556. Rare and domineering
A group of soldiers rushed forward and dragged the prince and his servants, who had not found a chance to report their home until the end, out like a dead fish.
No matter what kind of identity this prince has, the emperor ordered that the lord of the country who was begging for it would be in person, and these soldiers would obviously not hesitate either.
The out-of-town diners who were still in the inn all looked incredulously surprised.
They were surprised by Zhao Dongting's grade, surprised by Zhao Dongting's identity, and even more surprised by what Zhao Dongting just said.
It seems that in the future, the situation of them living on people in Leizhou will be gone forever.
At the moment, these diners are also extremely overwhelmed. The Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty is an existence that they dare not provoke, and they dare not even think about it.
Some people are already wondering in their hearts whether it is better to keep a low profile and be like this guy who doesn't know whether he will come to Leizhou in the future, so as not to be cleaned up by the Great Song Dynasty like this guy who doesn't know whether he is alive or dead just now.
And at this time, Zhao Dongting, who had already exposed the identity of the Great Song Zhenlong Emperor, would not look at them again.
He waved his hand and asked Lu Xiufu and the others to get up, watching the young brother and the hired man being dragged out, his face was slightly disordered, and he said, "There are a lot of foreign businessmen who are powerful in Leizhou these days? ”
Seeing that this boy has just become familiar with the road, I am afraid that it is not the first time he has done such a thing in Leizhou. I can't say that I have tasted the sweetness, and I have not paid any price.
Lu Xiufu, who was the head of the state order of the hundred officials in the DPRK, hesitated slightly, bowed down and replied: "Back to the emperor, since the resumption of maritime trade between our dynasty and the Ryukyus and other places, and the favorable conditions for them in trade regulations, these overseas traders have indeed had many powerful and blessed people in Leizhou in our court. It's just that there is no special law for them in my court, and you have not returned, Your Majesty, and the ministers dare not make any claims, and they have not made any big trouble, so ......"
"Didn't make a big fuss?"
Zhao Dongting shook his head lightly, "If you really have to wait until there is too much trouble, you won't want to clean it up when the time comes, and it's just a matter of making amends." ”
As he spoke, he glanced lightly at the diners who were still sitting in the inn like pins and needles, not daring to speak or leave, and said: "There is no need to give them any specific laws, since it is to the territory of our Great Song Dynasty, it is natural to do things according to the rules of our Great Song Dynasty, and it is true that doing business is friendly and profitable, but what is more important is the face of our Great Song Dynasty." You're right? ”
Lu Xiufu and the others naturally nodded again and again.
Wang Wenfu, who was the Ministry of Law, asked softly, "What does the emperor mean...... In the future, our Great Song Law will also include these people from abroad? ”
Zhao Dongting, who rarely showed the emperor's domineering eyes, narrowed slightly, "As long as it is in our Great Song Dynasty, it is like this." If these outsiders are used to being unscrupulous in our Great Song Dynasty, they don't care now, and more and more people will follow suit in the future, and if they want to manage it, they will have to spend more effort. I, the people of the Great Song Dynasty, were not born to be bullied by these foreign traders. They want to make money and bully people, how can there be such a good thing? ”
"The Emperor Shengming!"
All the ministers fell to their knees and shouted on the ground again.
Li Xiushu was slightly surprised.
And those out-of-town diners have ugly faces for a moment.
In the future, it seems that it will be really difficult to reappear in the chic days of Leizhou.
Lin Chong quietly looked at Zhao Dongting, and there was also a look of surprise in his eyes. Probably, such a strong Zhao Dongting made it difficult for him to overlap it with the weak Song Dynasty royal family.
How many emperors were so domineering and decisive among the emperors of the Southern Song Dynasty before?
If there were, the Great Song Dynasty would not end up wandering overseas.
Zhao Dongting waved his hand again, asking Lu Xiufu and the others to get up, "You adults don't need to come here to see me, so let's go back to Haikang first!" I'll wait a few seniors to return on their own. Then he looked at Li Xiushu, "This is Princess Li Xiushu of the Western Xia royal family, you escort her back to the palace by the way, arrange to live in the harem, and let the inner chamberlain serve her, if Princess Xiushu has any requests, she will agree." ”
Li Xiushu, who had almost never spoken, suddenly whispered, "I said that I want to go back to Western Xia, and I will agree?" ”
Zhao Dongting was slightly stunned, "Except for this." ”
It seems that the canary, who has lived in the most luxurious birdcage in the world for many years, still has a great grudge in his heart.
But what does this have to do with him Zhao Dongting?
He won't take it.
"Yes."
After Lu Xiufu and the others received the order, they left with Li Xiushu. Li Xiushu knew that she was afraid that she would not be able to escape the days of being a canary, so she did not struggle at all.
After so many years of involuntarily being able to do so, this woman whose personality is not particularly stubborn and strong has already learned to accept her fate.
She only hopes that her brother can quickly defeat the White Horse Army in Shuzhong and come to Leizhou to pick her up.
Zhao Dongting and a few people stayed in the inn.
Lin Chong and Su'er were accompanied by their husbands and wives, and Lin Chong told Tie Li about his general experience over the years.
At the time of the Battle of Xiangyang, he was still just a young man, but he had a good talent in martial arts, and he followed the master and Tie Li in the Yanyu Battalion, just as the Yanyu Battalion was not disbanded, it can be said that he would be a sure person in the Yanyu Camp in the future. But the battle of Xiangyang doesn't know how many people's lives have changed, including Tie Liduan, including Lin Chong, and his master.
Tie Liduan disappeared into the world with resentment, and Lin Chong followed his master to the most remote Qiongzhou.
After that, nothing too grandiose happened.
Master and apprentice used their real names and lived in seclusion in a village in Qiongzhou. Then, Lin Chong's master died prematurely due to a hidden illness.
Lin Chong didn't have any intention of getting ahead again, and his wife in the same village naturally fell in love with each other and formed a relationship between coming and going.
The days are very dull, but they are also warm.
Lin Chong doted on his wife.
His wife said that he wanted to come out and have a look, so he took his wife to the port of Leizhou and used his strength to build an inn to make money.
He told his wife that when he had saved enough money, he would take her across the ocean and go to overseas countries. That should already be the farthest place.
Zhao Dongting originally wanted to recruit Lin Chong, but after listening to Lin Chong's narration, he also cut off this thought.
Lin Chong's force value is definitely not bad, but it is not yet indispensable. Zhao Dongting didn't want to interrupt his and his wife's peaceful life.
As soon as he entered Wuding Hall, he was really a life and death affair.
Mo said that Lin Chong, who is not yet a powerhouse in the True Martial Realm, is as strong as Hong Wutian, Mrs. Xu, etc., who would dare to predict that he will not encounter danger for the rest of his life?
In this world, after all, there is not only one Wu Dingtang.
The martial artists in the world are like carp crossing the river, a group of clusters, and like a weed, wave after wave. No matter how difficult it is to come out, there are always countless strong people in the entire Nuoda Jianghu.
Up to now, except for the one in the Hidden Sword Pavilion, no one in the world has vanity and has been hung with the word "strongest".
And even if the sword god is empty, he is only respected among swordsmen. But no one said that he must be the strongest martial artist in the world.
When he didn't sit in the inn for a long time, Zhao Dongting also left with Hong Wutian and Mrs. Xu, but let Tie Lixuan stay and catch up with Lin Chong.
He didn't say that he wanted to give Lin Chong money, first of all, there was no reason. Moreover, with Lin Chong's force value, giving him money inevitably seems abrupt, and it really means to humiliate him.
A gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way.
If Lin Chong really wants to make money by any means, what inn does he need to open in this port?
He was afraid that he would not enjoy this kind of life with his wife. Seeing his wife's surprised appearance just now, he obviously didn't know that he was still an extremely powerful swordsman.
Leaving the inn, Zhao Dongting, Hong Wutian, Mrs. Xu, and Kumano walked to Haikang County, and they were not in a hurry.
At this time, it has been nearly a year since he left Haikang for Longhu Mountain, and he also wants to see how Leizhou is developing now.
If you want to get rich, you must first build roads. It is necessary to look at the ecology of the people, look at the houses where the people live, and look at the development trend of the imperial court, and many clues can also be seen from the road.
All the way, all the way.
Zhao Dongting saw all the things he passed along the way.
The development of the imperial court should be quite good.
There are no more potholes on the official road, and everything has been filled with broken stones. Some villages not far from the official road are also white walls and black tiles, and they do not reproduce the tattered and barren scene of the past.
After the prosperity of shipping, it must be that these people not far from the port have also accumulated some surplus money.
Looking at this scene, Zhao Dongting felt a little comforted. After coming to Da Song for so many years, the hard work is not in vain.
