Kou Ji knew in his heart that Wang Zeng and Cai Qi were not intent on disturbing his dreams.

It's really that Da Song is used to being hungry, and now he takes the initiative to send a big granary, and they don't eat it in their mouths, so they don't feel well.

But importantly, Kou Ji finished talking last night.

The rest is unimportant and there is hardly anything to talk about.

Whether it's a big ship or a material.

People just give as much as they want.

Anyway, even if Cao Yu opened his mouth widely, it wouldn't be too much.

Cao used what he really wanted, and Kou Ji gave it all last night.

Cao Yu must have known that Kou Ji would guess what he had done.

Kou Ji also knew what Cao Yu wanted.

So I promised it last night.

Otherwise, Cao Yu would not have added the word firearm to his request even though he knew that Da Song would not give him a firearm.

The words were spoken to Da Song, but what was really conveyed was in Kou Ji's ears.

Because Cao Yu knew in his heart whether he could get a firearm or not, Da Song said it didn't count, and Kou Ji said it.

Cao Yu did not insist that Da Song must give him a firearm before he was willing to hand over Jiaozhi, which shows that he knows where Kou Ji's bottom line is.

Kou Ji also saw that Cao was using his intellectual interest, so he gave him a promise.

Poor Cao Min was kept in the dark from beginning to end, like a tool man.

But he can pass the word between Kou Ji and Cao Yun, and he is worth it as a tool.

Cao Yu asked him to come to see Kou Ji, and immediately knelt down after seeing Kou Ji, and called Uncle Kou Ji repeatedly.

That means that Cao Yu sent him to have a relationship with Kou Jipan.

Cao Yu obviously wants to train Cao Min as his successor.

He wants his successor to meet Kou Ji and get in touch with Kou Ji, and it will be easier to find Kou Ji in the future.

The status of Kou Ji and Cao is used by this, and every move has a deep meaning.

If Cao Min hadn't told Cao Min earlier, Cao Min would not have been able to kneel so happily when he saw Kou Ji, let alone open his mouth and close his mouth to call his uncle.

Cao Min is now also the second in line to the throne.

You don't have to kneel when you see Zhao Zhen.

Seeing Kou Ji for no reason, it is impossible to kneel so happily.

What about life-saving grace?

In the eyes of many people, the grace of saving lives cannot compare to the gap and benefits of identity.

Kou Ji entered the Honglu Temple, and all the officials in the Honglu Temple had already bowed down and waited at the yamen.

After seeing Kou Ji, they greeted him warmly one by one.

"I've seen Kou Xiang......"

“……”

The crowd gave salutes.

Kou Ji waved his hand and said, "Don't be so polite...... We went to prepare the dossier of Cochin, and then we went to the Cochin Post House. ”

When Honglu Siqing heard this, he hurriedly spoke: "Back to Kou Xiang, the dossier that should be prepared, Xiaguan and the others prepared it overnight last night. ”

Kou Ji was stunned for a moment and said, "Then go check a few times to see if there are any omissions." ”

Honglu Siqing spoke again: "Back to Kou Xiang, during the third watch last night, Xiaguan and others prepared the file, and checked it four times overnight to confirm that it was correct. ”

Kou Ji opened his mouth and said hesitantly: "Then you go to have breakfast and rest." ”

Honglu Siqing was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Kou Xiang, Xiaguan and the others have already eaten a simple meal. ”

Kou Ji was silent for a few breaths, and ordered: "Then go down to sleep, and go to the Jiaozhi Post House when you wake up." ”

Honglu Siqing stared at Kou Ji stunned.

Kou Ji said in a deep voice with a straight face: "Today we are afraid that we will have to talk to the Jiaozhi envoy all night, if there is something wrong because of the sleepiness at night, and the Jiaozhi people take advantage of the loophole, it will not be beautiful."

It is important to know that this is a matter of great importance.

It is possible that if you can't say it well, millions of dollars will be easily promised.

So we have to be foolproof. ”

When Honglu Temple Qing heard this, he said solemnly: "Xiaguan understands, Xiaguan will order the people of Honglu Temple to go down to recuperate." ”

Kou Ji nodded with satisfaction, found a public room in the yamen of Honglu Temple, and fell asleep after entering.

Honglu Temple and others slept after Kou Ji.

One by one, they looked at each other.

Honglu Temple Shaoqing said to Honglu Temple Qing with a depressed face: "Wang Xiang and Cai Xiang sat here for a night last night, staring at us to prepare the dossier of Jiaozhi, and repeatedly checked it, and when we left, they specially told us that when Kou Xiang arrived, he would immediately go to Jiaozhi Post House."

But now that Kou Xiang arrives, he falls asleep, what can we do? ”

"Yes, yes, Wang Xiang and Cai Xiang asked, how should we answer? If we are to be held accountable, will we still be able to blame Kou Xiang? ”

Wang Xiang turned his face and talked about human feelings. Cai Xiang turned his face, that was the six relatives did not recognize. If we are targeted by Cai Xiang, it will be difficult for us to mix up in the DPRK and China in the future. ”

"Who should we listen to, Shangguan, give me an idea."

“……”

The officials of Honglu Temple stared at Honglu Temple Qing with sad faces, waiting for Honglu Temple Secretary to give an idea.

Honglu Siqing's face was also bitter, "We can't afford to offend Wang Xiang and Cai Xiang, and we can't afford to offend Kou Xiang." Wang Xiang and Cai Xiang were worried about us, and we were demoted at most.

If Kou Xiang had been concerned about us, he would have been sent to the border to herdsmen.

If you lose your head, you have to lose your head.

The lesser of two evils.

Let's listen to Kou Xiang.

Those who listen to Kou Xiang can live. ”

Shaoqing of Honglu Temple pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Shangguan is reasonable...... In this negotiation with the Jiaozhi people, Kou Xiang is the mastermind, and we are just assisting from the side.

If he doesn't move, we can't move.

When Wang Xiang and Cai Xiang asked about it, we said so.

If Wang Xiang and Cai Xiang understand us, we can be regarded as having passed a difficult time. ”

The rest of the Honglu Temple nodded one after another.

"Each class will rest, send someone to watch at the door, and once Kou Xiang wakes up, he will immediately meet here."

Honglu Siqing advised.

The whole Honglu Temple nodded in unison.

After arching their hands to each other, they each returned to their respective rooms.

Honglu Siqing did not leave, he stayed outside the public room where Kou Ji slept.

Kou Ji slept for an hour and a half, and only woke up after he had slept enough.

As soon as I went out, I saw Honglu Siqing sitting outside his room and dozing off.

"What are you doing here?"

Kou Ji asked casually.

Honglu Siqing woke up suddenly, got up and said, "Kou Xiang, are you awake?" ”

Kou Ji asked, "Why don't you go and rest?" ”

Honglu Siqing smiled dryly, "Xiaguan can't sleep." ”

Kou Ji shook his head, he didn't debunk Honglu Siqing's lies, he ordered: "Call the others, prepare to prepare, and go to the Jiaozhi Post House." ”

Honglu Siqing immediately agreed and went to gather the others.

After a while, the whole Honglu Temple came to Kou Ji.

Kou Ji didn't say anything, nodded the number of people slightly, took them out of Honglu Temple, and ran all the way to the Jiaozhi Post House.

When I arrived at the door of the Jiaozhi Post House, I saw Cao Min leading a group of Jiaozhi officials, waiting at the door of the post house.

Kou Ji took the initiative to greet him, and without waiting for them to salute, he asked, "You've been waiting for a long time, haven't you?" ”

Cao Min took the lead in saluting with a group of Jiaozhi officials.

After the salute.

Cao Min said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "I didn't wait long, there were only two hours." ”

Kou Ji was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Are you complaining about me? ”

Cao Min hurriedly said: "Don't dare to ......"

Kou Ji said with a smile: "Let Honglu Temple be the east tonight, and invite you to go to the teaching workshop to be happy, which can be regarded as making amends for your sins." ”

When Honglu Siqing heard this, he immediately echoed: "It should be so." ”

Kou Ji waved his hand and said, "Go in and talk." ”

After Kou Ji said this, he took the lead and walked into the post house, and the others quietly followed Kou Ji into the post house.

Koji has a great reputation and is a great deterrent.

Fortunately in the Great Song Dynasty, it is rumored outside the Great Song Dynasty that the people killed by Kou Ji directly and indirectly may have exceeded the entire population of Jiaozhi.

It is precisely because of this that Ko Ji gave orders to the envoys who crossed their fingers, and they did not complain.

They didn't know the relationship between Cao Yu and Kou Ji, they only knew that if the matter was discussed this time, everyone was happy, and if it was not good, the famous guy in front of him was about to lead the fierce army under his command to step into Jiaozhi.

They had privately calculated that if this person led his troops into Cochin, the chance of Cochin surviving under this man's hands was no more than 1 in 1,000.

As for winning, no one dares to think about it.

The achievements of the Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army in pushing Liaodi have long been spread all over the world.

Cochin than Liaodi, but projectile.

It is estimated that it is not enough for people to toss once.

Tens of thousands of artillery pieces piled up at the door of Jiaozhi, and after a round of bombardment, Jiaozhi had to surrender.

They have seen the power of artillery.

Know that that thing is a weapon on the battlefield.

The low walls of Cochin could not withstand the destruction of artillery at all.

Kou Ji entered the inn, and the servants in the inn had prepared everything they needed to negotiate.

Kou Ji unceremoniously went to the main seat, and the others took their seats.

Kou Ji nodded to Honglu Siqing, and the negotiations officially began.

The two sides engaged in a lengthy negotiation over the price of the sale of Cochin.

Kou Ji was not involved from beginning to end, and neither was Cao Min.

In the eyes of the two of them, the negotiation in front of them is a passing scene.

Because what they really want to talk about, the two of them have already finished talking in private.

Of course, in Kou Ji's eyes, he had a conversation with Cao Yong from thousands of miles away.

In Cao Min's eyes, Kou Ji ruled everything.

Negotiations went from noon to evening.

The mouths of both sides never stopped.

From time to time, he also looked at Kou Ji and Cao Min.

Don't look at what they talk about very hard, in fact, they are just grinding their mouths.

They all knew in their hearts that it was Kou Ji and Cao Min who were in charge.

Kou Ji and Cao Min didn't speak, no matter how much they talked, it was useless.

If people don't nod their heads, you can talk about a result, and they can overturn it for you.

But even then, they still have to talk.

Whatever the outcome, the posture has to be sufficient.

Seeing that everyone was also tired, Kou Ji slowly spoke, "Envoy, how old are you when I am obsessed, so I will call you a good nephew, okay?" ”

Cao Min saw that Kou Ji had spoken, and he didn't hold it again, he bowed slightly: "I have studied Song culture since I was a child, and I am familiar with the etiquette of the Song Kingdom. ”

Kou Ji nodded and said, "Virtuous nephew, since Jiaozhi has agreed to sell the land, he must have already thought about what to trade with my Great Song Dynasty." Did the king of Jiaozhi give you a list or something like that when he came? ”

Cao Min pretended to hesitate for a moment, then nodded: "There is a list, but there are only big ships and supplies. Manpower and firearms are not listed. ”

Kou Ji stretched out his hand and said, "Take it and I'll take a look......"

Cao Min took out a list from his cuff and handed it to Kou Ji.

Koji took the list and carefully reviewed it.

"Five thousand ships...... The king of Jiaozhi has a good appetite. However, it is the land of Jiaozhi that is paid, and it is not too much to ask for 5,000 big ships. ”

Kou Ji thought for a moment and said: "My Great Song Dynasty can't take out 5,000 big boats at a time, and if the government-run shipyard does it day and night, it will only produce 300 big boats a year."

If you set up a few more squares, you can barely make a thousand.

No matter how much there is, there are not enough craftsmen.

How about 5,000 big ships, delivered in five years? ”

Cao Min pondered for a moment and said, "Can I send someone to the Great Song Dynasty to learn the skills of shipbuilding?" If someone can be sent to the Great Song Dynasty to learn shipbuilding skills, then the Great Song Dynasty will be delivered in five years, and I can agree. ”

Kou Ji didn't think much about it, nodded and said, "It's okay to ......"

Now the big ships built by the Great Song Dynasty mostly use the skills of the Sui and Tang dynasties.

After the Great Song Dynasty followed the Sui and Tang Dynasty techniques, it made some improvements to form a unique Great Song Dynasty shipbuilding technology.

Due to the relatively prosperous trade of the Great Song Dynasty.

Therefore, the shipbuilding skills are still quite powerful.

But compared to the new ship that Kou Ji and Kou Tianci studied together according to the shipbuilding map of the Great Song Dynasty, it is a little worse.

Therefore, it is nothing to teach the existing shipbuilding skills to Jiaozhi.

Anyway, in a few years, new shipbuilding skills will appear in Handi, Xiyang, and the Great Song Dynasty.

The ships that will be built will not be worse than they are now.

Moreover, Kou Ji had the intention to connive at Cao to use it to turn the world upside down, so he naturally had to give some technical support.

Cao Min saw that Kou Ji happily agreed to let the Jiaozhi people go to the Great Song Dynasty to learn shipbuilding skills, so he didn't say anything more.

The same is true of the other envoys of Cochin.

On the contrary, it was the people of Honglu Temple, staring at Kou Ji one by one, scratching their ears and cheeks.

They felt that Kou Ji agreed too happily, so it was easy to be led by the nose.

But now that Kou Ji, the one in charge, is talking, they can't speak.

In formal settings, it is taboo to go against your boss at all times.

After Kou Ji approved the big ship, he continued to look at the supplies, one by one.

"Cotton...... Hemp...... Silk...... Cloth...... Iron ......"

After Kou Ji finished reading them one by one, he stared at Cao Min and said, "There are quite a few requests, but it is inevitable that I will underestimate my big song." ”

Kou Ji put the list on the table and said lightly, "I'll double it for you." ”

At this point, almost everyone present, except for Cao Min, looked at Kou Ji in shock.

The people of Honglu Temple almost screamed.

After being glared at by Kou Ji, he gritted his teeth and closed his mouth.

The faces of the people in Honglu Temple are not good-looking.

They felt that there was no such negotiation as Koji.

Others are talking less and less, and you take the initiative to double the amount for others, are you crazy?

There are a lot of materials that the Jiaozhi people want, and the Great Song Dynasty wants to take them out at one time, and they have to raise them well.

Doubling it could shake the foundations of some industries.

Kou Ji didn't care about the reaction of the people of Honglu Temple, and after he doubled the materials that Jiaozhi wanted, he said lightly, "Don't think about the manpower." I, a subject of the Great Song Dynasty, are not goods, and it is impossible for others to buy and sell, let alone become a trading commodity in the business field.

In the past, my court official family was at the head of Bianjing City, and announced to the people of the world that anyone who touched the people of the Great Song Dynasty would be punished by the Great Song Dynasty.

Dali didn't believe in this evil, and it hurt the lives of the people of the Great Song Dynasty.

I sent more than 100,000 troops to the front and back and pacified Dali.

The king of Dali is now eating fasting and reciting Buddha in the Daxiangguo Temple in Bianjing City.

Therefore, I advise you, don't beat me up against the people of the Great Song Dynasty.

Anyone who regards the lives of the people of my Great Song Dynasty as a mustard is an enemy of my Great Song Dynasty.

For this reason, I did not hesitate to fight.

No matter who the enemy is. ”

In the end, Kou Ji's words were categorical.

Everyone present heard a strong killing intent from Kou Ji's words.

They all clearly felt that Koji wasn't joking with them.

Time.

The faces of the messengers were very ugly.

was threatened so openly, but they dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, and they felt very aggrieved in their hearts.

The people of Honglu Temple looked excited.

They finally understood the reason why Kou Ji had refueled the supplies that Cochin had requested.

Kou Ji just wants to use materials to make up for the manpower.

In the midst of the two people, two looks, Kou Ji spoke again.

"There are no firearms, if you want, you can bring troops to get them yourself. The rest of the armaments are negotiable. ”

Kou Ji dropped these words, got up slowly, and said, "Everyone is tired today, and we will talk about the ordnance tomorrow, and you can also think about my words."

If you can promise, you will open the door tomorrow and wait for us.

No, you keep the door closed.

Someone will see you off the day after tomorrow.

When you return to Cochin, tell the King of Cochin to get ready to meet me.

When I went, I didn't take many people with me, just 300,000 forbidden troops.

If it can be stopped, we'll talk about it. ”

After saying this, Kou Ji rolled up his sleeves and left the inn.

One by one, the people of Honglu Temple followed behind Kou Ji with excitement and walked out of the post house.

As soon as Kou Ji and his party left, the Jiaozhi envoys shouted one after another.

"Insolence! It's so arrogant! I've never seen anyone so arrogant! ”

"If the heavens want to die, they must first make them mad...... Sooner or later, the Great Song Dynasty will be corrupted in his hands. ”

“……”

The cochin messenger shouted indignantly.

Cao Min had a gloomy face and roared in a low voice, "Enough!" ”

The Jiaozhi envoys closed their mouths one after another and looked at Cao Min in unison.

Cao Min gritted his teeth and said: "He is arrogant, but he has the capital to be arrogant." He gave an order, and 300,000 forbidden troops of the Great Song Dynasty went to my Jiaozhi. But everyone up and down my toes, even if I shouted through my throat, I couldn't muster the strength to resist the 300,000 forbidden army of the Great Song Dynasty.

The reason why my grandfather reluctantly sold Jiaozhi to the Song State was because he knew that my Jiaozhi would not be able to resist the conquest of the Song State. ”

"Back then, the Great Song Dynasty attacked me and crossed the Li Dynasty, and it wasn't a head rat beaten by King Li......"

There is a cross-toe that makes the submission dissatisfied, and gritted his teeth.

Cao Min glared at him and said, "It was back then, and now it's now." Back then, they were all short-handed soldiers, and I had an absolute geographical advantage, facing mediocre talents such as Hou Renbao, who was not familiar with military affairs.

What now?

The Great Song Dynasty had muskets and artillery, as well as countless ordnance made of gunpowder.

Even if we have a geographical advantage, it is difficult to resist.

A city, in the face of a short-handed attack, we can be for months.

But in the face of firearms, we may not be able to stop a breath.

What's more, the Great Song Dynasty also had generals such as Di Qing and Yang Wenguang who could fight well, and their tactics and strategies were better than Hou Renbao's.

What's more...... He...... More than 300,000 soldiers and horses can be mobilized.

He dared to go crazy, the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty dared to accompany him crazy, but I couldn't afford to accompany him. ”

After listening to Cao Min's words, the Jiaozhi envoys gritted their teeth and hung their heads in humiliation.

This is a big country, a big country that crushes Jiaozhi in all directions.

In the face of the oppression of such a big country, Jiaozhi only has a deep sense of powerlessness.

After Cao Min lowered his head from the other envoys of Jiaozhi, he said in a deep voice: "Before coming, my grandfather had already expected today's situation. He told me that he couldn't get a firearm, so he asked Da Song for a bow and crossbow.

Although I can imitate some crossbows of the Great Song Dynasty now, it is only a small bow and crossbow, and some large bows and crossbows, and it is still very difficult for me to imitate them, and it takes a lot of time.

Therefore, we must ask for enough large bows and crossbows from the Great Song Dynasty, as well as craftsmen who can make large bows and crossbows.

This matter needs to be discussed by you tomorrow, and you must remember that you must ask for the large bow and crossbow that I need in Jiaozhi and the craftsman who made the large bow and crossbow. ”

"I have paid for a country, so should I bring back some bows, crossbows, craftsmen, ships, and supplies?"

Someone shouted in grief.

Cao Min glared and said: "You also heard what he said just now, he said that he wouldn't let us buy and sell the Song people like goods, but he didn't say that we couldn't invite the Song people to be guests with us."

As long as the Song people sincerely leave with us, we will not be considered to have violated his words. ”

"But I can ...... toe"

"Enough...... You have seen my grandfather's inheritance overseas. You have also seen the maps that my grandfather sent merchants to collect.

Although we have paid for Jiaozhi, what we have gained is enough for us to gain a larger territory overseas, in the West.

To the west, Angkor, Bagan, Pengjialuo, and Tianzhu, which one is not richer than my Cochin, and that territory is not larger than my Cochin?

With them, we will be able to establish a dynasty that is richer, stronger, and more massive than Cochin. ”

"Yes...... We have few ......."

"But we have far more elite soldiers and horses than them, far stronger than their armor, and we can break a country, and we can build a country by their population."

“……”

Just as Cao Min was showing the Jiaozhi envoy the ambitions of their Cao family, the people of Honglu Temple were chasing after Kou Ji, talking with an excited face.

"I've been in the Honglu Temple for 12 years, and I've never seen a scene like today."

Honglu Siqing followed Kou Ji's footsteps and said excitedly.

The young secretary of Honglu Temple nodded and said, "In the past, we were cautious when we interacted with envoys from other countries. Today, Kou Xiang has opened our eyes. ”

"Such a domineering, will the Jiaozhi people not be able to accept it?"

“……”
