Wang Lun could clearly feel his feelings for Ye Qing like chicken ribs from Zhao Gou's current behavior.

Let him give up Ye Qing completely, Zhao Gou was somewhat reluctant in his heart, after all, since this "knife" was held in his hand, it has done many miraculous feats for him and everything has gone smoothly, and the important thing is to help him solve the heavy and suffocating pressure of the golden man who has been pressing on his heart for many years, and can humiliate him at any time.

But if he is allowed to continue to reuse, even if he just keeps this "knife" in his hand and no longer unsheathed it like now, Zhao Gou is worried that one day Ye Qing will become bigger because of this, causing the tail to be big, and even repeating the mistakes of Qin Hui and Tang Sihui.

It's a pity to abandon the tasteless food, now it is Zhao Gou's opinion of Ye Qing, but he has to rely on Ye Qing, and there is no good way for the time being, so that Ye Qing can return to the days when he was still the head of the forbidden army.

The melodious bell sounded from the Yuanyou armillary sphere on the upper floor of Jiahui Gate City, as if to remind Zhao Gou that this Ye Qing can be described as both civil and military, and can not only fulfill his wish for him, such as rebuilding this Yuanyou armillary sphere, but also solve problems for him in secret, and even the major affairs of the country He can handle it cleanly and neatly, without dragging his feet.

As the last bell gradually disappeared in the sky above Lin'an City, Zhao Gou's calm face still didn't see anything unusual, and the last bait in his hand was thrown into the lake, causing the fish to flutter out a small wave to scramble for the bait, Zhao Gou clapped his hands and said: "Zhaoxin King enters the palace, I have something to look for him." ”

"Yes, the Emperor." Wang Lun sighed secretly in his heart.

At the beginning of the Xuande Palace, the festival between King Xin and Ye Qing, and even the matter of King Xin and Ye Qing on the West Lake, Zhao Gou knew it clearly.

Ye Qing has never concealed the unhappiness between him and Zhao Xuan, the king of letters, several times, because he believes that this kind of concealment is completely unnecessary, if Zhao Gou wants to know, he can know no matter what, if he doesn't want to know, even if you shout in his ear eight hundred times, he will turn a deaf ear and treat it as if nothing happened.

What happened in Lin'an City, Ye Qing, who was far away in Xingqing Mansion in Western Xia, obviously could not fully grasp it, after reaching an agreement with Han Daochong, Ye Qing's letter to Han Yanxuan was written more politely, and even in the matter of Han Yanxuan stationed in Dasanguan, Ye Qing's tone was already like discussing with him, not an order.

Han Yanxuan's reply was also extremely polite and polite, completely obeying Ye Qing's orders, without the slightest drag, just like his style of acting, decisive and capable.

Therefore, whether it is Ye Qing, who is reading a letter in Xingqing Mansion, or Han Yanxuan, who is reading a letter in Dasanguan, the two of them have exchanged letters frequently through these days, like pen pals, and a feeling of knowing each other and hating each other has risen in each other's hearts.

Although the two have met several times, no matter which time, even if it was the last time when Ye Qing and Qishi Lie Zhining clashed on the royal street, Han Yanxuan stood up and cheered for Ye Qing in a bright way, and then the time the two drank together, it didn't make the two feel a sense of sympathy for each other like now.

"Po Li San is almost here." Wu Juan ran up to the second floor, sat down opposite Ye Qing again, and continued: "Dasanguan has also been emptied now, and there will be no new goods in the back for the time being. ”

"How many people did you bring?" Ye Qing folded Han Yanxuan's letter and put it in the envelope, and asked lightly.

"It's all brought here, Po Li San said, there is a place in the Qinling Mountains, even if there is Han Yanxuan guarding the Dasan Pass, but if you want to find a valley or something, it is not a problem to hide a thousand eight hundred people." Wu Ju looked at the camel caravan outside the window and said.

The weather is gradually getting warmer, although it is still a little cold in the morning and evening, and you need to thicken your clothes, but now at noon, you can already feel the hot temperature of the sun to give people that lazy feeling.

"Let all the goods enter the territory of the Xia Kingdom, this is the official document given by Han Daochong, and it is exempt from inspection all the way." Ye Qing smiled and took out the documents that he gave immediately after the negotiation when he was invited to the mansion by Han Daochong for the first time, and continued: "Just hoard at the Shizuishan ferry, as for the Xia people, don't contact them for the time being." ”

"So dangerous?" Wu Juan was stunned for a moment, looked at Ye Qing and asked.

"Who knows, it's not necessarily a good thing anyway. If it weren't for Han Yanxuan guarding the Great Scattered Pass, I wouldn't even want to let all the goods go, so as not to run out of people and money at that time. Now Xia Guo seems to be peaceful, but Ren Dejing is not easy to ponder. Ye Qing sighed, and then pointed to another letter and said: "This is given by Lao Liu Tou before you came up, there has always been an eyebrow between the barbarian department and the Liao people, and I don't know what the Liao people want to do, the people of the barbarian department are also coming to the Xia country now, and Wan Yan Jing is also going to the Xia country to ......." ”

"Wan Yan Jing is also going to Xia Kingdom?" Wu Juan gasped, and asked with a relaxed expression that was a little shocked by Ye Qing's relaxed expression: "Then you are not afraid that they will come to Xia Kingdom, most of them are here for you?" Do you want Lao Liu Tou to blatantly leave everyone in Xingqing Mansion, so that when the Jin people arrive, at least your safety can be more guaranteed. ”

"Han Daochong will not watch the Jin people and me clash in the Xia Kingdom, if we have a conflict, it will not benefit them at all, and in the end, it is likely that Ren Dejing will be cheaper. So this kind of thankless thing, Xia people won't do it, and Wan Yanjing won't want to clash with me head-on, this Jinyuan County King, I still have a little bit of understanding. Ye Qing sighed and said with a smile.

"The Jin people are also coming to the capital of the Xia Kingdom, plus the existing us, and then the Liao people, as well as the Tatars, and the Tibetan people and the people of Dali are sent to the Tibetans, if they also have people here, it will be really a stormy meeting, and it will be very lively." Wu Juan looked at Ye Qing's unworried appearance at all, and after Ye Qing's explanation made him understand that their situation was not as dangerous as it seemed on the surface, Wu Ju said with a long sigh of relief.

"Who told you that the Tibetans didn't come? Do you think that the one called Geshe Suobu is really just a person who went to the Xia Kingdom to preach the scriptures and purify sentient beings? It's not that simple, but this is the territory of the Xia people, and there is not much useful information that our people can understand. Ye Qing sighed and said.

"But our Imperial City Division still has to work hard for the Xia people." Wu Juan continued to smile lightly.

Just like Li Heng, this guy doesn't like to use his brain more and more in front of Ye Qing, he only listens to Ye Qing now, and he will do whatever Ye Qing says, in short, he believes that Ye Qing will not harm him alone.

What's more, the situation and power that the Imperial City Division has now, even in the heyday of the Imperial City Division, have never been able to extend its tentacles in all directions like today.

"Desperate?" Ye Qing snorted coldly, and a sinister smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Whether it is selling your life or buying your life, it's hard to say now." Agreeing to Han Daochong does not mean that we have to cash in immediately, not to mention, the Xia people's chaos is beneficial to us, not the joy of respecting death is beneficial to us, so ah, we have to think about how to get greater benefits when the Xia people are going to be in chaos. As for Ren Decong and Ren Degong, it is not easy for them to die, but after people die, whether they can play their due role is the most important thing. So we have to look at the right time to act. ”

Wu Juan knew that Lao Liu, who had not shown up for a long time, and Xu Qing, who was always like an elusive person, had already begun to monitor Ren Degong and Ren Decong's every move, so if Ye Qing said that it would be easy for the two of them to die, Wu Ju was not skeptical at all.

"So what's next? Why don't you go to meet the beautiful princess of Liao? They have invited you several times. "The task of the military judge has always been very simple, that is, to protect Ye Qing's safety in Xingqing Mansion.

Since the last time the two of them were blocked in the alley by Ren Lei, and then ran around like lost dogs, now as long as Ye Qing leaves the Zhongwei Tea Shop, there are at least ten to twenty people around him who look like businessmen or ordinary people secretly follow, in case the same mistake as last time happens again.

"Don't worry, Princess Chengli hopes to reach an agreement with us to deal with the pressure that Ren Dejing gave them, and besides, Yeluyue is more interested in some items of the Song people, so in a few days, if possible, we will take her to the Shizuishan ferry, and strive to digest these goods to the Liao people, instead of our dark spot here." Ye Qing continued to tap his fingers on the table and said.

"Yes...... In this case, I am afraid that the Xia people will be angry, if this is the case....... ”

"Merchants are very profitable, they don't spend a penny, they don't do anything, they can easily earn the difference, they don't have too many complaints. However, I also had to appease them, and told them that when the situation in Xia Kingdom eased, let Li Yicheng give it to them. Ye Qing interrupted the words of the military judgment and said.

Since he met Sangkun, all the trade and materials of the Imperial City Division to the grassland were transported through the middlemen of the Xia people, although this caused an increase in costs, but this was the only way to insure.

What's more, these Xia merchants have made extremely rich profits from them, and since the crown princess Li Fengniang joined, the goods have increased exponentially, which has caused the Xia people, a few middlemen who are connected with the Imperial City Division, in order to swallow more goods and make more profits, have begun to contact the Liao people, or merchants in farther places.

In this way, by mistake, a more rugged, difficult, and profitable Silk Road has gradually formed between the Imperial City Division and the Xia Shang, which is not more profitable than the real Silk Road, so that the goods of the Southern Song Dynasty, in addition to the trade routes by sea, have another way to make money.

This is also the reason why Ye Qing has been biting on letting Han Daochong be exempted from taxes, and it is also in order to increase his profits, rather than letting the middlemen earn most of the benefits.

In Ye Qing's opinion, that is, the wool is out of the sheep, that is, Xia Shang and Xia Guo are taxed, then I will let Xia Guo give me tax exemption, no matter how the property between you works, at least Ye Qing and the Imperial City Division are in terms of income and expenditure, but they have achieved the purpose of subsidizing their own interests with Xia Guo's tax exemption.
