Chapter 387 On Water

In Zhang Xuansu's view, the Song people, especially the envoys to the Jin State, are thin-skinned and good-looking, and they can't let go of the little cultural and etiquette self-esteem and stature in front of their Dajin.

Only the envoy Ye Qing in front of him made him not feel the good-faced and thin-skinned appearance of the Song people at all, and he was familiar with himself, it seemed that his face was not only not thin, but also very thick!

Didn't he remember at all how he treated himself and Lord Qishi Liezhi on the royal street in Lin'an?

So how could he act as if nothing had happened, as if nothing had happened, and he would be close to him as if nothing had happened, and he would still break into the mansion of Lord Qishi Liezhi?

What about the face that the Song people value the most? This ...... Can this envoy really do it? Don't you care about dropping your hair at all?

"If I'm not mistaken, Lord Zhang should be the head of your country's household department, right? By the way, I would like to ask you about it, how much does your country earn every year? Can I have half of my Great Song Dynasty? Ah, no? Then there should be 30%, right? No way? You can't reach two percent, right? Ye Qing followed Zhang Xuansu through the corridor, and the mansion of Shangshu Zuocheng was as powerful as the Zuo Xiang of the Great Song Dynasty.

Therefore, its mansion in Yanjing, naturally it is also luxurious, compared to the small jasper in the south of the Yangtze River, exquisite and elegant, although the architectural style here is also effective imitation of the style of the south of the Yangtze River, but it is obviously like their Shangshu Zuo Cheng and Right Cheng, as well as the official positions of other officials, imitating the same messy system of officials and positions of the Song Dynasty, but also imitating only its shape, not its god, everywhere is full of a nondescript weirdness.

"Can I tell you that this is the secret of my great gold kingdom? Isn't it known to everyone? Zhang Xuansu stopped helplessly, looked at the Song court envoy who was like a sparrow next to him, and the envoy of the Song Court who had never stopped since he saw himself asked.

"That's it, hehe, that's really abrupt." The envoys of the Song court did not feel embarrassed at all, and continued to ask if the Jin court was short of money, I heard that your taxes have been significantly improved under the supervision of the emperor, but I don't know if you can cope with such a large military expenditure of your Jin country?

"Then if it is according to Ye Envoy's intentions, should my Dajin halve all the troops? So that you can deal with the fallacy that you don't know where you heard that I am short of money? Zhang Xuansu stood still again and said helplessly.

He had never seen such a brazen person! And the envoy of the Song Court in front of him obviously opened his eyes, the indomitable, thick-skinned, and extremely familiar appearance made Zhang Xuansu's head a little big, as if he had fallen into a fly pit, and his ears were full of Ye Qing's questioning words.

Qishi Liezhi, who returned to Jinguo, was more elegant and generous than when he was embarrassed by Zhong Qing in Lin'an, in Ye Qing's opinion, this should be obtained by Qishi Liezhi after this trip to the Southern Song Dynasty.

Seeing Zhang Xuansu's gloomy face, followed by Ye Qing, who had been rejected by him for several days, walked towards the pond where he was, Qishi Liezhi was not angry, as if he had expected Ye Qing to follow him in with a dead face, and he had always held fish food and noodles in his hand

With a smile on his face, he looked at the two people who came over.

Zhao Qi'er and Xu Qing were stopped by the guards, so they could only watch Ye Qing follow Zhang Xuansu from a distance and walk to the pond where Qishi Liezhi was, and then the three of them sat on the left and right of Qishi Liezhi next to a huge stone table.

"Lord Ye came to me today, did you think of a statement, or did you plan to treat each other with sincerity and tell the old man the real purpose of your trip?" Qi Shi Liezhi smiled magnanimously and continued: "It is said that this is the best tea in your Song Dynasty, which was personally presented to Emperor Dajin by Zhao Gou, and tasted it. ”

"Since this is the case, it is naturally not bad, it must be the best and most high-quality tea in my Great Song Dynasty." After Ye Qing took a sip, he put down the cup, and the sparrow-like chattering in Zhang Xuansu's ear just now no longer existed, but the old god said lightly: "Song people are good tea, and it is not unheard of to make tea in the rain and dew. Dew boiled tea in front of the court, watching the flowers fall to know the rain, sweeping the path and washing the tiles without staining a piece of dust, the most clean people and the world. ”

"Lord Ye's export is a chapter, but it has the charm of the south of the Yangtze River, and the literary style of leisurely walking to watch the rain become a poem. So I don't know what Master Ye thinks, in my Dajin, where is the most suitable water for making tea? Seeing the meaning, Ye Qing was only satisfied with the tea, but he was not very satisfied with the water used to make tea, so Qishi Liezhi asked with a smile.

Today he has time, not to mention that the emperor has already asked about the envoys of the Song people, and according to what he knows, this time Ye Qing sent an envoy to the Jin State, in addition to putting pressure on the Song court, Zhao Gou sent him over, but he also had another plan, that is, to continue to reduce the annual tribute.

So he was very curious, Ye Qing in front of him, even if he was clever and smart, what way could he persuade himself, others and the emperor to let Dajin reduce the Song people's annual tribute?

"The water is clear and blue, clear and jade-like. The spring under the mountain flows like a jade rainbow, and Qingling is not the same as the springs. Naturally, it is the water of the mountain spring of the West Mountain, which is the best water for drinking tea. Ye Qing glanced at Zhang Xuansu next to him and said eloquently.

"Oh? If this is the case, Lord Ye seems to have gained a lot from the mountains and rivers in the past few days, if it can be proved that this water is indeed better than other waters, I can consider it and let Lord Ye enter the palace to see my Dajin Emperor. Qishi Liezhi's expression was full of disbelief.

The Song people's favorite is these haves and no, and for these landscapes always like to exaggerate, if you don't look at the landscapes only look at their poetry and songs, then those landscapes should be full of elegant artistic conception.

But if you look at those landscapes, most of the time, they are often not as magnificent and artistic conception as described by the poems and songs of the Song people, as if they are like a fairyland on earth, which is quite disappointing.

Xishan is commonly known as the head of Taihang, just like the dragon out of the water, there is the power of the clouds and the fog, guarding Yanjing, so it is called "the right arm of Shenjing" in the Tang Dynasty, presumably your country is located in Yanjing, but also values the Xishan to Yanjing's guard, so it will choose this place to build the capital. And the branch peak of the eastern foot of the West Mountain, in the sun of the mountain, its most prominent place is "the soil pattern is hidden, making dragon scales, sand marks and stone gaps, and there are springs everywhere." When it comes to the quality of water, it is naturally better to be light in water. If you don't believe it, you can take the same bucket of water, weigh it, and you will know whether what you say is true or false, right? "Ye Qing

Said with great confidence.

Of course, these are the things that their descendant Qianlong did, in order to get the best spring water, he did not hesitate to order people to take water from all over the country to scale, and finally won with mountain spring water, gave the name of the world's first spring, and inscribed "Yuquan Baotu".

Therefore, presumably Qianlong, who doesn't know that he is nesting in the northeast with his family, shouldn't he lie to himself?

Qishi Liezhi listened to Ye Qing's words, nodded with a smile, and then slowly stretched out his hands and patted them a few times: "Humane Song people are so extravagant and elegant, the old man saw it with his own eyes and thought it was true when he was in Lin'an, and now he heard Lord Ye's words, so that the old man admires the pleasure and elegance of the Song people even more." But....... After a pause, Qi Shi Liezhi said with a sinking face: "The sage has a cloud: playthings are demoralized, so I Dajin doesn't care about what kind of tea is brewed in water, including my Dajin Emperor, and I won't be as particular as Zhao Gou." Therefore, Lord Ye's hard work in the past few days is afraid that it will be in vain. ”

Ye Qing's face was calm, and he looked at Qishi Liezhi and Zhang Xuansu on the side, who nodded again and again because of Qishi Liezhi's words.

I have to say that today's Jin people are still strong, and they still maintain enough deterrence against other countries in all directions, it is not unreasonable, and their pragmatic and modest attitude obviously makes them the only strong people in the land of China during this period.

"As the so-called small gambling pleasure and big gambling hurt the body, whether it is mountains or water, care about the heart is not a person, if Lord Shi thinks that in the next words, he can make my Da Song Dynasty's extravagance enter Dajin and become the mainstream, then wouldn't it be too expensive? The joy of life is just that, of course, with the fact that your country is not rich now, it is obviously impossible to live a comfortable and elegant life like my Great Song Dynasty, and there is still a long way to go. Ye Qing finally began to laugh.

And Qi Shi Liezhi's face has always been gloomy, and he didn't seem to be a little relaxed because of Ye Qing's snort, and continued to say coldly: "If Lord Ye thinks that by relying on these little clever means, he can win the dragon face and great joy of my Dajin Emperor, and then exempt the Song Dynasty from paying tribute, then it is a big mistake. I, Emperor Dajin, are wise and martial, and I am not comparable to Zhao Gou, who is cowardly and only knows pleasure, and your set of Qin Hui's general methods will not work in my Dajin. ”

"Okay, be quick to talk, then if you are hiding and tucking it down, you will be a little childish, but you really want to make Lord Shi look down on it, and it is Ye who dares to make Lord Shi ugly on Lin'an Royal Street, and after leaving the territory of the Song Dynasty, he has become a person who can only flatter the powerful and flatter...... After Ye Qing took the teacup and drank it all, he said boldly.

"Isn't it?" Qishi Liezhi interrupted Ye Qing's words, and he was also ruthless.

What's more, the embarrassment that Ye Qing gave himself when he was in Lin'an was nothing compared to the embarrassment he gave him now.

"I don't know what other means Lord Ye has, you might as well use them together, and let me get to know them again, are the courtiers of the Song Dynasty all incompetent people who tend to be inflammatory, how about it?" Zhang Xuansu began to interject at this time.

Seeing the embarrassment of the envoys of the Song court, he naturally had indescribable happiness and happiness in his heart, as if he had returned to the glory days when he captured the two emperors of the Song court. (https:)
