As soon as he arrived at Zhao Gou's mansion, Dong Ping's eyes were attracted by the room full of painting scrolls and calligraphy.

Looking at the works of those famous Tang Dynasty artists, and a few of Zhao Gou's own paintings and calligraphy, Dong Ping couldn't help but secretly admire, although this Zhao Gou and his father are not the material to be emperors, they still can't starve to death as a painter!

In any case, this kind of talent should not be put in this position to condescend to talent, isn't there a saying that "a painter who doesn't want to be a calligrapher is not a good emperor?" ”

Dong Ping turned on the perspective technology of the system again, looked around the whole room, and looked at the situation, Zhao Gou did not have any actions that were unfavorable to him.

Zhao Gou hung the sword on the wall, saw that Dong Ping had been staring at those paintings, and also smiled and said, "If Governor Dong is interested, it doesn't hurt to take a few from this king!"

"Your Highness calls me by my name, and this governor is just a private name." Dong Ping smiled and waved his hand, and said, "I believe it won't be long before these treasures can be seen at Your Excellency's celebration banquet."

Zhao Gougang sat down, a light suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he said excitedly: "Brother Dong has something to say, you don't need to scruple!"

"Hehe, Your Highness, once what I want to say today is done, it will be beneficial to the Great Song Dynasty......"

Dong Ping paused, sat on the chair, his fingers tapped on the table casually, and the corners of his mouth had a hint of curvature: "Moreover, it can help you ascend to the Ninth Five-Year Supreme and dominate the universe!"

For a moment, Zhao Gou's spirit was a little trance-like.

Soon, his mood had shifted to ecstasy.

Trying his best to calm his excitement, Zhao Gou looked at Dong Ping's face, and he couldn't see a trace of pretense in Dong Ping's eyes.

"Brother Dong...... No, Mr. Dong. Zhao Gou's face sank, and he said word by word: "I heard that His Majesty intends to recommend you to the court several times to do things, I don't know why you want to refuse?"

"Hehe, if I say that I have no interest in being an official, does Your Highness believe it?" Dong Ping smiled and said.

"Sir is really not a layman." Zhao Gou laughed twice and said, "Since this is the case, you should also know about the open and secret battles between the DPRK and China?"

Dong Ping didn't rush to speak, but just looked at the Zhao Gou in front of him without a trace.

Sure enough, it was a teenager, Dong Ping smiled secretly in his heart, he entered his own set so simply, what kind of battle between the court and the middle of the court, it was not the battle between him Zhao Gou and Zhao Huan for the throne!

No matter what era, in the face of interests, there will always be those who leave everything behind.

In front of them, all brothers, fathers, sons, uncles and nephews are empty words.

From Zhao Gou's face, through his gaze, Dong Ping could probably guess his plan.

In history, when the Jin soldiers went south, Zhao Gou was raising troops outside, not to mention the common people, the life or death of his father and brother was not a matter for him!

When the two emperors were captured by the Jin people, it was natural for him to inherit the throne.

As for Yue Fei's proposal to save the second emperor, he not only did not accept it, but it was an extremely repulsive attitude.

Lao Tzu finally got mixed up with the emperor, and now you want to invite those two guys back?

Since then, the differences between Zhao Gou and Yue Fei have become deeper and deeper.

It can be seen from this that this Zhao Gou can go crazy for power!

"In that case, I'll get straight to the point." Dong Ping's tone sank: "King Ding, this person has no talent and no virtue, in my opinion, if this person inherits the Great Song Dynasty, it will be detrimental to the overall situation!"

"And His Royal Highness King Kang, you are talented, have the spirit of a king, and are decisive, and you are rightly inheriting the unification!"

"Bang!"

Zhao Gou stood up suddenly, and even knocked down the chair, his throat moved, and after half a day, his mind gradually calmed down.

"Is that serious, sir?" After a long silence, he slowly opened his mouth.

Dong Ping just smiled: "This is natural, but I don't know what you think about King Kang?"

"Hehe, Mr. said he was smiling." Zhao Gou casually pulled over a chair and sat down, and said in a calm tone: "This king will naturally use legitimate means to sit on the throne, and some incompetent people can naturally only roll down."

Dong Ping raised the corners of his eyebrows, smiled and said: "Since you want to be the lord of the world, you naturally have to sweep away the opponents of this world first, this Taoist ideal King Bikang should be very clear, right?"

The corners of Zhao Gou's mouth twitched, and he already brought a smile: "You mean, let this king deal with Wang Qing and Tian Hu's two thieves, so as to gain military merits and win His Majesty's appreciation?"

Dong Ping smiled and said: "Exactly, I still have some weapons here, since King Kang wants to eliminate harm for the country and the people, they should belong to the people who need it."

As soon as Dong Ping's words fell, in a moment, only a sound of Qiang was heard, and five hundred Condor crossbows had already piled up the entire room!

"This ......" Zhao Gou looked at the Condor Crossbow that appeared all over the ground at that moment, and stood up suddenly, his eyes were more ecstatic than a little shock.

He had already heard about Dong Ping's mastery of Taoism in the capital, but he didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to see it in person today!

No one knows the power of the Condor Crossbow better than Zhao Gou, in fact, he has one in his hand now.

At that time, when Dong Ping's first batch of Condor crossbows were sent to the imperial court, Zhao Gou was still dismissive at first.

After he saw the power of the Condor Crossbow with his own eyes, this Zhao Gongzi was suddenly speechless.

Such a pitch-black gadget is actually several times more powerful than the most elite divine arm crossbow in the Great Song Dynasty, both in terms of lethality and accuracy!

It's not that Zhao Gou didn't think about dealing with Tianhu Wang Qing, but Tong Guan and Yang Jian were defeated by these two thieves a while ago, so he gave up this idea.

And now that there are so many Condor crossbows, what is there to fear from dealing with these thieves?

"Sir, I really don't know how to thank you!" Zhao Gou sat down again, and said in an excited tone: "Sir's mana is all over the sky, and heroes like Mr. Da Song are really a blessing for all the people."

"Don't get excited." Dong Ping smiled and waved his hand: "You have to deal with more than these two, have you heard of this person in Jiangnan Jiquan?"

"Fang La?"

Zhao Gou's brows furrowed, and there was a hint of doubt in his tone: "Isn't this person the leader of the Ming Sect, and he often contributes silver taels to the Great Song Dynasty to deal with other thieves?"

"Hehe, it's not as simple as it seems." The corners of Dong Ping's mouth rose slightly, but his tone suddenly became serious: "You listen to me, focus on guarding against him before he officially starts the army, otherwise he will definitely regret it!"

When Zhao Gou heard this, he held his chin with his right hand, and thought for a while before he spoke: "Okay, I will suggest that Your Majesty transfer Han Shizhong of the Western Army to Yangzhou to see what kind of wind and waves this Fang La can stir up!"

Zhao thought for a while, and then said with a smile: "Mr. Dong, you have helped this king so much, how can this king have to repay this favor, in this way, this king will inform His Majesty that how about reducing the tariff of two-thirds of your Dongping City and foreign trade alone?"

Two thirds?!

Dong Ping's heart was shocked, now the merchants of Dongping and Jeju and Ryukyu (Taiwan) have a large amount of imported grain and sea salt business.

Tea and porcelain from the Central Plains were exported in large quantities under Dong Ping's orders, and it stands to reason that this was a good business for mutual exchange and mutual benefit.

However, here's the problem.

Because the customs taxes levied by the Song Dynasty were too high, and the war on their side was turbulent in the first two years, those foreign merchants were somewhat repulsed.

It is estimated that Cheng Wanli has released some news to the outside world in the past two years, and now people in those two places are not very willing to interact with him!

If the tariffs on Dongping City can be reduced by two-thirds, the current embarrassing situation may be greatly improved.

Zhao Gou saw that Dong Ping had not spoken, thinking that he was too little, and said: "Mr. Dong, if you are still not satisfied, this king asked Nanjing and Xijing to introduce fifty percent of the merchants to trade with you, how about it, Your Excellency is still satisfied?"
