Chapter 765 Trading
After entering the wax moon, it snowed heavily in Bingzhou.
Heavy snow is blowing in the capital, and there are few pedestrians on the streets.
But at this time, there was a scholar in white, strolling through the streets.
He looked left and right, curious about everything around him, and even wanted to go in and see any shop he saw.
After he looked around like this, the sky had darkened, but the snow was getting more and more diffuse.
The white-clothed scholar stepped into the post station, and at this time, a man of the same age walked over, but this man was relatively more burly.
"Mr. Liu, you have been shopping here for a day, but what have you gained, this day is really cold."
As he spoke, the man rubbed his hands together to warm himself up.
The scholar in white is Liu Bowen, and this man is Lan Yu, they are all courtiers of Zhu Zhang, the son of the Ming Kingdom, but Liu Bowen is a strategist and Lan Yu is a general.
After Liu Bowen sat down, he poured a cup of hot tea to warm his hands, and said: "Tang Guo, it is really extraordinary, in just two years, he destroyed Qi Liang, and he does have some ability." ”
Lan Yu pursed his lips and said, "Can we be as powerful as our Ming Kingdom?" Our Ming country, the fierce generals are like clouds, and there are many talents, and our capital Jinling is much more prosperous than this state. ”
When he came, Lan Yu also took a look at it twice, this merge state, it is really not as prosperous as their Jinling City. Liu Bowen heard Lan Yu's words and smiled: "General Lan wants to say prosperous, before this merger, it was not worse than our Jinling, but their Tang Kingdom was going to move the capital, so many people were ready to leave one after another, because it was not so prosperous here, if you went to Chang'an City, you might not know what it would look like, let's not talk about this for the time being, the only thing that is shocking is that the streets here are not frozen to death." ”
Speaking of this, Liu Bowen sighed lightly: "The land of Jinling is not a severe cold, but there are many people who freeze to death every year, and it is very cold in Bingzhou, but no one freezes to death, isn't this enough to explain some problems?" ”
"Not a single one froze to death? Is Mr. Liu stupid, how can no one here freeze to death? Liu Bowen shook his head: "I have already asked, Tang Guo has not frozen to death for several years, because as long as the winter comes, the people who have no way to protect themselves from the cold will be sent to the welfare home, where there is food, drink and clothes, and they will not be sent out until the winter passes. ”
"There is such a thing?" Lan Yu was a little shocked, because he knew that many people would freeze to death in any country in winter, Tang Guo didn't, he was really surprised, and besides, they were still in the north, and the weather was already much colder than them.
"There is really such a thing, not only that, but all kinds of goods in the Tang Kingdom are also in demand all over China, those drunken dreams and death, perfumes, soaps, it is difficult to find them in our Ming Kingdom, here, there are many of them."
The more Liu Bowen said, the more shocked Lan Yu became, and when Liu Bowen finished speaking, Lan Yu couldn't help but let out an exclamation: "I really didn't expect that the Tang Kingdom has prospered to such a point, Mr. Liu, we are here to cooperate with the Tang Kingdom, it seems that we have come to the right place." ”
Liu Bowen nodded: "It's the right time, I'm afraid things won't be so easy, and I'll take a look after I see the emperor of Tang tomorrow." ”
------------------
The snow fell overnight and stopped the next day.
After the snow stopped, the streets of Namju were already covered with thick snow.
The carriage was difficult to walk in the snow.
Liu Bowen and Lan Yu were waiting outside the palace hall, and a cold wind blew, making them shiver.
They are all southerners, and they really can't stand such cold weather.
Lan Yu is a little better, he is a military general, and his resistance is good, but Liu Bowen waited and sneezed.
Outside, it's just too cold.
However, despite this, Liu Bowen did not have the slightest sense of urgency, and still stood quietly outside and waited, Lan Yu was a little impatient from time to time.
After waiting for half of the envoys, a eunuch finally called the two of them into the palace.
When the two of them entered the main hall, they suddenly felt a warmth all over their bodies, which surprised them and made them feel incredible.
Because, the warmth here is as good as spring, but even if it's a house, it's not possible, right?
They didn't know that it was because there was a fireplace burning outside.
However, Liu Bowen didn't dare to ask casually, and after entering the main hall, he immediately saluted: "Liu Bowen, the envoy of the Ming Kingdom, meet the emperor of the Tang Kingdom." ”
Liu Bowen made a big salute, Lan Yu hesitated beside him, and hurriedly followed the salute: "Lan Yu, the envoy of the Ming Kingdom, meet the emperor of the Tang Kingdom." ”
Li Yu sat on the dragon chair, looking at Liu Bowen and Lan Yu, his heart jumped, they are all capable generals around Zhu Zhang, if they can be used by themselves, why worry that the world can't be unified?
It's just that as people from the Ming Kingdom, it is even more difficult for them to be subdued, so although they have the intention to use them, Li Yu does not show it in the slightest.
"The two envoys of the Ming Kingdom, why did they brave the cold to come to our Tang Kingdom, but what is the matter?" Li Yu asked, he knew very well that the Ming Kingdom was in Jinling, which was not particularly far from their Tang Kingdom, and if they stepped up quickly, they could reach it in a month, but there was still a Wei State between the two countries, and the relationship between the Ming State and the Wei State was not very good, so they could not obey it
Those who came from Wei must have come from the sea and crossed the Bohai Sea into the Tang Kingdom.
"I, the Son of Heaven of the Ming Kingdom, have heard that the Tang Kingdom is prosperous in trade and has a strong military force, so I have come to carry out some cooperation with your Tang Kingdom, and I hope that our two countries can establish a good friendship."
In this troubled world, there are no eternal friends, so the friendship that Liu Bowen said is naturally short-lived, as long as the two countries have a conflict of interest, they will soon turn from friends to enemies.
But now, they have a common enemy, the Wei State, so they can still be friends.
Li Yu heard that Mingguo wanted to cooperate with their Tang Kingdom, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said, "Oh, I don't know what cooperation you Mingguo wants to cooperate with our Tang Kingdom?" Liu Bowen said: "We have the drunken dreams and deaths of your Tang Kingdom, soap and other commodities in the Ming Kingdom, but these commodities have changed hands several times before they were finally sold to our Ming Kingdom
Open a port in the Bohai Sea so that our two merchants can trade. "There is a bay in the Bohai Sea, which is relatively peaceful in all seasons, and there are few wind and waves, but it is a good place for a natural harbor, Li Yu listened, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
