Chapter 102 Foresight has Jin Qing

The Liuqiu convoy was almost like an autumn wind sweeping away the leaves of the Goryeo people in Tamna, and in less than ten days, the last of those who tried to resist were also cleared.

After identification, all the Koreans were caught on the Sanyuan ship that came later, the Sanyuan ship was an expedition commercial transport dual-purpose ship, although there were not many people, but the Koreans were also very able to endure hardships, and it was not a problem to stuff a 300 number on a ship.

The three-distance ship still ran into trouble when it returned, because the distance was not too far, so the three-distance ship did not have to be replenished by the hanging island, but sailed directly to freshwater. But after sailing for three days, the "Zhangyu" in the three distant ships drifted away from the original channel and struggled in the wind and waves for five days and five nights. The "Zhangyu" ran aground, the bottom of the ship was seriously damaged, and it was obvious that it could no longer be used, so they had to lead hundreds of Koreans to abandon the ship and go ashore. In the past, there were always Liuqiu merchant ships from the Wa Kingdom to Tamsui passing by, so Ruan Ruolang of the third phase of Yixue on the Zhangyu and the captain discussed, and led dozens of sailors and 300 Koreans on the ship to live here temporarily, waiting for the Liuqiu merchant ship to come.

The Koreans ate a few full meals, and from time to time found two pieces of salted meat in the dishes, and had long forgotten that they were prisoners, and they wanted to have their own set of rules to deal with these people, that is, the Red Jacket Army was so unruly, the officials of the Jin State were so pretentious, and when they got fresh water, they were also kneaded to be round and round, not to mention these Koreans who were used to living a hard life.

The king of the Zhongshan Kingdom, whose surname was Shang, heard that a large ship had run aground on his island, and he was very happy to bring people to pick it up, but he was met by the sailors of the heavily armed "Zhangyu". This Shang Wang was a little knowledgeable, and immediately changed his mind and sent an interpreter to greet and negotiate. This side is not very self-conscious, but it is said that it is from the stream, because the ship is stranded, so temporarily borrowed on the island for a period of time, if the king is willing and convenient, there will be a recompense in the future.

As for what will happen if King Shang refuses to be convenient, both sides know it. King Shang thought in his heart, with the power of his Zhongshan Kingdom, it would be no problem to eat these hundreds of people, but his own losses would also be great, and he would cheapen the Nanshan Kingdom and the Beishan Kingdom for nothing. Moreover, in the past few years, he also learned from the past Liuqiu merchant ships that now some people are in Liuqiu to build a city and expand the land, and he has also witnessed the greatness of the Liuqiu merchant ships, and he has a longing heart in his heart. Therefore, he immediately greeted him with a smile and inevitably sent meat and wine. It's just that although this Shang King is called the king of the land, he is actually extremely poor, and he can't afford to be a rich man in the Great Song Dynasty, who supplies these more than 300 people with wine and food every day, and gradually becomes a little strained.

He looked forward to it day and night, and finally fifteen days after the Zhangyu ran aground, he saw a large merchant ship carrying goods from the Japanese Kingdom to Tamsui. The ship was not originally anchored in Zhongshan Country, but when it saw the fire lit on the island and the stranded "Zhangyu", it came ashore.

Ruan Ruolang was only seventeen years old after all, and when he saw his own people, he couldn't help crying with joy.

The merchant ship was carrying a lot of goods, but it could not transport everyone away, Ruan Ruolang had a lot of prestige among the people these days, thinking about what Da Lang had taught, he knew that he could not return to the flow at this time, so he stayed with a few Yixue five or six to take care of the Koreans, and the rest of the sailors returned to Tamsui first. The captain of the merchant ship made his own decisions, and disembarked some goods and food from the ship, and handed over the goods to King Shangwang of Zhongshan as a thank you gift for his shelter, and the food was left for the purpose of wrapping his stomach. The king of Nashan had received a lot of goods, and he was already so happy that he wished that every day there would be a stream of begging for the ship to run aground on his island.

About ten days after the merchant ships returned to the port, two large ships came by themselves, and Zhongshan was so small that there was not even a decent port, so the two big ships had to stop outside the port and use small sampans to pick up and drop off people repeatedly. They also brought gifts for the king of Zhongshan, who had been so happy to see the quarter of an hour, the mirror, and the silk, and that the sailors and the guards were shrewd and strong, and that he was secretly glad that he had not made a wrong decision.

These days, he also knew that although Ruan Ruolang was young, he had a high status among this group of seekers, so his heart moved, and he came up with an interpreter and said: "Mr. Ruan, Xiao Wang is eager to go to the kingdom, can he send an envoy to your state to pay tribute?" ”

This matter was asked abruptly, but it was not Ruan Ruolang's master, he was surprised for a while, and then he was a little happy: "This matter is not up to me, but your king is sincere, and he will not refuse if he wants to come to my master, and your king will send a messenger to accompany us and wait for my master to receive him." ”

Although the interpreter said that he understood the Song language, it was still a little difficult to translate Ruan Ruolang's words, at least the "master" he didn't know how to explain to King Shang, so he directly said that it was "King Liuqiu", and King Zhongshan and Ruan Ruolang didn't know the ingenuity.

After returning to the court, Yang Miaozhen, who can be the master, is still in the future, and Fang Youcai heard that there are foreign Yi coming to the court, and he has long been so happy that his face is full of chrysanthemum patterns, and his eyes can't find it. He also knew that Zhao Heju had become the heir of King Yi, and as the housekeeper of the palace, he should naturally be an official of good rank, and he had already prepared a set of green robes and long-winged Wusha for his family, and he was not less beautiful in the mirror on weekdays. However, in Tamsui, everyone knows the roots, and the old acquaintances call him Steward Fang better, and if it is not good, he directly calls him Carpenter Fang, this official robe, but he doesn't dare to wear it out for people to see.

After another ten days, Yang Miaozhen and Li Ye returned to Tamsui, and they also encountered wind and waves along the way, but their luck was better, and they avoided the hanging island for three days, and then set off again after the wind and waves. Hearing that there was a foreign country coming to the court, Yang Miaozhen was also very surprised, fortunately, Meng Xisheng walked with her to Tamsui this time, Yang Miaozhen thought of the words that Zhao Heju had instructed "If you don't decide on foreign affairs, ask Bohan about internal affairs", so she asked Meng Xisheng: "Interrogation, do you want to see this messenger of the King of Zhongshan?" ”

"Naturally, I want to see, the location of Zhongshan is between my Liuqiu and the Wa Kingdom, and it is a place where our merchant ships must pass, so we must not be uneasy and soothed." Meng Xisheng pondered for a while, and then said with a smile: "Fanguo is from afar, you must show his authority, and the fourth lady can see him in the Tamsui Palace." ”

The so-called Tamsui Palace is actually the piece of building with some European style where Yang Miaozhen lives, Duncan is a half-hung architect after all, and the main hall built according to the appearance of the church in his memory can also be used as a meeting place. Because this is the residence prepared for Zhao and Ju and Yang Miaozhen, and now Zhao and Ju are the heirs of King Yi, so they are called Tamsui Palace by everyone.

The king of Zhongshan sent a relative of his own house, who lived in Tamsui these days, and was already shocked into a fairyland. I was taken to the Tamsui Palace, and when I saw the high walls painted white on both sides, the stone pillars supporting the hall, and the smooth and delicate cement on the ground, I felt that the strength of the country was far beyond the reach of Zhongshan.

Still far away, he saw a woman sitting opposite the main hall, he was stunned, thinking that this freshwater was the queen's government, so he knelt down and saluted: "The envoy from a distant country pays a visit to Her Majesty the Queen of Liuqiu." ”

The interpreter translated out his words, Yang Miaozhen was stunned at first, and then smiled: "He actually regarded me as a queen, I just sat here, and I didn't look like a queen, but your master, when he was eight or nine years old, he had the spirit of a prince." ”

Meng Xisheng secretly smiled bitterly, originally he moved Yang Miaozhen out to scare the envoy of the country, but Yang Miaozhen had a straightforward temper, and he couldn't do such a pretentious thing, so he revealed his stuffing as soon as he opened his mouth. He glanced at the interpreter, and saw that the interpreter also looked a little strange, and was about to open his mouth to translate, when he coughed: "This sentence doesn't need to be translated." ”

He sat on the left side of Yang Miaozhen, although he was wearing ordinary clothes, but the interpreter was also clever, and he naturally knew that the person sitting in this position must be in a high position, and the words of the "queen" were really a little difficult to translate, so he shut up.

"Your and my two countries are not far apart, but there have always been few contacts, since your envoy is coming, please rest in the pavilion, from tomorrow, I will accompany your envoy to inspect our country." Meng Xisheng felt that if he let Yang Miaozhen speak again, he was afraid that he would make things even more messy, so he simply spoke himself, and then said to the translator: "Tell him what I said." ”

The interpreter was full of suspicion, and begged the queen to be silent, but let this minister of about twenty years old speak. His eyes were tilted to the right, and Fang Youcai, who was dressed in a green robe and black gauze, sat upright, and his face was like the word "Hui", which looked like a big country official. It's just that this old official, but his eyes are straight, and he never looks at his house, and the interpreter sighs secretly in his heart, he is worthy of being an important minister of the kingdom, even if he is in a daze, he is different.

When the envoy of the King of Zhongshan heard this, his heart was very happy, although he could walk around these days, he was wandering around the streets, but he could not go deep into all places. If the minister really accompanies him to inspect, he will be able to better observe the truth of this liuqiu, and after he goes back, he will be able to explain to the king of Zhongshan, and he will show that he is quite talented.

After sending the envoy and the interpreter out, Meng Xisheng complained: "Fourth lady, how do you talk nonsense, if you are underestimated by the envoy of Zhongshan Kingdom, you will lose the face of the master!" ”

"Hmph, I'm not like you, I learned from your master that my stomach is crooked, and I'm not like Sister Ayu, who knows how to look at words and take care of people." Han Miaozhen pouted: "I'm a straight person, I can say whatever I want, besides, the Zhongshan Country is just a small land, if you underestimate us, you can convince him, and I don't feel like it's fun in Tamluo!" ”

Yelu Chucai, who was sitting in this palace with Chen Zicheng, could only smile bitterly, and he muttered a little in his heart, after all, this fourth lady got up recklessly, and he was really not a good match for the island owner.

But he only dared to put this thought in his heart, in the past two years, the more he was responsible and reused by Chen Zicheng, the more he felt that the island owner was unfathomable. After all, he is talented and intelligent, so he has entered the high-level of Liuqiu, and he knows the important secret of Zhao and Ju's identity, so he is faintly a little excited, with his understanding of the Great Song Dynasty, like Zhao and Ju, the clan was elected as the emperor's nephew, and there is another time in history, that is, Song Gaozong Zhao Gou chose to establish filial piety. If this is the case, then this island owner is very likely to become the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty.

For Yelu Chucai, playing for the Jin State and serving the Song State are the same thing, and he is neither a Jurchen nor a Han Chinese. But Zhao and Ju know his talent, and seem to appreciate him very much, only three or four years after coming to Tamsui, he is in a high position, to have a seat in this hall, and there are always like-minded young people who are willing to learn, he really feels that he is happy here, so he also has loyalty to Zhao and Ju.

"Han Fan, tomorrow you will pull out the most elite guards, and you will have bright armor, and I will take the envoy of the Zhongshan Kingdom to watch the drill, which is called showing his authority." Meng Xisheng said to Li Ye.

Li Ye was stunned, tilted his head and said: "You Meng Xianyan has always been a non-profiteer, so do you want to fight the idea of Zhongshan again?" ”

"That's natural, but Zhongshan is not like Tamna, although it is easy to occupy it, it is not profitable, it is better to make it subdued for drive." Meng Xisheng said calmly: "Now I have an idea, it is a huge deal, but I can't report it to the officials, so I can only talk about it with everyone first." ”

Yelu Chucai smiled bitterly again, before he came to Liuqiu, he met Meng Xisheng on the hanging island, and he talked very happily at that time, moved by what he saw and heard about the study of mathematics, but he felt that he almost had to do with Shang Jia in everything. Although Yelu Chucai is considered to be extraordinary, in this situation, he always has some contempt for Shangjia. It wasn't until he arrived in Tamsui to help Chen Zicheng set up a Tamsui Bank, that he had to deal with Ah Duwu, after all, it was related to the national economy and people's livelihood, and he was guided by Chen Zicheng, which greatly changed the affairs of businessmen. However, I still can't stand Meng Xisheng's business and closed business.

"Zhongshan is very close to us, and the country is weak and weak, it lives between us and the Wa State, the official once said that the native barbarians should be educated, I thought about taking the Zhongshan State as an example, if we can educate the Zhongshan State, whether we go south to educate Luzon or go north to educate the Wa State, it is very easy." Meng Xisheng said solemnly: "Although I am good at talking about profits, but for the sake of streamers and officials, the benefits of money are only in front of them, and all countries return to their hearts, which is the benefit of thousands of years." ”

"What do you mean?" Yang Miaozhen raised her eyebrows, listened to Meng Xi's voice for a long time, and she didn't say how to do it, she was a little impatient: "Just say how to do it!" ”

"I just have an idea, how to do it, it's not clear yet, we still need to discuss it...... By the way, Brother Jin Qing, you have read history books, do you have a good plan? Meng Xisheng threw the burden to Yelu Chucai.

"First, the book is the same text, the car is on the same track, this should be Bohan's business." Yelu Chucai is also not polite, he is only in his early thirties now, and he is at a time when his dedication is heavy, and he has been in Liuqiu for a long time, so he knows that it is hypocritical to be too humble here: "Second, the goods are the same currency, and the goods are the same weight, this is my business." ”

Meng Xisheng nodded, he pushed the matter to Yelu Chucai, it didn't mean that he didn't have ideas in his heart, what Yelu Chucai said was not much different from what he thought.

"Also, let Zhongshan send his son as a hostage, just say that he will come to me to study, and send the officers of the escort team to Zhongshan to train soldiers for him." Li Yunrui, who has been silent, said.

"Good plan, in this way, ten years later, the hearts of the people of Zhongshan will flow to me!" Yelu Chucai stroked his palms and praised.

Until everyone dispersed, Fang Youcai still didn't say a word like a clay tire and a wood plastic, everyone felt strange, although the righteous young man didn't like him very much, but the official had not removed his position, he was still the nominal butler of Tamsui, someone pushed him, and he woke up: "Go...... Let's go? The envoy of that country is gone? Am I not like a minister of God? ”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they all burst into laughter.
