Chapter 809 - Not for Sale
In this world, there will always be some buildings that make people feel awe-inspired.
For example, the Great Wall.
At this time, standing outside Chang'an City, the towers and city walls of Chang'an City made Song Jing feel awe.
Originally, he just wanted to buy a batch of Tang knives to go back, but after seeing Chang'an City, he had some ideas.
If the capital of their Zhou State is also so majestic, then their Zhou State will be invincible first.
As long as you are undefeated, everything has a chance.
Song Jing stood outside Chang'an City for a long time, and after a long time, he finally entered Chang'an City with his team.
And after entering Chang'an City, he was stunned again, because here, he not only saw the people of the Tang Kingdom, but also saw other different people, some of these people had high noses, some blue eyes, and some had curly hair.
They are all trading with the Tang people, and the prosperity here is simply not comparable to that of their Zhou capital.
Looking, watching, Song Jing's heart gradually felt some pressure.
Originally, they thought that their Zhou State had the ability to dominate the world, but now that the Tang State is so prosperous, if they want to dominate the world, their Zhou State is under great pressure.
Song Jing's heart was in turmoil, and he had never been so chaotic as he was now.
They stayed in a post house, and then sent someone to deliver a letter from their empress.
The Royal Palace, the Imperial Study.
Li Yu quickly read Zhou Guo's letter, and when he saw that Zhou Wumei sent Song Jing to buy Tang Dao, a sneer appeared on the corner of Li Yu's mouth, this is another big deal.
"Tell me to go down, tomorrow morning, and let the envoys of the Zhou State come to meet me."
The palace people quickly went down to make arrangements, and after Song Jing got the news, he also made some preparations.
The next day, Song Jing entered the palace early, but it was not until the Tang State had almost dealt with the affairs of their own country that Li Yu finally sent someone to let him go to court.
At this time, it was close to noon.
The hall is majestic and full of talents, after Song Jing came in, he saluted Li Yu, Li Yu nodded, "How many Tang knives does Lord Song want to buy?" ”
"Holy, the more the merrier."
"Your empress's appetite is not small, so how about selling you three thousand handles?"
Hearing the three thousand handles, Song Jing's expression moved slightly, and he said, "Holy Lord, can you have more?" ”
"The price of the Tang knife is not cheap, three thousand handles is already a lot."
Song Jing smiled bitterly, he knew that it was not easy to want more things like this, and moreover, it was too expensive, even if they were very rich in Zhou Guo, it was not realistic to want to get a lot.
Therefore, after Song Jing hesitated for a while, he accepted it.
After Song Jing accepted it, he said, "Shengshang, I heard that the capital of your Tang Kingdom is built with cement, I don't know if this cement can be sold to me in Zhou Kingdom?" ”
Hearing that Song Jing asked for cement, among the ministers of the court, someone suddenly let out a chuckle.
"Lord Song's appetite is really not small, he asked for a Tang knife, and he still wants our cement?"
"It's ridiculous, cement, we don't sell it."
“…………”
Tang Chen said, but Song Jing is not in a hurry, whether he sells or not, these ministers are not in charge, the key depends on Qin Tian, the corners of Qin Tian's mouth twitched slightly, if the capital of Zhou is also like Chang'an City, then it will not be easy to attack Zhou in the future.
Of course, if there is gunpowder, then let's talk about it, but now he doesn't have gunpowder, and he doesn't know when he will have it, so cement, naturally, can't be sold.
"Lord Song, what my Tang courtiers mean is what I mean, Tang Dao can be sold to you, but cement, no."
"Emperor Tang, the price is negotiable." Song Jing still didn't want to give up, but Li Yu had already waved his hand, "Retreat." ”
This matter is not negotiable.
Tang Dao is willing to sell because Li Yu wants to make money, and he also wants to raise a few enemies for other countries, cement, but it can't work.
The early dynasty retreated, Song Jing was very helpless, he knew very well that his intentions must have been seen by Li Yu and those ministers in the court, but they were willing to sell Tang knives, but they were willing to sell cement?
After leaving the palace, Song Jing did not leave in a hurry, but found the prime minister of the Tang Kingdom, Changsun Wuji.
"Lord Changsun is the prime minister of the Tang Kingdom, if you are willing to speak, I think the Tang Emperor will sell the cement to my Tang Kingdom, as long as this matter can be done, my Tang Kingdom will be grateful to the Lord of the Eldest Sun."
Song Jing's temptation is not small, but after hearing this, the eldest grandson Wuji only showed a faint smile, "Do many things in your Zhou Kingdom also do the same?" ”
When these words came out, Song Jing was stunned for a moment, and then his cheeks flushed, and he was a little embarrassed.
Obviously, the eldest grandson Wuji's words are ironic, if Zhou Guo does many things like this, then Zhou Guo is nothing more than this in the eyes of their Tang people.
"Lord Eldest Sun, I hope to help."
Although Song Jing felt a little embarrassed, he could only continue to say it with a cheeky face, for him, it doesn't matter if he wants to be embarrassed, it is true that he can buy cement.
It's just that the eldest grandson Wuji shook his head, "You are forcing the official to betray the country, I'm really embarrassed, no, come here, send off guests." ”
Eldest Sun Wuji is a smart person, he naturally wants the benefits in Song Jing's mouth, but this benefit is not easy to take, and the things decided by their Tang Emperor will never change, and if Li Yu knows that he has such a deal with Song Jing, then he won't think about it in the future.
The current Li Yu is no longer the Li Yu of the past, not to mention their eldest grandson's family, it is other families, Li Yu wants to move, it is just a matter of one sentence.
Whoever does not have long eyes will die.
Nowadays, the imperial power has expanded, and these powerful families can only be people with their tails between their legs.
Song Jing was invited out, and the refusal of the eldest grandson Wuji can be regarded as completely breaking Song Jing's thoughts, because if the eldest grandson Wuji does not agree, even if others agree, it will never succeed.
Therefore, Song Jing did not continue to look for people in the Tang Kingdom, and after getting three thousand Tang knives, he left Chang'an City directly, but what he thought in his heart was still the towering city wall.
He even felt that when he said these things after he returned to China, no one in the DPRK would believe them.
Song Jing left, he went to find the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Yu naturally knew, but seeing Li Yu leaving, Li Yu understood a little bit, the eldest grandson Wuji did not agree, he refused.
"This old fox is really a smart man."
Li Yu smiled, he did feel that the eldest grandson Wuji was a smart person, but such a smart person was also a kind of uneasiness for him, because the reason why such a person learned to be smart was because he knew what the situation was, and they chose to forbear.
But as long as the situation is in their favor, they may pounce on you at any time and bite you. The struggle between kings and ministers has always been like this.
