Chapter Seventy-Seven: Envoys from Neighboring Countries
A few days later, according to Lin Yi's arrangement, the auction of his so-called exotic treasures officially began. The venue was chosen on the second floor of the 'Jade Huchun' restaurant not far from the Xuanfu Embassy.
According to Lin Yi's report, through the extensive publicity in the past few days, dozens of wealthy businessmen from Yunnan and surrounding areas have been effectively attracted to participate in this auction, and even Zheng Quan, the richest man in the Shanxian Mansion of Ningguo, has rushed to Ningzhou to prepare to participate in this auction.
This guy was originally a hereditary aristocrat of Nanzhao for hundreds of years, and he relied on the power and shadow of his ancestors to accumulate a lot of wealth.
In Dayining, except for King Yang Ganzhen, he is currently the richest.
With the participation of this heavyweight, the gold content of this auction has been virtually increased, and the popularity of the auction has risen sharply.
Although due to the long distance, many wealthy businessmen may not be able to catch up even if they get the news, but there are many wealthy businessmen around Yunnan alone.
The auction was held at the right moment today, and each participant had to pay a deposit of five hundred taels of silver.
This is not only a threshold for entry, but also a criterion for demonstrating personal strength.
Although silver was not yet used as a currency in circulation in this era, it was a genuine hard currency, and most importantly, it was easy to carry.
Up to now, more than 30 wealthy businessmen have signed up to participate.
Judging from the number of applicants alone, there are a lot of rich people in this part of Yunnan!
The auction is now less than two hours away.
Li Yi is busy with various official affairs and has to arrange other affairs today, especially the permanent resettlement of the disaster victims, which has been bothering him, and there is still no concrete good solution.
Although the resettlement site has been clarified, how can it be planned thoroughly? How does this work?
and the source of planning funds, etc., have not yet been implemented, and thinking of these is one head and two big.
While Li Yi was thinking about it, He Shoujie came in a hurry and brought him unexpected news.
This so-called unexpected news is that Dayi Ningguo has also sent an embassy to donate 10,000 stone of grain, 500 pieces of cloth and 5,000 catties of salt to Yunnan.
And what is even more surprising is that the messenger who is the leader is Xun Zaro, who was accidentally captured by us when he was the king of Hesun Decheng.
Li Yi couldn't help but feel a little funny when he heard it, this is really interesting!
Just sent away the envoy from Tonghai, Dayi Ningguo couldn't wait to send the envoy, and also sent so many food and materials.
The grain alone is 7,000 stone more than the one sent by Tonghai, is this not clear that it is pressing on the end of Tonghai, and at the same time co-opting and corroding us?
But such a selfless gift is as much as possible, and I will not refuse it.
But! As the saying goes, 'the agency is too clever to calculate and mistake Qingqing's life'.
No matter how hard the Great Yi Ning Kingdom struggled, it couldn't escape the fate of its demise two years later.
As a bystander, Yunnan will only sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and will not intervene in the foot.
Fighting against either side is not something that the weak Yunnan can afford.
If you want to make this benefit and pull Yunnan into right and wrong, I won't be so stupid!
Li Yi has already made up his mind that he will eat all and not offend each other, so he will not be stupid enough to support either side!
Li Yi immediately ordered to send someone to quickly inform Lian Yong, the sentinel of the Songyang outpost, that he would welcome the envoy of the Great Yi Ningguo in the most solemn way.
Then let Jian Zheng, who was the commander of the horse infantry army, lead a team of brightly armored cavalry out of the city to greet him.
Moreover, the specifications of this greeting must not be lower than that of Tonghai, and of course it cannot be too ostentatious, so as not to cause misunderstanding in Tonghai.
After waiting for more than an hour, the delegation of the Great Righteous Ningguo slowly came to Ningzhou.
It seems that they did carry a lot of supplies, which more or less slowed down their marching speed.
I saw the thin and obscene Xun Zaluo outside the mansion again, but I didn't expect him to have a deep impression of Li Yi.
As soon as he saw Li Yi, he smiled and said: "Li Dashuai, we met again this time, we really haven't seen each other for a day, like every other three autumns!" Hehe! The handsome demeanor is still the same, so that I miss it very much! ”
"Huh! Although it is just a two-sided relationship, but looking for someone to see the handsome person feels very cordial, so our fate is really not shallow! ”
Li Yi laughed, pretending to be apologetic and said: "Lord Cishuang smiled, last time because we didn't know what was going on, we misunderstood Lord Cishuang, and caused undue trouble to Lord Cishuang, I'm really sorry." ”
Li has always felt guilty about this, but he didn't expect the adults to come to Yunnan to give assistance regardless of their previous suspicions. I don't even know how to express my gratitude to your country and your lordship. ”
Naxunzaro smiled and said, "Hey! Don't blame those who don't know! Master Li is kind-hearted, and he can accept tens of thousands of hungry people without fear of hardships, which is in line with the true meaning of Buddhism to benefit all people, and he really understands the righteousness and has a good reputation! ”
"His Royal Highness, the son of our family, after learning about the incident in Yunnan, immediately instructed us to urgently mobilize money, food and materials to rush to Yunnan as quickly as possible."
"There can't be a moment of delay, and it must be handed over to the marshal in time to relieve Yunnan's temporary difficulties."
"We are a nation of brothers and good neighbors, and what is this help? Ha ha! ”
Li Yi cordially held Xun Zaluo's hand, hugged him and walked towards the mansion, and said with a spring breeze on his face: "His Royal Highness the Prince of your country is sitting in the Shanxian Mansion in Tokyo, which is so close to our Yunnan Province, and Li has not been able to visit him in person since he took office, which is really ashamed!" ”
"Huh! When Yunnan settles down, I will definitely go to Shanxian Mansion to pay homage to His Royal Highness, and by the way, I will see the weather of your country, and I will be able to relieve my suffering from missing each other day and night! ”
As he spoke, he sat down in the chamber.
That Xun Zaluo is no longer the pitiful and obscene appearance before, this time he came under the banner of the envoy of the Great Righteous Ning Kingdom, and he has some vigor.
He said happily: "Along the way, although the distance is not too far, I have also seen the weather in Yunnan. ”
"Since Li Dashuai is in charge of Yunnan, there are some new ideas in all aspects of Yunnan, revealing a unique atmosphere everywhere, which is really different!"
Li Yi was secretly amused, how could there be any obvious changes in such a short period of time, and what was new could be seen from there!
Isn't this talking nonsense with your eyes open!
Li Yi was about to pretend to be humble and say a few words, but he didn't expect that Xun Zaluo continued: "Looking for someone to revisit the old place in such a short time, but I found that your country has changed really much. ”
"Especially near the border between your and our countries, it seems that a lot of construction has been going on recently, and I don't know what I'm doing."
"Although Yunnan is currently facing a difficult situation, it does not mean to stop for a moment, I think it is a very important project in your country, right?"
Li Yi was slightly surprised, but he didn't expect this burying guy to still have some vision, and he actually saw the flaw in this.
Although Binh Duong Pass was carried out under the banner of building a temple, it was more or less different from a temple.
Now it seems that there are not a few secret agents in Yunnan, so how can such a big project hide from the other party's full-time spy personnel?
Now I am afraid that the catty in this is also seen by others, if it is accused and opposed by the Great Yi Ningguo, and even sends troops to attack in a fit of anger, then all the previous efforts are not in vain?
