The next day, early in the morning.
Song Qi personally sent the canonization edict of Nanguo to the Nanguo Post House.
canonized Yi Xi, the lord of the southern country, as the king of the southern county, and the generalissimo of the southern army; Canonized the envoy of the southern kingdom, Hailina, as the lady of the southern kingdom......
Zhao Guangyi showed great generosity this time, not only canonized the lord of the southern country, but also canonized the concubines and sons of the lord of the southern country.
After reading the edict of canonization, Song Qi handed the letter of state delivered by the Great Song Dynasty to the south of the country to Hailina together.
Moreover, Song Qi and Hailina discussed the specific details of the grain delivery to the Great Song Dynasty.
Hailina invited Song Qi to sit down, made tea herself, and handed it to Song Qi.
"The technique of cooking tea by the sea envoy is quite ...... of the three flavors of the Southern Tang Dynasty tea ceremony"
Song Qi picked up the teacup and took a sip, his eyes lit up, and he praised it.
There was a sincere smile on the old face in the sea, "Xiangye praised it, when the old man was young, he traveled in your country and stayed in Jinling for a few years, and he had a little knowledge of the tea ceremony. The old body has only learned some fur, and compared with the tea ceremony in your country, it is really difficult to get into the elegant hall. β
"Hahaha......" Song Qi smiled heartily and said softly: "The sea envoy is humble, and the old man is also involved in the tea ceremony, but compared to the sea envoy, it is slightly insufficient. β
"Thank you for the compliment."
Song Qi said while sipping tea: "Sea envoy, yesterday's words to my privy envoy Cao Bin were inevitably a little excessive, and if you offend, I still hope for Haihan." β
At the mention of Cao Bin, Hai Li seemed to think of something uncomfortable, his face was a little angry, and the hand holding the teacup trembled slightly.
"Your country is a heavenly state, and it is inevitable to be overbearing when you speak, and the old body can understand it."
Song Qi was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "The generals of my dynasty are all barbarians who don't know etiquette, and the sea envoys don't have to mind." Regarding the issue of your country's delivery of grain to the Great Song Dynasty, if the envoys have any requirements, they can not be counted at all, as for what Cao Bin said in the court. β
Haili's face softened a little, nodded in a deep voice, and said, "When our country is first established, it will take some time to raise 10 million loads of food. It is inconvenient to transport on land, so I hope that your country can build two wharves on the southwest coast and two on the southeast coast. We will also build two docks in the corresponding two places.
Two piers, two copies. Our country's grain is transported nearby, and the efficiency can be relatively fast. And if your country receives grain on two docks, it can also be transported nearby and spread to the whole country, which can also reduce some trouble. β
Song Qi stroked his beard and nodded, "What the sea envoy said is very true. β
Hailina said: "It's just that our country's ships are limited, and my country's manpower to transport grain can be provided, but the ships needed to transport grain still hope that your country will provide them." β
When Song Qi heard this, his big sleeves fluttered, and he said happily: "The old man has discussed this matter with His Majesty, and the ship is not a problem, but I am afraid that your country will not be able to take out so much grain." β
The corners of Haili's mouth were bitter, and he said: "The grain promised to your country will naturally not be missing a grain." But 10 million quintals of grain is not a small amount. The old body wants to be transported in batches, preferably in three parts. β
Song Qi groaned a little, nodded and agreed.
The issue of food was agreed, and both Song Qi and Hai Li breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.
The two talked for a long time, and they talked freely.
Before leaving, Song Qi also invited Hailina to stay in Bianjing for a long time.
After Song Qi left, Hailina took the canonization edict to the back hall of the post house, Peng Pai came out of a room in the back hall and asked, "Old lady, how are things discussed?" β
Haili shook the edict in his hand, and said with a smile: "Unexpectedly smooth......"
Peng Pai grinned and said: "What the adults said is true, any difficulties, after donating 10 million loads of food, will come to naught." Rao is the wisdom of the princes of the Manchu Dynasty, and he did not see our true purpose.
Giving food is fake, opening the gate of the Great Song Dynasty and dredging the trade road is real.
Since the people of the Great Song Dynasty settled in the south, the current situation of slash-and-burn farming in the south is also improving. The intensive cultivation of the people of the Great Song Dynasty and the complete farming tools of the Great Song Dynasty all entered the homes of the people in the south.
The grain in our southern country will increase exponentially.
At present, the population of our southern country has decreased sharply, and there is so much grain that it cannot be eaten, and it is piled up in the warehouse to become moldy, so it is better to sell it to the Great Song Dynasty. β
Haili glared at Peng Pai, and said angrily: "Open your mouth to open an adult, close your mouth to an adult's ......"
Haili shook the canonization edict in his hand, "Now you should call your lord the king of Nanguo...... An adult is a person who takes one step and sees three steps, takes precautions, and has excellent means. There is no point in us speculating here. Just do what the adults tell you to do. β
Peng Pai took the canonization edict in Haili's hand, put it into a box in the house, and rolled his eyes.
"You don't call adults adults yet."
Haili's glare, "Eventful...... The old body calls the adult an adult, which is to appear close...... What are you still doing here, have you completed the two things that the adults have entrusted you? β
Peng Pai smiled brightly and took out a wine jar from the house, "I'll go now." β
Peng Pai changed his clothes, changed his outfit, and immediately changed from an envoy to a rich young master.
He walked out of the inn through the back door, avoiding some spies.
After walking in Bianjing City for a full hour, I arrived in front of a mansion.
The area of the mansion is not large, a house with one entry and one exit, and the door looks very deserted.
The plaque hanging on the lintel was crooked, and no one cared about it.
Peng Pai tilted his head, carefully confirmed that the two words written on the plaque were 'Su Fu', and then entered the house with the wine jar.
As soon as I entered the door, I smelled a rich aroma of wine.
When I looked at the smell of wine, I saw a man, dressed in dirty and dirty clothes, lying on the ground on all fours, and at his feet and sides, and throwing some empty wine jars.
"Alcoholics...... This must be the Su drunkard in the mouth of adults, there is no doubt about it. β
Looking at Su Yijian's sleeping Zhengxiang, and occasionally humming twice, Peng Pai had bad thoughts.
After looking around, he found a pile of hay in the corner of the wall, and Peng Pai took one out of it, squatted down, and stabbed Su Yijian's nostrils.
Su Yijian slept in a daze, felt that his nose was extremely itchy, and patted it with his hand several times, but it always lingered.
Someone must be playing a prank!
Su Yijian sat up and shouted irritably, "Who is teasing this official?" β
When Su Yijian opened his eyes, he saw a richly dressed rich man, squatting in front of him, staring at him with a smile.
Su Yijian got up from the ground and stared at Peng Pai vigilantly.
"Who are you?"
Peng Pai hugged the wine jar and said with a smile: "Old man! β
