Chapter 412: The General Trend of the World
Zhao Guangyi's complexion did not change, but there were waves in his heart, this Du Dalei is not simple! It can be said that the judgment of today's situation is very accurate.
The judgment of the Great Song Dynasty on the situation in the south is exactly the same as Du Dalei's view, but this is based on obtaining a large amount of information, and then the top strategists and prime ministers of the Great Song Dynasty studied it together. Da Song has invested a lot of money and manpower.
But Du Dalei and a businessman have come to such an accurate conclusion, it seems that he and his brothers are not simple!
How did he know that Du Dalei and the others had all traveled over thousands of years and were familiar with history, so their judgment of the situation in the south was what really happened in history.
Zhao Guangyi pondered for a while, and then asked, "How do you judge the situation in the north of the Great Song Dynasty?" ”
Du Dalei replied: "Lord Fu Yin, the Khitan in the north is a strong enemy of the Great Song Dynasty. But now there is no major threat. At most, there will be some friction in the border area, or small-scale fighting, and there will be no major fighting. ”
"Why do you judge that? On what basis? ”
"Hehe, the current emperor of the Khitan is Yelu Jing, who is known as the 'Sleeping King'. He was extravagant, and spent his days either hunting or drunk. Ignore state affairs at all. The upper nobles of the Khitan were very dissatisfied with Yelujing, so there was no need to worry at all, the Khitan would have a large-scale war with the Great Song Dynasty. And according to reliable information, there is a high probability that there will be civil strife in the Khitan. Some of the Khitan nobles had long been dissatisfied with Yelujing, and they were ready to make a move, waiting for the right moment to overthrow Yelujing's rule and pull him down from the emperor's throne in one fell swoop. ”
Zhao Guangyi was surprised: "Where did you get such information?" Is it accurate? ”
Du Dalei said triumphantly: "We have opened many shops selling spirits in Khitan, and these information are all collected in Khitan, and they are absolutely accurate. ”
"Spirits?" Zhao Guangyi was puzzled, "What kind of wine is that?" ”
Du Dalei smiled: "Lord Fu Yin, we brought some spirits, and they are all in the carriage of the restaurant." If you're interested, send someone to get the carriage over. ”
Li Jilong whispered: "Uncle, this wine is very strong, if you have drunk it, you will definitely like it." ”
Zhao Guangyi snorted and said unhappily: "How old are you kid, it's really unreasonable to be so greedy." Now your father is far away in Zizhou, and your cousin is busy with affairs, so he has no time to take care of you. And you are so uneasy, this official must discipline you well for your father. ”
Li Jilong immediately deflated: "Uncle, please stop being angry, I don't dare anymore, I will definitely change my past mistakes in the future." ”
Du Dalei began to mend the knife: "Little Lizi, you unlucky child, it is indeed not worry-free." In the morning, I was watching a trick in Sangjiawazi, and you brought a bunch of dogs to grab my seat for no reason, what did you do it for? ”
Li Jilong looked at Zhao Guangyi, who was not good-looking, and lowered his head and stopped talking.
Zhao Guangyi instructed a servant: "You take a few people and go to Fengle Building to bring their carriages over." ”
The servant agreed to come down and went out.
Zhao Guangyi saw that Du Dalei was still chattering and teasing Li Jilong, so he coughed a few times.
"Cough, cough, Mr. Du, this official came to ask you, what do you think of the Northern Han Dynasty?"
Du Dalei laughed secretly in his heart, Zhao Guangyi actually called himself 'Mr. Du'. It seems that Lao Tzu has achieved an effect.
Du Dalei said with a smile: "Lord Fu Yin, the Northern Han Dynasty is weak, so there is no need to be afraid at all. The only thing to note is that the Northern Han will surrender to the Khitan, just like Shi Jingtang, and contribute the land of our Han people to the Khitan free of charge. ”
Zhao Guangyi nodded: "What you said is very reasonable, this must be guarded against!" Ever since Shi Jingtang ceded the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun to the Khitan, we have been under the threat of the Khitan Iron Cavalry. Starting from Youzhou in the Khitan, the Khitan cavalry could reach the outside of Bianliang City in three days. My royal brother has always been obsessed with this matter! Mr. Du, do you have any solutions? ”
Du Dalei smiled: "Lord Fu Yin, if the Great Song Dynasty wants to recapture the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, it is necessary to strengthen the combat effectiveness of the forbidden army. For example, the forbidden army was well equipped with armor, sharp swords, and powerful bows and crossbows. We can provide all of these to Da Song, as long as you prepare money, or exchange raw materials and materials, we will accept them all! ”
Zhao Guangyi was very shocked, but at the same time he was very puzzled, is this Du Dalei talking big? He, a lowly businessman, was ashamed to provide weapons to the forbidden army of the Great Song Dynasty? Is this possible?
When Du Dalei saw Zhao Guangyi's look of disbelieving, he knew what he thought.
"Lord Fu Yin, if you don't believe it, just wait a little longer. Monk Taiqin will bring all the weapons we brought, and then you will know after you try it. ”
Zhao Guangyi saw that Du Dalei was so determined, and he still had some doubts in his heart.
"Mr. Du, if what you said is true, where did you get these ordnance?"
Du Dalei smiled: "There is no comment on this, let's wait until you have tried, and then we will discuss it specifically." ”
After a while, a servant walked in with a jar of wine.
"Lord Fu Yin, we have brought back all the carriages, and this is the wine jar placed in the carriage.
Zhao Guangyi motioned for the official to open it, and the official put the wine jar on top of Zhao Guangyi's bookcase, and then opened the seal.
Suddenly, a strong aroma of wine wafted out.
Zhao Guangyi sniffed and immediately said in surprise:
"I've seen this kind of wine before, just last year, it was a good bottle of wine from Wu Yueguo. The bottle looked crystal clear, and the bottle was carved from 10,000-year-old crystal. It is said that the bottle is worth 100,000 yuan! ”
Du Dalei was stunned, didn't we bring that bottle of wine from the afterlife? How did it get into the hands of Zhao Guangyi?
Zhao Guangyi continued: "After my imperial brother got this bottle of wine, he immediately opened it, and then together with this official and Brother Zeping, he drank this bottle of good wine worth 100,000 yuan at one time. The official smelled the same as the bottle of liquor, Mr. Du, where did you get these spirits? ”
Du Dalei said helplessly: "Don't hide it from Lord Yin, the bottle of wine you drank last year is ours." ”
"Yours? Really? ”
"We brought back that bottle of wine from the West, just two bottles in total. One of the bottles, we sold at auction for a sky-high price of 100,000 yuan. And another bottle of wine, we dedicated it to Qian Hongyi, the Mingzhou Thorn Shi of Wu Yueguo. It is estimated that Qian Hongyi gave this bottle of wine to the lord of Wu Yue Kingdom. Then he will give this bottle of wine to your official family. ”
Zhao Guangyi suddenly realized: "It turns out that the wine is yours!" No wonder the taste of this jar of wine is exactly the same as that bottle of sky-high wine. Mr. Du, did you ship this wine from the West? ”
"Hehe, we made this wine ourselves."
"What did you do? Where did you do it? Is it hard? ”
"We have a workshop in Minnesota where this spirit comes from. As for the process of making sake, there is no comment. ”
Zhao Guangyi nodded, this is also normal, people will not easily confide in the production process of wine, that is people's rice bowl.
At this time, there was a commotion outside, and He Tuiguan and Taiqin walked in one after another.
He Tuiguan looked happy: "My lord, everything is done." The lower officials brought all the ordnance they had hidden from that village. What do you think should be done? ”
Zhao Guangyi glanced at Du Dalei, and Du Dalei shrugged:
"I don't care, anyway, these weapons are for you to try. Just watch and see. ”
Zhao Guangyi said to He Tuiguan: "You work hard, find a spacious yard." Then move all these ordnance over. We're going to test it overnight, and if these ordnance are really good, I'll go into the palace early tomorrow morning and report to the officials." ”
He Tuiguan agreed and left in a hurry.
Taichin walked over to the bookcase, grabbed a bowl of spirits to himself, and drank it all in one gulp.
Zhao Guangyi couldn't help but smack his tongue, this monk is too good at drinking!
Last year, when I was in the palace, I drank a little bit, and I felt a splitting headache, and I didn't get relieved for a few days.
Taiqin said to Zhao Guangyi: "Lord Fu Yin, the Sprinkle family has been running around for a few hours, and they haven't eaten yet. Shouldn't you get some meat? ”
Zhao Guangyi was puzzled: "The master still eats wine and meat?" I'll send someone to fetch it. ”
He winked at one of the officials, and the officials were ordered to go out.
Du Dalei said with a smile: "You don't know, Taiqin is a wine and meat monk. He can eat and drink, and on the way we came, I always entertained him with good wine and meat, and almost ate Lao Tzu poor! ”
Tai Qin shook his head: "Lord Du, how much does the Sprinkle family eat every day?" Do you still care about this money? ”
Du Dalei said: "Hehe, I don't care about this money, but I just feel a little unhappy." ”
Soon, the official brought a pot of roast goose. Taichen didn't use chopsticks, but grabbed a piece of goose meat with his hands, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it.
Du Dalei did not show weakness, grabbed the goose meat and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Well, well, you leave some for Lao Tzu, don't eat them all."
Li Jilong swallowed his saliva when he saw the sweetness of the two of them.
Zhao Guangyi snorted: "You kid should also go eat something, so as not to let outsiders know that the official abused the son of the deceased." ”
Li Jilong smiled shyly and also joined the battle for goose meat. But he only ate meat, and didn't dare to touch the spirits.
But Du Dalei and Taiqin were not polite, drinking and eating meat. Soon the three of them had eaten up a pot of goose meat.
At this time, He Tuiguan walked in and said, "My lord, everything is ready, please move." ”
