Chapter 487: Uncle Zhao with a black belly
As the prince's teacher, Wang Ningan is not just playing with children, autumn will pass soon, and there is still a month, which is Queen Cao's birthday. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Wang Ningan reminded the little prince to prepare a gift for his mother.
The little prince still didn't understand the meaning of the gift, but Gouya'er understood, he told the little prince that he wanted to write a poem, or fill in the lyrics, to celebrate his mother's birthday, in the last year, Gouya'er did this, Yang Xi was happy for a month.
The little prince was worried, he memorized very poorly, and he couldn't write poems, so anxious that big tears fell.
Wang Ningan smiled slightly, "Your Highness, gifts are precious in your heart, poems certainly represent good wishes, and intimate gifts, especially those made by yourself, are even more precious." Your Highness, think about it and you'll find the right gift. ”
The little prince thought for a long time, took out a gnatwood cage from his arms, and moved two jars of crickets from the room.
It's his favorite baby, and he looks at it every day before he goes to bed.
"Your Highness, are you willing to give this to the Queen Mother?"
The little prince hesitated for a long time before nodding vigorously.
"But the queen mother is not a child, she can't play like Her Royal Highness, and there is a huge palace to govern, and there is no time to raise it, so what should I do?"
The little prince was even more distressed, frowned, and whispered for a long time: "Sir, sir help me." ”
"Okay, sir help you figure it out!"
Wang Ningan smiled and said: "Your Highness, let's go and sell the crickets, as long as we get the money, we can prepare gifts for the queen mother." ”
The little prince nodded obediently.
Wang Ning'an took the little prince and his two sons to the street not far from the forbidden army camp, where there were dozens of shops selling all kinds of goods, as well as pawnshops and money houses.
These shops are all specially prepared for the little prince.
It's not that Wang Ningan has the intention to cheat, it's really that the prince is only five years old, and Zhao Zhen was assassinated again before, so he has to be careful. Although it is specially arranged, the requirements are extremely strict, and it is not allowed to be too thick for the prince, so he is treated as an ordinary person.
The little guy sat down in the lively street with two jars of crickets and gnats, and the dogtooth was very impatient, but at the moment he was honestly with the little prince, and he found that the little prince's hand had been clenched tightly, and he did not know what to do.
The two little guys sat for half an hour, Wang Ningan was staring at the tea stall opposite, the little ones would look at him from time to time, Wang Ningan smiled in return, encouraging them to persevere.
Finally, someone came, he looked at it for a long time, and only said that the crickets and gnats were not very good, but the cricket jars and the gnats cages were very good-looking, and they were reluctant to buy them.
"20 Wen, how is it?"
The little prince had no concept at all, and said with courage: "No, I want - 500 Wen!" ”
The Wang family has always had the problem of a lion's mouth, they bargained, and finally sold it for 100 yuan.
The two little guys held the money and found Wang Ning'an's tea shop, and their red faces were full of joy, especially Gouya'er, who helped sell an extra 80 Wen, and Gouya'er insisted that he could only give 20 Wen to the little prince, and the rest of the 80 Wen was his.
For the first time, the little prince dared to refuse, and warned Gouya'er that this was to buy a gift for his mother, and he was not allowed to rob it!
Wang Ningan likes to pay attention to the attitude of the little guys, and the always domineering dog Ya'er thought about it, and actually nodded, but told the little prince, "Wait until next time, the money will be given to him." ”
The two friends reached an agreement and were happy again, and the following is what to prepare.
100 wen is not much, and they can't buy anything good, so Wang Ning'an proposed to take them to the vineyard outside the city to pick, and in a month's time, it is just right to make sweet wine.
Pick the grapes with your own hands, wash them with your own hands, sell some honey, add them, stir them, put them in jars and seal them, the hoarfrost on the grapes is a natural yeast that will turn the grapes into aromatic wines......
The little prince's daily activities will be reported to Zhao Zhen and Empress Cao by the Imperial City Division, which is also the biggest source of happiness for the couple.
"The emperor is so young, let him go to the street to set up a stall and go outside the city to pick grapes, which is ruthless enough!" Queen Cao said, but her eyes were full of smiles, in front of her, there were two cricket jars, and a grub cage, and a loud voice came from time to time, this is the emperor's treasure, she is reluctant to fall into the hands of others!
Not only did Empress Cao not get tired of fiddling with these autumn insects, on the contrary, she also took the initiative to ask the little eunuch for advice and learn how to raise them well. She is ready to let the crickets and gnats spend the winter safely in the right temperature, and the emperor must be very happy......
Zhao Zhen smiled, "These things are not big, but they are really cultivating people, being filial to their sons, doing business on the street, that is to experience the hardships of the traders, go to the city to pick, and know the hardships of farmers." As an emperor, he can know benevolence and filial piety, know how to cherish the people, at least a gentleman who keeps his success! ”
……
Zhao Zhen is very satisfied with the growth of the little prince, he doesn't even want his son to work too hard, if he can solve all the difficulties and let his son be a safe son, Zhao Zhen is very willing.
Taking time, Zhao Zhen announced Wang Ning'an to the palace, and Sima Guang, who came back from Western Xia, came with him.
The imperial court has been discussing for a long time, and many of them advocate taking the opportunity to be tough on Western Xia, but Zhao Zhen listened to Wang Ning'an's suggestion and was already preparing to run Qingtang and make peace with Western Xia temporarily.
But even so, it can't be obedient, and it must leave some trouble for the Western Xia people, so that they can fall into civil strife and take care of themselves, so that the Great Song Dynasty can attack Qingtang with peace of mind.
Doing bad things is Wang Ningan's specialty, he is used to smearing a layer of sweet honey on the poison, and before you know it, he will poison you and can't extricate yourself.
The Liao Kingdom was half-crippled by this hand, and now it is the turn of Western Xia.
"Junshi, what do you think of Li Liangzuo?"
"Deep and deceitful, insidious and vicious, with vision and means, the traitor will not let him be the father!" Sima Guang gave his own evaluation, and Li Liangzuo chose to give up the New Year's coin in exchange for a prisoner, which has to be said to be very clever.
In fact, the New Year's coins of the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao State were abolished, and the New Year's coins of the Liao Kingdom and the Western Xia State were also abolished, and the original triangular debt was abandoned on both sides, and the Great Song Dynasty was too lazy to give the Western Xia New Year's coins.
As long as he rescues people, all tribes will be grateful to the emperor and clear the obstacles for the pro-government.
As long as he is an adult, sober-minded, and has firm supporters, the ministers are often not opponents.
"Your Majesty, Wang Xianggong, I'm afraid that at this time, Li Liangzuo has already begun to lay out, preparing to eradicate the unhidden traitor, and send the captives back at the latest, Li Liangzuo will launch it, maybe in advance."
Sima Guang gave his judgment, and Wang Ningan believed in Sima Guang's ability very much.
"What does Li Liangzuo think about the matter of trade, especially Qingyan, does he make any requests?" Wang Ningan said curiously.
"No, he just said that it would be enough to maintain the previous 300,000 stones! This is where he is treacherous! ”
Before Sima Guang went to talk, he negotiated with Wuzang Pang and reached 300,000 stones, and later added them one after another, reaching 500,000 stones. Cui Xifeng has already confessed that he promised to provide 500,000 catties of pig iron to Wuzang Pang every year, and also helped Wuzang Pang get the formula for gunpowder and oil, and offered a huge amount of money.
But the Western Xia miscalculated, although the Great Song Dynasty encountered difficulties, but don't forget, Wang Ning'an has opened up the Changlu salt field, and after a short ration, a steady stream of sea salt from Changlu was transported to fill the gap in the northwest.
The original salt merchant power was swept away, but in fact, relying on the Changlu Salt Farm, it was enough to maintain the salt consumption in the northwest.
The reason why Wang Ningan insisted on importing green salt from Western Xia was that the price of green salt was indeed low and the quality was good. Only by maintaining competition can we keep the price of salt down and benefit the people.
Moreover, he wanted to use the green salt business as bait, just like dealing with the cattle and sheep business of the Liao State, and gradually pulled the Western Xia down.
However, Li Liangzuo was obviously more tenacious than the Khitans.
He believes in Li Yuanhao's point of view, as a samurai, with a sword in his hand and a war horse under his crotch, he just takes whatever he wants, if he relies on trade, wouldn't he become a businessman!
Li Liangzuo had no intention of expanding trade with the Great Song Dynasty, and even wanted to restrict it.
Only by maintaining the bravery and wildness of the Tangut people can they have strong combat power and not repeat the mistakes of the Liao State.
From this point of view, it is definitely not an exaggeration to say that Li Liangzuo is a hero!
Although he is only fifteen years old, he is really not to be underestimated!
"What's that...... Wang Xianggong, trade is your consistent supreme divine soldier, but you just met an elm pimple, and it's not easy to use it...... What do you think about this? Guangguang whispered, obviously treacherous, he wanted to see how deep his teacher really was!
"I have a lot of recruits, Li Liangzuo is just one person, can he manage everyone! He is an elm pimple, he can't be steamed, he can't be cooked, and so are others? I don't believe it, millions of Tangut people, dozens of tribes, no one is greedy for pleasure, no one likes money! ”
Wang Ningan said to Zhao Zhen: "Your Majesty, the minister has asked Chen Shunzhi and Wang Shao to ask those prisoners of the Proton Army to see which of them is willing to serve the Great Song Dynasty, and the minister is ready to use their connections in Western Xia to smuggle and corrupt the nobles of Western Xia, no matter how stubborn Li Liangzuo is, he can't stop the money offensive!" ”
Wang Ningan said viciously.
Zhao Zhen suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: "Wang Qing, I seem to have a better candidate. ”
"Who is it?"
"Yeli meets beggar!"
After Zhao Zhen finished speaking, Wang Ningan hesitated for a moment, and suddenly exclaimed, "Your Majesty, is this person a Yeli beggar who defeated our army in Sanchuankou and Haoshuichuan?" Li Yuanhao's brother-in-law? Isn't he dead? ”
Zhao Zhen was surprised when he saw Wang Ning'an, and he was very proud.
"Such a good chess piece, how can I be willing to let him die! At that time, Li Yuanhao wanted to kill the Yeli clan, Yeli Yuqi fled to the Great Song Dynasty, praying for shelter, and at that time, some people asked me to return Yeli Yuqi to Western Xia for the sake of peace between the two sides. I tried to delay it for more than a year, and then I found a death row prisoner who was similar to Yeli Yuqi, pretended to hang himself, and took advantage of the summer to send it to Western Xia, and when I arrived in Western Xia, the body was already decomposed and unrecognizable. ”
Speaking of this, Zhao Zhen sneered slightly, a full old fox.
