Formally met the Son of Heaven, and then it was Hexijin's turn to offer gifts. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

To say that this time in order to 'curry' favor with Sima Yao, the Son of Heaven, Wei Shuo can be regarded as a 'blood capital'.

The glazed products that have just been successfully developed by the Ink Engineering School have all been brought by him.

In addition, cotton cloth from Gaochang, horses from Hetao, specialties from the Western Regions, etc., are almost all rare items in the south of the Yangtze River.

Looking up and down, staring at the glittering glass products, saliva almost flowed out.

Sima Daozi, the prime minister, stared at a pair of bull's eyes, eager to snatch all these exquisite tributes into the palace of the king of Huiji.

Sima Yaozhi, the Son of Heaven, was complacent, and ordered his chamberlain to carefully move the gifts offered by Hexi into the treasury one by one.

These gorgeous gifts made the Son of Heaven look great and happy, and also made his eyes look at Wei Shuo more and more satisfied.

Seeing that the people of Hexi knew each other so well, the Son of Heaven forgave Wei Shuo for his private friendship with Huan Xuan.

"Most of the protectors are bothered, I like these gifts very much."

"Your Majesty likes it! Things are too precious, and ordinary people are not blessed to enjoy them. ”

"Only Your Majesty, as the Ninety-Five, can enjoy such exquisite things."

"Well, you have a point."

As soon as these words came out, Sima Yao looked at Wei Shuo more and more, and even thought that the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs were not as good as Wei Shuo.

However, Wei Shuo is not stupid, he understands that it is useless to please the Son of Heaven alone.

Therefore, he changed the topic and began to win over the ministers of the family.

"If the lord is also interested in glass jewelry, please send someone to Hexi to buy it yourself."

"There are some slightly inferior quality glazes in Hexi, although they are not as good as the tributes just now, but they are only one or half a point short."

"As long as you can afford the price, you can buy it in Hexi."

"It's just that the glass production is not suitable, the output is not high, it can only be on a first-come, first-served basis, if someone goes late unfortunately did not buy, please forgive me."

Knowing that there was still glass production in Hexi, the officials of the family who loved to enjoy all looked at Wei Shuo eagerly, and some even sent invitations to him in the court.

Sima Yao, the Son of Heaven, did not express dissatisfaction with this, but was complacent because he monopolized the best batch of glass.

In addition to glass, the most popular is cotton.

Even though most places in the south of the Yangtze River are not very cold in winter, the temperature in winter is still relatively low in Huainan, Huaibei, and even Shudi and the Yangtze River.

In the past, charcoal fire was indispensable for people's heating in winter, which is why ancient China logged a lot of wood, in addition to building houses, almost all of them were used for fire.

Today, in Hexi, Weishuo has banned the felling of trees and the destruction of grasslands, and people have to build houses with cement and use coal for fire.

However, because charcoal is easy to be poisoned, doors and windows can only be opened in winter, so that the charcoal fire heating effect is not good.

The quilt offered by Wei Shuo is much warmer than the traditional quilt, and there is no need to burn charcoal fire at night, which can be described as a weapon to keep out the cold in winter.

Sima Yao, the Son of Heaven, also tried to put on a padded jacket like Wei Shuo on the spot, and felt a warm flow throughout his body.

He turned his head and rushed to Wei Shuo and said with a smile: "Wei Qing's family, this cotton is really a good thing, I don't know if it can be introduced into Jiangdong?" ”

Wei Shuo said apologetically: "Back to Your Majesty, it's not that the ministers are stingy and unwilling to offer seeds. ”

"It's really that kapok is only suitable for growing in the Western Regions, and it is only produced in Gaochang at the moment."

"I see, I was reckless."

Sima Yao waved his hand disappreciatively, thinking that this is right, such a useful object must have various restrictions.

"Naoyuan, don't come to harm?!"

Wei Shuo had just answered the question of the Son of Heaven, and before he could catch his breath, he suddenly heard a familiar voice in his ears.

When he looked up, it was Wang Mi, who had a relationship with him, and Wang Mi was looking at him with a smile on his face.

"Oops, it turned out to be Brother Zhiyuan, disrespectful and disrespectful!"

Wang Mi smiled and sighed: "I had a hurried meeting with my foot in the Nanjun Mansion that day, and I didn't have time to have a deep friendship with Zhiyuan, so I didn't want to meet my virtuous brother in the main hall today, which is really gratifying." ”

"It's rude to say it, I was in too much of a hurry to say goodbye to Brother Wang."

Wei Shuo knew that this person was the grandson of the famous Wang Dao, and thought that he would not be able to deal with the Wang family in the future, so he devoted himself to intersecting with him.

"Brother Xian is polite, brother just heard Zhiyuan say that there are a large number of goods for sale in Hexi, I don't know if I can let the Wang family take over a batch?"

"What did Brother Wang say? You just send someone to Hexi, and when the time comes, I will write a letter, and you ask someone to bring it to Changshi Song Xuan, and he will arrange everything. ”

"Okay, Brother Xian, refresh! You're a friend, I'm done. ”

When the others saw that Wang Mi easily made a deal with Wei Shuo, they all went crazy with jealousy.

But everyone had no excuse to come forward and talk to Wei Shuo, so they could only stand aside and be in a hurry.

Only the prime minister Sima Daozi didn't care about this, he went straight to Wei Shuo, accompanied by his henchman Wang Guobao.

"Dadu Hu, come and meet the Prime Minister!"

Wei Shuo glanced at Sima Daozi, and without saying a word, he immediately arched his hand and said, "Meet His Royal Highness King Xiang." ”

Sima Daozi smiled with satisfaction: "Dadu Hu is really a young hero, this time he came to look for you, it's nothing, I just want to get to know Dadu Hu." ”

"King Xiang is polite, if you have any orders, just say it, and you should do it when you make up your mind."

Sima Daozi seemed to be very satisfied with Wei Shuo's attitude, so he smiled and bowed slightly.

Wang Guobao next to him immediately echoed: "King Xiang wanted to get to know Dadu Hu for a long time, but unfortunately he has always been on the side, and today he can be regarded as getting what he wants." ”

Wei Shuo endured the discomfort in his heart, pretending to be humble and said, "Shuo is grateful to the king for his love. ”

Maybe it's enough politeness, Wang Guobao glanced at Sima Daozi, suddenly coughed lightly, and deliberately lowered his voice.

"Most of the guards don't know, the Son of Heaven is very dissatisfied with your private meeting with Huan Xuan in Jiangling, and has prepared a military parade to kill your spirit."

Well?! What does this mean? Ventilation message? Now Wei Shuo was completely blinded.

However, he was not worried about any danger he had, not to mention how many gifts he had offered.

Just the status of a foreign vassal is enough to make the Eastern Jin Dynasty dare not harm him easily.

In addition, he didn't expect Sima Daozi to be so selfish, in order to show favor to himself and to satisfy his own selfish desires, he openly told himself the secrets of the imperial court.

But isn't that a good thing for him?

The Son of Heaven, who was originally sitting on the dragon chair, suddenly found that his younger brother Sima Daozi was talking to the Dadu Guards Shuo, and he couldn't sit still.

At this moment, Sima Yao had already forgotten the unhappiness at the beginning, and now his mind is full of rare things such as glass, which is much more intimate than the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces standing under the hall.

Well, Wei Shuo is so knowledgeable, he can't be co-opted by Sima Daozi.

No, you have to pull it back and follow me.

Thinking of this, Sima Yao first put the tribute aside and shouted at Wei Shuo: "Wei Qing's family, Wei Qing's family." ”

"The minister is here, I don't know what His Majesty commands?" Wei Shuo hurriedly left Sima Daozi and replied.

"Aiqing is loyal and righteous, wise and brave, and has won my hope, and I have decided to add an official position."

Just as everyone in the hall was whispering, Sima Yao, the Son of Heaven, personally issued an order to add Wei Shuo Tejin, the general of Zhenxi, the capital of the Western Regions, the capital of the Western Regions, the secretary of the three divisions, the envoy of the festival, the governor of Liangshashuo, Qin Yong, the military of the five states, the pastor of Liangzhou, and the prince of Wuwei County, and the affairs of the prefectures and counties under their jurisdiction can be done cheaply.

As soon as the Chrysostom of the Son of Heaven opened, there was an uproar in the hall, and they all exchanged heads.

Wei Shuo knew that with today's edict, Hexi would officially become a vassal of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Although Hexi remained relatively independent, the Eastern Jin Dynasty had nominal control over Hexi.

Even Wei Shuo didn't know whether taking this step would be a blessing or a curse for Hexi.

But one thing he can be sure of is that Hexi's original intention of unifying the world will not change.

Accepting the canonization of the Son of Heaven, Wei Shuo hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him.

"Your Majesty, Weichen still has something to do."

"Aiqing, please speak!"

"Since Weichen entered Jiangdong, he has felt the deepest feeling that the big country is rich in products, and he doesn't want the place where the minister lives, and the lack of materials can hardly meet the local needs."

"Weichen begs His Majesty to allow Hexi merchants to do business in Jiangdong, and the two sides will switch to each other."

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, after the merchants of Hexi come to Jiangdong, they will definitely abide by the rules of the great country and will never disturb the order of your country."

"Hey, what do I think is the matter? Isn't it trade? Alright, I've got it! ”

Sima Yao readily agreed to Hexi's request for trade, but unfortunately how did he know that this was the real purpose of Wei Shuo's trip.
