Chapter 340: Borrowing Food (2)
"In this way, I only need to hand over the cargo to the Zhenla Kingdom tomorrow, and then invite the prince of the Zhenla Kingdom to visit the Great Song Dynasty, and they will definitely hand over the grain to me. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" Hao Bai thought to himself.
At that moment, after he knew what he should do tomorrow, he went to bed, and when he got up the next morning, after washing up, he saw the prince of Zhenla Kingdom coming over again, and the maid behind him brought breakfast.
Hao Bai couldn't help but think that this Zhenla country didn't know if it was because of the people's customs, or if it really revered the Heavenly Empire so much.
But he would not show this thought on his face, so he had breakfast with the enthusiastic prince of Zhenla, and then at the invitation of the prince of Zhenla, he came to the palace where he met the king of Zhenla yesterday again.
Today's Zhenla Kingdom Palace is even more lively than yesterday, countless people in luxurious clothes are standing on both sides of the main hall, and after seeing Hao Bai come in, they are all looking at him curiously.
Presumably, these people are the nobles and high-ranking officials of the Zhenla Kingdom.
All the way from the main hall to the innermost, Hao blank was not rude, and constantly bowed his head to the officials of the Zhenla Kingdom, and the officials of the Zhenla Kingdom saw that the envoys of the Heavenly Empire were so polite, and they all returned the courtesy and smiled.
After meeting the king of Zhenla Kingdom, Hao Bai was given a seat by the king of Zhenla Kingdom after meeting him, and sat under the prince of Zhenla Kingdom.
"Did Song Envoy sleep well yesterday?" King Chenla asked.
"Thank you for your concern, I slept well last night." Hao blank replied.
King Zhenla smiled: "So very good, I heard that last night the Song envoy gave Xiao'er three gifts, Xiao'er liked it very much, this king is here to thank Song Envoy." ”
Hao Bai also smiled back: "The king is polite, the so-called brothers in the four seas, my Great Song Dynasty and Zhenla Kingdom were originally neighboring countries, and it is nothing to give some gifts." “
Hao Bai is really not wrong in what he said, although at this time Zhenla and the Great Song Dynasty did not border, but that was because the Jiaojiao country was lost by Zhao Guangyi, if the Jiaojiao country was still a county of the Great Song Dynasty, it would be adjacent to the Zhenla country.
King Zhenla nodded: "What the Song envoy said is that when the Great Song Dynasty takes back the Jiaojiao Kingdom on that day, it will be easier for us to communicate with each other." ”
"It's just a matter of time." Hao blank said: "Three years ago, my Great Song Dynasty has recovered the sixteen states of Yanyun, and last year I recovered the Western Xia, and now my Great Song Zhuoguo Gong is already fighting against Liao, and it is estimated that the Liao State will be merged into the Great Song Dynasty in the future, and it will be handed over to the time zone, but I am afraid that I will surrender without a fight." ”
"Oh? Is the Great Song Bingfeng so beneficial? King Chenla was surprised.
He is not a lonely person, and he also has some understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of the surrounding countries, especially the four big countries of Tubo, Dali, the Great Song Dynasty, and the Liao State, and he has specially sent people to investigate.
Although he has long known that the cultural economy of the Great Song Dynasty is very strong, after all, the two countries are too far apart, so he does not know the changes in the Great Song Dynasty in recent years.
In line with the principle that Zhao Gu bragged and did not pay taxes, Hao Bai replied: "That's natural, our Great Song Zhuoguo Gong can be called a miracle in the sky, and he invented a weapon called the Shenwei Thunderbolt, once ignited, only a fist is so big, it can turn into dust within a radius of three meters, and it is naturally easy to deal with the feudal kingdom." ”
"Oh? Is it that powerful? This king would like to see it. King Chenla seemed a little skeptical and said.
"Then the king will move, and we will go outside and have a look."
King Zhenla was also very interested in this, and happily went, Hao blank accompanied King Zhenla to the open space outside, and other officials followed.
Hao blank estimated the distance and made everyone wait on the periphery of the clearing, and then he took a modified Shenwei thunderbolt from his entourage and threw it out violently.
The Kamui Thunderbolt fell to the ground and suffered a heavy blow, and suddenly exploded with a 'bang', making a roar all day long, and at the same time blasting a nest on the bluestone ground.
"Shhh From top to bottom in Zhenla Kingdom, all the people who watched the explosion of the Dao gasped, and they couldn't figure out why there was such a strange thing in the world, and it could have so much power.
Seeing the reaction of everyone in Zhenla Country, Hao Bai couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart: "It seems that what the eldest brother said is really right, as long as I take out the Shenwei Thunderbolt, I can immediately deter these people." ”
After a long time, King Zhenla and the rest of them all recovered from the explosion, and looked at Hao Bai's eyes full of fear.
"Song envoy, I don't know what happened when the Great Song Heavenly Dynasty sent you this time?"
Hao Bai didn't hide it, and said directly: "I am the Duke of Zhuo Guo of the Heavenly Dynasty, Zhao Gu Tianzong, who has read all the books in the world, and knows that there is a kind of rice that crops three times a year in your Zhenla country, so he sent me here, wanting to exchange some rice seeds with you, and take them back to the Great Song Dynasty to plant, if this matter can be done, the grain income of my Great Song Dynasty will be doubled, and then the Duke of Zhuo Guo will naturally thank you." ”
Although Hao Bai is a little straight, he is not stupid, he knows that he can't borrow grain directly, thinking of what Zhao Gu said about the rice in Zhenla Country that crops three times a year, so he pretended to borrow a seed and borrowed grain.
And he only mentioned Zhao Gu from beginning to end, and did not mention Zhao Guangyi at all, which was also adding mystery to Zhao Gu, presumably in the heart of King Zhenla, he had already deeply remembered this name.
Sure enough, hearing him mention Zhao Gu several times in a row, King Zhenla secretly kept this name in his heart, and at the same time made a decision, that is, if he had the opportunity, he must meet Zhao Gu, even if he couldn't go to the Great Song Dynasty, if he could let Zhao Gu come to Zhenla Country as a guest.
But then he also found that he was a little whimsical, Zhao Gu turned out to be the founding prince of the country, and he was powerful in the Great Song Dynasty, how could he come to Zhenla Country, it was better to let his prince go to the Great Song Dynasty and ask to see Zhao Gu?
After thinking about it, King Zhenla invited Hao Bai into the palace, and then asked: "My Zhenla country does have three crops of rice a year, but I don't know how much the Great Song Dynasty wants?" ”
Hao Bai got Zhao Gu's guidance, and already knew that the Zhenla Kingdom would inevitably give him food, and after thinking about it, he said: "My Great Song Dynasty originally consisted of more than 400 state capitals, but after the return of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun and Western Xia, there will be more than 500 state capitals, plus the Liao State that is about to be included in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, I am afraid that there will be at least a thousand state capitals, assuming that a state capital only needs 3,000 catties of seeds, I am afraid that it will also have 3 million catties of grain." ”
"So much?" King Chenla's face was hesitant, as if he was thinking about the gains and losses.
Hao Bai was not in a hurry, and said: "Of course, if the Zhenla Kingdom can't get it, it doesn't matter, when the time comes, my Great Song Dynasty will use your grain for a few years, and the seeds will be available, and these are nothing." However, our grandfather said, Zhenla and our Han national empire have already established diplomatic relations, and now the Great Song Dynasty is peaceful and peaceful, and the four seas are surrendered, if Zhenla is interested, the two countries can still establish diplomatic relations, and every year in the future, my Great Song Dynasty will give a batch of treasures to Zhenla, and the two countries will work together to build together. ”
