"Since so-and-so opened this mouth, what do you think? You're a tribute, but it's also a transaction, so it's better not to ask too much about other things, understand? Zhang Yue's last sentence was tantamount to a warning, but he wouldn't ask about the specific business situation. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Then thank you Zhang Xiang! We will subcontract the goods to Gangnam merchants, but is it feasible to trade in Tokyo? Zhong Mo's face changed when he heard this, he was over sixty years old, and he saw the key to this transaction, that is, both sides bypassed the government. Listening to Zhang Yue say this, he immediately understood that the background of Huihe Commercial Bank may be very complicated, and the energy is also very huge, and it can actually eat the wealth of a country.

"If it's too big, it's not suitable, where do you live? Someone will come to your door and ask for a meeting, and you can talk to them! Zhang Yue pondered that the deal with Jiangnan has always been done by Li Deliang, but others are in Yuezhou. Zhang Quanxu was stationed in Tokyo for a period of time, and he was also in charge of the transportation summary between branches in Kanto, usually running around, only letting Li Duoshou take orders first, and the goods were sent to Heyin for handover.

"Thank you so much for Zhang Xiang!" I didn't expect things to be negotiated so quickly, and the two looked at each other, and they both showed great joy. Li Yu lifted the teapot and refilled it, and found that the tea was already cold, so he happily turned around and shouted, "Someone!" Shout that Emperor E came out to give Zhang Xianggong tea! ”

"No need! I can't afford such a courtesy! Zhang Yue was about to say goodbye, but when he heard this, he sat still. Li Yu actually called his princess to come out and give him tea, but then suddenly, he regretted that he didn't knock hard just now, but he could still instruct Li Duoshou to bargain, and it was still too late.

In his opinion, this matter is a transaction, but for Li Yu, it is a significant mission, and the dust has settled on the position of the crown prince, if it is not done well, it may be attacked by his brother Li Hongji, and it will also disappoint his father Li Jing, which is very important to him, and it is normal to have a grand etiquette. After the Huainan War, the envoys of the Southern Tang Dynasty often came to the Great Zhou Dynasty to pay tribute, and each time the envoy position was of a very high standard, which in itself was low-voiced.

Zhong Mo was stunned for a while while while listening, and called the princess to come out for tea, which was a little too much, but Zhang Yue's identity was not low, and it was reasonable, so he didn't say anything.

"Deserve it! Well deserved! Speaking of Zhang Xiang, he is also a nobleman of the country, but I don't know why he is not on good terms with the ministers of the Chinese book? After talking about the matter, Zhong Mo began to inquire about the Tokyo court situation again.

"Huh...... But I don't know what Mr. Zhong thinks? "It depends on the situation, this Zhong Mo obviously knows the cause and effect, of course Zhang Yue doesn't care, so he intends to take the school exam.

"Although I don't know if Zhang Xianggong still has external forces and what his backhand is, it seems that he has gained a lot in the short term, and at least he can win back the power that the privy council should have. However, if we look ahead, I am afraid that it will not be beneficial to the country or the people. Zhong Mo said euphemistically.

"That's what Master Zhong said! People are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves, but if they really don't fight, there will be no good results. "How can Zhang Yue not see through this matter, but he can't say that he misses, and if he says too much, he will lose.

"Yes! Dilemma! Just like my Tang Kingdom, it is difficult to regain national strength without Jiangbei, and the morale of the people is lost, and they are just trying to survive. Zhong Mo seemed to be disheartened, but these words were just a brick.

"Not necessarily! Although the best time to sweep Jiangnan has passed, it is easy to revive, first solve Qingyuan, and then annex Wu Yue, and then there is no need for Zhang Mou's advice. Zhang Yue said so, but Nantang couldn't do it at all, not to mention Li Yu, who was about to become the crown prince, he knew that it was useless.

Zhong Mo nodded in agreement, Li Yu was about to speak, when there was a sound of small footsteps outside, accompanied by the sound of ringing and dingdong, the large square lattice door was pushed open to the side, and a young woman with a high hair comb and a petite and delicate figure was dressed in a blue close-fitting collared shirt with a peony pattern and a slightly wide tunic skirt, and a light water red wide-brimmed straight-necked wide-sleeved robe.

The neckline and waist are tied with long ribbons, and a narrow and slender goose-yellow silk wraps around the crook of the arm. She moved lightly, fluttering with silk, and the hem of the loose robe that was more than two feet long on the floor swayed, which was unique and elegant.

And looking at her appearance, it is completely the makeup of a court lady, and her hair about five inches high is combed very chic, at first glance it looks like two crooked and upward rabbit ears, fixed with tortoiseshell hairpins and flowers inlaid with pearls and a few rubies, and it shakes when she walks, which makes people worry that the rabbit ears will fall off at the next moment.

She has her hands tucked into her sleeves and tuddled in her abdomen, a gentle smile on her face with light makeup, picturesque slender eyebrows and a small nose, and her lightly rouge cherry lips look delicate and beautiful, and her chin is round and slightly pointed, but it is very harmonious with her pretty and graceful posture.

"The concubine Zhou has seen Zhang Xiang!" Emperor E is her small character, it is said that her name is Zhou Xian, but the woman's name or character is not easy to show, and she generally only calls her original surname. If she does not follow her husband's family, even if she marries into the court, it is the same, and from this point of view, the status of women at this time is much higher than that later.

She stepped into the middle of the private room, and the skirt fluttered with a fragrant breeze. Zhang Yue saw that her figure was actually very short, but when she stepped forward, her skirt swayed with a special sense of knots, which can only be had by women who often practice dancing, just like Bian Yuhui will have a few shallow dances, but she is not so charming when she walks.

"Princess, please get up!" Zhang Yue smiled, sat upright and leaned forward slightly, saying that his most respected identity was only the prince of the country, but the majesty of the kingdom was different.

Zhou Xian saluted Li Yu and Zhong Mo one by one, and then picked up the bottom plate of the teacup from the tray in the hand of the maid behind him, and poured a shallow half of the celadon teapot with a thin neck and big belly, closed the lid, and moved to Zhang Yue's case, his eyes flashed and glanced at Zhang Yue, bowed slightly and presented it with both hands, and said with a slight smile: "Zhang Xianggong, please use tea!" ”

Tea ceremony is a very subtle and rigorous grand etiquette, if the upper person is in front, you have to go to the front of the case, and the general guests do not need to. And when pouring tea, it can only be half a small one, which also has the emphasis on light tea and full wine.

"Thank you very much for the hospitality!" Zhang Yue couldn't sit indifferent anymore, he was sitting cross-legged, which was a bit rude, but it was not a formal occasion, he hurriedly lifted his knees and got up, bowed his hands and ten fingers together, carefully took the small teacup bottom dish with his thumb and index finger, and saw that the rabbit's ears and hair were trembling, and couldn't help laughing: "Dare to ask the princess!" Is this your own homeburns? ”

Zhou Xian was stunned, stopped and glanced at Zhang Yue, couldn't help but stretch his eyebrows, and chuckled slightly self-sufficiently: "It's okay!" There are three of them! Zhang Xiang shouldn't have been to Jiangnan, but I don't know how he found out? ”

"I see! I heard about ...... "Zhang Yue has seen some information about military affairs in later generations, and there are exactly five generations who mentioned this, of course he hasn't heard of it in this era."

After Zhou Xianyi served tea to Li Yu and Zhong Mo one by one, he bowed and retreated, but there was still a faint fragrance lingering in the small hall of the private room. The three of them discussed the details of the transaction of grain and gold and copper for a while, and Zhang Yue got up to leave.

Li Yu and Zhong Mo exchanged a few words, and when they saw that Zhang Yue insisted on leaving, they got up to send each other. When you come in, you take the inner staircase, but when you go out, you take the outer staircase of the state bridge on the east side of the street, but there are guardrails and vermilion columns, and large carved windows.

"Free of charge! The two of you are so polite, please come back! Walking to the corner staircase on the side of the building, Zhang Yue refused to send the two again.

"My king still lives here, but I live in the Honglu Temple Pavilion, if Zhang Xianggong sends someone over, you can go to this Mingyue Tower to make an appointment first, I don't know if it's convenient?" Seeing Zhang Yue's humble salute, Zhong Mo also stopped taking advantage of the situation.

"Someone will come to meet you in the afternoon!" Seeing that they had to ask them about everything, Zhang Yue simply made an appointment and sent Li Duoshou to come over for an interview at that time.

As soon as Zhang Yue turned around after speaking, his eyes just looked through the window, and he saw the boats coming and going on the Bianhe River downstairs, as well as the state bridge with white marble carved guardrails. More than 1,000 armored soldiers surrounded a fleet of chariots and horses and marched onto the state bridge, and the honor guard flag in front of it faintly had the words "Wei Wangfu" on it.

Did Fu Yanqing, the king of Wei, enter Beijing? Is it for yesterday's sake...... Zhang Yue couldn't help but be surprised for a while, and then laughed to himself, the news was not transmitted so quickly, it should be for the first emperor to go down the mountain mausoleum, but in this way, will it ruin his own big things.

Zhang Yue watched in a deep voice, took Yang Xuanli and other personal soldiers downstairs quickly, went to the East Courtyard to take a carriage out of the street and turn to Shangzhou Bridge, and then entered Bianhe Street and went home all the way to the east.

Just as he left on the front foot, more than ten sturdy knights behind him were dressed in cloth, looking up at the upstairs in front of the Mingyue Tower, and there were four people leading and riding in front of him, and in the middle was a gray-haired, ruddy face, but wearing a Tai Chi pattern gossip robe with half black and half white, and a long sword behind him, looking like a fairy wind and bones.

And the two horses on the left side are next to each other, which seems to be a middle-aged couple in their twenties and thirties, dressed as Miao Yi and Nannan. The man was in his forties, wearing a black tube hat embroidered with red and green patterns on his head, a tail that was raised high and slowly tapering at the top of the center, black trousers with red and green patterns on a blue background under fat trousers, and a narrow silver knife hanging from his back.

And the woman also wears a cylindrical silver ornament, with a small silver string hanging under the eaves to cover her forehead, which reflects the sparkling silver light when it shakes, and contrasts with the black background red pattern embellished with the short dress and fat bloomers, the only dissonance is that there is a slender short sword on the back, and the hilt of the sword is also shining silver.

And the person on the right side of the Taoist priest, if Zhang Yue is here, can recognize it, it is Wang Yansheng, who is of medium stature and has a thin appearance, and he looks like he has returned from a long journey.

"Mingyue Tower! Ge Laozi insists on getting it! This is it! Two senior brothers! Sister-in-law! Please let the junior brother do the friendship of the landlord, and then go to my lord's mansion to settle down! Wang Yansheng also hung a long sword from his waist, and his right hand held the hilt of the sword, and it seemed that the injury to his thumb was intact.

No matter how these four people look at it, they have a feeling of being in the rivers and lakes, especially the husband and wife in Miao costumes, which make the nearby pedestrians pay attention to each other.
