- "I was born and raised in Bianliang, and I love my beliefs, but that doesn't stop me from being a citizen of the Great Song Dynasty. [Literature]" Li Wei took a sip of tea, slightly curled his goatee and said: "We have been in exile for thousands of years, whether it is in Persia or Tianzhu, there has never been such a thing as now, bathed in the air of freedom, enjoying wealth and prosperity, is there a place in this world comparable to the Great Song Dynasty and Bianjing?" Saying that, he looked at Chen Ke and said: "Now, we are living very well in Bianjing, this is our heavenly kingdom, we don't want to go back to our hometown, do you understand this?" Please don't come to disturb our good life, let alone lead us to the road of no return. ”

Seeing that Li Wei rejected himself, Chen Ke was not surprised, in fact, he had always had doubts about whether his set of magic stick could deceive a person who gave pleasure. However, Li Wei was so tactful, and he was also carrying Lan Bi behind his back, obviously there were differences of opinion among the people of Yiqi Leye, and Li Wei's faction did not have the upper hand. After making up his mind, Chen Ke said lightly: "I don't know what the rabbi means? ”

"This ......" Through previous contact, Li Wei knew that Chen Ke was a difficult character to deal with, so he simply didn't beat around the bush and said straightforwardly: "Lan Bi was poured ** soup by you, and he was bent on the church, scriptures, and hometown, and he actually planned to draw up a contract with you." But I might as well tell you, if I don't agree, it's useless for you to sign the contract! ”

"When you give pleasure to the people, don't you regard the contract as life?" Chen Ke sneered: "It turns out that the legends are all exaggerated, and a patriarch can override the contract!" ”

"You ......" Seeing Chen Ke's words pierce his disguise, Li Wei's old face turned red and said, "Of course we will abide by the contract." After a pause, he raised his voice and said, "But the premise is that it is voluntary!"

There is a saying that 'the higher the voice, the more empty the heart', Chen Ke is more convinced, this old gentleman is actually a dead horse as a live horse doctor...... Eighty percent couldn't stop Lan Bi, and turned around and wanted to let himself give up the contract. He was not annoyed, and nodded with a smile: "The old gentleman's attitude, I already understand, when the rabbi comes, we will discuss." Let's see how we can make everyone satisfied. ”

"You ......" Seeing that the other party always used Lan Bi as a shield, Levi couldn't help but get angry. against this piece of hob meat. No matter how shrewd he is, there is no place for him. The old gentleman was a little annoyed, raised his head, and said with his beard open: "Come up with something practical, otherwise the old man will be reprimanded as an apostasy desperately." Stand up and stop you too! I want to see how many people are willing to follow the rabbi Hu in a good life! ”

This is the truth, Chen Ke heard his determination, and he also put away the two-skin face. [Literature] said solemnly: "Sir, you misunderstood me, I Chen Ke is talking about a win-win situation, and it will never harm the interests of your people." ”

"The old man wants to listen, how do you have a win-win method." Levi said in a deep voice.

"Let's go back to the plan of those three rich countries," Chen Ke said with a chuckle on the corner of his mouth, "Lan Bi was not interested at that time. So we only talked about the first one. ”

"That one alone is enough to shock the world." Li Wei is obviously more interested in this kind of topic: "How much you want to monopolize the finance of the Great Song Dynasty... IMHO... Wishful thinking! ”

"Ambition is the first step to success. If you don't even dare to think about it. And what about great success? Chen Ke said word by word: "As long as I control the currency issuance power of this country, it doesn't matter who is the emperor!" ”

This famous quote of later generations of Jews was obviously enough to shock their ancestors, and Levi suddenly felt his heart beat faster. He looked at Chen Ke deeply and said, "It turns out that this is your intention." ”

"I'm trying to get bigger, and that's part of it." Chen Ke stood up. Push open the window and let the sunlight shine in from outside: "I also want to build an ocean-going fleet that dominates the Seven Seas and monopolize the Silk Road on the sea!" I'm also going to establish a territory overseas and become my own king! "...,"What a madman......" Li Wei muttered, he felt that the Spring and Autumn Dream sent by everyone in Bianjing City, combined, was not as crazy as this person. But why is my heart still racing?

That's because the mania for money, like the fanaticism for religion, is already in the bones of a person who gives pleasure. If we had to rank them first, I am afraid that most of the people who were the most devout believers would be more enthusiastic about the former, except for the most devout believers like the rabbi.

In fact, Li Wei's opposition to signing a contract with Chen Ke is nothing more than that the price is too high, but there is no real benefit. Nihilistic religious satisfaction cannot be recognized by him, but Chen Ke's three dreams can really arouse his enthusiasm.

Monopolizing the currency of the Great Song Dynasty, possessing a powerful ocean-going fleet, or establishing his own kingdom overseas were enough to put Li Weigan at great risk—for the people of Yizhile, who had been adrift for thousands of years and were seriously insecure, all three goals had one thing in common, that is, they would bring them the most insecure sense of security!

In fact, Levi and his people have tried these three directions one after another over the centuries, but the reality is cruel and unforgiving - when they were in India and later in Guangzhou, they wanted to build an ocean-going fleet to take a share of the maritime Silk Road, but the arrogant Arabs monopolized the maritime trade routes, and when they encountered ships that dared to share huge profits with them, they would indiscriminately turn into pirates, looting all the goods, and even sparing the crew.

After several attempts and no return, the people of Yicile had to give up this path.

As for the territory, in the thousands of years, they have also found a few uninhabited islands, a few terra nullius, but when they have worked hard to develop it and turn it into a habitable place, it is like a curse from heaven, and it will not be long before a strong enemy will come to invade, and the people of Yicile have no ability to defend their homeland, and they do not want to become slaves again, so they have to continue to migrate east...... The reason why they went from the Middle East, to India, and then to the Far East was actually like lost dogs, and they were driven all the way.

Finally, there is Jiaozi. The first thing to state is that it was invented by Sichuan merchants, but no one realized its importance at the time, and it was only used as a token. It was a person who was rich in economic acumen and discovered the terrifying energy contained in it, so he did everything possible to influence Zhang Yong, the third envoy at that time, so that he could write to the imperial court and nationalize the distribution rights of Jiaozi.

Later, Zhang Yong was appointed as a transfer envoy to Yizhou, responsible for establishing an official Jiaozi system. Yici Leye was regarded by him as a think tank, so he participated in the distribution of Jiaozi in the Great Song Dynasty. Later, because of their excellent performance, the government was also happy to use Yici Leye people, which gradually controlled the Jiaozi distribution in Sichuan.

But that's limited to that, because the Song people summed up a truth from the lesson of the fall of the Tang Dynasty, that is, 'if you are not my race, your heart will be different', so when they wanted to go one step further and expand the scope of using Jiaozi outside Sichuan, they encountered strong resistance. Almost instinctively, the Great Song officials rejected their requests again and again.

Moreover, those Song officials who read poetry and books could not understand the meaning and function of Jiaozi, and in their view, it was just an expedient measure taken in Sichuan, which was seriously short of metal currency. Therefore, the imperial court strictly restricted Jiaozi to be used only in Shu, and metal currency was still used in other places.

It took more than ten years for the people of Yici Leye to constantly unite Sichuan merchants and persuade the court officials, but they only set up an eastern capital Jiaozi shop in Bianjing, and there was no progress, let alone their national Jiaozi dream......

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Although for the people of the Song Dynasty, these three dreams are tantamount to foolish dreams. But the people of the Song Dynasty who can be put forward are absolutely extraordinary. What's more, Chen Ke has already passed the exam...... Although the test is a different test, it is also certain that the Zhongjin Sergeant will step into the officialdom. ..., and through the observation during this time, Li Wei also found that Chen Ke is by no means a thing in the pool, and it is worth taking a risk to invest. So he was patient and listened to Chen Ke's plan, and after an hour, Li Wei made a bold decision and said, "How about we make another three-tier secret contract?" ”

"Three-tiered Secret Covenant?" Chen Ke said with a dry mouth, picked up a cup of tea and said, "What content?" ”

"That is, to divide the treaty into three parts, and after the first part is completed, the second part is executed; After the second part is completed, the final part is executed. ”

"Yes." Chen Ke nodded, now let him do the three things he promised, none of which can be done. From simplicity to difficulty, it is also what he wants. After nodding, Chen Ke suddenly realized: "It turns out that as soon as I came, I fell in love with your way!" ”

"Hehe......" Levi sneered, "We are not deceiving the officials, we rabbis are indeed praying." ”

"I'm afraid he'll be praying whenever I come." Chen Ke sneered.

"This ......" Mingren didn't say dark words in front of him, and it would be meaningless for Levi to deny it.

"Forget it, before signing the contract, in order to strive for the most favorable conditions, it is understandable to use all means." Chen Ke waved his hand and said, "But after the contract is signed, if you play tricks again......

"This official can rest assured." Levi patted his chest and said, "The covenant we made before God is a hundred times more important than our lives!" ”

"Bring your rabbis out!" Chen Ke nodded, he still had to look forward. Although there are many bad roots in this nation, there is no doubt about trustworthiness.

"Okay." Levi nodded, got up and pushed the door open, and ordered someone to invite Lan Bi to-
