Although Mao Geng hopes that this overseas project can be contracted successfully, Mao Geng is not the first brother in the mall after all, and after a long silence, he asked Cai Jianwen to meet with the people from the city tomorrow. Mao Geng still wants to wait for the completion of the model building to talk about this matter, the whole project is finishing, and it can be completed in a hurry.

In fact, Mao Geng also needs a little time to think about all aspects of this overseas project, such as design style, building materials transportation and construction management, etc., and he has to think carefully before he can negotiate with others.

At noon the next day, the model building was finally completed, and after some tidying up, the whole model building looked extraordinarily magnificent, and the hour hand on the huge hour table on the bell tower kept plucking, making the model building even more extraordinary. All the people who passed by stopped to watch, and then they reluctantly left.

When the pointer was about to point to three o'clock, the two sedan chairs came to the model building surrounded by a group of people, Cai Jianwen walked out of the first sedan chair, and saw the people in the sedan chair behind him step down from the sedan chair, and greeted enthusiastically:

"Brother Zou, please!"

The man was about thirty years old, his complexion was slightly dark, but he was quite handsome, dressed as a great Song scribe, he also raised his hand and said politely:

"Brother Cai, please!"

Then the two looked at each other and smiled, but Cai Jianwen took the lead, raised his feet and walked towards the gate of the model building.

When the crowd of onlookers was neutral, someone asked curiously:

"Is the one in front of you the owner of this house?"

Someone immediately sneered:

"The host has been waiting in this house for a long time, and these two guests have come to congratulate them."

But then someone refuted his words:

"Hey, hey! These two people are empty-handed, as if they have come to congratulate them! I see that the person in front of me is handsome, and I heard that the master here is as good as Longyang, hehe, what are they doing, it's hard to say! ”

As soon as this remark came out, it immediately attracted a lot of onlookers to discuss, this is a rare gossip anecdote, and people with a heart began to enthusiastically participate in this special interactive program, among which some people pointed out:

"The one in front of him is suave, but the one in the back, who is not dark and not young, can he also be that child! The owner of this house has a lot of taste! ”

This is good, this person took the lead in complaining about the aesthetic taste of the master here, and immediately some people echoed it, everyone felt that his evaluation was very pertinent, and they were very puzzled why the master here had a strange taste, but some people pointed out that those who have a habit of breaking sleeves are different from ordinary people's tastes, so it is not worth making a fuss.

Mao Geng and Wen Yuan are receiving guests in the hall at the moment, of course they won't hear these gossips, and if they do, they don't know how to feel.

After the introduction of the guest and host, Mao Geng learned that the guest Song's surname was Zou, and the Song name was Zou Yalian, who was the cousin of Zou Yana, the king of Champa (referring to Jaya Indravarman IV, the translation of the Great Song Dynasty made people hurt eggs), and traveled between the Great Song Dynasty and the Champang, which can be regarded as the official and businessman of the Champong City. The Cai family had close business contacts with Zhancheng, and after coming and going, the relationship between Zou Yalian and Cai Jianwen also became close.

Mao Geng led Zou Yalian to look around the model building, the concrete floor slabs in which Zou Yalian was amazed, plus tiles, glass, glazed tiles, everything Zou Yalian had never seen, and after seeing it, he was naturally shocked. In fact, this kind of shocking feeling was there two days ago, and after it was completed today, I saw it again from the inside out, which made Zou Yalian even more determined to build a building of the same format in Zhancheng.

After Zou Yalian sat down, he looked at the novel oval table for a while, and touched the new chairs that were different from ordinary chairs.

Mao Geng watched Zou Yalian's every move, and said in his heart that this was just an ordinary conference table in later generations, and the chair was an ergonomic Ming-style chair, which was nothing. But all of this is quite novel in Cai Jianwen's eyes, not to mention Zou Yalian's feelings.

The topic of the two sides started from the model building, and Zou Yalian praised it from the bottom of his heart, and mentioned that he wanted to build the same house for the palace in Zhancheng. But how to build such a novel and beautiful house, only Mao Geng is the only one in the world who can build it, so although Zou Yalian is a powerful buyer, it is difficult to obtain a negotiation advantage in front of the monopoly seller Mao Geng.

Yesterday, Mao Geng heard Cai Jianwen introduce this Zou Yalian, originally Zou Yalian came to the Great Song Dynasty for the Wang Yuanmao case.

Speaking of this story of Wang Yuanmao's early years, it can also be called a legend, Wang Yuanmao's family is poor, when he was a teenager, he was a miscellaneous monk in the monastery as a sweeping monk, but Wang Yuanmao is very smart, the temple in the Song Dynasty also gave lectures to the disciples, and the scope of the course even involves encyclopedic knowledge. But later Wang Yuanmao went to Zhancheng with the Great Song Dynasty merchant ships in the Qiandao years, because of his language talent, he was soon regarded as a well-educated person in Zhancheng, and the king hired Wang Yuanmao as a guest, and soon called Wang Yuanmao as a concubine. After that, Wang Yuanmao further swung his advantages of the Song people, after the tributary trade was blocked, with the help of the official background of the city, he engaged in the civil trade between the city and the Song Dynasty, and within a few years, Wang Yuanmao was in the city for ten years, and he actually accumulated a family business of millions of yuan.

Wang Yuanmao returned to his hometown ten years later, and it was a beautiful talk in Quanzhou for a while. Ten years ago, Wang Yuanmao hired Wu Da to go to Champa for trade, but unexpectedly there was a murder case of murder on the way to the voyage, Wu Da and other 21 people were killed by sailors on the same ship, and the murderer replaced Wu Da in Zhancheng to make a deal, and on the way back, he lied that Wu Da and others were in distress and died of natural causes on the way, and the lie was immediately seen through by Wang Yuanmao. However, according to the law of the Great Song Dynasty, if the matter was reported to the official, the murderer's trade proceeds would not be able to escape the confiscation, so Wang Yuanmao was confused by the profits, and conspired with the murderer to cover the lid and hide the murder case.

But the sky net is magnificent, negligent but not leaky, this murder case was not covered after all, that is, last year, one of the victims actually suffered from a great disaster, was injured and rescued by the people who occupied the city, and returned to the Great Song Dynasty ten years later, and reported the murder to the official, so Wang Yuanmao was imprisoned for harboring and sharing the spoils.

Wang Yuanmao was also a colt of Zhancheng, so it was also appropriate for Zhancheng to send people to the Great Song Dynasty to mediate. But it is a matter of 21 lives, Wang Yuanmao's crime is placed in the Great Song Dynasty, which is important to the religion, of course, he will be spurned, even if he has the identity of a horse who occupies the city, the punishment will not be light. In addition to exempting Cong Yilang, who had previously rewarded Wang Yuanmao, he couldn't run away from confiscating part of his family wealth. But since Zou Yalian has come to the Great Song Dynasty, he always has to give face, and Wang Yuanmao's case is finally a heavy punishment for the murderer, and it is estimated that Wang Yuanmao will be released from prison in two or three months.

However, Zou Yalian's trip was not only for Wang Yuanmao's case, but because the king of Champa Zou Yana (Jaya Indravarman IV) was preparing to raise troops to attack Zhenwax the following year. Zou Yalian came to the Great Song Dynasty for another purpose to seek some kind of intervention from the Great Song Dynasty and try to stop the king's expedition.

In other words, the situation in the Indochina Peninsula in the past two hundred years is, simply put, a reduced version of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". After the five dynasties from the rule of the Southern Han Dynasty, Annam began the road of expansion, the territory at that time, but less than a quarter of the territory of later generations, the three kingdoms fought for hundreds of years, and in the seventeenth century, Annam finally annexed the city. At this time, Annam, Champa and True Wax are still in the early stage of the Three Kingdoms, on the whole, Annam has gradually been in the strong situation of the "Wei State" in the Three Kingdoms era of China, and Champa and True Wax are equivalent to the "Wu and Shu" in the Three Kingdoms, and the pattern of Wei strong Wu and Shu is also born between Annam, Champa and True Wax.

In the sixth year of the main road, Zhancheng reached a peace treaty with Annam, and the army conquered Zhenwax. Champa and Zhenwax were originally inseparable, each with its own victory and defeat, but in the seventh year of the main road, Wu Yunxiang, a Fujian man who went to Champa from the Great Song Dynasty, changed the course of the war, and this person taught the Cham army the method of cavalry and archery of the Great Song Dynasty, so Champa won many battles in the following battles. In the fourth year of Chunxi (1177), Wu Yunxiang made another strategy, and Zhancheng traced the Mekong River with naval ships, arrived at the Tonle Sap Lake, and smashed the real wax capital Angkor, broke the capital Angkor in one fell swoop, killed the real wax king, and looted Angkor.

However, in the seventh year of Chunxi (118o), the successor of the prince of Zhenwax, Jayavarman VII, led an army to counterattack, defeated the occupation forces of Champa in the following year, and recovered the territory of Zhenwax in one fell swoop.

Of course, the king of Champa Jaya Indravarman IV was unwilling, and for seven or eight years he had been fighting hard, preparing to conquer the real wax again, hoping to attack Angkor again to completely subdue the real wax. Some of the people in the Champa court were deeply worried about this, because the king of the true wax, Jayavarman VII, was not an idle person, and if he could not win the battle, it would be a great disaster for the city.

Therefore, the Lords and factions sought international mediation from the Great Song Dynasty, but the matter could not be carried out publicly, so they had to let Zou Yalian come to the Great Song Dynasty to act on the camera.

However, the foreign policy of the Great Song Dynasty at this time was in a period of contraction, and the disputes on the Indochina Peninsula were only based on empty mediation, Zou Yalian came to the Great Song Dynasty, and was even beaten by the Quanzhou government in Quanzhou, and the Great Song Dynasty did not let Zou Yalian enter Lin'an as an envoy to occupy the city.

Zou Yalian finally managed to come to Lin'an, but not as an envoy to the city, but as a businessman in the city.

Zou Yalian revealed his heart to Cai Jianwen, and when Cai Jianwen heard about this, he came up with an idea, which was nothing more than to let the king of Champa indulge in enjoyment, and then gradually forget about the sword soldiers. Zou Yalian already has the habit of being a playboy, and when he heard this, he felt reasonable.

Then Zou Yalian saw the Mao model building, and the prince of the Zhancheng royal family immediately liked it. Even if it wasn't for the country's sake, he intended to build such a building. Zou Yalian thought that if he built a novel and luxurious palace for his cousin, and the golden house was hidden, the king would be ambitious from now on, and he would no longer be light-hearted. Besides, even if your cousin doesn't get the trick, it's always good to build a gorgeous palace. For this cousin who is fond of war, anyway, those people in the country can't think of a way to stop him from sending troops, so let's die as a horse doctor and try the method of the left side door, maybe there will be unexpected effects.

Mao Geng did not talk to Zou Yalian at first, but chatted with him in the sky. According to the golden rule of sales in later generations, it is very important to shorten the distance between customers, so Mao Geng guided Zou Yalian to talk about current affairs in Zhancheng from time to time, Zou Yalian thought that Mao Geng advocated the civilization of Zhancheng, so the conversation has been very strong, it can be said that he knows everything and speaks endlessly. Soon, Mao Geng had a general understanding of the situation of the three kingdoms competing for supremacy in the Indochina Peninsula.

In the history of Mao Geng's previous life, the king of Champa Jaya Indravarman IV raised an army to conquer the wax in the next year (119o), but was defeated by the king of the wax Jayavarman VII, and the wax army pursued the victory and captured the capital of the city in one fell swoop, and even Jaya Indravarman IV was a prisoner of the wax. Jaya Indravarman IV originally wanted to destroy the true wax, but instead he brought about his own destruction.

Mao Geng came from later generations, he didn't know this grievance between Champa and True Wax, but he knew about Annam, that is, Vietnam's annexation of Champong, Mao Geng complained in his heart that Champa and True Wax should have joined forces to fight against Annam, just like the Three Kingdoms Shu Han "Lianwu to resist Cao" is the correct national policy, it is the same reason. But the funny thing is that Zhancheng and Zhenwax are all with one mind, according to Mao Geng's idea, isn't this cheap Annan for nothing!

In view of the fact that Mao Geng did not have a good impression of Vietnam in later generations, Mao Geng changed his mind at this time, and said that of course the money in Champa should be earned, but how to make Champa more disgusting to Annan, and be able to fight with Annan for a long time, can be considered together. If you can help Zhancheng, then the money will be more reasonable.

For how to build the palace, Mao Geng conceived a night last night, and today he came prepared, so he hurriedly put forward three plans, the first plan is of course the most expensive, the most magnificent and luxurious architectural plan, and the third plan is the most frugal, but it is expected that the other party will not choose, and it should be the second plan with the greatest hope of success. But after the three plans were thrown, looking at the posture, this customer looked like he was wealthy, as if he liked the first plan more.

Mao Geng was happy in his heart, but he immediately worried about Zhancheng, and the first plan of the heart was long-lasting, don't build it, the real wax army came over in one fell swoop, and the project money was immediately lost, and this kind of rotten thing must be avoided no matter what. As soon as he thought of this, Mao Geng couldn't help but worry about the peace of the city.
