Chapter 531: Hindsight

Seeing Renzong set his eyes on himself, Chen Yuan took a step forward and said: "Long live, Weichen thinks that the contract we made with the Dongying people must not be reversed, my Great Song Dynasty is a country of gentlemen, since I promised other people's things, I must do it no matter what." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoAs for what Lord Wang Ju said about buying all those boats, Weichen didn't dare to agree. ”

Wang Ju was obviously a little impatient, and raised her hazy teary eyes to look at Chen Yuan: "Lord Chen,"

Renzong waved his hand: "Chen Shimei, you finish speaking." ”

Chen Yuan said: "Yes." When the shipyard first built the ship, we contacted the Koreans and hoped that they would become our buyers. However, Goryeo rejected us, and in desperation, we chose the Dongying people, who happily bought nearly 30 large ships and placed a large order. At this time, if we terminate trade because of the problems of the Dongying and the Koreans, it will obviously be a dishonest to others, and when we trade with other countries in the future of the Great Song Dynasty, our credibility will be greatly reduced. ”

Renzong nodded slightly after hearing this, and those scholars and doctors also began to discuss on the side, at this time, after all, the Song Dynasty and Goryeo had no friendship, but they only had a deal with buying grain last year. Although the scholars of the Song Dynasty looked down on the merchants, they would never demolish the merchants' platforms.

The reason is very simple, it is because these merchants provided a lot of money for the Great Song Dynasty, so they can enjoy the "generous nourishment" of the Song Dynasty in peace. Once the merchants do not do business smoothly, the imperial court will immediately have a shortage of funds, and their own treatment will be lost. They don't buy or sell, but they also know that credit is a very important thing in the mall.

However, there are still some people who were moved by Wang Ju's statement just now, everyone has their own ideas, it happened too suddenly, and they need to discuss it privately now.

Wang Ju saw that Chen Yuan objected, and also knew that the relationship between this concubine and the emperor of the Song Dynasty was very good, and he suddenly panicked in his heart.

This time in the Battle of Busan, fifteen ships were defeated by the other side, eight of which sank to the bottom of the sea, and seven were towed away by the other side, and the combat effectiveness of the Goryeo naval division was greatly reduced.

If they can't get the support of the Song Dynasty, the Goryeo people really can't do it!

"Hooray, if you hand over the warships that the Dongying people have booked to them, won't you put me in trouble with Goryeo? When the Great Song Dynasty signed the covenant with our country, it was said that friendship and mutual assistance, when the other party has enemies, it must not be funded in any form to fund the other party's enemies, which is also clearly written in black and white! ”

The treaty between the two sides does have this clause on it, which was originally Injong's plan to let Goryeo come out to help when he fought with the Liao State in the future, at least not to stand on the side of the Liao State. But I never thought that this clause would actually bind the Great Song Dynasty in the first place.

Renzong's expression was a little hesitant, and he nodded slightly: "What you said is also reasonable, everyone, if you sell the ship, you will lose your trust in Goryeo, and if you don't sell it, you will lose your trust in Dongying, how is this good?" ”

Wen Yanbo took a step forward: "Long live, Weichen thinks that this faith is also big and small, and the letter of Shangjia is a small letter, and the treaty signed by the two countries is a big letter, and the minister thinks that he should abandon the small and seek the big." ”

What Wen Yanbo said made a lot of sense, but Renzong hadn't decided yet, the whole thing was provoked by Chen Yuan, and he should have a better way. Renzong looked at Chen Yuan again: "Shimei, what do you say?" ”

This is the second time that Renzong has consulted Chen Yuan, a third-grade official who ranks relatively low in the court. As long as you are not blind, you can see Renzong's favor for Chen Yuan.

Pang Ji squinted his eyes and looked back, although he tried to hide his eyes, Chen Yuan could still feel the knife in his eyes shooting at him.

Chen Yuan also pretended not to see, and said with a fist in his fist: "Long live, the minister thinks that our Great Song Dynasty can take a better way, for example, we can sell the ships to the Dongying people at the same time, and also sell them to Goryeo." For the ships sold to Dongying, we charge enough price, and we limit it to 100 ships, that is, we will sell to him what we promise, and then buy it, and we will not sell it. ”

He paused a little and looked at Wang Ju: "As for the ships sold to Goryeo, we can relax some prices and ensure a steady supply in the future." ”

Chen Yuan had already calculated the economic strength of the two countries, and Dongying was now buying a hundred ships and weapons at once, and he would not be able to buy them again in a short period of time.

The ministers also felt that this method was not bad, although Wang Ju was a little unwilling, but seeing that the Song Dynasty had a tendency to agree with this opinion, it might be boring to fight for it, so he turned his head and took a step back and said: "Long live, can you sell us some ships first?" Let my Goryeo sailor make up for the loss? ”

Renzong didn't ask Chen Yuan this question: "Of course you can, let Master Chen do the specific things." Chen Shimei. ”

Chen Yuanying said: "Weichen leads the order." ”

Renzong said: "Let the ships sell some warships to Goryeo first, and also, those we captured by Dongying, you must save all of them." ”

Chen Yuan said: "Wechen obeys the order, please rest assured, Wechen will contact Dongying people immediately, if necessary, Wechen should go to Dongying in person." ”

This attitude not only satisfied Renzong, but also those ministers in the court were also very satisfied. However, Pang Ji was suddenly shocked at this time, if Chen Yuan really went to Dongying, then no matter what happened to Yelu Ling in Bianjing, he could push it all away, how should this be good? No, we must find a way to force Yelu Lingling to hurry up.

Because the Goryeo envoy suddenly made such a fork, the time of the next dynasty was half an hour after Ping, so Renzong did not leave Chen Yuan alone this time.

Walking in the retreating procession, Chen Yuan heard someone behind him shouting to him: "Lord Chen." ”

Stopping and turning around, seeing that Sima Guang was not far behind him, Chen Yuan waited for him, and at the same time turned back and saluted: "Master Sima." ”

Sima Guang quickened his pace: "Lord Chen, this matter between Dongying and Goryeo, the lower officials think that it is a little inappropriate for the adults to solve it by this means. ”

Chen Yuan glanced at him: "Since Master Sima has a good way, why didn't you say it in the court just now?" ”

Sima Guang said: "It's not that I don't want to say it, it's just that I just heard the tragic situation described by Wang Ju, and the lower official was a little excited in his heart, and he didn't think too carefully. Xiaguan thought that there was no need for my Great Song Dynasty to participate in the war between Goryeo and Dongying. The agreement with Goryeo was also signed in order to get food as soon as possible. And if the Koreans had remembered to help each other, how could they have sold us grain at such a high price? Now that they remembered to help each other, the lower officials thought that as long as they promised not to sell the ship to Dongying again, there was no need to make it convenient for the Koreans, and we would also raise the price of the ship a little higher, instead of selling it to them cheaper, as Master Chen said. ”

Chen Yuan smiled, this Sima Guang is really interesting. He somewhat understood why Sima Guang completely rejected Wang Anshi's changes when he came to power. This kid is also a man who must repay his eyes, although he is known as a gentleman.

"Lord Sima can play the book to the emperor."

"The lower official meeting, it's just that I want to ask Lord Chen to slow down first, and wait for the lower official to read the instructions of Banzai after the official comes to the book, and it is not too late for the lord to make a decision."

Chen Yuan nodded: "I don't know if Lord Sima has thought about it, Banzai has already promised that Wang Ju in the court just now, at this time, even if the Lord is on the book, Banzai is not willing to break his trust with others." ”

Sima Guang's expression was very resolute: "The lower officials know, but no matter whether this book is approved or not, the lower officials will be on it." ”

Chen Yuan looked around, and suddenly lowered his voice: "Master Sima, I have a joke here, I don't know if you have heard it." ”

Sima Guang was stunned for a moment, he really couldn't understand what Chen Shimei was doing now telling jokes? At the moment, he said suspiciously: "Lord Chen, please speak." ”

Chen Yuan said: "There was a Uighur who was scolded for being a stupid pig when he was in the Uighurs, and he didn't care about it at the time, but a year later, when he returned from the Song Dynasty, he immediately ran to the house of the man who scolded him and killed him. Do adults know why? ”

Sima Guang subconsciously asked rhetorically: "Why?" ”

Chen Yuan said with a smile: "Many people asked him this, and the man said that the Uighurs did not have pigs in the first place, but he went to the Song Dynasty this time to find out that pigs were so stupid." ”

Sima Guang's head also turned extremely fast, and he immediately understood that Chen Yuan was talking about himself again, and his face showed an angry look: "Lord Chen, I thought I could discuss with you before I came, why are you sarcastic about me?" ”

Chen Yuan smiled: "I'm not sarcastic about you, it's just that it's terrible to be slow to react to some things." Master Sima, I don't know how you prepared your 300 gold? Two months have passed, and if you don't have the cash to pledge your things, I'll be really embarrassed to accept it. ”

Sima Guang glared at him, but he still maintained the bearing of a scholar: "Don't worry, don't worry, although you don't have any money in the next place, you still have three hundred gold." ”

Chen Yuan made a relieved look on his face: "Oh, that's good." If the people of Dongying are not good at talking this time, I may really have to go there, and when I come back, we should see each other. ”

Sima Guang said with confidence: "Please forgive Lord Chen for the stupidity of the lower officials, the lower officials really can't see it, and the adults are sure that they will win." ”

The two of them walked to the gate of the palace while talking, Chen Yuan stepped on the carriage and turned back to Sima Guang and said, "If you lose, it's not bad, Lord Sima, do you want to give you a ride?" ”

Sima Guang said without a smile: "No need, the carriage will come soon, and Lord Chen will go first." ”

After Chen Yuan got into the car, he thought for a while and said to Han Qi: "Go find Liu Yong." ”

The circulation of the newspaper has been opened, and now Liu Yong's newspaper has to print 6,000 copies per issue, which is already a large sales volume in the Song Dynasty, and it can completely cover the eight mansions of the capital division.

Now that many people are using the news in this newspaper as their source, Chen Yuan needs Yoo Yong to do some propaganda to publicize the progress of the war between Goryeo and Dongying. Sooner or later, the Great Song Dynasty will intervene in this war, and what we need to do now is to lay this foundation and reduce some resistance for intervening in the war in the future.

Dongying, he really needs to go, not for those Song people who were captured. The safety of those people's lives is still guaranteed, no matter how crazy Xiao Yue is, he is not so crazy that he came to provoke the Great Song Dynasty when the problem of Goryeo has not been solved, not to mention that he still has a batch of ships and weapons in his hand.

Chen Yuan went to Dongying to prepare for Dongying in the future.

If you want to win a war, you must not only prepare well militarily, but if you can gain something in other aspects, you can let the soldiers learn a lot, which Wu Hao taught Chen Yuan.

He is no longer called Wu Hao, but has changed back to his original name, Wu Tianqi.

Before going to Dongying, what Chen Yuan had to do was to divide the winner with Lao Pang. Lao Pang must have been aware of the relationship between himself and Su Xiaoyou, just like Chen Yuan knew from Shen Rui that there was a connection between the Liao people and Pang Ji.

Chen Yuan always thought that he was the one who made the first move, but now he knew that Lao Pang's move was actually so fast, was Chen Yuan's skill superior, or was Pang Ji more sophisticated? I believe that the results will be available soon.
