Chapter 799: What You See Is What Others Want You to See

It's already late when I get home after finishing my errands, so I made up for it overnight! The update will be resumed from today, and I would like to add that the end of the update notice refers to the end of the leave, not the end of the book. This book is expected to be in three volumes, and it is only now in the second volume, thank you for your concern.

"What?! Shandong private businessmen dare to come to the door? ”

After thoroughly figuring out the origin of the person who blocked the road and shouted injustice, Lu Yundi was completely shocked by the stupidity exuded by this guy. In fact, I don't blame him for being rare and weird, but there is no reason for a mouse to beg a cat to call the shots!

What is a private trader? That is the moth of the state's finances and the natural enemy of law-abiding businessmen. This guy does not post accounts from the city shipping company, and also encroaches on the overseas market of legitimate maritime merchants, if the maritime merchants all over the world follow suit, then the city shipping company will still eat a fart! In the long run, the imperial court can't collect money from overseas trade, and the official family wants to renovate the scene, and ask Cai Jing to cook without rice?

You must know that the person who can't tolerate villains in the world must be villains. Now that the villain is in charge, the traitorous minister is in the dynasty, and the national public weapon is their private weapon for scraping bones and boiling oil, just ask the king of these silverfish, how can they tolerate those little leeches who can't get on the stage to play this trick under their noses? What's more, Lu Yundi forcibly detained this person at the cost of tearing his face with Wu Neng, the original intention was to change from passive to active, to see if he could catch the pigtails of the Korean people, so as to be in an advantageous position in future negotiations! How did he know that this guy was actually a thief, how to make him not angry?

The matter has come to this, in public and private, Lu Yundi can't have a good face for this person, and he was almost angry on the spot:

"If it is in the land of the Great Song Dynasty, although the crimes and evils of your gang are not under the jurisdiction of this official, they have to drag you to Yousi! You're good, Guan Wang begged for a son in the temple, and ran to the lord to shout injustice? According to me. You are not wronged! ”

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency...... Although the villain is a private businessman, I am also a dignified Song person! This Goryeo country is just a country, saying that he will turn his face, not to mention forcibly detaining our ships of the Great Song Dynasty, and also imprisoning our people of the Great Song Dynasty, the old man is an official of the imperial court, and finally met in this foreign country, how can he not make the decision for us? ”

"The! The scandals of your people have not been spread back to the country, but if they have been preached. Look what thief would dare to do such a mad thing! Come on, and take this guy down, and bring it back to the Great Song Dynasty to show the public in the next day, so as to warn the lawbreakers! ”

Lu Yundi waved his hand in annoyance, as if he wanted to drive away the mosquitoes flying in front of him, because the infinite disappointment had exhausted his patience, and how to ease the relationship with the Goryeo reception officials in the future was another headache. I heard that Wu Neng's almost stable servant of the Ministry of Rites was lost, and he was replaced by a waiter of the Ministry of Rites who put on a faΓ§ade. Now that real gold has fallen to the price of silver, I can't tell you how much you hate yourself in your heart!

"Master, I am an official of the Song Kingdom, and I am a person from the Song Kingdom. Why can't you support me in front of the barbarians! ”

Just when Lu Yundi was distracted, the private businessman just kept pleading, and two sergeants with their backs stepped forward to take him down, except for a few silent gentlemen on the roof. No one could understand the hidden disdain in the man's heart.

"To support you, there are many and mixed people in this mission, if you ask any rebellious preacher, the master openly speaks for private businessmen. The prime minister hasn't skinned me alive! ”

Lu Yundi knew in his heart, watched coldly, and did not say a word, after watching the private businessman take him down, he gradually calmed down, and sat upright for a long time, and suddenly stood up and said secretly: This is an opportunity! Although the Goryeo Kingdom has some greed for money, but the crackdown on private merchants is obviously more in line with the interests of the Great Song Dynasty, if it can be used to regulate the trade between the two countries, and the Goryeo State's crackdown on private merchants is included in the overall control of the Great Song Dynasty, I am afraid that the imperial court will not see his ability to Lu Yundi?

Thinking of the political significance of this matter, Lu Yundi was so excited that he didn't sleep well that night, and he didn't even pay much attention to the task attached by the Privy Council to each diplomatic mission to spy on the other party's national conditions, but in the days before the ceremony was held in the Goryeo Kingdom, he talked happily with the courtiers from all walks of life who came to visit him every day, especially the conversation with Wu Neng was the most pleasant. Can it be unpleasant? After all, no matter how angry he is, Wu Neng still hopes to take advantage of his parents' state.

After a few days of talking, the Goryeo Kingdom had already chosen an auspicious day to hold the ceremony on the same day. Lu Yundi was invited as a special guest and needed to read the holy decree of the Great Song Emperor on the spot. It is said that early in the morning, Lu Yundi dressed neatly and went to Kaijing Wangcheng accompanied by Wu Neng, the guide of the Goryeo Kingdom.

This seems to be the first time Lu Yundi has walked out of the post house after entering Kaijing. Passing through the street market along the way, he felt that although it was a little dilapidated, the people in the city seemed to be enthusiastic, as if the war that had occurred not long ago had not affected their mood, and anyway, everywhere he went, it was a crowded scene. It's a pity that Lu Yundi's mind is not here, otherwise the discussions that can be heard everywhere in the streets and alleys are enough to make him realize the comical nature of this trip.

"The Heavenly Pilgrimage Lord is really a god reincarnated, and he has chosen a living Bodhisattva like Marshal Wang to come to our country, and the hard life of our people is over!"

"That's right! We are afraid that people like the marshal will not stay long and let those Renzhou people continue to cause trouble, so my family has moved to a good brick house, and finally became a city person, if I go back to live in a shack, which woman is willing to marry my son? ”

"It's not in vain! Now that every family lives in a good house, everyone has hope, who rarely lives in a tiled house? Besides, how old is your kid who wants to get married? Now I want to send my son to join the army, in the future, I will eat rice and white noodles, wear cowhide armor, see the world, and earn some military merits when I come back, and I am afraid that the marriage will not break the threshold? ”

"Listen to him! Marshal Wang's soldiers are worth ten of their families, where is his turn to earn military merits? You don't know, I heard that the marshal's team is about to cross the Datong River, and then it is the territory of the female barbarian, and his son, when he sees the wild man who came out of the hole, does not immediately pee his pants? ”

"That is, don't have eyes on your forehead, according to me, we have a big jar, how many pickles are pickled! If you have strong laborers at home, it is better to sign up to repair the city and pave the roads, and you will be full, and when the time comes, you will know a few more Han people to take care of in the future, and then come back to do some business, even if you live the life of a city person! ”

"No, no, I think it's better to learn a craft than to do business, there is a saying in the Song Kingdom that 'the craftsman who starves in a famine year'! You don't know. My family has relatives in Quanzhou, oh, it is now Xia County. His boy followed the blacksmith who moved from the Song Kingdom as an apprentice, and the blacksmith shop opened so big, just opposite the county office, dozens of apprentices learned to make iron from the master, and I heard that they could become a teacher in a few years! ”

……

Lu Yundi couldn't understand what these enthusiastic Fanguo people were talking about, but he could get great satisfaction from their respectful eyes. This was a treatment that would never have been enjoyed when they were sent to the Liao State or Western Xia, and although the subjects of the above two countries admired the Great Song civilization in the same way, they looked at the Song people. but like a wolf and a fat sheep, a thief cares for the Lord.

"Brother Wu, it seems that the lord of your country has a high reputation among the people! Look at the colorful clothes they wear, and the hearts of the people are still very aligned! ”

The ruined city, the aborigines who have lost the scum, so that Lu Yundi's sense of superiority attacked, and he sighed for a while, Wu Yong snorted and did not answer. It is said that at this time, both sides are rude. But Lu Yundi knew that the benevolent brother in front of him had lost his official position by himself, and he didn't care about himself at the moment, but comforted him warmly, "After Xiao Ke returns to Beijing, he will show the benefits of Wu Shilang." In the future, if your Excellency is registered in the hearts of the officials, the king of Goryeo will also look up to you by three points! ”

Lu Yundi said everything about this, Wu didn't pretend to be deaf anymore, and I saw that the expression on his face was more vivid. thanked the other party, and explained with a "strong" face: "My lord is diligent and loves the people, and the people know it in their hearts." It was his joy. It's a happy event for the whole country! ”

"The lord of your country is really the lord who wins the hearts of the people!" Lu Yundi echoed with emotion, and asked with some curiosity: "I don't know what the people have to say about my mission?" "This is a shy question, but in fact, it is to collect information about the attitude of the Korean people towards the comeback of the old club.

However, this question stumped Wu Yong, this brother's Goryeo dialect can't even be called a half-tone, not much stronger than Lu Yundi, and naturally he can't understand the people's discussions. However, as the big fool of Da Song Lulin who ranks in the top three, he can still do it without changing his color in front of Lu Yundi. At that moment, Lu Yundi nodded again and again when he heard it, and sighed that the friendship between the two countries has a long history.

Wu Yong saw it in his eyes, and the more he looked down on this bureaucrat from Tokyo. It was not that there were no Korean interpreters in the mission, but no one was willing to go among the people, so all the tactics he had personally devised for targeting people were put on hold. In the face of such a pig opponent, how can he show his ability as a general?

Fortunately, Wang Lun understood him, which made Wu Yong deeply pleased. Wang Lun actually has a very clear understanding of the way these people behave, and Wu Yong also thinks so, just to make up for the fatal shortcomings that he must omit in every big plan, he prepared a marking tactic to ensure the isolation of the mission from the natives, but in the end, it was still useless. Just like Wang Lun said, these people live in the temple, and they are all day long, and they are not even willing to approach the people of their own country, how can they get close to the people of other countries? Even if they are engaged in intelligence, these masters are used to the upper-level route, and if they want to envelop them, they will also envelop a courtier like Wu Yong.

"Brother Wu, Xiao Ke will meet with the lord of your country later, I don't know what matters need attention?" Traveling to the royal city covered in red and hanging colors, Lu Yundi tidied up his clothes again, and after feeling that everything was normal, he turned around and asked Wu Yong. It seems that he completely trusted Wu Yong, otherwise it would be impossible to ask so bluntly.

"Brother Lu doesn't have to be nervous, the lord of my country is approachable, and you are the queen's mother's family, everything can be done with courtesy, just ......" Speaking of this, Wu looked around with pretended vigilance, and finally lowered his voice, and said mysteriously: "It's just that now the pro-Liao faction in the country is too big to fall, even if the lord of the country has a pro-Song heart, he also has concerns, so he has carte blanche to contact the younger brother with Brother Lu, Brother Lu is in front of me Wu Neng, I have something to say, but it doesn't hurt!" What else is there to discuss? ”

Wu Neng's sworn assurance, coupled with his sincere and sincere smile, immediately reassured Lu Yundi, who was full of ambition and ready to do a big job. He Lu Yundi can meet such a confidant in a foreign country, it is really the fate of the previous life! When you return to Tokyo in the coming day, you must go to Daishokokuji Temple to burn incense and make a wish! (To be continued......)
