"Hao Ren has left Beijing......" The messenger was very worried when he reported it.

“…… That's what the letter says? The Kipchak Khan's voice was as cold as an ice cellar.

Seeing that the Kipchak Khan was not angry, the envoy plucked up the courage to tell the bad news all at once, "Yes. The Great Khan also sent a thousand men and horses to return to the Yuan Kingdom with Hao Ren. Leading the army was the Queen Mother's nephew Sang Lan. ”

The Kipchak Khan stood up and walked back and forth in the tent with his hands behind his back. Then he began to scold, from Hao Ren to the Great Khan to the Queen Mother, all of them were angrily scolded by the King of Khan. Kuokuo is really a stinky bitch who seduces the Great Khan Kublai Khan, Timur will not only pull his mother's skirt and cry, but Hao Ren is a Han Chinese pretending to be a Mongol. The Kipchak Khan cursed angrily, unleashing his anger to his heart's content.

After scolding for a while, the Kipchak Khan suddenly paused. He sat back in the tiger skin chair and was gloomy and silent, his eyes as dark as a wolf. The messenger saw that he had nothing to do with himself, so he quietly withdrew. It wasn't until he was sure he was safe that the messenger breathed a sigh of relief. The change in the situation was really surprising, and the original Great Khan's pro-army tightly surrounded Hao Ren's residence, with a posture of rushing in and killing Hao Ren at any time. In an instant, Great Khan Timur feasted Hao Ren, and all the previous problems seemed to have not happened. When Hao Ren left the capital, Timur Khan personally sent him to the gate of the city, and the monarch and his ministers said goodbye in tears.

What exactly happened, no one knows yet. But every figure in the upper echelons knew that Hao Ren had once again won the favor of Timur Khan. The degree of favor this time far exceeded that of Kublai Khan's favor for Hao Ren. More than ten years ago, Hao Ren tried his best to serve Kublai Khan, and barely got the opportunity to establish the Yuan State.

Not only were the people of the Kipchak Khanate puzzled by this, but Hao Ren was also surprised. After attending a family banquet in the palace, the Great Khan's army gathered outside Hao Ren's residence dispersed. After that, Hao Ren was able to move freely around the Imperial City and Baghdad with a limited number of guards. Hao Ren is not stupid, of course he senses the subtle changes in it. Once freed, he went to visit the imperial envoy Yuxi Timur, who did not understand too clearly, but also made Hao Ren understand enough about the current situation of the poor in the Great Khan's territory.

Hao Ren could see that Yuxi Timur was very worried that Hao Ren was prejudiced against the Great Khan's territory. And Hao Renzhen didn't think so. At that time, he led hundreds of thousands of people to move west, but there was a shortage of materials and a difficult supply. A group of people is like Hanako, and that kind of poverty is really unimaginable. But Hao Ren survived, and now after the Yuan Kingdom became rich, Hao Ren turned his head and found that there were two kinds of poverty, one was the poor who had nothing in his hand, and the other was the poor who had nothing in his heart. Poverty in the heart is more terrible than poverty in the hands.

The history books tell many times of hard times when the kings burned down their palaces, smashed their treasures, and gave their men all their fine clothes. He and his subordinates wore linen clothes and wooden hairpins. Finally overcome the hardships and complete the great cause.

Relying on the system learned from Zhao Jiaren, and relying on the description of the land in the far west from the Great Song Dynasty, Hao Ren told everyone in the team about the bright future, making them believe that the current hardships were only temporary, and once the difficulties were overcome, there was a real happy life waiting for everyone. In just ten years, all this has been realized.

Whenever he saw the wealth of the Yuan Kingdom now, Hao Ren found it difficult to understand why these people had fallen into poverty for a long time back then, and judging from the results, being in poverty for a long time was the biggest joke. Since the Yuan Kingdom can become rich, so can Mongolia. At that time, Hao Ren searched hard up and down, hoping that one day he would change the current situation of poverty in Mongolia.

Originally, Hao Ren wanted to tell Yuxi Timur about the fact that he was likely to go to Mongolia to become prime minister next year, but he finally held back. After going through so many things, Hao Ren understood that the minister did not lose his body, and the king did not lose his country. It will be too late to announce it after he officially receives the Great Seal of Prime Minister from the Great Khan Timur.

Sitting on the return boat, Hao Ren felt happy and worried. Hao Ren's teacher, Hao Jing, had long said that the situation in Mongolia was that 'the princes watched inside, and the small people withered below'. Those Mongolian princes were resistant to Hao Ren, and many people had malicious intentions towards Hao Ren. In places where there is general poverty in the heart, it is not uncommon for anything bad to happen. Guan Zhong said that Cang Liao knows etiquette and knows honor and disgrace when he has enough food and clothing. If Mongolia becomes rich, these things should be able to change.

Returning to Odessa with various imaginations, Hao Ren did not act immediately, but first sent a report back to Kiev to inquire about the situation. The 1,000 pro-soldiers sent by the Great Khan to help were almost all seasick on the ship, and they needed to be repaired. When giving them quarantine, it is just right to learn about the latest situation first.

The first telegram soon returned to Odessa from Kiev, and in the latest news that the Teutonic Knights had gathered troops into the Polish region. Unwilling to accept the Pope's will, the small and medium-sized Polish nobles fled to the Yuan Kingdom to seek refuge. Looking at the movements of the Teutonic Knights, war was about to break out soon.

When Hao Ren got the news, Zhao Jiaren, who was far away in Hangzhou, also got the news. The content of the message is more detailed than that of Hao Ren. The Knights Hospitaller and Knights Templar, who were once annihilated by the Mediterranean Fleet of the Great Song Dynasty, had many nobles of the Holy Roman Empire, and after they were captured, they became a bridge between the Great Song Dynasty and the Holy Roman Empire. Some aristocrats who were aware of current affairs chose to form some kind of cooperative relationship with the Great Song Dynasty. Some of these collaborators attended the Teutonic Knights' conference in Marienburg and saw Polish nobles who thought the Pope would do justice to be beheaded, hanged, or simply roasted in the flames.

After the great Polish nobles were killed, the Teutonic Knights began a rapid eastward march and occupied all of Poland with little resistance. The Eastern European Division of the Great Song in the Mediterranean believes that war could break out next year. Regardless, the Teutonic Knights will have to take the time to digest the occupied territories.

Among the information sent to Zhao Jiaren, this information ranked fourth, and the first place was naturally the occupation of Corsica and Sardinia by the Eastern European Division with the help of the Western Roman Empire. In second place is Mongolia, where there seems to be someone who wants to do something to Hao Ren. In third place is Augustus Boyan of the Western Roman Empire, who married his son to marry the daughter of a great noble family of the Eastern Roman Empire. The ancestors of this great aristocrat can be traced back to the era of the partition of Eastern and Western Rome, and it is a wealthy family with a long history. The blood of the Roman emperor in the family is very strong.

Zhao Jiaren knows the careful thinking of the gang in the Eastern European Division very well. Foreign affairs were under the jurisdiction of the emperor, and Zhao Jiaren called the foreign minister and told him that he agreed to establish the province of Europa in the Great Song Dynasty, which was divided into five counties, four large islands in the Mediterranean, and one county in south-central Greece, and the seat of the province was established in Athens.

The foreign minister was extremely excited, but Zhao Jiaren did not make Lu Baifeng happy for more than fifteen seconds. "Once a province is established, it belongs to the state," he laughed. What are you guys going to do? Leave when you've had enough? Or set up an office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs over there? ”

Lu Baifeng's smile immediately turned into a wry smile. The people of the Eastern European Division have worked very hard all these years, and in such a self-financed place as the Mediterranean, they have used their lives and talents to make a lot for their families and clans.

"The official family won't want them all back, will they?" Lu Baifeng asked cautiously.

Zhao Jiaren leaned comfortably on the sofa and said slowly: "Development and operation are two different things. I'm afraid that some of those boys won't be able to tell the difference. ”

Lu Baifeng can distinguish the difference between development and management, and can also distinguish the difference between the wild land and the territory of the Great Song Dynasty. Hearing Zhao Jiaren say so gently, Lu Baifeng couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Zhao Guanjia is really a person who is too considerate, that is to say, he can't rub sand in his eyes. Everyone in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs knows the story of Chen Tang, a predecessor of the Han Dynasty, who sent an envoy to the Western Regions to solve the Xiongnu Zhizhi Shan Yu. This Zhi Zhidan, who bullied the barbarian countries in the Western Regions, was killed and then split his body, and displayed in the various barbarian countries in the Western Regions, which really shocked the Western Regions. Make the barbarian nations bow their heads. After making such a great achievement, when he was taken into custody and interrogated because of the edict, Chen Tang loudly defended his actions, saying, "Those who commit crimes against strong men will be punished even if they are far away." After thousands of years, these words are still deafening, which makes the children of the Han family sigh.

But Chen Tang finally broke down. This is not a conspiracy of the jealous people in the court, but Chen Tang's own greed makes him collect money to do things and embezzle public funds. He defiled with his own evil deeds the great statements he had made. Zhao Guanjia's words sounded like a warning, but in Lu Baifeng's opinion, they were genuinely caring. The national law of the Great Song Dynasty will not spare those who fill their pockets. Thinking of this, Lu Baifeng replied: "Official, I'll think about how to tell them." ”

"Okay."

"By the way, official, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs thinks that the war between the Yuan Kingdom and the Teutonic Knights will break out next year. This year, I plan to build more ships in the Yuan Kingdom. ”

"I don't think it's easy to say. Europa is different from our Great Song Dynasty, their transportation is not good, if the Great Song Dynasty annexes Poland, it is likely that a large number of men and horses and materials will be transported, digested in one year, and fought in the second year. If the Europa side digests it, they are too slow to transport troops, and if they are ready to digest the Polish region, they will have to digest it for at least two or three years. If you want to fight, then simply fight this year. ”

"Are the officials so sure?" Lu Baifeng felt that Zhao Jiaren's opinion seemed reasonable, but it didn't seem to be very reasonable.

"Not sure." Zhao Jiaren said with a smile.

Lu Baifeng could only reply: "I'll just go and remind them." ”

Leaving Zhao Jiaren's place, Lu Baifeng saw the former head of the household department, and the current acting prime minister Wen Tianxiang waiting in the lounge. Lu Baifeng hurriedly greeted Wen Tianxiang. Wen Tianxiang smiled slightly, "Hello Minister Lu, I'll go to see the official family first." After saying that, he walked in calmly.

Looking at the back of the acting prime minister, Lu Baifeng admired it very much. At present, no one with weight in the Great Song Dynasty dares to ask the Zhao official family to establish a prime minister, and to be able to take over the authority of the prime minister from the Zhao official family, even if there is only agency power, it is also unbelievable.
