Chapter 127: Where the Authority Lies (6)
The Mediterranean Sea connects Asia, Europe and Africa, and this calm lake allows Hao Ren's navy, which has not long had his own fleet, to run from the Black Sea to Jerusalem. The camel caravan stopped outside the city gates, and Geng Zhongjing arrived for the first time in the southeastern Mediterranean city.
As a northern Han Chinese, Geng Zhongjing did not believe in the three Semitic cults, nor did he believe in immortality. His beliefs are very ordinary in the eyes of the Han people in the north, and when there is something, he goes to find a temple to worship, and when he has nothing to do, he can't remember that there is such a thing as a temple. Seeing the figures of those magnificent temples, I was surprised and wanted to see what was going on. After seeing the scenery, Geng Zhongjing led his guards towards the palace of the current administrator of Jerusalem, Marshal Boyan.
There were heads hanging at the gates, and there were signs next to them that read about their crimes. Geng Zhongjing doesn't know much Chinese characters, let alone local characters. When you enter the city, you will see that there are people in charge of directing on the road, and everyone walks on the right, which is bustling and does not appear congested.
In the palace of the king of Jerusalem, the palace of Marshal Boyan saw many people coming in and out, taking out official documents and negotiating, and it didn't take long to get permission. Marshal Boyan has a prominent reputation, and more than ten years ago, he led the army south to fight the Song court to surrender. Geng Zhongjing always felt that this should be a gray-bearded old man by now. After really meeting, I saw a middle-aged man with a sturdy figure and a calm demeanor. Some gray sideburns show traces of time, but they don't make Boyan look old. This enviable appearance made Geng Zhongjing couldn't help but be in awe.
As he spoke, Geng Jingzhong found that everything he said seemed to have been seen through by Boyan. Hao Ren explained three things to Geng Zhongjing this time, he wanted to set up a liaison office in Jerusalem, and in the future, Xibian Dao would not have to make trouble to contact Marshal Boyan through the sea route. Negotiate with Boyan about a trade route from the Mediterranean Sea to the Black Sea Crimea. The last item surprised Geng Jingzhong and established a business path of 'Da Song-Boyan-Hao Ren' to operate together.
Boyan responded very calmly, and in the face of the last question, Boyan asked: "It's difficult for the Song delegation to not go back to the Great Song Dynasty?" ”
"The king of my family said that the Song envoy felt that if they could keep them safe, why should they go back to the Great Song Dynasty." Geng Zhongjing relayed Hao Ren's words, and at the same time carefully looked at the expression of the handsome Bo Yan. No matter how he looks, all he can see is calmness or calmness.
Within three days, the contact station and the trading line will be determined. Geng Zhongjing is sure that Marshal Boyan can have today's status, not because of his calm appearance, but because of his ability. Boyan told Geng Zhongjing, "Regarding the Song people, we met in Constantinople. ”
There is a relationship with Princess Maria, and the representative of Boyan is simply the Eastern Romans. The meeting of the three parties in Constantinople reached a rich result. In July 327 of the Great Song Dynasty, the news reached Zhao Jiaren.
Originally, for the sake of safety, the Great Song Mission wanted to return to the Great Song Dynasty in every possible way. The problem seems to have been resolved suddenly, and now the de facto controller of Jerusalem, Boyan, has said that as long as he remains in control here, he will ensure that the trade routes of the Great Song to Europe are unblocked.
On the northern shore of the Black Sea, the Mongol 'Yuan state', the monarch of the Yuan State, said he could take charge of the sale of goods destined for Europe. Whether it's spices, silk or other goods, he can be responsible for selling them.
Looking at Zhao Jiaren's thoughtful expression, Xiong Sheng smiled and said, "Are the officials thinking about the canal from the Red Sea to the Mediterranean?" ”
"Hmm." Zhao Jiaren responded. The population of Europe is now close to 100 million, and the ability to open up routes to Europe can be regarded as opening up a huge market no matter how you look at it. After looking forward to this, Zhao Jiaren retracted his thoughts and said to himself: "Don't think about such a good thing no matter what." After the Great Song Dynasty can occupy that area, we will talk about opening up. ”
"Official, can the Ministry of Rites negotiate with Boyan and them?"
"Talk to them."
"Can you talk to Boyan about the canal?"
"Yes."
After explaining the matter here, Zhao Jiaren chose to go home. The eldest son, Zhao Qian, has completed his term of office and returned to Hangzhou to prepare for university, choosing to major in hydraulic engineering. Zhao Jiaren likes this major very much, and as soon as this summer vacation is over, the three babies will go to college. Usually watching three rabbit cubs talk nonsense at home, it is easy for Daddy to accumulate negative emotions. But the three rabbit cubs are about to go to the dormitory for college and school, and the feeling is immediately bearable.
When I got home, none of the three little ones were there. This made Zhao Jiaren feel a little stupid. Thinking back to himself, before he was going to college, he also ran outside every day. At this time, Zhao Jiaren felt that he understood the mood of his parents at that time.
"Can't you tell them about them?" Qin Yuzhen said to Zhao Jiaren very unhappily.
"This kind of thing doesn't work."
"It's not a matter of not being useful and not saying it, and they must not be allowed to be so prodigal."
“…… Reasonable. Zhao Jiaren agreed.
At this moment, I saw my second son Zhao Xun coming in from the outside. Qin Yuzhen's face was already not good-looking, and at this time, she had an expression of 'I'm not happy, old lady'. Zhao Jiaren felt a little uneasy when he saw it.
Zhao Xun didn't pay attention to his mother's posture at all, he rushed to his mother happily, and said excitedly: "Mother, the classmate I said before who was going to get married finally agreed to come to our house as a guest." ”
The moment she heard this, although Qin Yuzhen wanted to maintain her original stern expression, the emotions in her heart made that expression melt quickly. Zhao Jiaren didn't feel anything other than being a little surprised, and at this age, he had a completely different feeling about marriage.
At this time, Zhao Xun noticed the old lady's expression, and he asked a little uneasily: "Mother, will you let her come?" ”
"Bring it and talk about it." Qin Yuzhen replied.
Zhao Jiaren couldn't help but laugh. This logic is so interesting, people are coming, where is there a saying that they are not allowed to come. With Qin Yuzhen's personality, at most, she left the table halfway, but she would not drive people away.
Zhao Xun then asked Zhao Jiaren, "Dad." When are you available? ”
"How about today, if you're fast enough, you can invite the girl over for lunch. We can start the meal later. ”
After hearing this, Zhao Xun's face immediately showed joy, "Really? ”
Zhao Jiaren nodded, "You go now." If the little lady of that house refuses to come, you should come back and give a letter. ”
As soon as Zhao Xun left, Qin Yuzhen couldn't help but complain, "Where are you in such a hurry." ”
"When I was young, I once made a lot of money, and I wanted to treat my mother to a meal. You also know that my mother is very decent, I thought that I would have to have a big feast, but I didn't expect my mother to say four words at that time, how is it today. We went to a liquor store, but we didn't eat anything terrible. But I was in a good mood that day and had a lot of fun eating. After that time, I realized what it means to pick up the sun rather than hit the sun. ”
“…… Sure enough, decent. Qin Yuzhen said in a low voice. After a moment of silence, she asked, "Then should I go and prepare again?" ”
"No, I don't. You're good-looking, and you're good-looking all the time. I think you've looked better in the past two years. ”
"That's pearl powder useful."
"Pearl powder on my face can't look as good as you."
Although he knew that Zhao Jiaren was amused, Qin Yuzhen still smiled, and then said, "The pearl powder is running out." ”
Zhao Jiaren has always felt that the problems that can be solved with money are not problems, and his wife's request is so specific that he immediately responded: "I'll buy some more from Liu Meng." Pearls were also produced on farms in the Wa Kingdom. You can try both and feel which one is better for you. ”
Qin Yuzhen wanted to give Zhao Jiaren a smile, but she didn't laugh. She was silent for a moment, and suddenly her eyes turned red. Zhao Jiaren wanted to hold Qin Yuzhen's hand, but Qin Yuzhen pushed Zhao Jiaren's hand away, "I think I'm really old." In the past, I just wanted to look more beautiful when I put on rouge lipstick, but now I use pearl powder, ginseng, and He Shou Wu. If you hadn't resolutely refused, I'm afraid I'd have used a lot of so-called home remedies. I did so much just to make myself age a little slower. ”
As a psychiatrist, Zhao Jiaren was speechless about this. As you age, feeling that your body is aging, the body itself can make people feel panic. Especially for women, the so-called menopausal syndrome is a decrease in the secretion of various hormones caused by aging, which is a constant warning to the brain. The brain naturally feels panicked by this warning. This has nothing to do with IQ and EQ, when panic is the feeling of the physical existence of the body, it is simply an impossible task to resist by relying on psychology alone.
Zhao Jiaren originally wanted to give some scientific knowledge to help his wife understand this. Thinking about it later, I actually talked about everything I could, and even women in the 21st century don't lack this kind of knowledge, but what should I do when I get older? At this time, he has to adopt a materialist attitude, acknowledging the primacy of matter, and acknowledging that matter plays a leading role in spirit.
Not long after, Qin Yuzhen suddenly smiled. This smile is like rain passing through the sky, "San Lang, do you think Erlang can really bring back the little lady this time?" ”
"Why do you say that?"
"That little lady must be from Hangzhou, and when she arrives at our door, she will probably be frightened."
"It depends on whether the little lady really likes Erlang, if she likes it, she has to come in if she is afraid. If we were to go to her house and the GIs would surround her house, it would be even more terrifying. Why don't you come to our house? ”
"Not necessarily. When we were about to get married, you mobilized thousands of people into Quanzhou City to slaughter Pu Shougeng's family, and I didn't think there was anything to be afraid of. As long as it is in her own home and the army is ours, the little lady will not be afraid. ”
Talking about the reassuring current situation and the past, the husband and wife quickly recovered. Qin Yuzhen suddenly remembered something, "Erlang is really reckless in doing things. He said that a little lady likes to eat dishes. We're so prepared. ”
"If he can bring people back, it's a perfect score. Just let him go. Zhao Jiaren sighed.
