Not long after the topic of the three princes subsided, the Jingzhao officials were lively again. It turned out that the delegation that sent Xiyan in July returned to Jingzhao, and the mission, business group and other mighty groups of people lined the atmosphere of Jingzhao New Year a little lively.

On the day when the mission returned to Jingzhao, Qian Tongshi, the Zhengqing of Honglu Temple, and Changzhi, the official of Honglu Temple, took the officials of Honglu Temple to greet them at the city gate in person to show their solemnity. In addition to Honglu Temple, several officials from the Ministry of War also came, and they came for Xu Shenxing.

The mission has been away from Jingzhao for more than five months, a long time, this is the first time that Dayong has sent an envoy to Xiyan for many years, and now that they have finally returned, the officials of Honglu Temple are also quite excited, and even Emperor Changtai in the imperial city are anxiously waiting for Fang Congzhe's report.

Fang Congzhe took the delegation into the palace to meet Emperor Changtai, handed over the festival charm and the letter of state to Emperor Changtai, and then briefly introduced the results of the envoy Xiyan, procedurally speaking, this mission was completed.

Overall, the harvest of this mission was also very rich. The envoys of the Ministry of Rites and the Guozijian also had friendly exchanges with the officials of the Xiyan, and they also had a deeper understanding of each other's customs and culture; The Dayong merchant group also sold tea, medicinal materials, silk and other specialties in Yandu, and the harvest was also quite rich; Of course, the officials of the Ministry of Industry have also harvested a lot of seeds from Xiyan, and they are ready to study and study it in Dayong to prevent the recurrence of the situation of last year's ignorance of durian.

In short, it was the successful completion of the mission of the mission, not only that, but the Dayong mission also made a majestic presence on the land of Xiyan, and brilliantly completed the purpose of spreading the prestige of the country, which is the much-talked-about Xiyan chess game, and the protagonist of Dayong's side is Shen Zeru.

Fang Congzhe told Emperor Changtai about the chess competition between Shen Zeru and Shi Lun, and Shen Zeru also showed him the golden book of the Doctor of Chess awarded to him by the Western Yan Dynasty, which once again won the approving eyes of the officials of Guozijian. Now he can be calm and calm, and he no longer has the nervousness of Xiao Dengke like last year.

"Okay, well, I raised the national prestige of my Dayong, which shows that my Dayong is still far ahead of Xiyan in terms of cultural governance." Emperor Changtai was very happy, and also decided to award Shen Zeru the title of Doctor of Chess, and the officials of the envoy were rewarded for their meritorious deeds in the spring of next year, and also specially ordered the official Mu Xiu to report on his work in the upper court on the fifth day, which made them retire.

In the Honglu Temple, Fang Congzhe was telling Qian Tongshi the details of the accident, and added a lot of information that could not be explained to Emperor Changtai above the court, such as how many gifts from Xiyan he received in private, such as how many times the two sides have discussed and improved in order to agree on the details of the joint dispatch, such as what the envoys have performed in this mission, and summarized the significance and harvest of this mission, and concluded the shortcomings and experience of the envoy arrangement.

Qian Tongshi couldn't help but be very happy when he heard Shen Zeru's performance in chess. He has always advocated that when he should be arrogant towards Xiyan, he must be arrogant, and his arrogance must be swept away like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves. Remembering that Shen Zeru was Shen Huashan's nephew, there were really a lot of capable people in this Shen family, he thought secretly.

Shen Zeru was not idle during the five days of Mu Xiu. In the first two days, I fell into bed and slept heavily, as if I had to sleep enough for more than five months of hard work before I stopped.

In fact, there are imperial doctors and guards in the mission, but it will not be very hard, the key is that the heart is tired, the distance is long, and the effort is exhausted, so Shen Zeru didn't even move much, so he slept like this for two days, which made his wife Shen Chen also worried. Fortunately, after resting for two days, his spirit came back, and it took two more days to sort out the luggage brought back by Xiyan and sort out the context of Xiyan's affairs, and on the last day, he took Xiyan's specialties to Shen's house on Jingtai Street, and told Shen Zejing and others about Xiyan.

Shen Jihe and Shen Yuyi will stay in Xiyan in the future, and they don't know when they will be able to come back. Regarding this point, Shen Zeyuan has already explained to the Wang family, he sent Shen Yuyi to Xining Dao to do business, and I am afraid that he will not be able to come back for a year and a half, so that she does not have to worry about her son. The Wang family also knew that the Shen family had business affairs in Xining Dao, except for some worries about Shen Yuyi's health, she did not suspect it.

"So, they're from Xiyan now?" Shen Zeyuan asked, Shen Yuyi was his youngest son, he still felt uneasy, and repeatedly asked Shen Zeru about the household registration documents, until Shen Zeru repeatedly assured that there would be no problems with the household registration documents, and he stopped the topic.

Shen Zejing also thought that if the two of them wanted to open up the situation in Xiyan, they would have to go through a lot of hardships and hardships, and the weight of this task could not be explained clearly in one or two sentences. Although he didn't know why his father had to establish a stronghold in Xiyan, thinking that things had come to this point, Shen Zejing would definitely do all this according to his father's wishes.

"Have all the channels for receiving and delivering messages been arranged?" Shen Zejing didn't say it to Shen Zeru this time, but asked Shen Yuhong instead, he was responsible for taking care of the affairs of Ruliu, and it was his job to answer and deliver the news.

"It's been arranged, the manpower left by the second uncle in the Xining Mutual Market has been counted, and the mutual market will be guarded every seven days, if there is news from Xiyan's side, it can be sent back in time." Besides, the third uncle is also there in Lingnan, even if there is anything, he can turn it around in time. Shen Yuhong replied.

In October, Shen Zeyuan and Yan Shang went to Xining Dao for the second medicinal material trade, and the personnel from Ruliu went with them, and they also left people in Xining Dao Mutual Market to be responsible for the reception, as long as Shen Ji and everything over there are safe, there will definitely be no problems here.

"Zexue and Yu Zhang's people who followed Hu's Anhetang have already set off to return to Jiangnan, and there are still some business matters to tell Uncle Deshan, if there are other arrangements at that time, they will come." Shen Zeru thought about it, and then said about Shen Zexue and Shen Yuzhang, originally he left them in Jingzhao for the New Year, but they insisted on going back.

"It doesn't matter, the manpower on Xiyan's side will definitely not change in the past few years, it's too difficult to get a household registration paperwork, and it is not yet time to use Zexue and Yu Zhang. They kept the box of silver tickets, right? Shen Zeru nodded. Speaking of silver tickets, it was Shen Zeyuan's business, he thought that those two people must be very difficult in Xiyan, and there were many places to use money, so he planned to prepare more silver taels and find a way to send them through the merchants of the mutual market.
