Chapter 751: If something is abnormal, it is a demon

"Your Majesty, what is it that makes you so happy?"

When Shen Ao entered Wenjing Pavilion, his eyes fell on the map on the ground, and he couldn't help but smile, quietly sat down, and asked slowly while Zhao Ji was distracted. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info/./.

Zhao Ji came back to his senses, glanced at Shen Ao, and couldn't help but smile lightly: "I've been waiting for you for a long time, come, show you something." He turned around and picked up a copy of the imperial case and handed it to Shen Ao's hand.

Shen Ao only glanced at it, closed the song, and said: "The minister Song Shu handed over by the Great Food Country, why is it recommended by the Great Yue Kingdom?" That's a surprise. ”

Zhao Ji didn't care, and said: "The big cannibals may feel that they are angry, but they sent them at this time, and I can't treat them lightly, if they have the heart to accept my Great Song Dynasty's Muhua, the Great Song Dynasty will also make the appearance of the Heavenly Empire, this text version is provided by Tieba, only for learning and exchange, please do not use it for commercial purposes." ”

Unlike Zhao Ji, who was immersed in conjecture, Shen Ao frowned, the Great Food Country has always been the hegemon across Asia, Africa and Europe, and its national strength is not below the Great Song Dynasty. On the one hand, it controlled the passage of silk trade between the East and the West, on the other hand, the sea trade was also extremely developed, if it were not for the sudden rise of the sea trade in the Great Song Dynasty in recent years, the sea trade alone, the Great Cannibal was much stronger than the Great Song Dynasty, and even had the experience of using the fleet to fight many times, and did not have to look up to the snort of the Great Song Dynasty like the countries of the South Seas. But at this time, the sudden proclamation of vassalism is really an undignified thing for the great cannibal caliph.

They...... What's the plan?

Shen Ao vaguely remembered a lot of news from Quanzhou, and gradually had some impressions in his mind. At the same time that the Great Song Dynasty's maritime trade began to dump in the South Seas, there was also a crisis on the side of the Great Cannibals. In fact, long before the Great Song Dynasty and Nanyang trade, the Great Cannibals had a very close connection with the Nanyangs, especially the Great Food Merchants, who were almost all over the entire Nanyang, and even in Quanzhou, it was also the main area where the Great Cannibals were entrenched.

On the one hand, the shipping capacity of the Great Song Dynasty has gradually increased, making the maritime trade once monopolized by the Great Cannibals begin to waver. On the other hand, the increasing number of goods in the Great Song Dynasty also made many of the goods of the Great Cannibal unsalable. Under the strong pressure of competition with the Great Song Dynasty, the Great Cannibals, who originally only sold blankets and other goods, had to start competing with the Great Song Dynasty, learning some of the skills of the Great Song Dynasty in textiles, pottery, and ironware, and selling them to Nanyang.

As a result, in the whole Nanyang, there was a situation of competition between Britain and France in later generations, the Great Song Dynasty and the Great Cannibals in order to compete, constantly lowered the price of goods, although the Great Cannibals were far less than the Great Song Dynasty, their goods were relatively rude, but the price was cheaper, and it did steal a lot of business from the maritime merchants in Quanzhou.

Coupled with the fact that the Great Eclipse has taken control of a lot of land in northern India through its invasion of India, it can be said that the Great Cannibal's influence on the South Seas is not small.

If there are two dynasties in the world that are the most powerful and prosperous in the world, and the culture is also the most prosperous, then in addition to the Great Song Dynasty, only the Great Food Country can stand out.

Suddenly, the original competitor is now a subordinate, which is really elusive.

Shen Ao was confused, and really didn't understand the behavior of the Great Eclipse, so he said to Zhao Ji: "Your Majesty, did they personally send a messenger to deliver it?" ”

Zhao Ji said with a smile: "It was the king of the Great Yue Kingdom who delivered it on his behalf, and the messenger of the Great Cannibal is now in Zhancheng, as long as I issue the Golden Book of State, they will go north to discuss with me." ”

Shen Ao nodded, and had no choice but to say: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, if the Great Cannibal is a vassal and destroys the Jurchens at that time, then my Great Song Dynasty will definitely be a scene of all countries coming to court." ”

Zhao Ji's horizons have also broadened a lot now, and he can't help but smile: "This trip to Quanzhou, the International Exhibition is only secondary, and it is the right thing to appease the states, I can trust you, don't be negligent." ”

Shen Ao nodded, and saw with great interest that there was an elegant weekly on the imperial case, and the weekly magazine happened to turn to the last page, presumably Zhao Ji had just read it. In fact, the sub-page of the Grace Weekly is very interesting, a publication is about 16 pages, in addition to the stories, poems, and local customs, this last page is the anecdotes of various states, such as the customs of the Yue Kingdom, the anecdotes of the Tangut people, and the various observations of the Nanyang countries.

Originally, in the hearts of the people of the Great Song Dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty was the world, and at most Western Xia, Dali, and Khitan were added. However, the promotion of weekly magazines has gradually broadened people's horizons a lot, coupled with the rise of maritime trade, more and more people go to sea, and those barbarian states that used to think that they were far away in the world have also attracted the attention of many people.

Although Zhao Ji is deep in the deep palace, he is not immune to its influence, and occasionally he can say the names of countries such as Three Buddhas, Zhenla, and Bagan.

When Shen Ao thought of this, he suddenly felt that his arrival was not a bad thing, people's horizons were broadened, a new world was discovered, and due to the more frequent exchanges, it had a great impact on the direction of the entire country.

Shen Ao walked over and picked up the weekly, the last page of today's weekly magazine is written about the Buddhism of the Zhenla country, the Zhenla country is different from the Great Song Dynasty Buddhism, but Buddhism is indeed more prosperous than the Great Song Dynasty, Buddhism has already been established as the state religion, greatly promoted, some time ago, there was a group of Zhenla monks who came from afar, built a Zhenla Temple in Quanzhou, the rules and Buddhist scriptures in the temple are somewhat different from the Great Song Dynasty, and the monks in it explain the Buddhist scriptures differently. Therefore, this weekly magazine specially published a special feature to list the differences between the Great Song Dynasty and Zhenla Buddhism, so as to attract people's attention.

It is said that because of this, several Zen masters in Suzhou and Hangzhou have planned to leave for Quanzhou to learn from the Zen masters of Zhenla.

Shen Ao couldn't help but laugh and said, "Now the monk is not willing to be lonely. ”

Zhao Ji was full of interest, he used to be interested in the art of immortality Huang Lao, but he was not in the mood for reincarnation, so he said with a little joking: "It's good to fight, it is said that they are Hinayana Buddhism, and my Great Song is Mahayana Buddhism. Zhao Ji said suddenly: "Do the big cannibals believe in Mahayana Buddha or Hinayana Buddha?" ”

Shen Ao was stunned for a moment, then laughed secretly, and said, "The Great Cannibal believes in the Koran, which is different from my Great Song Dynasty and other vassal states. ”

Zhao Ji smiled faintly and said: "The world is full of wonders, since it is necessary to argue, it is better to let the big cannibals also fight, and let their Zen masters also talk about their truth." ”

Shen Ao rolled his eyes, thinking to himself, this is a monotheistic religion, who will debate with you? It's all done directly. He pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "Your Majesty, this matter, the minister will take a look at it." ”

Zhao Ji suddenly said a little gloomily: "I feel more and more uncomfortable, such a big event, I really want to go and take a look." Go and see the envoys of the various vassal countries, and see their customs and customs, if you can't go now, you won't have a chance in the future. He sat down and said very melancholy: "I had a dream last night, and I dreamed that I went to Quanzhou. ”

Zhao Ji's face became calm again, and said: "Sometimes it's really not interesting to be this emperor, I really want to leave everything behind, leave everything behind, go to learn from that brother, and do a ridiculous thing." ”

His brother was the King of Jin, and Shen Ao couldn't help but feel pantothenic when he thought that the King of Jin was going to follow him on his honeymoon. At this time, I saw Zhao Ji with a stunned look, and I couldn't help but be moved, this is already a dying old man, what's wrong with taking a walk and taking a look? What is the law of the court? Could it be that going out for a walk will also bring disaster to the country and the people?

Shen Ao couldn't help but say, "If Your Majesty really wants to go, then let's go." ”

Zhao Ji's eyes flashed with a hint of hope, glanced at Shen Ao, and said, "I'm afraid that the courtiers will stop me." ”

Shen Ao pondered for a moment and said: "This bad guy will let Wechen do it, Wechen will come to the last one when the time comes, even if someone scolds him, it's a big deal to scold Weichen, anyway, I'm already notorious, and I don't care about such a crime." ”

Zhao Ji said: "The Son of Heaven is lucky, will it cost the people and money?" ”

Shen Ao said: "A faint monarch like Emperor Yang of Sui, where he passed, supervised the construction of dragon boats, built a palace, and entouraged 100,000 people, covering the clouds and the sun, it would naturally cost the people and money. However, if Your Majesty is simple in everything, and only brings 3,000 guards casually, and does not have to care about housing and transportation, and orders all localities not to welcome and send, where can you start with the words "Labor and money"? ”

Zhao Ji cheered up and said, "Yes, what you said is not wrong, I will go this time, everything is simple, but ......" He pondered for a while, and said to Shen Ao: "I will not go with you this time." ”

Shen Aohu said suspiciously: "Who will you go with Weichen if you don't go with Weichen?" ”

Zhao Ji smiled and said: "Usually you gave me the idea, but today I have a way, you go to Quanzhou first, and then instigate the envoys of the vassal kings of various countries to go up, just say that the vassal ministers of various countries gather, and I am eager to come to Quanzhou in person to meet with the princes." As soon as I say this, there is an excuse, I am the Son of Heaven, and I follow Emperor Taizong to appease the vassal state, who can say irresponsible things? Even if someone opposes it, I have my own way. ”

Shen Ao saw that Zhao Ji had put on a radiant appearance again, and couldn't help but wonder, did I fall for it? Does this count as playing the emotional card to fool me?

After scolding in his heart, Shen Ao said: "When Weichen arrived in Quanzhou, he naturally arranged it for His Majesty." ”

Zhao Ji had a heart, and his mood became extraordinarily hearty, and he said excitedly: "I heard that Quanzhou is surrounded by mountains and seas, and the scenery there must be magnificent, when I go, I want to compete with you to try painting skills, if you say landscape painting, I can't get as good as you, but if you want to talk about flowers and birds, you can only compare with me at most, I went to Quanzhou, figure it out, landscape painting will definitely be able to catch up with you." ”

Shen Ao listened to his bold words, and said with a triumphant smile: "If Your Majesty is interested, why don't we make a bet?" ”

Zhao Ji immediately waved his hand and said: "I don't bet with you, you are full of scheming, I will definitely lose." ”

Shen Ao was speechless, if he said that the person who knew him best in the world, he was afraid that only Zhao Ji would be the only one, so he said: "Don't gamble, Weichen will leave for the time being, and meet Your Majesty in Quanzhou when the time comes." ”

Coming out of Wenjing Pavilion, Shen Aochang let out a long breath, and always felt that he seemed to be surrounded by Zhao Ji today, so that his brain was hot, and he actually begged the emperor to go to Quanzhou.

"Quanzhou...... "Big food ......" Shen Ao suddenly remembered the strange recital, and was puzzled for a while, something is abnormal, it is a demon, this recital is definitely not simple, there must be something greasy.

After thinking about it for a while, I had no clue, and I had already left the palace unconsciously. Shen Ao got on the horse, wandered around the long street with the attendants, and arrived at a downtown area, where he saw a huge door face bustling with people from a distance, and there were plaques such as 'Quanzhou, Suzhou and Hangzhou' hanging on the door. Shen Ao couldn't help but let go of his horse and said to the lieutenant behind him, "What kind of shop is this?" Why haven't you seen it before? ”

The lieutenant behind him said with a smile: "This is called a craftsman's shop, now there is a shortage of craftsmen everywhere in Suzhou, Hangzhou, and Quanzhou, so some people started to make a living, set up this craftsman shop in various prefectures and roads, and post the people who need to be recruited, such as carpenters, masons, etc., and the wages of hiring, if there are craftsmen willing to go there to do things, they will immediately prepare carriages and horses to take to Quanzhou, Suzhou and Hangzhou, and the carriage and horse fees all the way are provided by this craftsman's shop, but when they get to the place where they are hired, they have to pay the carriage and horse fees to the craftsman's shop, and it is said that this business is profitable. There are quite a few such shops. ”

Another lieutenant said with a smile: "Actually, the real profit of this craftsman shop is not to introduce craftsmen, hehe, His Highness must be interested in saying it." ”
