After a walk around Jinye Pond, Ma Jin returned to the Heart Cultivation Hall with a complicated mind.

It seems that this world is far more complicated than I imagined, and all demons and monsters really exist. Maybe if he hadn't crossed over. It is really possible that the world of this Great Zhou will be torn apart, and the demons will spread cholera! Ma Jin couldn't help but sigh.

But he's here now.

This Great Zhou is now his, how can he let Great Zhou continue to erode, you must know that he is a systematic man!

Thinking of the system, Ma Jin couldn't help but settle down, and a thousand heroes rose in his heart, and the Great Zhou Empire would definitely be carried forward in his hands.

After pondering for a while, Ma Jin said to Wang Chengen, who was standing beside him.

"Ome, go and deliver the decree immediately! This batch of new science and technology scholars is temporarily suspended from entering the ministry to observe the government, so let them go home to visit their relatives first, and you go to tell the Ministry of Rites Shangshu to send someone to the hometown of the new science and technology jinshi to report the good news! Go to the newspaper with great fanfare! ”

"And you sent a letter to the cabinet, and after sending a letter to the local government and county, all those who are in the middle of the rank will be exempted from the conscription issued by their families, as a source of encouragement!"

Wang Chengen hurriedly bowed down to receive the order, and turned around to give the order.

"Wait, does Di Huaiying have a piece to present?"

"Your Majesty, there has been no news from Jingzhou yet."

Ma Jin listened to Wang Chengen's recital, and asked him to pass the decree after a sigh of gratitude.

Di Renjie and the others have been gone for almost half a month, and they should be in Jingzhou now, and I don't know what surprises this Di Fat will bring to me.

In a few days, it will be the birthday of the Queen Mother, although in the past few days, the envoys of the Heishui Kingdom, the Moke Kingdom, the Xichen Kingdom, the Feng Kingdom, the Xiliang Kingdom, the Jiannan Kingdom, the Yan Kingdom and other countries have also come to the Shendu, but in Ma Jin's eyes, they are just a handful of small countries, far less important than the Great Song Kingdom, because the wealth of the Great Song Kingdom makes Ma Jin a little salivating, after all, it is not blown, this Great Song Kingdom is really rich!

In Ma Jin's opinion, among the four kingdoms of the Eastern Regions, the Song State is indeed weaker, and it is not half a star and a half. Especially when the Liao State was eyeing each other, how could the Song State not be worried?

Ma Jin guessed that the reason why the Song State sent envoys was that it was anxious to form an alliance with the Great Zhou, and the alliance with the Great Zhou could also contain the Liao State and make the Liao State a rat trap.

This Song State aimed at the powerful military power of the Great Zhou, why didn't Ma Jin take a fancy to the wealth of the Song Kingdom?

If Song Guo really has the idea of joining forces, then presumably it is understandable for Ma Jin to borrow a little money from them to spend it, right?

……

A day later, Bi Yong, the envoy of the Song State, and the envoys of Chen, Yan and other countries were summoned by Ma Jin on the same day.

On the morning of early autumn, there was some mist shrouded over this majestic Taiji palace city, and at the base of the Shenwu Gate, there were already the cars of the envoys of other countries waiting there, accompanied by officials of the Ministry of Rites to talk to the envoys. When they heard the sound of ruts, they turned their heads and looked at the car slowly approaching in the mist with curiosity or indifference.

"Well, it's the envoy of the Song State who is coming...... "The secretary of the Ministry of Rites is responsible for entertaining the envoys of various countries here, and when he saw the car, he recognized that it was the car of the envoy of the Song State, so he took two officials from the Ministry of Rites to greet him, "Your envoy, please come down ......"

Bi Yong lifted the curtain, showed a kind smile, and said, "There is Lord Lao Zhu......

Zhu Guozhi smiled slightly and said: "Don't dare to be, this is a matter within the next division, Your Majesty specially instructed us to take care of the noble envoys, how dare you not take it to heart?" Wait a minute, the summoned chamberlain is coming, and the envoy will take a break and wait here for a while......"

"Good ......" Bi Yong got out of the car with the support of his subordinates, and looked at the dozens of envoys and their entourage in front of him, waiting for the Great Zhou Emperor to summon him.

At this time, the envoy of the Black Water Kingdom, who was wearing a black fur coat, white skin and hair, and a hooked nose, saw Zhu Guozhi and the two coming over, he glanced at Bi Yong, and then flattered Zhu Guozhi next to him: "Lord Zhu, when will the Son of Heaven summon me and wait?" I can't wait to bow to God. ”

The envoys of the rest of the countries also stepped forward one after another to say yes, saying that they wanted to bow to the face of heaven, so that Bi Yong could see the complexity of life and envy, you must know that the envoys of those countries who went to their Song Kingdom were like uncles, and they were all above the top, showing off their might, how could they grovel one by one like these envoys, this is the real kingdom of the Heavenly Empire.

I only heard Zhu Guozhi patiently said: "Envoys don't need to worry, Your Majesty must finish washing before summoning you, and please wait patiently for a while......

At this time, the Shenwu Gate finally opened, and a little eunuch came out of it, followed by a thousand cow guards with helmets and armor, glanced at the envoys of various countries, and said in a sharp voice: "Your Majesty has a decree, the envoys of the Xuan Song Kingdom are here!" ”

"Your Majesty Xuan Song State envoys are here!" The little eunuch bowed slightly to Bi Yong and said, "Noble envoy, please come with our family......"

Bi Yong straightened his clothes, and then said to the little eunuch: "It's hard to ...... you."

The little eunuch bowed humbly and said, "Don't dare to be, your envoy ......, please." ”

Bi Yong followed the little eunuch into the Shenwu Gate.

The inner palace road of Shenwu Gate is extremely spacious, the palace walls on both sides stand majestically, the little eunuch silently leads the way in front, and more than a dozen thousand Niu guards in the back follow behind with knives.

The little eunuch led Bi Yong through the long corridors and halls.

The road was solemn and silent.

This made this large palace look very empty, and a mountain of majesty hung over his head all the time, as if it would be pressed down at any time!

As the prime minister of the Song State, Bi Yong was also deeply trusted by the Song Lord in the Song State, and he was summoned to enter and leave the palace many times, but there was no time when there was such a sense of oppression, and the depressed people didn't even dare to breathe loudly, Bi Yong secretly clenched his fists.

On this cold day, a lot of cold sweat broke out behind his back.

The little eunuch led Bi Yong to the Ganlu Palace, and Ma Jin was already waiting in the Ganlu Palace.

Ma Jin sat on the throne in a formal crown of twelve chapters, and a vague silhouette could be vaguely seen under the cover of the bead curtain.

As soon as Bi Yong saw the figure, he bowed down and bowed: "Bi Yong, the envoy of the Song State, has come to meet His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty with the letter of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty!" ”

Ma Jin looked at the white-haired old man, raised his hand slightly, and said, "Your envoy is exempt from courtesy...... Bi Yong got up, and only then did he dare to look directly at the young Lord of the Great Zhou.

How to say it, more than ten zhang away, and Ma Jin was wearing an imperial crown, and the bead curtain hung down, Bi Yong couldn't see what he looked like, but could only vaguely see a delicate and angular outline.

The figure is obviously not very tall, but sitting there is like a mountain towering, which makes people look up. Bi Yong couldn't help but feel in his heart: "The emperor should be like this!" "Feelings.

Immediately, Bi Yong quietly lowered his head, looking directly at the Son of Heaven is a great disrespectful sin.

Ma Jin looked Bi Yong up and down for a moment, and then said: "Your envoy has come from Lin'an, it must have been very hard, and I already know the meaning of your envoy'......"

At this time, Bi Yong's heart secretly rose, and Ma Jin continued: "I can promise to form an alliance with the Song State, but what can the Song State give me Da Zhou?" ”

Ma Jin went straight to the point, and there was no extra politeness at all, Rao is Bi Yong had already made sufficient preparations and felt caught off guard.

Bi Yong was stunned for a moment, then bowed down and replied: "I can give five million stone ...... of grain and grass to Da Zhou for free."

Ma Jin laughed "heh" and said, "Five million stone grain? Your country is a little too small. ”

The corners of Bi Yong's eyes twitched, and he secretly complained that five million stones was less? It's enough for millions of people to eat for more than half a year. But he still stubbornly said: "If Your Majesty thinks that it is still not enough, my Song Kingdom can support another six million taels of silver for free." Hearing Bi Yong's words, Ma Jin couldn't help twitching in his heart, this Song Kingdom is really rich, and he looks like a local tyrant. Millions of stones of grain were delivered, which made Ma Jin a little jealous.

"Conditions?" Ma Jin asked directly, he didn't bother to say anything else, he couldn't afford to hurt the local tyrants.

Ma Jin's successive questions made Bi Yong's head a mess, and he really wanted to yell, why don't you play your cards according to common sense? What about routine etiquette? Greetings? made Bi Yong unable to say anything in his stomach, and he couldn't say anything in his heart. But he didn't dare not answer, so he had to bow down and say:

"The meaning of our emperor is to ask His Majesty to support a group of demon-weary war horses to our country, and to send troops to support our country when there is an invasion of foreign enemies in our country......"

After speaking, he bowed his head and was silent, the demon weary horse is a very scarce strategic material at any time, and it is impossible to buy and sell it casually, and only Da Zhou and Da Liao can produce the demon aversion horse in large quantities in the entire Eastern Regions.

Now that the Song State and the Liao State are at loggerheads, the number of war horses in other small countries is limited, and it is impossible to buy and sell them in large quantities. Song Guo can only choose Da Zhou, it depends on whether Da Zhou is willing to buy it, or even if Song Guo offers a sky-high price, he doesn't know where to buy it.
