Chapter 248: Arrive at Xingqing City

The Venerable Master went to the letter to the sixth prince while looking for the killer, with only one purpose, if the prince did not support it, then he asked the killer to deal with Ma Hanshan. In a word, he wants Ma Hanshan to die, otherwise, he will not be able to recover the face of Shaoguangbao who fell to the ground.

Just when the Venerable Master was busy "dispatching troops" to deal with Ma Hanshan, he had already entered Xingqing City with the team of the envoys.

Now, he is just a personal entourage of Bi Liancheng.

Of course, his personal entourage has also become Bi Liancheng's personal entourage, and Bai Shengxi has already said goodbye and left, the task of the "guide" is completed, and she has to rush back to the White Camel Villa.

Welcoming Bi Liancheng and his entourage was Fang Liquan, the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple in Xixia.

The countries around Dasong, no matter how big or small, have a government structure that is basically modeled after the Tang Dynasty, and the Western Xia was originally a Tang territory, and all the institutions are exactly the same as those of the Tang Dynasty. Honglu Temple Shaoqing, one of the nine Qings, the four-grade Beijing official, is also a high-ranking official.

However, it is really "impolite" to treat the envoys of Da Song to only send a Shaoqing, and only greet him outside the gate of the capital.

Of course, whether it is a country or an individual, respect is always a manifestation of strength. After Da Song ceded the land and moved south, his strength was no longer enough, and his dignity was naturally gone. Therefore, no one in the surrounding countries regards it as a central country, so naturally there is no respect.

After Fang Liquan led everyone to Honglu Temple to settle down, he was about to leave after explaining a few words, Ma Hanshan saw this, and hurriedly asked the adults to wait.

Your uncle, just throw Lao Tzu here and forget it, when the bullshit emperor summons him, you have to say something.

"Who are you? What's the matter? "Fang Liquan stopped and looked back, his face was displeased.

"Hehe, it doesn't matter who I am, the important thing is that adults should look at this document." Ma Hanshan said as he took out a stack of silver tickets and stuffed them into Fang Liquan's hand.

Eh, this product is actually a gift in public? Isn't that a bit too much?

Ma Hanshan did this, in fact, it was quite rude, not to mention that he couldn't be so rude to stop Fang Liquan as an entourage, this kind of public gift-giving practice is really embarrassing, to accept it or not to accept it?

In the area under the jurisdiction of the Xixia Country, one-third of the country is a desert, another third is a grassland, the rest is a mountainous area, and the population is not large, so the economy is really not good, it can be said to be a poor country.

Because, the official's fortune cannot be compared with the Great Song, and the Honglu Temple, although it is said to be a "diplomatic" institution of a country, is a clear water yamen, without oil and water.

Therefore, when Fang Liquan saw the stack of thousand taels of silver tickets in his hand, he was stunned, and then felt his blood boiling, he had never seen so much silver at one time, and these silver were still in his hands.

"You... What do you want? "Sometimes, money can be scary, and Fang Liquan was scared by this stack of silver tickets.

"I didn't want to do anything, just... You have worked hard to send your eldest brother out of the city to greet us, so please drink a glass of light wine. Ma Hanshan leaned on the side, approached Fang Liquan a little and whispered, "Take 20,000 points to the soldiers, and the rest is the hard work of the adults." ”

"This... That one... It's not right....... Fang Liquan grabbed a stack of silver tickets, looked back at the people below, and wanted to accept it, but was afraid that it would cause trouble.

"Thank you, Envoy ......." I don't know who took the lead, Fang Liquan hasn't said anything yet, and the dozens of soldiers and scribes who are following behind have bowed down to Mahan Mountain.

No matter what kind of military system, those who are soldiers are the most bitter, so when they heard Ma Hanshan say that they had a share of the silver tickets, everyone was excited, and the whole team was in good spirits, and even the standing posture was correct.

"Then thank you, Ambassador." At this time, Fang Liquan didn't dare to say that he would not accept it, unless he took out the silver himself and distributed it to the entourage of these envoys.

Mahanshan smiled and hugged his fist at him, then retreated into the queue.

40,000 taels of silver, so it was spent, Ma Hanshan smiled brightly, but in his heart he scolded himself for being a loser.

Fang Liquan left with his people, and Ma Hanshan was drinking tea in the room of the envoy Bi, he was thinking, will the 40,000 taels of silver be spent a little profit?

"Brother Ma Xian, why do you bother to give gifts to those Xixia people?" Bi Liancheng was a little heartbroken for tens of thousands of taels of silver, in his opinion, Xixia was just a traitor, and as the messenger of Da Song, he didn't need to pay attention to the Shaoqing of a mere Honglu Temple.

"Hehe, Brother Bi, for the study of human nature, the younger brother still has a little experience. That's right, a Shaoqing, especially the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, does not have power, and spending money on him may not be rewarded. However, it is very easy for these people who have no power to do bad things. Spend a little money without expecting anything in return, just ask them not to make it bad. Ma Hanshan smiled and said.

Little people tend to become big things or bad things, not to mention, the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, the official of Sipin Jingguan, is not a small official.

Fang Liquan, who is stuck in the position of the "Ministry of Foreign Affairs", wants him to help or do something, it should be impossible, he is even willing and powerless. However, this kind of person who has the heart to help is easy when he wants to help.

"Well, anyway, the silver belongs to the virtuous brother." Bi Liancheng smiled and said.

"Haha, this is a loan from my younger brother to Brother Bi, I just sent it out on Brother Bi's behalf. Brother Bi, after being promoted and making a fortune, don't forget your little brother.

"What? What did you say... Is the money you spent lent to me? Oh, my God... How do you know that this can be done, I don't agree with ....... "Bi Liancheng is really anxious, hum, such a loan.

Hehe, there really is, all the usurers in the world borrow like this.

"It's useless if you don't agree, Bi Laoshuai agrees." Ma Hanshan smiled faintly, "Now, take a break, after resting, let everyone tidy up their belongings and be ready to enter the palace at any time." ”

"Brother Xian, do you think the Xixia Emperor will meet us tomorrow?" Bi Lian brought the conversation back to business.

"I don't think it's going to be that fast, I think it's going to be three or four days at the earliest." Han Shan smiled and said, "In the past two days, we happened to visit the important ministers of Xixia. ”

"Hmph, what is there to visit the important ministers of the border barbarian country." Bi Liancheng said disdainfully.

"Brother Bi, you must put away this mentality. As the so-called situation is stronger than people, now, it is Da Song who has a request for Xixia, so the posture is correct, otherwise he will do something wrong, and he will not only not be able to get promoted to the official and make a fortune when he goes back, but it is very likely that even the small hat will be taken off. Ma Hanshan said very seriously.

"Okay, listen to Brother Xian. That... Who do we start with? Their prime minister? Bi Liancheng nodded and said.

"Brother Bi, do you know that there are people in the Xixia royal family who have always wanted to usurp the throne and seize power?" Ma Han hasn't figured out who to worship first, he has to study it carefully, not only for Long Guangning's business, but also for his own business.

Although the population of Xixia Country is not very large, it is also a country after all, and the consumption capacity of high-end products may not be good, but some livelihood products and rigid demand still have to be done. The most important thing is that the domestic glass in Xixia is now the best quality outside of the big food, whether it is to buy or sell, since it is here, it has to be well arranged.

The so-called layout of Mahanshan is not to open a few stores or anything, but to the layout of contacts.

For his own products, no matter which one, Ma Hanshan does not worry about selling, as long as it is made, someone will carry the silver to buy it. Even so, Ma Hanshan has been spending a lot of money to manage his own network.

With its own network of contacts and its own news channels, you can make money even if you don't have a product, but if you only have a product, there is no network and no information, and there will always be a time when a new product becomes an old product.

"Which country or dynasty does not fight for power? Brother Xian, you don't want to get involved in these things in the Xixia Kingdom, do you? Bi Liancheng looked at Ma Hanshan and said, "Don't be a brother, you can mix anything, and the battle for imperial power is the most dangerous." ”

"Brother Bi, there are many things, it's not that you don't want to mix them up, there are some things that you don't want to stick to it and it will stick to you." Of course, Ma Hanshan didn't want to get involved in other people's seizure of the throne, but when things came up, he was never afraid of things. He took a puff of his cigarette, squinted his eyes and said to Bi Liancheng, "Brother Bi, do you know who attacked us in Shaoguang Fort?" ”

"They... Are they from the West Gorge? Bi Liancheng asked in surprise.

"It's the people of the sixth prince of Donghu and the imperial uncle of Xixia, Brother Bi, these two bastards want to usurp the throne and seize power, so they don't allow Dasong to make friends with Donghu Xixia, so they want to kill us, and then let Dasong and Dongxixia fight."

"Ahh They... How could they do such a thing? Isn't this a favor for Beimeng? Isn't this a toss for your own people? For the sake of power, they don't care about anything? Bi Liancheng exclaimed.

"Hehe, Brother Bi is very poisoned." Ma Hanshan smiled helplessly.

Although Bi Liancheng is not a scholar in the forest, he is a person of this era after all, and he has also read the so-called sage books, so the sage's thoughts are still deep in the bone marrow, and he always likes to ignore evil and infinitely magnify good.

He couldn't understand that in the eyes of some people, everything was fake except for interests. Anything can be sacrificed and discarded for the sake of profit. Morality and law are just tools they use to sanction others.

"Foolish brother poisoned?" Bi Liancheng was inexplicable.

"Haha, I'm joking, let's do it, I'll study it later, see who I want to visit first, and then discuss it with Brother Bi." Ma Hanshan was ready to go back to his room to meditate, Nima, there is no common language, it is difficult to talk.

"Report ......." As soon as Ma Hanshan finished speaking, Bi Liancheng had not yet spoken, and the voice of 258 sounded at the door.

"What?" Ma Hanshan stood up and said.

"Young master, someone asked for a post." 258 handed a post to Mahanshan.

"Haha, that's great, I don't have to worry about who to visit now...... Ma Hanshan took the post and looked at it, but it turned out to be a post sent by an old acquaintance, Ye Lucai. Ma Hanshan frowned, and said secretly, "This Yelucai claims to be the largest merchant in the North Mengdonghu of the West Gorge, but it is just to see if he is worthy of his name." ”

In the evening, Ma Hanshan dressed neatly and took Xiaoyue and 147 to the most famous Xingqing Building in the Western Xia Capital.
