Chapter 402: Discussing Going to Sea
Seeing Chao Heng walking downstairs, Changsun Chong was stunned with chopsticks, forgetting the food for a while, Chao Heng was really nervous just now, did he want to cover up? Should I believe Li Yong or should I believe in Chaoheng? Li Yong is indeed inexplicably not dealing with the Japanese people, so what Li Yong said is a lie? Deliberately causing trouble for the Wa Kingdom? It's unlikely, because after having the chart, it is not difficult to go to the Wa Kingdom, at least Cheng Chuhei has successfully arrived in the Wa Kingdom, and then returned smoothly, so, if Li Yong tells a lie, then his lie will be exposed in a short time, you know, at that time, it is not one person or two people who deceive, this is a lot of fun, and what good is this for Li Yong? What is the deep hatred between Li Yong and the Wa Kingdom? Just because I can't get used to seeing the Japanese people so big? Unless he is crazy, Chao Heng walked out of the sea, land and air restaurant, swallowed his saliva fiercely, I didn't expect the little grandfather of the dignified Zhao Guogong Mansion to be so picky, he was not even willing to invite a meal, and soon Chao Heng forgot about the food, and his heart became heavy, before he heard the people around him talking about going to sea, he had a bad premonition in his heart, but he didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, there were rumors that their country was rich in silver, so can it be called rich in silver? Isn't it just a little bit more silver? Isn't it nonsense that there is more silver than all the silver in Datang combined? How much enmity does the Marquis of Huating have with their Japanese state? Chao Heng returned to the Sifang Pavilion with a heavy heart, and then gathered everyone together.
"Today I suddenly heard a rumor that our country is rich in silver."
Chao Heng said in a deep voice.
"My lord, our country is indeed rich in silver! There are a lot of silver mines! ”
Chao Heng said with a blank look.
"However, if someone asks, you must not say, you have to say that our country has no silver at all, and our country is very poor."
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other, obviously this is not the case, why are they lying, why are they belittleing their country like this?
"Why, my lord?"
Everyone was puzzled, and Chao Heng said in a deep voice.
"Haven't you heard the latest rumors? Up to the monarchs and ministers, down to the people, are excited to build ships and go to sea, if they know that our country is rich in silver, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not have a non-point idea of our country, today's Tang Emperor is eloquent, the court's civil and military generals are the world's leaders, all have a pioneering and enterprising heart. ”
"What do you mean, my lord, that the Tang Dynasty may invade our Wa Kingdom? It can't be, right? It's possible to do business across the ocean. ”
There was a lot of talking.
"It's okay to do business! I like Datang's wine, Datang's glaze and tea, and Datang's brocade. ”
"It would be nice if Huating Hou could open the sea, land and air restaurant to our country."
"Yes, yes, when the time comes, we can also eat the food of Shanghai Lukong Restaurant, I heard that the braised pork and hot pot are very delicious."
……
Chaoheng is about to collapse, can you not keep worrying about the good things of Datang? Can you take care of the business?
"Silence! Quiet! Listen to me, we have to be vigilant, and what I just said is not alarmist, but really possible. ”
Chao Heng shouted.
"Adults are a little worried, and there are also vain self-esteem, if you want to say that the Tang Dynasty is rich, our Wa Kingdom is really not comparable, if you want to say that it is delicious and fun, our Wa Kingdom is indeed not as good as the Tang Dynasty, but in terms of the bravery of the soldiers, I think our Wa Kingdom will never lose to the Tang Dynasty."
"Yes, our warriors are much stronger than the soldiers of Datang, not to mention that we and Datang are separated by oceans, even if they are adjacent, so what?"
Everyone nodded again and again, if it is about delicious and fun, and about prosperity, then the country is not as good as the Tang Dynasty, but when it comes to bravery, they are not afraid, and Chaoheng did not refute this, and said in a deep voice.
"But it's not a big mistake to be careful, we don't need to conflict with Datang, so if someone asks you about it, then you can tell them directly, our country doesn't have any money at all, so you don't have trouble."
Someone said weakly with a small hand.
"Someone has already asked me."
Chao Heng Huo Ran turned his head and asked.
"What did you say?"
"Let's be honest! Your Excellency, you know, I, I'm an honest person. ”
The man replied weakly, Chao Heng stroked his forehead, you are honest fart, I remember that you are obviously a person who likes to brag, this is another person who weakly raised his little hand and said.
"Actually, I've been asked."
Chao Heng stroked his forehead again, it's too difficult for me, what kind of people am I bringing here? Chao Heng patted the table and said in a deep voice.
"From now on, unify it, if anyone asks again, reply uniformly, our country is not rich in silver, understand? That's an order. “
Everyone was unimpressed, but nodded anyway. Lijiazhuang, Li Yong came back with guards and guards, there were a lot fewer guards with him, but there was one more big beauty, that was Princess Zhenzhu, she naturally followed to eat, although there are already three sea, land and air restaurants in Chang'an City, but it is really difficult to get the number, and she feels that the restaurant is not as delicious as the kitchen in Lijiazhuang.
"Zhenzhu, I haven't seen you here for a few days!"
Li Li said in surprise, and Princess Zhenzhu smiled.
"I know you've been very busy these days, so I didn't bother you, and today I happened to meet Li Yong setting up a stall in the East Market, so I ......"
Li Li was stunned, as if she felt that she had heard it wrong, and asked suspiciously.
"What? Spot? ”
Princess Zhenzhu nodded violently.
"Yes, set up a stall, I also help Li Yong shout, don't miss it when you pass by, the best spices are ......"
Li Lizhi stroked her forehead slightly, she couldn't imagine that a dignified county marquis would set up a stall on the street, and a dignified princess would shout and sell on the street, can you still mess around a little more?
"Lang Jun! How can you set up a stall? ”
Li Li said angrily, Li Yong said indifferently.
"What's wrong with the stall? Who stipulates that county marquis can't set up stalls? When I came out of my hometown, I used to sell soap! ”
Princess Zhenzhu watched gloatingly from the side, she knew that Li Yong must be carrying Li Lizhen to set up a stall, Li Lizhen turned her head to look at Princess Zhenzhu and said angrily.
"And you, you're a princess, how can you shout and sell in the street?"
Princess Zhenzhu smiled.
"I'm here to help him, and it's really fun to set up a stall! You don't know, there are a lot of people around. ”
The dignified county marquis set up a stall, the princess shouted and sold, and it was strange that there were not many onlookers! Li Li stroked her forehead, she couldn't imagine that scene, Princess Zhenzhu said excitedly.
"And, it's selling fast, you know? It can be said that it was directly robbed, really, it was directly robbed of one car of spices, and two cars of spices were robbed like that, which is too exaggerated. ”
Ganlu Palace, Li Er couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he looked at the music in his hand, impeaching Li Yong? What did Li Yong do again? Li Er looked at it curiously, and then watched as Song Zhang fell into a speechless state, setting up a stall in the East Market to sell spices? Li Yong, don't you know that stalls are not allowed in the East Market? No, how can you set up a stall? Is there any prestige of a court official? Li Yong, you are still a colt! Can you take care of the royal face? If this was someone else, Li Er would have called someone to scold him a long time ago, but Li Yong, forget it! Even if Li Yong is called, this kid must have a good word, but there are officials who have written to impeach, and Li Yong has indeed lost the imperial court, Li Er waved his pen and fined him for half a year, thinking of the dozens of carriages in Li Yong's house, Li Er also felt helpless, and the fine for half a year may not be as good as Li Yong's stall to make more money, Li Er didn't expect Li Yong to sell all twenty carts of spices in one hour, Li Yong went to the East Market to set up a stall and sold twenty carts of spices, which caused a sensation in Chang'an. A courtyard in Chang'an was particularly lively today, and Wang Qingyun walked in with a smile on his face.
"Uncle!"
"Brother Cui!"
"Brother Li!"
"Brother Lu!"
……
Among them, Cui Guang has the highest seniority, and after everyone exchanged pleasantries, Cui Guang raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.
"Today is a small gathering of our five surnames and seven hopes, and Chang'an has been very lively recently! In particular, the Huating Marquis Mansion brought back dozens of truckloads of spices. ”
Cui Guang said with a smile.
"Li Yong has always said that overseas wealth is everywhere, but everyone will be skeptical, and now these dozens of cars of spices have confirmed this, presumably everyone has the idea of going to sea in their hearts."
"Of course."
"If there is wealth overseas, why don't we go to sea?"
Everyone took it for granted, Cui Guang said with a smile.
"Our five surnames and seven wangs are not very deep in the south, and now the craftsmen and shipbuilding materials are in the hands of people in the south, which is their capital."
"Therefore, as long as our five surnames and seven hopes unite and advance and retreat together, we will definitely be able to firmly grasp the sea in our hands."
"Uncle Cui is right."
"Our five surnames and seven wang generations intermarry, and we are in the same breath, of course, we advance and retreat together."
"Indeed, if our five surnames and seven hopes join forces, others can only follow behind to drink some soup, even if that person is Li Yong."
They all have a strong sense of self-confidence, because the emperor of the flowing water is the iron family gatekeeper.
"However, the problem now is that we don't know where the spice island is, and the sea may not be easy to find."
Cui Guang said helplessly.
"Uncle, since Cheng Chuhei can encounter Spice Island casually, it can be seen that there are many Spice Islands."
"That's not necessarily, the envoys of the Wa Kingdom have never met Spice Island since they came to Datang from the Wa Kingdom."
Everyone was talking, and someone turned to look at Wang Qingyun and asked with a smile.
"I heard that Brother Yun has been to Lijiazhuang?"
Everyone's eyes suddenly fell on Wang Qingyun, and Wang Qingyun smiled slightly.
"I did go to Lijiazhuang, because I was familiar with him, so I went to test him."
In front of so many people, of course Wang Qingyun would not say that he was going to talk about cooperation with Li Yong, and then the talks collapsed, and suddenly everyone was interested and asked curiously.
"What did Li Yong say?"
Wang Qingyun groaned.
"I mainly want to test when he will go to sea again."
Cui Guang and the others' eyes flashed, waiting for Li Yong to go to sea, if they sent a boat to follow Li Yong's ship, wouldn't they be able to get the secret of Spice Island? Cui Guang asked.
"When did he say he would go to sea again?"
"No matter when he goes to sea again, as long as we keep an eye on his movements, can he still run away quietly?"
Someone said with a smile in his hand, Wang Qingyun said helplessly.
"But he said he wasn't going to go to sea."
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and asked suspiciously.
"He's not going to go to sea? How can it be? ”
"Impossible, he just pulled dozens of truckloads of spices from overseas, and he said he didn't go to sea? Is he stupid? Don't all the spices from overseas rot there? ”
"Just, you think you can fool us by doing this? This little trick is too underestimating us, right? ”
"That is, you think you can trick us into going to sea secretly?"
Wang Qingyun replied helplessly.
"I think what he said should be true, and it is very likely that he really did not plan to go to sea."
"Qingyun! Don't be fooled by his words. ”
"Yes! can't be deceived by him, although his reputation among the people is very good, but this person is very cunning. ”
Cui Guang asked.
"Qingyun, why doesn't he plan to go to sea? What justification did he use? ”
Wang Qingyun spread his hands and said.
"Because he doesn't have a ship!"
Everyone couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this, is it okay to have no sea boats?
"No, he has a boat, but he doesn't have a boat, where did these dozens of truckloads of spices come from? Qingyun, do you believe this? ”
Wang Qingyun explained.
"That ship is not his, but Cheng Zhihei's, after going to sea this time, Cheng Zhihei wants to fulfill his dream and sail around the world, so Li Yong has no ship to go to sea at all."
This result was something that everyone never expected, they still wanted to see Li Yong's movement to go to sea, but they didn't expect Li Yong to go to sea at all, because their five surnames and seven hopes had collected craftsmen and materials, even the emperor was difficult to get together a sea boat for a while, is this considered to lift a stone to shoot himself in the foot? Everyone was stunned for a while, if Li Yong didn't go to sea, then their people went to sea aimlessly, where to find Spice Island? Do you send a sea ship out to try your luck?
"Why don't we give him a sea boat?"
Someone proposed, give Li Yong a sea boat? So what do we do with all the craftsmen and materials? The crowd was speechless.
"Give him a sea boat, and he will go to sea? Not necessarily! ”
Someone hesitated.
"If he had a ship, he would go to sea, that's what he said."
Wang Qingyun explained, everyone was not calm when they heard it, this is a naked threat, it is too shameless.
"If he says give it, let's give it?"
"What if you don't give it? If you don't give the boat, he won't show us the way! We can't find Spice Island! ”
"But given him the boat, will he really go?"
Wang Qingyun coughed dryly.
"I think Li Yong is cunning and cunning, but he still counts when he speaks."
It seems that he can only give him a boat, Cui Guang muttered helplessly.
"The question is, how many boats do you give him?"
Everyone was silent when they heard this, this is indeed a problem, if they give less, Li Yong may not be willing to go to sea, but if they give too much, then what are they trying to collect materials and craftsmen? Doesn't that mean you've done all the useless work?
