Chapter 378: Come
"Girl, what is this for?"
Xin Yu smiled, "It's not for you."
The sixth master breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, it's okay."
If you really want to give it to him, he is afraid.
"When you go overseas, you will first go to Guangcheng and then depart from the port of Guangcheng. Gwangseong has prospered since the previous dynasty due to maritime trade, and there are the highest level of shipbuilders there. Sixth brother, when you arrive in Guangcheng, use the money to order a big ship that can go to sea, and leave reliable subordinates to supervise the work in Guangcheng." Speaking of this, Xin Yu's tone was even more solemn, "Sixth brother, remember that this ship is not from the imperial court, but our own ......
The sixth master was a little surprised: "Girl, are you going to sea?"
Xiaolian also cast a surprised look.
"Not yet. However, I have heard my mother talk about the overseas scenery, and the sixth brother can see it with his own eyes, and there may be many skills and treasures worth learning and bringing back, and maybe it will become a common thing to go to sea in the future? Let's have a boat of our own, so we're prepared."
"It's still a thoughtful girl. Don't worry, the villain will get things done." Sixth, the family is busy expressing its position.
Waiting for the sixth master to leave, Xiaolian couldn't help but remind: "Girl, such a large sum of money is handed over to the sixth brother, and he has to go far away, aren't you afraid that he will run away?"
"As a member of the mission, it will be registered, and when the time comes, I will go to Guangcheng with the mission, and it is not so easy to abscond with a huge amount of money without permission. Besides, believers do not doubt, suspects do not."
"Yes, the girl is right." Xiaolian said this, and the alarm bell sounded in her heart.
The girl really trusts that guy!
Xin Yu smiled and didn't say anything more.
After dealing with her for so long, she really trusts the six masters, but she will also write to Lord He, asking him to arrange for Jin Linwei, who is stationed in Guangcheng, to pay attention to the movements of the six masters. In this way, if the six masters encounter any trouble, they can still help, and it is also a kind of supervision.
Before the first month, He Qingxiao received a letter from Xin Yu.
He read the letter several times, and looked further south.
Is Ayu going to sea?
"My lord, a Zhuangzi in the north is making trouble?"
"What's the fuss?" He Qingxiao put the letter away properly and got up.
"The staff there will have to increase the rent......
"Let's see."
A group of officers and soldiers led by He Qingxiao rode towards the Zhuangzi.
The time quickly entered February, and Emperor Xingyuan issued an order to send envoys overseas. In the past 20 years since the founding of the Great Xia Dynasty, the imperial court has frequently sent envoys overseas from time to time for two or three years, and there are also four or five years apart, so no one thinks that there is any difference in going to sea this time.
Oh, I heard that there are people in the mission who are waiting for the edict. People who noticed this didn't think too much, and some of them hated Xinyu because they hated the New Deal, and they just scolded a few words about this girl, and it was not a proper thing.
Of course, I only dare to say this behind my back, since Xin Yu has not fallen behind the Queen Mother, the ministers will not easily make a fool and run to the emperor to speak ill of his daughter.
In February, Xin Yu not only received a reply from He Qingxiao, but also received a special product from the Northland.
All kinds of furs, mountain ginseng, hazel mushrooms and other things, the quality is superior.
"Girl, did Hachi bring it back?" Xiaolian touched a piece of sable fur and couldn't put it down.
Although Xiaoba's New Year's gift to the girl was a little late, it was too decent. Think about Lord He's New Year's gift - cough, it can't be compared like this, Lord He is a goose feather sent thousands of miles away, and the gift is light and affectionate.
Since discovering Xin Yu's intentions, Xiaolian has been extremely tolerant of Lord He.
"It's not just Hachi." Xin Yu pointed to the sable skin that was touched by Xiaolian, "These were given by Yong'anbo."
Xiaolian is a smart one, and when she heard this, she smiled and said, "Then the new deal must be going smoothly."
The new deal is going well, and Lord He may be able to come back sooner, and the girl will be happier.
Xin Yu knew that even if the new policy went well, He Qingxiao would not come back soon, at least until the summer tax was collected and he would come back with the results of the implementation of the new policy.
After that, the days were calm, cherry red, plantain green, and by May it was in the majority
The Xiling Kingdom in the northwest of Xia came to the mission.
Xiling has been in civil strife for many years, and it was finally unified three months ago, and the envoy to Daxia this time is the younger brother of the new lord of Xiling, named Baori.
Emperor Xingyuan paid full attention to the arrival of the envoys of Xiling.
To the north of Bactria is Bac Ninh, and the war friction between the two sides of the past dynasties has never stopped. Xiling borders Bac Ninh in the east and Daxia in the southeast, and has not been involved for many years because of the civil strife.
But when Xiling was not in the midst of a civil war, it was also eyeing this fertile land in the middle.
Emperor Xingyuan was very curious about the purpose of the envoys sent by Xiling, who had ended the civil strife, to come to Great Xia.
"Little Wang Baori, I've seen Your Majesty."
"No need to be polite." Emperor Xingyuan's tone was polite, and there was scrutiny in his eyes.
This younger brother of King Xiling is in his early twenties, with a majestic figure, deep facial features, and he is not ugly.
Bao Ri got up and said loudly, "Our country has been in turmoil for many years, and a few months ago, under the leadership of Brother Wang, peace was finally restored. Brother Wang specially sent Xiao Wang to your country to continue the friendship between the two countries......
Hearing that he was not here to provoke and find trouble, Emperor Xingyuan smiled a little more sincerely, said a few polite words, and then set up a banquet in the Qianqing Palace.
The sound of silk and bamboo, the beauty is like a cloud, a warbler song and swallow dance, Emperor Xingyuan asked about the situation of Xiling Kingdom, and Bao Ri answered one by one.
After waiting for a few glasses of wine, Bao Ri said, "Your country is a state of etiquette, and Brother Wang has always admired it. Now that Xiling has finally settled down, the royal brother has specially ordered the little king to come to your country and ask him to marry the princess of your country as the queen on his behalf."
As soon as these words came out, the temple was suddenly silent.
Want their princess and relatives in Great Xia? The ministers' faces darkened.
Want his daughter and kiss? Emperor Xingyuan's face was the blackest.
Bao Ri immediately sensed that something was wrong: it seemed that the next moment, he, a Western Spirit envoy, would be hacked to death by the Xia people.
Being appointed as the chief envoy by King Xiling and entrusted with the important task of marrying the princess of Great Xia, Bao Ri was naturally not stupid, and hurriedly answered: "Brother Wang sincerely asks to marry the princess of your country, and is willing to hire five thousand war horses."
The sound of gasping came and went, and some people even knocked over their wine glasses because they were too surprised.
Five thousand!
If you don't know what 5,000 war horses mean to Great Xia, there is a data to compare it clearly: Great Xia now has less than 50,000 war horses!
Xiling horses are already stronger than Daxia horses, five thousand horses from Xiling - as long as they think about it, many people's faces are not dark, and their anger is gone, and they quietly swallow saliva to peek at the emperor's reaction.
It was humiliating to be close to him, and to hire five thousand war horses was to ask for marriage sincerely.
If Great Xia had obtained 5,000 good war horses, it would have been much easier to clean up the people of Beining, who were always harassing the border.
Under the eager gaze of Prince Xiling Baori, Emperor Xingyuan spoke: "Your envoy has just arrived in Great Xia, don't talk about these things in a hurry, and rest and play for a few days."
