Chapter 170: Feast!
"This time, the delegation of the neighboring country came to Beijing and said that in order to confirm the existence of the gold vein, and your task is to find a way to keep the gold vein, this is the holy decree." Zhou Caihuang said sonorously.
Zhang Yuan pouted his head: "You can change people in this matter, whether the gold vein can be guaranteed or not, if you let those old dogs in the court know, maybe something will happen, I can't do it." ”
Now he just wants to make money in peace, and other things have nothing to do with him.
"If you can do this, the tax on Yongan Street will be reduced to fifty percent!" Zhou Caihuang saw that Zhang Yuan did not agree, so he simply offered conditions to tempt him.
"It's only two percent less?" Zhang Yuan shook his head and said: "The tax will be reduced to forty percent, and I will agree to this matter!" ”
"Okay, it's a deal!" Zhou Caihuang hurriedly clapped the board, for fear that Zhang Yuan would regret it, after all, he could keep a gold vein, let alone forty percent, just don't!
Zhang Yuan was stunned, he promised so neatly, did he lose?
After coming out of the palace, in this afternoon, merchants from other countries faintly entered the imperial capital.
Zhang Yuan was not interested in this, and now he was thinking about how to keep the gold vein.
As for those businessmen from neighboring countries, after seeing a series of equipment on Yong'an Street, they were shocked, especially the program and drama of Yong'an Fang, which opened their eyes!
Those merchants exclaimed that this was a paradise on earth, and they lingered for a while.
It's just that the locals look at those neighboring merchants like dirt buns, and they are very disdainful in their hearts.
Haven't seen the world!
A few days passed, and it was also the day when the foreign envoys entered Beijing, and on this day, almost the entire people of Kyoto ran to the streets to watch, and they had not seen anyone from another country since the end of the war.
On the street, I saw a number of luxurious and atmospheric, exotic carriages slowly coming, eight big horses looked particularly eye-catching, the first to open the way, was an old man in black, the old man's eyes were strong and powerful, and he was bright.
This team of people is naturally the envoy of the Yan Kingdom!
It is said that the person who came to the imperial capital this time is the third prince of Yanguo and the heir of the future Yanguo unification.
Zhang Yuan naturally noticed it.
Immediately afterwards, I saw that the envoys of Qin and Anguo had entered the imperial capital, and Qin was very monotonous, there was only one carriage, and Anguo did not enter the imperial capital through the main gate!
On this day, after the envoys of the neighboring countries entered the palace to meet His Majesty, they chose to go out of the palace to play.
However, it is reported that Yan Guo came to Dakang this time and brought an old man, the old man is talented and has a good reputation, and is called Yang Lao by the current world!
It is said that this person studied in Dakang when he was young, but Dakang rejected him, saying that he was not talented enough and was not worthy of learning calligraphy.
However, today's status of Yang Lao in Yanguo is a big figure in the literary world, and this time he came to Dakang because of selfishness.
Because there are rumors, Yang Lao's lifespan is less than three years.
The Qin State paid tribute to the imperial court with a black sword, and he didn't know what he wanted.
It's Anguo, who hasn't moved, and it seems to have no sense of existence.
On the second day, there was news that King Chen Zhou Kang was going to have a banquet in Yong'an Fang to entertain envoys from various countries, especially princes from various countries.
As soon as this news came out, the people were in an uproar!
"This two hundred and five Zhou Kang is actually going to have a banquet for the envoys of neighboring countries, it's really ridiculous, Lord Yan, this time I waited for the opportunity, and I came!" In Shangshu Mansion, Zhang Kai hurriedly reported the news to Yan Gao.
Yan Gao was not in a hurry, waved his hand and said: "This matter is not in a hurry for the time being, I got a news that this time the three countries are dispatched for the border veins!" I have gossip that underneath that vein is a vein of gold! ”
Hiss!
Zhang Kai suddenly gasped.
Gold veins?
"This ...... My lord, is this true or false? Zhang Kaihu asked.
"The person who gave me the news is the guard of the ore vein, there should be no fake!" Yan Gao squinted his eyes and said, "Tomorrow's banquet, we will go too!" ”
Hearing this, Zhang Kai fell silent, thought for a while, and said: "Lord Yan, if it is really a gold vein, I am afraid that the neighboring country will not be good this time!" ”
"It's okay!" Yan Gao turned around: "Don't you want to get rid of Zhang Yuan?" That's an opportunity. ”
"Let Master Yan dictate." As soon as Zhang Kai heard the word Zhang Yuan, he hated it so much that he lost his mind.
"No hurry! Come with me tomorrow to Wing On Fang. ”
……
At the same time, Yan Guo was stationed in the mansion, and they naturally received an invitation to the banquet from King Chen Zhou Kang, only to see a handsome and dashing man, holding a plum blossom folding fan, and said with a smile: "Interesting, I didn't expect that the first person to entertain us was King Chen." ”
"This King Chen, I heard that he spends all day drinking and drinking, and he doesn't ask about the government, this time he invited me to a banquet, is there another purpose?" Beside him, an old man asked.
"No matter what his purpose is, we have to go to this feast."
"Also, is there any news for you to inquire about?"
The old man shook his head slightly: "We have just entered Dakang, and many things have not yet had time to unfold, but Your Highness can rest assured, there will be an answer before tomorrow night." ”
"That's great!"
……
The residence of the envoy of the Qin State.
"Princess, do we refuse this banquet?"
In the courtyard, the black-robed man stood respectfully behind a woman and asked.
The woman turned her back to him and didn't answer, but the slender figure gave people a sense of loneliness.
After a long time, the woman slowly spoke, "Go." ”
……
The residence of the Angolan Envoy.
"His Royal Highness, they have already accepted the post, presumably there will be news tomorrow." The Anguo envoy stood behind a man dressed in a royal nobleman and spoke softly.
"I heard that there are a lot of fun things in this Dakang, right?" Next to the man, a playful lark woman asked.
"This ...... I don't know. The Anguo envoy shook his head with a wry smile.
Since Dakang has not communicated with the outside world, they have not known anything about Dakang.
"I heard that King Chen is going to invite me to a banquet tomorrow?" The prince asked.
"There's such a thing." The Anguo envoy was stunned.
"Then I'll check it out tomorrow."
……
"Zhang Yuan, why are you inviting these envoys to a banquet in Yong'an Fang?" Zhou Kang lay on the table and asked Zhang Yuan angrily.
Zhang Yuan shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Only by knowing ourselves and knowing our opponents can we have good countermeasures." ”
"Then you can't use my reputation." Zhou Kang pouted, his face full of reluctance.
"What? Not confident? Zhang Yuan smiled and encouraged: "Don't forget, you are King Chen!" It is reasonable for you to feast on them. ”
"But ......" Zhou Kang hesitated for a moment, and said dejectedly: "I'm afraid I won't be able to do well." ”
"Don't forget, there's me, what are you afraid of." Zhang Yuan patted Zhou Kang's shoulder and said.
After all, he is still a child, and when he encounters this kind of thing, he is still a little panicked.
"Brother Nan, Brother Pheasant, the outside is all arranged! In addition, some people have been seconded from the patrol camp! ”
