The white sugar given to the envoys of the Song Kingdom was a sugar jar painted by Yan Qing with a pen and depicted burning.

Yan Qing was also highly sought after in the Song Kingdom.

Because of the wealth of the Song Kingdom, Yan Qing's paintings were auctioned at sky-high prices in the Song Kingdom.

When the sugar jar was delivered to the envoys of the Song Kingdom, Liu Ziye was discussing with a young man in a dark robe and playing with a folding fan about planting sugarcane in the Song Kingdom.

"The queen has a reward—"

Liu Ziye went out to receive the reward.

The young man who was playing with the folding fan, when he heard the "Queen Mother", his cobalt blue eyes suddenly lit up.

He stared up at the door.

Liu Ziye came in with the delicate white porcelain painting jar.

The young man snapped his folding fan shut, "What reward?" Take it for me to see. ”

Liu Ziye immediately held the jar with both hands, "Young Master Song, this is a gift from my mother to the monarch of Song Kingdom, you can't grab it!" ”

This young man is no stranger, it is Song Tao.

"I'll just see, who said to rob it? Bring! Song Tao's cobalt blue eyes were unusually bright.

"Just look? Absolutely not robbed? ”

"Long-winded!"

Song Tao spun around and snatched the jar from Liu Ziye's arms.

"The most famous official kiln of Daliang is fired, Yan Qing ...... It is Yan Qing's true handiwork. ”

Song Tao looked at the jar, and the more he looked at it, the more shocked he became.

Liu Ziye's eyes widened, "I'll just say, the painting style is a little familiar!" Is it Yan Qing's real work? No wonder the palace people who rewarded it said that His Majesty Song must like it! ”

"Your Majesty, doesn't you like Mr. Yan Qing's paintings the most?"

Song Tao thought for a moment, and a smile appeared in his cobalt blue eyes.

"You and I almost became fools of 'buying and returning pearls'." He said, "She must not have given this jar to her, but what was in the jar was her real intention." ”

Liu Ziye was slightly stunned, and hurriedly stepped forward, "Open it, open it quickly and see, what is it, it is so precious that you want to use Mr. Yan Qing's paintings to decorate?" ”

Song Tao opened the jar, and a smell of sugarcane sweetness mixed with a faint floral fragrance came to his face, refreshing his heart.

Song Tao was immediately stunned...... The look was confused.

This smell is so familiar......

In the deepest part of his memory, what he sealed seemed to be about to break out of the cocoon.

"Ah, is this the snowflake candy that has been in the limelight lately?"

Liu Ziye's exclamation interrupted his memories.

The two of them ordered someone to bring a spoon and scoop out some snowflake candy.

"The rumors are true, this snowflake candy is really as white as snow, and if you look closely, it is like ice crystals, crystal clear."

"The smell is sweet and fragrant, and the taste is ...... Hmm, it's so sweet! ”

Liu Ziye put a little snowflake candy in the tea.

When the snowflake sugar melted, he was about to drink tea.

"What are you stealing? Hide it from me! Liu Jiaren strode over, her nose moving slightly, "It's so sweet." ”

She didn't pay attention to the beautiful jar, and stared at the tea cup that Liu Ziye had just picked up.

She stepped forward and snatched the teacup and took a sip of tea.

"You have hidden the best tea and you won't give it to me? It's so sweet, the tea is fragrant, it's much better than the emperor's tea for me! Liu Jiaren said indignantly.

"It's not tea." Song Tao said.

Liu Jiaren didn't dare to look at him squarely...... Not afraid of him.

She couldn't help blushing when she looked at him, especially at the sight of his deep and beautiful eyes.

"It's not tea, what is it?" Liu Jiaren said crampedly.

"It's snowflake candy." Liu Ziye pointed to the superb jar, "You go to the palace and thank the queen mother." Asked Niangniang if she had any plans to open border trade. ”

"If Niangniang has this plan, can you introduce sugarcane into my Great Song Dynasty for planting!"

"And the process of making sugar......

Song Tao smiled, "Didn't she send this candy just to trade?" It's just that the process of sugar making, I'm afraid she won't give it to Da Song easily. ”

Liu Jiaren listened to the two of them talking back and forth.

She suddenly smiled, "I knew she could!" I'll change into women's clothes and enter the palace to ask to see me! ”

Song Tao lowered his eyes, gently rubbed the folding fan with his fingers, and said slowly, "The northern border of the Song Kingdom borders the southern border of Daliang. ”

"Yunning County is a good place to grow sugarcane. If you can establish a trade market near Yunning. It was very convenient for the Song Kingdom to sell tea and silk to Daliang. ”

"It is also very convenient to buy snowflake candy from Daliang, which is a good thing for the tea farmers of the Song Kingdom, and the silkworm market."

Liu Ziye also said, "Our monarch has always had the intention of opening up to trade, but the monarch before Daliang was too conservative in his thinking. There's never been a better time to do it! ”

Liu Jiaren went to the palace to ask to see Wen Jinshi.

Chen Ba, who was far away in Chen State, also received the snowflake candy brought by Wen Jin's order.

This is the earliest snowflake candy made when trying it in the palace.

Chen Ba tasted the wonderful taste of this candy, and read the attached letter, the explanation about this sugar.

He was ecstatic in his eyes, and immediately took this jar and entered the palace to ask to see Emperor Chen.

"It's a good thing, it has the effect of strengthening the body, and its taste is indescribable."

"If my Chen State and the Song Dynasty exchange trade, we can take the opportunity to introduce this 'snowflake candy', which is said to be the output of a crop."

"I, Chen Guo, can also grow this. It will greatly benefit the production and life of the people of our country. ”

Chen Ba had not inspected it at this time, in fact, most places in Chen Country could not grow sugarcane.

Only in the small area bordering Qiqi can sugar cane be grown.

But this is not important, the important thing is that he wants to take this opportunity to convince Emperor Chen to establish friendly relations with Liang.

Although he was a military general, he was ...... after he went to the Liang State His mind and philosophy have undergone a transformation.

Always calling back and forth is not good for Chen Guo.

Seizing every opportunity, building yourself, and strengthening yourself is the right way!

The words that Qi Guo'er told him were all!

Since beating Wen Jin to save his mother, he has found that he can't just look at the surface when encountering problems.

It is necessary to think deeply and have a longer-term vision.

Emperor Chen, listen to him to the Liang State...... Especially after the description of the princess of Liang Guo, I am particularly curious about Liang Guo.

"You said that this snowflake candy and that sugar cane were all the ideas of the princess of Liang?" Emperor Chen asked.

Chen Ba arched his hand and said, "Back to my emperor, she is no longer a princess, but the queen of Liangguo." ”

Emperor Chen nodded, "Interesting woman...... I have sent you to the frontier to preside over the border trade. ”

"Also, write to the Emperor and Empress of Liang. After the trade, I agreed with the merchants of the Liang State to bring the customs clearance documents from the government to enter the land of our Chen State. ”

"Anyone who has customs clearance documents, Chen Guo can guarantee that they enjoy the same rights as the people of Chen Guo in Da Chen."

"Do not attack or plunder caravans without cause. Ensure the safety of their persons and belongings. ”

"At the same time, I Dachen businessman, when I go to Liang Country, I must also enjoy the same rights!"

Chen Ba was overjoyed, but his face was calm and he gave up his orders.

When he returned to the house, he immediately ordered his servants to pack up.

At the same time, he also wrote to the envoys of the state of Chen, who were still in the state of Liang.

The envoys of the Chen State had 120,000 points of envy of the Song State.

"It's still the Song State that has foresight! There were women among their envoys! ”

In order to facilitate the entry into the palace to see Wen Jin, Liu Jiaren had already taken off her man's costume as early as the beginning of Xiao Yuchen's ascension to the throne, revealing her daughter's body.

And now, Liu Jiaren can go straight to the palace and negotiate face-to-face with Queen Liang.

And they can only watch with their eyes and shed tears of envy.
