"Minister Zuo is really wise."
In the post house, a group of sangyi envoys sat in the garden to enjoy the spring, while chatting in sangyi's language.
The servants and soldiers could not understand what they were saying. They just saw that they were smiling and gentle. They thought they were talking about the luxuriant flowers and plants in spring.
A short and fat emissary said: "the left minister gave the imperial court some difficult problems, deliberately let them solve them, let them think they are smarter than the people of sangyi. These days, we are constantly on the run, studying in various textile and wood workshops. I almost thought that we really came to study. "
When he said this, his eyes unconsciously swept over the soldiers in the court. Seeing that there was nothing unusual on their faces, he laughed with satisfaction.
Beili people can't understand sangyi's words, but they can understand Beili's words. This is the gap.
Sitting in the pavilion, the left minister took the tea cup, sniffed it, and then held it up to play, "if it's not like this, how can we make the wise lady believe us? Although many things in our country are better than theirs, such as the tea ceremony. The maid who makes tea in the post house is not very skilled. "
He said, turning to one side of the maid, with Kyushu mainland language way: "your tea is very good, good aroma."
After that, he took a sip with a smile. His whole face wrinkled like a cat and seemed very satisfied.
The maid bowed her head in shame, "thank you for your praise. My tea skill is just average, which is far worse than that in the palace."
The left minister just nodded, put down the tea cup, and said to the envoys behind him: "see, Beili people really look down on us. I praise her casually and she believes it. Of course, she knows that her skill of making tea is average. She just thinks that we haven't had any good tea in sangyi. "
The envoys looked at the tea cup in front of them. For a moment, they were angry and despised, but they tried their best to restrain their faces.
The maid who made the tea thought that minister Zuo was drinking. They talked about the tea ceremony without any doubt.
An emissary breathed a breath from his nose very lightly, "our country of Sang is the sunrise country in the East. Small as it is, it is much more noble than the clumsy mainland of Kyushu. How can they call us "Yi"? They seem to think we don't understand what "Yi" means. "
Barbarian, alien, with contempt.
This is what people in mainland Kyushu call "Yi.".
Left minister smile, his expression seems to be more self-control than others, "what does that matter? Let them have more beautiful dreams of heaven. Only when they despise the enemy can we be surprised. What I'm worried about is that they don't despise us enough. Beili Chaozhong is full of talents after all... "
The left minister narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking that he had a few questions on the golden hall that day.
Gu Shubai and Tian yunpo are the leaders of the younger generation in the court. They have a combination of literature and martial arts, and their quick thinking should not be underestimated.
But what surprised him even more was the superior lady.
She is so young and white that she will be worshipped as a porcelain doll in sangyi country. She is the most precious little daughter in the family.
But she was so smart. He didn't lie about the question of buying chicken. In sangyi country, although people can solve the problem, no one can solve three kinds of problems at the same time.
He could see that yufuzheng had solved three kinds of answers that day, so she asked questions when tianyunpo was not confident and asked him to say his answers.
It's amazing how smart you are.
"What do you mean, Minister Zuo?"
The envoys have been forbearing, thinking that they have been despised enough. Why should the left minister worry?
The left minister said: "you've been wandering for so long, haven't you found that his majesty Beili hasn't opened the Central Military Department to us for a visit? They didn't show us their guns, crossbows, the most advanced weapons. "
After a moment's silence, the left minister suddenly realized something and asked the maidservant, "what kind of tea is this?"
"My Lord, this is Longjing before the rain."
"It's delicious."
Minister Zuo, who was always smiling, sighed, "we can't grow such good tea in our country, so everyone is very sad. It turns out that such a good tea is called yuqianlongjing. I remember it. "
No wonder these envoys suddenly look ugly. It turned out that they were just for tea.
Maid with a smile bowed her head, but she thought, this is not the best tea, you haven't drunk better Longjing before Ming Dynasty!
Later, I heard minister Zuo's words. I cleaned up my face one after another and showed my face again with a smile.
……
In the palace.
"Big brother, I asked the Ministry of industry to learn the shipbuilding technology of Sang Yiguo. What worries do you have?"
Yu Fu thinks that this is a good thing, and doesn't want Gu Shubai to agree immediately.
He thought about it and said, "Yufu, not everyone is willing to ask questions like you. Although the ministers in the court are polite to them on the surface, you should know that they look down on Sang Yiguo more or less in their hearts. "Yu Fu nodded, "yes. This is inevitable. Beili people pay attention to propriety and righteousness. In the past, even Xikun people looked down upon it, not to mention the more backward sangyi country. "
Gu Shubai said: "if we want to let the DPRK and China learn shipbuilding technology from sangyi, many ministers will oppose it because of their face. They think that our country is a great country in Beili. How can we learn from barbarians?"
Yu Fu frowned and thought for a moment.
"But this matter was first raised by the Minister of the Ministry of industry. At that time, there was no minister in the court against it. If I mention it now, no one will object. "
"That's not the same."
Gu Shubai said: "the last time the Minister of the Ministry of industry put forward this matter, it was because the envoys had not yet come to Beijing and were still in the stage of inquiring for information. The people we sent secretly drew the ship's drawings, which the people of sangyi didn't know. This does not undermine the national prestige of Beili, and ministers naturally do not feel embarrassed. "
Yu Fu understood what he meant. "Now when the envoys go to Beijing, they have to face them and ask for advice about shipbuilding. It's hard to avoid that some people can't keep their faces. You mean, in order to take care of these people's faces, you can't directly consult them about shipbuilding? Ridiculous
She suddenly raised her voice and scolded angrily.
Of course, not Gu Shubai, but those ministers.
"When did the central government catch up with this kind of atmosphere, because they were small and weak, they looked down on them? That's all. Knowing that although they are weak, they are superior to us in shipbuilding technology. Why not learn humbly? As an important official of the imperial court, I don't even have this grace. It's pedantic! "
Gu Shubai said, "I'm afraid there's a reason for winning battles in a row."
Yu Fu was silent for a moment, sipping her lips.
After a while, she looked up and said, "this kind of atmosphere needs to be changed. Although sang Yiguo is small, I admire him a little. Hundreds of years ago, they came across the sea to study, which changed the original state of life of the country and gradually moved towards civilization. Although Beili is strong, if you can keep this enterprising spirit, why worry that the mainland of Kyushu is not unified? "
Gu Shubai looked at her for a long time, then said with a smile: "so, you decided?"
"It's decided."
Yu Fu looked out of the hall and said, "call Chen Jingxing, Minister of Honglu temple, to meet you."
Chen Jingxing came out of the palace and went to the Ministry of industry in a hurry. He wanted to take the Minister of industry to the post office.
The Secretary of the Ministry of industry said, "we are all in charge of the Department. What's the point of pulling and bickering? Mr. Chen, it's your duty to be the Minister of Honglu temple. What do you want me to do? It's very embarrassing. "
Chen Jingxing was very serious. "Your Majesty understands that Shangshu is eager to learn. He ordered me to come to him. Then he took the officials and craftsmen in charge of ship manufacturing of the Ministry of industry to the post house to consult the Minister of sangyi. Isn't that what Lord Shangshu wants to learn? Now how do you say "embarrassed?"
"Why is that the same?"
The Minister of the Ministry of industry was not happy and said, "it was secretly before, but now I go to ask face to face, won't it hurt the national power of Beili? Tangtang Beili is going to consult their barbarians. What's the matter? "
He swung both sleeves and stood with his hands down, stubbornly lifting his chin.
Chen Jingxing said: "I'm afraid that this matter is not something that the Lord Shangshu said he would go or not. Your Majesty's order has been given. Do you want me to go into the palace and ask for a clear imperial edict
"You
If the imperial edict made him go to ask the barbarians for advice, wouldn't he lose all his old face?
The Secretary of the Ministry of work was busy pulling his sleeve and flattering him, "Mr. Chen, you have always been respected by your majesty. Tell me honestly, what does your majesty mean?"
Chen Jingxing's tone also eased a little, "what else does your majesty mean? Our majesty is young, studious and generous. He wants to transform our Beili into a more advanced ship. Isn't that a good thing for the common people? Your majesty doesn't think that he has lost the national power of Beili. What's Shangshu still trying to do? "
On hearing this, the Minister of the Ministry of industry sighed, "I don't know how to transform the ship to benefit the people? If not, I would not have mentioned it to your majesty before. Just now It's all right. Shame on shame. In order to benefit the people, what do I mean if I lose my old face? "
Chen Jingxing chuckled in his heart, and his face was still serious. "Mr. Shang Shu, is this little face important, or is your Majesty's holy heart important? If this is done, are you worried that your majesty will not reward you? The name of an adult left in the future history books is the leader of Beili's shipbuilding industry. That's a good thing for us to live forever and honor our family! "
Chen Jingxing is worthy of being an envoy to many countries. He has also received many envoys from many countries. He has a first-class manner.
After being flattered by him, the Minister of the Ministry of industry was already happy and said on his own initiative: "Mr. Chen, wait a moment. I'll go and bring the officials in charge and the craftsmen of shipbuilding. Let's go to the post house together!"
When the party arrived at the post house, they saw minister Zuo and others enjoying the flowers in the garden. When they saw Chen Jingxing, they got up and saluted. They met each other.
"This adult is..."
Chen Jingxing hastily introduced: "this is the Minister of the Ministry of industry. Your majesty has the will to say that the exchanges between the two countries will benefit each other if they learn from each other. Since minister Zuo has taken people to visit Beijing for so many days, I don't think he would be stingy to teach our craftsmen your shipbuilding techniques? "Left minister a Leng, almost thought he heard wrong, "Mr. Chen, you mean..."
Chen Jingxing said with a smile, "it's not my meaning, it's your Majesty's meaning. Will minister Zuo not be reluctant to let the Minister of the Ministry of industry take the craftsmen to learn from you about shipbuilding techniques? "
"No, of course not."
Left minister hastily piled up a smile to answer and said: "I'm just too surprised. I didn't expect that we have something worthy of learning from your country, and we can let your majesty kiss the imperial edict."
The Minister of the Ministry of industry was a little embarrassed, but Chen Jingxing was still modest.
Minister Zuo had no choice but to say, "please compare the craftsmen we brought with the craftsmen of the Ministry of industry. Maybe there will be something that can benefit each other. Please sit down and have a cup of tea
When the relevant officials took the craftsmen to retreat, Chen Jingxing and the Minister of the Ministry of industry sat down with the envoys to drink tea. Chen Jingxing took up the tea cups and said, "why don't you look so unhappy? Don't you want to share the shipbuilding technology with us? "
The left minister could not help shivering.
He subconsciously glanced at the envoys behind him. They had already covered up their emotions very well. How did Chen Jingxing see the difference?
He made a bluff and quickly added, "Mr. Chen, it's not like this. Before you came here, we were talking about Longjing before the rain, and we talked about tea in our hometown. We were just homesick. After all, we've been drifting on the sea for a long time. We've gone through a lot of wind and waves, and it's hard to avoid homesickness. "
This reason sounds flawless.
Chen Jingxing put down his tea cup and said with a smile, "I see. It seems that I've been oversensitive. If minister Zuo likes the Longjing before the rain, I'll send you some of the Longjing collected at home later to have a taste and see if it's better than this tea. "
The left minister said with a smile, "thank you Mr. Chen first."
After leaving the post house, Chen Jingxing and the Minister of the Ministry of industry took leave outside the door and got into the carriage respectively.
On the bus, Chen Jingxing closed his eyes slightly and said to his subordinates: "send someone to check to see if there is anyone in the middle school who understands the language of sangyi. If there is one, please come to see me immediately."
……
The imperial court was very busy these days when the envoys were in Beijing.
Fortunately, the four areas are stable, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, and there is no trouble.
The prince of Chu sent a letter from Xikun, saying that Baiqing's ability to govern the place was beyond his imagination. In just two months, Xikun's government affairs became more and more smooth. Baiqing also asked for an order that Xikun would be re divided into state governments like Beili.
It has come to the point of dividing the state capitals. We can see how stable Xikun is under the administration of Baiqing.
Yu Fu was very happy and ordered the Imperial Academy to reward Bai Qing and Chu Jun Wang. He also sent them many rewards that they could use, so that they could manage Xi Kun more wholeheartedly.
As for the proposal of dividing the state capital, it reminds her that it is time to divide the ten important towns of Dongling and their surrounding areas, which were included in Beili bag earlier.
Nowadays, a group of young ministers newly cultivated by the central government are more and more capable. They can be sent to govern the local areas. They can not only train them, but also make their young blood work for the well-being of the local people.
It's just
"At the end of this year, didn't emperor Ning send people to send many gifts? It's also a great joy to hear that emperor Ning is going to be crowned Queen. Send envoys to send a gift. "
Yao Lan said: "Your Majesty, why do you suddenly think of giving gifts to Emperor Ning? In fact, the queen is not an important person, that is, the former Princess Li. Dongling Dynasty seems to have some complaints about the queen. Why should we rush to deliver the present? "
Yu Fu looked at her, "it's Li Fei, but I didn't care. No matter who he sealed, it's just a gift from the beginning. I plan to re divide the ten important towns that Dongling gave to Beili, but those places are close to the reign of emperor Ning after all. To give him some gifts is to appease him, so that he will not have any wrong ideas to hinder the implementation of my policy. "
So it is.
If Yu Fu sent gifts to her, she could face her and calm down the dissatisfaction of Dongling court with the new queen. Ning Chengzhi would be grateful.
Secondly, he also gave Ning Chengzhi face. When he got this face, he should take it as soon as it's good. He won't do anything bad to Beili, will he?
Yao LAN nodded and said, "that slave girl will give orders to go down."
The news that Yufu sent envoys to Dongling to give gifts spread all over the capital, and the Posthouse soon got the news.
It was because she had sent people to study their shipbuilding technology that Zuo and other ministers were upset. At first hearing the news, they immediately thought wrong.
"Although Beili and Dongling didn't have a bad relationship, how could she take the initiative to send someone to give gifts in terms of the relationship between emperor Ning and his majesty Beili as well as taking care of her family? Strange. It's so strange. "
Someone immediately thought of something: "do they already know our deal with Dongling?"
