Monument Yangmen

Chapter 321

The next day, early in the morning.

Song Qi personally delivered the canonized imperial edict of Nanguo to the Nanguo Post House.

Canonize Yi Xi, the lord of the Southern Kingdom, as the King of the Southern Kingdom, and the Grand Marshal of the Southern Kingdom; canonize Hailina, the envoy of the Southern Kingdom, as the wife of the Southern Kingdom...

Zhao Guangyi was very generous this time, not only canonizing the ruler of the Southern Kingdom, but also the concubines and sons of the ruler of the Southern Kingdom.

After reading the canonized imperial edict, Song Qi also handed over to Hailina the letter of credence handed over by Song Dynasty to the Southern Kingdom.

Moreover, Song Qi and Hailina discussed the specific details of the delivery of grain to Song Dynasty.

Hailina invited Song Qi to sit down, made tea himself, and handed it to Song Qi.

"The sea envoy's method of cooking tea is quite similar to the three flavors of the Southern Tang tea ceremony..."

Song Qi picked up the teacup and took a sip, her eyes lit up, and she praised it.

There was a sincere smile on the old face in the sea, "Master Xiang praised it. When I was young, I traveled to your country and stayed in Jinling for a few years. I have a little knowledge of the tea ceremony. I just learned some superficial knowledge, and you Compared with the tea ceremony in China, it is really difficult to be elegant."

"Hahaha..." Song Qi smiled heartily, and said softly: "The sea envoy is self-effacing, and the old man has dabbled in the tea ceremony, but compared to the sea envoy, it is a little less than."

"Thank you, Master Xiang, for your compliment."

While sipping tea, Song Qi said, "Senior Envoy, what I said to Privy Councilor Cao Bin yesterday was unavoidably a little extreme. If I offended, I still look at Haihan."

When Cao Bin was mentioned, Hailina seemed to think of something uncomfortable, his face was a little angry, and the hand holding the teacup trembled slightly.

"Your country is a kingdom of the heavens, so it is inevitable to speak a little domineeringly, and I can understand it."

Song Qi was stunned, and said with a wry smile: "My military generals are all barbarians who don't know etiquette. The sea envoys don't have to worry about it. Regarding the issue of your country's food delivery to the Song Dynasty, the sea envoys can ask for anything. As for Cao Bin What was said in the court is completely insignificant."

Haili's expression softened a bit, he nodded in deep thought, and said: "Our country was first established, and it will take some time to raise 1000 million dans of grain. Land transportation is inconvenient, so I hope that your country can provide food in the southwest and southeast coasts. , build two docks each. Our country will also build two docks in the corresponding two places.

Two piers, two copies.The food in our country is transported nearby, and the efficiency can be faster relatively.And when your country receives grain at the two piers, it can also be transported nearby and spread to the whole country, which can also reduce some troubles. "

Song Qi stroked her beard, nodded and said, "What the envoy said is true."

Hailina said again: "It's just that our country has limited ships, and our country can send out the people who need to transport food, but we still hope that your country can provide the ships needed to transport food."

Song Qi fluttered her sleeves when she heard the words, and said cheerfully: "This old man has discussed this matter with His Majesty. The ships are not a problem, but I am afraid that your country will not be able to produce so much food."

The corner of Haili's mouth was bitter, and he said: "I promised your country's grain, and naturally there will be no shortage of grain. However, 1000 million dan of grain is not a small amount. I hope to transport it in batches, and it is best to divide it into three."

Song Qi pondered a bit, then nodded in agreement.

The issue of food was agreed upon, Song Qi and Hai Lina both breathed a sigh of relief.

The two chatted for a long time, talking freely from all over the world.

Before leaving, Song Qi also invited Hailina to stay in Bianjing for a long time.

After Song Qi left, Hailina took the canonized edict to the back hall of the post house. Peng Pai walked out from a room in the back hall and asked, "Old Madam, how is the discussion going?"

Haili shook the imperial edict in his hand, and said with a smile: "It went smoothly unexpectedly..."

Peng Pai grinned and said: "My lord's words are true. Any difficulties will disappear after donating 1000 million dans of food. Even though the princes of the Manchu Dynasty are smart, they didn't see our real purpose.

It is false to donate food, but it is true to open the door of the Great Song Dynasty and clear the way of business.

Since the people of the Song Dynasty entered the southern country to settle down, the status quo of slash-and-burn farming in the southern country is also improving.The intensive cultivation of the people of the Song Dynasty and the complete farming tools of the Song Dynasty all entered the homes of the people in the southern country.

The food in our southern country will increase exponentially.

At present, the population of our southern country is declining sharply, and there is too much food to eat. If it is piled up in the warehouse and moldy, it is better to sell it to Da Song. "

Hai Lina glared at Peng Pai, and said angrily, "Open your mouth like an adult, shut your mouth like an adult..."

Haili shook the canonized edict in his hand, "Now you should call your lord the king of Nanguo County... Your lord is a person who takes one step and sees three steps. He is prepared for the rainy day and has excellent means. It is meaningless for us to speculate here. Just follow the Just do what your lord tells you."

Peng Pai took the canonized edict from Haili's hand, put it in a box in the room, and rolled his eyes.

"Don't you also call adults adults?"

Hai Li stared, "It's troublesome... I call my lord my lord, it seems close... What are you still doing here idle? Have you completed the two things my lord entrusted to you?"

Peng Pai smiled brightly, and took out a wine jar from the house, "I'll go right away."

Peng Pai changed his clothes, changed his attire, and immediately changed from an envoy to a rich young master.

Holding the wine jar, he left the post house through the back door, avoiding some spies.

After walking for an hour in Bianjing City, I arrived in front of a mansion.

The size of the mansion is small, a house with one entry and one exit, the entrance looks very barren.

The horizontal plaque hanging on the lintel was crooked, but no one took care of it.

Peng Pai tilted his head, carefully confirmed that the two characters written on the horizontal plaque were "Su Fu", and then entered the house with the wine jar in his arms.

As soon as I entered the door, I smelled a strong aroma of wine.

Looking along the aroma of the wine, I saw a person, wearing dirty obscene clothes, lying sprawled on the ground, with some empty wine jars thrown under his feet and beside him.

"I'm addicted to alcohol... This must be the Su drunkard that everyone talks about, there is no doubt about it."

Seeing Su Yijian sleeping soundly, and humming occasionally, Peng Pai started to have bad thoughts.

After looking around, he found a pile of hay in the corner of the wall. Peng Pai took one out of it, squatted down, and stabbed it into Su Yijian's nostril.

Su Yijian fell into a drowsy sleep, feeling her nose was extremely itchy, and patted it several times with her hands, but she couldn't get it off.

Someone must be playing a prank!

Su Yijian sat up and shouted irritably, "Who is teasing me?"

Su Yijian opened her eyes, and saw a gorgeously dressed rich man squatting in front of her, staring at him with a smile.

Su Yijian got up from the ground and stared at Peng Pai vigilantly.

"who are you?"

Holding the wine jar, Peng Pai smiled and said, "Old friend!"
