Your majesty is awesome

Chapter 334 You go to make friends with that Xixia envoy (Part [-])
Duan Zhongping's complexion couldn't help but changed drastically, and after a long time, he forced himself to smile calmly.

"Duke Zhuangyuan was joking, then Xixia and my Great Song Dynasty are hostile states, how dare I..."

"Mr. Duan, don't be in a hurry to deny it. Do you think that what Gao said is just a guess, or is there already evidence?"

Gao Zhang turned his head and looked at this man with a half-smile and a half-smile. His business has spread all over the world, even around the Great Song Dynasty.

Duan Zhongping of Duan's business company was born in Huangzhou, Qinfeng Road, and the Duan family can be considered a wealthy family in Huangzhou.

The reason why Duan Zhongping was able to make such a big business in just a few years.

It is precisely because of his good relationship with Xixia that the smuggling business has flourished over the years.

Looking at Gao Zhang, the child prodigy champion in front of him who seemed to be smiling but not smiling, he savored his words carefully.

Duan Zhongping's face became paler and paler, and there was a big hole in his heart. He thought he was here to talk about serious business, but he didn't expect that the number one scholar would suddenly start talking about politics with him.

The pale Duan Zhongping gritted his teeth and bowed directly to the ground.

"Reporting to Mr. Zhuangyuan, the old man was indeed so powerful in the past that he was stunned, so he was with that Xixia..."

"Mr. Duan doesn't need to be like this. Someone is not from the Imperial City Division. Moreover, I am only asking this question because you, Mr. Duan, had secret dealings with Xixia in the past and conducted smuggling trade channels."

"???" Duan Zhongping directly asked Gao Zhang to be completely confused on the spot, his face full of confusion.

"..." On the side, Zhao Abban, the Secretary of the Imperial City, had a black line on his face, but he could only stand there with a black face that had no emotion.

At this moment, his mind is also a little confused. What does the champion mean?
According to his previous understanding of Duke Zhuangyuan, he hated Liao and Xixia very much, otherwise he would not try to break the harmonious relationship between Xixia and Liao.

He even gave Xixia a hard time, but now, the conversation between Gao Zhang and Duan Zhongping made Zhao Abban a little uncertain.

Fortunately, Zhao Abban, who knew the champion's integrity, decided to play it safe, and let's see what happened first.

"Please forgive me for my ignorance, Mr. Zhuangyuan. I really don't understand why you said this, Mr. Zhuangyuan?"

Duan Zhongping's old heart is beating wildly at this moment, after all, Song and Xixia are hostile countries.

As for his smuggling behavior, to put it more seriously, he directly chopped up his family on the charge of communicating with foreign countries.

"Mr. Duan, get up quickly. It seems that Gao didn't make it clear. In fact, Gao is thinking of using your relationship to let you deal with that Western Xia envoy, Weiming Yeguang..."

"Dealing with the Xixia envoys?" Duan Zhongping stared blankly at Gao Zhang who had already stood in front of him, but his mind was buzzing non-stop.

The old man really wants to hold a handful of grass, so that you know, the champion, that the old man is just a grass man.

"That's right, come on, Mr. Duan, take your time and listen to Gao talk to you carefully."

#####
Standing behind him, Zhao Yabanzhi, who had been making up mud-bodied wood carvings, stared at his ears, not daring to miss any details.

After all, when the wise and resourceful No. [-] Scholar asked himself to investigate the owner of the Duan's Trading Company, Zhao Abban only treated him as the old and serious No. [-] Scholar in order to see clearly what kind of person the partner was.

As far as the Imperial City Division is concerned, it can be said that there are many merchants in the Song Dynasty secretly conducting smuggling trade with Naxixia and Liao.

Therefore, it would not be surprising even if it was found out that Boss Duan, who was born and raised in Huangzhou on Qinfeng Road, had business dealings with Na Xixia.

Surprisingly, this child prodigy champion didn't say much after getting Duan Zhongping's information before.

However, since he was flirting with the boss of Duan's Trading Company in front of his own face, there must be a reason for him.

Even if you can't understand it yourself, if you go back and ask Yang Duzhi to analyze it carefully, you should be able to understand it.

What came to my ears was the immature but gentle yet powerful voice of Mr. Zhuangyuan.

It means, I know that you have a very close relationship with Xixia Zhuoluo and the important personnel of the Southern Army Division, and you have also done a lot of business.

Therefore, I hope that you can deal with that Xixia envoy in the name of trying to bribe the leader of the imperial guards in the guard house...

Duan Zhongping stared blankly at Gao Zhang who was sitting next to him, and narrated to himself how to meet the Western Xia envoy named Ye Guang.

Try to make friends with each other, it is best to provide Weiming Yeguang with all the convenience he wants, so as to gain the intimacy and trust of the other party.

After Gao Zhang left for a long time, Duan Zhongping slowly came back to his senses.

At this moment, Duan Zhongping, who has become the leading wealthy businessman in Bianliang, Tokyo since the reign of Shenzong, really couldn't cry.

Until this time, his son Duan Dalang stepped into the house, saw his father's expression, and asked with concern for a long time.

Only then did Duan Zhongping shake his head in frustration, and did not tell his son the truth.

After all, this incident really made Duan Zhongping feel a little unbelievable.

Besides, telling my own son, not only can't solve any problems, but it will make relatives at home worry.

It's better to take a step first, and this champion who has never left Bianliang, Tokyo is very sure that the central and southwestern regions of Xixia are the most suitable for growing cotton.

If Duan Zhongping hadn't grown up in the Qinfeng Road area since he was a child, the people in the Qinfeng Road states would also grow some cotton to fill clothes and bedding to keep warm.

I am afraid that he will be like most people, thinking that cotton will only grow in the south. After all, most of the cotton grown in the Song Dynasty is in the southern Xinjiang area of ​​the Song Dynasty.

#####
"Da Lang, the old man entrusted you with an important task, continue to buy cotton, the more the better..."

"In addition, my father will immediately write a letter to your second brother, asking him to recruit more weavers."

"There is also the weaving workshop we prepared before. The scale is too small, and it must be expanded as soon as possible..."

After Duan Dalang left quickly after hearing Duan Zhongping's instructions, Duan Zhongping sat down slowly.

No matter what, as long as Duan's trading company can continue to have money and make a lot of money, so what if I sell my old bones to that prodigy number one scholar Gao Zhang?
This number one scholar Gao Zhang has a very good reputation, and he doesn't look like a ruthless person who likes to kill donkeys.

Otherwise, why should he really abide by the agreement to cooperate with Duan's Trading Company?

On the charge of communicating with foreign countries, he directly threw his family to the Imperial City Secretary, and it was over, and then calmly took Duan's trading company away.

But the other party didn't do that, but wanted to make himself hook up with the Western Xia envoy, so that the other party would be full of affection for this old man with chrysanthemum patterns on his face.

Of course, this kind of goodwill is a serious one, taking the opportunity to do more business with Na Xixia...
