The last conscience of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 98 The Interesting Guest

When it comes to history, Zhao Ji is not good at it. When it comes to government affairs, Zhao Ji is not good at it.

If it comes to eating, drinking, having fun, calligraphy, painting, music, and chess...

At this time, Zhao Ji showed a side that could definitely be called a master.

"Thin white paper was the first-class tribute in the Tang Dynasty. During the Tang Dynasty, this kind of paper was sold tens of thousands of miles away through the Silk Road, and became famous all over the world. Since then..."

Zhao Ji explained everything from the history of this paper to its reputation and craftsmanship.

After speaking, Zhao Ji shook his finger, pointed at the paper on the table, and then pointed at Liang Xin.

Liang Xin stood up immediately: "Go now and deal with it again."

"Take it seriously."

Zhao Ji likes this kind of paper, especially because it has a silky feel and strong ink absorption.

With Zhao Ji's permission, the five thousand soldiers and horses in front of the palace can be mobilized at any time.

The question is, do we really need so many people?

Liang Xin was very suspicious.

After finding Lu Wenchong, Liang Xin briefly explained the matter.

Lu Wencong replied: "There are only two prefectures on the Yongxing Military Road, and the rest are prefectures. The two prefectures are Jingzhao and Hezhong. There are 2 Xiang troops in Hezhong Prefecture. The actual number is unknown. If Brother Xin is interested in Hezhong Please ask the Pan family to send one of the guards to the government, most of whom are children of the noble family, and transfer 200 of them."

"understood."

Speaking of this, if Liang Xinruo doesn't understand, this friendship will only be a friendship over drinking.

Lu Wencong made it very clear that if you want to clean up, you have to take care of the pot.

From the Hezhong mansion to the Xiang army, we also checked the local soldiers, civilian officials and military officers, no matter who they were, they just took the responsibility.

Liang Xin has already thought about it.

The positive explanation given to the court was what was written in Wang Youzhong's letter. Li Gefei had a lot of impeachments, and the front secretary of the apse escorted the northwest labor army to drink wine and passed by Hezhong Mansion.

As for myself, I will ask for an order from Wang Youzhong to inspect Hezhong Mansion.

By the way, one more trick.

Liang Xin cupped her hands at Lu Wenchong, then turned and left.

Lu Wenchong didn't care about these false gifts. He knew that Liang Xin was about to ask, so he would definitely be able to send these five thousand soldiers and horses. He would go back now and contact a few good friends, this time they were fat men.

Liang Xin returned to the palace.

Instead of looking for Zhao Ji, he went to Shang Gong Bureau.

Find Da Shang Gong and tell him bluntly, please ask Shang Gong Bureau to support 30 people. If there are many people who are free, 50 people will be fine.As for what it was, Liang Xin briefly mentioned it and asked Dashang Palace not to tell others about it for the time being. Not many people knew about it.

But the officials are angry and still have to talk about it.

After returning from this trip to Hezhong Mansion, a portion of the hard-earned money will naturally be sent to Shang Gong Bureau.

After leaving Da Shang Palace, Shang Yi Shang Gong stood there under the tree. Liang Xin walked over: "Lan Shang Palace."

"The school is safe."

After the two exchanged polite words, Lan Shangyi said: "Regarding the fact that the tax camp checked several silk shops, I went there to see them in person. They did buy low, sell high, and pass off inferior goods. The silk material shipped from Jingnan, according to the current market price, they have lowered the price by half, which is indeed a bit deceptive."

After listening to Lan Shanggong's words, Liang Xin asked: "Do you want to go out of the palace, or do you want to go out of the palace often?"

"Yes."

Liang Xin sighed: "Outside the palace is not a good place. After staying here for a long time, I am afraid that many things outside the palace will be beyond the cognition of the palace, not to mention many palace people with equally high positions."

Lan Shang Palace: "This palace is also a place of bloodshed."

Liang Xin thought for a few minutes: "I will make the arrangements. When the time is right, I will come back to discuss with the Grand Shang Palace and several other Shang Palaces."

Lan Shanggong bowed and said, "Thank you."

Liang Xin returned the gift and left. After walking a few steps, Liang Xin came back: "Lan Shang Palace." "Is there anything else going on with the school inspection?"

"Are you interested in writing a storybook?"

Lan Shanggong nodded: "Yes, but my literary talent is not up to par. Ruan Siyan, a subordinate of Shanggong Bureau, many years ago, her father asked her to accuse her, and she entered the palace as a maid. After all these years... she can be regarded as a talented woman."

Liang Xin replied: "When I finish my work for a while, Lao Lan Shanggong will introduce you to me."

Lan Shanggong saluted, Liang Xin returned the salute, and said goodbye.

Lan Shanggong didn't finish what he just said. In fact, among the women in the palace, none of them had endured so many years. She was considered good, and she married into the palace. She had a higher status than ordinary palace maids when she entered the palace. There is a better chance of moving up in Shang Gong Bureau.

Those who are the family members of criminal officials, those who pay tribute from small states, and ordinary people who are conscripted into the palace are the lowest class.

The most pitiable ones are those who were sold into the palace by their parents at a very young age.

Liang Xin went home and planned to go back to Wang Jingyu's hospital.

At this time, there were really no entertainment activities. Liang Xin planned to be a writer. The TV series she planned to copy this time was "The Palace of the Heart" from the former Xiangjiang TV.

If Ruan Siyan writes well, he will copy the play Jin Zhi again.

While thinking about it, Liang Xin walked towards Wang Jingyu's courtyard. Liang Zhong trotted over and stopped Liang Xin: "Your Majesty, there are guests arriving. Please pass the message from the small door where the servants leave."

Liang Xin took the post and said, "It seems like he is a very interesting guest?"

Liang Zhong replied: "Anyway, they look similar, but they are definitely not from the Song Dynasty, nor from Korea, nor from the Liao Dynasty."

"Tea in the flower hall."

"Yes."

Guests did arrive, two young men wearing clothes from the Song Dynasty. They looked very much like people from the Song Dynasty.

When we met, one of them knew the etiquette of the Song Dynasty, and the other held up his chest and said directly: "We are poor and cannot prepare gifts that can impress you, but my step-brother said that we have Sincerity, sincerity is a great gift.”

Liang Xin could see clearly that the other person's face was full of embarrassment.

Obviously, these words were not meant to be spoken in front of oneself.

Liang Xin laughed: "Please sit down, have you eaten? If not, I ordered you to prepare wine and food."

"I didn't eat."

"Prepare the banquet."

After sitting down, the man who looked similar to the Song Dynasty man stood up and said, "My sworn brother has not drunk any sticky drinks."

"Nianhan!" Liang Xin was really shocked: "Wanyan Sect... Wei,?"

"Yes, it can be read in Song language."

Liang Xin knew that the word Nianhan meant "Han people" in the Jin language.

Liang Xin asked the other: "I didn't ask for advice."

Nianhan said: "My adopted brother's name is Yiye."

"Sticky... liquid?" Liang Xin felt that this name was very magical.

"No, I am a Han Chinese, and my surname is Cui. I was saved by my sworn brother when I was in trouble. You can call me Cui Yiye, you can also stick to it, or Wanyan Yiye is no problem."

At this time, the banquet had been set, and Liang Xin poured wine for the two of them: "Please, drink up."

"Good wine." Nianhan is a very straightforward person, simple and straightforward.

Liang Xin doesn't drink well enough, so she rarely uses a big bowl.

Although according to Liang Xin's memory, the Northern Song Dynasty was dead and the man in front of him was his mortal enemy, at this time, Liang Xin admired Nianhan quite much. He seemed to be straightforward, but he was actually a careful person.

Wanyan Zonghan, Liang Xin could see clearly.

This person is very strong, both in terms of his ability to command troops and his behavior as a person.
