Looking at the one million taels of silver that Zhao Ding calmly put away.
Hu Tiansheng's face twitched.
Although after these few contacts, he knew that Zhao Ding's behavior could not be judged by ordinary people, but he never expected it anyway.
At the beginning, the bank note was high-sounding and unwilling to accept it, but in the end, it was received in the sleeve with peace of mind.
This is indeed a bit...
"Old Master, do you have anything else to entrust me to the king?"
After collecting the banknote and putting it into his sleeve, Zhao Ding raised his head and looked at Hu Tiansheng with a smile.
"No...no more..."
Hu Tiansheng came back to his senses, smiled awkwardly, glanced at the sky outside the window, raised his hand to Zhao Ding and said, "Your Majesty, since the matter has been settled, I will go back first and wait for the good news of Your Majesty."
Zhao Ding's face was not red and his heart was not beating, but he also bowed his hands to Hu Tiansheng and said, "Don't worry, Master."
"Okay, okay, okay."
Hu Tiansheng said three good words in a row.
After saying this, he bowed to Zhao Ding again and then followed Lu Tao outside.
Watching Hu Tiansheng’s leaving figure
Zhao Ding grinned.
I just don’t know if I can still laugh after you give away the 200,000 stones of food.
Although two hundred thousand shi of grain was not much for Dayu, it was not too little either.
Judging from Daqian's 20 million taels of silver a year, 10 million shi of grain and other taxes, this 200,000 shi of grain is almost equivalent to what a government collects in a year. Grain production.
Although it doesn't seem to be much, if you consider the population of nearly one million in a prefecture.
This is not a small amount.
No matter how good-tempered Emperor Yu was, he would probably spit out a mouthful of blood.
Of course, considering the great Yu family's great cause, it wouldn't be a big deal.
Anyway, I was completely offended, but it was not without room for redemption.
"My lord, do we really want it?"
Seeing that Hu Tiansheng's figure had disappeared at the door of the small courtyard, Zhang San looked at Zhao Ding hesitantly.
With his vision, he can naturally see it.
Although there are some benefits to be gained from cooperating with Dayu at the moment, once Beiliang really changes hands like Nanchen did and completely falls to Dayu, then it will really not be a good thing for Daqian. .
After all, Dali is no longer the Dali that could compete with Dayu.
Zhao Ding looked at Zhang San with a puzzled look on his face: "Did I say anything?"
"ah???"
Zhang San was startled for a moment, but then he quickly reacted and looked at his prince in surprise: "Your Majesty, what do you mean???"
"Shh..."
Zhao Ding hissed.
Zhang San immediately shut his mouth honestly.
Based on his experience of following Zhao Ding for so many years, he naturally knew what Zhao Ding meant by those two sentences.
Thinking of this, Zhang San looked at Zhao Ding hesitantly, squeezed his hands, lowered his head and looked at Zhao Dingdao with some embarrassment.
Zhao Ding raised his eyebrows and glanced at Zhang San: "What do you want to do?"
Zhang San glanced at Lu Tao who had not returned outside the door, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you have been in Luoyang for a while. We have been doing business here every day, and now Your Majesty..."
Speaking of this, Zhang San raised his eyebrows.
Zhao Ding grinned, and instantly understood what Zhang San meant, but the next moment his face suddenly sank, and he raised his hand and slapped Zhang San directly on the forehead: "Can you fill your head with serious things every day?"
After being slapped by Zhao Ding, Zhang San stood there feeling aggrieved and put his head on his back.
Zhao Ding glared at Zhang San angrily: "How is things going with Tian Hu? Have you arranged someone? Is there any news?"
It has been half a day since they came back.
Hearing Zhao Ding mention Tian Hu, Zhang San immediately replied: "Go back to the prince, we have already contacted him, but the time is too short, there seems to be no news over there, but what I know is that Tian Hu has already sent someone to keep an eye on him."
"Just keep an eye on it."
Zhao Ding touched his chin.
His main purpose of coming to Beiliang this time is naturally to get married, but he must also get the smelting technology, especially after seeing how sharp the sword is, he must hold it in his hand.
But for such an important thing, with Xiao Daocheng's cunningness, if he wanted to get it at the negotiation table, in addition to relying on the current methods, he had to make some more preparations.
Only by obtaining Beiliang's smelting technology could he be fully armed, update all the equipment, and innovate the things he had tinkered with in Youzhou.
"Continue to send people to keep an eye on it and notify me immediately if there is any news."
Zhao Ding gave instructions.
After saying that, he stood up and walked outside.
"My lord, where are you going?"
As soon as Zhao Ding stood up, Zhang San's eyes suddenly lit up and he asked immediately.
Zhao Ding rolled his eyes: "Sleep somewhere else."
"Forehead..."
After hearing this, Zhang San immediately touched his nose.
He glanced outside Dutingyi with a look of despair.
Those fair-looking oiran ladies have no chance with him anymore.
However, Zhao Ding was too lazy to talk to Zhang San.
Lie straight on the bed.
After spending the whole night staring in the mountains last night, he was indeed a little sleepy.
It's time to catch up on some sleep.
By the way, wait for Xiao Daocheng to send someone over.
…
Inside the Beiliang Palace.
Xiao Dingxuan stood respectfully beside Xiao Daocheng.
"Hu Tiansheng really went to find Zhao Ding?"
After listening to Xiao Dingxuan's report, Xiao Daocheng stood up leisurely, raised his head and looked out the window. There was no surprise in his words, and his tone was still extremely calm, as if he had expected all this.
"According to reports from the Imperial City Department, this is indeed the case."
Xiao Dingxuan replied respectfully, and then added: "Before my son came, people from the Imperial City Department reported that Hu Tiansheng had gone back, but what exactly he and Zhao Ding said, the people from the Imperial City Department did not know. Heard.”
"Why didn't you hear it?"
Xiao Daocheng glanced at Xiao Dingxuan with interest.
Xiao Dingxuan said with a bitter smile: "According to the speculation of the people in the Imperial City Department, Zhao Ding seems to have ordered someone to open a secret room in the room. It is precisely because of the existence of this secret room that the people in the Imperial City Department have no regard for Zhao Ding. I don’t know what exactly Ding and Hu Tiansheng talked about.”
"interesting."
After hearing this, Xiao Daocheng grinned and touched the beard on his chin but said nothing.
Seeing Xiao Daocheng not speaking, Xiao Dingxuan asked tentatively: "Father, should we send someone to summon Zhao Ding first?"
"Why do you want to see Zhao Ding?"
Xiao Daocheng raised his head and looked at Xiao Dingxuan pretending to be surprised.
Seeing Xiao Daocheng's look, Xiao Dingxuan felt inexplicably nervous. He quickly lowered his head and said respectfully: "My son is afraid that if Zhao Dingwen and that Hu Tiansheng..."
However, before Xiao Dingxuan finished speaking, Xiao Daocheng said with a smile: "Don't worry, that Zhao Ding is not a stupid person. What he can let you and me see is what he wants us to see. He just wants to use Hu Tiansheng just put some pressure on me, Liang."
At this point, Xiao Daocheng's voice suddenly changed and he told Xiao Dingxuan: "But it's true that we can meet him."
Having said this, Xiao Daocheng raised his head and glanced out the window.
There was amusement in his eyes.
