Yu Ruizhi was frightened and worried, fearing that something unexpected might happen to Han Shangguo.
But the result turned out to be much smoother than he expected. The envoy from Han Shangguo was a bit polite when he conveyed the news, and it was obvious that he wanted to reach an agreement.
Yu Die was also surprised for a moment, but he understood after seeing the letter sent back from Yong Xinglan in his hand.
After Yong Xinglan traveled to Hanshangguo with Baiguo as Yi Dadong's family, he did not continue to come back but stayed in Hanshangguo because he was afraid that the seedlings given by Hanshangguo would not be cultivated successfully.
"There is a man named Wu Xu in Han Shangguo. He is a military general. He said a lot of good things for us in the court." Yu Die looked around at the envelope but couldn't see why. In the end, he could only write down the name in his heart.
"Then this time..."
Yu Ruizhi looked at Yu Die.
Yu Die placed the envelope in his hand on the candlelight and let it be swallowed up by the candlelight.
"Let's negotiate with them as soon as possible." Yu Die said: "This time I want to go back for the old lady's birthday."
The third lady told me.
Yu Ruizhi calculated the distance, "There are already people ahead. According to the distance, we should be able to arrive a few days early. If the Si Dong family sets off now, it will be a few days late to arrive, not to mention..."
Yu Ruizhi looked outside.
It's been a bit rough lately.
Even after Han Shangguo's matter has been dealt with, Xianguo and Han Shangguo will definitely continue to invade Chengzhou's domestic stores. In addition, the withdrawal of some places in the country requires Yu Die's confirmation. Now once Yu Die leaves these... …
"I'm going to break the situation and give me a way to make a living." Yu Die's eyes fell on the cloak that he had prepared for several days. "If Leping can survive in the future, it depends on this trip."
Yu Ruizhi didn't quite understand, but seeing how solemn Yu Die was, he asked the people below to quickly set a date with Han Shangguo to discuss the final matters.
On that day, Yudie's posture was lowered and lowered, and his gentle words were all making up for it. For a while, the envoy from Han Shangguo wanted to show off his posture and ask for some treasures.
But in the end, he was afraid of the boss Yi who caused turmoil in Hongliang Kingdom by showing up in Chengzhou Kingdom. He was even more afraid of Supervisor Bai, who had the absolute right to speak in Chengzhou Kingdom. In the end, he could only carry his treasures and treasures with regret. Countless cherished saplings boarded ships returning home.
On the same day, Yu Die boarded a boat back to Fengzhou. A few days later, Yu Die used his identity as the Si Dong family to meet Fengzhou Governor Mo Bian, and the journey was accelerated.
This trip to Han Shangguo can be said to be a fruitful one. The group of people didn't care what Yudie was doing, not to mention that the merchants were already very active. So when the envoy of Han Shangguo returned to the country and met with the prince, the first thing he asked the prince was whether to attack Xian. country.
"Your Highness, the war between the Chengzhou Kingdom and the Hongliang Kingdom has just started. It will definitely not end in a short time. Otherwise, Xianguo would not be able to take advantage of this period to force Leping into despair! But we, Xianguo, can do this. it is also fine!"
The messenger knelt on the ground and spoke sincerely, "Nowadays, the only one who has the prescription is Xianguo, but the fruits are all in Xianguo. Once Xianguo wants to eat alone, we will no longer be allowed to touch the prescription we got. nothingness?"
"Nothing?" Lu Jing raised his eyelids and looked at the dozen or so people kneeling on the ground.
Just four words, but a look of horror quickly appeared on the faces of more than a dozen people. The person who spoke immediately fell to the ground and begged for mercy for himself, "Wei Chen is talking nonsense! Wei Chen is talking nonsense!"
Lu Jing's face showed impatience as he shouted in panic. The guard who was guarding him when he closed his eyes and opened them immediately stepped forward, covered the man's mouth and nose, and dragged him away.
This incident made everyone present tremble, fearing that they would end up like this without knowing it.
"Master Zhang means that what I exchanged for Han Shangguo's most important treasure is rubbish... Do you all mean the same thing?"
Lu Jing's words were nothing more than an indescribable sound of denial, "No, no..."
"Otherwise, otherwise..."
"How could the things His Highness exchanged for be useless waste..."
For a moment, everyone spoke up and cleared away their relationship with 'Master Zhang' who was being dragged away.
Lu Jing smiled, and then suddenly looked at him, "I heard that you have brought back a lot of things this time?"
I have already told this person about the saplings obtained during this trip, so what I am asking now...
More than a dozen people did not dare to hesitate for a moment and said, "Yes, yes, this time the Leping caravan asked Wei Chen and others to bring a lot of accomplice gifts to His Highness, and Wei Chen and others have already been sent!"
"Yes Yes Yes!"……
Lu Jing smiled and said, "That's good, otherwise I will think that you have benefited from him, Leping, and you will have to speak to Leping in the future."
"How could it be so possible..."
"Don't dare, don't dare..."
After everyone had agreed on the strategy of presenting the country with courtesy first and fighting later, after they came out to calm down, many people suddenly came back to their senses.
The Si Dong family gave a lot of things on this trip. How could they not let the prince discover them when they brought them all back?
I mean, if the Si Dong family really wanted to give these things to them, why didn't they take them out on the second day or later, but why did they have to carry them in in such a high-profile way on the first day when they passed by with so many eyes?
Everyone's expressions turned bad for a moment.
They were sold by the Si Dong family and paid back to the Si Dong family!
"What a wonderful Sitong family! This was obviously done deliberately so that we could help her speak for her. In the end, these things actually went to the most powerful prince! This is obviously an apology gift to the prince!"
The more the group of people thought about Yu Die's attitude at that time, the more they felt that it was true, and they couldn't help but cursed several times in their hearts.
The news reached Wu Xu's ears, and the servant's narration made Wu Xu shake his head. "I don't have any means, and I don't have the ability to hide the jewelry..."
Could it be that the owner of Chengzhou Junior High School was really allowed to silently transport these things to their doorstep in Han Shangguo?
Wu Xu sighed again, "I don't blame the prince for behaving like this. It's useless to give them this thing."
The servants were silent.
He knew that it was not useless to these adults, but that it was of no great use to these people.
All the courtiers said that the prince was cruel, but in fact it could be said that he was forced to do nothing.
There are too many royal relatives in Han Shangguo, and there are also too many royal relatives with real power.
If it weren't for the prince's prestige, I'm afraid the country of Han Shang would have been in chaos because of the throne when the old emperor's health was getting worse.
"I heard those people said that the Si Dong family returned to the center of Chengzhou Kingdom when they just set off?"
Others don't know, but Wu Xu, who has been asking about Leping's news for a long time, knows that the Si Dong family rarely leaves after sitting in the fortress. The few times he left in recent years were because of important matters in Ruiyu Prefecture and Huiping Prefecture.
"Yes, my subordinates inquired about it and it seems that it is the birthday of Mrs. Bai's family."
Wu Xu frowned, "In the past few years, it was just a gift in the name of Leping, but this year is obviously a troubled time for Zhou Kingdom, but she wants to go back?"
Wu Xu raised his head and said, "I'm asking around, it should be more than that."
There was no response from Wu Xu's side, but the response from Xianguo's side arrived, but the content made Han Shangguo's court angry for several days.
"Xianguo's words are clearly saying that my country, Han, is not as good as his Xianguo!"
"It's too much to bully others by offering your country! Your Majesty! We sincerely ask your Majesty to send troops to shock us!"
"Xianguo intends to devour all the industries in Chengzhou Kingdom this time. Naturally, he is not willing to let us interfere, but Xianguo has begun to ban our businessmen from entering. Isn't this a slap in the face of our country? What are you doing? Wei Chen Second the proposal, send troops to shock!"
…
Amidst countless voices, the old emperor looked at the person standing next to him, "What do you think, Prince?"
Lu Jing glanced coldly at everyone below, and then said: "I think there is no need to waste any more time on this matter."
As soon as these words came out, the whole court was immediately silenced.
Some people looked at Lu Jing in confusion, while others just hung their heads and did not dare to say anything after the other party spoke.
The old emperor took a few breaths before asking the next question, "Why?"
"This is not what we originally expected. For it, Erchen basically just hoped to get a sum of money. In fact, we did get some these days, although it was not as good as the Leping caravan in our expectations. There’s a huge difference, but I dare to ask you, besides salt, what else can get so much silver to replenish the national treasury in such a short period of time?”
As soon as these words came out, the court became even quieter, and even many ministers who had been aggrieved before calmed down.
This is actually the case...
But that's not it either.
There are many people in the court who have such thoughts, but for a moment, you look at me and I look at you, but no one has expressed their thoughts.
"This thing came as an unexpected surprise. What we exchanged for it was only inferior seeds. Now that we have obtained the money, what else is wrong? Don't forget what we are going to do now."
Lu Jing looked at the old emperor who was sitting slumped on the throne, "Father, no matter how you sacrifice the country, it is a matter of dedicating the country. What we have to do now is to focus on ourselves. The people have been hungry for many years, and disaster relief food has been provided time and time again. Even if we continue to distribute it, there will be no effect. Now that we finally have our own food, we must not put this matter on the back burner just because of fear."
These words were loud and could be heard by everyone in the court, but Lu Jing lowered his voice later, "Now that the power is dispersed and the troops are dispersed, it would be better if they are willing to contribute when facing Xianguo. If the time comes, Xianguo escapes and attacks." Father, how long can you resist with the troops in your hands?"
The old emperor's expression did not move, and his turbid eyes looked at the royal relatives who were dressed in rich clothes below.
But these people didn't look at him. They had lowered their heads from unknown time, as if they were afraid that others would notice them.
The old emperor knew clearly that it had been going on for several days, but these people had not said a word on this matter.
They had already been humiliated by Xian Guo at the door of their home. If these people really had any integrity, they would have agreed a few times and then sent out troops, but...
I have long been accustomed to enjoying today's wealth, so how can I be willing to lose my confidence in wealth?
"The prince has thought properly, and this matter will be done according to the prince's ideas."
Finally the dust settled.
