Inside the Honglu Guesthouse.
As the Beirong delegation left, the crowd gradually dispersed.
Fang Zhengyi didn't talk to anyone else.
Needless to say, Zhang Shi, the two of them have always looked at each other.
Chen Hong, the minister of Honglu Temple, had nothing in common with him.
He simply took the prince and the reporters back to sort out the manuscript.
I got a wave of wealth codes today! The newspaper will be a big seller tomorrow!
We Dajing people love to see this!
After watching the grand scene of Waiguoren worshiping, I feel confident!
Then the popularity and advertising fees of Banshan Daily have soared?
At this time, there were still several petty officials coming in and out of the yard.
Chen Hong and Zhang Shi stood in the courtyard. Chen Hong looked in the direction of the Moon Gate and sighed: "This is such a big move. I didn't expect that the Beirong mission could stay for so long, and the trade agreement between the two countries was actually concluded!
Zhang Shi smiled faintly: "Your Majesty also has the intention to promote it, and the treasury is empty. If the attack continues, I, the Minister of Household Affairs, will no longer have to work. Even if I squeeze my old bones dry, I will not be able to make money."
Chen Hong laughed: "That makes sense, but Mr. Fang is really rich, and he actually bought so many high-quality fairy teas and diamonds."
"There are so many cars... Hey, it's a good thing to be able to get such in-demand goods."
Upon hearing Fang Zhengyi's name, Zhang Shi's face instantly showed displeasure, but he quickly returned to normal.
He said coldly: "Everyone knows how wealthy Taoyuan County is now. It is natural for Fang Zhengyi to be rich."
"To be able to return the favor to the envoy on behalf of His Majesty...it certainly has some ability."
Chen Hong frowned.
On behalf of His Majesty, please don’t say this nonsense!
Overstepped.
Although everyone knows that you two don't deal with each other, there is no need to say such harsh words.
Didn’t your son pass the exam? Even if you do, don’t tell me!
Just when Chen Hong was about to open his mouth to end the topic, a clerk hurriedly ran to the two of them.
He said with sweat: "Two adults! There is something missing from the Beirong mission's goods!"
"They missed a room when they were counting the goods!"
Chen Hong was shocked: "What! All the goods in one room are missing? Quick, show me the way and take a look!"
The clerk nodded and immediately turned around to lead the way.
Chen Hong and Zhang Shi followed closely.
Arriving at the room where the cargo was stored in the passenger cabin, Chen Hong looked at the six large boxes in front of him and frowned again.
This is the tail room, and it is still in a dark corner. There is indeed a possibility of missing something.
It’s just that the Beirong mission was too careless! A whole room of goods was missing.
He immediately called to the clerk on the side: "It is indeed the mission's belongings. They shouldn't have gone too far! Send someone quickly to notify the mission to pick it up!"
The clerk was about to go out quickly, but Zhang Shi stretched out his hand to stop him.
"Wait a minute, don't rush."
"Master Zhang, what are you...?" Chen Hong looked a little confused.
Zhang Shi looked confused and whispered: "You just... don't want to see what's in here? What if there is something useful?"
"Isn't this... not good?" After what he said, Chen Hong suddenly realized and couldn't help but feel a little moved.
"Beirong is the enemy at the border!" Zhang Shi said calmly.
"Then let's see!" Chen Hong agreed without hesitation.
What morals are there about things from a former enemy country? Just look at it!
"Go out and send a few more people to guard outside the guest house. If someone from Beirong comes to the door, don't let them in. Report here first!"
"Yes!" The clerk responded and turned around to go out.
The light in the room was not good and it looked very dark.
The two began to slowly select a box to open, and couldn't help but lean over to take a closer look.
The box contains a box full of books... almost all the books in the world are in this big box.
Chen Hong sighed: "This Grand Master Paba is very good at learning. I didn't expect to buy so many books."
"No wonder he is so familiar with our country, and his conversation is almost the same as mine."
Zhang Shi nodded and said nothing.
Everyone discovered this when discussing trade matters with Praba. This man was very eloquent and spoke and behaved in a polite manner.
It was obviously hard work.
Then he opened the second box, which contained all kinds of specialties from Dajing Market, but there weren't many valuable things.
Until I reached the deepest box, which seemed to contain clothes and personal belongings.
Chen Hong took a closer look: "These are Praba's clothes. I saw him wearing the top one. I don't know what's underneath. Be careful not to mess it up."
The two of them flipped through the pages carefully. Chen Hong suddenly looked happy, picked up a book at the bottom and said, "This turns out to be the account book of the Beirong Mission!"
Zhang Shi also had a look of surprise on his face: "Quickly translate it for me and see what's written on it?"
Chen Hong leaned close to the window and looked down, saying: "This... it records the expenditure on purchasing items in the capital, as well as the prices of goods in various places in the capital."
"Haha... This Grand Master Praba is so meticulous that he even wrote down the price of a needle."
Zhang Shi felt a little excited. It looked like he was lucky. There were really good goods inside!
Chen Hong muttered in his ear, and he continued to rummage in the box. After a while, he found several more booklets and several pieces of silk with writing on them.
Zhang Shi hurriedly handed it over: "Look at these again, what's written on them?"
Chen Hong first picked up the silk, glanced at it, and said with trembling excitement: "This should be the edict given to him by King Wutu of Khan...it also has his seal on it!"
"It is indeed a private item! He actually missed such a thing!"
"What are you writing? Translate it!" Zhang Shi said anxiously, stretching his neck.
Chen Hong shook his head quickly: "There's nothing important, it's just some entrustments."
After reading the edict of King Khan Utu, he picked up a few other books and read them quickly: "These are ordinary."
"They are all account books, recording prices, customs, and the list of officials in my Dajing officialdom."
"What a guy! This Paba actually remembered everything he said to me!"
"I didn't expect that Beirong, a barbarian land, would have such a strong man."
Chen Hong rambled on, praising Paba all the time. Suddenly his eyes froze and he choked in his throat.
My eyes widened when I read the contents in the booklet!
Seeing his expression, Zhang Shi suddenly frowned, pointed at the content above, and urged: "What is written here?! Is there something important? Don't be stunned, translate it quickly!"
Chen Hong stared at the booklet, his eyes flickering.
Then he raised his head stiffly, looked at Zhang Shi, swallowed and said, "It says..."
"Fang Zhengyi promised Paba... that if the two countries do business, Taoyuan County will provide him with a large amount of iron for trading. For this reason, Paba also gave him 60,000 taels of silver as a favor."
"It takes five full pages to record the secret conversation between the two!"
