No shortage of walls

Liu Chengwen was old and naturally understood what he meant; Song Guo had a poor reputation for many years, and the other party was afraid that there would be too little and that Song Guo had no money, so he turned his hand eastwards. Said:"My Majesty, the orthodox emperor, has said, twenty thousand cattle, twenty thousand horses, twenty thousand sheep, twenty thousand dans of miscellaneous grains, cotton, etc., two or three thousand dans are required. As long as the price is right, we can turn over another There is no defense against fighting. As for the matter of clearing money and goods, Long Live My Emperor means that you pay early and pay late, and you stay overnight without leaving an account. This is settled and will never be changed."

Cheng Chunsheng originally planned to shock Liu Chengwen. He didn't expect to be frightened by Liu Chengwen. This old guy actually spoke so loudly. At first, he thought Emperor Song was teasing Xia Guo. But now it seemed that Emperor Song was serious. Jingran couldn't answer the question for a moment.

They even thought about the payment of money, and there was no intention of paying debts on credit. Moreover, the money was settled late and would never be changed.

Liu Chengwen squinted his eyes. I sneered in my heart, although I knew that the Song Kingdom was not as rich as the Xia Kingdom, but when I discussed the business for the first time, I was afraid that the Song Kingdom would have no money, and I would be looking down on a villain. If I don’t have money, what can I buy? It's just that the diplomatic matters at the moment are about business, not war, so let's take a half-step back. He said:"I have paper, fine salt, pencils, toothpaste and toothbrush from the Song Dynasty. I will demonstrate it to Mr. Cheng later."

Liu Chengwen knew that he could not agree at the moment. He asked someone to get some water and teach him how to brush his teeth. After brushing his teeth, he tried fine salt and pencil.

Liu Chengwen just said one word and turned his back on the guests. He was very proud of himself. The new emperor asked him to negotiate the business. He was really wise and powerful! I am dozens of years old, how can you, a kid from the Xia Kingdom, make things difficult for you?

Cheng Chunsheng was defeated by Liu Chengwen. He felt that he had spoken too impulsively and almost hurt the country. However, he did not have the imperial edict and could not make a decision. He then followed Liu Chengwen to brush his teeth first, then finished and hurriedly reported back to the Holy Master.

Emperor Xia was surprised. After discussing with the courtiers, Emperor Song actually came for real?

The courtiers discussed it and concluded that with such a large transaction, the court tax would be considerable, and the people would be able to earn more. However, there were indeed too many miscellaneous grains in the Xia Kingdom, and domestic grain was cheap. If someone buys it, it is better than letting it go bad. The good thing is that by selling the surplus things in the country, the people and the court will benefit; the Song Dynasty wants to buy again; killing two birds with one stone, Cheng Chunsheng and Liu Chengwen are immediately sent to formally discuss it.

We went back and forth on the price for half a month, and it was not until the second day of May that the letters of credence were officially signed.

The Xia Kingdom did not agree to sell the cattle and horses. It was only the first time for the country to trade, and more or less interested people only sold 2,000 cattle and horses. Cattle and horses are national strategic resources, and they are never willing to sell more than 20,000 sheep. But in the Song Dynasty, sheep need fat sheep, the fatter the better, 20,000 dans of miscellaneous grains, cotton, herbs, etc. are all clearly written in detail. Grain, cattle, horses, cotton, etc. will be shipped as soon as the contract is signed and delivered by Hezhou Customs; sheep have to wait for snow to be delivered. Deliveries will be made at dawn, regardless of the amount of money. If the goods and money are cleared in one day, there will never be any debt.

By doing this, the Xia State was afraid that the Song State would have no money to default on their debts.

When the news came out, Xia Min was greatly surprised.

First, the excess can be sold.

Second, the Eastern Song Dynasty had been poor for hundreds of years; it was a notoriously poor man. I had heard that the Emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty had collected the palace treasures of the Emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty; I never expected that the Xia Dynasty flower was the first one to come to Xia Dynasty. country.

The Xia people were overjoyed and rushed to register with the officials to tell them what and how much they had.

Song State sold fine salt, pencils, paper, toothpaste and toothbrushes to Xia State. Because the workshop was not built. After signing a living contract, it will be paid as soon as it is available. When Xia Guo feels that it is enough, it will be subject to the certificate of credential arriving at the Hezhou gatekeeper. The money will be cleared and there will be no debt.

Only newspapers can be on time, so Xia Guo also ordered a thousand copies to try, paying thirty-five grand each.

On the third day after the signing of the credentials, Xia Guo shipped goods to Hezhou Pass. Song Guo paid cash on delivery, which was very refreshing.

It was said to be 20,000 dans, because the Ministry of Rites of the Xia State said that there were many people in Xia and they were willing to sell. The Song State also expressed understanding and respect for the Emperor Xia's wishes in a very reasonable manner. They took more than 34,000 dans in a row before stopping.

In this way, the courtesy officer of Xia State reported back to the court. The court ministers of the Xia Kingdom expressed their approval for the Song Emperor's transactions, as they were considerate of the Xia people's mood and were willing to accept more than just letters of credence.

Emperor Xia also said that Emperor Song said:"The new emperor of Song still gives face."

So everyone in the Xia Kingdom was happy. Firstly, the new emperor of Song Dynasty was willing to give face to Emperor Xia and take care of Xia people's wishes; secondly, after selling things, the people got money, the court got taxes, and everyone was happy.

Because the new emperor of the Song Dynasty was still willing to give face, the cows and horses unknowingly became a little too much.

After Liu Chengwen signed his credentials, Tangshan Pass Changsheng sent an urgent horse back to the court to recover, while Liu Chengwen headed east to Hu Pingshan Pass.

Tangshan Pass was riding back to the court in a hurry. The orthodox newspaper published the first issue of May 17th on the transaction with the Xia Kingdom. The grains were transferred to the soldiers and people who were building roads and workshops, and the cattle were sold directly to the people. The court does not make money, it only collects taxes, Hezhou Pass is responsible for selling it, and the people buy it by themselves if they need it; the horses are handled by the Ministry of War, and the herbal medicines are distributed and sold by the imperial doctors, and they do not make any money, but only collect taxes. The cotton and other matters are handled by Cui Zheng, the workshop. The above matters have already been issued by the imperial edict. As for the sheep matter, Xue Lai has also made arrangements.

Finally, the newspaper published two short jokes.

The newspaper was sent out, and the whole country of Song Dynasty cheered. With 20,000 dans of grain, the soldiers could have enough to eat for several days, but the people were worried that the Chaoting cattle would make too much money and they could not afford it. Who knew that the Chaoting only collected taxes and made no money? Everyone was happy, and those who had money to buy cattle were , all hurriedly prepared to go to Hezhou Pass to buy cattle.

After March, the next step is the matter of the emperor's harem.

After several discussions with the ministers. In April, it was confirmed that Huang Quan's daughter Huang Ying was the queen. She was thirteen years old this year and was the second emperor. The two imperial concubines were the twin daughters of Liu Guo and were eleven years old. The two concubines are from the northern nobles, one is fourteen and the other is thirteen. There are four concubines, one is Zhu Qiaoer, and the other is the daughter of an old subordinate. There is no one in the family anymore, so they are raised in Prince Jing's manor. One is from the nobles of the southern border, and the other is a folk woman.

Therefore, on April 20th, I went to court; after all the ministers shouted long live.

Song Xing smiled and said:"You and others have not found the civil and military affairs of this dynasty, but it is my harem, which you and others care about."

Li Hua, the newly arrived left minister from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, said:"For thousands of years, the emperor's harem has been a priority. As for the courtiers, the Song Dynasty is now clear and bright, and His Majesty is wise and powerful; the courtiers must be innocent and not greedy; moral character is the most important, and there is no need to rush. Although the ministers also hope that all ministries are fully staffed and it is not so hard, but in the rush , but it is not easy."

Song Xing said:"I have to rely on you all to find more talents, but there is one thing that makes me feel a little embarrassed! Mr. Huang of the Criminal Department."

Huang Quan hurriedly came out and cupped his hands and said:"Here I am!"

"I heard my mother say yesterday that your daughter will be the queen. From then on, you will be my father-in-law. When you go to court, will I kowtow to you three times? Then sit back and ask you to kowtow?"
