I became the son of Renzong

About five or six days have passed, five or six days have passed in the morning.Zhao Xi really didn't know how long Liaoxia's envoys had asked for.

Liaoxia's real purpose was finally revealed.

Asked Guochao to contribute the craftsmanship of the musket... This request, Guochao's embassy unexpectedly passed it back.

"Change the embassy escort..."

Is this a statement?It should count.

When the envoy made the request, the accompanying envoy did not refuse on the spot, but the court directly replaced the accompanying envoy.This should be regarded as a statement, but it is a bit too euphemistic...

In this matter, it seems that Guochao seems to be playing...

With the replacement of the escort, all negotiations have to start again.

It will be a month or so, and Zhao Xi didn't really care about it, all his mind was on preparing for this big battle.

I have to be careful. Over the years of confrontation between Guochao and Xixia, Guochao has developed Xiaphobia in Guochao... It should be said that warphobia is more suitable, and I am afraid of fighting anyone.

This time, Zhao Xi wanted to take the lead by himself, and wanted to use this battle to arouse the long-suppressed ambition of the kingdom.Therefore, it must be won!

The improvement of military equipment and the rotation training of soldiers still cannot make Zhao Xi feel at ease.

After all, he didn't know much about legion warfare in this era, and he was even more unfamiliar with cavalry... Annan's so-called cavalry was insignificant, and that kind of combat method was not suitable for fighting against the Western Army.

Therefore, he was very cautious, and spent all his free time in the guard camp, allowing Di Qing, Zhong Yi, Zhe Ke, and all the guard battalion soldiers from the Western Army to make a sand table model of the entire border with Xixia based on their impressions and memories.

It was another time when Zhao Xi felt that the Liao Xia envoy had been in the court for a month.

I feel like I'm here to mess around...

"Your Majesty, the envoy of Liaoxia Zhengdan proposed that if the imperial court and Liaoxia refer to the wool textile formula and technology, Liaoxia can reduce the original yearly gift by [-]%!"

Whoops!This... Should I say that the companion is smart, or just define it as a stupid pig?

To put it bluntly, he actually knew how to propose it in the early court, so as to win as many alliances as possible.

Let's say he's smart, but he's actually a fool... It's estimated that there are quite a few courtiers and courtiers like this.

"Your Majesty, all the ministers and workers, shepherding sheep is not the official business of the people of the country, but because of the purchase of wool, the country's coins flowed out. Now, Liaoxia has this request, and it can reduce the yearly gift. I think it can be discussed!"

Look, there really is such a stupidity...

Zhao Xi didn't say a word, Zhao Xi really couldn't arouse the interest of arguing with this kind of people.

Chapter 290

Perhaps it should not be defined as stupidity, it is a cognitive problem.

Originally, there was no wool weaving in the dynasty, and the people lived the same way.Now that woolen textiles are available, life in the country has not changed much.

As for the tax income, compared with the yearly gifts given to Liao Xia every year, it is really incomparable.

Sending this craftsmanship out and reducing the age gift by [-]% is... cost-effective for the court.

Anyway, I didn't get involved in the business... This should be the most critical one.

"I agree! Your Majesty, woolen textiles have all kinds of harm and no benefit to the country. Wool spinning and silk, in addition to making the people of the country greedy for pleasure, can't eat when hungry, and can't drink when thirsty. Now it is convenient to reduce the gift of the year. The minister thinks, feasible!"

"The minister agrees..."

"The minister agrees..."

"The minister agrees..."

After Zhao Xi arrived, all he could hear in his ears were the words: minister seconded.

Take it, really take it.Zhao Xi couldn't even figure it out, did these people really not understand, or did they not see that Guochao had a business that he didn't get involved in?

I really don't want to bicker!

"Your Majesty, all the ministers and workers, this king suggests that all the ministers and workers who seconded the proposal to hand over the woolen weaving technology may adopt a son as a servant of the Liaoxia nobles."

"Your Highness..."

What Zhao Xi said was a purely personal attack.

Fu Bi is also very angry, he can naturally understand His Highness's mood, the problem is that this is the court, not the market.This remark is too much at this time.

"Your Majesty, I have impeached His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for being rude!"

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness is above the court hall..."

"Your Majesty, all the ministers, can you let Xi finish speaking first, to see if it makes sense, and then discuss whether it is the emperor's disrespect?"

Zhao Xi didn't have any self-consciousness about being out of style, and he wasn't even annoyed, and he still spoke slowly.

"Is it considered disrespectful for you to interrupt the king's statement of reasons like this? Or is it because the envoys of Liao Xia and you have ulterior motives that you will not allow different voices from the court?"

"Blood spurts!"

"Look... I interrupted the king to state his reasons again!"

Zhao Xi really doesn't like bickering, especially this kind of bickering that doesn't make any sense at all.

But with such a passionate discussion, it seems that there is a tendency to reach a consensus.Therefore, he had to say a few words, but he didn't want to be interrupted all the time when he was speaking... This kind of thing is most common during court meetings.

Therefore, Zhao Xi could only use this method of approaching scoundrels to shut up the nonsense people first.

Well, yes, it still worked, and finally no one said anything.

Only then did Zhao Xi clear his throat...

"If Guochao is regarded as a father, what are his children? Have you ever thought about it?"

"Industry! Any kind of industry of Guochao can be regarded as the children of Guochao's father. Water transportation is, steelmaking is, farming is etc. All industries that generate income for the court belong to Guochao's father. child."

"As for wool spinning, it's like a newborn in your family... No, it should be a youngest son who has just reached school age. Just because you are an heir to farming and studying, and your youngest loves martial arts, are you going to abandon it?"

Originally thought of a very strict rhetoric, after finishing speaking, Zhao Xi felt that it was not so strict, it was a bit far-fetched.

"Nizi, don't worry about it!"

"Although I interrupted this king's statement again, what you said is an inhuman statement. This king doesn't care about it, because it is hard to tell who is not human when discussing with non-human beings."

In fact, Zhao Xi is still grateful to this person, at least he changed the topic directly, and basically accepted this metaphor.

"All of you are familiar with the books of sages and became ministers of the court. Do you remember that there are sages who guide you to abandon your children?"
