I solved crimes in the Song Dynasty and strengthened the country [Seventh Five-Year]

84 points is worse than nothing

Ever since Ye Fengqiu was caught in the prison, Jiang Lin felt that life was much easier.

You don't have to worry about being faked by someone around you, and the three secret treasures have also been handed over to the imperial court, so you don't have to worry about other forces harassing you.

The only thing that worried him a little bit was his own identity as the successor of the white tiger.

It has been almost three months since he entered this world, but the memory of the original owner is still scattered.Although Jiang Zhigao was concealed by him, and he couldn't see his strangeness, Jiang Lin would still mutter sometimes.

He wanted to find his own white tiger secret treasure, but he had no clue at all, and he didn't dare to ask Jiang Zhigao easily.

Jiang Lin could only put this matter on hold for the time being, and go to take care of the few side jobs he had started before.

The "Xueba Notebook" created by Jiang Lin has been spread with the support of Peng's family. He doesn't need to worry about too many things, and he earns a lot of money every day.Jiang Lin only had to go to the bookstore for a short tour, occasionally working as a supervisor and proofreader, and the rest of the time he was urging Sima Guang for manuscripts.

Jiang Lin really experienced the pressure of publishing and editing, but he felt a little better when he transferred this part of the pressure to Sima Guang.

Not because of anything else, but because Jiang Lin also has a way of urging manuscripts. He doesn't tell Sima Guang directly, but starts with his wife.It so happened that Sima Guang's daughter-in-law also felt that education was a big deal, so she spontaneously helped Jiang Lin to draft the manuscript.

As a strict wife, Sima Guang could only obey his wife's orders, and Jiang Lin occasionally comforted him with a few words, and he felt comfortable and caring.

Jiang Lin didn't feel that he was a "dog" at all, and said to Sima Guang with a smile: "It's really hard work for Junshi and my younger siblings. By the way, I also want to thank Junshi for getting me into Mr. Fan's This is why our "Xueba Notebook" has a chance to enter the Imperial College."

Sima Guang quickly waved his hand and said: "It's just a small matter, Junshi also took a fancy to Brother Baishi's talent. Hey, I don't know if Brother Baishi has time to come to my house for a gathering. I can recommend some talents for you to help us write together. "notes"."

Jiang Lin became interested as soon as he heard it.Although he has met many famous talents, he is also willing to meet new friends.

He suddenly remembered something: "Junshi, do you have a friend named Wang Anshi?"

Sima Guang was a little surprised and said: "Yes. Brother Baishi has heard of him too? But yes, he is also a Jinshi after all. Next time we meet, I will introduce you to each other."

Jiang Lin said happily: "Okay, I also met a new talented senior. Junshi should have heard of it, it is Mr. Su Xun who came from Langzhong."

Sima Guang said pleasantly: "I've read the articles he wrote! By the way, I remembered, he also wrote essays for the small building you just built, didn't he?"

Jiang Lin smiled and nodded.

Su Xun wrote a propaganda prose for him before to pay the rent, and now this manuscript has been circulated in the Kaifeng mansion.Su Xun's writing style is sharp and powerful, and he praised the land he rebuilt to the sky, and the house price there has more than doubled.

In a few days, the number of houses on that piece of land will be built in sevens and eighties, and it will be an objective income at that time.

Jiang Lin has no shortage of urgent money, and plans to rent out the entire house.After all, there were many merchants in the Song Dynasty, the population was relatively mobile, and when the housing price market was not completely stable, the risk of renting a house was lower, and the income was no less than that of selling a house.

After all, Jiang Lin is an official, and he needs to find someone to name him in order to do these businesses.He also reached an agreement with the Peng family. Although a few people knew about Jiang Lin's net worth, most of them thought that the Peng family had made a lot of money, and the status of the richest man in the capital had become more and more stable.

Jiang Lin didn't have to worry about food and drink, and Dali Temple didn't have so many cases to deal with. Apart from daily office work and going to court, Jiang Lin loved to wander around when he had nothing to do.

The scorching summer has come, he bought a catty of fruit smoothie and ran to Yaojie Academy.

Instead of going to see the master and brothers, I went to see Xiao Shitou.

Although Jiang Lin already knew Xiao Shitou's true identity and the future status of the other party, Xiao Shitou is still just an ordinary down-and-out clan.No one knew that he would become emperor in more than ten years.

Therefore, even though Jiang Lin couldn't let Xiao Shitou live in his home because of Jiang Zhigao's return to Jiang's house, the other party did not delay his studies and still came to Yaojie Academy to report every day.

Of course, Jiang Lin would not stop him from developing in a good direction, and even ordered Xiao Shitou to help him exercise if he had nothing to do.

After all, Jiang Lin remembered that the historical Zhao Zongshi had only been emperor for four or five years before he died of illness.Even from the perspective of a friend, he didn't want Xiaoshi to live a short life.

He urged Shao Yong to arrange all kinds of farm work for the children in the academy, in the name of improving their physical fitness.Some children are in the rebellious period, pretending to be cool and unwilling to participate in group activities, but Xiao Shitou is very active every time.

However, when Jiang Lin came to Yaojie Academy today, he didn't see a small stone among a group of students weeding and catching insects.

On the contrary, Shao Yong, who usually only meditated in the backyard, sat in the classroom uncharacteristically, and then saw that Wen Qing, who had limited mobility, was also accompanying him.

"Here you are?" Shao Yong greeted him with his eyes closed, "You are really lucky, you are still alive."

Jiang Lin chuckled: "With Master and Senior Brother protecting me, how could something happen to me?"

Shao Yong glanced at him: "Don't get too complacent, the seven catastrophes I counted for you before, now there are only two left."

"Twice?" Jiang Lin thought there was only one left - after all, there was still a treasure that hadn't been found.

He thought to himself that he had to endure too many hardships, and it was nothing more than going to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures.

But Jiang Lin didn't forget that he came here to find Xiao Shitou this time. He held up the smoothie in his hand and asked, "Where did Xiao Shitou go? Why didn't you see him today?"

Wen Qing coughed lightly twice, and said, "He said he has something to do at home, so it's not convenient to come over these two days."

Jiang Lin was startled, and was about to ask, when Shao Yong looked at him: "What's going on in his family, don't you know?"

It was only then that Jiang Lin suddenly remembered that he had only been notified this morning that he was receiving envoys from the Liao Kingdom in his womb these days and was negotiating a peace agreement between Song and Liao.The official family set up a banquet in the palace, and invited relatives and ministers from all walks of life to attend.

Rookies like Jiang Lin were all invited, and Zhao Zongshi, who almost became the prince, would naturally not be absent.

Jiang Lin slapped his forehead and said, "Hey, then I have to go back and get ready."

·

Very different from the previous full moon banquet held by the prince, this time the banquet for meeting the envoys of the Liao Kingdom was obviously more formal and dignified.

This time Jiang Lin attended with Jiang Zhigao, he kept his eyes on the whole process, and his figure was not as loose as before, for fear that his father would catch him making a mistake and criticize him harshly in front of everyone.

However, what Jiang Lin didn't expect was that his father, Jiang Zhigao, was even more "attractive" at the banquet.

Not long after they were seated, several envoys from the Liao Kingdom arrived late.After paying respects to Zhao Zhen, the man in red at the head greeted Jiang Zhigao: "Commander Jiang, long time no see, don't you come here all right?"

Jiang Lin's heart skipped a beat.Just now the eunuch announced the name of this person, it should be Yelu Zongzhen's younger brother Yelu Zongyuan who is currently in power in the Liao Kingdom.

It is rumored that this person is aggressive and good at fighting. He once invaded the border of Song Dynasty several times during the confrontation between Song and Xia, bluffing.Judging by his behavior at the moment, Yelu Zongyuan should have fought Jiang Zhigao on the battlefield.

Jiang Lin looked at Jiang Zhigao calmly, and found that although the other party saluted Yelu Zongyuan according to the etiquette, the fist hidden under the case was clenched a little bit.

But Jiang Lin remembered that if it was based on that period in history, Yelu Zongyuan should have been on the battlefield all the time, so why did he come to Kaifeng to negotiate?

Moreover, Yelu Zongyuan not only came, but also brought his wife and concubine, and his attitude when talking to Zhao Zhen was only superficially polite, but inside he was very arrogant.

However, the other envoys could match up with the characters in Jiang Lin's mind. Among the other two envoys, Xiao Temo was the consort of the princess of the Liao Kingdom, and Liu Liufu was also a minister in the court.

A small number of members of the family members left in twos and threes at the banquet, and the three envoys acted as the main mouthpieces of the Liao Kingdom, hinting explicitly and secretly that they would increase the yearly coins set by the Chanyuan Alliance.

Xiao Temo followed Mao and said, "Your country has just obtained good news in the north at this moment. It is better to pursue the victory and annihilate the rebels in one fell swoop. But if you accidentally encounter something to transfer troops, I'm afraid..."

But Song Guo knew that the Xia regime and Liao State had communicated and relied on each other long ago, so what he said was not a kind reminder, but a hint that if Song State was unwilling to increase the old currency, then Liao State might send troops to attack Song, took advantage of the fire to rob.

The ministers of the Song Dynasty who were present were not fools, so they could naturally hear the threat in his words.

Fu Bi, the prime minister in charge of the negotiations, tentatively asked, "What does your envoy mean...?"

"Liao and your country have made an alliance for many years, so naturally they will not intentionally make things difficult for Song Dynasty." Xiao Temo said cryptically, "It is rumored that there are rich shark pearls in the South China Sea of ​​your country, and one Dendrobium shark pearl can be worth a hundred gold, why not... first A thousand dendrobium?"

The theory of shark beads is nonsense, what Xiao Temo meant was to raise the old coins to one hundred thousand gold.

Everyone present changed their faces, and they all felt that the price was too expensive.

Da Song also has psychological expectations, and such a price is naturally not within the scope of consideration.

Fu Bi didn't play around with them, and said directly in dissatisfaction: "Your envoy is joking, there have never been any shark pearls in the South China Sea, and I'm afraid we won't be able to fulfill the wishes of our friends."

Xiao Temo wanted to say something more, but Yelu Zongyuan on the side spoke more aggressively: "It turns out that your country only has such a little sincerity, I'm afraid I won't be satisfied..."

Some clan members came forward to smooth things over, saying that these things should not be discussed at the banquet.The two sides pulled each other, and ultimately failed to reach a consensus at the table.

But there will be more formal and private negotiations later, Jiang Lin is not particularly worried about the final result.

Although the matter of Sui Coin is indeed shameful, and the Liao Kingdom is indeed extremely shameless, but according to the current military strength of the Song Dynasty, the cost of raising troops to fight against Liao will be much more than directly giving Sui Coin.

It's better to spend money to buy a temporary clean room, and then deal with the relationship with Liao after the Xia's affairs are settled.

Moreover, Jiang Lin felt that the number of old coins that Liao Kingdom could talk about this time should be much less than in history.

After all, with his own assistance, Da Song had already achieved several great victories in the war in the north, and he had the confidence to negotiate.Moreover, Jiang Lin remembered that in the original negotiations, the bargaining chip for the first negotiation of the Liao Kingdom should include Yelu Zongyuan's intrusion in the Northeast.

But now that his deity has no choice but to participate in the negotiation, doesn't that mean that the Liao Kingdom doesn't have the confidence to get a certain amount of old coins?

Naturally, Fu Bi and others could also see this, and continued to lower prices to the Liao Kingdom.

Maybe when this negotiation comes to the end, the Liao Kingdom won't get any money.

Therefore, Jiang Lin was not very worried about the outcome of this negotiation. The only variable he felt was Yelu Zongyuan's attitude.

The other party seemed to really not want to reach a peaceful deal.

And Jiang Lin didn't know what his physique was, and the ominous premonition in his heart always came true.

On the second day, there was a news that spread in the city.

——The wife of Yelu Zongyuan, the envoy of the Liao Kingdom, was killed in the palace during the banquet last night.

As Shaoqing, the most proficient investigator in Dali Temple, this case naturally fell on Jiang Lin's head.
