Dress as a villain
Chapter 219 The Establishment of Diplomatic Relations between Xintianjing and Anluo
A Erqian and Shan Yuhou were not caught.The top general of the [-] Hungarian soldiers was Banaro, the upper guard.
Fifty thousand Hungarian soldiers are not a small number for surrendering troops. The northern Huxiong side only sent a few letters to communicate with Xintianjing, and their attitude towards surrendering troops changed every day.
This is related to the differences in the internal forces of the Northern Huxiong.
Empress Dowager Liu Zi of Northern Huxiong didn't want to take back the surrendered soldiers for the time being, because the surrendered soldiers officially supported Yuan Daliluo.Liu Zi felt that it would be a day if it could be delayed.
The people headed by the ministers of Northern Huxiong wanted to talk to Wang many times.Finally someone slipped in to meet the king, but the king became very taciturn.Ask him where the country witch has gone?Neither did Wang.
Many people think that Wang also took the Xiaoyao Pill, but was kidnapped by the Queen Mother instead.
The ministers of Northern Huxiong began to organize people to rescue the king.Unexpectedly, the king was arrested and exiled by the king on the grounds of trespassing on the palace and treason.In one fell swoop, it shocked the entire northern Huxiong.
So much so that Al Ja and Shan Yuhou didn't come back, and Bei Huxiong didn't care.Only the Al family and the Shan family sent people to look for them.
The two of them just throw it away when they are done using it.
North Huxiong's side was temporarily delayed due to the war, and Banaro was exposed by Xie Bing again to the lie of the third warrior, Panatu.Crush the trust of [-] surrendered troops in Banaro.
The prisoner-of-war camp was set up on the border of the destroyed Xiongguo.
None of the [-] surrendered soldiers made trouble, and many people had hoped that Banaro would lead them to fight back.Unexpectedly, Banaro himself was not clean.The secret was exposed, leading to internal division of the fifty thousand soldiers.
In addition, the lord of the state of Lu Fu Ling followed Xie Bing to appease the surrendering soldiers from time to time, and the surrendering soldiers were no longer as panicked as before.
Now Xintianjing frequently contacts Bei Huxiong, offering conditions in exchange for 10 surrendered troops.Bei Huxiong only offered [-] taels, and was willing to redeem a group of people back.
And the 10 taels was enough money raised by the Bana family and other guard families.
Xintianjing said that 5000 people can redeem up to 5000 people. 5000 people is already the limit.And the quota of 5000 people was transferred to Xiongguo, and it is said that only [-] soldiers can go back.
Let the surrendered soldiers feel disappointed with their mother country.The morale of the army is floating.In the end, the public payment order picked 5000 people to go back.By the way, send Banaro and some of the guards back.
Those whose families were weak had no way to return to their home country, and many of them chose to commit suicide.
Gong Fuling reported the matter to Xintianjing.
A new surrender order came down.At the beginning, there was no promise to drop troops, and then the public payment order drove 5000 people to work in the farmland, or to build roads.Exactly 5000 people, as many roads as can be built.Because 5000 people need to eat a lot of food.
The state of Lu often used sweet potatoes instead, and the cooks in the state of Lu were not good at cooking. Every time the sweet potatoes were cooked, they were as sticky as swill. When did the soldiers eat such a bad thing?Immediately knocked on the bowl and shouted dissatisfaction.
Xie Bing went out to kill a few people who deliberately incited people to make trouble, and then arrested those who followed suit and locked them in a dark room for a few days.
Then let someone change the cook from the Central Plains to stop.
The disturbance caused by the soldiers surrendered was relatively small. From time to time at night, some people wanted to escape, which caused a lot of trouble for Lu Guo and Xie Bing.After all, 5 people is quite a lot.Many people do not accept the Central Plains people.
This incident reached Xie Lanzhi's ears. She felt that the fighting power of the Xiong soldiers was good, and it was normal for her to only recognize her own motherland.
No one will easily betray their hometown.
Moreover, 5000 people can't be killed at will, so Xie Lanzhi asked the subordinates to disperse the surrendered troops, and then spread them to the central area, the less the better.
Originally, the surrender was intended to capture the Central Alliance, but now the surrender is divided into various places, which can be regarded as entering the Central Alliance to a certain extent.
The Central Plains has a vast land and abundant resources, and the 5 people were dispersed as soon as they were said to be scattered. The number of people who gathered together did not exceed a hundred people, and they were very scattered.In villages, towns and mountainous areas, they are only allowed to work hard to build bridges and roads.Raise farm animals.
Northern Huxiong has never come to acquaintances, and the surrendered soldiers no longer have expectations over time.Most people are disappointed in their home country.
Recently, Xintianjing has been busy with the ownership of various parts of the Central Alliance.
Because there are only two countries left in the ten countries, and the eight countries are destroyed, naturally they cannot be re-established.The royal families of several small countries were slaughtered.The remaining stragglers began to gather because the Huns surrendered, and they were not broken into an army at all.
Disagreements arose within the Xiaowang family.
Si Qitong could not avoid the loss of the interests of the collective among the small countries. She announced that she would not restore the Eight Kingdoms, and invited Ma Liuguo and other relatives to live in Xintianjing.And the young master of Ma Liu Guo was named Ma Liuhou.
The other small countries are divided into princes, and the remaining two countries actively follow the example of Lu.Close to Xintianjing.
As for the land, Xintianjing was nationalized.Incorporate the skirmishers of various countries into the reserve army of the Jingwei Army, and send Xie soldiers to train these reserve troops.
Skirmishers from various countries are also very willing to join the Jingwei Army.There are also 8 stragglers from various countries.
The Jingwei Army in Xintianjing has expanded from 30 to 40.The addition of new military services has brought greater challenges to Xintianjing's logistics.
Originally, food for 30 people was only needed, but now the pressure has increased by [-]%.
Although Tianjing's food supply is sufficient for the time being, it will inevitably encounter difficulties in the future.
Some tax officials have suggested tax increases, because Si Qitong has not raised taxes for a long time, and it is beneficial to the national treasury to increase taxes in peacetime.Save money and open up the flow.
Si Qitong needs so many reserve soldiers, but she doesn't want to raise taxes either.
This is a problem that has been encountered throughout the ages.The same goes for Si Qitong.
She feels that it is necessary to increase income and reduce expenditure, and more importantly, to increase revenue and expenditure for the national treasury.In the traditional way, to increase the revenue and expenditure of the national treasury, we will first look inward.
The entire Southern Central Plains business represented by Xintianjing is not well developed, and there is no circulation in various places.Everyone knows that it can only develop towards the outer seas and turn to open up the internal economy.
Now the agricultural economy is also very simple, self-sufficiency is easy, and the people tend to be stable and unwilling to travel.Even if they are businessmen, most of them are Xie businessmen running around.Tianjing merchants like to wander in the south and don't like to go to sea.Most tend to be conservative.
Xie Lanzhi thought for a while, and directly proposed the idea of re-establishing trade with the four Southeast Asian countries.Enrich the types of domestic agriculture, and expand major industries based on the foundation of food, clothing, housing and transportation.
"What the imperial court has to do is to maintain stability, and then clearly point out a general direction for everyone to go. The business only needs to be handed over to the merchant, and the merchant will know how to do it."
Si Qitong said: "It's a good thing to talk about business in business, but the inferiority of businessmen is always difficult to cure."
The behavior of merchants in successive dynasties caused great trouble to the court.If this group of mobile people forms a trend, it will increase the cost of court governance.
Xie Lanzhi said: "So all dynasties have adopted the method of blocking rather than sparse, to treat the symptoms rather than the root cause, and even the rulers are afraid of the flow of people, so they are neglected to cultivate."
"Because the foundation of a country is food."
"But now we have built roads on all sides, have firearms and cannons, and the advantages of weapons are enough to deter the enemy and deter internal enemies."
"If you are worried about the costs caused by liquidity, these costs should be regulated by the merchants themselves and diluted separately."
Si Qitong had already set up a chamber of commerce before, and was doing some transportation in the court.Now Xintianjing's transportation industry has expanded to the southern region.The transportation industry solves many livelihood problems.
Agriculture is now very developed.The transportation industry, agriculture, salt industry and water conservancy have always been the key tax collection areas of Xintianjing.
Si Qi Tong said: "I don't feel relieved to support others, what good candidates does Lanzhi have?"
Xie Lanzhi guessed that she wanted to set an example as a national businessman, but also wanted to abide by the tradition. Businessmen would not be officials, and the military would not talk about businessmen.A businessman is a businessman.The merchants must be separated and firmly controlled by the court.
She proposed a candidate: "The businessman of the Xie family can be the main force to go to sea, but I think Si Bogong can be the representative."
A gleam of joy flashed in Si Qitong's eyes: "That's it."
Soon in the Prince's Mansion, Si Bogong was still happily telling stories with his little grandson in his arms, and Si Qitong's imperial order came.
He was ordered to use the popularity of the four seas to establish a state-owned business group from the Central Plains to travel to the four countries of Nanyang and reopen the maritime trade route.
The previous emperors of the Jin Dynasty had thought about opening up maritime trade and increasing revenue and expenditure, but most of them were conservatives in China.Coupled with the fact that the national strength is getting weaker and weaker, so many times it doesn't matter.
Even the former Emperor Xicheng thought about it, and he sent someone to contact him.It's just that the business is not done frequently.It is easy to interrupt if something happens, and it can only barely maintain the influence of the outside world.
The four countries in Nanyang know about the Great Jin Dynasty, but they only know about Emperor Wen of Jin 100 years ago and Emperor Xicheng 23 years ago.
Emperor Xicheng still left some influence in the four countries of Nanyang, and now the daughter of Emperor Xicheng has the potential to rule the Southern Central Plains and spread it to Nanyang.In fact, the four countries of Nanyang have been looking forward to it for a long time. They are too dependent on the products of the mainland.Similarly, the four countries of Nanyang also have seafood and various rare minerals that are not found in the mainland.
The four countries of Nanyang have maintained a sense of attachment to the Central Plains for thousands of years. Even if it was interrupted for 20 years, there are still kings who continue to pay tribute to Tianjing and maintain contact.
Maintaining state-to-state ties with the Central Plains has been the consensus of the four Southeast Asian countries for hundreds of years.This consensus is still working for now.
Si Bogong accepts the imperial order to travel overseas.He asked that in addition to the merchants of the Xie family, outstanding merchants from the South Central Plains must be selected to send representatives to accompany them.
So Gongsun Feng, the richest businesswoman in Shiguo Mansion, stepped forward.
Gongsun Feng stood up and immediately caused an uproar in Tianjing.Gongsun Feng belongs to Si Qitong.Si Qitong was the first to recommend her to join the International Chamber of Commerce.
The businessman of the Xie family was replaced by Xie Fengqing's cousin Xie Wei.Xie Lanzhi chose him specially.
She selected two thousand elites from Xie Xia's sailors to accompany her.Since she knew the common sense of going to sea, she specially ordered a batch of booklets to be issued, one for each.
Emperor Xicheng accumulated a lot of knowledge about going to sea during that period, but it was all classical Chinese that was difficult to read.In addition to the scholarly families of the aristocratic and royal families, the merchant group has a high literacy rate, and many merchants are limited to common Chinese characters.Therefore, the brochure promoted by Xie Lanzhi was easy to understand and catchy, and was quickly sought after by businessmen.
This time we went to the four countries of Nanyang, which are countries that have a sense of attachment to the Central Plains, so Xie Lanzhi and Si Qitong don't have to worry about the four countries of Nanyang attacking the business groups.
Seven days later, Si Bogong took Gongsun Feng, Xie Wei and other businessmen to the four countries of Nanyang.
The news of going to the four countries of Nanyang did not spread everywhere, and it was very low-key.At that time, Wei Yuan, a great scholar who had gone to sea, published a storybook [Pictures of Sea Country], describing his longing for the sea.What Jinshan silver mine.An inexhaustible sea fish.In some places there is no winter, only spring.There is no rice to eat a kind of beans as a staple food.And so on resources and customs.
This script was noticed by Xie Lanzhi and Si Qitong, and Si Qitong immediately promoted the publication of marine pictorial records, and the imperial court printed and distributed [-] copies.All major libraries collected it one after another, and it became a popular item among students in no time.
Xie Lanzhi also paid for the artist to paint the content and spread it among the people.
All of a sudden, the sea charts became the most popular folk tales and picture books among the people.
Merchants saw that there was a lot of money to be made, and they invited people who had traveled to sea one after another, and asked their husbands to write and reissue.Imitating sea charts actually has a lot of benefits.However, it was quickly copied.
The businessman himself once made trouble with the government.
Si Qitong took the opportunity to promote copyright and fined the plagiarists.And it is clearly stipulated that the exact same content cannot be copied and used for private use.
In fact, the Jin Dynasty has long had laws on the authenticity of printing, and it must support genuine printing.It's just that the cost of printing books is high, even if others copy them, they have to pay the cost, let alone sell them to the common people.The common people don't know a few big characters.
However, for the imperial examination held three years ago, Tong Xie Lanzhi, Si Qi, specially invested in the construction of many schools in order to open up the imperial examination channels.
Many children from grassroots families in Tianjing have been educated for three years.These children who have studied for one or two years can basically recognize characters and understand scripts.Let alone a picture book.
There are more people who can read and write, and the storybook will be easier to sell.This inspired the writing method that Da Jin had never used much.
And children who have studied for three years are basically recruited by the Ministry of Industry as apprentices.
At least the majority of people in Tianjing have no worries about food and drink, and are able to send their children to school.In addition, Xie Lanzhi specially subsidized instead of directly free, and hired some gentlemen to contribute their knowledge.
These students who failed the exam, if they don't want to take the exam again, they can still become teachers to impart knowledge.
Si Qitong attaches great importance to these people, and distributes some allowances to these gentlemen every year.Make them more decent during the holidays, and continue to contribute to the teaching of books.
Xie Lanzhi made a calculation and spent a lot of money.It seems that making money is imminent.
Si Qitong reacted faster than her and immediately thought of An Luo envoy and Marilyn who were raised in the State Guest Mansion.
Si Qitong arranged for Marilyn to enter the palace.
Xie Lanzhi subconsciously wanted to hide, because this woman was so enthusiastic.Now that Little Phoenix was in front of her again, she didn't dare to let Marilyn get close to her, otherwise she would be the one to suffer.
Soon the palace's pro-army went to invite Marilyn.
Marilyn was still shopping on the street at this time, and she hired ten maids to carry things for herself.I am very interested in the gadgets of the Central Plains, but not interested in the new weapons or other crafts produced by the Ministry of Industry.In Tianjing, Marilyn felt that there was no better country for eating, drinking and having fun than the Central Plains, but she was also worried that the clock in the Central Plains was passed on by hand, if there were corona and water clocks in the palace.
But when it comes to folks, they can only rely on beating gongs to fix the spot.
It's really inconvenient, but in contrast, the roads in Tianjing are very well built, which is better than the dirt roads after leaving the castle in An Luo Kingdom.
Especially for things like cement, Marilyn wanted to buy Fangzi to go to her home country.Building the highways of her mother country.
Marilyn waved the folding fan she bought, asking people to hurry back to the State Guest Mansion.
Seeing the aunt's return, the soldiers hurried up to inform: "Miss Marilyn, Your Highness has called you to Jianzhang Palace."
"It seems that His Highness is finally done with his work." Marilyn was overjoyed immediately, she gave the folding fan to the army, turned around and invited a carriage to take her to the palace.The remaining soldiers put away their folding fans and blushed a lot.An Luo's woman was indeed open.
Marilyn entered the palace unimpeded, and her passionate character made every soldier in the palace blush.Therefore, she also became the most controversial figure inside the palace.
The maids felt that Marilyn did not abide by the virtues of a woman and flirted with men every day, which was very indecent.There are also court ladies who envy Marilyn's free and unrestrained personality and lifestyle.
Most of the pro-military admire Marilyn, after all, Marilyn's beautiful face and sexy figure are there.
However, people in the Central Plains always expressed their love in a very tactful way, and no one dared to pursue Marilyn after going back and forth.
Marilyn was very depressed.When she went to the Nanyang four countries, she was very admired and pursued by the princes, and even their generals wanted to pursue her.
Why did the men in the Central Plains not move when they arrived in the Central Plains?Marilyn couldn't help touching her face, suspecting that she was unattractive.
Thinking that she had been cheated by a woman, Marilyn also gave up having an affair in the Central Plains.
People from the Central Plains left a certain shadow on her view of love.It's okay not to love but don't cheat.
Marilyn walked into the Jianzhang Palace and knelt down to the condescending Highness in the treasure hall: "Dear Princess, what advice do you have for Marilyn?"
Seeing her frowning, Si Qitong didn't know how to hide his emotions, and he didn't care about offending Tianwei at all.
Jingchen, who was standing beside him, had long been dissatisfied.I think Anluo people are vulgar and impolite.
Si Qitong took the initiative to care about her: "Miss Marilyn, what's bothering you?"
Marilyn immediately mentioned that she had been cheated in the Central Plains, and she hadn't gotten over the hurt.I hope that Si Qitong will introduce her to a gentleman for a romantic relationship.Of course, the more the better.She can choose.
Jing Chen next to him stared.This woman actually wants to have a daughter Yuduo.
Si Qitong said: "Men in the Central Plains are more reserved, and their concept of marriage is different from An Luo. Ms. Marilyn, if you want to find a lover in the Central Plains, you must go through the words of a matchmaker and then get married."
"Get married, then I don't want it." Marilyn immediately covered her face: "Are there any handsome men who don't get married and only fall in love?"
As soon as these words came out, Jing Chen couldn't help but want to speak.Rebuttal Marilyn.However, Jingchen was immediately sent out by Si Qitong.
Si Qitong said: "That requires Miss Marilyn to choose someone herself."
This is a promise.
Marilyn is very happy, so that she will not feel lonely when she stays in the Central Plains.
"By the way, where is Marshal Xie?" Marilyn looked around, "I heard that she has returned from the battlefield."
Si Qitong said: "She has other things to do, let me first talk about the establishment of diplomatic relations between An Luo and Xintianjing?"
Marilyn nodded immediately.After Si Qitong gave her seat, she told Marilyn how she planned to establish diplomatic relations with An Luoguo.
Si Qitong didn't know An Luo country well, and temporarily needed a minister to visit An Luo country to find out the national conditions there.But I am willing to keep Marilyn as the translator of the South Central Plains.
As the translator of the Central Plains, Marilyn is better at Chinese than the envoy sent by An Luo.
When An Luo's envoy knew that the bank chief was reused, he was happy and regretted that he was not Zhongyuan Tong.Can barely speak a few words of Chinese.
The two talked for a long time in Jianzhang Palace, during which Marilyn tested Si Qitong several times, whether to allow An Luo to set up a bank in the Central Plains, that is, a shop like a bank.
How could Si Qitong not know what Marilyn was planning? She didn't explicitly agree, but reminded Marilyn euphemistically that the Central Plains would have its own state-owned bank.
Marilyn was very sorry. She thought that there were no banks in the Central Plains, but she didn't expect this advanced Mingzhu to have plans.
She changed another trick and hoped that Anluo merchants would come to the Central Plains in the future to get preferential treatment from the Central Plains and sell their own goods.
Si Qitong also reminded her that as long as the import tax is paid enough like Weidu, and the quality is guaranteed, it can be estimated.Because Zhongyuan has a huge market, the price of Anluo must be discussed with Zhongyuan.And Zhongyuan will also give preferential treatment according to the situation.And there will be preferential offers for Anluo people to buy goods from the Central Plains.
Marilyn also asked whether the Anluo people could set up factories in the Central Plains.
Si Qitong agreed.
Marilyn finally showed a happy smile: "Your Highness, you are smarter and more knowledgeable than I imagined. It's a pity that the marshal is not here."
"I'd like to know what the marshal thinks?"
Si Qitong smiled and said, "Lanzhi has the same opinion as me."
After getting the answer, Marilyn wisely stopped mentioning Xie Lanzhi.
She suddenly talked about another matter, and finally got to the point, saying something Si Qitong wanted to hear.
Marilyn said: "To be honest, Your Royal Highness, my mother country is now facing a crisis of establishing a crown prince. My old king Jonny, Venice has a fancy for the little prince George, and hopes that Prince George will rule the country of Anluo."
"But the eldest prince Qiao Sen did not agree, and challenged the little prince George. As long as whoever gets the most rights to establish diplomatic relations overseas, whoever will inherit the position of king."
"It has been five years since the bet between the eldest prince Qiao Sen and the little prince George. At present, the eldest prince Qiao Sen has the most right to establish diplomatic relations. He is the most popular overseas contact."
Si Qitong asked: "May I ask which side Miss Marilyn supports?"
Marilyn played tricks here, she winked playfully: "Guess, my omnipotent princess."
Si Qitong quickly replied: "I don't think you belong to any party."
"Your Highness, the princess, is really powerful." Marilyn snapped her fingers, causing Si Qitong to frown.It seems that Marilyn should be the special envoy sent by the old king.
Marilyn said: "Although my old king loves the little prince, the counts in the country all support Prince Joson and think that Prince Joson is more capable."
"But Prince Johansson has a hot temper and bloody means. The citizens in our country are afraid of him. On the contrary, the citizens prefer Prince George who is close to the people."
As a result, because of the huge differences between the earl and the citizens of An Luo Kingdom, Prince Qiao Sen, who originally thought he was going to win, lost to the people close to him.
The year before last, Prince George wanted to take the initiative to withdraw from the competition for the throne. Unexpectedly, Prince Qiao Sen wanted to assassinate him. If he quit, the knights around him would be transferred away, and no one would protect him.So Prince George did not dare to withdraw from the competition.
And Prince Qiao Sen knew that Prince George was going to quit, but he still didn't let him go.This made Prince George have to try his best to participate in the competition and win the position of king.
The old king Jonny Venice was saddened by the two sons killing each other. When Joson was about to win the game, he proposed that whoever sailed eastward at this time and opened the eastern country and the trade road to Jin would be considered the final round.
Prince Qiao Sen's actions quickly contacted the northern Hu Huns in the state of Jin.Prince Qiao Sen didn't know that the present state of Jin had split.I only know that the Orientals have black hair and white skin, are very intelligent, have millions of troops and millions of lands, and they are the most powerful army.
Prince Qiao Sen's people met Bei Huxiong's big treasure ship and saw Bei Huxiong's big treasure ship crushing their big ship, so they already believed that Bei Huxiong was from Jin.
The North Hu Huns who were dispatched abroad acquiesced that they were from Jin, and they took the initiative to sign a trade treaty with Prince Qiao Sen.
Before Hu Xiong went south, he actually had several trades with An Luo.It's just still in contact, and it hasn't been fully discussed yet.Bei Huxiong's logistics was cut off suddenly, and the big treasure ship had to go to Luerqu to purchase.I didn't expect to be involved in the war all at once.
At this time, Xie Ji sent people to attack the small islands around Lu'er Canal, controlled the outer sea in that area, and cut off the trade between the Northern Huxiong and the Anluo people.
There were also Anluo people who followed the Northern Hu Xiongbao boat in Luerqu. When the Anluo people landed in Luerqu, they discovered that Jin was no longer a country.
What they encountered was the Northern Huxiong, one of the forces after the split of Jin.It is still the strongest country in the north.
The Anluo people have never seen the Southern Central Plains, so they naturally think that the Northern Central Plains is the strongest.
Until Bei Huxiong lost, Lu Erqu was beaten back by the army of Mobei.Seeing that the mighty Northern Huxiong was defeated by the nomads, the people of Anluo thought that the Northern Territory was stronger than the Northern Huxiong. Unexpectedly, they were captured by a group of powerful soldiers who claimed to be from the Southern Central Plains.
The Anluo people were arrested following the Northern Huxiong's surrender, and the Anluo people were already stunned.It turns out that the Northern Territory is only a subsidiary country of the Southern Central Plains, and it is not powerful.
But why did Bei Huxiong lose when he was so powerful?So the Anluo people saw the people from the Southern Central Plains in the pile of soldiers.
But what the Anluo people saw was Xie Bing.It is believed that this is the most powerful military force in the Southern Central Plains.
Until he saw the Jingwei army pushing a cannon that was almost as long as a ship, and their combat effectiveness was very strong when they killed the fleeing soldiers.
The Anluo people were once again shocked by the powerful military force for three days and three nights.
In the end, these Anluo people found that Jin was divided into three countries that they could not afford to mess with.
Finally, the Anluo people found an opportunity to contact the Anluo envoy in Tianjing, hoping that the Anluo envoy could rescue them.
In fact, Xie Bing is more or less a person who has seen the world, and when they find An Luo's face, they arrest and lock them up individually.
After a few days, Xintianjing sent someone to pick up these Anluo people.
Therefore, the first piece of sea rights that should have belonged to the North Huxiong struggled for, but now it fell into the hands of Xintianjing by accident.
Si Qitong had received the information earlier and ordered someone to pick it up.The purpose of summoning Marilyn now is to establish diplomatic relations with merchants, and the second is to return these Anluo people.
Marilyn described the situation in her own country similarly, and hoped that Si Qitong would set a date for the establishment of diplomatic relations as soon as possible.
Si Qitong felt that there was no rush, but she gave Marilyn an approximate time, the day of the Spring Festival.
Now in September, there are still three months to go.
Marilyn was very happy; "Your Highness, I am lucky to be able to do business with your country."
Si Qitong said: "Miss Marilyn, you are welcome. Trade is beneficial to both parties. I hope to maintain long-term ties with your country."
The two had a pleasant conversation.After Marilyn was sent out of the palace, the envoy of Anluo immediately approached her and told her that he had found the group of Anluo people sent by Prince Qiao Sen.Now we are almost in Tianjing.
Marilyn immediately looked at the messenger: "Jack, send these Anluo people back to the country of Anluo as soon as possible. I heard from His Highness that they are in a place called Lu'er Canal, and they have contacted His Highness's enemies."
"In order to prevent your Highness from misunderstanding and delaying the time of establishing diplomatic relations with An Luo and doing business, please don't let them come to Tianjing and be known by His Highness."
After An Luo's envoy Jack heard it, he was at a loss immediately, knowing the consequences of the matter.Jack immediately shook hands with Marilyn: "Marilyn Zuo Wuchang, none of us thought that the Jin Kingdom was still there, and it was only a moment of desperation that led us to think that Bei Huxiong was the next master of the Jin Kingdom."
"Please be sure to conceal this relationship, otherwise the king will not forgive me and give me the death penalty."
Marilyn shook his hand back: "Please act as soon as possible, the successful establishment of diplomatic relations depends on you."
Jack nodded immediately, and hurriedly turned around and led his men to the city gate of Tianjing.
Marilyn waited for him to leave.She took out a handkerchief and wiped her hands, then threw it into the trash can.
She smiled faintly: "Stupid man, how could I give my achievements to you Qiao Sen followers."
Jianzhang Palace.
Si Qitong was dealing with the last bit of paperwork, and a secret agent appeared and said a few words before disappearing.
Si Qitong put down his pen and thought that it was true, Marilyn was a follower who supported Prince George.
On the surface, Marilyn seemed to defend the old king, but in fact, it started when she came into contact with Xintianjing.Combined with the group of Anluo people captured by the Jingwei Army, Si Qitong has already concluded who Marilyn's follower is.
At this moment, Xie Lanzhi wandered around and walked into Jianzhang Palace.
When she saw the person on the throne thinking, she knew she was thinking about Marilyn.
Xie Lanzhi said: "Little Phoenix, Marilyn is a cunning woman, you can't completely believe what she says."
"You reminded me." Si Qitong raised his head to see her coming, a gleam of joy flashed in his eyes.
Xie Lanzhi didn't plan to take care of it.As soon as she intervened in the Xie family, she liked to take credit for her achievements on the family and asked for a share of the cake.What's more, it's not that Little Phoenix is incapable of handling it, it just takes a little time.
But now, she planned to advise Little Phoenix behind her back.
She continued: "Marilyn's ability to make a group of unscrupulous businessmen abide by the rules in Twin Islands and obediently pay [-] rent is enough to prove that her diplomacy is not easy."
"Especially the owner of Twin Islands, Little Phoenix, do you know him?"
Si Qitong might as well tell her: "Twin Islands belong to me. I didn't really pay the money when I saved 100 million, but he paid for it."
"What's his name?" Xie Lanzhi had never met the owner of Twin Islands, but he knew the importance of the island owner.
Si Qitong didn't tell her, but said: "The name and code name are not important. The important thing is that he will not betray Da Jin. Now he has gone to the place he wants to go and continues to lurk."
Xie Lanzhi really didn't ask again.
"Although Marilyn's means are trivial, she is very clear about her own interests."
Friendliness today is all about finding stronger partners.Help her settle in Dajin.At the beginning, she was targeted by Marilyn, and she urgently needed to solve An Shan's matter, so she took the initiative to fall into her trap.bring her.
Now she will not let this woman continue to use her little mind.
Xie Lanzhi walked to the side of the throne, and raised her hand to press Si Qitong's jade shoulder to remind her: "Little Phoenix, since you know everything, then you have to seize the initiative of establishing diplomatic relations, otherwise a century-old plan will be in vain if you miss it."
Si Qitong's eyes stared instantly: "Leave it to me."
Soon the Anluo envoy Jack outside the city accepted the Anluo people and counted a total of 18 people. He immediately took people and hired a carriage to go to Weidu and transfer to the four countries of Nanyang.Then back to home country.
Seeing the envoy hurriedly taking them back, the people in An Luo asked, "Messenger, is someone going to hunt us down? Are you taking us away?"
Jack said: "Miss Marilyn was summoned by His Royal Highness Dajin today, and the time for the establishment of diplomatic relations has been discussed, and it will be set on the day of the Central Plains Spring Festival."
As soon as this remark came out, the Anluo people hugged happily, expressing their willingness to return to their motherland.
It's just that when this group of people ran near Fengxi Town, they were stopped by Xie Bing. Captain Xie stopped Jack to the local government office and met Wu Qiu.
It has been two months since Wu Qiu made unannounced visits to the people, and now he is back in Fengxi Town because he heard that the Marshal is back.He must return to the Marshal.
Now Marshal Fei Ge sent a letter asking him to intercept An Luo's envoy Jack, arrange for them to stay in Fengxi town for a while, and persuade them to stay.
At the beginning, Jack was very afraid that the Central Plains general would kill them?Until Wu Qiu spoke their native language and communicated with them.
Jack immediately communicated happily with Wu Qiu, and expressed his willingness to stay.
Wu Qiu asked Jack not to reveal his whereabouts while contacting An Luo.Jack was afraid that his people would be involved in the power vortex of the Central Plains again, so he didn't dare to agree rashly.
Until he saw His Royal Highness Feng Ning's Phoenix seal red badge.
Jack knew that the phoenix seal represented the king's crown, a promise of gold.Jack immediately agreed to stay, and immediately wrote a letter to the mother country, which was delivered to the king by the returning Anluo people.And in the hands of Prince Joson.
Marilyn didn't know about Jack being left behind.
The reason why Xie Lanzhi wanted to keep Jack was to restrict Marilyn, and then break Marilyn's monopoly on the future of Central Plains trade.
Marilyn is so cunning.In diplomacy, she also created a monopoly.
Xie Lanzhi thought to himself, now that An Luo knows to monopolize diplomatic power, it is no wonder that future generations want to monopolize everything.It turns out that it has been different from the Central Plains ideology since ancient times.
Marilyn didn't know that Jack was staying, and she invited Xie Lanzhi to chat about An Luo Kingdom and the Central Plains the next day.Said that he urgently needs to know more information from the Central Plains to convey to the mother country.
For this reason, she also dedicated her personal biography and diary.
Said that he wanted to write a book about the customs and institutions of the Central Plains.
After hearing this, Xie Lanzhi decided that she was very interesting, so she sent this year's champion Ma Ke to accompany Marilyn.
Si Qitong herself is unfamiliar with the word monopoly, but she heard Lan Zhi talk a lot about her country, and learned that monopoly is destructive to the bottom and the country.
And when she knew that there were a group of businessmen in modern times who were powerful enough to override the imperial court and control the people's livelihood, she became murderous.
"Lanzhi, a mere businessman dares to manipulate the power of the country and mess up the people's livelihood and the foundation of the country. He deserves death."
Xie Lanzhi hugged her and said, "So Little Phoenix should study An Luo as soon as possible. The more we know about An Luo, the less likely we will be passive."
"Marilyn is a good opponent to refer to."
Si Qitong's eyes flickered slightly: "Since she wants to use Ben Gong, then Ben Gong might as well use her instead."

Thanks to the little angels who threw mines: Wu Yumao and Hongyan 1;
Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
Fifty thousand Hungarian soldiers are not a small number for surrendering troops. The northern Huxiong side only sent a few letters to communicate with Xintianjing, and their attitude towards surrendering troops changed every day.
This is related to the differences in the internal forces of the Northern Huxiong.
Empress Dowager Liu Zi of Northern Huxiong didn't want to take back the surrendered soldiers for the time being, because the surrendered soldiers officially supported Yuan Daliluo.Liu Zi felt that it would be a day if it could be delayed.
The people headed by the ministers of Northern Huxiong wanted to talk to Wang many times.Finally someone slipped in to meet the king, but the king became very taciturn.Ask him where the country witch has gone?Neither did Wang.
Many people think that Wang also took the Xiaoyao Pill, but was kidnapped by the Queen Mother instead.
The ministers of Northern Huxiong began to organize people to rescue the king.Unexpectedly, the king was arrested and exiled by the king on the grounds of trespassing on the palace and treason.In one fell swoop, it shocked the entire northern Huxiong.
So much so that Al Ja and Shan Yuhou didn't come back, and Bei Huxiong didn't care.Only the Al family and the Shan family sent people to look for them.
The two of them just throw it away when they are done using it.
North Huxiong's side was temporarily delayed due to the war, and Banaro was exposed by Xie Bing again to the lie of the third warrior, Panatu.Crush the trust of [-] surrendered troops in Banaro.
The prisoner-of-war camp was set up on the border of the destroyed Xiongguo.
None of the [-] surrendered soldiers made trouble, and many people had hoped that Banaro would lead them to fight back.Unexpectedly, Banaro himself was not clean.The secret was exposed, leading to internal division of the fifty thousand soldiers.
In addition, the lord of the state of Lu Fu Ling followed Xie Bing to appease the surrendering soldiers from time to time, and the surrendering soldiers were no longer as panicked as before.
Now Xintianjing frequently contacts Bei Huxiong, offering conditions in exchange for 10 surrendered troops.Bei Huxiong only offered [-] taels, and was willing to redeem a group of people back.
And the 10 taels was enough money raised by the Bana family and other guard families.
Xintianjing said that 5000 people can redeem up to 5000 people. 5000 people is already the limit.And the quota of 5000 people was transferred to Xiongguo, and it is said that only [-] soldiers can go back.
Let the surrendered soldiers feel disappointed with their mother country.The morale of the army is floating.In the end, the public payment order picked 5000 people to go back.By the way, send Banaro and some of the guards back.
Those whose families were weak had no way to return to their home country, and many of them chose to commit suicide.
Gong Fuling reported the matter to Xintianjing.
A new surrender order came down.At the beginning, there was no promise to drop troops, and then the public payment order drove 5000 people to work in the farmland, or to build roads.Exactly 5000 people, as many roads as can be built.Because 5000 people need to eat a lot of food.
The state of Lu often used sweet potatoes instead, and the cooks in the state of Lu were not good at cooking. Every time the sweet potatoes were cooked, they were as sticky as swill. When did the soldiers eat such a bad thing?Immediately knocked on the bowl and shouted dissatisfaction.
Xie Bing went out to kill a few people who deliberately incited people to make trouble, and then arrested those who followed suit and locked them in a dark room for a few days.
Then let someone change the cook from the Central Plains to stop.
The disturbance caused by the soldiers surrendered was relatively small. From time to time at night, some people wanted to escape, which caused a lot of trouble for Lu Guo and Xie Bing.After all, 5 people is quite a lot.Many people do not accept the Central Plains people.
This incident reached Xie Lanzhi's ears. She felt that the fighting power of the Xiong soldiers was good, and it was normal for her to only recognize her own motherland.
No one will easily betray their hometown.
Moreover, 5000 people can't be killed at will, so Xie Lanzhi asked the subordinates to disperse the surrendered troops, and then spread them to the central area, the less the better.
Originally, the surrender was intended to capture the Central Alliance, but now the surrender is divided into various places, which can be regarded as entering the Central Alliance to a certain extent.
The Central Plains has a vast land and abundant resources, and the 5 people were dispersed as soon as they were said to be scattered. The number of people who gathered together did not exceed a hundred people, and they were very scattered.In villages, towns and mountainous areas, they are only allowed to work hard to build bridges and roads.Raise farm animals.
Northern Huxiong has never come to acquaintances, and the surrendered soldiers no longer have expectations over time.Most people are disappointed in their home country.
Recently, Xintianjing has been busy with the ownership of various parts of the Central Alliance.
Because there are only two countries left in the ten countries, and the eight countries are destroyed, naturally they cannot be re-established.The royal families of several small countries were slaughtered.The remaining stragglers began to gather because the Huns surrendered, and they were not broken into an army at all.
Disagreements arose within the Xiaowang family.
Si Qitong could not avoid the loss of the interests of the collective among the small countries. She announced that she would not restore the Eight Kingdoms, and invited Ma Liuguo and other relatives to live in Xintianjing.And the young master of Ma Liu Guo was named Ma Liuhou.
The other small countries are divided into princes, and the remaining two countries actively follow the example of Lu.Close to Xintianjing.
As for the land, Xintianjing was nationalized.Incorporate the skirmishers of various countries into the reserve army of the Jingwei Army, and send Xie soldiers to train these reserve troops.
Skirmishers from various countries are also very willing to join the Jingwei Army.There are also 8 stragglers from various countries.
The Jingwei Army in Xintianjing has expanded from 30 to 40.The addition of new military services has brought greater challenges to Xintianjing's logistics.
Originally, food for 30 people was only needed, but now the pressure has increased by [-]%.
Although Tianjing's food supply is sufficient for the time being, it will inevitably encounter difficulties in the future.
Some tax officials have suggested tax increases, because Si Qitong has not raised taxes for a long time, and it is beneficial to the national treasury to increase taxes in peacetime.Save money and open up the flow.
Si Qitong needs so many reserve soldiers, but she doesn't want to raise taxes either.
This is a problem that has been encountered throughout the ages.The same goes for Si Qitong.
She feels that it is necessary to increase income and reduce expenditure, and more importantly, to increase revenue and expenditure for the national treasury.In the traditional way, to increase the revenue and expenditure of the national treasury, we will first look inward.
The entire Southern Central Plains business represented by Xintianjing is not well developed, and there is no circulation in various places.Everyone knows that it can only develop towards the outer seas and turn to open up the internal economy.
Now the agricultural economy is also very simple, self-sufficiency is easy, and the people tend to be stable and unwilling to travel.Even if they are businessmen, most of them are Xie businessmen running around.Tianjing merchants like to wander in the south and don't like to go to sea.Most tend to be conservative.
Xie Lanzhi thought for a while, and directly proposed the idea of re-establishing trade with the four Southeast Asian countries.Enrich the types of domestic agriculture, and expand major industries based on the foundation of food, clothing, housing and transportation.
"What the imperial court has to do is to maintain stability, and then clearly point out a general direction for everyone to go. The business only needs to be handed over to the merchant, and the merchant will know how to do it."
Si Qitong said: "It's a good thing to talk about business in business, but the inferiority of businessmen is always difficult to cure."
The behavior of merchants in successive dynasties caused great trouble to the court.If this group of mobile people forms a trend, it will increase the cost of court governance.
Xie Lanzhi said: "So all dynasties have adopted the method of blocking rather than sparse, to treat the symptoms rather than the root cause, and even the rulers are afraid of the flow of people, so they are neglected to cultivate."
"Because the foundation of a country is food."
"But now we have built roads on all sides, have firearms and cannons, and the advantages of weapons are enough to deter the enemy and deter internal enemies."
"If you are worried about the costs caused by liquidity, these costs should be regulated by the merchants themselves and diluted separately."
Si Qitong had already set up a chamber of commerce before, and was doing some transportation in the court.Now Xintianjing's transportation industry has expanded to the southern region.The transportation industry solves many livelihood problems.
Agriculture is now very developed.The transportation industry, agriculture, salt industry and water conservancy have always been the key tax collection areas of Xintianjing.
Si Qi Tong said: "I don't feel relieved to support others, what good candidates does Lanzhi have?"
Xie Lanzhi guessed that she wanted to set an example as a national businessman, but also wanted to abide by the tradition. Businessmen would not be officials, and the military would not talk about businessmen.A businessman is a businessman.The merchants must be separated and firmly controlled by the court.
She proposed a candidate: "The businessman of the Xie family can be the main force to go to sea, but I think Si Bogong can be the representative."
A gleam of joy flashed in Si Qitong's eyes: "That's it."
Soon in the Prince's Mansion, Si Bogong was still happily telling stories with his little grandson in his arms, and Si Qitong's imperial order came.
He was ordered to use the popularity of the four seas to establish a state-owned business group from the Central Plains to travel to the four countries of Nanyang and reopen the maritime trade route.
The previous emperors of the Jin Dynasty had thought about opening up maritime trade and increasing revenue and expenditure, but most of them were conservatives in China.Coupled with the fact that the national strength is getting weaker and weaker, so many times it doesn't matter.
Even the former Emperor Xicheng thought about it, and he sent someone to contact him.It's just that the business is not done frequently.It is easy to interrupt if something happens, and it can only barely maintain the influence of the outside world.
The four countries in Nanyang know about the Great Jin Dynasty, but they only know about Emperor Wen of Jin 100 years ago and Emperor Xicheng 23 years ago.
Emperor Xicheng still left some influence in the four countries of Nanyang, and now the daughter of Emperor Xicheng has the potential to rule the Southern Central Plains and spread it to Nanyang.In fact, the four countries of Nanyang have been looking forward to it for a long time. They are too dependent on the products of the mainland.Similarly, the four countries of Nanyang also have seafood and various rare minerals that are not found in the mainland.
The four countries of Nanyang have maintained a sense of attachment to the Central Plains for thousands of years. Even if it was interrupted for 20 years, there are still kings who continue to pay tribute to Tianjing and maintain contact.
Maintaining state-to-state ties with the Central Plains has been the consensus of the four Southeast Asian countries for hundreds of years.This consensus is still working for now.
Si Bogong accepts the imperial order to travel overseas.He asked that in addition to the merchants of the Xie family, outstanding merchants from the South Central Plains must be selected to send representatives to accompany them.
So Gongsun Feng, the richest businesswoman in Shiguo Mansion, stepped forward.
Gongsun Feng stood up and immediately caused an uproar in Tianjing.Gongsun Feng belongs to Si Qitong.Si Qitong was the first to recommend her to join the International Chamber of Commerce.
The businessman of the Xie family was replaced by Xie Fengqing's cousin Xie Wei.Xie Lanzhi chose him specially.
She selected two thousand elites from Xie Xia's sailors to accompany her.Since she knew the common sense of going to sea, she specially ordered a batch of booklets to be issued, one for each.
Emperor Xicheng accumulated a lot of knowledge about going to sea during that period, but it was all classical Chinese that was difficult to read.In addition to the scholarly families of the aristocratic and royal families, the merchant group has a high literacy rate, and many merchants are limited to common Chinese characters.Therefore, the brochure promoted by Xie Lanzhi was easy to understand and catchy, and was quickly sought after by businessmen.
This time we went to the four countries of Nanyang, which are countries that have a sense of attachment to the Central Plains, so Xie Lanzhi and Si Qitong don't have to worry about the four countries of Nanyang attacking the business groups.
Seven days later, Si Bogong took Gongsun Feng, Xie Wei and other businessmen to the four countries of Nanyang.
The news of going to the four countries of Nanyang did not spread everywhere, and it was very low-key.At that time, Wei Yuan, a great scholar who had gone to sea, published a storybook [Pictures of Sea Country], describing his longing for the sea.What Jinshan silver mine.An inexhaustible sea fish.In some places there is no winter, only spring.There is no rice to eat a kind of beans as a staple food.And so on resources and customs.
This script was noticed by Xie Lanzhi and Si Qitong, and Si Qitong immediately promoted the publication of marine pictorial records, and the imperial court printed and distributed [-] copies.All major libraries collected it one after another, and it became a popular item among students in no time.
Xie Lanzhi also paid for the artist to paint the content and spread it among the people.
All of a sudden, the sea charts became the most popular folk tales and picture books among the people.
Merchants saw that there was a lot of money to be made, and they invited people who had traveled to sea one after another, and asked their husbands to write and reissue.Imitating sea charts actually has a lot of benefits.However, it was quickly copied.
The businessman himself once made trouble with the government.
Si Qitong took the opportunity to promote copyright and fined the plagiarists.And it is clearly stipulated that the exact same content cannot be copied and used for private use.
In fact, the Jin Dynasty has long had laws on the authenticity of printing, and it must support genuine printing.It's just that the cost of printing books is high, even if others copy them, they have to pay the cost, let alone sell them to the common people.The common people don't know a few big characters.
However, for the imperial examination held three years ago, Tong Xie Lanzhi, Si Qi, specially invested in the construction of many schools in order to open up the imperial examination channels.
Many children from grassroots families in Tianjing have been educated for three years.These children who have studied for one or two years can basically recognize characters and understand scripts.Let alone a picture book.
There are more people who can read and write, and the storybook will be easier to sell.This inspired the writing method that Da Jin had never used much.
And children who have studied for three years are basically recruited by the Ministry of Industry as apprentices.
At least the majority of people in Tianjing have no worries about food and drink, and are able to send their children to school.In addition, Xie Lanzhi specially subsidized instead of directly free, and hired some gentlemen to contribute their knowledge.
These students who failed the exam, if they don't want to take the exam again, they can still become teachers to impart knowledge.
Si Qitong attaches great importance to these people, and distributes some allowances to these gentlemen every year.Make them more decent during the holidays, and continue to contribute to the teaching of books.
Xie Lanzhi made a calculation and spent a lot of money.It seems that making money is imminent.
Si Qitong reacted faster than her and immediately thought of An Luo envoy and Marilyn who were raised in the State Guest Mansion.
Si Qitong arranged for Marilyn to enter the palace.
Xie Lanzhi subconsciously wanted to hide, because this woman was so enthusiastic.Now that Little Phoenix was in front of her again, she didn't dare to let Marilyn get close to her, otherwise she would be the one to suffer.
Soon the palace's pro-army went to invite Marilyn.
Marilyn was still shopping on the street at this time, and she hired ten maids to carry things for herself.I am very interested in the gadgets of the Central Plains, but not interested in the new weapons or other crafts produced by the Ministry of Industry.In Tianjing, Marilyn felt that there was no better country for eating, drinking and having fun than the Central Plains, but she was also worried that the clock in the Central Plains was passed on by hand, if there were corona and water clocks in the palace.
But when it comes to folks, they can only rely on beating gongs to fix the spot.
It's really inconvenient, but in contrast, the roads in Tianjing are very well built, which is better than the dirt roads after leaving the castle in An Luo Kingdom.
Especially for things like cement, Marilyn wanted to buy Fangzi to go to her home country.Building the highways of her mother country.
Marilyn waved the folding fan she bought, asking people to hurry back to the State Guest Mansion.
Seeing the aunt's return, the soldiers hurried up to inform: "Miss Marilyn, Your Highness has called you to Jianzhang Palace."
"It seems that His Highness is finally done with his work." Marilyn was overjoyed immediately, she gave the folding fan to the army, turned around and invited a carriage to take her to the palace.The remaining soldiers put away their folding fans and blushed a lot.An Luo's woman was indeed open.
Marilyn entered the palace unimpeded, and her passionate character made every soldier in the palace blush.Therefore, she also became the most controversial figure inside the palace.
The maids felt that Marilyn did not abide by the virtues of a woman and flirted with men every day, which was very indecent.There are also court ladies who envy Marilyn's free and unrestrained personality and lifestyle.
Most of the pro-military admire Marilyn, after all, Marilyn's beautiful face and sexy figure are there.
However, people in the Central Plains always expressed their love in a very tactful way, and no one dared to pursue Marilyn after going back and forth.
Marilyn was very depressed.When she went to the Nanyang four countries, she was very admired and pursued by the princes, and even their generals wanted to pursue her.
Why did the men in the Central Plains not move when they arrived in the Central Plains?Marilyn couldn't help touching her face, suspecting that she was unattractive.
Thinking that she had been cheated by a woman, Marilyn also gave up having an affair in the Central Plains.
People from the Central Plains left a certain shadow on her view of love.It's okay not to love but don't cheat.
Marilyn walked into the Jianzhang Palace and knelt down to the condescending Highness in the treasure hall: "Dear Princess, what advice do you have for Marilyn?"
Seeing her frowning, Si Qitong didn't know how to hide his emotions, and he didn't care about offending Tianwei at all.
Jingchen, who was standing beside him, had long been dissatisfied.I think Anluo people are vulgar and impolite.
Si Qitong took the initiative to care about her: "Miss Marilyn, what's bothering you?"
Marilyn immediately mentioned that she had been cheated in the Central Plains, and she hadn't gotten over the hurt.I hope that Si Qitong will introduce her to a gentleman for a romantic relationship.Of course, the more the better.She can choose.
Jing Chen next to him stared.This woman actually wants to have a daughter Yuduo.
Si Qitong said: "Men in the Central Plains are more reserved, and their concept of marriage is different from An Luo. Ms. Marilyn, if you want to find a lover in the Central Plains, you must go through the words of a matchmaker and then get married."
"Get married, then I don't want it." Marilyn immediately covered her face: "Are there any handsome men who don't get married and only fall in love?"
As soon as these words came out, Jing Chen couldn't help but want to speak.Rebuttal Marilyn.However, Jingchen was immediately sent out by Si Qitong.
Si Qitong said: "That requires Miss Marilyn to choose someone herself."
This is a promise.
Marilyn is very happy, so that she will not feel lonely when she stays in the Central Plains.
"By the way, where is Marshal Xie?" Marilyn looked around, "I heard that she has returned from the battlefield."
Si Qitong said: "She has other things to do, let me first talk about the establishment of diplomatic relations between An Luo and Xintianjing?"
Marilyn nodded immediately.After Si Qitong gave her seat, she told Marilyn how she planned to establish diplomatic relations with An Luoguo.
Si Qitong didn't know An Luo country well, and temporarily needed a minister to visit An Luo country to find out the national conditions there.But I am willing to keep Marilyn as the translator of the South Central Plains.
As the translator of the Central Plains, Marilyn is better at Chinese than the envoy sent by An Luo.
When An Luo's envoy knew that the bank chief was reused, he was happy and regretted that he was not Zhongyuan Tong.Can barely speak a few words of Chinese.
The two talked for a long time in Jianzhang Palace, during which Marilyn tested Si Qitong several times, whether to allow An Luo to set up a bank in the Central Plains, that is, a shop like a bank.
How could Si Qitong not know what Marilyn was planning? She didn't explicitly agree, but reminded Marilyn euphemistically that the Central Plains would have its own state-owned bank.
Marilyn was very sorry. She thought that there were no banks in the Central Plains, but she didn't expect this advanced Mingzhu to have plans.
She changed another trick and hoped that Anluo merchants would come to the Central Plains in the future to get preferential treatment from the Central Plains and sell their own goods.
Si Qitong also reminded her that as long as the import tax is paid enough like Weidu, and the quality is guaranteed, it can be estimated.Because Zhongyuan has a huge market, the price of Anluo must be discussed with Zhongyuan.And Zhongyuan will also give preferential treatment according to the situation.And there will be preferential offers for Anluo people to buy goods from the Central Plains.
Marilyn also asked whether the Anluo people could set up factories in the Central Plains.
Si Qitong agreed.
Marilyn finally showed a happy smile: "Your Highness, you are smarter and more knowledgeable than I imagined. It's a pity that the marshal is not here."
"I'd like to know what the marshal thinks?"
Si Qitong smiled and said, "Lanzhi has the same opinion as me."
After getting the answer, Marilyn wisely stopped mentioning Xie Lanzhi.
She suddenly talked about another matter, and finally got to the point, saying something Si Qitong wanted to hear.
Marilyn said: "To be honest, Your Royal Highness, my mother country is now facing a crisis of establishing a crown prince. My old king Jonny, Venice has a fancy for the little prince George, and hopes that Prince George will rule the country of Anluo."
"But the eldest prince Qiao Sen did not agree, and challenged the little prince George. As long as whoever gets the most rights to establish diplomatic relations overseas, whoever will inherit the position of king."
"It has been five years since the bet between the eldest prince Qiao Sen and the little prince George. At present, the eldest prince Qiao Sen has the most right to establish diplomatic relations. He is the most popular overseas contact."
Si Qitong asked: "May I ask which side Miss Marilyn supports?"
Marilyn played tricks here, she winked playfully: "Guess, my omnipotent princess."
Si Qitong quickly replied: "I don't think you belong to any party."
"Your Highness, the princess, is really powerful." Marilyn snapped her fingers, causing Si Qitong to frown.It seems that Marilyn should be the special envoy sent by the old king.
Marilyn said: "Although my old king loves the little prince, the counts in the country all support Prince Joson and think that Prince Joson is more capable."
"But Prince Johansson has a hot temper and bloody means. The citizens in our country are afraid of him. On the contrary, the citizens prefer Prince George who is close to the people."
As a result, because of the huge differences between the earl and the citizens of An Luo Kingdom, Prince Qiao Sen, who originally thought he was going to win, lost to the people close to him.
The year before last, Prince George wanted to take the initiative to withdraw from the competition for the throne. Unexpectedly, Prince Qiao Sen wanted to assassinate him. If he quit, the knights around him would be transferred away, and no one would protect him.So Prince George did not dare to withdraw from the competition.
And Prince Qiao Sen knew that Prince George was going to quit, but he still didn't let him go.This made Prince George have to try his best to participate in the competition and win the position of king.
The old king Jonny Venice was saddened by the two sons killing each other. When Joson was about to win the game, he proposed that whoever sailed eastward at this time and opened the eastern country and the trade road to Jin would be considered the final round.
Prince Qiao Sen's actions quickly contacted the northern Hu Huns in the state of Jin.Prince Qiao Sen didn't know that the present state of Jin had split.I only know that the Orientals have black hair and white skin, are very intelligent, have millions of troops and millions of lands, and they are the most powerful army.
Prince Qiao Sen's people met Bei Huxiong's big treasure ship and saw Bei Huxiong's big treasure ship crushing their big ship, so they already believed that Bei Huxiong was from Jin.
The North Hu Huns who were dispatched abroad acquiesced that they were from Jin, and they took the initiative to sign a trade treaty with Prince Qiao Sen.
Before Hu Xiong went south, he actually had several trades with An Luo.It's just still in contact, and it hasn't been fully discussed yet.Bei Huxiong's logistics was cut off suddenly, and the big treasure ship had to go to Luerqu to purchase.I didn't expect to be involved in the war all at once.
At this time, Xie Ji sent people to attack the small islands around Lu'er Canal, controlled the outer sea in that area, and cut off the trade between the Northern Huxiong and the Anluo people.
There were also Anluo people who followed the Northern Hu Xiongbao boat in Luerqu. When the Anluo people landed in Luerqu, they discovered that Jin was no longer a country.
What they encountered was the Northern Huxiong, one of the forces after the split of Jin.It is still the strongest country in the north.
The Anluo people have never seen the Southern Central Plains, so they naturally think that the Northern Central Plains is the strongest.
Until Bei Huxiong lost, Lu Erqu was beaten back by the army of Mobei.Seeing that the mighty Northern Huxiong was defeated by the nomads, the people of Anluo thought that the Northern Territory was stronger than the Northern Huxiong. Unexpectedly, they were captured by a group of powerful soldiers who claimed to be from the Southern Central Plains.
The Anluo people were arrested following the Northern Huxiong's surrender, and the Anluo people were already stunned.It turns out that the Northern Territory is only a subsidiary country of the Southern Central Plains, and it is not powerful.
But why did Bei Huxiong lose when he was so powerful?So the Anluo people saw the people from the Southern Central Plains in the pile of soldiers.
But what the Anluo people saw was Xie Bing.It is believed that this is the most powerful military force in the Southern Central Plains.
Until he saw the Jingwei army pushing a cannon that was almost as long as a ship, and their combat effectiveness was very strong when they killed the fleeing soldiers.
The Anluo people were once again shocked by the powerful military force for three days and three nights.
In the end, these Anluo people found that Jin was divided into three countries that they could not afford to mess with.
Finally, the Anluo people found an opportunity to contact the Anluo envoy in Tianjing, hoping that the Anluo envoy could rescue them.
In fact, Xie Bing is more or less a person who has seen the world, and when they find An Luo's face, they arrest and lock them up individually.
After a few days, Xintianjing sent someone to pick up these Anluo people.
Therefore, the first piece of sea rights that should have belonged to the North Huxiong struggled for, but now it fell into the hands of Xintianjing by accident.
Si Qitong had received the information earlier and ordered someone to pick it up.The purpose of summoning Marilyn now is to establish diplomatic relations with merchants, and the second is to return these Anluo people.
Marilyn described the situation in her own country similarly, and hoped that Si Qitong would set a date for the establishment of diplomatic relations as soon as possible.
Si Qitong felt that there was no rush, but she gave Marilyn an approximate time, the day of the Spring Festival.
Now in September, there are still three months to go.
Marilyn was very happy; "Your Highness, I am lucky to be able to do business with your country."
Si Qitong said: "Miss Marilyn, you are welcome. Trade is beneficial to both parties. I hope to maintain long-term ties with your country."
The two had a pleasant conversation.After Marilyn was sent out of the palace, the envoy of Anluo immediately approached her and told her that he had found the group of Anluo people sent by Prince Qiao Sen.Now we are almost in Tianjing.
Marilyn immediately looked at the messenger: "Jack, send these Anluo people back to the country of Anluo as soon as possible. I heard from His Highness that they are in a place called Lu'er Canal, and they have contacted His Highness's enemies."
"In order to prevent your Highness from misunderstanding and delaying the time of establishing diplomatic relations with An Luo and doing business, please don't let them come to Tianjing and be known by His Highness."
After An Luo's envoy Jack heard it, he was at a loss immediately, knowing the consequences of the matter.Jack immediately shook hands with Marilyn: "Marilyn Zuo Wuchang, none of us thought that the Jin Kingdom was still there, and it was only a moment of desperation that led us to think that Bei Huxiong was the next master of the Jin Kingdom."
"Please be sure to conceal this relationship, otherwise the king will not forgive me and give me the death penalty."
Marilyn shook his hand back: "Please act as soon as possible, the successful establishment of diplomatic relations depends on you."
Jack nodded immediately, and hurriedly turned around and led his men to the city gate of Tianjing.
Marilyn waited for him to leave.She took out a handkerchief and wiped her hands, then threw it into the trash can.
She smiled faintly: "Stupid man, how could I give my achievements to you Qiao Sen followers."
Jianzhang Palace.
Si Qitong was dealing with the last bit of paperwork, and a secret agent appeared and said a few words before disappearing.
Si Qitong put down his pen and thought that it was true, Marilyn was a follower who supported Prince George.
On the surface, Marilyn seemed to defend the old king, but in fact, it started when she came into contact with Xintianjing.Combined with the group of Anluo people captured by the Jingwei Army, Si Qitong has already concluded who Marilyn's follower is.
At this moment, Xie Lanzhi wandered around and walked into Jianzhang Palace.
When she saw the person on the throne thinking, she knew she was thinking about Marilyn.
Xie Lanzhi said: "Little Phoenix, Marilyn is a cunning woman, you can't completely believe what she says."
"You reminded me." Si Qitong raised his head to see her coming, a gleam of joy flashed in his eyes.
Xie Lanzhi didn't plan to take care of it.As soon as she intervened in the Xie family, she liked to take credit for her achievements on the family and asked for a share of the cake.What's more, it's not that Little Phoenix is incapable of handling it, it just takes a little time.
But now, she planned to advise Little Phoenix behind her back.
She continued: "Marilyn's ability to make a group of unscrupulous businessmen abide by the rules in Twin Islands and obediently pay [-] rent is enough to prove that her diplomacy is not easy."
"Especially the owner of Twin Islands, Little Phoenix, do you know him?"
Si Qitong might as well tell her: "Twin Islands belong to me. I didn't really pay the money when I saved 100 million, but he paid for it."
"What's his name?" Xie Lanzhi had never met the owner of Twin Islands, but he knew the importance of the island owner.
Si Qitong didn't tell her, but said: "The name and code name are not important. The important thing is that he will not betray Da Jin. Now he has gone to the place he wants to go and continues to lurk."
Xie Lanzhi really didn't ask again.
"Although Marilyn's means are trivial, she is very clear about her own interests."
Friendliness today is all about finding stronger partners.Help her settle in Dajin.At the beginning, she was targeted by Marilyn, and she urgently needed to solve An Shan's matter, so she took the initiative to fall into her trap.bring her.
Now she will not let this woman continue to use her little mind.
Xie Lanzhi walked to the side of the throne, and raised her hand to press Si Qitong's jade shoulder to remind her: "Little Phoenix, since you know everything, then you have to seize the initiative of establishing diplomatic relations, otherwise a century-old plan will be in vain if you miss it."
Si Qitong's eyes stared instantly: "Leave it to me."
Soon the Anluo envoy Jack outside the city accepted the Anluo people and counted a total of 18 people. He immediately took people and hired a carriage to go to Weidu and transfer to the four countries of Nanyang.Then back to home country.
Seeing the envoy hurriedly taking them back, the people in An Luo asked, "Messenger, is someone going to hunt us down? Are you taking us away?"
Jack said: "Miss Marilyn was summoned by His Royal Highness Dajin today, and the time for the establishment of diplomatic relations has been discussed, and it will be set on the day of the Central Plains Spring Festival."
As soon as this remark came out, the Anluo people hugged happily, expressing their willingness to return to their motherland.
It's just that when this group of people ran near Fengxi Town, they were stopped by Xie Bing. Captain Xie stopped Jack to the local government office and met Wu Qiu.
It has been two months since Wu Qiu made unannounced visits to the people, and now he is back in Fengxi Town because he heard that the Marshal is back.He must return to the Marshal.
Now Marshal Fei Ge sent a letter asking him to intercept An Luo's envoy Jack, arrange for them to stay in Fengxi town for a while, and persuade them to stay.
At the beginning, Jack was very afraid that the Central Plains general would kill them?Until Wu Qiu spoke their native language and communicated with them.
Jack immediately communicated happily with Wu Qiu, and expressed his willingness to stay.
Wu Qiu asked Jack not to reveal his whereabouts while contacting An Luo.Jack was afraid that his people would be involved in the power vortex of the Central Plains again, so he didn't dare to agree rashly.
Until he saw His Royal Highness Feng Ning's Phoenix seal red badge.
Jack knew that the phoenix seal represented the king's crown, a promise of gold.Jack immediately agreed to stay, and immediately wrote a letter to the mother country, which was delivered to the king by the returning Anluo people.And in the hands of Prince Joson.
Marilyn didn't know about Jack being left behind.
The reason why Xie Lanzhi wanted to keep Jack was to restrict Marilyn, and then break Marilyn's monopoly on the future of Central Plains trade.
Marilyn is so cunning.In diplomacy, she also created a monopoly.
Xie Lanzhi thought to himself, now that An Luo knows to monopolize diplomatic power, it is no wonder that future generations want to monopolize everything.It turns out that it has been different from the Central Plains ideology since ancient times.
Marilyn didn't know that Jack was staying, and she invited Xie Lanzhi to chat about An Luo Kingdom and the Central Plains the next day.Said that he urgently needs to know more information from the Central Plains to convey to the mother country.
For this reason, she also dedicated her personal biography and diary.
Said that he wanted to write a book about the customs and institutions of the Central Plains.
After hearing this, Xie Lanzhi decided that she was very interesting, so she sent this year's champion Ma Ke to accompany Marilyn.
Si Qitong herself is unfamiliar with the word monopoly, but she heard Lan Zhi talk a lot about her country, and learned that monopoly is destructive to the bottom and the country.
And when she knew that there were a group of businessmen in modern times who were powerful enough to override the imperial court and control the people's livelihood, she became murderous.
"Lanzhi, a mere businessman dares to manipulate the power of the country and mess up the people's livelihood and the foundation of the country. He deserves death."
Xie Lanzhi hugged her and said, "So Little Phoenix should study An Luo as soon as possible. The more we know about An Luo, the less likely we will be passive."
"Marilyn is a good opponent to refer to."
Si Qitong's eyes flickered slightly: "Since she wants to use Ben Gong, then Ben Gong might as well use her instead."
