Chapter 125 The cooperation is very tacit
If Man Mi is in favor of Xixia and Song Guo's trade, Li Liangzuo will definitely not feel novel, but I don't know when the attitude of the Empress and the prime minister will become supportive of this view. Just above the court, when Zhang Jiangqi proposed to draw up the detailed rules of trade as soon as possible, the prime minister Liang Yibu also loudly agreed.
Li Liangzuo has lived carefully in the court since he was born. It is rare for him to have a few years of peace of mind. He knows more that his father Li Yuanhao's hard-earned family business has been exhausted by his family.
After retreating from the court, Li Liangzuo left Li Xili to discuss the matter. Needless to say, Li Xili understood that he was going to the State of Song again. This time, with the sincere sincerity of the State of Western Xia, he went to the State of Song to ask for negotiation of specific details.
Just as Xixia sent people to the State of Song, Wang was implementing his plan step by step in Yanzhou.
In the city of Yanzhou, there is a magistrate's office. The government office is the most concentrated architectural complex in Yanzhou City. The two huge stone lions outside the government office show that the government office is extremely solemn. There are two guards on the blue stone steps. The two vermilion doors are open, and the first row of halls is the offices of various departments in the government office. Although they are in the government office yard, there are very few between various departments. Walk back and forth.
There is a street on the side of the government office. Walking along the streets and alleys, there are several courtyards behind the government office, one of which is the mansion next to the king. The door of this house is also wide open, and there is an endless stream of people coming and going. There are officials and businessmen in it. People who don't know it will wonder what it is.
Xue Xiang went out of the government office after finishing his business, went back to his house to change his casual clothes, and asked his entourage to go to the street to get some wine and vegetables. He came to the mansion next to the king with wine and vegetables.
A touch of sunset reflected the bluestone road, and the trees on both sides of the bluestone road leading to the hall had grown tender green leaves. As soon as he entered the hall, Xue Xiang couldn't help shaking his head. The king was so surprised. The most common in this hall is the seats.
As soon as he entered the door, a Yangmu bookcase was placed. The seat behind the bookcase should be next to the king, but there was also a chair facing the bookcase in front of the bookcase. Several chairs were placed on both sides from the door of the hall to the aisle. Behind the bookcase is a screen. The east wall of the hall is pasted with the time and business process of Wang's handling things in the hall; the west wall is pasted with the recent prices of salt, iron, horses, grain and other materials, and there are messy lines on it.
Xue Xiang didn't come for the first time. He came almost once in three or two days, but every time he came, he felt that Wang had a new idea. For example, today, there was an extra box on the west wall. There is an opening on the box to deliver letters, and a few words are pasted on the front of the box. Xue Xiang leaned over and looked at it. It turned out to be written: "The illegal hawker's prosecution box." Xue Xiang smiled and saw that Wang was not in the hall. He put the wine and dishes on the bookcase and looked for Wang back and forth.
Xue Xiang looked at the east-west wing. One was a temporary lounge next to the king, and the other was also made by the king's two eight immortal tables together. There were chairs around him, which were also a place for guests to drink tea and wait. There was no place next to the king in these two places, so Xue Xiang went to the second inner house in the yard.
Xue Xiang had just passed through the corner door and was meeting the two bodyguards next to the king, Zhe Kejun and Zhang Ping. They were talking and laughing. They looked up and saw Xue Xiang hurriedly bowing: "Lord Xue, Lord Wang is waiting for you in the inner house." Xue Xiang hummed and walked to the inner house.
Zhe Kejun and Zhang Ping are two bodyguards carefully selected by Zhongyi for the king. They are not only tall and powerful, but also skilled in martial arts, and the two of them also know more or less. Only when Wang was in office did he know that he was a fourth-grade official and could take bodyguards to accompany him. Originally, the court wanted to arrange for Wang, but Wang found a lot of reasons to refuse. In the end, he really couldn't get rid of it, so he agreed to Yanzhou and choose from Yanzhou.
Wang Bian really didn't dare to bring the bodyguards sent by the imperial court. Although Master Zhang Yi taught him some martial arts, although he did not forget all of them, he was almost abandoned, that is, it was okay to deal with a little thief and so on. I also want to practice more when I have time. I also think that if I can't live in the court, I can be a hero or something. It's just that he has spent too much time on the road in the past two years. Now there always seems to be a bomb between me and the prince that will explode at any time, which has to make Wang pay more attention.
Wang is very reassuring about the people arranged by the seed instrument, and these two people are also worry-free. The king said that there is no need to stop those who enter the house during the day. Those who come can go in and out at will. Just close the door of the court at night. The two of them did their best. They just inspected the inner house. Seeing that the sun was setting, they went outside and closed the door.
Xue Xiang came along the corridor to the main room of the courtyard. The door of the hall was open, facing a square table and two chairs facing the door, and a poem hanging behind the tables and chairs facing the door. It was Wang An's "climbing to the Peak" with several guests. Looking at the study next to the king on the east side, the king was sitting behind the desk. There was a pile of paper on the desk in front of him, and the king was writing and painting there.
Xue Xiang did not disturb him. He found a stool and sat down until he watched Wang put down the pen. Then he coughed.
The king looked up and saw that Xue Xiang was already sitting there. He knew that he had been here for a while. It was not good to neglect the guests. He got up and saluted and said, "Lord Xue has been here for a long time. You see that I'm busy here." He said with embarrassment.
Xue Xiang hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter. I happen to have something to talk to Wang Shilang in detail today. I bought wine and vegetables and put them in the front hall. When you finish your work, we will chat and drink."
Wang put up the manuscript in his hand and said in the top few mouths in his hand, "I'm done, I'm done, hehe, I just want to find you. In this case, we drink in the front hall." After saying that, the two returned to the front hall.
It was already dark. Ding Yangxi, his hometown, had already set up the lamp in the front hall. Seeing Wang and Xue Xiang coming in, he hurriedly said, "My lords, I just saw Lord Xue coming, and asked Jinxiu Building to add some vegetables."
Xue Xiang said with a smile, "It's still Wang Shilang who has foresight to make this Jinxiu Building sub-number to Yanzhou, and you can even save the servants who cook in your house."
Yang Xi smiled and said, "That's right, that's right, why don't I leave the yaman as a servant, and I have to be a houseman for Mr. Wang."
Xue Xiang pointed to Yang Xi and said to the king, "Look, the people in your house are all like you, praising themselves in a different way."
Wang Fang laughed. Xue Xiang said that Yang Xi felt that he also had foresight. Yang Xi smiled foolishly and said, "You two adults drink slowly. Call me if you need anything." After saying that, he left the room, went to the porch to eat with Zhe Kejun and Zhang Ping, and listened to the greeting in the room by the way.
Yang Xi is not an outsider. Those who have read the previous article know that Yang Xi turned out to be a government official in Yunyan and Zhang Zai, and his cousin was the wife of Zhongyi. Now Yang Xi is old. I heard that Wang's side came to Yanzhou. He simply didn't do such a job as a shaman and looked for a job beside Wang's side.
Wang looked at others as honest, knew a lot about all parts of Yanzhou, and did things well at ordinary times. He was also happy to send personal feelings. What's more, Wang is usually easy-going and generous, and Yang Xi and others are also happy to do things.
Xue Xiang took out the wine and said, "Wang Shilang just said that he was looking for me. I don't know what a good thing is?"
The two sat down and drank and chatted. Wang said to Xue Xiang, "I was about to thank Lord Xue for mobilization of salt during this period. I just calculated that it will be the peak season of salt production in Xixia in a month or two. In addition, the accumulation of green salt in Xixia in the past few months, I believe that it will not be long before Xixia will carry it. I can't live."
Xue Xiang secretly admired Wang in his heart and raised his glass and said, "How can you thank me for this? I should thank Mr. Wang for teaching me this "high throwing and low suction" to keep the inventory of Cao salt stable."
It's funny in Wang's heart. This high throwing and low suction was not invented by himself, but it was still quite useful in the Song Dynasty 900 years ago. This is nothing. It's better for Lord Xue to control it. My godfather always praises me for his good financial management in front of me. The king said modestly.
Xue Xiang laughed and said, "It's an honor for me to be recognized by Lord Bao." After saying that, he drank it all. Pouring a glass of wine again, Xue Xiang asked, "At present, the people of Xixia may have turned red. Isn't Wang Shilang afraid that they will raise troops to invade the situation again?"
Wang Bian has not thought about the question raised by Xue Xiang, but Xixia has an internal response. Several apprentices of He Xingyuan, that is, Wu Ling's brothers, can find a way to tell Wang about Xixia Xingqing Mansion and the surrounding people's conditions and the price of materials at any time. Even Wu Ling's cousin Wu Su will hear about Xixia's officialdom and send a letter to Wang.
Wang's message from these news is that the people of Xixia are unstable. For Li Liangzuo's court, there is a complex contradiction between various forces. This contradiction is not simply a contradiction between the Party and the Han people. Now the Western Xia Dynasty has expanded their scope for their own power, and no one wants to lead troops out to war.
The king was more confident when he got the above information. His magnetic voice said with an irresistible deterrent: "How dare he?! The species of adults have been on the border. As long as the border changes, they will not only give preferential treatment to the surrender of troops and people, but also be resettled.
Xue Xiang listened, "Ah!" There are sighs and surprises. He knew that the king was brave and resourceful. Now the king is in military use of troops to cooperate with this battle of business and salt to make these foreshadows, which makes Xue Xiang look at the young man with new eyes. Come on, I want to drink more to the king's servant!" After saying that, Xue Xiang raised his glass and drank it again.
Wang next to the third cup and asked, "I don't know that Lord Xue brought wine today, but there is good news."
Xue Xiang smiled and said, "I had good news. I heard that Xixia had sent an envoy to the State of Song again, but it seems that it was already in the planning of Wang Shilang. Haha, I didn't expect that these three divisions were only in charge of the national financial plan, but I didn't know that they could not fight against the soldiers. Come on, Wang Shilang, you and I can drink to your heart's content today. After saying that, he drank it again, and Xue Xiang, who drank the wine, was very happy.
