After Zhu Ji finished talking about the methods of summing the numbers in the table on the blackboard, he looked out the window and said, "It's getting late, so let's talk about it today. I have two sheets of paper here, with a few questions on it. I will take them back to fill in the entire question and submit it back to me the next day. Speaking of which, Deputy Envoy Xu of you will read the questions you did, and may ask you to go over and ask them to ask. So, don't copy other people's, you must figure it out by yourself, otherwise it may affect your career."

Zheng Jian and the others agreed, and today's class was over.

After Jia Xian and Zhu Ji were transferred to the Registration Institute, they worked with Xu Ping for a while and discussed the course together, and then took turns to teach several officials. This lesson was experimental, so only Zheng Jian and several pavilions transferred to the editorial institute, as well as Guo Zi, Li Zhaoshu and Ye Shen, three judges of the three departments, one department.

Ye Shen was Ye Qingchen's father and was the judge of the Ministry of Revenue at that time. After Ye Qingchen was transferred to the editing office, he was not a formal staff member of the Third Division, so he couldn't say whether Ye Shen would avoid it, so he kept dragging it on.

When Zhu Ji went out, Zeng Gongliang said to Gao Ruone beside him: "If it is adding or decreasing, it is not difficult for us to learn. But these numbers are all strange and strange. I have never seen them before. If you want to write these words, you will have to post a lot of time."

Gao Ruonen said authentically: "The deputy envoy said that he learned it from Indian merchants in Lingnan before, and it was very useful. However, the Indians used it more distortedly, and it was inconvenient for us Chinese to write, so we changed it to this. Seeing that the deputy envoy, Jia Xian, Zhu Ji and others said that it was convenient to write this way, I think it was really beneficial, but we are just used to it."

Zeng Gongliang murmured in a low voice: "Last year, the envoy from Zhunian Kingdom was named Pu'a Tuoli, and he sprinkled his pearls in front of the imperial court. He didn't see them using this strange number."

Gao Ruonne shook his head: "The Deputy Envoy Xu really said about this matter that Pu'a Tuoli may not be a member of Zhunian. The most likely Persian merchants were a Persian man who paid the title of Zhunian to pay tribute. The silk tea and porcelain here are extremely precious overseas and are expensive. He took a little back and made a fortune."

Zeng Gongliang was shocked: "Isn't that a crime of deceiving the king?!"

"It's not worth mentioning that his letter of nationality is true. Deputy Envoy Xu said that Persian merchants in the South China Sea would buy letters from small countries around him and come to the Celestial Empire to pay tribute in the name of their envoys. In fact, they were greedy for our wealth and property in the Celestial Empire and came to do business."

Zeng Gongliang was amazed when he heard this: "It turns out that there is such a thing, which is really unexpected. Let's see that those small southern barbarian countries are very different and have no language, so they really can't tell which country they are. Alas, Minzhi, why do you think Deputy Envoy Xu is so clear about these things? He has never been to Nanyang."

Gao Ruonai slowly sorted out the things on the table and said, "Previous envoy Xu was in Yongzhou for six years and often had conflicts with Jiaozhi. How could he not understand the geography there? The most Persian merchants were in Chammen. It is said that all the cities in Chammen were Persians. They were used to buying and selling books there. They came to our Tian Dynasty to pay tribute. I was afraid that five or six of them were faked by Persian merchants. Now, Pang Chunzhi recommended the sugar service and wrote a letter saying that there were too many fake countries in Chammen and it was difficult to distinguish. In the future, without the official documents of the Guangxi Road Transportation Commission, wouldn't they be allowed to enter Beijing?"

"It's true. I thought it was just because Chameng is now arguing with Jiaozhi, and the court will show it the color."

“There are two reasons.”

When Xu Ping was in Yongzhou, he told the Persian merchants in Chameng that they entered the heartland of the Song Dynasty under the name of envoys from a small country. Now that Liangzhou has been stabilized, the sugar supply business has been pushed to the Fuliang River, there is much more accurate news.

At the beginning of the year, Pang Ji submitted a memorial, requiring that all envoys from various countries from Southeast Asia who did not have documents from Guangnan West Road Transportation Company were not allowed to cross the Yangtze River, and waited near the prefectures and sent them back after receiving the court's reply.

This is because of economic interests, and these small countries' envoys come more and more frequently, and the other is to attack Chameng.

Now the situation south of Liangzhou has turned around. Jiaozhi has completely declined and is completely at a disadvantage against Champa. He can only rely on the protection of the Song Dynasty to avoid being destroyed. Because Yongliang Road is newly established shortly, it is insufficient in strength and cannot completely swallow Jiaozhi, so he can only help Jiaozhi fight Champa.

Under such circumstances, many envoys from Chammen would be turned away.

When envoys come to Beijing, they usually give back gifts. The principle mastered by the Song Dynasty was that the value of the gifts was slightly higher than the items that were tributed. However, these goods were extremely difficult to buy overseas. It seemed that the capital did not suffer much loss, but the merchants who paid tribute had already gained countless benefits. In addition, they also paid tribute to Buddhist scriptures, Buddha statues and other items, and gave back gifts a full amount of money, and the number of people coming year by year. Sending envoys to Kaifeng to pay tribute has always been a major income of the royal family in Champa. The relationship between the two countries is now like this, and of course it is a severe crackdown.

Several people went out and looked at the sky. The sun was still hanging high and it was still early before dark.

Ye Qingchen said: "Tomorrow is the day of rest. We should get together tonight. I'm so nervous these days!"

When he said that, he turned around and saw his father Ye Chan standing not far away with a dark face, and hurriedly closed his mouth tightly.

Zeng Gongliang said: "I received the food at the end of the month, and this time I have saved countless efforts. Why don't I celebrate!"

After saying that, several young officials looked at Zheng Jian together. Among these people, Zheng Jian was not only because Zheng Jian was the third place in the second year of Tiansheng, but the most important thing was that he was mature and stubborn, and he was stubborn, so it was extremely difficult to change what he had identified. Ye Qingchen, as the second-tier figure at that time, also mostly followed Zheng Jian's opinions.

Zheng Jian remained silent, looked at the house not far away, and said, "I don't know when Deputy Envoy Xu will come out."

After hearing this, everyone smiled. Following Xu Ping to do things, at least they would never treat their own worries.

Although Xu Waijian's home is in the capital, his wife is tough and generally does not participate in female singing and dancing occasions, he never treats people unfairly. Most of the young officials present have been married for a few years and their children are still young. It is not easy to buy some family business in the capital. They are basically in the early stage of satisfying their appetites, and they just happened to be in the same game.

Seeing everyone's appearance, Li Zhaoshu spoke, "I went to eat the place where you drink fruit wine last time. It was really good. And it was not far from my house, so choosing it is excellent."

Li Zhaoshu was a family of officials. He was the top scholar in the Tang Dynasty since his great-grandfather Li Chaoshi, and his grandfather Li Fang was the prime minister during the reign of Emperor Taizong. His father Li Zongyan disdained to rely on his kindness to become an official and became a Jinshi. He became an official. Li Zhaoshu himself failed to become a Jinshi, and entered the official position with his kindness to be a Jinshi. He summoned the scholar-examination Academy to be awarded the Jinshi. Their family and the Cao Wei family are the two most inherited families of generals and ministers.

The Li family lived in the north of the city for many years, and the whole family occupied a lot of space. After the Sansi opened a new business there, the land price rose, and their family was the most profitable. Speaking of Jiyin, Li Zhaoshu's first choice was to think of his own home.

Xu Ping didn't know that the people outside were waiting for him to come out to treat him. In the room, he surrounded Jia Xian and others with him, talking lively to the pile of geometric figures on it.
