Chapter 157 Foreign businessmen inspected
In the house, Li She stomped her feet hard, walked to the door and looked at the sky, and said, "I don't know when it will snow. Come and go to the government office to see if there is any text sent back. If not, see if the grandfather Lu and Wang are there except the priest on duty? If they have all returned home, come back and report it!"
The public official agreed and tightened his public uniform tightly and ran out in the wind.
Li Shu returned to the case and sat down, reached over the brazier, rubbed her hands constantly, and was in a bad mood. Cai Qi, who was on duty, could not care about staying in the Political Affairs Hall, but if the two prime ministers Lu Yijian and Wang Zeng were still there, Li Shu would not be able to leave. The Sherenyuan belonged to the Secretariat, and there was a Sherenyuan here to obey the prime minister's orders at any time. Another master of the imperial edict, Ding Du, was not on duty today, and he would go back early as soon as he parted. Left Li Shu was left to endure hard in this ice-celled sherenyuan.
This ghost weather will snow when it will happen. Then you can’t ride a horse or a car, so how can you get home?
After roasting the fire alone for a while, Li Shu didn't know how long it took, but finally waited for the sent public officials back.
He went up to chant the promise, and the public official presented a text in his hand to Li Shu and said, "The youngest person came to the Political Affairs Hall. It happened that Mr. Lu had not left for a long time, and only Mr. Cai, who was on duty, was left there. When Mr. Lu left, he left this text, saying that the text of the letter drafted by the shepherd to return to the Xijing Left-behind Office was still omitted. The youngest person took it back and asked the shepherd to change it and then sent it to him."
Li Shu was confused and took the documents handed over by the public official in her hand, and returned to the fire plate to watch slowly.
Lu Yijian's comments were not strange, but he just mentioned the imperial edicts returned to the Xijing Left-behind Office, which should add what happened recently, which means praise and criticism and shows the attitude of the court. As for what to mention and what attitude to show, Lu Yijian did not write it, and let Li Shu guess it.
The text sent back at first glance was nothing special, but Li Shu always felt that it was abnormal. With Lu Yijian's personality, which really means literally, he would not send the imperial edict back. At most, he would add a sentence or two and hand it back and send it directly to the imperial edict. There must be something strange about Lu Yijian doing this.
Li Shu has a gloomy personality and nothing is in appearance. On the surface, she doesn't have any particularly close relationship with Lu Yijian, but in fact she has been secretly attached to her for a long time and wants to use Lu Yijian's strength to be promoted to the Bachelor's College. This is also the characteristic of Lu Yijian's party. On the surface, everyone is a normal colleague relationship, and even has no close contact in private, but she cooperates with her in key political affairs. Others know that there is such a small group, but they can't get any help from them and cannot catch a real handle.
Wang Zeng felt a headache about this, and Fan Zhongyan and others felt angry, but they had no choice but to do anything. Lu Yijian did not openly win over a group of people around him like Ding Wei, and would get rid of anyone who objected. He was moistening things silently and quietly placed his own people in various positions. On the surface, others could not see it.
After thinking about it, I couldn't figure out what Lu Yijian's intention was. Li Shu stopped thinking about it and put away the text she sent back, tidied up her robes and clothes, and prepared to go home. What Lu Yijian asked her to do soon will understand.
In Xijing City, Huang Jinbiao wrapped his sable fur robe and muttered: "What a hell of a weather? It's cloudy, it's snowing, and it's wind blowing when it's okay, it's frozen to death!"
A middle-aged man next to him was holding a folding fan and said slowly: "Mr. Huang, how can this weather be considered cold? In our Goryeo, when it is really cold, it is really cold! But the heavy snow in our place is also a scene. When will you go to Goryeo? I will take you to enjoy the ice and snow scenery, which is easy to see in the Central Plains."
Huang Jinbiao said angrily: "Close your beak, how big is the Central Plains? How many places have you been to! What kind of bird is your Goryeo Kingdom, not as big as our Yongzhou, what I have never seen before! Alas, it's not me that you barbarians are just not normal. It's all snowy weather, why do you shake it with a fan?"
The middle-aged man was not upset, and he played the fan in his hands and said, "I don't know that this fan was introduced from my country of Goryeo to the Central Plains. It was called the Goryeo fan in the Tang Dynasty. Playing with a fan is an elegant thing, what does it have to do with hot and cold?"
Huang Jinbiao stomped his feet and shook his head repeatedly. He was too lazy to care about anything with a barbarian, and he just kept moving forward against the wind.
After walking for a while, the middle-aged man couldn't help but ask Huang Jinbiao: "Mr. Huang, are you really familiar with Ducao from the West Jing Road?"
Huang Jinbiao said angrily: "This is not nonsense! I am not familiar with Xu Longtu, so why can I get rid of Yongzhou and how can I have today's wealth? Now I ride a horse and wear light clothes and fur, all thanks to Longtu. I am not afraid to tell you that when Xu Longtu and I met, Xu Longtu was still a magistrate of Yongzhou. I am Ruhe County Captain, and the officials are not two levels apart!"
The middle-aged man smiled and nodded. But he thought to himself, your officials were not two levels away at that time, and now Xu Longtu is already a third-rank senior, and he is the leader of Caoxian. Your wealth is a bit shabby compared to you.
After not walking far, the middle-aged man suddenly said, "Look, isn't it just a cotton coat sold there? Let's go over and take a look!"
Huang Jinbiao said, "What's the best thing? In such a cold day, you will suffer countless sins when you stand outside for a while. If you really want to see it, just buy a few items and take them back and take them to see it slowly! There are so many such treasures in Xijing City!"
The middle-aged man shook the folding fan in his hand and said with a smile: "It's the first time Huang Yuanwai has been to Xijing City. How could he know that there are many treasures here? We businessmen pay attention to the word "wealth", so we naturally have to look at it more."
"I am the same as you? You are a barbarian in a small country and don't have much knowledge. I have seen it a lot, and I don't have to come here to know it! I have been going to other places, so what's the difference between Xijing City?"
The middle-aged man was really upset by Huang Jinbiao's barbarian call, and turned to him seriously and said, "Huang Yuanwai, the surname is Wang Wen, and his name is Zaidao. Although he lives in Goryeo now, my Wang family was originally a giant family of Minyue and a noble family in China. However, his ancestors had to cross the ocean to settle down in Goryeo because of his unscrupulous position. Not to mention that my Wang family is now a top-notch family, but in fact, I am also a real Han Chinese, and you are a barbarian. Don't you feel embarrassed if you don't leave the word barbarian?"
Huang Jinbiao raised his head: "What's so embarrassing? 'If the barbarians enter China, then the Chinese will be like the barbarians.' I haven't heard this sentence? You are still a scholar, so you are not as good as me! Although I am from a barbarian, I am a clan, and I am an official in the Song Dynasty and receive the salary of the Song Dynasty. It's not a natural thing to call you a barbarian!"
Although Huang Jinbiao has not read much in the past two years, he has been traveling around the world and has to learn to be educated. He has specially asked people to teach him a lot of golden sentences in books. Can't a businessman from a small country deal with it?
After Huang Jinbiao met Xu Ping in Kaifeng, he became interested in overseas trade. With Xu Ping's name, he really came to him to find a way out. This Goryeo Wang Wen was known through the maritime businessman, and Wang Bin's family in Goryeo. After the two met, they hit it off and wanted to make a lot of money by going to Goryeo. Huang Jinbiao led him to the mainland for inspection.
