With infinite sympathy and inner joy.
The emperor personally poured Liu An a cup of tea: "I went back and found a chance to make up for you. But, haven't you hidden some?"
Liu An sighed: "Just just now, the Empress told me to meet me, because the macaw was going to reward me, so I just asked for a kind reward and asked the Empress to help me hide 300 sable fur. This is also because I am smart with my iron head, otherwise I would not even be able to save these 300 pieces. Now, my wife has not come back and is searching for my warehouse."
The four old men laughed again when they heard this.
They can sympathize with Liu An, but they just sympathize with him. After all, the meat is rotten in the pot, and it is not something that outsiders can snatch it away.
Lu Mengzheng said at this time: "When talking about serious matters, An Ge'er said there are three important matters."
Liu An nodded: "First of all, when I was in Goryeo, the Asu family in Japan, which was the owner of the manor building Zidao in Japan. The owner of the manor is like an official who was enthroned on the border, and is in charge of the affairs of the officials, government, military and civilians."
"I understand, you keep going."
"Asu's family came to Goryeo on behalf of the King of Japan. In the south of Goryeo, pirates attacked Zhuzi Island in Qishan. They often fought when they had time, grabbed when they fought, and ran away after they robbed. When I was the King of Goryeo, I was the master of the Song Dynasty and banned the sea in Goryeo. Fishermen registered, and the undocumented ships were not allowed to enter the sea, which solved the problem of pirates."
After hearing this, the emperor and the three princesses were resolved.
Moreover, this matter has little to do with the Song Dynasty, so it will do it if it goes with the flow of favors.
But then, Liu An said: "After learning about it, the King of Japanese will present a gift to the official family, 70,000 Japanese girls!"
"Seven, seventy thousand!" The emperor was shocked.
Xiang Minzhong also asked: "Not seven hundred, or seventy or seventy, seventy, seventy thousand?"
"Yes, 70,000, but the Asu family said that after the person was sent to the Asu family, they would choose at least 50,000 people to offer it. After all, it is a gift, and not everyone is qualified."
"Seven, seventy thousand." Xiang Minzhong stuttered even when he spoke.
Lu Mengzheng was very calm: "It is recorded in history that the Japanese presented gifts to the Emperor of Han and presented 120 Japanese girls. According to the records in history, it is roughly said that the Central Plains are vast and the Japanese are poor and there is no place to offer, so only the Japanese girls can barely serve as gifts. The Later Han Emperor gave 100 bronze mirrors."
Liu An said: "Official family, this person will be transported to Hangzhou one after another. What should I do next?"
The emperor was already confused.
He was very happy to offer 10,000 war horses to Xizhou, but these 70,000 Japanese girls...even if it is 50,000! This matter...
The emperor instantly focused his eyes on Kou Zhun's face.
But Kou Zhun glanced at Liu An thoughtfully, looked at Liu An with a calm face, and thought to himself that there must be some story in it. But the result is that at least 50,000 Japanese girls came to the Song Dynasty.
You can ask the process back, but this result must be faced.
Kou Zhun asked Liu An: "Brother An, what do you think?"
"My strategist has helped me think of three strategies."
"explain!"
Liu An stretched out a finger: "The first step is tolerate the hook."
"Nonsense!" Lu Mengzheng laughed and scolded. He knew that Liu An was not so stupid yet, and he dared to use this plan. If you give a gift from the small country, you will send people to the brothel. What do you think about the world? The Song Dynasty is shameless.
Liu An stretched out two fingers with his left hand and three with his right hand: "The second strategy is to let them find work in the Song Dynasty freely, and the official can introduce the work of maids and servants. The last strategy is to be married at the right age. The two routes of Hebei have been in war for a long time, and many of the soldiers in the army are vagrants and have no wives."
Kou Zhun understood.
I don’t understand how Liu An got 70,000 Japanese girls from the Japanese island. The direct purpose is this.
Kou Zhun said immediately: "Send official media, after all, it's better to be a wife and a concubine."
"Okay." Lu Mengzheng agreed.
The Song Dynasty is very strange.
Women cannot get married because they don’t have enough dowry. But in other words, women cannot get married because they don’t want to marry poor soldiers in their eyes. The ones they want to get married to are rich and good families in their families.
Those who are truly poor still marry soldiers.
The soldiers are in trouble.
Speaking of how many concubines Kou Zhun have, if Liu An is really willing, Liu An's concubines are guaranteed to surpass Kou Zhun and surpass Kou Zhun in terms of quality and quantity.
Kou Zhun himself believed in this.
This is the extreme.
Liu An can have dozens of concubines at home, but it is not easy for an ordinary soldier to get a wife. Even if he is a second marriage or a third marriage.
Kou Zhun added: "When the people arrived, the next article of the Privy Council was only said to be given by the official family. The rest of the affairs of the Ministry of Rites came to handle, and there would always be a reward for the Japanese."
Xiang Minzhong said: "How much is given this time, how to determine it."
That's right, it's hard to determine how much you give, and it's really a loss to give more. After all, the court did not get any good for giving this gift. But it's not appropriate to give less, so the face of the Song Dynasty was put there.
Liu An said, "I have thought about it and give you a hundred large mirrors and a thousand small mirrors. We can give you this. I remember that in the Han Dynasty, one of the bronze mirrors was given by the Japanese people. At that time, one of the bronze mirrors was placed on the Japanese island. Now our glass mirrors are the same. Add some silk, jewelry and so on the rest."
"Okay." The emperor agreed with this statement.
Glass mirrors are already sold by the public. Although the quantity is not high, they are already something that ordinary people can afford.
But there is no big mirror among the people, but it is only the emperor rewarded the nobles and officials at home.
Therefore, large glasses are still considered extremely precious among the people, but the craftsmanship is better than before, and the success rate is also very high. The emperor probably knows that the cost of a two-foot large glass is only a few cents. In fact, only Liu An knows the real cost.
Xianping's mirror making workshop no longer uses silver as a mirror, but instead uses mercury.
poisonous.
It's indeed toxic.
However, Taoist priests and craftsmen in the Song Dynasty played with mercury for so many years, so they naturally had a way to prevent poisoning. What's more, there were more than a thousand Japanese slaves in Liu An's hands.
"It is not a big deal to give me many mirrors." Lu Mengzheng did not take this matter seriously. Then he asked, "Let me talk about the second thing."
Liu An immediately said: "The second thing is also a big deal. I didn't expect to write official documents for the six documents along the way."
Lu Mengzheng pointed at himself: "Old master of the Secretariat, you can tell me."
Liu An then said: "Qiongya, the place of exile. The Ministry of Revenue has no household registration, the Ministry of Finance has no account, the Ministry of War has no military account, the Ministry of Justice has no official law, the Ministry of Rites has no official etiquette, the Ministry of Works has no map of Qiongya, the Ministry of Personnel..."
After all, no one understands what Liu An is talking about, and why Qiongya is called the place of exile.
It is not easy to survive in that place.
