Many things about Wancheng.
Meng Zongzheng did not tell Bi Zaiyu. In his opinion, Bi Zaiyu is a new member and has no contribution yet.
What's more, the Wancheng Army has not fully recognized Bi Zaiyu.
The Wancheng Army represents a new life.
Two days later, Jin Zhongdu.
The emperor of Jin State urgently invited him to see him, but in name he was the imperial envoy of the Song Dynasty, and arranged for important officials with status in Jin State to accompany him.
Although Han Tuozhou had no information before entering the Jin Dynasty Palace.
But Han Tuozhou would guess.
Banquets and other things are all nonsense. Whether in Jin or Song, holding banquets and envoys in the palace are excuses.
Something must be wrong.
Han Tuozhou firmly believed that it must be a headache for the Emperor of Jin.
Then guess in this direction.
A series of troubles caused by the Yellow River breakdown. The Jin Dynasty was not enough food, and large-scale civil unrest occurred in the victims, or plague.
No!
Han Tuozhou shook his head, the Emperor of Jin was not the Emperor of Song Dynasty.
This guy doesn't love the people that much.
Then it may be Xin Qiji or Wancheng.
When Han Tuozhou entered the palace, he was not immediately taken to the main hall, but to the side hall. The reason was that the emperor had a small banquet.
But let alone food, the side palace does not even have a platter.
The rules of the Song Dynasty were the ones that were good-looking but not eaten. The Jin Kingdom also learned this.
The imperial banquet, no band, no dancer, no wine.
It seems that something must have happened, and it was a big deal.
Han Tuozhou first greeted him according to the etiquette, and then after the full set of etiquette came down, a eunuch from the Jin Kingdom ordered him to serve tea.
The eunuch in charge has a good reason: "The banquet is still being prepared. Tonight is a big banquet. This tea was purchased from the tea mountain in the west mountain of Lin'an. One pound of tea is eight taels of gold. I heard that there are only two hills and there are no more than thirty-six tea trees. It is rumored that this tea tree was planted by the Emperor of Suzhou and Hangzhou in person when he went east to Suzhou and Hangzhou."
The tea was delivered to Han Tuozhou. When Han Tuozhou looked at the tea bowl, he smelled the tea fragrance that spread out. He thought to himself: Isn’t this the tea from his Xishan Tea Garden? His son named the tea Longjing.
It was also said that the Emperor of Sui personally dug a well.
No one can deceive himself. The tea garden has been there since Han Tuozhou's father was alive. The well is indeed very old, almost forty-five years, and it was a well dug by his own tea farmers.
After opening the tea bowl, Han Tuozhou looked at the tea leaves again. After savoring it, he was very sure that it was his own tea.
One pound of tea and eight taels of gold, why don’t you know the price?
When the tea was drunk, Han Tuozhou spoke: "His Majesty the Great Jin Emperor, this tea is indeed the tea from the West Mountain. Tea farmers hid the tea trees very deeply, and there are many royal tea gardens in the West Mountain. Many people asked them to inquire but didn't know which tea trees were specifically. This year, the new emperor of the Great Song Dynasty ascended the throne, and the government did not like tea, so I was really afraid that someone would neglect the good tea trees."
What tea?
The Emperor of Jin was still swelling at this moment, so he didn't care about tea.
This tea is really good, very good.
As Li Xier said when he presented it, this tea was secretly left by the tea farmers. A pound of tea, a leaf and a bud, was to be picked by a girl in the morning when dew is in the morning.
After Han Tuozhou finished speaking, the Emperor of Jin did not answer.
Jiagu Qingchen spoke: "There is something that the envoy of Song knows."
"Please talk." Han Tuozhou said in his heart, you don't say anything nonsense, you just go to the topic so directly. You really don't care at all, and you don't even say a few more words on the scene.
Jiagu Qingchen said: "The Yellow River broke its dam, and there were many refugees, but there were more refugees and rioters. Many original bandits also emerged from their rat nests to cause trouble. At present, Xu Chiguo, the deputy prime minister of my Great Jin, was kidnapped by bandits. The leader was named Xin Yu, who was the third son of Xin Qiji."
When Han Tuozhou heard this, his face had no expression on his face, but he was very happy.
Sure enough, you are in big trouble.
Jiagu Qingchen continued: "As far as the information I received from the Jin Dynasty, Xin Qing originally went to several bandit leaders. Xu Chiguo would have a banquet every time he arrived at a place, and he did not follow the route agreed with the prefectures in advance. He also missed the time to pick up the meeting, so he was robbed by the bandit leader Yang Tianxing."
Han Tuozhou then responded: "The foreign ministers don't know where can I serve your country?"
Jiagu Qingchen asked: "How would you usually deal with such a thing if you are in Song State?"
Han Tuozhou did not rush to answer. He first analyzed the reason why the Jin people asked this question, and then considered the current situation. Han Tuozhou decided to make profits from himself and the Song Dynasty first and never get involved in this matter.
After thinking about it, Han Tuozhou replied: "Generally speaking, it is to send an official to recruit you."
Recruitment.
What a helpless suggestion.
The Jin people have never recruited the helpless people, but there is no way to recruit the helpless people like Yang Tianxing.
Xin is even more impossible.
Jiagu Qingchen asked again: "What if I can't recruit you?"
Han Tuozhou immediately replied: "Save some money, after all, it is also an important official in the court, and he always needs to take care of it. I thought that in the Song Dynasty, Taiwei Gao was also kidnapped by Liangshan bandits, and after spending some money, the people came back safely."
The Jin emperor's face looked very bad.
You, the State of Song, don’t have shame, I, Dajin, want it.
Even a grand marshal can be kidnapped by bandits and even the court needs to spend money to redeem it. This is a shame.
Wanyan Xiang spoke: "Xu Chiguo, it's better to die. He is just a criminal... greedy for money and drinking to make trouble."
After hearing Wanyan Xiang's words, Han Tuozhou began to wonder why he paused in the middle and what he originally wanted to say?
Maybe it was a Han official.
In Wanyan Xiang's eyes, it doesn't matter how many Han ministers died.
Wanyan Xiang said again: "The bandits made a request to divide the land from Pingliang Prefecture with our Dajin. They originally planned to ask for 100,000 dan of grain and 100 million yuan. Later, this request was cancelled. Perhaps Xu Chiguo had paid the money himself, so it was absolutely impossible to divide the land and manage it."
Speaking of this, Wanyan Xiang stood up and bowed to the Jin emperor: "I personally lead the army to quell the rebellion."
The Emperor of Jin shook his head: "It is okay to send a general to suppress the rebellion."
"I'll call you."
"Everything follows the prime minister."
Wanyan Xiang bowed again, then sat down, and then said to Han Tuozhou: "There are several new alliances between the Jin and Song dynasties. My Great Jin returned Dengzhou, Tangzhou, and Qinzhou to the Song Dynasty. The previous annual monies were cancelled and the country of brothers was changed to the Jin and Song Dynasty. Every year, the Song Dynasty needed to offer gifts. The value of the gifts should not be less than 200 million yuan, and 100,000 dan of rice was transported as a gift, and 300,000 dan of rice at the same price as Lin'an Prefecture were sold in the middle."
Han Tuozhou breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and the agreement was finally concluded.
And it's what you want.
"Okay, everything depends on the words of the prime minister. But adding 10% is not enough, you need to add at least 30%. It is very costly to transport grain from Lin'an to Zhongzhong."
