"Those who are not of my race must have different minds." Ning Ce said with a sullen face that this sentence had always been in his heart, and it was also the fundamental reason why he really disliked Western businessmen.
Zhao Jin was stunned for a moment, and then his face darkened.
"Teacher, if Zhao State develops alone, one day it will suffer." Zhao Jin said softly.
Ning Ce turned his head slightly and said nothing.
He never trusted foreigners.
Zhao Jin shook his head. This concept cannot be changed overnight.
He once again brought up the matter of Western merchants, "This matter will definitely teach them a lesson, but if we cut off trade with the West, we will even cut off contact."
"The only one who will suffer is ourselves."
Zhao Jin spoke slowly but clearly, "We don't know how strong they have become, we know nothing about them, and we don't have any understanding."
"If one day these Westerners covet our land and come to our country by boat, how should we deal with it?"
Just like, in Chinese history, the Qing Dynasty was awakened by the powerful ships and cannons of the great powers.
Zhao Jin looked at Liang Qian and Ning Ce who were stunned after hearing this.
He raised his eyes and continued: "By that time, it will be already too late."
After the words fell, the hall was silent for a long time.
After a long time, Ning Ce sighed, "How does the eldest prince plan to deal with this matter? If they are to make them never dare to do this again, this lesson must be profound for them."
Ning Ce compromised.
Star eyes became cold and sharp, Zhao Jin raised his lips and said: "Of course, treat others in their own way."
After saying this, Zhao Jin turned his head to look at the glass beads on the table and called the Yamen Guard.
The Yamen Guard lowered his head and saluted, "See you, Your Excellency."
But my eyes couldn't help but keep looking at the beautiful beads on the table.
Zhao Jin knocked on the table.
The sound of "Dudu" brought the yamen guard back to his senses.
Zhao Jin then said quietly: "Pack all these beads and give them to all the wealthy gentry and slightly more powerful merchants in Yunzhou City."
"Yes." The yamen guard was surprised and regretful at the same time that all these beads had to be given away, even if some were kept in the yamen.
In this way, when I am on duty at the government office on weekdays, I might be able to catch a glimpse of him.
So, today, all the wealthy gentry and big businessmen in Yunzhou City received a box from Zhao Jin.
Lianyunshan held the exquisite wooden box sent by the Yamen Guards in his hand, but he didn't know why.
"Sir, you are so good, why do you come here with gifts?"
Mrs. Lian next to her was a little curious, "Maybe it's a thank you gift. Master, didn't you unite with various families to send you grain seeds last time?"
Hearing this, Lian Yunshan felt that it made sense. He shook his hand twice, stared at the wooden box for a few times, and reached out to open it.
The moment the wooden box was opened, Lian Yunshan and Mrs. Lian couldn't help but hold their breath.
A snow-white, translucent bead that reflected light appeared in their eyes.
"Could this be the Night Pearl?" Mrs. Lian exclaimed.
Lian Yunshan never took his eyes away and reprimanded, "If you don't have good eyesight, how can this be a luminous pearl?"
But although this bead is not a luminous pearl, it is not much different from a luminous pearl. Both are priceless treasures.
"I boast that I have seen many treasures, but apart from the Luminous Pearl, I have never seen any other beads that can compare with this one." Lian Yunshan murmured.
He carefully took out the beads and raised his hand.
Under the sunlight, the beads look even more eye-catching.
"It's so beautiful." Lian Yunshan's eyes never left the beads, his eyes widened.
However, after admiring it, Lian Yunshan felt that it was too hot to hold the bead in his hand.
The treasure was a treasure, but it was too precious and made him restless.
What do you mean, sir?
Such a treasure was sent for no reason, and Lianyunshan had to guess the deep meaning behind it.
Zhao Jin's impression of these wealthy gentry was definitely not good. It was not until they came to help regarding the grain crops that they changed Zhao Jin's opinion.
After that, Zhao Jin's attitude towards them became a little better.
But Lianyunshan was self-aware. Although they contributed a lot to the grain issue, not to mention the grain they provided, they could not completely solve the problem at that time.
Even if he called on these wealthy gentry to bear all the grain, they would not be able to afford such a treasure.
Lian Yunshan carefully put the bead back into the box and handed it to his wife, "Madam, you must keep this bead."
He was worried and warned him several times.
Mrs. Lian held the wooden box tightly as if she was holding some treasure, with a smile on her face, "Don't worry, I know it."
"Hey!" Lianyunshan let out a long sigh, his face full of sorrow.
Lin Qingsong happened to be in Yunzhou City these days and met the Yamen Guards delivering the wooden box to the Lin family.
Although the Lin family later settled in Yunzhou County, due to the relationship between Lin Qingsong and Zhao Jin, and the Lin family seizing the opportunity, they quickly expanded in Yunzhou County.
At this time, the Lin family's strength in Yunzhou can already compete with the Lian family.
However, everyone who understands knows that the person standing behind the Lin family is Zhao Jin, and no one dares to provoke him easily.
Lin Qingsong looked at the wooden box in his hand and raised his eyebrows, "What kind of gift is this, sir? It's so mysterious...!"
Recalling the way the Yamen Guard was hesitating just now, Lin Qingsong opened the wooden box and suddenly stopped talking as he spoke.
"This is……"
What kind of beads are these?
Lin Qingsong carefully took out the beads from the wooden box. Even though he had traveled extensively and seen many treasures, he had never seen beads like this before.
He bent his fingers and tapped lightly, frowning, "This material seems to be somewhat similar to colored glaze."
But colored glaze has always been colored, and compared with this bead.
Lin Qingsong raised his eyes and glanced around, raised his hand to go to a glass dancer, and placed the two side by side.
Lin Qingsong bought Liuli Dancer from a Western businessman many years ago, spending more than three thousand taels of silver.
But putting the two together, Lin Qingsong could clearly see that the exquisite glass dancer was made to look like a street vendor.
Lin Qingsong let out a light "tsk", "It is impossible for you to send such a treasure for no reason."
He picked up the beads, put them in front of his eyes, and squinted his eyes a lot.
"The more I look at it, the more it looks like colorless glass."
It's just more transparent, more beautiful and attractive than colored glaze.
"Perhaps the problem lies in this bead?"
Everyone who received the beads sent by Zhao Jin's Yamen Guards all guessed Zhao Jin's intentions.
Especially when they knew that Zhao Jin had given away such treasures to more than twenty people at once, they felt even more uneasy.
Being able to make such a big deal means that the things behind it must be huge.
Just when everyone was in panic all day long, making random guesses about Zhao Jin's intentions, they suddenly received an invitation from the government office.
Due to various problems, the address has been changed. Please save the new address to avoid getting lost.
