Chapter three hundred and forty seventh sow discord
The world is filled with many interests, which are intricately intertwined. It is difficult to discover the connections among them without careful observation. However, once you calm down and carefully sort out the clues, you can achieve your goals through these interest connections.
After learning a lot of information from old Chen Lin, Ye An had a clue, so after seeing Xia Song's "enthusiastic" reception of the Liao Dynasty envoy, Ye An joined in even more "enthusiastically".
He hurriedly stepped forward to apologize and then toasted to the Liao Dynasty envoys: "All the envoys have traveled thousands of miles to celebrate the New Year of the Song Dynasty. Ye An was a little bit careless as a receptionist. I hope you don't take it personally! You should be careful.
One drink as a penalty!"
Seeing that Ye An's attitude changed so quickly and he drank all the wine in the glass, the Liao Dynasty envoy was somewhat confused about his details.
As the saying goes, "You can't reach out to hit someone with a smiling face." What's more, we were having a banquet at Honglu Temple in the Song Dynasty. Both parties represented the country, so they toasted to each other.
But gradually, Ye An's focus was on Han Chongan, and he introduced the dishes and drinks: "Han Zhengshi, will you like these dishes if you try them? The Lone Tree Golden Jujube is a famous food in Jizhou!
"
This jujube does not seem to be a valuable thing, but it is Han Chongan's hometown delicacy. Steamed cakes are cooked with jujube, and the red dates become distinct after cooking, and the rice does not stain. Drunk the jujube with wine, it is mellow and sweet, attracting people.
Food.
Most of the other dishes are Jizhou dishes, and they are entirely designed for Han Chongan. This shows that the Song Dynasty valued him as an envoy, and it was inevitable that Han Chongan would feel like he was a distinguished guest.
As for Ye An, you can't look at it. It's all about complimenting and praising the Han family, praising the Han family's contributions to the Liao Dynasty, and complimenting Han Chong'an for being the minister of the Liao Dynasty.
Too much flattery is always unbearable, and even Xia Song next to her feels a little embarrassed.
But with Ye An's "enthusiasm", Han Chongan's face became more and more ugly, especially when he saw Yelu Zongzheng and other Liao officials sneering beside him, he became more and more sure that Ye An was deliberately trying to alienate people.
group.
However, he was not worried. Instead, he picked up the wine glass with a smile and said, "Ye Hou's plan to alienate people is too obvious. The huge Southern Dynasty can't afford this small amount of coins?"
As soon as these words came out, they reminded the other people in the mission. As expected, some people's expressions changed, while Xia Song curled his lips. It is not easy to use alienation tactics against people like Han Chongan. The young man is still too naive.
!
But Ye An was not surprised. If he couldn't see through this little trick, he wouldn't be worthy of becoming the Southern Court Situ of the Liao Dynasty.
"I say this just for Han Zhengshi's sake. Of course I, the Song Dynasty, will pay for this! According to Han Zhengshi's amount, the money is 200,000 guan, and the silk is 100,000 pieces! A penny is a lot, and a piece is not short!
"
crazy!
Xia Song stared at Ye An in horror. In his opinion, Ye An was crazy. The words he said in Honglu Temple were the words he said on behalf of the Song Dynasty. They were completely beyond the preparations of the dynasty, and none of the ministers in the dynasty were there.
Know it, let alone what the saint will do if he knows it.
This kid doesn't care if he doesn't care about his own life, why did he drag himself in?!
Not to mention Xia Song, even the Liao mission opposite was stunned by Ye An's words. This was not a small amount of money. It was originally just a counterattack by Han Chongan to deliberately increase the price, but now it has become true. He even
I still feel a little unreal.
Who doesn’t know that every year on the matter of Sui coins, Song and Liao officials would often argue with each other for a long time before coming to a conclusion. Every time the Liao Dynasty envoys tried their best to increase the price, but today
It is very different!
Han Chongan made the people of Song Dynasty willing to increase the price with just one sentence. Among them...
Han Chongan naturally knew that this was Ye An's plan to alienate the mission, but this plan was too clumsy. After all, the benefits still belonged to the Liao Dynasty, and not a penny would go into his sleeve!
"May I ask if Marquis Ye can make the decision? It's a very important matter, so don't let something go wrong during the handover!"
Ye An laughed loudly: "I am the Marquis of Yunzhong County, and I have the power to control the affairs of Zhengdan. How can I not be the master? But I haven't finished speaking yet. This honor is given to you, Han Zheng, but I am big
The Song Dynasty had doubled its money. When they heard that the Han family was engaged in the wine business in the Liao Dynasty, they asked Han Zhengshi to promise that the wine of the Song Dynasty would flow unimpeded in the market, and the Liao Dynasty would not lower prices or impose restrictions!"
"Drinks?!"
Han Chongan was slightly startled. The officials of the mission and Yelu Zongzheng also looked at Ye An in surprise. Drinks were available in the Eastern and Southern Dynasties, including the Liao Dynasty. Who doesn't know how to make wine?
Da Song's wines are indeed good, but they don't account for much of the sales market. There are no restrictions or price reductions in the first place!
Although he didn't know what Ye An meant, after careful consideration, Han Chongan said to Yelu Zongzheng beside him: "This kind of transaction is not a loss. After all, it is an extra 100,000 yuan. Look, Prince of Zhongshan County."
?”
Following Han Chongan's words, Yelv Zongzheng was slightly startled. No, the Han family was in the wine business. If wine from the Song Dynasty entered the Liao Dynasty in large quantities, his family would be the first to be unlucky. Han Chongan should not have agreed.
The thoughts of the clan are always different from those of the courtiers. What the courtiers see is undoubtedly the more beneficial side of the Liao Dynasty, but the clan’s first thought is themselves!
Each of the Liao Dynasty envoys had their own thoughts, which was exactly what Ye An wanted to see. Of course, he was not in a hurry, but continued to entertain Han Chongan warmly.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of vegetables, Ye An smiled and said: "Seeing that there is not much left today, and after drinking so much wine, the Liao ambassador should get some rest early!"
After saying this, Ye An, smelling of alcohol, lay on the table drunk. Xia Song, who was beside him, quickly called the officials from Honglu Temple to carry Ye An away.
"This Marquis Ye seems to be capable of literary and martial arts, but he is so intoxicated with alcohol!"
After all the officials who were negotiating with the Song Dynasty left, Yelv Zongzheng couldn't help but smile and mock Ye Anlai. However, Han Chongan beside him did not pay attention to Ye An's drinking capacity, but looked at Yelv Zongzhengdao:
"The Prince of Zhongshan County doesn't believe me?"
Yelu Zongzheng immediately put down the wine glass in his hand and said: "What did Han Situ say? How dare I not believe you? The Han family has done a lot for us in Daliao, and who knows that the contribution is in Sheji? The flattering words of a mere child,
How can you alienate me?!"
What he said was righteous and his expression was solemn. Han Chongan nodded slightly: "If the people of Song Dynasty only want to make money with wine, then they are stupid. The lamb wine in Gaoyang Zhengdian is a product of Daliao. People of Song Dynasty
How can one compare with this? On the contrary, one hundred thousand guan of coins has been lost in vain, which is really stupid!"
"Situ is right! Xiao Wang also thinks so..."
This is the price of not paying attention to information collection. They came from the Liao Dynasty and had only arrived in Beijing for a few days. They did not know that the most popular wine in Tokyo at the moment was not the lamb wine from Gaoyang Zhengdian, but Ye An's Taibai wine.
!
Compliments rang out from all around. From the perspective of the Liao Dynasty who were envoys, the Zhongshan County King had no suspicion of Han Chongan. Han Chongan was still the one they wanted to flatter. However, amidst these compliments and Han Chongan's pride, Yelv Zongzheng's heart
But I am deeply afraid......
After Xia Song left Honglu Temple, he drove straight to the forbidden Zhongshu Province. All the ministers were waiting in the political hall for news of the Sui coin negotiation.
As for Ye An, who was drunk and unconscious, he woke up after leaving Honglu Temple. For him, an old wine putty, it is too easy to use tricks while drinking...
The bullock cart was also swaying towards the ban, but Ye An on the cart was very conscious.
The situation in the Liao Dynasty was no more stable than that in the Song Dynasty. It was the same in any dynasty. Especially when the old emperor was not good enough and the prince was young, many forces would get involved in such treacherous scenes.
Brother Xiao Bodhisattva is still alive now. Although she is not the real biological mother of Crown Prince Yelu Zong, she is as nurturing to him as Liu E, and even takes better care of him than his biological mother Xiao Yujin.
How similar is this situation to that of the Song Dynasty? It’s just that the Liao Dynasty was more dangerous than the Song Dynasty. The status of the Han family in the Liao Dynasty was much higher than that of Wang Zeng and Lu Yijian in the Song Dynasty! Not only that, the Han family held
The real power is also much greater.
The Han family that has already had a "regent" is very likely to have a second regent, and with the lessons learned from the Song Dynasty, Xiao Yujin will see his own glory and wealth become the possession of brother Xiao Bodhisattva.
thing?!
If he could really spend an extra 100,000 guan to "buy" the civil strife and turmoil of the Liao Dynasty, Ye An felt that this deal would not be too cost-effective!
One hundred thousand guan spent on this would be more effective than hundreds of thousands guan invested in border defense, but he did not intend to make the Song Dynasty suffer...
