Pond, quite rude.

Of course, Xu Jing definitely didn't know that these mulberries were picked and sold to the main stores outside Donghua Gate. The main stores would take them and make wine, or pound them into juice and add ice to sell them. If he wanted to eat them,

You can buy it directly when you go out.

However, Zhao Jiu would not care about this and directly waved his hand: "Let Jin Fushi come in first."

Wang Lun responded and turned to look at Xu Jing. Xu Jing, who had been staring in the direction of the fish pond, was stunned for a moment before he realized what he was doing. He quickly turned around with a chamberlain, and after a while, he brought Jin Fushi.

Since Jin Fushi entered the back garden, he rarely looked at the mulberry forest and was stunned for a moment. But after all, he was a true elite of this era. He was just startled, but he immediately returned to normal, and then followed Xu Jing and the chamberlain.

In front of that stone pavilion, I calmly handed over my hand.

At this time, all the ministers from Zhao Ding on down wanted to stand up according to etiquette, but were stopped by Zhao Jiu with his hand.

Not only that, this official didn't even give him a seat. He sat directly facing Jin Fushi and said: "Qing Jin, this is the second time we have met. I know you are a rare person. You also

You know my temper, and since you landed in Dengzhou, you have been reading newspapers and looking for people to find out about prices. I am afraid you are also aware of the situation here, so I won’t talk nonsense with you today.

…”

"The foreign minister asked the Emperor of the Song Dynasty to teach me." Jin Fushi straightened up after hearing this, raised his hands and responded in a deep voice.

"First of all, I sincerely pity you for your talent!" Zhao Jiu looked at this person and responded sincerely. "And I will never discriminate against you just because you are a Korean... If you can come, I will first serve as a Hanlin bachelor and serve as a scholar."

I have made internal arrangements to prepare for my consultation on matters in the north. After the Northern Expedition is successful, there will be a minister or an envoy waiting for you... If you are willing, please come forward and sit down in the pavilion now to talk to me and the ministers.

Hold the minister's book and share a bowl of mulberries, and then I will speak to the Wang family of Goryeo and bring your family here. How about it?"

Not to mention that Jin Fushi was already dumbfounded in the middle of the journey. The people around him, from Zhao Ding and Zhang Jun to Liu Ji Chengui, from Li Guang to Hu Yin and Lin Jingmo, and on one side Fan Zongyin, Lu Benzhong, Ren Baozhong, and even Yang Yizhong, Liu Yan, and Langui were a little bit gloomy.

... It took a while for Lan Gui to come back to her senses, and then she signaled the waiter to place another bowl of mulberries.

Not to mention Wang Lun and Xu Jing, especially the latter who was already dumbfounded... I was just thinking about how many years it would take to eat this bowl of mulberries, but it turned out that my old friend had the qualification.

In short, no one expected that this old-fashioned drama of seeking talents that only existed hundreds of years ago would appear here.

But everyone who knows Zhao Guanjia's character knows that he has a frivolous temperament, and also knows that he is really eclectic about talents. This includes Jin Fushi, who has long believed that this Zhao Song official is not joking.

And if what happens today can come true, I am afraid that the anecdote about Zhao Guan's family recruiting scholars with a bowl of mulberries will be included in countless notes and even official history.

Without further ado, back in front of us, under the sunshine which was not too hot but still a bit hot, even though Jin Fushi had made complete mental preparations before leaving this time, he was still in a shaky state at this time... This temptation had a great impact on him.

It's really big!

A foreign prime minister is essentially just the leader of the Yangban of Kaijing (Seoul) in the country, and at most he is a figure who divides the world with the leader of the country, the Yangban of Xijing (Pyongyang).

How can it be compared with the ministers of a great country? How can it be compared with the strategic envoys of a great country? Which great country is not more populous and wealthy than Goryeo?

From the perspective of the pursuit of Confucianism, the internal system of the Song Dynasty, the so-called Hanlin bachelor's degree, serving the emperor, and even today's Zhao Guan family sincerely seeking talents, has always been the inner dream of this kind of people.

Even further, with the situation between the Song and Jin countries, the next step is nothing more than the Jin Kingdom stabilizing the situation, or the Song Dynasty's Northern Expedition being successful... So from a special perspective, for the sake of the motherland, becoming a close minister of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, in the future

In the latter case, isn't working hard to protect the motherland the key thing that Kim Bo-sik is pursuing now and even in the future?

At this moment, Jin Fushi was almost about to step forward - as long as he stepped forward and sat down, he no longer had to worry about domestic party strife, no longer had to scheming with the country's leader, and no longer had to think about how to clean up the domestic filth.

The power of the monks can also better help the motherland to avoid difficulties in the future, without delaying his own prosperity.

In fact, Jin Boushi really staggered forward.

But just saying this step made him wake up immediately, and then he handed his hand to him seriously: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. I am deeply grateful, but I have an idea from when I was studying decades ago.

I want to imitate the history books of the Han Dynasty and compile a history book on the rebellion of Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje, describe the legal system of Goryeo, and create a monument to the Goryeo family. If I eat this bowl of mulberries, I am afraid it will be difficult to write a book.

"

Hearing this, some people inside and outside the stone pavilion opposite were relieved, some were in awe, and some had no expression on their faces, but everyone followed the Zhao Guan family's previous instructions without saying a word.

The Zhao Guan family was obviously a little disappointed, but they still nodded solemnly: "I won't force it, but you need to know... Since you want to talk about the legal system of Goryeo, you have to bear the weight of Goryeo's national destiny."

"The foreign minister is naturally provincial." Jin Fushi raised his voice in response, as if he had completely recovered from the previous wavering. "The foreign minister is the Prime Minister of Goryeo."

"That's good." Zhao Jiu also raised his voice and spoke sternly in the audience. "I know the purpose of your trip, and I also know the attitude between you and Gao Li behind you. But Jin Qing, you must know that Song and Jin are not at odds...

...Goryeo is on both sides today. Although it is a small country's helplessness, I will never feel any pity for it. I only know that I have treated you with courtesy, but you just pushed back. What's more, you have betrayed the Song Dynasty and served Nuzhen.

Implement it! Goryeo must come up with enough things, otherwise one day, I can do it arbitrarily, and I will do it arbitrarily to repay Goryeo for all the disobedient acts it has done so far!"

"The foreign minister thought that the official family would have the demeanor of a superior state." Jin Fushi was silent for a moment before responding.

"If Zheng Zhichang said this, I would believe it. If you say it, I would just think it is fart!" Zhao Jiu responded more and more sternly. "When I heard about the Jingkang Incident in Mingzhou that day, I immediately returned home, and then suppressed the whole country.

To make Goryeo surrender to the Jurchens, who is the one above praising the Jurchens for their great achievements in capturing the two saints?"

Hearing this, Li Guang, who was still in awe, immediately changed his expression, and the other civil and military officials of the Song Dynasty were also a little unswerving.

Jin Fushi, on the other hand, remained calm: "How can a small country with few people throw the whole country into a tiger's mouth just to protect the face of a big country? What's more, the Jingkang Incident was not caused by us Koreans."

"Then let's stop talking nonsense...you must know clearly what I want." Zhao Jiulian didn't bother to say anything.

"The foreign minister knows." Jin Fushi sighed slightly and frowned. "But I have no choice but to forgive the foreign minister. Goryeo is so big, even if it liberalizes the market, it is poor and small, how much profit can it make to the Song Dynasty? After all,

We Koreans need so much silk, and porcelain is useless, and it is not food. If your Majesty is willing to sell some armor..."

"It can be sold to the Jurchens!" After hearing the last half of the sentence, Zhao Jiu suddenly interrupted the other party coldly.

There was silence for a moment inside and outside the stone pavilion.

Jin Fushi was stunned for a moment, obviously not believing his ears, but the next moment, he suddenly realized, even Zhao Ding and others also suddenly realized.

And Zhao Jiu also repeated it expressionlessly: "The Jurchens have a lot of gold and silver. They have almost robbed all the gold and silver in Tokyo and the Central Plains! There are also nobles in Liaodong who have received countless gold and silver! Of course, besides gold and silver,

, it would be better if you could buy their war horses and food. Even furs can be made into military uniforms to keep out the cold! I also want good wood! But I only give you porcelain and silk! How big is the huge Jin Kingdom?

Don’t you know the market? Not only did I not force you to go to war with the Jurchens, but I also gave you Koreans a way to make money for nothing. Why don’t you thank me for my grace?”

By the end of his words, he had become cold and cold.

When Jin Fushi heard this, he knew that he could no longer bargain, but he lowered his head and bowed to him: "Your Majesty, I will definitely give it a try when I get back!"

"I have a private letter here to Zheng Zhichang, asking him to help you, and a letter to your king, telling him that I only gave in like this for the sake of Academician Zheng... You can take them both.

Go." Seeing the other party's promise, Zhao Jiu waved directly. "I'm tired today. If you get the news, go back home early!"

After saying that, Liu Yan stepped forward and handed over the two small wooden boxes. When Jin Fushi heard that disgusting name, his mood became more complicated.

But so what?

On the one hand, given the size of the small country, I was really afraid that the Zhao Guan family in front of me, who was so ruthless that he planted mulberry trees in his backyard for four years, so that the mulberries could grow to a large scale, would take revenge on Goryeo after the Northern Expedition was successful.

The two leaders of the two classes in Xijing, one is a crazy monk who thinks about beating the Jurchens all day long to achieve great achievements, and the other is a stupid poet who is coaxed by Zhao Guanjia and only regards this man-eating official family as a god... He Jin Fushi

He is a self-proclaimed person, so what can he do?

In the end, he could only accept the two wooden boxes, bowed slightly, and was led down by Xu Jing with all kinds of thoughts on his mind.

On the other hand, seeing this, Lin Shangshu came to his senses again. He could only say that this official of his had real means. He had targeted Goryeo, a small country with few people, and was subject to the overall situation of a big country, so that in the past he was obviously in

Zheng Zhichang had put a lot of effort into him, but today he was forced to pay back Jin Fushi, who was really responsible... But everyone knows how easy it is to work on Zheng Zhichang, and for someone as ambitious, capable and courageous as Jin Fushi

Characters, how difficult it is to work hard on them.

While he was thinking about it, Xu Jing on the other side had already left and returned, and beside him there was a man in strange attire, and another man whose attire was not strange, but was wearing a bright brocade robe.

The former is undoubtedly the Japanese envoy, while the latter is probably a maritime trader who came to such a place for the first time and wore random clothes.

Before the two of them arrived, the merchant, who was shining in the sun, bowed to Zhao Guan's family from a distance. The middle-aged Japanese official named Taira Takaramori on the other side also hurriedly imitated the merchant's salute, but unexpectedly he

His movements were unfamiliar and he was at a loss for a moment. When he bowed down, he actually knocked over the silk conical hat on his head, revealing a weird bald hair style.

At this time, almost everyone in the stone pavilion frowned - because these people had never thought that the Japanese who respected the Tang culture in the past, as clearly recorded in the book, would now imitate the Jurchens and Tangxiang people.

Bare forehead!

This gave them a bad instinct.

Even Zhao Jiu was stunned for a moment and stared at this person's forehead... This caused Renbao Zhongrensheren, who was behind him, to immediately adjust his mood and glare directly at the person coming.

However, Ren Baozhong may have mistaken his meaning... Of course Zhao Guanjia also made the association, but he did not associate it with the Jurchens and the Party members, but said that the official knew from the beginning that Yue Datong was a representative of the Japanese samurai class.

Sexual symbol, but I did some research a few days ago, and I know that the current situation in Japan is that the emperor and his family are fighting for power within the emperor, the emperor, and the emperor, so I always thought that the samurai class did not appear at all these days.

But taking the lead this month is more convincing than any words or research - the person who came, that is, the Japanese central minister Daisuke, who clearly wrote the three characters Taira Taira in Chinese characters, although he did not bring a samurai sword and wakizashi, there was no doubt that

He is a samurai, and a samurai can actually serve as the governor of a county and the central minister, and he can also deal with this diplomatic turmoil on behalf of the Japanese royal family, which is enough to explain the problem.

Don't forget, the Zhao Guan family has played many low-end games. He knows a little bit about the decline of the public family and the rise of the Wu family.

"Everyone, get up. You don't have to be polite. I don't rely on etiquette to become the emperor." After thinking this, Zhao Jiu immediately laughed.

The maritime merchant first thanked him, stood up, and then followed Xu Jing's reminder and realized his responsibilities, and then quickly used Japanese to wake up the people on the ground.

"I've said it all, there's no need to be restrained, and the translator doesn't have to wait for me to finish speaking. Just translate it to him in a low voice." Seeing this, Zhao Jiu ordered him kindly again, his attitude completely different from when he faced Jin Fushi. "You guys come together.

Come and sit."

Next, Haishang was naturally inexplicably grateful and thanked him repeatedly. Then he realized his responsibilities under Xu Jing's repeated reminders, but was overly cautious. Until the two of them sat down carefully together, Ping Zhongsheng also put on his hat again, and

We ate a bowl of mulberries together, and then we gradually calmed down.

But he still didn't dare to look directly at Zhao Guan's house and the group of purple-robed officials sitting on the other side.

It was already noon. Zhao Jiu forgot to look at the sky and was not prepared to delay. He thought for a moment and asked the first question: "Can you please translate and ask Ping Qing for me how his hairstyle is?"

So weird?"

And sure enough, after Haishang's translation came over, Ping Zhongsheng was giggling for a while. Just as Zhao Jiu thought, this hairstyle didn't appear for a long time. It was mainly popular among "warriors" because when fighting pirates, they had to wear it all year round.

In a state of combat readiness, long hair was inconvenient to take care of, so I shaved it off to protect myself from armor.

Of course, Zhao Jiu was aware of the term "martial man", but he asked a few more questions.

As for Ping Zhongsheng, although it is not clear whether he was used to being discriminated against in China and appreciated the approachability of Zhao Guan's family, or because he landed in Dengzhou and followed the Yellow River, he saw the Imperial Navy, Right Army, Front Army, and Central Army along the way.

The navy was so densely packed that they didn't know the power of the hundreds of thousands of armored troops, and seeing a city like Tokyo City, they were honest and answered all questions.
