Chapter 600: Retreat as Advance
(The second shift, the third shift is in the evening.) )
Su Jin's goal was achieved, and he didn't want to be entangled too much, this silver was originally a bargaining chip, and it was better to get it than to get it.
This is like hanging a big stone on Xiao Temo's head, if the big stone really falls down and smashes his head and bleeds, although it is refreshing for a while, it may not be a relief for Xiao Temo.
Su Jin just wants this feeling that the boulder will not fall, he has always become his creditor, but he has the opportunity to forgive the huge debt, starving you to death, Lao Tzu will starve you to death.
If Xiao Temo is a smart person, he will naturally not be too unreasonable in the later state negotiations, after all, the creditor is currently not confident in his heart.
Fu Bi sent Ma Han and Xiao Dahu to be treated, and the Imperial Physician Meng really gave face, looked at the injury, and promised that it would be healed, both of them were flesh and bone injuries, and both of them were rough and thick-skinned, so it was not difficult to recover, but it would take some time.
What interests Doctor Meng is not the injuries of these two people, but the reason for these two injuries; Ask Fu Bi, Fu Bi is really hard to speak, is it because Su Jin and Liao envoy Xiao Temo gambled money and bet on the lottery, causing his subordinates to fight to the death?
Although this is the case, Fu Bi changed his way of saying it, and immediately became more righteous and strict.
"The reason why these two people were injured was to win face for their respective courts, and they are both brave and admirable."
Imperial Doctor Meng was suddenly in awe, of course, this respect increased even more with the medical resources that Fu Bi gave him fifty taels of silver, and he originally planned to order his apprentices to take care of his wounds, but now he also rolled up his sleeves and went into battle himself.
At noon, Fu Bi and Su Jin set up a banquet in the most famous Fan Tower in Bianliang to wash the dust for the two Liao envoys.
The four of you humbly let me sit at the table, and I couldn't see that just now, the two gangs were still gambling in the pavilion, one side won a lot of money, and the other party lost like a wash in his pocket.
Of course, such a banquet is not as simple as picking up the wind and dust, and from the beginning of the morning contact, the actual negotiations between the two sides have begun.
Negotiation is not about setting the table, everyone sits down and you talk nonsense to each other; Negotiation is not only about the sharpness of words, but also about psychological suppression, and more importantly, the strength represented behind him; This is the reason why Xiao Temo and Liu Liufu are still very proud although they have lost all their money.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors, no matter how delicious Fanlou's dishes are, they can't stop the mouths of diplomats; Xiao Temo devoured most of the honey. Roasted leg of lamb in sauce, burped and spoke.
"The two adults are grateful, Xiao is grateful, when it comes to eating, drinking and having fun, you Song people are much stronger than our Da Liao; Take a look at these dishes, all of them are finely crafted, and the color and taste are good, and I have some doubts that your Song people's minds are thinking about these things all day long. ”
Fu Bi and Su Jin could both hear what Xiao Temo said, and now Fu Bi is also full of confidence, and the critical scene in the morning was reversed by Su Jin, and Fu Bi's original sense of awe of the Liao envoy was gone.
"The people take food as the sky, and they don't get tired of eating and not getting tired of being fine, which is the image of leveling, and the people are rich and the country is strong, and they will have the heart to pay attention to eating, drinking, and enjoyment, and the uncivilized people can understand the truth by drinking blood and eating cattle and sheep."
Su Jin nodded secretly, this is heavy enough, if you scold us for being greedy for enjoyment, I will scold you for being barbaric and not rude.
Xiao Temo laughed and said: "The rich lord makes the words quite sharp, and the envoy admits that what you said seems to have some truth, but it is suspected of being strong and reasonable; As far as I know, your Song Dynasty was not a prosperous and prosperous era as you say, on the contrary, not long ago, you had a great famine, and although this famine was resolved, it was greatly damaged; The people are hungry and have nothing to eat, but what are you still saying here: 'You don't get tired of eating, you don't get tired of being fine'; is this self-deception or ignoring the life and death of the people? ”
Fu Bi was speechless for a while, and hurriedly thought of the wording to refute, Su Jin picked up the conversation and said: "Lord Xiao is full of information, but your news is not very accurate. ”
Xiao Temo was very polite to his creditor, and asked with a smile: "So, Deputy Envoy Su knows the inside story?" I hope that the facts are the facts, and if you don't admit it, it doesn't mean that he doesn't exist; If he speaks like this, he will not talk nonsense if he has no basis. ”
Su Jin smiled: "What you know is just the surface, I only need to ask you one sentence to know whether you know whether it is deep or shallow; It is true that my Great Song Dynasty suffered from drought and a small famine, but do you know who the imperial court sent to clean up the grain affairs? If you say it, you will be considered right, and if you can't say it, you can only say that you only know the surface. ”
Xiao Temo was stunned and said: "Isn't it the responsibility of your three divisions of the Song State to purge the grain affairs?" Who but him? ”
Su Jin laughed and said: "Let's just say that you don't know anything, and when you pick up a copper coin under the tree, you say that this tree is a cash cow, just chasing the wind and catching shadows." ”
Xiao Temo said: "Listening to your tone, it seems that you are personally involved in it, and the major food affairs are not enough for the important ministers of the court to take on the important responsibilities, so I have the intention to give you a high hat to wear, saying that you did it, but you can't wear this high hat, so what can I do?" Hahaha. ”
Liu Liufu laughed with him, and was finally able to despise this young man, and his heart was quite useful.
Su Jin and Fu Bi glanced at each other and laughed; Xiao Temo said: "You are speechless when the envoy said, to be honest, the envoy suspects that you may not know as much about the food affairs of your country as I do. ”
Fu Bi twisted his little beard and smiled and fell, until Xiao Temo's face showed a little anger, and then he said: "Master Xiao, the grain envoy who handles grain affairs is far away in front of you, but you are pitiful when you hit the geese but were pecked in the eyes by the geese." ”
Xiao Temo was stunned and said, "Could it be you?" No way! Don't coax me, I know that your rich lord used to serve in the Criminal Department, and now he has been promoted to the palace to serve His Majesty the Emperor of your country, and it is not you at all. ”
Fu Bi and Su Jin were secretly frightened, and they even knew the official promotion of Fu Bi, an ordinary official, Xiao Temo, which showed that the Liao people paid great attention to the Great Song Dynasty, maybe there were eyeliners all over the country, and it was unknown that they also had their eyeliner in the DPRK.
Fu Bi fixed his mind and said: "Naturally it's not me, I don't have that much ability, there is another person in front of me, Deputy Envoy Su is the special envoy of Qinming Grain Affairs who handles grain affairs with his own hands, do you think he knows the inside story?" ”
This time it was Xiao Temo's turn and Liu Liufu to be surprised, Xiao Temo shook his huge head full of yellow hair and said: "Don't believe it, this envoy resolutely doesn't believe it, this deputy envoy Su has never held an official position in your court, and he is only a teenager, how can he take on such a big responsibility." ”
Su Jin said with a smile: "If you don't believe it, it doesn't mean that it's not true, the grain affairs are supervised by myself, and it is not as sensational as you said; I have only collected a small part of the grain from the people, and the grain crisis will be lifted, but it is not a big loss of vitality as you said. ”
Xiao Temo was a little stupid when he opened his mouth half-open, and only listened to Su Jin continue: "My Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty implemented benevolent government and practiced the policy of enriching the people by hiding Tibet, to put it mildly, it was a famine, that is, three or five times, and the grain hoarded by the people was enough to deal with it; Lord Xiao came from the north, and he saw some outcasts and riots along the way. A sign of chaos? It's Bianliang, the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, I'm afraid you've been carefully observing it these days, have you ever seen the slightest lack of food? ”
Xiao Temo muttered: "That's not true, but the internal friction of the natural disaster hurts the muscles and bones, and the appearance is naturally not visible." ”
Su Jin said with a smile: "I understand what Master Xiao means, you just want us to admit that my Great Song Dynasty is now short of clothes and clothes, and the people are not living, okay, since you insist on thinking so, then I will satisfy you, Lord Xiao makes me poor and I don't even have pants, eat old bark for meals, sleep in barren grass piles every night, you have hundreds of thousands of troops on the border, our Song people are about to starve to death, and we are powerless to resist, you come and fight us." Haha, are you satisfied? ”
Xiao Temo blinked and was stunned, this is exactly what he wanted to express vaguely, he wanted to say, you Song people have an empty treasury and the people are not happy, I am a big Liao lion million Chen soldiers border, I can set foot on you at any time; Nian has a brotherhood in the Song Kingdom and my Daliao, and now our emperor has put forward a few conditions for you to go down the ladder, so you don't have to bargain.
Hit in the morning, he learned to be obedient, and in order not to provoke the creditor to be angry, he wanted to express this meaning in a roundabout way, but now he was broken by Su Jin, but he was speechless, and he didn't know where to speak.
