143 Good news
Ah Chou was supposed to take the order and leave, but he suddenly froze in place, and his lips trembled worse than stammering, and he couldn't say a word.
"Gotta ...... The minister or the subordinate has seen it...... Your Majesty...... Wang Xianggong ...... "This expression Hong Tao is too familiar, there must be someone behind him."
Don't wonder who it is, it's right to salute every time it's like this. Sure enough, the eldest brother and Wang Anshi were standing behind him, and there were already kneeling beside him, only himself and Ah Chou were still standing stupidly.
"Wang Xu, you are becoming more and more disagreeable, you have made my garden so unbearable and put it down for the time being, what is a minister or a subordinate official?"
Emperor Shenzong's face was not very good-looking, and people would not be happy to see the sewage on the north bank of Jinming Pond, the sky full of black smoke, and the black coal everywhere, not to mention that this was originally a royal garden.
“…… It's better to choose another suitable address, for fear of misleading Your Majesty's plan......"
What is a minister or a subordinate? I can't explain this sentence, so I just don't explain it. The relocation is exempt, the workshop and coking kiln have finally been built, there are suitable water flow and transportation conditions, and the forbidden army is guarding on the side, why move!
"You are a royal prince, when did you become so ruthless! I don't have to investigate the matter here, so you can tell me, where did the camels in Qionglin Garden come from? ”
The emperor's teeth were about to be crushed and he didn't say that he had to move, but he didn't want to spare the horses like this, this guy was getting more and more able to toss, and the two royal gardens were about to be ruined, not to mention, the people of the Imperial City Division actually found dozens of camels in Qionglin Garden, and they were all gray and white.
This thing is not produced in the Great Song Dynasty at all, only in Xiliang and Tubo, but where did the horses come from? I haven't heard anyone report this, and the taste of being out of control is something that every emperor doesn't want to taste.
"Camels? What is Camel? Hong Tao made the eldest brother stunned, he had only been to Qionglin Yuan yesterday, which has now become a sea of ash trees and rice sac flowers, and outsiders can't get in, where did the camel come from?
"Camels, camels...... The people from the imperial city said that they were from your house and drove thirty camels into Qionglin Yuan with waist cards. If you let those camels eat the seedlings and horses, the old man will not be able to protect you. Wang Anshi hated the virtue of iron not being steel, and fanned the flames next to him.
“…… Hehe, it seems to have succeeded...... Your Majesty is not busy giving the ministers a crime, and please move to Qionglin Garden. It's not a place to talk......"
As soon as she heard that it was a camel, Hong Tao probably knew who did it, Fu Jibei, she must have thought that it was safer in Qionglin Garden, so she drove the camel in exchange, and now she must be looking for herself all over the world.
Since she has returned, and she has returned with her camels, it means that the matter has been done. Then there is nothing difficult to explain, smuggling was an important part of the plan when it was first formulated, and the emperor and the two prime ministers also acquiesced.
There was indeed a large camel lying in the Qionglin Garden, and there was a circle of forbidden troops standing around it, with the bow wound and the knife unsheathed. It seems that whoever dares to move a step to the flower seedlings will have roasted camel meat to eat in the evening.
"How can the king see the appearance of this beast?" These camels are more likeable, and they all lie on the ground honestly, eating only the flowers and plants around them, and do not harm the rice sac flowers not far away.
"What a camel! What a camel! Xiliang not only produces horses but also camels, is tall and has thick leg bones, and is the best at long-distance transportation...... Where did the horses get such good camels, could it be that the ointment already has eyebrows? "Wang Anshi is also quite knowledgeable, which is related to the fact that he has worked at the grassroots level for many years, not to mention proficient, but the general good and bad can still be seen.
There is definitely no camel of this quality, and even if someone occasionally traffics it, it is a single quantity, and it is impossible to get dozens of them at once. Thinking of this, he suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed to the north, and as soon as the word flower paste came out, he realized that there were many people here, and he held back.
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Wang, the flower paste is not yet time, and the minister is just making preparations, first opening up the trade route and preparing for a rainy day. This batch of camels is indeed from the north, probably near Qinfeng Road Lanzhou, if you want to know the details, you need to find the person in charge to inquire. The minister sent someone to look for her, His Majesty and Wang Xiang might as well go to the room where the insects were raised to sit first, the tea minister was not prepared, and drinking some tea from the craftsman could quench his thirst. ”
As long as it is good, Hong Tao is satisfied, which means that Fu Ji has come into contact with Ahmad's people and completed the transaction. Fu Ji's business ability is still worthy of recognition, as long as there is the first contact, and the purpose is not to make money, presumably the task of establishing long-term business contacts has also been completed.
There is no need to hide this, I don't need to hide anything now, I can say that it is a broken jar, and it is okay to say that I am ordered to do evil, anyway, I am so righteous and have a clear conscience!
"Excuse me, I still have political affairs to deal with, and the matter of flower ointment must be handled carefully...... It's not advisable to trade too much cargo here, do you have a way? ”
The emperor had no interest in these camels, and when he heard that the horses were exchanged with the Xia people without permission, he didn't know whether to be happy or worried. The imperial court has repeatedly ordered that people are not allowed to smuggle, but it sounds like it is not difficult to operate. A colt who has ever come to the border can be at his fingertips, and one can imagine what will happen to those who are familiar with the border.
"What does the king think?" The emperor asked himself this sentence, but Hong Tao did not dare to answer.
Say it's okay, this place is really not suitable for goods exchanges, too close to the city gate and next to the official road, people will be found to be inappropriate sooner or later.
Saying that there should be another place in the field to arrange the goods, isn't it obvious that you want to go to the field. The departure of the horse from Beijing must be authorized by the emperor, and this kind of thing can only be said by the emperor on his own initiative, not by himself.
As the saying goes, a companion is like a tiger, even if the emperor of the Song Dynasty is a sick tiger, it is also a tiger, moody. If he becomes wary of himself because of this, he will not be able to communicate in the future, and he will think about anything you say in another way.
“…… The minister thought that Jingzhao Mansion was the throat of the water and land between the east and the west, and the water transport was mostly transferred here, and the amount of goods was large and miscellaneous. If a warehouse is set up in the local area and is disposed of by the horses, it has no connection with the imperial court, and it will not attract people's attention. ”
Wang Anshi slanted his triangular eyes and looked at the horse, probably assessing whether he should take the initiative to mention this matter. After hesitating for a while, I finally made up my mind.
"Accurate, swing the ......" Emperor Shenzong didn't even think about it, as if he had been waiting for this sentence for a long time, waved his hand at Pei Zhonggui, and walked towards the gate with a group of guards.
"Wang Xu, this matter ...... I've wronged you, settle down when you leave home in the future, don't worry about her anymore. But after taking two steps, the emperor stopped again, as if he wanted to say something encouraging, but his expression was not generous, let alone smiling.
"Minister......" Hong Tao didn't understand why the emperor was worried, it was probably not himself, I wanted to thank him, just opened his mouth The emperor has already gone away.
