Li Wei's hand holding the wine glass froze in front of him, and the word "court" made him a little moved.

Chang'an, this is the foot of the Son of Heaven of the Great Yu Kingdom, and being able to hold an official and a half position in Chang'an is the ideal of many officialdom people for a lifetime.

"That's right, it's the imperial court." Xiao Ming's words became more and more explicit, "Now this Honglu Temple is about to step down in three years, and now many officials are rushing to get up, although Honglu Temple is not a lucrative position, but it is also an official residence." ”

Li Wei's expression struggled for a moment, and suddenly said: "But what does this have to do with Zaixia, this life may stop here." ”

"Not necessarily, if the envoy is willing, with the current status of this king, it is no problem to recommend a person to the emperor to serve as the secretary of Honglu Temple, isn't it? If the envoy is willing to do things for the king, three years later, the king promises to let the envoy serve as the secretary of the Honglu Temple. ”

Xiao Ming completely made it clear, Li Wei is obviously a person who attaches great importance to his official position, a chauffeur under the command of King Wei, and a member of the fourth rank of the imperial court, the difference between this is one heaven and one earth.

And the solicitation failed, Xiao Ming didn't have any losses, at most, he couldn't take advantage of some of the King of Chu.

Li Wei fell into deep thought, his father used to be a nine-rank official in the imperial court, and his dying wish was to hope that he would one day be able to become a supreme minister, but there was obviously no hope under the command of the king of Chu.

As King Qi said, now that he is getting older and older, he can only go home and farm if he waits.

And once he obtained the official position of Honglu Temple, he could enter the court to discuss the proceedings, what an honor, he said: "Your Highness is serious. ”

"Seriously."

Xiao Ming smiled, as he once said, the betrayal did not happen only because there were not enough benefits, people live with selfishness, and very few people can completely abandon the temptation. Confuse.

Li Wei continued: "There is no evidence for empty words, but please make a note for Your Highness, if Your Highness repents in the future, even if you die, you must let the people with lofty ideals in the Great Yu Kingdom know that Your Highness is a person who does not believe in his word." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Ming laughed, and he said, "What's so difficult about this. ”

After that, he asked Aster to prepare a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and wrote down his promise, and then he said to Li Wei: "Since it is a promise, then two people need to sign it." ”

Xiao Ming wrote down his name and handed the pen to Li Wei.

Stretching out his hand to take the brush, Li Wei took the pen and stayed on the note for a long time, because he understood that once he wrote down his name, he would have to wait for the dispatch of the king of Qi in the future.

If he doesn't comply, King Qi can also use this note to ruin his reputation.

But the humiliation of being sent to Qingzhou and the depression of these years finally made him decide to write his name on the note.

"In the future, His Highness has orders, and His Majesty will do his best." After Li Wei finished signing, he got up and saluted.

Xiao Ming waved his hand to let Li Wei sit down, this was the first time Xiao Ming had won over the minister, fortunately, he didn't expect it to succeed, and now he finally understood why the ministers in the court threw themselves into different vassal kings.

These vassal kings with different surnames have been operating in the Great Yu Kingdom for so long, so they are naturally better at winning over important members of the imperial court than him.

"The envoy doesn't have to be nervous, this king won't let you do dangerous things, just need the envoy to always inform the king of the information of Chu, and if the king of Chu has anything to worry about in this transaction, please also let the envoy know."

has already signed, Li Wei is also very conscious, he said to Xiao Ming: "Xiaguan is just serving as a Lin'an farewell driver in the Chu Palace, and the name of this farewell car seems to be not small, but in fact, it is just a record of daily affairs for the history of Lin'an's assassination, but because of this, Xiaguan has some understanding of some secret things. ”

Xiao Ming raised his glass and drank the wine, waiting for Li Wei's next words.

"Now the army of the king of Chu has a total of 15,000 musketeers, more than 3,000 merchant ships, these more than 3,000 are large merchant ships, excluding medium-sized merchant ships and small merchant ships, if you add these two together, the king of Chu has 8,000 merchant ships, this time the king of Chu and His Royal Highness did not want to take out large merchant ships to His Highness, but just wanted to exchange medium-sized merchant ships and small merchant ships with His Royal Highness, and at the same time, there were a total of thirty shipyards under the command of the king of Chu, but this time the king of Chu did not intend to hand over the real core craftsmen to His Royal Highness, Just give it to His Highness as an ordinary craftsman......"

Li Wei told Xiao Ming everything he knew.

Before he went to Qingzhou, the king of Chu explained to him a lot of the bottom line of the negotiation, and he naturally knew everything about it, but the king of Chu would not have thought that Li Wei would talk to him now.

The envoy in the Great Yu Kingdom has always been a very tragic role, and the envoys who send envoys to the barbarians are basically risking death, because if the barbarians are not happy, they will be killed.

At the same time, the vassal kings would also send envoys to each other, and if the envoys made the other party unhappy, they would be humiliated even if they were not beheaded.

So when the king of Chu picked him as an envoy, he was already very disappointed in the king of Chu.

Xiao Ming nodded frequently, it is true that the King of Chu wants to buy artillery, but it is also true that he wants to be shoddy, if he did not buy Li Wei today, it is estimated that this time the King of Chu will take advantage of the loophole.

In addition to the greasy in this trade, Li Wei also talked about the affairs of the King of Chu and the Cao family, and the transaction between the Dutch and the King of Chu.

Generally speaking, the Dutch now mainly buy porcelain, silk, tea and other items from the Great Yu Kingdom, while the King of Chu only buys arquebuses from the Dutch.

Moreover, the arquebus was sold at a price of five hundred taels, and a few days ago, the Dutch sold the mirror to the king of Chu at a high price, which made the king of Chu lose a lot.

"The real reason for the Dutch's dissatisfaction with the king of Chu this time was that the Dutch felt that they were losing out on trade, because the purchase of porcelain, silk and tea drained the Dutch money." Li Wei concluded.

Xiao Ming nodded, in fact, the problem Li Wei said was the trade deficit, and now the Dutch are obviously aware of this, the long-term trade has made Chu richer and richer, while the king of Chu rarely buys their goods.

The huge trade deficit between Britain and the Qing court led the British to eventually import opium into the Qing court, and it seems that the Dutch are now going crazy because of this.

The information Li Wei said made Xiao Ming very satisfied, and he would continue to provide information for three years, and at the same time, he would continue to uncover the traps in this trade, so as not to fall into the trap of the king of Chu.

At the end of the meal, Xiao Ming sent Li Wei to the Wei family restaurant to rest, and he was thinking about how to get the large merchant ships and high-quality shipbuilders of the King of Chu.

While he was thinking, suddenly an explosion came from the direction of Bowen College, startling Xiao Ming.

At the beginning, in order to facilitate the teaching of the Bowen College, which was only a few streets away from the palace, I don't know what happened with such a huge explosion.
