Sitting upright in the Daqing Hall, Zhao Xu looked down at the civil and military ministers all over the hall.

Honestly, the scene is very shocking!

Because it was the dynasty of the dynasty, all the civil officials and officials in Beijing, military officials and ambassadors and above, as well as the Sixth General Office, the Three Guards and the Environmental Sanitation Men, all came.

Thousands of people.

So, not only the Daqing Hall was full of ministers.

Even outside the hall, there were also ministers who came to congratulate him.

Everyone is in a proper manner, following etiquette and law, and doing the standard actions they should do, and following the procedures they have already arranged.

This is the shocking point of traditional etiquette.

Even though Zhao Xu has been studying in modern times and is used to big scenes, he still feels a little intoxicated.

It’s no wonder that feudal emperors were always very happy to be successful.

Pursuing those unrealistic things.

For example, when all countries come to pay tribute, the four barbarians will accept the guests.

And they are one after another, repeating the same mistakes one after another.

Even Zhao Xu, who was in his previous life, was immersed in it.

I have also done it, just because a country that I had never heard of came to pay tribute, I was overjoyed and gave me a reward of ten times or a hundred times more than its tribute.

In order to seek a thousand gold horse bones, attract more tribute envoys, and decorate the prosperous era of Shaosheng in the Song Dynasty.

Fortunately, Zhao Xu has been studying abroad for ten years and has been able to overcome this mystery.

Therefore, when those missions under various banners came to the hall, he still had a expressionless face.

Until the officials of the Ministry of Rites brought a team of missions that claimed to be from the Dashimalabo Kingdom to the hall.

Zhao Xu finally became serious.

Why?

If the other party's identity is true, then they are the kingdom of food that now controls the Indian Ocean route and monopolizes the maritime trade between the Song Dynasty and Europe to a certain extent.

Its national location should be located in the modern Indian coast of Malabar.

There is a more famous name in this place - Cochin.

It is the old nest of the Dutch East India Company!

The famous sea coachman, the place he coveted and occupied is naturally a good place to do business!

Why does Zhao Xu know this?

He was involved in the archaeological project of the No. 1 shipwreck in the South China Sea.

According to the verification of the archaeological project of the No. 1 shipwreck in the South China Sea, we can know that from the end of the Northern Song Dynasty to the early Southern Song Dynasty, a Maritime Silk Road that originated from Yangzhou, Guangzhou, Mingzhou, and passed through the South China Sea, Chameng, and Sanfoqi to enter the Indian Ocean, through the coast of Sri Lanka and Malabar, and entered the Red Sea, had already taken shape.

Of course, now, all this is still in its infancy and has not really flourished.

There is a problem - Zhao Xu remembered that in his previous life, the mission of the Malabo Kingdom should have only arrived in the Song Dynasty in the third year of Yuanyou to try to obtain permission from the Song Dynasty court and open up the business path.

Could it be another team of scammers who come to cheat on food and drink?

Or is a team of Arab businessmen under the banner of big food pretending?

Zhao Xu is not sure.

But he picked up his pen and wrote down the four words "Malabo" on a Yuan book paper on the table in front of the imperial court.

After thinking about it, he continued to write on this note: Tong Guan went to find out the truth and truth.

After doing this, he handed the Yuan Shu paper to Feng Jing beside him.

After Feng Jing took it, he looked at it, then bowed and nodded.

It is naturally impossible for the ministers in the palace to discover Zhao Xu's small move.

But both palaces behind the curtain saw it.

So, the female official next to Empress Dowager Xiang came to Zhao Xu and asked in a low voice: "The Empress sent me to ask, is there something wrong with the official family?"

Zhao Xu shook his head and said, "I have nothing to do. Let me report back to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, I am just curious about the name of the Maboluo Kingdom. It's so strange!"

But he knew very well that Maboluo was the transliteration of Malabar.

This is verified by archaeology in the new century.

"Oh!" The female official didn't think much, but said, "The two empresses said: If the official family is exhausted, you can retreat to the palace first and rest in the palace."

When Zhao Xu heard this, he shook his head: "There is no need!"

"I am the emperor!" He replied seriously: "I will be treated to the court and be worshipped by the subjects!"

At last year's grand ceremony, he wanted to be filial and was not convenient to participate.

This year is the first time I have participated in this national ceremony.

Even though the Song Dynasty was a ritualistic dynasty since the beginning of the country - a conference attended by thousands of people could only talk about some etiquette and rules.

Even if it is Changchao and Sunchao, they can only discuss some general things.

The place where the real decisions are always made is always a confrontation between the emperor and the emperor himself.

But for this reason, such occasions are particularly important and serious.

Because Zhao Xu is facing the whole world!

Not only are there officials in Beijing, but also civil and military officials who should return to Beijing to report their duties this year or wait for the vacancies in Beijing.

Most of these people have been unable to speak to Zhao Xu for the rest of their lives.

The ceremony that Zhao Xu would definitely attend in the dynasty meeting became a few ways for Zhao Xu to establish a relationship between the monarch and the ministers with them.

Another way is to hold a suburb or Mingtang Festival every three or five years - suburb. The Mingtang Festival celebrates the same day and all officials will receive rewards.

...

After the female official retired, the remaining time for the dynasty meeting came to an end as batch of foreign envoys entered the hall.

When the last group of envoys bid farewell to the temple.

The missing villain in the Daqing Hall beat the small drum representing Chen Zheng.

So, the ritual music began to sound.

Han Jiang and Lu Gongzhu led all the civil and military ministers, royal family and nobles to bow their heads together and presented the congratulations of the second year of Yuanyou, drafted by the capital.

Zhao Xu naturally spoke inspirational words such as "Your and other officials, my loyalty, hard work, and I really sighed."

The ministers thanked again.

The grand dynasty meeting of the second year of Yuanyou ended in this festive and peaceful atmosphere.

The Inspector with the Imperial Equipment, the Imperial City Officer, and the Guduozhi guards who were in the left and right corner of the Dragon surrounded the two palaces and Zhao Xu. Under the fan and slogan, they began to leave the palace and retreat.

The ministers bowed and gave me respectfully.

...

Watching the two palaces and the emperor leave.

The ministers in the Daqing Hall all exclaimed.

They felt their calves tremble.

But no one dared to slack off. They went back to the court in groups, led by the chief officer of the department, according to their respective shifts.

Yelu Ju, the Liao envoy who had already retired from the hall and was taken to Xuande's disciple, was still savoring the taste of "frosting" they had tasted.

The mellow sweetness without any disguise still echoes in their mouth taste buds.

Let them feel it unbearable and look forward to the next time they taste it.

"Brother..." Yelu Yongchang pulled Yelu Ju's sleeve and said, "I have to buy that frosting!"

"And, you have to buy a lot of things!"

Yelu Ju nodded and said, "I know it myself."

He was sure that frosting must be another good thing that can benefit the country and the people after tea!

Not only the emperor will like it, but the courtiers will also fall in love with those beautiful things that are white and crystal-like.

Not to mention the leaders of the Bohai tribes, the female tribes, and the leaders of the various tribes.

They will exchange the most valuable things of their tribe with the Liao Dynasty!

He may even be willing to promote the Emperor of the Liao Dynasty for the sake of frosting!

So, as long as you buy it back, it is political achievements and credit!

The more you buy, the greater your political achievements and the higher your contributions!

But the problem is...

"It's only three million knots a year... It's too little, not enough!" Yelu Ju sighed.

"The Jiaozi quota was exhausted in less than October last year..."

"This year there are more frosting and cotton cloth. I am afraid that I can't afford these two major categories of frosting and even three months."

Yelu Yongchang listened, stunned.

Is it cost three million yuan in three months?

This...this is too exaggerated.

If this is the case, wouldn’t it cost tens of millions of dollars a year? or even more?!

Yelu Yongchang could not imagine how many tens of millions of copper coins would be piled together.

etc……
