Chapter 751: If something goes wrong, it will be a demon

"Your Majesty, what's so happy?"

When Chen Ao entered Wenjing Pavilion, his eyes fell on the map on the ground. He couldn't help but smile and quietly sat down. He took advantage of Zhao Ji's loss of consciousness and asked slowly.

Zhao Ji came back to his senses, glanced at Chen Ao, and couldn't help but smile and said indifferently: "I have been waiting for you for a long time. Come and show you something." He turned around and picked up a memorial from the imperial desk and handed it to Chen Ao.

Chen Ao only took a brief look, closed the memorial and said, "Why is the memorial of the surrender submitted by the Great Shi Kingdom recommended by the Great Yue Kingdom? This is surprising."

Zhao Ji disliked and said, "The great cannibals may feel alienated, but when they send me memorials at this time, I cannot treat them with slightest treatment. If they are willing to accept Mu Hua from the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty will also act like a country of heaven."

Unlike Zhao Ji who was immersed in his imagination, Chen Ao frowned. The Great Food Kingdom has always been the overlord across Asia, Africa and Europe, and its national strength is not inferior to the Great Song Dynasty. On the one hand, it controlled the channels for silk trade between the East and the West, and on the other hand, the sea trade was also extremely developed. If it weren't for the sudden rise of maritime trade in the Song Dynasty in recent years, the Great Cannibal would be much stronger than the Great Song Dynasty in terms of maritime trade. Even if it were the experience of using fleets to fight many times, it would not have to rely on the Song Dynasty like the countries in the South China Sea. However, suddenly surrendering at this time is really an indecent thing for the arrogant Great Cannibal Caliph.

What are their plans?

Chen Ao vaguely remembered the many news coming from Quanzhou, and gradually had some impression in his mind. While the sea trade of the Song Dynasty began to dump it into the South China Sea, the Great Cannibal also had a crisis. In fact, before the Great Cannibal traders of the Song Dynasty, the Great Cannibal had a close connection with the South China Sea, especially the Great Cannibal merchants, which were almost spread throughout the South China Sea, and even in Quanzhou, it was the main area where the Great Cannibals occupied.

Now the dumping of the Song Dynasty may have made the great cannibals feel strong pressure. On the one hand, the sea transportation capacity of the Song Dynasty gradually increased, which caused the marine trade that the Song Dynasty monopolized by the Song Dynasty to start to shake. On the other hand, the increasing number of goods in the Song Dynasty also made many of the goods of the Song Dynasty unsold. Under the strong competitive pressure with the Song Dynasty, the big cannibals, who originally only sold blankets and other goods had to start competing with the Song Dynasty, and learned some of the skills of the Song Dynasty in textiles, ceramics, and ironware, and sold them to the Southeast.

As a result, the competition between Britain and France in the south of China emerged throughout the country. In order to compete, the Song Dynasty and the Cannibals kept lowering the prices of goods. Although the pottery making techniques were far inferior to those of the Song Dynasty, their products were relatively crude, but the prices were even cheaper, and they did take away a lot of business from Quanzhou Maritime Merchant.

In addition, through the invasion of India, Dashi has already controlled a lot of land in northern India. It can be said that Dashi people have a great influence on Nanyang.

If there are two dynasties in the world that are the strongest and most prosperous and culturally prosperous in the world, then besides the Song Dynasty, only the Dashi Kingdom can surpass it.

Suddenly, the original competitor, now Dashi, has actually been surrendered, which is really elusive.

Chen Ao was confused and didn't understand Dashi's behavior, so he said to Zhao Ji: "Your Majesty, was the memorial of Dashi people personally sent an envoy to convey?"

Zhao Ji smiled and said, "It was the king of the Great Yue Kingdom who delivered it on his behalf. The envoy of the Great Cannibal is now in Chameng. As long as I promulgated the Golden Book of State, they will go north to discuss with me."

Chen Aohe nodded and had to say, "Congratulations to Your Majesty, if the great cannibals are called vassals and the Jurchens are destroyed, then our Song Dynasty will definitely be a scene of all nations coming to pay tribute."

Zhao Ji's horizons have now become much broader, and he couldn't help but smile: "This trip to Quanzhou, the World Exhibition is just the second best. It is the right thing to appease the countries. I can trust you, so don't neglect it."

Chen Ao nodded and saw with interest that there was a Suiya Weekly magazine on the imperial desk. The weekly magazine just turned to the last page. I guess Zhao Ji had just read it. In fact, the sub-page of Suiya Weekly magazine is very interesting. It is roughly about sixteen pages in one issue. In addition to stories, poems, and customs and customs in various places, this last page is the interesting news of various countries, such as the customs of Yue Kingdom, the interesting news of the Xixia people, and various experiences of the countries in the South China Sea.

Originally, in the hearts of the people of the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty was the world, at most, it was Xixia, Dali and Khitan. However, the promotion of weekly magazines gradually broadened the horizons. In addition, the rise of Shanghai trade, more and more people went out to sea. Those barbarian countries that used to think were far away in the sky also attracted the attention of many people.

Although Zhao Ji is deep in the palace, he is inevitably affected by it. He can occasionally tell the names of the Three Buddhas, Zhen La, and Bagan.

When Chen Ao thought of this, he suddenly felt that his arrival was not a bad thing. People's horizons have broadened and they have discovered a new world. Moreover, due to the increasing frequent interactions, it has a great impact on the direction of the entire country.

Chen Ao walked over and picked up the weekly magazine. The last page of today's weekly magazine wrote about the Buddhist teachings of Zhen La Kingdom. Zhen La Kingdom is different from the Great Song Dynasty Buddhism, but Buddhism is indeed much more prosperous than the Great Song Dynasty. Buddhism has long been established as the state religion and promoted it greatly. A few days ago, a group of Zhen La monks came here and built a Zhen La Temple in Quanzhou. The rules in this temple are somewhat different from the Buddhist scriptures and the monks in it are also different from those in the Great Song Dynasty. Therefore, this weekly magazine specially published a special topic, specifically listing the differences between the Great Song Dynasty and the True La Buddhism to attract attention.

It is said that because of this, several Zen masters from Suhang had already set out to Quanzhou to discuss with Zen masters from Zhenla.

Chen Ao couldn't help laughing and said, "The monk is not willing to be lonely now."

Zhao Ji was very excited. He was interested in the Huang-Lao technique of immortality, but he was not in the mood for the theory of reincarnation. Therefore, he said with a quips: "It's better to fight. It is said that they are Hinayana Buddhism. My Song Dynasty is Mahayana Buddhism. Today, when Mahayana encounters Hinayana, let them argue, it may not be a bad thing." Zhao Ji suddenly said: "Does the great cannibals believe in Mahayana Buddha or Hinayana Buddha?"

Chen Ao was stunned for a moment, then smiled secretly and said, "The great cannibals believe in the Koran, which is different from my Song Dynasty and other vassal states."

Zhao Ji smiled faintly and said, "There are all kinds of wonders in the world. Since we want to argue, it is better to let the great cannibals fight and let their Zen masters talk about their principles."

Chen Ao rolled his eyes and thought to himself, this is the Monodiac, who is a debate with you? They are all directly pursed. He smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I will take a look at this matter."

Zhao Ji suddenly said sadly: "I feel more and more uncomfortable. At such a grand event, I really want to go and take a look. Go and see the envoys from various vassal states and see their customs and customs. If you can't go now, you will have no chance in the future." He sat down and said melancholy: "I had a dream last night, dreaming that I went to Quanzhou."

Zhao Ji's face became calm again and said, "Sometimes it's really meaningless to be this emperor. I really want to put aside everything and leave everything behind, learn from my brother and do something absurd."

His brother was King Jin. Chen Ao couldn't help feeling sad when he thought that King Jin wanted to follow him on his honeymoon. At this time, he saw Zhao Ji's sad look and couldn't help but feel moved. This is already an old man in the evening. What's wrong with walking and looking at it? What court rules? Will going out and walking will harm the country and the people?

Chen Ao couldn't help but say, "If your Majesty really wants to go, then go there."

A trace of hope flashed in Zhao Ji's eyes, he glanced at Chen Ao and said, "I'm afraid of being stopped by the court officials."

Chen Ao pondered for a moment and said, "Let me do this bad guy. When I submit a memorial, even if someone scolds me, I can scold me. Anyway, I am notorious and don't care about such a crime."

Zhao Ji said: "Will the emperor's visit to the public betrayal, will it waste the people and cause money?"

Chen Ao said: "Where is a foolish monarch like Emperor Yang of Sui, wherever he passes, he will build dragon boats and build a palace. There are 100,000 followers, which will cover the clouds and sunshine, which will naturally cause trouble for the people and cause trouble for the people. But if Your Majesty keeps everything simple and only guards three thousand people at will, you don't have to worry about your stay or travel. He will not be allowed to welcome and see off the people and cause trouble for the four words "Futility for the people and cause trouble for the money"

Zhao Ji cheered up and said, "Yes, you are right. I will go there this time, keep everything simple, but..." He pondered for a moment and said to Chen Ao: "I won't go with you this time."

Chen Ao said suspiciously: "Who will I go with if I don't go with Weichen?"

Zhao Ji laughed and said, "You always give me advice. Today I have a way. You go to Quanzhou first, and then encourage the envoys of the vassal states to submit memorials, saying that the vassal states are gathered, hoping that I will visit Quanzhou in person and meet with the ministers. In this way, there is an excuse. I am the emperor and follow Emperor Taizong to appease the vassal states. Who can say anything? Even if someone opposes it, I have his own way."

Seeing that Zhao Ji had changed into a spirited look, Chen Ao couldn't help but wonder, am I fooled? Is this considered playing the emotional card to fool me?

After complaining in his heart, Chen Ao said, "I will naturally make arrangements for Your Majesty when I arrive in Quanzhou."

Zhao Ji took down one's thoughts, and his mood became particularly cheerful again, and he said excitedly: "I heard that Quanzhou is surrounded by mountains and seas, and the scenery there must be very magnificent. When I go there, I will compete with you in painting. If I talk about landscape painting, I am not as good as you, but if I talk about flowers and birds, you will be just as good as me. After I go to Quanzhou and think about it, landscape painting will definitely catch up with you."

Chen Ao listened to his bold words and smiled with a smug look: "If Your Majesty is interested, why would we make a bet?"

Zhao Ji immediately waved his hand and said, "If I don't bet with you, you are full of scheming, I will definitely lose."

Chen Ao was speechless. If he said that the person who knew him best in the world was probably the only one who knew him best, so he said, "If you don't gamble, I will say goodbye for now. I will meet His Majesty in Quanzhou at that time."

After coming out of Wenjing Pavilion, Chen Ao breathed a long sigh, and always felt that Zhao Ji had been circling himself in with words today, so his mind became hot and he begged the emperor to go to Quanzhou.

"Quanzhou...Dashi..." Chen Ao suddenly remembered the strange memorial, and became confused for a moment. If something is abnormal, it is a monster. This memorial must be not simple, and there must be something tricky.

After thinking for a while, he had no idea and had already left the palace without realizing it. Chen Ao got on the horse and took the guards to stroll on the long street. When he arrived at a downtown area, he saw a huge crowd of people outside. There was a plaque like "Quanzhou, Suhang" hanging on the door. Chen Ao couldn't help but put the horse over and said to the lieutenant behind him: "What kind of shop is this? Why haven't you seen it before?"

The captain behind him smiled and said, "This is called a craftsman shop. Nowadays, there are few craftsmen everywhere in Suzhou and Hangzhou, so someone started to do this business, set up this craftsman shop in various prefectures and roads, and posted the people they need to recruit, such as carpenters, masons, and wages hired. If a craftsman is willing to work there, he will immediately prepare a carriage and horse to Quanzhou and Suzhou. The carriage and horse fees all the way are provided by this craftsman shop. However, when the place where people are hired, they have to pay the carriage and horse fees for the craftsman shop. It is said that this business is profitable, and there are many such shops."

Another captain smiled and said, "Actually, the real money-making business of this craftsman shop is not just about introducing craftsmen. Hehe, your highness will definitely be interested in saying it."
