Chapter 178 Tatar
Zhao Gou crossed his hands on the table in front of him, and did not speak. After thinking about it, he suddenly smiled and said, "It seems that I have not chosen the wrong person from you. As soon as he entered Yangzhou, he noticed the danger and could actually see my thoughts. It's good! But... I still hope that he can tell the difference between the primary and secondary."
"The Supreme Emperor, I think Ye Qing wants someone to secretly enter Yangzhou, I am afraid he has already known the difference between the primary and secondary." Wang Lun bowed and smiled.
"Oh? Tell me what you think." Zhao Gou suddenly became very interested, and his attitude was completely different from when he first entered the study.
"I think Ye Qing is quite sure about stopping the matter in the north, but he seems unsure of entering Yangzhou after finishing the matter. Otherwise, he would not have allowed him to enter Yangzhou, but should have entered Sizhou." Wang Lun looked at Zhao Gou, who had become quite relaxed, and said in his heart.
"Did you say the reason to ask for someone?" Zhao Gou knocked on the table with one hand, reflecting that he was somewhat anxious at the moment.
"Reason..." Wang Lun glanced at the secret letter and said with a wry smile: "Ye Qing's reason cannot be called a reason. It means that he is afraid that after finishing his errands, he will be retained by the hospitality officialdom in Yangzhou, so he wants people to save face."
"Yangzhou's hospitality officialdom! It seems that someone has come into contact with him. Even though I have abdicated for a long time, it seems that there are still people in my Song Dynasty who have been silently watching my every move. I am eager to find out where my sight and attention are from the Imperial City Department. It seems that some people in Yangzhou are very restless." Zhao Gou shook his head and sighed: "If Ye Qing's trip could be the purpose of shaking mountains and shaking tigers on Huainan East Road, it would be my wish."
"Then this person..."
"Give it to him." Zhao Gou said firmly: "If both things can be done, I will reward him! But if nothing can be done, there is no need for him to go back to Lin'an. Let Sheng'er come in, and I have something to discuss with him."
In the end, Zhao Gou seemed to have regained the feeling of not being afraid of him and entering the golden camp alone.
Ye Qing and others who had just arrived in Sizhou in three days were still unbelievable when they looked at the simple city gate and the endless stream of commercial and traveling carriages at the city gate. Sizhou, as a trading town between the Song and Jin Dynasties, was so lively.
Along the way, in addition to Yan Qingcheng introducing to him, Sizhou towns were only famous because of the large trade between officials and businessmen. There are also many towns along the Huai River, but they are much smaller than Sizhou.
As the carriage slowly entered Sizhou, Ye Qing's mood seemed more excited and confident than when he first entered Yangzhou City.
In his opinion, if Yangzhou and other places could be as prosperous as Sizhou, then the Song Dynasty would have no hope.
Of course, the premise is that the officialdom along Huainan East Road is better to be more honest, rather than endlessly squeezing farmers and merchants' interests, and harshly increasing taxes.
Compared with the groggy Yangzhou that Ye Qing saw at dusk, Sizhou, which flourished and showed its vitality, it can make people feel happy.
Although Sizhou City is not very big, the main streets, one vertically and one horizontally, form a not too big city. However, the merchants, trades, restaurants, inns and other shops in the city seem much more lively than Yangzhou.
Moreover, as for business travelers, you can not only see the Song people bargaining with the Jin people, but also see some Western Xia merchants, even Mongolian merchants, and other merchants walking on the streets, looking at the items they want to buy.
Qingzhi Inn, the huge signboard is particularly eye-catching on this bustling and bustling street. Even more than 20 people including Ye Qing slowly walked into the inn, it did not attract too much attention from others.
After all, there are many business trips here, and the number of people in any business trip is 20 or 30, or even more than forty or fifty. So in Sizhou City, a caravan with about 20 people seems extremely common.
Just as he followed Yan Qingcheng's carriage and entered the backyard of Qingzhi Inn. A quiet courtyard was behind, Lao Liu excitedly emerged from behind Li San.
Haha, he pounded Li San's shoulder and saluted Ye Qing, and then said, "I thought you could arrive yesterday, but I didn't expect that I was one day late and missed a good show."
"What a good show?" Ye Qing handed the horse to the clerk, greeted Yan Qingcheng, and asked while looking at the quiet yard in front of him.
"Brothers who rushed over quickly, didn't I tell me to stare at Luo Shichuan and others?" Old Liu looked around sneakily, and after watching the imperial guards of the Imperial City Division were all busy with their own things, he whispered: "Guess what? As soon as I arrived at the Sizhou Wharf, I saw Luo Shichuan walking down from the boat with the golden man wearing big gold earrings. But unexpectedly, when the golden man who got off the boat left the boat, he actually had a conflict with several Tatars. The two sides had already fought. In the end, the Sizhou government arrived and pulled the two sides apart."
"The Tatars are so powerful now? Even the Jin people dare to provoke them?" Pi Li San tilted his head and looked at Old Liu in disbelief and asked.
Old Liu smiled mysteriously and said, "Not only dare to mess with me, it is said that a powerful wolf appeared on the grassland now. Although it is not yet a weather, the Jin people have already felt a little crisis. It is said that the Jin emperor plans to move the capital."
Ye Qing was shocked. The Mongols should have surrendered to the Jin Kingdom at this time. How could they dare to fight against the Jin people at this time? What's more... Temujin should be still taking revenge at this time, right? It's still early to unify Mobei.
Did you remember history wrongly, or did you mean that there was something you didn’t know about?
"Why do we need to move the capital? Although the Tatars are strong, the Jin people should not be afraid of them." Ye Qing asked calmly.
"The leader of the Tatar tribe is afraid, but it does not mean that the Tatars are afraid. Do you think they are all like our Song Dynasty. The court is afraid, and the people are afraid too. The Tatars don't care about that much. They dare to fight you if they disagree. When the Jin people meet, they will avoid it. So you came one day late and missed a good show." Old Liu said excitedly.
In his opinion, as long as the Jin people can suffer losses, no matter who beats the Jin people, it is a matter worth celebrating.
