Chapter 1864 This is the prosperous world(1/2)
"Thank you for your friendship."
The messenger returned and brought a list of needs of the Seljuks.
"We need a deposit." There was a blue purple ball in the corner of Chen An's eyes, and the messenger couldn't help but laugh when he saw it.
Is this the crown prince beaten?
idiot!
He felt that this famous general might be invincible in the conquest, but he knew nothing about foreign affairs.
"So what did Da Song use to ensure that Seljuk's deposit will not be swallowed?" This is a serious question. Chen An, who had pain in the corner of his eyes, would never know that he just hit the door of the cabin, which made the messenger believe in him more and more deeply.
"Of course, this is just a small problem." Chen An said: "The king accompanied him with a seal, and he will sign and seal it. As the prince of the Song Dynasty, his promise is worth tens of thousands of gold, and your people should know this."
The learned man followed this time and whispered to the messenger when he heard this: "Yes, what their emperors say is the law, and they will not regret it if they say it. The same is true for their prince, so there is no need to worry if they have seals and seals."
This is such a good partner!
Chen An felt that this well-educated man was really a teammate of the pig, and he really wanted to praise him.
The messenger nodded and then went to collect gold and silver.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
After the messenger left, Chen An returned to the boat and laughed wildly.
"It's all a stick!" Chen An couldn't help it, and laughed so hard that he leaned back and forth.
Everyone is happy.
"The Duke of the Nationalities sold weapons to the Seljuk people this time, the price... is really dark! I had a headache when I saw it, and I don't know how the Seljuk people were."
"It is not easy for them to build weapons, and our weapons are extremely sharp and naturally valuable."
"I've made a lot of money!"
Everyone looked at Chen An who was laughing and couldn't help but feel happy.
This time the navy went to war was purely a loss-making business. Before leaving, Han Jiang said frowningly that this year's days were going to be hard.
This also broke the law that the navy must make money when going to sea, so the navy was a little sad, feeling that the fine traditions of the navy were broken.
But who would have thought that Chen An would bring huge profits to the trip just by using one negotiation?
Will Han Jiang be ecstatic when he goes back?
"I'm not just happy about this." Chen An said: "The countries in the west are engaging in their strength. Their strength is not weak, so if you want to weaken them, the best way is to kill people with a knife."
Zhao Xu was stunned, "Are those countries very powerful?"
"Of course." Chen An didn't know the specific situation, but the subsequent expeditions proved that the place was not all mud. The Song Dynasty could also launch an expedition, but the cost was too high. Just the expense of transporting weapons and personnel from the local area could drag the Song Dynasty to poverty.
"The Song Dynasty needs to cultivate and nourish, and even clean up the threats around it." Chen An continued to analyze: "The Liao people are our main opponents. When the Liao people are destroyed, Seljuk will join forces with the cannibals to fight westward, and the Song Dynasty will sit by the side with a small punzi and watch the fun and sell some weapons at the same time..."
He smiled, "If the Seljuks thought the Song Dynasty was like this, then they would regret it."
Seeing that everyone was puzzled, Zhao Xu said, "The Mangshan Academy is studying a lot, and there is a very powerful thing that allows warships to move forward quickly without considering the currents and wind directions, and go thousands of miles away."
That's the steam engine!
These require step by step testing and research.
The achievements accumulated over the years are very gratifying, and what is even more gratifying is a powerful tool.
"The Seljuks sent gold and silver!"
Someone was shouting at the dock, and when everyone left the cabin, a row of carriages came slowly.
“I’ve gained a lot!”
Zhao Xu said happily: "Why don't the Seljuks bargain?"
"Because this is the money to buy the road." Chen An said lightly: "Someone mentioned twice that the 100,000 troops of the Song Dynasty crossed the sea to destroy the country. He knew that this was a threat. To relieve this threat, it must be beneficial to the Song Dynasty. But he wanted to be faced, so he didn't say anything about the covenant, so he bought and sold weapons at a high price."
Speaking of this, Zhao Xu couldn't help but think of the Chanyuan Alliance. "The Song Dynasty was weak back then and was forced to sign the Chanyuan Alliance, which was a humiliation. Now the Song Dynasty can actually make a powerful country bow its head and lose money thousands of miles away. This makes people feel as if it were yesterday."
"This is a prosperous era!"
A boatman said to his partner: "I heard people say that the Han and Tang dynasties were prosperous, and the Han and Tang dynasties were prosperous. I asked what the prosperous age was. Those people said they were not bullied. Who dared to bully us? Then kill him. This is the prosperous age."
"It's also necessary to be able to eat enough."
"Yes, now that there is a lot of food, the people can eat enough, and clothes... That cotton is so good, and it's good to weave cloth, and you can also make cotton coats. It's so warm!"
"If you can eat and wear well, outsiders dare not bully us. This is a prosperous era!"
"If anyone messes with him, we will beat him up. This is the prosperous era."
"Look at the gold and silver, this is apology!"
The sky was blue, and a few white seabirds flew slowly over, and a huge expedition fleet was gathering.
"Let's go home!"
...
This winter is very cold.
"Ah!"
Qin Guan sneezes and then goes into the yard.
"Have you seen the wind today?"
"It's out."
"Show me."
Qin Guan took a stack of manuscripts into the payroll room and watched slowly.
"Shaoyou, someone from Lu Zhiza came here, saying that you were going there at noon."
"good."
Qin Guan was still looking at the manuscript.
At noon, he had dinner with Lu Hui in a restaurant.
"The Huiying Newspaper has made great progress recently, and you have made great contributions." Lu Hui praised: "Jun Shi said that your future is promising!"
This is a praise from the old party boss. After entering the career of the officialdom, this is a helping force.
Qin Guan said a few words humbly, and then said, "Beijing Daily recently went to Daxiangguo Temple and had interviews about those miscellaneous studies. Those people were very welcome."
Lu Hui said lightly: "Just learn to do it."
"Yes." Qin Guan felt a little ashamed.
Huiying Daily was originally a product of following the trend, but later it also posited its own position, so it refused to gossip in the market. Later, seeing that the Beim News was very popular in Bianliang, I couldn't help but plagiarize it.
Now there is another wave of plagiarism, which makes Qin Guan very uncomfortable.
But something even more uncomfortable is still to come.
"Shaoyou..."
Lu Hui said hesitantly: "The carving of the plate... the carving of the plate is very difficult."
Qin Guan lowered his head, "Yes."
They have been using carved papers to publish Huiying Newspapers, which seems very good, but they can't stand it privately. It's not a matter of money, but timeliness.
"We can only issue one for Beimiao newspaper every day, and we can only issue one for three days. It is not appropriate to continue like this." Lu Hui said lightly: "You must be decisive."
Qin Guan nodded and realized it after returning to his place later.
This is the blame!
Lu Hui and others naturally want to save face, so they don’t want to blame the blame for using movable type, so who will bear it?
...
"Hi Ying News actually copied it once a day?"
Zhang Dun's life is very comfortable now, the key is that the job of working in newspapers is very suitable for him.
Fighting is his character, anger is his soul, and newspapers are his best battlefield.
But for a long time, Huiyingbao's stupidity made him feel a little dull and boring.
He got the latest Huiying News, and when he saw the font, he couldn't help but laugh.
"They actually used movable type, hahahaha!"
"The Duke of the State said before leaving that the old party would definitely learn to use movable type shamelessly. Sure enough, he saw through those hypocrites! Hahahaha!"
...
There are many people in the court meeting today.
"...The surplus will be more this year, but..." Han Jiang glanced at Zhao Shu, worried that the official would play a big move again and spent all the surplus. "But the navy went out for a long time and consumed a lot of money. When he returned, he had to repair the warships. If the soldiers made meritorious service, they would have to reward him, and they would have to spend money in all aspects..."
Zhao Shu gained a little more weight and looked more majestic.
