While Zhao Ning and Qian Yuqing were discussing this matter, Li Ruoshui suddenly asked for an audience outside Wende Hall.

"Xuan."

Li Ruoshui walked in and said, "Your Majesty."

"What's the matter?"

"The Xixia envoy wants to meet the Holy Spirit."

"Messenger from Xixia?"

"I want to thank His Majesty in person for reopening and expanding the market for Xixia," Li Ruoshui said.

"Oh?" Zhao Ning was a little surprised, "When did Xixia people understand etiquette so well?"

Li Ruoshui said: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's not that simple."

"how do I say this?"

"I am plotting Yinshan now, Xixia must take action, but the Xixia envoy comes to express gratitude at this time, thinking that he has the same purpose as us."

Qian Yuqing said: "Deliberately paralyzing us?"

"What Li Qing said makes sense!" Zhao Ning showed a smile on his face, "If the Xixia envoy does not come to express gratitude, I will not be able to determine the Xixia people's intentions. This is called hiding something."

"In this case, the Xixia people will really take action next." Qian Yuqing said.

"And we will definitely unite with the Jin people." Li Ruoshui said, "It will happen now."

"Call him in."

"yes."

Not long after, the Xixia envoy came in.

"Foreign ministers see His Majesty the Emperor of the Song Dynasty and wish him peace."

"Sacred peace."

"The foreign minister's visit this time represents our lord's gratitude to the emperor for his generous gifts, and he also presents a bloody horse to express the everlasting friendship between the two countries."

"Expanding trade between the two countries is beneficial to the people of both countries and is what the people of both countries want. Any misunderstandings between the two countries in the past have been resolved now. I have always been willing to maintain a long-term, peaceful and stable relationship with your country."

"My Lord also expressed his respect for His Majesty."

"Send hello to Lord Xia for me."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After the Xixia envoy resigned, Zhao Ning said to Li Ruoshui: "Go and send a message to the Military and Political Council, saying that the Xixia people will take action next year, and Shaanxi must come up with a practical strategy to exterminate Xia, and also urge us to speed up the attack on Anbei Prefecture.

If anyone dares to delay this matter, I will never go around him."

"Yes, I will go right now."

At this time, the elegant room of Fanlou outside Donghua Gate in Tokyo City was full of people.

Qin Xi was very proud, and the Political Affairs Hall issued an order to the Shipping Department of Hangzhou City. His Majesty the Emperor wanted to declare the mass cannibalism, which was well known in the official circles of the capital.

This matter involves the Maritime Trade of the Song Dynasty and is related to the new prime minister Qian Yuqing. Many people actually want to take this opportunity to extend their interests to the Shipping Department.

Even if Qin Xi doesn't come, many officials will come.

Everyone wants to know in detail what kind of big deal the imperial court is doing with these big cannibals.

Qin Xi asked Zhang Tao: "How long have you been working in Hangzhou Shipping Department?"

"If I return to Qin Shangguan, Xiaguan has served in the Shipping Department of Hangzhou for one and a half years."

"Oh, a year and a half." Qin Xi picked up the wine pot and poured a glass of wine for Zhang Tao himself. Zhang Tao quickly stood up and said, "No way, how dare I trouble Shangguan Qin to pour wine for me."

"Hey, you are a guest in the capital."

Zhang Tao said a few polite words and then indulged in the atmosphere of the high-ranking officials in the capital praising him, as if he felt that he would have a bright future.

So, he enthusiastically introduced all the cannibals present.

The leader is called Pu Sangyuan, and it was this time that he came to meet the Holy Spirit.

Pu Sang was originally fluent in Chinese, but preferred Wu dialect and Minnan dialect.

The surname Pu in southern Fujian comes from Nanfan, which was the name of the countries in the South China Sea during the Song Dynasty.

The surname Pu is actually the literal translation of Big Cannibal.

The Cannibals and Persians were doing trade in Guangzhou as early as the Tang Dynasty, and by the end of the Tang Dynasty, the population exceeded the local Han people.

It was precisely because of this that he had the malicious intention to occupy Guangzhou and launched the massacre of Guangzhou.

Later, Huang Chao carried out a large-scale cleansing of the area, resulting in heavy cannibal casualties. The remaining cannibals slowly settled in the area and still roamed the sea doing business.

The Pu family is a big family in Guangzhou and is active in Quanzhou all year round. It has a branch in Quanzhou.

Due to his cannibal bloodline, it is easier to trade with the cannibals there in the South China Sea.

Qian Yuqing was sent to Hangzhou to take charge of the Municipal Shipping Department. Hangzhou Port became increasingly prosperous, and the Pu family began to develop in Hangzhou.

Pu Sang was originally a member of the Pu family.

In other words, he is a foreigner who speaks dialects.

The Central Plains dialect of this era was Mandarin.

Of course, what Kaifeng in this era spoke was definitely not the Henan dialect of later generations.

Pu Sangyuan said: "I am very grateful for your hospitality to us. It is our first time here and we are not familiar with the place. We hope you will understand."

Qin Xi said: "Easy to say, since the imperial court summoned you, you are my friends of the Song Dynasty."

Zhang Tao said: "Mr. Pu, this is a doctor in the official department. His father is the prime minister of the dynasty and has a high position of power."

Pu Sangyuan continued: "We are here at the request of Qian Shangguan. When will we go to see Qian Shangguan?"

"Ms. Qian is very busy. I have already sent someone to inform you. We will see you in the next two days. But it will only be good for you to settle the relationship with this person now."

"You people are really too much!" said a big cannibal on one side. "The old man deliberately blocked my way before. Your emperor and prime minister want to see us again, and even sent people to arrest us. We are so easy to bully.

!"

The speaker's name was Pu Shouchong. He was very strong and had a lot of meat and fish all year round. He had a beard, deep eyes and a high nose.

The facial features are very obvious.

In ancient times, this kind of appearance was not good-looking and was considered to look like a ghost.

So in the 21st century, Cantonese people still call foreigners "ghost guys".

Qin Xi laughed and said: "There were some small misunderstandings before, and the matter has been resolved. You don't need to take it to heart."

"I heard that the women here are very beautiful?" Pu Shouchong suddenly showed that smile.

"Hahaha, it's been arranged. I'll be here soon." Qin Xi smiled and said, "I also have something to ask you."

"But it doesn't matter."

"How many transactions are there with the imperial court this time?" Qin Xi asked.

Zhang Tao said: "Qin Shangguan, this is a secret of the imperial court, I'm afraid..."

"You don't want to stay in Shibosi your whole life, right?"

"this……"

"Come to me in the future and I will ensure that you become the prefect of Hangzhou." Qin Xi said.

"Thank you Qin Shangguan for your cultivation!"

"Tell me, how much?"

Zhang Tao hesitated for a moment and asked Pu Sangyuan: "How much business does the imperial court have with you this time?"

"Three million strings."

Zhang Tao himself took a deep breath.

When he translated, Qin Xi also took a deep breath. Is maritime trading so profitable?

The smile on Qin Xi's face became more kind.

"We are all friends from now on. Just tell me about your Zhang Tao matter and I will handle it well for you."

"Thank you, Mr. Qin."

Qin Xi said to Pu Sangyuan: "I also have a big deal to discuss with you. We in the Song Dynasty are short of everything, except for the goods that can be sold."

"Easy to say, easy to say."

"Is the woman here?" Pu Shouchong asked impatiently.

"I'll urge you." Li Mi stood up and walked over to open the door.

At this time, Gao Qiu and the people from the Imperial City Division filed into the Fan Tower and walked up.

The old bustard accompanied him and said hurriedly: "What is the important matter for Captain Gao to come in such a hurry?"
