Chapter 358 Xiao Gao, the champion who sincerely cares about Xiao Fengxian’s future (1st update)
The calligraphy skills of Xiao Fengxian, a brother with a different surname, were quite poor. This gave Gao Zhang, who was used to dealing with masters of calligraphy, at least those who had passed the calligraphy standard, a bit of a toothache.
In addition, there is a lot of interesting content in it, describing how Xiao returned to Daliao.
He was cordially received by the Emperor of Daliao at the first time, and he was very fond of the clock that he spent more than ten thousand yuan to buy.
What's more, after entering the Song Dynasty, Mr. Xiao worked conscientiously and conducted research, and finally discovered that the Song Dynasty had secretly signed a peace agreement with Xixia.
The strategy was changed in a timely manner, which ultimately prevented Daliao's foreign policy from being embarrassed.
In particular, the successful signing of the book trade and currency import agreement with the Song Dynasty made the Emperor of the Liao Dynasty very pleased.
Therefore, he, Xiao, had gained the favor of the Emperor of Liao Dynasty and had been promoted to Privy Councilor of the South Academy.
Because Nanyuan was the official responsible for overseeing the military and civilian affairs of the Han people, mainly because he was the one who settled the trade agreement with the Song Dynasty.
Therefore, the Emperor of Daliao decided to let Xiao take on the important task after he came forward and gave a clear explanation.
However, in Gao Zhang's opinion, there is a high probability that the pillow wind blown by his sister Xiao Fengxian should be quite effective.
In addition, he, Xiao Fengxian, had already been appointed by Fan Lou to be capable managers in Nanjing, Xijing and other important cities in the Liao Kingdom.
An entertainment venue similar to the Happy Building has been built, and it has been very popular among the local dignitaries and wealthy businessmen of the Liao Kingdom.
They all feel that this method is definitely the first of its kind in the entertainment and bathing industry.
What's more, the clock he dedicated to the Emperor of Liao Dynasty has become the beloved object of the Emperor of Liao Dynasty.
As the saying goes, what goes before brings about results, and those clocks that were later shipped to Liaodi were also auctioned in entertainment venues, and the prices were also extremely beautiful.
Although he, Mr. Xiao, did not specify how much money he made, the words in this letter were full of gratitude and appreciation for Gao Zhang, a young man who was only eleven years old.
Moreover, he specially asked a messenger to deliver two fine Persian horses to Gao Zhang, as a token of his gratitude.
Of course, Xiao Fengxian also told Gao Zhang another piece of news, that is, the despicable villain Li Qianshun, the leader of the Xixia Kingdom.
Another envoy was sent to the Liao Dynasty. The important point is that the Xixia envoy sent this time actually had the nerve to propose marriage to the Emperor of Liao.
Naturally, he, Xiao Fengxian, argued his interests in front of the Emperor of Daliao and persuaded the Emperor of Daliao to give up his request for marriage with Xixia.
In the end, Yelu Yanxi, the emperor of the Liao Kingdom, did not even see the Xixia envoy in person and drove the Xixia envoy away.
The biggest contribution here naturally comes from Xiao Fengxian.
This letter is filled with the vulgar feeling of selling melons and boasting about oneself.
It was as if he had just come to serve as an envoy to the Song Dynasty, and he had already become a prominent figure in the Liao Kingdom.
Gao Zhang believed at most half of the contents of Xiao Fengxian's letter. After all, nowadays, there are agents from the Imperial City Department of the Song Dynasty operating in both Nanjing and Xijing.
Although their current scope of activities are all in the entertainment and bathing industry places in the two capitals of the Liao Kingdom.
However, the intelligence that can be obtained from these places definitely contains a lot of useful information, and there are even some contradictions and conflicts between Liao ministers.
There are also some secrets of Liao officials and workers, which will be inadvertently revealed in the mouths of those important Liao officials who come to consume.
A lot of information of important value has begun to flow into the Imperial City Department of the Song Dynasty through these channels.
This was what Zhao Aban told Gao Zhang. After all, it was Gao Zhang who told Zhao Aban if he was interested in sending some capable spies to join the team going north.
Naturally, Gao Zhang also responded with a passionate letter to this brother with a different surname, in which he expressed his hope that this brother with a different surname would be able to flourish in the Liao Kingdom, and that his great career was finally beginning to take shape.
I hope that Xiao Fengxian can continue his efforts and use the energy of his subordinates to seize more entertainment and bathing industry markets in important cities in the Liao Kingdom as soon as possible and crack the first bone.
Don't worry if you lack professional technicians there, little brother, I can send you a group of people who have received professional training from the Imperial City Division and have high professional ethics.
I believe that in the not-too-distant future, the Imperial City Division of the Song Dynasty, a special espionage agency, will be able to grow and prosper on the land of the Liao Kingdom under your extreme expansion.
Maybe in the future, you will be able to know exactly how many important officials of your Liao Kingdom, how many concubines they married, who bribes they took, and what bad things they did.
Of course, some of this information can even be provided to Xiao Fengxian so that he can eliminate dissidents and suppress his opponents.
Of course, Gao Zhang thought so, but the letters naturally required artistic processing.
Everything is for the sake of your future, brother, for your business, and for your career.
All in all, Gao Zhang believed that after Xiao Fengxian received his own handwritten letter.
He will definitely be moved to tears and wish he could send two more Persian horses to express his love for his brother. Although he is thousands of miles away, he still cares about the work and life of his brother with a different surname.
Of course, since the other party sent a generous gift, how could Gao Zhang not return the gift? After writing the reply, he did not immediately hand it to the messenger who came.
Instead, someone sent the messenger, who had traveled so hard, to the Happy Building to have a good rest.
Gao Zhang went straight to Xue's Glass Workshop and met Xue Da, the person in charge of Xue's Glass Workshop.
#####
He looked at Xue Da, who was almost fifty kilograms fatter than when he first met. His face was rosy and he looked quite energetic.
And Xue Da carefully held the glass vase that came to him with both hands. Gao Zhang's eyes suddenly lit up.
This is a pure green glass flask without any impurities. The lower end of the bottle is round and spherical, but the bottom is flat.
The slender neck at the top of the bottle is almost a foot long, and is also equipped with two bottle ears.
The shape of the entire glass bottle is so beautiful and elegant that it is definitely comparable to a work of art.
In addition, there is a solid glass statue of Guanyin on the side, and this glass statue of Guanyin is completely pure and transparent, as exquisite and clear as crystal.
"Well done, thank you for your hard work."
Gao Zhang looked at these two works and was quite satisfied. He handed these two treasures to the people around him and asked them to pad them with cotton and seal them carefully.
Then I continued to look at the collection in the glass product sample museum.
