Chapter 499: No matter what the price, I beg Xixia to grow cotton (second update)
Yang Xiong looked at the dog in bewilderment, which after hearing the official's words, quickly waggled its tail to create a phantom.
"Ming Yue asked me to come. If there is something, please tell me to do it."
It was only then that the official put down his pen, raised his leg, touched the roaring dog's head, and said to Yang Xiong.
"I would like to ask the official for instructions."
"Little Gao Renqing has given me a good idea. He intends to use his skills to use those merchants who have dealt with Xixia to make Xixia abandon growing grain and grow cotton..."
When the official Zhao Ji said those words, Yang Xiong's heart skipped a beat. Sure enough, he was truly worthy of being the number one scholar. Even the official asked for help.
When Yang Xiong came to stand outside the palace gate, he thought about Mingyue Guan's explanation and couldn't help but feel refreshed.
It seems that my thinking yesterday was correct, and now the official's order told Yang Xiong Minghong that he not only wanted to do that matter well, but also wanted to do it beautifully.
I picked up my coat and was on the east steps when I heard another official playing with the dog outside the palace.
I seem to remember that my godfather once mentioned that the dog named Xiaotian was not donated by the Number One Scholar to the official family.
Even the champion's dog was so favored by the officials. At this moment, Yang Xiong was becoming more and more sure.
Hugging Zhuangyuan Gong's thick legs by myself was indeed the right choice.

Duan Zhongping had just gotten up and washed up when a steward rushed up to him with a worried look on his face and whispered a report.
It immediately scared the wealthy businessman from Tokyo who was having breakfast.
He hurried towards the door of the house. In a short time, he saw Zhao Abban, whom he had met several times before, dressed like a businessman, standing at the door of the house.
Next to him, there was a man with a thin build, a very red complexion, and three long beards on his face, who gave off a feminine aura no matter how you looked at him.
Duan Zhongping had barely arrived at the door, but his old face was already filled with a friendly smile.
"Oh, I was originally called Mr. Zhao. I'm so disrespectful. I didn't expect you, Mr. Zhao, to come over so early..."
"You're welcome, Mr. Duan, Mr. Zhao has taken the liberty to come here. Do you really have a request to discuss with Mr. Mr. Duan..."
Duan Zhongping immediately led Zhao Abban and the man with a feminine temperament towards the depths outside the mansion.
In a short time, he arrived at the side hall where he specially entertained guests. After entering the side hall, Duan Zhongping didn't have time to speak.
Then Zhao Abban said respectfully to the man next to him with three strands of long beard and a very feminine temperament.
"Master Duan, the person in charge of his Imperial City Department, the eunuch of the palace, Yang Xiong and Yang Douzhi."
After hearing that introduction, Duan Zhongping, who had already dealt with the Imperial City Secretary a lot, still turned red and trembled a little.
"Old man, I would like to ask my father-in-law for your instructions..."
"Master Duan, don't be afraid. Our family and Ru Erlang are old acquaintances, and we both serve Duke Zhuangyuan and the imperial court together."
"Does my Erlang know about this? Could you please ask my Erlang to come over too, so we can go east and have a chat."
Seeing that the eunuch of Wei Yuanzhong looked kind and kind-hearted, he seemed very kind even when he kept his mouth shut.
Duan Zhongping finally regained his breath and quickly sent someone to call Duan Erlang who had just returned.
Duan Erlang, who had been in contact with Yang Douzhi many times, was here and listened to Yang Douzhi's words.
In order to do what Duke Zhuangyuan ordered him to do, the Imperial City Division will continue to cooperate with Duan's Trading Company that time.
"No matter what the cost, just asking Xixia to devote more land to growing cotton will be a great achievement."
Facing the imperial city chief officer's tone, there was no hint of discussion.
Duan Zhongping's head was pounding wildly, and he even directly patted his chest and assured Yang Douzhi that he would try his best to do his best.
And that time when dealing with Xixia, he would personally go there to convince more Xixia bosses to plant cotton.
The two important figures of the Imperial City, Si No. 1 and No. 2, who had a very bad reputation, came to visit him side by side. How could he dare to hesitate?
Don't say that you are making less money than before. Even if you are not making money, you can still go for it.
Moreover, the two "personal followers" who once followed him, the Imperial City Secretary Gu Min and the Imperial City Secretary Caosi Dengda, will continue to follow him and go to Xixia together.
Then Duan Zhongping stayed at home and reunited with his second son for three days.
After that, he personally led a large-scale convoy and left Bianliang, Tokyo, heading straight for Xixia.
The target was the most important of the three military divisions he had dealt with before, which was the Weizhou Jingsai Military Division.
Weiming Yeguang, the envoy to the Song Dynasty originally went to the Song Dynasty with great pride.
I thought that that mission would be the most glorious moment of his life.
After all, he was under the order of the country's leader Li Qianshun, otherwise he would cooperate with the Liao envoys to take over the territory and population of Xixia from the Song Dynasty.
But it turned out that in an extremely bizarre turn of events, after arriving in the Song Dynasty, I didn't even see the envoys of the Liao Kingdom.
Do you want to ask again? After the Liao envoys went to the Song Dynasty, they actually failed to help Xixia acquire population and territory as agreed with Xixia.
Instead, he directly put aside Xixia's interests in Buqin, and instead negotiated with Dabo Huaiju for trade between the two countries.
But it was not easy for me to get help from the great merchant of the Song Dynasty, and I was able to escape from the sea of suffering and return to Xixia.
To be honest, I had been feeling very uneasy on my way back, fearing that I would not be able to complete the important tasks entrusted by the young king and would be punished.
After all, the young king of the country, Li Qianshun, was not a good guy, he was extremely cruel and cruel.
After watching his mother being poisoned by the Liao Kingdom, he flirted with the Liao Kingdom in a very funny way, which even caused the relationship between Xixia and the Liao Kingdom to heat up rapidly.
Only then did a major event occur, in which the Liao Kingdom agreed to help Xixia settle the Song Dynasty.
Could it be that after Wei Minye returned to Xixia in anxiety, he received a piece of news.
That's not the case. Not only did the Liao Kingdom reject Li Qianshun's marriage proposal, but Xixia's envoys were even expelled from the country without even being able to meet the Liao Emperor.
The trade that had always been maintained between Xixia and the Liao Kingdom was also actively cut off by the Liao Kingdom.
And not only that, the Liao envoy Xiao Fengxian who served as an envoy to the Song Dynasty even made bad remarks, believing that Xixia and the Song Dynasty colluded with the intention of harming the Liao Kingdom.
That series of news made Weina Yeguang feel shocked and angry, but also secretly happy.
He was furious that the Liao Kingdom could be so cruel and quarrelsome with Xixia.
It turns out that in that blink of an eye, he turned into a vicious stranger who wanted to kill Xixia.
As for the scumbag's actions, Taina Yeguang felt that even if he didn't, he wouldn't be able to do it so completely.
