Chapter 295: Li Duo was shocked, what he saw in the market
Although it is only a small pool, it covers an area of hundreds of acres. In addition, there are scattered islands and jungles, so there is no end in sight.
"Sir, I took a look around Xihuatan. Not only is it huge in area, but it also has the characteristics of Jiangnan. It seems that the Jin people have paid great attention to it this time." Li Duo's voice came from behind Shen Tang. .
Shen Tang smiled and said, "Haha... If you show courtesy for nothing, you are either a traitor or a thief. This sentence is also suitable for the golden people."
Li Duo smiled silently. This Lord was indeed different from the others. There were many people in high positions in the court who treated the Jin people like tigers and wolves, but this Lord Shen, along the way, had never seen him before. He is slightly afraid of or partial to the Kingdom of Jin.
However, this gentleman's idea is a bit extreme. I don't know if the conditions he proposed are approved by the Holy Spirit. Although they are good, if they anger the Jin Kingdom, it will be a big bad thing.
After thinking for a moment, Li Duo said again: "My lord, as usual, we are on a mission to the Kingdom of Jin. Now that we have arrived in Zhongdu, your lord needs to visit the dignitaries in their court. I made a list last night , please take a look at it. I have prepared all the gifts that need to be given to each family."
Shen Tang reached out to take the list from Li Duo's hand, and saw that there were at least twenty or thirty names on it. After these names, there were notes about official positions and even some preferences. It was obvious that Li Duo had done his homework extremely well.
This list ranges from the first and second-rank officials of the Jin Kingdom to the key petty officials. It is almost a small list of the names above the Jin Kingdom's court.
"Master Li, what kind of practice are you talking about?"
Li Duo was slightly startled, "Mr. Shen, this is why our Song Dynasty envoy went to the Jin Kingdom. Firstly, it was to make them have some goodwill toward our Song Dynasty. Secondly, during the peace talks, I hope that they They can be biased. They don’t necessarily have to go against their emperor’s opinions. They just need to be able to say something for us at the critical moment. Furthermore, the King of Hell is easy to meet, but the devil is difficult to deal with. It will not be easy for them to succeed, but It’s not difficult to destroy something…”
"Routine, routine!" Shen Tang sighed quietly.
"Master Li, after following this practice, did the previous missions achieve their goals? Did these people change their impressions of the Song Dynasty, or did they show mercy to the Song Dynasty mission during the peace talks? "
Li Duo was stunned by Shen Tang's question, and for a moment, it was difficult to regain his composure.
"Master Li, you have to know that this jackal will always be a jackal, and he will not be merciful to you just because you gave him a piece of meat. On the contrary, he will think that you are weak and can be bullied, even if he does not swallow you directly. , and will at least think about taking another piece of meat from you."
"Moreover, this time's peace talks are different from usual!"
"Let's keep this list for now. It will be of some use after all. In addition, I would like to tell all my colleagues that no matter who is hosting a banquet in the past few days, just go and accept any gift in return. Just treat it like me. Let me give you some rewards, we have traveled thousands of miles here, we always need to gain something, right?"
"this……"
Shen Tang's words stunned Li Duo. Those arrogant Jin people would give gifts to us little envoys? How is it possible?
"Okay, Mr. Li! Just do what I say. In addition, tell them that if there is any coercion or inducement, just call me directly. If there is any problem, I, Shen Tang, will make the decision for you. .”
"It took a lot of effort to come to Zhongdu City. I don't know how it is different from Lin'an of the Song Dynasty. I'm going to walk around in the streets. You can just go on your own." After saying that, Shen Tang ignored the stunned Li Duo and said After gathering a few guards and servants from the mansion, they left Xihuatan and headed towards the market.
The streets were extremely prosperous, and Jin people and Song people were mixed together. Although these Song people were somewhat in awe of the Jin people, there was harmony above the streets. The Jin State's policy of ruling the Song people also continued. During the changes. At the beginning, the people of Song Dynasty were completely slaughtered by the Jin people. Even the most ordinary Jin people only needed to pay some money after killing the people of Song Dynasty, and would not be sued for it. official.
The people of Song Dynasty were at the bottom of society. They could not control their own finances or lives.
In this way, although we knew that the Jin people were extremely powerful, they resisted under oppression. For a time, the rebels and rebellions of the Song people could be seen almost everywhere!
These rebels had no external support and no internal foundation for survival. Naturally, they could not succeed. It would not take long before they would be brutally slaughtered by the Jin army. However, as the territory of the Jin Kingdom gradually expanded, the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom suddenly realized I found that I had to find a way to solve this problem. Otherwise, I would not do anything else but send troops to attack the newly emerged rebels every day. Where would I have the time and energy to do other things?
Under this situation, the status of the Song people has been improved to a certain extent. Although the Jin people are still superior and their oppression of the Song people is still there, it makes them a little more fearful.
Although the Song people were relatively weak in combat power, they still inherited the intelligence and wisdom of China. Therefore, the Emperor of Jin discovered that as long as they could survive, they could create endless wealth for themselves. For these Song people, The wanton killing of people is almost the most shameful waste! Then, the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom issued an order prohibiting the Jin people from killing the Song people at will, and the people of the two races must live in harmony...
Of course, the Jin people are still Jin people, and the Song people are still slaves. But after this, at least their lives were guaranteed to a certain extent. Not to mention the dignitaries of the Jin Kingdom, at least, ordinary people The Jin people would not be able to draw their swords and kill the Song people at will, even in the streets, like before.
Especially in some larger and important cities, for the sake of stability, the implementation of this policy is a bit higher. For example, when Shen Tang passed by the name before, what he saw on the street was a bit like Wan Yan Hao's show, but Not entirely so.
Zhongdu is the imperial city of the Jin Kingdom. Naturally, it is impossible to allow too many uneasy factors to appear under the emperor's feet. Therefore, under the control of the imperial court, the life of the Song people has been greatly improved and guaranteed. Even if it is a casual The officials of the Jin Kingdom would not oppress the Song people in these markets at will. Of course, some things in the darkness are inevitable, but the Song people in Zhongdu are obviously extremely satisfied with their current life. .
