The roots of Xu Xiao's ears were slightly red, but his expression was extremely calm and his demeanor was very calm.
Moreover, his deep eyes really looked particularly affectionate when he looked at people. He said: "My mother made it for Xiaguan's nephew to play with. Xiaguan also found it interesting. He just came up with this idea and summoned him."
An embroiderer, he opened this shop."
Tang Shijin nodded and said, "I ordered a few things. You can help me bring them to the palace tomorrow."
Xu Xiaorang was stunned, crossed his hands and said: "Yes, I will obey your orders."
Tang Shijin hugged his son and left.
Only then did Xu's mother come over and said anxiously: "Erlang, this...are we in trouble?"
"Nothing," Xu Xiaorang said calmly: "Don't worry, the prince is not a stingy person. If we make a difference, she will only be happy and will never suppress us."
Xu's mother said, "But didn't you still scold other people's apprentices?"
"I wasn't scolding..." Xu Xiaorang couldn't explain clearly, so he simply said: "Anyway, it's okay, don't worry."
But he couldn't guess what Tang Shijin meant when he asked him to come over, so after the gadget was finished, he went to the palace to ask for a meeting.
In fact, Tang Shijin just felt that his appearance was quite suitable for dealing with people like Martin Derada.
Because people always subconsciously like people with similar looks. For example, many Chinese people like Wai Guoren, who is actually not the most handsome in his country. Foreigners like people with clearer and tougher facial features. Among men, he is Xu Xiaoyang.
Such a look.
She had met Martin Drada once. He had black hair and black eyes. He didn't look like a foreigner at first glance, but his eye sockets were very deep, his facial features were three-dimensional, and his skin was a slightly dark wheat color.
Xu Xiaorang looks more like a foreigner than him.
Tang Shijin took the things and chatted with him for a while.
Xu Xiaorang reacted quickly and was courageous. She thought he was pretty good, so she said to him directly: "I heard that you have been taking part in lotus root?"
Xu Xiaorang lowered his eyes and said, "Yes." He seemed to hesitate for a moment, and looked up at her: "Tang Liansheng had a close relationship with a group of foreigners. This is not appropriate at all. I have a clear conscience."
Tang Shijin said: "Then tell me, what's wrong with it?"
Xu Xiaorang said: "Those who are not of my race must have different minds. I think it is inappropriate to allow foreigners to wander in the hinterland of our capital and make friends with courtiers and dignitaries at will; and Tang Liansheng is the prince's disciple, and the prince's family is
During the National Games of Daqing, Tang Liansheng's work is not his alone, and should be considered more by the prince."
He paused for a moment: "I have carefully observed that these foreigners come here mostly to promote their gods. Most of the people are illiterate and unreasonable. It is really difficult to predict what will happen if they are deceived...
"
Tang Shijin said: "So, you think Liansheng's trip is an irresponsible and willful act? Then how do you think it should be handled?"
Xu Xiaoyang said without hesitation: "These people should be expelled from our Daqing territory."
Tang Shijin was noncommittal, paused, and then said: "Then, would you like to go and see for yourself what Liansheng is doing?"
Xu Xiaorang was stunned.
He was already alert and quickly noticed something: "What do you mean, Your Majesty?"
Tang Shijin said: "You can only win a hundred battles if you know the enemy. Learning from the barbarians and using their skills to control them is the only way to win. It is easy to drive them away, but who knows that they will grow up in places where we can't see them?"
What does it look like? This is not safe."
Xu Xiaorang looked at her with surprise and uncertainty.
After a while he said: "I would like to go and see what Tang Liansheng is doing."
Tang Shijin said sternly: "This matter involves secrets. This is not for casual viewing. If you want to see it, you can, just join them and you can see it."
Xu Xiaorang hesitated for a moment.
He looked at her again, then he made up his mind and solemnly saluted: "I am willing."
Tang Shijin took him to the General Police Factory and Tang Liansheng's "office".
Tang Liansheng was doing serious business, important national affairs, and he couldn't always use people with long eyes and flying ears. Therefore, after briefly contacting them for a period of time and knowing that the country really needed to pay attention to these people, he selected a few people to do these things specifically.
Changmu Feierlou is also doing it, but it belongs to two groups of people.
But for fear of being discovered by them, no department was officially established.
Tang Shijin asked Tang Liansheng to bring over a confidentiality letter and said to him: "After you come in, you can't regret it. You should think it over carefully."
Xu Xiaorang frowned and saw Tang Liansheng sitting by the window drinking tea, looking like he was watching a good show. Others had joking faces, and one person said: "Master Xu, please don't come. If you come, you will be scolded."
of!"
Xu Xiaorang's mind was made up, he picked up the pen, signed, and took his fingerprints.
Tang Liansheng smiled and said: "Welcome Xu Tongnian aboard."
He threw a brochure to him: "Let's take a look."
Xu Xiaorang opened it, and there were compiled information on it, including the approximate location of each country, the approximate size of its land area, who is in power, how they are in power, what products are in the country...etc., it is very fragmentary and detailed.
For example, Luzon, which has always been considered a small country, is actually one-third the size of the Daqing Dynasty. It is rich in gold and has various rich products. I only know its name, but I don't know what it is.
For example, Thailand, France, etc. There is more or less information, and the countries are large and small, but the only thing that is the same is that they are not simple, and they are by no means the uncivilized land that the Chinese people imagine.
Xu Xiaorang's face felt extremely hot for a moment.
He had been chasing Tang Liansheng for so long and had always despised him, but he never expected that he was the one who made Yelang arrogant.
Tang Shijin left them to adjust on their own and then returned to the palace.
Tang Liansheng and the others had done a lot of work in the past few months and had almost learned the languages of various countries. They were ready to find a suitable opportunity and sent envoys to have a look on the spot.
There are also political considerations in this matter. Yan Baiwei is mainly responsible for controlling the progress, while Tang Shijin himself has little control.
The work she needs to do is later. Only when the envoys get a feel for the situation, or when Wei Shilei's merchant ship is built, can she send merchants there... Those extra-fired porcelains are just for them.
Just give them beautiful things like silk, porcelain, jewelry, etc. and see if you can exchange them for something useful.
After February 2, the weather is getting warmer, and all the accounts for the New Year holiday have been collected.
Tang Shijin went to the Finance Pavilion for a meeting with his son who couldn't tear it off.
The official robes of Daqing are red. Because it is a national mourning, everyone in the palace wears relatively plain clothes. When I come out and see the celebrities one after another, the little guy can’t see clearly enough. He shakes his little arms and points from time to time.
"ah!"
As soon as Tang Shijin saw Yuan Langxian, he gave the child to him and said, "Take it away quickly and let me calm down."
Yuan Langxian saw the child during the Chinese New Year and took it over with a smile.
