Lord Moyu was forced to open

Jianjiang.

The ruins of Haining Village.

Black ashes were spread all over the once bustling village, and the usually hardworking villagers became pools of ashes, blending into the ashes.

At the original entrance of Haining Village, Li Erniu brought a team of people and came here silently with white flags.

Soon, a bill and an altar were set up, and the heads of twenty-eight Red Barbarians were placed on the altar together with other tributes. As for the other Red Barbarians, they became food for the sharks and therefore no heads were left.

A group of Taoist priests, accompanied by a Taoist priest in a red robe, came hurriedly along the official road.

"Mr. Li!"

The leading red-robed Taoist priest bowed to Li Erniu as soon as he arrived.

Li Erniu nodded: "Master Yuanyang, I will trouble you next."

The red-robed old Taoist priest called Yuanyang Zhenren quickly waved his hands and said, "Mr. Li, that's too serious. This Haining Village... well... it's just my job."

After saying that, Yuan Yang shook his head and walked to the bill board to start preparing. Soon everything was ready, and as the memorial service began, bursts of chanting sounded in the Haining Village.

"The soul is back..."

……

In Bian Jing, two days later, Zhao Jun received a report from Li Erniu.

After confirming that all the Red Barbarians who had taken action were killed, Zhao Jun's anger finally subsided a little.

As for the fact that the head was not sent back to the capital, he didn't care much about it. He believed that Li Erniu would not dare to deceive him on this matter.

Let’s leave the heads of those red barbarian bandits in Haining Village as sacrifices.

After closing the memorial, Zhao Jun turned to ask Wang Huai'en, "Has the court received any news? Have the European countries responded to the questions raised by our Song Dynasty?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Huai'en immediately said:
“Your Majesty, not long ago, the Minister of Rites received a response from Great Britain. Great Britain expressed deep regret for the attack on the territory of our Great Song Dynasty, and solemnly stated that this matter has nothing to do with them, Great Britain.

The other countries mostly gave similar responses.”

Zhao Jun narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "They refuse to admit it. What about France? According to Li Erniu's interrogation, it was France that hired this gang of robbers.

And it was the French and Spanish countries who led the East China Sea Fleet away in the first place."

Wang Huai'en smiled bitterly and shook his head:

"France and Spain responded directly that they knew nothing about it and that it had nothing to do with France and Spain.

In addition, they also announced that they would impose additional tariffs on goods from our Song Dynasty entering France and Spain.

After France and Spain, other European countries have also made similar statements.”

"Great Britain?"

Zhao Jun asked again.

Wang Huai'en shook his head: "I haven't received any similar news yet."

Zhao Jun frowned, she felt a little strange.

As far as he knew, Europe had always been headed by Great Britain.

The current situation seems like France and Spain are leading other European countries to cause trouble against the Song Dynasty, but Great Britain, which has always been a troublemaker in Europe, is quiet and uncharacteristically Great Britain!
He didn't even get involved in these things in Europe!
This is very wrong!
Zhao Jun fell into deep thought.

……

What Zhao Jun didn't know was that at this time in Europe, Great Britain's behavior had also caused dissatisfaction among other countries.

The French and Spanish envoys even rushed directly to the Prime Minister's Office of Great Britain and questioned Qiu Jier with a group of other people:
"Chucky! What do you Britons mean by this?
We clearly agreed to raise tariffs together, why haven't you in Great Britain made any moves yet?"

Hu~hu~
The flame on the cigar flickered. Qiu Jier took a deep breath and blew out all the smoke from the cigar. Then he stood up with the cigar in one hand and the walking stick in the other and said:
“Don’t worry, Great Britain will not betray you.

We are different from you. Great Britain has many overseas colonies, and there are many things to consider when adjusting tariffs. We need time to make adjustments before we can impose tariffs. But you can rest assured that Great Britain will not betray Europe, we will just be a little later. "

"Damn you, Qiu Jier, don't try to fool us with that!

You in Great Britain took advantage of the time when we raised tariffs and took all the Song Dynasty goods coming to Europe into your hands.

Now all Song people around the world know that you in Europe are the only ones who have not imposed tariffs on Song goods. So all of them have come to Great Britain with their goods. Our French country has lost a full ten tons of sugar imports this month!

All taken by you Great Britain!

Isn't this a betrayal to the whole of Europe?"

Other countries also shouted: "Damn Great Britain! You are clearly taking advantage of the opportunity to make money when we sacrifice our own interests for the whole of Europe!

You are damaging the profits of the whole of Europe!
You in Great Britain must raise tariffs immediately!"

"Yes! Increase tariffs immediately!"

……

Everyone expressed their dissatisfaction, but Qiu Jier listened to it all calmly. When their voices gradually died down, he said:

"Ok gentlemen, as you wish, we Great Britain will issue a statement immediately to increase tariffs. Are you satisfied with this?"

Just as he was about to continue scolding the French and Spanish envoys from Great Britain for being unwarlike, his words suddenly got stuck in his throat and he couldn't utter a word.

It was like being interrupted when I was about to do something, and I felt uncomfortable all over.

In his opinion, shouldn't Great Britain be quibbling and delaying at this time?
You have to know that in the current situation in Europe, every day Great Britain delays, they can gain countless benefits.

How could you agree so easily?

This is wrong!
This is not like the style of these European troublemakers!

Could it be that this damn fat guy took the wrong medicine today?

A grand questioning ended in a whimper when the French and Spanish envoys and other envoys from other countries left the British Prime Minister's Office.

Qiu Jier's assistant hurried forward and said, "Prime Minister, I will notify the tax department to issue a statement."

However, Qiu Jier looked at him strangely and asked, "Why are you doing this?"

The assistant was stunned and stammered, "But Prime Minister, didn't you just promise the envoys from other countries?"

Qiu Jier put the cigar back in his mouth, took a puff and exhaled the smoke before saying:

"Who said we have to do it if we agree to it? I didn't sign a contract with them.

This is the time when we in Great Britain are making a lot of money. How could we possibly cut off our own financial resources?

For the next few days, I went home to recuperate because I was not feeling well and did not see anyone.

As for the issue of imposing additional tariffs, the great Queen has given me full authority to deal with it, and no one else has the right to decide.

If they come again, tell them to wait until I recover.

Also notify the customs and ask them to work harder to collect more supplies for me!
When we have made enough money, we will still have to impose tariffs. By then, these stockpiled materials will be the wealth and confidence of Great Britain.

Let us, gentlemen, reserve more of our confidence and wealth!"

The assistant nodded blankly and agreed.

It seemed as if he had only truly gotten to know his own Prime Minister today.

My brain can hardly keep up with the thinking of my own Prime Minister!
Can this thing still be done this way?

Isn’t this a bit too shameless?
But… I feel so good to be a Great British!
