Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 568 The right to know Hangzhou military affairs 14
He once heard from his father that Wu Min once commented on Wang Xiu as being good at listening, planning, and making decisions. He is very purposeful and compromising. He couldn't help but greet the female ancestors of the Han family.However, he still had a tinge of joy, Han Xuanzhou didn't know the heights of heaven and earth, and dared to confront Wang Xiu, even if he returned to the furnace, it would be nothing to do with the Han family.

Wang Xiu frowned slightly, not to mention that Han Xiaozhou served in the imperial court, and even Zhang Qiyuan did not leave the Han family. It can be seen that this family must not be disrespectful, at least not openly torn face, he said very gently: "If the government bids, if it is decided on the spot, It's noisy like a busy city, where is the elegance?"

Han Xuanzhou was not afraid, and said loudly: "The amount of money and food is written on paper and read on the spot. Who dares to make noise?"

Wang Xiu is quite interested, it's interesting!He is a scholar of Guanwendian University, and he said he was right on Liangzhe Road. It was a bit surprising that Han Xuanzhou dared to question him face to face in public.Thinking of Zhang Qiyuan, he couldn't help feeling vigilant, he must not be impulsive at this time, and let others have more excuses to attack him.

Of course, there is no lack of Han Xuanzhou's purpose of grandstanding and raising his own reputation, but this possibility is compared with the huge benefits, unless he is a fool, he will never abandon the possible benefits.

Wang Ang looked on coldly. He was not very willing to run salt and tea privately. If it was not for the people, he would have flatly rejected it. It is a bit of fun to see that there is a Han family who openly contradicts Wang Xiu, but he can watch from the sidelines.

Fei Su hated Han Xuanzhou's arrogance, and said sharply, "The government has its own system for doing things. Renting salt and tea is not something that one person decides to do. You are clearly questioning the court."

He was not polite, and directly positioned Han Xuanzhou against the court. Once it was true, it would be a situation of "I am the fish, and the man is the sword", and even the Han family could not save it.

In fact, Wang Xiu really overestimated Han Xuanzhou. This guy is experienced in traveling all over the world. Although he is greedy for great benefits, he also understands the filthiness of Wang Xiu and Zhang Qiyuan, which means that his chances of winning the championship are very low.Since you can't eat meat, let's take advantage of the number of people to gain a good reputation and plan for future business. Anyway, with Zhang Qiyuan and Han Xiaozhou in the court, even if he blatantly contradicts him, Wang Xiu can't do anything to him.

After all, the Han family is not easy to mess with. Wang Xiu would never do anything to him in the face of not tearing his face. Unexpectedly, Fei Su led him to fight against the court.

Wu Xuan smiled gloatingly, Han Xuanzhou was ignorant of current affairs, and wanted to make money from Wang Xiu in a whimsical way.

"Merchants from all over the world are gathering today, and I don't want to make it difficult for you. If you want to bid, please sit down and follow the rules." Wang Xiu didn't want to force Han Xuanzhou too much, offend the Han family for nothing, and didn't want the merchants to feel afraid , Broken my original intention, the best way to deal with villains is not to punish them on the spot, but to ignore them directly.

When Han Xuanzhou saw Wang Xiu, he didn't care at all. What he said was righteousness that could not be refuted. The hostile gazes of the businessmen on both sides made him feel anxious for a while. ,
Wu Xuan was scornful in his heart, but said softly: "Brother Daoshan, Wang Xianggong is another easy-going generation. His students are so powerful, so it's better to be more responsible."

Han Xuanzhou's eyes were complicated, he wanted to show off, but in the end he was ashamed and Wu Xuan saw the joke, so he couldn't swallow anything.

"Oh, there is something else I want to say to overseas merchants. I have heard for a long time that black clothes are big food, and Byzantium is a big country, and its product civilization is comparable to that of China. I wonder how many people here are from the two countries?"

Wang Ang couldn't help frowning.He always thought that the Great Song Dynasty was superior and the rest were barbarians. Wang Xiu actually praised Dashi and Byzantium, and even sublimated to the same status as the Great Song Dynasty.

Even Zong Liang, Liu Renfeng, Fei Su and others didn't take it seriously. Although they were taught by Wang Xiu that there is a civilized and prosperous country in a place beyond the square, they have never seen it with their own eyes after all. , The incomplete impression is still the mentality of the kingdom of heaven.

Many people in the audience stood up. Wang Xiu praised their country, and he was also very face-saving. His favor towards Wang Xiu doubled. It was inevitable that businessmen from other countries would not be fair, and they were a little noisy for a while.

Wang Xiu motioned for them to sit down, then smiled and said, "I've been very interested in countries outside the region since I started my studies. I know that Byzantium is the eastern territory that was divided by the Qin Dynasty. Byzantium is unique. And there were several caliphs who advocated culture and education, compiled and compiled all kinds of academics of the barbarians in the far west, and the national power was prosperous for a while."

"I can't remember the titles of these books very clearly. I vaguely remember the works of some great sages in the far west, such as Plato, Aristotle, and Archimedes. I deeply believe that although the Chinese civilization is the first among all nations and has a long history, it also has many shortcomings. Departments, such as philosophy, arithmetic, logic, etc., who can talk about the works of these great sages?"

Quite a few well-informed Byzantine, Dashi, Jewish, and Venetian merchants nodded their heads, but almost all of them were merchants, and there were not many who knew the works of famous masters in their own countries.

A middle-aged businessman got up and said in Jiasheng's Kaifeng official language: "Dear Your Excellency, I can answer your question."

Consul, the standard Byzantine name for a minister in power, Wang Xiu smiled lightly, and raised her hand to let him continue.

"Aristotle is a Sgitara native of Greece. His works include "Approaches", "Metaphysics", and "Politics"; Archimedes was a nobleman of the Syracuse Kingdom during the Roman Republic, and he was a great scholar. Mechanist, he wrote "On the Sphere and Cylinder", "Measurement of the Circle", "The Quadrature of the Parabola", "On the Spiral", "On the Cone and the Sphere", "On the Equilibrium of the Circular", "On the Floating Body", "On the Lever ", "Principle" and so on, but it is a pity that Archimedes was killed by Roman soldiers when the Kingdom of Syracuse fell."

The corners of Wang Xiu's mouth twitched slightly. He didn't expect that a mere businessman would name two famous western masters and almost all their famous works. He had to look at these people with admiration.Wen Sheng said: "Dare to ask Your Excellency, why did you travel across the ocean to China?"

The middle-aged businessman didn't care about the jealous gaze, flattered and said: "I am a Byzantine nobleman, but unfortunately my branch has declined and I have to come to the East to make a living."

"Okay! The sea is an endless storehouse of grain, and a wise person who can travel across the ocean is a wise person. Dare I ask Gao's name?" Wang Xiu said, getting up and walking to the front of the stage, smiling gently.
