Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 850 Merit
"Byzantines Uris and Brutus, the Han name is Wang Ji, and the style name is Anran."

When everyone heard this, their expressions were different, but they were nothing more than surprised.

Li Gang's complexion is very ugly. Could it be that there is no one in the court, and they even use seductive people to act as official business?Don't underestimate the official business, it is Prime Minister Quan Tong's official business in the South China Sea, which is equivalent to Wang Lun's deputy envoy, which is simply unacceptable.

It should be said that the mentality of the scholars of the Song Dynasty was tolerant, and it was all right to use barbarians as officials, but they were slowly being closed due to repeated humiliation by foreigners, let alone diplomatic relations with heavy responsibilities.

"Although Wang Ji is a man of color, but he has been in the South China Sea for many years, he is familiar with the languages ​​of several countries, and he is very familiar with court etiquette. He is a good candidate for envoy." True, but there are merits.

Sooner or later, the Song Dynasty will go out of the mainland. It is the right way to make the best use of everything and make the best use of people's talents. As long as the people of Fanbang have talents and characteristics, why not use them in the interests of the court?
Although it is impossible to completely guarantee the loyalty of the other party, a powerful empire is attractive in itself. As long as it is used properly, it can still attract people's hearts. What if it is a native?It's not the same when it's time to betray.

"Could it be that there is no one available in the imperial court, and they want to appoint outsiders?" Xu Han's face was ugly, and he immediately refuted.

Qin Hui also smacked his lips, and said displeasedly: "The imperial court has a precedent for sending barbarians to send envoys, but the army is alone overseas, and if it is not careful, it will lose everything, so we have to guard against it!"

Wang Xiu is very concerned about Qin Hui's attitude. There have been barbarians in the past dynasties, and quite a few people can accept it. It seems that they are far away from the mainland. If improper employment leads to diplomatic failure, no one can bear the consequences.

However, he had to fight again to persuade the ministers to accept his opinion.Of course, he will never appoint the so-called Tang envoys like the Tang Dynasty, and entrust Fusang's spies to be reused. All the people used must be selected and cannot touch core secrets.

"Your Majesty, my lords, it is true that Wang Ji is a Byzantine, but he mostly lives in the country. The silk country mentioned by the Yi people has long been his hometown. Besides, the betrayal of the ministers is not far or near, but thick and thin. I dare to ask you, all the dynasties and dynasties Needless to say, how many people in the country have joined the barbarians?"

Wang Xiu was not polite at all, and uncovered the scars of others, saying: "The reason why the party members have been able to dominate Hexi for a hundred years is due to the contribution of the scholars. Not to mention, it depends on the captives' invasion of the south, how many scholars and bureaucrats defected to the enemy, and how many generals there are." After betraying the country, half of the living people in Hebei are willing to change their hair and become bald."

"People's rebellion is just a thought away, and the family and country are strong and determined to forge ahead. Who would not want to make contributions and seal their wives and sons?"

"People who are not of my race must have a different heart!" Qin Hui is still not persuaded, and still disagrees with the use of sex to see people. His words come from his heart, and he is completely different from fighting for power and profit.

"The matter is very important, and we need to be cautious." Li Gang hesitated again and again. Wang Xiu's words were reasonable, but he was still worried about people chasing money and money.

As Xu Han said, how could the barbarians be allowed to assist in diplomatic relations when the army hangs alone overseas to fight?This is simply playing with tens of thousands of troops.

Wang Xiu couldn't help shaking her head and sighing, the book has its own golden house, and the book has its own thousand bell millet, isn't this just the benefit of money?Absorbing talents from all over the world is by no means a corner of China. If the Song Dynasty wants to continue and establish overseas territories, it is inevitable to use barbarians.

Since there are some things that must be done, why not explore slowly now, he hesitated a little, staring at Li Gang, and said: "What is the world?"

"Master Wang has something to say." Li Gang frowned slightly, and asked him such a simple truth, he really didn't want to answer.

"The world is owned by the Son of Heaven. The whole world is the land of the king, and the shores of the land are the subjects of the king. That is to say, Byzantium is a vassal of the Celestial Dynasty, and Wang Ji is also a subject of the Song Dynasty. It is the duty of the subjects to be loyal to the Celestial Dynasty. Besides, This person has lived in Hangzhou for a long time, and apart from his appearance, he is not like a citizen of the Celestial Dynasty." Wang Xiu brought out Yang Yang Zhong Hua to refute, but it was hard to argue.

Zhao Chen's face looked much better. Wang Xiu's words made him happy. No matter what he said, he was the son of heaven and the emperor of the world.As for the Jurchen, Dangxiang, and tribes in the grassland and the South China Sea who are constantly in dispute, he automatically filtered it out, and asked involuntarily, "I wonder if this person can be trusted?"

"This person has married a wife and had children, and has a big business on Liangzhe Road." The first point is not very convincing. Many barbarian merchants have concubines and children. There have been endless incidents of abandoning their wives for power and wealth.

The second point can be said to be something, it also depends on how big the business is, it is big enough to make people unable to give up.

"How much does this person earn?" Lu Hao asked without losing the opportunity, and he also grasped the key to the problem.

Wang Xiu pondered for a while, and said without hesitation: "There are several tea farms, and more than a hundred fertile farmlands. They are engaged in the silk and porcelain industry. It is better to expand his workshop."

Lu Haowen nodded slowly, and said calmly: "Since it is profitable, this person can still be trusted." He let go of two points of worry, the property has reached the point where it is attractive, and I believe Wang Ji himself has made up his mind.

"Could it be that others can't give him huge profits? How can such a mercenary villain take on important responsibilities." Xu Han asked his question, which was indeed universal.

Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants have a derogatory meaning. Since the Zhou Dynasty destroyed merchants, an important reason is that merchants do things with utilitarianism, and the concept of family and country is extremely thin. For huge benefits, they can even sell their families and countries .

This is not alarmist talk, but a story that has not been uncommon in the past dynasties. The Huns in the Han Dynasty repeatedly invaded the frontiers, and the merchants in the borderlands returned to Yiyi.

Wang Xiu was also very helpless. He once put forward the theory of triple profit. Triple profit is enough to make businessmen trample on everything. It is understandable for others to doubt it.If Wang Ji was given enough benefits, it would be easy to say who this guy is, because he left his hometown in the first place to seek wealth.

However, what he cares more about is not suspicion, but a deep guard against alien races, which eventually develops into hysteria. This is not impossible, but a reality.

The situation of the founding of the Song Dynasty was unfavorable, and the nomadic people developed to semi-nomadic, and they already had land awareness.Following the failure of the imperial court's several expansions, the country's land area was narrow and narrow, and it could not be compared with the Han and Tang Dynasties.

Khitan has been suppressed for a hundred years, and then the Jurchen's hurricane, the suppressed Song regime was out of breath, and the morale of the scholars was constantly changing. Confucianism finally had a suitable living soil. In addition to having an open heart, the thinking of scholars is becoming more and more serious. Rigid.
