I became the son of Renzong

Chapter 289

This statement is indeed reasonable, and it has been fulfilled.

"Officials, just as His Highness said, the Imperial City Secretary has arrested more than [-] people who intend to spy on the affairs of the workshop city. There are all Liao and Xia secret works."

Uh...Zhao Xi was sure that old Chen Lin didn't know about her plan. Could it be that Liao Xia really cooperated so much?

There is only one thing, and that is that Fu Bi knew that the firearm was being spied on.

This should have been expected, and Zhao Xi did take precautions.

For example, those involved in the manufacture of firearms must live in the workshop city, and they must go together every time they enter Bianliang, and even implement the policy of sitting together in each team.

It's just that the tight defense line outside the workshop city prevents the craftsmen from entering the workshop city, and can only do it when the craftsmen enter Bianliang.

In this regard, old Chen Lin did a very good job and deserves praise.

To be able to directly lock the secret work without the knowledge of the craftsmen in the workshop city... This requires a lot of preliminary work.

This can be regarded as saying hello to the old man, and the old man doesn't seem to be very worried...

Zhao Xi didn't say much?Maybe Fu Bi said too much, and it should be part of Zhao Xi's words into his analysis, so as to embolden the old man.

Next, Han Qi returned to the court and presided over the East and West Mansions with Fu Bi.

Zhang Fangping knew Qinzhou... a very upright old man, Zhao Xi couldn't even remember where he had been wandering around in the past few years.

However, every time there is something to make money, he will tell Lu Gong to remember Zhang Fangping, and he is the first old fox-style courtier that Zhao Xi has come into contact with since he became an adult.

Han Jiang took office in Jingzhao Mansion, Lu Gongbi went to Hedong Road, Wang Su was the transfer envoy of Shaanxi Road, and even Yu Jing was transferred back from Guangnan to serve as the transfer envoy of Hedong Road.

As far as the official system of the country is concerned, Zhao Xi still hasn't figured it out.

The dazzling personnel changes of Lao Die and Fu Bi, Zhao Xi understands that this is preparation before the war.But to outsiders, it is impossible to understand whether they have been promoted or demoted.

The official system of Guochao, which separates officials, ranks, and dispatches, probably made the entire court dizzy.

Even the official himself probably only knows his official position and dispatch, and what level of person should hold what position... There seems to be no specific rules.

Well, I admit it's just that I don't understand it, it's too complicated.

Once enthroned, this official system must be changed.Don't let the people below engage in selfish fraud, you're so stupid that you don't know it at all.

After this dazzling change, it was already early autumn when everyone arrived and was ready.

This year, the entire country is thriving. Although it is not the end of the year, we can already see how rich the court is this year.

It was supposed to be a troubled time, but at this time, foreign envoys came, and Liao and Xia came one after another... This has become a troubled time.

The matter of receiving foreign envoys... that is, the errand of accompanying envoys, is not a major matter, it is just a casual decision of the husbands.

Zhao Xi didn't pay attention to this either.

It seems that since the little emperor of Xixia, named Li Liangzuo, came to power, there have been more and more envoys.

Even if you change your surname to Li, you have to say hello to Chaotang.

Don't think that this grandson wants to surrender.At the same time as the envoys came and went, the harassment of the frontier has never stopped.

He really competed with his father, purely contradictory.

It's just that Beiliao...why join in the fun?
"The envoys of the Liao and Xia all asked for an increase in the yearly gift due to the large amount of barter from the country and the court in the market."

This... Zhao Xi understands, it means trade deficit.

If you didn't make any money from the market transaction, you simply came to ask for it.It's quite shameless, even more shameless than some powerful countries in later generations.

The problem is that people dare to be so shameless.But when it was mentioned in the court, no one thought it was an insult, but they were complacent.

Yes, it's time to be complacent!
Don't look at sending some old gifts every year, don't you have to return to the country in the end?

It is also for this reason that the scholar-bureaucrats in the Manchaotang think that Suici...is the same thing.

No one thought that even if there was no so-called Sui Ci, as long as the market was open, the merchants of the Kingdom would also be able to earn back that money.

Zhao Xi didn't listen to the following discussion at all, dirty ears!

This is a matter of teeth grinding, and it cannot be settled in one or two court meetings.

It can be regarded as asking for a lot of money, and the next step is to bargain... It's ashamed to say it, people came to forcefully demand molestation, and there were serious discussions in the courtroom!

When encountering this situation, what you should really do is: throw the big-eared photon over and shout: Fuck you!
It's a pity that Guochao didn't do this.

About five or six days have passed, five or six days have passed in the morning.Zhao Xi really didn't know how long Liaoxia's envoys had asked for.

Liaoxia's real purpose was finally revealed.

Asked Guochao to contribute the craftsmanship of the musket... This request, Guochao's embassy unexpectedly passed it back.

"Change the embassy escort..."

Is this a statement?It should count.

When the envoy made the request, the accompanying envoy did not refuse on the spot, but the court directly replaced the accompanying envoy.This should be regarded as a statement, but it is a bit too euphemistic...

In this matter, it seems that Guochao seems to be playing...

With the replacement of the escort, all negotiations have to start again.

It will be a month or so, and Zhao Xi didn't really care about it, all his mind was on preparing for this big battle.

I have to be careful. Over the years of confrontation between Guochao and Xixia, Guochao has developed Xiaphobia in Guochao... It should be said that warphobia is more suitable, and I am afraid of fighting anyone.

This time, Zhao Xi wanted to take the lead by himself, and wanted to use this battle to arouse the long-suppressed ambition of the kingdom.Therefore, it must be won!

The improvement of military equipment and the rotation training of soldiers still cannot make Zhao Xi feel at ease.

After all, he didn't know much about legion warfare in this era, and he was even more unfamiliar with cavalry... Annan's so-called cavalry was insignificant, and that kind of combat method was not suitable for fighting against the Western Army.

Therefore, he was very cautious, and spent all his free time in the guard camp, allowing Di Qing, Zhong Yi, Zhe Ke, and all the guard battalion soldiers from the Western Army to make a sand table model of the entire border with Xixia based on their impressions and memories.

It was another time when Zhao Xi felt that the Liao Xia envoy had been in the court for a month.

I feel like I'm here to mess around...

"Your Majesty, the envoy of Liaoxia Zhengdan proposed that if the imperial court and Liaoxia refer to the wool textile formula and technology, Liaoxia can reduce the original yearly gift by [-]%!"

Whoops!This... Should I say that the companion is smart, or just define it as a stupid pig?

To put it bluntly, he actually knew how to propose it in the early court, so as to win as many alliances as possible.

Let's say he's smart, but he's actually a fool... It's estimated that there are quite a few courtiers and courtiers like this.

"Your Majesty, all the ministers and workers, shepherding sheep is not the official business of the people of the country, but because of the purchase of wool, the country's coins flowed out. Now, Liaoxia has this request, and it can reduce the yearly gift. I think it can be discussed!"

Look, there really is such a stupidity...

Zhao Xi didn't say a word, Zhao Xi really couldn't arouse the interest of arguing with this kind of people.
