"Hey, I said you don't understand me?" The official cursed, "I tell you, I am following the order of Mr. Qian to bring distinguished guests to the Beijing Miansheng. It's a Miansheng. Do you understand? "

As soon as he said this, Zhao Ning and Wang Zonglin outside the crowd all looked at Qian Yuqing at the same time.

Qian Yuqing said: "The big cannibals I mentioned last time, who want to do business in the Celestial Dynasty, have already booked a business of 300 million yuan."

Zhao Ning also promised this matter that he could be recruited by an honorary official position.

Zhao Ning didn't speak, he continued to look over there.

Zheng Xi asked those yamen servants to take the injured mother and son aside. He walked up to the official's horse and said, "Get off the horse."

"Ok?"

"Everyone get off their horses and go to the gate of the city. We want to ask questions."

The official sneered: "Do you know what you are doing?"

Zheng Xi said, "I'm doing my job."

"The current emperor wants to summon these people, delaying His Majesty's state affairs, can you afford it!"

"Don't talk nonsense with me, get off the horse!" Zheng Xi's tone changed immediately, "This is the South City Gate patrol, today is the Heavenly King Lao Tzu, so you have to obey the rules!"

"Yes! Get off the horse!" A man nearby said, it was an ordinary passerby, like thousands of passers-by on weekdays.

"If you hurt someone, you have to accept the investigation by the government!" said another person, a young man in his 20s.

"This is the Great Song Dynasty, and the Great Song Dynasty has the laws of the Great Song Dynasty!" Then another person followed suit.

"We all abide by the law. If we don't, how can we walk on the road with peace of mind and how can we do business?"

"That's right! If you don't cooperate today, don't even think about taking another step forward!"

Everyone stood up one after another.

These people love to gossip on weekdays, spread rumors without knowing the truth, and sometimes do small things that harm others and benefit themselves.

But at a certain moment, when someone encounters injustice, they will indeed stand up.

Ordinary people are multifaceted, and human nature is complex.

This is people.

"You!" The official didn't expect to arouse public anger so quickly, and immediately softened.

After all, he is an official from other places, and officials from other places are not allowed to leave the place where he is an official at will. This time, he was only eligible to enter Beijing after the summoning order was issued by the Political Affairs Hall.

The official looked around and was about to get off his horse to cooperate when a group of people came in front of him suddenly.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!" There was a shout from the crowd.

I saw a group of people in gorgeous costumes coming on horseback, with a young man in his twenties in the middle.

The crowd was cleared by the people who followed, the young man walked over, and a person on the side said: "I am Li Mi, the inspector of the Kaifeng government army, what happened?"

Zheng Xi said: "Shangguan, you came just in time, there are people hurting people here."

"Who are you?"

"The next official is Zheng Xi, a patrol official at the South City Gate."

"This upper official, the lower official Zhang Tao, the Chief Registrar of Hangzhou Shipbuilding Department, was ordered to bring someone to meet the saint."

The young man next to Secretary Li asked, "Is it a cannibal?"

"This..." Zhang Tao was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help asking.

Li Mi said: "This is Qin Xi, the official doctor."

As soon as Zhang Tao heard this, he dismounted immediately and saluted: "I don't know Mount Tai with my eyes. I have seen Qin Shangguan. I heard that Qin Shangguan is a generation of great heroes of the Song Dynasty. Today I see him, and he really lives up to his reputation."

This Qin Xi's Lao Tzu is the current Zai Zhi, who doesn't know?

Zhang Tao, who works as a small master in the Shibo Department, has the opportunity to do it this time. When he meets such a big man, he is not excited to jump up?

"You were responsible for bringing them here?"

"Yes, I am proficient in some Dashi language, so I am honored to come to the capital together."

Qin Xi said: "Okay, pack up and go into the city, the official has set up a banquet."

Zhang Tao was startled, and asked a little timidly, "Didn't you go to face the saint?"

"Whoever came to the capital on the first day, immediately went to face the saint. Who do you think you are? Today, I made a special trip to wait for you in Da Nei?"

"Yes, yes, the lower official made a slip of the tongue, the lower official slipped the tongue!"

"Let's go." Qin Yu said with a glance.

Everyone was about to leave when Zheng Xi stood up and said, "Wait a minute, according to the rules, they should patrol and register at the city gate, and the people from Kaifeng Prefecture's yamen will take them to the yamen for questioning."

Qin Xi didn't even look at Zheng Xi, and Li Mi, the military patrol on the side, said, "Is this your first day on duty?"

"If you go back to the Shangguan, I have been serving as a patrol officer in the south of the city for half a year."

"Having worked for half a year and still don't understand the rules?"

"Oh?" Zheng Xi asked, "What rules?"

"What rules are you asking?" Li Mi sneered, "Don't come tomorrow."

Zheng Xi said: "I have a chief editor in the Ministry of Officials. If you want to remove my position, you need an official letter from the Ministry of Officials."

"Oh?" Qin Yu turned his eyes and smiled and said, "Official letter from the Ministry of Officials?"

"Yes, I am the editor-in-chief of the imperial court."

"A small official who dares to say such things in the capital and in front of this official, is the current official's requirements so low?" Qin Xi said disdainfully, "You want the official department to waive the official letter. Just send someone back to the Ministry of Officials to issue a copy for you, and you can get out today!"

Seeing this, Qian Yuqing wanted to go out to stop the farce, but was stopped by Zhao Ning: "Don't worry, keep watching, and no one will be killed."

Then Zheng Xi said: "Before I leave, they must go to Nancheng Patrol to register and file."

"You want His Majesty's guests to leave a record on your memorandum?" Qin Yu asked coldly.

"I don't know what His Majesty's guests are. I know that if they hurt someone in public and under the watchful eyes of everyone, they must be registered and filed!"

Qin Xi was so angry that he wanted to curse on the spot, but he still held back.

Li Mi, the military inspector, said: "Young man, you are very tough! You have to register and file, that's fine! You have to remember who you offended today! What rules have you broken!"

Chapter 939 I want to overthrow the South China Sea? (Second more)

Secretary Li whispered in Qin Xi's ear: "Let's just go through the motions. The officials will arrange for someone to deal with it later. The record will not leave any traces. You can also use this matter to negotiate terms with these big cannibals."

"Okay, you take care of it." After speaking, Qin Yu turned his horse's head and left.

Secretary Li said to Zhang Tao: "You take these people to Nancheng to patrol and register and file."

"Sir..."

"You just arrange it."

Zhang Tao immediately understood, and said a few words to those cannibals, one of them said impatiently: "You guys invited us here, what are we going to do now!"

Another person said: "After all, this is someone else's place, so don't make things worse."

Several people followed Zheng Xi and went to Nancheng to patrol and register and file.

Secretary Li arranged for inspections to take the mother and son to the Yamen of Kaifeng Prefecture.

This is a civil dispute. If the two parties do not settle on the spot, the government must intervene, and the Kaifeng government will recommend officials to judge.

Seeing that Zheng Xi took him away, everyone dispersed one after another.

"Go, let's go back." Zhao Ning said.

Wang Zonglin said: "We don't care about this matter?"

"Let's talk about it when we go back."

After returning to the palace, Zhao Ning immediately called Gao Qi.

"Go and check a group of big cannibals who just came to the capital, I want detailed information."

"Yes, don't worry, Your Majesty, just leave this matter to the minister."

After Gao Qiu left, Qian Yuqing said: "The big cannibals are relatively responsible in the Celestial Dynasty, but there are also some people who do things radically. The man named Pu Luoxin that I know is still very good at things."

Zhao Ning stared at the map of the southeast coast, and after a while, he said: "The Yi people have no etiquette, and their behavior is no different from that of animals."

A traveler like him in the 21st century stood in the God's vision of future generations and understood too many cruel histories in the history of human civilization and conquest.

Don't have any good illusions about those people.

Not just Europeans.

Let’s just say that in this era, what has been done in Jerusalem?

One bloody storm after another caused by the Arabs and Europeans piled up the bones, and trampled on human life like grass.

You want to say they are gentle?

Isn't that nonsense!

Not to mention the West, but the Eastern world.

In Guangzhou at the end of Tang Dynasty, there was a massacre of Guangzhou by big cannibals.

Besides, Pu Shougeng, a big cannibal in the late Southern Song Dynasty, almost slaughtered the Song clan in order to claim credit.

This kind of people who travel across the ocean to do business are all risking their lives. Which one is the good one?

From today's incident, Zhao Ning deeply felt the danger along the coast.

Qian Yuqing said: "The big cannibal really doesn't understand my court rules."

"I ask you, this is the capital, why are these big cannibals still so arrogant?" Zhao Ning's tone was a little cold, "Do they think that Da Song wants to do business with them, so they dare not touch them?"

"I secretly thought that it might be that the officials below wanted to make meritorious service, and it was a bit too much to try to figure out what to do."

"You mean that the imperial court issued an order to attach importance to the business with big cannibals, so that some officials want to serve these big cannibals well, to make meritorious service, and to curry favor with the people above, so as to get promoted?"

"Yes."

"I admit that what you said makes sense, but this is not the root cause."

"I'm stupid, please enlighten me, Your Majesty."

"If the Celestial Dynasty sent troops to wipe out the barbarians in all directions at sea, and then summoned the big cannibals, and gave them a chance to transport the goods of the Song Dynasty to their country, would they dare to use that attitude when their people came to the capital?" Zhao Ning Said, "Do the officials below still think that they want to please the barbarians to get promoted?"

"This..." Qian Yuqing was speechless, "Your Majesty is right."

"How is your naval warship in the South China Sea now?"

"I just received a report from Li Bao a few days ago, and wiped out a group of bandits at sea."

"It's just to destroy the bandits at sea, how can I show my might of heaven?" Zhao Guanjia said, staring at the blurred map of the South China Sea, "Is the big cannibal's power in the South China Sea very strong?"

"Indeed, both in Sulu Kingdom and in Sanfoqi, there are very powerful forces." Qian Yuqing said, "Many businessmen from Guangzhou, Quanzhou, and Hangzhou will depend on their faces when they go south to the South China Sea. In order to act, the bargaining power of South China Sea goods is jointly monopolized by the big cannibal and Srivijaya."

"Then what are you waiting for?" Zhao Ning was slightly annoyed, "Li Bao's warships are not enough, or is the bronze cannon I gave you not enough? Or is the latest firecracker not equipped for the navy?"

"No, Your Majesty, Sanfoqi is too far away from the Heavenly Dynasty. The risk of our army's expedition is too great, and the increase in income after the conquest may be limited." Qian Yuqing said, "Now the big cannibals are willing to come to Hangzhou to pay a high price. Buying our products does not require us to send a large ship to the South China Sea, which is undoubtedly beneficial to us."

"Your businessman's thinking is too serious, and you haven't switched to political thinking." Zhao Ning directly pointed out his dissatisfaction with Qian Yuqing, "This matter is not just as simple as making money now, I know you want to talk about doing business Peace is more important, too much emphasis on force can be damaging to business."

"I really mean that, but my knowledge is superficial, so I ask Your Majesty to enlighten me."

"Now when businessmen from Guangzhou, Quanzhou and Hangzhou go south to the South China Sea, they not only have to bear huge risks, but also have to bear high customs taxes in the South China Sea, and cannot develop the local resources of the countries in the South China Sea. The hidden costs are huge. of."

He added: "Take Japan as an example. If the imperial court exchanges what they want for their gold and silver, one day they won't want to exchange it. Wouldn't there be nothing left?"

Qian Yuqing was silent.

"But if the imperial court sends a warship over there, blasts open the gate of Japan's harbor with bronze cannons, and requires them to accept Qian Yuqing's calligraphy and paintings in exchange for their gold, will the initiative be in my hands? Now, how much gold and silver do you want to mine by then?"

"Your Majesty is right."

"Where is the largest stronghold of the big cannibal in the South China Sea?" Zhao Ning asked.

"In the Linga of the Three Buddha Qi, it is the key point of the East and West Seas."

Linga?

Zhao Ning is not sure where this Linga is, but he heard that the sea area is important, so it must be the Singapore of the later generations, right?

The ancient Arabs recognized by normal people fought against the Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions.
