The grand ceremony to be held the next day to receive the Goryeo envoys was delayed by half a month. It was not that the king and minister of the Song State were intentionally trying to hang the Goryeo people, but that the news brought by the other party was too surprising. The Song State needed time to comprehensively evaluate the pros and cons contained in this discussion.

Politically, especially military affairs, we need to listen to the opinions of Tong Guan, the Shujin who is far away on the Hedong front line, but business matters are much easier to handle.

The Koreans in this house had just paid a deposit of one million yuan (100,000 taels of gold), and Zhao Ji couldn't wait to issue a decree of dozens of relevant military states in the southeast, each of which transported the grain and grass from the treasury to Mingzhou according to their share to be loaded. Judging from this matter alone, the efficiency of the Song court was astonishingly high.

The most eye-catching price issue was finally negotiated after some bargaining: the old grain price ranged from four taels of silver to four taels of silver according to the year. The new grain was priced at one pound, two taels of silver.

Regarding this price, it is higher than the psychological expectations of both parties.

As for the court, although the price is lower than the steadily rising market price, the southeast region is a grain-producing area, and the price cannot be sold at the same time as the north. This time, I sold grain in Mingzhou, the gateway to grain production, and talked about wholesale transactions with large volume and superior volume. Secondly, I also brought some support to the young man in the country, so Zhao Ji and Cai Jing both thought that this business was done. Even later, Cai Jing tried to explore Jin Fushi, wanting to know whether this business was a one-time transaction, or whether it was a long-term transaction?

As for Liangshan, it must have taken advantage of it. This price is not only cheaper than buying it by itself, but also the receipt cycle is much shorter, which is crucial to stabilizing the emerging territory of Liangshanbo. Moreover, Liangshanbo's big move to purchase 4 million stones of grain in the market has led to the rise of the current price of grain on the market. At this time, the intention of several military advisors in the village was that they all had the idea of ​​killing this price increase.

As a transaction, since both parties are satisfied, everything will be easy to negotiate next.

After that, Jin Fushi proposed to purchase fifty large sea ships of 5,000 materials to receive the batch of grain, which was quickly approved by the Song Dynasty court, and finally sold for a friendly price of 10,000 yuan per ship. Zhao Ji even waved his hand, demonstrating the prodigal spirit of the great emperor, and presented fifty sea ships of the same size and the Goryeo Kingdom as the order was the same to commend him for his obedience.

It is said that this news also attracted an interlude. The excited Le He Bao also reported the news to Wang Lun, but it attracted the other party to understate the sentence "complain":

"The cost of shipbuilding is only 300,000 or 500,000 yuan, in the face of a business of 20 million yuan. Even half a rebate is needed. Who said that this fool is a fool?"

The episode was about the episode, just as Kim Fushi was busy bargaining with Cai Jing, who made an exception to participate in the negotiations, the other members of the Goryeo delegation were not idle either.

In fact, if you want to talk about the tyrant monarch of Song Huizong, there is no lack of advantages. Although he promised to send students to Goryeo, he did not make any forced levies, but asked the students to register voluntarily.

Therefore, accompanied by relevant officials from the Privy Council of the Song Dynasty and the Imperial Academy, the "Goryeo Envoys" worked hard to promote the Goryeo king's attention to them in front of thousands of students. Of course, the most talked about was the legendary history of the Song Dynasty Liu Zai, Ouyang Zheng and Xiao Mingzong in the Goryeo Kingdom.

It would be fine if Ouyang Zheng and Xiao Zongming were both old figures, and they were not very high-ranking officials in the Goryeo Dynasty. One in front was mixed up with the left and right pick up the remains, and the other in the latter was eventually named the Marquis of Quan Zhihemen.

The key is that Liu Zai is amazing. Not only is this man alive, he also lives well. He also became the high-ranking official of the Shangshu Right Pushe under Wang Ya. If he was placed in the Song Dynasty, he would be one of the priests. Moreover, he was not the first Song Dynasty to become a priest in Goryeo. As early as a few decades ago, the people of Kaifeng Prefecture in Song Dynasty calmly cultivated the ship to Goryeo with the ship, "with knowledge and good medical skills", and became the first official to become Situ, left Pushe, and was responsible for political affairs. His son An was in charge of the two dynasties, and the ruler of Shuizhou was the ruling government. The officials were afraid of the people's concerns, and were promoted to the Minister of War, and the three envoys were sentenced to one department.

With these glorious examples in front of us, the Imperial Academy officials who received the emperor's will were willing to "endorse" the Goryeo people, promising that when these students returned to China, the Song Dynasty admitted that their qualifications for office in Goryeo would definitely make proper arrangements in the future.

Of course, Goryeo's own disadvantages are not small. After all, it is a barbarian land, far away from the Central Plains, and good Tokyo students crossing the sea for thousands of miles, as if they are sent to their exile.

You should know that in this Imperial Academy, many powerful and noble children are waiting for their fathers to support themselves, so that they can enter the officialdom of Song Dynasty to achieve great success. How can they go to the state of Luoshizi to gain qualifications? Don’t look at the officials of the Imperial Academy now who want to be ashamed of their chests as a guarantee, but you see that they are so marginalized, why can they promise people’s future? (The Imperial Academy is unattainable in the eyes of the people, but if it is placed in the real officialdom of Song Dynasty, it is still too far from the core of power)

Children from aristocratic families would not be fooled, but just laughed at the hard-working envoys of Goryeo. However, this opportunity really touched many people for scholars from poor backgrounds.

After all, it is a fact that the officialdom of the Song Dynasty was bloated. In this pure land of Taixue, there were three levels of sacrificing life outside, sacrificing life inside, and sacrificing life above. These visible gaps alone were enough to cast a shadow on the progress of poor students in realizing their life ambitions. What's more, there are countless invisible big hands hidden deep in the officialdom. Every time at critical moments, they would fall from the sky and fiddle with their already fragile and vague future. In fact, there are many people who have dropped out of school in Taixue these years, most of whom are poor scholars who have seen through their fate and are disheartened.

Therefore, the current polarization situation of "cold, hot and hot" gradually formed a few days later. After a few days, one hundred and forty-six students made up their minds to voluntarily go to the small country of Haidong to try their luck and try to rewrite their own life path.

Their future leader, or the leader, took the final list and compared it with the recommendation letter of former Imperial College student Lu Jiang, and found that five of the thirty-seven people recommended by the latter did not sign up. Wang Lun, who was eager to seek talent, finally asked the Goryeo delegation to contact these five people again, and finally saved three people back, so the list was finally frozen above the number of 149 people.

After the list was confirmed, not only Zhao Ji had no objection, but even the civil and military officials of the Song Dynasty, who had no one to bothered him, should the extra forty-nine people retreat. Therefore, this "small thing" that made Wang Lun anxious but Zhao Ji did not take it seriously was decided.

It was so relaxed to choose people in the official Imperial College. Then the Goryeo delegation recruited medical practitioners in Tokyo, and there was no resistance to apprentices. From three thousand guan, two thousand guan, and one thousand guan, the purchase price of good doctors in three levels of three years, to dozens of guan, hundreds of guan, and hundreds of guan, it attracted the favor of many traditional Chinese medicine practitioners. Especially when I heard that in the future, I could join the Hanlin Medical Office in Goryeo, there would be official titles and salary or even titles, which made this recruitment more attractive. After all, although the good doctors are not short of money, they were on their heads with the title of the chief imperial doctor of Goryeo when they returned to China five years later. Whether in the Xinglin of the Song Dynasty or among the people, it was definitely a very cool existence.

The waiting time passed slowly as the Goryeo delegation spent money everywhere seeking "supply". Jin Fushi, the envoy of the "Goryeo" who was mixed with all kinds of emotions, was summoned by the Emperor of Song again.

This time, it was no longer a private banquet like a Lu Ming Banquet, but a serious process of submitting the national letter and signing the alliance. Judging from the kind of politeness shown by the reception officials of the Privy Council, it should be that the State of Song was already planning to eat this cooked cake that fell from the sky.

The pomp of a great country represents the majesty of the emperor, but Jin Fushi, who was following the steps, did not feel any solemn atmosphere. In this puppet show that lasted for more than an hour, he felt a little pitiful to the high-ranking emperor of the Song Dynasty.

I am a chess piece, and you are also a chess piece. We are all manipulated by the chess player.

"I have received the order of Haotian to entrust King Wang Ya of Goryeo: The emperor must choose virtuous and capable in his country; the princes will be rewarded with merits and promote laws. I am a great master of civil and military affairs, and I am the supreme of China, with a selfless reputation, and loyalty and hard work belongs to..."

"I gave Wang Ya the order to serve as the third department of Kaifu, the chief magistrate, the governor of Xuantuzhou, and served as the envoy of the Dayi army, the King of Goryeo, and the conferred Wang Kai as the crown prince of Goryeo..."

Zhao Ji's imperial decree was read out in the solemn voice of Huang Zhong. Next was the Goryeo envoys who paid tribute to him, and then the two countries signed the alliance, everything was carried out step by step according to the established routine. Although the lengthy etiquette made most people a little exhausted, Zhao Ji was still full of energy. Even at the end of the ceremony, he was still a little unfulfilled.

Looking at the obedient envoy of Goryeo under the imperial stairs, the emperor of Song, who was bullied by the Khitan, finally breathed a breath.

Unexpectedly, just as Zhao Ji was distracted, an unexpected scene occurred at the ceremony:

"My subordinate, Jin Fushi, Minister of Rites of Goryeo, will report to the emperor of the country if you have any matter!"

Seeing this, the two groups of Song ministers frowned slightly, and they all laughed at the Goryeo envoy for not knowing etiquette. Only Cai Jing, who had dealt with Jin Fushi, had a slight heart. You should know that although today's etiquette is grand, it is just a formality. Things that really need to be negotiated have been negotiated before. However, when the ceremony was about to end, this person pretended to be serious. According to Cai Jing's previous impression and sense of Jin Fushi, a kind of intuition emerged from the bottom of his heart: Could this guy be making a mess again?

Zhao Ji looked very interested and gave Jin Fushi a chance to surprise Daqing Palace. In fact, according to his mindset, he was not interested in the four or six, and he was afraid that he was still waiting for the envoy to offer poems to entertain him?
