Yang Yibai gave Di Gulie 60,000 grenades. Chi Tie'er was really moved by this kindness, and Chi Tie'er offered to buy them with money. They marched westward and won every step of the way, so they were certainly not short of money.
Yang Yi retorted righteously: "Don't Di Gulie want to recognize my answer? Since we are brothers, our lives can be entrusted to you, let alone others? Now you want to develop people's livelihood and stabilize the place. It is the time to spend money everywhere. , I can help you answer it, it¡¯s no big deal, how can I talk about money? If I care about money, grenades and other sharp weapons are eager to be purchased by other countries, so why bother to go to Persia to sell them? "
In fact, the cost of making grenades is not high. Yang Yi came out this time and evacuated the three capitals of Balin State, Gaolangbu, and Thanjavur, and obtained countless gold and silver treasures, and these gold and silver treasures were not part of the Western Indian Ocean trade. Trading company, but as military income of the Yang family.
Compared to the income this time, sending tens of thousands of grenades to Digulie is just a drop in the bucket. Since you are determined to win over Di Gulie, you should be a bachelor and do it so that he has nothing to say in terms of friendship.
Chi Tie'er really had nothing else to say, so he bowed and bowed again, and said with emotion: "To be honest with Grand Scholar Yang, when my king wanted to marry Grand Scholar Yang, I was opposed to it. At that time, I was afraid that My king has suffered a loss, and now I know that I judged a gentleman with a villain's heart, and I am really ashamed. I will bear in mind the great righteousness of the great scholar Yang."
"Uncle Chi Tie'er, don't mind. It's only natural for you to be worried about the situation at that time. I came out under other pretexts this time. It's really inconvenient to stay for too long. I'm staying in Dongde Port just to wait for Chi Tie. Uncle Er is coming. I also miss my Anda very much, but I really don¡¯t have time to go to Persia this time. These weapons I gave to Anda, I will send a ship to Persia. Uncle Chitie will take the ship with him. Just go back.¡±
"Since Grand Scholar Yang said this, I can't force him, but I'm afraid that the king will be very sorry that he couldn't meet Grand Scholar Yang."
"Yes, there will be opportunities. From the Song Dynasty to Persia, you can actually go back and forth by boat only once every half a year. Sooner or later in the future, I will go to Persia to visit my An Da."
The two chatted for a while, and Yang Yi quickly turned the topic to governing the country: "My Anda has just arrived in Persia and has not established himself for a long time. There are many things going on, and I am really worried about him. The locals are rebelling, and we must vigorously suppress them. That's right. Now they are still leaning towards Seljuk in their hearts. If you can't convert them to Buddhism, you will never be able to get them to return. Therefore, you must not be lenient in this matter. If you compromise for a while, there will be endless troubles in the future. I, the Song Dynasty, are now here The Western Region is also doing this, also for the sake of long-term peace and stability in the future."
Chi Tie'er thought for a moment and said, "What Master Yang said makes sense."
"In order to quell the rebellion of the local people, in addition to ruthless suppression, the development of production is the top priority. Only when the people live a prosperous life will they not be willing to take risks and gather people to resist. As the saying goes, there is no stability without farming. Business is not rich. For a country, abundant food is a prerequisite for national stability, and developing industry and commerce is a necessary means to ensure the prosperity of the country. I will do my best to influence our country's businessmen. Let them give you as much as possible. The goods will be shipped there to solve your dilemma of shortage of supplies after the war. You just need to ensure their safety and provide them with some trade convenience. Well, if I have any questions, I can also send messages through these merchants. Give it to me and I will do my best to support you.¡±
Yang Yi always thought about Digurey in his words and deeds, and seemed extremely generous. First of all, he really wanted to support Diguriel to gain a foothold in Persia and promote Chineseization. On the other hand, it was also to find a broader market for the Song Dynasty's goods. Of course, the development of trade between the two sides would also be beneficial to Digulie. There is no doubt about this.
Chi Tie'er never expected that Yang Yi would be so generous and gain such a bountiful harvest this time. He was really overjoyed. With his wisdom, he could not see Yang Yi's selfish motives at all. No matter how he thought about it, he felt that Yang Yi was really sincerely helping the enemy. Gu Lie's answer was a complete agreement to what Yang Yi said.
It was finally time to go home. Although Letao and the others stayed, the returning fleet did not shrink at all, but became even larger, because eight more merchant ships with two thousand materials and six merchant ships with one thousand materials joined in, fully loaded with goods. Return of cargo and gold and silver.
It is inevitable for the Song Dynasty to maintain a trade surplus with other countries. As long as maritime trade continues to flourish, gold and silver will continue to flow to the Song Dynasty. Under such circumstances, Yang Yi feels that there is no need to use force to occupy these small countries. At least there is no need for this now. The territory of the Song Dynasty is already large enough. If you bite off more than you can chew, it will cause indigestion.
After about twenty days, the fleet returned to Singapore safely. Singapore is the place where Yang Yi focuses his business. The expedition warship will also use this as its home port, stationed here permanently to intimidate the Southeast Asian countries.
At present, Yang Yi has controlled Kagoshima, Japan, and??A simple supply port has also been built in southern Taiwan. Together with Mayi Port, Singapore Port, and Dongde Port in the southern corner of India, it can be said that the route from Japan to India is basically under his control. Of course, this This kind of control is still relatively weak and needs to be strengthened. Battleships, artillery, etc. also need to be increased and improved.
This time Yang Yi wiped out the capitals of three countries. Building more warships is not a problem for him, but he needs to step up the technical improvement of artillery.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Out of the Champa area, Yang Yi was found in the Champa area, and at the same time, Yang Yi diverted to Champa and took a merchant ship back to Hangzhou by sea.
In fact, the round-trip flight from the Song Dynasty to India only takes three and a half months, but Yang Yi's trip took nearly half a year. When he returned to the capital, it was already the middle of winter with heavy snowfall, and New Year's Eve was only a few days away.
When they saw the majestic city of Tokyo from a distance, Qingniang and Adela couldn't help but shed tears with excitement. The sound of the waves of the Indian Ocean still seemed to be echoing in their ears, but it seemed like they were half a lifetime away. This journey to the West was so exciting. It was like a dream to them. Yang Yi hugged the two of them, feeling quite emotional and silent for a long time.
Liu Qingjing sent a special lieutenant to greet him, and there were many soothing words in his edict. Yang Yi patrolled the sky on his behalf. Everywhere he went, he always reported many sincere suggestions to the court, which provided the basis for the court to rectify local problems in a targeted manner. He was indispensable. During the hunting tour, he narrowly escaped death, so it was natural for the court to offer him some comfort.
Because the imperial court was on annual holiday, many officials also spontaneously went out to welcome him, such as Ma Hanqing, Wan Shifang, Bao Yan, Li Yizhong, etc., and the scene was very lively.
Yang Yi¡¯s return is more joyful than the New Year for those uninformed Yang officials. Their hearts have been entangled for half a year. If some vague news hadn¡¯t been sent back from time to time by the staff office, I¡¯m afraid some of them would have changed their careers.
Yang Yi had a talk with a group of officials, and then asked them to return to the city first. He followed the middle official into the palace to pay the order. When Yang Yi left the capital, construction was still going on in the outer city, and the construction of houses and shops in each village was still being stepped up. At this moment Walking into Tokyo city again, I almost couldn¡¯t recognize the road;
In just one year, the outer city has become a city full of shops, and rare and exotic treasures from all over the world can be seen in the shops. The smooth and spacious streets are bustling with traffic and noisy. The gates of each house and the mountain-shaped flower racks of the shops are filled with flowers. They all have a new look and are decorated with lanterns and colors to welcome the New Year.
Especially in the park at the four corners of the Second Ring Road, green pines and cypresses shade the pavilions and pools. A variety of plays are going on in the park. Men, women, old and children are full of energy wearing brand new clothes. The warm blowing can dispel the cold air in winter.
Seeing this prosperous scene, Yang Yizhen really wanted to join in and have a great time. The eunuchs who greeted him did not rush him. They walked slowly and finally arrived at Xuandemen. The Mingtang on the left has been built. It is thirty or forty meters high. It is huge and majestic. It shows the majesty of the heaven. meteorological.
"Return to see the emperor, the emperor sits in the bright hall." This is a sentence in "Mulan". Yang Yi was the same at this moment, and the emperor received him in the Mingtang. Half of the senior officials from the three provinces and six ministries, including Zhang Dun, Li Qingchen, and Fan Chunren, were also present.
As soon as Yang Yi entered the palace, his eyes first met with Zhang Dun. Zhang Dun looked older. Yang Yi had been missing for half a year. Although Zhang Dun had doubts and felt that the matter was not that simple, when Yang Yi inspected the place, he reported He did not deliberately disrupt various problems and rectification plans. After carefully studying Yang Yi's suggestions, he implemented them one by one. Under his rule, the Song Dynasty flourished.
The Song Dynasty was lucky to have such an upright prime minister who could distinguish between public and private affairs. Although he was wary of himself and transferred several Yang officials from important positions during Yang Yi's departure from Beijing, he only transferred key ones. It's just w¨¨izhi, not a wanton blow.
Yang Yi's affection for Zhang Dun has not weakened, and he has no intention of having a quarrel with him. The few officials who were transferred slowly thought of a solution. There was no need to cause trouble that would hurt both the country and the people.
The first time Zhao Jie saw Yang Yi, he stood up. If the eunuch hadn't reminded him in time, he would have run down the hall. He stood in front of the throne and looked at Yang Yi earnestly, and spoke first: "Teacher, I heard that you ran aground and sank at sea. I was very worried. How are you, teacher?"
The eldest son's sincere feelings made Yang Yi very happy. After saluting him, he took out the story he had already prepared, saying that his boat was drifting on the sea and fell into the hands of a group of pirates. Fortunately, these pirates still had some survivors. Renyi, after robbing the property, did not kill anyone. Seeing that he was illiterate, he took him back to the island to manage their accounts. A few months later, when the pirates were out in force, I found an opportunity to escape from the island on a raft, and was rescued by a captured ship.
Zhao Jie has no doubt about Yang Yi's statement. As for Zhang Dun and others, even if they have doubts, they have no way to verify it, and there seems to be no need to make great efforts to verify it.?
After paying the order in Mingtang, everyone dispersed. Yang Yi went to the Academy to pack some things. Just as he was about to go home, a servant came to deliver the order and said that the emperor had given a banquet.
The chamberlain took Yang Yi around half a circle inside the imperial flower, but headed towards Yanchun Pavilion. Only then did Yang Yi understand that giving a banquet to calm people down was just superficial talk, and that Liu Qingjing really wanted to see her.
