The people in Honghe Temple worried that the domineering performance of Song Dynasty would hurt the young minds of the Jiaozhi people, so Qi Qi looked at Kou Ji.
Kou Ji felt Ru Mang on his back, and knew that a group of officials from Zihong Temple were waiting for him to speak.
He didn't look back either, just said indifferently, "My Dasong is a celestial state, and when dealing with a small country in Fanbang, I naturally have to be domineering. If we humbly beg them, then what kind of celestial state are we
They can't accept it. That's their business. What does it do to us
If they are knowledgeable, business and righteousness are also there.
If they are ignorant and the business is not there, don't want them in their heads. "
The people in Honghe Temple looked at each other a few times, and then nodded in agreement.
The celestial empire should have the dominance of the celestial empire.
In the past, they were under the false name of the celestial state. I'm very polite to all the envoys.
When others make excessive demands, not only can you not get angry, but you have to greet you with a smile, and pray for a chance to discuss and discuss.
Now it's different. They are the real celestial state, they have the strength and the confidence to act domineeringly.
Everyone does not need to greet each other with a smile, nor do they need to be afraid of taking on the reputation of wicked diplomatic relations between the two countries, servilely serving the envoys like a servant.
The civil servants in the ruling and opposition parties actually didn't like Kou Ji very much, nor did they like Kou Ji's grandfather.
Their grandparents and grandchildren seem to be in high positions, but they have never brought any benefits to civil servants.
On the contrary, he did not lose the head of Wenchen.
When General Kou Zhun was regent, he chopped off the heads of many civil servants. At the end of the chop, the civil servants stared when he saw him, and his calves trembled.
When Kou Zhun took the initiative to resign on the day of Zhao Zhen's wedding, the civil servants were amazed, more of a kind of ecstasy.
They did not hesitate to add all the words that describe sages under the world to Kou Zhun, hold Kou Zhun up high, let Kou Zhun be a sage high up, and don't go to the court to harm them.
Therefore, after Kou Zhun resigned from his official career, he quickly became a sage, and they have contributed to the situation.
When Zhao Zhen set up the Zhaoxun Chongde Pavilion, he listed Kou Zhun at the top of the civil servants, and they did not stop him.
Now Kou Zhun is gone, and Kou Ji is in charge.
Although Kou Ji did not like to kill civil servants as much as his grandfather, he always liked to fight against him.
He picked up a lot of benefits from the civil servants and spread them to the people.
It also sacked nearly dozens of senior officials.
Now Kou Ji went to inspect the yamen where the civil servants were sitting, and the civil servants also trembled in their calves.
All of them were afraid of being missed by Kou Ji.
The people in Hongshe Temple are also afraid of Kou Ji.
But besides being afraid, there is also awe.
Kou Ji showed them the attitude that a powerful country should have towards its tributaries.
It also gave them a taste of what a great power is.
Some people in the court may think that Kou Ji's move is a bit bullying.
But in their eyes, this is how the country intersects with each other.
If you don't bully others, they will think you are a bully.
You just forbear, others think you are a toothless tiger.
Etiquette, righteousness, honesty and shame can't play a big role at all when the country intersects.
Only those corrupt scholars who have never seen the abominable face of vassal envoys who eat people without spitting out bones will feel that etiquette, justice, and shame are the foundation of the state-to-state friendship.
At the forefront of diplomacy, the people at Honghe Temple know it better than anyone else.
Fist is the last word.
Since the birth of mankind, it has not changed.
Kou Ji is not one of those corrupt scholars who only knows etiquette, justice and shame. He decisively showed his fist when he met with the vassal envoy.
I don't know how many times a fist is bigger than others, hanging on other people's heads.
The oppression formed on them can be easily detected.
Qing Honghesi felt that after serving as an official for many years, he finally met someone who really understood diplomacy.
He felt that he, the chief diplomat of Song Dynasty, who worked with a boss like Kou Ji, would no longer be as aggrieved as before.
"Kou Xiang, now that the ship and supplies have been finalized, should we go to the court and get ready as soon as possible. As far as the lower officials know, Wang Xiang and Cai's coveting relatives has not been three or two days.
Officials must also salivate over Jiaozhi.
If we make this decision as soon as possible, we will be able to take control of Jiaozhi as soon as possible. "
When Hongyou Temple returned to Hongyou Temple, he immediately approached Kou Ji to give advice.
Kou Ji just sat down and heard what Hongyousiqing said. He felt that Hongyousiqing's attitude towards him had changed. He nodded in satisfaction and said, "You will be the master of this matter. We will discuss with the Jiaozhi people tomorrow. The ordnance matters are also up to you. I will not go, you only need to remember a little bit. I told them the conditions that Song can promise. I have already told them today.
If they can agree, we have to talk, if they don't agree, then you send them back. "
Upon hearing this, Hongyusiqing's satisfaction with Kou Ji increased by another level.
A boss who understands him and is willing to delegate power to him deserves his respect and support.
Honghusiqing nodded without hesitation, "The lower official understands... the lower official must handle this matter properly."
"That's good, I'll leave the rest of the matter to you. I'll just wait for the news here."
Kou Ji gave an order to let Hongyou Temple go down.
As soon as Hongyu Temple left, Kou Ji pouted his lips and said, "I never thought of buying people's hearts from beginning to end. I can't control things like personality charm."
Kou Ji was almost certain that as long as he gave Hongyou Siqing a little diplomatic support and encouragement, Hongyou Siqing could immediately fall into his command.
Diplomacy has always been the top priority in all dynasties.
All dynasties and dynasties have diplomatic offices similar to Honghu Temple.
It’s just that no diplomatic authority has been handed over to the Honghu Temple.
When a diplomatic incident is involved, basically, a heavy minister will be dispatched to airborne to a diplomatic sect like the Honghu Temple to serve as the chief, and sometimes three to five people will be airborne.
The yamen like Honghu Temple seems to be a diplomatic yamen.
But more often, they acted as a translation department and miscellaneous office.
The yamen of the past dynasties seldom handed over their foreign affairs to a diplomatic yamen like Honghu Temple for independent disposal.
As a result, when many important ministers were parachuted to a diplomatic office like Honghu Temple, the first thing they did was not to study diplomatic events, but to study the countries to be negotiated.
A person who does not know other states, presides over diplomatic events with other states.
You can imagine how many jokes there will be.
Jiaozhi has the problem of three-cropping rice a year and four-cropping rice a year. If Kou Ji hadn’t exposed it, no one in the Song Dynasty would pay attention to this matter.
Since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, there have been many associations with Jiaozhi.
But why did Kou Ji only raise this matter, but the other courtiers did not raise it
Don’t other courtiers understand
It's not.
Kou Ji from other yamen said it was not good, but Kou Ji was sure that the people at Honghe Temple definitely understood the rice of Jiaozhi and the yield of rice.
But why didn't the people at Hongshe Temple tell the court about this
It's not that they are unwilling to tell the court, but that their thousands of words are no match for the high-ranking bigwigs' line of "Jiaozhi, barbaric".
In the eyes of big brothers, barbarians, what good things can there be
How could the barbarian land be compared with the prosperous Central Plains
Such a pedantic and ignorant prejudice, because it was spoken by the leaders of the DPRK and China, has become the mainstream of the ruling and opposition parties.
The sounds made by the people in Hongshe Temple can't make waves at all.
It is precisely because of this that Kou Ji demonstrated an understanding of diplomacy and delegated power to the secretary of the Honghu Temple, allowing him to fully recognize Kou Ji.
Kou Ji showed a little bit more, wouldn't Hongyou Siqing fall into his door
After Kou Ji handed over the rest of the matters to the priest of Hongyou Temple, he made a home in Hongyou Temple and temporarily rested in Hongyou Temple.
The bamboo courtyard can't go back.
Kou Ji was almost certain that once he returned to the bamboo courtyard, two old guys, Wang Zeng and Cai Qi, would definitely come to the door.
He must show the appearance of working day and night in Honghe Temple.
Those two old guys won't come to the door.
Kou Ji stayed in Honghe Temple.
Honghe Temple didn't stop because he stopped, instead it was busy going round and round.
Since taking over the burden from Kou Ji's hands, Hongyousiqing has shown unprecedented attention.
Honghe Temple was busy going round and round.
In Kou Ji's eyes, it would take at most a day to negotiate ordnance with the Jiaozhi envoy.
But the people at Hongshe Temple spent four days.
After countless verbal battles, the people of Honghe Temple forcibly reduced the number of weapons and craftsmen proposed by the Cozhi Envoy to a very low number.
Jiao Zhi asked Da Song to provide Jiao Zhi with 1,300 craftsmen who were proficient in bow and crossbow manufacturing, as well as 30,000 bed crossbows, 35,000 heavy crossbows, and more than 60,000 other heavy crossbows.
In the old days, Jiaozhi was a big mouth for the lion.
After all, the cost of the Song crossbow is not low, and the cost of the heavy crossbow is even higher.
Important crossbows such as bed crossbows are not only expensive to build, but also extremely time-consuming, usually in units of years.
The number of these heavy crossbows required by Jiaozhi, converted into copper coins, is calculated in tens of millions.
But comparing what Jiaozhi has to pay, their requirements are not so harsh.
After all, it is not too much for people to spend the entire country and ask for some weapons.
The people at Honghe Temple went through four days of negotiation.
The number of artisans who will make bows and crossbows is 1,300 people, and there are 300 people.
The number of bed crossbows and heavy crossbows has been almost halved.
The other heavy crossbows have not changed much.
In four days, Honghe Temple saved millions of money for the imperial court.
Kou Ji heard from the people below that a dignified Hongyousiqing and a member of the Chinese Communist Party, in order to reduce the share of the crossbow for the Jiaozhi people, dragged their sleeves and told them the principle of the whole night.
In the end, the Jiao Zhi Ren could not survive him, and on the basis of the original exemption, another three hundred planes were reduced.
In fact, whether it is Kou Ji or Hongyu Siqing, they know it in their hearts.
The fact that Honghe Temple can halve the number of crossbows is enough for the imperial court.
He then stayed up all night with the Jiaozhi people, purely voluntary.
But it was his willingness to save a lot of money for the court.
When Kou Ji watched Hongyousiqing bloodshot and put a temporary additional deduction document in front of him, Kou Ji wanted to grab him and ask.
why
But in the end he still did not speak.
Because he knows why Honghe Siqing worked so hard.
It is a lie to say that it is the country and the home.
Hongyousiqing did this for Kou Ji's insignificant trust.
Kou Ji handed over the ordnance matters to him, and he wanted to give Kou Ji a satisfactory answer.
After Kou Ji had collected some documents, he stared at the official of Hongyou Temple who was watching him with red eyes, and said: "I will ask the official for your credit..."
All the officials at Honghe Temple stared at Kou Ji without saying a word.
Kou Ji hesitated for a while, and added, "I will try my best to hand over all foreign affairs to you."
Just now I heard that Kou Ji wanted to call on the officials of Hongyou Temple, who was not moved. He was completely moved when he heard Kou Ji's words.
The officials from Honghe Temple led the officials from Honghe Temple and gave salutes to Kou Ji together.
"Thank you Kou Xiang for your trust."
Kou Ji nodded and said, "I hope you can be worthy of my trust. I live in the center, busy with official duties, and it is impossible to stare at you all the time.
I have only one request from you.
That's when you intersect with the feudal vassal, don't weaken my Da Song's reputation.
The big deal is just a battle.
If they dare to shout, you must dare to declare war.
The number of imperial troops raised by the imperial court will soon exceed 900,000.
The purpose of their existence is to promote the prestige of our country.
When it's time to play, you need to pull out and play a game.
Otherwise, it takes a long time to raise it, and it is easy to raise waste. "
Upon hearing Kou Ji's remarks, officials from Hongyou Temple looked up at Kou Ji in astonishment.
They didn't expect that Kou Ji would still be willing to take the initiative to fight in this age when peace was threatening.
Kou Ji finished speaking and ignored them. He took the paperwork and left the main hall of Hongyou Temple.
When Kou Ji's figure appeared outside the main hall of Hongyou Temple, the people of Hongyou Temple reacted.
Hongyousi Qing took the lead in bowing, and Hongyousi Shaoqing came second.
Then all the officials up and down the Honghe Temple bent down.
It seems to be sending off Kou Ji, and it seems to be worshipping.
After Koj took all the documents, he rode into the palace in a carriage.
Zhao Zhen waited in Shishitang early.
Wang Zeng and Cai Qi are also there.
They are always paying attention to this matter.
So after the results were discussed at Honghe Temple, they already knew about it.
Kou Jiyi joined Shishitang.
Zhao Zhen, Wang Zeng, and Cai Qi got up one after another.
Kou Ji bowed to Zhao Zhen, "See the official..."
Zhao Zhen hurriedly waved his hand, "You don't need to be polite, just tell me how are you talking?"
Kou Ji got up and slightly bowed his hands to Wang Zeng and Cai Qi.
Wang Zeng and Cai Qi immediately responded respectfully.
Kou Ji took the initiative to salute them because they were older.
They replied respectfully, that was because Kou Ji's position was above them.
Above the court, it is about superior and inferior.
There are up and down, but also respect and inferiority, not only inferiority and inferiority.
After Kou Jishili, he straightened up, took out the documents compiled by Hongxu Temple from his cuffs, handed them to Zhao Zhen's direction, and said: "Basically, it has been negotiated, but the Jiaozhi people want a lot of things. We Can't raise money for a while."
When Zhao Zhen and Wang Zeng heard the words, their faces sank.
Zhao Zhen said solemnly: "As long as they can hand over their hands obediently, if I emptied the treasury, I will let them get what they want."
Wang Zeng and Cai Qi nodded in agreement.
Kou Ji handed in the paperwork.
Chen Lin forwarded it on her behalf.
After Zhao Zhen got the paperwork, he flipped through it quickly.
Only after reading the document carefully, his expression changed.
"Just... right here?"
Zhao Zhen looked at Kou Ji with his papers in disbelief.
Zhao Zhen is ready to open his mouth.
Only after getting the documents and reading them carefully, I found out.
According to common sense, Jiao Zhi is indeed the lion's mouth this time.
But the matter of this negotiation is very reasonable.
Not only does Jiaozhi need not much, but Zhao Zhen finds it incredible.
When Wang Zeng and Cai Qi saw that Zhao Zhen's expression was wrong, they both scratched their hearts and wanted to get up quickly to take a look at the paperwork in Zhao Zhen's hand.
Because of the etiquette system, they can only wait anxiously.
Faced with Zhao Zhen's question, Kou Ji nodded and said, "That's it!"
Zhao Zhen let out a sigh of relief and couldn't help saying: "Unbelievable..."
Wang Zeng and Cai Qi couldn't help it, and they spoke one after another.
"What's the point of talking?"
"..."
Zhao Zhen handed the document to Chen Lin and signaled Chen Lin to send the document to Wang Zeng and Cai Qi.
He stared at Kou Ji and said, "I thought the Cochin Association Lions would open their mouths, but I didn't expect that they just wanted some weapons, big ships, and supplies.
Just some weapons, big ships, and supplies have bought me a huge granary for Da Song.
This transaction, I earn a lot of money. "
While Zhao Zhen was speaking, Wang Zeng and Cai Qi had already got together and read the text carefully.
They looked at Kou Ji with an incredible expression on their faces.
After Zhao Zhen's voice landed, Wang Zeng hurriedly asked: "How did you force Jiaozhi to give up firearms and manpower?"
Kou Ji smiled frankly: "I'm just telling them the truth. I told them that Da Song's firearms cannot be sold, and the people of Da Song are not goods.
The two cannot be traded.
If they insist, there is only one battle. "
Wang Zeng opened his mouth and wanted to scold him for'nonsense', but he couldn't say a word when he saw the official seal of the Jiaozhi envoy on the document.
It doesn't matter whether Kou Ji's move is nonsense or not.
The anti-orthogonal toe has been threatened by Kou Ji, and they have subdued.
After Cai Qi finished speaking in Kou Ji, he couldn't help but said: "I just took a closer look, and there are 3,000 large ships that Jiaozhi requested, and the materials are countless.
It stands to reason that on craftsmen and crossbows, they will also open their mouths, why is the number so small. "
Kou Ji smiled and said: "In the beginning, the Jiaozhi people did speak loudly. However, after the unremitting efforts of the officials from the Da Song Hongtang Temple, the Jiaozhi people were finally forced to relax.
This time, Hongshe Temple not only helped me to save a thousand skilled craftsmen in the Song Dynasty, but also saved millions of money for the Song Dynasty. "
"The people at Hongshe Temple are so hardworking?"
Cai Qi was a little unbelievable.
You know, this transaction is of great importance.
After Jiaozhi gave up the firearms and manpower, the other conditions set by Jiaozhi were actually met by the court.
On this basis, the people of Hongshe Temple risked the collapse of the talks with the Jiaozhi people to save transaction costs for the court, but it was very dangerous.
Once the talk collapses, if Kou Ji pushes three, five, six, then someone from Na Honghe Temple will come out to bear the consequences.
With Zhao Zhen, Wang Zeng and Cai Qi's attention to Jiaozhi, they inevitably walked on the guillotine.
But now they not only took the risk of going to the guillotine and talked to the Jiaozhi people, but they also gave the court a satisfactory answer.
Facing Cai Qi’s doubts, Kou Ji smiled and said: “I always feel that the people at Hongyu Temple are capable. More importantly, they understand the vassal and neighboring countries better than most of the officials in the Song Dynasty.
They know the weakness of the vassal and neighboring countries.
Therefore, they preside over foreign affairs better than most of the officials in the Song Dynasty.
The results obtained will far exceed the imperial court's expectations.
In the past, the court always sent important officials to foreign affairs, but ignored whether the important officials knew about the vassal and neighboring countries.
I even overlooked the Honourable Prince, who was also one of the most important ministers in the DPRK.
The officials at Hongshe Temple are responsible for presiding over foreign affairs.
But the chores have been dealt with all the time.
In the future, should the imperial court try to let Honghu Temple preside over foreign affairs? "
When Zhao Zhen, Wang Zeng, and Cai Qi heard this, they fell into silence.
The three of them are rare sober people in the court.
They know that there has always been a big problem in the court.
That is, the higher the status, the more arrogant and arrogant people are likely to appear.
People of high status always feel that they are omnipotent and always like to give pointers to all kinds of things.
Obviously he is a layman, so he doesn't pretend to be someone who is better than an expert.
Take the Ministry of Industry for example.
Before Kou Ji appeared, the Ministry of Industry was not a yamen.
Among the officials in the Ministry of Industry, nearly half of them can't draw, and most of them can't understand precise drawings.
But when the imperial court built water conservancy and other projects, they always liked to give pointers and teach those who are really proficient in water conservancy and other projects the experience of building water conservancy projects.
That is to say, the Ministry of Industry had no power at the time, and the power was in the three divisions.
Otherwise, most of the water conservancy projects built by Song Dynasty would probably be unusable.
"This matter will be discussed later."
After contemplating, Zhao Zhen slowly said, "Since the conditions for taking back Jiaozhi have been negotiated, prepare quickly. Make a settlement with the King of Jiaozhi as soon as possible, and get Jiaozhi back as soon as possible.
For the sake of the Cozhi County King's knowledge, I gave him a promise.
I let him take permission from the territory outside of the Song Dynasty.
When he establishes another country, I promise him a seal of the lord of the country. "
Don't look at Zhao Zhen as just a simple promise.
The weight is not light.
We must know that among Da Song's neighbors, no power dared to claim the country.
Now the neighbors of the Great Song Dynasty are all kings.
All the people who called the country were fucked down.
Zhao Zhen gave many master seals to the Kingdom of Jiaozhi County, which is considered a generous gift.
The king recognized by Da Song and the master recognized by Da Song are completely different things.
"The officials are kind, and I believe that the Cochin County King will be inexplicably grateful when he knows this.
Kou Ji bowed and said.
Cai Qi stepped out of his seat and bowed and said, "The minister Cai Qi has something to play."
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of Zhao Zhen, Kou Ji, and Wang Zeng all fell on Cai Qi, and they didn't understand what Cai Qi was going to do.
Zhao Zhen questioned: "What does Aiqing want to play?"
Cai Qi said solemnly: "Couriers, please go to Jiaozhi!"
