Zhao Zhen didn't know that he had become a god-like existence in the Taliban's heart. He only knew that the Taliban now respected him as a god and meticulously fulfilled the prices and requirements given by Cai Ji. This made Cai Boqi surprised when the Taliban transformed from a profiteer to an honest and trustworthy old man?

No one knew that in the hearts of the Taliban, Zhao Zhen had become the patron saint of the Song Dynasty of the Eastern Empire, a nation without a country, and its fanaticism for faith was the only worship left by them.

The transaction proceeded almost without any obstacles. The elegant and beautiful porcelain and fragrant black tea were carefully loaded on the merchant ships of the Taliban and Cai Ji. At this time, the shipbuilding technology of the Song Dynasty had reached the demand for ocean trade, and there were even many advanced technologies that amazed the Taliban, a merchant who had been engaged in ocean trade for many years.

To be honest, the shipbuilding technology of the Song Dynasty was already ahead of the world. It not only has a large number but also has high quality. This has promoted the development of the maritime industry in disguise. The ship built in prison will have a majestic and tall hull, reasonable structure, and gorgeous decorations. It will start using a compass to navigate.

In addition to the star-shaking technique passed down from the Tang Dynasty and the sea charts obtained from Vera, it is not a problem to reach the South Ocean or even sail to the Arabian Peninsula. Now only the Taliban needs to lead the way.

After two years of familiarity, Zhao Zhen believed that the merchant ships and even warships of the Song Dynasty would be able to travel through the Strait of Malacca and the Indian Ocean in a short time.

This time, Zhao Zhen sent out all the warships and merchant ships that the Song Dynasty could take action, and each ship was filled with precious cargo. He wanted to use these cargo to impress the rulers of the Abbas dynasty and let him see clearly that the alliance between the two countries was the best way to survive.

For the Arab Empire with weak national strength and economic downturn, the economic support of the Song Dynasty was undoubtedly the best help. The Song Dynasty's request was not excessive. Everyone got rich together and obtained some Arab skills. Zhao Zhen's list was carefully placed in his arms by the Taliban with the chart.

These requirements are nothing to the Abbas Dynasty. After all, the Song Dynasty is too far from the Arabian Peninsula. Sharing technology will not produce the result of governing the other person by the other's way. Why don't the Abbas ruler do it?

The Taliban changed from a cunning businessman to an envoy of friendship, and humbly fell at Zhao Zhen's feet: "Dear Your Majesty, your servant Abbas requested to obtain an official position in the Song Dynasty and become a member of the Song Dynasty, so as to better serve the Song Empire!"

Cai Boqi and Ding Wei spoke out almost at the same time: "Impossible!"

Zhao Zhen looked at them strangely. When did the old and the young man get so close?

The original Cai Boyi was very disgusted with Ding Wei. Even if he completely defected to him, Cai Boyi and Yan Shu both treated Ding Wei without any hesitation. However, since Ding Wei took over the Three Sessions, Cai Boyi and Ding Wei's intersection has become more and more and more close.

Now he often quotes Ding Wei's words and style of doing things. Could it be that he is a disciple of Ding Wei?

Zhao Zhen touched his chin and asked, "You want to give me a reason!"

Ding Wei glanced at the Taliban and said, "It is not without officials from the official family, but they are both leaders of a clan or officials of a country. He is just a great food merchant, so it is inappropriate to be appointed to him!"

"When did you Ding Wei care about someone's origin? Don't you care only about means and results? Besides, he wants to convince the emperor of another empire for me. Isn't this my envoy? Then the Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple will forget it. I will serve as an official in the Sifang Pavilion. This is a dispatch by the provincial government of the inner court. It is not considered an official from the foreign court, so it is okay!"

Ding Wei's eyes lit up and said, "The official family is wise! This is quite appropriate. The officials who entered the provincial eunuch are close friends of the official family, nor are they officials from the outside court. Not only did the emperor of the Great Food Kingdom feel that the official family is sincere, but there were also many rumors!"

Cai Boqi looked at Ding Wei angrily. He actually wanted to go on a mission to the Great Food Kingdom as the Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple! But the official rejected it without thinking. Didn’t he describe the grand magnificence of the great voyage himself? Didn’t he encourage himself to go out to sea? Why did he change his mind again at the critical moment!

A seed galloping on the sea has taken root and sprouted in Cai Boyi's heart. Now the opportunity is right in front of him, how can he give up?

"I report to the officials and ministers, and I will also send a large meal. Most of the goods this time were provided by Cai Ji, so of course my ministers need to..."

Before Cai Boqi finished his words, he was interrupted by Zhao Zhen: "No, you can't even think about this! I promised to let you go to sea, but now is not the time."

"Then when will the minister wait? You can't wait until you're old and lose your teeth before going out to sea?"

Ding Wei couldn't help but say, "What are you going to the sea? The four-pillar list you learned here is not yet familiar with, and you just want to go to sea? Didn't you say you should combine Cai Ji's accounting method with the four-pillar list of Sansi to make a more convenient accounting method? You are going to sea again? How can you do the official's dispatch like you?"

Cai Boyi was obviously caught by Ding Wei and sulked while pouting.

After Zhao Zhen formally appointed the Taliban as an official, he sent him and Ding Wei away.

Zhao Zhen took Cai Boyi to stroll in the palace: "Why are you so anxious? If you were asked to go out to sea, Miaoyuan wouldn't run to my hall to cry every day? Don't forget that I will be getting married next year, and it will be your turn to have a wedding with Miaoyuan in the future!"

Cai Boqi looked up and said, "Then I can go out to sea after marrying Miaoyuan, right?"

Zhao Zhen smiled and shook his head and said, "No, you must have children before you can go out to sea, otherwise who will distract Miaoyuan from the spot?"

"The official is good at making plans!"

"Ahem, this is not a plan. It's for you to stay for the Cai family. If you encounter a dragon sucking water or something and feed the shark, I can give Miao Yuan an explanation..."

Cai Boqi rolled his eyes: "How can there be such an emperor who curses his subordinates... Don't slap the face. I will ask to see the princess later. Don't you want the princess to see the big green bag on my face, right?"

Zhao Zhen waved his hand angrily: "Get out, get out, get out..."

Cai Boqi left and then turned around. Zhao Zhen asked strangely: "When is there any other time? Can you really be beaten?"

Cai Boqi put away the laughter on his face and became serious: "I heard a message that I shouldn't have heard. You and Concubine Yang... This matter is probably not easy to deal with!"

Zhao Zhen's face changed: "Who did you hear?"

Cai Boqi shook his head: "There is no airtight wall in the world, and the black hands know it. Is Wang Yuyan still far away? We have a way to deal with foreign ministers, but I really have no way to deal with Wang Yuyan."

Zhao Zhen was speechless by his words, yes! There are ways to deal with foreign ministers, but how to explain to Wang Yuyan is a headache.

"What's your way to deal with foreign ministers?"

"This is simple. Isn't it said that there is a palace maid who looks very similar to Concubine Yang? She has always been the substitute of Concubine. Just change her identity and imprison her in the palace at the time..."

Zhao Zhen nodded, Cai Boqiu was almost the same as he thought: "This is a good method."

"The officials should be careful of Concubine Yang, after all, she is a Dangxiang person."

"You don't have to worry about this. I not only get her people and hearts, but also use her to confuse Dangxiang people and Li Deming! Dangxiang's land must be taken back to the Song Dynasty, otherwise who will give us horses? How many can there be by importing alone? It would be good if a hundred horses can reach the Song Dynasty."

Cai Boqi nodded and left, but he didn't expect that the official family not only wanted to possess Concubine Yang, but also needed to use her final value. While thinking, he suddenly remembered a sentence: The most ruthless imperial family.

It’s not that Zhao Zhen was ruthless, but as an official in the Song Dynasty, he had no choice but to do anything for the country. Sometimes he had to do whatever he wanted to do for the country. This is the case with the emperor. He had to be ruthless when he should be ruthless, and he must never be vague when he should be affectionate and righteous.

Whenever Zhao Zhen thought about whether he should use Yang Caiwei, he would think of his father's words: "Decisive killing is the way to emperor, but how to use it is a question worth thinking about for a lifetime."

yes!

My father said that, how can you become a decisive king without being controlled by the way of killing?

Where is the balance between being a single husband and loving the world?
