"Well! If Jiang Chen doesn't get rid of it for a day, the original minister will be uneasy. If you let him continue to torture it, the original minister will probably have no one to be available and the aspect will be lost."

Cai Jingdan rubbed his eyebrows in pain and ordered: "You must hurry up the purchase of autumn grains, and the grain storage in the hands of the people has also been collected. The price can be increased appropriately. Never cause trouble and alarm the enemy."

"yes!"

Wang Hanzhi and Wu Juhou bowed their orders and quickly implemented the implementation, purchasing the people's autumn grain reserves at a high price.

When the news reached Jiang Chen's ears, the autumn harvest ceremony had ended. Liu Yanqing and Xin Xingzhong had already led 50,000 troops to Jiangnan. The sisters Zhu Lian and Zhu Fengying also became the qualifying princess and the qualifying princess.

The excited Zhu Yinian paid tribute to his ancestors, and then had a banquet, and he also brought Jiang Chen to the store every day.

Jiang Chen was so annoyed, but in the face of Zhu Yinian's enthusiasm and Zhu Lian, Zhu Fengying's expectations were really hard to refuse, and he drank very tired every night.

Fortunately, in order to reform the Confucian foreign policy, Song Huizong granted him the official position of the Ministry of Rites as the home and guest (Fifth rank) and asked him to assist Lu Yihao in formulating new regulations, so he was able to escape.

...

On the morning court the next day after Jiang Chen obtained the position of home and guest, after the discussion was completed, Song Huizong sent the new diplomatic regulations to the civil and military officials.

He said without seeing the joy and anger: "This is a new diplomatic rule formulated by Liangchen and Lu Yihao and other officials of the Ministry of Rites. Please see if it is appropriate."

"kindness?"

"New diplomatic regulations?"

Everyone looked at Jiang Chen with strange expressions.

Kong Duanyou directly turned his face and opened it to read it.

The more he looked, the darker his old face became. In the end, he couldn't help but raise his beard and said angrily:

"Appoint an audit department to estimate the value of the items carried out by the state? Then return the gifts in a reciprocal way? If the gifts are of no value, then give Confucian books?

What are you treating my Holy Gate’s scriptures as?

What do you think of the diplomatic affairs of our great Celestial Kingdom as? Is the business field of the Royal Chamber of Commerce?"

Kong Duanyou was almost furious and stared at Jiang Chen with a bad look.

"Not bad! How can our vast country implement this policy? Wouldn't it be a joke and make the country's friends and neighbors not ashamed?"

"I am right! Otherwise, what is my face in the Song Dynasty? What is my face in the court officials?"

Zhao Youkai, Ma Zheng, Wang Shizhong and others from the Ministry of Rites all jumped out, with a firm attitude and positive opposition.

"Hmph! What is your face?

Is your face to squander the national treasury and give the wealth of the country and the people to the Gentiles?

If you just take a few pieces of broken fur bites from insect-bearing rats, you can exchange thousands of treasury money for thousands of treasury money. You can also deceive yourself by saying that what others contributed was a foolish behavior of national treasures, and your face?

What is the difference between your idiotic practice and treason?

Why don’t I see you having such kindness towards the people of the Song Dynasty?”

Jiang Chen scolded coldly.

Confucian foreign policy, pure acts of harming oneself and benefiting others, besides allowing a few people to gain international reputation, will harm the country and the people without any benefit;

It can even allow every Gentile to enjoy super-national treatment when they come to Yanxia. Yanxia people have become grandsons and targets of bullying and suppression on their own territory.

This is simply incomprehensible and even more unacceptable!

Jiang Chen dared to be angry but not speak out in his previous life, but in this life he must change this shit behavior that distorts the national soul.

"Bold! How dare you insult Yan Shenggong?"

Zhao Youkai rolled up his sleeves directly, and he was respectful to Kong Duanyou as a god, and could not stand Jiang Chen's repeated rudeness to Kong Duanyou again and again, not to mention that it also involved his personal interests.

Ma Zheng and Wang Shizhong, who were also harmed by interests, also angrily said: "Jiang Chen, diplomatic strategies are rules set by our ancestors. Do you want to say that our ancestors are also treasoning the country?"

"Yes, you are simply disrespectful to your ancestors and do not be a son of man!"

Kong Duanyou scolded loudly.

"I'm not disrespecting my ancestors! I'm just disrespecting my ancestors of your old Confucius family!

Because of this kind of Confucian diplomatic strategy that makes my Yanxia people lose their dignity frequently in front of the Gentiles is the strategy of ruining the country by the ancestors of your old Confucius family and disciples using the so-called saint's words.

Of course, this is also the secret to keep your Kong family prosperous for thousands of years!"

Jiang Chen looked contemptuous and directly competed with Kong Duanyou.

"You...you are such a treacherous villain, you are simply a heart-killing word, a heart-killing word!"

Kong Duanyou was angry and looked at Jiang Chen with resentment.

"Are you a heart-killing word?"

Jiang Chen sneered: "I ask you, since your old Confucius family always says that diplomacy should pay attention to benevolence, righteousness and morality, why not preach the Gentile envoys and tell them not to be petty and ask for excessive demands?

But he will only persuade monarchs of all generations with the words of a saint, and blindly make me suffer a loss in Yanxia? Do you old Confucius family have a grudge against this nation?

This is not selling the country and nation, so what is it to selling the country and nation?"

"This is reasonable!"

Lu Yihao praised loudly and said to Kong Duanyou: "Gentiles all say that they respect your Kong family and are proud of learning the Confucian etiquette of your Kong family. Every time they come to pay a visit, they go to Kong's house to send gifts and ask for advice.

But do they really respect Confucianism or are they fake?

If it is true, why are you willing to take advantage of diplomacy but not as important as the Song Dynasty?”

"Just! My Song Dynasty is a great country. How can I be so stingy with the envoys of the small country? After it was spread, what is the reputation of the country of etiquette? What is the reputation of the official family?"

Kong Duanyou looked disdainful and directly acted like a rich and rich man.

"A country of etiquette does not necessarily have to suffer losses and be deceived, and is regarded as a fool and sucker!"

Li Gang frowned and said in a loud and small voice.

As a disciple of Confucianism, he must have supported Confucianism between Li and Confucianism.

However, in the face of Confucianism and national interests, he firmly chose the latter and decided to support Jiang Chen in changing his foreign policy.

Even because of Jiang Chen's words, he doubted the Kong family's firm advocacy of Confucianism and diplomacy.

Mei Zhili was also in his heart as well as Li Gang. He said in a tactful tone: "I agree with the so-called valuation of Jiang Shaoqing and the equivalent valuation of the return of the valuation.

As a country above the Celestial Empire, we do not bully the small and do equally with the state. Isn’t this in line with the etiquette?”

"Not bad! Master Mei's explanation!

If we treat everything from foreign envoys to offer, we will treat it equally, give it generously to the gold and give it to it with great gifts, I am afraid that everyone will only offer national treasures that only Lord Kong can know when they come to pay homage!”

As Jiang Chen spoke, he looked at Kong Duanyou with satisfaction and mockingness, and said with a slight smile: "Many Gentile envoys have come to see me these days, but they have sent a lot of generous gifts!

I heard that it is all for you, the Kong family and all the remaining ones, so let everyone see it together today!”
