The last conscience of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 215 You Scare Me
Xiao Bao first heard the price mentioned by Liang Xin and thought he had heard it wrong.

"You, how much did you say?"

"The same weight of gold starts at five times."

Xiao Baoxian asked again: "Big horse, or small horse... No, no."

After asking, Xiao Baoxian felt that he was stupid for asking. Liang Xin said that it was at least five times the weight, so it didn't matter whether the horse was big or small.Purple is not a rare color. An ordinary small horse costs only a few thousand Song Dynasty coins, which is more than one tael in silver.

Converted to gold by weight...

For the first time, Xiao Baoxian had another thought about the power and wealth of the Tang Dynasty.

Could it be that the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty depended on the Silk Road in the Western Regions.

Liang Xin: "Khitan Prime Minister, Mount Tai? Silk Road?"

Xiao Baoxian smiled: "We can do it ourselves."

"Try it." Liang Xin's eyes became sharp.

Xiao Bao asked first: "Then you threaten me first and let me listen."

Liang Xin: "I never threaten people, I only let people know how scary I am. If you Khitan people step into the Anxi Protector's Mansion, I will bulldoze your Xijin Mansion. I, the Great Song Dynasty, can't get Yanyun back. But it doesn’t mean that I can’t destroy your Xijin Mansion. Or, I can bulldoze the Xijin Mansion first, and then we can sit down and talk again.”

"Insanity!"

"Come on, you Khitans are now strong on the outside and strong on the inside. Take the current matter as an example, if you can mobilize a hundred thousand troops to the border, Xixia will not be so quick to surrender. You...can't mobilize."

What Liang Xin said is true.

Liang Xin continued: "You Khitan has a population of 900 million. Do you really think that those people on the grassland are still so obedient, as well as the Jurchens? Our Song country has a population of [-] million, and let's talk about the money in our pockets. Don't talk about me, the Song Dynasty, just me." The Liang family plus the Cao family are stronger than your entire Khitan nation."

"You who are weak are counting the days until the country is overthrown. If you don't accept it, I'll see you on the battlefield."

"Come here, give me this little baby, and if you say a word of dissatisfaction, I will write a letter right now to bulldoze the Xijin Mansion of your Khitan people. As the Khitan Prime Minister, what can you do? Once the war starts, no matter whether you win or lose, you Khitan A country will fall apart.”

"And I, with the Western Army in hand, carry the power of victory."

Xiao Baoxian never expected that he would be frightened by a little doll.

As the Prime Minister of Khitan, he is very aware of Khitan's current national strength.

Think about it, the courtiers who rose to power by rolling the dice, each of these guys is more greedy than the last.

At present, it is impossible for a hundred thousand troops to gather immediately.

There are currently 40 Song troops fighting against Xixia.

With these troops, if they don't attack, just bulldoze the Xijin Mansion, and then retreat to the Song Dynasty for defense, there is really nothing they can do.

The Song Dynasty and the Khitan fought several wars over the past 100 years.

Whoever attacks will lose.

What if the Khitan was defeated?

However, Xiao Baoxian was very calm: "Such a war is not something that a little kid like you can push forward."

"Okay, just wait for the letter from Xijin Mansion." After Liang Xin finished speaking, she got up and walked out.

Xiao Bao was stunned by this reaction.

"Wait, wait a minute."

"It's too late, it's too late. I'll let the Xijin Mansion shed some blood, and it will appear that I'm threatening you. I said I never threaten anyone, I will only let people see how scary I am."

After Liang Xin finished speaking, she really ignored Xiao Baoxian and left.Why?
Xiao Baoxian was really confused.

A little doll, why?

Just because he is Liang Shicheng's son, just because he is the son-in-law of the Cao family?

Just kidding.

Xiao Baoxian is not so confident anymore.

Hurry up and call out Xiao Yuanfeng who is watching the Lingyou Palace Examination in the main hall.

When Xiao Yuanfeng heard this, he frowned: "Xiangguo, I'm afraid you will give in this time. This brother Shen is more favored than you think. He is favored by his father Liang Shicheng. He will give him whatever he wants. Also, His father-in-law, Cao Ping, said that many people in Bianjing City spoke ill of the Liang family. Cao Ping led his troops to kill the Xixia Iron Harriers, and the Cao family's charcoal shop was almost free, giving out charcoal to many people in winter."

"This..." Xiao Baoxian didn't expect it either.

Xiao Yuanfeng continued: "The third one, I'm afraid you won't expect it. It's the Emperor of Song. He will grant whatever he likes to the Emperor of Song. Of course, he is also very good at pleasing the Emperor of Song. When you see Lingyou's palace examination, he is trying to please the Emperor of Song." Emperor's."

Xiao Bao was silent first.

Xiao Yuanfeng: "As for my son Fengxian, the biggest pressure they put on the Xixia people was not on the battlefield, but they gave the Xixia people a gift. The Song Dynasty's firearms are already unique in the world. This kind of firearm can break armor, and the iron kite can The armor of the Song people cannot stop them. The armor of the Song Dynasty and the arrows, knives and hammers of our Khitans are all useless."

"But the Emperor of the Song Dynasty..."

Xiao Yuanfeng: "You mean, this Lingyou Palace Examination. The emperor is absurd, but that does not mean that the courtiers are absurd. The new Privy Councilor Lu Huiqing, according to many celebrities in the Song Dynasty, has extremely bad character, but he is an associate of the Liang family. It was he who promoted the war in Xiazhou and won consecutive battles. Tell me, does he dare to attack Xijin Mansion with firearms and retreat after the fight, waiting for us to go south? "

Xiao Bao stopped talking.

He regretted a little. He should have had an in-depth talk with Xiao Yuanfeng, a waste in his eyes, and then meet Liang Xin.

It was because he was a little impatient.

Because the emperor's grandson may be the emperor now and is waiting for his reply.

Xiao Yuanfeng said: "Okay, Prime Minister, don't worry. I will handle this for you. My son will make friends with Liang Xin first and invite him to play mahjong in the evening. Do you have any treasures with you for gifts?"

"The majesty of my great Khitan?"

"If the Jin Mansion was bombed by the Song Dynasty's firearms for a few days, who would still believe in our prestige? We are not as strong as before."

Xiao Yuanfeng knew very well that their Khitans were already very weak.

After two consecutive absurd emperors and civil strife, the emperor's grandson was almost killed.

At the moment, all the important ministers in the court are thinking about how to make money. The Song Kingdom has at least one Wang Anshi seeking change, but the Khitan nobles are still thinking about how to make money.

That night, Xiao Fengxian made an appointment with Liang Xin to play mahjong and prepared a gift.

When they met, Xiao Fengxian said: "Brother Xin, do you know who Xiao Baoxian is?"

Liang Xin asked, "Does he know who I am, who my father is, and who my father-in-law is?"

"That's right, you should keep this gift first. We have such a good friendship that the old guy messed with you, but I didn't mess with you. You can't touch the Xijin Mansion. My father's official position will be reduced if he touches it. But, by the way, Do you really have a way to move the Jin Mansion?"

Liang Xin smiled: "Are you trying to trick me?"

"That's right. Since I'm giving you such a precious gift, I'll tell you a little bit."

Liang Xin gestured at the size of a watermelon with her hand: "Such a big iron ball, if shot at Brother Richard at the speed of an arrow, can shoot up to seven miles away. What do you think Brother Richard would do if he stood about a hundred steps away?" Woolen cloth."

"So big!" Xiao Feng also gestured first, and then looked at Brother Richard.

Brother Richard became angry instantly: "Why are you comparing yourself to me?"
