Chapter 1009: A Country of Etiquette

The next morning, the Xiqu delegation was about to leave.

Yun Zheng came personally to see him off and presented him with ten jars of fine wine.

This is a real drunkard!

Yun Zheng said solemnly: "These ten jars are the finest wines that I have stored for many years. They are more than a hundred times more precious than the wines we drank at the previous banquet! Please send them to Saint King Sangjie on my behalf. If there is a chance in the future, I will not leave until I am drunk with Saint King Sangjie!"

"I thank you on behalf of the Holy King!"

Su Zan bowed and saluted, but he was extremely disdainful in his heart.

A hundred times more precious than the previous wine?

He doesn't believe it!

He even suspected that Yun Zheng had poisoned the wine!

Before the Holy King tastes the wine, he must have someone test it first!

"You are so polite!"

Yun Zheng smiled and said, "Our Daqian is a country of etiquette, and we always pay attention to courtesy and reciprocity!"

A land of etiquette?

Go to your grandma’s country of etiquette?

What kind of country with etiquette can produce such a sinister, cunning and shameless thing like you?

Su Zan cursed in his heart, but his face was full of smiles, "I'll take my leave first! If there is a chance in the future, I will drink and chat with the prince again!"

"well!"

Yun Zheng nodded repeatedly, "Grand Prime Minister and everyone else, take care. I won't see you off any further!"

As he spoke, Yun Zheng winked at Chen Bu.

Chen Bu understood and immediately handed over the pass.

"My lord, stay!"

Su Zan forced a smile, bowed to Yun Zheng, and left with everyone.

Looking at the team gradually moving away, Yun Zheng couldn't help but smile wickedly.

If Sangjie could die from drinking, these ten jars of "fine wine" would have been a great success.

However, even if Sanjay can't be killed by drinking, it would be good to make him feel uncomfortable for a while.

"Okay, let's all disperse!"

Yun Zheng got on his horse and told Chen Bu, "Since the quarry has already been opened, send more people to quarry!"

"Yes!"

Chen Bu gladly accepted the order and reminded Yun Zheng: "Your Highness, the Baishui River will soon begin to thaw, and those water trucks must hurry up..."

Yun Zheng nodded: "Don't worry! Before the spring ploughing, a large number of new water-turning trucks will be delivered!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Bu nodded happily.

Shuobei has been fighting for three consecutive years!

It’s time to stop and develop people’s livelihood!

With these new water-turning wheels, a lot more land can be irrigated.

"How was your conversation with the other members of the Xiqu delegation?"

At this time, Yun Zheng asked Chen Bu again.

"It was a good conversation, wasn't it?"

Chen Bu showed a sly smile on his face, "Among them there is a person named Chi Ru, we should be able to communicate more!"

"Then I'll leave this matter to you!" Yun Zheng smiled with satisfaction, "As long as he can get some food, we'll have plenty of wine!"

"I understand!"

Chen Bu laughed.

They gained a lot from the visit of the Xiqu delegation.

It was worth the few days of smiling.

When they returned, Su Zan also left quickly with his men.

Ten miles away from Shuofang, Su Zan immediately called Danqu and ordered, "Take fifty people with you and return as quickly as possible. Have someone collect food and send it to the Sawtooth Ridge area! Also, send someone to deliver this agreement to the Daqian Imperial City!"

As he spoke, Su Zan handed the agreement he had signed with Yun Zheng to Dan Qu.

"Why?"

Danqu asked in confusion.

"madness!"

Su Zan glared at Dan Qu and explained in a low voice: "Yun Zheng is just the governor of Shuobei. Why did he sign this agreement with our dynasty? This is his rebellious intention, do you understand?"

"I see!"

Danqu suddenly realized and quickly accepted the agreement, "Then we will return first, Prime Minister, take care on your journey!"

"Go!"

Su Zan gently waved his hand, "Don't worry, Yun Zheng won't kill us! We must collect food as soon as possible, otherwise we will be detained forever!"

"Yes!"

Danqu took the order, quickly called fifty people, and quickly left the team.

Looking at Danqu and others going away, Su Zan couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Last night, he tossed and turned until dawn without sleeping a wink.

But until now, whenever he thought of the horrific scene in the quarry, he still couldn't fall asleep at all.

He had already learned from Yun Zheng that the thing was not called thunder, but dynamite.

The power of explosives is truly terrifying!

Perhaps, the cost of the explosives was indeed very high, but it was definitely not as high as Yun Zheng said.

Once Yun Zheng uses a large amount of explosives on the battlefield, there will probably be no city in the world that can withstand the power of explosives.

Unfortunately, when he proposed to buy some explosives, Yun Zheng refused to agree.

No matter what price he offered, Yun Zheng's attitude was extremely firm.

This weapon with the power to destroy the world is truly terrifying!

We must find a way to find out how this explosive is made.

In addition, they had to find a way to keep the Northwest Protectorate in chaos, so that Yun Zheng would be trapped in the quagmire of civil strife and unable to extricate himself.

We must also find a way to plunge Daqian into civil war.

Even if Yun Zheng does not launch a rebellion, he must find a way to stir up conflict between Yun Zheng and the Daqian court, let the Daqian court see the threat posed by Yun Zheng, and unite with the Daqian court to eliminate Yun Zheng's forces in one fell swoop!

We must not allow Yun Zheng to continue to grow bigger!

Otherwise, once Yun Zheng takes the initiative to attack Xiqu, Xiqu will definitely be defeated!

After returning this time, I have to go on a diplomatic mission to the Daqian Imperial City as soon as possible!

Countless thoughts popped up in Su Zan's mind, all of which were ideas about how to deal with Yun Zheng.

Although they signed a peace agreement with Yun Zheng, the threat posed by Yun Zheng has not diminished at all, but has instead become more and more severe!

……

After parting with Chen Bu and the others, Yun Zheng returned to the palace.

"Your Highness, have all the wine heads been sent out?"

Upon seeing Yun Zheng, Zhang Xu, who had been waiting in the palace, immediately ran up to ask.

"Sure!"

Yun Zheng laughed and blinked, "That's the finest wine that has been stored for many years! It's a gift for Sangjie, there's no reason for them to refuse it!"

"Haha! These drunkards are definitely enough for Sanjie to drink a pot of wine!"

Zhang Xu also laughed, "It would be even better if Sang Jie drank himself to death!"

Depend on!

How come this birdman has the same idea as me?

Yun Zheng smiled at Zhang Xu and said, "Alright, let's not talk about this for now! We are going to Fuzhou in the next few days. Do you have a lot of things to do? If not, come with us to Fuzhou."

"This……"

Zhang Xu's smile came to an abrupt end.

After thinking silently for a moment, Zhang Xu shook his head and said, "I can't leave for the time being. I still have to supervise the construction of the waterwheel to see if I can improve it further..."

Although they had already improved the waterwheel before.

But Zhang Xu felt that there was still room for improvement in the water-turning wheel.

In addition, he also has to wait for the river to thaw to further verify whether the water-turning truck is reliable. If there are any problems, they must be resolved in a timely manner!

Otherwise, when a large number of water-turning wheels were manufactured, problems would arise when they were used, which would not only waste the materials and time for making the water-turning wheels, but also delay spring ploughing.

Starting this year, farming has become the top priority of Shuobei and Northwest Protectorate.

"Is that so?"

Yun Zheng thought for a moment and said, "Thank you for your hard work! We may stay in Fuzhou for a while longer this time. If you are done with your work, you can come to Fuzhou to find us!"

"it is good!"

Zhang Xu nodded in agreement...
