Lu Xiufu really scared Zhao Wei. The Ministry of Rites has always been a department that is very important but in fact it is not that important.

But now, why did you make what Ning Wang said so terrible?

The more you think about it, the more you become more frightened. The more you think about it, the more you think about it, the more you think about what Zhao Wei said.

Originally, diplomacy alone is very confusing, okay?

And on this point, the Song Dynasty had a say more than any dynasty.

Because the three hundred years of the Song Dynasty were supported by diplomacy!

Although this diplomatic achievement is not worth boasting, the Song Dynasty actually gained benefits from it.

Starting from Liao, Xia, then Jin, and then to Mongolia, the Song Dynasty was accustomed to spending money to buy peace and exchanged humiliation of annual monies for peace on the border.

It's really not good-looking in terms of face, but Lu Xiufu knows best that the accounts are not settled so much.

Take the Liao Dynasty as an example. The Song Dynasty paid a price equivalent to 300,000 taels of silver every year in exchange for nearly a hundred years of border peace.

How much money is saved for war? It is far more than the annual monies.

Moreover, this money is not for nothing.

In fact, the money earned from trading with Liaoguo every year is only a fraction of the money.

Do you know how much it is to transport a pot from the Song Dynasty to the north?

Wenyin one hundred taels!

At this price, you can make four pieces of silver pots, which is such a huge profit.

Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages.

The moderate diplomacy with the northern nations made the name of the rich Song Dynasty and made the Song Dynasty the most cowardly. This is understandable.

However, precisely because Lu Xiu understands the diplomatic battles against the northern nations and knows the pros and cons, he can better avoid them, right?

It is indeed very important to summarize the shortcomings of the predecessors and carry forward the benefits of the predecessors. History is indeed very important.

Just as Zhao Wei said, isn’t it important to take down Maya and Aztec without a single soldier?

It’s still what Zhao Wei said about the diplomacy against the enemy.

If I can conquer the enemy with my mouth, then what if Zhang Shijie holds a million-dollar army? Is it important to have me?

Thinking of this, Lu Xiufu suddenly became a little motivated and wanted to do something big immediately.

......

As well as the matter of the mission to Jirigua, Mr. Lu can be said to have been extremely concerned about the matter.

You should know that if the dignified Xianggong Lu was in the past, even if he was on a mission, many details would be left to the people below.

But this time, Lu Xiufu has done everything himself.

From the materials promised to the three kingdoms of Kirigua, to the accompanying personnel, craftsmen, to the details of Kirigua and the surrounding Mayaco city, Lu Xiufu learned a thorough understanding.

He even specially found Zhao Mengxi, summarized all the information and information obtained by the Jinyiwei, and formulated a mission strategy.

After one set, Zhao Wei regretted it a little scared Mr. Lu. This incident was a bit too much.

Even he has not been idle at all these days and has been dominated by Gong Lu.

However, doing this is a good thing, at least it will make the people of the Three Kingdoms of Kirigua feel at ease.

When Zhao Wei made a promise at the wedding banquet, they were a little worried afterwards, for fear that Song Dynasty would not fulfill its promise.

As a result, now it is better, and the Song Dynasty will do what it means and will do what it means. In just a few days, the list of materials, personnel, and specific itineraries were delivered to them.

The departure date was several days earlier than the Three Kingdoms had expected. I have to say that the Song people were indeed very powerful.

The three kings were relieved until this time, and Kirigua was saved!

Only the High Priest Asan of Lanqin Kingdom was a little worried about gains and losses.

Well, I have to say that Asan is a little different from other Indians and thinks a lot.

Da Song was so concerned that she felt a little uncomfortable and even suspicious.

That's King Ning! And Lu Xiufu.

Even if they didn't know much about Fusang Song, the Mayans knew what the two of them were in the Song court.

Now the two of them are on mission together? Do you pay too much attention to it? You won’t have any other intentions, right?

Asan became alert. After all, in her opinion, coming to Dasong for help was to seek help from Hu, which was extremely dangerous.

But there is no way. If you don’t come, Kirigua will really stop existing.

With such a nervous mood, the people of the Three Kingdoms and the Song Dynasty embassy embarked on the journey back to Jirigua.

—————

From Xinya Mountain to Kirigua, you need to walk north along the east coast of Panama and cross nearly a thousand miles of primeval forest. Kirigua is located between a large lake and a river.

Judging from the knowledge of the Song people, Kirigua is not short of water resources, and even the drought in Central America can still survive.

However, it is really weird to guard a river and a lake, they can actually get drought and have no food to eat.

On the middle of the journey, we had to pass the abandoned Kopan City. Zhao Wei agreed to Lanqin to rebuild water conservancy for them in Kopan City.

However, there is no hurry to deal with this matter. Let’s talk about it when you get it done first.

In fact, Zhao Wei is buying time for Mr. Ma.

Shang Ding has been made and handed over to Master Ma Er, but how to bury it and how it is buryed is really like that, it takes time.

Everyone walked towards Jiligua slowly. Most of the Song people rode horses, while the people from the three kingdoms walked.

However, nobles like kings and priests have sedan chairs that look like Sichuan slide poles, which are more comfortable than Zhao Wei and the others.

I can only say that no matter when, technology has the least impact on all nobles. Without technology, you can still enjoy it.

During this period, Asan was suspicious and always paid attention to Zhao Wei. Taking advantage of the boring distance, she asked someone to carry the sedan chair next to Ning Wang's horse and walk alongside Zhao Wei.

"Your Highness!"

Zhao Wei glanced at her and said that he had no disgust for this smart old woman.

He asked with a smile: "The high priest is asking me for something?"

Asanze said, "When you take a break, can you talk to Your Highness again?"

Zhao Wei raised his eyebrows, "What are you saying, can't you say it now?"

As he spoke, he deliberately slowed down his horse and fell behind the team with Asan.

King Lanqin, Lu Xiang and others saw this, and they leaned over without any wits.

Two horses and four sedan chairs were walking slowly.

Well, the Mayans really don’t have the eyesight!

Zhao Wei had no choice, and he didn't know if what Asan was going to say was a secret matter.

He smiled bitterly, "It's actually pretty good to talk while walking. But... there are a few more people."

Asan didn't mind, what she wanted to say didn't mean to be anyone behind her back.

"It's okay, as long as your highness doesn't feel rude."

Zhao Wei: "I never stick to etiquette. What do the high priest say? Let's say it!"

Asan pondered for a moment, as if he was organizing the language. After a long time, "I heard from the Song people that I usually don't use such a noble existence as Ning Wang when I go on a mission."

Zhao Wei was happy, "Because I value it!"

"It is precisely because of this that I really don't want to see Maya disappear. Really, believe me, you will be ruined by natural disasters."

“…”

“…”

“…”

Everyone lowered their heads and said nothing. Zhao Wei thought they didn't believe what they said, and wanted to say something else.

But unexpectedly, Asan said very heavily: "We believe in Your Highness's sincerity, because we also believe that Maya will be destroyed by natural disasters."

"Oh?" This surprised Zhao Wei very much, "Do you believe it?"

"Believe! And as expected by the Song Dynasty, we actually foresee the changes in the weather."

"What?" Zhao Wei was even more surprised, "No?"

Asan smiled bitterly, "Actually, I do know something without your highness. In our Copan's calendar and records, there will be a very regular climate change every few years. However, sometimes it lasts for a long time, sometimes it lasts for a short time, only a few years, and it will pass after one court. This time, it is the longest cycle."

Zhao Wei: "..."

Well, the Mayans are really insulting.

He said inexplicably: "So, you have also experienced a long period of climate change?"

"right!"
