    Drinking peach juice and honey water, Lu Sen said slowly: "I don't know if I can know personal details?"

    "Of course." Luo Jixiang said generously: "Since I want to ask Master Lu for a map of the sea route, I will naturally not hide it from you."

    At present, Luo Jixiang explained the reasons and conclusions of the discussions among the officials of the three envoys.

    Spices at this time in the Northern Song Dynasty were extremely expensive, and most of them were transported by Semu people.

    In addition, the Semu people kept the source of the spices extremely secret, and did not let the Song people know at all.

    Because this is the only bulk cargo they can hedge against silk and ceramic trade.

    As for other high-grade weapons, multicolored glass, and rare treasures, they are just icing on the cake.

    According to the annual accounting of Quanzhou, Hangzhou, Guangzhou and other municipal shipping departments, although Dasong is now enjoying a trade surplus with the outside world, spices have indeed wiped out about 40% of the profits of shipping.

    In other words, people in the Song Dynasty spent at least 10 million yuan a year on buying spices for seasoning.

    There are still many people who evade taxes and evade taxes, resulting in a lesser result.

    And if the imperial court can grasp the source of spices, then the Song Dynasty will not only spend a lot less money in the future, but may even export spices to the north.

    You know, the two neighbors in the north actually want spices very much.

    It's just that their land transportation is extremely inconvenient, even the tea from the Song Dynasty is expensive to transport there, not to mention the spices!

    It can be said that although the Northern Song Dynasty was rich, the court spent money like water. The main reason was that the military expenditure was relatively large. In order to prevent the two neighbors in the north, a large number of soldiers were hoarded and a large number of ordnance was forged, like a bottomless pit.

    But at the same time, he is extremely guarded against generals.

    The task of the third division envoy is very simple. Since it is impossible to reduce expenditure, he is responsible for open source.

    Spices are an excellent business, but any Song people with some common sense know that this is an excellent 'source'.

    After listening to Luo Jixiang's words, Lu Sen thought silently.

    And Luo Jixiang was not in a hurry, drinking honey water while admiring the surrounding scenery very leisurely.

    After a long while, Lu Sen raised his head slightly and asked, "How much does the third division want to achieve? Do you have a better plan?"

    "What is a better plan?" Luo Jixiang was a little puzzled.

    "There are natives on the Spice Islands, how does the court get along with them?"

    "The climate over there is hot and humid, full of poisonous insects, the first batch of pioneers, how to ensure their own safety?"

    "Does the third division plan to colonize the raw material area for a long time, or harvest a wave every year and leave?"

    "How to maintain the safety of sea freight lines?"

    Lu Sen asked several questions in succession.

    Luo Jixiang's face was gradually shocked, and then he smiled a little embarrassedly: "So there is such a saying?"

    "It seems that you didn't make any preparations." Lu Sen turned his gaze to the door of his house. He remembered that the other party brought two semu people over: "That's it, how dare you come to ask me for a sea road map? He even brought two  When the Semu people come here, aren¡¯t they afraid that the flight route will be revealed? Will the Semu people know about it and then occupy it?¡±

    "Hehehe!" Luo Jixiang smeared his beard quite complacently, and said with a smile: "Regarding this matter, please rest assured Lu Zhenren. The elders of the two Semu people came from afar, and they have given birth to two generations in the Song Dynasty.  They are more eloquent than us, and they have read a lot of poetry and books. They are not barbarians since they are called "Pu".  There has been great progress.¡±

    ? Even though the foreign military suffered successive defeats, the Northern Song Dynasty still had the demeanor of "the kingdom of heaven" rooted in the blood.

    It is not normal for Yi people to come to the Song Dynasty, accept their heads and worship, and regard the Great Song Dynasty as their country.

    In his opinion, these two Semu people are already half Song people, so they are naturally credible.

    After finally changing from barbarians to Song people, will they return to barbarians? This is impossible!

    However, Lu Sen's expression suddenly became a little cold: "Their surname is 'Pu'?"

    How could Luo Jixiang not notice the drastic change in Lu Sen's face after thirty years of tossing and turning in the officialdom?

    He asked suspiciously: "Is there something wrong with the surnames of these two people?"

    "I don't like this surname when I hear it." Lu Sen stood up and said, "Luo Jixiang, you should make more preparations for the sea road map, and I personally think that you must not let anyone look at you."  People get involved in this thing."

    Seeing Lu Sen's unhappy appearance, Luo Jixiang was thoughtful.

    He has also heard that spells havebsp; He can even sell Zhan Zhao's favor.

    Although Luo Zhao doesn't value the favor of the small headhunter.

    Lu Sen didn't know that Zhan Zhao had already started to investigate those two Semu people. He had been thinking about whether to find a way to get rid of Pu Shi these two people these days, or drive them out of Song Dynasty and let their descendants  , never enter the country.

    It's justhow can I find a reason?

    This Pu family already has a registered permanent residence, so he is from the Song Dynasty. If he behaves recklessly, Bao Zheng will have a difficult time.

    He thought about it, and in the spare time of waiting for the palace gate to open the next morning, he took the initiative to find Bao Zheng.

    "Yin Baofu, I think the two Semu people are not happy, but they have the household registration of our Great Song Dynasty. If we want to drive them away from the Great Song Dynasty, is it feasible?"

    "Of course not, how can innocent people be oppressed like this." When Bao Zheng spoke, he spoke in a serious, upright and serious manner: "However, if these two color-eyed people have even the slightest bit of stealing, they will be fine."  You are not worthy of being a citizen of my Great Song Dynasty."

    "Well said." Lu Sen couldn't help applauding gently.  </div&gt
