502 gold beads, a conflict of interests
Exchange three cities for the life of the Queen Mother?
"Then the old witch's life is also worth three cities?" The Emperor of Northern Qi looked uncertain, but he didn't have a seizure, took a deep breath, and said, "That's it, forget it." ”
Ji Nuo is not wrong, keeping the three cities in the west in hand, it will be easy to destroy the King of Qin in the future.
"Yes, Your Majesty." The man bowed and retreated.
Turning around, in Ji Nuo's room, a small palace maid stepped forward and said, "Son, the matter didn't work out, and there was no response over there." With that, he retreated.
Ji Nuo propped his head with his right hand and frowned: "King Qin disagrees, is he afraid that he won't be able to kill the regent or the three cities in the west are worthless?" As for Wu Yuzhi, it is completely out of the scope of Ji Nuo's consideration.
Wu Yuzhi is in the hands of Qin Xiaoyan, even the regent can't find anyone, and Qin Xiaoyan wants to take Wu Yuzhi's life, it's just a matter of one sentence.
"Someone," Ji Nuo shouted, and a gray-clothed guard immediately came in outside, "Childe." Listening to the voice, it was the person who followed Qin Xiaoyan that night and was discovered by Qin Xiaoyan.
"Go and find out, what are the three cities?" It is worth King Qin to speak personally.
In the post station, Qin Lianyan was telling Gu Qiancheng about the conditions of the Northern Qi Emperor, and Gu Qiancheng gave Qin Qianyan a thumbs up after hearing this: "Fortunately, you didn't agree, the three cities in the west are not of much use, and they don't need to come if you want to come." ”
"Oh...... What is the use of the three cities in the east? Qin Shiyan took the opportunity to ask.
When it comes to this, Gu Qiancheng will be fake if he pretends again, looking at Qin Xiaoyan with a smile, and looking at Qin Xiaoyan as empty-hearted, thinking that Gu Qiancheng is unhappy, but after thinking about it, he can't understand it anymore: why is he weak-hearted? It was Gu Qiancheng who was hiding things and not talking about him.
But......
He just can't do it with a weak heart, it's simply unreasonable.
Gu Qiancheng accepted it when he saw it, retracted his eyes, and said: "In the early years, the six cities in the desert were not from Northern Qi, but an independent country, Yiguo. Although the country of Iraq is small, it is known as the pearl of the desert, it is surrounded by the largest oasis and lake in the desert, the lake is rich in golden pearls, the people of Iraq rely on the oasis and the lake to survive, although it is not prosperous but peaceful.
Later, some nomads, the predecessors of the Northern Qi Dynasty, coveted the pearls of the Yi country, raised troops to attack the Yi country, and slaughtered the people of the six cities of the Yi country. It is said that the blood of the people of Iraq stained the lake outside Iraq, of course, this is just a legend, after all, the population of Iraq is not large, even if everyone's blood is drained, it is impossible to stain a lake red. ”
At this time, Gu Qiancheng still did not forget to use a scientific attitude to test the remarks in the certificate.
"After the nomads occupied the country, they exploited the gold beads in the lakes on a large scale, so that the gold beads in the market were rotten and the price dropped, and because of the over-exploitation of the gold beads by the people, the gold beads became smaller and smaller, so that after ten years, the gold beads could no longer be mined.
Unable to harvest gold beads, the nomads continued their original lives, grazing cattle on the oases. They had money to find a lot of cattle and sheep, but the oasis had limited meadows, and it took time to grow grass, so the cattle and sheep ate so much grass that the oasis grew smaller and smaller, and finally it was all covered by desert, including the lake. This is Gu Qiancheng's scientific explanation, and the record in the book is that the people of Yi who died in vain were unwilling to come back and ask for their lives, flooding the oasis and the lake.
With such unscientific remarks, Gu Qiancheng didn't say anything to Qin Xiaoyan, and after talking about the origin of the six deserted cities, Gu Qiancheng said that he wanted the three eastern cities.
"According to records, the three eastern cities of Yiguo are the places where the royal family and nobles live, and there is a gold mine underneath, not to mention, there are also the best gold beads mined in Iraq over the years, and gold beads that have been pressed and not sold." Rao is Gu Qiancheng also had to praise the wisdom of Emperor Yi.
So long ago I knew what hunger marketing was, and I knew what it meant to be a strange commodity to live in.
The reason why gold beads are liked by nobles from all over the world is because of its scarcity, and later those nomadic people frantically mined gold beads into the market, making the gold beads instantly drop in price.
"Gold beads and gold mines? Have we found a treasure? Qin Xiaoyan's eyes lit up, and his heart beat a few beats faster.
He hadn't thought that the three ruined cities would be of such a useful use.
"It's definitely a treasure, with the disappearance of that oasis and lake, there are no gold beads on the market, only some old goods in the past, and there are very few large ones, to find the batch of gold beads that Yi Guo hid back then, we can make a lot of money." Gu Qiancheng had known it for a long time, but he couldn't help but feel a little excited when he said it at this time.
Of course, excitement is excitement, and the benefits still have to be reaped......
Gu Qiancheng put his hands on his cheeks, stared at Qin Shiyan with wide eyes, and silently told his prayers.
"Why do you think of me like that?" Qin Shiyan's defensively tensed up.
Gu Qiancheng looked at him as if he was looking at a slaughtered pig, although this metaphor was a little bit more appropriate, but Qin Xiaoyan couldn't think of a more appropriate one for a while.
"His Royal Highness Qin......" Gu Qiancheng opened his mouth sweetly, his voice was soft, but Qin was silent but cold for no reason, "Qiancheng, you have something to say." "It's so weird and scary.
"Your Highness is refreshing, I'm not welcome," Gu Qiancheng was really unkind, and said directly: "If the three cities can be obtained, I can also make a little effort, how about I take one percent of the income from the gold beads and gold mines?" ”
"Draw a percent?" Is that what he thinks?
"Does Your Highness think it's too much? Or half of it. "Gu Qiancheng took the initiative to make profits, who made the technical talents worthless in these years.
"No, Ben...... And the king wanted to say, Are thou very short of silver? "Whoever lacks silver, Gu Qiancheng will not be short either.
Gu Qiancheng has a million dowry, and there are ...... The members of the official money bank of Daqin will not be able to spend the annual dividends at that time.
Although, these are all in his hands now, but isn't his Gu Qiancheng's? What's the difference?
"There's no shortage, but no one thinks there's a lot of silver, right?" Gu Qiancheng said it confidently, without a trace of embarrassment.
She is not greedy for money, but she will not let go of the opportunity to make money, and it is also a good thing to take the opportunity to collect some gold beads.
"You are right, no matter how much silver you have, you can spend it, but it's just ......" Qin Xiaoyan paused, waiting for Gu Qiancheng to take the initiative to ask, but Gu Qiancheng was not in a hurry at all, Qin Xiaoyan waited for a long time and didn't wait, quite helpless, "You girl is really a headache, can't you be stupid and take the initiative to ask?" ”
"Oh......" Gu Qiancheng responded, and said kindly: "Just what?" ”
Although it was deliberate, it could be regarded as an alternative fun, Qin Shiyan didn't mind, and said evilly: "It's just that I thought that whether it is a gold bead or a gold mine, it belongs to the two of us, no matter what you get, you will always have to share half, but I didn't expect you to only need half of it, it's really ...... It's a pity. The end dragged on for a long time, with unspeakable regret......
