Chapter 1105: East Becomes West (98)
"Knock to the king!" This is the second time that Tan Feng has stepped into the black ice platform, the last time was when King Qin Wulie summoned him, he had come in once, and when he crossed the realm, it was also a matter of right and wrong. The black ice platform has changed greatly, compared to the previous reign of King Qin Wulie, this black palace was empty, now this palace is full, the curtain layers, rare wood, incense soft couch, everything is available.
"Get up, Tan Feng, you are from the north, you have been in the south for so long, but you are still used to staying?" Ying Ying, the current King of Qin Wei looked at Tan Feng in front of him and said with a smile.
"Weichen is a soldier, wherever he goes, he can quickly adapt to the local environment, the north has the good of the north, the south has the wonder of the south, each is good at it, it depends on how the individual treats him!" Tan Feng Dao.
"Well said!" Ying Ying clapped her hands and smiled: "It's good to get used to it, you are a talent that your father told you to reuse before his death, and the Lone King will not forget this."
"The first king really praised me too much." Tan Feng bowed his head and said humbly.
"Father values you, but Tan Feng, you also know that you and Zhou Yu suddenly jumped to the sky in the Qin Kingdom, when the father was in the past, there was the prestige of the father, and he had nothing to do, but the lone king has just ascended the throne, but he doesn't have the ability of his father to speak his word, so he can't take care of you at all times like his father, these days, there are already many people who are making noise about the two of you at the court meeting." Ying Yingdao.
"The king is troubled. The ministers will do their best to do things for Daqin." Tan Feng said in a low voice.
"Well, it's best if you understand this, if you can make a great contribution to the Qin State, then naturally there will be no one to gossip. Now there is basically no possibility of conflict between us and the Chu State, and Huang Xie, the first assistant of the Chu State, also sent an envoy to come over secretly to discuss with us the matter of dealing with the Han State, so on the border of Qin and Chu, we have no need to gather so many large troops, I am ready to transfer you to the Han land to be stationed, where is the Northern Field Army Group of the Han Army stationed now, Xu Yuan's person must be clear, he is completely a human war maniac, although we signed a peace agreement with the Han State, but the provocations of the Han army there are happening all the time, The current defenders are not dealing well, and I hope you go there and be able to salvage some of the situation."
"Your Majesty understands!" Tan Feng nodded. A large-scale war with the Han State cannot be fought for the time being, but even if it is a small-scale confrontation, we must not lose face, and we must not let the opponent underestimate our Great Qin."
"Well said!" Ying Ying nodded with satisfaction, "This is one of them, and the other is that you also know that the Han army's means of conquering Kangping City this time are really too amazing, and now in the Chu State, it is actually rumored that this is God's punishment for the Chu State, saying that this is God's desire for the Han Kingdom to be lofty, so this is the divine punishment, which makes the people of the Chu State panic, and Huang Xie is anxious."
"What a ridiculous, what divine punishment? This is just another powerful weapon that the Han Kingdom has made, and you know that the Han Kingdom has always been quite powerful in these strange tricks. It's just another weapon."
"Whether it's divine punishment or a powerful weapon, if the Han army uses it against us, how can we deal with it?" Ying Ying asked.
Tan Feng was silent and said for a while: "Now we can't deal with it."
"That's right, so after you go to Korea, there is another thing, which is to figure out the ins and outs of this weapon, how it was made, if the Han Kingdom has such a large-scale weapon of destruction, and we don't have it, then how will the war be fought in the future, and how can we compete with them?" Ying Ying said: "Originally, I asked Hei Bingtai Zhong Li to do this, but Hei Bingtai was so suppressed in the Han Kingdom that he couldn't raise his head at all, Zhong Li told me that when you left Yan Kingdom, you also hid a group of Yan Lingwei's henchmen, can you still control these people now?"
"It's all under control." Tan Feng said: "The king can rest assured, the minister will definitely do this well."
"Okay, after this thing is done, I will promote you to be the waiting master. In our Qin Kingdom, it's not like the lofty Han Kingdom, where Hou Ye is just a false title, but in our place, it's real." Ying Ying said with a smile.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, the minister will definitely complete this task."
Coming out of the palace, Tan Kang had already led the horse outside the palace, Tan Feng's house in Xianyang was not big, and only his mother and wife Liao Liao and a few guards lived.
He didn't go back to Xianyang for more than half a year, walking on the streets of Xianyang, Tan Feng found that compared to the scene when he left, Xianyang is much more prosperous now, with shops on both sides of the street one after another, and even the streets on both sides are full of stalls, and all kinds of items are piled up in the shops.
"The war is over, and sure enough, everything is getting better!" Tan Feng looked at a cloth shop on the side of the street, turned over and dismounted, and said to Tan Kang: "Go, I haven't been back for a long time, and I, as a son, must do my filial piety, go buy some good fabrics and take them home to add a few new clothes to the old lady." And the guards who stayed at home should also add new clothes."
"The general is sympathetic!" Tan Kang said with a grin.
The two walked into the shop, but the owner of the shop was a clever person, although Tan Feng was wearing civilian clothes and had nothing special on him, but Tan Kang, who was following Tan Feng, was carrying a saber on his waist, in Xianyang, he could not walk around with a knife casually, especially after experiencing the rebellion of the eldest prince.
"This guest officer, please inside, please inside." The boss greeted him courteously.
"Boss, you have a lot of goods here, these many patterns and colors were not very common before?" Tan Feng smiled and looked at the rolls of cloth on the counter.
"That's, these goods, but they are all from the Han Kingdom, the guest official is lucky, this is a batch of new goods that just came in yesterday, I sorted it out today and put it on the counter!" The boss said.
"Goods from the Han Kingdom?" Tan Feng frowned slightly.
"Yes, from the Han country, don't say it, don't say it, the cloth of the Han country is softer, stronger, and more beautiful than our own country, and this color is varied, and the color is pure, compared to the cloth of our country, it is too strong, and now in Xianyang City, it is basically not sold in its own country." The boss introduced on the side.
Tan Feng's heart jumped, "This cloth is really good, but the price is definitely not cheap, you don't sell your own cloth, so how can ordinary people afford to consume this good cloth from the Han Kingdom?"
"Look at what you said, officer, you just came back from the field, right?"
"I just came back from the South."
"Oh, no wonder the guest officer doesn't know, this cloth is cheaper than the domestic cloth we originally sold!" The boss said with a smile.
"What? Still cheaper? How is this possible?" Tan Kang, who was on the side, screamed in surprise.
Tan Feng glared at Tan Kang, "Boss, the cloth on this counter, each of which needs one horse, send it to Tan Mansion, Hengdianzi Hutong, Xicheng, Tan Kang, pay."
"Thank you for your patronage!" As soon as I heard that I wanted a horse, the boss immediately smiled, and it was still a big business to dare to love.
Walking out of this cloth shop, Tan Feng did not get on the horse and leave, but led the horse to walk forward, walked for a while, and walked straight into a grocery store.
"Guest, what do you want?" The shopkeeper smiled, "But there are Han goods that have just come in, which are good and cheap."
Tan Feng stared at a bag of salt in the corner of the grocery store, "Boss, this salt doesn't look like it's produced by our Daqin?"
"The guest officer has a good eye. Who still uses their own salt in Xianyang now, look at it!" The boss reached out and scooped up a handful of salt leaked between his fingers, "Look at this snowflake salt, how pure, there is no sand in it, but the price is the same as our previous salt price. Now Xianyang can't buy salt from its own country."
Tan Feng took a deep breath, how could even such a thing as salt let Han Guo in, and when he walked out of this grocery store, Tan Kang saw the bag of Han salt in Tan Feng's hand, "General, you, what are you buying salt for?"
"Tan Kang, you go home first and tell the old lady and the lady, and say that I am back, and now I am going to Shoufu's place." Tan Feng said in a deep voice.
Fan Sui received the general who had just returned from the south with a smile on his face, and now there are many dissenting voices in the court about Tan Feng and Zhou Yu, but the two Yan people led the Qin army, but Fan Sui didn't think so, he himself was not a native of Qin, and he recognized the abilities of Tan Feng and Zhou Yu very much.
"General Tan just came out of the palace, I thought you would definitely go home to recuperate for a few days before coming to me to do some official handover? Why did you come here so soon?" Fan Sui said." Sit, please sit!"
Tan Feng put the Han salt he had just bought in his hand in front of Fan Sui.
"What, General Tan is giving me a gift?" Fan Sui laughed and opened the paper bag, looked at the snowflake silver inside, and couldn't help but be stunned, "General Tan, what does this mean?"
"Fan Xiang, after I left the palace today, I walked around the street at random, what I saw and heard, shocking, our shop is full of Han goods, even salt, which is related to the national economy and people's livelihood, also let Han goods monopolize, others don't understand what it means, I don't believe Fan Xiang doesn't understand!"
Fan Sui smiled, stretched out his hand and played with the snow-white salt flowers: "Is this thing good?"
"Of course it's good."
"Do you think the price of this thing should be higher than what we produce?"
"Naturally, but his price is now only the same as our salt, which will drive our salt to the point where there is no place for it." Tan Feng said: "Fan Xiang, this matter is not small."
Fan Sui snorted coldly: "Since the price of this salt will definitely be higher than ours, why is it lower for him?" But not to mention the nature of this itself, just this thousands of miles to transport over, how much freight will it cost? Han people lose money and make money, do you think they can last? This is something that was negotiated in the peace talks, and if the Han people do this, I'm afraid they will wait for us to turn their faces, and once they turn their faces, they will have an excuse, don't they, but we will endure it, I want to see how long the Han people can hold out?"
