Chapter 331: Goguryeo Mission
Li Chen's side is frantically shaking people to Qu County, although Qu County is developing rapidly, but now it is indeed a serious shortage of people, from shipbuilding craftsmen to coolies doing odd jobs, Qu County is in great shortage. If a small Qu County wants to develop into a first-class port city in Daqin, it must not be a day or two of effort. Li Chen wants to let Qu County develop as soon as possible, and this geographically superior county will become a springboard for Daqin to move towards the age of great exploration.
Li Chen stayed in Qu County for more than a month, and when Li Chen was about to return to Xianyang, a person from Qu County came to Li Chen.
More than a month ago, when Li Chen had just arrived in Qu County, a team of Goryeo tried to come to Xianyang. Look at that time, it is about Li Chen's front foot just arrived in Qu County, and the back foot of the Korean people arrived in Xianyang, just missing Li Chen.
The Goryeo people are talking about the Goryeo people of the Korean Peninsula, which was called Jizi Joseon during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. At the time of King Wu's invasion, the Shang Dynasty was destroyed by the Zhou Dynasty. When the Shang Dynasty fell, the uncle of the Emperor of Zhou, Jizi, led some nobles of the Shang Dynasty to flee to the Korean Peninsula. Because Jizi led some craftsmen and soldiers from the Shangchao when he fled, Jizi soon ruled the natives of the Korean Peninsula, and established the Jizi Joseon in the northern part of the Korean Peninsula with the etiquette and system of the Shang Dynasty, and was recognized by Zhou Tianzi at that time, and the Jizi Joseon also began to worship the Zhou Dynasty as the suzerain.
As the saying goes, the general trend of the world will be divided for a long time, and when the Central Plains fell into the melee of the seven countries, the small Korean Peninsula was also mired in disputes. Small Korea was also divided into Wei Han, Ma Han, and Goguryeo. And the current monarch of Goguryeo is the descendant of Jizi, and after years of war on the Korean Peninsula, Mahan's power is getting bigger and bigger, and Wei Han and Goguryeo are already in danger. Goguryeo has been a little swollen for a while since receiving the aid of Great Qin the year before last, and the monarch of Goguryeo may have been a little dizzy, and actually started a war against Wei Han and Ma Han at the same time, wanting to restore the glory of his ancestor Jizi. It's just that obviously the dream is plump and the reality is skinny. Even with the assistance of Daqin's equipment, Goguryeo was still no match for Ma Han and Wei Han, and after two years of war, Goguryeo's cities had almost been lost, and now only nine cities were left near the national capital Wang Jiancheng.
No, the monarch of Goguryeo couldn't hold it anymore, so he could only send an embassy to ask for help from Daqin. In the eyes of the monarch of Goguryeo, his ancestor Jizi came from that land, and he has always served Zhou Tianzi as the father of the suzerain. Now that the Zhou Dynasty has been replaced by Great Qin, his father Zhou has naturally become Father Qin, this son has been beaten, and it is natural to ask his father for help.
The Goguryeo delegation worked hard all the way to Xianyang, and finally handed over the fold and met the first emperor. Talking about his intentions, he originally thought that his father would definitely help his son get angry. But who would have thought that the first emperor didn't pick up this stubble at all, and directly sent a delegation from Goguryeo to find Rong Luhou. In the words of the first emperor, Goguryeo is a small land, how can you come to work hard, go to Rong Lu Hou, Rong Lu Hou said to help, if Rong Lu Hou said not to help you, where did you come from.
Looking at the attitude of the first emperor, the people of Goguryeo were aggrieved like a fat man of about 200 catties. Well, since the first emperor said so, it is useless to stay in the palace, and the palace does not care about food. In desperation, the Goguryeo delegation left the palace and hurriedly ran to Lijiazhuang.
When the Goguryeo delegation came to Lijiazhuang, it felt like returning home, and now Lijiazhuang is not a small village, it is simply a small bazaar, and it can be said that there is everything to eat, drink and have fun. As soon as the Goguryeo mission arrived at Lijiazhuang, they heard that Li Chen had gone to inspect Qu County. There's no way, find an inn to stay and wait. The Goguryeo delegation waited in Lijiazhuang for more than ten days, and these ten days really made the Goguryeo people happy. In the past ten days, it has really been good to eat, drink, and live. If you want to say why the Goguryeo people don't wait, the main reason is that the person in charge of the mission found that the silver was really consumed a little fast, and continued to live in a high-consumption environment like Lijiazhuang, but he was afraid that the entanglement of returning to Goguryeo would become a problem. No, the Goguryeo mission left Xianyang and rushed all the way to Qu County.
The Goguryeo mission hurried all the way, and along the way, it was called a wind meal and camping, eating some dry food to deal with when they were hungry, and setting up a small tent on the side of the road when they were tired. This is why this is so, firstly, they are in a hurry to see Li Chen, and secondly, there is not much silver in their hands, and they were choked by the pit when they were in Lijiazhuang.
Ji Yi stood at the gate of Qu County, his heart was full of excitement, he was finally going to see Rong Lu Hou, now Rong Lu Hou is the key person who can decide the survival of their Goguryeo, this time he must give full play to the style of his own Goryeo clan licking, and he must lick Rong Lu Hou comfortably, so that Rong Lu Hou can send troops to save his father.
"Sister, what are you doing in a daze, how can you enter the city." At this time, a crisp voice came from Ji Yi's ears.
"It's too ambiguous, when I see Hou Yebi, I must abide by the rules, and I can't be naughty." Ji Yu said to his sister. Her sister is too naughty, and Ji Ji is afraid that she will see something wrong with Hou Ye.
The head of the Goguryeo mission is the sisters Ji Ji and Tai Yu, the war of Goguryeo has entered the most tragic time, the men of the Goguryeo royal family have all been put into the battlefield, and now they can only send their two precious daughters to Daqin for help.
"Sister, don't worry, isn't it just a stinky man, what kind of man can refuse the request of a gentle woman like my sister." said mischievously.
"You, pure nonsense." Ji Yan pointed at her sister's forehead and said.
When the Goguryeo delegation arrived in Qu County, it was already close to the afternoon, and after preliminary investigation, they had to pass through Qu County to reach the seaside, and the Yamen of the Maritime Safety Department was also on the seaside, and if they wanted to see Li Chen, they had to go to the Yamen of the Maritime Safety Administration.
"Sister, look, this Qu County seems to be bigger than our Wang Jiancheng?" Tai Mo stuck his head out of the carriage and said to his sister.
"Yes, where is the prosperity of Daqin that our Goguryeo can compare. Qu County is not rich in Daqin, but such a small county is already comparable to our capital of Goguryeo. Ji Ji said.
"Hey, when will our people of Goguryeo be able to live such a life." Ji Yan saw the people of Daqin walking on the street, and said with a sigh.
Compared with the people of Daqin, the lives of the people of Goryeo are much poorer, and many Goguryeo families are still struggling with food and clothing.
