Chapter 455: Flickering and lame

As soon as Li Chen's words came out, the Guishan envoy felt like he was in a dream. Why, this task is so simple, why did I overdo it?

You know, in fact, the purpose of Guishan's envoy this time is very simple. The main thing is to make sure that Daqin has no intention of attacking Guishan, and of course it is good to be able to trade with Daqin. But who knows, now Daqin is going to send people to help build the city, and he is also sending people to help build roads, which is also enthusiastic.

"Noble, I didn't expect that the character of the Hou Ye was so noble." Thinking of this, the Guishan envoy saluted Li Chen heavily: "Venerable Rong Luhou, may the Immortal Heaven bless you." We, Guishan, are willing to be friends with Daqin forever and be neighbors and friends forever. ”

"Okay, okay, it's the same with my Daqin, we are all peace-loving people." Li Chen said with a smile.

With polite words in his mouth, Li Chen was thinking in his heart: "You don't need to be a neighbor forever, when I come to my senses, then you Guishuang will be a county of Daqin." ”

"Then the matter will be settled for the time being, the messenger can go around the city first, and I will have someone make a list of transaction prices for the messenger in two days. At that time, the messenger can bring the price watch back to Kushan. Li Chen said.

"Thank you Lord Hou, as soon as I go back, my merchants from Guishan will definitely come to Moon City to trade, and I hope Lord Hou will take care of me." The Kushan envoy said.

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, in order to establish the common prosperity of the prairie, it doesn't hurt for me to suffer a little loss." Li Chen said with a smile.

After chatting for a while, the Kushan envoy left with a thousand thanks. Now they are all excited, and they feel that Li Chen is really easy to speak, and there is no Hou Ye at all.

"Master Hou, why did we still promise to build roads and cities for them?" As soon as the Guishan envoy left, Wang Li asked inexplicably.

In Wang Li's opinion, it is nothing to trade with them, because it must be Daqin who makes a profit in the end. It can also be said that the road construction is to make trade more convenient, but what are these Guishan building cities for, Guishan has built a tall city wall, so when Daqin attacks Guishan in the future, it will be much more difficult.

Such things that create difficulties for himself, Wang Li believes that Li Chen will not do it. As for Li Chen's lack of plans to invade Guishan, he didn't believe that he had killed the king. If it is said that Li Chen has no intention of attacking Guishan, unless the sun hits the west and comes out.

"What do you say the road is built for?" Li Chen looked at Wang Li and asked.

"For trade? After we built the road with Guishan, the merchants of Guishan came to our side faster, and we could earn them some more money. Wang Li said as a matter of course.

When Li Chen heard this kid's answer, he couldn't help but pause. This kid is still on the first floor, but he is already on the fifth floor.

"Roads are not only built for trade, but also for the day when troops can be sent more quickly. It is true that we both need this road, but if we start a war, this road will be far more important to us than the Kushan people. ”

"Kushan are mostly cavalrymen, and there is not much difference between walking from the road and walking from the grass. But we are different, we have infantry, artillery, and baggage, and this road has greatly improved their marching speed. Especially this cannon, all of them are heavy and abnormal, with this way, do we still need to prevent him from sinking into the dirt? Li Chen explained.

"Let's use their money to build roads, and we will use it to attack them in the future, Master Hou is really calculating, calculating." Wang Li suddenly realized.

"However, if you build a road, you will build a road, why should we build a city for him?" Wang Li asked another question that he didn't understand.

"I saw Moon City, once the two sides traded. The Kushan people will definitely buy materials from Daqin to build the big city. Rather than let them build it themselves, let's earn this money. When it is built, our craftsmen will leave some hands on the city wall, so that the city wall will seem impregnable. But for us Daqin, it is freedom to enter and exit, and it is not simple. Li Chen said with a smile.

"Brother......

"Master Hou, you are really amazing." Wang Li looked at Li Chen with a look of adoration.

With the craftsmanship of the Great Qin craftsmen and some means on the city wall, this group of indigenous Kushan people will not be able to find it for eight hundred years. Li Chen had already made a plan, and now there were some hidden passages left on the city wall, and then at several critical nodes in the city wall, he hit a few blasting points and buried gunpowder in them.

After the war between Daqin and Guishan, if you can enter the city from the dark passage, it is best to kill them by surprise, if not, then you can completely use the blasting node left by cannon bombardment, and the city wall can collapse in an instant.

Thinking of this, Li Chen felt that Guishuang should not move for the time being. It is better to let them develop and develop, and then with the help of Daqin, after all kinds of infrastructure construction are done, it is better to move Guishuang. The truth of fattening and killing is simple, let alone Li Chen. Even the farmers in Daqin also know that the livestock raised at home will be fattened and killed during the Chinese New Year.

The envoy of Guishan walked around Yuecheng for a few days, and the more he walked, the more he felt that Yuecheng was prosperous, and the more he shopped, the more he felt that even the royal capital of Guishan was simply a garbage heap compared to Yuecheng. Most of the roads in the city are smooth bluestone, and even the second is a rough cement road. When it rains, it's muddy, and there won't even be standing water. Thinking about their Guishuang, the yellow mud road in the city, after a rain, it was a deep foot and a shallow foot when it walked.

As the saying goes, people are more popular than people, and currency and goods have to be thrown away. The more the Guishan envoy looked at Yuecheng, the more he liked it, and he also thought of the help Guishan promised by Li Chen to build the city. He felt that he had to convince the Kushan people to build a new royal capital no matter what, and that he had to repair the royal capital even if it was not good. Their royal capital of Guishuang, not to mention compared with Xianyang in Great Qin, how can it be almost inseparable from this Moon City.

Since the establishment of the Kushan Empire, the internal struggle for power and profit has been extremely serious. The Kushan Emperor's control over the country was extremely low, and the Kushan envoys knew that if they wanted to build a new city, they had to come up with something that would be of interest to everyone.

This Kushan envoy is also a shrewd man, and these days he has hired the best painters in Moon City to copy the entire Moon City on drawing paper. In order to better convince the emperors and ministers of the Kushan Empire, in addition to realism, this painting also added an additional artistic repair. In this painting, Moon City is as if it has become a fairy palace.

The artistic elements added to this painting seem to be a hundred and eighty-degree beauty that is not inferior to the beauty camera in the previous life.

As soon as the front foot of the Guishan envoy's painting was drawn, the quotation from Li Chen's side was delivered. There seemed to be something unspeakable, but the Guishuang envoy didn't think much about it, and when he got the quotation, he hurried to Guishuang.
