"Master Hou, there are envoys from the Liang Kingdom who have come to visit!"

Just when Chen Xu accompanied Meng Wan and Ying Shiyan for a walk in the panda park, the housekeeper hurriedly came to report.

"Envoy of Liangguo, could it be that Wen Bupo again?" Chen Xu frowned and muttered.

"It's indeed Mr. Wen!" The steward nodded hurriedly.

"What is this guy doing here again?" Chen Xu pinched his chin and thought for a moment, then instructed a few maids to take care of Meng Wan and Ying Shiyan carefully, and he returned to the Qinghe Courtyard to greet the envoys from this Liang country.

In June, an envoy of the Liang Kingdom named Wen Bupo came from Yueshi, and after being introduced by Xiyue Marquis Kangqi, Chen Xu received this envoy named Wen Bupo.

That meeting made Chen Xu very depressed, because this envoy was sent by King Yinggao of Liang to give him credit, and there were many items on credit, from ordinary linen pottery to high-end porcelain glass, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, tea and silk, as long as it was something from the Central Plains, he didn't refuse, and he couldn't wait for Chen Xu to help him take the entire Great Qin back on credit.

Chen Xu was very unhappy with King Liang's behavior of not begging his father Qin Shi Huang to beg for himself, Nima is a dignified prince, your father is the Emperor of Great Qin, but you want to beg me in a roundabout way, what does it mean, is this a disguised expression of Lao Tzu, a left-hand minister and Shangqing, is it bigger than your father's face? If this matter spreads, even if the emperor doesn't care about it, but it falls on the mouths of others, it will not be so pleasant to discuss it secretly.

The wood show will be destroyed by the forest wind, and the pile is higher than the shore waves.

Although the takeaway brother Qinghehou is now famous all over the world, almost all of them are one-sided five-star praise, but the so-called tree is a big move, Chen Xu moves other people's cheese too much, especially the nobles of the former six countries, almost all regard him as a thorn in the flesh, and want to get rid of it quickly, just because his arm can't twist his thigh, he has to lie dormant, and then he experienced a national crackdown that lasted for a year, plus killing Huangshi Gong and cutting Ji Bu, Chen Xu and the chivalrous people in the world have almost become incompatible. All the heroes of the rivers and lakes were forcibly arrested by Chen Xu by administrative means to build roads and bridges to build Daqin, but the so-called people go to the rivers and lakes, chivalry will never be extinguished, although the rivers and lakes of Daqin seem to be silent, but in fact, there are still many heroes who are ready to move, eager to rip off the underwear of his immortal disciple who is wearing fairy skin, and then blow his chrysanthemums.

The court and the rivers and lakes are eternally difficult to intertwine love and hate.

If Chen Xu wants to live well, he has to hug Qin Dada's thighs tightly, control the Great Qin Imperial Court in his own hands, and not give any opportunity to the heroes of the rivers and lakes, and he has to work hard to ravage these rough men over and over again, until Daqin completely becomes a warm and romantic country ruled by law.

In order to achieve this goal, Chen Xu tried his best not to conflict with anyone, and did not let himself fall too much into the hands of others, even his father-in-law Meng Yi, Chen Xu used to want to strangle him to death many times, because this father-in-law knew too much.

Last time, Liangwang Yinggao arranged for this Wen Bupo to come to Xianyang to buy goods on credit, because there was a recommendation from Xiyuehou, and they met and chatted, Chen Xu found that Wen Bupo was knowledgeable and elegant, almost no different from the Zhongyuan Yuan scholar, so he had a very good impression of it, and at the same time, because of Yinggao's face, he had to contact some familiar businessmen Jia Jia to give Yinggao nearly 500,000 yuan of goods on credit, and most of them were actually Chen Xu's own goods, porcelain, wine, glass, tea, bearing knives, Pen, ink, paper, inkstone, etc., and Chen Xu, who gave these goods to Yinggao on credit, actually didn't plan to get the money back, which was equivalent to a kind of friendship gift, which could be regarded as supporting Yinggao's development.

At that time, when Wen Bupo was sent away, Chen Xu made it clear that Liang Wang would give this batch of money if he had it, and he didn't have to return it in a hurry.

According to Chen Xu's thoughts, Liang Wang Yinggao should know his intentions very well, that is, don't come to me in the future.

But what made Chen Xu depressed was that it had only been more than two months, and Yinggao had sent a messenger again.

In the living room of the Qinghe Courtyard, Wen Bupo was drinking tea.

About fifty years old, black beard and black hair are thin and tall, wearing a neat dark blue five-grade official robe, except for a felt hat on his head, there is almost no difference between his body and the Central Plains, and even the action of drinking tea is very mature and natural, but the slight tremor of his hands still shows that he is extremely uneasy.

Hearing that there was a faint sound of Hou Yehao and kicking footsteps in the courtyard, Wen Bupo hurriedly put down the teacup and stood up, arranged his clothes and hat and respectfully prepared to greet him.

"Haha, Mr. Wen is unharmed, I miss it for a few months!" Chen Xu strode into the living room with a smile on his face.

"Thank you Hou Ye for your concern, don't take the liberty to visit, and ask Hou Ye to forgive me!" Wen Bupo hurriedly bowed deeply and bowed to the ground to pay respects.

"No need to be polite, please sit down, now that the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, Xianyang is lively, Mr. Wen came at the right time......"

Chen Xu smiled and helped Wen Bupo up, the two sat down, and after the maid re-served the fragrant tea, Chen Xu slowly took a sip and put down the teacup before he spoke: "I don't know why Mr. Wen came to visit Benhou this time?" ”

Wen Bupo hurriedly stood up again and bowed, and said with a slightly embarrassed face: "Last time, thanks to the righteousness of Lord Hou, I gave hundreds of thousands of goods to Liangguo on credit, and these goods have not all been sold, so the payment will be delayed for a while......"

"It's okay to pay for the goods, Ben Hou once said that when the money is available, King Liang will give it when he has it!" Chen Xu smiled and waved his hand.

"Hou Ye Yaliang, having said that, but the so-called thief also has a way, and the business road is to uphold the word Xinyi, how can you not say it clearly, this time, King Liang specially told him not to meet Hou Ye to express his gratitude, hoping to forgive some time, at most until the beginning of spring next year, the payment must be repaid!"

"Then bother Mr. Wen to go back and tell King Liang, thank you Benhou, Mr. Wen came from afar, the carriage is tired, sit down and drink tea first!"

Under Chen Xu's greeting, Wen Bupo sat down again, and after half a cup of hot tea, Chen Xu spoke again: "After the Mid-Autumn Festival, there will be a big autumn market, Mr. Wen is here for the autumn market?" ”

"Hou Ye Mingjian, that's exactly the case!" Wen Bupo nodded hurriedly.

"Hehe, this autumn market has attracted merchants from hundreds of counties and counties in Daqin, so it also brings together special products from different places in the southeast and northwest of Daqin, and even merchants from various states such as the Xiongnu Donghu Yueshi and Qiangrong Western Regions in the past have come, it must be an unprecedented commercial event, Mr. Wen must take a good look at this market, and when the time comes, the same market can be opened regularly in Liangguo, so as to attract merchants from Qianghu in the Western Regions, and after a long time, it will inevitably make Liangguo prosperous and prosperous!" Chen Xu put down the teacup and said with a smile.

"Thank you Lord Hou for your teachings, this time it is not only for the autumn market, but also some doubts are unsolved, so I suddenly took the liberty to visit Lord Hou, hoping to get some tips from Lord Hou, if you don't break it in the future, you will not dare to forget the grace of Lord Hou......" Wen Bupo stood up and walked in front of Chen Xu and bowed deeply again.

"Mr. Wen, please get up, why should you and I be so polite, at the beginning, you and Xiyue Hou supported the Yue Clan King and Daqin to reconcile, so that there was one less life-and-death battle between Daqin and the Yue Clan, so it also saved countless Yue clan clans and Daqin soldiers from the disaster of swords, this is a righteous move of Bo Yuntian, it is really a great righteousness, Ben Hou admires Mr. Wen very much, Mr. Wen has any questions to speak out, Ben Hou can help and never shirk!"

"Lord Hou's righteousness is really unbreakable!" Wen Bupo sat back on his chair with red circles in his eyes after giving his hand again, "Since the last time the Hou Ye helped to give the goods on credit, he was rewarded by the King of Liang after returning to the Liang Kingdom, and he was given the title of official, and now he is already the chief official of the Commerce Department under the Ministry of Household of the Liang State, mainly responsible for the business and trade exchanges between the Liang State and Daqin and the surrounding tribes, lack of money and goods, some officials can not even issue official ranks on time, King Liang is quite sad for this, we as courtiers but can not share worries for the king, naturally shameless, this time coincides with the autumn market, not broken by the King of Liang appointed to bring a caravan to Beijing again, in addition to selling some Liangguo specialties, but also want to learn business and make friends with some Central Plains merchants through this market where merchants gather, but also came to visit Hou Ye, hoping to get Hou Ye's guidance on business development, so that my Liang Kingdom can keep up with the pace of development of DaqinOnly the prosperous Liang Kingdom can defend the land of the west for the town of Great Qin, and provide a solid backing for His Majesty the First Emperor to continue to expand his territory to the west in the future......"

Wen Bupo is knowledgeable, flexible, and eloquent, otherwise he would not be able to mix with the most important staff of the Yue Clan King at the beginning, and after saying this, Chen Xu also secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Nima didn't come to pay on credit.

You must know that compared to the Liang State, Gongzi will Lu and Gongzi Kun led the Liao State and Dai Guo are more poor to eat soil, in addition to selling cattle and horse skin goods and wool, it is basically the rhythm of looking at the sky to eat, farming is impossible to farm, the Huns and Donghu people are impossible to farm all their lives, those who like farming are the Central Plains people who defected and migrated to the past, and the emperor did not pay much attention to the two countries of the Liao Dynasty, these two places are just the right time, and at the same time, they also want to settle their own group of sons, They are all adults and families, and staying in Xianyang is embarrassing and not conducive to the stability of the royal family.

And the Liang country is different, the Hexi Corridor is a necessary way to control the Western Regions and to the West, and the water and grass are abundant and the land is fertile, in later generations are the main grain producing areas in the northwest, and the quality of wheat and rice produced is very good, so the emperor has thought about it for half a year, and the second son Yinggao, who is the most filial on weekdays, is sealed here, the purpose is self-evident, that is, he feels that Yinggao can reassure him, as for the son who is in charge of the two countries of the Liao Dynasty, it is basically a sheep herding, the northwest and northeast are so beautiful, what do you want, And they are all outside the Great Wall, and now that Hun Hu has been ambushed, he doesn't plan to look at it again in his life.

Of course, Chen Xu reserved his own views on the emperor's thoughts, the Songliao Plain in the northwest and the Great Xing'an Mountains are actually a treasure land in China, although it is poor and cold, but the black soil is extremely fertile, if it is all developed, the grain output of a northeast can be enough to maintain the rations of hundreds of millions of people, but at the moment Daqin's arm is not so far.

According to Chen Xu's idea, Mongolia can do without, but the Great Khing'an Mountains and the Heilongjiang River Valley must be firmly controlled by Daqin, otherwise over time, many heretics may slowly grow out and threaten the security of the Central Plains.
