I often feel that I have recently been fortunate to be brought to the great god of Jiro! [Note 1]

It's a blast of luck, and everything goes well.

Since he was the first to transport the squatting owls and bowheads that the Han people urgently needed into this pass, he got a ticket to enter the rich business circle of the nobles of Chang'an.

Got to know countless big guys.

He was even invited to the mansion of some Han people!

This was unthinkable in the past!

A businessman like him, no matter how much money he has and how capable he is, in the eyes of the Han people, he is just 'a man of Southern Barbarian rappers, who imitates the East and learns to walk in Handan'.

didn't laugh at him for 'being crowned by a monkey', he was already very face-saving.

Want to attend the minister's house, or even be qualified to say a few words to the ministers?

That's a dream!

The arrogant Han people may not even be in the eyes of the King of Dian.

But now...... Everything has changed.

Because he was the first Southwest Yi merchant to respond to the call of the Son of Heaven, it is said that even the Son of Heaven knew his name, so in the circle of nobles in Chang'an, he suddenly became prosperous, under the five-baht money god and gold and jade to open the way.

His status and reputation in Chang'an suddenly soared.

Even the scholars and doctors, who have always been above the top, are not indifferent when they see him, but will bow their hands and call him 'Chang Gong'.

The respect that these businessmen from all over the Southwest want to receive!

Something that a daughter can't buy!

What's more, because of this, his reputation in the southwestern Yi countries has also grown.

Even the King of Dian and the King of Yelang have now sent people to contact them, asking him to speak and lobby for them in Chang'an.

His business flourished all of a sudden.

Even the kings of Yu and Zhu also sent people to make friends with him, hoping to expand the trade volume in the Han dynasty through him—they all hoped that more 'special products' could be sold into the Huahua world of the Central Plains.

With so many benefits, even if he is just a second-hand dealer, he can make a lot of money.

Not to mention the political prestige that has been saved during this period!

Now, another big pie has smashed on top of his head!

One of the most prominent and powerful figures in the Han Dynasty - the most favored close minister of the Han Emperor, the youngest literary leader among the Han people, after the Han Dynasty stayed, the official Zhang Zizhong actually wanted to see him???

This is really a common thing, both excited and frightened.

He had figured out the origin and background of this lieutenant.

I also know about his glorious achievements in the past!

It was a terrifying existence that even the high-ranking officials of the Han Dynasty such as the prime minister and the imperial servant, even the emperor's concubines like Jieyu, and the emperor of the Han Dynasty like the princess were all planted under his hands!

The aristocratic sons and buddies of Chang'an he interacted with didn't even dare to call him by his name in private, so he could only replace it with 'that person' or 'Zhang Chiyou'.

Almost all the big people he knew had given death orders to the sons and buddies in their mansions: if anyone doesn't open their eyes and angers this person, then solve all the problems by themselves, don't expect the family to help, the family will only make a cut as soon as possible!

In the Chang'an market, countless people are circulating a proverb: Giving birth to a child should be as heavy as Zhang Zizhong!

It's such a terrifying existence!

It's such a strong big man!

Every move of such a big man, if magnified to the southwestern countries, can be the impact of the earth shaking and the earth cracking!

Not to mention, as long as the kings of the nations have the opportunity, they will desperately slap him!

What peerless beauties and rare treasures, as long as there is a chance, they will move to his house without their lives.

Therefore, Chang Wen is now standing at the gate of the county government tremblingly, and his head is about to be lowered to his chest.

The body couldn't help but tremble a little.

In my head, there are all kinds of thoughts and all kinds of things.

There are various rehearsals for the upcoming meeting.

No way!

This person, even in the Han Dynasty, belongs to the top big shots, super powerful!

In front of him, he was nothing more than an ant, an insignificant businessman.

After waiting for almost half an hour, the door of the county government was finally opened.

"Chang Gong, please come with me......" Yuan An walked out and said to Chang Wen, who had been standing on the side of the county government gate.

"No!" Chang Wen hurriedly surrendered his hand, but he still didn't dare to raise his head, but immediately followed Yuan An's footsteps, and at the same time, he grabbed a box tightly in his hand.

The box is carved out of wood, and inside it contains a rare medicine collected from the high mountains by the people of the Zuo people, a red flower petal that has been used by the royal family for generations to treat various external injuries.

In the Central Plains, the role of this magical red petal is still little known.

Chang Wen also worked hard to get such a little bit from the people of Zuoguo.

Twisting this box of gifts, Chang Wen followed Yuan An's footsteps and stepped into this county government that seemed to be no different from the tiger's den in Longtan in the legends of Chang'an City.

Unexpectedly, this county government looks quite frugal.

It was almost the same as the Hanjia County Offices that Changwen had seen in Shu County and Hanzhong County in the past, and it was not at all like the powerful and luxurious official offices he had seen in Chang'an City.

That is, everywhere in the county government, you can see the Han family period menlang everywhere, reminding that this is the official residence of a big man, and the most prominent magnates of the Han family work here.

Let him humbly bow his head, tremble, and walk on thin ice.

"Please ......" Yuan An took Chang Wen through the corridor of the county government and entered the main hall, and then turned to him and said, "Chang Gong, His Excellency Jianwenjun is inside......

Chang Wen Wenwen, he nodded hurriedly, he knew that the official title of this big man who was about to meet in the Han Dynasty was 'Jianwen', just a feudal lord of two hundred households, and the title was just the head of the left.

The title seems to be lowly, but it is already an exaggeration to be able to lead two hundred households with the lord of the left chief!

You must know that some of the princes of the Han Dynasty were only four or five hundred households.

Most of the Kannai Hou only have about 100 households.

With the lord of the left chief, the number of households that actually lead the food is equivalent to the low-level marquis and the top-level marquis of Guannei, which is already very revealing in itself.

So, he was more humble and respectful, and under the leadership of Yuan An, he followed the trend and walked into the county hall, just raising his eyes to see a young Han man wearing a signature sable crown on his head, sitting on top of the high hall.

He looked white and pure, as if he was a weak scholar.

It's just that......

All who know his legend know his horror!

This is a super wrestler who is said to be able to break gold and stone with his hands and tear apart tigers and leopards!

An invincible general who is said to be able to kill eight heavily armed Assassins with his bare hands.

Chang Wen didn't dare to despise it at all, so he hurriedly stepped forward, bowed respectfully, and said respectfully: "The barbarian people from afar, the vulgar ministers of the small foreign countries often hear the respectful and ask the nobles of the kingdom to ...... well."

He hurriedly raised the box in his hand and presented it with both hands: "It's just a small courtesy, not a respect, and I hope the nobles will smile and accept it......"

………………………………

Zhang Yue sat on the high hall of the county government and quietly looked at the businessman who was bowing to him.

It is said to be a merchant of the side branch of the Dian royal family.

Zhang Yue's fingers tapped lightly on the desk, and his eyes looked at each other.

After a while, he suddenly laughed and said, "Why should you be so humble? ”

"The Dian Kingdom is also a descendant of Zhuxia and Miao......" Zhang Yue got up, walked down the steps, helped this person up, and said cordially: "This official reads, and knows that in the past, the general Zhuang Gong of King Chuwei was stubborn, and led an army to expedition to Dianchi Lake, pacified the distance, and surrendered to the Dian people......"

"The fault is not the battle of Shiyan, the defeat of the Chu State, I am afraid that at this moment Dian is already a Chinese county!"

"And Duke Zhuang, after King Zhuang of Chu, the son of Zhuxia, Duke Chang has the blood of the Dian royal family, and he should also be a descendant of the Miao of Chu......"

Zhang Yue gently patted the other party's shoulder, and said earnestly: "Your Excellency is so light-hearted, so that Zhuang Gong knows, I am afraid it will be difficult to look at the spring!" ”

It is an undoubted fact that the royal family of Dian has the blood of Zhuxia!

Zhuang jumped into Yunnan, this is a historical fact recorded in the history of letters.

It's just that hundreds of years have passed, and the arrogant Han family doctors and nobles have long since denied this distant relative.

Because, if Xia enters Yidi, he will Yidi.

In the eyes of the Central Plains scholars, the Dian people are now a group of uncivilized barbarians!

Not many people cared at all.

If it weren't for the fact that the Dian family has always been cute and can always find a way to attract the attention of the Son of Heaven in Chang'an, I'm afraid that now, the Han family wouldn't even bother to send envoys in the direction of the Dian Kingdom.

Because, in the eyes of many scholars, Southwest Yi is a barren land, and development is laborious! And they can't even give up territories like Lelang, Zhenfan, Zhuya, Zhan'er, Jiaozhi, and Rinan.

I think these scum even wanted to give up Shuo Fang back then!

In Zhang Yue's opinion, this is simply unreasonable!

To be reasonable, because the current Kunming and the countries in the plain area near Kunming basically have the blood of the conquerors of the Chu State.

Because of this, when they got in touch with the Han family and saw the strength and civilization of the Han family, they remembered their ancestors, so they wanted to rely on this blood connection of the same origin to merge themselves into the Han family.

So he has been working hard to get closer to Han, hoping to be recognized by Chang'an.

It's a pity that those tsundere and naïve scholars almost ruined all this!

And Zhang Yue knew that if he missed this critical historical period and historical opportunity, he would stretch out his hands to accept them while the Dian Kingdom and its nearby countries and tribes had Zhuxia plots.

In the future, I am afraid that future generations will not know how much effort and effort they will have to pay!

Zhuge Liang captured seven times and won seven longitudinal Meng, so that the ethnic minorities in the southwest were happy and convinced.

But now, there is no need to capture seven verticals, only need to recognize that they are Han Chinese, give canonization, recognize their status, and allow their children to enter Chang'an to study, and they can obtain a stable southwest!

Such a deal, a fool knows how to choose!

But some scholars are more stupid than fools!

No!

It should be said that they are smarter than anyone else!

The abacus of these scum is very slippery.

They only care about their own interests, and they only care about whether they will pay more taxes because of this.

Therefore, he arrogantly rejected the request of the Dian people, and rolled around in the court to obstruct the country's development and operation of the southwest region!

Zhang Yue would not make this mistake.

Therefore, he recognized the identity of Chang Wen and the Zhuxia surnames of the Dian royal family Zhuang and Chang to which he belonged at the beginning.
