Outside at night, it's terrible cold!

Even if it was muddy, he had long been accustomed to the cold winter of Khotan, and he felt a little cold in his body, so he couldn't help but tighten his robe.

Stepping on the dead leaves on the ground, he walked slowly to a bedroom.

The bedroom door is open.

A warm voice came from inside: "Chen Xiancheng, please go and inform all Cao, prepare to let the wind out, and hold a public examination next month, admit at least 400 people, and serve as officials......"

"No!"

Nimi listened and sighed again.

In the past, he may not have understood what it meant to be an official of the Han Dynasty.

But now he already knows.

That represents an elite who is literate, well-read, and has good abilities!

Such an elite, if it appears in Wusun, it is enough to be sought after by the major princes and even the royal family, and even marry their daughters.

However, the Han Dynasty was able to admit and produce in batches.

It's like they mass-produce weapons, produce crossbow machines.

This huge chasm is almost impossible to cross!

Taking a deep breath, he walked to the door and showed a smile: "Zhang Shizhong, you haven't slept yet......"

The smile is bright, and there is a hint of flattery in the intimacy of the expression.

It's like......

When the princes of the kingdom of Wusun meet him.

Unconsciously, even Nimi didn't expect that he had automatically put his position in the position of a subordinate and vassal of the Han Dynasty.

……………………………………

Zhang Yue looked up and saw the mud, which was quite surprised.

Waving his hand to Chen Wannian, he said, "The county will go and get busy first, and I will discuss with the county in a while......"

"Nuo ......" Chen Wannian breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at the Wusun envoy gratefully, bowed down, and did not forget to close the door when he walked to the door. Then he let out a long breath.

Under the command of this Zhang Shizhong, everything is good.

Whether it's government affairs or other things, they can be arranged in an orderly manner.

Just follow the instructions and you're good to go.

The only problem is...... The mid-chamberlain was a workaholic.

There is no concept of rest.

is often busy until the third watch, and he is tired and doesn't even have a chance to breathe!

Fortunately, this person does not return to Xinfeng often, and is in Chang'an many times, only occasionally coming back, presiding over the overall situation, inspecting work, and inspecting government affairs.

Moreover, Xinfeng's system performs its own duties and has its own way.

As a county magistrate, he only needs to follow the instructions of this boss, urge officials at all levels to do things, and inspect and supervise the results.

Otherwise, Chen Wannian suspected that he might not be able to wait for his promotion to become rich, and he would die of exhaustion on the day he glorified his ancestors.

………………

In the room, Zhang Yue had already packed up a guest seat, invited Nimi to it, sat down, and then asked with a smile: "Your envoy came here late at night, but is there something?" ”

Nimi looked at Zhang Yue, thought for a while, and said, "The foreign envoy has been coming to Han for more than a month......

"I have witnessed the prosperity and strength of your country, and my heart is full of admiration and admiration......

"A time ago, a foreign envoy made a pilgrimage to His Majesty the Son of Heaven of your country, presented a letter of state, asked your country to marry a princess, and asked your country to give officials and craftsmen to guide the country...... I also ask the Son of Heaven of your country to allow the kingdom of your country to exchange furs for ironware, rhubarb, and silk ......."

"However, your country seems to have forgotten about this ......"

"The envoy was uneasy, wondering if something had gone wrong. Please also ask for your advice......"

Zhang Yue listened, smiled hehe, and said in his heart: "I finally can't bear it anymore......"

Regarding Wusun's arrangement, Zhang Yue's attitude is the same.

That is, to develop it into a quasi-vassal state that is culturally and institutionally pro-Han and heavily dependent on economically.

Finally annexed it.

This is a policy of combining East and West.

Ancient China, relying on the Confucian civilization circle, ruled the world through cultural influence and ideology.

In modern times, the West relied on co-opting the upper echelons of the colonies and carrying out a single plan for the economies of the colonies.

There are pros and cons to both.

And Zhang Yue plans to synthesize it.

Culture and economy go hand in hand, and an experiment is carried out.

Anyway, even if it fails, there is no loss for the Han family.

Therefore, after a slight silence, Zhang Yue smiled and said, "Don't think about it too much, messenger......"

"The Son of Heaven of our country is very important to your country......"

Of course, it is a pro-Han Wusun that is valued, not a pro-Xiongnu one.

"But what about ......" Zhang Yue changed his words and said with a smile: "Because, there are some differences between Han and Wusun in terms of customs and traditions, so for the sake of the future of your country, the Son of Heaven of our country has other arrangements......"

"At the present time, some of your country's requests are slightly unreasonable......"

"Please also ask your Excellency to make it clear......" Nimi quickly asked.

"Our country respects filial piety and pays attention to human ......ethics," Zhang Yue said with a smile: "Your envoy should know ......"

"And my lord, the Holy Son of Heaven, is the lord of the world, and has the responsibility to protect the people......"

"Therefore, your country's request for the grant of officials and craftsmen is contrary to the public order and good customs of our country......"

Muddy listened, falling silent.

The Han Dynasty refused to give craftsmen and officials?

It made him feel cold in his hands and feet, and that was the only chance that Wusun could be strong.

Zhang Yue looked at the look of this Wusun Xiao Kunmo in front of him, and said with a smile: "Your envoy doesn't need to be annoyed......

"My lord, the Holy Son of Heaven, is grateful for the long-term kindness of your Kunmo to the Han Dynasty, so I am very kind and willing to accept students from your country to study in Han......"

"Even with special permission, your country can send five people every year to enroll in Chang'an Taixue ......"

"That's a great kindness!" Zhang Yue looked at the mud and said affectionately: "Even a Han vassal like Dian and Yelang can only get such a quota......"

Hearing this, Ni Mi suddenly raised his head and looked at Zhang Yue in disbelief: "What your official said is true?" ”

Han Taixue!

That's a place I've been coveting for a long time!

He knew that it was the highest institution of learning in the Han Dynasty, and it gathered the best young people of the Han Dynasty.

You can get access to a lot of knowledge that even the people of the Han Dynasty can't reach!

Moreover, these people sent to the Han Dynasty to study are all Wusun people.

There is certainly no problem in loyalty!

"Of course it's true...... Zhang Yue chuckled, "However, there is one thing for your envoy to know......"

"The tuition fee of Taixue is relatively expensive......"

"I don't know, how much do you need?" Nimi asked.

"It's about 1,000 gold for one person......" Zhang Yue's face was not red, and his heart was not beating, and he gave a sky-high price.

For international students, the tuition fee must be several times that of domestic students!

This is the advanced experience of later generations!

Major countries are really making a lot of money in the trade of study abroad services!

For example, in the annual foreign service trade, the surplus of studying abroad is as high as tens of billions of dollars!

It is precisely by virtue of such a huge surplus that Midi's university can afford to run so many high-level research institutes.

It is also possible to send out so many scholarships to attract global elites.

Now, Zhang Yue is just a little bit of a reference.

Nimi listened, but was startled: "A thousand gold?!" ”

Although Wusun has a share of the profits of the silk trade, in fact, the gold savings are only tens of thousands of gold.

This person has a thousand gold a year, and five people are not five thousand gold?

Where can you afford it?

Seeing this, Zhang Yue laughed and said, "Of course, considering the economic level of your country, my lord Holy Son of Heaven is willing to accept your country's payment in materials ......"

"Fur, livestock, and horses can be used to offset ......"

"Its value can be denominated in ......"

Nimi listened, but lowered his head and fell into silence.

Fur livestock and horses, that's worth more than gold!

It is impossible for the Wusun people to accept that thousands of livestock are used every year to pay tuition for a few nobles.

In particular, when these nobles were limited to the Wusun royal family, those Xi Hou would definitely not agree.

The minions below will make a fuss!

When Zhang Yue saw it, he naturally knew that this was the case.

Find nomads and let them settle their accounts with livestock, just like Huang Shiren wants to settle with Xi'er.

That's their life!

Zhang Yue said softly: "If your country is not willing to pay tuition fees in these ways, this official has another way......"

"This official knows several big names in my country......"

"They are all gentlemen who are eager for justice and righteousness, and generous......"

"Yuan Gongguangguo, nicknamed 'Guanzhong Timely Rain', is the most willing to help his friends......"

"And don't hide it from your envoy, the ratio of men and women in the Kanto counties of our country has been somewhat imbalanced recently, and many young men, for various reasons, are twenty-three years old, but they have not married......

Nimi listened, not quite understanding what Zhang Yue meant.

I listened to Zhang Yue and said: "Yuan Gong Guangguo is very worried about this, and he once made a vow that he would use his entire net worth as the cost of the world's husband to protect the media......"

"And this official heard that your country is adjacent to Kangju, Qiuzi, Gumo, Wensu and other countries......"

"These kingdoms are famous for producing good women, but it is a pity that these women are oppressed by the nobles of various countries and often live unhappily......"

"Therefore, the official thinks that maybe the official can go and discuss with Yuan Gongguangguo......"

"If your country can be in the middle of the media, introduce some outstanding and young women to our husbands......"

"A successful example can get hardware ......"

"Yuan Gong Guangguo, there are shops in Loulan and Yangguan, as long as your country sends these poor women to Loulan and Yangguan, you can do it......"

"In this way, these poor women can get out of the tiger's mouth, and our husbands will not be lonely, and the students of your country can also enter school safely, which can be described as killing three birds with one stone, and the merit is immeasurable!"

Muddy was dumbfounded.

It was the first time he had met a person who was so fresh and unrefined and dressed up so brightly.

But......

Zhang Yue's words also made it difficult for him to be patient.

On the grassland, human life is not valuable.

Every time Wusu went out to fight the grass valley, he was embarrassed to go out to meet people without hacking them to death and dragging back thousands of slaves.

However, too few of the captured slaves survived the first year.

Whether it is the Xiongnu or Wusun, the value of slaves is calculated according to sheep.

A better one can be worth three sheep, and a worse one sheep is not as good.

And the price that the Han Dynasty people now set far exceeds the price of slaves in Wusun.

Even overflowed a lot!

His eyes rolled slightly, and he asked, "It's all hardware?" ”

"Of course, there are levels of ......"

"Different women, the cost of media protection is also different...... Zhang Yue laughed softly, like a demon.
