A heavy rain has wiped out the filth of the world, and the rain from the roof of the house is flowing down the edge of the house, and the sound of ticking is calming.

In order to make life less boring and too lazy to be a scientist to do research, Han Yan simply used a knife and pen to draw a chessboard on the desk, made a Chu River and Han boundary in the middle, and then cut the thick bamboo slips into square pieces, and carved chariots, horses, elephants, soldiers, pawns, and cannons on them.

It took half a day to kill Liu Che, the two hundred and five churches, and then let him have half of the carts and horses, and he could also kill this kid to a minimum.

Abused the future Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty thousands of times, and he himself was happy to be abused, often repented and begged for mercy, and lost the kingly demeanor in the past...... Han Yan is very cool.

There were not many entertainment methods in the Han Dynasty, only activities could be carried out during the day, and there was a curfew at night, except for eating and chatting, they could only lie in the bed and make people.

In addition, Han Yan, who had never been out of the deep palace, didn't know what fun the people had, and during the chat, he heard a slave report outside the door: "Report to His Royal Highness the Prince, Zhang Qian is visiting." ”

"Zhang Qian?" Han Yan was stunned, but he had been yearning for the characters in the textbooks of later generations for a long time.

Liu Che didn't know why, he was more anxious than classmate Han, and he didn't care about regretting the chess, so he directly wiped the chess pieces on the ground with his big sleeve, and ordered the slave to say, "Please." ”

"Whoa." Stand down.

Zhang Qian was dusty, his face was plateau red, his face was resolute, his figure was strong, he was wearing a crown, he was over twenty years old, and he was accompanied by two servants behind him, carrying a six-story high gift box.

"Zhang Qian meets His Royal Highness the Prince."

"Hurry up, you don't have to kneel." Liu Che held the person up, set him up, and didn't let him kneel.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Zhang Qian's eyes were grateful, and he was sincerely afraid that he would be led into the house by Liu Che.

After drinking a cup of hot tea, he asked the servant to carry the gift box in, closed the door and exited, and then said: "The minister recently went to Buyeo country, and their king heard that I was a strong man, and he admired it very much, so he specially asked me to bring a gift to His Royal Highness the Prince, and told me to present it to His Royal Highness in person." ”

"Huh?" Han Yan was stunned, feeling a little strange in his heart, what did he do with a gift for Liu Che for no reason?

After thinking about it for a while, it was probably because the king of Buyeo wanted to invest in the future emperor of the Han Dynasty and leave a good impression......

But this gift is definitely not something to ask for.

In the Han Dynasty, when dealing with diplomatic events and tribute, it is always the emperor, empress, crown prince, and minister...... In this order, respect and humility cannot be messed up, there is a prince, there is no emperor, some people will be unhappy.

Liu Che didn't seem to have accepted such a gift for the first time, and asked familiarly: "Did Fuyu bring a gift to my father?" ”

Zhang Qian said respectfully: "I brought it and presented it to Your Majesty in the form of tribute." ”

Liu Che nodded: "That's fine." ”

I was a little moved in my heart, this king of Buyeo can be a man......

Seeing that Liu Che responded, Zhang Qian opened several layers of gift boxes one by one with a smile on his face, all of which were rare things, such as thousand-year-old ginseng, mink, deer antler, Ganoderma lucidum, etc.

Now Liu Che was even more moved, the friendly countries are very sincere, and it seems that they can be more tolerant of Buyeo in the future.

"I accepted the gift, and if I have the opportunity, I will greet the king of Buyeo on my behalf."

"Zhang Qian will definitely bring the words of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Zhang Qian's face was red, and his heart was excited.

"You're glad you're suffering, too." Liu Che patted him on the shoulder, glanced outside the door and said, "It's not early, stay and eat." ”

Then he shouted outside the door: "Prepare for a meal, ask for beef." ”

"Whoa!" The slave immediately responded.

At this time, Zhang Qian's eyes were even red, and he was treated with the specifications of the princes, and the person who was a confidant died, and he was so moved that he almost cried bitterly, and he came down with tears.

Han Yan smiled secretly beside him...... Damn, the prince is good, a casual sentence or two can make people loyal and convince people's hearts, or the kind that is desperate.

was entertained by the future emperor and became a guest, the future is certain, everyone is drunk if he is not drunk, Zhang Qian can't control his mouth.

Han Yan wilted and began to trick others.

"Brother Zhang Qian, I'm very confused, why did you think of running to a wild place like Fuyu Kingdom?"

"My father taught me to travel and see more when I was a child, and that it would be beneficial to travel the world to see and make friends from all walks of life."

"Oh?" Han Yan was surprised, "Then how did you meet King Buyeo?" ”

This is what Han Yan is most puzzled about.

You must know that in this feudal era, the dignity and the lowly, the hierarchy is strict, not to mention the palace, even if it is just a small official, the poor people can't enter the door of his house, you say to visit, people haven't heard of your name and won't meet at all.

You Zhang Qian is just a commoner, maybe you have a little fame in the Han Dynasty, but you went to Buyeo Country and are not familiar with life, who knows which onion you are?

Zhang Qian's face was flushed, his forehead was sweating, he chewed on the beef in his mouth, half a bowl of rice wine was in his stomach, he burped "hiccup", and his eyes were confused......

"It's not difficult to see the king's little thing, we Han people went to the Buyeo country, one is the different costumes, the other is the language barrier, belongs to the rare and exotic, born to attract attention, I just need to go to the door of the Buyeo Palace and shout twice, I am Zhang Qian, a person from Chang'an in the Han Dynasty, was ordered to visit the king of Buyeo, there are big gifts, there are important things to discuss, please report. In less than an hour the king will receive him. ”

"Huh?" Han Yan was stunned, can you still play like this?

Zhang Qian smiled and explained: "My Han has the power of heaven, the territory is vast, and the sound is vibrating all over the world, how can it be compared to the small Buyeo country?" It's just a small country with a population of 200,000, and even our vassal states can't compare, and the people from Chang'an, the capital of the Han Kingdom, have gifts and important things, how dare he not see them? Scare him to death! ”

Han Yan: "......"

"When you see the king, everything will be easy......" Qian said.

In his early years, he often liked to go to some backward countries, such as Goguryeo, Buyeo, Nanyue, Minyue, Ouyue, Qiang and other small countries, these small countries around the Han Dynasty would not close their borders like the Ming Dynasty and the Sui Dynasty, and they were very kind to the people of the Han Dynasty.

Zhang Qian neither went to travel nor to invest, but to visit the kings, princes, prime ministers, and high-ranking officials of these countries.

In the feudal era, the portal was profound, and it was difficult for ordinary people and nobles to cross the class, but in Zhang Qian's opinion, this is not a thing, it sounds very laborious, but it is not difficult.

In these small countries, a friend from Chang'an, the capital of the Han Dynasty, wanted to see the king and ministers, and he could make an appointment in advance, and if he was lucky, he could be received immediately.

The Han people talk about etiquette, and Zhang Qian saw that the leaders of small countries were never empty-handed, and all they gave were fake antiques at the level of jade and bronze bells of the Warring States period......

The Han Dynasty has counterfeiting technology, but there is no foreign country, and the king of friendly countries probably would never have thought that a Han man would sincerely come all the way to send him some fake antiques.

In addition to sending fake antiques, Zhang Qian will also send some calligraphy and paintings of the Han Dynasty, and when he and the king of friendly countries hold the calligraphy and paintings together, the entourage will record them in the form of sketches...... It's a stumbling drawing, but with the king's seal, it's different.

"Gifts and exchanges" is an international common rule, and the leaders of friendly countries will naturally give back some good things after receiving Zhang Qian's gifts.

In this era, there is no cultural relics, and most of the gifts are local specialties, such as deer antler and ginseng, which are not worth much in friendly countries, and can be brought back to the Han Dynasty, which is really a priceless treasure in the market.

After returning to China with a full load, Zhang Qian never took the gift as his own, but began to contact some high-ranking officials of the Han Dynasty, warmly informed a certain king that he had entrusted me to bring you a gift, and repeatedly told him to present it to you in person.

Compared with the high-level officials of those small countries, the high-ranking officials of the Han Dynasty are much busier...... Even if you are not busy, unless you go to war or are ordered to go on an envoy, it is impossible to go to other people's territory in this life.

It's a bit strange to hear that a foreign king brings a gift to him, but he can't help but be moved, and no matter how busy he is, he must receive it in person as a sign of solemnity.

In this way, in the name of giving gifts for the king of friendly countries, Zhang Qian met several high-ranking officials.

No, even the future emperor of the Han Dynasty was tricked very early, and when he heard that Zhang Qian was coming, he first brought the beef to entertain others......

can eat openly in the official face, and in society, it is natural that more and more rich businessmen and celebrities take the initiative to befriend Zhang Qian, thinking that this person has a background, talks and laughs about kings, and is a prime minister...... There is the style of Su Qin and Zhang Yi.

Zhang Qian was so drunk that he took out his roots.

According to his nonsense, after getting acquainted with so many high-level officials, he is already an international celebrity, and even some of the contradictions of the vassal states need to be dredged up.

There are more resources, more money, more ideas, and a wider space for operational relationships.

In the first two years, under his operation, two wealthy iron merchants from remote places successfully infiltrated the tributary delegation of the Han Dynasty in Nanyue, and were cordially received by Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty in the imperial palace.

There was a wealthy merchant who had no qualifications, and he spit during the visit and was seen by the eunuchs...... Fortunately, it was not the face of the Han people who lost it.

After blowing indiscriminately, Zhang Qian was covered in alcohol and lay under the table, snoring like thunder.

"I'm a big man." Han Yan sighed sincerely, looked at the inconspicuous Zhang Qian, and admired it very much.

In this era, there were no cars and airplanes, long distances, long journeys, and even if you arrived in other countries, you had to face unknown situations and put life and death aside, this spirit of exploration was extraordinary.

Liu Che nodded in agreement, thought for a while and said, "After I ascend the throne, let him represent the Han Dynasty to envoy to the Western Regions to prepare for the future attack on the Xiongnu." ”

"If you want me to say, it's better to use him now." Han Yan's eyes burned.

"How?"

"Didn't you always wonder why I was mentally retarded the other day?"

"Huh?" Liu Chehu asked suspiciously: "Aren't you okay now?" ”

"That night I had a dream, in a dream there was an airplane, people sat on it as if they were walking on the ground, they could fly freely like birds, and I also dreamed of a million kinds of food, which was more colorful, fragrant and flavorful than the food of our Han Dynasty, and if we ate more, there would be no people who would starve to death, and if life was good, there would be no hungry people who would freeze to death."

"How is it possible that there are no people starving to death?"

Liu Che was young after all, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Even if I am rich in the Han Dynasty, after the governance of the first emperor and my father, the granary of Chang'an City is full, the corn is piled up outside the warehouse and it is rotten and cannot be eaten, and the rotten money cannot be counted, even then I dare not guarantee that there are no people starving to death in remote places." ”

Han Yan smiled and did not refute, "Since we are hungry, let's talk about food, what are the main foods of our Han Dynasty?" ”

Liu Che: "Rice, wheat, millet, millet, soybeans, etc. ”

Han Yan: "Too little, too little, there is too little food that the people can grow, a lot of land is not suitable for growing these, the harvest is naturally not good, there is no grain to pay rent, then he will not be hungry?" ”

Liu Che: "This question ......"

Han Yan: "So as long as there is an extra kind of food, the people will have more choices, the people will eat more, the country can feed more people, the harvest will be good, the society will be stable, and the Ming Dynasty in the west can rule for more than 260 years, and the credit of grain is indispensable." ”

"But where to find food?" The young Emperor Wu of Han finally couldn't hold back and asked a little urgently.

Han Yan recalled Zhang Qian's mission to the Western Regions in primary school history class, and said: "In my dream, I saw cucumbers, walnuts, pomegranates, carrots, garlic, etc. in the Western Regions. ”

"There is so much food in the Western Regions?" Liu Che blinked, fascinated.

"In addition to the Western Regions, there are corn, sweet potatoes, tomatoes and the like overseas. Among them, corn is a good thing to feed livestock. ”

"Since this is the case, let Zhang Qian go to the Western Regions, and at the same time send a ship to the sea to find food." Liu Che pondered for a moment and muttered: "But you have to ask your father about this matter, with his support, in the name of the country, Zhang Qian is good." ”

said, glanced at the drunk Zhang Qian, don't look at this girl's big grin, but the arrogance and strength in his bones, ordinary people don't need him.

Now we are only the crown prince, although you are the prince, but you do not have the right to send ministers to other countries, and private actions are 100,000 miles away from the faith and persistence of the state compared with the authorization of the state.
