The state of Shen was annexed by the Qin, and the kingdom of Ya was also submissive to the Qin.

All the places in this Guanzhong region from the west of Haojing are already Qin people.

"Ah--, comfortable, I haven't lived in vain when I came to this Western Weekend." When the exciting news came, Yingkang was very excited.

Although Yaguo was forced to have no choice but to agree to use the state to exchange the crown prince Jiang Yuan with the Qin people, Yingkang still did his best to be benevolent and righteous, and before Yaguo moved eastward, he specially arranged for Chen Xing, the general of Haojing, to go to Luoyi to explain the matter to the Son of Heaven Yijiu.

Of course, before clarifying this matter, Ying Kang also did some technical processing, saying that Yaguo's forced behavior was an active act, and that the threat of the Qin people was that he was willing to hand over his land and population to the Qin people under the joint attack of the dog Rong and the northern Rongdi.

Later, he expressed his respect for the royal family, and after saying all this, he also sent someone to send a lot of good things to Zheng Wugong, an important minister of the royal family, so that he could give Yaguo a good place to go.

After everything was done, in the end, Yingkang sent troops to escort Jiang Wuyu, the monarch of Yaguo, and his party to the east.

Yingkang's series of "benevolent and righteous deeds" quickly won the recognition of the eastern countries.

"Your Majesty, the envoys of Zheng Guo ask to see you." Just a few days after escorting Yaguo to the east, the chamberlain came to Hojing with the envoys of Zheng Guo.

Zheng Guo's envoy came.

Ying Kang smiled slightly and said to the waiter: "I have invited the envoy of Zheng Guo to speak." ”

"No--" replied the chamberlain.

Later, Ying Kang ordered Chen Xing to be invited and asked to meet with him with the envoy of Zheng Guo.

When the two of them came to the main hall, Zheng Guo's envoys were already waiting for Yingkang and the others outside the palace.

Ying Kang sat down and said to the waiter: "Xuan Zhengguo's envoys have come to see you." ”

During the summons of the chamberlain, the envoy of Zheng Guo entered the main hall of Hojing.

"Zheng Guo's envoys pay a visit to the Marquis of Guanxi."

"Envoy Zheng, please get up, I don't know what important thing your envoy has to do when he comes to Hojing today?" Ying Kang said to Zheng Guo's envoys.

"I came here for the friendship between the two countries." Zheng Guo's envoy replied.

Friendship between the two countries?

Ying Kang was a little surprised when the envoy said this, "There is no relationship between my Qin people and Zheng Guo, and there is no conflict of interest, talk about friendship with the two countries?" The widow did not understand what the envoy said. ”

Ying Kang has given full play to all his imagination, but he still can't find how many conflicts of interest there are between the two countries, since there is no conflict of interests, naturally there is no such thing as whether the two countries are on good terms or not.

Since the envoy of Zheng Guo can say this, of course, he has his reason, after listening to Yingkang's words, the envoy of Zheng Guo smiled and said: "Your Excellency has misunderstood, I will tell Qin Jun directly." Qin Jun also knew that since Zheng Guo had moved east with the Son of Heaven last time, almost all of Zheng Guo's clans had entered the vicinity of Luoyi. The original territory in Guanzhong continued to remain in the eastern part of Guanzhong. Qin Jun should know about this matter. ”

Ying Kang nodded, "The large area of land east of Hojing is all Zheng Guo's place, and this is very clear to the widow. I wonder what your envoy's purpose is in mentioning this at this time? ”

Zheng Guo's envoy smiled faintly and said, "My lord wants to hand over these lands to the Qin people for you to manage." ”

"Huh?"

After listening to the words of Zheng Guo's envoy, Ying Kang and Chen Xing couldn't help but widen their eyes, "Your envoy is serious about this." ”

You must know that land and people are the most important symbol of a country's strength, and in the Spring and Autumn Period when land is life, there are still people who are willing to take the initiative to hand over their country's land to others.

If it weren't for the water in the brain, the average person wouldn't do this.

Zheng Guo's envoy smiled slightly, "I can come to Hojing today, is it a lie?" Of course it is. But my lord is also conditional. ”

Oh--.

It turns out that people don't give it for free, and people still have conditions.

"Your Excellency, please speak." Ying Kang continued.

Zheng Guo's envoy continued: "Qin Jun also knows that the current Guanzhong is no longer the Guanzhong of the past, Rong Di is rampant, the people are scattered, although Zheng Guo moved east, but most of the land is still in Guanzhong, although there are also troops stationed, but if these troops are used to resist Rong Di's attack, it is obviously not enough, and there is no way to fight." Therefore, after weighing it many times, my lord decided to hand over the original land and people of Zheng State in Guanzhong to the Qin people to manage. After the Qin people took over the land and people in the eastern part of Guanzhong, they had to pay taxes to Zheng Guo every year, I don't know if Qin Jun could agree to such conditions? ”

Oh--, I see.

Ying Kang finally understood what Zheng Guo meant, in fact, it means that now we have no way to manage the original Zheng Guo land in Guanzhong, and we are willing to lease these lands to you Qin people.

After the Qin people took over our original place, they had to pay taxes to our Zheng State.

What a perfect plan!

"I don't know how much tax Zheng Guo has to pay every year?" Without waiting for Yingkang to speak, Chen Xing asked on the side.

"We haven't calculated the amount of this tax yet, but Qin Jun can rest assured that our tax will definitely not exceed the original tax. It will definitely be reduced on the basis of the original. Zheng Guo's envoy said.

After listening to the words of Zheng Guo's envoy, Ying Kang thought for a while and said, "What your envoy said, Ying Kang knows." In the absence of a way to protect his own people, Zheng Guo's approach is also a good choice. Giving the original place to us Qin people is equivalent to handing over the safety of the original land to us, and in the future, Zheng Guo will only collect rent, and you will not have to manage the rest. Isn't that what it means? ”

Zheng Guo's envoy said a little embarrassedly: "What Qin Jun said is good, in fact, after we move east, we have no way and ability to manage the affairs of Guanzhong. There are two purposes for this strategy, one is that after the Qin people have the territory of the original Zheng State, their strength will definitely increase greatly. With such strength, will it be easier to fight against Inurong in the future? ”

"Well--, what your envoy said is not unreasonable." Regarding the words of Zheng Guo's envoys, Ying Kang agreed.

"The second purpose is that we Zheng Guo have lost the land and the people, at least we should get something, right? So as compensation, it is reasonable for Guanxi Hou to give us some food and material compensation, right? ”

After listening to the words of Zheng Guo's envoy, Ying Kang knew that whether it was modern society or ancient Chinese society, there were always many people who could speak well, just like the envoy of Zheng Guo in front of him could be regarded as a person who could speak well in today's society.

That is, ah!

Zheng Guo has given his land and population in Guanzhong to you Qin people, and they should compensate them.

Ying Kang thought for a moment and said, "Actually, what Zheng Envoy said is not unreasonable, since this is the case, the widow will agree to your request." I wonder if your envoy came with the agreement? ”

In fact, Ying Kang understands very well in his heart that Zheng Guo's requirements are not high, since ancient times, it is an eternal truth to farm and pay taxes, and the current Zheng Guo and the Qin people are like the landlords and tenants in the past, Zheng Guo leased his land in Guanzhong to the Qin people, and the Qin people paid a certain amount of rent to Zheng Guo while being responsible for the safety of the land and the people, which is also a fair thing.

After listening to Yingkang's words, Zheng Guo's envoy said: "The foreign minister came here today just to discuss this matter, if Qin Jun has no objection, you can arrange for the minister to go to Xinzheng with me with your agreement." ”

"Okay--, widow, I'll send someone to Xinzheng with you." Ying Kang knew that without further ado, since Zheng Guo was willing to hand over his land in Guanzhong to himself, he must complete this matter as quickly as possible.

After calculations, according to the land area and population of Zheng Guo in Guanzhong, the two sides roughly calculated the annual tax that the Qin people should pay to Zheng Guo.

Yingkang then signed his name on the agreement and asked Chen Xing to go to Xinzheng with the envoys of Zheng Guo with the agreement.

A few days later, Chen Xing returned to Hojing.

According to the agreement between the two parties, the Qin people officially took over the land and people of Zheng State east of Hojing.

In fact, this is a win-win thing, after the Zheng nobles moved away from Guanzhong, the officials and people who stayed behind were actually very bottomless, and now with the protection of the Qin people, the original Zheng people also felt that there was hope in life, and their hearts were stabilized.
