Chapter 182: Be kind to the messenger
"Let me introduce you to you, this is the envoy sent to our Qianyi by Master Liu Tong, the master of Qianyi." Yingkang introduced Yingzhao and Zhao Boyu.
Don't say you don't know, but be shocked when you say it.
This time he only went to Sancheng for a few days, and he brought back a doctor and an envoy to Qianyi, and it seemed that he was still here to monitor them.
Looking at Yingzhao and Zhao Boyu with a surprised look, Yingkang introduced to Ren: "This is my third brother Yingzhao, who is responsible for Longchuan's household registration and grain farming; This name is Zhao Boyu, and he is in charge of the military of Qianyi. ”
After listening to Yingkang's introduction, Ren Ji hurriedly bowed his hand and said: "Ren came to Qianyi on the order of my master, and I hope you will take care of it in the future!" ”
The words of the people were already so polite, Yingzhao had no choice but to give up his hand and say: "Welcome, welcome to Qianyi on a business trip, but this Qianyi is not as good as Sancheng, and the conditions are difficult and I hope to bear it." ”
Since Yingzhao had already spoken, Zhao Boyu had no choice but to arch his hand with a gloomy face: "I've seen a bad trip." "I want to go all over again.
Yingkang knew that the two of them were full of unhappiness, but it was not easy to explain too much in front of Ren Ji, so he took Ren Ji to a small courtyard not far from his mansion and settled Ren Ji there.
When I returned to the mansion, I saw where Yingzhao and Zhao Boyu were waiting.
"I knew you were going to wait for me." Ying Kang smiled and stepped forward to say to Ying Zhao and Zhao Boyu.
"What the hell is going on, didn't you go to Sancheng to meet Sanpan? Why did you bring back such a birdman, what the hell is going on? Zhao Boyu was anxious, and he didn't wait for Yingzhao to ask, so he said it first.
Ying Kang didn't answer his question, but said to the two of them with a smile: "Let's go back to the house first, and I'll explain to you slowly." ”
After walking into the hall of the mansion, Ying Kang still did not answer Zhao Boyu's question, but looked at Ying Zhao, "The third brother also has doubts about this matter, right?" ”
Yingzhao then said: "That's right, brother, think about it, we finally have a chassis of our own in Guanzhong, why do you give us such a messenger from the scattered city?" Is this clearly asking people to spy on us? With the supervision of others, how can we live here in the future? Why do you want to continue to develop? ”
Ying Kang smiled faintly after hearing this, "Third brother, your worries are correct, and I understand the truth you said, but judging from the current situation of our Qin people, I have to do this." ”
"It has to be? This is really not interesting, if we don't take the initiative to apply, I don't believe that he can send an envoy to Qianyi? Zhao Boyu said angrily.
"What you said is very good, if we don't take the initiative to apply, Sanguo really won't send an envoy to Qianyi." Then Ying Kang's voice changed: "Although the Sanguo will not send envoys to Qianyi, they will cut off or reduce our supply of grain and grass this year, but they may also unite with other countries to continue to find things for us Qin people in Guanzhong." At that time, it will be difficult for us to continue to gain a foothold in Guanzhong. ”
"I know this, but even in order to continue to maintain relations with the scattered countries, we can't accept their envoys, which is tantamount to putting a shackle around our own necks." Yingzhao said.
After listening to the words of Ying Zhao and Zhao Boyu, Ying Kang said: "The purpose of my trip to Sancheng is to ease our relationship with Sanguo. When I arrived in Sancheng, I also learned some of the reasons. To be precise, the reason why Sanguo intends to reduce our grain and grass supply is mainly instigated by the prince Zhao of Sanguo below. ”
"I've also heard that this prince Zhao is bent on opposing our alliance with the Sanguo."
"Although Prince Zhao is bent on opposing the union between Sanguo and us, judging from the current situation, it is not the time for us to turn against Sanguo. After all, although our population has increased and the land has been reclaimed, before the harvest next year, if there is no supply of grain and grass from scattered countries, all this will come to naught. Therefore, at this time, we must lower our posture, let the scattered countries continue to believe in us, and continue to provide us with food, grass and other support. So I took the initiative to apply for Sanguo to appoint officials to us Qianyi, and in the end, Sanpanzi agreed to let Xiangguo Liu be the same doctor of Qianyi, and appointed me as the Sima of Qianyi. In this way, Qianyi has become Sanguo's own land, since Sanguo regards our Qianyi as its own place, can it still be stingy with us? ”
After listening to Yingkang's explanation, Yingzhao said: "The method is good, but I don't know if people will have other ideas, whether it can be as we wish, and it is easy to meet our conditions." ”
"It's up to us to serve this Ren Lord. Although Liu Tong is also our doctor of Qianyi, he is the minister of the scattered country and will not come to Qianyi. That's why I sent such a messenger here. As long as we serve this messenger well, our requests will of course be easily met in the future. Ying Kang said to Ying Zhao and Zhao Boyu with a smile.
"But if he stays with us all the time, it will affect our own development, and besides, I am used to being idle and casual, and I am not at all used to living under the supervision of others."
After listening to Zhao Boyu's words, Ying Kang smiled, "We can let him come, of course we can let him go, as for when you want him to leave Qianyi, it's not very easy." ”
"So you've got a way to figure it out?" Zhao Boyu asked happily.
"Of course there is a way, but it is not necessary to use it now." Then Ying Kang explained to Zhao Boyu: "Early tomorrow morning, you will take this envoy to all parts of Longchuan to have a look, and by the way, tell others about the situation here, so as to show our sincerity." ”
"Understood, then I'll go first." With that, Zhao Boyu got up.
Seeing this, Yingzhao also got up and said, "Then we will leave first." You've just come back, go meet Princess Ruoxi! ”
After the two left, Yingkang went to his bedroom in the backyard.
Ruoxi was reading a book, and when she saw Yingkang coming in, she got up and said, "I'm back, did this trip go well?" ”
Ying Kang smiled: "I went out in person, can it not go well?" ”
Ruoxi smiled, "You, you are not subtle at all, this is not what you have always been!" ”
"Be subtle in front of others, and don't use it in front of your own people!" Then Ying Kang said: "This time I went to Sancheng, I once again deeply felt the gap between our Qianyi and the Guanzhong country, and then think about you, as the princess of the kingdom of Qiu, for me to marry in such a difficult place, wronged you." ”
After listening to the words, Ruoxi said: "Don't blame yourself, husband, marrying you is actually my blessing." Although I can marry the prince of any country in Guanzhong, I may not find someone like you who treats me sincerely. ”
"Madame said that it was funny, any prince in Guanzhong will treat you sincerely when he marries you, unlike me who can only let you suffer with us."
"My husband is wrong, they may treat me sincerely, but none of them will come to Guanzhong from the far west for me like you, let alone build a city and establish a fiefdom for me. I'll identify you as a person because of you. With that, Ruoxi stepped forward and gently leaned on Yingkang's shoulder.
