Chapter 524: Promise to help Chu
Shen Baoxu was determined to die, and finally moved the Duke of Qin, and the Duke of Qin also sent the imperial physician of the Qin State to treat him, because Shen Baoxu had not eaten rice for many days, although he was bent on death, but because of his strength, the wound was not deep and could not be fatal.
After the imperial physician of the Qin State healed him, he was finally fine, and after the courtier of the Chu State woke up, he invited the Duke of Qin.
After agreeing with Han Kui, Duke Qin's mind had already taken a turn, so Duke Qin also promised him: "Qin State can send reinforcements, but the Qin army must not go out of the territory of Qin State, just for defense, whether or not you can save Chu, you still need the Chu people themselves, and Great Qin can support a batch of armaments of Chu State!" ”
"This ......" Shen Baoxu knew that this was already the biggest concession of the Duke of Qin, and he was afraid that even if he was looking for death once, he would not be able to say that he would be able to move the Duke of Qin, so Shen Baoxu was also grateful to the Duke of Qin and said: "Thank you for the high righteousness of the Duke of Qin, if the State of Chu can restore the country, it will be a good alliance with the State of Qin for eternity!" ”
Duke Qin waved his hand, how could there be an eternal alliance between the princes and the countries, it is nothing more than today's interests are connected, that is, they can come together and act together, once there is a conflict of interest tomorrow, I believe that the other party will never hesitate to stab himself fiercely.
Qin Gong finally asked Shen Baoxu to lie down and said, "You lost too much blood yesterday, so it's better to lie down and recuperate for a period of time before returning to Jingdi." ”
When Shen Baoxu heard this, he shook his head and responded with a fist: "The king is now taking refuge in the territory of Qin, and the people with lofty ideals of Chu are still fighting against the Wu army in Jingdi, how can a certain person be at peace here, and ask the Duke of Qin to agree and let him return to Chu as soon as possible!" ”
Hearing this, Duke Qin was also a little moved, looked at Shen Baoxu, and sighed and said: "The state of Chu can have ministers like you, but the state of Chu will not die, and the day of restoration is just around the corner!" ”
Shen Baoxu said modestly: "How dare the foreign minister bear such a false praise from the Duke of Qin!" ”
Qin Gong shook his head, held Shen Baoxu's hand and said: "I can afford it, if Shen Qing has no way out in Chu in the future, he can go to Qin, and Gu Daqin will wait for Shen Qing!" ”
Shen Baoxu politely declined: "Thank you Duke Qin for treating me like this, but a certain generation is a Chu minister, and he must not bear Chu." ”
Duke Qin waved his hand, the reason why he admired Shen Baoxu was to reaffirm Bao Xu's loyalty to the Chu State, if Shen Baoxu easily agreed to Duke Qin's invitation, it would inevitably make Duke Qin look down on this minister who saved Chu.
Therefore, the Duke of Qin promised to apply for Baoxu, and he would make the prince Yan of the Qin State as the commander-in-chief, leading the Great Qin Yunmeng Army, the Xiangyang Army, and the Han Water Army to display all the battleable soldiers on the north bank of the Great River, which is also an armament to support tens of thousands of people in the Chu State, and it is also a place of refuge for the army of the Chu State.
After Shen Baoxu thanked him, after bowing to Qin Gong, he proposed to say goodbye, and Qin Gong also agreed.
Seeing this minister who saved Chu, after his disciples slowly marched south out of Wancheng on a stretcher, it also moved the Duke of Qin again, and at that moment he also sent two imperial doctors of the Qin State to follow Shen Baoxu all the way south.
This can be regarded as the Duke of Qin's generous treatment of loyal ministers.
As for Lin Yuyan received the edict from the Qin Palace, it was after Shen Baoxu left, and the rare peace during this time also made Lin Yuyan feel some rare enjoyment.
Since the battle of the Jing War, so far the Qin State has survived the most famine moment, this year alone, the Great Qin reclamation fields are more than doubled, as if the original sparsely populated Jiangxia and Nanjun are also because of the migration of millions of Jing people, and the villages face each other, and the Qianmo is connected.
Although the grain output of Daqin this year can only sustain the domestic food consumption of Daqin, it can also be expected that once the wasteland reclaimed in the winter of this year is cultivated in the spring of next year and harvested in the autumn of next year, Daqin will be able to make up for the emptiness of the treasury for many years.
Nowadays, the coins of Daqin are already copper coins that are fully used with "outer circle and inner square", which are called "Qin coins", and it is precisely because of this that in the mainstream cities of Daqin, the trading of Qin coins has replaced the original custom of bartering or bartering grain.
Even the townships that set up post stations, or the towns around the post stations, Qin coins also became popular, and in the next few years, Qin coins still penetrated into remote towns, so that Great Qin only used "Qin coins" as a trading thing.
A few months ago, the old Deng family in Nanjun found a copper mine in the clan land, which was privately mined and minted Qin coins.
The Qin coins minted by his private are rough in texture, and they can be seen with the naked eye that there is an obvious gap with the Qin coins minted by the Great Qin Mansion, so not long after, he was discovered by Ming Zifu of Nanjun, and Ming Zifu also knew that the private minting of Qin coins was a felony, so this matter was very important, and it was reported to the direction of Wancheng.
Therefore, on the night when Ming Zifu's letter arrived in Wancheng, a column of hundreds of guards set off from Wancheng and set off towards Nanjun.
After arriving in Nanjun, this column of Praetorian Guards directly bypassed the intricate Nanjun Mansion, and only informed Ming Zifu that they took the old Deng clan at night, and more than 100 vassal households attached to this clan were all taken down.
It seems that the clan leaders and others of this clan were all killed by the rod outside the vegetable market, even if they were ordered by the clan to mine copper ore and mint coins privately, they were all demoted to subordinate people, exiled for hundreds of miles, and engaged in "ghost salary city dan" and other subordinate affairs at the borders of Daqin.
This kind of criminal law implicates hundreds of households in Nanjun, which is not insignificant, and the Great Qin government has not removed or relaxed the criminal law on those who break the law because "the law does not hold the people accountable", which also deters the small people in the Quartet.
After that time, Nanjun, Jiangxia and other places rich in copper mines, some powerful people also had a strong interest in privately mining copper mines and privately minting Qin coins.
If you take the initiative to go to the government like this, you can still get some rewards from the government, but if you are discovered by the government, even if these old clans have their own connections and the officials protect each other, but if they are known by the East Palace, it seems that all the first offenders will be killed with a cane, and the accomplices will be exiled as "ghost salary city dan", and the huge family will be destroyed when they say it, which is really terrifying.
This kind of effect of killing chickens and setting an example to monkeys is also what Lin Yuyan wants, so now Daqin can be regarded as accumulating a certain amount of strength.
This is also the reason why Qin Gong's attitude towards aiding Chu is "up to the point".
Great Qin can come to the aid of Chu, but it is to aid Chu with momentum, if the Wu people do not come to attack, the pawns of Great Qin will never cross the river! Please pay attention to the latest chapters in the future
