Chapter 197: Transaction Expands
That is, at the time when the Northern King Miquan broke his mouth and scolded, Shouwang Huanyu, who had laid down Jingling, also did not care about the mess left by the Northern Wang's army, so he sent the military advisor Ma Liang as an envoy to Jiangxia.
What was said was just one thing, that is, trading grain with Daqin, Lin Yuyan only then understood why Shouwang Huanyu took a risk to attack Jingling, it must be that the food of Shouwang's army was difficult to support, especially the strategy of the northern king Miquan's strong wall and clearing the wilderness, before leaving, a fire burned the Wulin granary, giving Shouwang Huanyu an almost empty shell of Jingling, and a large number of homeless homeless people.
Don't look at Shou Wang Huan Yu's attack on the Ling is a big victory, but Lin Yuyan, who reacted, understood the danger in this matter, if there is a mistake in any of the links, it will definitely be a defeat, this matter can be seen Shou Wang Huan Yu's courage and self-confidence, but it is not a very small feasibility of the strange trick!
Shouwang Huanyu and Beiwang Miquan, in fact, Lin Yuyan trusts Shouwang Huanyu more.
Shouwang Huanyu this person, although fierce, and there are many generals under his command, but the threat is not as big as the North King Miquan, after all, the North King Miquan is a poisonous snake, always want to stare at the prey in front of him, thinking about when to take a bite, and the North King Miquan is a person, moody, short-sighted, if one day he feels that Daqin is rich, he must have come up with some crooked ideas, compared to this, Lin Yuyan chose Shouwang Huanyu as a frank tiger as a neighbor.
Shou Wangjun's military advisor Ma Liang also had a deal with Lin Yuyan, although it was not pleasant, but Lin Yuyan was very impressed by this person, but compared to the appearance when he saw it at the beginning, this time Ma Liang's sideburns were all white!
This surprised Lin Yuyan, who noticed Lin Yuyan's surprised look, and also smiled and said: "Due to exhaustion, His Royal Highness Gongzi Qin doesn't need to be surprised......
Compared with the threat during the first negotiation, Ma Liang's posture has been put down a lot, and even his attitude towards Lin Yuyan is that of an old friend.
Lin Yuyan nodded, and then said to Ma Liangming: "Brother Ling has already sent more than 3,000 slaves to the county, and the promised 10,000 stone of grain should also be in the hands of Brother Ling, and now Jingling is already in the hands of King Shoujun, counting the distance to and fro, it should be able to reach King Jing Ling the day after tomorrow, that is, in front of King Shou......
When Ma Liang heard this, the slight tension on his face eased a little, but he immediately looked at Lin Yuyan and thanked him: "Thank you Gongzi Qin for your righteousness!" ”
Lin Yuyan said with a stupid expression: "Righteousness? Don't dare to take this ...... It's just a deal between merchants, and besides...... After all, not long ago, the Shouwang Army wanted to send troops to attack the southern border of my Great Qin, and now I don't know if this move is to raise tigers......
Hearing this, Ma Liang said with a straight face: "Although Qin Gongzi does not make friends with King Shou, he must know that King Shou is a person who keeps his promises. ”
In this regard, Lin Yuyan also said with a smile: "I hope that the Shou Wang Army and the Great Qin Bingfeng will never fight!" ”
Ma Liang nodded, and continued to Lin Yuyan: "Young Master Qin, I heard my brother-in-law say that Great Qin wants to buy a large number of slaves? ”
"Hmm!" Lin Yuyan nodded, but he didn't make it clear, but said sloppily: "In recent years, Nanjun and Jiangxia have all been attached to Daqin, and Yingchuan has been recovered in the north......
Sure enough, hearing this, Ma Liang's inner uneasiness was slightly relieved, although he didn't know how much of it was true or false in this Qin Gongzi Ying Yan's words, Ma Liang still chose to deceive himself into believing it.
As soon as Lin Yuyan's words changed, he asked, "Ma Junshi's envoy to Jiangxia shouldn't be to ask about Brother Ling, right?" ”
In this regard, Ma Liang also exhaled and said, "Qin Gongzi, since you know the meaning of so-and-so, why do you knowingly ask?!" ”
Looking at Ma Liang's eyes that saw through him, Lin Yuyan also laughed dryly, and said, "I did expect some ...... in this matter."
Ma Liang directly got straight to the point and said: "I'm afraid that the grain of ten thousand stones is not enough for the hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Shouwang Army, so Liang came here to ask Gongzi Qin a question...... I wonder if Gongzi Qin is interested in slaves anymore? ”
Hearing this, Lin Yuyan tapped his index finger on the table, as if he was thinking, but he was actually waiting for Ma Liang to continue.
Sure enough, the situation was urgent, and Ma Liang couldn't help beating around the bush like that, and said directly: "If the Qin State needs slaves, King Shou is willing to ...... the people of Jiangxia Even the people of Changsha County traded with the Qin State! ”
Hearing this, Lin Yuyan also gasped, I have to say, Shouwang Huanyu's tone is too big, the people of Jiangxia are also the people under the rule of the original Northern King Miquan, as for Changsha County, that is the core of Jing State, like the capital of Jing State, that is, Yingdu, is located in Changsha County, which is also the richest county in Jing State, and the land of a single county is sitting on millions of people!
"Really?" Lin Yuyan asked rhetorically.
Out of the old Chu State's "Huang Lao's technique" way of governing the country, the Jingchu area, that is, the Dajiang River Basin, is not much to the people, after all, overcrowded, the number of people who starve to death in Jing every year is calculated in hundreds of thousands, like Shou Wang Huan Yu and Beiwang Miquan's view of human life is very thin, although most of them are from the common people.
Hearing the word Qin Gongzi, Ma Liang already had a hint of other premonitions, but he still explained: "If the Qin State is interested, King Shou is willing to trade 50,000 slaves with the Qin State every year!" ”
"This ......" Lin Yuyan hesitated.
Seeing Lin Yuyan's reaction, Ma Liang also thought that it would be difficult for the Qin State to digest such a large slave population, so he changed his tone and said: "If Gongzi Qin thinks that the number of people is too much, it can be 30,000, and as for the grain to be traded, it can also be ......."
As Ma Liang spoke, Lin Yuyan's brows furrowed a little deeper, and the latter immediately waved his hand and said, "Ma Junshi misunderstood, the more slaves are better for Daqin!" ”
"Your Highness, is this a transaction to deal with 50,000 slaves per year?" Ma Liang asked in surprise.
Lin Yuyan said with a smile: "Fifty thousand...... Even if it's 100,000, or even more, Daqin can still trade! ”
Hearing this, Ma Liang was unexpectedly happy, but immediately his heart chuckled, and his eyes became deeper, looking at this Qin Gongzi Yingyan, and his brows furrowed without a trace......
