Bai Hui rushed to Zhou Ji with the yellow and white chili pepper in his hand, and asked anxiously:

"Brother, where did this come from?"

Zhou Ji was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart that there was something magical about this little thing. But he replied:

"It was discovered by the ancestors, there has always been planting in my clan, and after the Chu people attacked my ancestral land, we also brought it here to plant, more than a thousand miles south from here, there are two other kinds, not so uncomfortable, it is enough to add a little bit when cooking."

Zhou Ji's words are very clear, this is something originating from Shennongjia.

"Brother, you've made a fortune." Bai Hui pointed at Zhou Ji and laughed.

"Rich?"

Zhou Ji didn't understand how much this kind of little thing could be worth when eating.

Bai Hui shouted at the top of his voice: "Come on, prepare oily noodles, add this." Dahewei listened to the order, turned over the Shennongjia for me, found this thing, and looked for seeds. ”

When a bowl of oily noodles with spicy seeds is brought to everyone, nothing is as delicious as this bowl of noodles.

King Qin ate a round belly, sweating profusely, and his tongue was so hot that he couldn't retract it.

With a big tongue, King Qin said to Zhou Ji: "Brother Wang, when it comes to tasting a hundred herbs, Emperor Yan should be the respect of the world." But when it comes to this food, if Bai Hui claims to be the second in the world, no one dares to call it the first in the world. Is this delicious noodles? ”

"Delicious!" Zhou Ji also has a big tongue.

The yellow-white pepper found in Shennongjia is similar to Havana pepper, and the spiciness belongs to the perverted level.

(Note: Science has proved that China can have different varieties of original chili peppers in the origin of chili peppers, Shennongjia and Xishuangbanna, and the details are not disputed, which is only written in the book after verifying countless materials)

Bai Hui was drunk.

Bai Hui can say that this time it was not in vain, Zigong's well salt, Yungui's chili, these two things are worth it.

Just when the King of Qin thought that Bai Hui could return satisfied, after the first batch of goods was traded, Bai Hui and Zhou Ji began a new round of negotiations.

"Big brother, do you want to expand your territory?"

"You're not talking nonsense, who doesn't want to expand their territory." After finishing speaking, Zhou Ji shook his head helplessly: "Although we have soldiers and horses stationed in Dianchi, the surrounding tribes are not friendly, but they can barely sit down and talk." Further south, there is only a battle to the death. ”

Zhou Ji said that further south, it is to the Indochina Peninsula.

There is no record of that place in the Central Plains, but there are among the tribes of Yunnan and Guizhou, and they have trade and wars with that side. However, the war at this time still took place in the territory of the Huaxia Kingdom according to the calculation of later generations.

Bai Hui said: "Brother, you lend me 20,000 soldiers and horses of all ethnic groups, and from next winter, I will give you 15,000 men every year, and you will give me another 20,000 horses." ”

"Why?" Zhou Jixin said, even if you are commensurate with my brother, this thing is fake, why do you want my soldiers.

Bai Hui continued: "Your soldiers are too weak, I will become stronger after training, and I will bring them weapons when they come back." And then they borrowed this time to help me in the war, and if anyone died, I would compensate his family with five stone of grain, and the weapons and armor he brought with him when he came back with me, and the training should be their salary. ”

Jiupu has no military salary, they are tribal, and when they are gathered, it is called a fight, not a war.

Bai Hui said again: "You see, my Qin royal family, my brother Qin Wang's elder brothers Yingtong and Yingyun are placed here as hostages, and they will also bring people to impart knowledge, teach you to make copper, weave more cloth, make a large number of dried fruits, and harvest countless medicinal herbs or something." ”

Hiss......

Zhou Ji was moved, if his tribe had a strong army, then with the weapons of the Central Plains, then he could indeed expand to the south.

"One more, my Qin official secret method, let your tribe's child birth rate and survival rate increase tenfold."

Zhou Ji was silent.

"There is one condition, the State of Chu always wants to occupy territory with you, you nominally join my Qin State and become a county of the Qin State, old brother, you can be named the Marquis of Liang of the Qin State, and then our Qin State will help you build the country and repair the government. If the state of Chu dares to have a soldier to trouble my elder brother, I will dare to lead the troops to wash their capital. ”

"This, let me think about it."

Although Zhou Ji is the big leader, he also has the largest tribe under his command.

But he can't have the final say in this matter alone.

"By the wayside, I have a clever plan called the Joint Tribal Council, and believe me, you, and all the people of the tribe, will live a human life. Those barbarians to the south are our slaves. I can also tell you, further south, further west, further west, there is a place where their population is larger than the population of our whole world, but they fight with sticks. ”

"This, hehe!" Zhou Ji smiled, smiled and couldn't close his mouth: "How many miles?" ”

"From Dianchi Lake to the west, that is, two thousand and a half miles."

"Not far, not far!"

"What do you mean, old brother?"

"Let's discuss it and give you an answer in a few days, but if it is nominally incorporated into the Qin State, this matter will be more detailed."

"Done!" Bai Hui couldn't even close his mouth when he smiled.

In Shunan Pass, Wei Ran, who had resigned, called over again, and Bai Hui stuffed the Qin State Xiangyin into his arms: "Marquis, the matter of military expenses has been discussed, you don't want a child's temper." ”

Wei Ran directly forced Xiangyin to Bai Hui: "I don't deserve this Xiangguo, whoever wants to be whom." ”

"Jiupu wants to accept the title of Marquis of Qin, how will the history books be written in the future? Let me think about it, I have to think about this, there will definitely be something written in the history books that will leave a name for eternity and so on. ”

"What do you mean?" Wei Ran reached out and grabbed Xiangyin back.

Bai Hui's face changed, and he said very seriously: "Jiupu and hundreds of tribes, large and small, nominally belong to the Qin State, but the details must be argued, since it is in name, then they must retain enough autonomy, among them, the negotiation of our Qin State is not qualified to participate, and the details are afraid that it will be very troublesome." ”

Bai Hui's words were recognized by everyone.

Bai Hui said again: "I don't want to fight with Jiupu, the land of Shunan is high and the water is deep and the miasma is crisscrossed, and our soldiers will be reduced by ninety percent without fighting, and the only way to tie them up with interests is to partner with us." Besides, when King Wu raised troops, they were one of the participants who could cut down the war, to put it bluntly, they were one of our Huaxia. ”

"I'll do it with the captain." Wei Ran would never give up such a big piece of pie.

As Bai Hui said, the person in charge of this matter must remain a legacy for eternity.

Bai Hui continued: "If it is successful, then it is necessary to sacrifice to the heavens first, and the blood is an alliance, which is the king's business. But the specific covenant is the hard work of the marquis. ”
