Chapter 461: Return to Great Qin
Lin Yuyan and the Qin delegation only stayed in Heyin for a few days, and Lin Yuyan led the delegation and Hu to return to Qin.
Going up the river along the river, Xiangao also informed Lin Yuyan of his recent actions in Xingyang: "Your Highness, Your Majesty has already collected 100,000 stones of grain and grass in Xingyang, and the converted old Chu treasures have only flowed into the hands of the Wei magnates in Xingyang, and within a few years, they will definitely not flow into the people!" ”
Lin Yuyan nodded, the treasures of the old Chu are indeed extremely precious, but they can't stand the amount of accumulation of the old Chu for several generations, it is not difficult for Lin Yuyan to guess that if these old Chu treasures flow into the Wei State, if they are not contained, they will definitely be able to quickly cause the depreciation of these old Chu treasures.
Therefore, even if Daqin wanted to trade the treasures of Old Chu with the magnates of the Wei State this time, he only took out the treasures worth 100,000 stone grains first.
"Hmm......" Lin Yuyan nodded, and said the same: "Be sure to escort these 100,000 stones back to Wancheng as soon as possible, and send them to Changsha North County through Shushui and Hanshui!" ”
Knowing the shortage of grain in Changsha North County, Xiangao also nodded, with these 100,000 stone grains and grass, the probability of Changsha North County surviving this winter has increased by two or three percent.
Xiangao also nodded: "Right now, General Ju Xin has already led the Nanyang army to drive Rong Di between Yiluo to the east of Chenggao, and Daqin's fleet borrows the water around Wangji, which must be able to transport these grains to Changsha Beijun as soon as possible." ”
Xiangao also continued: "Changsha Beijun seems to have that cane sugar, which is no different from starch sugar, and it may as well be transported to Wei to sell it in the Wei Kingdom and exchange it for grain. ”
Hearing this, Lin Yuyan frowned and said, "Xiangao, the day before yesterday, Xingyang Shou had already hinted that the merchants of the Qin State would be restricted by the Wei State next......
"The restriction ...... of the Wei State" When Xiangao heard this, the corners of his mouth were hooked, and he hugged his fists and said to Lin Yuyan: "Your Highness don't worry, this time the shortage of food in Daqin is really serious, and Xiangao can't help but Meng Lang a little in order to raise food as soon as possible, but as long as he survives the famine crisis in Daqin, Xiangao will naturally not act as obviously as he does now." ”
"There are still merchants in a certain Great Qin......" Xian Gao smiled, then pointed to the top of the river, and said with a smile: "When His Royal Highness returns to the journey, he will find that in the future, on this big river, there must be no shortage of merchants from Great Qin, even if Wei has restrictions on Qin merchants, but don't forget, Longdong County of Great Qin is the land of Rong people, and the southern part of Great Qin is the former Han Shui Zhuji, Lingnan is despised, at this time there is news about Qin State has not been revealed to Wei State, Great Qin intends to blockade it, within three years, Wei State must be difficult to hear clearly." ”
Hearing this, Lin Yuyan was also shocked, and he also looked at Xian Gao at the moment, and said: "Xian Qing means that Great Qin avoids the exploration of Wei and pretends to be a merchant from other countries to trade with Qin?" ”
"That's exactly what Your Majesty means...... Xian Gao nodded, looked at Lin Yuyan and said: "It's like the cane sugar in Changsha North County, which can be sold in Wei and even the Central Plains countries in the name of merchants of Chu State, after all, Great Qin is not short of merchants from the land of Jing Chu!" ”
"Good!" Xiangao's words seemed to open a door for Lin Yuyan, and at that moment, Lin Yuyan also said bluntly: "This time I returned to Daqin, and the matter of the East Palace Commercial Office will be handed over to Xianqing to take care of!" ”
Hearing this, Xiangao was a little surprised, and asked with some doubts: "Your Highness, is this matter inappropriate, now there is only a business department in the East Palace, and His Majesty is a new commissioner, so he can't ...... such a big task."
Lin Yuyan stopped Xian Gao and continued, and said: "If the Qin State is about the appointment of ministers by bloodline, I am afraid that Qin Xiang will not fall on Han Zi...... Those who can work hard, even if Xianqing wants to hide his edge, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do what he wants, and besides, ......"
Lin Yuyan also looked at Xian Gao, helped his slightly inclined figure up, and said solemnly: "Besides, the East Palace only has a department of commerce, how can it not be a good woman to cook without rice, and now Xian Qing is willing to get rice and grain for me, how can the East Palace be a bag of money and grain that can be asked for by anyone?!" ”
Although Xiangao is proficient in business, he is still a little dull to what Lin Yuyan said, but this sentence is not obscure, what else does Xiangao not understand, Gongziyan's mind will not be willing to be such a money and grain bag, but Xiangao is willing to be this money and grain bag.
What's more, all the money and grain bags were taken out to Gongziyan, this is a kind of trust, Gongziyan almost gave all his confidence to Xiangao, how could Xiangao not know what it means.
"The king treats a certain person as a national soldier, and a certain person should repay him as a national soldier!"
Xiangao's sonorous and powerful words also sounded in the waves of the big river beating the boat, Xiangao's eyes looked at Lin Yuyan sincerely, and he could already see in his eyes that Xiangao was already resolute to Lin Yuyan's death.
Lin Yuyan helped Xian Gao up, and also said: "Xianqing, this is trust, but it is by no means a gift, Xianqing can know, once he takes over the East Palace Commercial Office, what is the responsibility on his shoulders?" ”
"Your Majesty naturally understands...... Xiangao nodded and said, "The minister can die, but he will never drag His Highness down by half a step!" ”
Xiangao's words also made Lin Yuyan laugh: "Xianqing is too worried, this matter is very important, but it is definitely not something that makes Xianqing's life ......"
Xian Gao did not refute this, there seemed to be some familiar scenes in his sight, so Xian Gao pointed his finger and said, "Your Highness, Cheng Gao has arrived ......"
Lin Yuyan looked over, and when he went down the river from Gongdi that day, he saw that the terrain of the big river in the Chenggao area was the most precipitous, and the water flow was the most turbulent, which was an extremely dangerous place.
This is also the reason why even when Daqin is facing famine, Lin Yuyan still advocates building a checkpoint in Chenggao, Ji Zhou Wangji has this precipitous place, but he is a pawn who has no guard here, in Daqin's opinion, it is simply a tyrannical thing!
But since the return of Wei and the learning that Wei had carved out Heyin Yi as a place of trade in order to trade with Qin, Lin Yuyan also gave Cheng Gao another layer of meaning.
It is precisely this meaning that it is also so that the food consumption of Chenggao's construction of the fortress does not need to ask Wancheng for it, and it is very likely that a lot of money and grain will be fed back to Wancheng every year.
That is, Chenggao is used as a place of tariffs, and the checkpoint is cast here, which is naturally a place to resist invasion in wartime, and when there is no war, this place is used as a place for merchants from the Central Plains to go to Daqin to collect tariffs.
In this way, Chenggao may not be able to become a source of wealth for Daqin like Xingyang in Wei.
