Just when the negotiating parties were nervously sending back the content of the treaty initialled by the meeting, a small matter made Shangwen have to solve it.

The contradiction between Han Fei, the new prime minister of South Korea, and Yao Jia, the ambassador of Qin to South Korea, is very sharp, because Yao Jia is one of the people who conspired with Li Si to get him to prison. Now the two have to deal with each other because of Qin's increasing foreign trade. As soon as the two met, it was conceivable.

The hatred between Han Fei and Yao Jia has grown. But Yao Jia is a Zongheng family. Naturally ignore this person. But Han Fei hated the Zongheng family from the bottom of his heart, especially Yao Jia who caused him to be imprisoned. It can be said that the two are incompatible.

It was not until Han Fei asked Shang Wen in the palace to replace the ambassador of Qin. Shang Wencai had to reconsider this matter.

Because with the establishment of the Qin-Han Alliance, and the subsequent large-scale commercial activities. The work of ambassadors will become very important. In particular, communicate frequently. Communicate some business. This forced Shang Wen to reconsider the replacement. At the heart of the work is business and trade activities.

"Lord Yao, can I talk to you?" Shang Wen walked into Yao Jia's room and said. At the beginning, Yao Jia took the initiative to ask to come to South Korea, because Li Si failed to run for prime minister, and he had a very close relationship with Li Si, so he took the initiative to transfer from a secretary to South Korea as an ambassador by taking advantage of the vacancy of ambassador to South Korea. Unexpectedly. Unexpectedly, Han Fei became the prime minister of South Korea. This made Yao Jia often unexpected.

"Oh, Prime Minister. Xia Guan has seen the Prime Minister. Please. Saying that, Yao Jia respectfully invited Shang Wen in. Yao Jia understood that Shang Wen came here, and it must have been Han Fei's initiative to ask for it. Moreover, it was this prime minister who saved Han Fei in the first place. He is also a person of Lis. Seemingly. Yao Jia had already made up his mind to resign.

"I'm here today to talk about the Cabinet. You know, I've had a lot of tough diplomatic issues since I took office. For example, Yan State, Zhao State, Qi State and so on. Shang Wen said straight to the point.

Yao Jia was about to talk about the resignation, but when he heard Shang Wen say other things, he calmed down a little and waited.

"My cabinet members are not very complete at the moment. There is a lack of a large number of people, and I am currently nominated for the position of deputy prime minister. The rest. They were all succeeded by the original officials. Considering the complexity of additive. I want to appoint a secretary of state. I heard that Master Yao is a Zongheng family. The position of Secretary of State, I think, is a perfect fit for Lord Yao. So. I would like to invite you to join the Cabinet. Is Lord Yao willing? Shang Wen said very sincerely.

"Secretary of State?" Yao Jia said with some confusion.

"Yes, Secretary of State, that's in charge of foreign affairs. All. Foreign affairs. Shang Wen waved emphatically.

"I don't know, is Lord Yao interested?" Shang Wen said.

Yao Jia apparently didn't understand what the secretary of state meant.

"You know, the state of Qin is currently making huge changes. According to the current state of military readiness, Qin can destroy all the countries within ten years. However, taking into account the problem of the consumption of national power. Therefore, the king of Qin took my advice and used commercial activities or foreign trade exports to gradually consume the goods of the six countries. So. There are more or less new diplomatic crises in the Qin state. Or friction, foreign affairs will only be a lot more than before. And the current situation is very complicated. There is a great need for diplomats like you to come forward and settle some matters. So. I cordially invite you to join the Cabinet as Secretary of State. Shang Wen waved his hand and said.

"Does Lord Yao accept this offer?" Shang Wen asked again.

"It's, it's, it's just, it's just not understood yet." Yao Jia was a little confused. He couldn't even understand what Shang Wen was saying.

"Let's put it this way." Shang Wen waved his hand and began to look for examples.

Shang Wen's fingers kept shaking, but he really couldn't find a good example.

"Lord Yao might as well understand it this way. The Secretary of State represents the King of Qin and represents me. Handle all foreign affairs. It's about dealing with the Six Nations. But there is a core in this foreign affairs, and it is guaranteed that this core is done. For example, our merchants suffered from unequal tariffs, and I couldn't deal with it in time, so I sent you to deal with it. You can take full responsibility, whether it's intimidation or threats. Anyway, put things in order. Can't settle it. As long as you propose to send troops. The Cabinet will consider it. Then we will send troops to solve this matter by force. Then, you can talk about it again. Shang Wen said almost collapsed.

Yao Jia seemed to be still thinking. Shang Wen had no choice but to continue to explain.

"It's okay to use monetary aid, but it's better not to use the money. Because of the domestic use of this money, a relevant committee was formed. They'll look into it. The best way. Adopt commercial cooperation, or use force to strike. That is, the Secretary of State can propose a threat of force. The Marines will help resolve all disputes. Shang Wen really couldn't explain any more.

"Does Lord Yao accept this position?" Shang Wen asked again.

"Yes, the lower officials are willing." Yao Jia said immediately. He had just carefully pondered what Shang Wen had said. He believes that Shang Wen's example provides more room for it. First of all, Zonghengjia is no longer just lobbying. Rather, it is lobbied with a strong backing. At the same time there is greater autonomy in the hands. Although there is a core mentioned in the middle. But this core is far more professional than mere lobbying. Because, there are huge business interests in the middle. This makes the client specific. The state is very general, but the commercial interests are more concrete.

The secretary of state has far more authority than any previous ruler. Zhang Yi and Su Qin probably don't have such a big authority. Shangwen's secretary of state is establishing diplomacy as a profession. avoided the embarrassing situation of temporary cameos in later generations.

"Then congratulations to Lord Yao. In the order of succession, the secretary of state will be ranked fourth. Shang Wen took the initiative to hold Yao Jia's hand and said.

"Fourth, what fourth?" Yao Jia obviously didn't understand what Shang Wen meant.

"Nothing." Shang Wen said.

"There's a lot of business for the secretary of state. I think Mr. Yao would like to hear some of my views. Shang Wen said and asked Yao Jia to re-seat. The title also has the original "Lord Yao", after all, Shangwen and Yao Jia are not familiar. Now changing to "Mr. Yao" is obviously a step further.

Yao Jia sat down again.

"First of all, the traditional foreign policy, we have readjusted a large part. For the six-nation side. We are not advocating the unification of the six countries by force. That is, our diplomatic service center has the original military adjustment to the current business. Shang Wen said.
