Chapter 64: Lobbying

"Since this Xia Yingchun is a descendant of Shu Xiang, why is she surnamed Xia now?" Dai Yan asked curiously. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

In the pre-Qin era, the surname that people called actually represented their bloodline, and the clan was the name of their fiefdom. Like Qin Shi Huang Yingzheng is also known as Zhao Zheng, which is actually because Qin and Zhao are the same clan, and the Ying clan was sealed in Zhao Yi by King Zhou when he created his father, so there was Zhao. Even if the Qin people were later relocated to the frontiers of the Western Zhou Dynasty, their clan was actually still "Zhao".

In today's era, because of the collapse of etiquette, there is a trend of family names in the whole world. Of course, this trend will continue for hundreds of years, and by the Han Dynasty will complete the true unity of surnames.

"Childe, you don't know anything." Pu Yangxing said leisurely, "Back then, Shu Xiang and Xia Ji's daughter had a son, Boshi, and later Boshi made a rebellion in the Jin Kingdom, and his family was wiped out. And only one of Boshi's young daughters survived, because at this time, the Xing clan left by Qu Wu had been destroyed, and Shu Xiang's family, the Yangyu clan, was also involved in the rebellion of the six kings of the Jin State. This woman didn't dare to have any more contact with Shu Xiang's Sheep Tongue family, she only dared to take the surname of her great-grandmother Xia Ji as the mainstay, so she changed her surname to Xia. It is also strange to say that Boshi's daughter later gave birth to only one daughter, and her descendants are all single transmissions, and all of them are daughters. This summer and spring are its descendants. ā€

For Pu Yangxing's words, Dai Yan believed half of it at most. However, this Pu Yangxing is willing to take out this summer Yingchun and dedicate it to himself, and it seems that the pressure he is carrying to find food is indeed very great.

You know, in this era, the value of rare beauties is very high! Since Gou Jian used Xi Shi Zheng Dan to confuse Wu Wangfucha and destroy the Wu Kingdom, the value of beauties has been valued by those in power. And people in this era have also begun to have the concept of "beauty tricks".

However, Dai Yan said that he would eat this set!

Since Pu Yangxing has given such a big gift, he should indeed repay something appropriately. Dai Yan pondered.

"Do you still want food this time?" Dai Yan asked.

"Gongzi's eyes are like torches, and now major powers are breaking out in wars, but Song is the only one who is alone. And the Taoqiu of the Song Kingdom is the center of the world, the place where water transportation meets, and it is the center of the world's merchants. In today's world, in addition to buying grain in Taoqiu, where else can you buy grain? Pu Yangxing said.

"It's no problem to ask for food, but I only have the last 50,000 stone in my hand." Dai Yan said.

A hint of disappointment flashed in Pu Yangxing's eyes, and then he remembered something, "Dare to ask Childe, is there any extra tea you asked the villain to act on your behalf last time?" ā€

Dai Yan was very happy when he mentioned this, "It seems that the sales of tea are not bad?" Here's good news for you, we have found a new source of tea, and now the production of tea has increased greatly, and we can increase the supply to you. However, if I provide you with grain and tea this time, you don't have to buy it from me directly, you can just trade it with horses and cattle. Dai Yan said to him.

Hearing this, Pu Yangxing breathed a sigh of relief. You must know that the price of grain has been rising, and the copper of Zhao and Qi has flowed out in large quantities, which has aroused the vigilance of the two countries. Although the two countries are now at war and do not care about anything, they cannot live with this state of affairs forever.

Although Pu Yangxing is a patriot, he has a very deep background in Zhao. Zhao is located in Jizhou, and most of its own area is mountainous, and there is not much agricultural land for cultivation. Most of the rest of the plains are used for grazing. It can be said that Zhao was the largest animal husbandry country in this era.

Now the Song Kingdom can accept cattle and horses and other livestock to trade, which is of course the best thing.

After achieving his goal, Pu Yangxing quickly quit.

Then Dai Yan went to see Xia Yingchun.

For the descendants of this legendary "peerless enchantress", Dai Yan is quite interested.

"Tell me about your experiences growing up." The two were alone, Dai Yan asked.

"The slave family grew up in Jinyang, and when he was ten years old, he was sold by his father to a Jinyang merchant; The merchant then took me to Handan and sold me to another merchant. The slave family was sold five times in Handan in three years, and finally the slave family arrived at the mansion of Lord Puyang. Lord Puyang brought the slave family to Puyang, and the slave family stayed there for three years. Now Lord Puyang has handed over the slave family to you. Xia Yingchun's voice said softly, and when she talked about her experience of being transferred, it was very natural, as if she was not being bought and sold, but traveling.

Dai Yan listened to Xia Yingchun talk about her experience and fell into deep thought. People in the world often say: The gentleman's ze, the fifth and beheaded. It seems that there is really nothing wrong with this statement. Thinking about Xia Ji, as the princess of Zheng Guo, although she has experienced all kinds of legends in her life, her fate of marrying Qu Wu in the end is actually not bad.

However, now, her descendants can only be reduced to slaves and transferred around.

Although Xia Yingchun made Dai Yan very excited by both her appearance and life experience, he had no intention of eating her now. First, he always thought that good things should be kept for the future to enjoy slowly, and second, he was not sure if this Xia Yingchun was a spy planted by Pu Yangxing here.

Although he eats the "beauty plan", he only wants to eat the beauty, and the "plan" behind the beauty is better to return.

At this time, the capital of Yue was in the capital, and Zhang Chou trembled and walked off the sea boat. The first time he crossed the sea from Qi to Yue, he was not yet able to adapt to such a long journey.

After he had successfully recovered, he quickly showed the Yue people his envoy certificate. Although Yue is located in the south and has a low degree of civilization, it still pays attention to the major events that happened in the Central Plains. Seeing this envoy from an "enemy country", the officials on the seaside did not dare to slack off, and soon sent him to the capital.

Huiji is a small city, which is much inferior to Gusu, the former capital of Wu State. However, the capital of Yu Huiji was an order personally issued by King Goujian!

After Gou Jian destroyed the state of Wu, he saw the pavilion and baby palace built by Fucha for Xi Shi, and deeply felt that the rise and fall of the country had a lot to do with the preferences of the ruler. In his opinion, Gusu, the capital of Wu, was certainly a bigger and more beautiful city, but this city was easy to make the king lose his fighting spirit and was not an ideal capital. Although the capital of Vietnam is dilapidated, it can keep the Vietnamese people high in morale and enterprising spirit!

Zhang Chou soon met King Wujiang of Yue.

As soon as Wujiang saw Zhang Chou, he said to him: "Sir, do you know that my Yue Kingdom is ready to attack Qi State, Sir, as an important minister of Qi State, what are you doing in my Yue Kingdom?" ā€

Zhang Chou saw that King Yue was not kind to him, and he didn't care at all. He said: "The ministers here are here to specifically advise the king to give up his plan to attack Qi. In the eyes of the subordinates, it is the state of Chu that the king should attack, not the state of Qi. ā€

As soon as the important ministers of the Yue Kingdom in Wujiang and the court heard Zhang Chou's words, they immediately laughed, as if they had heard the most ridiculous joke. Wujiang even said directly to Zhang Chou: "Mr.'s words are fallacious! King Chu Zhao once married the daughter of the king of Goujian in my country, and the later king of Chu Hui had the blood of the king of Goujian in my country. Now that our country and the state of Chu are an alliance formed by blood, it is extremely strong, why should my Yue country attack the state of Chu? ā€

Zhang Chou smiled and said to King Wujiang of Yue: "There is no forever strong alliance in the world. The subordinates dared to ask the king of Yue, can the Yue country send troops to attack Qi, can it be of any benefit to the Yue country? Now that the state of Chu has launched an offensive in Si and swept through the Jiuyi of the East China Sea, the small states of Dongyi, which were originally dependent on the Yue State and the Qi State, now have to rely on the Chu State. Now, even if the Yue State wants to attack the Qi State, it must first cross the territory of the Chu State. And even if the king of Yue really attacked my Qi country and got the size of the land, he still had to manage it through the land of the Chu country, is such a territory really what the Yue country wants? And now that the territory of the Chu State has expanded to Sishang, directly to the East China Sea, the Yue State has now been surrounded by the Chu State from the west and the north, and it can be said that the passage from the Yue State to the Central Plains has been mastered by the Chu State. The Yue State is not going to attack the Chu State now, but it is going to attack the Qi State, and in general, the Yue State cannot be called the king; In a small way, the desire of the Vietnamese country to dominate in the south cannot be realized. Your Majesty doesn't know why the Yue Kingdom abandoned the Chu State and attacked my Qi State? ā€

Wujiang listened to Zhang Chou's words and fell into deep thought, then got up and bowed to Zhang Chou Yingying, and said, "Mr. really woke up the dreamer with a word!" Now my Yue country has indeed been surrounded by the Chu country, my Yue country is a barren country, if the Chu country cuts off the passage to the Central Plains, my Yue country loses the products from the Central Plains, then our country will not die. However, the Chu country is 5,000 miles away, with a million armor, how can I fight against it? ā€

Zhang Chou saw that King Yue agreed with his statement, and then said: "Back then, Wu Guofu sent Qi to weaken the country's strength, and even lost the country; However, the king of Wu was defeated by Chu, and the five wars were broken, and the state of Wu was greatly expanded, why not? This is just the southern soldiers adapting to the battlefield in the south. Now although the Chu State is 5,000 miles away and has a million armor, the soldiers of the Chu State are scattered everywhere. From the state of Chu stationed troops in the west to defend against Qin, to the northern part of Chu to defend against Han and Wei, and the last commander of the king of Chu personally attacked Sishang, the current defense line of Chu is as long as 3,500 li, and no matter how strong the troops are, they are scattered by such a long front, if Yue attacks Chu from the south, how many troops can Chu have to resist? ā€

King Yue took the case and said to Zhang Chou: "What Mr. said is really reasonable, my Yue Kingdom should attack Chu State in the near future as Mr. said!" ā€
