Liu Xin laughed and said: "Signing a treaty is such a simple matter, how can it be done overnight?" Only after repeated negotiations, it is best to determine what is settled, and everyone will consciously abide by it. However, it is already very good that you can achieve such results on your first mission, and I still have to give you a credit. ”

Although this evaluation was already very high, Cai He was still slightly disappointed, and couldn't help but ask again: "What do you mean, sister-in-law, don't pay attention to these national letters?" ”

Liu Xin waved his hand and said, "Of course, you have to ignore it, how can you ignore it." We can only partially accept their conditions. For example, paper, you can sell some to them, but there must be a certain amount of money per year. Another example is that their caravans should move freely within the territory of the Han Dynasty, which cannot be done, but their caravans can be allowed to enter the bazaar of Maoling to trade. ”

Cai He "Huo" stood up and arched his hand and said, "Sister-in-law, I know." Tomorrow I will set out for Shikoku again to inform them of my sister-in-law's revised conditions, and try to conclude the treaty as soon as possible. ”

Cai Jue was taken aback, quickly looked at Liu Xin, and said, "Master, Cai He has just come back, and you have to let him go out again!" You see if it's ......"

Liu Xin also laughed and said, "Cai He, you stupid boy is very active, if I let you out again, I'm afraid your sister won't let me enter the room." ”

Cai Jueqiao's face flushed, and she said coquettishly: "Master, what are you talking about?" ”

Liu Xin smiled and said, "Well, don't talk about it." Cai He, when you return from this mission, you won't just bring a few copies of the national letter. ”

Cai He touched his head and said with a smile: "My brother-in-law didn't say that I forgot, they also gave my brother-in-law a lot of gifts, including all kinds of gold and silver wine vessels, jewelry agate, BMW light fur, and, ......."

Speaking of this, Cai He suddenly stopped, and kept aiming his eyes at Cai Jue.

Cai Jue snorted and said, "Did they send many beauties to your sister-in-law?" Why don't you bring it in, is your sister a jealous person? ”

Cai He quickly lowered his head and didn't dare to speak.

Liu Xin had already heard the sour taste in Cai Jue's words, and couldn't help laughing: "Beauty is nothing, people send it, let's accept it." Let them do some chores in the house first, and then release them after a few years. If they are willing to go home, then send them back, if they want to stay in Dahan, find a suitable person to marry them, isn't it a very simple thing? ”

A few months ago, Liu Xin returned to Xiangyang from the Western Regions and also brought back a group of young girls, including fifty beautiful Dawan girls who were paid tribute by King Mozhiti of Dawan. At the beginning, these Dawan girls were not sent to the state governor's mansion, but were temporarily placed in the military camp in the west of the city. Later, when Liu Xin took them into the mansion, he was very blinded by several women, but fortunately Liu Xin didn't plan to touch them, so he didn't arouse public anger. Now that Cai He has brought back a group of interracial beauties, Liu Xin naturally wants to say things in front, so as not to cause displeasure to Ma Yun and others.

Cai Jue listened to Liu Xin's words, and suddenly felt that he was suspected of interfering with Liu Xin's favored maidservant, which was against women's morals, and hurriedly said: "Master, you just want to keep them, and the concubine will not have an opinion." ”

Liu Xinming knew that her words were insincere, and he didn't argue with her, and of course he wouldn't order those women to be brought in to admire them in person, so he just smiled and said, "Cai He, you have made a meritorious mission this time, what reward do you want?" ”

Cai He straightened his chest and said: "Serving my sister and uncle is a matter within the scope of my subordinates, and my subordinates don't dare to ask for any reward." If the brother-in-law can trust his subordinates, the subordinates request to leave for Kangju and other countries again as soon as possible to sign the treaty. ”

Hearing that he was a "sister-in-law" and a "subordinate" again, Xia Feifei, the little maid standing on the side, couldn't help but laugh out loud. Cai He couldn't help but look stunned when he saw the little girl's disgusted and happy look.

Liu Xin saw all this in his eyes, waved his hand, and said: "Cai He, now that the weather is getting cooler, it has begun to snow in some places in the north, and the roads are difficult to navigate, and even the caravan will stop soon." If you are sent to these countries at this time, I am afraid that it will give them the impression that we can't wait to sign this treaty, and they will be even more careful. ”

After a pause, Liu Xin continued: "Negotiation requires both strength and skill. In the face of these countries, our big man is a behemoth, and the strength is there, and what is needed now is a small skill. Anyway, we are not in a hurry, wait until the beginning of spring next year, or find a caravan to bring back the revised treaty, or wait for them to send someone to negotiate, and always hold the initiative firmly in our hands. ”

Cai He nodded and said, "I understand, I want to hang them first." ”

"Yes, yes, that's the truth, you can teach! Cai He, you have really improved now. Liu Xin laughed, pointed at Xia Feifei with his hand, and said, "That's it, your Cai family is a big family in Xiangyang, and nothing else will be missing." This little girl is well-behaved and has a lot of insight in doing things, so let her follow you in the future. ”

Cai He and Xia Feifei didn't expect Liu Xin to have such an arrangement, and they exclaimed "ah" together. Cai Jue was also stunned, and then smiled: "Since the master has already arranged it, Cai He, you can take the little girl back." ”

Seeing Cai He and Xia Feifei leave the hall with their heads down, Liu Xin couldn't help but sigh secretly. He is not reluctant to give this little girl, even if he does not reward this little girl to Cai He, in a few days, this little girl will be sent to other places. After all, the place where this little girl is on duty is in the hall and study, and Liu Xin often has to meet some important people here, so it is inevitable that some secrets will accidentally fall into their eyes. To be on the safe side, all the maids who rotate in these two places will not be too long, in case they get hold of the secrets of Shuta.

Liu Xin felt sad that the social status of these maids was not much better than a piece of goods, and they could be given away casually or even executed at will. But even Liu Xin has no way to change this phenomenon, after all, he is now in such a society, and he has no choice but to follow the crowd.

Cai Jue has already instructed the maids in the mansion to send the things brought by Cai He into the backyard, and as for the young alien women brought by Cai He, they have also temporarily found a separate courtyard to arrange them. Although the place in the house is large, there is no shortage of manpower, and these women have nothing for them to do, so they have to raise them first.

I heard that Cai He had brought a lot of things from the Western Regions, and the women all ran over. The jewelry that Liu Xin brought back last time was relatively rare in the Central Plains, which really made them excited for several days, and now that there are new goods arriving at home, they naturally will not let go of this opportunity.

Diao Chan did not pick out jewelry with Bian Yu and Cai Yan, but walked in front of the group of interracial girls. Liu Xin knew that she must want to learn some novel dance again. Of course, in the face of a large group of wives and concubines, Liu Xin was not embarrassed to move forward, he was about to turn around and leave, but found a fiery figure rushing over, and couldn't help frowning, Zhu Rong didn't like to dance, she came to join in the fun.

Before Liu Xin could figure out what was going on, he had already seen Ma Yun walking towards him and said softly: "Husband, this mission to Dawan and Kangju to the Five Kingdoms was really done by Cai He alone?" You didn't send someone else to help him. ”

Liu Xin was stunned for a moment, but quickly understood what Ma Yun meant, nodded, and said, "How is it possible." If I send someone else to help him, I will hurt him. ”

Ma Yun breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good, it seems that the education model of the academy is still relatively effective." ”

Liu Xin also echoed: "I see it this way too. Just now, I had an idea, can we promote the education model of the academy across the country? ”

What kind of role Cai He is in history, Liu Xin and Ma Yun are very clear in their hearts, not to mention letting him independently envoy to five countries, even if he is asked to take a caravan to the Western Regions, I am afraid it will not be good. However, after ten years of study in the academy, Cai He was not only the first to bring the caravan to the Western Regions, but also temporarily ordered to send envoys to five countries in succession, which means that the teaching of the academy has achieved results.

Ma Yun said excitedly: "Husband, you and I want to go together." I want all the children of the country, whether poor or poor, to go to school! ”

Liu Xin's face suddenly turned bitter, and he said, "However, even if I have the money to build academies all over the country, I can't find so many teachers." ”

Ma Yun thought for a while and said, "I have a way, this matter can be divided into a few steps." First, we will set up county schools in each county and encourage everyone to send their children to the county schools to study. The county school only teaches simple reading and writing, plus some mathematical knowledge such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and can also open some natural courses, which is equivalent to elementary school. The teachers of the county school only need to find a few literate people and give them simple training. Then you can set up a county school, which is equivalent to a middle school, and a college, which is equivalent to a university. ”

Liu Xin imagined the scene of the establishment of schools in various counties according to the beautiful blueprint drawn by Ma Yun, and couldn't help laughing, and said: "The ideal is beautiful, but the reality is cruel, wife, I can't take out so much money to run so many schools." ”

Ma Yun seemed to have made up her mind to carry out a national education activity, and after a long pause, she said: "I think this thing can be done!" First find a few wealthier counties to pilot, the counties will contribute a little money, and the court will subsidize a little more, which should be enough. This is not only a matter of cultivating talents, but also taking the opportunity to eradicate illiteracy, so that the Dahan Express can be seen by more people! ”

Liu Xin thought about it, and what Ma Yun said was also very reasonable. The Dahan Express is now his propaganda mouthpiece, but the vast majority of poor people are illiterate, and even if the Dahan Express is given to them, they will not understand, if education can be popularized to the "primary school" stage, at least more people can see the Dahan Express.

"You're right, this matter can really be considered. When I go back, I'll let Han Opera do this specially, so don't worry too much, your body matters. Liu Xin lovingly touched Ma Yun's slightly bulging abdomen, and suddenly asked, "By the way, why did Zhu Rong come to see those foreign girls?" ”
