Chapter 333: Loyalty
The flames were blazing, burning in the cavern
"What do you Shushan people mean?"
Li Mang looked at Yu Qing, and his face turned blue.
Not long ago, Li Mang learned that Yu Qing had arrived at the territory of the Qin feudal monarch with 10,000 brocades, and then exchanged for 10,000 grains.
Moreover, Yu Qing had a very happy conversation with him, and even stayed there for a few days before returning to Shushan with food.
You must know that the Qin military camp in Yingshan Stream has been built. In the meantime, Rimang didn't think about destroying it again, but his vassals didn't dare to approach the reed wall when they saw it, and they were as afraid as gods.
Even the mighty wolf king can't run rampant across the grassland if he can't drive the wolves. Although the people of the Zhurong Department are very strong, they have to be enemies of the Qin army, and they are not superior in numbers.
As a result, Li Mang could only let it go, seeing that the Qin army had established the camp.
After this, the Qin army had one of the strongest defensive lines, and only a small number of troops were needed to garrison it, and it was possible to contain the offensive of the Zhurong army.
And the latest information, the Qin people's feudal lord's subordinates have begun to plan the land, reclaim, and build, and they are very busy.
At this time, the people of Shushan left from the territory of the Qin people with a large amount of grain. You must know that with the prestige of Shushan here, as long as they open this breath, next, the surrounding tribes, large and small, will let down their vigilance and communicate with that Qin feudal monarch.
"I just kept my promise and gave Hanyang-kun what I should have given. As for the grain, it was given to me by him. ”
After several days of talking, Yu Qing had a very good impression of Zhao Shuang.
"Gifting? Joke! ”
Li Mang didn't believe that Qin man would have such a good heart, and he would have such a large amount of food as soon as he made a move. You know, it's winter soon, and all the Yimin tribes in the land of Bashu are short of food.
In the past, there would be many merchants who inflated the price of grain and bought their herbs, brocades and other specialties at low prices. And now, that Qin man actually took the initiative to give them food, if there was nothing in it, Li Mang didn't believe it.
"Are you a fool to me? If there was no secret agreement, would that Qin person be so happy? ”
"That's the way it is, and it's useless to say more."
After Yu Qing finished speaking, she turned to leave. Li Mang saw it in his eyes, and his heart was even more angry.
"Get out, get out!"
…………
Nan Zhengdi.
"Yu Qing left the Zhurong Ministry?"
Mo Crow stood beside Zhao Shuang, with a faint smile on his face.
"Our spies in the Zhurong Department saw Yu Qing walk out with a stiff face. After that, Limang was even more furious, and the fire festival held by Zhu Rongbu was suspended. ”
Zhao Shuang smiled and glanced at the ink crow.
"It seems that the 10,000 grains are worth it!"
The crow chuckled under his breath, then raised his head again and asked.
"But what about the 10,000 brocades?"
You must know that such a large amount of goods is difficult to 'digest' here for a while, and it must be transported to Xianyang.
But the problem is that Zhao Shuang's 200,000 troops migrated here, which cost a huge amount, and at this time it was a time when there was a shortage of funds. Send these 10,000 pieces of brocade to Xianyang, and you can get back the funds as soon as possible.
"It's okay, I just received news that the envoy sent by the Otsuki clan at that time has turned back and brought the envoy of the king of the Yue clan. It seems that they also have the intention of trading with Qin. ”
Zhao Shuang smiled.
"The price of these 10,000 brocades shipped to Xianyang is only five times, but if it is shipped to Dayue's, then it may increase by more than ten times or even dozens of times."
Although Zhao Shuang did not have the spare strength to do this at this time, once the trade route was opened, the brocade and iron tools in Shuzhong could go to Longxi and then to Dayueshi through Guanzhong. Or, you can directly establish a trade route from Shu to Long to Dayue and even the Western Regions.
Once successful, maybe Zhao Shuang's future territory will not have to worry about the funds.
"Ship these 10,000 pieces of brocade to Xianyang first and put them in the warehouse."
"No!"
.................
Longxi.
The tents were continuous, and the cattle and sheep were flocked.
Since the defeat of Mo Kedu from the Moon Wolf Valley a few months ago, he led his army back to the edge of Longxi and the Great Moon Clan's territory.
The nomadic tribes lived in pursuit of water and grass, and when the grass in one area was eaten up, they went to the next place, which was highly mobile and militarily strong.
However, there is a shortage of materials, especially some daily necessities, such as silk, salt, iron, .......
Of course, if the powerful tribes of the Yueshi, Xiongnu and Donghu all had their own fixed pastures, which was enough to feed the people. Even they began to build cities, and they had a fixed royal court.
But a tribe like Mo Kedu, which is not big or small, is very embarrassed, fortunately, he has a blood relationship with the royal family of the Dayue clan, although he is in the territory of Qin, he can take refuge in the Dayue clan at any time.
And as long as they don't make trouble, the officials of the Qin State will not care about them.
Looking at his teacher Tudor who came from outside the tent, Mo Kedu looked a little impetuous.
"Teacher, have you checked the details of the Huns?"
Mo Kedu led his army, but was blocked by several Hun women outside the valley, and returned to the territory in disgrace.
Tudor looked at his disciple's appearance, and he seemed to be a little too concerned.
"I've already secretly checked the tribes of the Northland, and they don't know when the mysterious Xiongnu tribe came? Later, I sent spies further north into the Henan land of the Xiongnu, and finally found a trace. ”
"What?"
"A few years ago, the Xiongnu went south to Zhaodi, but returned with a miserable defeat. At that time, a tribe of the Xiongnu, the Descendants of the Moon Wolf, broke away from the control of the Xiongnu Shan Yu, and then disappeared. ”
"Descendant of the Moon Wolf?" Mo Kedu read the name, a little puzzled, "How is this tribe?" ”
"Although this tribe is small, it is very powerful, good at driving wolves and using medicine, which is very similar to the Xiongnu tribe we saw at the beginning."
"If so, why would such a tribe take refuge in the Northlands? Also, what's the deal with that slave mark? ”
"It's actually quite simple."
Tudor analyzed, and seemed to have seen the inside story hidden.
"It is impossible for such a tribe to settle in the Northland without the support of external forces. But since they had betrayed Touman, only the Great Yue Clan and Qin were left around to support them. Coupled with the incident in the Moon Wolf Valley, it is likely that the 'Descendants of the Moon Wolf' have taken refuge in one person or a force within the Qin State and become a slave. ”
"No surveillance, no people fleeing, and loyalty. They don't look like slaves at all. ”
Mokdu chuckled softly, seemingly intrigued by the details.
"The King of the Yue Clan has sent an envoy to Qin, intending to open a trade route and be friendly with Qin. Maybe later, we'll know. ”
"Open a trade road?" Mo Kedu was a little dissatisfied, "That old thing, I like the exquisite and meticulous utensils of the Qin people. I don't want to think about it, can these fight? ”
