And in Yelang Country, Li Shiqi gently pushed the box in his hand over: "This is a gift from His Royal Highness to the Prime Minister!" ”

When he opened the box, a box full of silver jewelry of different shapes and extremely delicate made the eyes of the Minister of Yelang suddenly brighten, but then, he gently closed the box and arched his hand and said: "The envoy of the kingdom sends such a heavy gift, and the thing he asks for must be extremely difficult, I am old and decrepit, and I just want to spend the day in peace!" ”

As he spoke, he pushed the box back in.

Li Shiqi smiled and directly opened the condition: "My Royal Highness needs a large number of slaves and craftsmen, if the minister of state is willing, he can even send troops to catch some around, how many Jiujiang merchants will collect!" ”

"Shhh

Yelang couldn't help but gasp, in the past few months, a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry have flowed into Yelang, and all the materials that can be bought on the market can be said to have been swept away, Some tribes below have begun to attack each other, just to catch more slaves.

That is, the power of Great Qin is too great, so that the lord of the country does not dare to move lightly, otherwise I am afraid that all the merchants of Great Qin would have been driven out long ago.

But now, His Royal Highness Daqin actually sent someone to buy slaves directly, and the meaning is not to be known, obviously planning to make Yelang Kingdom a sword in his hand, start a war with the surrounding countries, and capture a large number of people from surrounding countries for him.

Yelang is already the largest of a group of small countries in the south, but after the arrival of Li Shiqi, he is still disappointed.

Even in the capital, there are not many goods, and the only few lively shops are all opened by Chu merchants, and all the materials have been scavenged by Chu merchants.

Li Shiqi even felt that the slash-and-burn cultivation in Yelang Country, supplemented by hunting, was too backward, and there was no chaos in the country.

The lord of Yelang Country met him, but his indifference was visible to the naked eye, obviously dissatisfied with the wanton looting of Chudi merchants in Yelang Country, that is, he did not dare to offend Daqin, otherwise he would probably not see him.

In such a situation, even if Li Shiqi has the ability to reach the sky, he will not be able to convince the lord of Yelang to capture slaves for himself.

However, Li Shiqi, who was ordered to go out for the first time, never wanted to go back like this, a group of businessmen who had no status in Chu had played a bunch of small countries like this, and he was a disciple of the Zongheng family, if he went back like this, people thought that his ability was not as good as a group of businessmen who forgot their righteousness.

After inquiring carefully, I knew that the country of Yelang was completely composed of a bunch of tribes, and the lord of the country of Yelang was only the largest tribal leader, and it was far from the level of a word in the country.

Looking at Yelang Guoxiang, the silk clothes in his body, whether it are accessories or expression, can be said to be the same as the nobles of the Central Plains.

"The Prime Minister should have heard that His Royal Highness is the most promising prince of Great Qin to inherit the throne, and all the princes are only sealing a small city on the edge, and only His Royal Highness has a fief of one county, just this can show the status of His Royal Highness in the heart of His Royal Highness the Emperor!"

"Now that His Royal Highness is going to build Jiujiang County on a large scale, he needs a large number of slaves, if the Minister of State helps with this, His Royal Highness will definitely remember the favor of the Prime Minister!"

After seeing that after he finished speaking, the other party's expression did not change in the slightest, obviously the chips were not enough, Li Shiqi also smiled and said: "To tell the truth, the prime minister of the country stayed in this Yelang country, saying that he was the minister of the country, but in fact, he was just a tribal leader in a wild land, like a wild man!" ”

"Even if the prime minister doesn't think about himself, don't he think about his future generations, stay in such a place, in the future, if that descendant doesn't fight, he will really become a wild man!"

"If the Prime Minister is willing to help with this, after the matter is completed, His Royal Highness can donate a house to the Prime Minister in Jiujiang County, so that the Prime Minister's family can move to Jiujiang to live and stay away from this wild place!"

"Qin Du, if Your Highness can give me a house in Qin Du, I will help you with this!"

Yelang Guoxiang looked at Li Shiqi with a calm face, he was not short of money for this set of mansions, but as the prince of Great Qin, and he was also the prince who was most likely to inherit the throne, if he gave himself a set of mansions, he would be able to avoid being rejected by the nobles and wealthy families of Qindu.

What he really wants is not a house, but a gift from the twenty princes of Great Qin, as long as the twenty princes agree, he can buy the house himself.

As the prime minister of Yelang, how could he not understand that Li Shiqi wanted to disturb the peace of the originally small subordinate country of Chudi.

On the edge of the big country, the small country can only protect itself if it unites, if it messes up first, it will inevitably lose both sides in the end, but let it be kneaded by Daqin.

It's just that more than a dozen small countries combined, none of them were the opponents of Chu back then, and hundreds of thousands of horses in Chu were beaten by Great Qin, which made him really unable to think of confronting Great Qin in his heart.

Not to mention that the younger generations stay in this wild land, and there is not even a learned teacher, if the tribe is not careful, the descendants will live in this wild land forever.

Even if it is to keep his children and grandchildren away from this wild life, he will take his family to a civilized country like Daqin in his own hands.

"Okay, I promise you on behalf of Your Highness!" Li Shiqi immediately agreed, a set of houses, but just to use the reputation of His Highness, he can completely destroy the connection between these dozen or so small countries, and he believes that His Highness will never refuse.

Gently opening the box in front of him and looking at the shining jewelry inside, Yelang Guoxiang had a full sigh on his face: "Sure enough, it is the jewelry of the Central Plains, I have seen some silver things, but none of them can be compared with these jewelry!" ”

Li Shiqi smiled embarrassedly, he knew that this was the Minister of Yelang who didn't believe him, so he immediately stood up and said: "I'll ask the caravan to send the news back, and it won't be long before I can bring His Highness's reply!" ”

"No, you're too anxious, my eldest son is now in Shouchun City, according to the slave who came back, it seems to be in a place called Chunfeng Tower!"

"Old fox!" Li Shiqi sighed secretly in his heart, understanding that he was still too inexperienced to be pinched by the other party, but because he was backed by His Highness, this old fox was not too much, he just wanted his son to see His Highness to clarify His Highness's attitude.

I couldn't help but stab in my heart: "If I'm not mistaken, Chunfeng Tower is the largest green building in Shouchun City, your family stays in the green building, you are not afraid to bring back a daughter-in-law directly from it!" ”

Yelang's expression did not change in the slightest, even if he stayed in this wild place, he had heard that the Qinglou women in the Central Plains wanted to teach poetry and books, and they were better than the women in the tribe.

In his heart, he secretly despised Li Shiqi's lack of knowledge, but he laughed and said: "Hahaha, if he can really bring a Central Plains woman back from the Qinglou, it is also an elegant thing, the old man holds a banquet in the tribe to celebrate!" ”
