Qingji is the king of Wu, the monarch of Wu, and the national power of Wu is at its peak, and he has been able to compete with the Jin State and become the overlord, and Qingji is Ziluan's son-in-law.

Therefore, compared to Qi Hou, Ziluan is more willing to believe in Qingji.

Besides, Ziluan has a greater wishful thinking in his heart......

"Wu Hou, don't hide it, widow...... My Song State is not immune to participating in the anti-Jin alliance, and you will fight the Jin with Wu Hou, but there is one condition for the widow......"

Ziluan wanted to speak and stopped.

"Song Gong said it doesn't matter."

Qingji chuckled.

Conditional?

It's better to have conditions!

Qingji is not afraid that Ziluan will put forward his own conditions, but he is afraid that Ziluan has no desires and no desires!

When Ziluan heard this, he looked around and saw that on the Quartet platform, the ministers and doctors of Wu and Song had already left with interest, and immediately leaned into Qingji's ear and whispered: "Whether it is to break the Jin or destroy the Jin." ”

"I, the Song Kingdom, promise not to take an inch of Jin land. However, if the Song State sends troops to destroy Cao, it will also ask Wu Hou to preside over 'justice', and must not let other countries seek the Song ......"

The "other country" in Ziluan's mouth, without thinking about it, must be the country of Qi.

As a small country located in the Central Plains, Cao Guo has a rather awkward geographical location.

The states bordering Cao were the four more powerful vassal states of Song, Lu, Wei, and Zheng.

In terms of national strength, Cao is very different from these four countries.

However, thanks to the fact that Cao Guo took the Marquis of Jin as his suzerain and became a vassal state of the Jin State, none of the four nearby countries dared to attack Cao State.

For Song, Lu, Wei, and Zheng Siguo, Cao Guo is like a piece of big fat meat, which wants to be eaten, but also throws a mouse taboo.

Moreover, the Song State had the strength to annex the Cao State, and was also afraid that several nearby countries would settle accounts after the autumn......

Therefore, the current Ziluan is planning to hold Qingji's big thick legs, let Wu come forward, and force the countries to dare not have objections to the Song State's annexation of Cao State, or directly send troops to intervene!

"Gong Song, you are like this, making it difficult for both the widow and the Marquis of Qi."

Qingji pretended to have an embarrassed expression, and said slowly: "This time I will join the alliance, and I heard that Cao Guo is also among them. It's all allies......"

"Wu Hou, Song State and Cao State, which is more important, presumably Wu Hou, you must have a plan in your heart."

Ziluan smiled slightly, bowed to Qingji and said, "If the Marquis of Wu is willing to protect the rights and interests of my Song State, so that after the Song State merges with Cao, the countries will not dare to invade it, or the Wu State will send troops to help." ”

"In the future, the Song State will inevitably take the Marquis of Wu as the chief of the princes, and only the Wu State will be the leader!"

Ziluan's attitude was obvious, that is, to make Qingji admit that the Song State could annex the Cao State and ensure the interests of the Song State.

This price is naturally that the Song State has since become a younger brother of the Wu State, although it is not a tribute, but it will also pay tribute, in order to declare that the Wu State is the chief of the princes, and Qingji is the overlord......

In the final analysis, the Song State is not comparable to the small countries of Xu, Xue, and Cai.

Ziluan is also an ambitious monarch!

"It's a deal."

"Good!"

Ziluan's eyes couldn't help but light up, looking at Qingji's outstretched slap, he immediately stretched out his own slap and slapped Qingji.

High fives for vows!

……

The next day, Qingji really went to Le Qi's cemetery to worship, and by the way, he also worshiped the famous virtuous minister Le Xi (Zihan) of the Song Kingdom.

This is not a superfluous thing.

After all, although etiquette has collapsed in this era, morality has not been degraded......

People still yearn for great sages like Le Qi and Zihan.

"Sell brocade! Wu Guolai's brocade! ”

"Don't miss it! A sword produced in the land of Wu Yue! Sharpen iron like mud, blow hair and break hair! Strong, why not come and take a look? ”

"Song Xiu! Beautifully embroidered silk! This is the only one, there is no semicolon! ”

"Rouge gouache! Good rouge gouache! The favorite of the big girl and the little daughter-in-law! ”

In the market of Shangqiu City, it is bustling, shoulder to shoulder, a prosperous scene full of people.

At this time, Qingji was sitting on an ox cart with his beloved concubine Nanzi.

When the curtain is lifted, Qingji can vaguely see the lively scene outside.

This time, although it is not a private visit to Weifu, it is similar.

After all, he is in the Song Kingdom, and he is in the spirit of observing the people's feelings, so Qingji is very low-key.

The tool for travel is just an ox cart, and the guards around him are dressed as ordinary entourage, but there are only a dozen people.

Don't look at it as an ox cart, it's not Qingji's exclusive car to drive a six-royal carriage, but it's better than comfort......

Sitting in the car, Qingji can be calmer, and it is not like taking a carriage to suffer from bumps.

Of course, Qingji doesn't care too much about this.

The main thing is to keep a low profile!

"The prosperity of Shangqiu is no less than that of Jinling."

Qingji, who was sitting on the ox cart and watching, couldn't help but feel the emotion after coming to this conclusion.

"The king is exaggerating."

Nanzi Yanran smiled and said: "Before the rise of Jinling, Shangqiu, together with Linzi, Yingdu, Xinzheng and Taoqiu, was called the five major capitals in the world, and the prosperous commerce was rarely compared. ”

"But in the final analysis, the only capital that can compete with the Linzi of Qi is Jinling, and Shangqiu is not yet ranked......"

Nanzi's words are still lifting up "Jinling".

Under the construction of Qingji and the blessing of Wu's strong national strength, Jinling has indeed jumped up and become a major capital that has attracted worldwide attention.

But, can it really keep pace with Linzi, the capital of Qi State?

Of course it is impossible.

Since Qi Huan became the hegemon, Linzi has become the most prosperous capital in the world, and no city in the world can be compared with it.

Even after the Qin and Han dynasties, Linzi's economic prosperity is still "strong".

The emperors of the Han Dynasty and the Han Dynasty did not have the idea of weakening Linzi.

It was not until the Yellow Turban Rebellion at the end of the Han Dynasty that Linzi fell down, but it was also a rare metropolis in the world.

Business town!

"Nanzi, I'm afraid the population of this Shangqiu is more than 100,000, right?"

Qingji asked curiously.

"Yes."

Nanzi nodded, took out an orange and peeled it, and introduced it to Qingji: "The population of Shangqiu is more than 100,000 all year round, and there are many local handicraft craftsmen and foreign merchants living there. ”

"In addition to grain mills, oil mills, and car markets, there are also silk and linen fabrics, woodware, lacquerware, jade, pottery, shoes, hats and other goods."

"The government set up a 'Chu market' (a kind of official name) to manage the market, so Shangqiu had a prosperous scene."

As soon as the words fell, Nanzi also peeled a piece of orange flesh and stuffed it into Qingji's mouth.

Qingji enjoyed it very much, so he lay on Nanzi's long legs and came to a knee pillow.

found a comfortable position, Qing Ji lay down, and as if he was pretending to sleep, he smiled thoughtfully: "Nanzi, you said that Shangqiu is not as prosperous as Jinling, and the widow can agree." ”

"It's just that the land of the Song Kingdom, the land of prosperous commerce, is not only Shangqiu?"
