Chapter 265: It Won't Come
The bet between Yingzheng and Hu Yu was originally a joke made by the little couple, but unexpectedly, as soon as Fusu was guided, Hu Hai really opened his mouth to call someone.
This made everyone present both surprised and delighted.
It is not too uncommon for babies under the age of one to open their mouths to call people, not to mention that when they were in their mother's womb, they were nourished by the medicinal properties of Linggu Pill, and the milk they drink now contains medicinal properties, so it is normal for them to be higher than ordinary people in terms of the speed of intellectual development.
What is surprising is that there seems to be some communication between the two children, but it was Fusu who really taught Hu Hai to speak, not Yingzheng and Hu Yu.
But why did Fusu open his mouth and shout "Dad"?
Ying Zheng said proudly, "Look, these two children are close to the widow, haha."
"Humph!" Hu Yu said a little angrily, "If you lose, you lose, and you don't have anything."
Ying Zheng then remembered that Hu Yu didn't make any bets just now, but simply bet around the right to use the maple leaf, in this case, it was just Ying Zheng who suffered.
"Hahaha." Ying Zheng smiled heartily, "For the sake of Hu Hai being so well-behaved, the widow promised you that if the widow didn't ride the maple leaf out, you could ride the maple leaf, but you must protect it and don't let it have an accident, understand?"
"Hmm!" Hu Yu nodded again and again like a chicken pecking rice.
said so, but how could Ying Zheng not go out on a maple leaf.
At this time, Nansu, who was holding Fusu, said to the side, "Your Majesty, you can't be too partial."
"Hehe, of course the widow will not be partial." Ying Zheng tapped his chin with his finger and said, "However, you don't, this trip to the Western Regions, except for maple leaves and some ingredients from the Western Regions, the widow didn't bring anything back."
"Those delicacies from the Western Regions are still delicious, but you can't eat them endlessly, the widow doesn't want you to become a fat woman."
"In addition to these, the other ......" As he was thinking about it, a glimmer of inspiration appeared in Ying Zheng's mind, "By the way, how about the widow give you some beautiful and peculiar Loulan costumes?"
Nansu's beautiful eyes immediately showed joy and anticipation: "Okay! Presumably, the Loulan costumes must be very colorful."
When dealing with women, as long as you understand the study of food and clothing, you will naturally win.
"Whether it is colorful or not, we still have to make it to verify, and now in the hands of few people, there are only the patterns of those clothes." Ying Zheng said.
"Which is better looking than Hufu?" Hu Yu was also interested.
"Actually, the Hufu we are talking about is conceptually smaller, because we only have more contact with the various ethnic groups in Beidi, so we call Difu Hufu." Ying Zheng said, "And the clothing of the Western Regions is actually a kind of Hufu."
"Hehe, then I want it too." Hu Yu said with a grin.
"I know you're everywhere." Ying Zheng sneered, "Wait, the widow asked Zhao Gao to bring those picture scrolls."
After that, Ying Zheng walked out of the door, and then ordered Zhao Gao to move all the scrolls stored in the study.
Nan Su and Hu Yu were not idle, and ordered the maid to call the other three ladies over.
If there are good things, of course, they must be shared together, or they are not conducive to harmony.
After a short time, Zhao Gao took a dozen eunuchs to move all the painting scrolls brought back from Loulan.
There was a sudden discussion in the dormitory, and from time to time there were bursts of laughter.
"Be careful, don't break it." Ying Zheng said, "The widow still has to make these clothes according to these patterns, you can choose your favorite style and make a few more."
Nan Su looked at the patterns in front of him, a little dazzled: "There are really a lot of these patterns, let's choose what we like, but how to mark it?"
Hu Yu said with a smile:
"What's so difficult about this, let's just mark the numbers on the pattern, and then everyone memorizes their own numbers, so you can't make mistakes."
"Well, that's a good idea." Ying Zheng nodded and said, "Then you go first."
Let's go to the study to see if there's anything missing."
Several ladies responded together, but did not send Ying Zheng, and continued to bow their heads to select the picture scroll.
Ying Zheng sighed lightly, left Zhao Gao here to take care of him, and then returned to the study alone.
Taking out his pen and ink, Yingzheng wrote a letter to the king of the end of the year, and most of the things mentioned in the letter were the purchase of sweat-and-blood horses from Dawanguo.
Early the next morning, Ying Zheng came to Thumb's residence with the letter.
"Thumb senior, this is a letter written by a widow to the king of the end of the day, and I bother you to translate it into the last text." Ying Zheng said directly.
Thumb smiled and said, "This is the end, it is a small state, there is no writing at all, and all along, they have always used Loulan script."
"Oh?" Ying Zheng asked, "That Lou Lanwen, the senior thumb should also know it, right?"
"This is nature, come, old man help you." Thumb said.
"Okay." Ying Zheng took out the letter and pen and ink brocade silk and put it in front of his thumb.
Ying Zheng read the contents of the letter.
Thumb thought for a moment and said, "If you send a letter directly to Jimo, you will definitely pass through Loulan, and the defenders of Yumen Pass will not necessarily let you go. The best thing to do is to write a letter to the king of Loulan at the same time, and tell him about the progress of trade here, and then have the king of Loulan deliver the letter to the king of Jimo."
"Well, that's a good idea." Ying Zheng smiled and said, "Then the widow will write another letter to the king of Loulan, asking him to prepare to receive the first batch of goods."
"Okay, old man, come and write."
Immediately, Thumb helped Yingzheng write another letter to King Loulan.
Loulan and Mo both went to write letters, and Yingzheng had no reason not to write to Wuchan, so he wrote another letter to Jingjue.
But this time, it was written by Ying Zheng himself.
First, Wu Chan can understand the Chinese language, and secondly, the thumb is not too embarrassed to help translate, if there are any fleshy words in it, wouldn't it be very embarrassing.
After sorting out the three letters, Ying Zheng came to Jingyao with his thumb.
The materials used in the manufacture of dense stone instruments have been stockpiled in Jingyao. What's missing is just a few whole pieces of stone that make up the pipes.
Ying Zheng checked all the existing materials with his thumb, and then ordered the sergeants to load them into the car, led by Meng Yi, and transport them to Lishan first.
After Meng Yi set off, Ying Zheng returned to the palace, sorted out the picture scrolls sorted by the harem ladies, and handed them to Zhao Gao.
Changping Jun had gathered a large number of tailors yesterday and sent them to Sima's Mansion.
Sima Jie specially selected a few houses so that these tailors could make clothes here.
There was also a surplus of silk and brocade, enough to cut them.
It doesn't matter if the stock is insufficient, the Congress will continue to deliver raw materials.
The reason why Nansu and Hu Yu want to be rewarded and are quite concerned about this matter may be that on the one hand, they like different clothes, on the other hand, Chu is a big country rich in tea and silk, and Qin opened up the passage of the Western Regions, from a certain point of view, it is the most beneficial to Chu.
What's more, Ying Zheng came back with so many orders this time, which shows the popularity of silk in the Western Regions, so Chu State will definitely be able to make a lot of foreign money.
And this Sima Mansion may be a transit station for goods in the future, or it may also be a garment factory.
I had just finished settling those tailors here, but I saw Changpingjun hurrying into the door of the mansion.
"Your Majesty, Weichen has already sent Zheng Guo away, but ......" Changping Jun stopped talking.
"But what?" Seeing Changping Jun's slightly nervous expression, Yingzheng's heart also rose.
"However, Weichen is quite anxious to see Zheng Guo's return to his hometown, and he is worried that he will never return." Chang Pingjun said.
"Hehe, the widow thought something was wrong." Ying Zheng relaxed and said, "At this point, the widow doesn't have to worry, just like Changping Jun, you said, the widow ordered you to go to the Chu State, so will you never return and stay in the Chu State?"
"Of course not
Yes." Changping Jun said categorically, "Although Xiong is a clan of the Chu royal family, he has always done Qin affairs, enjoyed Qin Lu, swore loyalty to the king, and would definitely not abandon or rebel."
"Oh?" Ying Zheng asked calmly, "What if one day, in order to achieve a certain goal of the widow, you are ordered to abandon Great Qin?"
In order to deal with Xiang Yan's request, it is impossible for Yingzheng not to leave a backhand, after all, Hu Yu is already pregnant again, and this matter has to be considered immediately.
"This ......," Changping Jun thought for a moment and said, "If it is beneficial to the king and Great Qin, Weichen will naturally obey his orders."
"Hehe, you don't have to be nervous." Ying Zheng smiled, "The widow just said it casually, so don't take it too seriously. As for Zheng Guo, he felt that there was no reason why he should not come back."
"Why?" Changpingjun asked puzzled.
"Do you think, when Zheng Guoneng agreed to stay in Daqin to repair the canal, wasn't he afraid that we would send troops to attack South Korea because he knew that he was at a loss." Ying Zheng explained, "Since this reason was valid at that time, then the reason is also valid now that the canal has not been completed."
"Besides, Zheng Guo's family and ideals are in Daqin, how could he give up and return to Han?"
"What's more, King Han now regards him as a foreign minister, and even if he goes back, he may not be able to use it."
The head of Yingzheng's analysis is the Tao.
Talented people want to realize their ideals, and if the monarch of any country can help them achieve it, this person will follow that monarch.
This truth has remained unchanged for eternity.
"Well, that's true." Changpingjun nodded and said, "It seems that Weichen is too worried. Then, Weichen will prepare to meet Han Fei's affairs."
"Nope." Ying Zheng raised his hand and said, "What the widow said is Zheng Guo, who will definitely return to Great Qin, but he may not be able to bring Han Fei back."
"Oh?" Changpingjun said, "Could it be that Zheng Guo, please don't move Han Fei?"
Ying Zheng didn't answer, but looked at Li Si next to him: "Sir, in your opinion, will Han Fei come?"
Li Si shook his head slowly and said, "Han Feiqi is a person, although he is a little idiot, but he is quite arrogant, not to mention, this strategy of building a canal was originally proposed by Han Fei, and his true purpose of Qin has been exposed, so before he is not sure whether it is a blessing or a curse, he must not come."
"Hehe, the widow thinks so too." Ying Zheng said with a smile, "This time, let Zheng Guo make a front stop first, the purpose is to send a signal."
"Send a signal?" Changping Jun pondered Yingzheng's intentions.
"Well, that's good." Ying Zheng nodded, "At the beginning, South Korea offered the strategy of exhausting Qin, intending to cooperate with Zhao and Wei to defeat Great Qin, but the widow did not investigate it deeply. But now, it's time to speak."
"Hehe, indeed." Li Si also smiled, "If Han Fei admits his account and helps repair the canal, then everything is still negotiable, if he doesn't come, then we will have a reason to send troops."
Changping Jun thought for a moment and said, "Didn't the king say before that he wouldn't fight in ten years, and he had to recuperate and accumulate national strength."
"Hehe, the widow said it." Ying Zheng said, "So, let's still look forward to Han Fei coming, so that we can save some energy."
Li Si arched his hand and said, "This time, if Zheng Guo invites Han Fei not to move, then Weichen is willing to go to South Korea and will meet Han Fei."
Ying Zheng thought for a while and said, "That's okay, the old King Han just passed away last year, and we will meet this little King Han."
The little Han King in Yingzheng's mouth is the current Han An, the current Han King, and one of the main reasons why South Korea offered the strategy of repairing the canal at that time was that Han An had just ascended the throne and the situation was unstable.
Zheng Guo was afraid that Qin would send troops to attack Han at that time, and it was also because of this.
