Chapter 305: Conditions of the Great Wan Kingdom
When it came to Maple Leaf, Ying Zheng's expression was somewhat nervous.
Wu Chan was so smart, seeing that Ying Zheng's expression had changed, he asked anxiously, "What's wrong with Maple Leaf, is something wrong?"
Ying Zheng didn't dare to say anything about giving the maple leaf to Hu Yu, and quickly explained: "It's nothing, when I first arrived in Xianyang, maybe because of the water and soil, the maple leaf didn't seem very energetic, but Li Si immediately cured it, and the widow also built an exclusive stable for it, not to mention how comfortable it is now."
Wu Chan's face was ashamed, and he said, "I know that the disability to adapt to the water and soil may be only one aspect, and the more reason should be that he misses me."
A good horse thinks of the master, and the master doesn't miss the good horse.
As for the concern of the maple leaf, Wu Chan is not just talking, for nearly a year, she will still go to the original maple leaf stable every day, see where the maple leaf sleeps, and smell the smell there.
Ying Zheng saw that Wuchan was a little lost, and his heart was not happy, so he said, "Don't worry, when you arrive in Xianyang, you can see the maple leaf again."
After saying this, Ying Zheng realized that it would be better if Wuchan didn't go, and if he went, the matter of Maple Leaf would definitely be exposed.
But this sentence also reminded Wu Chan, and his sadness suddenly dissipated: "Okay."
Ying Zheng continued on the topic: "Didn't you say that King Mo has been waiting for me here, did he say, why are you waiting for me?"
Uzen shook his head.
The Great Elder said, "The old man asked him, and he said that he would wait until the King of Qin came."
"He's really calculating." Ying Zheng said, "I know that the widow will come to refine in the near future."
Thumb smiled and said, "King Qin's heart is Wuchan, and anyone with a discerning eye can guess that you will often come to the refinement."
Ying Zheng was embarrassed, and he was speechless for a while.
Wu Chan sneered coquettishly, "Uncle Thumb, you are making fun of us again, King Qin is obviously very good-hearted."
Thumb laughed: "Yes, yes, it's the heart of the heart."
The Great Elder looked at Ying Zheng and asked curiously, "Then King Mo has been here for more than a month, what is it for?"
Yingzheng didn't sell it, and said directly: "Last time I went back, when I passed by, he followed him all the way to Loulan and reconciled with King Loulan. Later, he told me that he had always had a very good relationship with Qiuzi and Dawan, and the reason why they often had friction with Loulan was because Qiuci secretly instructed him."
"I see." The Great Elder suddenly realized, "With the help of the end to balance Loulan, Qiuzi is really a good chess move."
Ying Zheng nodded and continued, "It is precisely because of the close relationship between Qiuzi and Dawan that the last king has some friendship with Dawan. Therefore, the last king proposed that if Great Qin was interested in buying a batch of sweat horses, he could match them."
"Really?" Wu Chan's eyes flashed, and he asked urgently.
"Of course it's true." "I think that's why he's waiting for a widow here."
"Hehe, if you can buy a sweaty horse, then Maple Leaf will have a companion in the future." Thumb said with a smile.
"yes." Yingzheng looked at Wuchan, "With companionship, let Maple Leaf give birth to a litter of foals for our queen."
"Hahaha......" The Grand Elder and Thumb laughed at the same time.
Wu Chan's eyes widened and he said, "Then you should quickly ask him, if you can really make a deal, Jing Jue is willing to give some money."
"Look at you're in a hurry." Yingzheng said, "Then I'll go to him now, you can wait for news."
Wu Chan responded and sent Yingzheng out of the hall.
The news of Yingzheng's arrival in the city has long been spread,
And the last king naturally knew about it a long time ago.
But he didn't rush into the palace to find King Qin, but sat leisurely in a restaurant and drank wine.
Ying Zheng inquired about the location of the last king, and rushed to the tavern, accompanied by Thorin and Qiang.
"King Qin, long time no see, sit down and have a drink." And the last king seems to have expected Yingzheng to come.
"Hehe, long time no see." Yingzheng
Smiling, he sat down across from King Momo, "King Momo is really interested."
"The Essence Doll doesn't invite me to drink, so don't I want to drink it myself?" And the last king quipped.
"Dignified and the last king, do you still need to be invited to drink?" Ying Zheng said sarcastically.
"Huh." And the last king said with a smile, "King Qin doesn't know, the wine in this exquisite city can be described as eight gates, and for the past month, this king has drunk it differently every day, but he still hasn't been able to taste it all."
"King Qin, you say, how can people bear this?"
"You know, we're a small country."
Ying Zheng knew that he had something to say, so he was not in a hurry, picked up the wine jug in front of him and poured himself a glass of wine.
"But the widow wants to taste what the wine of the Western Regions tastes like." Ying Zheng picked up his glass and took a sip.
"How?" And the last king looked at Yingzheng and asked.
"It's a little dry." Ying Zheng pursed his lips.
"This is Khotanese wine, and it's a little dry." And the last king said, "Just drink it habitually."
Ying Zheng sighed lightly and said, "It's really pleasant to change to drink different drinks every day, if the widow has a lot of time, I really want to stay here."
"Hehe, I'm not staying here." And the king also took a drink, and said, "I am waiting for you here."
"What are you going to do?" Ying Zheng asked knowingly.
And the last king smiled and said, "This king personally escorted Daqin's caravan to Jingjue, shouldn't he ask for a reward, otherwise what kind of wine will he take?"
Ying Zheng smiled and said, "We agreed first, you escort the caravan and receive payment, but you also receive the payment of the caravan, how can it come to the head of the widow?"
And the end of the king smiled at the corner of his mouth, squinted at Ying Zheng and said: "Others can't see it, this king can't see it, how can this first caravan you sent King Qin be a real businessman, look at the figure, they are all warriors who escort goods, since they are not merchants, then this reward will naturally be given by their masters."
Ying Zheng laughed and said, "It seems that it can't be concealed from the last king, otherwise let's talk about a price, and the widow will pay all the remuneration for this year."
And the last king was a little surprised, stunned for a moment, and then said, "It seems that you will not send a real caravan within this year?"
"Hehe, maybe." Ying Zheng said, "Even if a real caravan is sent, this money will be lost."
"Hahaha......" and the last king laughed, "It's still the king of Qin who is righteous, come, this king will give you a bowl."
Yingzheng raised the wine bowl, touched it with the king of the end, and drank it all.
"Now that he has been paid, the last king will not be spent here." Ying Zheng wiped the corners of his mouth and said, "After all, there is a caravan coming from behind, and someone needs to escort it."
And the last king put down the wine bowl, still smiling: "Is there another good thing, King Qin doesn't want to know?"
"Didn't you already say it when you wrote to me before?" Ying Zheng said, "It's about Dawan, right?"
"Hehe, that's good." And the last king filled his wine bowl again, "During this time, Dawan came with news again, saying that they could consider selling their treasure of the town, that is, the sweat and blood horse, to the king of Qin, but the price was very expensive
。」
"Speak up and listen." Ying Zheng looked at King Ji Mo with a cold face.
And the king sat up straight, cleared his throat, and said quite solemnly, "For each mare, you will get a hundred good horses, a thousand fat sheep, a hundred taels of gold, and a thousand taels of silver."
"If it's a stallion, it's doubled."
Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes and chuckled: "The appetite is not small, no matter how expensive the horse is, how much can it be worth, just ask the entire Dawan Kingdom, how much is it worth."
"Is it expensive?" And the last king pretended to be puzzled, "Why don't I think."
"Hehe, I'm afraid this price is a lot of moisture, but the widow can't afford it." Yingzheng looked directly at the king of Jimo, "But according to the habit of Jimo, if you can't afford something, you can grab it with a knife, right?"
And the last king: "......"
What does it mean to treat others the way they do?
"The reason why Great Qin is strong in Huaxia is also through the continuous devouring of other countries' lands." Ying Zhengyi smiled and said, "If it's something you don't need urgently, then wait, if it's something you urgently need, then grab it quickly."
"Hehe, that's the truth, right?"
And the last king's heart tightened, but on the surface, he said quietly: "King Qin said that he laughed, Dawan is so far away from Daqin, how can King Qin mobilize his army to grab things?"
"Yes." Ying Zheng pretended to think, "There is also a Western Regions in the middle, if you go to Dawan, you have to conquer the Western Regions first."
And the last king: "......"
"But if the widow does a good job with the Western Regions, it seems that it is not bad to take advantage of the road." Ying Zheng said lightly.
"Hehe, such an expedition, isn't King Qin afraid of working hard and hurting money?" And the king asked.
Ying Zheng raised his head and laughed: "Presumably, the matter between the widow and Wuchan, and the last king has also heard about it, it seems that there is nothing wrong with helping his family expand some territory."
Although this is unlikely, it is not a lie to say that the Qin army used troops outward based on refinement.
"Let's stop this joke." And the last king couldn't stop for the first time, "Let's talk about business."
Ying Zheng took a sip of wine and said, "The price is too high, so don't talk about it."
"Doing business." And the last king said, "Naturally, we have to negotiate a price, and if we don't negotiate, how can we know if it will work?"
"It's okay to negotiate." Ying Zheng said, "But this is not what the king of Dawan said, I'm afraid that in the middle, you will have a lot of benefits."
"Hahaha......" and the last king smiled a little embarrassed, "There are some benefits from this king during this period, but the sweat horse is indeed Dawan's national treasure, and it has never been sold openly for many years. If it weren't for the king's repeated pleas, I am afraid that the king of Dawan would not let go."
"That being said, you can't ask for a lot of money." Ying Zheng said indifferently, "Or, the widow can consider exchanging something else."
"Anything else?" And the king asked, "What is it?"
"Military rations." Ying Zheng replied briefly.
And the last king was taken aback, and was stunned.
A country's grain reserves represent the country's national strength and are also the foundation of a country.
Whether it is in war or disaster, food has an irreplaceable role, so no country has ever used food as a bargaining chip to conduct trade with other countries.
But Yingzheng proposed to exchange military rations for Dawan horses.
This kind of unreasonable approach, even the end of the king is very incomprehensible, although the main place to raise cattle and sheep to eat meat, but the yearning for food has also been a long time, because meat, is not easy to preserve.
