Early the next morning, Ying Zheng took Wuchan to the palace of Khotan again.

The king of Khotan had compiled the matters he had discussed with them yesterday into a book and made an official document.

After reading it, Ying Zheng added another one: Because Khotan is responsible for the security of the trade route from Jingjue City to the border of the Western Regions, that is, the border of Dawan.

The king of Khotan also knew that this was originally his business, so he ordered this article to be added to the article.

Ying Zheng took out the heirloom jade seal and stamped it with a seal.

The eyes of the king of Khotan were attracted by the jade seal of the heirloom country, and he asked urgently: "What is the seal in the hand of the king of Qin?" ”

Ying Zheng said with a smile: "This jade seal is made of He's bi, which is the one you gave to the Huns before." ”

Then, Ying Zheng besieged Touman Danyu in Yinshan that year, forced him to sign an alliance with Daqin, and then exchanged him for a bloody horse and a family bi.

The king of Khotan secretly admired, no wonder the Xiongnu poured out to destroy the Yue clan this time, it turned out that they did not want to bear the reputation of treachery, so it is also predictable that the Xiongnu were more or less afraid of Daqin.

He sighed and said: "Before, I sent Wei Chi Lin to negotiate with the two of you, I wanted to use that other piece of He's bi as a bargaining chip, but now that the trade route has stabilized, I am really ashamed that I have not offered that beautiful jade for a long time." ”

After that, the king of Khotan ordered the chief eunuch who was close to him to fetch the other piece of He's bi.

At the beginning, Khotan's envoy Wei Chilin did promise that if Khotan could open a trade route and benefit from it, he would be willing to give away the brick-shaped Hetian jade.

At that time, Yingzheng didn't care too much, and later got the piece of the Xiongnu, only to know that the Hetian jade was really exquisite, no wonder earlier, the ancestor King Zhao wanted to use fifteen cities to exchange with Zhao.

After a short time, the chief eunuch personally walked back with a brocade box in his hands and handed it over to the king of Khotan.

The king of Khotan carefully opened the brocade box, opened the brocade that covered it, and gently picked up a square jasper as blue as spring and moist as water waves.

There are many rare treasures and treasures, but at this time, his eyes are wide.

Wu Chan stroked his lips lightly, his mouth opened slightly, his eyes swayed, and his heart was surging.

Women are born to love jade, let alone a noble queen!

"It's square and square." The king of Khotan said, "The round and family bi used in your jade seal are the same piece of jade cut into two, and now this king is willing to give this as a national gift, in order to repay the kindness of the king of Qin and the king of Jingjue for giving land and land." ”

Ying Zheng said in his heart: This old boy is also treacherous, but the things he promised before have not been fulfilled, and he didn't mention this matter until he took out the jade seal of the country.

Of course, he didn't mean to deliberately want to be with the family, and it was indeed difficult to speak, but taking out the heirloom jade seal was deliberate.

"If that's the case, then it's disrespectful." Ying Zheng bowed his hand, and then took the square He's bi and looked at it carefully.

Sure enough, it's a good jade!

The texture is the same as that of the heirloom jade seal, the color is warm and moist with tenderness, smooth but soft, as pure as the bottom of the pool, like a cloud stretching.

After a few glances, Ying Zheng handed it to Wu Chan: "This is yours." ”

Wu Chan held the square and the family bi in his hand, as if holding the most magnificent treasure in the world, his eyes always fell on the jade, and he never moved away for a moment.

Ying Zheng looked at the king of Khotan and asked, "Does the king of Khotan like a good horse?" ”

"Who can not love a good horse, especially us herdsmen." The road of the king of Khotan.

Ying Zheng said with a smile: "At the beginning, I exchanged a sweat and blood horse for the Huns' piece and the family's bi, and now I might as well exchange a sweat and blood horse for this other piece of beautiful jade with you." ”

The king of Khotan shirked and said: "King Qin doesn't have to mind, if you want to say that in exchange, you also exchanged half of the exquisite territory for this piece of jasper, and our two sides have been equal, and there is no need to fill in any horse objects." ”

"Thank you very much." Ying Zheng was no longer polite, "In this case, you have covered the Wang seal, and we will each hold a document, and we will leave." ”

The king of Khotan nodded, then took out his seal, stamped two copies of the same document respectively, and then handed over a copy to Yingzheng and kept a copy for himself.

At this point, the alliance with Khotan was also formally established, and both sides took what they needed, selling land for land and hoarding goods.

Long before he came, Ying Zheng knew that the king of Khotan would agree to all his requests, because the vast expanse of neighboring land was too tempting for any king to resist such temptation.

Now that all the conditions I want have been realized, I have earned an extra piece of peerless jade.

The king of Khotan sent a group of men and horses to escort the two monarchs, and secondly, to go to Jingjing with money and buy back objects that the people could not take away.

Immediately afterwards, he spread the news that if the powerful want to go to Jingjue to buy a property, they can form a team to go to Jingjue, buy a house and land, and seize a business stall.

Out of Khotanese City, Ying Zheng shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"What are you laughing at?" Uzen on the side asked.

"I'm thinking, the king of Khotan will let the powerful people of Khotan buy a house now, if he hasn't lived in it for a few years and is buried in the desert, it won't be very unjust." Ying Zhengdao.

"Well, it's very wrong." Wu Chan said, "But I will control the price to a reasonable range." Besides, the desert may not necessarily swallow up the essence. ”

Ying Zheng looked at her and asked, "If the desert really doesn't devour the essence, will you still go to Daqin with me?" ”

Wu Chan didn't think about it, and asked directly: "Why don't you go?" On the contrary, if it weren't for the desert, would you still accept us? ”

Ying Zheng laughed: "I have accepted the whole family of Yiqu, not to mention the exquisite mother's family." By the way, speaking of Yiqu, I want you to be neighbors with them, what do you think? ”

Immediately, Ying Zheng gave Wu Chan a general account of the rise and fall of Yiqu.

Wu Chan gave a thumbs up with admiration and said, "I really admire you, people came to attack you with a large army, and you finally contained them." ”

"If it weren't for Yiqu, maybe it would have been a different ending." Recalling the original situation, Ying Zheng said leisurely, "After all, Yiqu fled because of Daqin, and wandered in the Hexi Corridor for many years, which was too bitter, and it was forced to be helpless to come to Daqin to work hard." ”

"But...... It's hard to guarantee that they still have bad intentions. Wu Chan said with a little worry.

Ying Zheng said: "Thorin has been here with me, do you think he looks like that kind of person?" ”

Wu Chan thought for a moment, then shook his head: "The people of Solin are very good, when he came with you, I thought you had known each other for a long time. ”

"That's it." Ying Zheng smiled, "As long as you see people right, you won't be deceived, unless they are forced to be helpless." But if I have the ability to keep them from being persecuted, then the problem will be solved. ”

Wu Chan covered his lips and smiled: "Your ability is to let others move to your Daqin, and when you accept others again, you have to tell me in advance, so that I can pour a place for you." ”

Ying Zheng laughed and said: "I won't recruit any more in the future, when I go back, it's time to grab someone else's territory, and then you can live wherever you want." ”

"I'm not unfamiliar with other people's territory, so I live in the place you arranged for me." Wu Chan said, "By the way, just now you said that I should be neighbors with Yiqu, what kind of place is it?" ”

"Northlands." Yingzheng also didn't sell Guanzi, "That place and Longxi County were originally the territory of Yiqu, and later it was divided into two counties by my ancestors, and now Yiqu lives in Longxi, this Beidi County is left for you, and it is also the main battlefield for building the Great Wall." ”

Wu Chan pretended to be angry and said: "King Qin is really towards me, he hasn't moved over yet, so he has arranged such a heavy errand." ”

Ying Zheng hurriedly explained: "Where is it, you go there, that is, to provide some technology for making dense stones, and you don't need to do other manual work." ”

"Tease you." Wu Chan smiled, "Don't say that you are my man, even if you are a stranger, just because you have found the Ice Gu Seed Insect, it is not too much to pull the entire clan to build the Great Wall for you." ”

Ying Zheng relaxed at this time, hugged Wu Chan and said, "It's better to be my queen." ”

The next day, the two returned to their final refinement, only to find that the streets and alleys were full of red lanterns.

After inquiring, I found out that the thumb was in the style of the lantern brought back from Xianyang, and the ghost hands rushed to make a batch, and then distributed one to each household.

The people didn't know what was going on, but the ghost hands explained that this was a custom in Great Qin, and that the last day of the lunar month was Chinese New Year's Eve every year to commemorate the feat of the King of Qin in hunting foreign beasts that plagued the people.

The first day of the first month is to welcome the new year, in order to welcome another auspicious beast to the world and bring stability and peace to the people.

When the exquisite people heard this, they were all interested, firstly, they were willing to promote their exploits for the King of Qin and pray for the blessings of God, secondly, they also wanted to quickly integrate into the customs of Great Qin, and secondly, there were also many curious people, and they all wanted to join in the fun.

All of a sudden, the lights in the exquisite city were lit up, and everyone collapsed to tell each other, preparing the items needed for the sacrifice.

"Uncle Thumb, don't make such a big move." Ying Zheng looked at the thumbs that greeted them.

Thumb laughed and said: "In the past two years in Daqin, but I have seen a lot of the world, if you want to say that the most impressive, it will be the New Year, this activity is excellent, you can not only worship and pray, but also pray for the auspicious luck of the coming year, I will warm up here first, and I will not be unfamiliar when I go to Daqin." ”

Wu Chan said on the side: "I think Uncle Thumb is right, this is indeed festive, but it is much more lively than our Ice Gu Festival." ”

"Okay." Ying Zheng smiled bitterly, "Then it's up to you, I will let the soldiers teach the people how to set off firecrackers, paint New Year's pictures, and dance lions." ”

"It's for the best." Thumb laughed.

In this way, the entire essence began to move, and according to Daqin's practice, he began to prepare for the New Year.

The people are both fresh and interesting about this way of celebrating, and they are all enjoying it.

During this period, people from Khotan began to come to inquire about the prices of real estate and fields, and when they saw this scene, they were all relished, inquired about the date, and said that they would bring their families to see the excitement.

In just a few days, the news spread, and all of a sudden, several small countries in the south knew the news, and they rushed to participate in the New Year's activities, and by the way, they bought some land and livestock.

What was originally a simple sacrifice and celebration was alive and well, and it was more like a large gathering, selling everything.

Chinese New Year's Eve was even more lively, perhaps because they were going to move away from their homeland, and the exquisite people all worshipped their ancestors with great devotion and contributed sacrifices without hesitation, and many people shed tears.

After this farewell, it is difficult to return to his homeland in this life.

Not to mention this life, maybe in thousands of years, there will be no one living here again.

The next day to welcome the New Year, but it is a scene, last night the people who vomited their sorrows, it seems that the bitter water in their hearts has been exhausted, everyone's face is full of smiles, happily celebrating the arrival of the New Year.

Since the rule set by Daqin is to celebrate the New Year for seven days, then let's do the same.

After seven days, the great migration of the whole clan will begin, and everything that can be taken away will be taken away, and everything that cannot be taken away will be sold, so it can be said that there is not an inch of grass left.

All the people are enjoying their last days in Jingjing, and at the same time looking forward to a better life in Daqin in the future.
