The scorching heat is hot and the streets are crowded.

The noisy street markets are rubbing shoulders one after another, and the clean palace finally welcomes visitors.

In order to welcome the arrival of the King of Qin, Zhuge Teng sent hundreds of people to clean the palace of the former Zhou royal family without a single speck of dust.

The palace, which has been renovated for a short time, looks like a newly built palace, and is decorated with flowers by the maids.

It's no wonder that Prince Murd feels strange, in the perception of normal people, a country should have only one palace, but how can Yingzheng have so many in his hands?

What he didn't know was that in recent years, Daqin had beaten down several national capitals alone, plus his old capital, so it was normal for many palaces to be there.

And it has been a few months since they came to Great Qin, how could Prince Murd and Kukanchi not know that King Qin was waging a battle for unification?

If the five more powerful countries in the east were to be taken, there would undoubtedly be a few more palaces.

Yingzheng handed over the list brought by Prince Murde to Zhuge Teng, asked him to order someone to prepare the goods, and then invited the two envoys to the banquet in the palace, but this time the cuisine was replaced by Luoyi's special dishes.

After eating and drinking, Zhuge Teng specially selected two beautiful maids for the two envoys and served them to sleep peacefully.

Ying Zheng called Zhuge Teng to the imperial study and began to plot political affairs.

"What's going on over there in Wei?"

Zhuge Teng replied: "Wei has gathered some troops, but it seems that there is no intention of sending troops in a big way, and his younger brother Zhuge Hui has already stationed troops on the border east of Xinzheng, ready to attack Wei at any time. ”

"What does King Wei think, do you have any news from the spies?" Ying Zheng asked again.

"Since the last attack on the King of Huashan, the whole Wei State has been a little panicked, and it seems that they have been worried about which day we will fight." Zhuge Teng said, "Regarding the current war between Qin and Zhao, the King of Wei seems to be more inclined to protect his life, but there are only a few voices in their court that they want to send troops to aid Zhao. ”

Ying Zheng sneered: "Aid Zhao? Wang Jian didn't make a big move on his side, and their aid to Zhao was in vain. ”

Zhuge Teng nodded with a smile and said: "This move of the king is indeed clever, so that Zhao Jun is not painful or itchy, other countries look at this situation, and they all think that King Zhao can solve the problem by himself, how can he easily send troops to offend us." ”

It is true that the small fights between the nations are continuous, and as long as they do not move and the foundation of one country, other countries will not send troops to help them at all.

"By the way, last time I wrote to you to ask you to buy more grain from the Wei State, how is the progress?" Ying Zheng changed the subject.

Zhuge Teng replied: "I sent my cronies to do it in private, so the progress is not too fast." ”

Ying Zheng thought for a moment and asked, "If Prince Murd is allowed to go to Wei to collect grain, do you think King Wei will relax his vigilance because of this?" ”

Zhuge Teng thought about it for a while, and then smiled and said: "This idea is feasible, why don't we leave Prince Murd's silver taels for the time being, let them go to Wei to use the money to buy grain, and then exchange the purchased grain with us for the goods they need, what do you think, Your Majesty." ”

"Hahaha......" Ying Zheng laughed, "You really want to go with me, the reason why I brought them to you is mainly to borrow their hands to calculate the Wei State." ”

Judging from the current strategy for Zhao State, although the consequences of collecting Zhao State's grain have not yet been reflected for the time being, it will definitely cause panic in the entire Zhao State in the near future.

By analogy, using this method against the remaining countries will certainly have a certain effect, if not if it does not demobilize them.

Looking at it, it is really difficult for Wei to deal with.

And the use of Prince Murd and Kukanchi, in the form of diplomatic relations and commerce, to make it difficult for Wei to refuse, will inevitably achieve this goal.

Zhuge Teng reminded: "But at the moment, the situation between us and the Wei State is quite tense, after all, Prince Merd and they are going to the Wei State from us, I think that the King of Wei must have taken precautions, and may not be able to reach a deal with them." ”

Ying Zheng thought about it for a while, and then said: "Let Zhuge Hui withdraw and come to Xinzheng to make our position clear." If Wei sends troops to aid Zhao, let's make another plan, anyway, now I won't let Wang Jian start a decisive battle with them. ”

"Okay, I'll write a secret letter to my brother." Zhuge Teng said.

"And." Ying Zheng added, "You send a few cronies to mix in their caravan to remind Murd of what they need to pay attention to, and to keep an eye out for Wei's current defenses and weaknesses. ”

The two discussed almost, and talked about something else, and Zhuge Teng retired.

Just after breakfast the next day, Ying Zheng invited two envoys.

"How are you two resting?" Ying Zheng asked with a smile.

"Of course it's good, hehe." Prince Murder, whose face was flushed, looked in good spirits.

"The wine here is so strong that I haven't decanted it yet." Kukanchi did look a little confused.

Ying Zheng said: "If you like the wine and women here, you can bring them back to China." ”

Murder laughed, "That's great, it looks like I'm going to have to pay a little more." ”

"Speaking of silver taels, the widow just wants to drink the two of them to discuss." Ying Zheng said, "Last night, I asked in detail about the goods reserves and output here, but some of the goods are not enough to deliver to you. ”

"What then?" Murdha asked anxiously, "The list of tasks that the king of Persia himself gave me, if this cannot be delivered, he will take me for blame." ”

"Don't worry, didn't the widow say it, this city is insufficient, you can go to other cities to continue collecting." Ying Zheng frowned slightly, "It's just that I can't accompany you anymore to the city there." ”

"Why?" Kukanchi asked.

Ying Zheng shook his head helplessly: "You must know that the land of China is rich in products because of the vast area, and each place has its own specialties, just like fermented tea in Chu real estate and Lu Min in Qi real estate." ”

"If you want to get all the good things together, you need to go to each production area and purchase them yourself. However, many places are not the territory of Great Qin, and some countries are even at war with Great Qin, so naturally they will not sell goods to us easily. ”

Hearing Yingzheng say this, Murder suddenly panicked: "Could it be that they don't make money if they have money?" If you don't come forward, won't it be more difficult for us who are not familiar with the land to buy? ”

"Yes, King Qin." Kukanchi said, "Didn't you say before that you would collect all the goods to Daqin and sell them to us?" ”

Ying Zheng sighed lightly and said: "You have also heard that Zhao State is at war with us right now, and the relationship between Wei State and Great Qin is also very tense. ”

"What can I do?" Murder suddenly wilted, and muttered, "This army is in chaos, does it really mean that we have traveled all over China to buy in various places?" ”

Yes, if two people of different languages are asked to go to various places to buy goods, not to mention how difficult it is to go from house to house, just in terms of time, don't think about coming back in three or five years.

What's more, there are a lot of seasonal goods, and you may not be able to buy them when you go.

Kukanqi rolled his eyes and said to Ying Zheng: "My King Qin, it's better to be like this, you are short of food now, how about we go directly to help you buy grain, and then exchange the grain for the goods you purchased." ”

Just waiting for your words!

However, Ying Zheng still pretended to ponder, and finally said with some embarrassment: "If we weren't old friends, I really wouldn't have been able to promise you." Anyway, I'll ask the officials who raise military rations to buy the goods you don't need, and you go and buy some military rations for me, and then we can exchange them at the same price. ”

As soon as Murd heard this, he immediately said, "Then it is decided, you can't go back on it." ”

Ying Zheng spread his arms and said helplessly: "It's not that I regret it, you must know that the Western Regions has always been a trickle, and it has always been continuous transportation back and forth, and you really want too many things this time, I dare to say that no country can get them all, otherwise you can go and inquire." ”

The two of them knew that what he said also had a certain truth, those caravans going to the Western Regions, they saw several waves when they came, and each batch of goods transported was not too much, and it could be said that they were constantly supplying to the Western Regions.

But because the road is really far away, and the king of Persia is very greedy, he asked for a few years' worth of goods in the Western Regions at one time, and it is normal for Daqin to not be able to make up for a while.

Murd was afraid that something would go wrong, so he hurriedly said: "It's better to buy one than to buy better, but I don't know where there is more food?" ”

Ying Zheng pointed to the east and introduced: "From here to the east, is Xinzheng, which was originally the capital of the Han court, and now it is the territory of my Great Qin, and beyond Xinzheng is the territory of Wei." ”

"Wei is the hinterland of the Central Plains of China, known as the granary of the world, the grain there is good and cheap, and there are many types, the taste is good, I don't know how many times stronger than the grain grown in my loess, if you eat it, you will definitely praise it."

"Good!" Murder made up his mind and said, "Then we will go to Wei and help your army buy military rations, King Qin, you have helped us so much, I will definitely help with this favor." ”

Ying Zheng said in his heart, this old fox obviously has a request for others, but he still wants to save face, saying that he is helping others.

However, he still laughed and said, "That widow is grateful, and after a few days of repairing here, I will send Zhehuai to follow you on the road." lest they do not understand what you say. ”

This time when he came to Luoyi, Yingzheng did not bring Wuchan, but only brought Zhehuai as a temporary translator.

"Okay, let's rest for a day and leave tomorrow." "It's almost autumn, and it's time to harvest more food in this season." ”

Ying Zheng said: "If you encounter difficulties, don't be reluctant, we are studying other methods." ”

Murd waved his hand: "It's not going to be delayed, it's been a long time, and it's only strange that the king of Persia doesn't blame." ”

"Okay, the widow will accompany you to Xinzheng and send you to Wei from there."

Immediately, the king of Qin accompanied the two envoys for another day, and supplied the envoys of Persia and Dawan.

Although Luoyi City is older, it is more vibrant than Xianyang, after all, it is a 400-year-old ancient capital, and as long as there is no war, it will present a prosperous scene.

The next day, the team continued to depart for Xinzheng.

The former Han Ting has become Yingchuan County, and the former Han Capital has also become the seat of the county government, but it still retains the atmosphere of the Wang family.

Compared with the palace in Luoyi, the palace in Xinzheng is not so magnificent, but it is also full of charm, although it is no longer luxurious and magnificent, but it is also elegant and noble.

"My King Qin, you are really the man with the most palaces in the world." Murder sighed.

Ying Zheng smiled and spread his hands and said, "If you want, I'll give you one, I can't live in it anyway." ”

"Really?" Murd said.

"What are you lying to?" Ying Zheng said, "But this is not close to the Central Plains, it is a little dangerous, you can go to Liyang to have a look." ”

"Then we're done." "When I come back from Wei, I'm going to take a look and wait for my good news." ”

With that, Murd took his farewell to the King of Qin and marched towards Wei with Kukanchi and two envoys.

"Your Majesty, will they be in danger?" Looking at their backs, Zhuge Teng said with a little worry.

"Don't worry, King Wei won't let them have an accident in Wei Realm, these are two God of Wealth." Ying Zheng smiled, "If something really happens, I will avenge them." ”

Zhuge Teng: "......"
