Chapter 18: Gambling (9) [4k, Ask for Subscription]

Dilen was a little silent, years ago?

It was a good time a year ago, but he still wanted to see Yingzheng as soon as possible.

The sooner he saw the First Emperor, he would be able to feel at ease sooner.

After all, the fate of the Shang State is now in the hands of the First Emperor, and if the First Emperor can agree, the Shang State will have no opponents in the Yin Shang Continent.

Great Qin's iron cavalry can sweep through the countries of this continent, what is the difficulty of dealing with those countries that have not yet been civilized?

It's just a casual one.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps in the courtyard, and Xu Fu's eyes suddenly had a little excitement.

At this time, there was only one person who could directly enter this palace or post station, except for the First Emperor, Chen Ke.

Whether it is seeing Chen Ke or the First Emperor, it can relieve the current psychological pressure of the Shang King.

He looked up, his neck stretched out, as if he wanted to sweep in the outside, like a wife who was looking forward to her husband's return.

And Di Lun next to him was also a little surprised, although he didn't know who would come at this time, but he knew that Xu Fu could be so excited, he must know something.

During the time that Di Lun came to Daqin, he was not idle, and he had a detailed understanding of Daqin's official system.

At present, the identity of this Xu Fu in front of him is the 'Exploration Order', and the official rank should be around the fourth rank or the fifth rank.

And this status is definitely not low!

You know, under normal circumstances, what is the position of a county guard, how many county guards can Daqin have?

Therefore, Di Lun knew that Xu Fu's status in Daqin was not low.

Since this is the case, the official position that can make Xu Fu excited must not be low, or even higher, so high that it can make him feel at ease.

And after he came to this Great Qin, the only person he saw who could make Xu Fu so excited was Chen Ke!

That Governor Chen, whether in the local or central court, has a higher position of power than Governor Chen.

Fengchang, county county, governor.

No matter which of these three identities is selected, they are the number one person in the Great Qin species.

Among them, the highest status should be Fengchang, because Fengchang is one of the nine qing, and even the head of the nine qing, only the emperor and the three dukes in the world can suppress Fengchang.

But the usual Fengchang has no real power, but Chen Ke is different, Chen Ke is not only Fengchang, but also the governor.

The Governor is a real boss.

Therefore, when Di Lun saw Xu Fu's reaction, he briefly cleaned up his clothes to make them look more neat.

If it weren't for the fact that it was too late to change his clothes now, if he let Chen Ke wait, it would only consume Chen Ke's good impression of him, and Di Lun would definitely have to change into a clean and tidy set of grand clothes now.

When Chen Ke walked into this courtyard, he saw such a situation.

Xu Fu sat there, his neck stretched out in his direction, with hope in his eyes, while Di Lun sat there, sitting upright, looking a little serious and hidden worry.

He laughed, and then said, "You two already knew I was coming?" ”

"How is it waiting here."

Xu Fu smiled: "I just heard the sound of footsteps, except for Your Majesty, only Fengchang can directly enter and exit this place for the time being." ”

"Your Majesty is busy with the New Year's Festival during this time, so I guess it should be Fengchang."

He looked at Di Lun beside him and said, "Fengchang, the King of Shang has been waiting here for a long time, and I don't know when I will be able to see Your Majesty?" ”

Regarding Xu Fu's question, Chen Ke did not hesitate at all, but while walking forward, he thought about it and said: "I think that the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month is a good day. ”

He touched his chin and said, "There is a major event on the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, and Yu Bo estimates that this matter on the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month can only pass." ”

"When I got to the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, it happened to be a big court meeting, and that incident was in the past."

"In this way, Your Majesty should be in a better mood when you see King Shang, after all, that incident can be regarded as Your Majesty's heart disease?"

Secret trouble?

A look flashed in Di Lun's eyes, what could be something that could become the heart disease of His Majesty the Great Qin Emperor?

And Xu Fu has not been in vain in Xianyang City these days, he still knows a little bit about this matter.

Sect affairs?

However, this matter is not something he can meddle in, and he immediately quietly changed the topic: "I see." ”

He turned his head, looked at King Shang and said, "King Shang, what do you think?" ”

Di Lun calculated the days in his heart, and now there is still half a month before the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, there should be no problem.

In fact, he was not in a hurry to see the First Emperor, but there was no news for a while, and he was a little worried.

Now that he can hear accurate information from Chen Ke's mouth, he is much more relieved, and he is no longer thinking about this matter.

"Xiao Wang naturally has no problem here, everything is subject to the arrangement of Daqin's side."

Chen Ke sat there, smiling and drinking tea.

While casually talking to Di Lun about the landforms of the Yin Shang Continent, he was guiding something without a trace.

And when Di Lun saw Chen Ke like this, he also had all kinds of thoughts in his heart.

It is said that the first emperor is busy, isn't this Governor Chen busy?

Governor Chen has many important responsibilities, and even the things that the First Emperor has been busy with recently, most of them have the shadow of him.

Is it just to talk to himself about a few words that don't hurt or itch when such a busy person takes time out to see him?

Of course, Dyren couldn't think so, and he wasn't a fool.

It is impossible for a fool to sit on the throne, even if the Shang Kingdom has now migrated to the Yin Shang Continent, it is no longer the great glory of the past, and not everyone can sit on the throne.

So is there anything this Governor Chen needs?

A flash of inspiration came to his mind, and he thought of something, and he thought of something.

Immediately looked at Chen Ke and said, "Governor, Xu Envoy Ling told us before, saying that Great Qin needs something from us?" ”

He smiled and said: "I heard Xu Envoy Ling say a new word in his head, what oil, what coal mine. ”

"I don't know what these things are, but I heard Xu Envoy Ling say that we have a lot of them there, and Daqin also needs a lot."

Di Lun said with emotion: "And Great Qin is so powerful, he is willing to exchange the rest of the things with us for these resources, we are really grateful." ”

"It's just that it's useless for us to ask for these things."

He looked at Chen Ke tentatively and said, "In the original plan, Daqin would leave us thirty percent of the resources, and Xiao Wang felt that this was really a bit much. ”

"For Yin Shang, these things are really useless."

"Except for those who must stay and follow in the footsteps of Daqin, the rest don't know what to do in the end."

"In the end, it will still be sold to Daqin."

"I wonder if Governor Chen is interested in any of this?"

"If you are interested, one percent of Xiao Wang's share will be given to Governor Chen as a meeting gift."

Chen Ke looked at Di Lun, and a smile crossed his eyes.

This Shang King is not as simple as it seems, and as soon as he opens his mouth, he is a source of resources.

And the meaning hidden in the words is also obvious, Yicheng was given to Chen Ke for free, and the other Yicheng was sold to Chen Ke at an extremely low price.

This is the meeting gift that Shang King Dilun wanted to give to Chen Ke.

Chen Ke squinted his eyes slightly, with a slight smile on his face: "I said, King Shang, do you know how important these resources are?" ”

He was not worried that after telling Di Lun about the importance of this resource, Di Lun would regret cooperating with Great Qin.

Because he knew in his heart that those lands were not owned by the Shang State in the first place, and now the Shang State was almost a white wolf with empty gloves.

Sending troops to use Great Qin's weapons and troops to capture not their own territory, and not to sell the resources in their own territory.

And telling the Shang King about the importance of these resources can also play a deterrent effect.

These resources are so important, Daqin must be bound to win, do you dare to be corrupt?

Di Lun's expression looked very calm, and he said directly and neatly: "Xiao Wang doesn't know what the role of this oil and coal mine is. ”

"But Xiao Wang knows that this thing is very useful, otherwise Daqin would definitely not be willing to make this deal with Yin Shang."

At this time, Di Lun was not ready to hide Chen Ke, he knew that Chen Ke knew that he was pretending to be preparing an empty glove white wolf.

"During the chat between Governor Chen and me, he is very familiar with all the customs and geography of the Yin Shang Continent, so he must also be familiar with our lost Shang country."

He glanced at Xu Fu, who was sitting on the side, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, looking as warm as a spring breeze.

"Even if Xu Envoy doesn't tell you, you should know that there are no such things in the territory of the Shang State, and those places are not the territory of the Shang State."

"I don't want to leave an image of insatiable greed in Governor Chen's heart, so I'm willing to give some of these benefits to Governor Chen."

He sighed and said, "Now that the Shang Kingdom is facing great danger, the interests are already something that will be considered later. ”

"I can't be the king of this dead country."

Di Lun looked at Chen Ke and said, "What's more, there will also be those resources in the territory of the Shang Kingdom." ”

There was a look in his eyes that made him look like he wasn't worried about anything at all.

"You are actually merciful to the Shang State, otherwise you can directly control the Shang State, or explore the resources in the Shang State's territory and then trade them."

"Since you have left your hand, why don't I go down this staircase?"

Di Lun's words were very sincere, and the expression on his face was also pleading, soft, and a little helpless calm.

In all diplomatic relations, a weak country will never have any rights.

The only thing they can do is to gamble, bet on the benevolence of the great powers, and bet on their own role in the great powers.

This is something that has never changed since ancient times.

Looking at such a sincere Di Lun, Chen Ke's tone was full of appreciation, he liked such smart people.

It's also easy to talk to smart people.

Only this time, Dillen guessed his mind wrong.

He smiled and said, "I don't need these two percent of resources, what I need is a piece of territory." ”

Chen Ke lowered his head and said, "This territory is divided into the Shang Kingdom. ”

"As you must know, the Zhou Dynasty, which overthrew the Shang dynasty, later implemented a system called the feudal system."

"And that's what I want."

"I want to have a piece of land near the Shang Kingdom, which nominally belongs to the Shang Kingdom, but in fact belongs to me."

"How?"

Chen Ke didn't know what he was doing, but he had such an idea on a whim.

I want a piece of land overseas.

His gaze looked through the mountains and the countless voids, and looked into the distance where he could no longer see.

Di Lun was stunned for a moment, and then said instantly: "Of course you can!" ”

"After I go back this time, I want to learn the system of Daqin and establish a county system."

"If you count the scope of resources explored by Xu Envoy Ling before, there will be more than forty counties in the Shang Kingdom, and I am willing to give you the fiefdoms of ten counties for your country."

"How?"

Ten counties?

Xu Fu, who knew how big the ten counties of the Shang Kingdom were, was a little surprised in an instant, he looked at Chen Ke and then at Di Lun, and finally decided to be a deaf and dumb person.

Just listened silently.

Chen Ke looked at Di Lun, and then said, "Ten counties..... It's already a quarter of your territory, don't you think you won't regret it in the future? ”

Di Lun said directly and neatly: "Xiao Wang will definitely not regret it." ”

"When I go back, Governor Chen can let someone take over those ten counties at any time, and Xiao Wang will definitely not have any obstacles."

Chen Ke nodded slightly: "Okay." ”

He stood up and looked at the setting sun in the distance.

In fact, Chen Ke didn't know what he wanted these ten counties to do, and he didn't know what the use of asking for an overseas place was.

But......

Anyway, there is.

Thinking like this, he chuckled and shook his head: "The storm has been a bit big in recent days, you better stay away and don't let the storm get you involved." ”

After speaking, Chen Ke walked towards the distance.

In the courtyard, the setting sun reflected on this piece of palace, and the already withered yellow leaves were mixed with the cold east wind in the sky.

Dilon exhaled a breath of turbidity.

His heart was finally in his stomach, even if he paid ten counties, what could he do?

You must know that if you follow the current division of the Great Qin County, the territory of their Shang Kingdom is not forty at all, but fifteen.

Even if ten were sent out, they still had fifteen left.

The white wolf with empty gloves has been set for fifteen counties, how can he not be happy?

But he was not proud, for he knew that the reason he was able to accomplish this was because of the acquiescence of Governor Chen.

..........

On the street

The cold winter wind is constantly blowing, but even on such a winter day, the streets are filled with small vendors and children running around.

In the winter, the children would not come out at all, because if it was cold, they would die.

Not anymore.

Even if you sweat all over your body, after you go back, the temperature will not drop suddenly after not exercising.

That's a good thing.

........

Northern

Zhang Xilong looked at the big tent in front of him, his expression light.

He stepped into the tent.

Indomitable.
