Chapter 589

"Your Highness, there seems to have been a change in Loulan, and at present, all the merchants of my Great Qin have returned to my Great Qin with their goods." Xiao He arched his hand in the court and said.

Qin Xi sat next to the throne and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Xiao He continued: "According to the merchant, Loulan reneged on the agreement and did not accept my Daqin's goods because the merchant had not returned. ”

"My Great Qin merchant wanted to travel west on his own, but he was threatened by Loulan with force, so he had no choice but to bear the losses and return to my Great Qin."

"Your Highness, Loulan reneged on her agreement with my Great Qin, and even more so a businessman who threatened my Great Qin by force, he really didn't take my Great Qin in his eyes, and he should punish Loulan!" An official stepped forward and said.

"The last general is willing to lead the troops and crusade against Loulan!" Yang Runhe was the first to stand up.

Li Si hurriedly said: "General, don't be in a hurry, you need to attack the country, and you still need to play Your Majesty at this time." ”

Li Si's words were actually reminding Qin Xi not to be deceived by the power in front of him and use the power of the army.

Qin Xi naturally knew what Li Si meant, so he said: "The matter of Loulan still needs to be studied deeply, and the matter of sending troops to fight will be decided by His Majesty." ”

Qin Xi looked at Xiao He and said, "Exempt the tax on this batch of goods returned to my Great Qin this time, and let them sell all of them to the Qin Xi Chamber of Commerce." ”

"No."

Li Si arched his hand and said, "Your Highness, do you want to send someone to Loulan to confirm the situation?" ”

Qin Xi said: "No need, to understand the situation, it is also the people of Loulan who came to explain to me Daqin!" ”

"No." Li Si didn't say much anymore and retreated.

After Qin Xi now sits in this position of governing the country,

On the contrary, he did not want to start a foreign war immediately, because for the current Great Qin, the most important thing is the development of industry.

Nowadays, the Ministry of Industry has made large-scale textile machines, as well as various tools to improve productivity, so the current Daqin has unlimited possibilities.

And in the event of a war, it is quite possible to break the situation of this development.

Sure enough, within a few days, Loulan sent a messenger.

As soon as Jibu came, he asked to see the First Emperor, but the First Emperor was not there, Qin Xi was in charge, and Qin Xi disappeared directly, and Jibu was hung in the embassy, as long as Yao Jia dealt with it.

Yao Jia came to the embassy, and as soon as he got out of the carriage, he saw Jibu hurriedly greet him.

"Lord Yao Jia, I haven't seen you for many years, but my lord is still so spirited." Gibb said.

Yao Jia didn't give Ji Bu a good face, and said, "If it weren't for His Royal Highness the Prince's orders, the old man wouldn't have bothered to come here to see you." ”

Ji Bu looked embarrassed, and hurriedly asked, "Lord Yao Jia, what's wrong?" Is there something wrong with it? Master Yao Jia can explain that it will be changed in the next step. ”

Yao Jia said as he walked inside: "I'm a merchant in Daqin, I can't do business in Loulan, so I have no choice but to return to my Daqin, what's going on?" ”

Gibb arched his hand and said, "It's because of this." ”

"Does the envoy think this is a trivial matter? My crown prince of Great Qin attaches great importance to this! Yao Jia said.

"Yes, yes, yes." Ji Bu hurriedly said: "Actually, I came here this time for this matter, so I hope to meet His Majesty the Great Qin Emperor and explain this matter in person." ”

Yao Jia said: "Now this matter is handled by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of my dynasty, and you can't see Your Majesty, what."

Just tell the old man about the situation, and the old man will report to His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

Gibb nodded yes, and first invited Yao Jia into the hall to take a seat.

Then he said: "I have no way to do this in Loulan, the two big countries in the West have broken out at this time, and the merchants of my Loulan have not heard from me so far, so I can't do this." ”

"Is there still a big country in the West?" Yao Jia asked.

"Yes, there is an Otsuki clan. There is also a Macedonia, and a Kangju in the north. Gibb said.

"Lord Yao Jia, now that Macedonia and the Da Yue clan have fought, cutting off my Loulan's business route, and now only the merchants of the Da Yue clan have returned." Gibb said with a sigh.

Yao Jia asked, "How did this Macedonia and the Great Moon Clan fight?" ”

"It should be that the Otsutsuki clan has been constantly provoking on the border of Macedonia, so this big war has been triggered." Gibb said.

Yao Jia nodded and said, "Loulan's reason for this is understandable, but at present, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still angry, and he will definitely not see you." ”

"How is that good, please ask Master Yao Jia to show you a clear path."

"Oh yes, yes, yes!" Ji Bu hurriedly said: "At this time, I have brought a lot of gifts to give to His Royal Highness the Prince, and I also asked Lord Yao Jia to help send them to His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

Gibb hurriedly ordered the chests of gold and silver that he had brought out.

"Gibout's envoy!" Yao Jia said very angrily: "This matter is not a few boxes of gifts that can make His Royal Highness the Crown Prince angry, I will convey the envoy's explanation to His Royal Highness the Prince, but will His Royal Highness the Crown Prince accept these boxes of gifts, wait for the old man to inform you." ”

"That's a lot

Thank you, Lord Yao Jia, if Lord Yao Jia has any needs, even if he asks, he will definitely repay him. Gibb said.

Yao Jia nodded and said, "There is one more thing that makes His Royal Highness the Crown Prince a little angry, and I hope the envoy can also explain it." ”

"Your Excellency, please speak." Gibb's heart shuddered, but he was still pretending to be calm.

Yao Jia stroked his beard and said, "What is the purpose of Loulan to show troops on the border of my Great Qin? ”

"Shen Bing?" Gibb looked confused.

Yao Jia explained: "It means hoarding soldiers and horses. ”

"Oooh." Jibu said: "The envoy misunderstood, my Loulan did not show troops on the border of Daqin, but due to the increase in the population of my Loulan, the number of troops naturally increased. This is nothing more than a normal dispatch of troops to guard the border. ”

"Are you sure it's just guarding the border, not plotting against my steppe?" Yao Jia stared at Jibu and said.

Ji Bu arched his hand and said: "Don't dare, I, Loulan, know the great Qin Tianwei, and I don't dare to have such a heart." ”

"I also ask Lord Yao Jia to tell His Majesty the Emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that my Loulan has no intention of being an enemy of Great Qin, let alone disrespecting Great Qin."

Yao Jia looked at Ji Bu and said, "There is no basis for this matter, my Daqin still wants to see the number of troops stationed in Loulan before it recovers." ”

"This~" Gibb suddenly became a little embarrassed.

Loulan's soldiers and horses Chen Bing Daqin border is indeed not a plot against Daqin, but a precautionary heart against Daqin, how can this be withdrawn?

"Difficult?" Yao Jia asked.

Ji Bu arched his hand and said: "This matter still needs to wait for the next return to Loulan to raise troops for the king of my family before a decision can be made." ”

"Good! However, wait for the envoy to return home

Later, if Loulan does not reduce the border troops, I, Daqin, can only use force to help your country reduce its troops in order to ensure the security of the Daqin border! ”

Jib's face suddenly turned ugly, this was simply a naked threat, forcing Loulan to reduce the strength of the border.

Ji Bu bowed his head and said, "After returning to China, I must tell the king of my family, and ask Qin Guo to wait patiently." ”
