Chapter 298: Win-Win
"It's been early, Your Highness has learned this little thing, and it's not even a fur." Wang Jian was also a little helpless.
Although Zhao Qingrui is not good at these things, he still learns things very quickly, which makes it both gratifying and painful for him to teach.
Zhao Qingrui learned these things, and basically couldn't use these knowledge.
After some gags, Zhao Qingrui still honestly began to learn these things.
If she really values literature over martial arts, something will definitely happen to Daqin.
Two days later, above the court meeting, Zhao Qingrui also met the envoy of the Peacock Dynasty.
Looking at the group of people who walked into the Qilin Palace, the officials all looked at these people.
As soon as these people entered Daqin, they were guarded by officers and soldiers, and when it came to diplomacy, they did not dare to contact these people easily, and if something went wrong, they would not be responsible.
"I've seen His Royal Highness the Great Qin Prince." The envoy knelt down and said, although he already knew that the prince of this powerful country was a woman, and when he saw it with his own eyes, the impact was not small at all.
"No need to be polite, all the envoys have come from afar, and those who come are guests, and those who come will be given seats." Zhao Qingrui smiled.
"Thank you, His Royal Highness the Great Qin Prince." The leader hurriedly thanked him.
The other officials also looked at his clothes with curiosity, the clothes on their bodies looked a little rougher than the clothes that Daqin had, but the patterns on the clothes had a mysterious feeling.
Their accents are also a bit strange.
This is a country other than the Xiongnu Yue clan, and everyone is full of curiosity about them.
"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I, the King of the Peacock Kingdom, am very interested in the specialties of Great Qin, and I also asked our Acting King to ask His Majesty the First Emperor of Great Qin how he is doing." The one who is the head is the first to say.
"On behalf of my father, I would like to thank King Shirija." Zhao Qingrui smiled.
Zhao Qingrui's words made the eyes of the envoy group widen, the name of the king, the prince of Great Qin actually knew, what was going on? How did she know?
Several people's hearts were beating wildly, seeing that Zhao Qingrui was young before, it was probably unrealistic to fool her.
Not only were these envoys surprised by Zhao Qingrui's words, but the officials in the court also looked at Zhao Qingrui with wide eyes.
Even Li Si and Feng Quji were secretly frightened by Zhao Qingrui, speculating about this matter in their hearts.
Could it be that the intelligence network of the Black Ice Station is already so huge? Do you even know the situation in that country thousands of miles away?
Fortunately, he is not above the court at this time, otherwise he would have been wronged.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, don't worry, but I am the king of the Peacock Kingdom, I don't know where His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows?" The messenger smiled, as if asking a trivial matter.
"This naturally has our own way, the envoys want to come to trade with my Great Qin, and my Great Qin is not a stingy person, during this time I have asked people to sort out the tradable items." Zhao Qingrui said calmly.
Without asking what he wanted to know, the envoy's eyes were slightly gloomy, if the people of Great Qin knew most of the situation inside the Peacock Kingdom, it would be too terrifying.
There is no need to go back early, tell the king about this, you must be on guard against Daqin.
"I don't know what? Trade is a matter of two countries, and we can't afford to be careless."
"This is natural, I have asked Brother Jiang Lu to prepare, Brother Jiang Lu, you tell them about trade." Zhao Qingrui looked at Jiang Lu, this was already discussed.
"The Minister's Command." Stand up and bow down.
"This trade is related to the diplomatic relations between the two countries, and my Great Qin is also willing to make friends with the Peacock Kingdom, and the things I am willing to take out are the treasures of my Great Qin, the first of all is salt, I remember that the salt eaten by the envoys is still coarse salt, and my Great Qin's salt-making technology is countless times better than your country's, I don't know if you are willing?" A small plate of refined salt was served.
Seeing this refined salt, the eyes of the envoy of the Peacock Kingdom flashed slightly, and they naturally knew more about this thing after entering Great Qin, and they really wanted this kind of refined salt.
Seeing the looks of these people, who was present was not a human spirit.
"Your Highness, no, the production of refined salt is not high,
It cannot be used to trade with other countries." Li Si hurriedly stood up and said.
"The minister seconded the proposal, now that my Great Qin and the Xiongnu are at war, the consumption of salt is very great, so you can't trade it rashly." Feng Quji also hurriedly stood up.
Daqin is not short of salt, and it is even continuously refined, constantly circulating throughout Daqin.
"Your Highness the Prince, we are willing." After some hesitation, they really need it.
"Refined salt is the foundation of my Great Qin, and I can't trade it out,......。
Zhao Qingrui sat on the top, watching the general Lu below skillfully talk to these people, using the large number of items that Great Qin owned in exchange for various gems.
I have to say that these guys are also very shrewd, and the things of their kingdom, which are really valuable, have not been taken out, only some gems.
These things can be exchanged for more valuable treasures, which is simply a lot of money for them, anyway, there are many, many such gems on their side, which are not worth much.
There are too many good things on Daqin's side, and it is simply not too cost-effective to exchange these gems for them.
The two countries intersected, although it was only a simple trade, and the matter was discussed for two days before it was thoroughly discussed.
The people of the Peacock Dynasty exchanged dozens of carts of gems for the best-selling cloth, refined salt, and paper in Great Qin, which are all really good things.
Of course, he heard about Daqin's high-yield grain, and he also wanted to change it, but unfortunately these people in Daqin didn't agree.
But they are also very satisfied to be able to exchange so many things.
If you take these good things back, you will definitely receive a reward from the king.
Thinking of the glory and wealth in the future, the mood of a group of people wanting to go back also began to be urgent.
Seeing those people returning home, Zhao Qingrui held a banquet.
The banquet of Daqin, the envoys also met for the first time, wonderful singing and dancing, and delicious meals.
Suddenly, I didn't really want to go back, the food here was countless times better than theirs.
Looking at the appearance of several people gobbling up, the officials in the court unconsciously straightened their waists, barbarians are barbarians, vulgar.
Zhao Qingrui saw the actions of the courtiers, and it was rare to see such a scene of unanimity with the outside world.
Looking at them pretending to be elegant and noble one by one, Zhao Qingrui was straight and happy, interesting, really interesting.
However, looking at the group of uninformed guys in the Peacock Kingdom, Zhao Qingrui felt even more interesting.
The historian standing on the side silently recorded this scene, this Peacock Kingdom is the first time to come to Daqin, and all affairs must be recorded.
At the end of the banquet, the envoys of the Peacock Kingdom were a little overwhelmed, and there were a few drunk.
The wine also made them very interested, and Zhao Qingrui did not embarrass them, and directly asked people to send them some wine so that they could transport it back.
As long as the technology stays in Daqin, nothing else is a problem.
The envoy of the Peacock Dynasty left Daqin, and Zhao Qingrui was empty, so he went to Zhisunei.
"Your Highness, the gems sent by the envoy of the Mauryan Dynasty are all here, Your Highness has seen it, and the ministers have already registered it." Su Ling said respectfully.
"Yes, yes, I'm relieved that you can do things." Zhao Qingrui said with a smile, Suling is a technical nerd, except for finishing the things in the Su Nei, the rest of the time is engaged in his own research.
Waving his hand to let Su Ling go to his own business, Zhao Qingrui held these gems and looked at them.
How can these things create more value, Zhao Qingrui began to think.
At least in this treasury, these are just beautiful stones, and if they are placed on the market, then these are treasures that can create countless values.
I have to go back and discuss it with Wang Xian, and these gems can't all be placed here, so they have to be taken out and exchanged for money.
But before that, she needs to pick out some beautiful ones, leave a little for her father, give a little to her brothers and sisters, and she also wants to make some jewelry out of these beautiful gemstones.
After selecting the gems, Zhao Qingrui asked people to register, and left Zhisu with these things.
Back in the East Palace, Zhao Qingrui looked at Hui'er, "Go to the Imperial Mansion Order and find a few palace people who can make jewelry."
"No." Soon, the palace man, who is good at making jewelry, was called over.
"Can you make these drawings into jewelry?" Looking at these palace people, Zhao Qingrui asked, the patterns of these jewelry were naturally bought by her with some points.
"Back to Your Highness, you can do it, it's not too difficult." The leader took the pattern, and his eyes became hot, the style of these jewelry is so beautiful, can it still be like this? How did he not think of it before?
Now he just wants to go back quickly and make these beautiful jewelry.
"If you can make it, send it over when it's done." Zhao Qingrui nodded, the styles she chose were relatively simple.
-----------------
The news of another victory at the border came, and the DPRK and China were still lively.
Zhao Qingrui was clear about the situation on the border, the Xiongnu coalition army was repulsed, and under the iron hooves of Great Qin, they had to retreat.
There are millions of troops on the border of the Great Qin Garrison, and although the number of Great Qin's war horses is not large, even if the number is small, they can still win more with less and beat them to the ground.
The cavalry they were proud of did not play any advantage in the battle with Great Qin, and even more people than Great Qin's were still suppressed.
In today's Xiongnu royal court, the leaders of all tribes have come over, and their faces are even more gloomy, and the previous three major battles have all ended in defeat.
The strength of Great Qin made them feel a trace of despair.
"How's that good? But you gathered us together to attack Daqin, obviously it was your Huns who invaded Daqin the most, and it was you who Daqin wanted to fight, so why did you involve us in this quagmire?" The leader of the Yue clan said unhappily.
At the beginning, Mao Dun was a proton in the Yue Clan, but he actually fled back to the Xiongnu, and now Mao Dun is still sitting in the position of Shan Yu, and he directly takes away the command of their army by strong means.
Coupled with the defeat of all three major wars, the anger and resentment that had accumulated in their hearts exploded.
Of course, they want to enter the Central Plains, the land of the Central Plains is vast and fertile, and there are many good things that are not available in the grassland, these are what they want.
However, the strength of Great Qin made them frightened, and they had already been frightened.
If Great Qin captured the Xiongnu, what should they do then?
Surrender? Submit to? These are all pretty good.
What if Great Qin did not accept their surrender and submission, and insisted on destroying them?
Da Qin was like a sharp big knife, hanging above everyone's heads.
"The grasslands and deserts are vast, we occupy a favorable location, and it is not so easy for Great Qin to capture us, if we don't unite together, this is looking for death." Mao Dun said coldly.
This group of people is dragging their feet, he really wants to cut them all directly.
One by one, they only cared about small profits, but they didn't think about the future, Daqin had to fight, otherwise Daqin would definitely not tolerate them.
However, these people cannot be killed, otherwise he will not be able to command so many people.
After all, it was only a temporary union, and if these leaders were dead, he would definitely not be able to command the armies of the other tribes.
Thinking of this, Mao Dunshan couldn't help but rub his eyebrows.
After deliberating for a long time, these people were temporarily calmed.
Returning to his residence, the guard leaned into Mao Dun's ear and whispered, "Shan Yu, Sui Shicong has disappeared for most of the day."
This person was the person who specially arranged for Mao Dunshan to protect Sui Shicong in the past, and at the same time monitored Sui Shicong.
Although he performed well, and it seemed that he had finally come to his senses, but he was still very uneasy about this person, after all, he had lived in Daqin for so many years, and he couldn't verify this.
"What? It's gone? Find it for me at once." Mao Dun Shan Yu's face suddenly became gloomy.
Soon, the guards were ordered to leave
, the entire Xiongnu began to move, wanting to find out Sui Shicong.
At this time, Sui Shicong, he was already riding a horse and was about to arrive at the Great Wall.
A few days ago, he transported all the goods in his hand back to Daqin, and the Xiongnu tribes were about to be wiped out soon, and it was no longer meaningful for him to stay in the Xiongnu.
Without worries, Sui Shicong ran away directly with the people who accompanied him.
Looking at the Great Wall not far away, Sui Shicong's eyes were a little moist, he was finally going home.
Daqin is his home.
Sui Shicong sent a letter to Meng Tian early, and Meng Tian also specially asked people to come to greet him and protect his safety by the way.
Looking at the hundreds of Qin Ruishi who came over, Sui Shicong walked over and slapped Chu Yan on the shoulder.
"Yes, I haven't seen you for a long time, and you've been promoted again." Sui Shicong said with a smile.
"Fortunately, your trip is not bad, and Your Highness still remembers your merits." Chu Yan said seriously, as long as he doesn't drink, he is a calm person.
"When I return to Xianyang, I will definitely go to see His Highness as soon as possible." Sui Shicong said with a smile.
"Okay, let's stop chatting, let's go back to the Great Wall first, this is the territory of the Xiongnu, it's not safe in the end." Chu Yan chuckled, seeing that Sui Shicong came back safely, this was more important than anything else.
The group left this side quickly, and not long after they left, a Hun cavalry chased after them.
After seeing Sui Shicong follow Daqin's people away, his face was gloomy and almost dripping.
