"What is this big white cloud? Is it a stone, or is it a plant? ”

"Baiqi is a type of stone, a kind of ore, hot, long-term service makes people spasm.

But after stir-frying, there is a strange fragrance, and the rats love it, and they die immediately after eating. ”

Xiao He is like a walking living bag, knowing everything and knowing everything.

"Then, the current demand for Bai Kun in the South Vietnamese Kingdom will not be less.

Where does this white stone come from? ”

Lu Pheasant groaned and said, raising his eyes to stare at Xiao He.

Xiao He's heart sank, and the queen in front of him asked casually, chatting as if she was a homely person, and her intelligence was rare in the world, so she replied busily,

"The minister has been in the customs for many years, and he knows a little about it.

The "Classic of Mountains and Seas" contains, 'Xishan 臯 (gāo) Tu Zhi Mountain, with white stones, famous and famous'.

In fact, Baiqi mainly comes from the counties of Hanzhong, and Changsha is also produced sporadically. ”

The queen's eyes flashed suddenly, and her eyes lit up,

"In this way, the mainland of Nanyue does not produce white stone?"

"Basically no production.

Even if it is produced occasionally, it will not be enough for them to use it urgently in the past few months. ”

Xiao He said humbly, he had a vague premonition of Lu Pheasant's next plan, and he couldn't help but admire it more and more.

"yes, I see.

Zhao Tuo's side, what kind of charter is it now? ”

***

According to common sense, the white rice stored in South Vietnam is also about to run out.

At present, although they do not show traces on the surface, they have begun to buy from all over in private, and they have also sent people to secretly contact Changsha State.

However, the person who came was not an official envoy, but a close confidant of Zhao Tuo, so he could be regarded as going to explore the situation. ”

The old god Xiao He was twisting his beard on the ground, and his words were long.

Lu Pheasant stroked his palms and smiled,

"Isn't it our dereliction of duty that the big deal has been delivered to the door, and God will not take it?

Between Changsha and South Vietnam, but has always been related to the city? ”

"Well, I can't talk about it, and I can't talk about it.

Anyway, the mountains are steep, the roads are extremely difficult and dangerous, the government can't manage it, and there is no Guanshi designated by the king.

Private businessmen are very diligent in their exchanges, and black does not mention white things.

Not only Changsha, but also Bashu and other places, there are often horse teams to go to Nanyue, Southwest Yi and other places, and do some small business on both sides. ”

Lu Pheasant was thoughtful, and suddenly thought of Yelang County in the previous life,

"That, in the northwest of South Vietnam, is there still a Yelang County, isn't it, Yelang Country?"

"Yes, Yelang Country is also between the major mountains in the southwest, and it is basically not accessible, and it seems to be accessible along the five-foot road in the Qin period.

But we don't know much about the specific situation. ”

Not only do you not know much about it, but the people of Yelang Country don't know about Han Kingdom either, so it was only later that they asked the question "Who is the Han and I are the greatest", which has been ridiculed for thousands of years.

This anecdote was recorded in the annals of history by Taishi Gong, and later generations thought that Yelang was arrogant and inadequate.

But if you change places, the people of Yelang have grown up in the miasma mountains for generations, and they have really never walked out of the mountains, and they really don't know how big the Han is.

The people finally met the official envoy of the Han court, and asked a few more words curiously, but it became a laughing stock for the ages, and it was purely a disaster, she thought to herself.

If you can get through Nanyue and Yelang, and then go southwest, you can reach India, and India at this time is still known as body poison.

In the previous life, when Master Yijing, who went to the body poison to learn scriptures and seek the Dharma, returned with a large number of scriptures, Wu Zetian personally led his ministers to meet him outside the eastern capital of Luoyang.

It was Venerable Yijing who told her earnestly that what the high monk Xuanzang said forty years ago was true, and the most suitable way to call the Zhengyin of that equally ancient and mysterious country was not body poison, but "India".

Whether it is poison or India, she is a little excited about this road that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has not been able to carve in his life.

However, things still have to be done step by step, one by one, and it is better to solve the rat plague in South Vietnam first.

She came back to her senses and saw that Xiao He was looking at herself expectantly, so she said,

"In my opinion, we will work hard to coordinate with all parties, set aside our reserve amount for anti-rat use, and sell the rest to them."

"Then, it is better to sell it from the official market, which is easier to control and can also prevent looting.

It's just that this batch of white stone is different from the past, I don't know how we should price it? ”

Xiao He asked tentatively.

"Settle at market price, and brothers must also settle accounts.

What's more, we have nothing to do with South Vietnam. ”

"Market price?"

Xiao He gasped slightly,

"The amount of usage in South Vietnam will never be less-"

"You tell Wu Chen, first quote them a market price.

By the way, remind Zhao Tuo, our Hanzhong is rich in land and resources, and the white storage is abundant, and he can get as much as he asks for in the three counties.

Then, I sat back and waited for Zhao Tuo to come to me to bargain. ”

Lu Pheasant said with a smile, a pair of phoenix eyes were shining, dignified and powerful, and asked,

"What else does South Vietnam lack except white stone?"

"There is a shortage of everything, all kinds of iron tools, farm tools, and silk."

"And what do they have?"

"Actually, there are a lot of good things produced in South Vietnam, but they are all a little flashy.

Ivory rhino horns, hawksbill turtles, pearls, silver and copper, as well as spice corals imported from the coastal merchants' markets, are all rare items that can be sold for high prices. ”

"Okay, then let's talk about it together, and let's also see the sincerity of South Vietnam."

In the previous life, she was the daughter of a large timber merchant who had successfully operated for generations, and she never thought that there was anything inferior to the businessman who made a profit.

Moreover, there is a lot of waste waiting to be rebuilt, and from time to time it is necessary to counter-insurgency and use troops, and the country is short of money.

Thinking of using soldiers, although she knew that Liu Ji's personal campaign had been won, she still had to pretend to be concerned and ask a few words.

"Is there a military report from His Majesty?"

"Everything is progressing as scheduled at the moment," Xiao He quickly replied, a little confused,

"You don't seem to be worried about the war on the front lines at all?"

Lu Pheasant smiled faintly,

"Before Your Majesty set out on the expedition, he had already told me that Prime Minister Yan was Wen Zhen and that he was involved with General Yan Zhao.

So, I guess you're going to make a noise, turn the tiger away, and then take a salary from the bottom of the kettle? ”

Xiao He's body shook, involuntarily lowered his voice, leaned over and said,

"The Queen's ingenuity is admirable.

With Zang Tu as the arrogance of the people, when His Majesty drove the expedition in person, he would definitely lead the main army out of the Yan country to meet the enemy.

In this way, our army can take the opportunity to sneak attack, and join forces with Wen Zhenli, who stayed in the capital Jicheng, cut off the retreat of the Yan army, and exterminated Zang Di's lair. ”

"Well, Your Majesty mentioned at the beginning that there will be two ways to meet the troops this time.

All the way from Daidi to the west of Yan State, all the way from Zhao State to the north, directly hit Yandu.

I guess that His Majesty's real body will probably be on the road to Jicheng, and the road to Daidi is the bait to lure Zang out of the hole.

I know it's a life-and-death secret, and if you say it, you just need to nod your head. ”

After a while, Xiao He nodded his head, and he was full of emotion in his heart-

Strategizing and winning a decisive victory thousands of miles away, the queen really does not need to keep an eye on the military situation from time to time.

Lu Pheasant said lightly,

"Are all the children here?

Let's go, Xiangguo, let's go and have a look. ”
