Chapter 382: Envoy to Kangju
"Summoning Chen Qing."
After a while, Chen Qing came in a hurry.
"Is there any capable person in the Pawn Mansion?"
Chen Qing was a little confused, thought for a while and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the pedestrian Dingchi is quite competent, he is the twenty-sixth of the first Qin Shi, his person is good at argumentation and quick thinking, Your Majesty wants to send him as an envoy?" ”
I nodded and said lightly, "Shanben, go and call him over, I want to see him." ”
It didn't take long for Dingchi to rush over.
"See Your Majesty!"
I frowned imperceptibly, I don't have much of an impression of this person, but the first impression is ...... The main ones are short and dark, and the current appointments such as Zhao Shanben, Wu Zhichong, and Li Qu are at least good-looking......
However, I knew that I couldn't judge people by their appearance, so I said, "I want you to live in peace." ”
Dingchi was a little surprised, and hurriedly glanced at Chen Qing, who didn't squint: "Talk back." ”
Only then did Ding Chi stand up again, paused, and said cautiously: "Dare to ask Your Majesty, what is the matter with the envoy Kang's residence?" ”
"Kangju has signs of falling to Guishan." I slowly explained the reason: "Great Qin has always convinceed the hearts of the people with conquest, but now that I have stopped fighting, I don't want to start a war again, so I hope you can persuade Kangju and Great Qin to be good." ”
Dingchi was just stunned for a moment, and immediately said excitedly: "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to go!" ”
"Kangju has now come into contact with Guishan." I smiled and said, "You're not afraid of never coming back?" ”
Dingchi said with a resolute expression: "Die for the country, but also!" ”
"Good!" I patted the armrest and praised: "This is my true character of a Qin man!" There is only one purpose of this trip to Kangju, which is to tell Kangju Chen about the benefits and disadvantages, so that Kangju and Daqin can switch to each other! If Kangju is willing to switch it on again, it means that they have not completely fallen to Kangju, and the rest of the things will be handled by themselves. ”
Since the death of Huqi, Kangju has taken the initiative to close the pass, obviously afraid of Daqin.
Dingchi didn't say a word, bowed down and said: "The minister receives the order!" ”
After Dingchi left, I looked at Chen Qing and said slowly: "You just talked about his advantages and disadvantages?" ”
Chen Qing glanced up at me: "The minister thinks that his poor appearance is not a shortcoming, if he says that his biggest shortcoming, it is that the measurement is a little small." ”
I smiled: "The measurement is small, which is suitable as an envoy, if the measurement is large, maybe the interests of Daqin will be handed over." ”
Chen Qing smiled and said, "Your Majesty is extremely right. ”
I waved my hand: "Go ahead, let him go when he is ready." ”
"The minister retired."
————
Soon after, the first batch of beasts transported by Guishan were sent to Xianyang.
Upper Forest Garden.
Looking at the restless beast in front of me, I frowned and said, "Why is it less than half?" ”
The person from Guishan smiled awkwardly: "Back to Emperor Daqin, it is too far from Guishan to Xianyang, the weather is still cold when you set off, plus these beasts eat too much, and a lot of ...... died on the way."
I thought about it for a moment and changed my smile to a smile: "You have worked hard, the beast is not only my favorite thing, but also a symbol of friendship between Daqin and Guishan, so let's do it, no matter how many you die on the road, I will give you money according to the full amount." ”
The people who came were overjoyed: "Thank you Emperor Daqin!" Emperor Daqin rest assured, the next time he will definitely come is definitely the best beast! ”
When I heard this, I denied: "No, I have heard that the best beast is produced by Guishan, and you are all from the other four marquis, right?" ”
The person who came hissed: "That's right, how did Emperor Daqin know?" ”
"If I can't even see this, how can I love it? If it's a fierce beast of Kushan, I can spend a lot of money! ”
The person who came immediately complimented: "Emperor Daqin's eyes are like a torch, and the villain admires it!" ”
I smiled, "Go ahead, I'm going to have a good look." ”
The visitor immediately retreated.
Feng Zheng looked at these dozen fierce beasts and exclaimed: "This fierce beast in the Western Regions is indeed very domineering!" ”
I pointed to the carriage loaded with the beast: "In that case, I will reward you, and take it home." ”
Feng Zheng was shocked, and hurriedly cried with a sad face: "Your Majesty, the minister lost his words!" There are so many fierce beasts, I'm afraid that I can't feed them even if I cut the flesh of my ministers! ”
"Hahaha......" I burst out laughing, making you talk a lot.
"Then I had to reluctantly take back my life." Turning his head, he ordered: "Meng He, scatter these fierce beasts into Shanglin Yuan, they must not escape, let them fend for themselves." ”
"Yes!"
It has already cost so much money to buy, if you really raise these fierce beasts, it will really become a tired strategy.
————
On the other side, after returning to the inn, the Kushan merchant immediately hurriedly packed his things.
Seeing this, the Guishan merchant who lived with him hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Brother, aren't you here to send fierce beasts to Emperor Daqin?" Why is this leaving? ”
The merchant smiled and said, "Guess what? Those fierce beasts that died on the road, the Great Qin Emperor gave me all the money! ”
Everyone was surprised: "Emperor Great Qin is so merciful? ”
The people scoffed: "There are no outsiders here, I'll just say it directly, where is the mercy, I think the Great Qin Emperor is a fool!" ”
Everyone was taken aback, a few days ago, because of the matter of spying on intelligence, a lot of merchants in Guishan were arrested, and now where do they dare to say these words, they are even terrified when they hear this.
"Brother, don't talk nonsense, it's going to hurt us!"
"You don't know, the Great Qin Emperor not only gave me all the money, but also claimed that the fierce beasts of Guishan were the best! Willing to pay the highest price to buy! The man got carried away and said, "Isn't this stupid? ”
Someone was happy: "Who doesn't know that although Guishan occupies the largest place, its land environment is not suitable for raising fierce beasts, and the Great Qin Emperor actually said that Guishan's fierce beasts are the best?" Looks like he doesn't understand these things at all! ”
"So, what likes beasts, I think he just likes mighty things, as for the real habits of these beasts, the place of origin, etc., he doesn't know anything!"
Someone immediately came to his senses: "You are in such a hurry to go back, it won't be to go to Guishan to buy fierce beasts, right?" ”
The delivery man immediately realized that he was too complacent, closed his mouth, said "goodbye" and hurried away.
The inn suddenly became lively.
"Hurry, hurry up and send the letter back, hurry up and go to Guishan to buy it!"
"My legs and feet are numb, I'm going back overnight! Guishan is forbidden to raise beasts privately, the number is limited, and you won't be able to grab it if it's late! ”
"Alas, if it weren't for Guishuang's restriction on private farming, we would have made a lot of money this time!"
Someone started to think crookedly: "Why don't we go and buy the beasts of the other four marquis, disguised as Guishuang?" ”
Someone sneered: "Just you're smart! Not only did the Emperor of Great Qin say it first, but even the Marquis of Wuxi also issued a document notice that all beasts that enter and leave Guishan must indicate their place of origin, and violators will be whipped forty! Have you been whipped forty times? ”
————
In the apse of Zhangtai, after listening to Meng He's report, I smiled and said: "Everyone is profit-seeking, under such a frenzy, even if Guishan has more plans, the matter of raising fierce beasts privately will be repeatedly prohibited, and he has a headache." ”
"What if Kushan uses more harsh measures?"
"Either you kill, you will lose the hearts of the people; Either open, then the plan is also! ”
