Li Mu sent many people to inquire about the news of Yuedi, especially to straighten out the entanglements between the tribal nobles of Yuedi.

Although Li Mu was considered to be a semi-voluntary entry into Qin, he was actually cheated by the divisive scheme.

In addition, he had a good hand like Cai Ze as a friend, and Li Mu also became interested in this kind of strategy rooted in the court.

Now the Qin State has no time to destroy the Yue Land, but in the future, his ambitious disciple will definitely send a large army to sweep away the Yue and return the southern territory to the Qin State. So he used a divisive strategy to sow discord between Zhu Yue.

It's just that Zhuyue is relatively closed, and although Li Mu has determined the basic strategy, he doesn't have a deep understanding of it.

Since he didn't know much about it, Li Mu naturally thought it was dangerous.

"Even if it's not dangerous, what do you mean by coming here?" Li Mudao, "Aren't you instructing farming?" How did it become a business? ”

Zhu Xiang said: "There is also a lot of land in Yuedi. ”

Li Mu glanced at Zhu Xiang and didn't speak.

Zhu Xiang raised his hands in surrender and said, "Okay, I'm just going with the flow." When I was instructing Wu County in farming, I met many people from Dongou Kingdom. The culture here is similar to that of Wu County, especially the scholars, who yearn for the Central Plains civilization and want to return to the Yue Kingdom or the princes. ”

Li Mu hugged his arms and said, "Do you want to try to persuade the king of Dongou to return to Qin?" ”

Zhu Xiang said: "It's not that it is returned to Qin, but it is just to establish friendly relations with Qin and let them know that Qin is powerful." By the way, help them guide them in farming. ”

Li Mu was helpless: "You went to help the enemy farm?" ”

Zhu Xiang said: "Only farming can allow them to settle, and after settling, they will build a city, so that their army will be concentrated near the city." If they continue to focus on fishing and hunting, I am afraid that when the Qin army goes south, I am afraid they will pay a great price. ”

Zhu Xiang paused, sighed, and then said: "If civilians don't settle down, they won't have the opportunity to communicate with people outside, and they won't know what life is like in the Qin Nation." If they become peasants who are bound to the ground like the Central Plains, then the Qin State will be able to capture a penny of land and digest a penny of land just like it did in the Central Plains. Maybe...... Perhaps there will be fewer casualties on both sides. ”

If the Yue people were still fishing and hunting, then they would only escape into the mountains and forests in the face of the Qin people whose customs were completely different from their own, and they would have been dealing with the Qin people as soldiers.

But with assets, they will throw themselves into the trap, and maybe when the Qin army comes, they will surrender.

After listening to Zhu Xiang's words, Li Mu automatically replaced the Yue people with the Hu people in his mind.

Well, it is true that as Zhu Xiang said, if the Hu people had settled in the city, he would have destroyed the Hu people a long time ago. Hu people are not necessarily strong, they are too good at running.

"You ......" Li Mu thought for a long time, but didn't know what to say.

But he didn't say it, and he felt panicked again.

Zhu Xiang smiled: "But I am really uncomfortable to see such a good land not planted." ”

Li Mu supported the forehead.

Zhu Xiang spread his hands: "You know, this is my nature. ”

The core area of Dongou Kingdom is the Zhejiang generation of later generations.

It is a traditional land of fish and rice, and even during the Stone Civilization, a considerable number of castles were excavated.

You Yue Guo was also listed as one of the candidates for the Spring and Autumn Five Hegemons back then, and now you have become a barbarian who fishes and hunts for a living, are you happy?

Anyway, Zhu Xiang thinks that the Zhejiang people of later generations will put up their middle fingers.

How did you go back a few hundred years and turn back into the Yue Kingdom, how did you become a tribal system?

Dongou and Minyue inherited the civilization of Yue, and they also claimed to be the orthodox descendants of Yue, the vassal states of Zhou, and there was no difference between them and the Seven Heroes of the Warring States.

Therefore, Zhu Xiangcai thinks that he may come here for a trip and there will be unexpected surprises.

He really didn't think he was in danger.

Dongou is now doing business with Qin Jun and fighting hotly. Listening to Li Mu, the self-proclaimed king of Dongou even thought that he had formed an alliance with the Qin State.

Even if he is just an "official businessman" of the Qin State, the king of Dongou will be respectful to him when he gets the news.

If he lifted his turban and said that he was Zhu Xiang, the king of Dongou would probably kneel and ask him to sit on the seat.

Zhu Xiang knows very well the attitude of the people of this era towards Daxian, especially this kind of Yue people who used to be princes and are now reduced to "barbarians", they will be more respectful to Daxian, for fear that the Central Plains civilization will look down on him.

Back then, the Qin State was also trembling like this.

However, as for the understanding of how the Dongou Congress treats itself, Zhu Xiang did not come from the Qin State, but from his previous life.

When he went abroad to guide farming, this was the attitude of foreign officials towards "Chinese experts".

I heard the old professor say that Huaguo used to treat foreign experts in the same way.

Zhu Xiang went all the way south, and when they saw such a good land in Zhejiang, they planted some sparse mulberry trees and rice, and actually let it be barren. His fists were really hard.

Go fart fish, hunt fart, go farming!

The more mountains in Fujian, they can't help it, you don't have the same Dongou anymore!

Anyway, there will be no danger, revealing his identity means that the other monarch humbly kneels at his feet and calls himself "Zhu Xianggong", Zhu Xiang of course wants to seize the opportunity to let them plant a wave of fields.

If they planted enough fields, it would be easier for Li Mu to raise soldiers.

The grain of Dongou is the grain of Li Mu.

After Zhu Xiang finished talking about his plan, Li Mu's hand holding his forehead couldn't be put down.

He smiled bitterly: "When I went south with you, Wang Jian guessed if I had made any big moves, and I said no. Now he asked, "Do you think I have it?" ”

Zhu Xiang patted Li Mu on the shoulder and said, "I'm just helping Dongou Country plant a field, and then discuss with them to exchange cotton cloth for their silk Dongzhu and grain, what kind of big move is this?" ”

Dongou has always been on the plan of Zhu Xiang's "trade war".

After the textile workshop was established, they had to tempt Chu to grow cotton. After the state of Chu can provide a large amount of cotton, the loom will be in full swing.

Today's cloth is hard currency, the currency of all countries. The quality of cotton cloth is even higher than that of linen.

People at this time have no concept of economics, and they will not know what it means to have excess money to cause inflation. Therefore, the Qin State could use cotton cloth to harvest the materials of the enemy country.

Dongou is miserable, it's miserable from the fairyland, and it's too close to the Qin country. Zhu Xiang wanted to use cotton cloth to buy supplies, and first looked at Donou.

The products in the south are rare to the people of the Central Plains, and after harvesting the Donou, Li Mu's ship can monopolize the specialties of the south, and harvest the money in the money bags of the nobles of the Central Plains and the grain in the granary.

Fortunately, this trade war is not too bloody. Because cotton cloth can make clothes, unlike coins, it cannot be eaten or worn.

As long as Zhu Xiang innovates the local farming technology, the impact on the common people will not be particularly great.

However, Zhu Xiang walked around Dongou and sighed.

He thinks too much.

Dongou has no common people, it is still a complete slave country. Perhaps no matter how much cloth he brings here in the future, and no matter how much grain is produced in the field, the people who should starve to death will still starve to death.

Fortunately, it is difficult for people to freeze to death in the south.

After Zhu Xiang walked around the more prosperous city of Dongou Kingdom, the confusion in his heart disappeared.

It's better to engage in a feudal system. Zhu Xiang put his hands behind his back, looked at the slave owner's luxurious carriage, and sighed deeply.

The whip of the slave owner was raised high, and it was not the horse that pulled the cart, but the slave with a numb face.

And these slaves looked much better than the kneeling "civilians" in their more well-fitting clothes.

The whole market seemed to be thriving, but when the slave owner arrived, he took whatever he wanted, and no one dared to stop him.

However, the other party also knew each other, and only looked at the stalls of the locals to get things.

Although the merchant in the costume of another country knelt on the ground, he looked at everything with his head raised and looked at everything coldly, with disdain in his eyes.

Even the merchants were not accustomed to the barbarism of these slave owners.

Even in the capital of the Seven Kingdoms, when the princes and nobles came to the market, they would give money to buy things.

When Zhu Xiang returned to the inn where he was temporarily staying, Li Mu told him that the king of Dongou had an invitation.

That Gen Mao is actually the "Wang Shang" directly under the King of Donou,

"No wonder, he can directly do Dongzhu's business." Zhu Xiang said, "Li Mu, do you say that I went to see him as Zhu Xiang, or as Lu Buwei's subordinate?" ”

The corners of Li Mu's mouth twitched slightly: "You save me some snacks." ”

Zhu Xiang laughed.

On the second day, Zhu Xiang changed his clothes, got into a carriage, and went to the royal city of Dongou King.

And Wang Jian was greeting him at the gate of the royal city.

The king of Dongou stood beside Wang Qian, at a loss.

Wang Jian clenched his fists with a dark face: "Changpingjun, please pay attention to safety." If something happens to you, how will you explain it to you? ”

Zhu Xiang turned his head to Li Mu and said, "Look, it's not that I don't give you peace of mind, it's that Wang Jian exposed me." ”

Li Mu: "Hehe. ”

He specially asked Wang Jian to come.

King Dongou looked at Zhu Xiang, who was wrapped in cloth on his head, and stammered for a long time, unable to say a word.

In the end, he bowed to Zhu Xiang and said loudly in an accented accent: "Widow, widow to meet Zhu Xianggong!" ”

He, the king of Dongou who was not recognized by the king of Zhou, was not in terms of status, but equal to the feudal monarch of the Qin state.

Zhu Xiang returned the salute with the king of Dongou and said with a wry smile: "I didn't mean to play, I just didn't want to reveal my identity." Alas, your land here is barren, and I look uncomfortable. ”

Dongou King straightened up, his expression extremely shocked.

Zhu Xiang arched his hand: "If you don't dislike it, can you listen to me and leave the matter of Nongsang to me for the time being?" ”

Dongou King: "......"

The people behind the king of Don'ou: "......"

Zhu Xiang said: "I really can't bear that you will be barren of land that can produce food." ”

Li Mu's shoulders trembled slightly, trying to hold back.

Wang Jian stopped talking, gave his general an indescribable look, and then sighed deeply.

Dongou King stammered again: "You, Zhu Xianggong, you pretended to be a businessman to see the widow, is this because of this?" ”

Zhu Xiang said earnestly: "Yue was once one of the most powerful vassal states of the Zhou Dynasty, with a prosperous civilization, and even the Central Plains have heard of it. I observed today, and it is really embarrassing that even the land in Yue Country is barren. If you are offended, please forgive me. ”

Zhu Xiang did not call the other party the king of Don'ou. The king of Dongou himself was crowned the king, and Zhu Xiang, the Changping monarch of the Qin State, could not be recognized.

He called the other party Dongou Jun, which was already very respectful, and regarded the other party as the real king who legally controlled this area.

This is like when the king of Chu himself called the king, and the history books of other countries mention the king of Chu also mentioning the low-level title that made the king of Chu very humiliated.

The king of Dongou is indeed a descendant of the king of Yue, and he has no opinion on this.
