In addition to the orchid of the Western Regions,

This caravan from the Western Regions also brought many specialties from the Western Regions.

For example, Dawan horses, spices, raisins, wine.... Wait a minute.

These items,

It's like silk, tea and porcelain in the Central Plains.

Wherever it is placed, it is a scarce product that is in short supply.

This time

This caravan from the Otsuki clan,

It is to trade with the countries of the Central Plains.

From the Otsuki clan all the way to the east, it passed through various countries along the way.

presently

The strongest country in the north of Kyushu.

It is none other than the state of Zhao and the state of Qin.

Further east, there are Wei and Qi.

Although there are many small countries scattered in the middle, the effect of sparse population and small territory is obviously not attractive to caravans in the Western Regions.

And Guan Zhong came to Han Lin to talk about the establishment of trade relations with the countries of the Western Regions.

merely

Guan Zhong talked at length earlier.

Later, Han Lin was staring at the task that the system had just released and fell into deep thought.

【Ding! 】

[Discovery Quest.] 】

[Charming eyes with shame, red lips laugh and divide, wind rolls the grape belt, sunshine pomegranate skirt. ] In ancient times, the emperor attacked the Western Regions, was it for a few bunches of raisins? 】

[Option 1: Send troops to the Western Regions, snatch 1,000 orchids from the Western Regions, reward: 100,000 Dawan horses, and reduce the cost of raising war horses in Qi by 50%. 】

[Option 2: I am a righteous gentleman, you are looking at the wrong person. Decline the task, no reward. 】

Just after Han Lin took the orchid into his arms.

The system beeps appear.

And it's a long-lost task tip.

This kind of task,

Han Lin has also made friends many times.

Just crossed that meeting,

Just because of the task, Changlin Pass had to be ceded.

And

The rewards for this kind of quest are usually very generous.

Like this one.

100,000 Dawan horses!

As we all know, Dawan horses come from the Dawan Kingdom in the Western Regions.

Because when sweating,

Sweat was red, like blood.

Hence the name sweat blood BMW.

The slender neck is high, the limbs are slender, the skin is thin and the hair is fine, the steps are light, the body is well-proportioned, and the majesty is fierce.

With great strength, fast speed, and high endurance, it is almost the perfect template for a war horse.

According to the "Historical Records", Dawan Ma "its congenital horse is also".

You can imagine how precious this horse is.

As a result, now,

The system not only gives 100,000 horses at a time.

It also reduced the cost of raising war horses in the later period.

Horses have no night grass and no fertilizer.

You know,

To raise a war horse, you have to consume more than 25 catties of feed every day.

Half of them are concentrated feeds such as barley and oats.

This kind of overhead,

Far more than providing for one person.

In the Song Dynasty, the Shayuan horse farm accounted for more than 9,000 hectares of pastureland.

But he could only herd 6,000 horses.

It costs more than 400,000 yuan a year.

The most important thing is that

Not all horses can be used as war horses.

A horse can only be used for more than ten years.

With such a high amount of consumption, it can be seen how difficult it is to form a cavalry corps.

Compared with

Although the construction of the Great Wall will also cost a lot of manpower and material resources.

But compared to the two,

After the Great Wall is built, it only needs to be maintained every year.

opposite

If you are raising horses, the annual cost is astronomical.

Now, the system publishes this task.

But he helped Han Lin and directly cut the cost by half.

And also gave away 100,000 sweat and blood BMWs for nothing!

Although the task is somewhat outrageous.

Remote bathing, just to snatch a thousand women from the Western Regions?

It's ridiculous!

If it weren't for the fact that the rewards of this mission were quite rich,

Han Lin would never think about thinking about it for a second longer.

(System: Yes, yes, you're tall, you're amazing, you're thick-skinned!) Made, I have never seen such a brazen person, who robs women if he wants to, and he says it so high-soundingly. ）

Understanding Han Lin's system, I didn't bother to explain it this time.

Whatever Han Lin does, shake the pot.

......

"Your Majesty?"

"Your Majesty?"

Seeing Han Lin's stunned look,

Guan Zhong shouted several times in a row, and Han Lin came back to his senses.

"Ahem."

"The prime minister is reasonable, just do what you say."

"In addition, I have something I want to discuss with the prime minister, I plan to send troops to the Western Regions to grab some women from the Western Regions back, you see this matter......."

Guan Zhong looked at Han Lin helplessly.

I just said it for a long time, and you didn't listen to a word.

I said to find a way to open up the trade routes in the Western Regions.

It's better for you to think about sending troops over to plunder.

Come on

There is also a Zhao State in the middle.

"Your Majesty......"

"Huh?"

"Do you want to think about sending troops? There is also Zhao Guo in the middle. ”

"Do you think I want to do that? How else can I ask you, it's all forced by the system. ”

In front of Guan Zhong,

There is really no need to hide the system.

After all, others are called by the system.

After hearing the explanation,

Guan Zhong also had a look of sudden realization.

No wonder.

But to understand it, this task is still outrageous.

"System, is there a time limit for this task?"

Han Lin, who had no clue, asked the system in his heart.

【Ding! 】

[There is no time limit, the host can do it whenever it wants.] 】

Han Lin: "......"

There's no time limit, you said it earlier.

Worry about me in vain.

"Alright, don't think about it."

Looking at Guan Zhong's appearance of racking his brains, Han Lin waved his hand and said, "I'll talk about this matter later, what did you just say about trade?" ”

Guan Zhong can only repeat what he just narrated.

To put it simply,

It is to start trade with the Western Regions.

Complementarity.

Sell tea, porcelain, silk and other goods of Qi to the Western Regions.

Then bring back war horses, orchids, spices, raisins, and so on from the Western Regions.

merely

Because there is a relationship between Zhao and Guo in the middle.

According to Guan Zhong's idea, it was to send personnel to Zhao State to establish a chamber of commerce.

Then, in the name of the merchants of Zhao State, he traded with the Western Regions.

Then, through other channels, the goods from trade were sent to the Qi country.

"Hmmm......"

"That's a good idea."

This time, Han Lin was not distracted.

"Then do as you say."

After saying that,

Han Lin, who couldn't wait for a long time, immediately hugged Hu Ji and went up to the second floor.

Then began the torture of orchids to extract confessions.

After all, he is a person from the Western Regions,

Those who are not of my race will have different hearts.

As the emperor, Han Lin must prevent this alien race from harming the interests of the Qi State.

And then......

After Han Lin's 'interrogation and torture' all night, Hu Ji tearfully admitted that she was really a spy.

Han Lin: ???

What the hell are you?

"Someone!"

"Arrest all the people in that caravan and put them in prison and torture them!"

......

(I went to my grandmother's house for dinner at noon, and the update was a little late, thinking about the flag that was just set up yesterday, my brain hurts.) ）
