Daqin: When I return from sea, I will offer you a map of the world

Chapter 382 The year is over and the New Year is here!

"it is good!"

Zhang Liang was a smart man and realized that this was the maximum tolerance limit of Li Zuoche.

After all, Li Zuoche's grandfather was Li Mu, and Li Mu had always taken fighting against the Xiongnu Donghu as his lifelong mission, pacifying border troubles, and expanding his territory thousands of miles away. It was impossible for such a person to invite him to contact King Donghu to invade from the old land of Zhao.

What's more, Li Zuoche's feelings for Zhao are different from Zhang Liang's feelings for South Korea.

Zhang Liang regards South Korea as his home, while Li Zuoche regards Zhao Guo, which is unclear.

Fortunately, Li Zuoche had fled to Donghu. The king of Donghu respected Li Mu's reputation and respected Li Zuoche very much. He asked Li Zuoche to advise him. During this period, Donghu's national power became strong, and the Yueshi and Xiongnu who had once suppressed were forced to Together, it was during this period that the Huns began to move southward after they could no longer survive in the north. They gradually had more intense friction with the Qin Dynasty, and this is how the story of Meng Tian attacking the Huns from the north came about.

Li Mu can no longer be simply measured by hatred for the grassland people.

To put it simply, the nomads were afraid of being killed by Li Mu.

Therefore, Li Zuoche was able to live happily on the grassland simply by virtue of his status as a descendant of Li Mu. Whether he went to Donghu, Yuezhi or Xiongnu, he would be treated as a guest.

Not to mention that Li Zuoche proved his ability and helped Donghu dominate for a while. With Li Zuoche's letter, Zhang Liang could walk freely.

When Li Zuoche left Donghu and returned to Daijun, the King of Donghu tried every means to persuade him to stay. The Donghu nobles kneeled him back to Daijun, and because Li Zuoche lived in Daijun, neither the Xiongnu nor the Donghu nor the Yuezhi bothered him. Around Daijun, even if there were occasional small tribe invasions, as long as Li Zuoche showed up, the invading tribe would kneel in front of him and state their guilt to him.

Li Zuoche was to Donghu no less than Zhuge Liang was to Shu Han.

The matter of entering the grassland has basically been decided by now.

Li Zuoche is not easy to fool, but people on the grassland are not that smart. Zhang Liang is confident that he can convince Dong Hu.

"In this case, I will resign!"

Zhang Liang nodded, put away the letter written by Li Zuoche and prepared to leave.

Li Zuoche sat there holding the letter written by Master Jie and was silent for a moment before suddenly speaking.

"Master, how are you doing now?"

Hearing the sound, Zhang Liang was silent for a moment and said: "You should know that the King of Qin massacred the clan, and the clan's bloodline was almost exhausted. Young Master Ji survived because of his remote bloodline, but he was also imprisoned in a place and was not allowed to go out. There were patrols outside the door. The soldiers, their bows and arrows were pointed at Gongzi Jie's mansion, their hands were on their swords at any time, and everyone who came and went from the mansion had to ask questions, and even the servants who changed the residence and served could not make the decision.

Young Master Jie didn't even dare to say a word, and he had to be even more cautious in his actions. He was like a frightened bird, and he often got up at night without sleeping.

Gongzijie has not even given birth to an heir until now, and the bloodline of the Zhao Kingdom is about to be cut off. Gongzijie’s sister, the princess of the Zhao Kingdom, is now in her 30s, but so far she has not married and can only be locked up. in it.

When I went to see Mr. Ji, I had to transform into a servant to get in..." Zhang Liang glanced at Li Zuoche, who was kneeling in front of the table and told Mr. Ji's current situation softly.

There is some truth in it, but there is also some artistic processing.

After all, Gongzijie was only a remote bloodline, and to be honest, he was not qualified to touch the First Emperor of China.

But Zhang Liang knew what he should say to Li Zuoche.

After all, Li Zuoche is a descendant of Li Mu.

Li Mu's reputation in the Zhao State was too great, especially after Li Mu was slandered and killed by the Great Qin War God Guo Kai, the Zhao State was shattered in an instant. The value of the Qin State's achievements that Li Mu could not swallow up continued to rise, and it cannot be surpassed so far.

Before Li Mu died, he had never lost to Qin.

So after Li Mu died, Zhao people missed Li Mu even more.

Li Zuoche is Li Mu's grandson. Let's not mention how many talents Li Zuoche inherited from Li Mu. Just his status as Li Mu's direct grandson means too much.

Zhao people, Huns, Yueshi, and Donghu will all recognize his identity.

However, Li Mu didn't seem to show any anger at Zhang Liang's jealousy. He just nodded after a moment of silence and said, "I understand. If you have the opportunity to visit the young master again, please send my regards to the young master on my behalf."

Zhang Liang nodded. Naturally, he would not rely on a few words of rhetoric to completely pull Li Zuoche to his side. After agreeing to Li Zuoche's request, Zhang Liang left.

And the other side...

In the mansion of one of the few remaining bloodline princes in the Zhao Kingdom...

Young Master Ji knelt down and sat in front of the desk, frowning as he looked at his elder sister who was about to grow old in front of him.

"The State of Qin issued an order to move the king's mausoleum, and Heibingtai acted cruelly. Now there are complaints from all over the world. The people of the world can no longer stand the greed and cruelty of King Qin. Zhang Liang, the descendant of the Korean Prime Minister, invited me to come and do it. I plan to betroth you to Li Zuoche, what do you think?" Young Master Jie asked.

Zhao Ying did not look at her brother, but lowered her head and said slowly: "Can brother step out of this mansion now?"

"I will find a way to send you out." Young Master Jie said.

"Brother, are you ready for the Zhao clan to be slaughtered and the ancestors to have no more respect for you?" Zhao Ying asked again.

Young Master Ji frowned...

"What do you mean by that?"

"Don't you understand? From the beginning to the end, King Qin never paid attention to these people. Not to mention how far my brother's bloodline has become, the people of Zhao may not agree with my brother's bloodline. Even if my brother wins over Li Zuo, Che, but Li Zuoche is only the grandson of Lord Wu An, not Lord Wu An... In the past, Lord Wu An was still destroyed in the Zhao Kingdom, but now his brother is tired of it, so he wants to act like this?
So what did Zhang Liang say that made his brother so willing to risk his own life and entrust the lives of his family and ancestors to do such a lifeless thing? "

Young Master frowned.

Zhao Ying, a younger sister from the same mother, always had her own opinions. When she was young, she didn't like poetry, books, etiquette and music, but loved to imitate the knight-errant style. When she grew up, she was unwilling to follow her own wishes and get married, and she always spoke with a tinge. It feels like everyone is drunk and I am alone, which is very uncomfortable, especially when Young Master Ji is really not that smart.

Therefore, the relationship between him and his sister is not very deep. At best, they can only be regarded as dependent on each other.

"Female people have short-term opinions..." Young Master shook his head.

"All the clans in the world were killed by the King of Qin. The people of the world have suffered from Qin for a long time. Now the King of Qin has issued an order to move the royal mausoleum. He wants to devour the world. Such a greedy person who is greedy for power and profit. How can there be peace? In the past, people were just afraid of his power, but now everyone is afraid of him. When it comes to life and death, can An not risk his life?

The man was furious, and blood spattered five steps!
How can King Qin bear the anger of the people in the world? "

Zhao Ying glanced strangely at her brother, who was talking about the Zhao clan with his righteous words, but hesitated to speak.

To be honest, he felt that his brother was not very sober.

Clan...when did you become a clan?

Just kidding, it wasn't because all the direct lineage was killed that they were able to move into the ancestral temple.

Return the anger of the people of the world... King Qin has just reduced corvees and taxes, where will the people of the world come from?However, Zhao Ying was used to her brother's self-righteousness and knew that she could not argue with her brother. After all, her brother stood on the moral high ground, so in the end she just curled her lips.

"I want to marry you, but I'm too lazy to go..."

After that, Zhao Ying left to herself.

Although the King of Qin didn't care much about this young master with a remote bloodline, he was still under certain surveillance.

Young Master Jie dared to blatantly betroth his sister to Li Zuoche today, and he would die unexpectedly tomorrow.

So the so-called marriage is nothing more than sending Zhao Ying there secretly.

Since he had to act in secret, Gongziji didn't dare not consider Zhao Ying's opinion.

Otherwise, given Gongzijie's character, he would not have considered his sister's opinion and would have packaged it up and sent it away.

The young master was so angry when he saw his sister leaving to take care of herself that he kicked over the table in front of him.

I can't control it, I can't control it at all...

It is said that an eldest brother is like a father, but Zhao Jie, the elder brother, is really humble.

At that time, the Kingdom of Zhao had not yet been destroyed, and Zhao Jie was not yet the son of the prince. At that time, Zhao Jie planned to arrange the marriage for his sister. Zhao Ying ran away and disappeared for three years...

Now?He dared to be tough. Zhao Jie was really afraid that his sister would kill her relatives and report her decisively.

Zhao Jie restrained his emotions and rubbed his brows fiercely...

Take your time, you can only take your time.

His sister is in her 30s... Li Zuoche is just the right age, and he is a descendant of Li Mu. Zhao Ji believes that his sister will accept such an outstanding person if he spends some time.

Time passed bit by bit, and Zhao Jie devoted himself to persuading his sister to marry Li Zuoche.

And everything in the world is proceeding in an orderly manner.

With the getting colder weather and falling snow, the old year has come to an end and the new year has officially arrived.

The overwhelming snow covered the entire Xianyang City, and there were no other pedestrians on the official road except the nobles who were forced to move.

Zhang Liang entered Donghu from Daijun...

The craftsmanship bureau that Zhao Si had longed for was finally officially established. Under the leadership of Liu Pi, a large number of Mohist disciples settled in the craftsmanship bureau.

Nowadays, Nongjia and Mohism, these two schools of thought that are somewhat out of date or too advanced and will eventually be crushed by the old era, have gained a glimmer of hope under Zhao Si's deliberate protection.

The negotiations between Shusun Tong and Ma Ha, the envoy of Ye Tiaoguo, were finally roughly finalized.

The two sides decided on the truce and establishment of diplomatic relations.

Daqin leased a total of five ports and an offshore island from Ye Tiaoguo on a five-year basis. The annual lease fee was 30 taels of silver. Because Ye Tiaoguo was good at provoking border conflicts, the first five-year lease was The amount was determined to be 10 taels of silver at Shusuntong's insistence.

At the same time, the two sides finalized mutual trade regulations, and naturally there will be no tariffs... Da Qin does not charge Ye Tiaoguo's tariffs, and Ye Tiaoguo does not charge Da Qin's tariffs.

Objectively speaking, in this era when sea trade is almost non-existent, the concept of tariffs is also approximately zero.

Anyway, it was Da Qin that was dumping goods to Ye Tiaoguo. Since both sides did not charge tariffs, Da Qin would definitely have an advantage.

At the same time, as an apology for provoking border quarrels, Ye Tiaoguo's envoy Maha donated a total of about 50 taels of silver to Great Qin. Great Qin rewarded Ye Tiaoguo with a large number of silk, porcelain, lacquerware, and tea. .

Generally speaking, the port lease to Daqin in the previous five years was completely equivalent to free prostitution.

As for the reward of silk, porcelain, lacquerware and tea, it was of course to open up the market of Ye Tiaoguo and prepare for the dumping of goods by Da Qin.

After the conditions have been agreed upon and the contract has been drawn up, Ye Tiaoguo's envoy only needs to wait for the Great Court Meeting after the Chinese New Year to pay homage to the First Emperor before he can sign the treaty between the two countries with his seal.

As for whether to regard Da Qin as the master, that is secondary. The suzerain system is good, but it depends on the distance. At present, Da Qin's national power cannot involve Ye Tiao Kingdom on a large scale, and it makes no sense to force Ye Tiao Kingdom to recognize its master.

When it comes to business matters, Zhao Si only recognizes profit.

"What a wonderful year..."

Zhao Si nestled next to the stove, Yu Ji added water for him to make tea, and the maid played music. Amber shook her big head with a head of snowflakes and nestled at Zhao Si's feet, bouncing her head to the music.

"Husband, my father has sent a message and has arrived in Guanzhong. He is about to choose a house. I want to visit him." Yu Ji ignored Zhao Si's emotion and whispered softly.

"Go on, go on. You go and find the way first. After you settle down, I will visit you." Zhao Si waved his hand.

The Yu family and the Xiang family were the most decisive in executing the order to move the royal mausoleum.

One is that his daughter married Zhao Si as a concubine, and the other was that his rebellion failed and the family struggle ended with Xiang Bo winning.

There was heavy snow this year, and other nobles who moved were mostly hindered by it. They walked calmly and unhurriedly, as if they were arriving in Guanzhong within the six-month deadline set by the First Emperor. However, the Xiang family and the Yu family were not afraid of the wind and snow. , traveled day and night, just after the New Year, I ran from the distant Chudi to Guanzhong under heavy snow.

If we don't talk about why the reputation of the Xiang family and the Yu family has plummeted, the reputation of these two families is almost ruined now.

King Qin has been talking about it for six months, why did you rush over to show it to someone in half the time?I'm rushing to be a dog.

It's a pity that no matter how much you scold, you can't change the status quo. It will come when it should come. Death is guaranteed within six months, and Heibingtai will keep an eye on whoever fails to come overdue.

Everyone could only brave the wind and snow and rush on their way crying for their father and mother.

Of course, due to the implementation of the order to move the royal mausoleum and the fierceness of the Black Ice Platform, the good reputation of the Qin State and even Qin Shi Huang for reducing corvees and taxes suddenly deteriorated.

Although the relocation of nobles does benefit local people, there is no Internet in this era, and ordinary people have no channels to express their voices. Public opinion has never had anything to do with ordinary people. At most, it is a tool to increase public opinion.

Therefore, for a while, the world was turbulent, and the current situation of public opinion was even more dangerous than the strange rocks dropped from the sky in previous years.

Zhao Si made some targeted measures, such as notifying Chen Sheng, Wu Guang and others to arrest Canghaijun on the bank of the East China Sea, and to search for Zhang Liang who was assassinated by Bolangsha...

If nothing else happens, Mr. Canghai might have been arrested.
