The six countries sent me as a spy, and the contact person was Qin Shihuang

Chapter 236 Maodun, do you want the pot or not?

Ying Zheng was even happier when he found out. He was also considering this issue, but because Jiang Bai was more interested in Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, he didn't say much.

Now, Jiang Bai himself is already considering these issues, so there is nothing to worry about.

"Think about how we can get a large number of cattle and horses from the grassland." Ying Zheng tested Fusu.

Fusu immediately said: "Beat him!"

"It's my son's temper, but this is not the way to govern the country. Let's go ask the Taifu. As expected, he should know what kind of goods he can trade with Maodun." Ying Zheng said.

When Fusu went back and asked, he only said that he wanted to obtain it through war.

Jiang Bai was pinching Zhao Ji's leg. When he saw Fu Su sincerely asking for advice, he said, "The emperor must have seen the benefits of war, but this is not enough."

"Yes, my father's intention is to use trading," Fusu said, "but there are only a few of us Central Plains people who can trade with the grassland peoples, so we cannot use them for trading."

"That's why you are stupid!" Zhao Ji scolded, "You only thought that the Huns bought the iron pots and might forge weapons. You never thought that our weapons would be updated and stronger than their armors and stronger than their swords." Sharper and with a longer range than their crossbows? Don't just think about imprisoning others. If you don't move forward, you will never be able to escape the fate and pattern of being beaten."

upgrade?

But that would also allow the Huns to obtain a large amount of iron weapons.

"Can't they get it if you don't sell it to them?" Jiang Bai scolded, "Didn't the remnants of the Six Kingdoms sell a large amount of iron to the Huns? The value they sold was greater and the price was higher. Instead of letting them sell it secretly , why don’t we use low prices and things we don’t despise in exchange for things we urgently need.”

"And if their weapons are concentrated to a certain extent, they will definitely come to fight. We will have a greater reason to use new weapons to clean up the grasslands. This is justifiable and can also force the poor and the poor in the grasslands. Standing on the opposite side, we can also win the hearts and minds of the grassland people." Zhao Ji taught, "When a general starts to think about how to kill the enemy as much as possible, we should praise him with the greatest sincerity. But an emperor only thinks about how to kill the enemy as much as possible. , then he is not an excellent emperor. The wisdom of an emperor is not only to destroy the enemy, but also to weaken the enemy, strengthen himself, and turn the enemy into one of his own."

Fusu kowtowed and thanked him.

This is the way to be a wise king or even a holy king.

When he went to see Ying Zheng again, Fusu got Ying Zheng's recognition and praise.

"What the Queen Mother and the Tutor taught you was the true Tao, not the art taught by those literati. As an emperor, you must not understand the wonderful use of art, but if you only know how to control talents with power, the talents will have to be alienated from you and even be alienated from you. Stand on the opposite side. Only by using the great road to restrain human nature can talents contribute their wisdom and strength to you." Ying Zheng ordered, "Deploy a group of iron cauldrons and have the transport troops quickly send them to the Great Wall Corps. Meng Tian knows how Doing business with the Huns.”

"Father, why can't we do business with King Youxian?" Fusu suggested inferences.

Ying Zheng was delighted: "Oh? Tell me in detail!"

Fusu believed that it was entirely possible to contact King Youxian's tribe and trade a batch of horses with the Huns in a pig iron cauldron that could not be used as a pot. King Youxian could not refuse such a good offer under the premise that Da Qin did not want horses.

In addition, some of the extra grain from Da Qin can also be used to trade with the Huns. "The Huns are divided into several large tribes, and there are hundreds of small tribes scattered in the grassland. We can trade with these small tribes. Once they live a good life, the large tribes will definitely rob them, which will also intensify the conflicts within the grassland. ." Fusu said, "If Mao Dun knows about it, he will definitely think of trading with us directly. This can not only reduce his losses, but also control the resources in his own hands. And we only need to reduce our support to the tribes. We must be given better trade conditions, so the initiative is in our hands."

Ying Zheng was overjoyed and immediately asked Fu Su to work with the Shaofu to handle it.

This incident aroused Yu Ziqi's opposition and dissatisfaction.

"If we sell the iron cauldron to the grassland people, they will make more weapons. But if we use it to make a new iron pot and sell it to them, we will use fewer resources, and the iron pot will be more valuable." Yu Ziqi immediately asked to see Fusu and refuted him in front of Fusu.

Fusu was puzzled. If the value was higher, wouldn't the processing procedure be more troublesome?

"Sir, the processing procedure is more troublesome. It is to train our craftsmen, why should we reject it? Wouldn't it be good to use such a good opportunity to strengthen the blacksmith skills of Da Qin?" Yu Ziqi said, "Besides, I tried the iron cauldron. Of course, the few kilograms of iron that can be smelted into mature iron can be widely used by the Huns in making weapons. However, because it is wrought iron and the Huns' smelting technology is extremely poor, it is difficult for them to conduct secondary mature smelting. Their weapons I can only stop at the hardness and flexibility of the iron pot, isn’t that a good thing?”

"Besides, if the iron pot is sold to the prairie people, and Mao Dun wants to take it away and build weapons, what will the prairie people do? They can only buy it from us again. When we sell it to them again, the price will not be what it is today." Li Gongshunkou said, "The cost of living of the Huns is gradually increasing, but our army maintains a combat advantage over them. When they repeatedly lose battles, they will resent the nobles on the grassland. In the long run, this will help us sow discord. We Encourage farmers to rise up against incorrect government demands, why can’t the poor Xiongnu rise up against the oppression of the nobles?”

Fusu was ecstatic. This time he had learned some real skills.

Li Gong, whom he didn't pay much attention to at first, actually had such profound insights and vision, which was beyond his expectation.

So how about letting Yu Ziqi take charge of this matter?

"I'm not going. If I don't practice quickly, I will be beaten to death by that little girl." Yu Ziqi cursed.

Fusu smiled.

Who should I find?

"Idiot!" Fusu was scolded when he went to find Jiang Bai. Jiang Bai asked, "Do you still remember that there is a Wushi?"

Fusu was at a loss.

Jiang Bai was surprised that Wushi should not be a blank slate now.

The court doesn't know this person?
"Husband, you mean, Wushiluo from Anding County?" Zhao Ji put away her long legs and said in surprise, "This is a strange woman who is no less beautiful than Huaiqing in Ba County. I have only heard people say that the beauty of the country and the city are not enough to describe it. , the wealth can be described as a valley, is there really such a strange person?"

Huaiqing?
Ba Qing?

Or call it Widow Qing?
Also, is Wu Shiluo a woman?
Jiang Bai remembered that there were two people in "Looking for Love", but the widow Qing was indeed a woman, and wasn't Wu Shiluo a middle-aged uncle?
