Fu Qin starts with a plan

Chapter 452 Starting a Newspaper Office in the Western Regions

The carnival after the victory lasted for three days and three nights. The first emperor not only rewarded the three armies, but also reduced the taxes of the border people for five years.

In other words, the outcome of this war is happy for all.

The turmoil in the Qin State made the people of Daqin see no hope.

Now, after the turmoil, it is like a rainbow after the storm, everything is so beautiful.

No one scolded Shi Huangdi as a tyrant anymore, Daqin newspapers were circulated in teahouses, and even though most of the people were illiterate, it still couldn't stop them from sharing their joy.

By the early morning of the fourth day, on the streets of Yunzhong County, it was rare to see people with depressed faces.

However, because the Xiongnu had a lot of spoils pouring into Yunzhong County, the people of Yunzhong County also became busy.

And the courtyard located on the west side of Yunzhong County's county town is a place that the common people have never thought of. It is hidden behind the heavy traffic.

In the courtyard, there are people from the Western Regions, Donghu people, and Dawan people with high nose bridges.

Even not long ago, it was the temporary station of envoys from Wuhuan and Xianbei.

However, after the envoys from Wuhuan and Xianbei left, another group of foreigners came here.

Since they came, the nearby neighbors have often complained about the dirt and dirt here.

The people in the Neishi Mansion received reports from the masses and quickly sent people to clean it up. After all, international friends don't care about hygiene, and our own people have to love cleanliness.

unfortunately
After each cleanup, those international friends would come back, but in desperation, the people in the Naishi Palace simply ignored them.

They don't believe that international friends are really not afraid of mess.

However, reality slapped them in the face.

So much so that the people from the Naishi Mansion temporarily relocated the nearby neighbors, leaving these international friends alone on this street.

Aminu's caravan lived here.

The sun was shining, and the foreigners sleeping in the yard got up one after another and were cleaning the furs they had spread on the ground.

Aminu, who was sleeping in the room, opened the door, looked up at the sun, and then walked to the yard, making everyone stop.

Everyone looked at him curiously.

The difference from before is that today's Aminu is dressed very gorgeously. In addition to the typical Qin costume, there are also accessories, such as jade pendants and hairpins.

This kind of dress is no different from that of the nobles of Qin.

But Aminu was short in stature, and the Qin suit he was wearing was obviously inappropriate, and he didn't look extravagant at all.

Moreover, such a luxurious Qin suit appeared in a dirty and messy yard, which seemed incongruous no matter what.

A tribe looked at Aminu enviously, and asked him curiously: "Aminu, why are you dressed like this today?"

Hearing the question, Aminu proudly raised his chin.

The reason why he made everyone stop was to let everyone appreciate his Qin suit and envy him for having it.

When everyone showed envious expressions, he said proudly: "This is the latest costume of Qin State!"

"Is it the clothes of the nobles of the Qin people?" another clansman asked.

"Of course!"

Aminu nodded with a smile, then touched the jade pendant around his waist, and said with a smile: "I'm going to meet an important person today, so I have to dress decently!"

Hearing this, the clansmen suddenly realized, and immediately showed expressions of approval.

They are all businessmen, so naturally you have to dress decently when talking about business, otherwise people will think you are rude, which may lead to the collapse of business talks.

Although they were envious of Aminu's clothes, no Aminu could speak Qin language, so Aminu was in charge of negotiating business in the Central Plains.

"Anyone of you want to come with me?"

"Can we go too?"

Someone asked back in surprise, then looked at each other, and immediately threw away the fur that was about to be trimmed in their hands, scrambling to go.

This also includes Aminu's uncle Akuru.

In the concept of ancient foreigners, there is seldom the saying of respecting the elderly.

Although Akulu is the leader of the caravan in name, since Aminu resold porcelain and made everyone earn money, Aminu has the final say on all matters of the caravan.

At this moment, Akuru stepped forward and asked Aminu, "Are you going to the county capital?"

Aminu showed a proud expression; "It's Aminu's good friend, the residence of His Royal Highness Prince Qin!"

Hearing this, everyone became more active.

Because of the great victory against the Huns, Aminu also contributed, so he rewarded Aminu with a lot of delicious food, and Aminu distributed part of it to the tribe.

Especially the taste of sauced beef makes them dream about it day and night.

Seeing how the clansmen scrambled to be the first, Aminu became even more proud.

He felt that the reason why the clansmen received the hospitality from Prince Daqin was because of his friendship with Prince Daqin, which made him feel a lot of face.

Thinking about it now, he felt that he should thank that General Han Xin.

Because Han Xin pulled him to attack the Huns, and now the Huns are destroyed, he also has the credit, Zhao Kun pays more attention to him.

Of course, Zhao Kun paid attention to Aminu, and part of the reason why he sold newspapers in his caravan.

Aminu thought for a moment, then said loudly: "If you can understand Qin Yu, follow me, if you don't understand, stay here!"

As soon as this remark came out, many clansmen showed disappointed expressions.

Aminu smiled and waved his hands and said: "Don't be sad, Prince Daqin is Aminu's friend, he will let me bring back the sauced beef for you!"

"Hahaha! Aminu is so nice!"

"No, it's Aminu's friend!"

Aminu corrected the clansmen, and the clansmen laughed, they didn't care who was better, as long as there was beef with sauce to eat.

"We are leaving, don't eat, go to the county capital to eat!"

After saying this, Aminu left the house with a few clansmen who could speak Qin language.

They set off in an ox cart and discussed business on the way.

The people of the tribe like Yunzhong County, because there is no restriction of Xianyang here, and you can see many foreigners, so you are not so lonely.

Qin is getting better and better, which makes them very envious, and they also hope that their country will get better and better.

But Aminu told them it was impossible.

Because their country does not have a prince like Zhao Kun.

Ever since the Xiongnu plundered the Western Regions, the Dawan Kingdom, as well as other countries in the Western Regions, have become frightened birds, without ambitions for development, and can only linger on.

The clansmen knew that Prince Daqin was very powerful, so they didn't refute Aminu's words.

After coming to Cloud City this time, Aminu heard a lot about Zhao Kun.

He knew that Zhao Kun was getting better and better, and even learned to use his relationship with Zhao Kun.

A few days ago, someone from the Neishi Mansion went to the miscellaneous courtyard to make trouble. He mentioned Zhao Kun's name, and the people from the Neishi Mansion immediately became more polite.

This made the clansmen admire Aminu so much.

And Aminu is even more proud of his friendship with Zhao Kun.

With this in mind, they arrived at the county capital.

The military and political power in Yunzhong County is in the hands of the Jiuyuan shogunate. Since Li Xin took over the 30 Qin army in Jiuyuan, Yunzhong and Jiuyuan's military affairs have been taken care of by him.

And the county guard's mansion became Li Xin's mansion.

However, since Ying Zheng and Zhao Kun came to Yunzhong County, he moved out of the Yunzhong County mansion and lived in Jiuyuan County.

Because the distance between the two counties is not very far, it did not delay the military situation.

When Zhou Kui brought Aminu and others into the courtyard of the mansion, Aminu's clan breathed a sigh of relief.

Aminu liked this noodle boy very much, because he was very polite to Aminu's people, and when he learned that they hadn't had breakfast, he immediately arranged for people in the house to make buns and tofu for them.

The clansmen had never eaten steamed stuffed buns, but Guokui Yazi ate a lot. As for tofu nao, they had never heard of it.

So much so that I didn't dare to eat it at first.

Later, after tasting the taste, even the plate was licked clean, which also made the maids in the house shocked.

"Come here so early to ask for money?"

Zhao Kun's voice sounded lazily behind him.

Aminu likes Zhao Kun's voice, because it brought him wealth and status, so when he heard Zhao Kun's voice, he turned around quickly, walked forward enthusiastically, and hugged Zhao Kun: "My friend, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

Such a scene, in the eyes of the people in the mansion, is very rude.

After all, Zhao Kun is the prince of Daqin, with a noble status, how could he be embraced by a foreigner at will.

But Zhao Kun didn't care, just patted Aminu's shoulder with a smile, and said softly: "Sit down and talk!"

"it is good!"

Aminu responded and sat down with Zhao Kun.

Zhao Kun glanced at Aminu's clansmen, then at Aminu again, and asked strangely, "What are you wearing?"

"A brocade robe!"

Aminu replied with a smile: "The latest model from Qin State!"

"I know it's Jinpao!"

Zhao Kun rolled his eyes and said, "I mean, do you know that it's summer outside now, and if you dress like this this season, aren't you afraid of prickly heat?"

"What is prickly heat?"

"It's very hot, very uncomfortable, and there are things growing on my body!"

"That's okay, I'm not afraid of heat, and I'm not afraid of growing things."

Aminu smiled indifferently; "Today I'm here to discuss business with His Highness the Crown Prince, so I have to wear the key points!"

"Uh"

Zhao Kun raised his hand to his forehead, and couldn't help shaking his head and sighing: "You're talking about attending a ceremony. For formal occasions, you have to dress up to attend, right?"

"That's what it means."

"Ha ha."

Zhao Kun smiled: "Then I'm a little sorry, it's not as grand as yours."

"It's okay, His Royal Highness can do as he pleases." Aminu waved his hand.

"You still understand!"

Zhao Kun smiled and said, "Tell me, come to me today, do you have anything else to do?"

"We are going back to the Western Regions."

Aminu's Qin language is not good enough. When he speaks, he uses sign language and looks like he is showing his teeth and claws.

But Zhao Kun could barely understand what he meant, so after he finished speaking, he continued to ask: "Are you going back to the Western Regions with the [-] yuan?"

"No, I want to store him in Qin, and spend it when my family comes to Qin." Aminu shook his head.

Zhao Kun was surprised: "You want to bring your family to Qin?"

"Qin country is better than my country, I want to give them a better life." Aminu said sincerely.

"But."

Zhao Kun said with some doubts: "Aren't you afraid that they won't get used to it? After all, I have lived in my hometown for many years."

"It's not just me who wants to bring my family, but other people in the clan will also bring some of their family, so that they won't be alone if they have companions!"

"I understand what you mean."

Zhao Kun nodded and asked again, "Then when do you plan to leave?"

"Leave before autumn and come back next year."

Aminu replied, and then continued: "Although His Royal Highness promised to give Aminu a reward of [-] yuan, Aminu still has members of his clan, so the business must continue. We are friends, and we have to discuss business."

"Of course."

Zhao Kun looked at Aminu: "You talk first."

"porcelain."

Aminu said seriously: "I haven't finished the porcelain before, this time I want to bring more back to the Western Regions."

"Don't worry about this, I have already prepared it, and it can be taken away at any time."

"That's great, these porcelain can make me a lot of money."

Zhao Kun said with some amusement: "It has nothing to do with me whether you earn more or less. The main thing is our trading method, and we have to follow the previous rules."

"no problem."

Aminu nodded: "You give me the porcelain, and I will give you the golden horse."

"Then it's settled."

"However, there are more."

"Anything else?" Zhao Kun was puzzled.

Aminu glanced at his uncle, and found that his uncle was looking at him, and kept winking.

Having made up his mind, Aminu pretended to be nonchalant and said: "If the prince can show mercy, we can handle all the newspaper business!"

"What do you mean?"

Zhao Kun was taken aback for a moment, as if he didn't understand.

Aminu was a little guilty and didn't dare to look at Zhao Kun, but said flatly: "It's nothing, just transporting newspapers back and forth, the cost is too high, we want to set up a newspaper office in the Western Regions, and you are responsible for delivering the latest news." information."

"You mean to run a newspaper office in the Western Regions?"

"Well, we need workers who make paper, workers who print, and readers who write manuscripts."

Good guy!
that's so special
Zhao Kun thought he heard it wrong, and stood there in a daze, not knowing what to say.

It wasn't until he saw the guilty expression on Aminu's face that he was sure of this guy's ambition.

A few years ago, Aminu had the idea of ​​paper, and now seeing that Qin State wanted to sell newspapers to the countries in the Western Regions, he came up with the idea of ​​a newspaper company.

The layout of the newspaper office is relatively complicated, and there are many technologies involved. If the newspaper is handed over to Aminu, it is equivalent to transferring the technology to him.

Regarding this point, Zhao Kun hesitated.

Although Aminu's proposal is good, it is a bit difficult when it comes to technology.

However, Zhao Kun came up with a new idea.

After pondering for a while, he said to Aminu: "It's a good idea to start a newspaper office, but you can't do it, I have to do it. The Qin Congress sent envoys to visit countries in the Western Regions and established embassies;
The newspaper office is run by people from the embassy, ​​and you are in charge of selling it. How about we split the proceeds fifty-fifty? "

"Why is that?" Aminu asked a little puzzled.

Zhao Kun said solemnly: "It involves state secrets, I can't hand them over to you, but I can also give you benefits, you can be involved in all foreign trade business of Daqin in the future;

However, there is a prerequisite, you must help Daqin sell enough newspapers! "

"This"

Aminu showed hesitation, subconsciously looked at Uncle Akuru, and found that he was also thinking.

Zhao Kun was not in a hurry to let them make a decision, because the line of Aminu was very important to Daqin.

Relying on deceit and coercion cannot last long. Only interests can make both parties win-win cooperation.

After thinking about it for about a quarter of an hour, Aminu seemed to have made some major decision, and nodded solemnly: "Deal!"

"Happy cooperation." Zhao Kun stretched out his hand with a smile.

Although Aminu didn't understand, he stretched out his hand with a smile and said, "It's a happy cooperation."
