Fu Qin starts with a plan

Chapter 495 Unstable Factors Before Marriage
Speaking of the country of Yingdu, the first thing that comes to mind is Buddhism.

The next thing that comes to mind is the lizard, no, curry.

But Zhao Kun was not interested in curry, but the introduction of Buddhism made him a little wary.

But Aminu is not Tang Xuanzang, so he probably would not be interested in Buddhism.

Because he only cares about money.

After pondering for a while, Zhao Kun asked Aminu, "When are you going to leave?"

Aminu ate his snacks and said to Zhao Kun, "I'm leaving tomorrow. I'm here today to say goodbye to you. Before I leave, you have to give me delicious snacks, which symbolizes our friendship." .”

"I'll give you delicious snacks, but aren't you doing business with the Western Regions and the Qin Kingdom? Why did you go to the Peacock Kingdom?"

"I can't help it either!"

Aminu said helplessly: "Recently, I have traveled back and forth between the Western Regions and the Qin Kingdom twice, and I have seen many merchants from the Western Regions. These people bring goods to the Western Regions, and my business will not be easy to do, so I will go further to the Peacock Kingdom. Only in this way can my porcelain be sold at a good price!"

Hearing this, Zhao Kun finally understood what Aminu was thinking.

This guy said before that he wanted to find valuable cash crops for him and exchange them with porcelain. This may not be the main thing, what he wants is to do a monopoly business.

As the countries of the Western Regions continued to send envoys to the Qin State, businessmen from the Western Regions also came to the Qin State one after another, and Aminu's caravan naturally lost its advantage.

After all, in the current state of Qin, porcelain can be obtained anywhere, and those merchants from the Western Regions who bring porcelain back to the Western Regions will inevitably face competition, and even small profits but quick turnover.

In order to continue to maintain the monopoly, Aminu naturally has to open up new markets.

This also indirectly contributed to the trade between the Central Plains and the Peacock Kingdom.

For Qin, this is naturally a good thing.

So Zhao Kun continued: "The Peacock Kingdom is relatively far away. Even if you want to go there, you have to rest before going. Don't hurry!"

"do not worry!"

Aminu waved his hand and said: "If my caravan can come to the Central Plains from the Western Regions, it can go from the Central Plains to the Peacock Kingdom. I can also sell the things in the Central Plains to the Peacock Kingdom!"

Speaking of this, he paused, and then said: "I can also sell things from the Peacock Kingdom to the Central Plains, as long as you can exchange them with me for porcelain!"

"no problem."

Zhao Kun nodded.

This transaction method was originally an agreement between him and Aminu, but it is not yet determined what commodity to exchange for porcelain.

Ever since the Dawan Kingdom knew that Qin State needed hard-earned horses, people would send horses to Qin State every once in a while.

Aminu and Zhao Kun's exchange of porcelain horses also failed one after another.

But now that Aminu is going to the Peacock Kingdom, Zhao Kun wonders what the Peacock Kingdom has that can bring huge benefits.

In other words, what does the Central Plains need from the Peacock Kingdom.

After pondering for a long time, Zhao Kun finally got the answer.

He asked Aminu, "Have you ever heard of cotton?"

"cotton?"

Aminu thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "I've never heard of this kind of flower, are you looking for this kind of thing?"

"Cotton is not a flower for viewing, but a cash crop that can be used for weaving!"

In fact, as early as a few years ago, Zhao Kun got cotton seeds, but now the cotton is not as good as one season.

He wanted to use the cotton of this era to improve varieties.

According to historical records, the cultivation of cotton in the Central Plains did not begin to take shape until the Ming Dynasty.

In other words, people put on cotton clothes more than 1000 years later.

Although the Qin State already had clothes made of cotton cloth, the work of improving the variety still needed to be done.

As for the fact that Yingdu has cotton, we have to start with the kapok cassock.

It is said that during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, an eminent monk Bodhidharma came to Luoyang by sea, and later promoted Buddhism and created Zen.

Patriarch Bodhidharma accepted many disciples during his lifetime, and after his death, he left a kapok cassock, which was regarded as a sacred object of Buddhism.

According to the research of later scholars, this kapok cassock is a cassock woven from cotton.

Zhao Kun also learned about it from watching TV in his previous life.As for whether Yingdu has cotton, he still doesn't know, so he can only wait for Aminu to find it.

However, Aminu seemed unwilling, so he asked Zhao Kun suspiciously: "Your Daqin silk is very popular in the Western Regions, why do you use other things for weaving?"

"Don't worry about this, as long as you can bring cotton seeds, I will exchange porcelain with you!"

"This"

Aminu couldn't understand the benefits of cotton, and still looked at Zhao Kun with some puzzlement: "This business is not worthwhile. Silk is the best material for clothing, and cotton is not as good as it."

Zhao Kun understood Aminu's character, so he said straightforwardly: "Just say whether to change or not!"

"Change!"

Aminu gritted his teeth, and said vigilantly: "You said this, don't bring it when the time comes, if you don't exchange it with me, then I will lose money."

"Don't worry, as long as you can find it, I will definitely change it with you."

"That's okay."

After finishing his business, Aminu stood up and said, "If I can find it, I will bring it back. I won't say more now. I have to leave tomorrow, so I bid you farewell here."

Zhao Kun asked someone to bring a lot of snacks and sent Aminu outside the door.

He told him: "It's a long way to go to the Peacock Kingdom. If you encounter an accident, remember to save your life. Don't put yourself in danger for some things outside of your body;
You can earn more money if you don’t have money, but you can’t do business if you don’t have people. "

"I know this."

Aminu picked up the bag of snacks and said to Zhao Kun, "Just wait for me. As long as you don't do porcelain business with other people, I, Aminu, will definitely come back alive and continue to do business with you."

"Do not worry."

"I'm leaving."

After speaking, Aminu walked straight out of the hall.

Zhao Kun watched him leave, thinking about the possible dangers on the way to the Peacock Kingdom, and of course he was somewhat looking forward to it.

at the same time.

In the palace study.

Fusu was reviewing the memorial as usual, after all, the cabinet hadn't been formally completed yet.

During this time, he had to personally review the memorial.

At this time, there was a sound from outside the study.

"King Qin, I have something to report."

"Come in."

Fu Su said lightly, and saw that the person who came was wearing a black dress and a mask, looking very mysterious.

This is a person from the Black Ice Terrace, one of the three mysterious forces of the Great Qin Dynasty. Unlike Tie Yingwei, they specialize in collecting intelligence from everywhere.

The visitor knelt on one knee, cupped his hands and said, "King Qin, we have already completed the security work in the city, but recently, many new faces have come here, they are very suspicious!"

"A raw face?"

Fu Su frowned, put down the brush in his hand calmly, and asked, "Do you know who it is?"

"Looking at her clothes and behavior, she looks a bit like a Yin Yang family."

"Yin and Yang family?"

Fusu was startled, this Yin Yang family has always been a very mysterious existence, and there are few records of its strength.

I only heard that this Yin Yang family is very powerful, good at divination and assassination.

When the Seven Kingdoms were fighting for supremacy, they had appeared before, and they seemed to have received orders from the nobles of the Six Kingdoms to assassinate their father.

But it was unsuccessful. Since the six kingdoms were unified by Qin, they disappeared in the mountains and forests again, without a trace.

It wasn't until the Ying Yuanman incident happened that he reappeared.

Fu Su was also very curious about this Yinyang family. According to rumors, the Eastern Emperor Taiyi of the Yinyang family is very mysterious, like a god and a man, it can be regarded as a secret, and he has lived for a long time.

It's an old monster.

The folks also have many opinions about his rumors, but in general, this person is not simple.

Now that the Yin Yang family is showing up in Xianyang, and it's during Zhao Kun's wedding, what do they want to do?

Could it be that he wants to challenge the order of Daqin.

After pondering for a while, Fusu asked again: "Have they done anything recently? Have you found out where they are stationed?"

"Back to King Qin, the Yin Yang family is extremely mysterious, their whereabouts are secretive, and it's difficult for their subordinates to track them down, so they haven't been able to find out where they live!"

The masked man carefully cupped his hands.

After saying that, he paused, and said again: "However, since they came to Xianyang, they haven't made any moves, it seems like a flash in the pan."

"Is it a flash in the pan?"

Fusu frowned slightly, his eyes revealing deep thought.

What is the intention of this yin and yang family?

Did this person who is good at fortune-telling predict that there will be some disasters in Daqin in the near future?
Otherwise, how could they come out to provoke Daqin with their characters?

You must know that although Daqin has just settled down, there is no disaster happening.

Even if they want to make trouble, Zhao Kun is still in Xianyang.
Could it be that their target is Zhao Kun?

impossible!

Zhao Kun is protected by a net, and those members of the net are more powerful than each other, even the Yin Yang family is very difficult to deal with.

After hesitating for a while, Fusu said thoughtfully: "Tell the prince about this, and let him take precautions. On your side, continue to search for their traces and see what they are going to do!"

"Yes, King Qin."

The masked man bowed his hands respectfully, and left the study straight away.

the other side.

In an inn in the south of Xianyang City, a person with Yin-Yang symbols embroidered on the inside of his sleeve robe came to a room on the second floor.

He stood respectfully in front of the door and knocked on the door: "Elder, I have delivered the letter to her."

After the words fell, an old but piercing voice came from the room, which didn't feel like a human voice.

"Well, did anyone notice when you got back?"

"No."

The people in the house were silent for a moment when they heard the words, and then said: "We must be vigilant, especially the black ice platform and the snare net, which should not be underestimated. We must always pay attention, and we must not leak a trace for them to notice."

"Don't worry, elder, I'm just pretending to travel, even if they notice it, they won't know it's me." The person outside the door said confidently.

"In this case, let's go down. Continue to contact people from hundreds of families. The more chess pieces, the better."

"Yes, elder."

After all, there was no sound in the house.

After waiting for a while, the person outside went to another room, changed his face, and walked out again, looking like an old man.

After walking out of the inn, he walked towards the city in one direction.

And when he walked out of the inn, in another tavern, a pair of eyes were looking at the direction he was leaving.

The person beside him looked at that person at the same time and said, "Boss, do you want to follow?"

In the tavern, near the window, the two people on the table were staring at the leaving figure of the old man.

The man called the boss nodded and said, "Follow, let's see where he is going?"

"Oh, I see."

After all, after drinking the wine in the glass, one of them also went downstairs and disguised himself, following behind the old man.

And the people who stayed in the tavern looked at the inn, looked at the sky, and murmured: "It looks like something is going to happen, that woman is actually connected with the Yinyang family, and I don't know what Jiang Tongling will do."

After drinking the wine in the glass, he also turned around and left the tavern, heading towards the palace.

That night!

The sky gradually darkened, and the full moon had already lifted into the sky.

At this moment, Wang Xue's residence is here.

Wang Xue was dressing up, put on a noble white dress, and walked out of the mansion lightly with the support of her servants.

A carriage was already waiting at the door, the groom saw them coming out, he hurriedly drove the carriage over and said respectfully.

"Saint."

Hearing this, Wang Xue glanced at him, walked past lightly, and then boarded the carriage with the help of his servants.

The servant girl followed suit.

Wang Xue, who was sitting in the car, spoke softly.

"Let's go out of town."

"Yes, saint."

Seeing that both of them got into the carriage and hearing Wang Xue's order, the groom straightened up, sat at the front, and began to drive the carriage towards the outside of the city.

The carriage rushed all the way to the south gate, and there were not many people in the alley at night.

The carriage arrived at the south gate without hindrance. The sergeant here saw that the carriage was going out of the city, so he hurriedly stopped him: "The visitor stopped, checked his identity, what's the matter with leaving the city?"

The carriage stopped quickly, and the groom came to the sergeant guarding the city, and said with a respectful smile, "Master, I advise you to let us leave quietly, otherwise the crown prince will blame you, and you will suffer too."

After the words fell, the guard's face changed slightly, and his eyes were fixed on the carriage.

Although it doesn't look luxurious, but looking at it, a familiar feeling suddenly emerges in my mind.

At this time, someone beside him seemed to remember something, and said in horror: "This is the carriage that Commander Jiang rode in when he came back!"

"Commander Jiang?"

The current Jiang Chao is also a household name in Qin State, after all, he is a good friend of the current prince.

These defenders were well-informed, so naturally they didn't dare to ask more questions, so they respectfully moved out of the way and let the carriage pass by.

After the carriage passed by, one of them looked at the carriage going away, cold sweat broke out at some point on his face, and he said in horror: "It is said that Commander Jiang is the leader of the net. Could it be that there is something big going out of the city this time?"

"Could it be the prince sitting in the carriage!"

"Okay, shut up, how can we talk about His Highness the Crown Prince? Besides, His Highness the Crown Prince is about to get married, how could he leave the city!"

"Oh, forget it, forget it."

The carriage that had already left the city ran all the way south. Inside the carriage, Wang Xue raised a corner of the curtain and looked outside the carriage, only to find it was dark.

But under the moonlight, the road can still be seen clearly.

The carriage passed a village along the official road, came to a mountainside, and stopped here.

In the silent surroundings, there was a strange cry from time to time.

At this time, the groom got out of the car and lit a torch.

The fire was shining, and after a while, people in white clothes appeared all around, knelt down on one knee and said to the people in the carriage.

"Subordinates see the saint."

After saying those words, Wang Xue in the carriage opened her eyes, got up and walked out of the carriage, dressed in white clothes like snow, under the moonlight, she looked like the Nine Heavens Xuannv came to the world.

Looking at the crowd calmly, he asked lightly, "Where's Xiaoqing?"

"Saint, Xiaoqing is here."

Among the white-clothed people around, a woman hurriedly raised her head when she heard the words.

Wang Xue glanced at her, waved her hand and said, "Let's go, lead the way."

　Ask for recommendation tickets, monthly tickets, and subscriptions.
