Daqin: The poorest prime minister, the first emperor begged me to corrupt

The appearance of Nanzhu made the courtiers and ministers who were just watching the fun couldn't sit still and joined the ranks of bidding.

And this also made the auction completely enter the white-hot stage!
After the pearls, there are jadeites, diamonds, agates, corals and other treasures, each of which dazzled the participants, and the auctions continued one after another.

After the gems are shot, it is the spices of Yuedi.

Agarwood, Sandalwood, Dipterocarpus, Ambergris, Frankincense, Clove, Padlock, Jasmine, Cinnamon, Nutmeg...

Many of these spices are also found outside the region, such as dipterocarp and frankincense.

But there are also foreign trade routes, spices that are not available at this stage, such as agarwood, sandalwood, and ambergris.

"Gentlemen, let's try and hear it."

Ying Bu asked a few staff to walk among the seats under the stage holding a small incense burner with green smoke curling up.

Moments later, the shed was filled with strange fragrances!
"Agarwood and sandalwood, like white sucrose, are special products of Vietnam, but they are extremely rare. They smell calm and calm, elegant and thick, and can be called the fragrance of a gentleman."

"And ambergris is a special product in the southeast sea. This kind of fragrance is no longer a problem of scarcity, but rather rare."

"I don't know, gentlemen here, who knows the legend of ambergris..."

"The Lu family hunted giant whales at sea, and found that giant whales also have various shapes. Among them, there is a round-headed giant whale in the southeast sea area. Only such giant whales have a chance to extract ambergris..."

"These two pieces of ambergris were obtained by the Lu family from the Yuedi sea area!"

Yingbo talked eloquently and introduced the sources of three kinds of strange fragrances.

In particular, the source of the last legendary ambergris made merchants even more anxious.

Later generations of oceanographers believe that although the distribution range of sperm whales is extremely wide, they mainly inhabit the waters between north and south latitudes of 70 degrees.

If you want to hunt sperm whales, it is indeed easier to find them in the sea!
Merchants listened to Yingbo's introduction, and they were already imagining in their hearts that they would sail to Yuedi on a large ship to sell cane sugar, pearls, emeralds...agarwood, sandalwood, etc., rare treasures that are not available in foreign trade routes.

By the way, hunt a few round-headed giant whales at sea, and do that profit-free business!

"These two pieces of ambergris, the Lu family entrusted this auction, one for the auction, and the other for His Majesty the First Emperor..."

As Yingbo said, he picked up a sandalwood box containing a piece of natural ambergris, personally delivered it to the audience, and presented it to Yingzheng.

Ying Zheng was a little dazed. Usually, he wouldn't accept such unnamed offerings from the people.

In that case, it will undoubtedly appear that he, the king, is greedy!

And if you accept it once, there will be countless times later, and everyone will try their best to curry favor with the king.

But... that's normal!
The ambergris in front of him is unusual, but he doesn't have any treasures in his inner treasury!
"The Lu family has a heart, and I will give you a thousand taels of gold."

After Ying Zheng was stunned for a while, he nodded and accepted the offering, and rewarded him with gold.

This handling is very appropriate, it is equivalent to buying ambergris from the Lu family, and it is impossible for future generations to follow suit to curry favor with him!

Zhao Gao stepped forward, carefully took the sandalwood box containing ambergris from Yingbu's hand, and put it away carefully.

Ying Bo returned to the stage, pointed to the remaining piece of ambergris, which was artificially removed and refined, and said to the audience: "The starting price of the remaining piece of ambergris is 500 taels of gold, and the price cannot be increased every time. lower than..."

"5000 taels of gold~!"

"Ten thousand taels of gold~!!!"

Before Yingbo could finish his sentence, there were already merchants who couldn't wait to bid, and they turned up the price.

Of these two pieces of ambergris, one was given to His Majesty the First Emperor, and the value of the remaining piece cannot be measured with money.

If anyone can take a picture of it, they probably won't be willing to use it. They can take it back as a family heirloom and offer it up...

After the auction of various spices, Yingbu asked his staff to bring out rhino horn, elephant teeth, whalebone, and whalebone products, and took advantage of the heat to auction them non-stop.

Among them, the novel whalebone and whalebone products are most sought after by courtiers and ministers.

In particular, plucked string instruments made of whalebone strings, or precious bows made of whalebone strings, attracted civil servants and military generals to frequently call for bids.

And this scene also made the merchants' hearts even more eager!
If you can sail a boat to do business in Yuedi, white cane sugar is not the only thing that is more profitable than foreign treasures. There are too many novel and rare Yuedi treasures, enough for a small businessman to earn back a lifetime of food. huge fortune.

Just like the Lu family who took the lead!

……

Time gradually passed during the auction, and when all the Baiyue treasures were sold out, the sky was already getting dark.

This Baiyue Treasures Auction had several times more participants than the previous one, and the bidding was more intense, so it took longer.

The participants who had been excited for too long, after the auction ended, they felt exhausted from excessive indulgence... their stomachs were even more hungry!
"Gentlemen, the school has prepared the popular sucrose delicacies, let's enjoy it, and watch a Zhengnan Nuo opera."

"If you are in a hurry to leave, you can settle the settlement with me!"

Yingbo finally bowed to the stage, stepped off the stage with ease, and waited for others to settle the settlement.

But seeing that Ying Zheng had no intention of leaving, the participants naturally refused to leave.

After all, as long as you stay, you can have dinner with the first emperor and enjoy the Nuo opera together. Such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, even if you don’t want money, you can’t miss it!
So, the participants should go pee pee, shit shit...

When they unloaded their burdens and returned to the shed, a sumptuous banquet had already been set up, and a piece of whale oil wax illuminated the shed as bright as day.

The auction stage has also been turned into a stage, dozens of whale oil waxes are lined up in front of the stage, and the light is refracted by bronze mirrors, showing every detail of the stage.

After the attendees took their seats under the guidance of the attendants, a sound of gold ringing sounded on the stage, and the Zhengnan Nuo Opera officially started.

Zhengnan opera follows the routine of Zhenghu opera, but it is slightly different. It emphasizes the suffering of the people of Yue, and portrays Yingzheng and Yujiajun as saviors who understand the upside down of the people.

However, this is also true!

The Baiyue countries themselves are still practicing the slave system, and they don’t regard the Yue people as human beings at all. The restoration of the old clans of the Six Kingdoms has aggravated this phenomenon. Forced to fight to the death with the old clans of the Six Kingdoms.

Yingzheng has the foundation laid by Qin Mo, and it is true that he led the army and people of Baiyue to overthrow the nobles of Baiyue who oppressed them, and drove away the restored old clans of the Six Kingdoms...

Of course, as the story of Zhengnan Opera unfolds, it will naturally not copy the Baiyue War!

When Tai Le rehearsed the play, it almost concealed the old families of the Six Kingdoms. During the restoration of Baiyue, it prevented the people of the Six Kingdoms from replacing themselves with the old families of the Six Kingdoms when they watched the play...

Moreover, in order to shape Yingzheng's image, Qin Mo chased Zhang Liang out to sea and landed in Baozhuzhai by accident. The more the people suffer, the more the people mobilize.

Ying Zheng blushed secretly, feeling a little overdone.

The civil and military courtiers who knew the inside story were even more embarrassed.

During the time when Qin Mo disappeared, they lived like walking on thin ice, so they were not suppressed to death by Ying Zheng's low pressure...

However, Ying Zheng and the courtiers were ashamed and sighed, but the other participants who didn't know the inside story took it seriously.

In particular, Tai Le's artistic processing highlights the suffering of the Yue people to the extreme, which is more miserable than the white-haired girl.

In addition, the Nuo opera actors are also dedicated to their work. In order to play the suffering people well, they lost weight and tanned one by one.

When the king of Panyu led the counter-insurgency army, burned, killed and looted along the way, captured a poor child from the Yue people, and hung him on a tree for fun despite begging for mercy, the emotions of the participants were also mobilized.

Under the anger, no one cared about the delicious food in front of them, they all held their chopsticks and gritted their teeth.

Especially Hu Hai and the other little princes and princesses, when they saw the tortured Yue people child, they seemed to be a bit substituting, covering their eyes in fear, wanting to look but not daring to look, trembling all over.

"Oh, I won't watch it anymore, he is so pitiful..."

"This Panyu fat man is too bad."

"How can there be such a big villain in the world?"

The slightly older princes and princesses couldn't help but speak angrily.

These words expressed the aspirations of the participants, so they all nodded in agreement, wishing to rush to the stage and stab the fat actor who played the role of King Panyu to death with chopsticks.

……

The spectators were filled with righteous indignation, and the plot continued to unfold.

When Qin Mo led a rebel army like African refugees to resist Panyu King's rebellious beast army, and Ying Zheng led a large army to descend from the sky and killed Panyu King, Hu Hai, Hu Ting and other little guys immediately lost their fear. Jumped up and cheered.

The backlog of emotions of the spectators was finally vented, and the cheers almost toppled the ceiling.

"Father is so amazing~!!!"

"Good kill, Your Majesty is mighty!"

"I, Great Qin, use the righteous way to attack the innocent, so I should destroy this stupid king."

"Peel off the skin and cramps, and treat the other person..."

Hearing the cheers at the banquet, Ying Zheng could only suppress his shame and smiled reservedly.

The next unfolding of the story is all the way to the end.

Yingzheng led the army and people of Baiyue to overthrow the tyrants of Baiyue and rescue the suffering people of Yue.

Wherever they go, the people of Yue eat pots of pulp to welcome the master!

Then, it was Ying Zheng who guided the Yue people to reclaim the wasteland and farmland, and forcibly turned the barren land into a paradise, so that the Yue people would have enough food and clothing.

This plot emphasizes the richness of the land of Baiyue, the benefits of fishing and salt, the abundance of spices and treasures, and the awesomeness of three crops a year.

The merchants present at the meeting were full of thoughts, and when they saw the end, they couldn't help thinking about whether they should let the children of the clan move to more places, open up fertile land, plant sugar cane and cultivate spices, and make more money through one-stop production and sales. .

The merchants all thought this way... It is conceivable that this Nannuo opera will be performed in various counties and counties of Daqin in the future, and how many people will be bewitched and emigrate to Vietnam...

……

After watching a Nannuo drama, it was already the sky of the moon.

Ying Zheng led a group of princes and princesses, and under the sound of greetings from the participants, they got on the Yuyu car and left the academy.

Outside the academy, the Zhengnan Nuo Opera was performed for the third time. Under the moonlight, the common people watched it with great interest. Perhaps the performance reached the climax of understanding Qi, and deafening cheers erupted from time to time.

"This auction of treasures is very successful, you can go to the martial arts hall to be the right servant shooter tomorrow."

In Yuyu's car, Ying Zheng looked at the cheering people through the car window, and casually turned to Fusu Road, who told his younger brothers and sisters about the Baiyue War.

Fusu was stunned for a moment, and then an uncontrollable joy appeared on his face, and he hurriedly bowed his hands and said, "Here."

He became the right servant of the martial arts academy, and Qin Mo naturally became the left servant.

And Qin respects the right, which means that he is the principal of the martial arts school, and Qin Mo is the vice-principal.

In other words, he is above Qin Mo.

In the past, he went out with Qin Mo to do things, either as a supervising army or as a deputy general. In fact, he was under Qin Mo's control. Now he can be regarded as a daughter-in-law and a mother-in-law!
Of course, this is not the point, after all, he is the prince, and Qin Mo is the minister...

The point is that Ying Zheng let him serve as the right servant of the martial arts school, which is equivalent to acquiescing to him to cultivate his own wings in the army. In the future, all the young generals of Daqin will be his students.

His crown prince position will be extremely stable and no one can shake it!

Those younger brothers who are unrestrained and comfortable in the country outside the Great Wall, don't think about going back to Xianyang to see Ying Zheng all day long.

It's useless to come back, and there will be no drama in the future!
……

……

At the same time, after Qin Mo and the courtiers sent Ying Zheng away, they approached Gan Luo and asked, "Brother Gan, has your position not been adjusted?"

Gan Luo shook his head and said, "It hasn't changed, it's just that he will take care of the royal family full-time for His Majesty in the future."

This was expected, Qin Mo continued to ask: "Brother Gan is starting to co-operate the workshop?"

He is very concerned about the issue of pensions for disabled veterans, and now it has been the past few days, so he naturally wants to ask about it.

Gan Luo froze for a moment, then grinned and said, "Not yet."

Qin Mo was puzzled: "Why? Is Yu Ji not agreeing to give up the profit?"

As she said that, she frowned and looked at Yu Ji behind her. Could it be that after becoming a princess, this little girl has become a complete gold digger and lost the integrity in her heart?
Yu Ji seemed to understand the meaning in his eyes, and immediately pursed her red lips in displeasure.

Gan Luo immediately waved his hands again and again, explaining: "No, Princess Huayu understands righteousness. After seeing Prime Minister Qin's handwriting, she learned that it was a handicap to the disabled old man, so she agreed on the spot."

"In addition, Princess Huayu also suggested to me that not only disabled old soldiers who have not received military service should be hired as workers, but also widows and orphans of those who died in battle without receiving military service. If they have not remarried and changed their surnames, priority should be given to hiring as workers."

"It's just that after His Majesty announced the adjustment of official positions, I was busy arguing with the ministers, discussing which workshops should be allocated and which workshops should be kept in the Shaofu."

"So, I forgot about it... I will start working on the joint workshop tomorrow!"

Qin Mo nodded suddenly, and said seriously: "This matter is related to the country's century-old plan, brother Gan must take care of it."

Gan Luo bowed his hands: "Brother Qin, don't worry, I know."

Qin Mo didn't say too much, Gan Luo's character and ability were unquestionable, and he could trust him.

Later, Qin Mo, Yu Ji, Lu Zhi and Lu Xiaomei, led a group of attendants from the Princess Mansion, also left the academy and returned to Huayu Princess Mansion.

He is too lazy to go back to Shanglin Garden tonight, and it won't be too late to go back tomorrow morning!
"Okay, don't be angry, you have pimples on your petite face."

Seeing that Yu Ji was still sulking because she had misunderstood her just now, Qin Mo coaxed with a smile.

Yu Ji rolled her seductive peach blossom eyes, and angrily turned her head to the side not to look at him.

Qin Mo didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he turned his head to look at Lu Zhi and Lu Xiaomei beside him, and beckoned them to help him with a few words.

But the two sisters spread their hands and the other stuck out their tongue, expressing their helplessness.

At this moment, the group had already returned to the Princess Mansion. Qin Mo gave Yu Ji a meaningful look, and went back to his bedroom to rest.

Yu Ji's pretty face flushed slightly, but she acted as if she hadn't seen it, and went back to her bedroom with a cold snort.

"Second Sister, do you want to persuade Sister Yu Ji?"

Seeing Yu Ji's angry look, Lu Xiaomei couldn't help but worry.

Lu Zhi glared at her angrily: "Children, why do you like to meddle in your own business so much!"

Lu Xiaomei probably didn't expect to be reprimanded, and immediately shrank her head in aggrieved manner.

How did she know that Lu Zhi had actually seen the mean look Qin Mo gave Yu Ji when he was about to leave, and knew that these two men and women were bound to have trouble tonight.

Therefore, the soul of the shrew awakened, and I was a little jealous!

However, she didn't open which pot and lifted which pot, and she bumped into the muzzle of Lu Zhi's gun!

"Well, in fact, it's good to persuade him, you are right."

Lu Zhi suddenly changed his style of painting, stretched out his hand and rubbed Lu Xiaomei's head, and said softly: "You go to her first, I will change this princess robe, and then go over."

"Hmm."

Lu Xiaomei nodded her head fiercely, and hurriedly chased after Yu Ji.

While Lu Zhi watched her go away, he turned around and went directly to Qin Mo's residence.

The attendants saw all this in their eyes, and couldn't help but look at each other. After a while, someone grinned and said, "This South China princess is worthy of being bestowed with military merit. This trick of diverting the tiger away from the mountain and attacking east and west is really exquisite."

"Of course, our Princess Huayu, I'm afraid she will be alone in the vacant room tonight."

"Hee hee hee……"

……

At the same time, outside Yuji's oversized princess palace, Lu Xiaomei came rushing in, and broke in without knocking on the door.

But then he was stunned, his big eyes widened and he exclaimed, "Wow~!"

Yu Ji was changing clothes, seeing her barging in, she wasn't surprised, but said with black lines all over her head, "Don't be funny, okay..."

Gumbling—

Lu Xiaomei swallowed a mouthful of saliva, looked down at her flat face, and said quietly, "When will I grow up?"

Concubine Yu: "..."

Concubine Yu couldn't do anything about this funny girl, she changed into a fairy-like white dress on her own, took a white sword in her hand, and looked at the huge bronze mirror.

This outfit was designed by Qin Mo for her back then. It looks like a cool and chivalrous girl, even more Li Ruotong than Liu Yifei!

Lu Xiaomei was so envious, she secretly made up her mind that after she had achieved a small degree of sword skills, she would also wear the same outfit, which was simply too cool.

But at the same time, seeing Yu Ji wearing this outfit in the middle of the night, she couldn't help feeling suspicious, so she asked strangely, "Sister Yu Ji, are you going to learn from those Mohist swordsmen before and go out to rob the rich and help the poor?"

Yu Ji smiled: "Why are you robbing rich? I am rich! When you want to help the poor, you can't help!"

Lu Xiaomei was even more surprised: "Since you don't rob the rich and help the poor, why are you dressed like this?"

Yu Ji said meaningfully: "Prevent thieves."

Lu Xiaomei was startled: "There is a thief? What kind of thief?"

Concubine Yu: "The flower picker~!"

Lu Xiaomei suddenly came to a sudden realization, and quickly went to the sword rack next to her, took a treasured sword from Yu Ji, and said with a pretty face, "I won't sleep tonight, I will help sister Yu Ji patrol the back garden, who dares to enter the house to make trouble?" When you pick flowers, you chop off your paws."

Concubine Yu: "..."

Are you real or fake?
Want to tease me to death and inherit my treasured sword?
"Okay then, go outside and help me patrol."

Concubine Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and then sat on the bed with her skirt lifted, her eyes closed and she waited for the flower picker to come to her door.

Lu Xiaomei walked out with her sword in her hand, but returned after taking two steps, and said in a bewildered way: "I haven't finished my sword skills yet, so I'd better stay with Sister Yuji."

Concubine Yu: "..."

Yu Ji pursed her lips, and decided not to talk to this funny little girl.

Lu Xiaomei imitated her and sat cross-legged on the couch, and asked tentatively, "Sister Yuji, are you still angry with the lord?"

She still hasn't forgotten the purpose of coming here.

But Yu Ji was moved when she heard that she cared about her, she opened her peach blossom eyes and said with a smile: "How can I be angry with the gentleman, it's just to tease him."

Lu Xiaomei was dumbfounded, and said enviously, "Sister Yuji and Junzi really have a very close relationship."

Concubine Yu still liked to hear such flattering words, her vanity was immediately satisfied, and she showed off: "My outfit is also designed by a gentleman, isn't it beautiful?"

Lu Xiaomei immediately nodded frantically: "Mmmm, it's so beautiful, no wonder I heard people say that Junhou used to praise Sister Yuji, and when he looked at Qingren City and then Qingren Country, it must be here!"

Concubine Yu was refreshed by the praise, and said with a smile: "It really made you guess, it really should be here, do you want a whole body?"

Lu Xiaomei nodded without hesitation: "Think~!"

Concubine Yu got up, opened the big box in the corner of the palace, took out a brand new set of white dress, and handed it to Xiaomei Lu: "I'll see you off."

Lu Xiaomei was overjoyed immediately, and excitedly went to bar the gate of the palace.

Then, three times, five times, two times, he took off the clothes of the audience on his body, and put on new clothes that were cool.

Except that she is not as fierce as Yu Ji, her figure is more slender and taller in all aspects, so after wearing it, she looks even more radiant as a pure girl!
By now, Concubine Yu had probably forgotten about Qin Mo's troubles, and was helping her hold the lamp to look in the mirror, discussing how to change it so that it would be more in line with Lu Xiaomei's figure.

Finally, he took out the matching silver jewelry and helped her dress up.

Women always have endless topics to talk about about clothing and jewelry. It wasn't until late at night when both women began to feel sleepy that Yu Ji finally remembered the business.

But seeing that Qin Mo didn't intend to come, she didn't bother to wait anymore, so she wanted to let Xiaomei Lu sleep together.

However, Miss Lu wanted to go back and show off to her second sister, so she cheekily borrowed Yu Ji's white sword and left excitedly.

Seeing her leaving, Yu Ji didn't feel sleepy anymore. After all, if the mountain doesn't come, it will be me, and if I go, it will be the mountain.

So, he also left the palace and headed towards Qin Mo's residence.

"Ah, shameless thief~!!!"

Yu Ji hadn't gone far when Lu Xiaomei's terrified scream came from ahead.
