Destiny Only Han

Chapter 782 Liu Ying: Despise compradors, understand compradors, become compradors...

Body poison, Fahrenheit City.

In the luxurious palace decorated with a strong smell of fennel, the Peacock King sat cross-legged on the blanket, his face full of arrogance, his appearance was nothing more than that, but his heart was full of yearning.

Beside him, Wu She restrained the contemptuous look in his eyes, and his voice was flat, as if he was talking about other people's family affairs.

"Five thousand miles from the capital to the north is the North Sea of ​​the Han Dynasty. Every winter, just like what my Emperor Han said, thousands of miles are frozen, and thousands of miles are covered with snow..."

"A fairyland on earth, nothing more than this..."

"As of the time when I sailed from Nanhai County, the Western Regions Protectorate of the Han Dynasty has governed 72 countries in the Western Regions. The farthest border is the great country of the Western Regions that produces bloody BMWs. There is a stone monument in the west of Chang'an City. Wanli..."

"Although Xiangdong is vast and misty, there is a large island in the sea called Whale Island, which is Penglai and Yingzhou in myths and legends. However, after the Han army landed, no gods were found, so they only got a piece of land with rich products and an area not inferior The borders of this great country..."

"There are very few achievements in the south, after all, it takes time to build a ship, such as the kind of small boat that I take, but it is only rated as a third-class ship, it is really not worth mentioning..."

The Peacock King swallowed his saliva with a blank face, and at the same time swallowed the words he wanted to refute and show off.

For example, Daxue Mountain, for example, the ancestor of his family who killed as many enemies as the sands of the Ganges River...

But when he saw Pushamitra Xunga walking outside the palace gate, he soon had something to brag about again.

"My king, Moro has assembled, ready for military parade..."

"Hahaha... Han envoy, how about going with me?"

Wu She listened to the translation beside him, and nodded with a smile: "I stick to what I want, but I dare not ask for it."

Anyway, he was ordered to go to Anxi and other countries, and he just parked here for supplies, and let the crew buy some spices at a low price, and sell them to the west to earn a fortune...

Therefore, being idle is also idle.

..............................

North of the palace, the parade ground.

It is said to be a parade ground, but it is actually a sparse grassland. It used to be a hunting ground for the royal family of the Mauryan Dynasty. Since King Ashoka converted to Buddhism, it has really become a desolate place.

Today, in the corners of this wilderness, temporary shacks can be seen everywhere, full of voices and shadows, more like slums than military camps.

Wu She and the envoys behind him suppressed the contempt in their hearts and continued to watch.

After all, the meat of the buns is not on the folds, and there are not no troops with no military discipline but extremely high combat effectiveness.

For example, the daredevils among the Han army in the early years.

That group of people are free and undisciplined on weekdays, and they don't have any rules when fighting, but there are two outstanding points, fearless of death, and stalking.

In this way, they relied on this method to wipe out the most elite Lantian army in the former Qin Dynasty...

These credits are still engraved on the relief sculptures on the central street of Chang'an City. Even though many members of the missions are only fifteen or sixteen-year-old young people, they are familiar with this. , A member who will never survive without killing the enemy!
It's just that when the military parade of the Maurya Dynasty started, they realized that they were wrong, completely wrong.

They feel that calling these people soldiers is really an insult to the word soldier!

During the military parade, it is normal to have chariots in the front. Even if it is as strong as the Han army, it will also carry a four-wheeled carriage called Wugang chariot when fighting.

But, what the hell are there so many people standing on a chariot pulled by two horses?

Have you considered the feelings of the horse?

Then, those infantrymen performing running archery and throwing knife wheels made them even less interested.

Fancy show, one shot down!
This was the only thought that appeared in the minds of every member of the mission.

Amid Wu She's yawns, the highlight of the military parade finally appeared.

Above the wasteland, thunderous roars suddenly sounded.

"Elephant?"

Wu She scratched his head, his face was also lack of interest, with a drowsy expression.

After all, the average temperature at this time is higher than that of later generations. In Yunmengze, that is, the Hubei generation of later generations, there are wild elephant herds. From the year Liu Bang proclaimed himself emperor, all large-scale sacrificial ceremonies, the leader of the emperor's car is sixteen The head is covered with red hanging colors, and elephants with various patterns are painted on the body.

"Damn it!" The Peacock King groaned and clenched his fists lightly.

This is a trump card he carefully prepared. Didn't you see that he was about to stand up and shout excitedly, but those Han people still had an indifferent expression!

They must be pretending... The Peacock King twisted his neck in self-satisfaction. Under the sun, the jewel-encrusted crown shone brightly, looking extremely beautiful.

Then, when Mo Luo, who was wearing a full set of armor, holding a long gun, and a knife hanging from his waist, appeared, the Han people around him were stunned.

"How is it? Has the Han envoy ever seen such a powerful army?" The Peacock King asked with a proud smile.

"Sure enough, mighty and majestic, well-deserved reputation..." Wu She nodded in agreement.

The Han Dynasty is a country of etiquette, and you won't be hurt by complimenting others. After all, those poisonous warriors who walked in loosely wore a full set of Han army equipment.

In other words, the Peacock King is actually the father of Party A!

The point is to spend generously!
So, lick!
Wu She said a lot of compliments, which made the Peacock King proud, and surprised the young envoys who were full of vigor behind him.

This person is their dean?
Sure enough, just as the dean taught them on weekdays, the last thing a scholar of a political strategist wants is face, and he must lower his posture to the dust anytime and anywhere...

It's just that a boy with a round face didn't think so.

He was around 1.8 or [-] years old, because of good nutrition and sufficient exercise, his height was close to [-] meters, and he was already a complete adult except for the childishness of a teenager remaining between his brows.

And teenagers in this age group are in the period of middle school and good face.

So he was very dissatisfied with Wu She's "subservience". In his opinion, it should be like what his brother-in-law the emperor once said, the so-called barbarians are either to be a dog or die, there is no other choice!

Because of this, he is ready to chop off the barbarian king's head at any time, and then support a regime that is close to the big man here, and then teach the natives to speak Chinese, learn Chinese customs, and wear Han clothes, so that he can make a decision to annex the dependent country at any time...

Well, his name is Dou Guangguo, and his sister's name is Dou Yifang...

When Dou Guangguo was imagining that he was going to cut down from Fahrenheit City all the way to the mouth of the Ganges River with his hands up and down with a knife in his hand, there were waves in front of his eyes!

Just for a moment of stupefaction, a sharp arrow flew from the parade ground and hit the throat of the Peacock King who was drinking sugar water!

Walking through the sun with a hundred steps is amazing!
Then, there was a sudden roar on the parade ground, and a hundred poisonous warriors wearing iron armor and holding long knives came rushing forward, and chopped down the palace nobles who stood in front of them one after another. On the carpet, the peacock king covered his throat with his hands and said hoo hoo hoo hoo.

"What's the situation?" Although Wu She was amazed, his face was full of joy.

After all, he was born too late. This kind of behavior of assassinating the king and killing the king, and the ranger's betting the world with a dagger has long since disappeared with Jing Ke's swan song...

So, how is this kind of scene not exciting!
At this moment, not only Wu She, but also the envoys behind him and the soldiers of the Han army who followed him all opened their eyes wide, not letting go of any detail.

Such a commendable scene, if you miss it, you will regret it for life!
Under the torrent of steel, the guards around the Peacock King were killed one by one like chopping melons and vegetables, and beside the Peacock King, the low-browed Pusha Mitra Xunga suddenly exploded, as Dou Guangguo imagined. In that way, he raised the knife and cut off the head of the Peacock King!

Blood spurts, spurts!
The priceless and exquisite carpet was immediately stained red with blood!

Not only Wu She was taken aback, but so were the teenagers of the envoys behind him. The scene of turning into elbows and armpits made them stunned in place, stunned.

After all, they are still just junior high school students. If they were placed in future generations, what they would worry about every day would be what to eat in the morning, what to eat at noon, what to eat in the evening, and how to score in the black...

But they are not flowers in the greenhouse after all. Although they have never killed anyone, they have long been yearning for it.

Therefore, when the poisonous warriors who rushed over approached, they all drew their knives in their hands, and their bodies trembled unconsciously.

This is not fear, but excitement!

This is a time of intense concentration and an adrenaline rush!
And behind them, those veterans serving as guards also drew knives in their hands.

It's just that unlike the teenagers who stood in a circle and focused on defense, the veterans came out more and more, and directly bumped into the shouting poisonous warriors.

In an instant, the veteran taught a solid lesson to the young man behind him.

That is, when facing a strong enemy, only the dog barks non-stop, hoping to scare the opponent away, but the tiger does not. When the tiger launches an attack, it is quiet and silent, but fierce and deadly!

When the teenagers were full of excitement, the veterans had just met their opponents, and they competed!
The bright sword flashed, and while the veteran was parrying the weapon in the hands of the poisonous man, the Bailian long knife he was holding pierced the iron armor of the enemy like a sharp blade cutting paper, and pierced into their chest.

In the next second, the long knife was dragged, and the belly was ripped open. The winner survived, and the loser was eaten.

Amid the strong bloody smell and the sour smell from the internal organs, the blood and mud spouted from the mouths of the poisoned warriors who fell to the ground mixed together, covering their mouths, and they died in unconscious convulsions from excessive blood loss.

Obviously, their iron armor is indestructible...

Behind the veteran, the youths of the envoy also exclaimed. The killing skills of the veterans are too precise and skilled. Even if the knife did not hit them, the feeling of witnessing death with their own eyes still made their hair stand on end.

Just as creepy as the boys, were the poisoned warriors rushing over, as well as Pushamitra Xunga, who had just succeeded in assassinating the king.

It's just that unlike the teenagers who are full of security, the poisonous person's heart is full of fear.

The Han people are devils, the legendary Rakshasa ghosts!
How can a person fight against the devil?

Xu Shi saw the weakness of the poisonous man, Wu She stood up and shouted sharply: "Don't move, you will destroy the country!"

Beside Wu She, the translator who was also a poisonous person also had a high-spirited expression and murmured a lot, but judging from the expression on the poisonous person opposite him, he should have brought a lot of private goods ...

Pushamitra Xunga waved his hand lightly, and the poisonous warrior who had long since retreated looked at the Han Chinese veteran on the opposite side with vigilance, and moved back little by little until the distance between the two sides was maintained. After covering a distance of more than two feet, they turned and ran to the other side.

The Peacock King is dead, so naturally he wants to take this opportunity to kill those members of the royal family and occupy their wives, daughters and wealth!

Pushamitra Xunga raised the head of the Peacock King in his hand and placed it in front of him, full of ambition:
"From now on, your country will be my country, your wife and daughter will be my women, and your servants will be my servants... Here, it will be the country of the Sunga clan!"

Wu She watched coldly from the sidelines for a long time, then suddenly smiled and said, "Congratulations, congratulations to your lord... just don't know what your lord's plan is going to be next?"

Pushamitoro threw away the Peacock King's head like he was throwing rubbish, his face full of pride and ambition: "Lead those lion-like troops and attack south to the edge of the sea!"

What the Peacock King failed to do, he must do, otherwise, how can he prove that he is better than that trash?
lion?Okay, you have always been like this... Wu She asked with a smile:

"There is an old saying among the Han people, that is, soldiers and horses go ahead without using food and grass, and now they are attacking south. My king has enough food, grass and supplies. I'm afraid I can't do it just by relying on the troops assembled now?"

"It must be known that the centipede is dead but not stiff. Although this person is dead, how can the other members of the royal family let it go, and they will inevitably rise up. At that time, there will be dissatisfied ministers inside and strong enemies outside. What will my king do?"

Listening to Wu She's words, the translator's face was full of struggling expressions. He was just a translator, not an academic expert. He didn't know how to translate many words Wu She said...

But this is not important, he thought for a while, and according to his own understanding, he translated many words that he could understand to Pusa Mitra.

Pusha Mitraro was silent for a moment, and began to suffer.

The translator is an idiot, but he is not.

Although he only listened to Wu She's words, it didn't prevent him from understanding what the other party meant.

"Then, what should I do?" Pushamitoro asked back, ready to go whoring for nothing.

"There is no other, only nine words..." Wu She said with a smile, and then kept silent, making a gesture that it is obvious that if you don't do me any favors, I won't say anything.

"Nine words?" Pushamidoro pondered for a long time, and finally made up his mind: "I heard that the Han merchants here mentioned that there is a monarch in your country who once made such a thing as a thousand pieces of gold... so, you You might as well tell it and listen to it, if it is useful, it will be worth a thousand dollars!"

A word of money?Am I Lu Buwei?Bah, bah, bah, it's not auspicious... Wu She straightened his clothes, and said with a solemn expression: "Accumulate more food, make more friends, and slowly become king!"

Wu She lowered his brows and lowered his eyes amid Pusha Mituoluo's thoughtful expression, but his eyes were always locked on Pusha Mituoluo.

He doesn't care about money or not. As strategists, they always like to dig a hole on the road. When someone falls into the hole, they will fill the hole as if nothing happened. Shouting to dig the opponent out...

Pushamitra asked slowly, "What do you mean?"

Wu She explained:
"I've heard that most of the land states in the south separate their regimes to protect themselves. If the king becomes king at this moment, he will definitely become the target of public criticism and attract lords from all walks of life to encircle and suppress them..."

"There are rebellions inside, and powerful enemies outside. How can two fists beat other people's four arms?"

"That's why it's slow to be king...but it's not not to be king."

"Therefore, there is a wide accumulation of grain, that is, a large amount of grain accumulation. This is not a problem. The difficulty lies in the indestructible armor and the unparalleled sharpness of the weapon..."

After hearing the words indestructible and unparalleled, Dou Guangguo suddenly burst out laughing.

It's just that he was glared at by a group of teenagers around him, and said in a dazed way: "I think of happy things... When I went to sea, I received a letter from my family, saying that my sister-in-law Qiu gave birth to a nephew for me..."

After bluffing through the border, Dou Guangguo stopped talking, Wu She paused, and then said:

"As for making more friends, the king is able to do such a feat here, so naturally there is no need for foreign ministers to say anything..."

"Then, how should I accumulate grain?" Pushamitoro nodded, took out a beautifully shaped five baht coin from his sleeve, and asked, "Or, how can I get this kind of coin?"

When the Han merchants of Shangxiantang Overseas Jiazhan Specialty Trading Company traded with the Peacock King, they only charged five baht and never bartered.

Of course, gold and gems do.

But the crux of the problem is that the Han people are extremely treacherous, and they accept all the gold as ordered, but every time they trade, they have to remelt it again to remove all the impurities they deliberately mixed in...

Not only that, but the discount is huge!

As for gems, they only accept rough stones. They have polished and made well-made gems, unless they are very large, they will not accept them at all!
Therefore, Pusha Mitraro's implication is that he wants to use Wu She's relationship to let Han merchants open the door to him.

After all, he promised the other party a hundred dollars a word, so naturally he needs the other party to do more!
Wu She obviously understands this too, but he is just a small school supervisor. Although he is holding an envoy in his hand, it is really too long to touch the cake of the domestic military-industrial complex...

But he remembered Liu Ying's face-to-face instruction before he left, so he said with a smile: "I don't know if Your Majesty has heard of the word tariff?"

"Tariffs? What do you mean?" Pushamitoro asked with a frown.

Wu She thought for a while and said simply: "When Han merchants sell goods to the king, they need to pay the king a sum of money as a tax..."

"Oh? Is this okay too?" Pusamituoluo opened his eyes wide, and an expression of missing a hundred million immediately appeared on his face.

After all, they are a slave country, and there is no such thing as tariffs...

Wu She smiled and said:

"Of course it is possible. This is a very mature tax law in Han. If your majesty is interested, you might as well send the princes to study in Han. It will not only increase your knowledge, but also borrow stones from other mountains to attack your own jade..."

"And the advantage of tariffs is that the king can get a steady stream of coins without doing anything!"

"The more goods the merchants sell to the king and his subjects, the more tariffs the king will receive!"

Wu She said while taking a wine bottle from the attendant beside him, and said cheerfully:

"Your Majesty is no stranger to this wine. A bottle of this wine costs ten thousand yuan. If the tax is one thirty, the Majesty buys thirty bottles, which is equivalent to giving away a bottle for nothing! If a person in the country buys thirty bottles, the Majesty will give you a free bottle." Earned a bottle for nothing!"

"You can lie down and make money without doing anything!"

Pushamitoro thought for a while, and said pleasantly: "If I charge half of the tax, wouldn't it be buy one get one free?"

But he immediately laughed awkwardly.

With such a high tax, how could there be businessmen coming to do business?
The important thing is that he still can't beat the Han people...

However, he immediately thought that Han businessmen were obsessed with a product in his country.

cotton!

If he still keeps the order of the Peacock King, dismantles the domestic looms, and lets the textile workers grow cotton, the production will increase by at least [-]% in the coming year!
If it is all sold to Han merchants, you can get more five baht than before!

The important thing is that no one in the country weaves, but people still have to wear clothes, especially if he can force the people in the country not to show their limbs except hands and feet!

In this way, wouldn't he be able to import a large amount of cotton cloth from the Han people?

What is the benefit to the country, and what is the benefit to him, for the people of the country to grow cotton and weave their own clothes?
Pusha Mitra nodded with a smile: "The Chinese envoy might as well say more in detail, and say more..."

..............................

Ganges estuary, pier.

Eleven battleships with black flags hanging high, like a fortress, sailed out of the port slowly, and headed towards Deep Blue with their sails open.

Wu She stood on the side of the boat, gnashing his teeth.

He, let the ancestors be ashamed, let the sages feel ashamed...

If Zhang Ziquan knew about it, he would definitely jump up angrily and explain to him what "cutting the land for six miles" is!
He was deceived by Pushamidoro, so badly!
The bullshit is worth every word, he hasn't received a single golden bean...

"Heh, you should really listen to the merchant and collect the money first..." Wu She sighed, and walked slowly into the cabin, another thought silently came up in his mind.

The poisonous people are now considered to have joined the trading body dominated by the Han Dynasty, but they don't know if the five baht in the country is enough...

However, this has nothing to do with him.

After all, he is just a small envoy...

ps: The 'Yi Qi Discussion' next door, if it was placed in Sima Qian's era, there should be a biography...

pps: This kind of assassination behavior also occurs in the TV series "Han Wu Dadi".

It's just different from the history. In the TV series, Yuan An was going to report to Dou Ying, telling him not to find an assassin when he went out, but he met him first...

In history, when Yuan Ang heard that there was an assassin coming, he thought of finding a master to figure it out...

And before he even got to the hexagram booth, he was attacked by an assassin...

ppps: Fever, runny nose, cough, I started to panic...
