Daqin: Who does this throne give to me?

Chapter 112 Li Shiqi said Yelang Guoxiang
In Yelang Kingdom, Li Shiqi gently pushed the box in his hand over: "This is a gift from His Highness to the Prime Minister!"

Opening the box, a box full of exquisite silver jewelry in different shapes made Yelang Guoxiang's eyes light up, but then, he gently closed the box, cupped his hands and said: "The envoy of Shangguo sent such an important gift, what is he asking for?" Things are bound to be extremely difficult, I just want to survive the day in peace with my old age!"

As he spoke, he pushed the box back.

Li Shiqi chuckled, and directly offered a condition: "My Highness needs a large number of slaves and craftsmen. If the Prime Minister is willing, he can even send troops around to catch some. How many Jiujiang merchants will be charged!"

"hiss!"

The Yelang country couldn't help taking a deep breath. In the past few months, a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry have flowed into Yelang, and all the supplies that can be bought on the market have been wiped out. Some tribes below have begun to attack each other. , just to catch more slaves.

That is to say, Daqin's power is too great, so that the king dare not move lightly, otherwise, all Daqin merchants would have been driven out long ago.

But now, His Highness Daqin actually sent people to buy slaves directly, the meaning is self-evident, obviously intending to make the Yelang Kingdom a sword in his hands, to start a war with the surrounding countries, and arrest a large number of people from the surrounding countries for him.

Yelang was already the largest of a group of small countries in the south, but after Li Shiqi arrived, he was still disappointed.

Even the capital city is so barren that there are not many goods. The only few bustling shops are all opened by Chu merchants, and all the supplies have been looted by Chu merchants.

Li Shiqi even felt that the slash-and-burn farming in Yelang country, supplemented by hunting, was too backward, so there were no troubles in the country. If it was replaced by Daqin, there would have been wars everywhere.

Lord Yelang met him once, but the indifference on his expression was visible to the naked eye. Obviously, he was dissatisfied with the merchants from Chu who were raiding Yelang Kingdom, that is, he did not dare to offend Daqin, otherwise he would not have seen him.

Under such circumstances, even if Li Shiqi had all-powerful abilities, he would not be able to persuade Lord Yelang to capture slaves for him.

However, Li Shiqi, who was on an envoy for the first time, never wanted to go back in such a disheveled manner. A group of businessmen with little status in Chudi played with a bunch of small countries like this. He was a disciple of the Zongheng family. People thought that their ability was not as good as a group of businessmen who were ungrateful for profit.

After inquiring carefully, he found out that the Yelang Kingdom is completely composed of a bunch of tribes, and the Lord Yelang is just the leader of the largest tribe, and he is far from being a promise in the country.

Looking at Yelang Guoxiang, the silk clothes all over his body, no matter the accessories or his expression, can be said to be the same as the nobles of the Central Plains.

"The Prime Minister should have heard that my Royal Highness is the prince who is most likely to inherit the throne in Daqin. All the princes only seal a small city on the edge, and only my Royal Highness seals a county. From this alone, it can be seen that my Royal Highness is under the emperor's authority. The position in His Majesty's heart!"

"Now my Highness wants to build up Jiujiang County, which requires a large number of slaves. If the Prime Minister helps this, my Highness will definitely remember the favor of the Prime Minister!"

Seeing that the other party's expression didn't change at all after I finished speaking, it was obvious that there were not enough bargaining chips. Li Shiqi also smiled and said: "To be honest, the Prime Minister of the country is staying here in Yelang Kingdom. It is said that he is the Prime Minister of the State, but in fact it is just a wild place." The leader of the tribe is like a savage!"

"Even if the prime minister doesn't think about himself, shouldn't he think about future generations? If he stays in such a place, if the descendants don't live up to expectations in the future, he will really become a savage!"

"If the Prime Minister is willing to help with this, after the matter is completed, His Royal Highness can give the Prime Minister a house in Jiujiang County, so that the Prime Minister's family can move to Jiujiang to live away from this wild place!"

"Qindu, if Your Highness can give me a house in Qindu, I will help!"

Yelang Guoxiang looked at Li Shiqi with a calm face. He is not short of money for this house, but as the prince of Daqin, and the prince who is the most hopeful to inherit the throne, giving himself a house can prevent him from being The nobles and wealthy households in the capital of Qin rejected him.

What he really wants is not the house, but the name given to him by the twenty princes of the Great Qin Dynasty. As long as the twenty princes agree, he can buy the house himself.

As the Prime Minister of Yelang, how could he not understand that Li Shiqi wanted to disturb the peace of the small country that was originally a subsidiary of Chu.

On the fringes of big countries, small countries can only protect themselves if they unite. If they get into chaos first, both sides will suffer in the end, but they can be manipulated by Daqin.

It's just that the total of a dozen small countries was not the opponent of Chu State back then, and the hundreds of thousands of people in Chu State were defeated by Da Qin, which made him really unable to bring up the slightest thought of confronting Da Qin.

Not to mention that the younger generations stayed in this barren land without even a knowledgeable teacher. If the tribe were not careful, the descendants would live in this barren land forever.

Even if it is to keep his descendants away from this wild life, he still wants to take his family to a civilized country like Daqin in his own hands.

"Okay, I promise you on behalf of Your Highness!" Li Shiqi immediately agreed, a house, but just to use His Highness's reputation, it can completely destroy the alliance between these ten small countries. He believes that his Highness Absolutely will not refuse.

Gently opening the box in front of him, looking at the shining jewelry inside, Yelang Guoxiang was full of emotion on his face: "Sure enough, it is jewelry from the Shang Kingdom of the Central Plains. I have seen some things made of silver, but I have never seen any." A piece can compare with these jewels!"

Li Shiqi smiled awkwardly. He knew that it was Yelang Guoxiang who didn't believe him, so he stood up immediately and said, "I'll ask the caravan to send the news back. It won't be long before I can bring your Highness's reply back! "

"No, you are too impatient. My eldest son is now in Shouchun City. According to the servant who came back, he seems to be in a place called Chunfenglou!"

"Old fox!" Li Shiqi sighed secretly in his heart, knowing that he was still too inexperienced to be manipulated by the other party, but because he had his back to His Highness, this old fox didn't go too far, he just wanted his son to see His Highness and clarify His Highness Attitude.

Feeling overwhelmed, I couldn't help stabbing a sentence: "If I remember correctly, Chunfenglou is the largest brothel in Shouchun City. Your parents and children stay in the brothel, so you are not afraid to take it to you from inside." Return a daughter-in-law!"

Yelang Guoxiang's expression didn't change at all. Even when he stayed in this wild place, he had heard that the brothel women in the Central Plains taught poetry and books, and they were better than the women in the tribe.

He secretly despised Li Shiqi for his ignorance, but he laughed loudly and said, "Hahaha, if he can really bring a Central Plains woman back from the brothel, it would be an elegant thing. The old man threw a big banquet in the tribe to celebrate! "
