Di Lun was a little silent, years ago?
Years ago was a good time, but after all, he still wanted to see Ying Zheng as soon as possible.

The sooner he sees the First Emperor, the sooner he can feel at ease.

After all, the fate of the Shang country is now in the hands of the first emperor. If the first emperor can agree, the Shang country will have no opponents in the Yin Shang continent.

Daqin's iron cavalry can sweep across the countries on this continent, so what's the difficulty in dealing with those uncivilized countries?
But it's just casual.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps in the courtyard, and Xu Fu's eyes suddenly showed a little excitement.

At this time, besides the first emperor, there was only one Chen Ke who could directly enter the palace or post station.

Whether meeting Chen Ke or the first emperor can relieve King Shang's current psychological pressure.

He raised his head and looked over, with his neck stretched long, as if he wanted to catch things outside at a glance, like a wife looking forward to her husband's return.

And Di Lun next to him was also a little surprised. Although he didn't know who would come at this time, he knew that Xu Fu could be so excited, so he must know something.

Di Lun was not idle when he came to Daqin. He had a detailed understanding of Daqin's official system.

At present, the identity of Xu Fu in front of him is "Exploration Order", and his official rank should be around the fourth rank or the fifth rank.

And this status is definitely not low!

You know, under normal circumstances, what is the position of a county sheriff? How many sheriffs can Daqin have?

Therefore, Di Lun knew that Xu Fu's status in Daqin was not low.

That being the case, the official position that can make Xu Fu excited must not be low, or even higher, high enough to make him feel at ease.

And after he came to this Great Qin, the only person he saw who could make Xu Fu so excited was Chen Ke!

That Governor Chen, whether in the local government or in the central court, has a higher power status than the Governor Chen.

Feng Chang, County Bo, and Governor.

No matter which one of these three identities is selected, they are number one in the Great Qin Dynasty.

Among them, the highest status should be Fengchang, because Fengchang is one of the nine ministers, or even the leader of the nine ministers. Only the emperor and the Sangong can suppress Fengchang.

But the usual Fengchang has no real power, but Chen Ke is different. Chen Ke is not only Fengchang, but also the governor.

The Governor is a real boss.

Therefore, when Di Lun saw Xu Fu's reaction, he tidied up his clothes briefly to make him look neater.

If it weren't for the fact that it was too late to change clothes now, and if Chen Ke was made to wait, it would only consume Chen Ke's goodwill towards him. Di Lun would definitely be going to change into a set of clean and grand clothes now.

This is what Chen Ke saw when he walked into the courtyard.

Xu Fu was sitting there with his neck stretched in his direction, with hope in his eyes, while Di Lun was sitting there, sitting upright, with a serious and hidden worry on his expression.

He laughed, and then said: "The two of you already knew I was coming?"

"Why are you waiting here?"

Xu Fu chuckled: "I heard footsteps just now, except for His Majesty, only Feng Chang can directly enter and exit this place for the time being."

"Your Majesty is busy with New Year's affairs during this time, so I guess it should be Fengchang's arrival."

He looked at Di Lun beside him, and said, "Fengchang, the King of Shang has been waiting here for a long time, and when will he be able to see His Majesty?"

Regarding Xu Fu's question, Chen Ke didn't hesitate at all, but walked forward while thinking and said: "I think December 26 is a good day."

He rubbed his chin and said: "There is a big event on the 24th of the twelfth lunar month. Yu Bo can only pass the event on the 25th of the twelfth lunar month."

"Wait until the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, which happens to be the Great Court Meeting, and that matter is over."

"In this way, His Majesty should be in a better mood when he sees the King of Shang. After all, that incident can be regarded as His Majesty's heart disease?"

Heart disease?

A look flashed in Di Lun's eyes, what could cause His Majesty the Great Qin Emperor's heart disease?

And Xu Fu didn't stay in Xianyang city for nothing these few days, he still knew a little bit about this matter.

Is it about the clan?

But this matter is not something he can interfere with, so he quietly changed the subject immediately: "So that's how it is."

He turned his head, looked at King Shang and said, "King Shang, what do you think?"

Di Lun calculated the date in his mind, and now there is still less than half a month before the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, so there shouldn't be any problem.

In fact, he was not in a hurry to see Emperor Shi Huang, but there was no news from him, so he was a little worried.

Now that he could hear accurate information from Chen Ke's mouth, he was relieved a lot and stopped thinking about it.

"Of course there is nothing wrong with Xiao Wang here, everything will be arranged by Daqin."

Chen Ke sat there, drinking tea with a smile on his face.

While talking casually with Di Lun about the landforms of the Yinshang Continent, he was leading something without a trace,

Seeing Chen Ke like this, Di Lun also had various thoughts in his heart.

It is said that the First Emperor is busy, so is this Governor Chen not busy?
Governor Chen has many important responsibilities, and even the busy affairs of the first emperor recently, most of them have his shadow.

Such a busy person takes time out to see himself, is it just to chat with himself a few words that don't hurt or itch?

Of course Di Lun couldn't think so, he was not an idiot.

It is impossible for an idiot to sit on the throne. Even if the Shang Kingdom has migrated to the Yinshang Continent, it is no longer the glory of the past, and not everyone can sit on the throne.

So what do I have here that Governor Chen needs?
A flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in his mind, he thought of something, and also thought of some things.

Immediately looking at Chen Ke, he said, "Governor, Xu Shiling told us before that Daqin needs something from us?"

He said with a smile, "I heard Xu Shiling utter new words in his head, such as oil and coal mines."

"I don't know what these things are for, but I heard from Xu Shiling that we have a lot there, and Daqin also needs a lot."

Di Lun said with emotion: "Besides, Daqin is so powerful that he is willing to exchange other things with us for these resources. We are really grateful."

"It's just that it's useless for us to ask for these things."

He looked at Chen Ke tentatively and said, "In the original plan, Daqin would leave us [-]% of the resources. Xiao Wang thinks this is a bit too much."

"For Yin Shang, these things are really useless."

"Except for the ones that have to be kept and follow Daqin's footsteps, I don't know how to deal with the rest in the end."

"It will still be sold to Daqin in the end."

"I don't know if Governor Chen is interested in these things?"

"If you are interested, [-]% of Xiao Wang's share will be decided by Xiao Wang and given to Governor Chen as a meeting gift."

Chen Ke looked at Di Lun with a smile in his eyes.

This king of Shang is not as simple as he seems, he is a [-]% resource when he speaks.

And the meaning hidden in the words is also very obvious, [-]% is given to Chen Ke for nothing, and the other [-]% is sold to Chen Ke at an extremely low price.

This is the meeting gift that Shang Wang Di Lun wanted to give Chen Ke.

Chen Ke narrowed his eyes slightly, with a slight smile on his face: "I said, King Shang, do you know how important these resources are?"

He wasn't worried that after telling Di Lun the importance of this resource, Di Lun would regret cooperating with Daqin.

Because he knew in his heart that those lands did not belong to the Shang country in the first place, and now the Shang country is almost empty-handed.

Sending troops to use the weapons and strength of the Great Qin Dynasty does not capture its own territory, and what it sells is not its own territory's resources.

Telling the king of Shang about the importance of these resources can also serve as a deterrent.

These resources are so important, Daqin is bound to get them, do you dare to embezzle them?
Di Lun's expression seemed extremely calm, and he said directly and bluntly: "Xiao Wang doesn't know what the oil and coal mines are for."

"But Xiao Wang knows that this thing is very useful, otherwise Daqin would never be willing to make this deal with Yin Shang."

At this time, Di Lun was not going to hide from Chen Ke, he knew that Chen Ke knew that he was pretending to be an empty-handed white wolf.

"Governor Chen was very familiar with all the customs and geography of the Shang continent during the chat with me just now, so he must be familiar with our lost Shang country."

He glanced at Xu Fu who was sitting aside, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, looking as warm as a spring breeze.

"Even if Xu Shiling doesn't tell you, you should know that there are no such things in the territory of the Shang Kingdom, and those places are not the territory of the Shang Kingdom."

"I don't want to leave a greedy image in the heart of Governor Chen, so I am willing to give some of these benefits to Governor Chen."

He sighed and said: "Now the Shang country is facing a huge danger, and the interests are already something that will be considered later."

"I can't be the king of subjugation."

Di Lun looked at Chen Ke and said, "What's more, there must be those resources in the territory of Shang Kingdom."

There was a clear look in his eyes, as if he was not worried about anything at all.

"You have shown mercy to the Shang country, otherwise you can directly control the Shang country, or explore the resources in the Shang country's territory, and then conduct transactions."

"Since you keep your hand, why don't I go down this step?"

What Di Lun said was very sincere, and the expression on his face was pleading, gentle and a little helpless.

In all foreign relations, weak nations will never have little rights.

The only thing they can do is to gamble, bet on the benevolence of the big country, and bet on their own role to the big country.

This is something that has never changed since ancient times.

Looking at Di Lun who was so sincere, Chen Ke's tone carried a little bit of admiration. He liked such smart people.

Talking to smart people is also easy.

Only this time, Di Lun guessed his mind wrongly.

He smiled and said, "I don't need [-]% of the resources, what I need is a piece of territory."

Chen Ke lowered his head and said, "This piece of territory is divided among the Shang Kingdom."

"Presumably you also know that the Zhou Dynasty, which destroyed the Shang Dynasty, later implemented a system called enfeoffment."

"And what I want is something like that."

"I want to have a piece of land near the country of Shang. This land belongs to the country of Shang in name, but actually belongs to me."

"how?"

Chen Ke didn't know what he was doing, but he just had such an idea on a whim.

Want a piece of overseas land.

His eyes looked through the mountains and the countless voids, and looked at the place in the distance that was no longer visible.

Di Lun was taken aback for a moment, and then said instantly: "Of course!"

"After going back this time, I just want to learn the system of Daqin and establish the system of prefectures and counties."

"If you count the scope of resources explored by Xu Shiling before, there will be more than 40 counties in the Shang Kingdom. I am willing to give you the fiefdoms of ten counties as your country."

"how?"

Ten counties?
Xu Fu, who knew the size of the ten counties of the Shang Kingdom, was a little surprised for a moment. He looked at Chen Ke, then at Di Lun, and finally decided to be a deaf and dumb person.

Just listen in silence.

Chen Ke looked at Di Lun, and said, "The ten counties already constitute a quarter of your territory. Do you think you won't regret it in the future?"

Di Lun said bluntly, "Xiao Wang will never regret it."

"After we go back, Governor Chen can send someone to take over the ten counties at any time, and Xiao Wang will definitely not block anything."

Chen Ke nodded slightly: "Okay."

He stood up and looked at the setting sun in the distance.

In fact, Chen Ke didn't know what he wanted these ten counties to do, and he didn't even know what the use of an overseas place was.

but.
After all, there is.

Thinking like this, he chuckled and shook his head: "The storms have been a bit big these days, you should stay far away, and don't let the storms drag you into it."

After finishing speaking, Chen Ke walked towards the distance.

In the courtyard, the setting sun reflected the palace, the withered yellow leaves mixed with the cold east wind that day.

Di Lun let out a foul breath.

His heart was finally in his stomach, so what if he paid ten counties?

You know, according to the current division of Daqin prefectures and counties, the territory of their Shang country is not forty at all, but fifteen.

Even after sending out ten, they still have fifteen left.

How could he not be happy with the white wolf with empty gloves and [-] counties?

But he was not proud, because he knew that the reason he was able to accomplish this was the acquiescence of that Governor Chen.

Street side
The cold wind blows constantly in winter, but even on such a winter day, there are small vendors coming and going and children running constantly on the streets.

In the past winter, children would not come out at all, because if they were cold, they would die young.

This is no longer the case.

Even if you are sweating all over, the temperature will not drop suddenly after you go back, not after exercising.

This is a good thing.

Northern Xinjiang
Zhang Xilong looked at the large tent in front of him with a light expression.

He stepped into the big tent.

Go forward.
