Wu shook his head: "My lord, people in Bashu are afraid to move now. What happened to King Qin to kill Qing made them terrified and scared."

"They dare not trade with us."

Dongyue King's expression was a little unclear, he scratched his head, only feeling irritable in his heart: "What exactly does Daqin want to do?"

"If you want to attack Baiyue, just come directly."

"Who is this picture for now?"

There was anger on his face, and the costumes on his clothes clanged and clanged against each other.

Wu stood there, watching Dongyue King quietly.

He doesn't know what to do now.

The Dongyue King suddenly stood up, glaring at the void in the distance: "The great Lei Po will not abandon his people, it must be something we did that made Lei Po angry!"

"Leipo's heart is as soft as a cloud. He is not willing to punish his favorite heir with thunder, so he uses this method to remind us and let us realize our mistakes."

The King of Dongyue turned his head and looked at Wu with fierceness in his eyes: "This king has decided to send troops to the nearby Kuaiji County!"

"Plunder the surrounding villages and offer tribute to our great Leipo!"

Wu lowered his head, with a pious look on his face.

He couldn't be impious, because he could also hear the meaning of the words of the King of Dongyue.

This is the only plan for now.

Taking Lei Po's anger as an excuse to plunder the villages around Daqin, only in this way can the people of Dongyue survive.

Kuaiji County City
Zhang Han looked at Yang Tianyi, and said with some incomprehension: "Mr. Yang, why are you so sure that Dongyue will attack Daqin's border villages recently?"

He was a little embarrassed, but he still said firmly: "It's not that I doubt you, but I'm just curious, how did you determine this matter."

"After all, deploying troops without His Majesty's order is an accomplice to treason."

Yang Tianyi smiled, pointed to a certain place and said, "Look."

"Besides being next to us, Dongyue is also next to Changsha County."

"But the problem is that I have already made an agreement with the sheriff of Changsha County to let him severely crack down on those who sell salt to Baiyue."

"As long as he is caught, all his property will be confiscated first, and then he will be allowed to watch his nine clans be slaughtered in front of his eyes. Finally, he will be hung at the gate of the city, and let him watch his relatives being murdered for three days. beheaded again."

Yang Tianyi's eyes were indifferent.

"Under such harsh and terrifying laws, no one dares to sell salt to Baiyue, because the risk of doing so is too great."

"When the risks are not proportional to the benefits, those businessmen who have no empathy or patriotism will start to sprout a patriotic heart."

"I calculated that there have been no merchants going to East Vietnam for more than two months, instead of replacing salt."

"They didn't store much salt in the past, how long can they survive without salt now?"

Yang Tianyi smiled indifferently: "It's only half a month, and it's almost time now."

"Unless the king of Dongyue is a fool who doesn't know what the consequences will be if his soldiers don't eat salt."

"Otherwise he will definitely attack the villages near Kuaiji County, with the purpose of robbing Yanba."

Zhang Han and Zhao Tuo, two people who are good at using soldiers and feel that they have a lot of eyes and a vicious heart, were terrified after hearing Yang Tianyi's words.

The two looked at each other, and suddenly thought of Prime Minister Chen Ke.

Although Chen Ke is not here, a sentence that Prime Minister Chen Ke said is very suitable for the current scene.

"The heart of a literati is really dark."

Zhang Han cupped his hands helplessly, and said hastily in his tone: "Mr. Yang, the only plan now is for you to send a letter to Xianyang quickly. Your Majesty, please grant me the right to send troops."

"Otherwise your plan will be in vain."

He said with emotion: "Without His Majesty's Tiger Talisman, I have no right to mobilize the garrison here."

"The army in my hand is to attack Baiyue. If there is any accident, no one can afford it."

"When Dongyue came, I could only lead the army to resist and not pursue."

Speaking like this, even Zhao Tuo could hear the seriousness of it: "Mr. Yang, let's write a letter together."

"The military order we received before was to garrison and not move."

"If you act rashly, you will violate the imperial decree."

Governor Yang smiled mysteriously: "Don't worry."

He respectfully took out a black box from the table beside it. There were countless patterns imprinted on the box, which looked very solemn.

Zhang Han even saw with sharp eyes that there was a black bird on it that was about to fly!

"Your Majesty has a decree to order Zhang Han and Zhao Tuo to cooperate fully to destroy Dongyue."

This was an imperial decree sent to Kuaiji County, or to Yang Tianyi earlier in the morning. Yang Tianyi didn't show it before, on the one hand it was not yet time, and on the other hand it was because Zheng Taidong's troubles had not been resolved yet.

Yang Tianyi put the imperial decree in the hands of the two, and then said: "I'm a person in government affairs, I don't know how to send troops and transfer generals, everything depends on the two generals."

After Zhang Han received the imperial decree, his face was full of confusion: "Mr. Yang, didn't everyone say that old general Wang Jian is coming?"

"This? I'm still in charge?"

Yang Tianyi glanced at Zhang Han and said, "Who did you listen to?"

He let out a laugh, as if he had thought of something interesting: "It is indeed coming, but when will it come? That's not certain."

Xianyang city center
Wang Jian also had an angry look on his face: "Chen Ke, what did you promise me at the beginning??"

He sat opposite Chen Ke angrily, while eating the delicious food that Chen Ke prepared for him, he scolded Chen Ke: "You said that you will definitely convince His Majesty to let me participate in the war against Baiyue!"

"You promised this old man yourself!"

Wang Jian glanced at Li Si, who was sitting beside him, and said, "Prime Minister Li, you were there back then."

"Could it be that the two of you teamed up to deceive the old man?"

Li Si quickly shook his head: "The old general's words have wronged me, I am not with this little fox."

Speaking of this, Li Si looked at Chen Ke with a straight face and asked, "I said, Chen Ke, what did you agree to let the old general go to the Baiyue campaign? Why are you going back on your word now?"

"The old general is the pillar of the Qin Dynasty. How dare you deceive him?"

"Aren't you afraid that His Majesty will cut you down?"

"Or are you not afraid that General Wang Ben will come all the way from Penglai Island to fight you with his sword when he hears about this?"

Chen Ke looked wronged: "Old General Wang, Prime Minister Li, you really wronged me."

He said helplessly: "I did agree to the old general, and I did convince His Majesty that the imperial decree is here. That's right."

Wang Jian was extremely angry: "Look at what it says!"

"Another month later, I will lead the food and go to Kuaiji County to escort the food. When I arrive in Kuaiji County, the battle is almost over!"

"Don't think I don't know what that artillery piece you guys brought out is what it is."

"It's so powerful that a single shot can blow open the gates of the city, let alone those barbarians in Baiyue?"

"So by the time I get there, I guess the fight will be over long ago!"

Hearing Wang Jian's angry voice, Chen Ke said with a playful smile: "Old General, I promise, when you arrive, the battle must not be over yet."

"You still need to recruit generals, appease the enemy, reorganize the military, and a series of things."

"The war is not over when you agree to it. There are many other things that follow. In other words, winning or losing is not the whole of the war. Winning or losing is only guaranteed. Who can speak."

"That's all"

Wang Jian looked at Chen Ke with a gloomy expression, and said softly, "Boy Chen, have you already made up your mind?"

"Just to deceive the old man, an old man?"

He said a little lonely: "I know that you are all for my own good, and you also know what the consequences will be if I die on the way."

"But the old man's deadline is approaching. If you don't go to the battlefield this time, I'm afraid you won't have a chance in the future. You can only lie on the sick bed and die."

Wang Jian looked at Chen Ke and said, "I, Wang Jian, have devoted my whole life to the country and the people, and devoted myself to the Great Qin. I never considered my own gains or losses."

"Could it be that His Majesty just wants a promise before death?"

Seeing Wang Jian so sad, Chen Ke couldn't hide it.

He could only sigh and said: "Old General Wang, don't be arrogant. If anyone in this world can say for sure about your lifespan, then it's the Imperial Physician Ling Xia Wuqi, and it's me."

Chen Ke's expression was equally serious: "Xia Wuqie and I have already felt your pulse. Your pulse is strong and powerful, and nothing will happen."

"In addition, this attack on East Vietnam is different from any previous war."

"His "training" nature is more important than his "offensive" nature. "

"We have to go step by step. There are many miasmas in Baiyue, and there are more blood-sucking bugs in Dongyue along the coast."

"We have no way to control this disease for the time being, even for me."

"So we need to transform Baiyue's environment while attacking Baiyue. This is one of the reasons why a large amount of cement will be shipped to Zhongmou in the past few days, and then wait in Zhongmou."

"We take every step at a time, and we don't rush for it."

"Cut down and burn one side of the forest, we will occupy a piece of forest, and then set up camp there to build an environment."

"Afterwards, explore the surroundings. When the surrounding exploration is large enough, we will start to try to build a city there! After that, we will use the city as a base to erode Baiyue step by step."

Chen Ke held Wang Jian's hand. The wrinkles on these hands had been repaired, and they had experienced countless trials and hardships in their life.

"Old general, this is not so much a war as a political conspiracy."

"So, when I let you play, it's when we really need to fight."

"Now, leave those useless political struggles and some small fights to me, Zhang Han and the others. You have worked hard for Daqin all your life, shouldn't you rest?"

Wang Jian was confused, but nodded.

Chen Ke's words have come to this point, and he really should listen. After all, he can't play hooligans just because he is old.

Left and right Chen Ke has also made it clear that when the time comes for a real decisive battle, the matter will be handed over to him.

In the middle of spring, I will be drunk for many days.

It was May again, time passed slowly this year, and the summer of the fourth year of Emperor Shihuang was long overdue.

After nearly half a month of issuance of the new coins, the people who came to exchange them slowly exchanged the excess cloth and Qin Banliang into copper coins, and some of the few people who had gold and silver at home had already exchanged them.

As for the officials of the imperial court, the officials have long been exchanged.

In other words, they were the first batch of people who exchanged Qin coins.

As the summer of the first emperor's four years is approaching, it is finally time to harvest some of the things planted last year.

There was excitement in Chen Ke's eyes. He stood in the field and watched the vegetables and spices, or seasonings gradually growing in the field. The excitement in his heart was almost beyond words.

He turned his head, looked at Feng Jie and Zhisu Neili who were standing beside him, and said with emotion in his tone, "You are really good."

"It's just how did you come up with this idea?"

Chen Ke stretched out his hand and pointed to the sheds in the ground with curiosity in his tone.

Both Zhi Su Nei Li and Feng Jie turned their heads and looked at a young man standing behind him. There was a smile on the corner of the young man's mouth, and he looked honest and honest.

In fact, Han Ping is indeed a simple and honest person.

What he looked at was not Chen Ke, but the things in the ground. Farming was what he loved the most in his life.

and none of them.

Zhisu Neili quietly stretched out his hand to touch the young man, and the young man came to his senses, looked at Chen Ke respectfully and said: "Return to the Prime Minister, I heard from Zhi Su Nei that you once said that this thing It needs a warm environment to grow."

"Afterwards, I was thinking, how can we create a warm environment?"

"Just at this time, the Manufacturing Department and others produced something called "glass", and I was thinking that if I used colored glaze to make a small shed, it would be completely sealed. "

"In this way, the heat source can be guaranteed while ensuring sufficient light."

The young man scratched his head: "Actually, I feel that this matter is not the best way. Since the prime minister said it, there must be a better way."

"It's just that time is urgent, so we can only use this method for the time being. It took a lot of manpower and material resources, and this is how to get out some of the peppers and other spices you mentioned."

He sighed: "Actually, I think that the spices and some food produced in this way are much higher than the original value, and it is a waste of money."

Chen Ke was taken aback when he heard this, and then reacted.

Chili peppers and some spices originally came from the Western Regions, and chili peppers came from the Yin Shang continent. The climate there is tropical, so it should be planted after spring, that is, around April, May, and June. .

Especially now, because there is no greenhouse.

Chen Ke thought of this, and smiled dumbly. Why did he forget the greenhouse technology?
He said why there are few vegetables, melons and fruits in winter.

The reason is in this little detail.

Immediately looking at the young man, he said, "I took out this batch of spices to see if the seeds from the Western Regions can survive, because their planting period is coming."

"If you can't survive, you must snatch survivable seeds from the Western Regions as soon as possible."

"As for the method you said that can replace your method without spending a lot of manpower and financial resources, I have it."

He looked at the young man with a smile and said, "Are you willing to enter my academy and learn the method of 'greenhouse' in this 'agronomy'? "
