The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

Chapter 190

"Sir, you can find my second uncle after you leave the palace in the afternoon." Zhao Yao told Mr. Xiao the address of Liang Run's residence, "My second uncle knows the specific situation at the Yangshengtang, you can go and ask My second uncle."

"it is good."

"Sir, if you have any suggestions, you can tell my second uncle directly." Zhao Yao suddenly thought of another thing, and said to Mr. Xiao, "Sir, you should know about the friendship between Da Zhou and Wusun, right?"

Mr. Xiao nodded slightly and said, "I know."

"I suggest that my second uncle use this matter to do business, and sell good things in the capital, such as tea, cloth, and porcelain, to Wusun for sale, and then sell Wusun's fur, medicinal materials, spices, etc. Bring sheep and horses back to the capital to sell."

"I asked my second uncle to open a shop in Wusun to sell things from the capital. Then I opened a shop in the capital to sell things from Wusu. What do you think of this idea?"

After hearing this, Mr. Xiao showed a surprised expression on his always stern face.

Seeing Mr. Xiao's surprised look, Zhao Yao hurriedly asked, "Sir, what's the matter, is my arrangement wrong?"

"No, very good, very right." Mr. Xiao recovered from his daze and said, "I just didn't expect you to do business."

Zhao Yao waved his hand and said, "I don't know how to do business. I just offered some suggestions. The one who really knows how to do business is my second uncle." He said with a smug smile, "You probably don't know that my grandfather's family has been in business for generations. , can be regarded as a well-known businessman in Yangzhou. Both my uncles are experts in business."

Mr. Xiao said: "So that's the case." Mr. Xiao didn't go to know about Zhao Yao's ancestral home.All he knew was that Liang Zhaoyi was not from a high family background.

"My second uncle wrote back to Yangzhou some time ago, asking my grandfather to send a few trustworthy clansmen to help him in the capital." Zhao Yao thought for a while and said, "If you count the days, the people sent by my grandfather will almost arrive in the capital. When they arrive in the capital , my second uncle will take them to Wusun."

Mr. Xiao was surprised: "To Wusun?"

"Yes, Second Uncle wants to open a store in Wusun, so naturally he will go to Wusun to inspect it." Zhao Yao said, "Sir, if you have anything you want, you can ask Second Uncle to bring it back for you."

Mr. Xiao nodded lightly and said, "I will consider it."

"It's a pity that I can't go to Wusun, otherwise I really want to go there and see the customs and customs there." Zhao Yao once again disliked his identity as a prince in his heart.As a prince, he is indeed honorable, but he is not as free as others.Ordinary people can go wherever they want, but he even needs a token to leave the palace.

"I want to see it too." Mr. Xiao traveled to many places when he was young, saw many local customs and habits, and learned a lot.As the saying goes, it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books.At that time, he also wanted to visit the northern border, preferably to countries near the northern border, but because of the war at that time, he couldn't go to these countries at all.

"It's a pity, sir, you have to stay in the palace to teach, otherwise you can go and have a look with my second uncle and the others." Zhao Yao's eyes flicked and he thought of a good idea. "Sir, you can ask my father for leave, and then take me to Wusun, which is called traveling thousands of miles." If you take him to Wusun, the stinky father should agree.

Mr. Xiao was amused by Zhao Yao's idea: "The emperor will allow me to ask for leave, but he will not allow me to take you to Wusun. After all, you are still young. You are young and cannot bear the long journey. living."

Zhao Yao pouted slightly and said, "Sir, I'm not that delicate."

"It's not a matter of being weak or not. Even adults can't bear to travel long distances, let alone children." Mr. Xiao said with a serious expression, "Also, people who go there for the first time may not be acclimatized. .”

"Unacceptable?" Zhao Yao squeezed his chin and said, "It's possible."

"Besides, didn't you suffer from a serious illness last year? Your body is not suitable for long-distance travel." Mr. Xiao's tone sounded as if he was coaxing Zhao Yao, "When you grow up, it will not be too late to go to Wusun .”

"Sir, are you going to Wusun with my second uncle this time?"

"Forget it this time." Mr. Xiao really wanted to visit Wusun, but now is not the time, "I'd better stay in the palace and teach you how to read."

"If you want to do business with people from Wusun, you'd better be careful. After all, you are foreigners, so you can't trust them all."

Zhao Yao nodded and said, "Naturally, otherwise Second Uncle and the others wouldn't have gone to Wusun to have a look first."

"I don't know much about Wusun, so I won't make any suggestions." Mr. Xiao decided to look through books about Wusun later.

"Actually, the most important reason why I let my second uncle and the others go to Wusun to do business is to buy horses there."

"Horses?" Mr. Xiao was slightly surprised, and immediately understood Zhao Yao's intention, "The horses over there are good, you can buy some."

"I plan to buy more breeds and horses to breed and breed with our Dazhou horses to see if I can breed good horses." Zhao Yao said seriously, "Also, Wusun is very close to Dawan, let's see Can you buy a hard-earned BMW?"

"Sweat and blood BMWs are too precious, I'm afraid it's not easy to buy." Mr. Xiao said, "As far as I know, there are not many sweat and blood BMWs in Dazhou."

"My plan is to let the second uncle do business in Wusun first, and then go to several countries around Wusun to do business after getting familiar with it." Zhao Yao said, "Sweaty horses are precious, but I I think Dawan should need some things from our Dazhou, and they can be traded at that time."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Xiao said with a surprised face: "You still want to send people to Dawan and other countries to do business?"

Zhao Yao winked at Mr. Xiao and said, "I want to form a team to go to the Western Regions."

Mr. Xiao laughed and said, "This is a very good and bold idea."

"Sir, isn't there a saying that wealth and wealth are sought in danger?" Zhao Yao said with a smile, "I want to form a professional team to do business in various countries in the Western Regions."

"It's not an easy thing to do."

"Sir, nothing is easy to do at the beginning." Zhao Yao continued, "I want to arrange some students in this team."

"Student?" Mr. Xiao didn't understand why the student was arranged, and asked with a puzzled face, "What do you arrange the student for?"

"Let them learn the culture of the countries in the Western Regions, and then spread our culture." Zhao Yao said, and suddenly smiled meaningfully, "Let the people of the countries in the Western Regions learn our Confucian culture, and then influence them."

He smiled slyly again: "It's not probation, it's assimilation. Our Confucian culture is most suitable for assimilation, isn't it?"

In addition to Confucianism, there are hundreds of cultures such as Taoism, Legalism, Yin-Yangism, and Mohism in this world, but Confucianism stands out among the hundreds of cultures. The most important reason is that Confucianism is most suitable for rulers to manage the country.

"Another point is that the cultures of the countries in the Western Regions are not as splendid and rich as ours, nor as advanced as ours. They have always respected our culture and are proud to learn our culture. Wouldn't it be great to send students to promote our culture? ?”

Mr. Xiao was so startled, he couldn't believe that Zhao Yao was only six years old.

"It was very good."

"There is another purpose, which is to collect intelligence over there, especially about the Huns." Zhao Yao frowned when he mentioned the Huns, and his face became a little dignified. A scourge, and a very dangerous scourge, they must be dealt with, otherwise the border in the north of Dazhou will never be peaceful."

Mr. Xiao gasped in shock: "You want to collect information?" Is this really the idea of ​​a six-year-old child?

"Well, sir, do you know that the newly emerged Maodun is a man with means and ability. He has swallowed two or three tribes in a row." Zhao Yao said, "Maybe he may unify the various tribes of the Huns, Then restore the status of the Xiongnu royal court, and then the Xiongnu will definitely go south to invade the Great Zhou."

Mr. Xiao has not heard about the new Modu Shanyu.He hurriedly asked, "What's going on with this new Maodundan?"

"Sir, have you not heard?"

Mr. Xiao shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of it."

"Then I'll talk to you carefully." Zhao Yao told Mr. Xiao in detail what he knew about Xin Modun Chanyu.

After hearing this, Mr. Xiao's expression became heavy.

"No wonder the court wants to make friends with Wusun."

"This Xin Maodun Shanyu is a troublesome person. I intuitively feel that he is not so easy to deal with." Zhao Yao guessed that Emperor Wu of Zhou must have done something after learning about Xin Maodun Shanyu, but Xin Maodun Shanyu should have done something. Not so easy to deal with.Perhaps in the past few years, Xin Maodun Shanyu will not go south, but in a few years, or ten years later, Xin Maodun Shanyu will definitely go south.

It is impossible for the Huns to give up the "fat" of Dazhou.Even if they couldn't eat the "fat meat" of Da Zhou in one bite, the Xiongnu would bite down hard.

This mouthful might cause a lot of damage to the northern territory of Dazhou, so we have to guard against it!
"The so-called know yourself, know your enemy, and win a hundred battles. I want to send people to collect information about the Huns." When it comes to collecting information, he has two plans.The first plan is to train his bird friends to help him collect all kinds of intelligence.Asking bird friends to gather intelligence is not only safe, but also very reliable.

The second plan is to establish an organization dedicated to collecting intelligence, and then send members of the organization to various places to inquire about information.

The first plan is easier for him.The second plan is a bit difficult at present, because it requires a lot of people, and someone needs to teach them.

Although he is a prince, he has no contact with people who inquire about the news, nor does he know anyone in this area, and he can't find anyone to teach him in this area for the time being.

There must be people around the stinky father who specialize in inquiring about news, but he can't ask the stinky father for this kind of person.On the grandfather's side, there are people who specialize in inquiring about news, but what they inquire about are all business news, not national affairs.There are also many types of detailed work, which cannot be generalized.

"I also plan to send people to the Huns to do business."

Mr. Xiao was surprised by Zhao Yao's bold idea.With an unbelievable expression on his face, he exclaimed, "You still want to send people to do business with the Huns?"

"Yes! Only by doing business with the Huns can we get more information about the Huns!" Zhao Yao grinned and smiled, showing his neat teeth, "Sir, there is only money in this world, and no one will refuse it, and so do the Huns. People, not gods, will not refuse money!"

Zhao Yao shook his index finger and said, "Money can turn ghosts, this sentence is also useful to the Huns!"

Mr. Xiao was terrified.

"As far as I know, the life of the Huns has not been easy in the past ten or twenty years." Zhao Yao heard Liang Zhaoyi talk about the Huns before, "They have been fighting among themselves for these years, and natural disasters have continued in recent years. The people of the tribe don’t have enough to eat. If we do business with them, they will be very willing.”

"What the Xiongnu lack most is grain and salt. We can trade grain and salt with them, of course we must control the amount of grain and salt." Zhao Yao didn't notice Mr. Xiao's strange look at him, and continued on his own, "Don't worry about food and salt. Yangzhou, where my grandfather lives, is the most indispensable of these two things. We can use these two things to lure the Huns. Of course, we also need to give them money to let them fall step by step. The unconscious are controlled by us. In this way, we can get more information out of their mouths."

"People from the various tribes of the Huns are very selfish. They regard each other as rivals and are unwilling to merge. It is most appropriate to use money to provoke them."

"The most important thing is that the Huns are barbaric, greedy, and selfish. It is most appropriate to lure and control them with money." Zhao Yao raised the corners of his mouth, showing a calculating smile, "Feed them with food and money first, and then stop suddenly. I will definitely not be able to bear it, and then I will take the initiative to send myself to the door."

Mr. Xiao was very shocked when he heard it, and his expression became more and more astonished.At the same time, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back unconsciously.

"Of course, the money must be controlled. You can't feed the Huns too much, otherwise it will make their ambitions more and more inflated, and then they will be sent south in advance." Zhao Yao rubbed his chin and continued to talk to himself, " It’s best to do business with important people from various tribes, so that it’s easy to get information. It’s definitely not possible to use money at the beginning, but it should be possible to use the words of beauties.”

"For a beauty...you can't be an ordinary beauty, you have to train a beauty to be an excellent craftsman, so that it can play a role..."

These things came out of Zhao Yao's whim, not planned by him long ago, so now he is thinking about it and perfecting it at the same time.

Mr. Xiao was dumbfounded listening to Zhao Yao's words.

"If you use beauties to do the fine work, the second uncle should understand and let the second uncle do it." Zhao Yao said again, "In addition to beauties, you have to use beautiful men. The women on the Huns should like our men in Yushu Linfeng in the Central Plains."

Mr. Xiao: "!!!!!!"

"I have been thinking about it for a while, and then I will write a detailed plan and give it to my second uncle when Xiumu leaves the palace next time." Having said that, Zhao Yao showed a distressed look on his face, " It will cost a lot of money, it seems that we need to make good money first. By the way, we need a lot of people, and these people are hard to find..."

Mr. Xiao had a storm in his heart: Is this... this... is it really a six-year-old child's idea?
The wisdom of the Tenth Highness is really amazing!
Zhao Yao suddenly found that Mr. Xiao didn't speak, so he stopped talking to himself, and looked up at Mr. Xiao.Seeing Mr. Xiao's stunned expression, he hurriedly asked with concern: "Sir, what's the matter with you?"

Mr. Xiao came back to his senses, but the look he looked at Zhao Yao was still very shocking.

"Your Highness, you..."

"Sir, what's wrong with me?" Zhao Yao felt like a monster in Mr. Xiao's eyes at the moment, "Sir, did I scare you?"

Mr. Xiao said very frankly: "I'm scared."

"Where did I scare you? Did I say something scary?" Zhao Yao thought about it carefully, and the words he said just now were normal and not scary at all.

"Your Highness, your intelligence is beyond my imagination." The Tenth Highness is not only extremely intelligent, but also very scheming and cunning.This kind of scheming is not what a six-year-old child should have, but what a wily man has.

What frightened him the most was the way the Tenth Highness used to deal with the Xiongnu. This was no ordinary person, no, even the resourceful ministers in the court could not have imagined it.

It's amazing!Really amazing!
"Sir, are you complimenting me?"

"Well, I'm praising you!" Mr. Xiao asked in surprise, "How did you come up with these schemes?"

"Just thought of it."

"I just thought of it? Didn't I think about it early in the morning?"

"No, I thought of it when I told you about the Huns."

Mr. Xiao was dumbfounded.

"I have to go back and think about it carefully, and then tell my second uncle." Zhao Yao asked with a smile, "Sir, do you think what I just thought is feasible?"

Mr. Xiao calmed down and said, "It's possible!" Suddenly, this...Mr. Xiao suddenly thought of a word "more wisdom than demon". "However, the strategies you mentioned need to be carefully considered."

"That's for sure." For the things he said just now, all preparations must be made in advance.

"Your Highness, you are right to hide your clumsiness!" With the extraordinary intelligence and scheming of the Tenth Highness, if you don't hide your clumsiness, you will definitely be feared by other princes.Before he grows up, the other princes will definitely get rid of him first.

Zhao Yao didn't understand why Mr. Xiao said this suddenly, his face was full of confusion.

"Your Highness, your intelligence is too outstanding. If you don't hide your clumsiness, you will be better than Lin Feng." Mr. Xiao unconsciously used the honorific "you" to address Zhao Yao.

Zhao Yao was a little embarrassed by Mr. Xiao's praise.He picked his face and said, "Sir, you think highly of me, I'm just a little clever." Zhao Yao has never thought how smart he is, "Compared with my fourth brother and my eighth brother, my little cleverness is nothing .”

Seeing that Zhao Yao didn't know about his outstanding spiritual intelligence, Mr. Xiao was stunned for a while, and then smiled kindly: "Your Highness, why did you tell me these things?" really...

"Sir, you are not mine anymore, shouldn't I tell you?"

Mr. Xiao smiled and said, "That's right, I'm yours now."

"Sir, when you go out of the palace to see my second uncle this afternoon, tell my second uncle what I said just now, so that he can be prepared." When he leaves the palace next time, he will talk to his second uncle again. talk about.

"it is good."

"Sir, do you have any candidates for the accompanying students?"

"Not yet, I have to think about it."

"This matter is not urgent, you should think about it slowly." Zhao Yao said, "Let the second uncle and the others go to Wusun to do business first, and wait for the second uncle and the others to get familiar with the situation there, and then form a group to do business in the countries of the Western Regions." team."

"You still need an escort from the Escort." Mr. Xiao reminded, "Going to the countries of the Western Regions to do business will encounter various dangers, so you must be escorted by an experienced Escort."

Zhao Yao nodded and said, "It's natural, and local people are needed as guides. In short, this team needs a lot of people, so we have to arrange them well."

Mr. Xiao also only thinks about the escort of the Escort Bureau, and he can't think of other things for the time being, after all, he doesn't know much about business.

"By the way, sir, the accompanying students must be able to speak the languages ​​of the countries of the Western Regions, otherwise it would be useless to follow." The concubine mother knew several languages ​​of the countries of the Western Regions, and it seemed that he had to learn them too.Learning the languages ​​of several countries is not a bad thing.

Mr. Xiao suddenly found that he could not speak the languages ​​of those countries in the Western Regions.It seems that he has to learn the languages ​​of the countries in the Western Regions.

"There is a gentleman in the Taixue who studies Buddhist scriptures from countries in the Western Regions and knows the language there. Let me ask."

"Speaking of which, it seems that the DPRK and China have not set up a special place for learning the languages ​​​​of the countries in the Western Regions or the countries around southern Xinjiang."

"No, but there are some ministers in Lanyuan Pavilion who can speak Sanskrit." Mr. Xiao said, "There should be some ministers who can speak the language of the Huns or the language of Wusun."

"However, there are not many such people." Zhao Yao said thoughtfully, "We should cultivate talents in this field, so that we can better understand the countries of the Western Regions."

"You said so."

"Sir, you should suggest it to your father." Zhao Yao said, "It's not good for me to suggest it to my father. Your suggestion is the most appropriate."

Mr. Xiao understood Zhao Yao's concerns, "I will propose to the emperor."

"Mr. Trouble."

"Your Highness, you are too polite."

While talking, Tong Xi walked in and reminded Zhao Yao, "Your Highness, it's time for you to go to the martial arts arena."

Zhao Yao still has a lot to say to Mr. Xiao, but he has to go to the martial arts field to learn riding and archery.

"Sir, I'm leaving first, and I'll talk to you when I'm free."

Mr. Xiao told Zhao Yao the address of his home: "Your Highness, you can go to my home when you are taking a rest."

"I will definitely go." Zhao Yao stood up and said, "Sir, I will go first."

"Your Highness, go slowly." Mr. Xiao got up and sent Zhao Yao to the door.

He stood at the door, looking at the back of Zhao Yao bouncing away, feeling very complicated.

If he hadn't heard what the Tenth Highness said just now, he would have thought that the Tenth Highness was just a little smarter than ordinary children.However, through what he said just now, he discovered that His Highness's intelligence and scheming methods are too amazing, but His Highness is as innocent and cute as a real child.The Tenth Highness is really a contradictory child.

The Tenth Highness has such talent but has no ambition to fight for that seat. I really don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing.

　Sorry for the lateness.
