The ministers begged me to ascend the throne
Chapter 224 The Silk Road and Maritime Trade Have to Get Started
Zhao Yao didn't take Zheng Qian's words to recognize him as the master to heart.In his opinion, Zheng Qian was angry because he lost to him in chess.
He is just a six-year-old child who is not favored and has no ministers to support him. How could a genius like Zheng Qian choose him as the protagonist, unless his mind is broken.Besides, he is just an ordinary person, how can he be the protagonist of a genius.
It seems that he beat Zheng Qian in chess, which really hurt Zheng Qian.I hope that Zheng Qian can keep a low profile and be more honest in the future, and stop causing trouble for Zheng and them.
If it were him, with such a smart and troublesome younger brother, he would definitely be pissed off.Even if you don't die from anger, you will lose your life due to anger.
If it weren't for Zheng Rang's cooking and delicious snacks, he wouldn't meddle in his own business and agree to help.
After leaving Zheng's house, Zhao Yao didn't go to Li's house, but went directly to his second uncle's house.
Although Liang Run left with the caravan, Liang Guan, Uncle Zhang, and Dingyuan and Tongan lived there.
It was a coincidence that Zhao Yao came here.Shortly before he arrived at his second uncle's house, a letter from his second uncle arrived.
In Dazhou, there were post houses and bodyguard bureaus dedicated to delivering letters.The delivery speed of the official posthouse will be slower, and the delivery speed of the escort agency will be very fast.Liang Run asked the Escort to deliver the letter.
Liang Run had a lot of things to say, but he couldn't tell for a while when they delivered the letters. After all, the letters they sent were all small notes, and there was not much content written on them.
Seeing Zhao Yao coming, Liang Guan hurriedly handed the letter to him.
Seeing that it was a thick stack of letters, Zhao Yao exclaimed in his heart: Second Uncle, how many letters have been written.
He opened the letter and counted how many sheets of letter paper there were. There were twenty sheets, and each sheet was filled with writing.
Zhao Yao was shocked, thinking how many things the second uncle wanted to tell him, what happened when he went to Wusun.He didn't dare to delay any longer, and read the letter quickly.
When Liang Run and the others wrote to Zhao Yao, they had already arrived in Wusun for three days.He wrote down what they saw, heard, heard, and encountered during the three days in Wusun in detail and told Zhao Yao.
First of all, the An people did not lie to them.His relatives did raise a lot of horses, and these horses were very good, many of which were brought from the grasslands of the Xiongnu.Some of them were brought from other countries in the Western Regions.However, Wusun has no hard-earned horses.If you want sweat horses, you must go to Dawan.
The relatives of Anren's family saw that they came all the way to buy horses, and felt that they were very sincere.In addition, they bought a lot, and the relatives of An's family gave them a very cheap price.
In addition to raising horses, An's relatives also raised a lot of cattle and sheep.Liang Run bought some cattle and sheep from them, and asked people from the Escort Bureau to escort them back to Beijing.However, due to the long journey, some cattle and sheep may die or get sick on the way.Came back with the Escort, and the groom.It was given to them by relatives of An's family. Their groom is not only good at raising horses, but also training them.
Liang Run told Zhao Yao in the letter that the precious medicinal materials that are expensive in the capital are very cheap in Wusun, and there are a lot of them.He has already bought a lot, and when the time comes, he will ask the Escort Bureau to escort them back to Beijing.
The furs here in Wusun are very cheap. Rabbit, fox, wolf, tiger, and bear skins can be found everywhere, and they are not inferior to the furs that were brought as tribute to the palace.Liang Run also bought a lot, but he planned to bring them back by himself.
There are also all kinds of jerky sold locally. Liang Run knew that Zhao Yao liked to eat beef, so he bought a lot of jerky for him.I also bought some jerky tiger meat and jerky bear meat.
In Wusun, you can eat all kinds of meat, but there are no dishes here in Wusun.Liang Run teased in the letter that he wanted to bring the business of selling vegetables in the capital to Wusun, so that he would definitely make a lot of money.
Seeing this, Zhao Yao thought to himself: Second Uncle, you can let your people grow vegetables in Wusun and then sell them.
Liang Run also said that there are many spices here in Wusun, and these spices come from various countries in the Western Regions.However, the spices here are too rough and not as delicate as Da Zhou's.
Before going to Wusun, Liang Run bought a lot of spices from Dazhou, and after bringing them to Wusun, they were all robbed.People from Wusun and other countries in the Western Regions like things from the Central Plains very much.
In addition to spices, Liang Run also brought cloth, porcelain, books and other things to sell in Wusun.These things are very popular in Wusun, they just took out some stalls to sell, and they were quickly sold out.The local people also asked if they still had any more, and they were very happy to learn that they were going to open a store in Wusun to sell things from the Central Plains.Now the locals are waiting for Liang Run's store to open.
Zhao Yao calculated the time, now Liang Run and the others should open a store in Wusun.
In Wusun, in addition to Wusun people, there are many Central Plains people, and there are also many people from other countries in the Western Regions.In Liang Run's words, Wusun is a hodgepodge here, with everyone.
By the way, there are some Huns.They escaped to Wusun.As soon as Liang Run and the others arrived in Wusun, they heard a lot about the Xiongnu.
Not long ago, the new Maodun Chanyu failed to attack the Chulin tribe.
The Qiulin tribe joined forces with the Han tribe to resist the attack of the Xin Modun Chanyu, and severely hit the knights of the Xin Modun Shanyu.
The knights sent by Xin Modu Shanyu to attack the Chulin tribe were not the most elite knights under his command.He underestimated the Qiulin tribe and sent his second knight army to attack, but he did not expect to be hit hard by the Qiulin tribe and the Han tribe.
Not long after that, Xin Modun Shanyu sent his most elite knight army to attack the Chulin tribe again.This time, the Qiulin tribe also united with the Lang tribe, and the three tribes fought against the new Maodun Shanyu's army together and won a complete victory.
The new Modu Chanyu's army suffered heavy losses.He originally planned to attack the Qiulin tribe together with the Huyan tribe, Lan tribe and Xubu tribe he had recovered before.However, he did not expect the Huyan tribe to defect.
Fearing that the remaining Lan and Xubu tribes would defect, Xin Modun Shanyu had no choice but to temporarily give up his plan to attack the Qiulin tribe.He planned to capture the defected Huyan tribe.However, he didn't expect the Huyan tribe to go to cooperate with the Qiulin tribe.
The four alliances of the Qiulin tribe, the Han tribe, the Lang tribe, and the Huyan tribe posed a great threat to the new Maodun Shanyu.
When Liang Run wrote this letter, the four tribes of the Qiulin tribe were preparing to jointly attack the new Maodun Shanyu.
Seeing this, Zhao Yao murmured in his heart: I don't know if the four tribes of the Qiulin tribe have fought with the new Maodun Shanyu now.He hoped that the four tribes of the Chulin tribe could kill the new Modu Chanyu, so that the Huns would not have to be merged for the time being.However, Xin Maodun Shanyu has some abilities, so he should not be killed easily.
I hope they can fight this battle for a long time, and it is best to fight with both sides, so that all tribes of the Huns can be honest for a while, and the border of Dazhou can be safe for a while.
Liang Run told Zhao Yao in the letter that other countries in the Western Regions also had the idea of making friends with Da Zhou after seeing Wusun and Da Zhou, but they are still holding a wait-and-see attitude.They were afraid that the Great Zhou would be the same as the previous Xia Dynasty.
Seeing this, an idea suddenly popped into Zhao Yao's mind.In the dream, there was a Silk Road in the history of Zhao Yao's world, and it was also with the Western Regions.
Zhao Yao stroked his chin with a thoughtful expression. Maybe Da Zhou could build a Silk Road and make good friends with the countries in the Western Regions. Not only would he be able to make money, but he could also jointly guard against the Huns.
However, before building the Silk Road, let the second uncle and his caravan go to do business with countries in the Western Regions, to show the goodwill and sincerity of the Dazhou people to the countries in the Western Regions.In this way, countries in the Western Regions will be particularly happy to make friends with Da Zhou in the future, and then work together to build a Silk Road of mutual help.
Speaking of the Silk Road with countries in the Western Regions, Zhao Yao thought of the Maritime Silk Road.
The benefits of the Maritime Silk Road are even greater.If you want to engage in the Silk Road, you must first have a fleet.
You have to build a ship, and then organize a fleet to go to sea and trade with various countries on the seashore, just like Zheng He's voyage to the West in Zhao Yao's world in his dream.
The fleet must be built, and the Western Ocean must also be launched.He had to think carefully about this matter.
Zhao Yao decided to write a letter to his uncle first, inquiring carefully about the situation in Qingzhou and the situation in the sea area in Qingzhou.
By the way, I have to ask my uncle to send him some birds from Qingzhou, so that he can ask the birds from Qingzhou about the situation in the sea area there.
This matter must be done immediately.
It would be great if he could go to Qingzhou in person, but unfortunately he is still a child, and his stinky father doesn't allow him to go.
Wait, he can go secretly.
No, if the concubine mother knew that he had secretly gone to Qingzhou, when he came back from Qingzhou, he would definitely be beaten to death by the concubine mother and the stinky father.
Are the people in Yangzhou very good at building a fleet?There are many rivers and many boats.
"Uncle Eight, does the Liang family have their own fleet?"
"Yes, the Liang family has quite a fleet." Hearing Zhao Yao's question, Liang Guan asked curiously, "Your Highness, what do you need the fleet for?"
"Does the Liang family have a fleet at sea?"
"Fleet at sea?" Liang Guan shook his head, "No. Your Highness, you should know that the sea has been banned since the previous dynasty, and now Dazhou is still banning the sea."
Zhao Yao didn't think of this, "Da Zhou didn't abolish the Forbidden Sea?"
"No, but those places by the sea secretly communicated with those Gentiles."
"Why are there so many foreigners in Qingzhou?" Zhao Yao wondered, "How can those foreigners come to Qingzhou to do business?"
"I'm not sure about this. As far as I know, Qingzhou has always been like this." Liang Guan said, "Those foreigners can only go to Qingzhou, and cannot go to other places outside Qingzhou."
"How is this going?"
"I don't know."
"Ask when I return to the palace." Is there anything special about Qingzhou?
He had to tell He Xiang and Taishi Liu that this sea could no longer be restricted, and the sea area had to be opened, so that in the future, a fleet of ships could be established to sail to the Western Seas and the Maritime Silk Road established.
"Eight Uncle, how is the Liang family's fleet? Is it powerful?"
"The Liang family's fleet is well-known in Yangzhou, so it should be considered quite powerful."
"Is there anyone in the Liang family who is good at shipbuilding?"
Liang Guan replied: "Yes, Your Highness, do you need shipbuilders?"
"I want to build a fleet at sea, and then go to do business with countries by the sea..." Zhao Yao briefly told Liang Guan about his establishment of a fleet at sea.
After hearing this, Liang Guan said with a shocked face: "Your Highness, the second brother is right. You are a business genius. If you weren't for Your Highness, you would definitely be able to make the Liang family's business the best in the world." Maritime trade is really... amazing. "However, Your Highness, the Great Zhou banned the sea."
"Now that I know, I will find a way to get my father to abolish the Forbidden Sea." Zhao Yao said, "We can do some business in Qingzhou first."
"Your Highness, what do you mean?"
"It's like the second uncle and the others went to Wusun to open a shop." Zhao Yao said, raising his hand and patting his forehead, "I didn't think of this before, it was really a mistake."
"Your Highness, this is a good idea."
"I'll write a letter to my grandfather later, and another letter to my uncle, and let them arrange it." He actually forgot how to make money by maritime trade.
"Your Highness, it's best to let uncle and the others go to Soochow to find some people who can build ships at sea." Liang Guan suggested, "There are many places in Soochow that are close to the sea, and the people there live by the sea and often go to sea. Fishing, they should be good at building boats at sea."
"You are right. Boats on rivers are different from boats on sea. You must find someone who is familiar with boats on sea."
"Your Highness, it takes a lot of money to build a fleet," Liang Guan reminded.
"I know that the uncle and the second uncle should make a lot of money, and they should be able to do so by then." Zhao Yao said with a smile, "It's not like building a fleet at sea right away, this matter has to be worked out gradually. "
"It's good that your highness knows it in your heart." Liang Guan marveled in his heart, is your highness really only six years old?
His Highness has done so many things, what a six-year-old child can do, even a 66-year-old cannot.
Zhao Yao didn't speak any more, and continued to read the letter Liang Run wrote to him.
Liang Run wrote a lot of delicacies from Wusun and other countries in the Western Regions in the letter, making Zhao Yao's mouth water.
I really want to visit Wusun, but it's a pity that he can't go before he grows up.
Liang Run told Zhao Yao at the end of the letter that they met with the people arranged by He Lianfang.Next, He Lianfang's people will take them to other countries.
He also said that Wusun and other countries in the Western Regions worship the Central Plains culture very much, and they want to learn the Central Plains culture.The books they brought were regarded as treasures by the people there.
Seeing this, Zhao Yao thought it was true.Then his plan will definitely work in the future.
After Zhao Yao finished reading the letter, he handed the letter to Liang Guan for him to read.He went to write letters to his grandfather and uncle.Of course, write back to Liang Run.
"Your Highness, where do we put the cattle, horses and sheep bought by the second brother, the villa in Dahua Village?" Liang Guan said, "I'm afraid the villa in Dahua Village can't raise so many cattle, horses and sheep."
"Didn't my father reward me with a mountain villa some time ago? On the southern outskirts of the capital, the land and mountains belong to me." Zhao Yao originally planned to buy another piece of land, but he didn't expect that Emperor Wu of Zhou would reward him with a mountain villa. This saves him money to buy land. "At that time, the cattle, horses and sheep will be directly sent there to raise."
"By the way, you can go and have a look at the villa in the southern suburbs."
"Your Highness, are you worried about that side?"
"No, there's nothing wrong with that village. I'll let you go over there to see if there's anything else you need to buy." Zhao Yao said, "The fields on the other side of the villa are also all mine. In addition to growing food, I also want to grow some other things. thing."
Liang Guan understood Zhao Yao's meaning, and said seriously: "In a few days, I'll go over and take a closer look."
Zhao Yao suddenly thought of the things he asked his uncle to ask those foreigners to look for, but there is still no news about them.When will you be able to find potatoes, sweet potatoes, peppers, etc.
Zhao Yao didn't speak any more, and continued to write letters.After writing the letter, Liang Guan helped him deliver the letter to the Escort Bureau.
When writing a reply to Liang Run, Zhao Yao asked him if he had bought Costin or a golden eagle for him, and he was still waiting.
Although Ling Yun listened to him, but Ling Yun was his father's Hai Dongqing, he couldn't keep bothering Ling Yun to deliver letters for him, he had to have his own Hai Dongqing or a golden eagle to deliver letters.
When he was still replying to the letter, he asked Liang Run to look for something called cotton in the Western Regions, and he specially drew the appearance of cotton.
Cotton is a good thing, but it must not be missed.
There is one more tonight.
Old irons, monthly tickets and comments are the driving force for my codeword update, please leave more comments.
He is just a six-year-old child who is not favored and has no ministers to support him. How could a genius like Zheng Qian choose him as the protagonist, unless his mind is broken.Besides, he is just an ordinary person, how can he be the protagonist of a genius.

Although Ling Yun listened to him, but Ling Yun was his father's Hai Dongqing, he couldn't keep bothering Ling Yun to deliver letters for him, he had to have his own Hai Dongqing or a golden eagle to deliver letters.
When he was still replying to the letter, he asked Liang Run to look for something called cotton in the Western Regions, and he specially drew the appearance of cotton.
Cotton is a good thing, but it must not be missed.
There is one more tonight.
Old irons, monthly tickets and comments are the driving force for my codeword update, please leave more comments.
