Daqin: When I return from sea, I will offer you a map of the world

Chapter 493: The Huns want to make peace? Zhao Si’s tyranny!

"Sure enough, talents are not that easy to find..."

In the palace, Zhao Si rubbed his eyebrows and sighed as he looked at the memorials piled up in front of him.

Because of the recruitment order, scholars all over the world flocked to him. In order to recruit talents, Zhao Si adopted a meritocratic approach and asked Han Sheng to take charge of the examination of 100 people in the mansion every day.

Prepare pens, ink, paper and inkstones so that everyone can freely write a memorial, and then send it to Zhao Si for review. After writing, they will also give a meal.

There were banquets held every day, which cost money like water. There were not enough diners in Zhao Si's mansion, so Zhao Si's brother Jicheng also helped organize the banquets. Zhao Si himself almost guaranteed to read a hundred articles a day.

He now regrets providing the paper...

This thing is much more comfortable to write than bamboo slips. Who are the people who have stepped into Zhao Si's threshold?

Those are all people who think they have unappreciated talents and have no one to express their ambitions...

Zhao Si was courteous and virtuous to them and had a bright future. Isn't he a proper hero in this era? So when I got paper, a carrier that is easy to write on, I couldn't write with all my strength. I just wanted to write out all my thoughts.

Who told Zhao Si to provide unlimited paper?

"Sure enough, hydrography is something that cannot be avoided after the writing vehicle is upgraded..."

For Zhao Si, this is just a recruitment order, but for many people, this may be their only chance in this life, so Zhao Si cannot be too harsh.

On the one hand, hydrology has caused a serious increase in workload, and on the other hand, Zhao Si has really not found any decent talents in the past few days.

If we say that among them, there are indeed some who are talented enough to be officials, and they are not too few.

Even if Zhao Si's requirements are relatively strict, the average admission level can reach about one-twentieth.

Coupled with other miscellaneous talents, such as horse breeding, medical practice, curious and obscene skills, the total admission rate can reach nearly one tenth.

The admission was accepted, but obviously this group of people still needs to go through training.

However, the talent of Wang Zuo, whom Zhao Si had pinned his hopes on, did not appear for a long time.

However, it has only been a few days and it has not really reached its climax yet, so Zhao Si is not in a hurry.

"Your Highness, Li Shiqi has arrived..." While Zhao Si was deep in thought, Qian, the commander of the CRRC Mansion, bowed and spoke.

"Huh? Are you back? Call me quickly!" Zhao Si put down the memorial in his hand and said.

In a short time, Li Shiqi entered the palace under the leadership of Qian.

The clothes looked a little shabby and frayed, and the hair, although neat, was very dry and dusty.

"How come it's so fast? No need to be polite, sit down quickly." Zhao Si glanced at Li Shiqi's weathered face and said.

After Li Shiqi bowed and saluted, he sat down and said, "At that time, I was on a mission to the Xiongnu. After receiving the order from His Highness, I immediately turned back and traveled all the way to Guanzhong. I was afraid of missing His Highness's important event, so I did not dare to delay. Day and night It's both good and bad, and it's a bit windy and frosty, making His Highness laugh."

The art of speaking lies in this. Cao Cao turned down his bed to welcome him, and Li Shiqi turned back under the starry night. Regardless of whether it is a show or not, showing it will indeed make people feel comfortable.

False and treacherous ministers, flattering and corrupt in front of you...

A true sycophant is upright and works endlessly in front of you, which makes people feel sad to see them.

Zhao Si gradually adapted to his status as a superior. He knew that this kind of thing would be inevitable in the future, so he didn't mind.

But to say the least, with Li Shiqi's character, he wouldn't be too careful in a place like this.

After all, he was a man of great righteousness who sacrificed his life for charity and risked his life to give Liu Bang an excuse to send troops.

"As an envoy to the Huns? Did you delay things by returning in such a hurry?" Zhao Si asked.

In ancient times, there were no telephones or text messages. It was basically impossible to get timely news in such a far-distance place.

"The mutual trade agreement has been roughly agreed upon when I received the order from His Highness. There was no delay. However, Mao Dun has a request. I cannot make the decision, so I still need to report it to His Highness. Your Highness will decide whether to report it to Your Majesty." Li Shiqi He spoke.

"What request?" Zhao Si looked at Li Shiqi curiously.

"Well, after the mutual trade negotiations were over, Mao Dun hosted a banquet for me. He mentioned that he wanted to sign an alliance, marry the princess of Da Qin, and form a kingdom for father and son. In addition, he also bribed me with a large sum of money, but I did not dare to accept it privately. All Yiying Jinxin's property has been sealed and handed over to the Great Qin Treasury." Li Shiqi said.

"What did I bribe you with?" Zhao Si asked with a smile.

"Twenty beauties, three thousand gold, three hundred pieces of silk..."

Li Shiqi opened his mouth and spoke out a long list of gifts.

"The money invested is enough, what do you think?" Zhao Si knocked on the table.

"A covenant can be signed, or it can be agreed that it will be the kingdom of father and son, but the specific treaty must be made by Da Qin. At present, Da Qin has expanded its territory too much, and it will take a long time to operate. However, we cannot completely believe Mao Dun's words. Now the Yuezhi has been destroyed, and Donghu has split into Xianbei and Wuheng, both are worried about Qin's attack and Xiongnu encroachment, and are in constant panic. Your Highness can send envoys to Wuheng and Xianbei, and envoys to Qin with protons, and accept them as a barrier to support Wuheng and Xianbei and suppress the Xiongnu." Li Shi opened his mouth. said.

"It's a good idea. I'm afraid the Xiongnu will not dare to go east again in a short time. The reason why they are willing to give up their originally fertile land and move westward is probably because they are preparing to place their strategic center in the Western Regions. That's why they plan to sign an alliance with Great Qin. The reason why Hengyu Xianbei has not been annexed by the Xiongnu until now is because the Xiongnu were worried that Qin would intervene...

Stabilize the east and plot the west...

Mao Dun is a hero..." Zhao Si knocked on the table.

"The land of the Western Region is quite important. Although Da Qin has ships that can sail around the world, people have two legs and cannot weigh one head. In the future, large-scale wars will not happen in a short time, but the battle will still continue. The land of the Western Region , Da Qin also wants to plot.

While the Qin Dynasty was stronger, the Huns were stronger than the nearby..." Zhao Si fell into deep thought.

"We might as well agree to Mo Dun's request to marry the Princess of Qin, and send the daughter of the clan to marry the Xiongnu. With the support of her natal family, the Qin Dynasty is powerful and can also interfere with the political changes of the Xiongnu in the future." Li Shiqi said.

"Let's get married..." Zhao Si rubbed his eyebrows.

What a distant word...

Thanks to some humiliating history, Zhao Si is very resistant to marriage.

But now that the position under the buttocks has changed, Zhao Si is naturally no longer the dumb guy.

In fact, whether a marriage is humiliating or not depends on the circumstances under which the marriage takes place.

The other party is a small country that can be destroyed in a matter of seconds. In the past, it was not an exaggeration to say that I wanted to become the Supreme Emperor.

If the natal family is strong, the woman who marries into the past will have status.

Regarding marriages between countries, as long as the natal family is strong enough, let alone interfering in the government affairs, it can even directly control the government affairs, interfere with the succession of the prince, and listen to the government behind the curtain. It is not a wishful thinking.

But if the natal family is weak, it will be a different situation.

When the Han Dynasty was weak, women who had married into the past were humiliated. If the Han Dynasty resisted a little, the princess would even be whipped day and night as punishment. But after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ascended the throne, he completely changed after being pressed to the ground and rubbed by the Xiongnu.

The natal family became stronger, and the status of the princesses was different from before.

After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, there were also marriages, but after the change of strength, all the countries in the Zhou Dynasty paid the highest respect to the princess.

In the prosperous Tang Dynasty, there was no shortage of marriage partners...

On the contrary, this was a method other than war in the Han and Tang Dynasties.

If a woman's natal family is strong, she will have status when she marries. Once she has status, she can engage in political warfare, divide the enemy from within, and even completely reduce the opponent to a vassal.

In fact, marriage has never been synonymous with humiliation.

The incompetence of the mother's family is humiliating.

The biggest joke is that when you go to the countryside, do as the Romans do. As long as your natal family is strong enough, even if you are sleeping with a single, you will have to come over respectfully and ask what you mean.

This is an extension method beyond the battlefield, but the decisive factor is ultimately force.

Is it similar to negotiation, an extension of force?

If the force is not strong enough, the glib tongue is a joke.

In the same way, if force is not strong enough, how can a marriage not be humiliating?

If you can really press him to the ground and rub him eight hundred times, and have the ability to destroy him at any time, if you marry a princess and go over to get married, the other party will even have to kneel down to greet you.

"Let's forget about the marriage and let Mao Dun send the protons to Xianyang... I happen to be short of a consort." Zhao Si thought for a while and said.

Thanks to a certain dynasty, although he knew that marriage was not a humiliating thing, Zhao Si still couldn't accept it.

Let the other party send protons over, and the effect will be quite different.

"That's okay...Maodun mainly wants to sign a covenant, and he won't refuse if he thinks about it." Li Shiqi nodded.

"But before sending the hostage, let Mao Dun first register the prince. The proton sent must be the prince." Zhao Si knocked on the table and said.

If he is not the crown prince, he is just a son to Mao Dun. Although a son is connected by blood, for such a person, there is nothing unacceptable about the death of a son.

Let's agree on the title first... If Mao Dun disobeys, Da Qin can change the monarch for them.

"I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort to get the prince to drive for someone else as a hostage." Li Shiqi smiled.

"It's not us who are so anxious, right?" Zhao Si smiled.

It is worth mentioning that the prince-in-law was only responsible for driving in this era.

As for the relationship between the prince-in-law and the emperor's son-in-law, that happened a long time ago.

"What His Highness said is absolutely true. The situation in the northwest has become clear now. As for the further western regions, it will be a few years later. It is just a matter of time." Li Shiqi nodded.

"Yes, that's why I asked you to come back from the Xiongnu. Now the land that can be eaten in the grassland has basically been eaten up. The land further away is a bit useless for the current Great Qin.

But the land of Liaodong is adjacent to Daqin, outside Liaodong. Jizi North Korea, Zhenfan, Gaoyi, and Baiyi were all once the territories of the Yan Kingdom. After the Qin Dynasty captured Liaodong, it focused on the Xiongnu and South Vietnam, so it had no time to visit eastward. Now the north and south are established, and there is a shipping and trade military palace. , giant ships that can sail the sea, soldiers who are good at sea combat, and the offshore area is also in my future plans, but these places have become places of great potential. "Zhao Si took out the map and said.

"I am far away in the Xiongnu and don't know much about this. I only heard that there was chaos in the East China Sea area. Now it has been pacified. Is there any military report from your highness..." Li Shiqi looked at the map to get a rough idea of ​​the direction and asked.

Zhao Si nodded and took out the prepared military report and handed it to Li Shiqi.

"In addition, I also ordered people to find the Yan Kingdom's collection of books and official documents about these places. They have been sorted out. You can take them back and have a look. There is no rush now. I will briefly tell you about the situation.

The current king of Jizi North Korea is Ji Zhun, whose talents are mediocre and not a serious problem.

What I'm worried about is the Wei family who was granted a title to the east of Liaodong. His family Wei Kou Weiman and his son were deeply trusted by Ji Zhun and were relied upon as a barrier by Ji Zhun. People who are not tolerated in the Central Plains are now quite powerful.

Ji Zhun was nothing more than a barbarian, and Ji Zi was nothing in Korea. However, the Wei family and his son were different. They were originally great nobles of the Yan Kingdom. Since the Qin Dynasty destroyed the six kingdoms, they have absorbed many nobles who fled from Yan and Zhao...

They have all the essence of the Central Plains in their hands. I am afraid that they may become a big trouble after they swallow up Jizi North Korea! "Zhao Si said.

Should it be said or not, although they were losers in the Seven Kingdoms War.

But placed in a barbarian land, he is really a talent.

Because they control a more advanced system and have a civilization that is beyond the reach of barbarians.

Advanced industrial technology, system, culture, this is an all-round attack. In fact, after Jizi Korea was reincarnated by their filthy soil, Wei clan Korea was established and destroyed Shinban, Gaoyi, Baiyi and other places at an extremely fast speed, becoming A serious problem for the Han Dynasty.

"Your Highness, do you mean that the Wei family has a disobedient heart?" Li Shiqi asked.

"It's obvious, otherwise why would they absorb the fleeing people?"

If they really wanted to flee, why did the Wei family and his son take such a big risk?

Moreover, it has been confirmed in history that the Wei clan will destroy Jizi Korea.

Moreover, those who followed the Wei family were all nobles from the Central Plains.

Can they really tolerate that group of alien barbarians overtaking them?

This group of people would rather leave the Central Plains than accept the rule of Great Qin.

"Hmm...that's it..." Li Shiqi looked down at Junzou and fell into deep thought.

"That minister probably already has an idea." Li Shiqi smiled.

"Tell me about it?" Zhao Si raised his eyebrows.

"The Wei invaders are dead, Da Qin has wiped out the filthy people, and Ji Zi Chao has also suffered heavy losses. Da Qin can just take this opportunity to punish Ji Zhun. After all, it was Ji Zi Chao who took the initiative to kowtow.

Even if the Wei family has some rebellious intentions, Ji Zhun is still their king now.

Find a way to capture Ji Zhun first, and then use Ji Zhun's hand to destroy the Wei family! "Li Shiqi said.

"What if the Wei family rebels in a hurry? On the surface, Ji must be the king, but in fact, under long-term management, if there is a real fight, the Wei family has a great chance." Zhao Si said with a smile.

"Then go to the country and send troops to bring order to the chaos..." Li Shiqi said.

Zhao Si and Li Shiqi looked at each other speechlessly, and laughed in unison.
