I made Daqin a prosperous world

Chapter 177 Windfall
For Li Sijian's slant, Li Yu could only sigh and left.

There are countless pairs of eyes staring at this seemingly jubilant dinner party.

……

The next day, one book after another for keeping accounts was stacked and bundled together and delivered to Li Yu's residence.

It clearly listed the names of 73 rioters from the western suburbs, the amount of property confiscated, and a list of more than [-] people related to the rioters.

Li Yu couldn't help but feel a little dizzy looking at the property that had been handed over densely recorded on the ledger.

Looking back, Li Yu became more and more annoyed, and then threw the account book on the table, cursing: "It's fine to sit on the couch, bed curtain, etc. You can sell it for a little money, but the clothes you wear What the hell? Is this also paid?"

……

Seeing Li Yuzhen get angry, Zhang Deli didn't dare to take a breath.

Li Yu also knew that it wasn't Zhang Deli's fault, so he said, "Okay, it's none of your business, don't stand there like a stick."

Hearing this, Zhang Deli breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "Master Hou, it's already autumn, and although ordinary items such as mattresses and trousers cannot be sold for money, there are still people who want to wash them and give them to those who need them." of."

After Zhang Deli mentioned this, Li Yu immediately felt strange, then patted Zhang Deli and said: "Go to the post house and invite the merchants to come and see Benhou."

Zhang Deli suddenly felt a little baffled by Li Yu's sudden suddenness.

But since these words came from Li Yu's mouth, it must be done beautifully.

Then I saw Zhang Deli trotting all the way out of the Hou Mansion.

Not long after, Zhang Deli came back, accompanied by not only the border merchant, but also Princess Martha of the Yuezhi Kingdom.

"What's the matter with this princess?"

Relying on Martha's inability to understand, Li Yu frowned, and immediately asked in surprise.

Zhang Deli had never seen a foreigner with a high nose bridge and blue eyes like Yuezhi Kingdom, so he hesitated when he spoke.

Because he was summoned by Li Yu, the current imperial captain, Bian Shang said with some fear: "The villain has seen the adults, and Princess Martha insists on coming to see, so..."

After many days, when he saw the merchant here again, Li Yu couldn't help looking forward to it, so he nodded and said, "Relax, raise your head and speak."

Seeing that the frontier businessman really raised his head, Li Yu couldn't help laughing and said: "This Marquis has something to ask you, just answer as much as you can."

"Sir, please speak."

Li Yu immediately asked: "You are a border merchant, where have you been?"

Because of Daqin's focus on relationships, scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants are at the bottom.

Therefore, in Li Yu's view, the situation of border merchants should be better than that of merchants in Daqin.

But Baobuqi means tossing back and forth in the Hetao area, the border of the Great Wall, and the barbarian land, exchanging what is needed.

Unexpectedly, the frontier merchant in front of him said surprisingly: "To be honest, my lord, I was born in Longxi. Both generations of my ancestors were merchants who did business with the Yuezhi country. Besides, they also went to Wusun country and Qiang land. .”

This kid is a talent!
Li Yu was really surprised, and couldn't help but cherish his talent.Then he asked, "So, you are proficient in the languages ​​of these places?"

Bian Shang smiled, and said a little shyly: "It's not proficient, but I just know a little bit."

Li Yu knew that this kid was speaking modestly, so he asked again: "Then have you ever seen a plant with white filaments?"

Li Yu just realized that Daqin lacked something to keep out the cold after being touched by Zhang Deli before, so he thought of cotton.

In Li Yu's impression, the plant of cotton seems to have first grown on the boundary between the Yuezhi Kingdom and the Qiang people.

As for the exact location, Li Yu didn't know, so he thought of asking the side merchants to ask.

And the frontier businessman in front of him has been to so many places unexpectedly, and he thinks there is a high probability that he will have seen a plant like cotton.

Sure enough, the border merchant was taken aback when he heard the words, and then he said with some uncertainty: "The plant that your lord is talking about, is it the kind of plant that is as tall as a person, grows specially in the hot sandy soil, and can bloom white flocculent flower buds?" ?”

Li Yu was overjoyed immediately, then nodded and said: "Have you really seen it?"

Seeing Li Yu's ecstatic expression, Bian Shang nodded quickly and said: "This kind of plant is found in Yuezhi Kingdom and Qiang Land, but it's rare. It's the same place."

Hearing what Bian Shang said, Li Yu became more and more sure that it was cotton, and then he grinned and said, "What's your name, do you plan to become an official in the court?"

Bian Shang was startled immediately, as if he couldn't believe what he just heard...

After a while, Bian Shang couldn't help being overjoyed, and hastily bowed and said: "Little Zhang Qian, I am willing to listen to the adults."

"Since you are a native of Longxi, then go to Longxi to serve as the envoy of Longxi. What do you think?"

As soon as Li Yu said this, Zhang Qian couldn't help showing an expression that seemed to be smiling but not crying, but because he couldn't bear the ecstasy in his heart, he trembled all over.

Who would have thought that the Zhang family in Longxi, who had been engaged in cheap business for generations, would become an official of the Qin Dynasty in Zhang Qian's generation, and even a messenger.

You must know that the official position of a county envoy is no less than that of a county magistrate.

Smoke is rising from the ancestral grave of this special mother of the Zhang family?

Thinking of this, Zhang Qian made up his mind to go back to his hometown to pay homage to the ancestral grave.

Seeing that Zhang Qian was so excited because of his post as an envoy, Li Yu couldn't help but sigh that the influence of scholars, farmers, businessmen and commerce is indeed great.

Although I have tried my best to promote the small-scale peasant economy and encourage people to do small business in their spare time.

But under the influence of hundreds of years of ideas, this does not seem to have much improvement.

As for the official position promised to Zhang Qian, although Li Yu did not have the right to confer the official position, Ying Zheng did.

What's more, Dianke Lu Anding is in charge of Qin's diplomatic and national affairs, big and small, and Li Yu can get it done in minutes with just a word.

After finishing asking what should be asked, Li Yu remembered that there was a princess from the Yuezhi Kingdom.

Li Yu couldn't help being a little puzzled. The princess of the Yuezhi Kingdom should have been received or arranged by Ying Zheng, right?
Right now, it seems to be forgotten, and it is quietly placed in the post house, which is not in line with Daqin's way of hospitality.

But to be honest, foreigners more than 2000 years ago are indeed very rare.

Li Yu couldn't help but look at it a few more times, but he happened to look around with Martha's blue eyes, which were different from Qin's.

For Li Yu, Reba, Nazha, and Reba are more and more vaguely seen in later generations, but after all, they are no match for the era of pure makeup in front of them.

Suddenly being stared directly at by Li Yu, Martha's pretty face through the scarf couldn't help feeling a little hot.

Is it difficult?
Did you see me?

Martha couldn't help thinking about it.

Seeing Martha's eyes dodging, Li Yufang knew that he was too reckless, and then he smiled and said, "Translate for her, and ask her why she came here."

Zhang Qian nodded, and then translated Li Yu's meaning into the language of Yuezhi Kingdom.

Hearing this, Martha politely performed the unique etiquette of the Yueshi Kingdom, and then said: "The Lord of the Great Qin has placed me in the post house for many days. I want to visit you."

……

Am I not number one?
What's the logic of this foreign girl?
