The Villain System of Mingyue in Qin Dynasty.

Li Si shook his head, his daughter was still too naive.Growing up in a boudoir, she has learned the classics of a hundred schools of thought since she was a child. Although she is intelligent, she lacks knowledge.

"Although Baiyue is not as powerful as Chu State, it is more troublesome than Chu State."

Chapter 32 Brother is so loyal

Ouyue Kingdom.

The capital of Ouyang Yao, king of Ouyue, was established in the area of ​​today's Wenzhou.Since King Wei of Chu destroyed Yue, the descendants of King Goujian of Yue scattered, and one of them was exiled in Ou and called Wang Jianguo.

Because of its remote location, far away from the center of the power vortex in the Central Plains, and the fact that Chu was busy competing with Qin.For the descendants of Yue who live in a remote corner, most of them adopt a policy of appeasement.Therefore, since the founding of Ouyue, there have been few disputes.

The smell of saltiness comes from the sea, here is a small harbor.Liu Ji stood on the pier, looking into the distance, a convoy escorting goods was slowly approaching, he was inexplicably relieved.

"It finally arrived safely."

Liu Ji's hanging heart finally let go, because Gein escorted a lot of goods this time, and they were very important.However, the empire set up numerous checkpoints along the road from Kuaiji County to Ouyue Kingdom, and placed a large number of army guards. It is impossible for such large-scale smuggled goods to pass through the border of the country safely.

Of course, if Liu Ji took out the token that Ying Ziyi gave him, then these would not be a problem.But it is important that Liu Ji cannot reveal his identity.Therefore, Liu Ji can only choose sea transportation.

In this era, the risk of shipping is still quite high. Maybe the fleet will hit a rock somewhere, or maybe it will sink somewhere when it encounters a sea breeze.

Shipping by sea is full of uncertainties. If possible, Liu Ji would never choose this route.But the deal between Shennongtang and King Ouyue this time is too tight.

Liu Ji loves to gamble and loses nine times out of ten. However, this time, he seems to have won the bet.

The three big boats slowly approached the shore, and the water anchors dropped.Liu Ji ordered the disciples of Shennongtang and the sailors of Siyuetang on the ship to start unloading.

Boxes of heavy goods were carried off the ship and loaded onto the vehicle.

"Brother Liu Ji, when will you gamble?" Situ Wanli, the head of the farm's Siyue Hall, got off the boat and asked Liu Ji as he got off the boat and was addicted to gambling.

"Anytime is fine, but let's get down to business first." Liu Ji pointed behind him and said with a smile.

"what is this?"

Situ Wanli looked at behind Liu Ji, there were various cars.He spread his hands, but also helpless.These carts are not only of different sizes, but also the animals they carry are very different. Some use horses, some use cows, some use dogs, and some even use giant rhinos.

Ouyue's national strength is weak, and the whole country may not be able to gather an army of [-] people.Not to mention a decent transport fleet.Situ Wanli thought to himself that Liu Ji was able to find such a convoy to transport the goods, so he had to be said to be 'talented'.

"This time the Zhu family has suffered a lot of blood. Let me tell you, what is Shennongtang's plan?" Situ Wanli asked in a low voice, putting his arm on Liu Ji's shoulder.

"The direction of the wind has changed." Liu Ji said with emotion.

"What do you mean?" Situ Wanli twitched his mustache, a little puzzled.Liu Ji, who had always been out of tune, suddenly became sophisticated in how he spoke.

"The peasant family surrendered to the empire, no, to be precise, it surrendered to the young master Fusu. Now that we are living under other people's hands, we should share the worries of the master." Liu Ji said indifferently.

"I heard that there have been frequent changes in the army of the empire recently, and your brother said so again. So it seems that the rumor is true?"

Situ Wanli is in charge of Siyuetang and is well-informed.Soon, he guessed a bit about the Zhu family's plan.

Emperor Qin was going to attack Baiyue.And Ou Yue was at the forefront, and was the first target of the imperial army.But the young master Fu Su was born as the eldest son of the empire, but he was firmly suppressed by the Qin crown prince.If this time, Fusu could have won the jackpot in the empire's attack on Baiyue.Then the eldest son must be able to win a lot of points in front of Qin Huang.

"No!" Situ Wanli was an old man, looking at Liu Ji, "I'm afraid it's not just like this!"

"That's right." Liu Ji nodded, looking like you guessed it right, and said: "As you think, brother, Shennongtang has always had business dealings with Ouyue and Minyue. It can be said that these two families are ours. The patron of Shennongtang. If there is a loss of these two, the source of funds for my Shennongtang will be greatly damaged. How can I compete with Lieshantang? I have another mission this time, which is to persuade King Ouyue Don't be too hard on yourself, follow the empire hard."

"Hahaha!" Situ Wanli laughed loudly, "Ouyang Yao won't be so overwhelmed!"

……

The capital of King Ouyue is not so much a city as a large town.

The arrival of Liu Ji's motorcade was extremely eye-catching.Passing through the city gate and walking on the dirt road, many Ouyue people cast peeping eyes along the way.

The land of Ouyue has been closed for a long time, and has little communication with the outside world.In addition, Yue people always have disheveled hair, not like clothes.Therefore, before King Goujian of Yue, all countries in the Central Plains were ashamed of him.Later, Gou Jian annexed the state of Wu, established hegemony, began to learn etiquette from the Central Plains, and took back his clothes.However, King Wujiang of Yue failed to attack Chu, and the people of Yue fled to Jiangnan, Guangdong and Guangxi.

Therefore, when Liu Ji walked on the street, he could still see some disheveled and disheveled Ouyue people.

Liu Ji's caravan is very important to these people. The novelty objects and some necessities of life brought by the caravan often make the people of Ouyue love it.

And Liu Ji bought jade, pearls, elephant teeth, and rhino horns from Ouyue and Minyue through these small commodities, and sold them back to the Central Plains at high prices.The high profits brought about by the price difference between the two ends are the expenses of Shennongtang, the most powerful farm family.

Therefore, the Zhu family, the head of Shennong Hall, did not want Ouyue and Minyue to be in chaos, and it would be best if the status quo could be maintained.

But it all depends on Ouyang Yao's attitude towards the empire.

Respect or disobedience.This is the difference between life and death.

"What do you mean, young master?" Situ Wanli asked Liu Ji.He was very surprised why Mr. Fusu entrusted this matter to Shennongtang instead of Lieshantang who was closer to him.

"Go to Wanghao, Mrs. Yi. This is the bottom line." Liu Ji said deeply, looking at the sky in the distance, the wind and rain were about to come.

Situ Wanli took a deep breath and asked a king to remove his title. Such a thing is simply an insult, and it is not something that can be done simply.No wonder the young master Fusu handed over this matter to Shennongtang.

"The Emperor of Qin abolished Zhou rituals and implemented new policies throughout the country. If King Ouyue still retained the title of king, wouldn't this be blatantly slapping Emperor Qin in the face? This is the only point that cannot be changed no matter what. If King Ouyue is not willing Remove the title of the king, and only the army of the empire awaits him."

"I'm afraid it won't be easy!" Situ Wanli was worried, and when he looked sideways, he could only see the inexplicable smile on Liu Ji's face, which disappeared in a flash.

"That's not necessarily the case!"

Situ Wanli followed Liu Ji into the royal city, and in front of the palace gate (actually, it was a relatively large wooden gate), a robust man in brocade clothes but disheveled hair was already waiting there.

"Brother Liu Ji, you kept me waiting for a long time. Don't try to slip away from today's dinner."

"Where is it, the journey is tiring, and I just get drunk." Liu Ji smiled, put aside the cargo that was full of convoys, and followed the man into the Wangcheng.

After looking for nothing, Situ Wanli tugged on Liu Ji's sleeve and asked, "Who is this?"
