Molested Zulong at the beginning

Bai Su frowned slightly, and sighed slightly: "There is no suitable candidate for now."

After all, this is not so much a matter of sending divisions to the Maurya Dynasty to discuss trade.

In fact, they just took advantage of this opportunity to provoke in the past, stir up troubles secretly, and find a suitable excuse for Da Xia to send troops in the future.

Therefore, the sent envoys need to complete the tasks assigned by the court in the enemy's territory, and at the same time, they must keep in mind the local customs and customs, the relationship between the states, and the contradictions as much as possible.

Bring back these key intelligences to prepare for the future in-depth army.

This kind of bold, careful, courageous and resourceful ability is not something that ordinary people can achieve.

After pondering for a moment, Mao Dun said, "In this case, then leave the mission of the envoy to me."

Bai Su frowned slightly: "Leave it to you, this...is this too dangerous?"

After all, the dispatched missions generally do not exceed a hundred people, and most of them are around dozens of people.

After deliberately exposing the gold and silver in the carriage to lure the coveted heart of the local city-state, after wanting to take the initiative in the opponent's city, it is necessary to flee the local area as soon as possible.

Although the Maurya Dynasty is not like the Central Plains, there is no so-called county system, government orders do not go to the countryside, and the various city-states do not trust each other.

As long as they escape the local city-state in time, the basic city owner will have nothing to do with them.

But in any case, the dispatched mission was only a few dozen people, and it was quite a dangerous thing to face the pursuit of thousands of soldiers with dozens of people.

Mao Dun's beautiful face showed a full smile: "Don't worry, it's just a country, I don't pay attention to it. When I was young, I was taken hostage by my father and thrown to me. Hostile Donghu tribe."

"In order to get rid of me and send me to the Donghu tribe the next day, my father sent a large army to attack the Donghu tribe, and wanted to kill me under the guise of the Donghu king."

"But I still relied on my intelligence to escape back, and less than two years later, I led the Xiongnu to defeat Donghu and occupied the entire grassland.

"Compared to the dangers encountered at the beginning, this level is naturally nothing."

"Besides, husband, since you want me to lead troops to conquer the Maurya Dynasty in the west and serve as the guardian envoy, then I will naturally show merits enough to convince everyone."

Bai Su looked at her calm face, as if she was talking about something ordinary, his eyelids couldn't help but twitch.

She didn't take him seriously at all.

But it's strange to think about it, as one of the most ruthless people rolled out of the monster room in East Asia, he once conquered Donghu, defeated the Yuezhi Kingdom, came to the Central Plains for help, dominated the entire grassland, and made Liaodong and even the Western Regions tremble.

Now facing a country with countless states, similar to a large Western Region, with Daxia behind her backing her, she naturally doesn't have much worry in her heart.

After pondering for a long time, Bai Su said, "Okay, since that's the case, I will entrust you with the task of going on an envoy. I will select some brave men for you. When you return, I will personally recommend them for you. Leading the army to march west..."

"Thank you husband..."

When Mao Dun heard Bai Su's words, a hint of surprise flashed in his beautiful eyes.

Bai Su smiled and looked at Mao Dun in front of him: "Then how can you thank me?"

Mao Dun was taken aback for a moment, and then seemed to think of something.

She bit her red lips lightly with her white teeth, and glanced at Bai Su with her beautiful eyes, then slightly lifted her black hair, and slowly bent down under Bai Su's surprised gaze.

Bai Su froze, and couldn't help but gasped.

......

......

At the same time outside the door, Yu Ji was standing stiffly outside the door with a snack. It seemed that she had been standing for a long time and listening to it for a long time, her face turned red with embarrassment.

She originally wanted to bring the prepared snacks and come over for the adults to taste, but unexpectedly bumped into this scene.

The soundproofing effect of the room is really not that good. She had heard it faintly from a distance just now, but now that the door is opened a gap, she can see it more clearly.

They are adults and envoys from foreign countries, how could they be together.

At this time, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao were talking and walking in the distance.

Seeing this, Concubine Yu hurried forward to block the two of them.

Da Qiao was taken aback for a moment: "Sister Yu Ji, are you sick, your face is so red?"

Yu Ji's face was flushed, and she stammered a little: "Okay...it seems so, can you help me find some medicine?"

Da Qiao didn't think too much, and nodded: "Miss Yu Ji, please follow me."

Seeing the two of them turn and leave, Yu Ji let out a long sigh of relief.

But she didn't notice the snack in her hand, and it fell to the ground, making a light "click" sound.

In this quiet courtyard, it was very harsh.

"Who!"

Bai Su's voice came from the room.

Yu Ji said badly to herself, and wanted to turn around and leave, but because she was too nervous, she tripped accidentally, pushed open the door of the room, and staggered in.

For a moment, the three of them looked at each other, and time seemed to stand still at this moment.

There was a blush on Yu Ji's fair cheeks, and she whispered, "Well... that, I didn't mean it, I didn't see anything, can I go?"

Bai Su was taken aback for a moment, and then a smile appeared on his face: "Since you're here, don't leave."

Mo Dun closed the door and leaned against the door.

And Bai Su embraced Yu Ji's slender willow waist, lifted her up, and walked towards the bed.

Yu Ji was stunned: "Hey!"

......

......

After I don't know how long.

The violent storm suddenly stopped, and the battle in the room looked like Ming Jin retreated, and the entire wing room was already in complete disarray.

From the table, to the window, to the bed, everything was messy.

Boots, clothes, and hair accessories were thrown on the ground casually.

On the bed, Yu Ji and Mao Dun were lying on the left and right sides of Bai Su.

Yu Ji's body is relatively weak, she has slightly closed her beautiful eyes at this time, and fell into a deep sleep, barely covered by the quilt, her beautiful body.

On the other side, Mao Dun stared at Bai Su firmly.

Bai Su looked at the embarrassed Modu, and couldn't help asking: "You...what's the matter with you?"

Mao Dun slightly raised her eyelids, at this moment she just felt as if her whole body was falling apart, her whole body was warm, and there was an endless sense of satisfaction in her heart.

She glanced at Bai Su coquettishly, panting slightly: "You... how do you tell me to walk, and how do you explain to the guards in the station?"

After experiencing a complete fiasco, the wolf king at this time is like a well-behaved kitten, with a weak voice.

Bai Su couldn't help smiling and said: "Then don't go back, just tell the envoys that you accidentally got drunk and stay in my residence for a day."

Mao Dun said softly: "That's the only way to go."

Seeing that she wasn't angry at all, Bai Su couldn't help being a little surprised and said, "Aren't you angry?"

Mao Dun glanced at Yu Ji, who was sleeping next to her, and couldn't help but said: "Our grassland children have different customs from your Central Plains. What's the matter."

Bai Su looked at the straightforward Mao Dun in front of him, and couldn't help but said, "Really, that's really happiness."

Chapter 390 Two Concubine Yu's Request

The next day.

Soft sunlight streams in through the hollowed-out gaps in the doors and windows.

Bai Su frowned slightly, sat up from the bed, and gave a lazily hache.

"My lord...you are awake."

At this time, a soft female voice came.

I saw that Yu Ji was wearing a thin gauze, sitting in front of the dressing table and combing her jet-black hair.

Hearing the movement behind her, she turned around and saw Bai Su looking straight at her, a shy blush appeared on her fair cheeks.

Bai Su looked around and saw that Yu Ji was the only one in the room, so he couldn't help asking: "Has Mao Dun left?"

Concubine Yu nodded lightly, and said, "Shan Yu said it's not too late, she needs to leave early, so early in the morning after preparing the trade map between the Western Regions and the Maurya Dynasty, she left."

"What a woman who can't stand loneliness and is full of ambition."

Bai Su shook his head helplessly, and after putting on a piece of clothing, he got off the bed and walked straight behind Yu Ji.

He took the comb from Yu Ji's hand, and gently helped Yu Ji comb her hair.

Yu Ji didn't have the slightest resistance, and sat quietly in front of the dressing table. Reflected in the clear bronze mirror, her slightly flushed cheeks seemed to have just been moisturized, and her whole body looked more and more radiant like a ripe peach. Beautiful and moving.

She looked at the man combing her hair behind her through the mirror, and after hesitating for a moment, she couldn't help asking: "My lord, are you planning to make an enemy of that country called the Maurya Dynasty?"

Bai Su paused for a moment, and immediately said: "It's sort of."

Yu Ji's slender willow eyebrows frowned slightly, bit her red lips lightly, and couldn't help but said: "My lord, the world has only just been unified, why is there another war?"

After all, in her opinion, no matter whether it is a hundred families or countless monarchs and ministers in the Central Plains, the greatest long-cherished wish in life is to unify the Kyushu, end the war, and let the people in the world have enough food and clothing without worrying about panic.

Now in the hands of Bai Su, these wishes have been realized one after another, fulfilling the greatest ideal of Confucius, the head of Confucianism.

The roads are not picked up, the doors are not closed at night, and there is no fear of famine in the world, but it is obvious that the ideal hometown of hundreds of schools has been realized.

But why did Bai Su continue to strengthen his armaments and start a war against a country that has no connection with foreign countries?

If it's some young generals, that's all. After all, young generals need to make military exploits, and then come to the ranks.

And Bai Su has taken power and become the pillar of the imperial court, logically speaking, there is no need to use merit to prove himself.

She really couldn't figure out why Bai Su would take the risk and take the initiative to start a war.

Bai Su gently coiled her hair, and said with a smile, "Because this is the only way to become a big country."

"The only way?"

Yu Ji couldn't help being a little taken aback by her black and white eyes, she couldn't understand Bai Su's meaning.

Bai Su patiently explained: "The Central Plains seems to have a vast land and rich resources, but in fact the arable land is very limited. The land of the seven countries is added up, and the arable land only accounts for one tenth. Farming and mulberry alone are not enough to enrich the country and strengthen the army, and improve the lives of the people in the Central Plains. .”

"I defeated the Xiongnu, brought the grassland under the rule of the Central Plains, and owned a vast pasture. Only then did the imperial court have sufficient horses, cavalry, and a steady stream of cattle, sheep and livestock from the grasslands to the Central Plains."

"This is how the folks spend [-] Wen to buy a catty of mutton and go home to cook a reunion dinner during the New Year's festival."

"Afterwards, the imperial court occupied the Western Regions, and the folks had cucumbers, spinach, grapes, peppercorns, spices, cotton and so on."

"As a result, the imperial court collected sufficient taxes from the merchants, and then reduced or exempted the farmers' taxes. In this way, the lives of those farmers can be further improved, and they can afford cotton-padded clothes in winter and drink small wine."

Yu Ji was stunned for a moment, she had never carefully observed these issues, but now that Bai Su said this, after thinking about it carefully, she found that it was true.

In the past, most of the people in the Central Plains wore rough sackcloth and ate clear rice porridge. As for meat, it was almost unthinkable.

But since Da Xia established the three major guard houses, now even ordinary people can have meat and vegetables on the dinner table, with four dishes and one soup, even during the festivals.

Yu Ji couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and her whole body was a little suspicious.

After all, since she was in elementary school, she had never heard of the allusion that if you forget the war, you will be in danger, and if you are warlike, you will die.

This simply subverted her three views.

Bai Su couldn't help but smiled: "War is just the last resort, my real goal is something else."

Yu Ji couldn't help but asked, "What does your lord mean..."

Bai Su pondered for a while, and then said: "My purpose from the beginning to the end is only one, and that is to establish a trade route dominated by the Central Plains."

"For example, my Central Plains porcelain, tea, silk, these things are hard currency everywhere, and the supply exceeds the demand."

"But it is our craftsmen who have worked so hard to make these things, but the money they earn is just a drop in the bucket of trade."

"Most of the profits are made by second-hand dealers in the countries along the trade route. We sell our goods to them for a hundred coins, and they change hands for a thousand coins, and then sell them to other countries."

"In the end, we became migrant workers for them instead. These second-hand traffickers made more money than us."

"If we just sit back and watch, several huge empires will soon rise up along the Silk Road along the way, and they can live a life of luxury and feasting every day just by collecting taxes, and even in order to control trade routes. How can this be done in our Western Regions?"

"So, in order to protect the interests that originally belonged to us, in addition to establishing a trade system centered on the Central Plains in the Western Regions, grasslands, and Liaodong."

"We still need to continue westward along this Silk Road, and infiltrate this trade route as much as possible. Only by controlling it in our hands can we prevent the rise of great powers around the Western Regions."

"At the same time, our Central Plains can influence the rise and fall of the world through free trade, and support our Central Plains people with the people of all nations and the things of the world."
