Chapter 151 King Yan: It’s so comfortable to lie flat

Hao Ziyi followed the sound and came to a cliff, where there was a young man in black. He was whistling towards the valley, and the clear and melodious voice echoed along the valley.

For some reason, Hao Ziyi felt that his back looked familiar.

Judging from his dress, he is also different from those simple tribesmen, giving people a refined and easy-going feeling.

Hao Ziyi waited patiently for him to finish blowing the whistle, and then asked: "Who are you and how do you know my music?"

The man turned around, and the moment Hao Ziyi saw him, he lost his mind!

His face was sharp and angular, his demeanor was graceful, and his eyes seemed to have experienced countless years of baptism, and they were deep and fascinating.

The most important thing is that when seeing him, Hao Ziyi always felt that this person was very familiar to him, but he couldn't remember who he was. He only felt an inexplicable joy in his heart and wanted to get close to him.

"Zi Yi, here I come!" Zhang Beichen showed a smile.

"How do you know my name?" Hao Ziyi was even more surprised, "We haven't met before, right?"

"No, we have met before." Zhang Beichen said.

"Have we met?" Hao Ziyi tried hard to recall. Although she felt that the other person was very familiar, her memory told him that with Zhang Beichen's very different clothes and appearance from the nomads, if she had really seen him, she would probably remember him.

That's right.

Zhang Beichen came over and said: "We met in the previous life, let's meet again in this life. My name is Zhang Beichen, and I come from the country of Yan."

"Zhang Beichen, are you from Yan State?" Hao Ziyi felt even more familiar when he heard this name.

Thinking that he was from Zhongyuan, Hao Ziyi suddenly thought of the dream he had just had. It seemed that the god of Wuhuan Mountain had given him a dream, saying that a person from Zhongyuan would save the Wuhuan tribe. Could it be him?

"Yan Country? I have never been there!" Hao Ziyi unknowingly regarded Zhang Beichen as a friend and said, "I heard from my father that there are many more people in the Central Plains than us, and there are many interesting people and things.

!”

"That's right." Zhang Beichen confirmed, and then started chatting with Hao Ziyi.

He is familiar with Hao Ziyi's hobbies and habits, and can always take care of her emotions and tell her about all kinds of novel things in the world.

Hao Ziyi was so excited all day long that she finally realized when the moon was above the treetops: "Oh no, my dad will scold me for not going back so late."

"Brother Beichen, are you free tomorrow? I'll come see you again!"

"Free!" Zhang Beichen smiled.

"Yeah!" Hao Ziyi was very happy when he got the affirmative answer.

…

In this way, Zhang Beichen and Hao Ziyi met again, and the two got along very happily.

During this period, Hao Zhen asked his spies in the Xianbei tribe to investigate the situation. Based on the clues Zhang Beichen said, he really discovered that the Xianbei tribe had close contact with the Xiongnu Maotai Shanyu.

"The Xianbei tribe no longer worships the Xianbei Mountain God, but instead worships the beast god of the grassland!" After learning this news, Hao Zhen was almost certain that the Xianbei tribe had defected to the Huns.

For them, the tribe's sacrifices are more important than the selection of the Khan, so how can they just change it?

Hao Zhen thought about it, the Xianbei tribe was one of the three major forces of Donghu. It turned to the Xiongnu, and now the Yan State was sending money, food and equipment to the Xiongnu for the sake of peace. At the same time, Donghu's great Chanyu Daji was not a wise man.

A monarch knows how to enjoy himself every day.

If this continues, it will only be a matter of time before Donghu's demise. At a glance, the Wuhuan tribe is surrounded by enemies!

If this continues, is there any reason why the tribe will not perish?

Thinking of this, Hao Zhen summoned Zhang Beichen again.

Zhang Beichen knew that Hao Zhen had most likely figured it out, so he took the initiative to ask: "Khan summoned me, he must have confirmed the information I said."

Hao Zhen's attitude toward Zhang Beichen became much friendlier. He said, "What do you, Yan State, want?"

Zhang Beichen said directly: "If the situation continues like this, Donghu will be destroyed within ten years! The Wuhuan tribe will follow Daji and will only die. If you surrender to the Xiongnu, Maotai may not treat you well, because Yu Manhe has been coveting you. Your Wuhuan territory."

"So you can only cooperate with Yan State. Yan State also wants Donghu's territory, but Yan State is not good at managing nomadic people!"

"If the Wuhuan tribe can rely on the Yan State, the King of Yan is willing to let the Khan rule this place, and he only needs to surrender to the Yan State!"

Hao Zhen hesitated and said: "The Yan State cannot protect itself. What ability does it have to conquer Donghu?"

"Hahaha!" Zhang Beichen said with a smile, "It is an indisputable fact that the State of Yan was poor and weak before. But now the King of Yan is wise and diligent, and has carried out various reforms in the State of Yan. Within ten years, the State of Yan will be strong. stand up."

"We have a saying that adding icing on the cake is not as good as providing help in the snow. If the Khan has the strength to destroy Donghu, then Khan will want to form an alliance with Yan. The King of Yan may not agree, so it is better to join forces early and establish a friendship."

Hao Zhen was moved, but he still remained rational. After all, Zhang Beichen was just trying to draw a big pie for him. The premise was that the Yan State should be strong. If the Yan State was not strong and Donghu did not decline, then he would have an affair with the Yan State instead of giving it to Yu Man. Do He and Daji have any handle?

He thought for a moment and said: "I can cooperate with you, but the information on this matter must not be leaked! Otherwise, don't blame me for turning against you!"

"Don't worry, Khan. The Yan Kingdom doesn't need Khan to do anything in these years. Khan only needs to provide some information. When the troops are sent out, I will come back to Khan."

"Okay! It's a deal!" Hao Zhen agreed. It was best to leave a way out for his tribe.

If the Yan State was not strong and prosperous, he could completely refuse to admit his guilt and continue to follow Donghu's great Chanyu.

If the Yan State becomes really powerful, he will follow the trend and join the Yan State's camp. In short, it depends on the situation.

After talking to Hao Zhen, Zhang Beichen planned to return to China.

Before leaving, Hao Ziyi was reluctant to leave.

"Brother Beichen, will you come back?" Hao Ziyi looked at him eagerly.

Zhang Beichen heard this sentence last time. Unfortunately, he came back too late, causing Hao Ziyi to be killed.

"Definitely!" Zhang Beichen affirmed that he would not make the same mistake twice.

Moreover, before leaving this time, he also told Hao Zhen that "Lou Jiu" was a spy of the Xianbei tribe, and Hao Zhen was already on guard.

"Beichen, Ziyi is waiting for you at Wuhuan Mountain!" Hao Ziyi bit his lips lightly, as if he had made a vow.

Zhang Beichen stroked her head gently and said, "Next time we meet, grow taller!"

"Yeah!" Hao Ziyi hummed.

"Drive!" Zhang Beichen got on his horse and led the delegation back to Yan State.

…

[You have completed your mission and returned to the Yan Kingdom, and the entire Yan Kingdom is rejoicing.]

This time, it only took Zhang Beichen one year to buy more than ten years of peace for the Yan country!

Domestically, the problem of An Guojun has been solved. Externally, the Xiongnu will not invade for the time being. With the Xiongnu restraining Donghu and Wuhuan Khan reporting the news, it will not pose much threat to the Yan State, and the Yan State can finally concentrate its forces.

to strengthen the country.

[You continue to promote the reform of Yan State and promote agricultural development, and the famine in Yan State begins to decrease. 】

Each country has different geographical environment and different productivity development, so Zhang Beichen has to adapt to local conditions.

[You conducted an in-depth investigation into the people of Yan and found that Yan’s handicraft industry was very developed, so you decided to reform Yan’s handicraft industry.]

The current handicraft industry of Yan State mainly comes from two aspects, one is iron smelting, and the other is bronze ware.

Bronze ware was destined to be eliminated, so Zhang Beichen simply decided to abolish bronze ware and directly convert all bronze ware into iron workshops.

In addition to these, Yan State also has two skills that are very profitable, namely handicrafts and pottery.

The handicraft industry was mainly controlled by common people and lower-class nobles, while pottery was the exclusive property of the Yan Kingdom.

At this time, the Yan Kingdom's pottery was loved by all countries, and the King of Yan was able to support so many assassins by making money from selling pottery.

Therefore, Zhang Beichen made reforms.

[Your improved pottery firing method led craftsmen to fire celadon and colored porcelain. The advent of porcelain won the favor of nobles from all over the world. Yan porcelain soon became popular all over the world.]

[Together with the craftsmen, you created the first textile machine. Through the textile machine, the spinning efficiency of textile workers was greatly improved. You opened a weaving workshop in the name of the government, and the weaving workshop became another pillar industry of Yan after porcelain. Yan

China's cloth and silk began to be sold to various countries, earning a large amount of money and food.】

Three years later, Yan Qingwu felt numb when she saw the balance of the treasury displayed on the simulator!

Three years ago, when the Yan State was as poor as it was, she took the lead in raising donations for the money and food sent to the Xiongnu, and the nobles withheld it from their homes one by one!

In just three years, Yan's treasury became extremely rich!

Whether it is the weaving workshop or the porcelain business, the money earned from any one of them is more than the annual tax of Yan State in the past!

For the first time, she saw a warehouse full of gold and silver. This feeling was simply wonderful!

"So this is what it feels like to be with Zhang Beichen!" Yan Qingwu suddenly began to regret, why she was so stubborn before and had to fight with Zhang Beichen!

Now that Zhang Beichen is being used again, it’s great!

During this period, she often visited people with Zhang Beichen, and their closeness reached a level of trust.

"If things continue like this, it is really possible for me to unify the world and ascend the throne as emperor!" Yan Qingwu was already looking forward to it. Her father had never thought about such a thing, right?

…

Wei Guo, Wei Yao looked at the newly purchased porcelain from Yan Guo and was filled with envy.

"Zhang Beichen, why don't you make porcelain here with me... I must capture you to make porcelain next time!" Wei Yao knew the profits of porcelain and was equally jealous.

This thing is so profitable, not to mention the Central Plains, even the nobles in Bashu and the Western Regions like it very much, and they send people from thousands of miles away to the Central Plains to buy it.
