"Yandi Shennong!" Yao Hu and Chi Ming indeed knew and answered.
Chiyou Jiuli was originally from the Yandi Shennong clan, and even later Chi You defeated the Yandi Shennong clan and became the new Yandi.
"So, in fact, China includes not only the Central Plains, but also Chiyou Jiuli!" Jin Yao said seriously.
"When you talk about unification, do you mean the unification of China?" Yao Jia asked with a frown.
"Otherwise?" Jin Yao asked with a smile.
"Impossible!" Yao Hu and Chi Ming shook their heads.
In fact, the great witch and Gu masters of Jiuli also shook their heads.
From Yu, Xia, Shang, Zhou to the present, for nearly two thousand years, no one has ever unified China, but someone told them that someone could unify China. This is nothing short of a fantasy.
In particular, the hatred between Baiyue and Chu State is very old and can be traced back to the founding of Chu State.
"If the emperor Yao makes the decision in the world, we can admit submission, but we must also be conquered. If not, it is absolutely impossible!" Yao Hu continued.
"Dignity only lies in the edge of the sword. Baiyue has never been a vassal of any clan. It was like this before, it is like this now, and it will be like this in the future!" Chi Ming said while looking at Jin Yao's solemn salute.
"Yes, I, Baiyue, have never succumbed from Zhuolu to now, not before, not now, nor in the future!"
"If you want me to surrender, you have to wait until I die!"
"Baiyue will never be a slave!"
Other Jiuli talkers also responded one after another.
Jin Yao looked at the excited crowd and knew very well that Baiyue would not surrender just because of his words.
If he hadn't sent Chi You's inheritance back to them, I'm afraid he and Jing Ke would have turned into two corpses by now.
But this was also within his expectation, at least he already knew Baiyue's attitude.
I will not become a vassal of the Central Plains, let alone a slave. All I want is an equal status and respect!
As for this respect, it does not count if I say it, nor does Ying Zheng say it, nor does anyone else say it.
The only way is to start a full-scale war and fight to the end to defeat Baiyue.
And in this process, no matter who they are, they will have to face Baiyue and give them the status and respect they deserve!
This is what Baiyue wants, and it is also an unsolvable existence.
Even if he said that Baiyue would surrender and he would give Baiyue the same status as all ethnic groups in China, Baiyue would not believe it, and the people below would not do it.
The people in the Central Plains will not admit it either.
So in the end, the only choice is to start a war, fight until Baiyue makes the Central Plains face it, and fight until everyone admits it!
"The purpose of my coming is not to make you surrender to me. I just want to tell you that Jiujiang will open its market to trade with Baiyue." Jin Yao said while looking at Yao Hu and others.
Only by allowing Baiyue to intersect with the Central Plains, and unifying Baiyue in the future, will it not be so difficult and have so many conflicts.
"Tongshang?" Yao Hu was stunned again, and other people's eyes were obviously looking at him.
After all, Yao Hu is the patriarch of the Jiuli clan, and he is also one of the gentler surnames among the Jiuli who is more exposed to the outside world.
Therefore, he is naturally responsible for these things.
"What does Baiyue have that the Central Plains does not?" Yao Hu was confused.
Although they are unwilling to admit it, they have to admit that the Central Plains of Baiyue is vast and rich in resources, and has everything you need. The development over the past few thousand years has made it a higher level of civilization than Baiyue.
"Wood, herbs, spices, pearls, agate, jade, ivory, etc.!" Jin Yao said with a smile.
There are many things in Baiyue that are not available in the Central Plains.
Especially spiced fruits, such as Lingnan lychee, longan, etc.
"What will you open to us?" Yao Hu asked with a frown.
It is not that the Central Plains did not trade with Baiyue, but there were restrictions on all trade items, such as salt, metals, war horses, grain and other war preparation supplies.
"Food, war horses, salt!" Yao Hu emphasized what Baiyue lacked most.
There is plenty of wood, herbs, and spices in Baiyue, and they are inexhaustible. However, they only lack food and salt, and even war horses are not what they need most.
Baiyue is known as one hundred thousand mountains with mountains and forests everywhere. Farming is not easy and the food output is very small.
Today's Baiyue is still in the era of slash-and-burn farming thousands of years ago, and there is no concept or method of intensive farming at all.
Therefore, although Baiyue can produce two crops a year or even three crops a year, the fertility of the land and grain yield also limit their productivity.
For so many years, Baiyue's food self-sufficiency rate has not reached self-sufficiency. Many people starve to death every year, and even rely on fishing and hunting for a living.
This is also the reason why Baiyue harassed Changsha.
Because there is only one Yangtze River, everyone wants to occupy the best position and then become a land of plenty.
"Grain, salt, and Jiujiang can be opened to the public, and even the latest paper produced by the Mohist family can be opened to Baiyue!" Jin Yao said seriously.
"In addition, we will also provide farming methods to Baiyue!" Jin Yao continued.
Yao Hu, Chi Ming and others looked at Jin Yao in surprise. He even taught them farming methods. This was no ordinary trade.
"One more thing, we in Baiyue prohibit human trafficking!" Chi Ming said.
"Not only Baiyue, but also the Central Plains has banned human trafficking a long time ago!" Jin Yao said with a smile.
"It's different!" Chi Ming shook his head and said.
Wu Nong said softly, many nobles in the Central Plains like to treat Baiyue women or men as meat to feed and entertain.
Countries in the Central Plains may ban slave trade between countries, but that does not mean they will treat Baiyue equally.
"Now there is another question, what does Lord Long need!" Yao Hu would not believe that Jin Yao came here to provide countless benefits to Baiyue, but got nothing.
"If you need anything, then there is one thing!" Jin Yao thought for a while and then said.
Yao Hu, Chi Ming and others also breathed a sigh of relief. They were not afraid of asking for anything, but they were afraid of having no desires and no demands.
"Send someone to protect Tianze!" Jin Yao said with a smile.
"Red eyebrow dragon snake?" Yao Hu, Chi Ming and others were stunned for a moment.
"Are you sure it's the Red-browed Dragon Snake and not someone else?"
"Even if you need it, I can come out of the village to protect you!" Chi Ming was doubtful but confident.
"It's Tianze!" Jin Yao confirmed again.
As long as Tianze survives, the war between Longwei and Baiyue will remain at the same intensity, and they will even eventually form an alliance to fight against Chu.
Once Tianze dies, the Chu State will still have Baiyue's army in hand, which can completely drag Long Wei to Cangwu and prevent him from returning.
"Jiujiang and Baiyue have a common enemy, which is Chu State, so Tianze is beneficial to Jiujiang!" Jin Yao explained.
"That's it!" Yao Hu nodded, then looked at Chi Ming, but still passed by Chi Ming, and then looked at the other witch and Gu masters.
