When the Emperor of Chu heard the words of the wise king, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth and said, "Brother, you have to know that not everything in the court can be measured by money."
The wise king hummed: "I don't care about that. I am short of money now! If you can make money for me from foreigners, that's your ability. I like it! Corrupt officials who only exploit the people will let me
If the king knows, I will chop off his head sooner or later!"
Emperor Chu: "..."
He also likes ministers who can make money from foreigners, okay?
Today's Chu State's national treasury is in terrible shape. It can be said that the Chu State at this time is even more difficult than when it was founded. It had to build a State Business Institute, otherwise I don't know how to survive this year.
If you can earn money from foreigners that can be put into the national treasury, then that's more than just a skill? That's a big skill!
But in terms of doing business, Xu Qing really has to be given the go-ahead.
That’s not to say that officials from North Korea and China don’t know how to do business.
The main reason is that Xu Qing is not shameless when doing business...
But at this time when the court is in difficulty, it doesn't matter how shameless it is. If you can earn money for the treasury, you are a good minister.
…
Andinghou Mansion
Xu Qing sat in the main seat and looked at Agula who was sitting on the side of the lobby and asked, "I heard that the situation in the grassland is not very good now?"
Agula remained silent, how could I possibly tell you such a thing.
Xu Qing didn't seem to intend to hear Agula's answer and said to himself: "But think about it, the Khan of your country used force to conquer the grassland. You people, you think about killing every day.
Those who are killed do not understand the way of becoming a king at all, which is why you have been living in separate tribes for so long and have never been able to achieve true unification."
When Agula heard this, he could no longer hold his temper and asked: "What exactly does the Marquis of Anding County want to say?"
Xu Qing said: "Envoy, please don't be excited. I also admire the envoy's character very much. I am very willing to make him a friend. The envoy is willing to make good friends with our country of Chu and also gives such a valuable gift. I, the country of Chu, don't
, to be precise, I personally hope to reciprocate the favor."
Agula was surprised when he heard this: "The Marquis of Anding County means that there is a way to help quell the rebellion in our grassland?"
Xu Qing nodded and said: "Of course I am willing, but the price may be a little high. It requires money."
Agula said in a deep voice: "Now our grassland is not afraid of high costs, but we hope to calm down the dissatisfaction of the tribes as soon as possible."
Now that Chu State has noticed it, there is no need for him to pretend to be calm anymore.
In fact, it was easy to see what the situation was like in their grasslands, even he himself could see that it was just a fan of their khan authorities.
Now dazzled by the victory, the Khan wanted to attack the Zhou Kingdom and continue his unstoppable conquests in the grassland, but he turned a blind eye to the different intentions of the grassland tribes. This was a very dangerous phenomenon.
If when the Khan is conquering the Zhou Kingdom, other tribes take the opportunity to cause trouble behind his back, and the newly unified grassland will soon fall apart. At that time, the Khan who is on an expedition to the grassland will be in danger.
If the Anding County Marquis has a way to quickly pacify the disaffected tribes in their grassland, then their Wanyan tribe can even unite with the tribes in the grassland to conquer the Zhou Kingdom!
In this way, conquering the Zhou Kingdom may no longer be a fantasy or an unattainable dream.
How could Agula remain calm?
It was really tiring for him to shoulder the responsibility of a grassland brain all by himself!
Xu Qing was very satisfied with Agula's performance. He stood up and said, "Messenger, please come with me. Brother Xiao, you can come too."
Xu Qing led the two of them out of the lobby, went to a wing and opened the door of a quiet room.
When Agula walked in and saw the things placed inside, his eyes could not help but widen, and his whole body could not help but tremble. A deep awe and disbelief filled his heart.
Because what was in front of him turned out to be a statue of the Wolf King that was almost one foot tall. This was not the point. The point was that the entire body of this Wolf King was made of glass!
Crystal clear, majestic and extraordinary!
The wolf is the totem of the prairie people, and even many prairie tribes have the myth of the "Wolf Ancestor".
If China is the descendant of the dragon, then the grassland is the descendant of the wolf.
Seeing such a majestic and crystal clear Wolf King was like seeing a real dragon in the Central Plains.
Xu Qing looked at Agula and asked, "How?"
Agula trembled all over and said: "May I ask the Marquis of Anding County, where did your country find this...this...?"
Xu Qing said with a smile: "This Wolf King was accidentally unearthed when the Guoshang Yuan was digging the foundation to build a house. Fortunately, I was careful when digging and no damage was caused. When it was unearthed, it also made the National People's Congress of the Guoshang Yuan
I am so shocked that such a majestic Glazed Wolf King can be dug out of the soil! This is something that has never happened before."
"Originally, His Majesty and His Majesty planned to sell the wolf in exchange for silver because they were poor in Chu State, but fortunately I saved it because I understand that such a sacred object cannot be sold casually."
"This is the totem of the grassland. When the Glazed Wolf King appears, the grassland will surely prosper! How can we ignore the friendship between you and my brotherhood and treat such a spiritual wolf king as an ordinary object?"
"After my earnest persuasion, Your Majesty and Your Majesty gave up the idea of selling this Glazed Wolf King. In fact, when the time came, I wanted to tell the envoy, but at that time, the guards of your country's mission were really
It is a serious provocation to the national prestige of our State of Chu, so we have to be sentenced in accordance with the law."
"The envoy may wish to think about it now. If the Glazed Wolf King appears in the Wanyan tribe, he will invite the leaders of many tribes to worship under the Glazed Wolf King and show that this wolf king comes from the Wanyan tribe.
After digging out, at that time, will any tribe dare to have any dissent in the face of the Glazed Wolf King?"
There was a hint of fanaticism in Agula's eyes. He knew the Central Plains. Where did the people of the Central Plains gather? It was the Central Plains Jiuding at first, and later it became the Jade Seal of the Nation. Although I don't know why, it has developed to this generation, three countries
All the emperors had a jade seal passed down from the previous dynasty, and they all felt that theirs was the one that was truly passed down from the previous dynasty.
But even if the jade seal passed down to the country suddenly jumped into three, as long as you have one jade seal in your hand, it will still not affect the people's attachment.
Every time in troubled times, the first thing the princes fight for is this jade seal. As long as they have this jade seal, their throne will be reasonable and legal, and they will be ordered by heaven, and they will live long and prosperous.
If their grassland can have a similar town object that unites the hearts of the people of all tribes, why worry about the different hearts and minds of the various tribes in the grassland?
