Trade three cities for the life of the Queen Mother?
"Then the old witch's life is worth three cities?" The Emperor of Northern Qi looked hesitant, but he didn't have an attack after all. He took a deep breath and said: "Forget it, forget it."
Zino was right. With the three cities in the west in hand, it would be easy to destroy King Qin in the future.
"Yes, Your Majesty." The visitor bowed and stepped back.
Turning around, in Zino's room, a little maid came forward and said, "Sir, the matter has not been settled, there is no response from the other side." After saying that, she withdrew.
Zino held his head with his right hand and frowned: "The King of Qin disagrees. Is it because he is afraid that he will not be able to kill the regent or that the three cities to the west are of no value?" As for Wu Yuzhi, Zino was not at all within the scope of his consideration.
Wu Yuzhi was in Qin Jiyan's hands, and even the regent could not find anyone. Qin Jiyan wanted to take Wu Yuzhi's life, but it was just a matter of words.
"Come here," Zino shouted, and a guard in gray clothes came in immediately, "Sir." Listening to the voice, it turned out to be the man who followed Qin Jiyan that night and was discovered by Qin Jiyan.
"Go and check, what are there in those three cities?" It was worth asking the King of Qin himself.
In the inn, Qin Jiyan was telling Gu Qiancheng the terms of the Northern Qi Emperor's offer. After hearing this, Gu Qiancheng gave Qin Jiyan a thumbs up: "Fortunately you didn't agree. The three cities in the west are not of much use.
There is no need to come in handy."
"Oh...then what are the three cities to the east for?" Qin Jiyan took the opportunity to ask.
Having said this, Gu Qiancheng would be lying if he kept pretending. He looked at Qin Jiyan with a half-smile, making Qin Jiyan feel guilty, thinking that Gu Qiancheng was unhappy, but then he thought about it, he
I can't understand it again: why does he feel guilty? It's Gu Qiancheng who is clearly hiding something, not him.
But……
He just has a guilty conscience and it makes absolutely no sense.
Gu Qiancheng stopped when he saw the situation, withdrew his appraising eyes and said: "In the early years, those six cities in the desert were not from Northern Qi, but an independent country, Yiguo. Although Yiguo was small, it had one of the pearls in the desert.
It is said that there are the largest oasis and lake in the desert around it. The lake is rich in golden pearls. The people of Yi country rely on the oasis and lake to survive. Although they are not prosperous, they are peaceful.
Later, some nomadic peoples, the predecessors of the Northern Qi Dynasty, coveted the pearls of the country of Yi. They mobilized troops to attack the country of Yi and massacred all the people in the six cities of the country of Yi. It is said that the blood of the people of the country of Yi dyed the lake outside the country red.
Of course, this is just a legend. After all, the population of Iraq is not large. Even if everyone’s blood is drained, it is impossible to dye a lake red.”
At this time, Gu Qiancheng still did not forget to use a scientific attitude to examine the remarks in the certificate.
"After those nomadic peoples occupied the country of Iraq, they mined gold beads in the lakes, causing the gold beads on the market to become rotten, and the price dropped. However, due to over-exploitation by those people, the gold beads became smaller and smaller, even to the point of ten
After this year, gold beads will no longer be mined.
No gold beads can be mined, so the nomads continue their original life, grazing in the oasis. They have money to find many cattle and sheep. The grassland in the oasis is limited, and it takes time to grow grass. The more cattle and sheep eat, the more grass they will eat.
As for the oasis getting smaller and smaller, it was finally covered by the desert, including the lake." This is Gu Qiancheng's scientific explanation. The record in the book is that the Yi people were unwilling to die in vain and came back to claim their lives, flooding the oasis and lake.
Gu Qiancheng stopped telling Qin Jiyan about such unscientific remarks. After explaining the origins of the six deserted cities, Gu Qiancheng said that he wanted the three eastern cities for himself.
"According to records, the three eastern cities of the country of Iraq are where the royal family and nobles live. Not only is there a gold mine underneath, it also contains the best gold beads that have been mined in the country over the years, as well as those that have been suppressed and unsold.
Golden beads." Even Gu Qiancheng had to praise the Emperor of Yi for his wisdom.
Then I have long known what hunger marketing is and what rare things are.
The reason why gold beads are loved by nobles from all over the world is because they are rare in quantity. Later, the nomads mined them frantically and put the gold beads they mined into the market, causing the price of gold beads to drop instantly.
"Gold beads and gold mines? Have we found treasure?" Qin Jiyan's eyes lit up and his heart beat a few beats faster.
He had never thought before that the three abandoned cities had so many uses.
"I've definitely found a treasure. With the disappearance of the oasis and lake, there are no more gold beads on the market. There are only some old ones from the past, and there are very few large ones. If we can find the batch of gold that Yi Guo hid back then,
Pearl, we can make a lot of money." Gu Qiancheng had known this for a long time, but he still couldn't help but feel a little excited when he said it now.
Of course, as exciting as it is, the benefits still have to be reaped...
Gu Qiancheng held his chin in his hands, looked at Qin Jiyan with wide eyes, and silently told his prayers.
"Why do you look at me like that?" Qin Jiyan tensed up defensively.
Gu Qiancheng looked at him as if he were looking at a slaughtered pig. Although this metaphor was a bit silly, Qin Jiyan couldn't think of a more appropriate one.
"Your Highness Qin..." Gu Qiancheng said sweetly, with a soft voice, but Qin Jiyan was cold for no reason, "Qiancheng, tell me what you have to say." It was so weird and scary.
"Your Highness is so refreshing, so I won't be polite." Gu Qiancheng was really unkind and said directly: "I have made a small effort to get those three cities. I will take 10% of the profits from the gold beads and gold mines.
how?"
"10% off?" Is that what he meant?
"Does your Highness think it's too much? Half a percent is fine." Gu Qiancheng took the initiative to give up the profits. Who makes technical talents worthless these days?
"No, I...the king wants to say that you are short of money?" Whoever is short of money, Gu Qiancheng will not be short of money.
Gu Qiancheng has a dowry worth millions, and there are... members of Daqin's official bank. By then, the dividends alone will not be enough to spend every year.
Although these are all in his hands now, isn't his the same as Gu Qiancheng's? What's the difference?
"There's no shortage, but no one would mind having too much money, right?" Gu Qiancheng said confidently, without any embarrassment.
She is not greedy for money, but she will not let go of the opportunity to make money, and it is also a good thing to take the opportunity to collect some gold beads. Be prepared for danger in times of peace. If one day she is down and out, she may be able to turn around with her collection.
"You are right. No matter how much money you have, you can still spend it, but..." Qin Jiyan paused and waited for Gu Qiancheng to take the initiative to ask, but Gu Qiancheng was not in a hurry at all. Qin Jiyan and others
After waiting for a long time, he didn't wait. He was quite helpless and said, "You girl is really a headache. Can't you be stupid and take the initiative to ask?"
"Oh..." Gu Qiancheng responded and said calmly: "Just what?"
Although it was a bit deliberate, it was still considered a different kind of taste. Qin Jiyan didn't mind and said maliciously: "It's just that I originally thought that whether it is gold beads or gold mines, it belongs to both of us. No matter what we get, it will always be ours."
I want to give you half, but I didn’t expect that you only need half. It’s really...a pity." The last word was drawn out, with unspeakable regret...
