Zhao Wen, the doctor of the South Vietnam Kingdom, is a very discerning person. If such a person is a friend, it is excellent, but if he is an enemy, it will be a headache. Su Ren never mentioned the construction of Kuaiji New City to anyone.
After arriving in Kuaiji, he told Yan Zhu and Huang Qi that not many people knew about the benefits. But Zhao Wen could see the benefits as soon as he heard it. Such a person is by no means simple.
Sitting across from each other, Zhao Wen looked very calm, chatting and laughing with Su Ren without any restraint. Su Ren's wine was much stronger than what they usually drank. When poured into his mouth, it was spicy at first, then burned, and finally fragrant.
"Good wine. Such a strong drink is only suitable for heroes. It would be a waste for Chang Shi to entertain me with him!"
"Hahaha!" Su Ren smiled and said, "Doctor Zhao is humbled. Although you and I are not heroes, at least we are partners. Since we are partners, we must give out good things, otherwise we will regret our friendship."
Zhao Wen nodded: "Then I'm ashamed to accept it. I'm indebted to Su Changshi." After another drink, Zhao Wen put down the glass: "Su Changshi moved very quickly. He only went to Shaping once and immediately recruited civilian husbands.
, Craftsmen, it looks like construction will start in three to five days, right?"
Su Ren nodded and said: "It's a pity that there are few people in Kuaiji, and it's the busy farming season, so there are not enough people to find. If you follow my instructions, the land should be leveled within one month, the foundation should be laid within three months, and the city wall should have a wall in half a year."
It looks like people will have to move in by the end of the year at the latest, and at the current pace, it may be difficult to complete."
"I just heard Chang Shi say that I have already made my blood boil. It took more than half a year to build a masterpiece. What an achievement. When Su Changshi returns to Chang'an in the future, it may not be difficult for him to be ranked as the Jiuqing. By then, I hope Su will succeed."
Sir, please give us a few kind words for the people of South Vietnam."
"These things are easy to say. As long as the South Vietnamese Kingdom sincerely surrenders, His Majesty will never treat you badly." Su Ren looked at Zhao Wen and thought for a moment: "Doctor should know that I came to Kuaiji for the sake of the Vietnamese people. Therefore, I
I want to hear the truth from the doctor, and I have the opportunity today, so the doctor might as well say it clearly."
"What does Changshi want to know?"
"Then it depends on what the doctor wants me to know?"
Zhao Wendao said: "It is difficult for the people of Yue, and it is even more difficult for us in the South. It is located in a wilderness. Although there are tens of thousands of people, they are fighting hard all day long. There are strong Han people in the north, Minyue in the west, vast jungles in the south, and the roaring sea in the east.
, in this environment, the people of South Vietnam are clinging to life, and are on guard day and night. This time, our king has sent an envoy to the Han Dynasty, for the sake of reconciliation between the two countries. The South Vietnam country will pay tribute every year and become a vassal every year. It will always submit to the Han Dynasty and will never rebel.
"
Su Ren said nothing and kept looking at Zhao Wen. Zhao Wen continued: "Of course, South Vietnam also needs the protection of strong men. Minyue bullies people too much. Allowing it to continue to grow will not be a good thing for strong men. We, Nanyue, are willing to cooperate with
The Han Dynasty sent troops together to attack Minyue."
"The people of South Vietnam are living in poverty. The strong Han is the kingdom of heaven. For the sake of us begging for mercy, I hope that His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty can allow mutual trade on the border. I guarantee that the prices of the goods we provide are fair and fair. The Han has
We need the cloth and farm tools; we have the animal skins and herbs that the big man needs. This is a win-win situation. I also ask Su Changshi to report it to His Majesty the Emperor."
After a long time, Zhao Wen said nothing more, and Su Ren asked doubtfully: "Is it over?"
"It's over! This is the request of our small country of South Vietnam. From now on, South Vietnam will become a strong country and follow our lead!"
Su Ren stretched and grinned: "It doesn't sound like much. I just want to ask, are the South Vietnamese Han?"
"Hahaha, Su Changshi is joking. The South Vietnamese are South Vietnamese and the Han people are Han people. How can the South Vietnamese be Han people?"
"Oh!" Su Ren nodded and continued: "As far as I know, the South Vietnam Kingdom was created by the Qin general Zhao Tuo. In order to quell the rebellion of the Yue people in the south of Lingnan, Qin Shihuang sent general Zhao Tuo to lead troops to guard it, and also sent troops from the interior to guard it.
Tens of thousands of families migrated, and hundreds of thousands of people came to Lingnan. After the Qin Dynasty was destroyed, Zhao Tuo established himself as the king of South Vietnam. He should be the ancestor of Dr. Zhao. Over the past hundred years, the Han people and the Yue people have merged with each other.
With you, I’m afraid I can’t tell whether you are Han or Yue, right?”
"In addition, as far as I know, Nanyue King Zhao Xing had the intention to attach it, but many people in the country objected, so he did not say it clearly. Doctor Zhao is the cousin of the Nanyue King. You should also know about this matter. Your country has already decided
Attached, what is the use of Dr. Zhao talking about these things? It would be better to come up with something practical!"
Just as Zhao Wengang was about to open his mouth, Su Renyi raised his hand and continued: "Tell the truth, Doctor Zhao, I have prepared large pieces of fields and houses in Jianghuai and other places for the purpose of moving the Yue people inward, whether it is Fujian, Vietnam, or South Vietnam.
Or Dongou and Luoyue, they are all under planning, so it is better not to make these small calculations of the King of Nanyue."
Zhao Wen blushed, his neck thickened, and looked at Su Ren. He no longer had the calmness and calmness he had just now: "What if we don't want to?"
"If you don't want to do better, save my place!" Su Ren said with a smile and calmly: "The envoy has lived here in Kuaiji for some time. He should know the courage of our Majesty. If the envoy goes to Chang'an, he will still use the same rhetoric just now.
I would like to advise you that it is better not to go. It is better to go back and persuade the King of Nanyue and everyone in the court to come up with a solution as soon as possible to avoid being in a hurry."
Zhao Wen took a deep breath and said nothing, but his mood for drinking was much lighter. Gongsun He on the side laughed: "Drink, drink, let's not talk about these things today, just drink! Su Ziheng's good wine is nothing
I can drink it all the time, but it’s not easy to take out so much today.”
There was another Yue man who came with Zhao Wen. From the first time he met this man, Su Ren had a deep impression on him. He had never heard this man say a word and looked at everyone with cold eyes.
No matter what Zhao Wen or the person opposite said, that person's face was always as calm as water.
Gongsun He picked up the wine bottle and said to the man: "We have been talking for a long time and this dear friend has not been introduced yet. Doctor Zhao, this is your fault."
Zhao Wen glanced at the man and saw that he had no reaction and said, "This is the deputy envoy!"
Su Ren suddenly laughed and said: "It can't be your crown prince or something, right? The last envoy sent by the Minyue Kingdom to the Hengshan Kingdom was the crown prince and the prime minister. Later, he died. This joke has become a big joke."
Zhao Wen's heart tightened, and he couldn't help but glance at the man again. The man still had the same expression on his face and was sitting there quietly.
Gongsun He said with a smile: "Speaking of which, the King of Minyue is quite interesting. His people died for some unknown reason, but he blamed us and almost cost his own life, so he left unwillingly.
, I guess he knows the current affairs, otherwise the Minyue Kingdom would have been destroyed in an instant!"
"Su Changshi's bombs are really powerful!" the deputy envoy who had been silent suddenly said: "When the two armies meet, if the bombs can be thrown over, the opponent will suffer heavy casualties. Unfortunately, the terrain is overgrown with forests and is not suitable for this.
Object."
"He is still a good soldier!" Su Rennao looked at the deputy envoy with interest: "It is indeed not suitable, so I am not in a hurry to take action. I am thinking of a way. I wonder if the deputy envoy has any suggestions?"
The deputy envoy glanced at Su Ren, as if he were looking at an idiot. He looked away and continued to drink. Su Ren was bored and laughed at himself: "Don't worry, we have plenty of time to think of a solution. No.
It's just a vast jungle. The worst I can do is burn it down, so I won't have to look for you one by one."
Zhao Wen was shocked: "How could this happen? Su Changshi knows that the country is covered in jungle. If a fire is lit, nothing can survive!"
"Then I can't care. We are not Han people anyway."
"You!" Zhao Wen was choked and became speechless, pouting angrily: "Su Changshi, what do you want?"
Su Ren shook his head and picked up his wine glass coolly: "I don't know what I want? This question needs to be thought about by those of you who think you are superior. Until I get something that I am satisfied with, maybe I will let you go."
"really?"
Su Ren glanced at Zhao Wen: "Let's give it a try?"
After seeing off the Yue people, Su Ren asked Huang Shisan to get a table and place it in the courtyard. This was not his home, and there was nothing in the yard. The square and square courtyard really looked like the mouth of a well. He could only raise his head.
Seeing that small piece of heaven and earth. The sun was rising high, and the weather was already getting hot. The thick robe was a bit stuffy on the body. Su Ren simply took off his outer clothes to cool himself down a little.
It gets hotter in the south than in the north. It’s only May and we can’t stay under the sun for long, but Su Ren likes to sit in the yard and drink tea. He looked up at the sun in the sky and it was very dazzling: “I’m looking for someone tomorrow.
Put a shed on the roof and the sun will kill you."
Huang Yue chuckled: "Is it still hot? If it comes to the rainy season, it will not only be hot, but also stuffy. It will be humid from morning to night, and the whole body will feel like being soaked in water. What will Brother Su do at that time?"
"
"No fan?"
"Fan? What is a fan?"
Su Ren took a sip, knowing that he had said too much again, and shook his head: "You don't understand even if I tell you, you will know when the weather gets hot."
In the afternoon of that day, Zhao Wen personally delivered the first batch of gifts, which were nothing more than gold, silver and jewelry. A whole cart was placed in the yard with glittering gold and it was very dazzling. Su Ren only took one look at it and asked Huo Jin and Shi Bao to give it to them.
Move all the things down.
Zhao Wen didn't see the expression on Su Ren's face. When he came here, he knew that these things would be wasted, and it turned out to be the case when he got here. He thought that his boss underestimated the boy in front of him, with this little money.
The emperor of the Han Dynasty would not look down upon someone who could be dismissed easily. He and Su Ren said nothing more, drank a glass of water and left.
Li Danghu's brows furrowed again: "Since you don't like it, why do you want to accept it?"
Gongsun He patted Li Danghu on the shoulder: "Su Ziheng, you still don't know that as a money-crazy person, he will never give up his money. Even though he doesn't like these things, they are money after all. How can he let them go?"
Su Ren laughed loudly and gave Gongsun He a thumbs up: "Brother Gongsun understands me. It is the time when we are short of money to build a new city!" (To be continued)
