Chapter 321: Recalling old things
Chen Ping was obviously prepared for this question. As soon as he heard Fusu's question, he replied: "The Huns still have to fight, but they can't fight all the time, and they can't think about annihilating their clan."
Our country, the Qin Dynasty, cannot withstand such consumption and may even arouse dissatisfaction among the people. Secondly, as Chao Ang said, the Huns are not easy to destroy. When they were beaten to the point where they were unable to fight back, the Emperor
Then they can send people to the grassland, talk to Na Maodun, and propose to open a forecourt on the edge of the grassland. After seeing that Da Qin's strength is not something they can easily provoke, and then learning that we intend to open a forecourt for trade,
I think that Mao Dundang will not refuse. In this way, the warlike nature of the Huns will be ignored."
Fusu nodded in approval. It was indeed a combination of kindness and power. Giving someone a candied date after a slap would make people more docile. But then he thought of the problem he just mentioned, that is, Da Qin's low productivity is not enough to satisfy those people.
The Huns on the grassland, so he looked at Chen Ping with questioning eyes. However, Chen Ping did not continue what he said, but gave Zhang Liang, who had been silent, a wink.
In fact, Zhang Liang and Chen Ping discussed these ideas together, but they kept them in their hearts because Fusu had been too arbitrary recently and it was difficult for the two of them to discuss them in person. Today, Fusu finally changed his mind, and Chen Ping showed it to himself
After talking about it, he did not forget about Zhang Liang and gave him a chance to make meritorious deeds. Zhang Liang understood Chen Ping's thoughts and knew that it would be unjustifiable if he remained silent at this time, so after taking a look at Chen Ping, he said: "
Your Majesty, you don’t have to worry about the lack of goods that our Daqin can trade to the grasslands. In fact, we can raise the prices of our goods in the Central Plains, only suitable for the leaders of those tribes, and the leaders can use them. Those Huns
What can be traded with us are just some dispensable furs and other items, which are far less exquisite than our ceramics and silks from the Central Plains. They should be able to tell the difference. After knowing the price, I think they will not.
What do you think? In terms of food, we can lower the price. After all, the beef and mutton transported from the grassland can satisfy our hunger. Once this happens, the goods we can supply to the Huns will be enough."
Fusu thought for a moment and felt that what he said was very reasonable. Indeed, he had never thought that the goods from the Central Plains could be sold at a higher price. After thinking about this, Fusu, a brain with modern thinking,
He started to spin, and he said: "In this case, we can let the craftsmen make clothes or other utensils from the Huns' furs and other items, so that they can be resold back to the Huns. In this way, our Central Plains
Then you can get more Xiongnu goods. And once the nobles get used to these precious things produced by me in the Central Plains, they will become accustomed to it and can no longer live without my goods in the Central Plains. In this way, their
The aristocracy will be under our control." Although this is not a strange thing to any modern person, it is just a copy of what developed countries in Europe and the United States do to developing countries, but for Chen Pinghe
For Zhang Liang and Zhang Liang, it was a good idea that they had never thought of. They both praised it repeatedly and said that the emperor was thoughtful.
Fusu chuckled and said in his heart that maybe this is what makes me better than you, the wise men of the world. After solving this point, Fusu said: "This time my 30,000-strong army entered the grassland and caused a lot of damage to the Huns.
Due to the injury, do you think it’s time to open a trade with Na Maodun?”
Zhang Liang and Chen Ping both shook their heads and said: "Now is not the time. This time our Qin army invaded the grassland with 30,000 people. Although we killed many of them, most of them were civilians. The impact on the Xiongnu army was not too great. On the contrary,
It has aroused the hatred of the Huns towards our Great Qin. If the Emperor sends people to negotiate at this time, the Huns will definitely not agree. Now we can only implement this plan after fighting the Huns again and inflicting heavy losses on them."
Fu Su said: "I think so too, but after that group of troops made such a fuss, all the Huns have fled further north. I'm afraid it will be quite difficult for our army to attack the Huns from the north."
"Your Majesty, you actually had a good way to deal with the Huns a few years ago, but later you got a better one and put this method aside. Now we can use this method again.
"Zhang Liangdao.
"Oh? What's this idea?" Fusu asked hurriedly, not remembering that he had ever had any good ideas.
Zhang Liangdao: "Does the emperor still remember Li Shiqi? Wasn't it that the emperor summoned him to Xianyang at that time to send him as an envoy to the Dayue clan? Later, he proposed to use the strategy of alienating the Xiongnu ethnic groups, so that the emperor
We gave up the plan of sending an envoy to the Yuezhi Kingdom and sent him to the grassland instead. Now we can reuse this strategy and send people to contact the Yuezhi people and let them attack us, the Qin Dynasty, from both sides. Then the Xiongnu will definitely be defeated.
When the time comes when we bring up trade with the Huns, they won’t refuse.”
Fusu stroked his palm and said: "Yes, this matter is indeed feasible. I really forgot that I had this idea. Now I have just implemented my old plan again and sent people to Yuezhi. But are these Yuezhi people willing to cooperate with us in Daqin?
Join hands? Who should be sent there? It's a pity that Mr. Li was exposed and killed by the Huns after he completed his mission, otherwise he would be a good choice."
Chen Ping said: "The scouts sent to look for General Zidu and the 30,000 troops these days have never found their whereabouts. However, they found out that the Huns did not dare to go south to invade our country, so they extended their hands to the Qin Dynasty.
As for the Yuezhi people, the Yuezhi people have also been invaded this year. If Da Qin sends envoys to negotiate, they will naturally not refuse. As for the candidate for the envoy, I think Chao Ang is very good.
It's appropriate. He can talk so eloquently in front of the emperor, and he won't be timid when he goes to the Yuezhi, which will disgrace the face of the Qin Dynasty. Moreover, the idea of trade with the Xiongnu was also proposed by him, so he can implement it just right.
This plan gives him a chance to make meritorious deeds. I wonder what the emperor wants?"
Fusu thought about it, although he felt that his proposal to let Chao An go to Yuezhi felt a bit like Chen Ping's attempt to kill someone with a knife. After all, there were still great risks in going to Yuezhi, such as being intercepted and killed by the Huns or being killed by the Yuezhi.
Killing people if they don't agree with it, but this is indeed a good way to make great achievements and stand out, and this Chao Ang does have courage and strategy that ordinary people don't have, and he is indeed suitable for this, so he said: "That's fine, I'll wait until tomorrow."
After issuing an edict and making him an admonishing doctor, he ordered him to prepare to go to Yuezhi." At this point, he paused and said, "Chen Qing, your eldest son is now nearly forty, right?"
Chen Ping has three sons. The eldest son is thirty-seven years old, but he still cannot find an official position in the imperial court. This makes Chen Ping always worried. Now when he heard Fusu ask this question, he only regarded him as the emperor.
It was time to promote his son, so he hurriedly replied: "Quan Zi is already thirty and seven years old, and he is still studying at home. Thank you for your help, your Majesty."
"You have also made a lot of contributions to me as emperor. In addition to yourself, I should also give some rewards to your descendants. But because I am afraid that some people in the government and the public will say that you are pretending to be a public servant, I have never been able to give you a nephew.
, today coincides with this matter, let him follow Chao An to the Yueshi. When they return safely, they will have made great achievements, and I will naturally reward him." Fusu said lightly.
"...I thank the Emperor..." Chen Ping hesitated and knelt down to thank him. He knew that the Emperor was giving him face. After knowing his thoughts, he did not expose him on the spot, but asked him to send his son as well.
Taking risks. Thinking that Fusu's skills and scheming are getting more and more powerful, Chen Pingzi can't help but sweat on his back in this warm spring mood.
Zhang Liang could only smile bitterly. In fact, he had worked with Chen Ping for a long time, and he knew that this colleague was not very tolerant. Now that Chao An appeared, he would definitely find some way to tie him down, but in the end
While he was hurting others, Chen Ping also got his own son involved. It's hard to tell the difference between gain and loss.
"Okay, let's go back and see if there are any other outstanding articles. My discomfort has been relieved." Fusu said and turned around and walked back. One of the two people behind him had a bitter face, and the other smiled bitterly.
Endless.
The next day, an imperial edict was promulgated that made everyone envious. An unknown young man was named a doctor of admonition by the emperor just because of an article and a conversation. It can be said that he rose to the top in one step. Others
The candidates all began to inquire about what kind of person this person named Chao Ang was and what background he had that allowed the emperor to use him in such an unusual way. However, the news they received was that this person did not have any relatives who were officials in the court.
This made other candidates even more jealous, and at the same time gave them greater confidence that one day they would be as successful as him.
Chao Ang, who didn't know that he had made a live advertisement for the imperial examination, was kneeling in the palace with excitement and listening to the emperor's canonization, but his last words made his face look a little solemn: "I ordered to advise the doctor Chao Ang.
Three days later, he led his troops to the Yuezhi Kingdom in the north to discuss with them how to attack the Xiongnu together."
Although Chao Ang was excited that he was about to become a high-ranking official in the court, he still felt a little uneasy when he thought about going to the other side of the grassland and having to go through many difficulties before returning, or even not being able to return to the Central Plains...
But at this time, in the Yuezhi Kingdom that Fusu and the others wanted to win over, there was a group of people who they had never imagined were already discussing about joining hands...
