Chapter 2289: Qinnan International Trade, the Alliance for Dispute
All ordinary people can do things like martial arts competitions and brides, as long as it does not cause unrest, the government will not care about it.
But if an envoy of a country sets up a arena in other countries and charges fees to compete for martial arts and brides, it will definitely attract imagination, and it will be inappropriate after all.
To put it simply, it only adds jokes, which will damage the image of the country;
To put it bluntly, there is suspicion of provocation and undermining the diplomatic relations between the two countries.
If the hostile country does this, Ying Hao may use this as an excuse to blackmail some benefits, but the Southern Barbarians cannot do this. After all, the Southern Barbarians are not only an ally, but also an ally more reliable than Wei and Song.
Although the Wei and Song dynasties were preparing to marry the Qin Dynasty, even if they successfully married, the relationship between the three countries would be in harmony and a war would be inevitable sooner or later. On the contrary, the Southern Barbarians were completely different.
The Southern Barbarians do not border the Qin State, and the two countries have no conflict of interest, so they can cooperate with confidence to use the Southern Barbarians to drag down some of the Shu State''s army.
The military strength of the Southern Barbarians is actually not weak. They can even bring up 200,000 troops in local operations, but due to their national strength, so each battle in Yizhou can only dispatch up to 100,000 troops, and they cannot fight a protracted war.
It is precisely because of this that even with a top commander like Chi You, the Southern Barbarians still cannot defeat the Shu army and seize Yizhou.
At present, Ying Hao has reached a consensus with his advisers, that is, to support the Southern Barbarians to fight against Shu during the period of rest and recuperation, so that he has been in a war and cannot recover his national strength, so as to weaken Shu''s national strength.
Of course, there are certain risks in doing this. If Chiyou conquers Shu Kingdom, it will be a disaster. Therefore, the support for the Southern Barbarians cannot be too strong, and the national strength must not be increased to the point where it can annex Shu Kingdom.
The Qin Dynasty wanted to use the Southern Barbarians to restrain and deal with Shu Kingdom, and the Southern Barbarians also wanted to use the Qin Dynasty''s resources to develop and grow. There was no conflict between the two sides, so the relationship between the two countries was naturally better, and 8 transaction plans have been negotiated so far.
Nowadays, the Southern Barbarians are untapped, poor mountains and rivers, and extremely low productivity. They are a veritable wilderness.
After Chiyou unified the Southern Barbarian tribes, the Southern Barbarians had no internal friction and their population also ushered in rapid growth, but the national GDP remained unchanged, so it could not support so many people at all, and a large number of people could not even have a full meal.
It’s not that Chiyou didn’t think about developing and building the Nanman, but this is simply impossible in the short term, and Nanman does not have any talent who is good at governance.
It is precisely because Chiyou will continue to lead his army to attack Shu, because once he occupys Yizhou, the Southern Barbarians can completely solve the food crisis. Even if they fail, they can reduce the population pressure. Whether it is victory or defeat, it is a good thing for the Southern Barbarians.
Although the Southern Barbarians are so poor that they can’t even eat, luxury goods such as jade, agate, ivory, as well as rare medicinal materials such as wild yam, fusanthemum, donkey-hide gelatin are piled up everywhere, and they can’t even sell them if you want to.
Therefore, the Daqin could use grain, salt, cloth, agricultural tools and other daily necessities to trade with the Nanman in exchange for these luxury goods and medicinal materials that were useless to the Nanman, but had great value to the Daqin.
If this transaction is completed, it will be of great benefit to the Qin Dynasty and the Southern Barbarians. Zhurong has no reason to refuse, so he agreed happily.
Ying Hao also knew that the Southern Barbarian Army was poor. In order to show sincerity to consolidate the alliance, he also gave Zhurong a thousand swords, five hundred large shields, and one hundred war horses.
Seeing that Qin Hao was so generous, Zhu Rong was so happy, so he climbed up the pole and proposed to buy weapons, war horses, and armor.
Military purchases are different from previous transactions. The overall amount is too large, and the Southern Barbarians are so poor that the ivory medicinal materials accumulated in the warehouse may not be enough to get enough excellent equipment.
Zhurong is not greedy either. He is planning to trade the equipment of a 10,000 army first, and then trade according to the situation after returning to China.
Ying Hao naturally did not refuse this, but he did not expect that the Southern Barbarians were so poor that they could not even afford the deposit, so he asked Zhurong to pay a symbolic payment of tens of thousands of dollars as the deposit.
But at the critical moment of the two countries'' international trade, Zhurong set up a martial arts competition in Luoyang to attract brides, which really makes people have to doubt her intention.
Ying Hao and Zhurong didn’t have many contacts, but they also knew that Zhurong was not the kind of person who didn’t know the importance of it, so they were even more curious about why she did such unnecessary things.
Fortunately, Zhu Rong deliberately concealed his identity, so he did not make it complicated to attract brides in martial arts competitions. After all, anything or politics will become less simple.
After the battle with Yue Yun, Zhurong took people back to the embassy directly.
Although she failed to earn ten thousand gold in this competition, she also gained a lot. If she was on the stage for a few days, she might be able to earn ten thousand gold.
"Princess, do you still have to set up a ring?" Xian Chan said with a sad face.
"Of course I have to make it happen, otherwise how can I earn the deposit back?"
Zhu Rong said with confidence, but he regretted his rash behavior of betting on horses in his heart.
This time the transaction with Daqin is extremely important, and there must be no difference, so she would rather go to the ring to make money by herself than complete this transaction.
At this moment, the deputy envoy Meng Lin hurriedly broke in and said seriously: "Princess, Lord Zhang Yi has come and he has specifically asked about the intention of attracting brides in martial arts competition."
"Make money, otherwise what else can you do?" Zhu Rong said as expected.
"Your Highness, if you are an ordinary person, it is natural that you will do nothing, but your current identity is the envoy of the Southern Kingdom, which represents the entire Nanguo. Do you think the Qin Dynasty would believe in martial arts competitions and recruiting brides just to make money?"
Hearing this, Zhu Rong immediately reacted, and a layer of cold sweat oozed out of her forehead. She ignored that she had another layer of identity.
"I will go to the palace and explain it to Emperor Qin in person."
After saying that, Zhu Rong got up and left. After some communication, he finally met Ying Hao as he wished.
After hearing Zhu Rong''s explanation, Ying Hao was even more surprised.
Zhurong actually lost the deposit because he lost the deposit in the city and earned the registration fee under the pretext of attracting a marriage competition. It seems that he and Wang Meng are thinking too much.
Sure enough, smart people just think too much.
"I don''t know if the Lord can earn enough deposit?" Ying Hao asked.
Seeing that Ying Hao had no intention of pursuing him, Zhu Rong felt relieved and said embarrassedly: "Not yet, but if he was put on the three-day ring, no, two days, he would definitely be able to get it all together."
When Ying Hao heard this, he asked speechlessly: "Do you still want to put it on?"
Looking at Ying Hao''s handsome face, Zhu Rong''s face turned red inexplicably and he stuttered, "No, can''t it be?"
"Today, the envoy defeated many young players from the Qin Dynasty. If the arena is still set up tomorrow, it will definitely attract more challenges.
The already famous generals will naturally not make things difficult for you due to their reputation, but those young and energetic young generals do not have these concerns. ”
"Dare you dare to ask Your Majesty, among the young generals of the Qin Dynasty, there are any of the same level as Yue Yun or even stronger?"
"Yes, and more than one." Zhu Rong was shocked after hearing this answer.
Yue Yun can play a hundred rounds with her. If she comes to a few more, she will be exhausted and will earn at most a few hundred taels a day. When will she have to collect the deposit?
But she has no other way to make money except for the competition.
After some thought, Zhu Rong had to ask for help, so he asked carefully: "Your Majesty, the ring is not allowed to be placed, but the deposit for military purchase..."
At this point, Zhu Rong felt a little disgusted, but he still said with a shameless face, "Can you give it up?"
Ying Hao refused without hesitation and said, "Of course not. If the Nanman can''t even get a deposit of ten thousand gold, what else can the next transaction be guaranteed?"
"Is it true that it''s not possible?"
Zhu Rong lowered his head with disappointed expression and began to think about using other methods to collect the deposit.
"But I have a way to make the envoy have a deposit of ten thousand yuan immediately."
Hearing Ying Hao''s words, Zhu Rong was overjoyed and asked quickly, "Do you dare to ask Your Majesty if you have any solutions?"
"The envoy defeated more than 100 challengers today, but he didn''t collect all ten thousand gold. Now I give you a chance to compete with me. As long as you can beat me alone, you can win ten thousand gold."
"What?"
Zhu Rong exclaimed, and he never expected Ying Hao to compete with her. However, after thinking that Ying Hao is also a top warrior and has a very good record, he can also understand Ying Hao''s idea of ??finding someone to fight.
"But, this is not very good."
Zhurong was moved, but hesitated a little. Ying Hao smiled and said, "Are you afraid of hurting me? It''s just a boxing and kicking competition, let''s just click."
"This, okay."
After the two arrived at the martial arts venue, Ying Hao drew a circle on the ground with a sharp sword in his hand.
"Whoever gets beaten out of this circle will lose."
"That''ll offend His Majesty."
Zhu Rong said excitedly. In her eyes, Ying Hao is already an opponent, and he is still a very strong opponent.
bump…
Only then did Zhurong suffer a loss.
After Ying Hao blocked her fist with his palm, he actually grabbed the back of her hand with a technique he had never seen before, and almost threw her out.
After the dangerous and dangerous pressing line landed, Zhu Rong thought to himself that it was so dangerous that he almost lost another ten thousand gold.
Zhurong reorganized the drum and attacked again, but found that Ying Hao''s physical skills were not weaker than her, and his internal strength was even stronger than her. The only thing she surpassed Ying Hao was speed.
The two of them quickly fought hundreds of moves in the circle, and Ying Hao also tested Zhurong''s depth.
Ying Hao has long tested Zhurong’s five-dimensionality. Zhurong’s current attributes are: Commander 90 (93), Martial power 105 (107), Intelligence 77, Politics 65, Charm 100 (102);
Although Zhurong has not reached the peak, she has already achieved the strength to defeat and is also a very strong existence among the God of War. Elementary war gods such as Yue Yun, Huang Tianxiang, and Pei Yuanqing are no longer her opponents. Once she reaches the peak, she will be the well-deserved strongest female general in the East.
Of course, even if Zhurong reaches the peak, he will still not be Ying Hao''s opponent. Who made Ying Hao have a systematic cheat?
After more than thirty moves, Ying Hao was already a little overjoyed. After all, his goal had been achieved, so he planned to deliberately let Zhurong win and give Zhurong a step forward, who could not afford the deposit.
Ying Hao deliberately revealed a flaw, and while punching the empty one, Zhu Rong punched his chest with one punch, and then flew out of the circle with the force.
Zhu Rong saw that Ying Hao was letting go, but her punch did not stop. If she hit, Ying Hao might be injured, so she hurriedly twisted her body and closed the force and changed the direction of the punch, but she was still one step slower.
Her punch hit Ying Hao''s shoulder, and Ying Hao''s punch that was supposed to be empty hit her chest, and the two of them fell out of the circle at the same time.
Zhu Rong quickly stood up and wanted Ying Hao to avenge his crime. At the same time, he realized that her daughter should have been exposed. Her face suddenly turned red, but he didn''t know that Ying Hao knew she was a woman from the beginning.
"The envoy is really amazing, I lost."
After Ying Hao got up, he patted the dust on his body, looking calm, as if he had not noticed anything.
Seeing this, Zhurong felt relieved and inexplicably disappointed, even she herself didn''t know why.
After Zhurong left, Ying Hao glanced at his right fist and said to himself, "It feels good." He was looking forward to what Zhurong in women''s clothing looked like.
After shook his head and dispelling the distracting thoughts in his heart, Ying Hao went directly to Ren Hongchang''s bedroom.
The next day, Wang Meng reported to Ying Hao in the morning court that the marriage with the three kingdoms of Wei, Song and Wu had been communicated.
Among the three kingdoms of Wei, Song and Wu, as long as the princess of Song State Zhao Linger is at the right age, the princesses of Wei and Song states are underage and cannot get married for the time being, so Wang Meng proposed to get engaged first, and it is not too late to marry after becoming an adult.
Sun Jian decisively agreed to Wang Meng''s proposal, but Cao Cao had objections.
Cao Cao had six daughters in total, but none of them were adults. However, considering the unstable relationship between Qin and Wei, he was eager to marry Qin, so he proposed to let his adopted daughter marry first and then marry her when her biological daughter became adults.
Ying Hao naturally had no objection to this. After all, Cao Cao wanted to marry his adopted daughter, but he was the number one beauty in Wei, much more beautiful than his biological daughter.
After the engagement was finalized, the cracks caused by the Tang Kingdom between the Qin, Wei, Song and Wu were also eliminated. So Ying Hao proposed to them to form a coalition forces to fight against Japan before Cao Cao, Sun Jian and Zhao Kuangyin left Luoyang.
"Crossing the sea to fight against Japanese devils?"
Cao Cao stared at him with confusion, not understanding why Ying Hao made this decision.
Sun Jian and Zhao Kuangyin were a little moved. After all, the sphere of influence of both countries was dependent on the sea and knew the harm that Japanese pirates could bring, especially the Wu Kingdom.
When the Japanese pirates invaded before, they caused considerable losses to the coastal countries, but the Wu State suffered the largest losses, and even gave up Jiangxia County, which made Sun Jian hate the Japanese pirates to the core.
Now that the Qin Dynasty wants to form a game to conquer the Japanese pirates, Sun Jian naturally cannot miss this good opportunity.
