Chapter 302 Crouching Dragon and Phoenix
System: [At that time, Qin Fu's cousin was also there. After hearing this, he said very seriously, "My son has given birth to many children and has made great sacrifices. Should I be the emperor?" Qin Fu's cousin argued, "Of course not! Whoever's son takes the throne will be the emperor." The two quarreled over this and had a fight.]
The Emperor and the Crown Prince: ...
Yuan Ruan almost laughed himself to death: [They had a fight over something that hadn’t even been decided yet?!]
System: [To be precise, they fought several times. They almost broke down. In the end, Qin Fu couldn't stand them anymore and beat them all up. But before he left, he encouraged them to have more children and not raise them. Then, Qin Fu arranged for people to take all the children away and prepare to raise the next generation.]
Yuan Ruan laughed so hard that he leaned back.
Fortunately, the emperor was quick to catch Yuanruan and prevented her from falling.
Yuan Ruan: [Hahahaha… I am dying of laughter. It seems that Qin Fu has given up hope on the previous generation. What kind of outrageous operations are these? What are they thinking?]
System: [Isn't it... With such descendants, it's not surprising that King Xin of Qin lost to your brother.]
emperor:……
For some reason I felt like even my win was a bit beneath my status.
He recalled King Xin of Qin who was strong throughout his life, and really wanted to add that King Xin of Qin was very powerful, but his descendants were not very lucky.
Yuan Ruan: [That's not true. A PhD from Peking University or Tsinghua University can also produce a poor student. Just because King Qin Xin's son is not good doesn't mean King Qin Xin is not good. My brother is still strong enough to win. If that's the case, then the Xue family doesn't seem to have anything good.]
System: [Hmm, Ah Ruan. The Xue family has one that might be good. But now that Wu Yi has won the battle, it probably isn't that important. It's the divination map from the previous trade between Chen State and Dayuezhi, and a list of some merchants...]
Yuanruan couldn't help but interrupt the system: [Tong'er! There is such a good thing! A list of major merchants? ]
System: [Yes, yes! Is this still important? ]
Yuanruan said seriously: [This is extremely important! My glass needs such a sucker, no, a big dog customer, no... a buyer with real power. Very good, this one is enough.]
There was a gleam of light in the eyes of the emperor and the prince.
Yuanruan is right.
Kanyutu can save Wu Yi time in conquering, governing and settling the territory.
The list of major merchants of Dayuezhi is even more important.
System: [Ah? Buyers? Ah Ruan, are you planning to do business with them? I thought that with the list of these big merchants, I could just let Wu Yi go and grab them.]
The prince almost fell down: System, are you really the treasure left by the orthodox gods? Why do you look like the thing of the demon cultivators in the story books, snatching and killing at every turn?
Wait, I can’t complain like that…
The prince subconsciously glanced at his father and was shocked to find that this time his father did not agree, but was shaking his head slightly.
Yuan Ruan rubbed his hands excitedly: [Grab a wave? No, that won't do. Wouldn't that kill the sheep? Tong'er, only long-term foreign trade can make rice. And you also said that they are big merchants, with the ability to stock goods and a wide network of contacts. Instead of grabbing them, why not let them act as a medium to bring the glass back to the country for sale. Yes, not only glass, but also porcelain, silk, etc., all the products of Daxia can be sold...]
The prince nodded slightly. Yes, Ah Ruan was right.
This is probably the reason why my father did not agree with the system before. In Yuanruan’s words, it is about sustainable development.
System: […Hmm. Ah Ruan is right. I’ll write it down.]
Yuanruan saw that the system was so serious and coughed lightly: "Don't rush to remember it. I still need to think more about how to use it for external merchants and how to price the glass for internal use. Anyway, it won't be a big mistake to keep more customers."
The system suddenly said: [Ah Ruan, what if the Great Yuezhi already have glass, or they are not interested in this fragile thing? ]
Yuan Ruan: [Even if they have it, they definitely don’t have the craftsmanship here. The gold bracelet and the gold wire crafts are two different prices, don’t worry.]
The system nodded repeatedly and chatted briefly with Yuanruan.
Then Yuanruan used the turtle shell and the Eight Trigrams to divine, and got chicken legs for the big yellow dog and the lone wolf, as well as a permit for the lone wolf to live in the Imperial Master's Mansion.
Finally, Yuanruan and the system returned satisfied.
The emperor watched them enter the Imperial Master's Mansion.
The emperor immediately summoned the Minister of War, Prime Minister Li, and the Minister of Revenue.
The prince tried his best to leave out the melodramatic content and mainly told the news about Dayuezhi and others.
However, the explosive contents such as "the corpses of the three members of the family in Kujing" and "Qin Fu's silencing of mouths" were glossed over. This feeling of half-covering the face with a lute made the three court officials even more itchy.
But they didn't dare to ask, and could only look at the prince with helpless and expectant eyes.
Prince: ...
——Pretend not to see.
The emperor was dissatisfied with the silence of the crowd, so he gently knocked on the table and asked: "Minister of War, remember to send the list of the Great Yuezhi to Wu Yi, and let him get in touch with the military strength of the Great Yuezhi and compare it with our army."
Prince: !!!
The emperor said to the Minister of Revenue, "It is inconvenient for the army to go to the north. At present, even the grasslands that have been conquered are not easy to station troops. The Great Yuezhi is even farther away. My dear, please calculate the cost of transporting supplies and the time it takes to migrate the population, and weigh which method is more beneficial to the Xia Kingdom."
The Minister of Revenue received the order.
The prince finally couldn't help but ask, "Father, are you going to capture Dayuezhi?"
The emperor glanced at him oddly: "No."
The prince breathed a sigh of relief, but then his pupils shrank.
"It depends on the military strength of Dayuezhi and whether Daxia can control them after taking them." The emperor retracted his gaze. "If we can't control them, the ones who will benefit after we take them down will be the Xiongnu or other foreign tribes in the north. It would be better to do business." When he said the second half of the sentence, the emperor's voice was obviously filled with regret.
Prince: ...
Although what he said is true.
but……
It turns out that when you shook your head and said you didn't support the system, it was because you wanted to defeat the opponent directly!
Father is worthy of being the Emperor. In Yuan Ruan’s words, your personality is very stable.
…
A slightly bustling street in Xishi.
Suddenly, countless burly soldiers wearing helmets and armor poured in.
Pedestrians on the roadside were so frightened that they stood against the wall, people sitting nearby eating noodles didn't even dare to move their chopsticks, and the residents on the second floor closed their windows one after another.
But it is human nature to eat melons. Even if they are afraid in their hearts, they always observe secretly.
Not long after, a luxury mansion in Xishi was sealed off.
Carriages loaded with valuable items such as books, paintings, and porcelain came out of the West Market in an endless stream, followed by a long line of men and women with shackles on their hands and feet.
The people who were waiting on the second floor nearby stared at him intently. After everyone had left, he pretended to be nonchalant and walked towards the North City.
As I was walking, suddenly the figure disappeared.
