Chapter 690: Futu Sect (Asking for Votes)
"Military affairs, do you know the cost of delaying for a while?"
Zhou Qing shook his head, since the Captain's Mansion asked for horses at this time, it must be useful, otherwise it would not be like this, and Meng Tian of the Jiuyuan Battalion, the recruitment of the new army, is also the time to purchase a large number of war horses.
Ming Sui went east, the Xiongnu in the north definitely wanted to take the opportunity to go south, and the Jiuyuan camp is the barrier, if there are not enough war horses, how to resist the Huns, Lantian camp, Guanwai camp If there are not enough war horses, how to go east out of Hangu.
Since the matter has happened, it is necessary to try our best to solve it, although the matter is difficult, but Longxi and Beidi are not even unable to search for 200,000 war horses, although the magic power has not been used, it can also vaguely guess the meaning of Wu Shilu.
It is nothing more than a plot between one's own interests and the weighing of military affairs.
"I'm scared below."
Wu Shilu's eyebrows were lowered, and he didn't dare to say more, and Wu Yingyuan on his side also bowed deeply.
"Have you ever been to the Yueshi, Wusun and other countries?"
Zhou Qing asked again.
"Over the years, I have also been there several times, out of the west of the great river, there are all countries, occupying many desert green areas, and the Yueshi and Wusun are the two most powerful countries."
"It's just that although the two countries are strong, the war horses needed by the people under their command are mostly purchased from the Xiongnu and the countries further west, and the horses produced by their own countries are even more horses, which are used to transport grain, grass, or meat, and are thought to be horses for war, which are slightly insufficient."
Wu Shilu felt a little and slowly responded.
Unexpectedly, Marquis Wu Zhenhou is not ignorant of the land of Longxi, but although the countries west of the river also have war horses, there are very few war horses that are really suitable for military needs, and he has always purchased them from the northern Xiongnu.
Occasionally, I also buy a little from Yueshi and Wusun, but the proportion is too small and too small.
"In this way, Ming Sui really can't prepare the war horses for Xianyang?"
Zhou Qing didn't know where the horses of Yu Yue's and Wusun belonged to, but in his own opinion, it was not a problem, the world was bustling, all for profit, as long as there were enough benefits, whether it was the Xiongnu or the horses of the Western Regions, they could be transported.
Move your eyes away from Wu Shilu's body and look around, the city here belongs to it, not far from Tianshui Lake, and far away from the border of Daqin, although it is only nine miles now, it can continue to extend one or two days.
"Qianhong!"
Without waiting for Wu Shilu to respond, Zhou Qing set his eyes on Bai Qianhong.
"Your Excellency."
Take a step forward and bow down.
"From now on, with you as the leader, prepare for the establishment of the Tianshui Chamber of Commerce, assist the Wushi to prepare the war horses before the next year, and at the same time, open up a trade route from Tianshui to the Xiongnu, Yueshi, Wusun and other countries."
This idea has been mentioned to Bai Qianhong, and now with Wu Shilu here, and there is such a problem, it is a good opportunity, and the main road in the long river of years is also suitable to open up now.
"Yes, sir."
Bai Qianhong nodded lightly, and her heart was already prepared.
"Wu Shilu, over the years, you have made many meritorious contributions to Daqin, and now that Ben Hou heard about this matter, he should help himself, what do you think?"
Then, he looked at Wu Shilu again.
"This ......, thank you Wu Zhenhou for your help."
Wu Shilu's heart suddenly suddenly, and his expression was a little unnaturally difficult to see, originally before the beginning of spring next year, if he didn't pay any price, of course he could get together 200,000 war horses.
But at that time, nearly half of the manpower and material resources of the entire Wu family will be lost, and if you want to recover, it will take at least a few years, and as far as you know, there will be great movements in the Qin State next year.
At that time, the 50,000 war horses of the Lantian camp will attack first, and the 100,000 war horses of the Jiuyuan camp will be a little later, so that it will not damage the policy of the great kingdom too much, and they will not suffer too many losses.
But I never imagined that Wu Zhenhou would have such a hand.
Directly with the help of what he wants today, set up a chamber of commerce here, with the energy of Wu Zhenhou, how can he compete with it, and it seems that he will explicitly assist himself in preparing war horses.
In fact, it may not be that he wants to meddle in the business affairs of Longxi in the face of the northern Xiongnu and the countries of the Western Regions?
Could this be what the king intended?
Or is it said that Wu Zhenhou planned it himself, among the six countries of Shandong, Wu Zhenhou set up heaven and earth and a book pavilion, and the absolute daily progress of the gold, in just a few years, I am afraid that the wealth accumulated is comparable to the entire Wu family.
"You...... Don't want Benhou's help with you? ”
Zhou Qing looked at Wu Shilu with a smile.
"No, with the help of Marquis Wuzhen, I can't ask for it."
Wu Shilu hurriedly shook his head.
"Don't worry, in the future, the cattle, sheep, war horses and other things needed by the army of the Qin State still need you to dispatch from it, and the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce by Benhou is for the future, how to enter the eyes of Benhou."
It can be seen that Wu Shilu's heart is extremely trembling at this moment, and Zhou Qing also understands what the other party thinks, within the Qin State, if the court wants to bow down to him, then, no matter how big his business is, he will not have any power to fight back at all.
"Thank you, Marquis Wu."
Wu Shi has palpitations, although Wu Zhenhou said this, but he is not sure what to plan next, it seems that the business travel in Longxi is going to make a big move.
"Red-haired, blue-eyed, white-skinned, and the people of the Western Regions who built the city?"
There was no more entanglement with the Wu clan in the business and travel problems, before marching into the city, in addition to the black-haired and black-eyed old Qin people, there were obviously foreign people above the city.
Whether it is skin color, hair color, or eye color, they are all very different from each other.
"My lord, west of the big river, there are many countries, wars are frequent, and here in Longxi, it has been quiet for more than 100 years.
"It's just that there are obvious differences in hair color and skin color, but I can already speak the language of the Qin Kingdom."
Bai Qianhong approached with her, those people seemed to be from the Western Regions, but in fact, their household registration was already within the Qin State, and this time they built the city of Tianshui and were transferred from a radius of five hundred miles to serve, and those people were also listed.
"Not bad."
"These people may be of great use when you open up trade routes in the future."
Inner Zhuxia, outside Yidi, distinguish between them, in fact, they are mostly divided by customs and cultures, this point, within Zhuxia, Zhao State did the best, the former Zhao Wuling King Hu Fu rode and shot, in just a few years, it was to integrate Beihu into Zhao State, and open up thousands of miles.
In this way, King Zhao Wuling's strategy should also be used in Longxi.
******
"I've seen my lord!"
This time I came to Longxi Tianshui, in fact, to make it convenient for Bai Qianhong to act next, after the visit to Wushi, and then, almost every day, officials from Longxi came to come.
Bai Qianhong followed her side to show that she attached importance to it, and also sounded a wake-up call to the people of Longxi, here at any time in the old Qin ancestral land, the old scholar clan is rampant, but the old scholar clan is no longer the old scholar clan more than a hundred years ago.
If someone shows the domineering of the old warrior clan here, then he will not be polite to him.
What's more, now he has added the big sacrificial wine for the Protector Palace, and under the reception day by day, it is also the joy of the guests and hosts.
Half a month later, Mo Crow, Bai Feng, Parrot Song, Xiao Wu and many others returned from the west of the river, and their faces were covered with wind and dust, and even Parrot Song's white and tender skin was a little rough.
In the courtyard in the city of Pingxiang, everyone stood in the hall, saluting and speaking.
"This is to the west of the river, do you hear anything?"
Among all the people, Parrot Song and Mo Crow have already broken through to the realm of transforming gods, and Bai Feng is also approaching that level, Xiao Wu and the ten of them are not far away, their eyes swept over the figures, and they asked with great interest.
"To the west of the big river, there are many countries, most of them are deserts, and the cities rely on big rivers and lakes, and our trip took more than two months all the way, almost crossing the country of Wusun."
"Because of customs, language, and other problems, it is to return."
The turquoise skirt covered the body, and the spirit on the beautiful face, Parrot Song took a step forward, and fell crisply, and the things that had been rolling in his mind for months were really eye-opening.
Unexpectedly, outside of Zhuxia, there is such a world, whether it is the Yueshi, or Wusun, or the small countries in the Western Regions further west, they all have their own characteristics, although some countries are very small, and even the Qin State does not have a large county, but it is a country of its own.
Among them, the most powerful ones are the Yueshi and Wusun experienced on this trip, both countries have more than 100,000 people who control the strings, and the people exceed 500,000, dominating the Western Regions, and can vaguely compete with the Xiongnu in the north.
"Is there a martial arts powerhouse there?"
Flame Spirit Ji, who was waiting by Zhou Qing's side, asked a question that he was most concerned about.
Some time ago, Gongzi promised himself that if there were no martial arts powerhouses in the Western Regions, then he could return to Xianyang, and now that they have returned, they should know best about this matter.
"Martial arts powerhouse?"
"Yes!"
Parrot Song glanced at Flame Spirit Ji with a little curiosity, and although it was strange to the question, she still nodded.
"How strong?"
"Have you ever fought each other?"
Flame Spirit Ji's heart suddenly sudden, could it really be that there is really a martial arts powerhouse?
Today's parrot song is already a god powerhouse, can he be called a strong man, is it true that there is an existence at the level of a child?
"Most of our trips are in the Yueshi and Wusun countries, and most of the martial arts powerhouses in the two countries are at the level of transforming gods, during this period, Mo Crow has fought with them once, and I also know a little, their cultivation method is from the west, it seems to be some kind of vindictive cultivation."
"Among them, the strong one is not inferior to me and the ink crow, and within the country, there is a sacrificial existence, with a wonderful power like the wise man of the Yin and Yang family, and as for the stronger one, I have encountered it twice."
"Once in the Yueshi Clan, once in Wusun, they are people from the Futu Sect from the Peacock Country, bald head and bare feet, golden light to protect the body, as the ink crow said, such people have appeared in the Zhao Kingdom!"
Parrot Song's expression was slightly solemn, originally thought that outside of Zhuxia, there were no strong people, but he never thought that within the Yueshi and Wusun countries, although the number of strong people was not much, they did exist.
Moreover, they also met a stronger person, according to Mo Crow's words, they have definitely reached the level of half-step enlightenment and return, and even higher is not sure, because that realm is too far away from them to figure it out.
