After a few months, it was difficult to see the familiar Xiaoguan city wall again.

He stood on his heels slightly and took a look at the majestic fortress.

In my heart, it is difficult to calculate quietly.

"Will the emperor of the Han Dynasty see me?"

He looked back at the great Honglu of the Han Dynasty who was with him, and his status was equivalent to that of the minister of the Han Dynasty who was only in charge of Zuo.

The answer, of course, is self-evident.

"That's right, I've shown so much sincerity......" and thought in his heart: "It makes no sense that the emperor of the Han Dynasty won't see me!" ”

His sincerity is very good!

Not only did he tell the Han Dynasty the bottom line of Shan Yuting in advance, but he even told the Han Dynasty the strategic plan that the military ministers had planned to go west.

Such sincerity, as it should be, has been rewarded.

One of the Nine Emperors of the Han Dynasty, Da Honglu personally came to Xiaoguan to greet him, which is proof.

It's just that......

Looking at Gongsun Kunxie's appearance, he couldn't help but ask, "Da Honglu, what is your relationship with the Kun Evil King?" ”

It is really the appearance of Gongsun Kunxi, and there are too many similarities with King Kunxi.

Even, if you swap clothes for them, I'm afraid you can switch identities.

When Gongsun Kun heard this, he smiled and spit out a strange language: "What did the messenger say? ”

This is the standard Kun evil language, and it is the language that the Kun evil tribe only used when they were priests and ancestors.

"My grandfather is the son of King Yiqu...... Gongsun Kun Xie looked at the canal and carved it, and said: "Yiqu is the predecessor of today's Kun evil tribe......"

And Qu and the carving nodded in words, indicating that he understood.

Within the tribes on the steppe, there have been countless internal power struggles, and there have been many losers. Escape.

Among them, there were many people who fled to the Han Dynasty.

However, the heir of the Kunxi tribe became the great Honglu of the Han Dynasty.

This made it difficult to surprise and carve.

"Your emperor and ministers, do you know?" And the carving is difficult to ask.

The peoples of the steppe, although they never cared about their slaves and herdsmen who were once their enemies, but. They will never appoint the nobles of those enemies.

All the nomads, after defeating their enemies, will try to exterminate the nobles of the other tribe.

Because only by killing all the nobles can that the tribe be declared doomed.

Lao Shangdan defeated the Yue clan that year and killed all the captured Yue nobles.

In the same way, last year, in the war with Wusun, the Huns may have shown mercy to ordinary captured cavalrymen, but to the Wusun nobles. They will only have one choice: kill them!

All the Wusun nobles who were captured or surrendered are now either made into drinking vessels with their heads or sacrificed to the gods.

Even those officials and rebels of the Han Dynasty who had defected to the Xiongnu were actually like dogs in the Xiongnu.

Shan Yuting was extremely contemptuous of them.

This can be seen from Mao Dun's enshrinement of Lu Juan as the king of Donghu.

Donghu was the enemy of the Xiongnu, while Lu Juan was the brother of Han Taizu.

To crown him as the king of Donghu is actually to insult the Han Dynasty. But at the same time, it is also an insult to Lu Juan.

Except for Lu Xuan, the Huns did not canonize any Han dynasty people as kings.

Even if it was the one who worked hard for the Huns. The Bank of China, which was planning day and night, said that in the end, it could not escape the fate of being exiled to Beihai!

In the past, it was difficult to do it, the Xiongnu were like this, and the Han Dynasty should be like this.

But, today. And it is difficult to find out that you are wrong.

The Jiuqing of the Han Dynasty in front of him is the evidence.

"Of course I know......" Gongsun Kun said with a smile: "I am the ...... appointed by Emperor Taizong as the commander of Longyou County because of my identity as the prince of Yiqu."

Gongsun Kunxie looked at it and said, "It's not just me, it's Zhang Ni and Han Rongdang back then. Now they are all important ministers of the Han Dynasty! Han Rongdang is even already a veteran of the emperor and Han Tejin, and enjoys the right to enter the dynasty and praise the nameless! ”

He was shocked and asked, "Why don't the emperors and ministers of the Han Dynasty care that you were once the prince of Kunxi?" ”

"I am the prince of the king of Yiqu, not the prince of the king of Kunxie!" Gongsun Kunxie corrected the mistake of being difficult to carve, and he smiled slightly and said: "Yiqu, who is also a member of Zhuxia, was once ordered by the First Emperor...... Well, by the way, hundreds of years ago, the ancestors of your country were also our neighbors in Yiqu! ”

Gongsun Kunxi looked at Ganquan Mountain in the distance and said: "I think back then, the place where the Xiongnu worshiped their ancestors was in Ganquan Mountain!" ”

"In addition, there are also Lou Fu and Lin Hu, who were also members of Zhuxia, and so far, there are still positions of Captain Lou Fu and Captain Lin Hu in my Han Army!"

To deal with Yidi and barbarians, Gongsun Kunxie has already sharpened a whole set of deceptive methods - no way, now, with the country becoming stronger, there are more subject countries that Dahonglu has to manage.

It is not only necessary to manage and fool Minyue and Nanyue in the south, but also to the east, to appease the King of Canghai, King Zhenfan, King Han, and more than a dozen other kings who have been canonized, large and small.

How can I do it without fooling around?

The fact is that Gongsun Kun is still sitting in the position of Dahonglu safely, except for the fact that he changed his past mistakes and desperately knelt down after being taken off by the Son of Heaven, the most important factor is that he has done a very good job.

Whether it is the arrogant King Han, or the unruly Minyue, or the now well-behaved Nanyue.

He has a whole set of tricks, and he can always make these guys obedient.

Moreover, last year, after the imperial court released the wind and wanted to use troops against the southwest, Gongsun Kunxie immediately formulated a plan for the southwest to fool him.

Relying on the cooperation of the Nanyue people and the merchants of Shu County, now, there are already four or five monarchs of small southwestern countries who have expressed their willingness to be concubines of Hanchen.

It was this outstanding performance that allowed him to keep his position.

Otherwise......

He has already been ousted from power by the Four King Kongs who are today!

Wuyang Hou Fan City is from Fuyang Hou Chen Jia, but he has wanted to be Jiuqing for a long time.

And the people that Gongsun Kunxie is best at dealing with are undoubtedly the Huns.

Especially the leaders of those Xiongnu tribes.

Last year, for a whole year, Gongsun Kunxi worked closely with the Xiongnu Division of Xiuyiwei to keep up with the outside of the valley in the Hetao. Rebelled against the leaders of at least seven tribes and made them undercover agents of the Han family in the Xiongnu.

Although these tribes are all small tribes, the largest is only a thousand people.

But such results are also very convincing.

It is precisely because of this kind of work that he has done a lot, and his son Gongsun He, has recently had a close relationship with the lord and the lord and the lord.

So. In fact, now Gongsun Kunxie has become a supporter of the Vertical and Horizontal School in secret.

On the surface, although he said: Su Qin and Zhang Yi hate it to death.

But in fact, quietly, unconsciously, the top and bottom of Dahonglu have been transformed into the department that specializes in fanning the flames in other people's homes.

Therefore, Gongsun Kunxie is very clear about the weakness of the Xiongnu nobles who are similar to the difficult to carve.

This kind of person already has no loyalty to Shan Yuting.

As long as you are a little tempted, you are not afraid that the other party will not take the bait.

Really. After listening to Gongsun Kunxie's words, he sighed with emotion: "I see! If this is the case, then if I am in trouble in the Xiongnu and come to your country for refuge, your country will be able to give me the same treatment as Da Honglu? ”

Gongsun Kun said with a smile: "This is natural, my lord Holy Son of Heaven has specially instructed me to be as reasonable as the envoy, and the Xiongnu nobles who are close to the Han Dynasty." Be sure to socialize well and take care of it properly! ”

And the canal and the carving are difficult to hear. Immediately, his heart was overjoyed, and his face was crooked.

Originally, he was worried that if he got rid of it, he might be a little bad, so he still had some reservations.

But now, with the assurance of the Han Dynasty. He no longer had to scruple.

Even if he plays off, he can come to the Han Dynasty and continue to eat and drink spicy food.

As for what will happen to the Huns?

Does it have anything to do with him?

Thinking of his hard work in the past, he was tired of running around for the sake of Shan Yuting, but it was not as good as selling a fraction of the actual benefits he obtained.

And if it is difficult to carve, there is no psychological burden.

"That's right......" and the canal and carving are difficult, and suddenly become reserved. He squirmed and asked Gongsun Kunxie: "Da Honglu, I want to take a name for the Han Dynasty, I don't know if you have any suggestions?" ”

Gongsun Kunxie glanced at this guy, and naturally knew what he meant?

Now, those Xiongnu nobles who were rebelled against him and the Xiongnu also made such a euphemistic request.

Gongsun Kun said with a smile: "Since the envoy wants to take a Chinese name, why don't you ask my lord Holy Son of Heaven to give it to him when he faces the saint?" ”

"Is that so?" He laughed, patted Gongsun Kunxie's shoulder, and asked, "Won't the emperor of your country annoy me?" ”

"How so?" Gongsun Kun Xie wrenched his face and said: "The envoy admires Chinese customs, and of course my lord Holy Son of Heaven will generously agree!" ”

"Then please tell the emperor of your country ......" and rubbed his hands and said: "It's best to give me a copy of the emperor's edict!" ”

When Gongsun Kunxi heard this, he didn't understand where the other party made an offer.

He smiled and nodded, "Definitely, definitely!" ”

In his heart, Gongsun Kunxie is simply happy.

And it is difficult to carve, but the Xiongnu are only the nobles in the court!

Regardless of his status, it was a great victory in itself to make the position of such a single-court nobleman lean towards the Han family!

What's more, this person clearly said that in the future, he might continue to transmit information about the Xiongnu back to China.

This is simply a sound of heaven for Gongsun Kunxie.

And it is difficult to carve a trivial and stubby figure, so it suddenly became cute in the eyes of Gongsun Kunxie.

Who doesn't love the performance of moving?

"Please get the messenger on the carriage......" Gongsun Kunxie came to a carriage with a canal and carved a difficult person and said: "My lord Holy Son of Heaven has been waiting for the messenger in Ganquan Palace for a long time......

And the canal is hard to hear, and suddenly it is even happier.

The emperor of the Han Dynasty was willing to go out of Chang'an for him and come to Ganquan Palace, just to meet him, which made it difficult to carve and even give birth to a warmth in his heart.

Think back then, he worked hard for Shan Yu, and the result?

Not only did the nobles in the court regard him as a pig and a dog, but the Han Dynasty also regarded him as an enemy.

And after he made a change.

Everything has changed.

Shan Yu thought he was a loyal minister, and the emperor of the Han Dynasty thought he was a friend.

You can eat on both sides, and you can take it on both sides!

"What Great Huns rule the world...... What is sacred...... It's all fake! And Qu and carved it was difficult to think in his heart: "Whether it is the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu, the emperor, or Shan Yu, they are all virtual, only if you live well, it is true!" ”

……………………………………

However, Gongsun Kun was lying to him.

Because at this moment, Liu Che is not in Ganquan Palace at all.

He was in a royal manor thirty miles from Ganquan Palace.

This manor is also a member of the palace complex of Ganquan Palace.

In this sense, Gongsun Kun is not a deception, and it is difficult to carve.

Liu Che came here to inspect a top-secret workshop of the Mo family here.

Since last year, all the people within a radius of 10 miles have been relocated.

At the same time, on the main roads and commanding heights of each entry and exit, the Han army was densely packed with checkpoints.

It is impossible for a person to enter or leave this place without a permit.

The reason why the level of secrecy has been raised to this level.

Just because, this place is the largest royal eucommia garden of the Han family.

Originally, it was a herb manor affiliated with the Imperial Medical Department, and various medicinal herbs were mainly cultivated.

As early as the Liu Bang period, eucommia was cultivated here.

Today, thousands of Eucommia ulmoides trees are planted on the hills of this manor, most of which are more than 30 years old.

Eucommia ulmoides is an ancient medicinal herb.

Zhu Xia's first medical book, "Shennong's Materia Medica", recorded the example of using Eucommia ulmoides in medicine.

Today, Eucommia ulmoides is also one of the most commonly used Chinese medicines by Han doctors to tonify the liver and kidneys.

However, Liu Che knew that Eucommia had another extremely magical use, which could be called a bug!

It is now the only plant in Asia that has the potential to replace rubber.

Two thousand years later, **** developed the technology to replace rubber with eucommia gum.

In essence, the chemical composition of Eucommia ulmoides gum and rubber is exactly the same.

The two just have diametrically opposite molecular structures in molecular formulas.

As a traverser, when Liu Che came to Ganquan Palace for a vacation two years ago, he occasionally found this manor where thousands of eucommia trees were cultivated, and he immediately fell in love with it.

Since last year, Liu Che has allocated 20 million funds for the extraction and development of eucommia gum.

Today, finally, it has paid off.

Liu Che looked at the finished eucommia gum in two wooden barrels in front of him, and was full of emotion.

These two barrels of Eucommia ulmoides gum were extracted from the bark and fruits of 1,000 Eucommia trees that naturally fell off last year.

In total, there are only about 100 catties.

But this is undoubtedly a huge breakthrough!

This means that another threshold of the Industrial Revolution has been breached.

With Eucommia ulmoides, tires, valves and air locks are no problem.

The steam engine and other science fiction products of the future also have the conditions to be realized.

Of course, after all, this eucommia gum is only a substitute, in terms of actual use, not as good as rubber, the future of China, or need to go to South America to introduce rubber trees.

But......

"Yes and no, those are two different things......" Liu Che said in his heart.

With a substitute for rubber, the Mohists can also carry out more experiments and research and development. (To be continued.) )

PS: I am not a chemistry major, and I don't know the technology of extracting Eucommia ulmoides gum, but from the public information, the extraction of Eucommia ulmoides gum is not too difficult, and the leaching method is fine.

There should be no high-tech ~~~~

Well, so let's give a general explanation, if there is a technical master, don't be surprised and take it seriously!
