Chapter 387 Flowers of Hell
Xiaoguan, the northern gateway of Guanzhong.
The Xiongnu are making it difficult for the Huns, riding on horses, and slowly walking out of the Yongdao of Xiaoguan.
When he came to the Han Dynasty last year, a scene that he had never seen suddenly appeared in front of his eyes—hundreds of Han Chinese, armed with various tools and working under the scorching sun, on the land outside the Xiaoguan city wall and next to the straight road.
Wooden utensils are placed one by one according to strict proportions.
At first, it was difficult to think that this was a trick played by a wealthy Han man.
But as he continued along the straight towards Chang'an.
On the side of the long straight.
The craftsmen and overseers of the Han people are innumerable, and there are people working everywhere.
On both sides of the road, buildings that had never been seen in the past are rising from the ground.
It is difficult to distinguish that those buildings obviously have functions similar to those of horses, which can be used for horses to rest, eat, and maintain.
"Han Dynasty people, what is this going to do?" It is difficult to understand.
Along the way, there are hundreds of workers and construction sites that can be seen with the naked eye alone, which means that at least 10,000 people are building some kind of project along the straight.
Obviously, this is no longer a huge project that any private person can undertake.
Even, except for the Han Dynasty, a country with almost infinite wealth and manpower, it was impossible for any other force in the world to carry out such a huge project.
"Perhaps, the Han Dynasty people were building projects like water canals, right?" Su Bu Carving thought to himself.
However, it is difficult to look at those busy workers in the heart. There is a faint uneasiness.
In this era, whether it was the Han family sent an embassy to the Xiongnu. It was also a mission sent by the Xiongnu to the Han Dynasty, and it was all written that the mission was read as a spy.
Gather information on what you see and hear along the way. Going back to sort out the record is also one of the difficult tasks of carving.
So, it was difficult for Xu Bu Diao to invite the Han Dynasty officials who were in charge of greeting him and asked, "Dare to ask your nobleman, what is your country?" ”
The one in charge of welcoming the Divi Eagle was a commander of the Great Honglu.
The envoy smiled mysteriously and arched his hand, "Why should your envoy care about such mundane things? ”
Then he resolutely did not express any more views on this.
This made Su Budiao even more uncomfortable.
Unfortunately, along the way, the Han army kept an eye on the members of the mission.
Otherwise, it is difficult for Xu Bu Carving to really want to find someone to ask. What did the Han people do when they built such a project?
The intuition of the difficult carving told him that this project, I'm afraid that the ten are related to the military!
And this time, since the mission entered Xiao Pass and monitored his army, the number of troops was more than the number of troops sent to the Han Dynasty in the past.
Obviously, the Han Chinese did not want him to do anything to inquire.
The more the Han people didn't want him to know, the more they wanted to know.
"I've got to figure it out, Han Chinese. What is this doing? Su Bu Carving thought to himself.
Just as the Han people had intelligence sources within the Xiongnu, the Xiongnu also had intelligence sources among the Han people.
In this world, as long as there is money, there is nothing that cannot be bought!
Pity. The difficulty of carving is never imagined.
What the Han Dynasty wanted to hide from him was not this project under construction - the rail carriage, this matter. It is impossible to hide once it is completed. It will inevitably be known to the people of the world, including the Huns, about its existence and mode of operation.
Liu Che really wanted to conceal the difficulty of the sub carving, and the thing that he didn't want him to know was that at the same time that the difficulty of the subu carving entered Xiao Pass. Another envoy from the Xiongnu has appeared in the city of Chang'an.
At this moment, Liu Che was in the Xuanshu Palace, looking at a long list of purchases presented by this delegation.
"What a big appetite!" Liu Che finished reading the list and sneered in his heart.
5,000 horses of fine silk, 1,000 stone of tea, 500 stone of rhubarb, 100 stone of peppercorns, this is the price offered by the other party.
It's almost a lion's mouth!
Five thousand horses of silk, even at the price of Han land, are worth tens of millions of dollars.
Other teas, rhubarb, and peppercorns, combined, are almost worth one or two million.
However, the trading chips offered by the other party are not low!
All kinds of exotic species, full of twenty or thirty carts.
All of them are not found in the Han family, and among them, even include sacred objects such as cotton.
There are even thirty stallions!
Even if these things are not counted, just because it can give the Hun Shan Yu a reason to block, Liu Che will be happy to do this business!
Who called this mission led by the Great Lu of the Wusun State, plus a group of losers in the internal political struggle of the Xiongnu?
Therefore, just thinking about it a little, Liu Che wrote a word on this list, and then handed it to Wang Dao, so that Wang Dao could convey it to the Shaofu Yamen.
In this transaction, Liu Che did not go to the treasury, and directly drew materials from Shaofu.
Anyway, there are many things in the house, and it is inevitable that there will be mildew and deterioration in the warehouse.
It's better to exchange it for something.
Of course, Liu Che is not wronged, what others say, is what it is.
For all kinds of materials in this transaction, Liu Che will ask people to mark the price one by one, and then tell the people who come to the price.
What the Han family needs and is useful, naturally you might as well give a high price.
For things that don't have much effect, just give them a price - in short, as long as the final price is about what the other person expects.
In this way, the next time they trade, the other party will definitely ship those high-priced goods.
With this, Liu Che can easily achieve many goals.
"Wang Dao, go and bring the plates of flowers that the Wusun people gave me again......" Liu Che finished this matter and gave an order to Wang Dao.
"No!" Wang Dao nodded.
After a while, several eunuchs walked in cautiously holding a few plates of colorful and fragrant flowers.
These plates of flowers were given to Liu Che by Wusun Dalu as a 'gift' and 'free'.
In general, that Wusun Dalu wanted to use this incomparably beautiful flower to please Liu Che.
I have to say, he did it right!
Liu Che is indeed very interested in these giveaways!
Liu Che looked at the plates of flowers that were incomparably beautiful and waiting to bloom, but his heart was extremely cold.
"The stem is straight and the flower does not branch, the flower is so gorgeous...... Liu Che sighed in his heart: "Hell flower! ”
Although he was not a botanist, he had never seen the flower of hell that was said to have swept the world in modern times, poisoning countless countries and nations.
However, for this kind of demon flower that originated from the third brother's family, and then spread all over the world, it was really thunderous!
Even if you haven't eaten pork, you've always seen pigs run, right?
And the characteristics of this Hell Flower are so obvious!
Speaking of which, in fact, this plant only appeared as an ornamental plant in the beginning.
As it is now, it is sent around as a good-looking plaything.
And its medicinal value and deeper devilish attributes have not yet been recognized.
"What should I do with them?" Liu Che looked at these plates of flowers and fell into deep thought.
Obviously, Liu Che was well aware that he was now facing a Pandora's box.
As a traverser, Liu Che knows very well that this kind of gift from the devil of hell is a double-edged sword.
It can kill people, and it can kill its users!
In the heyday of the British Empire, it was indeed used to harm many people.
But it also harmed its own people.
The big smoker of the British Empire, in terms of population proportion, is the eldest brother of the Qing Dynasty, don't laugh at the second brother.
However, at the same time, its huge medicinal value also makes it impossible for Liu Che to ignore it.
In this day and age, there is no more effective anesthetic and insecticide than this hell flower.
With it, parasitic diseases in the south, as well as all kinds of diseases that afflict the people, are no longer terrible.
Even many lives can be saved again!
The premise is that it can only be used in small doses, and the number of times must be strictly controlled.
But......
"Hehe......"
"Is it controlled?"
"Once Pandora's box is opened, who can stop it?"
Liu Che knows very well that those idle and bored aristocrats, if this thing appears, what will they do with it?
Just look at the ginseng now.
During the Wei and Jin dynasties, there was no shortage of 'merry and famous people' who ate Wushi San, and even didn't know who they were.
"Pass on my order, put these plates of flowers on the Lantai of Weiyang Palace, without my permission, anyone who dares to approach this thing a hundred steps away will be killed!" Liu Che hesitated for a long time, but in the end he still didn't make up his mind, so he could only put these flowers and its seeds in Lantai, where only he, the emperor, could enter, and even issued a strict order, prohibiting a person from approaching and probing.
For Liu Che, this flower, like its appearance, is both beautiful and attractive, but also extremely dangerous.
He wanted to learn from DuPont, but he was afraid that he couldn't control it.
It can only be put aside for the time being.
However, at the moment of turning around, Liu Che suddenly thought: "In other words, if this thing is made into wax pills, and then recruit a group of Yidi people who dare to die, when they go into battle, they will divide this thing......"
In the history of human warfare, doping has been used countless times.
If you can't touch it with a monk, you can't touch it if you can't touch it? (To be continued!)
PS: Well, everyone should know what it is~~~~~~
