Traveling through Great Qin: Father Qin Shihuang!

The next day, after the foreign envoys left, Ying Zheng held another court meeting.

When all the ministers in the court had arrived, Zhao Che stood up.

"Your Majesty, my lords, the exchange between the Fanbang envoys and our Daqin has been successfully concluded. This time, the Fanbang envoys have brought the will of their country leaders to express their goodwill towards our Daqin. Reach a business alliance with our Daqin."

"In the future, Daqin can directly conduct some fixed business activities with these countries every year. This business activity is not limited to the activities between our Daqin caravans, but trade and business at the national level. This is still very important for our economic development. advantageous."

"Secondly, the envoys of the Loulan Kingdom expressed their intention to form an alliance with our Great Qin during this trip, so after many discussions with the Loulan envoys, we finally settled on a condition for the alliance."

……

After all, Zhao Che stated the two conditions that he and Lou Lan had set.

"Champion Marquis, weapons are the foundation of our Great Qin's military strength, how can we give them to others so easily? And it doesn't cost money?"

As soon as Zhao Che finished speaking, a minister from the court immediately jumped out to raise doubts.

Zhao Che took a glance and found that there were not a few people in the court who had the same doubts, and even Meng Yi Wang Wan and others showed doubts.

In the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, apart from Yingzheng and Fusu who had unconditional trust in Zhao Che, there was only one Li Si sitting there who was still an old god.

"It seems that you adults have doubts about my thoughts, so why not let me explain to you adults a little bit."

Zhao Che paused for a moment.

"First of all, the alliance between us Daqin and Loulan definitely has more advantages than disadvantages for Daqin, because Loulan's position in the Western Regions is very special and it is a key node in the extension of our Silk Road. It is necessary in our hands in Daqin, and if Daqin's Silk Road wants to continue to expand, Loulan is absolutely unavoidable."

"The first condition is to build a railway in Loulan and set up a Daqin office. I don't think you have any opinions. With the railway, the connection between us and the Western Regions will be closer, and it will also facilitate our exchanges and business. , and Daqin’s office in Loulan is also for us to better understand the situation in Loulan.”

"The second condition is that Daqin will give Loulan a certain number of weapons for free, including but not limited to the Xuanniao No. [-] Truth Cannon that Daqin currently owns, etc., but Daqin will also send a group of barracks to help Loulan train a group of proficient Those who master these weapons will come, and at the same time, they will help Loulan maintain and maintain these weapons."

……

After saying this, Zhao Che didn't continue to speak. It seemed that he had said everything, but also didn't seem to say anything, especially the second most controversial condition, it seemed that he just repeated it.

But if you listen carefully, you will find the mystery in Zhao Che's words, and the old foxes such as Wang Wannei, Shi Teng and Wei Liao have already shut up decisively and sat back obediently.

Li Si's eyes lit up even more, with an excited expression on his face, as if he had realized something.

But there were still some straight-minded people in the court who didn't want to understand, and when they were about to continue asking, they were interrupted by Ying Zheng's words.

"Che'er is right. The alliance between us and Loulan is a great thing for Daqin. These two conditions can also be agreed to. The widow will convey the will, and the alliance between the two parties will be left to you, Li Si." Come and take full responsibility, and make sure that nothing goes wrong."

"Here!"

Li Si took a step forward to accept this order, so the alliance was settled.

The court discussion continued, but what happened next had little to do with Zhao Che.

Soon, the court meeting ended, and the ministers left Xianyang Palace one by one, and many of these ministers were scratching their heads at this moment, as if they couldn't figure out something.

As soon as they left Xianyang Palace, these ministers immediately got together and chatted with each other.

"What do you mean by Champion Hou's second condition? He obviously didn't explain anything. Why did the Prime Minister and the others agree so quickly? Could it be that Champion Hou has some deep meaning that we haven't seen?"

"Then how do I know, you are going to ask the Prime Minister, I am also surprised."

"No, Mr. Lin, didn't you suddenly realize it in the court just now?"

"Ahem, it doesn't mean that everyone around me suddenly realized it. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if I didn't understand?"

Hearing this, the courtier who questioned Zhao Che just now showed a speechless expression. He didn't understand what you were pretending to be there.

"Master Prime Minister, I wonder if you can clarify for me what the champion Hou said just now?"

Finally, someone couldn't help but approached Feng Quji and asked.

"Hehe, can't say, can't say."

However, Feng Quji also looked mysterious, and left after a haha.

"Father, what does the young master mean? I think you are all very mysterious. Could it be that there is some big secret hidden in it?"

Among these people who didn't understand, of course there was a kid like Wang Li, who approached Wang Ben and asked in a low voice.

"If you want to study, you have to raise pigs. If you encounter problems, don't you understand?"

Wang Ben glared at Wang Li, and by the way cursed with the words he learned from Zhao Che before explaining to him.
"Do you think that with the son's character, he will do business at a loss? The second condition seems to be that Loulan has taken advantage of it, but in fact the initiative is still in the hands of our Daqin."

"First of all, we gave Loulan a batch of weapons, but they don't know how to use them at all, so they can only use our people to train them. But it doesn't take long to train talents. In other words, these weapons are still in our hands, and even Loulan took the initiative to welcome us over."

"There is also a free thing. Weapons are free, yes, but weapons must be repaired and maintained, right? Our Daqin has sent weapons for free, so we can't pay for repairs and maintenance, right? And the people we sent over to help them It is reasonable to charge a little fee for training talents, right?"

"So, it seems that the son didn't ask Loulan to pay a penny, but there are still many places for them to pay later. The most important thing is that Loulan didn't get anything from the beginning to the end. This is the most terrifying point."

……

After listening to Wang Ben's words, Wang Li gasped. He never expected that Wang Ben could guess so much about Zhao Che's thoughts in just a few seemingly simple sentences.

What shocked Wang Li even more was that Zhao Che was able to play around with those people in Loulan, not only making them take the initiative to get into the trap, but also being grateful to Daqin.

Thinking of this, Wang Li couldn't help shivering. Fortunately, Zhao Che belonged to Daqin. It would be terrible if Zhao Che was Daqin's enemy.
