Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

When she said these words, Tian Wan's gentle and dignified pretty face was filled with a faint majesty.

After all, she is the princess of Qi, the wife of the No. 1 general in the world, Wu Xinjun!Qiu'er was grateful in her heart, and said: "My sister understands, thank you very much, sister."

A smile appeared on Tian Wan's face, and then she turned her gaze back to the kite in the sky, and said leisurely: "Sister, tell me, since the kite can fly into the sky, can we humans fly into the sky?

Heh, my sister is thinking too much, how can people fly into the sky? "

Zhao Kuo's words suddenly sounded: "Who said that human beings can't fly into the sky?

It just needs the help of some other equipment. "

Zhao Kuo had walked over at some point, took the eldest daughter from Tian Wan's arms and had a good time with her, then played with the younger Zhao Meng for a while, the two children giggled with their beards pricked up.

Tian Wan looked at Zhao Kuo in surprise: "Husband, can people really fly?"

Zhao Kuo said seriously: "It's really possible, but I don't know if you and I can live to that day."

Qiu'er looked at Zhao Kuo with adoring eyes, and said, "If it's your husband, it will definitely be possible!"

A warm atmosphere reverberates in the air of this garden, that is the taste of happiness.

Suddenly, Zhao Kuo saw the figures of Xu Li, Li Si and Han Fei appearing not far away, and gestured towards them.

Tian Wan also noticed this scene, and hurriedly said: "Husband, hurry up and get busy, it's good that the child is watched by the two of us."

Zhao Kuo nodded with a smile, kissed his son and daughter on the forehead, and then followed Xu Li and the other three to the study.

"What happened?"

Zhao Kuo asked.

Xu Li said softly: "My lord, according to our observations, since Han Xuwei revoked the ban on the purchase of ginseng by merchants, the number of customers at several ginseng spots in Handan has increased significantly during this period."

Zhao Kuo smiled and said, "This is a matter of course, what about foreign channels?"

Xu Li replied: "The other vassal states rejected Han Xuwei's request for a second transaction. We got feedback from our lurking Nightingale. The vassals didn't want to completely cut off the channel, but they were betting Nei probably won't trade ginseng with Han Xuwei."

Zhao Kuo hummed and said, "It's a matter of course. After all, which of these vassal states doesn't want me and the Queen Mother to fight each other as soon as possible?"

Li Si smiled and said: "Even the queen mother, with the wisdom of the lord, there is absolutely no possibility of defeat.

As for Han Xuwei, it is not worth mentioning. "

The longer he stayed by Zhao Kuo's side, the more Li Si realized that he had learned more. Many of Zhao Kuo's tricks and strategies seemed a little incomprehensible at the time, but when everything was concluded afterwards, it always made people realize suddenly. There is a feeling of "so it is".

Li Si's teacher, Xun Kuang, once said that "learning is endless." Li Si felt that this sentence was too true. What he learned from a lord like Zhao Kuo was something that he could not learn in books for several lifetimes.

Han Fei couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, and nodded in agreement.

Compared to the optimism of the other two, Xu Li said with some concern: "My lord, that's the queen mother, aren't we taking too much risk this time?"

Although Xu Li already knew about Zhao Kuo's plan to seize power, when it came time to confront the rulers fairly, Xu Li still couldn't help feeling a little panicked.

Zhao Kuo smiled and said, "Uncle Xu, you don't need to be so worried. This time it seems that you are really fighting against the Queen Mother, but everyone will think that Lord Pingyuan is the one who picks the lead, and this Marquis is just Lord Pingyuan's thug."

This is why Zhao Kuo must pull Mr. Pingyuan. Mr. Pingyuan has been Zhao Guoxiangbang for many years. He is the same generation as Zhao Kuo's father Zhao She, and his qualifications are far above Zhao Kuo.

If he wins, everyone will think that Mr. Pingyuan wants to seize power.

Taking ten thousand steps back, even if it is a loss, everyone still feels that Mr. Pingyuan failed to seize power, and Zhao Kuo was just implicated by innocence.

Xu Li said with some doubts: "Mr. Pingyuan's mansion has thousands of visitors, and it is said that there are many great talents among them. Didn't anyone remind him of this?"

Zhao Kuo said with a smile: "Mr. Pingyuan's wisdom cannot be underestimated, he should have thought of this long ago, but he still did so, and has been standing behind Ben Hou to support Ben Hou.

Uncle Xu, think about it carefully, why is this? "

Xu Li thought for a while, then suddenly his body trembled violently, and said: "Could it be that Mr. Pingyuan has already had such thoughts?"

Zhao Kuo slapped his thigh and said with a smile, "I don't know if Mr. Pingyuan is early or not, but he really has such thoughts."

After all, the Queen Mother Han Ji is only a young woman. She tried to use the method of her deceased husband to rule Zhao, but the failure of employing people and the simple and rough methods have already caused dissatisfaction among many people.

Mr. Pingyuan is just an object pushed by these dissatisfied people.

Xu Li was extremely surprised, and after a while he said: "Then, what should we do now?"

Zhao Kuo smiled, and suddenly turned to look at Han Fei, "Han Fei, tell me, what should Ben Hou do?"

Han Fei cleared his throat nervously, and said, "Mantis, mantis catch cicadas, yellow and oriole are behind!"

Zhao Kuo laughed loudly: "That's the truth!"

Chapter 289 Yan Country Has Ginseng?

Liaodong County of Yan State, Xiangping City.

Liaodong is a place of bitter cold, and there are four to five months of winter in a year. This is hard to imagine for the Chinese people who have lived in the Central Plains, Jianghuai, and Guanzhong for a long time.

In the past thousands of years, this place has been occupied by many barbarians of various kinds. The last barbarian who occupied this place was named Donghu.

After Qin Kai, the general of Yan State, defeated Donghu, this place was included in the territory of Yan State for the first time and became a part of Huaxia.

Xiangping was established at that time. This city only has a history of more than 20 years. It is one of the youngest cities in Yan State. It is also the county seat of Liaodong County in Yan State and the hub for Yan State to control the entire Liaodong Peninsula.

Although Liaodong is bitterly cold, the animal furs produced here are of first-class quality. Mink fur, tiger skin, bear skin, bear paw and many other wild animals are very popular among the nobles in Yan Kingdom.

Naturally, Xiangping City has become the largest leather goods trading center in Liaodong County, and it is precisely because of such transactions that the scale of this city has gradually grown.

Although it is still autumn, autumn in Liaodong is already very cold.

Sitting in the carriage, Chen Xiu tightened his clothes, breathed out a gas that was visible to the naked eye, and said to his friend Li Jian, "Brother Li, Xiangping City is much bigger than I imagined. ah."

Chen Xiu is a businessman from the country of Yan. Originally, his family had a small smelting workshop in Ji to do the arms business. Sell ​​the workshop.

After selling the workshop, he lost his income, and Chen Xiu's wife had a big fight with him, which made Chen Xiu very depressed.

At this time, Li Jian, a good friend that Chen Xiu met by chance in Jidu, invited Chen Xiu to come to Xiangping City to find opportunities, so Chen Xiu followed.

Li Jian is in the leather goods business, and travels between Xiangping and Wuyang many times a year. His accent is from the country of Zhao, and he is very forthright, and he and Chen Xiu are considered congenial.

Li Jian said with a smile: "Brother Chen, Xiangping is a city with great opportunities. Many barbarians will come here to trade after hunting prey. As long as we seize the opportunity to make a move, then we can make a fortune!"

Regarding Li Jian's words, Chen Xiu could only smile.

Make a fortune?

There is no such thing as easy to make a fortune in this world.

The two entered Xiangping City.

As soon as he entered Xiangping City, the smell of all kinds of livestock rushed towards his face. Chen Xiu couldn't help frowning, feeling as if he had entered a pigsty.

Li Jian took it for granted, he drove the carriage without changing his face, and brought Chen Xiu to the Xiangping City Leather Market and found an inn to stay.

In the next few days, the two also often went to the leather goods market. Under Li Jian's enthusiastic introduction, Chen Xiu also had some understanding of leather goods, and also tentatively bought some goods. Finally, new hope for life was ignited. .

As a businessman, as long as he can do business, he still has hope of survival.

As a result, Chen Xiu's mood improved a lot, and a smile began to appear on his face.

This morning, Chen Xiu and Li Jian walked around the market as usual.

Li Jian said to Chen Xiu: "It will start snowing here in one month, we will stay for another 20 days at most before leaving.

These days, I try to get a few more leather goods, so that I can have a good New Year's Eve when I go back to Jidu. "

Chen Xiu nodded his head heavily, and was about to say a few words of thanks to Li Jian, when suddenly his eyes froze and he froze.

Looking at Chen Xiu's appearance, Li Jian couldn't help but feel a little puzzled: "Brother Chen, what's wrong with you?"

Chen Xiu took a deep breath, did not speak to Li Jian, but walked directly towards a wild man not far away.

The so-called savages are actually the Donghu people, Koreans and other races living in the mountains and forests of Liaodong. Although these people have been under the rule of Yan State, they have not been incorporated into the household registration of Yan State, so they are called savages.

Although there is no household registration, because there are many outstanding hunters among the savages who can hunt furs, the savages have always been allowed to enter Xiangping City for trading, as long as they hand in one animal fur at a time as the city entry tax.

This savage hunter obviously also often came to Xiangping City to trade. When he saw Chen Xiu coming, he immediately showed a hopeful look on his face, and said in a very unfamiliar elegant language: "Fur goods, yes, five hundred dollars each!"

However, Chen Xiu didn't look at the bear skins and wolf skins that the savage placed on the ground, but directly pointed at the savage's leather pocket: "What is that, can you show me?"

The wildman hunter was taken aback, subconsciously covering his leather pocket, while holding the weapon in his other hand.

Only then did Chen Xiu realize something, and immediately took out a bunch of money from his pocket, and put it in front of the wild man: "This is fifty money, I want to see that thing.

Just take a look, I won't steal from you. "

The wildling hunter looked at the money, and the vigilant light in his eyes dissipated. Then he opened his pocket, took out a gray-looking thing, and said to Chen Xiu, "The medicine is easy to use."

Chen Xiu took the medicine of Savage Hunter and observed it carefully. Gradually, the light in Chen Xiu's eyes became extremely bright.

Li Jian on the side was a little confused, and couldn't help but whispered: "Brother Chen, what are you doing?"

Chen Xiu ignored Li Jian, but took a deep breath, and said to the wildling hunter in front of him, "Do you have more medicine like this?

I can pay for it, five hundred dollars each. "

"Five hundred dollars?"

Li Jian was taken aback: "Brother Chen, are you crazy?"

Five hundred dollars is enough to buy a leather item in Xiangping City, but Chen Xiu used it to buy this weird thing?

Chen Xiu waved his hand at Li Jian, signaling Li Jian not to speak, and then continued to look at the wild man hunter.

The wildman hunter was also taken aback: "Five hundred dollars?"

Chen Xiu nodded, took out a small pocket and put it in front of the wild man hunter: "The five hundred dollars is the money I paid for this medicine, can you find more medicine?"

The Wildman Hunter opened his pocket, carefully counted the money inside, and with an excited expression on his face, he took out three more "medicines" and placed them in front of Chen Xiu.

Without hesitation, Chen Xiu took out another fifteen hundred coins.

The Savage Hunter was really excited now, and said to Chen Xiu, "Seven days, I'll be back in seven days, a lot, a lot of medicine!"

Chen Xiu laughed, and said seriously: "When the time comes, you can go directly to the third inn next to the market to find me, just say you are looking for Chen Xiu!"

Seeing the wildman hunter leaving excitedly, Li Jian finally couldn't help but said, "Brother Chen, what are you doing?"

Chen Xiu didn't say a word, he directly dragged Li Jian back to the inn, observed again to make sure no one was eavesdropping, then took out the "medicine" he just bought, smiled at Li Jian, "Brother Li, you know What is this?"

Li Jian shook his head blankly.

Chen Xiu smiled slightly, and said: "Brother Li, when I was running the iron and steel workshop, I also did business with Xiangbang Guowei's Mansion, and dealt with several of the stewards. This is what I was dealing with at that time. seen sometime."

Li Jian looked puzzled: "What is this?"

Chen Xiu couldn't hold back the joy in his heart, and said softly: "This thing is a ginseng that can be sold for 15 yuan in Jidu!"

"what?"

Li Jian was taken aback, and after a long time he said in shock: "Ginseng?

Liaodong actually has ginseng?

Isn't it only Zhao Guo that produces ginseng? "

Chen Xiu took a deep breath and said, "This is definitely ginseng, I won't admit it wrong.

Brother Li, if that wild man can really bring more ginseng after seven days, do you know what it means?

That means we're really rich! "

After a while, the room erupted into laughter from the two of them.

In the middle of the night, after Chen Xiu fell asleep, Li Jian got up quietly, went to the back kitchen on the first floor, and saw the shopkeeper who was alone there.

"what's up?"

The shopkeeper asked Li Jian softly.

Li Jian looked left and right to see if there was no one there, and said softly to the shopkeeper, "Immediately report to Lord Handan, and say that Yan's plan has already started."

The shopkeeper nodded and said, "What is so special about this Chen Xiu?"

Li Jiandao: "He knows the steward of Guo Kui's mansion, Prime Minister of Yan State. Through this relationship, we can directly bring this matter to Guo Wei."

The shopkeeper said: "Isn't there anyone around Guo Wei?"

Li Jian shook his head and said, "That's too obvious and easy to expose.

It is better to go through Chen Xiulai. How is your ginseng preparation? "

The shopkeeper smiled slightly and said, "Is five hundred ginseng enough?"

Li Jian narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "It's definitely enough. Is that savage reliable?"
