Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

Now, at least in terms of intelligence gathering, Li Jian felt that he should be able to go back to Han Kingdom to face His Majesty Zhao Kuo with confidence.

Putting down his pen, Li Jian sighed regretfully: "I just don't know when I will have the chance to go home;

Li Jian misses his family in the Han Kingdom.

So after a while, Li Jian picked up his pen again and began to write a letter home.

;Mother on top: Unfilial son Li Jian;

While Li Jian was writing his family letter, Liu Liang, the envoy of the Great Han Kingdom, was in the Seleucid palace, smiling with a very good manner, talking with the Seleucid nobles.

"Your Majesty Emperor Antiochus II, please rest assured. After I go back this time, I will definitely tell your Majesty the Emperor that the Seleucid Empire is sincere and sincere to our Han Kingdom. We hope to continue to promote the cooperation between the two sides." Peace, especially business activities of mutual benefit to both sides. ;

"Your Highness, Second Prince, it's great to see you. After I leave here, Li Jian will stay as the person in charge of the Han Kingdom's Liaison Office in Seleucid. You and him are also considered friends. Please take care of me in the future." Let him go. ;

;Lord Sias, haha, the silk robe you are wearing today looks so gorgeous!What, did you actually spend 60 yuan to buy it?Jesus, frankly, that's my salary for at least ten years. ;

As a diplomatic envoy, being able to speak eloquently is a necessary skill. Liu Liang undoubtedly honed this skill very well. Not only was he able to talk to the Seleucid kings and ministers one by one, but he also used the Seleucid language.

Yes, in just one year, although Liu Liang's Seleucid language still has a little oriental accent, it is almost the same as the Seleucids.

This kind of performance undoubtedly deepened the trust of the Seleucids in Liu Liang. The Seleucid Emperor Antiochus II couldn't help but sighed to Liu Liang: "Ambassador Liu, you are the most outstanding diplomat I have ever seen." , I even feel pity sometimes, why wasn't a talent like you born in our Seleucid Empire? ;

Liu Liang smiled slightly when he heard this.

Why wasn't I, Liu Liang, born in the Seleucid Empire?Because in the Seleucid Empire, no one will fund the establishment of a place called the Academy, and no one will pay to ensure that all scholars can concentrate on academic research without worrying about food and clothing after being admitted to the Academy, let alone After the scholars graduated from the academy, these scholars were assigned jobs in Zhao Guo and Han Guo.

Liu Liang, the first scholar of the Academy, one of the most outstanding graduates of the Strategist.

But if he was in the Seleucid Empire, Liu Liang, who was born in a poor family, would never have access to knowledge, so how could he grow up and become the shining messenger in the Seleucid Palace today?

Liu Liang smiled gently, and said to Antiochus II in calm words: "The Seleucid Empire gives me the feeling that it is as broad and profound as the Han Dynasty, and I believe that the talents in the Seleucid Empire are also not in my hands Under Liu Liang, there will be more people who are better than me, please don't be so humble, Your Majesty. ;

After hearing Liu Liang's decent words, the princes and ministers of the Seleucid Empire all showed smiles on their faces.

But it is a pity that they have no way of knowing Liu Liang's real thoughts.

For Liu Liang, the current Seleucid Empire is like a doll sitting on a mountain of gold and silver, but instead it has to beg with others.

Although the main ruling class of the Seleucid Empire was Macedonians, they belonged to Macedonians who were deeply influenced by Greek civilization, so they called themselves an empire composed of Macedonian Greeks.

In fact, the Greek civilization is also a very brilliant civilization. It can be said that it is an ancient civilization comparable to the Chinese civilization. Famous scholars such as Aristotle and Plato also belong to the existence of Confucius and Mencius.

However, the Seleucid Empire did not pay much attention to the development and education of its own civilization. In the end, it envied officials from Chinese civilization like Liu Liang, which is really ridiculous.

But if the Seleucid Empire paid a little attention to education and the training of officials, would Antiochus II still have such emotions?

At this moment, Liu Liang was actually very proud in his heart.

He is proud that he was not only born in a great civilization, but also joined a great country and became a subject of a great emperor!

As for these Seleucids, hum, they are all trash!

After the banquet, Liu Liang left the palace and came to a secret side hall.

Here, Antiochus II was waiting for him.

Liu Liang smiled and said to Antioch II: "Your Majesty the Emperor, according to our previous agreement, this time all the caravans of the Han Kingdom will give you [-]% of the proceeds."For the sake of convenience, you can send people to the warehouse of the liaison office to take away the proceeds at any time in the future, and then issue departure permits to these chambers of commerce. ;

After hearing these words, the smile on Antiochus II's face suddenly became more intense, because that was really a lot of money!

Antiochus II also smiled, and pointed to a small box in front of him: "The departure permits for all your caravans are here, take them, dear Liu." ;

Liu Liang saluted Antiochus II with a smile, then took the small box and prepared to leave.

At this time, Antiochus II suddenly said: "Liu, I have another question to ask you. Who do you think is a better choice for the emperor of the Seleucid Empire in the future?" ;

Liu Liang's footsteps paused slightly, and then he laughed: "This is a family matter of the Seleucid Empire and His Majesty, isn't it?"As a foreigner, I should not express my opinion hastily. ;

Antiochus II stared at Liu Liang and said sincerely: "Liu, for the sake of our friendship, give me some advice." ;

Liu Liang was silent for a while, and said: "Frankly speaking, the two princes each have their own strengths and weaknesses, but from the perspective of our Great Han Kingdom, we are of course more willing to see a Seriu who likes to maintain friendship with the Great Han Kingdom." His Majesty the Ancient Emperor. ;

Liu Liang left, leaving Antiochus II alone in the palace.

Suddenly, Antiochus II coughed violently. He covered his mouth with his hands, and let go after a while.

In his palm, it has turned bright red at some point.

Chapter 1180 There Will Be Not enough Stock in Dahan's Country (No.12)

As an envoy, Liu Liang was quite excited when he left the Seleucid Empire.

In the past year, Liu Liang, as the envoy of the Han Kingdom to the Seleucid Empire, has done a lot of intelligence work and helped the Han Kingdom expand many contacts in the Seleucid Empire.

Don't underestimate these contacts. Right now, they are just friends of the Han Kingdom, but in the future, if the soldiers and horses of the Han Kingdom come here, they will become the courtiers of the Han Kingdom as a matter of course.

With the help of these local local snakes, the Han Kingdom will be able to stabilize the comrades living here at a faster rate. Of course, it will not be enough to rely solely on these local snakes. Sooner or later, the Han Kingdom will assimilate these local snakes into China. Come among the civilizations and let them become part of the Chinese civilization. This is the real good strategy to make this place long-term stability.

There are many caravans following Liu Liang back this time, so of course the leaders of these caravans also deliberately flattered Liu Liang. kind of joking.

A leader of a caravan from the Shaofu of the Great Han Dynasty smiled and said to Liu Liang: "Ambassador Liu has made great contributions this time. After returning to the Imperial City, His Majesty will definitely reward Ambassador Liu heavily." ;

After Liu Liang heard this sentence, the corners of his mouth were narrowed with a smile, but on the surface he still had to pretend to be modest, and said: "You can't say that, in fact, I'm only doing it for the sake of the big man." country, did some trivial work.But this time, you have earned real gold and silver for our Great Han Kingdom. Your Majesty and your patriarchs must be very happy after hearing the news. ;

As the saying goes, people in bridal sedan chairs carry people, you flatter me, and I will flatter you. This kind of mutual flattery is undoubtedly the best state for everyone to get along as friends.

So after hearing Liu Liang's words, the other caravan leaders present also laughed in unison. Everyone had a strong smile on their faces, and they were very satisfied in their hearts.

This time it is not a joke. Every caravan traded to the Seleucid Empire can be said to be a huge profit. The Seleucids have almost no bargaining for the goods of these caravans. They bought everything in bulk, and even many aristocrats came to their door and asked to continue ordering their next batch with these caravans, or even all the goods for the next year.

The leader of a caravan said with a smile: "When His Majesty announced the decree, I was a little skeptical. I thought this Seleucid really had so much money?"But after they really came to the Seleucid Empire, they discovered that these Seleucids were really rich, very rich. ;

After the leader of the caravan said these words, he immediately got the unanimous approval of other caravan leaders.

;Before I always thought that apart from our Chinese civilization, there could be no other decent civilization in this world.But I didn't expect that the Greek civilization of these Seleucids is actually quite rich, and they are indeed very rich, and the degree of wealth may not be below my family. ;

;That’s right, this time I invited two Seleucids back to help me understand the customs of these Seleucids, and teach us the language of Seleucids by the way, until the next time I come to Seleucids After that, we can communicate with these Seleucids more conveniently, and it will be easier to make money from them. ;

"Your idea is really good. After a while, I will have to think about it when I get to the next city. Hire some Seleucids as translators to help us understand this country." ;

Normally, they are very good businessmen. Of course, they immediately understand how important it is to understand these people. If you can’t understand a market, you will definitely not be able to open up the situation in this market to obtain Huge market share, and language is the most basic thing to understand a market.

Liu Liang looked at these businessmen chatting enthusiastically, with a smug smile on their faces.In Liu Liang's view, the reason why these businessmen were able to earn all this money was ultimately because of His Majesty's grace, and Liu Liang was the courtier who implemented His Majesty's grace.

Don't underestimate the responsibility for this specific implementation. You have to know that in the Han Dynasty, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had a lot of quarrels for the post of envoy to the Seleucid Empire. Liu Liang also used various relationships, so it's better It was easy to grab this position.

Now, Liu Liang feels that the hard work at the beginning was definitely worth it. Now, as soon as he goes back, it will be a big wave of credit directly on Liu Liang's head, and his promotion is just around the corner.

While chatting, the leader of a caravan suddenly smiled and said: "Do you know?"In fact, I just got news from the Central Plains not long ago, saying that because of our large-scale purchases, the prices of various needs in the imperial capital are rising rapidly, and even the price of linen is lower than It has doubled several times before. ;

This news immediately attracted the attention of others, and they began to discuss it in a hurry.

;Don't even mention that these Seleucids even started snapping up linen. They feel as if they have never seen the world, which is simply laughable. ;

;There is still such a thing. Our caravans are all high-end businesses. At the beginning, I really didn’t expect that linen is so popular. If I knew this, if we could bring a batch of The linen is fine, but there are still many gaps in the carriage we brought. ;

;You don’t understand this, actually I didn’t want to bring linen at the beginning, but the main reason is that you are always robbing the goods, which made our goods not enough here, and there was no other way, so I just bought them casually A little linen.The final effect is still very gratifying.

Although linen has corresponding competitors in the Seleucid Empire, we have high-end products such as silk as an endorsement, so even though our price is much more expensive than their cloth, our linen is still Very popular. ;

This is a kind of brand effect, just like the luxury car brand in the future market.Luxury car brands, although their low-end cars are expensive and cost-effective, but because they have such a luxury brand as a support, they can still be easily sold at a price that is more expensive than ordinary cars.

Now silk has completely become the representative textile of the Han Dynasty, and the market has been opened among the high-level nobles of the Seleucid Empire. It can be said that there is no power to fight back when the original textiles of the Seleucid Empire are crushed. Under such circumstances, the people at the bottom of the Seleucid Empire would also subconsciously follow in the footsteps of the high-level nobles to pursue.

For the people at the bottom, they cannot afford these silks from the East, but they can also get a lot of envious eyes by buying linen that is much cheaper to wear and bragging to others that they are clothes from the East. , able to satisfy one's own vanity.

Suddenly another person said: "Actually, I'm a little worried now. Think about it this time. When we go back this time, everyone's procurement tasks are definitely several times more than before. I don't know that in our Great Han Kingdom Can there really be so many goods for us to purchase? ;

After hearing these words, the many caravan leaders who were still bustling just now suddenly became silent.

Indeed, whether this product can be supplied in sufficient quantities seems to have become a very serious issue now.

After all, frankly speaking, the annual textile output of the Great Han Kingdom is actually as much as before, which is of course more than enough to supply the entire Great Han Kingdom, but now these caravans are constantly purchasing and selling to the Seleucid Empire. The amount of purchases seems to be increasing, so there will obviously be a huge gap in the original output of Dahan Kingdom.

Such a huge gap seems to have no solution in a short period of time. Even Liu Liang, who was originally smiling, changed his expression and became worried after hearing this sentence.

The leaders of the caravan were even more solemn, because they had to know that if their procurement tasks could not be completed, then those Seleucid customers who bought their goods in the future would probably go to their competitors to buy them. It's ready.

It's just that the leaders of these caravans didn't expect that their current worries are actually completely unfounded.

Two months later, Liu Liang returned to the imperial capital with the leaders of these caravans.

After returning to Dijingchun, Liu Liang naturally went to see Zhao Kuo immediately. The leaders of these caravans ran to the market as soon as they entered the city, wanting to place an order first.

But when they came to the cloth shop in the market and told them that the demand for cloth was several times higher than before, they realized that things seemed to have changed again.

The guys at the Bukin shop yawned, listening to the needs reported by the caravan leaders, and then nodded again and again: "Oh, are you talking about these goods?"No problem, get the goods after one month, right, no problem, all right, just follow this price, there will definitely be goods after one month. ;

After listening to the quotations from the guys, the caravan leaders began to doubt life: "Wait, did you make a mistake in the price of this order?" ;

;No mistake, this price is like this, if you don't believe it, you can ask the shopkeeper yourself. ;

; But how could this price be cheaper than when we set off last year?Didn't it mean that the price of linen has increased several times in this imperial capital recently? ;

"Your ones are old old calendars. Now that there is a factory of Dahan Guo Textile Group, the prices have already been lowered. Let me tell you this, just your order is not a big deal now." , understand? ;

After listening to what the guys said, the caravan leaders were all stunned.

They are not fools either. From the words of the guys, it can be heard that the current supply of goods in the Imperial Capital City is more sufficient than last year.

It was during this process that the brand-new name of Da Han Guo Textile Group immediately attracted the attention of these caravan leaders.

So they returned to their mansion in a daze, and began to report to their big boss about the harvest of doing business in the Seleucid Empire last year, and at the same time inquired about such a textile group.

The osses behind these caravan gates belong to the great nobles of the Han Kingdom. After hearing the income reported by the caravan leaders, the great nobles were overjoyed in the end, and rewarded these caravan leaders one after another. After hearing the name of the Dahan Kingdom Textile Group, all the osses laughed without exception.

;That's right, it's a good thing that there is a textile group in the Han Dynasty, otherwise the demand for cloth that has already been established will indeed weaken for a long time, but anyway, what you have to remember now Yes, from now on, there will be absolutely no problem with the supply of cloth. Next year we will prepare more carriages, more guards, and more goods to go to the Seleucid Empire, earning him a lot of money. a sum. ;

Although the osses are all well-known and respectable figures in the Han country, after hearing the dozens of times the profit, each of them still couldn't help but feel a little bit faster.

It’s really not that I haven’t seen money, but it’s really too easy to go to the Seleucid Empire to earn this money, it’s like picking it up, and it’s too much.

And after these caravan leaders came back, they were well rewarded and canonized by the osses, and some even got official positions to do it. Naturally, they were all full of ambitions, and they started in the restaurants of the imperial capital, All kinds of banquets for relatives and friends.

At these banquets, the caravan leaders naturally bragged about their experience of making a fortune in the Seleucid Empire, and described it vividly to their relatives and friends. All are golden places.

After these relatives and friends heard the descriptions of the caravan leaders, they were all excited.

There is really no way not to be excited. After all, where else can I find such a good place? There is money all over the place. If you take any goods from the Han Kingdom, you can sell them at high prices in the past, and you only need to pay taxes to get them. The country's business documents can be protected by the government of the Seleucid Empire.

Based on the testimony of these caravan leaders, the business operation of the Han Dynasty to the west to enter the Guanxi was completely detonated.

Chapter 1181 Zhao Qian's Bold Decision (No.13)

This time, when the caravan leaders were still communicating with the oss behind them, and were shocked by the ever-changing output of the textile group in Dahan, Ambassador Liu Liang had already met Zhao Kuo.

"Liu Liang was lucky enough to see His Majesty going to the Seleucid Empire this time, and finally successfully completed the task entrusted by His Majesty." "When Liu Liang spoke, there was trembling in his voice due to excitement, but it was more proud and proud.

After all, this time Liu Liang has indeed completed the task very satisfactorily, and it definitely belongs to the kind of credit that can be promoted and made a fortune.

Zhao Kuo looked at Liu Liang with a smile, nodded and said: "Very good, very good, I already knew that you are a reliable and useful talent, and now it seems that you have lived up to my expectations."How about this, tell me some important things about your Seleucid Empire's missions, and let me know what kind of country the Seleucid Empire is. ;

Although Zhao Kuo has already fought a battle with the Seleucid Empire, after all, it is a real fight between everyone on the battlefield. The real life of the Seleucid Empire, the lives of their kings and nobles Conversation habits, etc., etc., these things are of course impossible to learn from the battlefield.

Naturally, Liu Liang didn't dare to be negligent, and hurriedly brought the things Zhao Kuo asked to make one by one.

It took several hours to talk about it, and Zhao Kuo also got excited after listening to it, so he left Liu Liang in the palace to eat together, and talked until midnight, after Liu Liang's mouth became dry, Zhao Kuo was satisfied nodded.

"It turns out that the Seleucid Empire is such a country. If you didn't tell me, then I really don't know."Liu Liang, you really have made a lot of contributions. I decided to reward you with 100 million yuan, and at the same time promote your title to one level.As for your official position, I have decided to create a new Seleucus Department in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and you will be the director of this Seleucus Department. ;

As soon as Liu Liang heard Zhao Kuo's reward, he smiled on the spot and knelt down towards Zhao Kuo.

This reward is definitely very, very generous. Usually, Liu Liang may have to work hard in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for 5 or 10 years. He may not be able to get the reward. This time, he can get it just by going to the Seleucid Empire for a year. How? Can people not be overjoyed?

Afterwards, Liu Liang took the letter written by Li Jian that he had already carried in his arms as a letter to Zhao Kuo, and handed it to Zhao Kuo respectfully, and then left.

Looking at the letter from Li Jian in his hand, Zhao Kuo felt a little curious in his heart. Although Liu Liang said he was an ambassador on the surface, in fact, the minion that Zhao Kuo sent to the Seleucid Empire was actually Li Jian. establish.

Only these old nightingales were Zhao Kuo's most reassuring people.

Looking at Li Jian's letter, Zhao Kuo's brows gradually wrinkled, and then slowly relaxed.

Judging from Li Jian's online letter, Zhao Kuo can read a very strong confidence. It is obvious that Li Jian feels that the demise of the Han Dynasty and the Seleucid Empire are already a very natural thing that only needs to be carried out for two or three years. The construction is left and right.

So now there is a question, that is, Zhao Kuo, should he adopt Li Jian's suggestion?

Zhao Kuo smiled, and solemnly put away the letter.

;Then set the end of the Seleucid Empire in two years' time. ;

The demise of the Seleucid Empire has not yet happened, but the demise of the Korean state has ended, and the aftermath of the demise of the Korean state is still rippling on the Korean peninsula.

This is the southernmost coast of the Korean peninsula, with bare reefs on the shore, so it can be said that there are few people.
