Chapter 494 Unstable factors before marriage(1/2)

When it comes to the country of Yingdu, the first thing that comes to mind is Buddhism.

The second thing that comes to mind is lizard, no, it is curry.

But Zhao Kun was not interested in curry, but the introduction of Buddhism made him a little wary.

But Amino was not Tang Xuanzang, so I think I would not be interested in Buddhism.

Because he only cares about money.

After pondering for a moment, Zhao Kun asked Amino: "When are you going to leave?"

Amino ate the snacks and said to Zhao Kun: "I'm leaving tomorrow. I'm here today to say goodbye to you. In addition, you have to give me delicious snacks before leaving, which symbolizes our friendship."

"I will give you delicious snacks, but aren't you doing business in the Western Regions and Qin? Why did you go to Peacock Kingdom?"

"I can't do anything about it either!"

Amino said helplessly: "I have recently traveled back and forth between the Western Regions and Qin State and saw many Western Region merchants. These people brought the goods to the Western Regions, so my business will be difficult, so I have to go to the Peacock State farther away. In this way, my porcelain can be sold at a good price!"

Hearing this, Zhao Kun finally understood Amino's thoughts.

This guy said before that he wanted to find valuable cash crops for him and exchange them for porcelain. This may not be the main thing. What he wanted was to do a monopoly business.

As the Western Regions countries continued to send missions to Qin, the Western Regions merchants also came to Qin one after another, and Amino's caravan naturally had no advantage.

After all, in the Qin State now, porcelain can be obtained anywhere. If the merchants of the Western Regions bring porcelain back to the Western Regions, there will inevitably be competition, and even small profits and quick turnover.

In order to continue to maintain monopoly, Amino naturally needs to open up new markets.

This indirectly promoted the trade between the Central Plains and the Peacock Kingdom.

For Qin, this is naturally a good thing.

So Zhao Kun continued: "The distance between Peacock Kingdom is quite long. Even if you have to go there, you have to rest and get some time before going. Don't hurry to rush!"

"Don't worry!"

Aminu waved his hand and said, "My caravan can come from the Western Regions to the Central Plains, and I can also sell things from the Central Plains to the Peacock Kingdom!"

Speaking of this, he paused and said, "I can also sell things from the Peacock Kingdom to the Central Plains, as long as you can still exchange them with my porcelain!"

“This is OK.”

Zhao Kun nodded.

This trading method was originally an agreement between him and Amino, but now he has not decided which product to exchange for porcelain.

Since Dayuan learned that Qin needed sweat and blood, he would send someone to Malay Qin every once in a while.

Amino and Zhao Kun's porcelain replacement horses also failed one after another.

But now Amino is going to go to the Peacock Kingdom, Zhao Kun will figure out what the Peacock Kingdom can bring huge benefits.

In other words, what does the Central Plains need for the Peacock Kingdom?

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhao Kun finally got an answer.

He asked Amino, “Have you heard of cotton?”

"cotton?"

Aminu thought for a while and shook her head, "I haven't heard of this kind of flower. Are you looking for this kind of thing?"

"Cotton is not a flower used for viewing, it is a cash crop that can be used for textile!"

In fact, Zhao Kun drew cotton seeds a few years ago, but now cotton is not as good as one season.

He wanted to use cotton from this era to improve the variety.

According to historical records, cotton planting in the Central Plains did not begin to form a scale until the Ming Dynasty.

In other words, it is more than a thousand years later for people to wear cotton coats.

Although the Qin State already had cotton clothes, the work of improving varieties still needed to be done.

As for Yingdu’s cotton, we have to start with the Kapok robe.

It is said that during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, a monk named Bodhidharma came to Luoyang by sea, and later promoted Buddhism and created Zen.

Master Bodhidharma accepted many disciples before his death, and left behind a kapok cassock after his death, and was regarded as a Buddhist holy object.

According to later scholars, this kapok robe is a robe made of cotton.

Zhao Kun also learned about watching TV in his previous life. As for whether Yingdu has cotton, he still doesn't know, so he can only wait for Amino to search for it.

However, Amino seemed reluctant, so he asked Zhao Kun in confusion: "Your Qin silk is very popular in the Western Regions, why do you need to use other things to weave it?"

"Don't worry about this. As long as you can bring cotton seeds, I will exchange porcelain for you!"

"this....."

Amino couldn't understand the benefits of cotton, and still looked at Zhao Kun with some confusion: "This business is not cost-effective. Silk is the best material, and cotton cannot compare to it."

Zhao Kun understood Amino's character, so he said directly: "You just say you can change it or not!"

"Change!"

Aminu gritted her teeth and said vigilantly: "This is what you said. Don't bring it to me then. If you don't exchange it with me, I will lose money."

"Don't worry, as long as you can find it, I will definitely change it with you."

"That's OK."

After Aminu finished speaking the matter, she stood up and said, "If you can find it, I will bring it back. I won't say much now. I will set off tomorrow and say goodbye to you here."

Zhao Kun asked someone to bring a lot of snacks and sent Amino outside the door.

He reminded him: "The journey to Peacock Kingdom is long. If you encounter an accident, remember to save your life and do not risk your life for something outside of your body;

You can make money again when you have no money, and you can’t do business when you have no people.”

"I know this."

Aminu carried the bag of snacks on her back and said to Zhao Kun: "You just wait for me. As long as you don't do porcelain business with others, I, Aminu, will definitely come back alive and continue to do business with you."

"Don't worry."

"Then I'll leave."

After saying that, Aminu walked straight out of the hall.

Zhao Kun watched him leave, thinking about the possible dangers on the way to Peacock Kingdom, and of course he was somewhat expectant.

...........

at the same time.

In the study of the palace.

Fusu is reviewing memorials as always, after all, the cabinet has not been officially completed.

During this period, he needed to personally review the memorials.

At this moment, a loud noise came from outside the study.

"King of Qin, I have something to report."

"Come in."

Fusu Dandan said, and saw the person who came wearing a black dress and a mask, looking mysterious.

This is a man from Black Ice Taichung, one of the three mysterious forces in Daqin. Unlike the Iron Eagle Guard, they collect information from various departments at full time.

The visitor knelt down on one knee and bowed: "King of Qin, we have completed the security work in the city, but recently, many new faces have come, which is very suspicious!"

"Break face?"

Fusu frowned, calmly put down the brush in his hand and asked, "Do you know who it is?"

"Looking at the appearance and behavior, it's a bit like the Yin-Yang family."

"Yin and Yang Family?"

Fusu was shocked. This Yin-Yang family has always been a very mysterious existence, and there are few records of its strength.

I only heard that the Yin and Yang family is very powerful and good at divination and assassination.

When the seven countries were competing for power, they appeared, as if they had received a quotation from the nobles of the six countries to assassinate their father.

However, they failed. Since the six kingdoms were unified by Qin, they have disappeared in the mountains and forests and disappeared.

It was not until the Ying Yuanman incident that it reappeared again.

Fusu was also very curious about the Yin-Yang family. It is said that the Donghuang Taiyi of the Yin-Yang family is very mysterious, like a god and a human being, but can be regarded as a secret of heaven, and has lived for a long time.

It's an old monster.

There are many rumors about him among the people, but in general, this person is not simple.

Now that the Yin and Yang family have appeared in Xianyang, they are during the time when Zhao Kun’s wedding, what do they want to do?

Could it be that we should challenge the order of the Qin Dynasty?

After pondering for a moment, Fusu continued to ask: "Have they done anything recently? Did they find out whether they are at their residence?"
To be continued...
