The people sent to the Wei State to inquire about the news came back and said that someone had seen Erhu and his son. They went directly through the Wei State to Dazhou, and they should have settled in Dazhou.
After listening to this, Ji Jie once again felt that the name Erhu was a bit familiar. It seemed that I had heard it before, but couldn't remember it. Thinking about it carefully, the scope of activities in Da Zhou was only the royal city and Zhaocheng, the back cover. Absolutely escape.
No more than these two places.
"Sister Qing, you immediately send two people to Tuolong Pass to find Ji Jian!" Ji Jie ordered: "Let him cast a wide net to find this two tigers. The most important thing is to find his son. Once found, send the news to him immediately."
return!"
"Okay!" Qin Qing went to do it immediately, and his men rushed to Tuolong Pass day and night.
King Zhao Xiang gave the Wei envoy a letter of credence, which clearly stated that Ying Zheng, mother and son would be released back to Qin in five years. Of course, the premise was that the Qin army was not allowed to invade the Zhao border within five years. Otherwise, this period would be indefinite.
of extension.
So far, it proved that the rescue of Zhao Ji and her son was a complete failure. Guo Kai, Zhao Mu and other ministers returned the gifts they had received before, but the items returned were significantly reduced.
These people can be considered to have contributed, so just leave some behind. Ji Jie is very open to these things.
Prince Zhao Qian was unable to help. Ji Jie urged the tunnel warriors who were digging the tunnel to speed up and try to complete the work within seven days. Now that the credentials have been issued, he, the Wei envoy, had to choose a time to leave, otherwise he would be criticized by sensitive people.
Suspicion.
Four days later, the two people who went to Tuolong Pass returned, accompanied by Ji Jian and several followers.
"Ji Jian, why are you here?" Ji Jie hugged him enthusiastically. After not seeing each other for two months, this guy became much stronger.
"Haha, Tuolong Pass has settled down. I heard that your Majesty has done some earth-shattering things in Zhao and Wei, so I can't wait to follow you!" Ji Jian said with a smile: "We have a strong army now, and I can't wait to follow you!"
I summoned three thousand new troops with my tone, and trained them exactly according to the method you gave me. It has been quite effective for more than a month!"
After Zhao Ling arrived at Tuolong Pass, he was directly appointed as the general of the cavalry battalion, commanding 1,200 soldiers. Ji Xueling also volunteered to become the leader of the assassination team, leading her soldiers to practice hidden weapons and assassinations all day long, and will
The overall strength of the assassination team has reached a new level.
"Great, you are quite capable!" Ji Jie patted Ji Jian's shoulder and said happily, "It seems that the decision to keep you was the right one!"
"Your Majesty, I'm so impressed. I can't recruit so many soldiers with my little skills!" Ji Jie said modestly: "This is mainly because your reputation is far and wide, and people nearby have heard that you have occupied Tuolong."
Pass, small and large groups of people came to join us, not only did they recruit three thousand new troops, they also added thousands of farmers, and we have plenty of fertile farmland!"
Ji Jie introduced Ji Jian to Qin Qing. The boy was so stupid that he almost called her sister-in-law. Fortunately, he blocked his mouth in time, otherwise he really didn't know how it would end.
Ji Jian also brought good news: Erhu had been found, and so had his son.
What surprised Ji Jie was that Erhu turned out to be the farmer who was beaten by Heikui when he first returned to Zhaocheng, and his son was Xiaohu!
That night, if Xiaohu hadn't sent the news of the bandit's attack in time, there might not have been many people left in Zhaocheng who could breathe. Considering his tiger-headed appearance, who would have thought that he was Wang Zizheng!
"I originally wanted to bring the father and son here together, but Princess Xueling said it was too dangerous!" Ji Jian said with a smile: "Your Majesty may not have thought of it, but Erhu is now also a defender of Tuolong Pass, and Xiaohu leads There are a bunch of kids who are competing with each other and are following the training of the new army. Not to mention, they are very impressive!"
This is really good news. Wang Zizheng has been found, and more than half of the mission has been completed. Moreover, he is now at Tuolong Pass, where the power of Zhao State is difficult to reach. The most important thing right now is to rescue Zhao Ji. After mother and son are reunited, together Sent to Qin.
After three rounds of drinking, Ji Jie said to Ji Jian: "Tuolong Pass has just come into our hands and the foundation is stable. I think you should rush back as soon as possible, so that I can have peace of mind!"
Ji Jian waved his hand and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. With General Zhao Ling here, nothing will go wrong! He was from the Zhao army's border defense camp, and his ability to defend the city is better than mine. Besides, Princess Xue Ling is still in charge, so there will be no chaos. Why don't you still You know, Brother Zhao and I hit it off instantly and became sworn brothers with different surnames!"
"Really, that's great!" Ji Jie picked up the wine bowl, and the two of them drank another bowl happily.
"I wonder what new plans your Majesty has after returning this time?" Ji Jian said with a worried look on his face: "We now have territory and people, but the daily food and salary expenses of the three thousand new troops are huge. It's terrible. If I hadn't gotten a large sum of money when I won the level, I could have been able to support it for a while, and I would have been stretched long ago!"
Ji Jie also thought about this problem. As the saying goes, agriculture is the foundation of a country, and business is the way to make a country rich. Having a territory can only be regarded as barely gaining a foothold. If you want to make the country rich and strong, you must have strong business as the backing. Otherwise, everything is empty talk. .
When it comes to doing business, he can ask Qin Qing for help, but that can only be done by teaching him to fish. Tuolongguan must have its own handicraft manufacturing industry to produce some things that cannot be made elsewhere, and then use Qin Qing's business channels Only by making sales can you make huge profits.
What can be done?
After humbly asking for advice, Ji Jie acquired contemporary business knowledge from Qin Qing. The most profitable business was the trading of silk, ordnance, salt and grain, as well as the livestock and horse business.
These are traditional industries that Ji Jie is not interested in. He knows that even if he exerts 120% of his efforts, he will never be able to surpass Qin Qing in this life.
Of course, if he could successfully trick her into becoming his wife, it would be equivalent to controlling a huge business group, but this was a rare thing, and it was not Ji Jie's character to focus solely on it.
Men, you have to rely on your own strength to achieve your goals.
Taking out the letter Ji Jian brought, it was written by Ji Xueling to him. The few lines of eyebrow embroidered seal characters on the silk expressed endless lovesickness. He slapped himself on the head and said to himself: "How many times I sent someone to Tuolongguan, but why didn’t I think of bringing a letter to Ling’er? What a failure! Wow, I got into the habit of sending text messages on my mobile phone. I forgot about writing a letter a long time ago. A way to communicate!”
Ji Jian's eyes fell on the silk letter paper again, and suddenly an idea came to his mind. Paper has not yet appeared in this era, why not make it and earn the first pot of gold?
The fact that paper can completely replace other writing materials shows that the emergence of this thing is revolutionary and cannot be underestimated.
The compass has been "invented" by him, plus the papermaking technology that he just thought of, and he took the time to implement black powder and printing technology, and the four great inventions will come out ahead of schedule!
Ji Jie began to search for the knowledge he had learned as a student, hoping to find a way to make paper.
