Chapter 2146: Little expert in scientific governance (16)
"Are you saying that the guards at the city gate look stronger?"
"It's not just guards. Have you noticed that the people of Dachang Kingdom seem to have practiced it."
"I saw their butchers cutting the bones with one knife."
"I saw the waiter who was serving food had sandbags tied to his legs."
"I found that the vendor who set up a stall on the street today had strong arms, and there was a pair of huge stone locks behind his stall."
"Remember the little girl who almost fell down when we went into town?"
"The girl fell somewhere. Didn't you see her somersaulting and leaving?"
"I went shopping today and the carriage got stuck in a crack in the rocks. A scholar came over and helped me lift the carriage out."
"Do you still remember the sister-in-law who caught the chicken? Don't you think her speed in getting into the house was too neat?"
"I don't know if my sister-in-law is very agile, but the official who picked us up, didn't you notice that he is very agile? He must be a military general!"
"It's probably not a military commander. I've seen his hand, which is used to hold a pen. Although there are thin calluses on the palm, it looks like it was newly polished."
"What exactly does Dachang mean? It can't be that he has practiced it in advance to scare us."
"It's unlikely. How can there be such obedient people?"
"That's right, looking at their posture, this can't be accomplished in a day or two, let alone women and children."
The envoys became more frightened as they talked, and a huge question mark was drawn in their hearts.
They have long heard of the concept of all-powerful soldiers, but they only heard about it in the past.
Unexpectedly, today I saw a real situation in Dachang Kingdom where all the people were in arms.
What exactly does Asuwan want to do?
Yasen, the envoy commander of Kucha, has been sitting quietly at the end of the long table, watching everyone talking in horror about what they saw along the way.
Suddenly, Yasen stretched out his slender fingers and clasped the table, "Okay, since none of you want to go out.
This guy, just watch me take action." I'm most annoyed by people who have other people's ambitions.
It's not scary to brag on your own, but what's scary is having others help you brag.
After hearing Yasen's words, everyone fell silent.
It's not that they don't want to come out, it's that they don't dare to offend either side.
Dachang and Qiuci had a wolf and a tiger, and they were the poor creatures caught in the middle by the wolves, tigers and leopards.
In the past two years, Kucha has risen while Dachang has declined.
Therefore, they had no choice but to respect the envoys of Qiuci and make sure that they followed his lead.
In fact, if you can choose.
They also hope that Dachang Kingdom can remain standing.
After all, they can still survive by paying tribute to Dachang.
But if Kucha suppresses Dachang, they may lose the country they depend on for survival.
But in this case, you can only think about it in your heart, but you must not let Yasen know about it.
Seeing the shrinking behavior of everyone, Yasen raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a sarcastic sneer.
He just likes to see these people who dare to be angry but dare not speak out. It makes him feel comfortable physically and mentally.
Generally speaking, before paying tribute, there should be a palace banquet.
On the day of the palace banquet, the envoys could compete with officials from Dachang Kingdom in their skills at the banquet.
At the same time, envoys can also send warriors to exchange experiences with Dachang generals.
After this, the envoys from various countries presented their gifts.
The day after the palace banquet, the official responsible for the reception of Dachang Kingdom will arrange for the envoys to visit their capital.
By the way, let your well-trained soldiers demonstrate your military power to the other party in order to scare the other party.
Finally, prepare some
Let the envoys take away the special products.
Originally, these were routine operations. Not only Dachang officials were familiar with them, but even the envoys knew the process by heart.
But this year there is something different.
In order to wait for other envoys to arrive one after another, the envoys who arrived first would rest and reorganize themselves in the post station.
There were still two days before the palace banquet, but the envoys discovered that before the palace banquet, they had already spent almost all their money.
Although they are all small countries, since they are on long-distance business, the monarch will not be harsh on them in terms of travel expenses when they go out.
Kyoto in Dachang is relatively prosperous and has relatively complete things.
Therefore, people who were acquainted with them all sent things and money one after another, hoping that they would help them exchange some things back.
Such favors are naturally possible.
Therefore, each envoy has a lot of money and special products.
Just waiting for the palace banquet to end, he went shopping in Kyoto.
But now, they have only been here for less than three days, and their originally abundant money has almost been spent.
The reason is that this year's postmaster has been replaced by a postmaster who has an extraordinary and refined appearance, as if he has been banished to the world.
This man looked like someone who could not live with the world. He pursed his lips slightly and smiled, which would make even a man's heart flutter.
When the envoys had nothing to do, they all liked to chat with the postmaster.
After three or two chats, something went wrong.
The immortal postmaster covered his lips in surprise, "You have been to Kyoto so many times, but you have never tasted the century-old wine that we have sealed here."
The envoy of a certain country said "hundred-hundred-year wine". What the hell is that? Are you jealous?
Isn’t wine a seasonal thing? It can last for a hundred years.
The postmaster who was relegated to immortality and was bestowed with fame and wealth by Jin Qing knew that he had made a mistake.
He quickly waved his hand and said, "Moti Moti, it's all my talk. It's really hard to find that wine. Even I only have two jars at home."
Seeing two blushes appearing on the postmaster's beautiful face due to anxiety, the envoy of a certain country immediately proudly took out a gold ingot of ten taels from his pocket and said, "Please ask the postmaster to buy a jar for me."
The postmaster held the gold in both hands and sent it back to the envoy, "That century-old wine is expensive and tastes bad. Your Excellency, please don't mention it again."
Hearing that the postmaster's words meant that there was not enough money, the envoy blushed and immediately wanted to take the gold back.
But seeing that beautiful face, she finally gritted her teeth and held on to her face, "I don't ask for much, and I even bothered the postmaster to help me find a drink so that I can have a taste of it so that when others talk about it in the future,
I can't answer the call."
Fugui sighed, "Well, I'll send you a drink later, and I won't let you and I get to know each other."
Seeing the envoy leaving with a lot of gratitude, the guard who had been hiding behind came to Fugui and said, "Your Majesty, where did we get the century-old wine?" Isn't that jealous!
Their Jun Shi was really awesome. When he said he could cheat money, everyone took it as a joke.
But I didn't expect that people actually have such ability.
Even if you ask others to spend money, that person will still be grateful to you and your servant. He is really capable!
The son of Da Sinong, Jin Qing's nominal servant, the former rich and noble young master who was relegated to immortality, and now the postmaster Fugui turned to the guard and smiled.
Her beautiful face just now turned into a mean widow's face in an instant.
The guard "" is indeed a master at cheating money. Look at how easily his expressions switch.
The guard was complaining secretly in his mind, but he heard Fugui already opening his mouth and saying, "Go to the warehouse and bring a jar of wine, pour a cup of grape vinegar and a cup of pickle water into it and mix it evenly, and bring another cup over in the evening." If there is too much, it will be worthless.
Guard "" this big liar who has betrayed his heart!
