And in Yelang Kingdom, Li Shiqi gently pushed the box in his hand: "This is a gift from His Highness to the Prime Minister!"
Opening the box, he saw a box full of exquisite silver jewelry of various shapes, which made Prime Minister Yelang's eyes suddenly light up. But then, he gently closed the box, cupped his hands and said, "The envoy from the Kingdom of Heaven sends such a heavy gift. This is what I asked for."
Things are bound to be extremely difficult, and as an old man, I just want to live out my days in peace!"
As he spoke, he pushed the box back.
Li Shiqi chuckled and directly made a condition: "My Highness needs a large number of slaves and craftsmen. If the Prime Minister is willing, he can even send troops to capture some from the surrounding areas. Take as many as there are Jiujiang merchants!"
"hiss!"
Yelang Guoxiangqing couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. In the past few months, a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry have flowed into Yelang. All the materials available on the market have been wiped out. Some tribes below have begun to attack each other.
, just to capture more slaves.
That is to say, the power of Da Qin was too great for the country's leader to dare to move lightly, otherwise he would have driven out all the merchants of Da Qin.
But now, His Highness Da Qin actually sent people to directly purchase slaves. It was obvious that he wanted to make the Yelang Kingdom a knife in his hand, start a war with neighboring countries, and capture a large number of people from neighboring countries for him.
Yelang was already the largest among a group of small countries in the south, but after Li Shiqi arrived, he was still disappointed.
Even the capital city was so barren that there were not many goods. The only lively shops were all opened by Chu merchants, and all supplies were plundered by Chu merchants.
Li Shiqi even felt that the Yelang Kingdom's slash-and-burn farming, supplemented by hunting, was too backward, and that was why there was no trouble in the country. If it had been Da Qin, it would have been full of war.
We met the Lord of Yelang Kingdom once, but his cold expression was clearly visible to the naked eye. He was obviously dissatisfied with the merchants of Chu who were plundering the Yelang Kingdom, and they did not dare to offend Great Qin, otherwise they might not even see him.
Under such circumstances, even if Li Shiqi had extraordinary powers, he would not be able to convince Lord Yelang to capture slaves for him.
However, Li Shiqi, who was sent as an envoy for the first time, never wanted to go back in despair. A group of businessmen with no status in the Chu region had tricked a bunch of small countries into this. He was a disciple of the Zongheng family. If he went back like this,
People still think that their abilities are not as good as a group of businessmen who are unscrupulous for profit.
After careful inquiry, I found out that the Yelang Kingdom was made up of a bunch of tribes, and the leader of the Yelang Kingdom was only the largest tribal leader, far from being the leader in the country.
Looking at Prime Minister Yelang, he was dressed in silk clothes, no matter the accessories or the expression, he could be said to be the same as the nobles of the Central Plains.
"The Prime Minister should have heard that my Highness is the most promising prince in the Qin Dynasty to inherit the throne. All the princes only entrust a small city in the fringe area, and only my Highness entrusts a county. From this alone, it can be seen that my Highness is the emperor's
Your Majesty’s place in your heart!”
"Now my Highness is going to build Jiujiang County aggressively, which requires a large number of slaves. If the Prime Minister helps with this, my Highness will definitely remember this favor from the Prime Minister!"
Seeing that after he finished speaking, the other party's expression did not change at all. It was obvious that he did not have enough chips. Li Shiqi also smiled and said: "To be honest, the Prime Minister of the country is staying here in Yelang Country. It is said that he is the Prime Minister of the country, but in fact it is just a barbaric land.
The tribal leader is like a savage!"
"Even if the Prime Minister doesn't think about himself, why don't he think about future generations? If you stay in a place like this, if those descendants fail to live up to expectations in the future, you will really become savages!"
"If the Prime Minister is willing to help with this, after the matter is completed, my Highness can donate a house to the Prime Minister in Jiujiang County, so that the Prime Minister and his family can move to Jiujiang and live away from this wild land!"
"Qindu, if your highness can give me a house in Qindu, I will help you!"
Prime Minister Yelang looked at Li Shengqi with a calm expression. It was not that he lacked the money for a house, but as the prince of Qin and the most promising prince to inherit the throne, by giving him a house, he could avoid being
The nobles and wealthy households in Qin capital ostracized him.
What he really wants is not the house, but the gift given to him by the 20th Prince of Qin. As long as the 20th Prince agrees, he can buy the house himself.
As Yelang's Prime Minister, how could he not understand that Li Shiqi just wanted to disrupt the peace of the small country that was originally affiliated with Chu.
On the edge of big countries, small countries can only protect themselves by uniting. If they start chaos first, both sides will suffer in the end, but they can be manipulated by Qin.
It's just that none of the dozen small countries put together could be a match for the Chu State back then. However, Chu State's hundreds of thousands of troops were defeated by the Great Qin, which made him really unable to think about confronting the Great Qin.
Not to mention that the descendants will stay in this barbaric land without even a knowledgeable teacher. If the tribe accidentally falls, the descendants will have to live in this barbaric land forever.
Even if it was to keep his descendants away from this barbaric life, he would still take his family to a civilized country like Da Qin.
"Okay, I promise you on behalf of His Highness!" Li Shiqi immediately agreed, a house, but just with the help of His Highness's reputation, he can completely destroy the alliance between these dozen small countries. He believed that His Highness
Will never refuse.
Gently opening the box in front of him and looking at the dazzling jewelry inside, Prime Minister Yelang sighed with emotion on his face: "It is indeed jewelry from the Kingdom of the Central Plains. I have seen some silver items, but none of them."
Nothing compares to these pieces of jewelry!”
Li Shiqi smiled awkwardly, knowing that Prime Minister Yelang didn't believe him, so he immediately stood up and said: "I will ask the caravan to send the news back. It won't take long to bring His Highness's reply!
"
"No, you are too impatient. My eldest son is in Shouchun City now. According to the servant who came back, he seems to be in a place called Chunfeng Tower!"
"Old fox!" Li Shiqi sighed secretly in his heart, knowing that he was still too inexperienced to be manipulated by the other party. However, because he had His Highness as his back, the old fox didn't go too far. He just wanted his son to see His Highness to make it clear.
Attitude.
He was so angry that he couldn't help but stabbed: "If I remember correctly, Chunfeng Tower is the largest brothel in Shouchun City. If your eldest son lives in the brothel, you are not afraid to take him directly from inside.
Give me a daughter-in-law!"
Prime Minister Yelang's expression did not change at all. Even when he stayed in this barbaric land, he had heard that the brothel girls in the Central Plains wanted to teach poetry and calligraphy, but they were no better than the girls in the tribe.
In his heart, he secretly despised Li Shiqi for his lack of knowledge, but he laughed loudly and said: "Hahaha, if he can really bring a Central Plains woman back from the brothel, it will be an elegant thing. I will hold a big banquet in the tribe to celebrate!
