Chapter 745: Dont say you didnt predict what you said
When Li Yunze came out of Xianyang Palace, flaming clouds were already floating in the sky.
Zhao Ji took him to get the menstruation in the palace all afternoon. Li Yunze, who had been exhausted, felt extremely hungry in his belly.
Looking for his horse, he was about to find a shop to have a big meal, when a group of people came forward and stopped him.
Waving his hand to signal to the palace guards following him not to be nervous, Li Yunze glanced at the group of people in front of him, "Who are you?"
"Meet the Master."
The group of people first saluted, and then the leader said, "To let the Grand Master know that we are the disciples of Prince Yan, and we are invited to the banquet by the Prince's order."
"Going to a banquet?"
Li Yunze rubbed his chin, "It's such a coincidence, let's go."
Prince Dan's retainers led the way, and Li Yunze rode with him, followed by a team of guards specially arranged for him by Ying Zheng.
Even in Xianyang City, this team of guards followed him inseparably.
After all, Ying Zheng also knew that to Great Qin at this time, his Taifu was a god-level being.
One is that he is worried that Li Yunze will be killed, and the other is that he is even more worried that Li Yunze will be taken away.
Fortunately, this was Xianyang City after all, and Prince Dan did not dare to make too many mistakes.
Arriving at Prince Dan's residence, the scheming Prince Yan was already standing at the door to greet him warmly.
"I would be very grateful to you, Master, for coming."
"It's a coincidence. I happened to be hungry, so I came over to have a meal of wine and meat."
"Hahahaha~~~" Although he was about the same age as Ying Zheng, Prince Dan still pretended to laugh boldly, and then turned sideways and led the way, "Please, Master, I will make sure that Master is not drunk today."
'You still want me to get drunk with just ten or twenty percent rice wine these days?'
Among the heroes of the Warring States Period, the strength of the Yan State can only be said to be at the bottom among the other countries.
It's just better than South Korea.
The Yan State at this time was not the highly developed Great Plains of later generations.
The territory of Yan State is densely covered with water networks, numerous lakes, and swamps everywhere. Coupled with the cold weather and long winters, its products, population, and economy are average.
But even so, the enjoyment here at Prince Dan has not diminished at all.
After sitting at the table, the table in front of Li Yunze was filled with new porcelain that had recently been widely circulated among nobles from various countries.
Li Yunze built so many kilns and fired them repeatedly to produce porcelain, which is a matter of course.
This new porcelain naturally became Qin's flagship export product.
Porcelain has been around for a long time, but the quality is not high. The new porcelain uses modern firing technology and is very beautiful in appearance. It is deeply loved by nobles from all over the world.
At the same time, they were also sold to the Western Regions and even the more distant West through caravans, in exchange for raisins... and other supplies.
In addition to the mutton that is necessary for noble banquets, there is even beef that is usually only available during sacrifices.
Sprinkled with expensive spices brought back by the Qin army from the Western Regions, a table of dishes was more than enough for an ordinary family of five to harvest in a year.
Spices were brought from India. The Mauryan Dynasty caravans transported the spices to the Hellenistic city-states in Central Asia, and then from these city-states they were transported westward to Greece and Rome, and eastward to the Qin Dynasty.
The price is also calculated according to the distance. The farther away the place is, the more expensive it will be.
Even in Xianyang City, the price of spices is almost equal to gold.
Against the wall, dozens of musicians began to play music, which also cost a lot of money.
You must know that musicians only consume and do not produce anything. To support a musician requires at least the entire income of a family of five.
As Prince Dan clapped his hands, two teams of graceful dancers entered the main hall and danced to the music.
Well, the cost of raising a dancer is even more expensive than raising a musician.
The cost of today's meal almost requires the annual income of at least one hundred households in Yan State.
Li Yunze gritted his teeth, glanced at the dancers, and then started eating.
Seeing this scene, Prince Dan nodded slightly, thinking that it was natural for a person of Li Yunze's status to look down on these vulgar fans.
What he didn't know was that Li Yunze was in a saint state at this time, so of course he was not interested.
When Prince Dan was thinking about how to win over this person, he saw that Li Yunze had already swept away all the dishes in front of him and shouted, "One more."
Then he stared at Li Yunze with his mouth agape, and directly swept away the meals for at least several people.
The amount of food made Prince Dan deeply doubt whether this guy's stomach was connected to the Wei River in the distance.
When Li Yunze finished the meal for several people, something embarrassing happened to Prince Dan. The kitchen had no time to deliver more meals.
After all, it takes time to make cooked food, and Taizidan also has many diners to accompany him for dinner, so the kitchen did not expect that the food would be consumed so quickly.
"That's almost it."
Seeing Prince Dan losing his temper and ordering people to deal with the cooks, Li Yunze patted his belly and said generously, "I'm full."
"It made Taifu laugh."
Prince Dan also walked down the slope and immediately clapped his hands and said, "Come in."
The music stopped, the dancer left the stage, and then a beauty walked in with her head slightly lowered.
"Taifu, this is the noble daughter of the Yan Kingdom..."
In an era of low productivity, the chances of a beautiful woman coming out of ordinary people's homes are slim.
Even if there is, it will be difficult to maintain it if you start working in the sun and wind since you were young.
Unless they are taken away and trained since childhood, most beauties in the true sense come from aristocratic families who have no worries about food and clothing.
Li Yunze naturally knew what Prince Dan meant.
First there are fine wines and delicious food, followed by beauties, and then it’s time to send riches and mansions.
The final trump card is, of course, to offer high-ranking officials generous salaries.
In this era, this is basically the way to win over people.
He simply interrupted Prince Dan's introduction and said bluntly, "No need to say more, just send him to my house."
This girl was brought to Qin by Prince Dan as a gift.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Li Yunze is a kind-hearted person, so he simply rescued the girl from the sea of fire.
Prince Dan was overjoyed and immediately ordered his girl to be sent to the Taifu's residence.
When he spoke again and was about to continue giving gifts to strengthen the relationship, Li Yunze had already stood up: "Prince Yan, I have eaten your food and accepted the beauty you gave me. I have accepted this favor."
"I don't like to owe favors, so I will return them to you now."
Li Yunze stated his position very simply, "Write to your father and tell him not to get entangled with the Zhao State. You can't defeat the Zhao State. Gather your troops and horses, go northeast along the road near the sea, and seize Jizi North Korea."
The territory is reserved as a retreat. This is Yan's only chance. I will return the favor to you, don't say it was unforeseen."
During the Battle of Changping, Zhao State, which was once known as the most powerful state along with Qin State, was beaten to the point of urinating blood, and its national power was greatly reduced.
Yan Guo thought this was a good opportunity and wanted to take advantage of Zhao Guo's illness and take Zhao Guo's life.
Unexpectedly, it was the State of Yan that took the initiative to attack, but was beaten to the bone by the State of Zhao. Not only did the army suffer a series of defeats, they were even counterattacked back to the territory of the State of Yan by the Zhao State.
Only then did the state of Yan become anxious and sent the prince to Qin as a hostage to beg Qin for help.
Li Yunze knew this very well, so he warned Prince Dan not to fight with Zhao Guo, you can't beat him.
The Qin State would not send troops to rescue the Yan State. They wished that both Yan and Zhao would suffer a defeat.
At this time, Qin's unification of the world was unstoppable, and even the unification of the three Jins would only last a few more years.
Yan State has no strength and will definitely not be able to defeat Qin State when it attacks. The only way out is to go to the far northeast and seize the territory of Jizi North Korea as a retreat.
The geographical environment of this era was different from that of later generations.
There are lakes and swamps everywhere in the northeast, and there are dense forests and rivers everywhere.
After the Qin State destroyed Yan, it was really not worth the gain to go thousands of miles away and then destroy the remnants of the Yan State who fled to Korea.
This is indeed the only chance for Yan to survive.
Unfortunately, Li Yunze's kind reminder was not taken seriously by Prince Dan.
Seeing Li Yunze's back disappear, Prince Dan's face darkened, and he called his close confidants, "Send someone to follow him, understand all his movements, and wait for the opportunity."
The time to wait is naturally when Prince Dan leaves Qin.
At that time, either Li Yunze will be kidnapped and taken directly to Yan State.
After all, Yan State and Qin State are separated by Zhao State. If the Qin army wants to attack Yan State, it must first fight with its deadly enemy Zhao State, so naturally it is not a worry.
If he can't be kidnapped...then he must be killed, and he must not be left to Qin!
Li Yunze also roughly knew what Prince Dan wanted to do.
After all, this man was adventurous. Historically, when the Qin Kingdom was at its peak, he dared to send Jing Ke to assassinate the King of Qin. Arranging people to deal with him was just childish.
It's just...how could he care!
Even if Prince Dan sends a company of Jing Ke over, he doesn't care!
Li Yunze quickly put the matter of Prince Dan behind and started busy making the Black Dragon.
When Ying Zheng offered sacrifices to the Wei River, he wanted a black dragon to come out of the water to provide auspiciousness. There was no problem with this.
Li Yunze imitated Emperor Tianqi and transformed into a carpenter, and even led Ying Zheng and a group of Mohist disciples to make a black dragon.
To put it bluntly, it is just a piece of bamboo tube painted with black paint connected together, and then arranged to operate by human hands underwater.
Anyway, as long as there is a long black body that disappears and appears on the river, and occasionally a dragon head is revealed to make the people on both sides of the river scream and kneel down.
"This is a pig's bladder. It is inflated after treatment and stuffed into a bamboo tube to prevent it from sinking."
"This thing can also be used by people who operate black dragons, so they can stay underwater for a longer time."
"When performing sacrifices, things are tied directly to the bottom of the boat, and upon receiving a signal from the shore, the water ghosts are allowed to enter the water to operate."
"It doesn't require any difficult movements, just rise and fall to show your back."
"The faucet must be made more attractive, the bigger the better, so that people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait can see it clearly."
"This is a drawing, just follow the drawing."
"..."
This kind of thing is not stressful for Li Yunze at all. After all, there are so many fish-belly elixir books, campfire foxes, and river-bottom stone men with one eye in history.
In fact, our ancestors have been proficient in fraud for a long time.
Li Yunze took Ying Zheng to work together, and more importantly, he wanted to make him understand that there is no immortal elixir in this world, so he should die as soon as possible!
