This kind of efficiency shocked the Yuezhi, especially since they were sure that the other party had some pronunciation and grammatical errors when he first spoke to them, but later on he became so familiar with it that they were even more shocked and speechless.
"Can we meet in three days?" The envoys led by Guishang respectfully saluted Wu Yan. After arriving in the Central Plains, they did see the prosperity of the Central Plains.
Compared with the huge gap between rich and poor in Kushan, the Kushan envoy observed that at least the people in the Han Dynasty had no difficulty in surviving, and basically every family had a surplus of food.
Of course, Kushan people have no idea that all this has a lot to do with the cookies they met in Yunnan.
It is said that Cookie has grown seriously crooked recently, and digging into deep mountains and old forests has become a common thing. The research of continuing to expand food production has been forgotten by Cookie.
After all, Cookie has clearly understood by now that any high yield that does not mention soil loss is a rogue. Five stones plus rotational rest is basically the limit of this era.
No matter how high it is, unless it can complete the accumulation of fertilizer, it will be nonsense, so now Cookie has shifted its focus from high yield to heaven and earth essence plants, plus other specific plants.
It was night when Kuishang met Cookie, so he almost took Cookie down as a gangster. It is said that the purpose of Cookie's night trip was to find light plants suitable for cultivation.
After arriving in the south of Sichuan and Sichuan, the most magical plant that Cookie encountered was the light plant. However, since he could not continue to increase the yield and the research on heaven and earth essence plants had reached a bottleneck, Cookie deeply believed that he needed to study some other plants. s things.
No matter how you look at it, light-emitting plants are plants of great research value. It’s also good to plant these lighting plants on both sides of the road. Although there are fewer people suffering from night blindness now, people who had this symptom in the Han Dynasty definitely followed the thousands of years of research. Ten thousand is calculated, so taking photophytes as a future research target is considered valuable in Cookie's opinion, at least he will not be criticized for not doing his job properly.
To see whether a plant is a light plant, you can only look at it at night. Therefore, during that period of time, Cookie was always hiding in the day and coming out at night. As a result, he bumped into the Kushan envoy and appeared in the middle of the night. He was almost killed as a gangster.
If it weren't for the fact that three particularly strong masters suddenly appeared next to Cookie, making the Kushan envoy extremely fearful and didn't dare to take action, Cookie's behavior that looked like a gangster before would have killed someone at that time.
Fortunately, he had a psychic connection, and with Kuishang's fearful look on his face, Cookie left helplessly.
Having said that, if Kushan was really mean and Cookie did not let the immortal protect him and died there, the Han Dynasty and Kushan would have fought on the spot.
Fortunately, this kind of accident didn't happen, and they didn't communicate much, so they turned around and left.
Naturally, the Kushan mission had no idea how important the man who appeared in front of them was to this country.
But having said that, it is actually a very scary thing for every family to have a surplus of grain in this era. In just two years of promotion and the people's own learning, almost all the people in the Central Plains have learned the original planting methods and the improved seed selection model. .
For the common people, they may need to think about other things, but they will not mess with such important matters of life and death. Even official guarantees are extremely difficult to promote in the first crop, but after the first batch When the crops yield five stones of millet, nothing can touch the hearts of the people of this era more than grain.
Naturally, by the time of the second crop, almost all the people who knew about it started planting it step by step according to the original regulations of Cookie, and naturally they all got the desired results. This is also an important reason why Cookie's small temples are blooming everywhere.
It is no joke that food is the most important thing for the people. Cookies that solve the problem of eating are regarded as farmers in the eyes of the people of this era. Although there are always some strange situations in China's sacrificial gods, such as asking for a child, praying for blessings, etc. Weird priesthood.
But no matter what, for the people of this era, the output of five stones per mu is enough for them to live a stable life. With the stability of the people at the bottom, the entire country has gradually entered a stable period of development. This is also the reason why Kushan The envoys saw the scene of peace and prosperity for the country and the people.
It is precisely because of this situation that the people are prosperous that the Kushan envoys feel a little pressure. Every envoy who goes to other countries, in addition to submitting credentials, has another task, which is to see the situation in another country and compare it with theirs. how.
Obviously, the current situation of the Han Dynasty is much better than that of the Kushans. Although the Kushans now occupy the Ganges Plain and have the best fertile soil in the South Asian subcontinent, some people in the Kushans still starve to death, even just along the way. When they came to the west, the Kushan envoys saw the fields, and based on their feelings, they knew that the yield of the Han fields was much higher than that of their Kushans.
This is simply incredible. Any country that could achieve the title of empire in ancient times would not have invested too little in food.
But the gap between the two sides is so big that a non-professional can see it with the naked eye. This gap is really big.
"If you have any other needs, please feel free to put them forward and I will try my best to solve them." Wu Yan leaned over and said. As a spy that Li You conveniently placed in Dahonglu, his goal from the beginning was to deal with Kuishang. Naturally, Yuezhi said He has gone through in-depth study of both the Chinese and Yueshi characters.
However, being able to use him so quickly was indeed beyond Wu Yan's expectation. When Li You moved him from Liu Bei's rule to Dahonglu as an official, he thought he would be lurking for a long, long time, but he didn't expect that he would be able to use it so quickly. There is a chance soon, even if something is definitely going to happen to Guishang this time.
Li You can be regarded as a ferocious reformist in China, but at the national level, he belongs to the rank of imperialist conqueror.
I didn't find anyone around who could fight before, but now that I have determined that the troop transportation and delivery capabilities have improved to a certain level, Li You has already given the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions, including Kushan and Anxi, all with the number "X". They are all in the Han Dynasty. Within attack range.
To put it simply, Li You plans to occupy all these places. With such an idea, Li You naturally has to make plans in advance, first place his own people in Dahonglu, understand the foreign situation, and always be prepared to provoke international conflicts, even if there is no Conflicts must also be created, and Li You doesn't mind using dirty tricks.
The Han Dynasty had tens of millions anyway. If we hadn't paid attention before, guys like Wu Yan would have been buried.
After Li You painstakingly searched, who knew the Anxi dialect, who knew the Dawan dialect, who knew the Wusun dialect, who knew the Kangju dialect, anyway, there were all kinds of weird things, as long as Li You didn't understand the language. , he found the right candidate.
So even if Kushan didn't come to ask for the princess this time and was just a regular envoy, something not good would happen.
After all, Li You had mapped out the locations of the surrounding small countries based on ancient books and general directions, and in Li You's judgment, Guishuang was the location to be beaten in a close attack.
In short, no matter what Chen Xi's plan is, Li You will definitely kill Guishang, regardless of whether he is an ally or not. We have not contacted him for more than a hundred years. Back then, Ban even beat him up, so maybe he is just waiting for revenge, and even more Besides, it's so close, and I heard it's pretty strong, so I might as well kill it.
In terms of imperialist thinking, everything good must be ours, and everything within our attack range must be our territory. Unfortunately, there are no human rights in this era. Everyone is basically imperialist. At most, because of their different strengths, The determination of imperialism is different.
Wu Yan, who originally planned to make a stumbling block for Guishang after a while, became a little anxious after getting the news that Guishang was going to Weiyang Palace in three days. He was going to meet in Weiyang Palace in three days. If he didn't dig a hole for Guishang to jump in now, , then his mission basically failed.
But the time is too tight. If he wants to come up with a plan, he might be exposed. Therefore, although Wu Yan is a little urgent, he must also maintain the stability on the surface. He does not dare to be too eager and try his best. Look for Kushan's flaws.
In fact, the Kushan envoys have also been observing the Han Dynasty's fields recently. Before the emergence of industry, the field output of any country greatly affected the country's national strength.
Although the Kushan people do not grow millet, they have a strong interest in this grain that is obviously higher yielding and tastes better than the grain they grow, and they hope to introduce it from the Han Dynasty.
So when Wu Yan pretended to come to them to learn the Kuishang language, they were also trying to trick Wu Yan into telling him what he said. However, Wu Yan was a professional spy after all, so he quickly figured out what Kushan was thinking and asked for something. Just send the Kushan envoy to Jing Zhaoyin's prison first, and then lead the other party to rob the prison. This is also a way.
Anyway, the Han Dynasty did not give preferential treatment to foreigners. It would be better to create some black materials, and then throw the entire Kushan envoy into the pit, so that the Han Dynasty would feel disgusted with the country of Kushan.
In a few moments, Wu Yan had a plan on his mind, and a trick to deceive people was planned from start to finish. However, before Wu Yan could dig a bigger hole for Guishang, Wu Yan got an even more shocking piece of news.
Wu Yan was shocked when he heard it, and then he was overjoyed. Isn't this his biggest trap?
Is there a princess in the Han Dynasty now? Yes, there are, but there is only one real one, the regent princess Liu Tong. The rest can be regarded as princesses at most. The oldest is Liu Yu's daughter who is only ten years old, and the youngest is Liu Bei's daughter who was just born. As for the others The princess is gone.
In addition, Wu Yan really knows the strength of Guishang, so the person he wants to marry must be from the clan, instead of getting a palace maid to give her a princess name and then send it to fool her. If she does this, she will not actually regard Guishang as a person at all. look.
Others don't know, but the Yueshi have records about this aspect after all. The early Han Dynasty married a total of sixteen "princesses", but most of them were unknown names married to the Xiongnu.
The two daughters of the clan who actually married outside were both married to King Wusun. One was named Liu Xijun and the other was named Liu Jieyou. Of course, these two were not genuine. They were both the daughters of the descendants of the clan who had committed crimes, but after all, they were considered to be county officials. Lord, it's not too much for the emperor to give the title of princess, the others are all substitutes, used to fool ghosts.
After all, Wusun was considered a big country back then, and it was also considered an ally. It was indeed a bit crazy to treat them like this, but it was enough to illustrate the attitude of the Han Dynasty towards princesses who married outside the country.
Now that the King of Kushan wants Princess Shang, then according to the normal routine of the Han Dynasty, Kushan is indeed a big country and indeed an ally, so he is qualified to marry a princess. According to the relationship between the two parties, he can find a clan girl who has committed a crime and give the princess to him. It is not a big problem to give the title to the King of Kushan and become friends forever.
But the question now is, does the Han Dynasty have a clan? No more, he was killed about half a year ago within five servers, and the smell of blood in Chang'an has just been eliminated recently.
As for the adult princesses, princesses, and princesses, there is only one, well, the full name is Princess Regent, and the short name is Liu Tong, the Queen.
In this way, Wu Yan knew what would happen next without even thinking. It was simply too bad to be worse.
How about I give you a palace maid? We don't have any clan girls recently.
Do you think we Kushan don’t know what it means to fool the palace maid?
There really is no princess, and there really is no clan daughter. How about I find a beautiful woman, add her to the family tree, and then she becomes a princess, and then marry you, the King of Kushan.
Bah bah bah, we definitely can't reach an agreement in the end, and we all feel like we've been slapped in the face. Under such circumstances, we still use him to fan the wind and light will-o'-the-wisps? No need at all, just watch obediently. Maybe if you don't do anything, Kushan and the Han Dynasty will exchange letters of challenge on the spot.
Both sides have been kings and hegemons for many years, how could they bow their heads for the sake of others' face?
