inside the house.
The two sat opposite each other, white mist rising from the tea on the table.
Yang Biao's eyes were fixed on the scroll in his hand. It was marked with a forging process that was different from this era. Although he didn't understand this, he generally understood the value of this thing. Let alone talking about it, Zhao The country's old rival, the State of Yan, had developed mature ironware technology and eliminated costly copperware.
Various countries have done a lot of research on iron craftsmanship, and the results achieved are roughly the same, but they are not yet mature enough to fully replace copper.
Not every country has as rich iron ore resources as Yan State.
In this era when resources cannot be explored, obtaining such resources depends entirely on luck.
"I will personally take responsibility for this matter!"
Yang Biao took a deep breath, put it in his arms very solemnly, looked at Zhao Jia seriously, and promised.
If there is mature iron craftsmanship, some of Daijun's old weapons can be replaced. Compared with the elites in Handan, the treatment of the northern border troops has always been extremely poor. They even need to be self-sufficient in many cases, and armor, weapons, etc., It is always the rarest thing.
This is also the reason why Wei Wuzu of Wei State was able to dominate the world back then.
Heavy armored infantry is so shameless in this era that no soldiers from any country can compete with him head-on.
If the Big Stomach King hadn't lost his mind back then, how could Wei be in this situation now.
After all.
The Wei State just couldn't be stable. Once it became strong, it expanded, and then it prospered and then declined. Coupled with the terrain factors, it fell into ruins. It is still addicted to the glory of the past, living on the wealth accumulated by its ancestors. One day is one day.
"There is one more thing that the general needs to investigate. There is a piece of black land in the bitter cold land of the north. I want to know the exact location."
While Zhao Jia was speaking, he took out a map from the side and pointed to the northern part of the Yan Kingdom. That place belonged to the Hu people. For the vast Central Plains, this place was undoubtedly a barren and cold land, and even the value of the expedition was low. No, naturally no one has discovered the value of black soil.
This is why the black soil was not discovered until many years later.
The Central Plains is vast and rich in resources. Who would be interested in the territory of the barbarians?
But Zhao Jia knows the value of black soil. According to rumors, if a chopstick is inserted into it, it will sprout. Although this is an exaggeration, it is enough to show its value. Even if the soil is dug back, it can be used directly as fertilizer. Used to increase food output.
"Black earth?!"
Yang Biao looked at Zhao Jia in confusion, wondering why Zhao Jia would focus on such a thing.
"It's very important, it's related to the increase in food production."
Zhao Jiayan was concise and concise, reminding Yang Biao of the importance of this thing. If necessary, he would not mind Zhao Guo knocking it down in the future and letting the Hu people plant it. In the final analysis, the Hu people went south to plunder because of food problems. If they could be given a place to farm, the situation would naturally change.
In the past, the Hu people were so poor that they naturally thought about burning, killing, and looting. But if they could farm to support themselves, things would definitely change.
From a modern perspective, the Hu people were never part of China.
Zhao Jia doesn't mind taming these barbarians from this era. If he wants to extend his hands to Europe in the future, he must solve the problem of barbarians.
"?!"
Yang Biao naturally didn't know what Zhao Jia was thinking. He just thought it was incredible. There was such a magical land in the world that could increase food production?
While talking, Zhao Jia took out several more design drawings of tools related to farming, such as shaft plows and bobbin carts.
"These are all given by the Mo family?!"
Yang Biao couldn't help but ask.
Zhao Jia smiled and said cheekily: "These are just inventions in my spare time. I hope they can play a role in farming. The general can take them back together. After finding the black soil, we can Experiment.”
As for the problem of barbarians... In this era, Zhao Guo's beating of barbarians was no different from beating his grandson. He could knead them as much as he wanted.
If the Hu people had nothing to grab on their territory, and the area was too large, how could the Hu people have survived until now?
"Does this matter need to be reported to the king?"
Yang Biao looked at Zhao Jia with complicated eyes and asked. He was in awe of Zhao Jia at this moment. Gongzi Jia was worthy of being Gongzi Jia. Even if he was in Qin State as a hostage, he still missed his mother country in his heart. If the other party was still Zhao State, How wonderful the prince must be.
"The value has not been proven yet. What should I report to my father? The general can tell the teacher about this and wait until its value is determined."
Zhao Jia shook his head and said softly.
Yang Biao nodded, feeling heavy for a moment. If the things Zhao Jia gave him proved to be useful, their value would be a bit scary. Thinking of this, he wanted to return to Zhao Country quickly, just in case.
Think of this.
Yang Biao looked at Zhao Jia and asked: "Master, do you still have something to explain? If not, I will return to Zhao Kingdom today."
While talking, he touched something in his arms.
As for the 10,000 war horses with South Korea, it seems irrelevant at the moment. There are no others in Zhao State. There is really no shortage of war horses. After all, there are many Hu people in the north who specialize in raising these things.
For Zhao State, food and weapons are more important. Zhao State lost the Battle of Changping that year because of food shortages. If it can sustain for a few more months, the outcome will inevitably develop.
After all.
In a war involving hundreds of thousands of people, the competition is about national strength and baggage. As for the combat power of the army...at this level, they are almost the same.
As long as the guard is not too stupid, the entire army will not be wiped out.
The Battle of Changping...who would have thought that Bai Qi would really dare to trap and kill hundreds of thousands of soldiers.
Who dares to give this order? !
The King of Qin did not dare to do it openly. No one could bear this responsibility. After all, everyone in the world was watching. We were all a family hundreds of years ago, and this was not how we killed people. Although the decision was correct, this kind of thing Is it a question of right or wrong?
"No more for now. The main purpose this time is to get in touch with the general and hand these things over to the general. We will talk about the rest someday."
Zhao Jia can only give these things at present, and he must take steps step by step. After determining the value of these things, his status in the hearts of Li Mu and others will naturally change. After King Zhao Yan dies, he can make some logical plans. thing.
He still trusts Guo Kai and Zhao Qian's 'ability'.
"Take care, young master."
Yang Biao did not feel tired, and even his eyes were a little more energetic. He bowed his hands to Zhao Jia and said in a deep voice.
Zhao Jia did not forget to add: "General, remember to keep it secret. It is not appropriate to let too many people know about this matter, otherwise it will be detrimental to me."
"You will finally understand."
Yang Biao cupped his hands and responded, then strode out of the house.
This time I went to Korea to meet the young master, I really gained a lot. At the same time, I also confirmed some things. These are enough. As for the future, let's see in the future.
He touched the thing in his arms and felt that the sky was a little brighter for a while.
Zhao Jia watched the other party go away, with a flash of expectation in his eyes. He was curious whether there was black land in this world. If there was, some plans might be started in advance.
"People are gone?!"
Da Siming walked out from the side, staring at Zhao Jia with a hint of doubt in his cold eyes. She brought the person back all the way, and Zhao Jia just chatted with him for a while and then let him leave?
For some reason, she felt so angry and her chest hurt.
Zhao Jia smelled the fragrance wafting in the air and looked at Da Siming. She had just finished washing, her hair was not tied up, her long hair fell casually on her shoulders, she was wearing a black and red dress, and she had a pretty face. A blush just out of the bath made her look more feminine than before.
Especially the heavy things in front of me seem to become more magnificent as the restraints are lifted.
Maybe when it fluctuates, it will become even more turbulent.
As if aware of Zhao Jia's gaze, Da Siming instinctively raised his hands to cover his chest. His eyes were a little colder, staring at him fiercely, with a slightly harmless threat.
"Thanks for your hard work."
Zhao Jia rarely teased Da Siming and said softly.
Da Siming was stunned for a moment. He was quite unaccustomed to Zhao Jia's tenderness towards him. He rolled his eyes at the other party and said calmly: "Master, please don't forget our agreement."
"Promise? You mean Canglong Qisu~"
Zhao Jia's eyes moved slightly and he joked.
Da Siming didn't answer, just stared at Zhao Jia. If Zhao Jia dared to lie to her, she wouldn't mind going back to Mr. Dongjun to report it. That's all in the past. This matter related to Canglong Qisu. She believed that Mr. Dongjun would not Will Zhao Jia be tolerated any longer?
"Canglong Qisu... There are indeed some clues in South Korea, and many people are pursuing them, such as Tianze and Bai Yifei."
Zhao Jia's eyes moved slightly and gave his answer.
The Yin Yang Family is extremely concerned about Canglong Qisu, and seems to be deliberately protecting this secret. This has been the case for hundreds of years. Almost all those who pursue this secret are assassinated by the Yin Yang Family.
He doesn't mind causing some trouble for Tianze and Bai Yifei.
Maybe the dead Tianze is the best Tianze. As for conquering him, Zhao Jia is not sure.
How could a man who had been imprisoned for more than ten years be subdued by Zhao Jia with a few words, and whose heart was full of hatred, not to mention that the credibility of Baiyue people was not very good.
Da Siming's eyes narrowed slightly, his cold eyes stared at Zhao Jia, and he asked in a deep voice: "What about you?"
She didn't believe that Zhao Jia was not interested in Canglong Qisu's secret.
Zhao Jia chuckled lightly, looked at Da Siming again, and joked: "Dongjun, you can ask me this question, you don't seem to be suitable~"
Da Siming endured Zhao Jia's gaze, snorted coldly, then turned and walked towards her room. She had to change clothes, otherwise she would always feel like Zhao Jia was looking at her whole body. The feeling made her skin crawl.
"Ha~"
Zhao Jia smiled. He was in a good mood at the moment because everything went according to plan and nothing went wrong.
As for Yang Biao’s safety...
Now that Tianze is causing such trouble, Ye Mo has no time to care about it, not to mention that there are ten thousand war horses as an obvious temptation. Ye Mo will not betray his face, and even Bai Yifei does not dare to do so.
…
…
The rescue operation at the Prince's Mansion continues.
Bai Yifei's figure appeared in another place, which was a lake. The fog in the early morning was so thick that it almost blocked the morning sun. With the reeds all around, the light was even dimmer.
A small boat was floating on the lake at the moment, with an invisible man in a raincoat sitting on the bow. He seemed to be fishing.
"how?"
Bai Yifei looked at the other party and spoke concisely.
"The Marquis had to check a lot of things, so it took a little longer, but one thing is certain. The relationship between the Prince Jia of Zhao and the Queen Mother of Qin is very good, and he can become the Changxin Marquis of Qin. , was supported by the Queen Mother of Qin, even the fiefdom.
Who would have thought that the young master of Zhao could be loved by the queen mother of the enemy country.
Perhaps this has something to do with Gongzi Jia's mother and queen. It is said that the Queen Mother Zhao Ji of Qin once received favors from her in Zhao. "
The coryclothes guest spoke unhurriedly, and at the end, he was a little surprised. As for the truth...who would have thought that the Queen Mother of Qin and Zhao Jia had that kind of relationship. No matter how powerful the brain is, they can't think of it. It is impossible for his intelligence network to support him in finding that piece.
Zhao Gao and his snare are not vegetarians.
Bai Yifei asked: "What else?"
"There is a very interesting person in the Qin State recently. The Marquis may want to pay attention to him."
"who?"
The coifed guest said slowly: "Li Si, the ninth master Han Fei's fellow disciple, studied under the Confucianist Xunzi. After he entered the Qin Dynasty, he gained the importance of Lu Buwei. Perhaps soon, he will represent the Qin State and enter South Korea. As for the purpose, it has not yet been found out. clear."
"Where is Zhao State?"
Bai Yifei responded lightly. He asked the coir raincoat guest to check these things for the next meeting with Zhao Jia. He was still somewhat interested in Zhao Jia.
The business of ten thousand war horses... Is this the other party’s true purpose?
He doesn't think so.
Ji Wuye would be tempted by this gift, but he would not, because he knew very well that there is no free lunch in this world, and any such tempting gift would definitely have a greater conspiracy behind it.
"Li Mu from the State of Zhao has returned to Handan in recent days. He did not receive the order from King Yan of Zhao. He returned privately. He may have something to do with the Marquis Changxin."
The coiclothes guest smiled and said with interest.
"that's it?"
Bai Yifei asked with a frown.
He was not satisfied with what the coir raincoater found.
Linyi Ke said helplessly: "Time is too tight, and what the Marquis wants to investigate involves Zhao and Qin. It's not that easy to find out clearly."
His intelligence network is very strong, but Qin and Zhao are not vegetarians, let alone when it comes to such things. He has done his best to find out these things.
"Continue to investigate, I want to know what Zhao Jia is planning."
Bai Yifei said indifferently.
Hearing this, the coir raincoat guest pondered for a while and said: "He is very close to an accomplice of Tianze. The Marquis should know that person, Yan Lingji... He may also be eyeing Tianze. Perhaps the Marquis You can start here.”
"...Yan Lingji."
Bai Yifei's cold eyes were a little more troubled, and he whispered to himself.
