"Princess, it is a fact that Da Qin cannot defeat it, so why do you continue to fight against Young Master Hao?"
Mu Kui frowned and looked at Ying Luo, puzzled by her attitude.
In his opinion, since Zhao Hao proposed a bet with Ying Luo, it meant that Zhao Hao had a certain interest in Ying Luo.
Whether it is as a wife, a concubine, or as a maid, as long as you can stay with Zhao Hao, it is a good thing.
As for Da Qin's attitude towards Min Yue, he was actually within his expectations.
After all, no one would be at ease with a monarch like Wu Zhu.
The purpose of his trip was to replace Wu Zhu and become the actual controller of Da Qin in the Fujian and Yue regions.
However, Ying Luo's unrest made him, the Fujian and Yue envoy on a mission to Da Qin, suddenly useless.
If he gets too close to Da Qin, Wu Zhu's confidants and even Princess Yingluo will regard him as a traitor. This will obviously be detrimental to his future return to Fujian and Yue to seize power.
So he had to convince Yingluo to compromise with Zhao Hao.
However, Yingluo is worthy of being a stubborn little princess and doesn't take Mu Kui's words seriously: "He invited us to watch the game today. He didn't have good intentions in the first place. The more we care, the prouder he becomes!"
"But we have to care. The princess has never thought about it. Even if you win over Young Master Hao and he agrees to evacuate the Qin army, what if we think the matter is over and he goes back on his word?"
Mu Kui said helplessly.
Princess Yingluo thought for a while: "What Doctor Mu means is that Zhao Hao may be acting against the will?"
"I have said before that Da Qin's military strength is very strong. He is the one who leads everything, and we can only act based on his expression!"
"Since he is so important, I will kidnap him back to Minyue to see if Great Qin wants to destroy our country or want their prince!"
"Ah? This"
Mu Kui was taken aback and said hurriedly: "No princess, this is Qin camp!"
"Doctor Mu, Yingluo is not a reckless person. Yingluo has a way to achieve her goal without causing trouble to Minyue!"
"But."
Mu Kui hesitated to speak, but finally couldn't help but ask: "According to the princess, this matter is determined to be successful?"
"The opportunity has presented itself."
Yingluo smiled and said: "The prince of the South Vietnam Kingdom has a good impression of me, and with my insinuations intentionally or unintentionally, he will definitely understand what I mean and run to convince their envoy."
"However, it may not be that easy to make South Vietnam our pawn through this method!"
Mu Kui frowned.
Yingluo said with a smile: "Of course I don't think that the prince of Nanyue can convince Nanyue to become our pawn. If it were that easy, Nanyue would not go to Daqin as an envoy and compromise."
"What does the princess mean?"
"Let the prince of South Vietnam kidnap Zhao Hao with me in a daze. By the time he finds out, it's already too late and he can only cooperate with us!"
"this"
Mu Kui stared at Ying Luo in shock, as if he had underestimated her scheming, and secretly wondered why a little princess who was harmless in the palace seemed to be a different person when she came out.
Could it be that her performance in the palace was all fake?
Thinking of this, Mu Kui couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The people who came out of the palace were indeed not simple!
Zhao Hao is like this, and so is Ying Luo.
"Since the princess has made up her mind, I can't say much, but please do not hurt Young Master Hao, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous!"
"Doctor Mu, don't worry, this princess has her own sense of proportion!"
Ying Luo smiled faintly and then walked out of the room.
After watching her leave, Mu Kui frowned, then walked to the desk, picked up a pen and wrote a few words, then called a confidant and said calmly, "Give it to Mu Lin without any mistakes!"
"yes."
On the other side, the west side of the post house.
The South Vietnamese envoys who came back from watching the game did not immediately discuss the excitement of the game, but discussed strategies to deal with Da Qin.
Like the Minyue envoys, they were also shocked by the military strength of Qin.
Compared with Minyue, which had personally experienced fighting against the Qin Dynasty, South Vietnam seemed a little less realistic, but this did not hinder their imagination at all.
Some of them were even thinking about whether to advise their king to surrender directly to Great Qin.
Fortunately, Kuntu is a stable person and did not get into trouble because of what he saw and heard today.
He looked around at the restless entourage, coughed slightly, and said, "Well, you don't need to worry. Compared with Minyue, we have never had a direct battle with Da Qin, and we are relatively friendly to each other!"
"However, Great Qin's goal is the entire Baiyue, and my father will definitely not agree to surrender to Great Qin. By then, we, South Vietnam, will fight against Great Qin sooner or later!" Fang Tai said with some worry.
The South Vietnamese envoys looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
Kuntu glanced at Fang Tai helplessly and sighed: "Can the second prince listen to what I have to say?"
"Oh, let me tell you, Doctor Kuntu."
Fang Tai reacted and scratched his head in embarrassment.
Kun Tu said seriously: "Although Great Qin is more powerful than we imagined, you must know that war is the last resort. If the problem can be solved through other methods, war will not happen!"
Hearing this, everyone looked at Kun Tu with some confusion.
"If Great Qin wanted to completely conquer Baiyue, it would not use force to conquer it, because the Yue people are different from the people of the Central Plains. The tougher they are, the more they will resist. Therefore, this is why Great Qin has not used force to conquer Baiyue. Reasons for all countries!”
"Doctor Kuntu mean that the Qin Dynasty will use peaceful means to solve the problems of the Baiyue countries?"
"You finally got the point."
Kuntu glanced at Fang Tai with a smile, stroked his beard and said, "The main purpose of our mission to Da Qin this time is to express South Vietnam's goodwill, but we cannot abandon our country and must use external forces to resist Da Qin with us. "
"With external help?"
Mrs. Fang seemed to understand: "Dr. Kuntu, do you want to use Minyue?"
"Minyue and us are at odds with each other. We cannot allow Minyue to be destroyed, and it is impossible for Minyue to sit back and watch our country subjugate."
Kun Tu nodded and said: "The king has long been interested in restoring relations with Wu Zhu, and this is a good opportunity."
"My father is really wise. Before Da Qin takes action against us, he has already begun to make plans to guard against the Qin people."
Fang Tai sighed with a smile.
"That's right, otherwise how could your Majesty be the King of Yue who is most like our ancestor Gou Jian!"
"Hehehe"
When the envoys heard this, they smiled knowingly.
At this time, a voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Second Prince Qi, Princess Yingluo is here to visit. May I ask if you can meet her?"
Cherry blossoms falling?
Princess Yingluo comes to see me?
Fang Tai was taken aback. She couldn't help but stood up in surprise and said hurriedly, "See you! See you! I'll be right there!"
After saying that, he was ready to leave everyone behind and rush out of the room.
At this moment, Kuntu shouted to him quickly: "Second Prince, wait!"
"Um?"
Fang Tai paused and asked with some confusion: "Doctor Kuntu, what else can I do?"
"Princess Yingluo and Young Master Hao."
"Hmph! The cherry blossoms were originally mine!"
Before Kuntu could finish his words, Fang Tai interrupted him with an unhappy expression, shocking all the envoys.
However, before they could react, Fang Tai rushed out of the room and ran towards Yingluo.
"Why--!"
When Kun Tu saw this, he sighed helplessly.
In order to deceive him into coming to the Qin Dynasty as a hostage, the King of Nanyue did everything possible. He even lied that he proposed to Wu Zhu and that it was Ying Luo who was forcibly summoned by the Qin Dynasty and asked him to come to the Qin Dynasty to protect Ying Luo.
Unexpectedly, he actually believed it and stopped fighting for the throne.
What a crime! !
"Ah Qiu——"
Zhao Hao stood under the eaves, wearing a thick cashmere cloak, but sneezed loudly.
Less than half an hour after returning from the stadium, it started to drizzle.
The rain in the south made him happy and sad.
The good news is that on rainy days, I can sleep in.
What's sad is that the First Emperor's father is standing next to him, and he is looking at him with disgust.
"Father, I know I have grown taller, but you don't have to stand next to me to highlight your father's stature, right?"
Zhao Hao rubbed his nose and complained helplessly.
Ying Zheng snorted and ignored him. He just put his hands behind his back and looked at the rain curtain in front of him.
About half an hour later, Tang Sui came from a distance and saluted respectfully: "Your Majesty, there is urgent news from Xianyang!"
"explain."
"this"
Tang Sui hesitated for a moment, glanced at Zhao Hao, and reported truthfully:
"Your Majesty, the old prime minister Wang Wan has voluntarily resigned from his position as minister of state supervision. The imperial censor Feng Jie, the left prime minister Feng Quji, the court lieutenant Li Si, and the doctor Ling Meng Yi will discuss state affairs together!"
"Ah!"
Ying Zheng snorted, as if he had expected it, and then asked: "Is there more?"
"Also, they discussed and decided to send envoys to the South China Sea to welcome His Majesty back!"
"Oh? They already know about my situation?"
"I don't know this veteran, but according to my inference, I may have the intention to test His Majesty's safety!"
Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes, that makes sense."
"in addition."
Tang Sui was about to speak but stopped.
Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly: "Is there anything else?"
"Your Majesty, the situation in the north seems a little not good," Tang Sui said with cupped hands.
"Um?"
Ying Zheng was stunned and couldn't help but look at Zhao Hao subconsciously.
Zhao Hao's eyes narrowed and he said in a deep voice: "Did Mo Dun make another move?"
"no."
Tang Sui shook his head and said: "It has been snowing heavily in the north recently, and many major transportation routes have been blocked by the heavy snow. I am worried that there will be snow disasters in the north. Moreover, because of your majesty's light corvee and low taxes, many people who built the Great Wall in the north have The servants have already returned home on their rotation. The surplus food that was originally enough for a family of two is now very likely to not be enough for a family of four, if there is another snowstorm."
Before he finished speaking, Ying Zheng and Zhao Hao knew what he wanted to say.
After a moment of silence, Zhao Hao said thoughtfully: "The formation of a snow disaster is not that easy, but in order to nip it in the bud, you still have to prepare in advance!"
"What's your idea?" Ying Zheng asked with a frown.
"How about sending our food to the north first?"
"Then what should we do?"
"Borrow it!"
"Um?"
"Hey, I almost forgot to tell my father."
Zhao Hao said with a smile: "The rice grown in South Vietnam can be produced three times a year. If the food from there can be transported here, why do we need to worry about food?"
"So, you have already thought of a way to let them borrow food?" Ying Zheng asked.
Zhao Hao said confidently: "I, the Heavenly Kingdom, need to think of other ways to lend them food? Just ask!"
"hehe."
Ying Zheng smiled, then suddenly remembered something, and said seriously: "Since you know that South Vietnam has three-season rice, why didn't you tell me earlier? Our Central Plains are short of such grains!"
Zhao Hao smiled bitterly when he heard this, shook his head and said: "Father, you misunderstood. It's not that I won't tell you, but it's useless to tell you. The Central Plains is thousands of miles away from South Vietnam, and the climate and environment are very different. Even if we bring the three-season rice back to the Central Plains, It’s also impossible to produce food in three seasons, at most two!”
"Ah? This"
Ying Zheng was embarrassed for a moment, then frowned and said, "Even if we only harvest two crops every year, the total output will exceed that of Guanzhong rice."
"I know this." Zhao Hao smiled: "Because there are many more places to grow rice in Guanzhong than in South Vietnam."
"Since you know it, why don't you promote it?"
“Why would I promote the lesser one when there are better options?”
"Does this mean you have better food seeds?"
Ying Zheng was a little surprised at first, but then he quickly reacted and said in a funny tone: "That's right, you can even give away magical things like potatoes to others at will. Of course you don't like the two crops of rice every year!"
"Is the father mocking his son?"
"What do you think?"
"Humph, I think so!"
Zhao Hao snorted in dissatisfaction, then hugged the cloak tightly and curled his lips and said: "I have a high-yielding grain in my hand, called hybrid rice. It can also be harvested for three crops, but the yield is far higher than the current three-crop rice!"
"oh?"
When Ying Zheng heard this, he immediately became interested: "What is the yield per mu of this hybrid rice?"
Zhao Hao thought for a while and said, "It can produce almost four thousand kilograms!"
"Only four thousand pounds?"
Ying Zheng frowned in disappointment.
Having experienced the potato yield of several thousand kilograms per mu, he was not much shocked by the hybrid rice yielding four thousand kilograms per mu.
Seemingly seeing through Ying Zheng's thoughts, Zhao Hao smiled and explained:
"Father, although the yield of four thousand kilograms of rice is not as high as that of potatoes, potatoes cannot be used as a source of food for a long time, but hybrid rice can!"
"why is that?"
"Because the storage period of potatoes is relatively short, you cannot eat them once they have sprouted. Also, the yield of potatoes will decrease year by year, and they will not be able to produce high yields for a long time. Compared with potatoes, rice, as a staple food, has more long-term significance!"
"I see."
Ying Zheng nodded suddenly, and then asked: "How long will it take to promote this hybrid rice in South Vietnam?"
"Two years!"
Zhao Hao stretched out his finger and gave an answer he had calculated earlier.
"Two years? Is it a little longer?"
Ying Zheng asked with some dissatisfaction.
Perhaps because the hope of immortality is slim, he cherishes the time now more and more, and his personality has become a little impatient. He even feels that two years is a long time.
However, Zhao Hao did not laugh at him, but patiently explained to him: "Actually, two years is not long, and the two years I am talking about are not promoting in South Vietnam, but the entire Baiyue!"
"Do you think it will take two years to build a huge granary comparable to Bashu?"
"this"
Ying Zheng reacted and immediately smiled: "That's good! That's good!"
After saying that, he turned to look at Tang Sui: "Then do as my son said, find a way to transport our food to the north, and tell Meng Tian and Fusu to stick to the northern border and not move rashly!"
"Yes, I obey my orders!"
Tang Sui bowed respectfully, then turned and left the courtyard.
Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "Do you think they will take action against Fusu?"
"The eldest brother is the most powerful contender for the throne. If they don't help him ascend the throne, they will kill him!"
"They dare!"
Ying Zheng's face darkened.
"Father, why do you need to be angry?"
Zhao Hao smiled and shook his head, and said in an old-fashioned manner: "As the son of the First Emperor, you must be mentally prepared to go through all kinds of hardships. This is called if you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight!"
"Um?"
Ying Zheng chewed on this sentence and suddenly felt it made sense.
But he wasn't going to ask where Zhao Hao learned it.
Anyway, the 'dream man' told him to ask.
"But, I don't understand something. Considering how much I value you, if they want to kill you, they should kill you first. Why would they target your eldest brother?"
Hearing this, Zhao Hao glanced at Ying Zheng resentfully, as if he was an abandoned ignorant girl, and lamented: "Father, do you really want me to be killed?"
"hehe."
Ying Zheng smiled noncommittally, and then left the courtyard pretending to be nonchalant.
