I’m The King Chapter 1105: :East and West (98)
"Know Your Majesty!" This is the second time for Tan Feng to step into the Black Ice Terrace. The last time was when King Qin Wulie summoned him. The inside of the platform has changed a lot. Compared to the time when King Qin Wulie reigned, the black palace was empty, but now the inside of the palace is filled with layers of curtains, exotic woods, soft couch with incense, Everything is available.
"Get up, Tan Feng, you are from the north. You have been in the south for so long, but you are still used to it?" Yingying, the current king of Qin Wei, looked at Tan Feng in front of him and said with a smile.
"Weichen leads troops. Wherever he goes, he can quickly adapt to the local environment. The north has the advantages of the north, and the south has the advantages of the south. Each is good at its own field, and it depends on how the individual treats him!" Tan Fengdao.
"Well said!" Ying Ying clapped her hands and laughed, "Just get used to it. You are a talent that your father told you to reuse before your death. The lonely king will not forget this."
"The former king really praised me too much." Tan Feng lowered his head and said humbly.
"Father respects you, but Tan Feng, you also know that both you and Zhou Yu suddenly ascended to the sky in Qin Kingdom. Nothing happened, but the lonely king has just come to power, but he doesn't have the ability of his father to keep his promises, so he can't take care of you all the time like his father. These days, there are already many people I made noise about the two of you at the court meeting." Yingying said.
"Your Majesty is troubled. I will do my best to serve Daqin." Tan Feng said in a low voice.
"Well, it's best for you to understand this point. If you can make great contributions to the state of Qin, then naturally no one will gossip. Now there is basically no possibility of conflict between us and the state of Chu. The chief assistant of the state of Chu, Huang Xie also sent envoys secretly to discuss with us how to deal with Han together. Therefore, there is no need for us to gather so many troops on the border of Qin and Chu. I am going to transfer you to Han to station. Where are you stationed now? The northern field army group of the Han army, Xu Yuan, you must know, is completely a war madman. Although we signed a peace agreement with the Han country, the provocations of the Han army there are happening every day. The current guards should deal with it. Ineffective, I hope you can go there and save some of the situation.”
"Your servant understands!" Tan Feng nodded. "Large-scale wars and Han will not be able to fight for the time being, but even if it is a small-scale confrontation, we must not lose face, and we must not let our opponents underestimate our Daqin."
"Well said!" Ying Ying nodded with satisfaction, "This is the first, and the second, as you know, the method of the Han army to conquer Kangping City this time is really too amazing. Now in Chu State, Surprisingly, it was spread that this was God’s punishment to Chu State, saying that it was God’s preference for Han State’s lofty heights, so God’s punishment was sent down, which made the people of Chu State panic, and Huang Xie’s head was in a state of panic.”
"It's ridiculous, what kind of divine punishment? This is just another powerful weapon that the Han State has created. You know, Your Majesty, that the Han State has always been very powerful in these strange skills. This is just It’s just another weapon.”
"Whether it's God's punishment or a powerful weapon, if the Han army uses it against us, how will we respond?" Yingying asked.
Tan Feng fell silent, and said for a while: "Now we can't deal with it."
"That's right, so after you go to Han, there is another thing to do, which is to find out the ins and outs of this weapon and how it was made. If Han has such a weapon of mass destruction, But we don’t, so how can we fight wars in the future and how can we compete with them?” Yingying said: “I originally asked Heibingtai Zhong to leave to handle this matter, but Heibingtai was suppressed so badly in Han that it was impossible for us to compete with them.” Unable to raise his head, Zhong Li told me that when you left Yan Kingdom, you hid a group of Yan Lingwei's confidantes, can you still control these people now?"
"It's all under control." Tan Feng said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will definitely do this well."
"Okay, after this matter is done, I will promote you as Lord Marquis. In our state of Qin, it is not like the lofty and distant Han Kingdom. Lord Marquis is just a false title, but in our country, it is a real title." Yes." Ying Ying laughed.
"Thank you, my lord, I will definitely complete this task."
After coming out of the palace, Tan Kang had already led his horse and waited outside the palace. Tan Feng's house in Xianyang was not big, and it only lived in his mother, his wife Liao Liao and a few guards.
Having not returned to Xianyang for more than half a year, walking on the streets of Xianyang, Tan Feng suddenly found that compared with the scene when he left, Xianyang is now much more prosperous. Both sides are also full of stalls, and various items are piled up in the shop.
"The war is over, sure enough everything is getting better!" Tan Feng looked at a cloth shop by the street, got off his horse, and said to Tan Kang: "Let's go, I haven't been back for a long time, as a son, I have to do my best As a filial piety, go buy some good cloth and take it home to add some new clothes to the old lady. And those guards who stay at home should also get new clothes.”
"The general is sympathetic to his servants!" Tan Kang said with a smile.
The two walked into the shop, but the owner of the shop was smart. Although Tan Feng was wearing casual clothes and had nothing special on him, Tan Kang, who was following Tan Feng, had a saber on his waist. It is not easy to walk around with a knife, especially after experiencing the prince's rebellion.
"Guest officer, please come inside, please come inside." The boss greeted him graciously.
"Boss, you have a very rich source of goods here. These many patterns and colors are not very common before?" Tan Feng looked at the rolls of cloth on the counter with a smile.
"That's right, these goods are all from the Han Dynasty. Good luck for the customer. This is a batch of new goods that just came in yesterday. I'll put them on the counter after sorting them out today!" said the boss. .
"Goods from the Han Dynasty?" Tan Feng frowned slightly.
"That's right, I came from the Han Kingdom, don't tell me, guest officer, the cloth from the Han Kingdom is softer, stronger, and more beautiful than our own, and it has a variety of patterns and pure colors. Compared with our country's cloth, it is much better, and now in Xianyang City, basically no country's cloth is sold." The boss introduced on the side.
Tan Feng's heart skipped a beat, "This cloth is really good, but the price must not be cheap. You don't sell cloth from your own country, so how can ordinary people afford the good cloth from Han?"
"Look at what you said, officer, you just came back from another place, right?"
"I just came back from the South."
"Oh, it's no wonder that the guest officer doesn't know, this cloth is cheaper than the domestic cloth we used to sell!" The boss smiled.
"What? It's even cheaper? How is this possible?" Tan Kang, who was on the side, made a fuss.
Tan Feng glared at Tan Kang, "Boss, you need one for each of the cloths on the counter, and send them to Tan Mansion, Hengdianzi Hutong, Xicheng, Tan Kang, pay."
"Thank you for your patronage!" As soon as he heard that he wanted one, the boss suddenly burst into laughter. Dare is still a big deal.
Out of the cloth shop, Tan Feng didn't get on his horse and left, but walked forward with his horse. After walking for a while, he walked straight into a grocery store.
"Guest officer, what do you want?" The store owner smiled, "But there are Chinese goods that just came in, which are good and cheap."
Tan Feng stared at a bag of salt in the corner of the grocery store, "Boss, this salt doesn't seem to be produced by us in Daqin?"
"The guest officer has good eyesight. Who in Xianyang still uses the salt of his own country now, look!" There is no sand mixed in, but the price is the same as our previous salt price. As soon as this Han salt is on the market, even if the price of our own salt in Xianyang has been reduced, no one wants it! Now Xianyang can no longer buy our own salt. Already."
Tan Feng took a deep breath, how could even something like salt allow Han Guo to come in? When he walked out of this grocery store, Tan Kang saw a bag of Han salt in Tan Feng's hand, "General, You, what do you buy salt for?"
"Tan Kang, you go home and tell the old lady and the lady that I'm back, and now I'm going to the chief assistant." Tan Feng said in a deep voice.
Fan Sui received the general who had just returned from the south with a smile on his face. Now there are many dissatisfaction in the court about the fact that Tan Feng and Zhou Yu are leading the army of the Qin State, but Fan Sui doesn't take it seriously. I am not a native of Qin, but he fully recognizes the abilities of Tan Feng and Zhou Yu.
"General Tan just came out of the palace, I thought you would come home to recuperate for a few days before coming to me to hand over some official duties? Why did you come here so soon?" Fan Sui said. "Sit, Please sit down!"
Tan Feng put the freshly bought Han salt in front of Fan Sui.
"Why, General Tan is going to give me a present?" Fan Sui laughed and opened the paper bag, looking at the snowflake silver inside, he couldn't help being startled, "General Tan, what is the meaning of this?"
"Fan Xiang, after I left the palace today, I wandered the streets casually. What I saw and heard was shocking. Our shops are full of goods from the Han people. Even salt, which is related to the national economy and the people's livelihood, is not sold. Let Han goods monopolize, others don't understand what it means, I don't believe in Fan Xiang, and I don't understand!"
Fan Sui smiled, stretched out his hand to fiddle with the snow-white salt flowers: "Is this good?"
"Of course it is good."
"Then do you think the price of this product should be higher than our own production?"
"Naturally, but his current price is only the same as our salt, which will drive our salt to nowhere." Tan Feng said: "Fan Xiang, this is not a small matter."
Fan Sui snorted coldly: "Since the price of salt is bound to be higher than ours, why is it lower? Not to mention the cost of the salt itself, how much it would cost just to transport it over thousands of miles Freight costs? The Han people are making a lot of money, do you think they can last? This is something that was negotiated in the peace agreement. If the Han people do this, I’m afraid we’ll turn our backs. Once they turn their backs, they’ll have an excuse, right? We But bear with it, I want to see, how long can the Han people last?" (to be continued)
