Diqin Designer

Chapter 265 Despicable Qin People

The King of Xiou and the other leaders only hoped that Daqin could keep its distance from them, and that they could live in peace and contentment. Daqin would take its own Yangguan Road, while Xiou would cross its own single-plank bridge.

After learning the intention of the King of Xiou from the translator, Tu Sui said, "The Emperor sent us here to establish diplomatic relations with your country, to exchange what we have and what we need, so that both sides can be better off."

After hearing Tu Sui's words, some of the Xiou leaders showed a sneer on their faces.

Did the Qin people think they were stupid?

You actually want to deceive them with such nonsense!
It is indeed possible to exchange what they have with what they don't, but in order to make both sides better, would the Qin people be so kind as to let Xiou become better?
King Xiou looked at Tu Sui and said, "We appreciate the Emperor Qin's good intentions, but it is not necessary to establish diplomatic relations, exchange what we have, and make both sides better."

"Although we have a small territory and few people, we have everything we need, so there is no need for the Emperor Qin to worry."

Tu Sui had already expected this kind of reaction from King Xiou.

For an autistic country like Xiou, it is useless to tell it that the things of Qin are useful and the food of Qin is delicious.

Because they are intentionally rejecting it. The more you recommend it to them, the more alert they will be and the more they will reject it.

No matter how good your things are, we are self-sufficient and have food and clothing. Even if our life is a little harder than yours, we will not die without using your things, so why should we use them?

Moreover, you have put so much effort into recommending these things to us, you must have other intentions and are planning some bad things. What if I use your things and agree to your conditions, wouldn't I fall into your evil scheme and fall into the trap dug by you Qin people?

For a country that is not afraid of the Qin Dynasty, is isolated and vigilant, and does not want to communicate with the Qin Dynasty, if it were the Qin Dynasty in history, there would be no good way except to beat it up, but the Qin Dynasty today does.

You don't want to eat oil and salt, right? You don't want gold, right? You are wary of the Qin Dynasty, right? Then will you get sick? Do you want medicine to treat your illness?

Tu Sui said: "Your Majesty said 'all things are not missing', but in my opinion, that may not be the case. If there is medicine to cure cholera or malaria, I wonder if it is still missing?"

When Tu Sui's words were translated, King Xiou and all the leaders were shocked, and their eyes were all fixed on Tu Sui.

One of them even said to Tu Sui in Baiyue language: "Don't try to deceive us. Cholera and malaria are spread by the gods in the world. There is no cure at all."

Facing this person's question, Tu Sui simply replied: "You all think it is incurable, but it may not be incurable in the Qin Dynasty. There are countless good doctors in the Qin Dynasty, and they have found a way to treat cholera and malaria!"

Seeing Tu Sui's calm and confident attitude, King Xiou and the leaders became uneasy instead.

Did the Qin people really have a way to treat these two plagues?

Not to mention cholera, which generally does not occur often as long as water and food pollution are prevented. However, malaria does plague Xiou people. After all, the environment they live in makes it easy for them to be infected.

Even after years of fighting malaria, they have developed a set of methods to deal with malaria, but they only prevent malaria from occurring and tell them how to deal with it after it occurs, but they still cannot cure it.

If you get malaria, you will almost certainly die!

China was once one of the countries where malaria was most rampant, with the most serious malaria epidemics in Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan and Guizhou, and the territory of Xiou happened to be located in those areas.

Malaria was rampant in later generations until modern times when it was brought under control. It would be impossible for Xiou to control it at that time.

Therefore, when King Xiou and the other leaders heard Tu Sui say that Daqin could cure malaria, they reacted in shock and doubt.

King Xiou stared at Tu Sui and asked seriously, "Is there really a way to cure malaria? How can you prove it?" Tu Sui smiled and said, "Of course there is. As for how to prove it, there is a saying in my Great Qin that 'hearing is false, seeing is true'. There must be people in your country who have contracted malaria. You can let us treat them. As long as they are cured, it can be proved."

Tu Sui added: "In the eyes of the king and you all, malaria is an incurable disease. Those who get it will die. Why don't you let us treat it?"

After hearing what Tu Sui said, King Xiou and the other leaders could not help but believe it a little, thinking: The Qin envoy is so confident, could it be that the Qin people have really mastered the method of treating malaria and cholera?
But what the Qin envoy said is right. Whether it is true or not, can't we just let him wait and see?
King Xiou said: "Your Excellency's words are very true, but if this is true, why would the Qin Dynasty help us treat malaria?"

The leaders of Xiou also recovered from their surprise that the Qin people might really have a way to cure malaria.

The Qin people are definitely not good people. Just look at the six countries that were destroyed in the north. How could they be kind enough to help them treat malaria?
Delicious barbecue would not fall from the sky for no reason, and the Qin people could not be so kind.

Since the Qin people cannot have good intentions, they must have some plans against them!

But this time, King Xiou and the other leaders could no longer say no.

Because they may also get malaria. Even if they don’t, what about their relatives and tribesmen?
The Qin people accurately grasped their weak spot and threw out a bait that they could hardly refuse.

Tu Sui smiled and said, "I have just told the king that His Majesty the Emperor wants to establish diplomatic relations with your country, so that both sides can benefit from each other."

"The king and the other leaders probably don't believe that we have a method to treat malaria. How about we wait until we verify it before we talk?"

"Can!"

King Xiou nodded and said, "You must be tired after all the journey. I have arranged a place for you to rest. Please go and rest first."

Tu Sui knew that the King of Xiou wanted to send them away so that he could discuss matters with the leaders of the various Xiou tribes, so he followed the King of Xiou's wishes and withdrew with the delegation.

After the Qin envoys left the hall, the King of Xiou asked the leaders, "What do you think of what the Qin envoys said?"

The leader who had questioned Tu Sui said, "I still think the Qin people want to deceive us. How can malaria be cured? When our ancestors lived here, there was malaria. After so many years, there is still no cure for malaria. How could the Qin people have it?"

Another leader said: "I don't think the Qin people deceived us. If this is a lie, it can be easily seen through. If the Qin people are not stupid, they will not make up such a lie. I am more concerned about the Qin people's plot if this is true!"

This made everyone frown.

It is good news that there is a cure for malaria, which will save them from the scourge of malaria. But the bad news is that the treatment method is in the hands of the Qin people, and they will definitely not let them get it easily, and they will have to pay a corresponding price.

The leader added: "The Qin people will certainly use this as a threat to force us to comply with their plan. If we do not comply, they will not give us the malaria treatment method."

The damn Qin people were so despicable that they used such means to control them, but they couldn't say no.

After all, anyone living in this land could be infected with malaria.

There was silence in the hall.

After a long while, one of the leaders had a fierce light flashing in his eyes and proposed a solution.

"Why not capture these Qin people, torture them severely, and force them to hand over the secret recipe!"
