Great Qin Emperor

Chapter 419 The Beauty of the Barbarians (Part [-])

"I have seen my father!" Fusu saluted Qin Shihuang.

Qin Shihuang, who was standing by the door, grabbed Fusu and said with a smile: "Fusu is excused. Fusu, you have a good talk, come on, sit down, and talk to Father Huang." Qin Shihuang pulled Fusu to sit down. down.

Fu Su asked a little curiously: "It was a good talk, how did Emperor Father know?"

Qin Shihuang chuckled and said, "It was Mr. Zhou and Chen Ping who told Father."

Fu Su was even more surprised, and said: "Mr. Zhou and Chen Ping went back to the mansion directly after talking with Erchen, and Erchen rushed over directly. I didn't see them, so they didn't run in front of Erchen?"

Qin Shihuang lovingly pinched Fusu's nose lightly, and said: "Silly boy! Mr. Zhou and Chen Ping naturally didn't come to see the father, but if they didn't come, it just means that you have a good talk." See Glancing at Fusu who still didn't quite understand, he said with a smile: "Fusu, think about it, if the talk goes badly, Mr. Zhou and Chen Ping still have a reason why they shouldn't come with you to meet Emperor Father? Could it be that they Don't be afraid that the father will be angry and ask you to blame, at least they have to come to help you excuse. They didn't come, which means that you have a good talk, a good talk. Good, good!"

After saying a few good words in a row, the joy was beyond words.This is Fusu's first time dealing with state affairs, and he can talk very well, which shows that he has good talents, and his hard work has not been in vain. Can Qin Shihuang be unhappy?Don't talk about Qin Shihuang, any father is very happy about the achievements of his children, it's human nature!
Fusu couldn't help admiring Qin Shihuang's insight, and said humbly: "This is all the result of my father's cultivation. If there is no father's careful arrangement, my son would not be where he is today."

Qin Shihuang caressed Fusu's forehead lovingly, and said: "Fusu, you can remember the goodness of the father, the father is happy, happy in the heart." The crystal tears rolled in the eyes, and they almost flowed down, and said: " I remember that my father caressed your forehead like this. It was many years ago. My father seemed to have returned to the past. I was so excited when I thought of my father becoming a father for the first time. Unexpectedly, in a blink of an eye, my father's Fusu has grown up and is capable, so the emperor will be relieved."

These words are very affectionate, Fusu also suppressed the tears, said: "The true love that the father has for the son, the son will never forget it."

Qin Shihuang hummed, and said with a solemn face: "You can have today not only because of the careful arrangement of the father, but also the hard work of Mr. Zhou. Don't forget this."

"Father and Emperor's teachings, I will keep them in mind, and I will never forget Mr. Zhou's kindness in teaching." Fu Su nodded and accepted the order.

Qin Shihuang changed the subject and said: "It's too far away, let's not talk about these things. Come, help Su, tell father the story."

Fusu responded, and said: "Father, according to your arrangement, I will go talk to Xu Luo. Just as my father expected, what the Xiongnu fear most is that Daqin and Donghu will join hands to deal with the Xiongnu. My son lied that Donghu sent envoys here Xianyang was discussing with Daqin how to deal with the Xiongnu, Xu Luo became frightened when he heard this, and asked Daqin to deal with the Huns together with the Huns."

Qin Shihuang analyzed: "For the Donghu and the Xiongnu, it is not they themselves that determine their life and death, but us, the father. Modun will not fail to see this, and he will definitely win Daqin's support at all costs, at least Only in exchange for Daqin's mutual non-help will he dare to act."

In history, Mao Dun destroyed Donghu because of the civil strife in China and he was unable to go north, so he dared to use force decisively.If the Qin Dynasty had not perished at that time, no matter how courageous Mao Dun was, he would not have dared to go without Huaxia's consent, God's will!
"Father Emperor Shengming!" Fusu reported the results of the negotiation, saying: "The Xiongnu first said that they would pay us [-] good horses every year. After hard work, they agreed to pay [-] horses every year."

Qin Shihuang nodded and said: "Five thousand horses, not bad, this is not a small amount. However, it is still not enough."

"What the father said is very true." Fusu agreed with Qin Shihuang's opinion, saying: "Other horses can be obtained through border trade. My minister has already negotiated with Xu Luo to start trade at the border. Daqin used tea, silk, Porcelain was traded with the Xiongnu. My son thought that the horses of the Xiongnu could be sold at a high price in the interior. If the imperial court secretly bought them, the merchants would definitely exchange them for the horses of the Xiongnu. In this way, the number of horses in China could increase. "

Qin Shihuang agreed: "It is true that we can get more horses in this way, but it will cost more money. However, it is difficult to get a large number of Xiongnu's horses otherwise. This is a good way.

"For the people of the Xiongnu, what they want most is the daily necessities such as tea, silk, and porcelain from Daqin. But for Mouton, what he wants most must be ironware and grain from Daqin. Did Suluo mention it? "

For Qin Shihuang's shrewdness, Fusu was sincerely convinced, and said: "Father, the emperor is wise! Su Luo mentioned that they not only want ironware, food, but also Chinese weapons."

"How did you answer?" Qin Shihuang asked.

Fusu replied: "My minister said that Daqin wishes the Xiongnu and Donghu to be reconciled forever. If we sell weapons to them, it will be tantamount to letting the grassland use swords again. There will be no peace, so my minister may not be sure. Xu Luo repeatedly asked, In the end, the ministers agreed to sell them some weapons, but only limited to the melee weapons such as knives and guns, bows and crossbows will not be sold to them."

Qin Shihuang laughed and said, "Fusu, did you think that Daqin confiscated a lot of weapons during the period of destroying the six kingdoms, these weapons were outdated and of little use to Daqin, and if they were sold to the Huns, they would turn them into treasures, so you agreed? "

Fu Su really thought so, and said: "Nothing can be hidden from Father."

"Father was thinking that these weapons are useless, they have to be melted and recast, but I didn't expect you to find a good deal, and it was handled well!" Qin Shihuang praised: "Grain, have you promised to sell them some?"

Historically, after Qin Shihuang unified the world, he confiscated many weapons. The weapons of the six countries each had their own standards, which were different from the standard weapons of Qin, and it was difficult to implement them in the army. In the end, Qin Shihuang decided to melt them down and recast them. This was an inevitable measure at that time. .It's a pity that later generations ridiculed Qin Shihuang's cruelty with this, and listed the "sale of Fengdi" as one of the tyranny, which is a pity!
Fu Su replied: "Go back to Emperor Father, and my minister agrees."

Qin Shihuang commented: "When the autumn is high and the grass is fat, the horses of the Huns can be fattened, and they can fight fierce and tough battles. Therefore, the time when the Huns' army is the strongest is in autumn, and other seasons are not so good. If you think about the army for a year Four seasons have strong combat power, so they have to use fine grains to feed the war horses. Mao Dun wants Huaxia's grain, which must be used to feed the horses. His attack will not be chosen in autumn, but at other times, so that Donghu is caught off guard.

"Fusu, do you want to sell some food to the Xiongnu first, and then cut it off after Maodun wiped out the Donghu, so that the Huns' combat power will decline, and it will return to autumn, and the threat to China will be reduced. ?”

"My son thinks exactly like this." Fu Su told the truth, "My son is bold, and I ask Father to forgive me."

Qin Shihuang patted Fusu on the shoulder and laughed heartily!
