Molested Zulong at the beginning

"Snapped."

After shooting the last arrow, the longbow in Xiang Yu's hand was directly broken by her.

She looked at the broken longbow, and threw it aside with some disdain, and hummed softly: "After all, this bow is still too light, can't I exert my strength at all?"

If she had just said this, others must have felt that Xiang Yu was boasting.

But now, looking at the miraculous scene in front of them, everyone felt their mouths dry for a while, unable to speak a word for a long time.

For a while, the surroundings were silent.

Xiang Yu stood quietly in front of the hall, his black hair fluttering in the wind, his white brocade robe made a hunting sound, his heroic figure was like an insurmountable mountain.

The generals in the world can only look up to it forever, but they will never be able to touch it.

Chapter 380: The Angry Sister-in-Law

Bai Su looked at the envoy's widened eyes with disbelief, and said with a smile, "What do the envoys think of my Da Xia's archery skills, do you have the qualifications to give me some pointers?"

Ye Na's face suddenly turned pale, and she forced a smile and said: "Big Xia is worthy of being the country of the state, such archery is unparalleled in the world, we are ashamed of ourselves."

Although she was very unwilling in her heart, but faced with such a huge gap, she could only salute her chest and admit defeat.

Bai Su couldn't help smiling and said, "The envoy is polite."

And the rest of the foreign envoys were already dumbfounded.

Not only was he shocked by the prosperity of Xianyang, but also his erudite literary talent and his arrogance to the world, all of which showed the incomparable strength of a big country.

They had to admit that Da Xia's status as the suzerain country was genuine.

Not only is their military strength crushed, but even their culture, economy, and bravery of soldiers are far above their countries.

Sure enough, the only country in the world that can be called a hegemon is the Central Plains.

After the competition was over, Bai Su invited all the envoys to stay for the banquet.

None of these envoys refused. After all, after seeing the boss showing off his muscles and showing his reliability as a thigh, everyone wanted to use the opportunity of the banquet to tighten their relationship with Daxia.

After all, if there are conflicts and conflicts between small countries in the future, they can also come to Xianyang to ask their father to come forward to support them.

After tightening the relationship, you can also send envoys to the Central Plains every year to learn Hanzi, wear Han clothes, and learn the etiquette and system of the Central Plains, so that you can become strong like Daxia.

No matter how you look at it, it is a profitable business.

A group of foreign envoys looked at each other in blank dismay, and headed towards the banquet under the leadership of court officials.

The entrance of the main hall.

Bai Su bowed his hands to Xiang Yu, and said with a smile, "Thank you, General Xiang, for your help."

Xiang Yu glanced at him, and immediately said: "I just don't want these foreign countries to underestimate me in the Central Plains, but you... take this opportunity to gain prestige, you must have some plans?"

Bai Su smiled and said, "As expected of General Xiang, he really understands me. I mainly want to formulate trade rules."

"Trade rules?"

Xiang Yu's slender black eyebrows raised slightly, and a trace of doubt appeared on his fair and pretty face.

She didn't quite understand it. Isn't it just businessmen from the two countries doing business? Such a trivial matter, why spend so much thought?

Bai Su chuckled, and explained: "General Xiang doesn't know something, this trade is sometimes more useful than the sword in his hand."

"My Great Xia uses force to frighten the nations. Naturally, these small foreign countries cannot bear the thought of becoming an enemy of our Central Plains, but one day, I am afraid that Great Xia will want to designate the country as a county and send officials from the Central Plains to directly govern it."

"It is inevitable that these small foreign countries will feel dissatisfied, and they will unite to resist the Great Xia. Although they cannot cause any damage to the imperial court with their national strength, the casualties are inevitable."

"Especially when the Central Plains has just been unified, many places need to spend a lot of manpower and material resources. The frontier can be stable, so it is better to be more stable."

After listening to Bai Su's words, Xiang Yu nodded slightly.

As the saying goes, if you forget the battle, you will be in danger, and if you are willing to fight, you will die. She also understands these truths.

After all, that's how she was dragged down step by step by Bai Su back then.

Bai Su continued: "Trade is a very good way. The porcelain, silk, tea, and even the abundant cotton we have in the Central Plains, and the cane sugar that Chu is going to cultivate in the near future are all solid currencies. .”

"No matter where it is shipped, the supply is in short supply. Nobles and merchants everywhere will crazily loot it. It is no different from gold and silver."

"More importantly, we have a complete monopoly on these things, which means that the Central Plains is the source of trade for all countries in the world. General Xiang, do you know what this means?"

Xiang Yu pondered for a moment, then shook his head in doubt.

She couldn't help asking: "Isn't it just selling things in exchange for a lot of copper coins, gold, and silver?"

Bai Su smiled mysteriously: "That's just the beginning. My real goal is to build a trading system centered on Da Xia's banknotes, based on these hard currencies and supplemented by gold, silver, and copper coins."

"In the future, no matter who wants to buy goods from the Central Plains, they need to exchange copper coins, silver, and gold for treasure notes issued by our bank, and use the treasure notes to buy porcelain, tea and other commodities."

"In this way, paper that was originally worthless has the same status as gold, silver, and copper coins. We can continue to print blank paper and exchange it for cattle, sheep, livestock, spices, and fine wines from other countries..."

"When Daxia's treasured banknotes gradually become the world's recognized currency and are circulated among countries, we can easily control the rise and fall of a country with a small thought, and save decades of frugality. Use the accumulated capital to search for it."

"Using the country of all nations to support the people of Zhongyuan, General Xiang, what do you think of this trade treaty?"

Xiang Yu was a little absent-minded, his almond eyes widened in a daze.

She gasped, and looked at Bai Su with monster-like eyes: "You...you are so vicious, even if the Xiongnu, a group of barbarians, went south to plunder, it was just to rob a few counties It’s just property, but you want to snatch the kingdom of all nations in one breath, decades of accumulation.”

"The promised Central Plains is a state of benevolence and righteousness. Convince people with virtue. Compared with you, those bandits and bandits are as pure as a piece of white paper."

Bai Su scratched his cheek with his fingers, and sighed a little self-deprecatingly: "This official word is two words, one thing is said on the surface, and the other is behind the scenes. What is said can't be taken as the truth."

Xiang Yu looked at Bai Su who looked a little tired, and a complex look appeared in his beautiful eyes.

She couldn't help but secretly said in her heart: "In terms of beating the enemy and breaking the formation, you are far behind me, but in terms of long-term vision, if you use the world as a chessboard and countries as pawns, I am far behind you, and it is not wrong to lose in your hands." what."

It's getting dark.

In the main hall, the lights are bright.

Gong'e, dressed in a gorgeous dress, danced in the hall, and the luthier plucked the strings, and there were bursts of moving voices.

The seats in the main hall were filled with envoys from foreign countries. Some envoys who came for the first time kept exclaiming as if they had never seen the world before.

"My God, is this plate made by gods? It's so smooth and delicate, and there are lifelike patterns of birds and animals on it, it's incredible."

"You have never seen the world at first glance. What kind of gods made it? This is Daxia's porcelain, called blue and white porcelain, and it is the best among utensils."

"Don't just stare at the plate, look at the white things in the small plate. I thought it was salt at first, but after I tasted it, I found it was so sweet that I couldn't stop it."

"Yes, it's so sweet."

"There are such strange things in the world, no wonder Daxia is so prosperous and prosperous, it is simply a paradise on earth."

"..."

Fu Su and Bai Su stood at the entrance of the main hall together, and said in a low voice: "You rascal, it's a good way, first take advantage of the foreign provocation, take advantage of the opportunity to kill chickens to show the monkeys' prestige, and then give these foreign envoys, Showcasing the exquisite treasures of the Central Plains.

"This made them lose their values, their courage completely collapsed, they were completely conquered, and they felt awe of the powerful Central Plains, and they no longer dared to have any dissent."

Bai Su couldn't help but smiled: "Your Highness is also responsible for this. If it wasn't for His Highness assisting Hu Yan to stabilize the government, there would be no room for me to play today."

Fu Su's fair and pretty face blushed slightly, and couldn't help but spat lightly: "Glib guy, don't think that saying something nice can change my opinion of you."

Bai Su scratched his cheek, and couldn't help muttering: "You are a smooth-tongued person, Your Highness?"

Fu Su couldn't help being stunned, she was always dignified, when did she become glib.

But she saw that Bai Su was looking at her strangely, more precisely at her skirt.

Fu Su was taken aback for a moment, and after a moment of contemplation, he couldn't help thinking of the memory that he was hiding in the closet yesterday and his skirt was accidentally soaked, and then he thought of what Bai Su said just now, with two official words.

Her fair and pretty face suddenly turned red as if on fire, and glared at Bai Su in embarrassment: "You... you scoundrel, you really peeked at it, I... I'll kill you."

Bai Su said inwardly that he was not good, and accidentally slipped his tongue.

Seeing Fu Suyin clenched his teeth and lifted the hem of his skirt, he wished to kick him to death.

Bai Su quickly ran into the hall, avoiding his sister-in-law's angry pursuit.

During the banquet, a group of envoys were drinking and discussing, seeing Bai Su who suddenly walked in, they all put down the wine cups in their hands, and went to greet him.

"Master Bai."

Fu Su looked at Bai Su who was surrounded by envoys and stars, she gritted her teeth for a while, feeling a little helpless.

There are too many outsiders right now, and she doesn't want to be angry, so she can only write down this account temporarily, and after everything is over, she will take care of this scoundrel.

If you want to silence this guy who knows too much.

Chapter 380 Nine Nations

Bai Su glanced at him, his expressionless face in the distance, staring straight at Fusu himself.

His eyelids twitched involuntarily, and then coughed lightly: "Sorry for keeping the envoys waiting for so long."

As he said that, he kindly pulled the envoy of Loulan, Xiao Li's white hand, and let her sit beside him, just blocking Fu Su's knife-like gaze.

Xiao Li looked at the man he had always longed for, and now he kindly held his hand,

She felt the big hand exuding scorching temperature, and her fair and pretty face couldn't help but a shy blush, and said in a low voice: "My...Your Excellency, you are welcome."

"Yeah, we just sat down not long ago."

"My lord, please sit down..."

After knowing Bai Su's identity, the envoy next to him saw that Daliang Zao was so polite, so he hurriedly replied.

However, they didn't know at all that the reason why Bai Su was so courteous was because he offended Fu Su, so he hurriedly tightened the relationship with all the envoys, so that the sister-in-law would not have a chance to do anything.

Bai Su didn't talk nonsense, glanced at the people in the hall, coughed lightly and said, "Since everyone is due, let's start the banquet."

Seeing that all the foreign guests were seated one after another, Fu Su had no choice but to take Bai Su, a rascal, for a short time, so she gave him a hard look, then lifted her skirt, turned and left.

As the banquet began, these ladies began to serve dishes and pour wine.

For example, Xiaoli, the Hun Shanyu Maodun, they were old acquaintances with Bai Su, and they often sent envoys, caravans to and from the Central Plains, but they were not surprised.

And those foreign envoys who came to Xianyang for the first time were almost unstoppable throughout the whole process.

Whether it's the spices used in the dishes, the cumin sprinkled on the barbecue, or the sucrose in the dishes, the spicy taste is like swallowing a fire-like white wine, which opened their eyes.

After drinking for three rounds.

Bai Su slowly put down the wine cup in his hand, he glanced at the people present, and said with a smile: "The envoys have come from a long way, and they have lived in Xianyang City for a while, and they must have paid attention to the merchants of Daxia. , I have already made a plan, and I happen to have something related to trade, so I will discuss it with you."

After his words fell, the whole hall fell silent instantly.

After a while, someone tentatively said, "I don't know what your lord means..."

The other envoys also pricked up their ears.

Especially the envoy from Anxi Kingdom, Ye Na, looked at Bai Su seriously, waiting for his answer.

After all, there is nothing to say about the things in the Central Plains, whether it is silky silk, exquisite porcelain, fragrant tea, or sweet sucrose.

Everything excites her.

These are all priceless treasures. As long as they can be brought back to the country, they can be easily earned back from nobles and wealthy merchants at ten or a hundred times higher prices.

It can be said that as long as a trade relationship can be established with Daxia, and a stable caravan is dispatched every year to communicate between the two countries, a large amount of money can be earned for the treasury.

It is even possible to resell the goods from the Central Plains to Rome, and the Anxi Kingdom can make a steady profit as a second-tier dealer.

It can not only weaken the national power of Rome, but also strengthen the national power of Parthia.

Is there a better deal in the world than this?

After pondering for a moment, Bai Su said, "Commercial trade is the current national policy of our Great Xia. If you want to buy goods from the Central Plains, it's naturally no problem, but in terms of transactions, you will encounter many problems."

Having trouble trading?

These envoys couldn't help being stunned, wondering what kind of medicine was sold in Baisu's gourd.

Bai Su continued to explain: "The currencies used in these countries are different. Some are gold coins, some are silver coins, and some are copper coins. Apart from the different content of the coins."

"Countries have different standards for weight and texture, so mutual trade will be a very troublesome thing."

Ye Na was stunned for a moment, thought about it carefully, and found that it was really the same as what Bai Su said.

For example, the currency in the Central Plains is mainly copper coins, which pay attention to the roundness of the sky and the place.

Therefore, the copper coins are mainly in the original shape, with a square hole in the middle, which is convenient for stringing money with a rope. A copper coin is about three centimeters.
