Sima Yi handed over his hand and said yes, but he had more speculations about Lu Bu's behavior. The current situation in Jin was stable, and Lu Bu was eager to make friends with the Parthian Empire, which had a grudge against the Kushan Empire. His intentions were worth pondering.

, but as a minister, when there is no explicit statement in the army, some things should be more cautious. Otherwise, if the monarch is afraid, the consequences will be more serious.

Sima Yi had been an official in Jin for many years, so he naturally understood the truth. Although Lu Bu usually had a generous attitude towards officials in the DPRK, no one was sure whether something would happen.

Being cautious is the way to be an official. On this point, Sima Yi agreed with Jia Xu's way of being an official.

After Sima Yi received Lu Bu's order to leave the palace, he immediately began to prepare for his mission to the Parthian Empire. This mission was carried out secretly, and his identity must not be exposed. Otherwise, after arriving in the Kushan Empire,

There will be more troubles. Sima Yi does not want to be detained by the Kushan Empire because of his identity being exposed.

Currently, there are many merchants from Jin State going to Kushan for business. Sima Yi set his sights on these caravans. By entering Kushan through caravans, he can hide his identity well. After arriving in the Parthian Empire, the rest will not be Kushan.

It can be controlled in many aspects.

The Kushan Empire was doing business with the Jin State, and there were a lot of merchants going back and forth. Entering the Kushan Empire through caravans would not attract more attention, and it would be a good way to hide one's identity.

The troops heading to Kushan mostly sold immortal jade, divine glass, Jin wine and other items. These goods were very popular after arriving in the Kushan Empire. There was no shortage of high-ranking officials and nobles in the Kushan Empire. They were very interested in these items.

Still quite yearning for it.

After the Jin State and Kuishang established relations, merchants from both sides interacted with each other to obtain more benefits for each other's countries.

Kushan also attaches great importance to the development of merchants, especially when they find that with the powerful Jin State, it is more important to develop more merchants.

After the Kushan merchants came to the Jin Kingdom, they were quite shocked by the strength of the Jin Kingdom. In the past, they thought that the Kushan Empire was the most powerful. But after coming to the Jin Kingdom, they understood that the Jin Kingdom

It is also a strong country.

It is good news for merchants that Kushan can make friends with Jin. In most cases, it is the merchants of Jin who take away more materials from Kushan. Who makes the things in the hands of Jin merchants more popular?

Welcome, even after Guishan merchants came to Jin, they mainly exchanged things such as divine glass, fairy love, etc.

This kind of business method is naturally what Lu Bu wants to see. If the merchants of the Kushan Empire knew about the amazing profits of Shenli and Xianlian that they yearned for, I don't know what they would think.

When merchants from both sides were interacting with each other, the materials in Chigu City and Guishan City were accumulated very quickly, and most of them were mainly rice grains.

The generals and soldiers of the army have a huge need for rice and food during the war. If this cannot be guaranteed, how can the generals and soldiers of the army win the battle against the enemy?

The faster the food and supplies are accumulated in Chigu City and Guishan City, the more beneficial it will be for the Jin army in future campaigns.

By then, with Chigu City and Guishan City as the support, the Jin army would not need to transport more supplies from Chang'an for the campaign.

This method is exactly what Lu Bu wants to see. Through the power of merchants, the Jin army can get more help when they go to war. When this method gradually stabilizes, when the Jin army goes to war in the future,

You don’t even need supplies from the country, this is the most important thing.

If you transport supplies from Chang'an to Guishan City or Chigu City, the consumption on the way is a huge sum, which makes the battle more difficult.

With the arrival of merchants, this situation will change greatly. Through their methods, merchants will accumulate more supplies for the Jin army and provide a more solid foundation for the Jin army's future campaigns.

Just as Sima Yi was preparing this matter, Yang Xiu came to Sima Yi's mansion.

Yang Xiu was also an official who entered the court through the imperial examination. However, after entering the court, Yang Xiu was not reused.

In terms of talent, Yang Xiu is definitely a talented person. However, Yang Xiu was always quite arrogant. Now, like Sima Yi, he also serves in the Ministry of Rites.

The difference is that Sima Yi has a good reputation in the Ministry of Rites, mainly because of Sima Yi's talent and ability, while Yang Xiu's reputation in the Ministry of Rites is more due to Yang Xiu's arrogance, but Yang Xiu has not changed his mind at all.

.

Doing things normally, I still go my own way.

Being able to enter the officialdom of the Jin State is a good start for Yang Xiu. He believes that with his talent, it is relatively easy to make a difference in the officialdom of the Jin State. What the Jin State needs is talents, and he is

The kind of talents Jin needs.

As long as given the opportunity, Yang Xiu has the confidence to reach a higher position.

The relationship between Sima Yi and Yang Xiu is still good.

After entering the mansion, Yang Xiu saw that the people in the mansion were a little busy and couldn't help but ask: Brother Zhongda, why are the servants in the mansion so busy? Could it be that Brother Zhongda is going to work elsewhere?

Sima Yi shook his head slightly and did not answer. Instead, he entered the room with Yang Xiu. In a crowded environment, if the news about his mission to the Parthian Empire was revealed, once it reached Lu Bu's ears, it would have a negative impact on Sima Yi's future plans.

In terms of development, there is no benefit at all.

The monarch naturally prefers his ministers to be stricter in speech.

After entering the room and taking a seat, Sima Yi placed drinks, melons and fruits on the table, and Sima Yi signaled his servants to leave the room.

It's so mysterious. Could it be that Brother Zhongda is planning something big? Yang Xiu smiled and asked.

Sima Yi said: It is indeed a big event. This matter cannot be spread to outsiders.

What Sima Yi said made Yang Xiu feel a little impatient and couldn't help but ask: Brother Zhongda, tell me quickly, I will never tell others.

Can Dezu dare to guarantee this? Sima Yi asked.

Yang Xiu solemnly said: A gentleman's words are hard to catch up with.

I have just received the order from the Holy Emperor, and I will go to the Parthian Empire. Sima Yi lowered his voice and said.

When Yang Xiu heard this, he went to the Parthian Empire with a surprised look on his face. He had never mentioned the friendship between the Jin Congress and the Parthian Empire before, and he did not even know the specific location of the Parthian Empire.

Some businessmen once went to the Parthian Empire. Sima Yi said.
