The top brass of the Jin State were very busy. After receiving Lu Bu's reception, Aldaban and Aluqi seemed to be more leisurely. In fact, not only Aldaban but also Aluqi were more concerned about these things. They were fighting against the Jin army.

At that time, the Kushan army ended in failure. Such a failure had a great impact on the entire Kushan army.

How to find out more secrets from the Jin Kingdom, it is best to obtain the manufacturing methods of the sharp weapons used by the Jin army in the battle, which is the most important.

As Lu Bu said before, after the Kushan side obtained the three-eyed gun, they immediately ordered the craftsmen to imitate it. Not to mention other things, just the imitation of the three-eyed gun made it difficult for the Kushan craftsmen.

If you want to control the three-eyed gun, you need to have ammunition. The production of these ammunition looks relatively simple, but it is not. First of all, the ammunition must be smooth and smooth. In this way, it can be released well. Otherwise

If so, even if it is counterfeited, it will be impossible to use it normally.

In terms of the level of craftsmen, Kushan has always considered itself to be not weak, but compared with the craftsmen of Jin, there is a big gap.

This made the senior officials of Guishan very depressed. They thought they were strong, but it turned out that they were inferior to Jin in all aspects.

Aluqi knew how difficult it was to go to the Jin Kingdom and obtain the method of making sharp weapons.

This is a secret related to the Jin army's battlefield. Even if the same thing is done to Guishang, he will definitely keep it secret.

The Jin State handed over the manufacturing methods of sharp weapons such as Continental Ball Carts to Kushan, and did not inform the Anxi side of the manufacturing methods of sharp weapons such as the three-eyed blunderbuss. This shows that the Jin army was wary of the Anxi side. This kind of thing is also

Extremely normal.

Parthian and Jin formed an alliance because they had common interests. It allowed Parthia to obtain the manufacturing methods of multiple weapons such as crossbow chariots, which would be of certain help to the Parthian army against the Kushan army. But what happened after the cooperation between the two parties ended.

The Jin State will definitely consider these issues. It can be seen from the past campaigns of the Jin Army that the Jin Army has an extremely cautious attitude towards war. Their strength and strategy broke out when they fought on the battlefield.

In terms of that, it's shocking.

The achievements made by the Jin army's soldiers on the battlefield are also shocking. In this way, it will be even more difficult to obtain benefits from the Jin army.

Alyzzi and Artaban have the same purpose, they both need to perform better in the battle.

The most anxious thing is actually the Kushan side. If they cannot achieve greater success in the confrontation, they will have bad situations when they fight against the Jin army in the future. The occurrence of such a situation will have a negative impact on the Kushan army.

For civilian officials and military generals, it would be a disaster.

Lu Bu led his lieutenants to fight on the battlefield, and was able to achieve great achievements in each battle, which is inseparable from the efforts of his lieutenants.

The Kushan army has their own pride, but the combat effectiveness they showed when they fought with the Jin army was not enough to affect the Jin army more. In this way, the Kushan army would not be able to fight against the Jin army.

, which is the weak side.

The weaker party is most likely to fail in a war, and the failure of the war will bring disaster to their country.

Aluqi also set his sights on important officials of the Jin State. Even if he cannot get the making methods of some sharp weapons, it is still possible if he can get the making methods of some other things, such as Xianlian, Shenli, and Jin Paper.

, Jinjiu, or cement road.

Ardaban could see the impact of cement roads on the development of a country, and Aluqi could naturally see it. If there could be such a road in Kushan, the Kushan army would be in trouble when facing a war.

, we can have a faster response. From the cities of Jin State, Aluqi could find that the tools for building roads also played a big role in building cities.

The moat outside Chang'an City not only gives people a sense of majesty, but also looks quite spectacular thanks to its cement repair.

After some inquiring, Aluqi and Aldaban set their sights on Mi Zhu, the Minister of Household Affairs.

Mi Zhu, the Minister of Household Affairs, is now responsible for the affairs of Jin merchants, which means that Mi Zhu can make the final decision on business matters.

It can be said that the existence of Mi Zhu had an important impact on the Jin State. It was unimaginable for ordinary people to benefit just from the merchants of the Jin State.

The officers and soldiers of the Jin State cannot fight on the battlefield without the support from the rear. This requires that the grain, grass and baggage in the rear must be kept up as soon as possible. Only in this way will the officers and soldiers of the army have greater strength when they fight on the battlefield.

possible.

No matter the monarch of either party, they attach great importance to the matter of food, grass and baggage, because it is related to whether the generals of the army can win when they fight on the battlefield.

The victory of the Jin army's soldiers on the battlefield was closely related to the efforts of the army's officers and soldiers, and the achievements in logistical support should not be underestimated.

The consumption of war is like this, especially when a large-scale war breaks out, the requirements for military officers and logistics will be even greater.

The progress of a war is a huge test for a country. If you want to win the war, you need to consider all aspects of the factors.

The existence of the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce has brought together the power of the merchants of the Jin State. Through the power of the merchants, a large number of benefits can be obtained for the Jin State.

It is normal for merchants to violate disciplines. After all, the merchant's taxes involve the specific interests of the merchant. But as long as it is discovered, the consequences will be cruel for the merchant, not only the assets

Your property will be confiscated, as will your family's assets, and in serious cases you may even be jailed.

Every year in the Jin Kingdom, there is no shortage of businessmen who are punished for this, but it still cannot stop such things from happening. This is also normal. For the sake of profit, businessmen dare to take risks. These are tangible benefits, and they are just handed over to the government in vain.

They must be reluctant in their hearts.

Artaban and Aruzi went to Mi Zhu's mansion on the same day.

On the way, when Artaban learned that Aluqi was coming, his expression changed slightly and he said with a smile: "If you see the Prime Minister of Guishuang and don't go up to greet him, wouldn't it be rude?"

After Artaban's motorcade slowly came to a stop, Aluzi, who learned the news, also walked out of the carriage.

There is a lot of hatred between Guishuang and Anxi, and even when the two guards look at each other, they are full of sparks of hatred.

Relatively speaking, Artaban and Aruzi behaved relatively calmly. In any case, they were also respectable figures and would not act like soldiers in the army because of some things.

The most basic etiquette is still required.

Artaban was proficient in the Kushan language, and Alyuz was proficient in the Parthian language, but when they talked, they used their own languages, which did not mean any convenience.

"I went to the residence of the Minister of Revenue and met the Prime Minister, which is really rare." Arda Banpi said with a smile.

Aluqi said: "I came here because I was invited by the Minister of the Ministry of Finance."

"Oh?" Artaban's eyes tightened. He also received an invitation from Mi Zhu, and then came to Mi Zhu's mansion. Mi Zhu was the Minister of Household Affairs of the Jin State. It was not easy for ordinary people to meet him.

This is the case even when it comes to Kushan and the messengers of Anxi.

Mi Zhu met the two of them at the same time. What was Mi Zhu's intention was something Artaban needed to think about.

"It seems that you have also been invited by the Minister of the Ministry of Finance. In that case, why not go together." Aluqi said.

Artaban nodded with a smile and said: "I'm afraid the Prime Minister will get nothing when he comes. The Kushan army attacked Jin's city before. Although it has restored relations with Jin, it is not easy to make the relationship between the two parties closer.

It’s a simple thing.”

Aluqi said: "Guishan has been friends with Jin for a long time, which cannot be compared with Anxi. There are a large number of merchants between the two sides. Even now, Anxi merchants who can come to Jin are...

It’s not much.”

Artaban sneered and said, "Aren't you afraid of angering King Parthia by doing this?"

"Provoking the King of Anxi? Humph, when have the warriors of Kushan ever been afraid of war? Even if the King of Anxi leads a large army to attack the city of Kushan, will he be able to win? As for getting assistance from the Jin State, maybe then

Will the army of the Roman Empire take advantage of the situation to attack Parthia?" Alyzzi said without showing any signs of weakness.

The tone of the two seemed calm, but they were not soft-spoken at all during the fight.

After some debate, Artaban and Aluzi could only give up. Besides, if this argument continues, there will be no more results. Judging from the information they received, if they want to get the production method of something, they need to look for Mi Zhu.

is more appropriate.

Although Mi Zhu could not make the decision on these matters, Mi Zhu could directly see the emperor of Jin and report these matters. In this way, some things would become simpler and clearer.

It's not a simple matter for ordinary businessmen and officials to see the Minister of Household Affairs.

In the Jin State, Mi Zhu, the Minister of Household Affairs, was very famous. He followed Lu Bu when he was in Xuzhou. Under Lu Bu's rule, he gradually achieved his current achievements and made the Mi family stronger. Even Mi Zhu's sister became a

Lu Bu's concubine.

With these relationships, the Mi family's status in the Jin Kingdom became even more respected.

Mi Zhu is in charge of the Ministry of Revenue and is in charge of money and food. This aspect alone makes many officials in the court envious. Although most of the time, Mi Zhu is busy with the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce. In the eyes of some officials, Mi Zhu's actions like this

, there is no difference between them and businessmen doing business, but Mi Zhu doesn't take it seriously. All he has to do is work hard for the prosperity of Jin State.

Even if some people say that he is a businessman, does Mi Zhu need to care more at this time? Just looking at the current achievements of the Mi family, you can know how the current Mi family cannot be messed with.

If you can make a family grow like this through doing business, that's also a skill.

Mi Zhu, who is in charge of the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce and is responsible for the affairs of chambers of commerce in various states, has absolute prestige among merchants.

Even if Lu Bu wants to rectify a family, it is a simple matter. Sometimes, just an order from Mi Zhu can damage the ability of some families to do business secretly. They cannot buy cheaper goods and do business.

The road will be even more bumpy.

Is it difficult to say that Mi Zhu abused his power because of such a trivial matter? Besides, after such a matter was spread, Mi Zhu could completely treat it as if he didn't know about it.

Anyone worthy of Mi Zhu's action must be the aristocratic family. When these aristocratic families were strong in the past, they had many sarcastic comments about the Mi family. Now that the Mi family has grown, they want to be more unbridled in front of the Mi family.

, how could Mi Zhu agree?

Through his own efforts, the Mi family's strength will be strengthened to a greater extent, which is also the direction Mi Zhu strives for.

The powerful strength of the Jin army and the current majesty of the Jin country are the most beneficial support for Jin officials. Making better use of this situation can make the Jin country even stronger.

The power of the merchants of Jin cannot be ignored. The development of Jin is closely related to the contribution of merchants. If you underestimate the merchants of Jin, you will often pay a corresponding price for such contempt.

.

The merchants living in Jin State also have their pride.

Mi Zhu has been busy recently. If the Jin army re-plans, the Ministry of Household Affairs will need to be involved. After the army arrives at a place, it needs to have enough money and food support. If the first two aspects cannot be guaranteed, the consequences will be

is the most dangerous.

As the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, Mi Zhu has many things to deal with. In fact, more often than not, just matters involving the Chamber of Commerce will make Mi Zhu very anxious.

However, in Mi Zhu's view, such busyness is fulfilling. This comes from the trust of the monarch. As a minister, he naturally has to cherish it more. It doesn't matter if he is tired.

The current position of the queen has been determined. In this way, Mi Zhu will not be as nervous as before when doing things.

After all, Mi Zhu's sister is in the palace. If it arouses the monarch's fear, it will be extremely detrimental to the development of the Mi family.

In fact, the officials in the court had a great influence on what happened in the harem of Jin State. It was the best thing for Mi Zhu that Mi Zhen could live happily in the palace.
