That day, when it was almost evening, Zhang Yue's house became lively again.

More than a dozen marquises came to Zhang's mansion with a large number of gifts almost at the same time.

What kind of gold, pearls and jade in the gifts are just ordinary things.

Valuable products such as fire cloth, coral, ambergris and even Western Regions specialty yarn cloth.

All kinds of treasures gather together.

Almost turned the Zhang Mansion Hall into a meeting to show off wealth.

There is no way, since the Dayuan War, the Silk Road was completely opened.

Countless Han merchants left Yumen Pass, walked from the Loulan Kingdom, and went to the Western Regions.

Countless foreign merchants from afar, like sharks smelling blood, never quit thousands of miles and never avoiding difficulties. They brought various foreign treasures to the Pamir Mountains, came to the Western Regions, and even entered the territory of the Han Dynasty.

This has benefited a lot from the Han Dynasty and the entire Xia ethnic group.

Not to mention the other words, many vegetables, fruits, melons, and even cash crops in later generations flowed into China during this period.

Of course, treasures and artworks from far and wide are also from it.

In later generations, Persian and Roman gold coins and artworks were unearthed from tombs of the Han Dynasty.

Several of them are even considered national treasures, and even their origins are very few.

Among all the treasures, the most attractive one is a piece of glass that Zhao Changle took out with Taohou.

The whole body is crystal clear, with some emerald green streaming light mixed in the light yellow halo, and the whole gem is almost completely transparent.

As soon as it was taken out, it immediately blinded countless people's eyes.

Even Zhang Yue was a little moved.

Because, he recognized this gem, it should be a cat's eye stone!

In today's world, there is only one region that produces the Indian subcontinent, to be precise, the Kashmir region.

And now, this hot spot in later generations is an independent kingdom called Shibin.

When Zhang Qian opened the Western Regions, he sent people to Qibin to communicate with him.

This Indian kingdom tens of thousands of miles away came into view from the Han Dynasty.

However, apart from envying the various treasures and specialties in the local area, the Han Dynasty had no other ideas about this kingdom.

But the trade volume between Han and Jubin was astonishingly large!

As Zhang Yue knew, 30% of the silk and tea exported by the Han Dynasty were bought by the people of the Binbin.

But the problem is that the export of the Qibin people to the Han Dynasty is also very strong!

For example, in the Han Dynasty, the price of fire cloth, wall glass and cloth made them profitable.

Now, the Han Dynasty has a surplus to all its trading partners.

Only the deficit against Yubin!

As a time traveler, Zhang Yue knew that this situation could not continue!

So Zhang Yue smiled and asked Zhao Changle, "Honey, this thing is probably valuable, right?"

Zhao Changle smiled and said, "It's good if the Shizhong likes it, it's good if you like it..."

Of course he spent a lot of money!

In order to buy this item, he spent 3 million yuan plus 500 gold.

Almost emptied most of the family's assets.

Now, although I feel very distressed to send it out, I can’t help it.

How can you flatter, hold your thighs, and be reluctant to leave your children?

Zhang Yue listened, smiled and asked, "Jun Hou said carefully, how much is this thing worth? Is it worth a thousand gold?"

"It's almost the same..." Zhao Changle said slightly reservedly: "However, those who have virtue are here, and those who have virtue are poor, they feel deeply ashamed and think that only those who serve the Chinese can have it!"

"Haha..." Zhang Yue took the gem and said to Zhao Changle: "Then I'm disrespectful!"

He turned to Tian He beside him and ordered: "Register all the gifts from all the guests and record them!"

"No!" Tian He hurriedly took the order.

Everyone laughed with relief.

What they fear most is that Zhang Yue doesn't want their gifts.

Because, this means that the other party sent a signal to them, the Shizhongguan still did not forgive them.

That would be too bad!

And after taking this gift, the situation will be completely different.

One of the unspoken rules of the Han political arena is to take money and eliminate disasters with others.

Even the eunuchs and concubines in the court followed this unspoken rule. The breach of contract over the past century was almost zero, which was considered the most reputable rule of the Han Dynasty.

Zhao Changle even smiled and said, "I heard about the righteousness of the Shizhong, and the lower officials were ashamed. The dog son was even more grateful. He was willing to serve the Shizhong's tents, thinking that the cattle and horses would walk, and that they would be close to the virtuous and capable..."

As he said that, behind Zhao Changle, a young noble man walked to Zhang Yue in a slight manner and said with some displeasure: "I am the younger generation who is the last student to join Zhao Xuan to pay homage to Shizhong Gong!"

This is also because Zhao Changle is willing to invest so much money.

He thought about it for a long time at home, but finally decided to take a gamble.

If this playboy can become a person around the Shizhong official, or even a disciple, then he will make a lot of money.

Zhang Yue glanced at the young man.

Maybe the other party is one or two years older than him, and he looks pretty.

The figure and size are quite qualified.

At least it is not the kind of weak scum who can't help but fall to the ground when blown by the wind.

However, looking at his expression, it seemed that he was not very convinced.

To be honest, Zhang Yue is too lazy to deal with such a playboy!

However, for the sake of Naizu's face, Zhang Yue showed a bright smile, stepped forward and helped him up, and said softly: "Since you have this ambition, I just happened to be planning to form a county soldier in Xinfeng. You will study with me for a few days, and then go to the county soldier camp to report..."

Then, Zhang Yue turned his head and grinned at Zhao Changle: "Your Hou can't blame me in the future. I am harsh on the noble son..."

Zhang Yue has some solutions to deal with such a playboy or a middle-aged boy.

However, his time is precious and reasonable. If it weren't for the origin and background of this guy, Zhang Yue wouldn't bother to pay attention to him!

The Taohou family had a huge influence in Fanyu, Jiaozhi and other counties.

More importantly, this family also has the bloodline of the old Luoyue King!

At the beginning, Zhao Tuo stood up after the death of Qin Shihuang, led his army to expand southward and entered Jiaozhi, and fought with Luoyue, the Baiyue Kingdom, which was established in Jiaozhi at that time.

At first, the war was deadlocked, so Zhao Tuo shook hands with the people of Luoyue to make peace, and set aside the Pingjiang River and ruled. The north of the Yangtze River returned to Zhao Tuo and the south of the Yangtze River returned to Luoyue.

It must be pointed out that the Luoyue Kingdom is a standard kingdom of Xia.

Although it has never been recognized, its founder is the survivor of the Bashu Kingdom that was destroyed by Qin.

The Qin people admitted in the form of legal documents that the Luoyue King was descended from the King of Shu and named him King of Anyang.

When Zhao Tuo and the King of Anyang were in a deadlock, Zhao Tuo sent one of his sons to the palace of the Luoyue King and became a proton. The proton married the daughter of the Luoyue King as his wife. This was the ancestor of Zhao Guang, who followed Taohou.

Later, Zhao Tuo destroyed Luoyue and still regarded his son as the king, standing in charge of Jiaozhi and Rinan.

By the time of Zhao Guang's generation, he was named King Cangwu and was in charge of Guilin.

Therefore, the Taohou family has a strong influence throughout the Baiyue region.

The position of this family may even determine the position of many Baiyue tribes.

Otherwise, the Han Dynasty would not have established a rule in Jiaozhi, Rinan and Cangwu so smoothly and steadily.

Therefore, if you teach (regulate) and educate (education) well, it is very likely that miracles will happen in the future.

Zhao Changle was so happy that he almost danced with his hands and feet. He quickly said, "Mr. Shizhong, please teach me a lesson! My father once said before his death: A son cannot become a talent without fighting, and a man cannot be polite without teaching. If a son is naughty, Shizhong, please punish him..."

As the person involved, Zhao Xuan was already bitter and had no desire to live.

When it fell into Zhang Chiyou's hands, Zhao Xuan felt that he might have come to hell.

But neither Naifu nor Zhang Yue cares about his own feelings.

Especially Zhao Changle, he even felt that his luck had come.

How many nobles in Chang'an City want to send their son to this Shizhongguan to exercise?

I'm afraid there are thousands, right?

But, so far, no one has succeeded.

Because almost no one knows the preferences of this Shizhong official, if he doesn't know his preferences, wouldn't it be shameless?
