"Mr. Marquis, an envoy from Liang Kingdom is here to pay homage!"

Just as Chen Xu was accompanying Meng Wan and Ying Shiman for a walk in the Panda Garden, the doorman at home hurried to report.

"Is it the envoy of Liang State that gentle again?" Chen Xu frowned and muttered.

"It's indeed Mr. Wen!" The manager nodded quickly.

"Why are this guy coming here again if he's fine?" Chen Xu pinched his chin and thought for a while, then ordered a few maids to take good care of Meng Wan and Ying Shiman, and he returned to Qinghe Villa to welcome the envoy from Liang Kingdom.

In June, an envoy of Liang Kingdom named Wen Bupo came from Yuezhi. After being recommended by Hou Kang of Xiyue, Chen Xu received the envoy named Wen Bupo.

That reception made Chen Xu very depressed because the envoy was sent by King Ying Gao of Liang to him on credit, and there were many items on credit, ranging from ordinary linen pottery to high-end porcelain and glass, pen, ink, paper, ink, tea and silk. As long as there were things from the Central Plains, Chen Xu wanted to help him get the entire Qin Dynasty back.

Chen Xu was very unhappy about King Liang's behavior that he would not ask for his father Qin Shihuang to ask for him. Damn, a dignified prince, your father is the Emperor of Qin, but you have to come and ask me around the bush, what is the meaning of asking me? This is a disguised expression of whether I, a left-minister and a Shangqing, have a greater face than your father? If this matter is spread, even if the emperor doesn't care, it will be not so pleasant to discuss in secret.

The trees are as beautiful as the forest and wind will destroy them, and the piles are as high as the shore and the waves are as strong as the turbulent.

Although the delivery guy Qinghehou is now famous all over the world, almost all five-star praises, but the so-called tree attracts wind, Chen Xu has too much cheese to move others, especially the nobles of the first six countries, who almost all regard him as a thorn in his eyes, and want to get rid of it quickly, but he has to lie dormant because his arm can't twist his thighs. Later, he experienced a nationwide crackdown that lasted for a full year. In addition to killing Huangshi Gong and beheading Ji Bu, Chen Xu and the chivalrous people in the world have almost become incompatible. All heroes from all walks of life were forcibly arrested by Chen Xu using administrative means to build roads, bridges and construction of the Qin Dynasty. However, the so-called people are in the world, and chivalrous will never be destroyed. Although the Qin Dynasty seems to be over, there are still many heroes who are ready to move, wishing to strip off the underwear of his immortal disciple in fairy skin and then blow his thorax.

The court and the world are eternal and difficult interweaving of love and hate.

If Chen Xu wants to live a prosperous life, he must hold Qin Dada's thighs tightly and control the Qin court in his own hands, not give the heroes of the world any opportunity to take advantage of. He also has to work hard to ravage these big and thick rough men over and over again until the Qin Dynasty completely becomes a warm and romantic country ruled by law.

In order to achieve this goal, Chen Xu tried to be careful not to conflict with anyone, and not let too many handles fall into the hands of others. Even his father-in-law Meng Yi, Chen Xu often wanted to strangle him to death, because this father-in-law knew too much.

Last time, King Ying Gao of Liang arranged for Wen Bupo to come to Xianyang to buy goods for credit. Because of the introduction of Xiyuehou, and we met and chatted, Chen Xu discovered that Wen Bupo was knowledgeable and elegant in his conversation, and he was almost no different from the Central Plains scribes, so he had a good impression of him. At the same time, due to Ying Gao's face, he had to thread needles and threads to contact some familiar merchants to Ying Gao for credit. Most of them were actually Chen Xu's own goods, porcelain, wine, glass, tea, bearing knives, pens, ink, paper and inkstone, etc. Chen Xu actually did not intend to get the money back, which was equivalent to a kind of gift of friendship, which was considered to support Ying Gao's development.

When Wen Bupo left, Chen Xu said clearly that the payment for this batch of goods was given by King Liang when he had it, and there was no need to rush to return it. Wen Bupo thanked him so much at that time, almost left with tears in his nose.

According to Chen Xu's idea, King Liang Ying Gao should be very clear about his intention, that is, you don't come to me in the future.

But what made Chen Xu depressed was that just over two months have passed, Ying Gao sent another envoy.

In the living room of Qinghe Villa, Wen Bupo was drinking tea.

He is about fifty years old, with black beard, black hair and tall figure. He is wearing a neat dark blue fifth-rank official robe. Except for a felt hat on the beginning, his whole body is almost no different from those of the Central Plains. Even the movements of drinking tea are very mature and natural, but the slight trembling of his hands still shows that he is extremely nervous.

Hearing the faint sound of the marquis and the footsteps of the marquis in the courtyard, Wen Bupo quickly put down his teacup and stood up, tidied up his clothes and hat and prepared to welcome him respectfully.

"Haha, Mr. Wen is fine. I miss you for several months!" Chen Xu walked into the living room with a smile on his face.

"Thank you for your concern. Bubo is willing to come to visit. Please forgive me!" Wen Bubo quickly bowed his hands and bowed deeply and bowed to the ground to pay a big greeting.

"No need for much politeness, please sit down. Now the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, Xianyang is lively, and Mr. Wen is coming at the right time..."

Chen Xu smiled and helped Wen Bupo up. The two of them sat down. After a maid brought incense tea again, Chen Xu took a sip and put down the teacup before speaking: "I wonder why Mr. Wen came to visit this marquis this time?"

Wen Bupo quickly stood up again and bowed, saying with a slightly embarrassed expression: "Last time, thanking the marquis for his righteousness, he gave Liang Guo hundreds of thousands of goods. These goods have not been sold all, so the payment for the goods will be delayed for a while..."

"It's okay to pay for the goods. I said at the beginning that when King Liang got the money, he would give it to him when he would!" Chen Xu waved his hand with a smile.

"The Marquis is elegant. Even though he said that, the so-called thieves have a way, and the business way must adhere to the word "trust and righteousness". How can we not express it? This time, King Liang specifically reminded him not to meet the Marquis to express his gratitude. He hopes to relieve himself for a while. At most, by the beginning of next spring, the payment for the goods will be returned in full!"

"Then please let Mr. Wen go back and tell King Liang. Thank you. Mr. Wen came from afar, and the carriage was exhausted. Let's sit down and have a tea first!"

After Chen Xu's greeting, Wen Bupo sat down again. After half a cup of hot tea, Chen Xu spoke again: "After the Mid-Autumn Festival, it will be the autumn market. Did Mr. Wen come for the autumn market?"

"Mr. Marquis Mingjian, that's exactly what it is!" Wen Bupo nodded quickly.

"Haha, this Qiu City attracted merchants from hundreds of counties in the Qin Dynasty, and therefore gathered specialty products from different places in the southeast, west and northeast of the Qin Dynasty. Even merchants from various countries such as the Donghu Yuezhi of the Xiongnu Donghu and the Qiang Rong and Western Regions will come. It will inevitably be an unprecedented commercial event. Mr. Wen must take a good look at this market. At that time, the same market can be opened regularly in Liang Kingdom to attract merchants from the Qianghu in the Western Regions. Over time, the Liang Kingdom will inevitably become prosperous!" Chen Xu put down his teacup and said with a smile.

"Thank you for your teachings. This time, Bupo came for Qiushi, and he was also a little confused. So he suddenly took the liberty to visit the Marquis, hoping to get some tips from the Marquis. If you don't make a little success in the future, you will definitely not dare to forget the Marquis' grace..." Wen Bupo stood up and walked to Chen Xu and bowed deeply.

"Mr. Wen, please, why should you be so polite? At that time, you and the Marquis of Xiyue supported the King of Yuezhi and the Qin Dynasty to repair it, which reduced the battle between the Qin and the Yuezhi. Therefore, countless Yuezhi tribes and the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty were spared from the disaster of swords and weapons. This was a decent act of Yuntian, and it was indeed a great righteousness. This Marquis admired Mr. Wen very much. It would be okay if Mr. Wen had any questions. If you have any, I would never refuse if I could help!"

"The righteousness of the Marquis really makes Bubo feel grateful!" Wen Bubo bowed again and sat back on his chair with red eyes. "Since the last time the Marquis helped to pay wealth on credit, Bubo returned to Liang Kingdom, he was awarded the title and title. Now Bubo is the head of the Commerce Department under the Ministry of Revenue of Liang Kingdom, mainly responsible for the trade exchanges between Liang Kingdom and Daqin and surrounding tribes. Although Bubo had been studying in the Central Plains for more than ten years, he thought he was quite proficient in Central Plains culture, but he was not good at business. Therefore, he has suddenly become the chief official in charge of trade and trade, but he is helpless. Liang Kingdom is now in a waste of money and goods, and some officials even have the rank of officials.

The King of Liang was not able to distribute it on time, and King Liang was quite sad about this. As a minister, we cannot share the worries of the king, so we naturally had no face to deal with it. This time, the King of Liang was sent to the capital with a caravan again. In addition to selling some specialties of Liang Kingdom, he also wanted to learn business and make friends with some Central Plains merchants through this market where merchants gathered. At the same time, he also came to visit the Marquis, hoping to get guidance from the Marquis on the development of trade so that our Liang Kingdom can keep up with the development of the Qin Dynasty. Only the prosperous Liang Kingdom can guard the land of the West for the Qin Dynasty and provide a solid support for His Majesty the First Emperor to continue to expand the territory west in the future..."

Wen Bupo was knowledgeable and flexible, and had a very good eloquence. Otherwise, he would not have been the most valued staff member of the Yuezhi King at the time. After saying this, Chen Xu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Damn it's not just for on credit.

You should know that compared with Liang Kingdom, the Liao and Dai Kingdoms under the command of Prince Jianglu and Gongzi Kun were even poorer. In addition to selling cattle, horses, fur and wool, they basically had the rhythm of eating in the sky. Farming was impossible. The Huns and Donghu people could never farm in their lives. Those who liked farming were all people from Central Plains who resigned and migrated. Moreover, the emperor did not pay much attention to the Liao Dynasty. The enfeoffment of these two places was just a coincidence. At the same time, they also wanted to resettle a group of their sons. They were all grown up and started a family. Staying in Xianyang was awkward and it was not conducive to the stability of the royal family.

The Liang Kingdom is different. The Hexi Corridor is a necessary way to control the Western Regions and lead to the West. Moreover, the water and grass are abundant and fertile land. In later generations, they were all the main grain-producing areas in the northwest. The wheat and rice produced are of great quality. Therefore, after half a year of consideration, the emperor entrusts the second son Ying Gao, who is the most filial and responsible person here. The purpose is self-evident, that is, he thinks that Ying Gao can reassure him. As for the son who was in charge of the Liao Dynasty, he was basically considered a sheep. There is nothing to do in the northwest and northeast areas, and they are all outside the Great Wall. Now that the Huns and Hu have been conquered, he will not plan to go and see it again in his life.

Of course, Chen Xu retained his own opinion about the emperor. The Songliao Plain and Daxinganling in the northwest are actually a treasure land of China. Although they are poor and cold, the black soil is extremely fertile. If all of them are developed, the grain output of the Northeast can maintain the food for hundreds of millions of people, but Daqin's arm is still not so far.
