"So, even if we get it, it's still a tree without roots?" Zhang Song frowned and said, "In this case, we are somewhat controlled by Kushan." "There is indeed a problem in this aspect, but now we don't have it To deal with the entire strength of Guishan." Qin Mi shook his head, "I mean, accept the tribute from Guishan first, and then we can talk about other things." "That's all we can do. We are beyond our reach now. "Building a road from Chengdu to here is more important than anything else," Cheng Ji said with a slight headache, "I think we might have to stay here for a long time. It would be good to be able to deter you." "Shuang, and we now need a lot of information about Kushan, whether it is humanistic, political, or military, our understanding of Kushan is almost nothing," Zhang Songxu said with a solemn expression as he knocked on the table. "Don't worry, after you go back, we will still be stationed here. Have you ever seen me make any omissions in doing things for my brother?" Zhang Su said with a smile, "I have discussed it with Ziyuan and prepared to reopen the Southern Silk Road. The eldest daughter of the Wu family can communicate on her behalf. "Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Everyone knew that the eldest daughter of the Wu family had abandoned her family, and the fuss was quite big, because Wu Yuan was originally planning to marry Liu Zhang's third brother. Later Wu Yuan hid in Mount Tai or Yecheng. It is said that he got the protection of a certain big shot, but Liu Mao died due to physical reasons at that time, and Wu Yi expelled his own sister from the house because he was worried about Liu Zhang's face. In short, this matter ends here. Let it go. After that, there was no news about Wu Yuan. It seemed that there was no news, and Yizhou was relatively closed. Many people in Yizhou did not participate in many major world events, and the news was relatively closed, so this matter was treated as a topic of discussion. . The result is now exposed by Zhang Su. Although Zhang Song and others have long known that Wu Yi's thoughts are not very pure, they really did not expect Wu Yuan to communicate on his behalf. This is not a trivial matter. Opening up the Southern Silk Road is not a simple matter. , just a few people pass by. That needs to be truly transferred. This requires more than just one or two merchants. If it really wants to be completely connected and can be used to make money, it is estimated that one-tenth of the businessmen in the world, or the aristocratic family behind it, will be needed to take this path. Cooperate. A simple sentence can mobilize so many resources. The connections the Wu family currently has are really no joke. "I'm very curious, Ziyuan, how many people can your sister bring?" Wang Lei suddenly asked curiously, and everyone else also looked at Wu Yi. "My sister-in-law is probably more powerful than my incompetent brother. She is the vice-president of the Taishan Chamber of Commerce who manages the entry and exit of personnel." Wu Yi said with a wry smile. He himself did not believe that his sister could sit at this height. Although Wu Yi took care of his sister and handed over half of his family's network to Wu Yuan after Liu Mao's death, and allowed Wu Yuan to use the name of the Wu family, Wu Yuan could become the vice president of the Taishan Chamber of Commerce, which was in charge of 70% of the world's commercial affairs. The leader really scared Wu Yi. Of course, there are indeed many coincidences here. After all, the Wu family is one of the earlier members, and it is indeed financially strong. More importantly, when the alliance was formed in Yecheng, the map sent by the Wu family to Chen Xi very satisfied. Over time, when the establishment was being expanded, the Wu family was selected. At that time, Wu Yuan was living with Liu Bei, and Mrs. Gan had to take care of Adou. In addition, she did not understand this, so she held that authority more as a talisman, and Zhang Shi didn't have much time to take care of things at that time. Therefore, more of the Zhang family's share is given to Zhen Mi, and the Gan family does not have any close and capable descendants. She comes from a small family, and she is a bit cautious in her current position. If she does not manage it, she will be self-conscious. The corpse was in plain sight, but it was a pity that she really couldn't find anyone. Originally, Mrs. Gan wanted to hand it over to Zhen Mi, but Mrs. Zhang declined in order to avoid suspicion, leaving Mrs. Gan not knowing how to deal with it. Fortunately, Wu Yuan appeared at this time. Wu Yuan herself came from a wealthy family, and her status was completely the same as that of Zhen Mi. The two families were both famous families. In fact, Wu Yuan, who was a wealthy businessman in Zhen Mi, would naturally be one, and Wu Yuan had lived with Liu Bei for a long time. It's not short, and it's rare to be able to talk about it with Mr. Gan. After a long time, Gan knew Wu Yuan's identity, and handed over his part to Wu Yuan to take care of. From that time on, the three giants of the Chamber of Commerce became Mi Zhen, who represented Mi Zhu, and Zhen, who represented Zhang. Mi, and Wu Yuan, who represents the Gan family. It just so happens that this era is in an era when people are ashamed of business. Chen Xi doesn't think there is any problem if it is left to these three guys. Only villains and women are difficult to raise. Mi Zhu is embarrassed to do some things, but there is nothing wrong with the three of them. . Wait until the Chamber of Commerce will come back laterAfter the expansion, at Chen Xi's suggestion, three more vice-chairman positions were added. The Zhang family directly resigned and gave full power to Zhen Mi. Wu Yuan got a position belonging to the Wu family. The two Wei families refused to bow their heads. Chen Xi gave After taking a position, the last position was naturally reserved for Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang. In this way, Wu Yuan truly secured her position as vice-president at the beginning of the year and controlled a large amount of resources. However, she was completely tied to the ship. She probably won't be planning to return to the Wu family. Anyway, this time The position was pretty good too. Everyone looked at each other. Although they didn't think highly of businessmen, they really wouldn't underestimate the president of the Chamber of Commerce. With the resources held by those people, it wouldn't be a big problem to enrich the land of a state in a short time. Those people were the real significance. Get rich. "Don't look at me, I don't know how my sister did it, and I can guarantee that I didn't put my focus on that side." Seeing everyone's expressions of doubt, Wu Yi immediately explained. "Are you going to tell me that your sister built a huge family business from almost nothing?" Zhang Song rolled his eyes and said, are you kidding me? "That's not true. I did give my sister a lot of help, but everyone here has been working with me in the past two years, so you can probably see the situation in my family." Wu Yi said with a wry smile, "To be honest, now My sister and I are probably the only ones in the Wu family who still have a sense of brother-sister friendship. "It was not a joke that the Wu family wanted to deal with Wu Yuan who had run away. Wu Yuan had promised to marry Liu Hao, but Wu Yuan was in Wu. Yi ran away under his indulgence. It¡¯s a shame that Liu Yan didn¡¯t pass the throne to Liu Hao when he died, and Liu Hao died soon after, otherwise Wu Yi might not be able to stabilize the Wu family as the elder. Everyone present looked in disbelief, but in the end they had to nod. Although the Wu family had said a lot of nonsense in the past two years, Wu Yi had never done anything that was disgraceful. "So don't think too much. Although I am his brother, after all, public is public and private is private. I can guarantee that the terms offered by others will be better than those offered by others, but I'm afraid it may be a little different from what you have in mind. "Wu Yi vaccinated these people without thinking. All the civil servants nodded silently. They found that after accepting this reality, there was nothing surprising. It is not that there have never been female wealthy businessmen in Bashu. Four hundred years ago, the widow Qing of Ba owned money equivalent to 800 million taels of silver. More than five million taels of gold, Wu Yuan was in trouble. Guanxi places like Sichuan, Sichuan and Yongliang are more tolerant to women than other places. After all, these places have produced either wealthy businessmen or talented women in the past few hundred years. Three of the four most talented women in ancient China (there are five) It's in this area back home. "Don't worry, Zi Yuanda. It's not your own thing anyway, so you won't feel bad if you use it." Huang Quan waved his hand and said with a smile, "And there is such a way. When Zi Ting goes back, we will be able to use it in many places." "Well, indeed, Ji Xiu, after I leave, you will take my place and collect all information about Kushan, and cooperate with Kushan merchants to obtain the most authentic records of Kushan." Yang Hong said. "As for what happens after we go back, if we offer sacrifices to the Ancestral Temple, there will probably be some other things that happen." Although Qin Mi is not a highly intelligent person, he still has a normal political IQ. "If possible, I can do it in that place. It'll be better when the time comes." "It's a pity that since ancient times, there has never been a situation where we could make peace with each other even if we were able to fight." Zhang Song sighed and said, "If the Lord goes there, we will go with him. To be a witness, I always feel that something big will happen by then." "Stop being a cuckold." Zhang Su said to Zhang Song angrily, "The situation of worshiping the Ancestral Temple in Chang'an is not going to be better. The three families and the emperor meet at the same time. This is the emperor. The opportunity is also a disaster that the emperor must overcome. "As for all our previous estimates of Liu Xuande, this time we can see clearly." Zhang Su said as he glanced at the crowd. He knew very well among these people. Many people have a favorable impression of Liu Bei, and even he himself is not exempt from it. Everyone was silent when they heard the words, Zhang Su didn't pay too much attention, but Zhang Song coughed twice, "We will see if there is a chance then. If so, we can solve the problem of the Five Pecks of Rice Sect." " Don't have too much hope." Zhang Su warned, Zhang Song just smiled, success or failure was not too important to him, he was more interested in going to the theater, after all, even with his wisdom, There is no way to determine what will happen when the three families gather in Chang'an to worship the ancestral temple. "Ziqiao, please be optimistic about my lord. If there are three families gathering together in Chang'an to worship the Ancestral Temple, I'm afraid there will be an undercurrent." Zhang Su warned solemnly. "Okay, okay, I know all this, what can we doWhat happened, how could those three civil servants have not imagined that when they go to worship at the Ancestral Temple, the biggest problem is not the undercurrent formed by others, but the internal conflict among the three parties. "Zhang Song waved his hand and said. "Just be mentally prepared. "Zhang Su nodded and said that he trusted Zhang Song's ability. He was just worried that if Zhang Song didn't focus on this, everything would be in vain. Then Zhang Su stopped talking and started talking to Li Hui and Cheng Ji. Lu Kai and others discussed how to control the various satellite states in Indochina, while Gao Pei and others began to lead troops to clean up. "Report, general, there are envoys from Guishang." "A few days later at noon, when a group of people were handling official business in twos and threes, Gao Pei came over with a messenger. "It seems that Guishang's speed is faster than we thought. Zhang Song said with a smile, "Invite the other party to come in." " After hearing the words, the ordering soldiers turned and left, while a group of civil and military officials began to quickly arrange their positions, and then sat in a suitable position. After they adjusted their posture, the Kushan envoy was finally led to the Han army's camp. Inside. This time is very different from the Kushan envoys Li Xin saw before. At least this time, the clothes worn by the Kushan envoys are Han Chinese clothes, and the etiquette they use are all orthodox. Although some Han Dynasty etiquette is not very skilled, it can be seen that the other party has really worked hard in this aspect. Accept the bet originally agreed upon. "After the salute, the Kushan envoy took a roll of sheepskin map from his deputy and presented it to Yan Yan with both hands. Yan Yan took the scroll and opened it with both hands. He glanced at it and knew that this map represented The land they received was half of the Baicheng Dynasty. This was the so-called dedication. They immediately nodded to the Kushan envoy with satisfaction. Although they did not intend to occupy it, the Kushan approach made them very satisfied. We have received Shuang's sincerity. We plan to reopen the Southern Silk Road and build a city here. I wonder if Kuishang is willing to re-establish diplomatic relations with us. " Yan Yan rolled up the map, put it aside, looked at the other party and said. "We are willing to re-establish relations with the Han Dynasty, and are willing to exchange information with the Han Dynasty again to jointly maintain the stability of the western region from Wenjia to Parkson. "The envoy of Guishuang nodded and said to everyone with his telepathy. "In this way, Guishuang and the Han Dynasty will be like brothers. "Yan Yan said matter-of-factly. "When the Kushan envoys came to talk about peace, they could say something and have corresponding answers. Zhang Su and others had taught Yan Yan early in the morning, even what words should be said and what words should not be said. As for the details, it would be up to the civil servants to resolve them later. As for the framework of the peace talks, they were naturally presented to Liu Zhang as trophies and presented to the emperor as tribute. After that, the two sides presented the drafted regulations to each other. It is a loose framework, and the remaining complicated parts need to be discussed after the civil servants of both sides meet. After receiving the documents, the matters for the Kushan envoy's visit were basically completed, but the other party did not leave. "Generals, The commander-in-chief of our army, Brahe, plans to entertain you at a banquet in the Ganges River. I wonder if you will appreciate it. "Relying on his mental understanding, the Kushan envoy's words were translated with humility.
