The five hundred and fortieth chapter [received your country]

The old politician Dongyangjun is right. Compared with the throne that was granted and the future Western interests, what is the point of eating a piece of meat that has broken taste? These princes can definitely enjoy it, and they also have to praise it "tsk tsk" when eating. This is a gift from the emperor. It is so delicious. It is best to have one or two pieces every day.

That is, the newly promoted lady of Qi State, Miss Zhong Wuyan, was displeased and frowned: "What the hell is this? It smells so bad!" She turned to look at the 'sister' Ying Shu. Seeing that she had already stuffed her flesh into the mouth of the eunuch, she was about to make it as she was about to make it as usual. Suddenly, she heard the sound of a horn sound, and several nearby frigates made flags. Zhong Wuyan was a learning genius. Not long after she got on the ship, she learned the must-use flags on the water. When she saw the flags, she was stunned: "Enemy attack?"

From a distance, I saw that a ship appeared on the southern sea first, and then more than a dozen came out. However, the hulls of these ships were narrower and the shape was not as square as those of Qin and Qi. They were still square and square as they were passed down during the Shang and Zhou dynasties. At most, they looked larger river ships, and it was a bit difficult to get them to the sea. It was probably the people on the ship who knew it themselves. These dozens of river ships were all coming closely to the shore. Although they were smooth sailing now, they only dared to raise half a sail.

It took more than an hour to run away from the appearance of the fleet at sea level to the gradually contact between the two sides. More than 20 frigates on the periphery had already crossed their swords and held bows, and crossbows and arrows aimed at the dozen river ships. The flag bearers kept tying flags to indicate their identity. After three consecutive attacks, they saw that the dozen river ships raised strange flags from ancient times, all of which were black flags with silver wire patterns embroidered on them. Some looked like animals, insects, some looked like mountains, rivers, and some looked like stars in the sky. They were not found in the Central Plains.

"It's the banner of the enlightened dynasty! Why did these Shuchuan barbarians come? Speaking of which, the Shu country was not enfeoffed by the Emperor of Zhou. It's reasonable that they did not invite the Marine Alliance this time, but they rushed over. Is this a sign of surrendering to the Emperor of Zhou?"

Seeing these strange flags, the princes couldn't help but whisper; Tian Yinqi looked at Bai Dong and couldn't help but whisper: "You didn't invite the King of Shu to come, but it seems that they can't help it. Bai Zi's actions are difficult to understand. I really can't understand it."

Shuzhong has a history of thousands of years since the founding of Cancong Kingdom. It has experienced three major historical stages: Cancong, Du Yu and Bi Ling. Although it was a tribal alliance in the early stage, it was the founding of the enlightened dynasty by Bi Ling, and it has been passed down to twelve generations. It relied on Shuchuan Road to become a hegemon; however, the relationship between the Shuzhong Dynasty and China was very delicate. It was originally not a country enthroned by the Emperor of Zhou, and it was blocked for many years. After the three families divided Jin, they gradually had exchanges with Qin and Chu, and they were not considered as the princes of China. This time they received

Some of the princes who participated in the maritime alliance were nominated by the Emperor Zhou, and the others were lists prepared by Bai Dong. The Emperor Zhou naturally looked down on these savages in Sichuan. Bai Dong didn’t invite the King of Shu for some reason, which made Tian Yinqi very strange. The Bai family also had a commercial base in Shu. This was an opportunity to establish a good relationship with the King of Shu, but I wonder why Bai Zi let it go easily? (The so-called savages in Sichuan are the product of a specific historical period, and do not represent the view of light and darkness)

"What can't be understood? Bashu is a good place. Unfortunately, it is not the fief of the emperor. Just like Zhongshan Kingdom, it is not belonged to China, so how can I make a decision for the emperor? This is not what a minister should do. Will the King of Qi not know?" Bai Dong smiled softly and said, "As for the Bai family's business in Shu, it is something you want, and you should not curry favor with the King of Shu because of this, so as not to be ridiculed by the world."

"Bah, you are unwilling to make decisions for the emperor. Are you very good at making decisions for me? When will my inner palace also want you to worry about?" Tian Yinqi glanced at Zhong Wuyan angrily, lowered his voice and said, "It would be strange if you believe in you. If you talk about barbarians, isn't it? Or is it because Wu Zhuan is your disciple. So this barbarian can also be crowned as a king?"

In the eyes of old princes like Qi, Lu, Wei and Song, Chu, Yue and Bashu were barbarians. Chu was later powerful and gradually accepted by Shandong countries. But what is Yue? At least in Tian Yinqi's view, there is no difference between Yue and Bashu, and Bai Dong is clearly partial.

While everyone was talking, they saw a sampan dropping down by the ship of Shu. On the sampan, a man was wearing silk clothes and crowns, holding a brocade box in his hand, and was coming towards the emperor's boat. Behind him, a flag was erected with the words "Kaiming Dynasty". The flag was flying in the wind, allowing everyone to see clearly.

"The enlightened dynasty? Who is this Shu king? Why is it so bold? It would be fine if he hid in Shu and was dynasty and became king, but it was really outrageous to slap the dynasty in front of the Zhou emperor!" The Chinese countries are also interesting. On the one hand, they refuse to admit these "barbaric barbarians", but they cannot tolerate them to be kings and dominate. If you call the king of Ba, Shu, you can call it king. On this occasion, you can slap the dynasty flag in the face. Not only did it slap the Zhou emperor who had just been promoted to emperor, but it also slap the princes and princes in the face.

The envoy of Shu Kingdom slowly walked onto the emperor's dragon boat with the strange eyes of the princes, and ignored the princes of various countries. He just bowed slightly when he walked by Bai Dong: "My king wants to say hello to Bai Zi, and said that if Bai Zi is willing, he might as well open a commercial base in Xindu. The scale of our Great Shu Kingdom is comparable to that of Daliang Handan, and there is also a grand scene of sweating like rain. If Bai Zi is willing to look south, his business will naturally be prosperous."

Bai Dong smiled softly: "Thank you for your kindness to the King of Shu, but if you don't have a good man today, the Bai family may look south to Xindu. Unfortunately, the noble man not only came today, but also put forward the banner of "Enlightened Dynasty". How can the Bai family cooperate with Shu? I'm afraid that even the existing commercial strongholds will be withdrawn."

The envoy of Shu Kingdom sighed slightly, but said nothing. He walked to the emperor's lunar calendar and bowed gently and said, "Du Ming, the doctor at the Kaiming King, has seen the emperor. My king was very happy to know that the emperor was the emperor. He was willing to attend the meeting, but he was not invited, so he brought a box of gifts to the emperor."

"Haha, the Kaiming King? You are the barbarians. When will the king be granted the king?" Ji Bian was really displeased. It would be fine if Shu Kingdom came uninvited, but he would also call him the enlightened dynasty one by one. Now he is the only one in the world who can be granted the king. Which one is the king of Shu? However, the barbarians are not even qualified to attend the meeting. However, China is a country of etiquette. Although the King of Shu hated it, he came to give gifts after all. Naturally, he should show his etiquette. "Well, I should have broken your flag and drove you away from the dragon boat, but since you came to pay respect, I would not be able to be polite. Come and take the gift from Shu Kingdom. Let the envoy return."

After receiving the gift, he drove someone away. Ji Bian's attitude was very clear.

"Son of the Lord, let's wait. My king's gift is unique and is in line with today's topic. Please show it in public."

"Oh, this gift is still relevant? I am a little curious. Dongyang Jun opened the gift and read it."

"The minister respects the order."

Dongyang Jun is actually more curious than Ji Bian. He wanted to know what the King of Shu would send in this big scene of the gathering of princes in the world? Is it the best Shu embroidery? Or the old ginseng produced in the Qinling Mountains of Sichuan and Qinling Mountains? It is said that the Qinling Mountains can produce foreign objects, and there are mostly human-shaped Polygonum multiflorum Laoshan ginseng. If ordinary people eat it, they can prolong their lifespan.

He opened the brocade box carefully. Before he could see what was inside, he felt a foul stinking to his face. After seeing what was inside clearly, Dongyang Jun first widened his eyes, then his whole body trembled, and his fingers Du Ming cursed: "Thief, you have such a great courage!"

The box is not a pearl and jade, nor is it the Polygonum multiflorum and Laoshan ginseng that Dongyang Army imagined, but a handful of "dung earth" that is neither black nor red nor red. Since Li Kui promoted the "fine work" in Wei State to call for the "teaching of earth power", farmers all over the world have learned the method of cultivating manure to strengthen earth power. This thing is also considered a treasure of the farmers, but it was given as a gift to the emperor at this national ceremony, which insulted the entire China!

Ji Bian suddenly stood up and walked to Dongyang Jun. He grabbed the box containing dirt and threw it hard at Du Ming, shouting: "Ducai. I think I can't kill you?"

"Haha, may I ask the Emperor Zhou. Is the Shu Kingdom a Zhou minister called me?"

Du Ming was agile. He avoided the feces box in a light flash and asked Ji Bian calmly. Ji Bian was stunned when he heard this. It was difficult to answer. If Shu was said to be Zhou minister, why would he join the princes of the world not invite the King of Shu? If Shu was said to be Zhou minister, Du Ming came here to be a diplomatic diplomatic relationship with the two countries. China values ​​etiquette. Since the Western Zhou Dynasty, there have been rules that the two countries have not deceived the envoys, so it would be difficult for him to punish Du Ming.

"Shu Kingdom is just a barbaric country. It is neither my Celestial Kingdom nor is it worthy of diplomatic relations with me. Your wild king insults the emperor so much. It is not considered a violation of diplomatic etiquette if you take your head today. Your Majesty, you don't have to hesitate!" Dongyang Jun was already furious. He was closest to the feces just now and had a full meal.

"Haha, even if Shu is not worthy of diplomatic relations with China, it would have been a gift from thousands of miles away? Could it be that the Emperor Zhou did not like this gift? My ministers heard that the country is based on the people and the people are based on food. Can the people eat the food of the people leave the land? This manure is the most fertile land on the plain in the middle of our Sichuan. It is used to strengthen the fields to strengthen the land and strengthen the country's foundation. This is the foundation of the country! Now my king is dedicated to the king as the king, which is enough to be a great ritual. I don't know why the emperor and the king of Dongyang are angry, and why the princes of various countries are surprised? Is it because China is just a ritual, but it only knows the joy of silk and bamboo, the joy of wine and meat, and the confusion of sound and color?"

This old guy is really good to say! When he said this, it seems that this box of dirt is really something more precious than gold, but are there people in the world who give gifts and smelly manure? If you give smelly manure, you have to praise him. Why?

Ji Bian and Dongyang Jun were stunned, and the princes from all over the world looked at each other, and they were speechless for a moment.

"Okay, since the King of Shu is so generous, he actually presented the country with both hands. I think my emperor must collect it. What is this dung? That is the land! I ask my emperor to issue an order. The Chinese army will point to Bashu soon and take all its abundant land!"

"you!"

After seeing the person who was talking clearly, Du Ming was shocked. It would be fine if it were someone else. This was Bai Zi, the first rich businessman in China to make his business in Sichuan, the great sect, and the first extreme minister in China (to be continued)
