Chapter 1110 Continue to be your promising career

After getting the first few time travels of the wishing system, especially when he was an emperor, Wang Xiao worked very seriously and hard.

In Wang Xiao’s view, every time you travel through the world is a new life, you must be careful.

However, when he traveled through time more and became emperor more and he naturally became slutty.

If you do everything yourself, it would be too tiring, and it might not be possible to do everything well.

So later, Wang Xiao began to take the initiative to delegate power and leave everything to those who are capable to do.

Just like when I came to Dahan this time, everything in the court was handed over to Dou Ying.

This is because Wang Xiao knows that this person has a good character and is tired all day long and can't be a powerful minister.

Moreover, although he is a member of the Dou family, he is not a soldier of Empress Dowager Dou.

When the Liang King Liu Wu was the most fiercer when he fought for the position of Huang's brother with the support of Empress Dowager Dou, Dou Ying jumped out to take the lead in opposing the matter. Empress Dowager Dou was so angry that she drove him out of the Dou family.

"The Prime Minister is busy with state affairs, why do you have time to find here?"

For people like Dou Ying, Wang Xiao would naturally give face with a kind look and say "sit down and say it."

Dou Ying waited until Zhuo Wenjun, who was blushing, left, and then knelt down and saluted, "Your Majesty, I came here this time to trade with the Huns."

"What's wrong?"

"Yes." Dou Ying explained, "Mayi Captain reported that when the local wealthy merchants were trading with the Huns, they were suspected of smuggling contraband."

"This kind of thing can be handled according to the Han law." Wang Xiao asked in confusion, "Why did you say that you came here?"

Every time the Han Dynasty and the Huns remarried, there would be several years of peace on both sides.

Moreover, as one of the conditions for marriage, both sides need to open a market of different numbers of mutual markets.

In these markets, the Huns used their cattle, sheep and horses to exchange for silk tea, cloth, grain, porcelain and other supplies from the Han Dynasty.

Among them, iron tools are absolutely contraband. According to the Han law, if you catch someone who sells iron tools privately, you will be killed.

But no matter how awesome smuggling is, it is just a case. There must be other problems if the Prime Minister takes the initiative to come to the emperor to tell him.

Sure enough, Dou Ying followed the other side and said, "Your Majesty, the smuggling merchant has fled to the Huns and has been sheltered by military officials. Now the Mayi side has been sealed, but the military officials have sent an envoy to say that if the seal is sealed, it is my great man who violates the marriage, and he will bring the army to fight."

“Ha~”

Wang Xiao couldn't help but smile, "It's really a street slut."

The characteristic of street skaters is that I have it regardless of whether it is reasonable or not.

Even if I fall at your doorstep, you have to compensate me for my medical expenses, otherwise you will have to be beaten up.

The military minister's actions at this time were no different from those of the streets. He didn't tell you anything at all, he just wanted to earn benefits by relying on the force of the Huns.

As for why this matter was sent to me all the way, it is now very obvious. This is already a diplomatic incident that concerns whether the two sides will fight.

Wang Xiao's mind quickly rotated and thought about several ways of dealing with it.

For example, they took the opportunity to get the tiger talisman from Empress Dowager Dou, seized the opportunity to clear up a group of disobedient nobles, took advantage of the internal conflicts of the Huns to divide, or took the opportunity to set up an ambush in Mayi, or even carried out a large-scale mobilization to fight the Huns, etc.

At the end, Wang Xiao said, "Send someone to tell Junchen that it is okay to reopen the trade, but you have to send the smuggling merchant back."

Dou Ying quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Is he afraid that the young and energetic emperor would be angry, and then shouted that he would fight to the death with the Huns.

In that case, the prosperous era brought about by decades of hard work in developing economic rest and recuperation will inevitably collapse.

He was used to living a prosperous life and seeing people who had the best land to farm and could eat and wear warm clothes. Dou Ying really didn't want to engage in a large-scale national war.

Now Wang Xiao chose to calm down the situation, which made Dou Ying very satisfied. "But Your Majesty, the military minister will not send people back, it is related to his face. If the smuggler is killed, no one will smuggle them in the future."

"Who said he was going to kill him?"

Wang Xiao laughed and said, "Tell the military minister clearly that I will not kill the smuggler. This is the guarantee of the emperor of the Han Dynasty. When the man comes back, he will bring him to see me."

Of course he was not afraid of the Huns. There was really nothing in this world that could make him afraid of.

The reason for doing this was because Wang Xiao thought of the Mayi siege that returned in history without success.

Strategically speaking, the Han army did an excellent job.

However, there were problems with tactics, resulting in the 300,000 army eventually returning in vain.

Wang Xiao was preparing to copy this classic Battle of Mayi, and the smuggling merchants who could gain the trust of military officials were an extremely important fuse.

About two months later, Nie Yi, a great merchant from Mayi, appeared in front of Wang Xiao.

"Sinner Nie Yi, pay homage to the Emperor."

However, Nie Yi, who was in his early thirties, did not look like a big businessman, but instead looked like a small vendor who traveled all year round and sold needles and threads alleys.

He was wearing a sheepskin coat, and his face turned red due to the long-term strong light.

Whether in terms of appearance, dress and demeanor, he was not like a famous businessman who almost triggered a war between the Han and the Huns.

Wang Xiao was more interested in Nie Yi because he had read the Three Kingdoms, which was a historical version of the Three Kingdoms, not the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. It is recorded above that Zhang Liao's ancestor was this Nie Yi.

The original words of the Three Kingdoms are "I changed my surname after Nie Yi to avoid complaints."

The meaning of this sentence is that Zhang Liao was originally a descendant of Nie Yi, and the Nie family offended the Huns because of the siege of Mayi, but the Han army could not fight into an ambush, which was equivalent to offending the Han Dynasty.

There was no choice but to change the name and avoid the anger of both sides.

After all, he was the lord of Zhang Liao, and Wang Xiao was still relatively tolerant of Nie Yi, "What are your crimes?"

"The criminals smuggled out of the customs and violated the Han law and deserved to die."

"No need to die ten thousand times, one death is enough."

Wang Xiao's words made Nie Yi stunned.

He was just saying polite words. If he was dead, he would rather stay on the grassland to drink wind and eat sand, and endure the smell of mutton than come back.

Nie Yi opened his mouth and wanted to say that it was Your Majesty, you used the reputation of the Emperor of Han to guarantee that you would not kill me, so I dared to come back.

The reputation of the Emperor of Han is a very valuable hard currency, because no one in the world speaks more effectively than the Emperor of Han.

In history, Xiaozhu played with white deer coins. Although he made a lot of money, he made a lot of money, but he ruined the emperor's brand. It also made the people all over the world know that the emperor could speak without keeping his word.

This incident even directly led to Xiaozhu's first self-criticism in history in his later years.

In Wang Xiao's opinion, Xiaozhu's operation is to pick up sesame seeds and throw away watermelons. Compared to the reputation and credibility of the emperor, what is a mere fortune?

"Don't be afraid."

Wang Xiao stood up and walked to Nie Yi, looking at him condescendingly, "I always speak in one word. If I say nothing, I will not pursue it."

Nie Yi leaned over and cried on the ground, "Thank you for your kindness~"

He was not stupid either, so he naturally knew that he had almost triggered a war between the Han and the Huns before.

Nie Yi is naturally a great hero in Mayi, but at the national level, it is not worth mentioning at all.

"The sinners will be good at serving the great man in the future, and they will never dare to sell contraband products privately."

Nie Yi, who was crying and expressing his sincerity, heard Wang Xiao say, "What's the use of asking you?"

"ah?"

Nie Yi's crying sound disappeared in an instant. He raised his head and looked at Wang Xiao blankly. What does this mean?

Wang Xiao simply supported his knees with his hands and stared at Nie Yi and said, "I want you to continue the smuggling business and sell the goods of the Han Dynasty to the Huns."

If the person in front of you is not the emperor, even Prime Minister Dou Ying, Nie Yi would dare to ask, "How many percent do you want to divide it?"

But the person in front of him is the emperor, so he naturally can't say this, and he doesn't understand why the emperor said this. Could it be that he is talking sarcastic?

"It's not a slander that mocks you, it's really letting you continue to do this."

Wang Xiao smiled and said, "Ironware can continue to be sold, but you have to remember to control the quantity and not sell it on a large scale. You must know how to keep flowing. In addition, silk porcelain and other things can be sold as much as you want. Remember, some lead powder should be sprinkled on tea, yellow, pepper and other tea."

"As for the things you buy, you will choose horses and cows. Don't want sheep. This thing is of no use to the big man except for its deliciousness. By the way, you should try your best to choose your mother's mother's mother's, so don't be fooled by the Huns."

He raised his hand and patted Nie Yi who was already trembling. "Continue to be your promising career. There are still times when you can use you in the future. Work hard, I'll be optimistic about you."

People of this era do not understand the harm caused by lead powder. Silk and porcelain are of no significance to national strength except for being good-looking.

What he cared about was Nie Yi, a smuggler who was trusted by Junchen Shanyu.

What Wang Xiao is doing now is to increase Nie Yi's sense of trust and importance in Junchen's heart.

When the time is ripe, it can exert the power of a shocking battle.

Nie Yi, who was confused, left Chang'an City with the secret order Wang Xiao gave him.

This secret order allowed him to openly carry out public smuggling activities without being killed by the border guards.

Logically speaking, such good things can't be asked for.

But Nie Yi knew that there would be no gold in the sky. The emperor gave himself such great benefits. When he needed to ask for a reward, it would definitely be a shocking price.

But he had no choice. If he didn't want to spend the rest of his life on the grassland where there was not even a toilet and the smell of the air was full of stinky air, he could only obey the emperor's arrangements.

After all, the Han Dynasty represents the most advanced, civilized and technological lifestyle in this era.

I won’t mention anything else, and I don’t say anything about going to the toilet. Just saying that I’m sick, the big man has doctors and Chinese herbal medicines.

But what is on the prairie?

There is only the shaman who dances with great gods.

The dancer dances, not like he is treating illnesses, but more like seeing you off.

So, if you really get to the end of your life, no one wants to live on the prairie.
