Chapter 1796 Peace talks
"If we say so, even if we obtain it, we will still have no roots?" Zhang Song frowned and said, "Those who do this are somewhat subject to Kushan."
"There is indeed a problem in this aspect, but now we do not have the strength to deal with the entire Kushan." Qin Mi shook her head, "I mean, accept the Kushan tribute first, and then let's talk about other things."
"That's all. We are far from reaching Kushan now. Building a road from Chengdu to here is more important than anything else." Cheng Ji said with a headache, "I think we might have to stay here for a long time."
"It's better to stay for a long time, it can shock Kushan. Moreover, we need a lot of information about Kushan now, whether it's humanistic, political, or military. Our understanding of Kushan is almost gone." Zhang Songxu said with a serious expression on the table.
"Don't worry, after you go back, we will still be stationed here. Have you ever seen any omissions in doing things for me?" Zhang Su said with a smile, "I have discussed with Ziyuan and prepared to reopen the Southern Silk Road. Miss Wu can communicate on his behalf."
Everyone heard this and laughed. Everyone knew that the eldest lady of the Wu family had a good family, and the fuss was quite big, because Wu Yuan was originally planning to marry Liu Zhang's third brother, but later Wu Yuan hid in Mount Tai or Yecheng.
It is said that he was protected by a big shot, and Liu Mao died because of his health. Wu Yi drove his own sister out of the house because he was concerned about Liu Zhang's face. In short, this matter was left unresolved.
After that, Wu Yuan had no news. It seemed that there was no news. Yizhou was relatively closed. Many major events in the world were not participated in, and the news was relatively closed, so this matter was just used as a topic of discussion.
As a result, Zhang Su is shaking it out like this. Although Zhang Song and others have long known that Wu Yi is not very pure, they really didn't expect that Wu Yuan can communicate on his behalf. This is not a trivial matter. Opening up the Southern Silk Road is not a simple sentence, just a few people have just gone there.
That is a real transfer. The merchants need not only one or two. If they really need 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 families behind them, will need to cooperate with this path.
With a simple sentence, the connections that the Wu family currently has is really not a joke.
"I'm very curious, Ziyuan, how many people can your sister bring?" Wang Lei suddenly asked curiously, and the others also looked at Wu Yi.
"My sister is probably more powerful than me, the incompetent brother. She is considered the vice president of the management personnel in the Taishan Chamber of Commerce." Wu Yi said with a wry smile. He himself didn't believe that his sister could sit at this height.
Although Wu Yi took care of his sister, after Liu Mao's death, he handed over half of his network to Wu Yuan and allowed Wu Yuan to use the name of the Wu family, Wu Yuan was indeed scared by the vice presidents of the Taishan Chamber of Commerce, which was in charge of 70% of the world's commercial affairs.
Of course, there are indeed many coincidences here. After all, the Wu family was one of the early members to join, and they were indeed rich in financial resources. More importantly, when the Yecheng League was held, Chen Xi was very satisfied with the map given by the Wu family.
After a while, the Wu family was selected when they expanded their organization. At that time, Wu Yuan lived with Liu Bei, and Mrs. Gan had to take care of Adou. In addition, she didn't understand this, so she took the authority more as a talisman, and Zhang didn't have much time to do it at that time.
Therefore, Zhang's share was given more to Zhen Mi, and Gan's family did not have any closeness to capable juniors. They were from small families and were a little cautious in their current position. If they didn't manage it, they felt that they were in a position of corpse. Unfortunately, they really couldn't find anyone.
Originally, Gan wanted to hand it over to Zhen Mi to handle the matter, but Zhang refused to avoid suspicion, which led to Mrs. Gan even more not knowing what to do. Fortunately, Wu Yuan appeared at this time.
Wu Yuan was born into a wealthy family and had a completely different identity from Zhen Mi. The two families were both face-saving families. In fact, Wu Yuan, who was a wealthy businessman, naturally, was also a great man. Wu Yuan lived in Liu Bei for quite some time, and he could talk to the Gan family for a few days.
After a long time, Gan learned about Wu Yuan's identity, so he handed over the part of his later part to Wu Yuan. Since then, the three giants of the Chamber of Commerce have become, Mi Zhen, who represents Mi Zhu, Zhen Mi, who represents Zhang, and Wu Yuan, who represents Gan.
It just so happened that this era was in an era of shame and business talk. Chen Xi didn’t think there was any problem with the whole thing. It was only a villain and a woman who was difficult to raise. Mi Zhu was embarrassed to do some things, but there was nothing wrong with the three of them.
After the Chamber of Commerce expanded again, with Chen Xi's suggestion, three more vice-chairmen were added. Zhang directly resigned and gave full power to Zhen Mi. Wu Yuan obtained a position belonging to the Wu family. The two Wei families refused to bow their heads. Chen Xi gave a position, and the last position was naturally left for Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang.
As a result, Wu Yuan really settled in the position of vice president at the beginning of the year and had a lot of resources, but she was completely tied to the ship. She probably didn't plan to go back to the Wu family. In short, this person is doing well.
Everyone looked at each other. Although they didn't look down on businessmen very much, the presidents of the Chamber of Commerce really would not underestimate them. The resources held by those people are not a big problem in a short period of time. Those people are truly rich people.
"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." Wu Yi immediately explained when he saw everyone's skeptical expression.
"Will you tell me that your sister almost started from scratch and worked hard to create such a huge family business?" Zhang Song rolled his eyes and said, "What a joke."
"No, I did give my sister a lot of help, but you all have been working with me in the past two years, and you can probably see the situation in my family." Wu Yi said with a wry smile, "To be honest, now the Wu family is probably only me and my sister still have a slight sibling friendship."
Wu Yuan was not joking when the Wu family wanted to clean up the run away, right? Wu Yuan said she wanted to marry Liu Mao, but Wu Yuan ran away under Wu Yi's indulgence.
It’s also a pity that Liu Yan did not pass the throne to Liu Mao when he died, and Liu Mao died soon after, otherwise Wu Yi might not be able to stabilize the Wu family’s clan elders.
Everyone present showed an incredible look, but in the end they had to nod. Although the Wu family had made many mistakes in the past two years, Wu Yi had never done anything that would lose his identity.
"So you don't think too well. Although I am his brother, after all, public is public and private is private. I can guarantee that the conditions are better than those given by others, but I'm afraid there is some difference from what you think." Wu Yi gave these people a vaccination without thinking.
The civil officials nodded silently. They found that there was nothing to be surprised after accepting this reality. There was no female wealthy businessman in Bashu. Four hundred years ago, the money that Ba widow Qing had was equivalent to 800 million taels of silver and more than 5 million taels of gold. Wu Yuan was drizzling.
Guanxi places like Sichuan, Sichuan, Yongliang and other places are more tolerant of women than other places. After all, in the past few hundred years, this place either produces women, businessmen or talented women. Three of the four most talented women in ancient China (five) are in their hometowns in this area.
"Ziyuan is relieved. It's not his own thing anyway, so I don't feel sorry for using it." Huang Quan said with a big wave of his hand, "And there is such a way. After Zi ordered him to go back, there will be many places we use."
"Well, indeed, Ji Xiu, after I go back, you will take my position as a substitute, collect and organize all the information about Kushan, cooperate with Kushan merchants, and obtain the real Kushan records as possible." Qin Mi said to Yang Hong.
"As for what happened after going back, if you sacrifice to the Taimiao, I think there will be some other things happening." Although Qin Mi is not a person with super wise nature, she still has normal political IQ. "If possible, it would be enough to end at that time."
"It's a pity that there has never been a matter of peace since ancient times when you have the strength to fight." Zhang Song sighed and said, "If the lord goes there, we will also go and testify. We always feel that something big will happen at that time."
"Don't be crows." Zhang Su said to Zhang Song angrily, "The situation of sacrificing the Taimiao in Chang'an cannot be better. The three families meet the emperor at the same time. This is the emperor's opportunity, and it is also a disaster that the emperor must overcome."
"As for all our previous estimates of Liu Xuande, we can see clearly this time." Zhang Su glanced at everyone and said, knowing very well that many of these people had a good impression of Liu Bei, and even he himself could not avoid the vulgarity.
Everyone was silent when they heard this, and Zhang Su didn't care too much. Instead, Zhang Song coughed twice, "See if there is any chance. If so, you can solve the trouble of the Five Dok Rice Sect."
"Don't hold too much hope." Zhang Su warned. Zhang Song just smiled. Whether he succeeded or not was too important to him. He went to the show more. After all, even with his wisdom, he could not determine what happened to the three families gathered in Chang'an to sacrifice to the Taimiao.
"Zi Qiao, you think about it. If three families gather together in Chang'an to worship the Taimiao, there will be undercurrents." Zhang Su warned solemnly.
"Okay, okay, I know all these things very well. How could those three civil officials under us not think of? When they go to worship the Taimiao, the biggest problem is not the undercurrent formed by others, but the conflict between the three parties." Zhang Song waved his hand and said.
"Just be mentally prepared." Zhang Su nodded and said. He trusted Zhang Song's ability. He was just worried that Zhang Song didn't put it on, so everything would be useless.
Then Zhang Su stopped talking and began to discuss with Li Hui, Cheng Ji, Lu Kai and others how to control various vassal states of the Indochina Peninsula, and Gao Pei and others began to lead troops to clean up.
"Report, General, Kushan has an envoy coming." A few days later, at noon, a group of people were handling official duties in groups of three or three, Gao Pei came over with a messenger.
"It seems that Kushan's speed is faster than we thought." Zhang Song said with a smile, "Please come in."
The messenger turned around and left after hearing this, and a group of civil and military officials began to quickly sort out their positions, then sat in the right position. After they took their posture, the Kushan envoy was finally led to the Han army's tent.
This time it was very different from the Kushan envoys that Li Xin had seen before. At least this time the costumes worn by the Kushan envoys were already Han people's clothing, and the etiquettes they presented were all orthodox Han etiquettes. Although they were not very skilled, it can be seen that the other party did put in effort in this aspect.
"Dear General Yan, our commander General Brah will pay you a high respect and ask the general to accept the bets agreed upon." After the bow, the Kushan envoy took a map made of sheepskin from his deputy envoy and presented it to Yan Yan with both hands.
Yan Yan took the scroll, opened it with both hands, and glanced over and knew that this map represented the land of half a hundred dynasty, which was the so-called offering map. He nodded at Kushan with satisfaction. Although they did not intend to occupy the place, Kushan's approach made them very satisfied.
"We have received the sincerity of Kushan. We plan to re-unblock the Southern Silk Road and build a city here. I wonder if Kushan is willing to re-establish diplomatic relations with us." Yan Yan rolled up the map, put it aside, and said to him.
"We are willing to re-establish relations with the Han Dynasty and share with the Han Dynasty again, and jointly maintain the stability of the western region from Wenga to Parkson." The Kushan envoy nodded and said to everyone with his heart.
"In this way, the Kushan and the Han Dynasty will be like brothers." Yan Yan said with a stern look.
The Kushan envoy came to discuss peace talks, and what they might say, and the corresponding answers were answered. Zhang Su and others had taught Yan Yan early in the morning. They even reminded them early on what to say and what not to say. As for the details, the civil servants naturally solved it themselves when they turned back.
As for the framework of the peace talks between the letter of state, it was naturally presented to Liu Zhang as a spoil and tributed to the emperor.
After that, the two convenient submitted the drafted regulations to each other, which were all loose frameworks. The remaining complicated parts need to be discussed after the civil officials of both sides met. After receiving the documents, the Kushan envoy came this time was basically done, but the other party did not leave.
