Daily life in Qin Dynasty

Chapter 168 Han Fei Envoy Qin
Korea.

Purple Orchid.

"he has gone?"

Zinu, who was wearing a long purple dress and held a pot of tea in her hand, walked into the room, walked slowly to Han Fei, poured him a cup of tea, and asked.

"Just left this morning."

Seeing the visitor, Han Fei put down the brush and bamboo slips, gently rubbed the center of his brows, and after soothing the tiredness caused by not sleeping all night, he picked up the teacup and took a sip.

But then he couldn't help but smacked his lips twice, saying: "Tsk~~ It's still not as good as wine!"

Zi Nu rolled her eyes and said, "If you drink any more, you'll really become a drunkard."

"Speaking of which, don't you worry about him? After all, although he is powerful, the opponent he faces this time is a senior who is from the same school as him."

Han Fei spread his hands and said helplessly, "Of course I'm worried about him. But what's the use of worrying? Do you think I can stop him? It hurts a lot when his shark teeth cut on people."

"Besides, there are still many things that I need to worry about now! The heavy snow last winter caused serious damage to various places. Now the warehouse should be opened for disaster relief to avoid further losses. However, when I went to the treasury yesterday to ask for food, I was told that the treasury was out of stock. grain······"

Speaking of this, Han Fei also clenched his fists suddenly, feeling powerless.

Under the command of the South Korean general Ji Wuye, the "Four Evil Generals of the Night", who are in charge of the military, government, finance, and espionage forces, have now gone under the plan of "Quick Sand".

Now Ji Wuye's forces, only the military forces under the control of him and Xue Yihou'Bai Yifei' remained, and they still failed to fall into Han Fei's hands.

The situation under Han Fei's control should be considered good.

However, with the heavy snowstorm last winter, some deeper problems in South Korea were exposed in an instant.

Although South Korea has a small territory, it is not barren.

Quite the opposite.

It is precisely because South Korea's territory is small that it is easier to concentrate resources, so if you don't look at the total amount, South Korea is actually considered a relatively prosperous country among the seven countries.

Logically speaking, based on last year's situation, it is impossible for South Korea to be short of food this year.

However, the reality is that when Han Fei entered the treasury, he found that there was really not much food in it.

This time, it wasn't the conspiracy of Ji Wuye and Xue Yihou.

The lack of food in the national treasury this time is the result of the corruption of all the aristocratic classes in South Korea.

Although South Korea is small, the living standard enjoyed by the royal family and nobles here is even more extravagant and corrupt than the current state of Qin. So where does the money used by these royal family and nobles come from?
The answer is already obvious.

If the lack of food this time was due to Ji Wuye's conspiracy, Han Fei could still think of a way, but if it was a problem for the entire South Korea, then Han Fei alone was not qualified to manage the matter.

South Korea at the moment.

The only person with the right to fix this is one person.

That is the current king of Han.

However, it is a pity that the present Han Wang is also a member of this group of people.

And this was where Han Fei felt the most powerless.

In fact, even if the current King Han is a little bit stronger, Han Fei doesn't expect him to give him much help. As long as he doesn't hold back, then Han Fei's reform of South Korea will be at least several times easier.

But alas, this idea itself is a paradox.

"It's a pity that the 'new grain' we stole from Qin has not yet grown to a sufficient scale, and it lacks the 'new fertilizer' used by Qin. The rice we planted with ordinary fertilizer last year, the yield Probably only increased by about [-]%."

"If we in South Korea can now, like Qin, promote the [first-generation improved rice seed] invented by that guy on a large scale, we don't have to be in such a predicament now."

After finishing speaking, Han Fei couldn't help sighing.

There are regrets, regrets, unwillingness, and regrets in this tone...

years ago.

If Han Fei knew that the 'Mr. Shi' who was doing business with them possessed such a terrifying talent, he would definitely let 'Mr. Shi' stay and join their team 'Quicksand' organization.

"There are still some funds left in Quicksand..."

Zi Nu opened her mouth, then paused for a moment, and continued: "The other person has also deposited a fixed amount of funds in the 'Quick Sand' chamber of commerce. If it really doesn't work, maybe we can..."

Hearing Zi Nu's proposal, Han Fei's eyes flashed with excitement.

But in the end he hesitated and said: "I have already withdrawn the part of the funds from the 'Quick Sand' Chamber of Commerce, and it should last for a while. As for the fixed funds of that person, it is better not to act rashly if possible."

"That guy is not a generous person, and he doesn't have that close relationship with us. In this situation, it would not be a good thing for us to attract his attention again."

"What's more, after this snowstorm, the internal situation in South Korea is not what I am most worried about. What I am most worried about is actually..."

dong dong dong~~~
Before Han Fei finished speaking, he heard a sudden rush of footsteps outside the room.

Immediately afterwards, the door of the room was pushed open suddenly, and Zhang Liang, who was handsome in plain clothes and green shirt, but with a somewhat anxious expression, walked in quickly, and said to Han Fei, "Ninth Young Master, the situation is not good." gone."

Inside the Han Palace.

When Han Fei arrived here, he saw that all the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty had been summoned here by the King of Han.

The prime minister of South Korea and the great general Ji Wuye stood in the forefront of the civil and military ministers.

All the officials were discussing at this moment, and occasionally some of the courtiers' faces showed panic.

And Han Wangan, who was on the throne, also had a bit of unconcealable panic on his face at this time.

"Father."

"Xiao Jiu, you came at the right time. The news just came from the front line. A large group of Qin troops outside Nanyang was suddenly mobilized. Judging from their intentions, it seems that they want to attack Korea. How do you think this matter should be handled?"

"Father, matters in the army should be managed by the general? I wonder what the general thinks about the transfer of the Qin army?" Han Fei turned to look at Ji Wuye.

Facing the point of attack that Han Fei pointed at, Ji Wuye's rough and ugly face showed a slight sneer, and he replied lightly: "This general thinks that the movement of the Qin army is just a normal march. What a fuss."

Han Fei stared at Ji Wuye, and said coldly: "As far as I know, the Qin army is now less than twenty miles away from Nanyang City. This distance has obviously crossed the safety line of the marching formation. Does the general think this is just a normal marching transfer?"

Ji Wuye sneered and said: "It seems that the ninth son is quite proficient in marching and fighting. If this is the case, then it is better for the ninth son to go to the front line and confront the Qin army!"

Ever since the Emerald Tiger, the Trendy Banshee, and the Cloaked Man among the four evil generals of the night were eradicated by 'quick sand' one after another, Han Fei and Ji Wuye have completely torn their faces in the Korean court.

So at this moment, facing Han Fei's doubts, Ji Wuye no longer concealed his nature at all, and sneered directly.

"Okay, Xiao Jiu, stop talking."

At this moment, only Han Wangan, who was on the throne, spoke.

Obviously, facing Ji Wuye's persecution, Han Wangan once again chose to give in.

"Yes!"

Seeing that his father was so weak, Han Fei had no choice but to take a step back temporarily.

"Do the ministers have a good strategy?" After the dispute between Han Fei and Ji Wuye gradually calmed down, Han Wangan turned his attention to other courtiers.

However, in the face of Han Wangan's inquiry, many South Korean ministers looked at me and I looked at you, but in the end no one spoke.

No wonder.

The mobilization of soldiers and horses of the Qin army is obviously military.

But now the entire South Korean army is under the control of Ji Wuye. In this case, if Ji Wuye doesn't speak, it's useless for others to say more.

Seeing that the rest of the courtiers were speechless, Han Wangan had no choice but to focus on Ji Wuye again.

"Does the general have a plan to retreat from the enemy?"

"My lord, now that the Qin State is powerful, it is definitely not a good opportunity to fight, so I think that if the Qin State really wants to attack South Korea this time, the best choice is to seek peace." Ji Wuye said slowly.

"Summation? How to do so?"

Hearing what Ji Wuye said, Han Wang'an's eyes were obviously a little moved.

Just when Ji Wuye was about to continue to say something.

at this time.

Han Fei suddenly stepped forward and said, "Father, my son is willing to send an envoy to the State of Qin to persuade the King of Qin to retreat."

"Ok?"

Han Fei's sudden words made many people in the court startled.

Han Wangan frowned and said, "Xiao Jiu, don't mess around."

Han Fei resolutely said: "My son is not fooling around. If you want to make Qin give up attacking South Korea without spending a single soldier, this is the best choice."

Now Zhang Liang, who had also entered the court as an official, was standing behind the group of officials. Hearing what Han Fei said suddenly, his expression became anxious, and he was about to stand up and say something.

But before he could take any action, the prime minister who was at the top of the civil service came out and asked aloud, "Master Jiu, do you know how dangerous this trip is? If Qin really intends to annex Korea this time, how can Jiu Isn't this young master's move a sheep into a tiger's mouth?"

Han Fei bowed towards the open land, raised his head and said, "Han Fei is naturally clear, but as the saying goes, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't catch a tiger's cub. Given the current situation in South Korea, if you want to survive under the iron heel of Qiang Qin, you have to set aside die and live again.”

At this moment, the corners of Ji Wuye's mouth twitched, and he said: "Prime Minister Zhang, since the ninth son is sure that he can persuade the army of Qin to retreat without a single soldier, then from the point of view of this general, it is better to let him go." So what if he tries."

He opened his eyes and took a deep look at Ji Wuye, but he didn't say much in the end.

Han Wangan on the throne heard the arguments from the people below, hesitated for a while, and said slowly: "In this case, the king will give the ninth son Han Fei a 'scepter', and order him to go to Qin as an envoy to persuade the king of Qin to retreat. .”
