I was engaged in infrastructure construction in the Han Dynasty [Transmigration Book]

Liu Tan was very polite. Although his previous behavior had nothing to do with being polite, he really didn’t want to tear himself apart with Cochin. It’s best to be able to evolve peacefully. After all, fighting really costs money, and crossing mountains and mountains is also very troublesome. .

But he was polite, but the interpreter was dumbfounded. There is no word for ji in the language of Jiaozhi country.

How does this make him translate?

The interpreter was stuck for a long time, and finally said very humblely: "His Royal Highness the King of the Northern Territory, or else...you can tell me what a jiji is first."

Then he can just translate the meaning directly, and use the original pronunciation of the Chinese characters for the word 渻縻.

Liu Tan was stunned, he really didn't think about the problem of translation, but a general interpreter is not worth his explanation.

Fortunately, Miao Rui was with him, otherwise, the interpreter he brought might not really understand what is called a subsidiary country and what is called Jimi County.

Miao Rui and Liu Tan knew all about these things, but on weekdays he didn't show his face, and he didn't speak easily.

At this time, he opened his mouth to explain the meaning of Jumi. Simply put, the Jiaozhi Kingdom still belongs to the Jiaozhi King, but taxes have to be paid every year, and at the same time, the big man has to send troops to station and so on.

Liu Tan was not so tolerant to Lu Xuan when he faced the Cochin Kingdom.

Of course, it has something to do with feelings, but it doesn't have much to do with it. The main reason is that Lu Xuan himself has the heart to return to Han. For such a person who voluntarily defected, even Liu Che would be more tolerant to him, otherwise those conditions would not be agreed.

It is to let Lu Xuan become a flag, so that other small countries in the Western Regions can also see it.

But now it seems that the role of demonstration is not necessary.

The two largest of those small countries in the Western Regions are now under the control of the big man, and the remaining countries are either conquered or restrained. At least the big man's external window is in his own hands.

Now Liu Tan needs to open another window to the outside world.

However, the external window of the Western Regions is for trade, and this external window is for transporting resources from other places to the Han, so the Jiaozhi Kingdom must be firmly controlled by itself.

His plan for the Cochin King is basically to support the Cochin royal family, and the political power, including military power, will be handed over to the big man for management.

Of course, only the Cochin royal family was confessed, and other Cochin officials were still able to participate in political affairs.

If all the Cochin people are excluded, the first thing to do is to subdue them first, but Liu Tan doesn't want to do it, so naturally he has to use his brains in other places, for example... to divide them.

The Cochin royal family sounds like being honored and raised, but in fact it is no different from being a mascot. Then how to divide the power vacated by the royal family's departure is very particular. Those Cochin ministers, don't they want to let their family go further?

Good qualities such as unity, sense of national honor, and loyalty are only available in the great Han in this era. The cohesion of the nomads is built with faith and slavery, and the same is true of the Jiaozhi Kingdom.

Therefore, the lower the people are, the more pious they are, and the higher the people are, the more they can turn their faces at any time, because they only care about their own interests. As for this country...as long as their family can go to the next level, it will be fine. What are they related to?

Liu Tan felt a little regretful that he didn't bring people out at this time, but after thinking about it, even if he wanted to, he wouldn't be able to bring them out. He left, and the workload of others would double.

King Jiaozhi's complexion changed immediately after hearing this, and he immediately refused very coldly: "I admire the ambition of the Han Kingdom, but this Jimi County... Jiaozhi will never be fooled."

It took great courage for King Cochin to say these words. At the same time, he had already signaled to the attendants around him, so that the attendants were ready to call the guards to come in for protection at any time.

However, what he didn't expect was that His Royal Highness King of the Northern Territory didn't get angry after hearing this. Instead, he smiled and said with a good temper: "This matter is of great importance. Your Majesty should think about it again. This king is here this time. The goal has been achieved, so let’s say goodbye.”

After finishing speaking, he left in a very chic way. King Jiaozhi looked at his back in surprise, and he couldn't react for a while—is it over like this?Don't blow up?

After Liu Tan went out, he thought for a while and said, "Let's go and find the prince."

Of course Miao Rui and the others would not object, but the interpreter was driven back by them, and after the interpreter left Liu Tan's side, he turned around and went to another place - Liu Fuling's dormitory.

When he got there, Liu Fuling was talking to the Queen Mother of Qi. Hearing that the interpreter came over, he quickly let him in and asked, "How is it? What did Liu Tan do?"

After the interpreter narrated the matter, even Liu Fuling was a little surprised: "Isn't it? He...he didn't do anything else?"

The interpreter shook his head: "No, King Jiaozhi rejected him, so he left, and now he should go to find His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Liu Fuling looked surprised, he and the Queen Mother of Qi looked at each other, and felt that this was not the same as Liu Tan's personality.

He couldn't help but said, "Could it be that Liu Tan felt that he couldn't figure it out, so he went to ask the prince for help?"

After saying this, he laughed to himself.

As the saying goes, the enemy is the one who understands oneself best, and Liu Fuling did understand Liu Tan quite well, at least he knew that the other party would not be able to retreat so easily.

Queen Mother Qi took the opportunity to say: "In any case, he didn't get any benefit from negotiating with King Jiaozhi for a while, why don't you go and beg His Majesty to get this job back."

Liu Fuling shook his head slowly: "No, he must have other means to come out, and it's useless for me to go now. Father didn't let him take charge of this matter all at once."

Liu Fuling talked for several days without any progress, so Liu Che handed over the matter to Liu Tan.

After trying to understand some things, he knew that many things were not based on his own will. Liu Tan was not the Liu Tan six years ago, and Liu Che was not the Liu Che six years ago, and he was the same.

What he needs to do most now is not to move, but to be still. It is better than anything else to get through this level honestly.

The Empress Dowager Qi was a little anxious, and said a lot to Liu Fuling, so Liu Fuling had no choice but to deal with his mother.

Jumping out of the previous circle, he realized that his mother might really have a way of fighting in the harem, but this way cannot be obtained from the previous court, and using that way to become a prince and consolidate his position can only be done. will be laughed at.

He suddenly understood what Liu Tan meant when he said that it was not a good thing for him to be better than a woman.

But fortunately, he still has a chance. If he really waits until he is over half a hundred to realize it, it may be too late for everything.

It's just that he understood the Queen Mother of Qi, but he still didn't seem to understand. In the end, Liu Fuling had to perfunctory, and made the Queen Mother of Qi believe that he would go to talk to Liu about trouble, while he himself did not show his life.

And Liu Tan doesn't care what Liu Fuling thinks at all, what he's thinking about right now is to take care of King Jiaozhi and return to Chang'an as soon as possible.

The first thing he said after he found Liu Shi was: "Brother, the people under your command should lend me some, and they should be the ones who are eloquent."

Liu Ju asked a little strangely: "Why? King Jiaozhi still refuses to let go?"

Liu Tan sat down and said, "I'm thinking, but I think he's thinking a bit slowly, so I need to help him."

Liu Ju suddenly became interested: "What do you want to do?"

Liu Tan also came over and said, "King Jiaozhi seems to have many sons, and they are not too young. As far as I know, there are also major families behind it, right?"

After hearing this, Liu Ju said mockingly: "A group of mobs are also worthy of being called a big family?"

Liu Tan waved his hand: "It's not important, as long as the local people think it's a big family."

Liu Ju nodded: "That's right, there are six sons of King Jiaozhi over the age of 20, and ten over the age of 15, and there is no crown prince. Do you want to..."

Liu Tan said: "Help them, anyway, we will support whoever cooperates with us."

Liu Ju asked, "How can I help?"

Liu Tan looked down at his hands and said, "You can help me in any way. We can provide money, people and even weapons."

Liu Ju chuckled: "You are trying to make Jiaozhi Kingdom uneasy."

Liu Tan said: "King Cochin is old, full of staleness, and boring, let a new one come up."

Liu Ruo said: "Don't worry about this matter, you will be responsible for negotiating with them about the terms of Jili County when the time comes, and leave the rest to me."

Liu Tan raised his head and glanced at Liu Ju, knowing that Liu Ju was protecting him. As a vassal king, he had meddled in the domestic politics of other countries for too long. Even with Liu Che's approval, Liu Che asked him to negotiate with the Jiaozhi Kingdom. It's not about asking him to change the king of Jiaozhi Kingdom.

He has learned not to be polite with Liu Ju, and said very simply: "Okay."

Since Liu Ju wanted to take care of this matter, Liu Tan turned around and left without asking him what he was going to do.

It's just that as soon as he returned to his yard, he saw Bi Gao greet him and said: "Your Highness, a slave came to send a letter just now, saying that someone wants to see His Highness."

Liu Tan asked, "Who is it?"

Bi Gao said a word with some difficulty, which was the local dialect, and Liu Tan immediately understood that it was an official of the Cochin Kingdom, and that official name translated into Chinese is equivalent to the prime minister of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Tan was not in a hurry to ask someone to answer, but just went in and sat down and opened the document sent by Liu Che before, which contained information on some important officials of the Jiaozhi Kingdom.

Among them, the information about the Prime Minister of the Cochin Kingdom is quite detailed. He is the cousin of the current King Cochin, the elder brother of the abolished queen and the current queen, and the uncle of the eldest prince and nine princes. This family is just like the Xiao family of the Liao Kingdom. For generations of descendants, the queen of Jiaozhi can only come from this family, even if one is abolished, she must marry another woman from this family to be the queen.

It can be said that this family and the Cochin royal family are basically bound together, one is prosperous and the other is damaged, but I don't know... What does he want from him?

After thinking about it again and again, Liu Tan raised his head and said, "Go and return the post to him, and ask him to meet tonight."
