Chapter 277

"My son has met my father!" Fusu bowed to Qin Shihuang.

Qin Shihuang, who was standing by the door, grabbed Fusu and smiled and said, "Fusu is free. Fusu, you have a good talk. Come on, sit down and talk to your father." Qin Shihuang grabbed Fusu and sat down.

Fusu asked curiously: "It's a good talk, how did the father know?"

Qin Shihuang smiled and said, "It was Mr. Zhou and Chen Ping who told his father."

Fusu was even more surprised and said, "Mr. Zhou and Chen Ping and the others finished talking to Erchen and went back home. Erchen rushed over and didn't see them. They wouldn't run to Erchen?"

Qin Shihuang squeezed Fusu's nose with kindness and said, "Silly boy! Mr. Zhou and Chen Ping naturally did not come to see their father, but they didn't come. This just means that you have a good conversation.

"He glanced at Fusu, who was still not very clear, and smiled and said, "Fusu, think about it, if the talks are not good, Mr. Zhou and Chen Ping will not come to see your father with you? Aren't they afraid that the father will be angry and ask you for guilt, and at least they have to come and make excuses you.

They didn't come, which means you had a good talk and a good talk. OK!"

I said a few good things in a row, and my joy was beyond words.

This is the first time Fusu dealt with state affairs. He was able to negotiate well, which shows that his talent was good. His hard work was not in vain. Could Qin Shihuang be unhappy? Not to mention Qin Shihuang, any father is very happy when facing the achievements of his children. It is normal for human nature!

Fusu had to admire Qin Shihuang's insight and said humbly: "This is the result of the cultivation of the father. If it were not for the careful arrangement of the father, the sons would not have been today."

Qin Shihuang stroked Fusu's forehead lovingly and said, "Fusu, if you can remember your father's goodness, your father is happy. He is happy.

"Crystal tears rolled in his eyes, and almost flowed down, saying, "I remember that my father caressed your forehead like this. It was a lot from many years ago. My father seemed to have returned to the past. I was so excited when I thought of my father being a father at that time.

Unexpectedly, in a blink of an eye, Father’s Fusu grew up and became able to do it, so Father’s reassurance would be relieved.”

These words were very affectionate, and Fusu also held back his tears and said, "The true love my father has for his son will never be forgotten."

Qin Shihuang nodded and said with a solemn face: "You can achieve today's results not only by the careful arrangement of the father, but also by Mr. Zhou's efforts. Don't forget this."

"My father's teachings are kept in mind and will never forget Mr. Zhou's teachings." Fusu nodded and obeyed the order.

Qin Shihuang changed the topic and said, "I'm going too far, I won't talk about these things anymore. Come on. Fusu, tell my father about the past."

Fusu responded and said, "Father, my son will follow your arrangement. Go and talk to Sulu.

As the father expected, the most feared thing about the Huns was that the Qin and Donghu joined forces to deal with the Huns. The son-in-law lied that the Donghu sent envoys to Xianyang and were discussing with the Qin how to deal with the Huns. Xuluo was afraid when he heard this and asked the Qin and the Huns to deal with the Donghu together."

Qin Shihuang analyzed: "For the Donghu and the Xiongnu, it is not themselves who determine their life and death, but us. It is the father.

Maodun will not see this. He will definitely fight for the support of Daqin at any cost. At least he will have to exchange for the two unsuccessful help from Daqin before he dares to take action.

Maodun destroyed Donghu in history because of the civil strife in China and was unable to look north, so he dared to use force decisively. If the Qin Dynasty had not perished at that time, Maodun would not dare to go without the consent of China. God's will!

"Father, the emperor is wise!" Fusu reported the results of the negotiations. He said: "The Huns first said that they would pay tribute to us 3,000 good horses every year. After hard work, they agreed to pay 5,000 tribute to us every year."

Qin Shihuang nodded and said, "Five thousand pieces. Not bad, this is not a small number. But it is still not enough."

"What the father said is very true." Fusu agreed with Qin Shihuang's view and said: "Other land horses can be obtained through border trade. The son-in-law has negotiated with Suro to carry out trade at the border.

The Qin Dynasty traded tea, silk, porcelain and the Huns.

The son-in-law thought that the horses of the Xiongnu could be sold at a high price in the mainland. If the imperial court secretly bought them, the merchants would definitely use these to exchange for the horses of the Xiongnu. In this way, the number of horses in China could increase.

Qin Shihuang agreed: "If you do this, you can get more horses, but you will have to spend more money. However, it is difficult to get a large number of horses from the Huns without this, and this is a good idea.

"For the people of the Huns, the land they most wanted to get was a necessity for daily life such as tea, silk and porcelain from Daqin. But for Maodun, what he wanted to get the most was the iron and food from Daqin. Did Sulu mention it?"

Fusu was convinced by Qin Shihuang's wisdom and said, "Father, wise! Sulu mentioned that they not only need iron and food, but also Chinese weapons."

"How did you answer?" Qin Shihuang asked.

Fusu replied: "My son said that the Qin Dynasty wished the Xiongnu and the Donghu to reconcile forever. If they sold their weapons, it would be like letting the grassland use wars again, and there would be no peace, so Mr. Monk was not sure.

Suro repeatedly asked, and finally, the son-in-law agreed to sell them some weapons, but only for melee weapons such as swords and guns, and bows and arrows and crossbows would not be sold to them."

Qin Shihuang laughed and said, "Fusu, did you think that the Qin Dynasty confiscated a lot of weapons during the destruction of the six kingdoms. These weapons were outdated and backward, and they were not very useful for Daqin. They sold them to the Huns, but they would instead be treasured, so they agreed?"

Fusu Di really thought so, saying, "Nothing can be hidden from my father."

"The father was thinking that these weapons were useless, so they could only be melted and then cast. Unexpectedly, you found a good business and handled it well!" Qin Shihuang praised: "Did you agree to sell some food to them?"

Historically, after Qin Shihuang unified the world, he confiscated many weapons. The weapons of the six countries have their own standards. Unlike the standard weapons of Qin, it was difficult to implement in the army. In the end, Qin Shihuang decided to melt them and then cast them. This was a measure that must be taken at that time.

Unfortunately, later generations used this to ridicule Qin Shihuang for his cruelty and listed the "sweeping Fengdi" as one of the tyrannys, which is a pity!

Fusu replied: "Go back to my father, my son agreed."

Qin Shihuang commented: "When autumn is when the grass is fat, the horses of the Huns can gain weight, fight bad wars and tough battles. Therefore, the time when the Huns' army has the strongest combat effectiveness is autumn, and other seasons are not very good.

If the army wants to have strong combat power all year round, it must use fine grain to feed war horses. Maodun wants food in China, which must be used to feed horses. Other land attacks will not be chosen in autumn, but at other times, which will catch Donghu off guard.

"Fusu, do you want to sell some food to the Huns first, and then cut it off after Maodun destroyed the Donghu. In that way, the Huns' combat power will decrease, and the autumn will return to the country, which will reduce the threat to China?"

"That's what my son thought." Fusu told the truth, "My son is bold and asks my father to forgive me."
