Mrs. Qin Xiangguo

007

Zhao Weizhen looked at Ying Zheng in disbelief.

Her first reaction: The baby is fat and small Yingzheng, maybe it wasn't the rebirth of Zulong, right?

This thought made Zhao Weizhen excited.She carefully looked at the boy for a long time, and asked softly, "Why did Mr. Zheng say that?"

Xiao Yingzheng frowned fiercely.

The three-year-old child's facial features have not yet developed, so it is not surprising to make such an exaggerated expression.Ying Zheng muttered: "No one will kill you, but someone will kill me."

Only then did Zhao Weizhen let out a long sigh of relief.

He had just been hunted down and bullied, so it was normal to think so.

This simple and straightforward logic doesn't sound like an adult, or an adult's pretending.

But being able to think of this level at only three years old is enough to show that Xiao Yingzheng is... very smart.

For a while, Zhao Weizhen's brain circuit changed from "The Eternal Emperor Reborn to Sweep the Six Kingdoms" to "Genius Baby: Stupid Mommy Runs with the Ball".

"But my husband brought the Yiren son back to the country, hoping that he can become the heir of the prince of Qin, An Guojun." Zhao Weizhen said bluntly: "The son of Zheng is the heir of the heir. Compared with my cheap husband, I still take care of you more important."

No matter how smart a three-year-old child is, he may not understand this.

Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment, then fell into deep thought, his small eyebrows were furrowed into a ball, and thoughts flickered in his phoenix eyes.

He is obviously still a little bean, with baby fat pink and tender flesh on his face, but he imitates the adult appearance and puts on an old-fashioned expression, only the top of his head is smoking like a cartoon.

Zhao Weizhen was delighted to see it.

She pinched Xiao Yingzheng's face again: "Stop talking, Mr. Zheng thinks about it for himself, your mother is still waiting for us!"

After finishing speaking, she got up from the front of the case and led Xiao Yingzheng to the main room.

Zhao Ji, who had just sat down, saw Zhao Weizhen, and immediately stood up, her face full of anticipation.

Zhao Weizhen: "..."

Her good mood of being cute by Xiao Yingzheng disappeared without a trace.

To be honest, Zhao Weizhen is not surprised that Zhao Ji would do this.

She was a woman who was abandoned by her husband and brought a three-year-old child with her. Naturally, she was full of panic and helplessness.Now that Zhao Weizhen is here, to Zhao Ji, it is nothing more than a life-saving straw in the torrent.

It's only natural to want to grab it hard.

Just thinking about what Zhao Ji will do in the future...

worry about.

Zhao Weizhen sighed inwardly.

"Mrs. Gui."

She took Xiao Yingzheng by the hand, and said patiently, "I know that you were thrown in the country of Zhao by a foreigner. The orphan and widow were almost killed, so I felt uneasy and fearful. But let me tell you the truth, I won't do it for a while. let's go."

"This--"

"Not only will I not leave, but as soon as the war ended, I immediately wrote to Lu Buwei, asking him to send money and supplies so that I can support my family and take care of the prince. If I want to leave, why ask him for money?"

Zhao Ji's mind was exposed, and she looked a little embarrassed.

But she still had a smile on her face: "Ma'am, I'm worrying too much. I'm only here for Zheng'er. Zheng'er is the son of a foreigner, and he is also of Qin blood. He, he should return to Qin and receive education."

Zhao Weizhen raised his eyebrows.That's what it means to not believe it.

She was about to speak again when Wei Xing came in.

"Ma'am." Wei Xing looked confused: "Mr. Pingyuan...he is here."

"what?"

What is Mr. Pingyuan doing here?

Hearing this, Zhao Ji was startled, and immediately panicked.

"Mr. Pingyuan is here?!" Her voice couldn't help raising her voice: "Then I, shall I take Zheng'er to hide first?"

What are you hiding?Zhao Weizhen complained inwardly, as if Mr. Pingyuan didn't know that you took Xiao Yingzheng carelessly to Lu's Mansion.

"It's too late to run." Zhao Weizhen said, "You still seem guilty, so stay here."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Weizhen stepped forward to cover Xiao Yingzheng.

When Lord Pingyuan entered, she blocked Xiao Yingzheng behind her and bowed her head in salute.

Sure enough, when he saw Zhao Ji and Ying Zheng, Mr. Pingyuan immediately frowned, and asked knowingly, "How could a foreigner's wife and children be in the Lu residence?"

"Back to your majesty."

Zhao Weizhen's tone was humble: "Stop here."

Lord Pingyuan: "..."

She was frank and frank, but on the contrary, he choked Mr. Pingyuan who made a difficult statement.

Not only that, Zhao Weizhen also pretended to be cautious and fearful, quietly raised his eyelids, and asked flatteringly: "Your Majesty, is Your Majesty also here to visit?"

Mr. Pingyuan: "..."

Why is he so angry when talking to Zhao Liang's daughter?

Even though the little woman's expression was reserved, her posture was hurried, and she looked completely helpless and pitiful, but as soon as she opened her mouth, those words made Mr. Pingyuan angry repeatedly.

It can be said that she said something wrong, but in fact she didn't, and Mr. Pingyuan couldn't say it even though he was holding back his anger.

"Lu Buwei sent chariots and horses to deliver things to you." Mr. Pingyuan held back his anger and said, "I'll bring the things over."

"what??"

Hearing this, Zhao Weizhen didn't pretend for a while.

She raised her head directly, her eyes widened: "Lu Buwei...uh...my husband sent something, why did you come up to deliver it?"

Mr. Pingyuan is even more angry!

He waved his hand and left.

Not long after, more than a dozen people and several boxes were carried into the courtyard of Lu Mansion in an endless stream.

Not to mention Zhao Ji, even Zhao Weizhen was dumbfounded.

Lu Buwei is quite capable, so he asked Mr. Pingyuan to deliver something? !

She wrote to ask for money, thinking that Lu Buwei would give some cash and some supplies, enough turnover would be enough.But she didn't expect that she completely underestimated the arrogance of her cheap husband——

"Ten boxes of furs, ten boxes of cloth, five boxes of jewelry, five jars of salt, and one thousand gold." Mr. Pingyuan sarcastically said, "In order to deliver these things to you, Lu Buwei also sent another thousand taels to my house." I'll give you the gold too, I can't afford it."

Zhao Weizhen... Zhao Weizhen couldn't care less about talking.

"Why, why don't Mrs. Meng Wei write another letter to my husband, asking him to send some supplies and buy Zhao Guoyi?" Mr. Pingyuan said again.

Zhao Weizhen came back to his senses suddenly.

That's it!

The most expensive of these things is not fur jewelry but salt.

Qin State does not produce salt, but Wei State produces salt. This batch of materials and gold was transferred from Wei State after Lu Buwei received the letter.

Thinking of this, Mr. Pingyuan felt aggrieved.

Lu Buwei, a villain, was afraid that the smuggling of supplies would make the people of Zhao jealous, so he simply transported the goods from Wei to his house openly, and frankly sent a thousand taels of gold, saying that he was afraid that his wife would be alone in Handan, so he sent some food to him she.I hope Mr. Pingyuan, as his wife's elder, can transfer these goods to Zhao Weizhen.

His people can't wait to beat gongs and drums to enter the door, what else can Mr. Pingyuan say?

Everyone in Handan knows that Mr. Pingyuan and Zhao Liang are a pair of bamboo horses, and they are both Zhao Weizhen's elders in terms of emotion and reason.

Mr. Pingyuan kicked Lu Buwei out with the front foot, and some people probably said that she was harsh on the daughter of a friend with the back foot.Besides, after the Battle of Handan was over, King Zhao's anger disappeared, and he didn't need to be aggressive with Zhao Weizhen, it seemed that he was a petty elder.

It is not incomprehensible for an elder to take care of a junior who is lonely and separated from her husband, so Mr. Pingyuan had to hold back his anger and give things away.

The more you think, the more angry you are.

Regardless of Zhao Ji's presence, he scolded directly: "Zhao Liang gave birth to a daughter, but he gave birth to an ancestor for me!"

Zhao Weizhen didn't even think about it: "Where can I have such a blessing."

Mr. Pingyuan: "You!"

Zhao Weizhen suppressed his smile: "Quickly, Wei Xing, pick a box of high-quality fur and cloth, and move the five jars of salt to Pingyuanjun's mansion-Your Majesty must not want it, you don't want Lu Buwei's stuff, You can't take away Zhao Liang's daughter's things."

This nature is different.

As the daughter of his friend, Zhao Weizhen should honor Pingyuan Lord with gifts.Hearing what she said, Mr. Pingyuan's face looked a little better.

She said a few more good words, coaxed Pingyuan Jun who was so angry that his nose was twisted and his mouth was twisted, and then respectfully sent him out.

As soon as Mr. Pingyuan's people leave and the gate is closed, Zhao Weizhen can't wait to jump high on the spot happily.

Unexpectedly, her cheap husband is not only generous, but also quite smart!

When Zhao Weizhen saw the goods, he understood the general idea: what he wanted to send Mr. Pingyuan was not the daughter at all, but the five jars of salt.

In this day and age, salt is more important than gold.Lu Buwei even showed one thing to Mr. Pingyuan: he can pick salt.

Just ask you about the pool salt business, Mr. Pingyuan, will you do it?

"Look, I'm not lying." Zhao Weizhen said to Zhao Ji: "Isn't this something delivered? It's enough for me to use for ten years. I'll ask my servants to send some to your natal family. Remember to make a few more for Mr. Zheng Nice clothes."

Zhao Ji, she...she couldn't speak at all.

Seeing her appearance, Wei Xing curled his lips secretly: Are you stunned?Sure enough, I didn't know.

Zhao Weizhen didn't care.

She took Ying Zheng's hand again: "Come on, Mr. Zheng chooses for himself, and takes whatever he likes."

The yard was full of cargo boxes, and Zhao Weizhen couldn't keep his mouth shut for a while.

The servants were counting the goods, and Wei Xing came over: "Madam, you think the master still cares about you, right?"

That's true.

There are so many things, and Chi Yan is directly displayed, which is enough to show that Lu Buwei is not just perfunctory her.

Based on this, Mr. Pingyuan has to support Mrs. Lu Zhao Weizhen, so that she has the confidence to gain a foothold in Handan.

She led Xiao Yingzheng around the mountain of supplies, and said, "Wei Xing, do you think it's okay to arrange someone to deliver letters to me and Lu Buwei?"

Wei Xing was shocked.

It is indeed inconvenient to communicate with each other.The master and his wife live separately, which means frequent correspondence in the future.

Wei Xing understood: Madam still has feelings for Master, right?

What I usually say is ugly, it's all about the love of husband and wife. In fact, my wife refuses to admit it, but my heart must still be towards the master!

"It's easy." Wei Xing vowed, "I'll arrange manpower and a good horse to deliver letters to Madam from now on."

Even if you can't do it, you have to do it!Wei Xing thought to himself.

Zhao Weizhen didn't know what Wei Xing was thinking, she just saw that Lu Buwei was so generous and realized a very serious problem.

Lu Buwei will not be so generous every time.

He is a businessman with a deep understanding of the key points of interest.I gave away so many things today, so I may not give them every time.If Zhao Weizhen only asks and does not return, it might be a one-shot deal.

Thinking of this, she looked at Xiao Yingzheng who was curiously inspecting the goods in the yard.

Before life and death, Zhao Weizhen was afraid that changing the direction of history would put Yingzheng in danger, but the situation is different now.

Now that Xiao Yingzheng's life is not in danger, Zhao Weizhen began to consider other aspects.

Zhao Ji and Ying Zheng are not that important in the eyes of Qin people and Lu Buwei.If they want them to pay attention to themselves and Ying Zheng in Zhao State, they have to find another way and have to do something to change the direction of history.

Lu Buwei's intention of marrying Zhao Weizhen was to deceive others. One day after the marriage, he ran away overnight, which was regarded as indirectly "forced" to death. Zhao Weizhen couldn't easily forgive him just because of this.

But Zhao Weizhen can do business with him.

What kind of "goods" can be given to Lu Buwei so that he, and even the state of Qin, will not regard them as abandoned sons and pay attention to them?

Other travelers are making glass and gunpowder. Zhao Weizhen, a liberal arts student, is unlikely to lead Daqin into the industrial age.

But in the pre-Qin period, there was no need for such exaggeration.

There is one thing that Zhao Weizhen can do, and it can make the Qin army's combat ability leap by a thousand miles——

She can give Lu Buwei a sketch of the harness of later generations.

In the pre-Qin era, infantry was the main force. The reason is that the cavalry in this era is not as good as it will be in the future.

Because there are no stirrups and saddles in this era, you can't sit firmly on horseback, and you can only play the role of surprise and shooting.As long as the charging speed is fast, it is easy to take the enemy off the horse, so when swinging a knife or shooting an arrow, you must stop the horse and fight on the spot.

Moreover, there were no horseshoes in the pre-Qin period.

The horseshoe has only one layer of cuticle to buffer the friction with the ground, so the horse is consumed very quickly in war.All the cavalry wanted to take care of their war horses like BMWs, so as not to injure the soles of their feet.

This completely loses the role of the horse in battle.

The appearance of stirrups, saddles and horseshoes can be said to have completely changed ancient warfare.

With stirrups and saddles, the cavalry can free their hands and be completely integrated with the horse. When charging into battle, the cavalry does not need to stop the horse, so that the cavalry can reload and go into battle, allowing the heavy cavalry in the European Middle Ages to sweep the plains; The feet are protected and the friction with the ground is increased. Only then did Temujin's cavalry occupy most of the Eurasian continent.

Thinking of this, she gained confidence.

At the end of the Warring States period, iron ware gradually began to replace bronze ware. It is recorded in "Historical Records: Biography of Huozhi": "Bashu is also fertile and wild, and the land is full of utensils such as scorpion, ginger, dansha, stone, copper, iron, bamboo, and wood."

During the period of King Qin Huiwen, the strategy was changed from "going east" to "going south". Sima wrongly conquered Ba and Shu for the sake of salt, iron, manpower and grain warehouses far away from the Central Plains.

Zhao Weizhen remembers that in the vicinity of the Three Gorges area, there is no shortage of iron artifacts from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, including weapons and agricultural tools. It can be seen that in the late Warring States period, iron ore was more than enough to make horseshoes.

And she has a good memory. Zhao Weizhen clearly remembers the styles of the Yuan and Ming Dynasty antiques displayed in the museum.

Just put it in the pre-Qin period, wouldn't everyone in the state of Qin look at Lu Buwei with admiration?

The more she thought about it, the happier she became: If Qin State paid more attention to it, Xiao Yingzheng could return to Qin as soon as possible!

"Lu Buwei is indeed sincere."

Zhao Weizhen smiled and said, "I won't call him Guisun from now on."

Wei Xing was overjoyed: "Madam, this is really not appropriate, at least it is—"

Zhao Weizhen: "Go up to the next generation, son of a bitch."

Wei Xing: "..."
