Chapter 127 What? Smallpox Has Been Eradicated?!
Wu Yunguo Khan was ready to leave for the capital of Jingguo, and no one could persuade him to leave.
He had to leave immediately.
"If you go one day later, the silver deposited in the Jingguo bank will lose a penny of interest." The loss was huge.
Wu Yunguo Khan was determined to visit the emperor of Jingguo.
He was not doing it out of brotherhood, but because he was greedy for the interest of the Jingguo bank!
"Now that the trade has been opened, most of the people of Jingguo have deposited their silver in the Jingguo bank, and the people of Wu Yunguo can only watch." Wu Yunguo Khan frowned.
"I have heard a lot of complaints recently."
During the period before the Chinese New Year, most of the people of Jingguo received two months of interest at the border of the two countries, and bought New Year goods, candies and melon seeds... and celebrated the New Year happily.
This interest is actually not much. Most of the first wave of people waited and watched, and at most they only saved a few taels of silver.
The interest is only a dozen coins, but it can't be resisted. This is a free joy falling from the sky.
At the border of the trade, the people of Jing who received interest were all very happy. They were happy from the day before the Chinese New Year and told everyone about it until the seventh or eighth day of the first lunar month.
The greetings in the past changed from "Have you eaten?" to "Hey, have you received the interest?"...
The people of Jing were tired of showing off to their own people, and gradually targeted the people of Wu Yun who came to the trade.
The greatest happiness in the world is - I have what you don't have. Moreover, I get it without any effort!
The people of Wu Yun suddenly became the best objects for the people of Jing to show off!
Show off every day, show off when trading, show off when meeting people, show off when leaving...
Anyway, the ants of Wu Yun who passed by could not escape the show-off of getting free interest from the Jing bank!
After a long time, the head of the Khan of Wu Yun began to hurt.
The people of Wu Yun began to make a fuss!
They also want to deposit money in the bank! They also want this free interest!
The two territories are clearly intersecting, only a dozen steps apart, why do they have it and they don't?
"Khan, why don't we write a letter to ask Jingguo, and we can also imitate them to set up a Wu Yunguo bank..."
The princes below proposed, but the Khan was overwhelmed when he heard it.
They live as nomads, and the number of fixed trading shops is much less than that of Jingguo.
Not to mention the bank? To collect so much money, return it in full when it is due, and add interest...
The Khan felt a headache when he imagined it.
Their tribes often fight.
If one tribe robs the deposits of another tribe's bank, it will be a big bag.
The Khan took a deep breath, "No need to persuade me anymore. I want to go to Jingguo this time and talk to them about the possibility that our Wu Yunguo also deposited money with them."
"If they, Jingguo, don't return it and swallow ours..."
The Khan shook his head, "We don't have much silver. I'm considering discussing with the Emperor of Jingguo to use war horses and sheep instead of silver to deposit."
The eyes of the minister of Wu Yunguo lit up.
This is a good idea. There are surplus livestock on the grassland. If Jingguo withholds it and doesn't return it, they can also use the mutual trade to contain the other party and make them return the rice.
"So, I want to go once, and you don't need to persuade me anymore." Wu Yunguo Khan was not confident to let the envoys go to discuss such a big matter.
More importantly, he wanted to meet the Emperor of Jingguo to judge whether the other party was worthy of Wu Yunguo's trust and let Wu Yunguo people get interest from Jingguo's money bank.
If the Emperor of Jingguo was unreliable, he didn't intend to mention the money bank.
"I will also bring a few grassland warriors to show the style of our Wu Yunguo to Jingguo."
When the ministers of Wu Yunguo heard this, they all agreed.
But just after the discussion, the messenger of Jingguo came.
As soon as he entered the imperial tent, he had to salute.
"Dear Khan of Wu Yunguo, the Emperor of Jingguo suggests that you go slowly, because my Jingguo is about to do a national event, which will be implemented from the capital first."
"Huh?" The Khan was stunned.
Another big event?
Did Jingguo stir up a big event?
It has only been a short time, and they have traded with them and opened a bank. These are all big events. How can Jingguo have other things?
"Well, the emperor wants to eliminate the serious disease in the world in Jingguo - smallpox."
"!"
Not only the Khan of Wu Yunguo, but also the ministers were stunned for a moment.
Did they hear it right?
Especially the Khan. Three years ago, his youngest son, the most beloved child, died of smallpox.
Even the Khan's child is incurable.
What did the Emperor of Jing say? To eradicate smallpox in Jing?
"How... is this possible?"
The ministers of Wu Yunguo did not believe it. They looked at the envoy with unfriendly eyes and irritable temper. "If you, Jingguo, don't want our Khan to go, just say it directly!"
"What big talk are you still talking about? Eradicate smallpox? It's been ten years or a hundred years. You don't want our Khan to go to the capital of Jingguo, right?"
The Khan of Wu Yunguo also looked extremely unhappy.
Indeed, this is too much like an excuse for delay!
Jingguo could use any other excuse, but it had to use smallpox.
Smallpox made him lose his beloved son, which is his eternal pain!
There is an old saying on their grasslands that children who have not had smallpox are considered to have not been born yet.
Only children who survive smallpox are considered real people!
There are too many children who die of smallpox every year, almost four out of ten.
Wu Yunguo Khan was extremely angry, "Okay, since Jingguo is so bold, I will wait!"
"I hope the Emperor of Jingguo will keep his promise. If smallpox does not end, don't even think about asking me to step into Jingguo in this life! Including my envoys, the same goes!"
Wu Yunguo has always respected force and has a very explosive temper.
"Khan, is this because Jingguo has tasted the sweetness of mutual trade and no longer takes us seriously?"
"Why don't we go to Chuguo for mutual trade!"
"That's right! I can't stand this bird's anger!"
The envoy of Jingguo was sweating profusely after hearing this.
That night, the envoy rushed back to Jingguo from the Wuyun Emperor's tent. He changed six horses on the way and did not dare to rest. Seven days later, he rushed into the Ministry of Rites covered in dust.
"Superior, it's not good! The Khan of Wuyun got the news and was furious. He wanted to cancel the trade!"
But before he could tell the whole story, he saw his superior hurriedly recruiting troops.
Seeing him was even more joyful.
"Eh? You came back from Wuyun so soon? I was just about to send a new envoy to deliver the letter!"
The envoy was overjoyed, "But the emperor wants to withdraw the smallpox agreement?"
That would be great.
"Everyone in Wuyun thinks that our country is deliberately delaying and does not want to see their Khan. They are very angry!"
"If the emperor can withdraw the smallpox talk and send someone to apologize, it's still not too late--"
But before he finished speaking, he was stopped by his superior.
"What withdrawal, what apology? Don't talk nonsense."
The official of the Ministry of Rites was almost scared to death.
He put his hands behind his back and looked towards the distant grassland with a proud look on his face.
"Although smallpox has not been eradicated in the thirteen days you have been there, we have made some progress."
Messenger: "?"
The official of the Ministry of Rites smiled, "The emperor is afraid that Wu Yunguo Khan will be anxious, so he asked me to send a new envoy to tell him about our progress."
Messenger: "!"
What? He has made progress in the thirteen days since he went there?
[Oh, Emperor Dad, there is a new task! ]
Xiao Yunzhou was listening to the new research on smallpox vaccination by the Imperial Hospital, and teasing his daughter from time to time.
But suddenly, his daughter exclaimed, and he stood up solemnly.
The fairy world has another task for him, the emperor of the human world?
Even if the imperial physician was there, Xiao Yunzhou stood up straight.
He, the emperor of the human world, can't sit and listen to the fairy world task!
There must be some distinction between superiors and subordinates!
Xiao Yunzhou immediately looked at his precious little princess humbly.
Then Chuchu's inner voice was heard.
[New mission: Reverse the death of Wu Yunguo's crown prince from smallpox. ]
[Mission deadline: Within 30 days, if no measures are taken, the other party will be infected with smallpox and die. ]
[Punishment: The diplomatic relations between Wu Yunguo and Jingguo will be irreversibly broken. ]
"!"
Xiao Yunzhou's breathing suddenly stagnated.
