"It seems that I, as the ruler of Xia State, have gotten into some trouble..."
After Gou Jian turned away in anger.
Fan Li looked at Xia Tian with a somewhat apologetic look on his face.
The masked woman beside him also had some worry and uneasiness in her eyes.
After all, the momentum displayed by Gou Jian is indeed not comparable to that of ordinary human dynasties. He himself is narrow-minded, and now Fan Li's rejection has made him bear a grudge, and revenge is inevitable in the future!
In this way, even the Qianxia Dynasty would be regarded as a "thorn in the eye" by the State of Yue, adding an enemy out of thin air.
"Don't worry, Sister Xishi, His Majesty will not blame Lord Fan Li for this... On the contrary, he will be very happy!"
"Because, if we have a conflict with the Kingdom of Yue in the future, we can do it without any scruples. Three thousand Yue soldiers? How can they defeat the eight thousand dragon guards of the Qianxia Dynasty!"
Huang Rong, who was standing beside her, was clever and shrewd, so she naturally knew the reason for her worry and said with a smile.
Yes, the masked person is none other than Xi Shi, who ranks first among China’s famous “Four Beauties of Ancient Times”!

【Xi Shi (Gold)】
[Level] Extraordinary Three Realms
[Special Power] Power to Sink Fish (Using water as a medium, it can weave an illusion that is a mixture of reality and illusion, and can cause living beings to fall into a "dream that overturns a country". In mild cases, they will lose their minds, and in severe cases, their souls will be forever imprisoned in the sea of ​​illusions; it will only be effective if continuous pressure is applied to extraordinary people)
[Talent] Washing Silk and Weaving Fate (Clothes washed by it can have hidden auras, shield detection methods, and can even forge and mislead fate detection)
【characteristic】
Yuexi Spirit Girl (The waters of her power are very rich in resources. She can sense various treasures in the water and increase the production of water resources)
Wu Gong Qing Wu (can greatly weaken the enemy's hostility in diplomatic situations, and has a chance to make part of the enemy's army fall into a "pity" state on the battlefield, reducing the desire to attack)
[Skills] "The Goddess of Washing Silk·Original·Yubai" (including: the essence of illusion, water vein manipulation, music and dance to confuse the mind, the art of maneuvering)
[Explanation] "Shen Yu", the first of the four great beauties of China who "sunk fish and fell geese, and shamed the moon and flowers", was remembered by streams as a "beauty who brought disaster". She was also a tragic dancer who sacrificed her life for her country in troubled times!
[Note] The rise and fall of a country is determined by its own time. Why should the people of Wu blame Xi Shi? If Xi Shi could help Wu to fall, who would be responsible for the fall of Yue?
Xi Shi, whose original name was Shi Yi Guang.
He was born in Zhuji Zhuluo Village in the late Spring and Autumn Period.
She was born with natural beauty. It is said that when she was washing clothes by the stream, the fish in the water were so attracted by her beauty that they were dazed and forgot to swim, and sank to the bottom of the water!
At that time, the State of Yue was a vassal of the State of Wu, and King Gou Jian of Yue worked hard to restore his country.
When the country was in crisis, Xi Shi endured humiliation and dedicated herself to the country. Together with Zheng Dan, she was presented to King Fuchai of Wu by King Goujian of Yue. She became the king's most beloved concubine, making the king distracted from state affairs and providing a cover for Goujian's comeback.
Later, the Wu Kingdom was finally destroyed by Gou Jian, and there was no news of Xi Shi anymore.
Generally speaking, there are two possible endings for her. One is that Xi Shi was put into a bag by King Gou Jian of Yue and thrown into the water where she drowned. The other is that Xi Shi and Fan Li went boating on the five lakes!
There is no doubt that with Gou Jian's character, even Wen Zhong, a hero who planned to restore his country for him, would inevitably end up being abandoned. Naturally, he would not care about the life or death of a mere singing girl!
Some are even willing to sink it into the water on the pretext of "bringing disaster to the country and the people".

However, such an ending was undoubtedly too cruel for the "laundress"!
At least now that she has been resurrected in this "eternal land", Xi Shi is indeed with Fan Li, touring the wonderful mountains and waters of this eternal land... From this perspective, this may really be a relatively happy ending!
However, Xi Shi knew very well that Fan Li had always had great ambitions in his heart.
At the same time, both himself and Fan Li inherited the destiny of the Chinese race... Resurrection from the dead, this is such a huge cause and effect, how can he really ignore other human races?
Therefore, she supported Fan Li's "entry into government", especially the attitude shown by the Qianxia Dynasty, which was much better than that of King Fuchai of Wu and King Goujian of Yue. He was definitely a great leader and the best choice...
"If you ask me, Fan Li! Since you don't want to go to Yue State, why don't you just come to me?"
"Although you have plotted against me before... I am a magnanimous person and will forgive your past offenses... I will definitely treat you as Guan Yiwu. When the time comes, we will work together to create a foundation, wouldn't that be wonderful..."
The armor on Fuchai's body sparkled brightly under the sun!
After all, Fan Li was the enemy who destroyed the Wu State, but now Fuchai was willing to cooperate with Fan Li. Just on this point, he was better than Gou Jian!
Of course, Fuchai said this.
Only he himself knows how much of his feelings are true and false.
"Thank you, King Wu, for your kindness... But I'm sorry that my wife doesn't like the scenery of Wu..."
Fan Li also rejected Fu Chai.
It is worth mentioning that the sword that Gou Jian ordered Wen Zhong to commit suicide with was also the sword that Wu Zixu used to commit suicide. The name of the sword was - Seven Star Dragon Abyss!
"Humph, I'm still here, and you guys are making fun of me, Fuchai boy, do you want to mess with me too?"
Duke Huan of Qi stood up and said.
Given his time and status in history, he was indeed qualified to call Fu Chai a child!
"The Qianxia Dynasty... is really ambitious. I hope we can have the opportunity to cooperate further in the future!"
He had no intention of inviting "Fan Li".
It was only because the cooperation between him and Guan Zhong could be said to be very "good", so much so that in this eternal land, Guan Zhong was still in Qi to assist him, and he had no need for Fan Li!
“I will definitely visit you if I have the chance in the future!”
Xia Tian readily agreed.
He still had a good impression of Duke Huan of Qi.
Although both Duke Huan of Qi and King Wuling of Zhao were half-wise and half-witted rulers, this was not a big problem, because everyone has flaws...
Take Li Shimin, who was called a model emperor, for example, but wasn’t he also “incompetent” in his later years?
In particular, he is very interested in Guan Zhong and looks forward to meeting him. After all, he is a person who is regarded as the "model prime minister" by both Zhuge Liang and Fan Li!
"Many emperors are also welcome to come to the Qianxia Dynasty to discuss cooperation and share what they have..."
In addition, Xia also extended invitations to those ancient dynasties.

"Fan Li, obey my orders. I hereby appoint you as the 'Head of the Finance Palace' of the Qianxia Dynasty, ranking fourth, and grant you a 'Merchant Flag'..."
In addition, in order to prevent any further trouble.
Xia Tian simply looked at Fan Li, and a large amount of luck emerged in his hands, condensing into an "official seal" emitting a jade-white light, and handed it to the latter!
Shen Wansan once said something very true.
Every industry has its own unique challenges. Xia Tian does not think that he has enough "business talent".
Although the Qianxia Dynasty now has many "business talents", whether it is Xue Baochai, Hong Funu, or Heshen, they are all responsible for part of the business affairs!
Moreover, in their respective fields, they are well organized, if not outstanding. But this is probably not enough.
Putting aside other things, the three of them are still at the level of golden heroes. At least according to the current restrictions on official ranks in the Qianxia Dynasty, the three of them are not qualified to hold this "important position"!
Today, the Qianxia Dynasty is not far from becoming the "Dynasty Dynasty".
Xia Tian also has higher requirements for the talents under his command. Figures at the "Palace Master" level like this will gradually be replaced by some human geniuses!
Especially the power of "finance", which can be said to be more important than general power...
Therefore, whether it is the "Minister of Revenue" in ancient times or the "Chief of Finance" in modern times, the status is extraordinary and high enough!
Now, Xia Tian directly appointed Fan Li as the "Deputy Lord of Finance, Military Affairs, and Political Affairs" of the Qianxia Dynasty. It can be said that he was truly given enough "trust, high position and power, and a step to heaven. In a sense, this is equivalent to the "cabinet member" of later generations...
"Hiss, Chief Financial Officer? This is equivalent to the 'Minister of Revenue' in most dynasties, right?"
"How generous! This is a treasure above Xuanhuang, yet you gave it to someone you've only met once?"
"If I'm not mistaken, that official seal is actually jade white? In other words, the Qianxia Dynasty granted it a true 'fourth-level official position'... The corresponding officials, within the country, are directly equivalent to the status of Tianjiao..."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
In fact, generally speaking.
Even when facing outstanding people, Xia Tian rarely expressed his views so directly.
The reason why he was "appointed to an official position" on the spot was also intentional by Xia Tian.
Firstly, it demonstrates the "magnanimity" of the Qianxia Dynasty. As long as one has talent, one can even directly obtain an official position of "upper fourth rank".
This is already the highest "official position" that can be achieved in most dynasties of fortune at this stage, comparable to core positions such as prime minister and general!
This also made these outstanding people feel excited when they noticed it.
Although most people in history are not as famous as Fan Li, they are certainly not weaker.
After all, theoretically, anyone who can enter this "City of Saints" independently is qualified to be "canonized"!
This is undoubtedly equivalent to selling a horse's bones for a huge sum of money.
No, it’s not just selling it for “a huge sum of gold”, because even though Zhuge Liang and Bai Qi have only been given two Xuanhuang heavy weapons, it’s the first time that Xia Tian has entrusted this “glass treasure” to someone!
However, if you can't bear to part with the child, you can't bear to part with the wolf either.

"Your Majesty, the two owners of our Qiwufang and Jubaolou are the commercial pillars of our Chinese race... How about inviting the two of you to join our 'Chamber of Commerce'? In the future, we can jointly develop our Chinese trade to other human dynasties and even tens of millions of alien races..."
As soon as Fan Li took office, he immediately got into the state.
"What, Chamber of Commerce? What's going on..."
After hearing this, Shen Wansan's originally depressed spirits suddenly lifted, and he felt as if a new world had suddenly appeared in his eyes!
After all, this time, both Qiwufang and Jubaolou can be said to be the "losing" side!
Only the Qianxia Dynasty was the outright winner. There were a total of ten "treasures", and the Qianxia Dynasty now had four of them, nearly half of the country...
In terms of value, it can even be more than “half”.
This is because most of the subsequent lords could only produce items of artifact level, and Xuanhuang heavy weapons were rare.
Because, the treasures “Above Xuanhuang” from the first three rounds did not appear in the subsequent rounds.
Therefore, it can be said that this "Treasure Appraisal Conference" has, in a sense, become a one-man show of the Qianxia Dynasty, and even Lu Buwei and Shen Sanwan have become supporting roles!
"This 'Traveling Merchant Banner' is different from the 'Traveling Merchant Token'... In theory, it is not completely restricted to one party... Instead, it can be developed and gather more forces... Together, we can contribute to the trade of our human race. When everyone adds fuel, the flames will burn brighter..."
Fan Li talked eloquently.
Shen Sanwan's expression changed from bleak to excited.
"In that case, my Jubaolou would naturally be willing to join..."
Shen Sanwan agreed with joy on his face.
As for Lu Buwei, he bowed and said goodbye, saying that he had to go and discuss something first.
This is because unlike the Jubao Tower led by Shen Wansan, there are many "shareholders" behind the Qiwufang, including the Shu Han Dynasty, Gou Jian's Yue Kingdom, and the Wu Kingdom, all of which are part of it, so it is impossible to make a decision easily!
"Well, that's right. If we can bring Jubao Building and Qiwufang into the Chamber of Commerce, at least in the Chinese camp, it will be enough to become the largest force... and it won't conflict with the other two."
You know, the Strange Items Shop and the Treasure House have been operating in the City of Saints for a long time.
Possessing a large number of connections and resources is exactly what the Qianxia Dynasty lacks.
Once we cooperate, we will not only have two fewer enemies, but also two more friends.
The most important thing is that with the help of these two channels, the "currency issuance scope" of the Qianxia Dynasty can be further expanded.
If the amount of this currency can reach more than 100 million people, it will be enough to obtain another treasure related to "wealth"... Xia Tian is naturally looking forward to it.
"Well, this treasure appraisal conference was a bit of a coincidence... but it was inevitable... After all, it's still a competition of background... Should our Qianxia Dynasty be considered the number one territory in China now?"
Xia Tian said with certainty.
After today, at least in the Chinese region, the name of the Qianxia Dynasty will be known to everyone!
Similarly, this Tianyuan coin will also become a currency that many people in the Chinese region are interested in and gradually accept... By then, it will be a true "empire can be expected"...
"Go slowly, future emperors. Can you leave some food and nourishment for me?"

The treasure appraisal conference ended and the crowd began to disperse gradually, and just when Xia Tian thought that the matter was over.
A spiritual wave was transmitted into his mind, which actually came from the "Pixiu stone statue"!
At this time, half of the "petrified" body of the Pixiu has turned into "flesh and blood", and its aura has been significantly enhanced.
At least it is much stronger than Xia Tian's current Transcendent Seventh Realm... In theory, its power has recovered to the level above the Transcendent Eighth Realm! (End of this chapter)
