The Wei River runs through the south, Zongshan reaches the north, and the mountains and rivers are both sunny, so it is called Xianyang!
Xianyang City was built a hundred years ago under the supervision of Wei Yang during the period of Duke Xiao of the Qin State. After its completion, the capital of the State of Qin moved here from Yueyang and was established as the capital. Subsequently, King Huiwen, King Wu, King Zhaoxiang, and King Xiaowen,
King Zhuang Xiang and others expanded the city of Xianyang.
The scale is getting bigger and bigger, the order is getting better and better, the palace is getting more and more luxurious, and it is getting more and more elegant. When you look down, you can see a majestic general trend. After a hundred years of war, the strength of the Qin State has risen sharply.
, the spirit of a country can be seen here.
The circumference is surrounded by the 800-mile Qinchuan River, extending to the Yellow River in the east, Qianhe River and Weihe River in the west, starting from Jiushan Mountain in the north and Qinling Mountains in the south. The territory is vast. The entire capital covers an area of nearly 50 square kilometers, although it is not part of Xianyang City.
Although the area is at its peak, it ranks among the top five among all countries.
Coming out of the depths of Bajun, together with Zong Qiong, the two rode lightly through Hanzhong and straight to the bank of the Weishui River, next to Xianyang. Even though the laws of the Shang Lord were extremely harsh on merchants, along the way, the broad
On the road, it is not uncommon to see groups of merchants.
In the Battle of Farming, merchants had the lowest status, but this did not prevent them from pursuing wealth. As the Qin State became more and more powerful, thanks to the implementation of the military merit and title system, the country was rich and the people were strong, and their consumption power was not low. The six countries of Shandong
Things were constantly shipped to Qin, especially Xianyang.
It has to be said that the Chi Road built by the Qin State is quite good, about fifty meters wide, and the flat road is lined with trees, which are planted according to the Qin Law. It is very comfortable to ride a horse on it.
It took about ten days to go down the mountain from Tianzong and approach the front of Xianyang City. There are continuous high city walls, dark yellow city walls, and high towers. Qin troops patrolled them from time to time. The city gates were open, and pedestrians could not come and go.
Sleep.
The city gate is about five to six meters high and four to five meters wide. There are two small side gates next to it. They are also guarded by soldiers wearing armor and holding spears, especially the main city gate. The merchant team wants to
To enter, you must pay money.
As for the people in the city, they seem to be better off and do not have this responsibility. As they approach the city gate, more and more people are coming in and out, and their ears are surrounded by the words of the Qin Kingdom in Guanzhong.
Although Zhou Qing was proficient in the scripts of the Seven Kingdoms, he didn't know much about the dialects of the Seven Kingdoms. He barely had the language of Qin. However, for his wisdom, learning a regional language was extremely simple.
matter.
"Uncle Master, according to the message from our Tianzong people in Xianyang City, this time the Qin State is recruiting palace protectors and palace swordsmen. Those who must first enter the recruitment hall, then be screened in the recruitment hall, and finally enter Xianyang Palace to be escorted by the King of Qin and the Prime Minister of Qin.
Bang screen!”
He turned over and dismounted, holding the reins in his hand. Compared to the horse beside him, Zhou Qing's height at this moment was indeed inconspicuous, but it was only about 1.23 meters. Looking straight from the other side, Zhou Qing's presence was basically invisible.
Entering from the main gate, Zong Qiong flicked his finger, and two Qin Banliang entered the basket at the top of the city gate. He did not encounter any obstruction and walked directly into Xianyang City. He spoke slowly and whispered to his junior uncle.
.
"Qin State Prime Minister Lu Buwei, how many years has he been in this position?"
Entering Xianyang City, you will see a flat main city street, paved with long and narrow bluestone bricks, about fifteen or six meters wide. There are sewers on the edge of the street, leading to the outside of the city. On both sides, there are two or three-story buildings.
restaurants and shops.
The expected sounds of hawking, shouting, and shouting did not appear. Even though there were not many people walking on the street, according to the spiritual sense, the shops were quite lively.
Especially in restaurants.
"Since King Zhuangxiang of Qin passed away and Prince Zheng of Qin succeeded to the throne, Lu Buwei has been the prime minister. Counting it, it should be almost eight years. Two years ago, Xiong Qi, Lord Changping of Chu State, was named prime minister, but the power still lies with Lu Buwei.
In hand!"
It can be seen that Zong Qiong knew these news very clearly, and he responded to Zhou Qing. At that time, Lu Buwei was a good man, and he jumped from a humble businessman to the prime minister of Qin. The prince of Qin even called him Zhongfu.
Power over the world.
After he was granted the title of Wenxin Hou, his followers continued to join him. He was known as the Three Thousand Followers, and his power was huge. One word could determine the life and death of the people in the ninth level of the Qin State, and one word could determine the strategy of attack. To do this, a merchant was the first person in ancient times.
.
"The time between Prime Minister Lu Buwei and Prime Minister Changping Lord Xiong Qi has lasted nearly eight years. If you think about it, it's almost eight years!"
Zhou Qing nodded in response and murmured in his mouth, "It has been almost eight years since Lu Xiangguo was recorded in history. It seems that his brother Wang who has not yet met is still quite capable. His relative Changping Jun became the prime minister, and Lu Buwei unexpectedly
agreed.
Although Lord Changping is still the prime minister and not a prime minister at the moment, with the support of Zizheng, coupled with the xenophobia within the old Qin people and the residual power of Chu's foreign relatives for hundreds of years, Lu Buwei will definitely not be able to serve as a prime minister for long.
"Uncle Junior, should we go to the Talent Recruitment Hall first, or meet with the Tianzong disciples here?"
Holding the reins and walking in front, he glanced at the young uncle beside him, as if he was thinking about something, and immediately said nothing. He looked left and right at the restaurants on both sides of the street. Noon had already passed, but the people in the restaurants were still there.
Quite a few.
After more than ten breaths, Zong Qiong spoke again. According to the tradition of Taoist Tianzong, there is actually no habit of setting up branches in various countries. The reason why there are disciples of Tianzong in Xianyang City is because of his junior uncle.
Two years ago, the junior uncle ordered Zong Quan to send some disciples to the Qin Kingdom. Of course, in name, they were experiencing the world of mortals and tempering their minds. However, it was not a big deal to do a small incident.
"Go to the Talent Recruitment Center first, and then meet up in the evening. Just make your arrangements!"
The geographical division of Xianyang City is quite simple. Entering from the south gate, you will find the industry, commerce, and residents of the city. The palace complex is in the east, the mausoleum complex is in the north, and the official residences, military and other areas of Xianyang City are in the west.
.
The sound of horses walking on the wide and flat stone road is very clear. There are not many pedestrians on the street. They are all dressed in coarse linen and have average financial strength, but their energy and energy are good.
After a hundred years of farming and fighting, ordinary residents who can live in Xianyang City must have a title above the eighth level. Having a title means having privileges. Compared with merchants with low status, although they are not as rich as merchants, if there is a fight between the two parties, regardless of
Right or wrong, businessmen will never fare well.
God merged with heaven and earth, sensing the aura of Xianyang City. Along with Qin's victory in foreign wars and the continuous expansion of Qin's land, the aura that enveloped the entire Xianyang City seemed to be different.
His spiritual sense surged and his eyes shone brightly. His power was really like a dragon, boundless in the ocean, shining in the blazing sun in the void. It was even more like a dragon swimming in the sea, galloping at will and running amok at will. This is the power of the country.
