Early the next morning, Taoist Tianzong Zhou Qing and Gui Gu Gai Nie arrived in front of Xingle Palace. There was already a group of 20 cavalrymen there, but their clothes were simple. They were all dressed up in fancy clothes and no longer had armor or spears.
.
Zhonglang took Li Xin as his head, and watched Zhou Qing and Gai Nie arrive hand in hand, and hurriedly came forward to greet him. Compared with Xin Sheng, who entered the Qin Palace at the same time, his luck was worse. Now Xin Sheng has returned to General Wang Jian's tent.
He obeyed orders, and Li Xin was still just a lieutenant general in the palace.
However, everything is changing in a tactful way. In today's petty wars, nothing can be seen. It will not really come until the real merger war begins and individual talents are shown.
"I have met Master Xuanqing and Mr. Gai Nie. The king is in the palace and wants to come out!"
Holding a long sword, he bowed his hands and saluted one after another. He was only fifteen or sixteen years old, when he was full of energy, the strength in his body was tactful, and his strength was not weak. After he finished speaking, he turned his body slightly and looked at the Xingle Palace not far away.
"Not in a hurry!"
Gai Nie didn't like to say anything, and nodded slightly to Li Xin. Zhou Qing smiled softly on his face, his spiritual sense spread, accompanied by the words in his mouth, and then looked at the other area in front of the palace, where Changping Lord Xiong Qi and
Wen Xin waited for Lu Buwei, who was standing quietly inside, chatting casually.
Half an hour later, a small group of people rode out of Xianyang Palace in a low-key manner. However, they did not leave from the main entrance of Xianyang Palace, but from one of the many side entrances. Their whereabouts were unknown, and Qin Wangzheng did not reveal anything.
There were more than 20 people in the group, including 20 strong soldiers personally selected by Li Xin. Outside them were Ying Zheng, Zhou Qing, Gai Nie, and Li Xin. They drove horses and were dressed in brocade robes like merchants.
Walking along the Chi Road, we went all the way south and approached the Wei River.
The stranger is like jade, and the young master is unparalleled in the world!
Although the old Qin people were still black and wore Chang Xuanyi, but at this time, Qin Wangzheng was dressed in white clothes, with a plain robe covering his body. His dark hair was tied up with a silver hairpin, and his sword eyebrows were slightly raised.
, a handsome young master with sharp red and phoenix eyes, extraordinary handsome features.
Beneath him is a horse with the same white hair, riding an envoy. Li Xin at his side is guiding the way forward from time to time. He is in front, and on the left and right are Guigu Gainei and Taoist Xuanqing.
"Where does the king want to go?"
On this trip, Zhao Gao, the general servant, did not follow him. He was a few miles outside Xianyang City. According to the map, thirty miles away was the edge of the Wei River. Compared with the heroic appearance of Qin Wangzheng, Zhou Qing and Gai Nie were dressed casually.
A very ordinary blue brocade robe was added to the body, and he was riding on a horse. He was shrouded in mysterious power, and he moved at will. His spiritual sense spread, and everything within a radius of several thousand meters disappeared, safe and worry-free. After a while, Zhou Qing
Just ask casually.
"Going down the Wei River and looking at the mountains and rivers of Daqin, the Mongolian generals have recently conquered Puyang and moved Wei Yuanjun to the Yewang. I want to go to Heluo to see how the government's decree is being implemented!"
Looking at the map, all the well-known cities in the entire Zhuxia land are located beside the river. Zhou Qing had a slight understanding of Qin Wangzheng's words, nodded slightly, and then chatted casually along the way. After a while, he entered the Weishui River, and the passengers were talking.
The ship headed eastward.
******
The Wei River goes eastward, passing through Lishan, Luoyin, Fenling, Hangu Pass, Quwo, Wusui and other high rivers and dangerous passes. After several days, it goes straight to Luoyang, where the Wei River and the Luoshui River converge.
.
The capitals of three dynasties, the Xia Dynasty, the Shangchao Dynasty, and the Zhou Dynasty were all the capitals of kings and hegemons here. Unfortunately, in the first year of the reign of King Zhuang Xiang, Prime Minister Lu Buwei directly led his army to attack the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and cut off the last dragon vein of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Later, the State of Qin established Sanchuan County here, and Wenxinhou Lu Buwei settled for 100,000 households. When they entered the ancient capital of Luoyang, they were greeted by the aura of merchants and merchants. Although the Great Zhou Dynasty no longer exists, this ancient capital has
It seems much more prosperous.
Groups of carriages carrying goods are a common sight in the city. Both sides of the wide streets are full of magnificence and extravagance. Just from the appearance, it is not comparable to Xianyang City.
"Luoyang, most of the world's richest people live here!"
In terms of scale, Luoyang is not inferior to Xianyang at all. Now, in terms of commercial prosperity, it is far beyond Xianyang by several levels. Businessmen in fine clothes chat and laugh endlessly, with billions of dollars squandering, and beauties accompanying them.
After entering Luoyang, the horses had been left in a corner of the city. Guards in fine clothes were scattered around. Qin Wangzheng, Gai Nie, Zhou Qing, and Li Xin were walking together. Along the way, there were endless merchants. This scene made Zhou Qing sigh.
A glimpse of the leopard shows that this place is Lu Buwei's fiefdom and the food is here. It is obvious that Lu Buwei's own financial resources are strong. No wonder he can extend a large-scale snare from the black ice platform. No wonder his disciples surpass Wei Xinling Lord.
However, at this scene, King Qin Zhengming, who was standing in front of him, was obviously displeased. Li Xin, who was in front, found a nice-looking restaurant and led the three of them directly into it. The strong guards scattered around also came one after another.
Enter the restaurant.
"Since Xiangbang captured Sanchuan County and brought together 100,000 households, Luoyang... has become very prosperous!"
Finding a secluded place in the restaurant, Qin Wangzheng and the others knelt and sat around the wine table. Li Xin originally declined, but after Qin Wangzheng waved his hand, he became one of them nervously.
Taking a sip of Luoyang's fine wine, Ying Zheng felt the extreme prosperity of Luoyang, and Ying Zheng couldn't help but feel his hatred for Lu Buwei again.
"Luoyang is originally a prosperous place. Xiangbang was born as a merchant and lived here, so he naturally knows how to exert his power!"
Gai Nie, who was wearing light gray attire, heard this and said that perhaps Lu Buwei was too eager for power, but he had to admit that he was still quite capable in governing the country.
After holding power for nearly ten years, the power of the Qin State gradually increased, not necessarily without Lu Buwei's hard work. Although the prosperity of Luoyang was Lu Buwei's personal purse and did not belong to the Qin court.
"However, when I come to Luoyang this time, I have figured out one thing. When I take charge of the sacred weapon of Sheji, I should let the rich from all over the world gather in Xianyang. They will receive some preferential treatment and gather wealth. By then, the Qin State will have sufficient treasury, and it will be just around the corner to leave Shandong in the east.
!”
It is a secluded place in the restaurant. We do not avoid talking about other things. Except for the words of the few, we look around at the luxury of the restaurant and speak with dignity. This is not what Yingzheng wants to see, damaging the country's treasury and serving as side ministers.
of.
"Instead of moving these rich people to Xianyang, it is better to cultivate the wealth of Xianyang itself. Most of these rich people are rich with salt, iron, wine, slaves, etc. If these can be brought under the jurisdiction of the Qin court, within a few years, the wealth will increase
Circulation, automatically gathering in Xianyang!"
"The rich are just temporary owners of wealth. As long as they grasp the source, they can control everything!"
At Qin Wangzheng's words, Zhou Qing on one side shook his head slightly, picked up the wine bottle from the table, and then spoke softly, then took a sip of Luoyang fragrance. After a breath, Qin Wangzheng's expression moved slightly, and he thought for a moment.
And then he felt happy.
"The master said, from now on, the treasury of the State of Qin will not be empty!"
