According to the edict issued by Hu Hai at the end of May, Meng Tian's position as commander of the Nine Original Army has been abolished and has been transferred to command the 100,000 Huben Army. But now that Meng Tian has not arrived in Xianyang, you will immediately mobilize all the Huben Army.
Leaving behind an empty Lantian Camp and less than 2,000 Tiger and Guard soldiers for Meng Tian, isn't this the bleak Jiuyuan Gong?
But since you, old man, want to humiliate Jiuyuan Gong, why bother to make Meng Tian the commander-in-chief of the Huben Army?
Only the cabinet and the important ministers of the six ministries understood the reason why Hu Hai asked Meng Tian to command the Huben army but then transferred all the Huben troops to the north. Aren't there still 10,000 Huben troops in the Lantian camp?
Since Duke Jiuyuan is the commander-in-chief of the Huben Army, and these 10,000 Huben Army are the instructors of the county soldiers, it is natural that Meng Tian will take over the important task of training the 460,000 county soldiers.
Indeed, Wang Li is dead, Wei Liao is too old, Zhang Han is commanding the military department, and Feng Jie is far away in South Vietnam. Now in the Qin Dynasty, it seems that only Jiuyuan Gong Mengtian, who has resigned as the chief general of the Jiuyuan Army, has the qualifications, ability and time to take charge of the county.
The important task of training is now on.
Of course, none of them knew what the Tiger and Ben troops were going north for.
After all, the migration of hundreds of thousands of people to the north has put a huge burden on logistical supplies. Although the rations are directly distributed to the people and carried by the people themselves, the food and drink of your army of 100,000 people along the way is also a big pressure.
ah.
In the court, apart from Monk Fang Tian Renwei of Longwei Mansion, only Hu Hai himself knew what the purpose of the Huben Army's march north was.
…
As the National Memorial Day passed, Xianyang City, a noisy and bustling city in early June, gradually began to return to its previous calm. However, this calm was not a pool of stagnant water, but as if spring had broken through the ground and sprouted young grass.
Full of vitality.
Perhaps only old people who have lived in Xianyang City for hundreds of years can keenly feel the subtle changes that are happening every day in this capital of the Qin Empire and the most prosperous city in China.
This kind of change is difficult for outsiders to feel. Their only feeling is that Xianyang City is too big, the streets of Xianyang City are too wide, Xianyang Palace and Afang Palace are too majestic. Of course, Xianyang City’s
There are too many people.
The first census of the Qin Dynasty, completed in the fifty-second year of the Qin Dynasty, showed that the total population of Xianyang City and its affiliated townships has almost exceeded one million. Another year has passed, and the permanent population of Xianyang City may have been
It has exceeded the one million mark.
At this moment, Xianyang City is already the largest city in the world. Of course, it is not yet an international metropolis.
The most intuitive impression of Xianyang for people from other places is the various wineries scattered throughout the streets and alleys of Xianyang City. Basically, on the streets of Xianyang City, you can see a winery after just a few steps, whether large or small.
, but there will definitely be.
Xianyang City is always overcrowded every time major sacrifices and events are held. This is the most realistic incentive for so many wine shops and inns to spring up in Xianyang City.
After all, no matter who you are, the first thing you need when you arrive in Xianyang City is food and accommodation.
And Xianyang was originally the capital of the Qin Dynasty. Because Hu Hai corrected the chaos in time, Zhao Gao had no chance to take power. Not only did Guanzhong's economic foundation not suffer any damage, but it also developed greatly in the past three years. Of course, this is also
It has a lot to do with Hu Hai's continuous reduction and exemption of taxes and labor and the forced implementation of Shangfang casting money.
Gold, silver, and copper coins became the mainstream in Da Qin and were the only currency in normal circulation. The benefits were obvious. Payment and purchase were much more convenient, and natural consumption increased.
In addition, Guanzhong was already wealthy. In order to weaken the resistance of the survivors of the Six Kingdoms when the empire was first established, the First Emperor directly moved 100,000 wealthy households from the Six Kingdoms to Xianyang City, turning Xianyang, which was already wealthy, into the land of China.
The richest place.
If the above are all objective reasons, then the emergence of wineries is the most direct result of the several wine cellars that Hu Hai set up to consume the huge amounts of grain stored in various official warehouses that were about to go bad.
the reason.
The reason why a winery is called a winery is because without wine, where would a winery come from?
When people live a better life and have more money at home, they can have some leisure time and drink some wine, right? If they can't even eat, then who will come to the wine shop?
…
"Speaking of which, Maodun was born with a wide mouth and broad nose, green eyes and fangs. Rumor has it that he was born from a wolf demon in Langjuxu Mountain in Pingyi County. Do you know this Pingyi County? Pingyi, Inner Mongolia, Liaoning
, Heilongjiang, Hexi, and Annan six counties plus Gaoli County, which admired the majesty of the Holy Emperor and served thousands of miles away, are the seven newly established counties by His Majesty the Holy Emperor.
These seven counties make our Great Qin Empire span thousands of miles from north to south, and tens of thousands of miles from east to west..."
In a wine shop on the south street of Xianyang City, a half-century-old man wearing a burlap robe, a bun, and three strands of gray beard was sitting at the table in the center of the wine shop, shaking his head and talking.
The furnishings in the tavern are a bit strange.
All the tables used by the guests seem to be arranged in an orderly manner around the old man in the middle. The old man is located in the center of the hotel lobby, and it seems to have been deliberately raised to make the surrounding people more comfortable.
Even the drinkers can see me.
The old man who was shaking his head and talking suddenly stopped when he said that he was thousands of miles away, then grabbed a large piece of meat on the table and stuffed it into his mouth, then took a sip of the wine on the table, and then talked with him with unfinished content.
He sipped his drink and chewed slowly.
"Bang bang!" Seeing that Lao Wang started to pretend again, of course, if people at this time knew that "pretend" was a very popular word in later generations, he impatiently patted the table in front of him and shouted: "
Lao Wang, Lao Wang, when you talk about the Xiongnu Maodun, you are talking about something else again!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden response.
"That's right, Lao Wang, you got off track again!"
"Old Wangtou, you are right. Come on, the bartender will give Old Wangtou another pot of good wine and a plate of meat, and you will pay me!" A tall, muscular man pointed at Old Wangtou and was rough with the bartender.
He said in a loud voice, then turned to look at Lao Wangtou and said: "Old Wangtou, I have given you good wine and meat, please hurry up and talk quickly. How about Maodun?"
"Hurry up, hurry up, Old Wangtou!"
All the drinkers in the tavern shouted in unison.
"Thank you for your generosity, brother. Then I, the old Wangtou, will take care of the Huns today. Please listen." The old Wangtou wiped the oil stains on his hands, stood up and faced the Hun just now.
The strong man who offered him wine and food bowed. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
