The seven of them crossed the front yard and came to the lobby, where Li Mu's other two sons, Li Hong and Li Xian, had already led their servants to wait in front of the door.

Ying Zheng and a few people walked towards the door of the lobby, there was no Li Mu in the crowd, Wu Jue's little face was so puffed up that it was cute, even Zhuge Liang's feather fan was not swaying, and his face showed a trace of unhappiness.

Zheng He and Zhao Gao behind Ying Zheng had cold faces, and their whole bodies exuded a palpitating momentum.

Not only Li Hong and Li Xian, who greeted them at the door, nervously looked at the seven Yingzheng people who were walking towards them, but Li Mi, who led Yingzheng the way, was also sweating like rain at this time.

Ying Zheng and a few people came to the door, Li Hong and Li Xian took their mother and four servants to salute Ying Zheng nervously and apprehensively: "I have seen Gongzi, Gongzi Wan'an." ”

Ying Zheng said calmly: "You are polite. ”

Li Mi and the others were dumbfounded, and the imaginary thunder was furious, ordering people to be arrested and beheaded?

Li Mu's move ruthlessly swept Yingzheng's face, as long as he is a normal person, I am afraid he will not be able to accept it, let alone a king.

Ying Zheng was stunned when he saw a few people, and asked: "Don't invite me to sit down, I came to visit General Li Mu today, since General Li Mu is inconvenient, I naturally won't go to disturb." However, Jue'er and I are in a hurry at noon and haven't eaten yet, if you don't mind?"

Li Mi hurriedly nodded, like a chicken pecking rice, and said, "Don't mind, don't mind, please son." ”

When a few people entered the house, Li Mi made a gesture of invitation to Yingzheng to the main seat and said, "Son, please take a seat." ”

Ying Zheng shook his head, and took Wu Jue to kneel on the two futons on the left, and Zhuge Liang and Wu Jue knelt on a futon at a distance. Seeing this, Li Mi took the two brothers to sit down on the futon opposite Yingzheng and arched his hand: "Please also ask the son to atone for his sins, my father is indeed incapacitated." ”

Ying Zheng said: "If you really want to atone for your sins, prepare more Zhao delicacies for lunch, and I will eat more to dissipate my anger." ”

Except for Wu Jue, who was stunned, was this like what a king said? They also understood that Ying Zheng did not take this matter to heart.

Only Wu Jue's eyes lit up when he heard the food.

Li Xian got up and saluted: "Wait a minute, Xian will go and order his subordinates to prepare." ”

Ying Zheng nodded, and Li Xian left.

Several people talked about it, talking about the Zhao State, and then the Xiongnu in the north, and the Donghu people.

It didn't take long for the meal to be served, and several people finished the meal happily, Ying Zheng and Zhuge Liang left gifts to leave.

The three brothers of the Li family sent Ying Zheng to the door of the mansion, Ying Zheng and Wu Zheng got into the car, and Li Mi and the three of them said respectfully: "Congratulations to the son." ”

Ying Zheng nodded in return and said, "Tell General Li Mu that when he can move freely, he can come to the largest mansion in Xianyang City to find me." ”

"No," Li Mi and the three replied.

Ying Zheng and Zhuge Liang's car gradually left the street and disappeared from the sight of the three.

Li Xian said: "I thought that we would be in a catastrophe today, and we were in a different place, but I didn't expect King Qin to be so benevolent and righteous at such a young age." ”

Li Hongdao: "Yes, it's unbelievable to have such a mind at such a young age,"

Li Mi said, "I'll go see my father." ”

Speaking of Li Mu, the other two didn't speak, turned back, Li Mi saw it, and sighed secretly.

Li Mu was not in bed, nor in the study, but sat on a low stool in the backyard, with a table in front of him, and a bronze wine jug and a bottle for wine.

When Li Mi came to the backyard, Li Mu was drinking, and Li Mi came to Li Mu and said, "Mi'er, I've seen my father." ”

Li Mu's face did not show any melancholy, anger and other emotions because of his eyes gouged out, but asked calmly: "That one is gone." ”

"I just left, and when I left, I said that when you can move freely, you can go to the largest mansion in Xianyang City to find him. Li Mi replied.

Li Mu raised his head and muttered, "The largest mansion?"

Then he looked at Li Mi again, although Li Mu's eyes were surrounded by white cloth, Li Mi could feel a pair of eyes staring at him.

Li Mu was a little complicated in his heart and asked, "Do you blame me?"

Li Mi replied: "Mi'er doesn't dare. ”

Li Mu said: "If you don't dare, you have it." ”

Li Mi didn't answer, if Yingzheng was angry just now, they would have all fallen to the ground, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that Li Mu pushed them to the brink of death.

Li Mu smiled sadly and said: "I, Li Mu, once swore to be loyal to King Zhao and made countless contributions to the Zhao State, but King Zhao dismissed my military power because of a Yao Yan of the Qin State, gouged out my eyes, and sent me to the Qin State as a hostage. ”

"Now I'm also a waste, a waste!"

"Father. Li Mi cried out in pain.

"Father don't worry, my son heard that the doctor Bian Que had arrived in Qin State, and my son would go and ask him to heal his father's eyes. ”

"It's useless, you go down first, for the father wants to be quiet. Li Mu waved his hand and said,

Li Mi originally wanted to persuade Li Mu, but he knew Li Mu's character, so he finally said helplessly: "Mi'er retires." ”

Li Mi left, and a woman appeared and quietly accompanied Li Mu.

Li Mu raised his hand to caress the white cloth, there was a monstrous hatred in his heart, and there was too much helplessness, he was willing to go to the Qin State, one was for the help of the 250,000 people of the Zhao State, and the other was the order of the King of Zhao.

King Zhao is unkind, but he Li Mu can't be disloyal. This is also the reason why he refused to meet Yingzheng, and even because of his so-called loyalty, he sent his family to the ghost gate with his own hands.

He couldn't help but ask himself, is it worth it?

Hanzhong County, Shangyong City.

On the official road to Shangyong City, there was a car driving, and there were more than a dozen horsemen around the car guarding.

Shang Ying looked at the yellow wheat in the fields on both sides of the official road, his face was full of red light, and said: "A few years ago, I also walked this road, either a forest or a wilderness, what land is there, but now it is all endless crops, and the changes are so great, like a dream. ”

Fan Li next to him sighed: "It's all the credit of the organ plow invented by the public transport class, the grain planted by each household is more than ten times that of last year, and the autumn harvest is about to begin, and the tax collected this year, Shang Jun is ready to be surprised." ”

Shang Ying also said: "The Ministry of Industry is really not stopping this year, and I heard that in mid-May, there was a machine car for transporting grain, and I was driven away by the Ministry of War before I had time to take a look." ”

Fan Li said: "The machine car, Li is fortunate to see it, the military department is used to transport grain to the front line, Shang Jun, you don't know, the people help transport grain: a cart is about three stones, and four or five people are needed to help." But the machine car is loaded with more than a dozen stones, and one person can drive away, which is extremely magical. Otherwise, where will there be food for General Bai Qi to transport in my Qin State. ”

"Originally, it took 50,000 people to transport 100,000 stone of grain to Hanguguan, and 60,000 stone of grain needed to be prepared for a month just for the people to eat (two months back and forth). However, as soon as the machine truck came out, it was enough to transport 100,000 stone of grain, and 10,000 stone of grain was not needed. ”

"Shang Jun, can you imagine how much the machine car means to my Qin State?"

Shang Jun said: "No wonder Bai Qi will let go of the opportunity to attack South Korea this time, with his character, such a good fighter this time should be on the book and allow him to destroy South Korea, but there is no movement." I should have seen the extraordinary significance of the machine car for transporting grain. ”

"Yes, not only in these aspects, but the joint attack of the six countries on our Qin State failed, and the smaller losses were the Yan State and the Qi State. This time the peace was negotiated with the six countries, and the cities of Yanqi and Qi were replaced by finances, money and silk and other things to weaken the economies of the two countries. Even if the Mo family can make machine cars and machine plows, now the people of the six countries even have food and clothing is a big problem, where is there extra financial resources to support the Mo family to make these. Fan Li said.

The negotiation and conditions of Shang Ying naturally read it, or he discussed it with Zhang Yi and others, Ying Zheng proposed that Yan and Qi use finance to replace the city, could it be that Ying Zheng had already counted this, or did Ying Zheng and Fan Li have a keen sense of smell for economic development.

"The substitution of goods for the cities of Yan and Qi was proposed by the king. Shang Jun thought about it and said.

"The king mentioned it. ”

Fan Li couldn't help but think of the sentence that Ying Zheng asked Zhao Gao to bring him: "Tell Fan Gong that he will do what he wants to do boldly, and support him alone." ”

It turns out that the king is the one who has a long-term vision. He just ...... thinking of this, Fan Li couldn't help but blush.

Changing the topic, he said: "Shang Jun's mind is either in the cabinet, or in terms of the laws of the Qin State, so he naturally won't pay too much attention to the Ministry of Industry. But our household department is different, many of the inventions of the Innovation Department of the Ministry of Industry are for the people, and our household department is in charge of Qin's money and grain, taxes, people's household registers, etc., and the Ministry of Industry is indispensable to deal with. ”

"As far as Li knows, the Innovation Department of the Ministry of Industry has come up with what kind of organs, such as digging rocks, paving roads, etc., are really beyond the imagination of ordinary people. ”

Listening to Fan Li's words, Shang Ying sighed: "I didn't expect that in the past, whether it was the Mo family or the public loser, although they were good at tricks, in the eyes of Martingale, they were all useless things. Now it seems that they are not used in the right place, you see that my king ascended the throne and reused the public loser, and used the trick to benefit the people, this Qin State is the same every day. ”

Fan Li nodded in agreement.

The car drove forward for a distance, and the sound of chickens and dogs barking came from afar, as well as the sound of sheep barking, the further forward it was, the more clearly it could be heard, Shang Ying turned his head to look at Fan Li, Fan Li just smiled mysteriously.

After traveling for hundreds of miles, the car of the two drove into a village, and for Shang Ying and the others, the livestock in the village were even more noisy.

Shang Ying lifted the curtain of the car, and saw many women and children shuttling in the village, their faces were red and radiant, and although they were still wearing coarse linen clothes, they were no longer the kind of tattered coarse linen clothes. For these ordinary people, in previous years, this was not possible to wear during the New Year.

Shang Ying still knows a lot about the living standards of the people of Qin, but the people in this village are diametrically opposed to what he imprints, and even the children who play are not the kind of thin and thin with yellow faces.

Shang Ying was very curious about what happened here, Fan Li was still smiling and shaking his head, and the car of the two continued to drive towards Shangyong City.

Entering Shangyong City, Shang Ying has been shocked beyond words, prosperous, incomparable prosperity and beauty, and the degree of prosperity is even about to catch up with Xianyang City.

However, Shangyong City is just a small city, and Xianyang City is the capital of Qin State, one of the largest cities in the world.

In Shangyong City, the endless shop signboards and banners, the sparkling carriages and horses, the crowded pedestrians, the indifferent and comfortable smiles, and the gorgeous clothes. Compared to other cities, the pool is simply different from cloud and mud.

Why is Shangyong City so prosperous, Shang Ying's heart is filled with a huge question mark?"
