At the end of noon, Chen Xu and Xiyue Hou Kang begged and laughed and entered the Qinghe Theater together, and at this time, the theater was already overcrowded, countless Central Plains businessmen in Chinese costumes and Hu merchants in different costumes in the Western Regions had been waiting for a long time, seeing the arrival of Qinghe Hou, suddenly there was a warm cheer in the theater, and many Hu merchants knelt on the ground and kowtowed to greet them.

These two are their parents who are about to get rich, and whether they can buy the coveted Daqin goods on credit depends on the arrangement of these two people.

In the cheers, Chen Xu and Xiyuehou and several important business leaders and several kings of the Western Regions who were invited to come went to the private room on the second floor together, and the maids sent snacks and drinks, and the curtain on the stage began to shake, and soon slowly opened, with the sonorous and powerful gongs, drums and horns, a song and dance drama that had been performed countless times to serve the country began to be staged.

The singing and dancing of the Qinghe Theater are already familiar to the Daqin businessmen who came today, and this song is loyal to the country, and they have already heard it in their ears, so the invited Daqin businessmen are all chatting with each other with tea and snacks, and they are naturally talking about how much money they have earned in the past few days and how many little ladies they have.

But this song and dance of war that Chen Xu carefully choreographed and hit in Xianyang, coupled with the skillful cooperation of the music and dancers, the flowing performance still made the shocked eyes of a group of Hu people from the Western Regions fall to the ground, and they all look sluggish and their jaws can't close.

This kind of dance and music, don't say they haven't heard or seen it, and they can't even imagine it.

It doesn't matter if you don't understand, but the actions of the Great Qin soldiers wearing leather armor on the stage to kill the foreign costumes are still very clear that this is a battle of Great Qin's conquest of the alien race, in the sonorous song and dance, the snowy long knife and the sharp Changge will kill the alien race one by one The process of killing the alien race to the ground, I can see these Hu people trembling one by one, sweating on their foreheads, but they can't help but continue to watch without blinking.

At the end of the song and dance, polite applause rang out in the theater, and in the private room on the second floor, Chen Xu took the lead in standing up and applauding, and a group of people also stood up and applauded.

After serving the country with loyalty, there is an old-fashioned mythological drama The Legend of the White Snake.

The Legend of the White Snake as the first feature drama of the Qinghe Theater in Wancheng, now almost six years have passed, and this drama has already spread to a household name, especially the popular song of the millennium, accompanied by sometimes soothing and sometimes bright music, which triggered the memories of the entire Qinghe Theater audience, and many people involuntarily sang along.

This is a song and dance worth cherishing and remembering, the originator of the birth of Daqin Opera, and the deepest nostalgia of everyone for the White Lady.

This song and dance Hu people couldn't understand, but when thunder, fire, lightning and billowing smoke suddenly erupted on the stage, it caused these Hu merchants, envoys and even kings to scream in horror, which also caused the Great Qin merchants to laugh like monkeys.

After the White Snake performance, Chen Xu took a group of people on the stage, first solemnly introduced the identity and official position of Xiyuehou, and then explained in detail the role of the Commerce Bureau, and finally talked about the purpose of inviting everyone to come today.

After the explanation, Chen Xu asked these Hu merchant envoys and kings to negotiate with the merchants of Great Qin about the type and quantity of goods that need to be purchased on credit, and the participants in the translation are naturally a group of interpreters from the Pawn Bureau, and finally the two parties sign a credit purchase contract, clarifying the time and quantity of the return of the payment, etc., the contract is in triplicate, and the signed contract will be signed and archived by Xiyuehou himself for later inspection.

The Department of Commerce has just announced its establishment today, and there is no office yet, and there is only one commander of Xiyuehou, but as the emperor has clearly established the office, everyone naturally agrees with the identity of Xiyuehou, and after nearly an hour of noisy and shouting, after careful negotiation and discussion, dozens of credit purchase contracts have been completed, Qinghe Store, Fan's Winery, Shui's Tea House, Gao's Silk, Weinan Cloth Village, Nanshan Glass, Hongxing Enamel, as well as pottery, mahjong, sweet and sour, clothing, leather goods, etc., as long as you dare to give credit to these Hu merchants, they dare to ask for anything, and they can't wait for the more the better.

Of course, in order to ensure the interests of Daqin merchants, the amount of the contract is still limited, especially porcelain, silk, red wine, glass and other luxury items, each of which is not cheap, easy to collect on credit, this is almost the inevitable crux of business operations, although Chen Xu with his own identity and the preparation of the Department of Commerce will be promoted to the national level, but still not sure that some of them will be repaid, it is more likely that these merchants hung on the road to business, and finally became a bad debt that can not be recovered.

But in any case, this is an unprecedented commercial transaction, and after these contracts have been reviewed and signed by Chen Xu and Xiyuehou, these commercial contracts can be regarded as officially effective, and then these Hu merchants can directly go to the merchants of Daqin to carry the goods, and after careful inspection by the Commerce Bureau, they can be transported back to the Western Regions.

Three days later, a huge bazaar ended.

The thousands of Qin merchants and Hu merchants who participated in it began to pack up their belongings and leave Keju Square, and in order to make these Hu people more eye-opening, Chen Xu asked Liu Bang to organize a Keju Invitational Tournament in Keju Field, and Meng Yun and a group of other gentlemen drew two teams to participate in the game.

In the course of the game, this kind of purely entertaining sports activities once again shocked these Hu people to the point of no return, tens of thousands of people in the stadium set off a tsunami-like cheer, and even made a wave of people to push up the atmosphere of the game, and just when the game was halftime, Meng Yun and a group of people took off from the river beach outside the south gate of Xianyang with gliders, crossed the Wei River and flew over the Keju field one after another, and immediately scared all the Hu people to kneel in the entire stands. Kowtowing to this huge bird in the sky, the frightened shouts resounded throughout the Keju field, so tens of thousands of Xianyang people in the stadium once again laughed and cheered loudly.

"Master Hou, I'm just afraid that doing so will scare these Hu people into peeing their pants!"

Standing at the highest point of Keju Field, looking at a group of gentlemen wearing sunglasses and masks and wearing leather jackets driving a glider in the sky, Liu Bang standing next to Chen Xu and a group of stewards of Keju Field all laughed and discussed.

"This is what Ben Hou wants, the Western Regions are tens of thousands of miles away from my Great Qin, the road is far away and it is difficult to travel, my Great Qin caravan is not very willing to go to the Western Regions to do business, so I need these Hu merchants to be obedient to traffic goods, and at the same time spread the strength of my Great Qin to the Western countries, the glider is now the most powerful symbol of my Great Qin, this is a completely irresistible pressure, more powerful oppression and visual impact than the army to them......"

Chen Xu looked down at the court below, looked at the tens of thousands of people kneeling in the stands, and said indifferently.

A few days later, after careful inspection by the officials of the Commerce Department who had hurriedly prepared, this Hu caravan of tens of thousands of people composed of dozens of tribes and states in the Western Regions set off for the Western Regions one after another, and the emperor also summoned the envoys and kings of the Western Regions in the court again, and issued a reward edict to encourage them and rewarded some silk, porcelain, tea, and red wine, and this unprecedented commercial event that lasted for nearly a month slowly came to an end.

And this seemingly pure trade exchange, a few months later, the strength and wealth of Great Qin will inevitably be spread to the Western countries by the Hu people of the Western Regions, a trade route between the East and the West will be completely opened, and the integration of the two civilizations will slowly kick off.

……

At the beginning of March, Daqin entered the turn of spring and summer, and the road to the Western Regions was also covered with snow and lush vegetation, Daqin once again organized tens of thousands of slaves and prisoners to send stirrups, horseshoes, blades, bows and crossbows and arrows, compressed military rations, clothing and medicines, etc., and at the same time brought a large number of enamel tea jars and some military kettles, and sent a Daqin mission with Li Shun as the main official to contact Dawan and Kangju Daxia and other countries, so as to find out the attitude of Central Asian countries towards Daqin.

Almost at the same time, Lingnan, outside the Yuecheng Ridge, 100,000 people, craftsmen and convicts participated in the construction of an artificial canal connecting Xiangshui and Lishui, and Wang Ben, the Marquis of Tongwu, sent messengers back to Xianyang to ask for military orders, hoping to officially start attacking Lingnan and conquering Baiyue.

The emperor of Tongwu Hou almost did not hesitate, and soon issued a war order, and after nearly a year of preparation, the Wuling Pass had already transferred a mountain of grain, grass and ordnance, and the 200,000 soldiers of Wuling were all ready to give Baiyue the most fierce blow, while earning meritorious service for himself, he also completed the arduous task of opening up the territory for the emperor.

In fact, the Wuling defenders are not in a hurry, because four years have passed since the encroachment policy began, and several bandits, generally composed of convicts and rangers, have caused calamity to many Yue people outside Wuling, and almost all of the entire Fujian and Yue have been done, and the army of Wuling Tunshu can only watch these bandit legions transport the seized Yue goods to Huiji, Changsha, Jiujiang and other counties through the Wuling Passage cart, and the sound of making money makes them can only lick their mouths and stare at the red eyes with envy.

If this process continues for another two or three years, it is estimated that the conquest of the Lingnan lands will not have anything to do with their 200,000 troops.

worked hard in Lingnan for ten years, and in the end, he didn't get the credit, so he was really aggrieved.

Therefore, since Wang Ben arrived in Lingnan, the Wuling guards all complained and begged for war in front of Wang Ben every day, and Wang Ben naturally knew the envy, jealousy and hatred of the soldiers, and he also wanted to return to Xianyang to enjoy the blessings after getting the Lingnan lands as soon as possible. And he was also worried that the tens of millions of families that his father and son had worked hard for more than ten years would eventually lose their money when they invested in this Keju field, and in order to support Chen Xu to build the Keju Field, he even sold his Tongwu Marquis Mansion.

Now that it's harvest season, if the business of Keju Square is not good, then it will end up losing so much that he vomits blood and dies.

Therefore, after the canal was built and ships could be navigated, Wang Ben could not wait to send a messenger to Xianyang to ask for the emperor's war order.
