In Chen Xu's daily hard work, the cold winter passed in a blink of an eye, and the Guanzhong Plain soon ushered in another spring when the grass grew and the warbler flew.

At the end of February, good news came from the military camp in the Western Regions, because of the compressed military rations and medicines that were transported, the situation of the officers and men in the barracks who were not adapted to the soil and water after the beginning of summer last year had been greatly improved.

Along with the military report, there was also a caravan of the Western Regions, with a scale of tens of thousands of people, and the caravan composed of horses, yaks, and camels was like a mighty army, passing through the desert and the Hexi Corridor, crossing the Qinguan of the Great River, and rolling the banner all the way to Xianyang City.

This caravan composed of merchants from dozens of countries in the Western Regions not only brought a large number of spices, jade, and leather medicinal materials, but also came with envoys from almost forty states, and even tribal leaders and kings.

After these caravans arrived, everyone was shocked by the prosperity of Xianyang to the point of throwing themselves to the ground, the tall and majestic city, the straight cement road, the four-wheeled buses running all over the street, the newsboys shouting and selling newspapers along the street, the forest of commercial houses Quyuan, the lively market and the logistics market covering an area of hundreds of acres outside the east gate, like a natural cement bridge across the river, especially the Keju commercial square towering on the south bank of the Wei River is like a miracle.

Fine porcelain, crystal clear glass, magical mirrors, sharp steel swords, mysterious bearings, luxurious silks, red wine, incomparably fragrant tea, fragrant delicacies......

The people of Daqin who come and go talk elegantly and thoughtfully, all kinds of popular styles of clothing are colorful, the merchants from the south to the north drive the carts of goods to each other humbly, the whole Xianyang City inside and outside the bustling and lively, everything in front of them, all the people in the Western Regions feel like they have entered heaven, only everyone is stunned, many merchants and messengers of the Western Regions are kneeling on the ground to the head of Xianyang City and the Keju field kowtow and kiss the ground

After the arrival of this huge caravan, it not only caused a sensation among the millions of people in Xianyang, who gathered around the street to point and watch these strange-looking people from the Western Regions, but also expressed their disdain for these people from the Western Regions who were at a loss for what to do.

Everything in Xianyang has been moistened silently, so that the people of Xianyang have long been commonplace, but in the eyes of these natives of the Western Regions, everything is so incredible, not to mention that the roadside carriage and horse food stalls and newspaper kiosks all make them dizzy and shocked to close their mouths, even a glass marble or chicken feather shuttlecock in the hands of the children on the street can cause a huge commotion and surprise and admiration, it is really like a bun into a luxury hotel, and Grandma Liu has entered the Grand View Garden.

After reading the military report sent by Meng Tian and Jiang Hu Li Xin, Qin Shi Huang understood the purpose of this caravan from the Western Regions, so he was very happy to arrange for the Ministry of Rites to receive a warm reception, and also convened civil and military officials in the court hall to accept the bows and gift lists of these envoys and kings.

In order to strengthen the contact and exchanges between the Central Plains and the Western Regions, in order to allow these envoys and merchants of the Western Regions to submit to the Great Qin more desperately, Chen Xu proposed to hold a commodity exchange conference between the Central Plains and the Western Regions countries in the Keju Commercial Square above the court, so as to promote the commercial exchanges between the two places, and also let the Western Regions departments see the wealth of Great Qin.

Chen Xu's suggestion was not only strongly supported by the emperor and the Manchu civil and military, but also the envoys and merchants of the Western Regions.

Therefore, on the fifth day after this huge caravan arrived in Xianyang, a grand bazaar was grandly opened in the Keju Commercial Square, under the call of Chen Xu, under the proper arrangement of the Inner History Mansion and the six ministries of the three provinces, the merchants of all sizes in Xianyang set up thousands of stalls in the Keju Square, and put out the goods they operated, and also set aside a special area for the caravans of the Western Regions, and set up the Western Regions commodity area, so that the merchants from the Western Regions could put out all their goods.

In addition to these commodities, the riverside sightseeing garden built along the river is also full of spring flowers, and countless vendors and restaurants also put out various gourmet snacks and local specialties in the Central Plains, such as barbecue, steamed buns, steamed buns, flower rolls, noodles, dumplings, candies, pastries, preserved fruits, carefully cooked shrimp, crabs, fish and other delicacies constitute a snack street that is several miles long, and the aroma of the lingering exudation overflows on both sides of the Wei River.

Among the bustling crowds, there are girls in spring skirts, women pushing strollers, graceful chivalrous, well-mannered scribes, monks with buns, strangers holding flags to watch fortune tellers, rich people and officials in fancy clothes, and of course, a large number of civilians, dragging their families and mouths to and fro in it.

This grand commodity exchange meeting lasted for half a month, and a few days later, countless merchants and people from many towns near Xianyang who got the news came to the market, and at the same time brought a large number of goods to join the market feast.

Millions of people inside and outside Xianyang flock to the south bank of the Wei River every day like a tide to participate in this groundbreaking business event, visit the market, eat delicious food, noisy and noisy situation shakes the entire Guanzhong Plain, among the tourists who are busy with cars and horses, there are many Jianghu rangers stealing incense and stealing jade to make some extra money by the way, plus the lieutenant forbidden army patrolling back and forth in the crowd, in this spring season, Xianyang fell into an unprecedented jubilation.

With the passage of time, in the last few days, even the merchants of the neighboring counties of Sanchuan, Hedong, and Hanzhong hurriedly drove cattle and horses to the goods, trying to see the market and get a piece of the market at this commercial event, which was described by the merchants as the first bazaar in the world.

"It's really a groundbreaking business scene!"

A group of people stood on the tower of the east gate of Xianyang City, and the First Emperor held binoculars and sighed as he looked at the criss-crossing stalls and the bustling crowd on Keju Square.

"Such a grand occasion is really unprecedented, and the Marquis of Qinghe always has whimsical moves!" Feng Quji was also holding a telescope to observe the situation on the other side of the river.

"I heard that the Hu merchants from the Western Regions who came here have gone crazy for several times!" Meng Yi also held a telescope in his hand, and said with a twitch in his face.

"Why?" Both the emperor and Feng Quji put down their binoculars at the same time.

"Because they are too poor to buy the goods they want!" Shaofu ordered Zhao Wei to answer beside him.

"I see, what these Hu merchants in the Western Regions bring is only jade and animal skins, which are not worth much, but whether it is porcelain, glass, silk tea, or even pen, ink, paper and inkstone in my Central Plains, they are all things that they can't give up, and these things are also luxury things in my Great Qin, ordinary civilians can't afford to consume them, and it is reasonable that these Hu merchants can't afford to buy them!" Qin Shi Huang nodded slightly.

"Yesterday, the king of Shache came to the minister's mansion to ask for help, hoping to let the minister give them a few carts of porcelain on credit, and even begged and cried, but the old man did not agree!" Meng Yi pouted disdainfully.

Chen Xu: ......

For this cheap old man's business vision, Chen Xu is despised to the bones, Shache Guojun personally came to the door to ask for porcelain, quickly give him credit, Jiangxi porcelain factory to make tens of thousands of pieces of porcelain every year, in addition to the need for coal and personnel wages need to spend money, it is simply a million things, credit to Shache a few cars is not worth much at all, but it can form a monopoly position of Jiangxi porcelain in the Western Regions, the Western Regions to say that the bitter is indeed a bit bitter, but the Western Regions are actually very rich, gold and jade are not lacking, In particular, the merchants of the Western Regions and India and Central Asia have dealings, in these commercial exchanges, porcelain can be bought to Rome in a year at most, and it is estimated that a porcelain bowl needs to be exchanged for equivalent or even more gold, and in order to make money, King Shache will naturally spare no effort to send the money to Xianyang as soon as possible, and then buy more porcelain, it only takes a few years, Meng Yi can earn countless money by sitting in Xianyang.

It's a pity, it's a pity, this old man's brain is stuffed with the flesh of the concubine Bai Huahua, and his business vision is simply blind to the point of unbearable.

And this time to make a fortune is not long, after Chen Xu's voyage fleet bypassed the Strait of Malacca to find a navigation route to West Asia and Europe, the porcelain, glass, silk and tea of the big ship were transported over, and this commercial route on land will soon be abandoned, and it will not be easy to make a fortune at that time.

Since this opportunity is not looked down upon by the old man, he can operate it, after all, the output of his Qinghe porcelain factory is not small, although it is more expensive, but it can be cheaper to give credit to the merchants of the Western Regions, and then he can sit at home and carry the money in the big car, hehe!

"Why is Qinghe Hou laughing!" Jiancheng Zhaohai, who was standing beside Chen Xu, was a little hairy by Chen Xu's sudden inexplicable smile.

"Ben Hou just thought of Lord Meng's words and had a relative, a monarch actually cried his nose for a few carts of porcelain, it's really funny to think about it!" Chen Xu shook his head.

"What the Marquis of Qinghe said is that the tribal city-states of the Western Regions are only tens of thousands of people, and the small ones are only a few thousand, which is similar to a county town and town in my Great Qin, but it is really ridiculous that they dare to be kings!" Feng Quji also nodded in agreement.

"In a few days, this grand bazaar will be over, and this grand event will inevitably be talked about by the world's business travelers and people, according to my opinion, in the future, this commodity exchange bazaar can be fixed, held once in spring and autumn, Xianyang will be more lively!" The emperor put down his binoculars and spoke.

"Your Majesty, the minister also has this intention!" Chen Xu smiled and arched his hand.

"Your Majesty's thoughts coincide with those of your ministers, how can such a lively event be held only once, it is indeed a good idea to open the market in spring and autumn!" Feng Quji, Meng Yi and a group of princes and princes all surrendered together.

"In this way, the spring market will be set after the Shangsi Festival in March, and the autumn market will be set after the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, half a month at a time, just miss the spring planting and autumn harvest, so that the people can have leisure to participate in this lively market and event."

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

The emperor made a final decision on the arrangement of the Spring and Autumn Bazaar, and he was also very thoughtful, and Chen Xu and others naturally enthusiastically supported it.
