"General, this is the original site of my Chencang County."

Looking at the earthen walls that had been eroded by the wind and sand, it was difficult for Wei Kai to connect the ruins in front of him with the military fortress in his memory in his previous life.

Looking around, there is no other building except a piece of loess or a few green trees. "I didn't expect that after only a hundred years, the border fortress would be abandoned to this point", Wei Kai replied thoughtfully to the words of the person next to him.

"Wind and sand can corrode tall walls, but they can't destroy firm hearts.

If it weren't for the princely family's blind greed for pleasure and business, the general might be able to appreciate the ancient city in the Wengong period", a middle-aged man with an ordinary face, a thin body, and although he was not very old, his hair had gradually grayed, he looked at the ruins in front of him, stroked his beard and said abruptly.

Wei Kai smiled after listening to the words of the man next to him, but did not speak.

This person is called Wang Pi, and he was originally the Sikou of Chencang County.

Five years ago, when the clan was in rebellion, Chencang County Order, Sima and other officials were secretly killed by the clan, but the Qin court said that the thieves were assassinated, and then the ministers of the clan were used to manage everything in Chencang, taking the opportunity to take over all the power.

Wang Pi was very talented and well-known in the local area, and the family loved him and wanted to recruit him as their adviser.

It's a pity that Wang Pi knows the faces of the people of the world, and is unwilling to help the abuse, not only did not agree to the request of the family, but scolded the family, saying that it was a disaster for the countryside and a moth for the country.

The clan resented him for this, but they were not willing to simply let him die. Therefore, he was kept in captivity in the Chencang County Ya Prison, and only a small amount of food was provided every day, trying to trap him alive in the dungeon.

Later, Wei Kai set things right, and he was able to see the light of day again.

However, it may be to live alone for a long time, or to understand the suffering of people's livelihood. Every time Wei Kai met him, he would admonish Wei Kai, explain the truth by borrowing things, and let him be sympathetic to the people's livelihood, not to relax himself, and to be greedy for enjoyment.

At first, Wei Kai would argue with him, but maybe he admired his enthusiasm and noble character or couldn't stand his chatter, so Wei Kai didn't argue with him later.

However, Wang Pi is indeed a talented person, unlike Wei Kainai, who is a native of Wei, he is a descendant of the native elder Qin.

But unlike the old Qin people, who only fought and killed, they were good at handling political affairs, and helped Wei Kai handle all the big and small affairs in Chencang in an orderly manner, which satisfied Wei Kai.

"What Master Si Kou said is really thought-provoking, Wei Kai has been taught", Wei Kai saluted Wang Pi after listening.

Wei Kai went out to patrol this time, not to enjoy the scenic spots in the Chencang area, but to re-survey the terrain in the territory, understand the people's livelihood in various places, collect relevant intelligence, and facilitate the deployment later.

The county seat of Chencang was originally the period of Qin Wengong, the old Qin people drove away the Xirong and other tribes who originally lived here, incorporated the remnants of the Zhou Dynasty, used them for their own use, and then built a city, thus extending the territory of the Qin State to the west of Qishan.

However, the former site of Chencang is located on the border of the Qin State, and it often clashes with the descendants of the Rong, Hydro and other tribes that are still scattered here.

But later, the old family was greedy for pleasure and did not fall into fighting, so the county seat of Chencang moved to the area of the Huangshui Valley, which was closer to Yongdu, and the old city of Chencang was abandoned.

After Wei Kai took over the order of Chencang, he sorted out and looked through the official documents in Chencang and found that Chencang under the governance of the old family only recorded the tax and population situation in the area near Chencang County, Yu County, Dongcang and Changchuan.

However, when Wei Kai left Liyang, he once flipped through the bamboo slips of the Qin Palace and found that during the period of Qin Mugong, Mu Gong once led an army to fight a big battle with Shu in Chencang.

In history, Mu Gong led an army of 30,000 and fought with the Shu Hydroxy coalition army in Chushui, killing 15,000 coalition troops, and countless people surrendered. Mu Gong got the land back, and turned the land of Shu into the south of the Qin State, so that the historian could record it in order to show his merits.

The word Pingnan did not appear on the official document of Chencang County, and Wei Kai was very strange. So, he took Wang Pi on a field trip, and by the way, he explored the people's livelihood in various places in Chencang.

Just as Wang Bi wanted to continue to admonish Wei Kai, the sergeant who was guarding Wei Kai and his party came to report that an unknown army had been found nearby.

After Wei Kai heard this, he hurriedly asked all the guards to be on guard, and after placing Wang Pi, Wei Kai took a small number of soldiers and followed the sentinels who discovered the enemy's situation to further investigate the enemy's situation.

There are traces of the army? Wei Kai was very puzzled on the way there. You must know that all the private soldiers of the Chencang clan who resisted were killed by Wei Kai outside Chencang City when they attacked the military camp.

At this point, there is no armed force in Chencang that can resist Wei Kai, which is also the confidence that Wei Kai dared to start changing the law with great fanfare, dared to take Wang Pi, and explored the people's livelihood in various places with a small number of guards.

Could it be the dead of the old family of Yongdu? Wei Kai suddenly thought.

However, Yongdu is in the northeast of Chencang, and the former site of Chencang, that is, the Pingnan area, is located in the southwest of Chencang. Even if you want to sneak attack Wei Kai, you don't have to take such a big detour.

You must know that Pingnan is a land of mountains and forests, although Mu Gong turned Shu into Qin, but there are still Shu and other tribes living here, not to mention the countless flowers, grasses, insects and snakes in the mountains and forests, which are highly poisonous things for people who do not live here for many years.

Could it be the army of Shu? Wei Kai and his party slowly followed the sentry, lying on a hillside, with countless doubts, cautiously observing the group of people not far from the hillside.

Not far away, I saw about 30 heavily armed soldiers walking slowly on the rugged mountain road. There were also seven or eight people in the team carrying a palanquin with a simple texture, under the banner of Qin characters.

Wei Kai looked at the Qinzi flag fluttering in the wind, and Wei Xingxing already understood the general situation.

Then Wei Kai left a sergeant who was good at tracking to monitor, and he returned with the group of people who were investigating, and joined Wang Pi and his party who were stationed there and quickly returned to Chencang City.

The place of the slave trade was originally in Pingnan, in the newly built official office in Chencang, Wei Kai looked at the map on the wall that he had collected relevant materials and combined with the memories of later generations, and said silently in his heart.

When the first king left an edict and appointed Wei Kai as Chen Cangling, he entrusted Wei Kai with two things. Or to be precise, the first king arranged an opportunity for the successor King Qin to enhance his prestige and unite people's hearts.

One is to hope that Wei Kai can carry out changes in Chencang, and then promote it to the whole country, so as to enhance the strength of the Qin State. The other was to destroy the slave trade in the territory of the Qin State.

At the beginning, Qin continued to fight foreign wars, and Qin Xiangong needed the support of a large number of people, so he had a tacit attitude towards the domestic slave trade.

However, although the long-term slave trade brought enough war population to the Qin state, it also caused the Qin commoners to go bankrupt one after another, and were forcibly reduced to slaves by the Shi clan to obtain a large amount of wealth, which seriously damaged the internal rule of the Qin state.

Now that the Qin State has begun to rectify its internal affairs, it means that the slave trade is no longer needed, but on the contrary, it is necessary to severely crack down on the slave trade, safeguard the interests of the Qin people, and unite the people.

It's a pity that the greedy old clan only knows how to plunder the wealth of the people, but they don't know that they have always been pawns in the eyes of King Qin. Even if the previous kings died, their value would be completely squeezed out.

Now when Wei Kai took office as Chen Cangling, the Qin family was calculated by Wei Kai again and again, resulting in heavy losses.

And the court of the Qin State also benefited from Wei Kai's strategy of killing three soldiers with two peaches, and the rift between the old clan and the new clan was getting bigger and bigger, and the power of the Qin clan was currently greatly weakened.

Now as long as Wei Kai exterminates the slave trade, he can comfort the spirit of the previous king in the sky and live up to the kindness of King Qin to Wei Kai during his lifetime.

Unfortunately, the slave trade was very hidden in Chencang. The clans involved in the transaction only knew that there would be special people to the outskirts of Chencang County every month to buy the people and commodities they were making, and they knew nothing else.

Thinking that he saw the Qin Ziqi during the day, Wei Xingxing was very happy.

Unexpectedly, he accidentally started to investigate the people's livelihood, and he actually found the mysterious slave trade. The Qinzi flag fluttering in the wind was the symbol that Wei Kai saw in the Liyang Slave Pavilion at the beginning.

It's really intentional to plant flowers that don't bloom, and unintentionally planting willows and willows into the shade, Wei thought happily.
