Xianyang.

As the most powerful country in the Warring States at this moment, the capital of Qin is actually far less prosperous than Handan, Daliang or Linzi.

Since the Shang Dynasty changed the law, the cultivation and warfare strategies implemented by the Qin State have been very unfriendly to the Shang Jia. Although Shang Ying was later killed by a car, the content of the reform was not abolished, and Qin was still the country with the most serious suppression of merchants among the Seven Kingdoms, and Xianyang lacked many merchants as a floating population because of this.

Therefore, although the area of Xianyang is not less than that of the other capitals of the six countries, the flow of people is far behind.

A carriage passed through the sparsely populated street of Xianyang and slowly came to the gate of an extremely richly decorated mansion. A middle-aged man in black clothes and black robes on the carriage slowly got out of the carriage and arched his hand towards the guard at the door: "Labor is troubled, and the guard Lu Buwei asks to see Yangquanjun." ”

"Guardian Lu Buwei?" The guard at the door frowned, looked Lu Buwei up and down a few times, and said with a little impatience: "My lord, is that what you can see if you want to?" Let's go, don't be an eyesore here! ”

Yangquanjun, the nephew of the eighth son of the Empress Dowager Xuan, the cousin of Qin Wangji, the current monarch of Qin, and more importantly, the sister of this feudal monarch is the most favored Mrs. Huayang of An Guojun, the prince of Qin.

With the blessing of these multiple identities, although the current Yangquan Jun is only a feudal monarch without any real power in the Qin State, no one dares to underestimate him, and he belongs to that kind of very transcendent existence.

Such a big man, of course, is not a small, never-famous "Wei Ren Lu Buwei" who can meet him whenever he wants to.

The smile on Lu Buwei's face did not change in the slightest, and he saw his right hand move slightly, and a small money bag suddenly appeared in his palm. In the next second, the money bag was in the hands of the guards in front of Lu Buwei.

I saw Lu Buwei smile and said: "The contemptible person is entrusted by the Taishou Wang Ji of Hedong County, and he wants to see Yangquanjun if he has something, and brings some Hedong specialties, and please pass it on." ”

When he said the word "specialty", Lü Buwei glanced at the other carriage that followed behind his carriage.

"Hedong is too shou Wang Ji?" The guard's expression moved slightly, he checked the money bag in his hand, and glanced at the carriage full of things behind Lu Buwei, his face looked a little better, and said to Lu Buwei: "In this case, you wait here." With that, he walked through the door.

Lu Buwei stood there quietly, looking at the extremely richly decorated mansion in front of him, and he felt a little envious and emotional in his heart.

These princes and relatives can be crowned with the title of king just by virtue of their origin, and they will be rich and worry-free for life, and they will be at the top of the pyramid.

However, Lü Buwei has been working hard for his career since he was young, and even if he has reached the top level of the businessman and the wealthy now, he still has to work hard to go further.

How different the fate of people is!

Lü Buwei was a very conceited and ambitious man, he not only made his business prosperous, but also assiduously studied the books he bought from various places at great expense in his spare time, and worked hard to study knowledge and statecraft, so that he could have the opportunity to show his strength on the real big stage in the future.

Business has never been the pinnacle of life that Lü Buwei has set for himself.

After obtaining a wealth that ordinary people dare not imagine, Lü Buwei also wanted to use his wealth as a stepping stone to open the way for himself.

However, due to the distinction between "Shinong, Industrialist, and Industrialist" that had already been formed in this society, and the ruling class's subconscious aversion to the profession of businessman, Lü Buwei repeatedly ran into a wall in both a large country like Zhao and a small country like Weiguo, and was not allowed to enter the door.

It wasn't until he met Zhao Yiren, the proton of the Qin State, in Zhao State that Lü Buwei suddenly realized that it seemed that his opportunity had finally appeared.

After some careful thinking and planning, Lü Buwei carefully designed a plan to support Zhao Yiren to ascend to the throne of the Qin State, so that Lü Buwei, as the biggest contributor to supporting Zhao Yiren, will naturally have a meritorious title.

However, what Lu Buwei never expected was that his plan had just been conceived and had not had time to be implemented, and it had already been seen through by Zhao Dan, the monarch of Zhao State.

In the banquet at the Pingyang Jun Zhao Bao's Mansion not long ago, Zhao Dan suddenly appeared, first asked Lü Buwei right, and then named Lü Buwei as the guest secretary of Zhao State, and finally broke Lü Buwei's plan, the whole process was simply twists and turns, making Lü Buwei almost fall from heaven to hell.

Fortunately, Lü Buwei was in a hurry and changed his plan in time, saving his life and his future.

Lü Buwei still remembers what Zhao Dan said to himself after listening to his plan.

"Lu Qing supported Zhao Yiren, and the person he wanted was none other than the position of Qin Xiang. With Lu Qing's great talent and Zhao Guo, who helped the widows, Qin will be defeated. If Qin is defeated, the world will be unified in the hands of my Zhao State, but I don't know the position of Qin Xiang, how is it compared to the phase of the world? The widow can allow Lu Qing, when the world is unified, it will be the day when Lu Qing is the state of the world! ”

This is the benefit that Zhao Dan gave to Lu Buwei.

What is the Xiangbang of the Qin State? No matter how good the Qin State is, it is only one of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States! As long as Lü Buwei is willing to help Zhao Guo, then when Zhao State unifies the world, Lü Buwei will be the prime minister of the whole world!

When Lu Buwei heard Zhao Dan's words, he was shocked on the spot.

He was not only shocked by Zhao Dan's ambition, but also shocked by Zhao Dan's trust.

With the dignity of the second most powerful country in the world, it takes so much courage and appreciation to promise the position of the future prime minister of the world to a "businessman" who is simply despised by the ruling class, and how much courage and appreciation is needed to make such a promise!

With his skills in recognizing people in the shopping mall for many years, Lu Buwei could see that Zhao Dan was very serious when he said that.

Of course, Lü Buwei knew that Zhao Dan was painting a cake, but the cake that Zhao Dan drew was not a castle in the air, but as long as Lü Buwei did it and achieved Zhao Dan's goal, he would be able to eat the cake in his mouth!

Not only that, before Lü Buwei set off, Zhao Dan secretly summoned Lü Buwei, explained the existence of Hu Yiwei to Lü Buwei, and informed Lü Buwei that all Hu Yiwei's spies located in the territory of Qin would fully cooperate with Lü Buwei's actions.

If Zhao Dan's painting cake was still somewhat suspicious of mouth cannons before, but this time his actions are really real trust.

You must know that with Zhao Dan's actions, once Lü Buwei betrays Zhao State, then Zhao's spy network in Qin State will be destroyed in an instant, and it will be wiped out by the Qin people.

So the question is, will Lü Buwei betray Zhao State?

Thinking of this, Lu Buwei subconsciously straightened his body.

If Lü Buwei's plan had already succeeded at this moment, then it was not easy to say whether Lü Buwei would take Zhao Dan's words seriously.

But although today's Lü Buwei is rich in the world, he has always been regarded by the people of the world as "a person who sells cheap and expensive, and pursues profits and unrighteousness", and has never been able to get the respect that can match his wealth, and has always been despised and suppressed by the ruling class.

Today's Lü Buwei is still in a state of being rich, but being looked down upon. Limited by his status, Lü Buwei even had to salute those little nobles who were far inferior to himself and put on a respectful attitude.

At such a time, the trust from Zhao Dan, the monarch of Zhao State, was invaluable to Lü Buwei.

Don't forget that Lu Buwei is a descendant of Jiang Taigong Lu Wang after all, and in his heart, he has always regarded himself as a descendant of the royal family and a scholar.

Soldier, die for his confidant.

In Lu Buwei's heart, he is also arrogant and arrogant.

If you treat me as a countryman, I will treat me as a countryman!

Since King Zhao looks up to Lü Buwei so much, Lü Buwei has to prove to the world - King Zhao, he is not wrong!

At this time, the guard who had just entered the pass appeared in front of Lu Buwei again.

This time, the guard's tone was much more polite: "Mr. Lu, the lord is invited, please come in." ”
