The morning sun rose, and the dense fog in Chang'an had not yet dissipated.

One piece of news detonated public opinion - last night Zhijinwu dispatched to arrest all the merchants in the entire Huai City, and none of them were left, and they were all taken back to Zhijinwu's ship prison!

Countless people heard the news, and a mouthful of old blood spurted out.

Even in the court, many eunuchs were like mourners.

The sub-money merchants in Huai City, I don't know how many people have money bags and white gloves.

This was suddenly served in a pot......

A lot of people have gone into it.

Especially the eunuchs......

The eunuchs of the Han Dynasty love money and are greedy for money, and as long as they have power in their hands, they will desperately cash out.

But what should I do if I get the gold money in my hand and have nowhere to spend it?

In order not to make the old scene bleak, many eunuchs, especially the great eunuchs, chose to take the money to make money for the merchants.

And the easiest place to make money is, of course, Huai City!

But......

The mall is risky, so you need to be cautious when entering!

Well, now they have worked hard, made a lifetime of money, and saved a lifetime of wealth, and they are all going to be confiscated!

From the Yang Palace to the Changle Palace to the Jianzhang Palace and even the Ganquan Palace, I cried in an instant.

But the owner of Jianzhang Palace was already rolling on the ground with laughter.

"More than 70,000 gold, all kinds of coinage are counted in 100,000 yuan......" Just looking at this preliminary estimate of the wealth figure, he already just wanted to sing a song of the wind.

Not to mention, other lands, mansions, manors, and slaves don't know how much to copy!

The wealth of the Han merchant opened his eyes again.

If you don't think about it, you have to leave a few lambs for your sons and grandsons to slaughter.

He couldn't help but want to send someone to Yang Ke's grave to issue an edict, so that this capable official could quickly crawl out of the grave and continue to work.

"These profiteers are really harmful!" Although his heart was as happy as the New Year, his majesty had a heavy, regretful and hateful look on his face: "With so much wealth, I don't know how many people's blood has been sucked and how many people's fat and ointment have been eaten!" ”

"Zhi Jinwu ......" He raised his eyes and looked at Wang Mang who was standing in front of him, and said: "Go and tell the prince that this case is handled by the prince, and Qing and Yushi Zhongcheng will assist ......."

"No!" Wang Mang bowed his head and bowed: "The minister respectfully obeys the edict!" ”

It's just that......

The prince is known for his gentleness and kindness.

Let him kill so many people this time......

Will there be a problem?

But looking at the Son of Heaven with a serious face, Wang Mang didn't dare to ask this question after all.

The problem between Liu's father and son, as a courtier, he didn't dare to care.

Watching Wang Mang follow suit and withdraw from this hall, the Son of Heaven sat down, pinched the music, looked outside the palace, and sighed deeply.

This problem of educating his son made him very troubled.

It's not just the prince.

Guangling Wang Xu, Yan Wang Dan, and Changyi Wang Ji, none of these three sons made him worry.

Leaning back slightly on the couch and rubbing his temples, he let out a sigh of relief.

…………………………

At this time, the messenger who set out from Chang'an a few days ago finally crossed the mountains, entered the Hanzhong Plain from the ancient plank road, and came to Nanzheng, where the Hanzhong County Guardian Office was located.

Since the Shangyong earthquake 50 years ago, the geography of the entire Hanzhong has been reshaped.

In addition, the Wudu earthquake that occurred 32 years before the Shangyong earthquake crossed the upper reaches of the Han River, causing the Jialing River to encroach on the basin that originally belonged to the Han River, forcing the Han River to be diverted, and forming a huge dammed lake north of Longmen Mountain, which eroded northward, forming several huge lake groups.

Therefore, in the present, the geographical transportation of Shu County-Han River, which was familiar in the Warring States Period, has changed beyond recognition.

Even if Han Xin is reincarnated now, he can't play the trick of Ming Xiu Plank Road and Dark Chen Cang.

Now, however, it will take time for this geographical upheaval.

The Jialing River encroached on the ancient Han River and will continue for hundreds of years.

And due to the existence of the dammed lake caused by the earthquake, in fact, the water traffic between Shu County, Hanzhong and the southwest region has even become smoother.

The Han army could sail up to the southwestern hinterland, which was surrounded by mountains.

There were frequent business trips, and there was even a large-scale slave trade.

Therefore, as soon as the envoy entered Hanzhong, he handed over the order from Chang'an to Ouyang Xunhou, the Taishou of Hanzhong.

In less than a few days, the entire Hanzhong, Shu County, Jianwei County, and Wudu County received this direct instruction from the Son of Heaven in Chang'an: order the southwestern counties, the barbarian kings, and the marquis to send soldiers and people to dig up the head and squat the owl to lose the pass, such as the story of Taizong's loss of Su and donation.

So the entire southwest region exploded in an instant.

Frogs, squatting owls, these things are all over the mountains in the southwest.

Even the local primitive tribes are reluctant to eat it unless it is a time of famine.

It is mainly toxic when eaten raw, which can cause bleeding gums and swollen tongue.

And when cooked, it doesn't taste very good.

Now the Son of Heaven in Chang'an actually needs these things? And a knighthood as a reward?

Not to mention the people of Southwest Yi.

The soldiers and civilians of Shu County, Hanzhong, Jianwei, and Wudu also said that pie fell from the sky.

Today, the substructure of the Han family's military merit system has collapsed.

But the senior lords above the five doctors are still very attractive.

Especially for those who have been exiled to Jianwei and Wudu, and they all dream of returning to their hometowns.

Especially for those large and small Southwest Yi tribes who dreamed of going to Chang'an to pay tribute and were canonized by the Son of Han Dynasty.

Besides, the title of the Han family can be used to redeem money for crimes!

Under the call of the five-baht money god and title, the entire southwest region immediately fell into the frenzy of the competition of 'digging the head and squatting the owl'.

The barbarian kings recognized by the Han dynasty, such as Yelang, Yu, Xuan, and Dian, used their strength to mobilize the country's troops and slaves to dig up the squatting owls that were found all over the mountains.

For them, obviously, if they can rely on digging and squatting, they can get a chance to meet the Son of Heaven and be rewarded for it, it will be a big profit!

And the businessmen who saw the business opportunity also joined in, buying those once worthless and squatting owls everywhere.

Anyway, even if you charge 10,000 stones, it won't cost you a few dollars.

But these 10,000 stone squatting ducks can be transported to Guanzhong and exchanged for titles, gold and even salt and iron products.

This has made the abundant resources of squatting and squatting owls in the southwest region suddenly tightened.

Every day, on the edge of the Minjiang River, the Eastern Han River, the Southern Han River, and the rivers such as Diving and Baishui, there are people who pile piles of dug piles of dug heads and squatting owls on the bamboo rafts, and then put them down.

Through the convenience brought by the temporary rise in the water level after the earthquake, these rhizome foods were transported to Hanzhong, and then transported by land from the ancient Baochuan Road to Guanzhong.
