Chapter 249: Spread the word

In Xiyang, Huangzhou, thousands of empty alleys, men, women and children crowded on both sides of Chengnan Avenue, crowded so that the soldiers who lined up on the wall to maintain order were overwhelmed, although the soldiers kept shouting "don't squeeze", but still could not stop the enthusiasm of the people.

Today is a terrible day, the Son of Heaven moved from Anlu to Xiyang, the people of Xiyang were excited to hear the news, everyone was waiting to be stained with "dragon energy", to see how majestic the Son of Heaven's honor guard was, and there was a lot to talk about after going home.

In addition to the local people, there are many outsiders who live here temporarily, so there are many people who speak a variety of foreign accents in the crowd of people, and various dialects are not lively together.

The outsiders in Xiyang are basically landless people in various states and counties who come to business or come to beg for a living, and now it is "working time", and those who "work" in various workshops and farms cannot be absent from work and run out to see the excitement at this time.

Therefore, most of the outsiders present are businessmen who are ridiculed as "valuing righteousness and ignoring parting", they have been running around all the year round, and their knowledge is much stronger than that of ordinary people, and they are more well-informed than ordinary people.

Now the situation in the Zhou State is in chaos, the Yuwen clan and the Yuchi clan have broken up, and many people in Shannan still don't know what is going on, but the merchants are very clear about the fire, and they understand very well, the situation is chaotic, the war is spreading, and the merchants who travel back and forth between the south and the north of the world are easy to lose if they don't understand the situation.

For merchants from all over the world, the arrival of the Son of Heaven in Xiyang is a great event, which means that the Yuwen clan has not only initially resisted the attack of the Wei Chi clan militarily, but also pulled back a game politically.

According to the previous news, the Son of Heaven is said to have been "assassinated and died" in Yecheng and became the "first emperor", but he was met by the king of Xiyang in the hanging gourd and came to Shannan.

Of course, whether the Son of Heaven who came to Xiyang today is really not a matter of words, well-informed businessmen will not be easily misled by the grapevine, but they also know that since this Son of Heaven dares to inspect Xiyang with such fanfare, it means that it is not unlikely that he is a real person.

Because in Xiyang, there are many people who have seen the true dragon emperor.

Not to mention anything else, the prestige of Huangzhou Prefecture is now getting louder and louder, and there are many scholars and scholars who have learned a lot, many of whom have held literary official positions in the court and have seen the Son of Heaven.

For example, the "two Lius" who lectured in the state school, one of them, Liu Zhuo, was an assistant teacher in Yecheng before he came to Xiyang, and naturally he had seen the Son of Heaven, and there were other famous scholars and Confucians with similar experiences, and most of them had seen the Son of Heaven when they were in Yecheng.

Scholars, there is always a sense of arrogance, if the Son of Heaven who came to Xiyang today is an impostor, maybe some of these Confucians dare not speak up, but there will also be people who are iron-clad and piercing the lie on the spot, so the Son of Heaven dares to come to Xiyang, which means that he is not "a thief".

Most of the merchants in Xiyang thought that if the Son of Heaven was true, then it would be very likely that the Yuwen clan would stabilize the hearts of the people in Guanzhong and Shannan, so it was also very likely that the Zhou State would split into the Eastern and Western Zhou, which meant new business opportunities.

The cloth (dyed cloth), soap, glass products, white porcelain, and books produced in Xiyang, Huangzhou have been sold all over the world, and even have popularity in Yecheng, which will not end because of the division of the Zhou State, but will lead to the "strange goods" of Huangzhou goods in the east because of the confrontation between the east and the west.

And just a few days ago, a group of grain ships came from the upstream, and went downstream through Xiyang, and the inside information about this fleet quickly spread throughout Xiyang, and everyone understood that this was the envoy of Chen Guo who returned to Jiankang with the grain of Shannan, and the envoy of Zhou (Yuwen's) was also accompanied by the envoy of Zhou (Yuwen).

The two countries made peace and jointly attacked Wei Chi's clan, which is very likely to become a reality.

That means that the trade route between the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River is open again!

Merchants do business, is to rely on low in and high out, with goods to travel around to make the difference, and to do this, you need to be well-informed, in Xiyang businessmen, extremely glad that they happened to be in the city at this time.

Such an important news is enough for them to lay out in advance, of course, first of all, they have to find a way to raise more funds, hurry to the workshops to buy goods, and if it is too late, they will be taken the lead.

And some people's brains turned quickly, and they realized the intention of the Son of Heaven to come to Xiyang: to let the scholars and businessmen gathered in Xiyang spread the news of the orthodox Son of Heaven coming to Shannan in all directions.

This is called "spreading the word".

。。。。。。

At the south wharf of Xiyang City, the civil and military officials of the Huangzhou Governor's Office and the main officials of the prefectures under its jurisdiction gathered here, standing in line according to the size of the official rank, and discharging the most solemn pomp and circumstance to welcome the Son of Heaven who is about to come to Xiyang.

The royal driver took the waterway, the Son of Heaven boarded the ship in Anlu, entered the Yangtze River through the water and then went down the river to Xiyang, so the officials greeted the royal driver at the riverside wharf in the south of the city, and all the matters in the city to pick up the driver have been prepared, just waiting to pick up people.

The Son of Heaven went out on patrol, the pomp and circumstance were naturally not small, not to mention the whole process of the Shannan Dao Daxing Taishang Shuling, there were many entourages such as the forbidden army and the guards, as well as the honor guard and the army of the outer guards, the scale of thousands of people, it was not easy to receive.

If it was the dilapidated Xiyang seven or eight years ago, it would have been very difficult to receive the Son of Heaven, but now Xiyang has undergone earth-shaking changes, and the financial resources are increasing every year.

As soon as he thought of this, Huang Governor Shi Hao Wu Bo was heartbroken.

It is true that the income of the Huangzhou State Treasury has increased significantly every year, but it has also been spent a lot, not to mention that there have been large-scale expenditures everywhere this year, and there is a war again.

Spending money is like running water, spending money is like flowing water!

As the handler, Hao Wubo, like the shopkeeper who helps the owner settle the accounts, watching a large amount of money and grain constantly circulating in his hands, he is already in a trance and even numb, he never thought that he would have the opportunity to grasp such a huge amount of "financial cash flow" at a young age.

"Long history?"

"Huh?"

"The boat is docked."

"Oh..."

Sima Yuwen of Huangzhou on the side reminded the distracted Hao Wubo that at this time, the imperial boat on which the Son of Heaven was riding had docked, and everyone would salute and bow to the Son of Heaven for a while, and Hao Wubo, who would be distracted, would stand alone, which was extremely rude.

The relevant etiquette of welcoming the car is naturally arranged and commanded, and everyone only needs to act in accordance with the process that has been informed in advance.

After the pedals were put in place and the guards landed on the shore and lined up, Yuwen Qiankeng, who was dressed in the crown robe of the Son of Heaven, boarded the dock with his head held high in the company of Shangshu Lingyu Wenming, a Daxingtai scholar in Shannan Road.

All the civil and military officials present shouted long live and saluted the young Son of Heaven, and the scene was very grand, which made many petty officials so excited that they could hardly help themselves.

Yuwen Qiankeng talked with the main officials who greeted him for a while, walked towards the prepared royal chariot, and stopped for some reason when he was about to board the car.

"Can this chariot remove the roof and the curtain?"

As soon as these words came out, the officials present were a little unable to come back to their senses, and Yu Wenming on the side asked: "Your Majesty, if there is no roof and curtain, I am afraid that it will be inappropriate, once there are traitors mixed in the crowd..."

"This is Xiyang City under the rule of King Xiyang." Yuwen Qiankeng first faced Yu Wenming, and then turned to the official in front of him, "I don't think there will be rebels in the city. ”

Hearing this request, the officials looked at each other, saw Yu Wenming nodding, and hurriedly ran to the imperial chariot in person to remove the roof.

Yuwen Qiankeng climbed on the railing of the carriage and stood, Yu Wenming hurriedly followed the boarding, standing behind the Son of Heaven as a guard in case of accidents, left and right Xiaogong Boyu Culture and Liu Jushi led the guards to follow the imperial chariot left and right, followed by the civil and military officials who greeted them, all on foot.

The south gate of Xiyang City slowly opened, and the prepared guard of honor marched towards the city, and the people on both sides of the street who watched the bustle instantly quieted down, looking at the royal chariot in the guard of honor dumbfounded.

What they were looking forward to at the beginning was to see the legendary royal chariot inlaid with gold and jade, but they didn't expect that this imperial chariot was like a flatbed carriage, and the young man standing on the carriage by the railing, with a high-sounding sound, could it be...

I don't know who shouted, "Long live the Son of Heaven," and then everyone shouted, and saw some people kneeling and prostrating, and the people on both sides of the street also kneeling and prostrating. Even the soldiers who lined up on the wall to maintain order laid down their weapons and knelt down towards the royal chariot.

Countless people shouted "Long live the Son of Heaven", the sound was surging like a tide, Yuwen Qiankeng, who was standing on the railing, looked at the scene in front of him, and his heart was excited, this is the glory that the Son of Heaven should enjoy, he has experienced it in Anlu, but at this moment he is particularly excited.

Xiyang, Huangzhou, is the land under the rule of the king of Xiyang, all industries are prosperous, businessmen gather, and the dignified Zhou Tianzi is coming, there is no need to hide your head and show your tail!

I want everyone to spread the word, so that everyone in the world knows who is the son of heaven in Da Zhou!
