On the second day of the seventh month of the third year of the early peace of the Han Dynasty, Pei Qing pretended to be a salt merchant's caravan under the command of Hu Zhao and his personal generals Xu Chu and Fan Lin, as well as dozens of elite soldiers, and quietly left Wuguan and went to Chang'an.

In fact, because he knew that Pei Qing's trip was dangerous, several of his other personal generals Deng Dang, Zheng Chang and Xie Yingdeng all rushed to go, but because the three of them had been to Chang'an before, in order to avoid being recognized by the Xiliang army, Pei Qing took Xu Chu and Fan Lin, who were new faces, to go.

In order to achieve absolute secrecy, Pei Qing didn't even notify Chen Zhi, the general of the martial guard, anyway, he had in his hands the salt guide that he personally issued to allow him to sell salt and the road guide that allowed him to pass, and he was not afraid that Chen Zhi would not let him go.

However, Pei Qing didn't know that Chen had seen Fan Lin before, and when he saw Fan Lin pretending to be a merchant and personally escorting a stranger, he knew that this person must be extraordinary, so he couldn't help but pay more attention, and later combined with Pei Qing's height and back, he had a bold guess in his heart......

However, Chen Zhi did not show the thoughts in his heart, he knew that since the other party kept it secret, there must be a reason for secrecy, and he couldn't expose it casually.

So Chen Zhi pretended not to know them, and checked the salt and road guides with a blank face, and then let them go......

"Even Chen Shuzhi didn't recognize me, it seems that my disguise methods are still very clever." Pei Qing was secretly proud, but he didn't know that his identity had been faintly perceived, but this did not mean that Pei Qing's disguise methods were not high, because Chen Zhi guessed Pei Qing's identity through Fan Lin and Fan Lin's respect for Pei Qing.

Then Pei Qing led the crowd to Shang County.

Guarding here is Zhang Ji, the general of the Xiliang Army, in fact, after the capture of Chang'an, Li Ji originally wanted Zhang Ji to guard Hongnong, but the strategist Li Ru warned Li Dao that he didn't need to guard against Luoyang now, and only Duan Xuan was enough to guard the gate of Guanzhong, but Wuguan here must be strictly guarded, because Pei Qing's threat was too great, and he had to send a famous general to guard it, so Zhang Ji led more than 30,000 people to defend Shang County, and Hongnong became Li Wei's younger brother Li Huan.

Although Zhang Ji is also an old acquaintance, after all, now Pei Qing can disguise himself, and the soldiers under his command can restrain their murderous aura by Pei Qing's prompts, so Zhang Ji did not feel the iron-blooded murderous spirit of the soldiers from them, and regarded them as ordinary businessmen, and regarded them as ordinary businessmen.

In this way, after Pei Qing and the others paid the taxes in accordance with the regulations, they were easily released.

The first step was so smooth, which made Pei Qing's heart naturally happy, but he knew that this was just the easiest level, and the difficulties ahead would be even greater.

However, Pei Qing is not afraid, he believes that with the talents under his command, he will not lose whether it is a battle of wits and strength.

What happened then was relatively smooth, after passing through several checkpoints, and after paying a lot of taxes, Pei Qing finally came to Chang'an City.

However, Pei Qing has paid a lot of taxes along the way, according to the price of this batch of salt they "sell", this time Pei Qing's taxes accounted for eighty percent of the price of salt, which made Pei Qing very emotional, because of the many checkpoints, it is not easy to do business, which may also be a huge obstacle to the development of business, even so, the salt farm in Yingchuan Wuyang can make a profit of tens of millions of dollars every month, if the salt in the salt field is open to sale, if the merchants have more, It is estimated that the profit will increase exponentially.

"Hehe, the ancients implemented the monopoly policy of salt and iron, and it was really a large amount of profit, and now I understand that the so-called heavy agriculture and suppression of business is actually just to suppress private businessmen, and the majority of the money is in the government, which is the so-called suppression of private businessmen into official businessmen, right? But I don't think so, after all, the people have no money, the market is still narrow, if the market is as vast as the Song and Yuan dynasties, how much profit can be made just by collecting taxes every year? In fact, salt and iron can be run by the government, but the rest should be reduced control, no business does not live, only when the business is developed, the economy will be active, besides, we can find a way to make money from foreign merchants and people, as long as the Han is really prosperous, it will naturally be able to attract foreign merchants, and then we can exchange our silk and other products for a lot of wealth. ”

Pei Qing felt that he had gained a lot from his trip to Chang'an, and secretly decided that he could discuss with Lu Su after he went back.

After all, Lu Su's wisdom is not covered, and he is still a wealthy businessman, so he should have more unique experience and experience in this regard.

Chang'an had more censorship than other places, but Pei Qing's procedures were complete, and he was still selling the salt that Chang'an needed most, so he didn't have to make much effort to enter the city, and then according to the designated place, the salt was pushed into Chang'an West City.

Although it was in the war, the official market in Chang'an was still very prosperous, and several large truckloads of salt brought by Pei Qing and them were sold out in less than an hour.

"It's still businessmen who make money." Looking at the money silk watching the car, Pei Qing sighed again, and then found a private hostel to rest.

The reason why I chose a private hostel is mainly for the convenience of access, after all, it is not regulated by the government, and it is relatively free to come and go.

Despite this, the control in the city is still relatively strict, especially at night, there are a large number of soldiers patrolling the streets every day, and there are heavy troops stationed in the palace, and now that the princess is in the palace, it is really not easy to see her.

In this case, Pei Qing had to find a way to take the initiative to contact, Pei Qing observed for three consecutive days during the day, and found that there was a vegetable farmer who sent vegetables to the palace every day at dusk, so Pei Qing found the vegetable farmer, bought him with a lot of money, and asked the vegetable farmer to take him to the palace for a long time.

The vegetable farmer's name is Hu San, and he can't figure out what's good about the palace? Although it is magnificent, but now that the Son of Heaven is in decline, the fierce Xiliang soldiers in the palace and even the princes and ministers are worried about their lives if they are not careful, and their ordinary people are not even a single grass, this young man actually took the initiative to make up here, and he is really not afraid of death.

However, Hu San coveted Pei Qing's belongings, and felt that since the other party gave him so much money, he would not be able to use it up for the rest of his life, so what was there to go by himself? It's a big deal to finish this time today, just run away immediately.

Hu San asked Pei Qing to pretend to be his nephew, and after bringing Pei Qing into the palace, he left under the pretext, he got a lot of property, where does he care about Pei Qing's life or death? directly took his wife and children, simply cleaned up, left Chang'an, and returned to the countryside to live his own good life.

Pei Qing didn't count on Hu San from the beginning, he found a place to hide after coming to the palace, until it was completely dark, and then he took advantage of the guards' inattention and quietly slipped outside the palace gate of Princess Wannian, during which he knocked out a small yellow door, put on his clothes, and prepared to sneak into the palace.

"Wan Nian, I'm here, are you okay now?" Pei Qing held back the excitement in his heart and said silently.
