Section 153 A city
After Wei Ran shouted, he waved his hand to signal the person to go out, turned to Ying Li and said, "Ligong, can I bother you to make arrangements at this time." ”
"Of course, I believe that the children of the Ying family will not betray the country."
"Inevitably!"
Ying Li is grateful to Wei Ran in his heart, this big plan, this is an opportunity to make meritorious contributions to the Ying clan.
Who would have thought that there would be a force secretly controlled by the Qin State in the Qi State.
Bai Hui was at fault in this matter, and he forgot to report it to King Qin.
It has been five days since the King of Qin knew the news, and it was Wei Ran who sent a fast horse to rush back, and there was only one sentence in Wei Ran's secret letter, Hui had a big plan, and the minister had carried it out.
What the big plan, King Qin didn't know at all.
King Qin went to ask the Empress Dowager Xuan, but the Empress Dowager Xuan didn't know.
Empress Dowager Xuan said: "In this way, it is just evening, send someone to order Baihui Mansion to prepare some exquisite food, the king of Chu is about to arrive, and the matter of negotiating with Chu should also be discussed." In other words, why is the cook of Xianyang Palace so stupid. ”
Empress Dowager Xuan has resentment, because after the chef sent by Xianyang Palace learned, the food made could not be compared with Bai Hui's cook.
Of course, Bai Hui's cooks can also be forcibly recruited into the palace, but Empress Dowager Xuan did not do this, this kind of behavior is no different from robbing the courtiers' goods.
Baihui House.
King Qin found that there were at least fifty percent more guards here than before, and the area where Bai Hui worked in the front yard was as heavily guarded as his temporary residence.
"Your Majesty!" The white light guards saluted upward.
"Excuse me, where is Bai Hui."
"Back to the king, Shao Liangzao is in the side room next to the study."
"You don't need to pass the word, you can step down."
"No!" King Qin and Empress Dowager Xuan knew the way, asked the accompanying guards and palace maids to rest, and the two walked to Bai Hui's study.
Bai Hui will not close the door, this is his territory, no one dares to approach here casually.
King Qin saw Bai Hui biting a thin wooden stick, staring at a sand table in front of him with his hands on his chest.
Since the sand table was first used by Bai Hui in Beiqucheng, it has become a sharp weapon for the Qin army to conquer, and of course it is also a sharp weapon for keeping secrets from the Six Kingdoms.
There is a sand table arrangement, and for those soldiers, it can be explained in more detail than pointing to the map.
King Qin and Empress Dowager Xuan entered, and Bai Hui was about to give a salute, but was stopped by King Qin.
King Qin's eyes were already completely attracted by this sand table.
After carefully looking at the full pillar of incense, whether it is King Qin or Empress Dowager Xuan, they can't see that this is that city, such a scale, I am afraid that there is no such city in the world, it is so big.
Finally, King Qin couldn't help but speak: "This city is the city of that country?" ”
"Brother Wang, this is Fengshui, Fengshui is Fengcheng in the west, and Haojing is in the east of Fengshui. Then these rivers are: Wei, Jing, Feng, Shui, Wei, Zhu, Chan, and Ba. There are also eight canals ready to be excavated, namely: Jinghui Canal, Luohui Canal, Weihui Canal, Meihui Canal, Fenghui Canal, Heihui Canal, Swill Hui Canal, and Shuhui Canal. ”
"Eight rivers should be governed, and the word "eight canals" is the meaning of benefiting the people."
"This City !!" King Qin pointed to the huge city model on the sand table and was already shouting.
Bai Hui was very calm: "Brother Wang, the younger brother of this city is named Chang'an City, taking the name of long-term peace and stability, and it is the first city in the world for my Great Qin to dominate the world." The younger brother thought that this city would become the first male city with a population of one million in the future. ”
"Good city, go up to Beidou, go down to Nandou. Shangcheng is the royal city, Beidou is the emperor star, and those who dominate the world should be called the emperor, compared to the arrogant emperor of the king of Qi, this is the hegemony of the emperor. Empress Dowager Xuan opened her mouth and praised.
Although Beidou has a variety of meanings, the Beidou represents the emperor in the Warring States Period and represents the meaning of being admired.
Empress Dowager Xuan continued: "Nandou represents sushi, the main livelihood, for the people's city, good! ”
Bai Hui was stunned for a moment, because this city was the layout of Chang'an in the ancient Han Dynasty in Bai Hui's memory, who would have thought that there would be such a deep exquisiteness, it turned out that it was not casually placed.
Empress Dowager Xuan pointed to Bashui Bahui and said: "If this water conservancy is completed, then Guanzhong will be ......."
Empress Dowager Xuan was still thinking of a suitable word to describe, and Bai Hui said: "The country of abundance!" ”
"Well spoken."
Empress Dowager Xuan was very satisfied with Bai Hui's use of the country of abundance to describe the Guanzhong Plain.
King Qin asked, "What about the money?" ”
"Two billion dollars." Bai Hui's number was not blown, but calculated by him. This is the amount of money he predicts can be earned in five years from Luoyi, Shangyong, and Beiqu.
Two billion dollars, which is almost 10 billion in modern times.
It's not a small number anymore.
Bai Hui said money, not gold. Because gold is not a currency in circulation, it is only used as a reward and for the settlement of super-large items between nobles and merchants.
The six countries used catties for gold, sixteen taels and one catties. The Qin State used eridium, and one eridium was twenty taels.
At present, the ratio of currency Bai Hui has also studied, it is about one to one hundred and thirty value, this is the ratio of pure weight, not the ratio of coins, the weight of Qin money, Qi Dao, and Jin coins are all different.
Taking grain as an example, one stone of yellow rice costs about twenty-three to twenty-five Qin money. Eleven is enough with Qi Knife.
(Note: If it's really wrong, there's no way to change it right now, but I studied it for a few days before writing this book.) Just follow the settings in my book)
When King Qin heard the amount of two billion money, he nodded slightly, it was indeed enough.
The actual tax of Qin State is about 200 yuan, compared to Qin, Qi State's Ding Fu is 360 yuan according to Qin money, which is actually heavier than the tax levied by Qin.
The actual treasury income of the Qin State at present, in addition to the Ding Fu of the free people, which is used to support the nobles, and then the income of salt and iron, is about 500 to 700 million yuan per year.
Bai Hui said again at this time: "Brother Wang, Queen Mother, I heard an interesting news from Wen Yu. He told me that the Emperor of Chu had persuaded the King of Chu not to build a new palace because it would cost three million gold. ”
"Three million gold?" King Qin came interested.
Bai Hui nodded: "The news is reliable, that is, the treasury of the Chu State is still rich, except for Shangyong, let them give some more money and food, and the younger brother thinks it's good." ”
"Feasible."
The real reason why King Qin came to Bai Hui was to discuss the matter of the Chu State coming to seek peace.
King Qin was about to ask something, and someone came in to report: "Shaoliangzao, more than a dozen Chu merchants came to visit, this is what they said was a gift to Shaoliangzao." ”
When a very ornate brocade box was opened, it was a red and white pottery bowl.
King Qin motioned for the guards to bring the bowl in front of him, picked up the bowl and looked at it: "It's a very ordinary pottery bowl, what's so special about this?" ”
"Love! This was the first batch of bowls that failed to attempt to burn porcelain. ”
