PS: The second chapter is in the evening

In ancient times, Xinzheng was the ruins of Gaoxin's Huozheng Zhurong, which was the original origin of the Chu people, and the Zhou Gong sealed the uncle here, and later it was the land of Dongyu and Yi Erbang. Zheng Wugong listened to Shi Bo's suggestion, destroyed the two countries and had their land, and waited until the world of Huan and Zhuang after King Ping moved eastward, and repaired the code to defend it, Zheng Guo took this land as the foundation and laid the foundation of a small tyrant.

After more than 200 years of development, this place can be described as a prosperous cultural relic, outstanding people, the whole city rammed earth is built, the circumference is about 20 miles, its plane shape is like a bull's horn, and the water surrounds it.

This city is different from other princes' capitals, not the inner and outer castle structure, but divided into east and west cities: there is a north-south city wall in the city, which divides Xinzheng into east and west. Zigong entered the city from the east gate, and the first to enter was naturally the east city, where there were civilian residential areas, handicraft workshops, and markets.

Zigong had also come to Xinzheng to do business in the past, and was no stranger to the developed manufacturing industry and dense merchant groups here. He lifted the curtain in front of the car along the way and looked, but saw cast copper, cast iron, bone, jade, pottery, silk reeling, and workshops lined up on both sides of the river.

These handmade products were driven by the merchants to be transported to the market for sale, and even exported to Chu, Zhou, Qi, Jin, and Lu, because of the formation of a manufacturing-sales chain, so Xinzheng is more stable than the simple cargo colony transfer center Taoqiu, and will not be affected too much because of frequent wars and traffic jams.

Just by the daily production of metallurgical and foundry workshops, you can see how great Zheng Guo's war potential is, not to mention that the roads here are the first in the country, and it is extremely convenient to transfer troops.

And the strength of Zheng Bing is also well-known among the princes, and after wandering between Jin and Chu for more than a hundred years, Zheng people are quite tenacious. The tenacity of the two superpowers cannot be underestimated. Now Zheng has escaped the slavery of Jin Chu, has become self-reliant, and is eager to try in this Jin civil war, trying to seize greater benefits!

The country has a population of nearly one million, thousands of military vehicles, and 30,000 soldiers. It is by no means weaker than the power of any secretary of the Jin State.

After looking at it all the way, Zigong also had a plan in his heart, and secretly thought: "From the current point of view, Song, who has just recovered from the chaos and famine, is probably not Zheng's opponent, not only will he not be able to regain the lost territory, but he may also be defeated by the three armies and forced to withdraw from the war." At that time, the southern front of the Zhao clan will be in jeopardy......"

I don't know if Zheng Guoren noticed the intentions of these uninvited guests, and they didn't hide themselves. Instead, it marched forward with great fanfare, so in the crowded markets and streets, this convoy from the Zhao family was frequently noticed.

The knowledgeable scholars looked at the Xuanyao pattern depicted on the car, and were surprised how the Zhao merchants, who were already enemies, dared to come to Xinzheng. The woman looked at Zigong sitting in front of the car, attracted by his graceful demeanor, and regardless of the fact that now that winter has arrived, it is not a good season for courtship together, and if she is bold, she will untie the pendant on her head. Thrown at him!

Zigong skillfully avoided the fragrant Pei Wei, and said to the companion Xian Bofu: "The customs of Xinzheng. It's still so undisguised. ”

Xian Bofu was not ashamed, but responded with a smile: "Out of its east gate, there are women like clouds." Although it is like a cloud, I think about it. Silk clothes and scarves, chat about my members...... This poem is about the style of my Xinzheng, and there are always foreign envoys coming. will be taken aback by the Xinzheng women in full swing, their boldness is as famous as their looks. ”

In this regard, the hypocrites will hide their faces and avoid it, and the womanizers will be overjoyed. It's tempting. The ministers were proud of the number of women's clothes they were given when they left Zheng, and it is said that the most was Zhao Wenzi back then, who carried three cars! Although he himself did not stick to these women's leaves. Wenzi's demeanor and bearing are really unforgettable for Zheng Ren......"

The Zhao orphan grew up to be polite and courteous, and he was indeed very likable in social situations, and Zheng Guo at that time was vacillating between Jin and Chu, betraying the alliance many times, and often tearing up the peace treaty before the blood dried up. After being conquered by the Jin army again, the Jin Qing were furious and wanted to punish Zheng Guo severely, but Zhao Wu said a fair word for Zheng Guo's helplessness.

After the meeting of the soldiers, peace was restored in the Central Plains, and Zhao Wu, who was the secretary of the Jin State, and the prince of Chu ordered Prince Yin to surround it, that is, the arrogant King Chu Ling later met in Zheng Guo, and at the meeting, his tolerance and generosity contrasted sharply with the greed and arrogance of Wang Ziwei, although it seemed to be suppressed on the surface, but Zheng Guo people all liked Zhao Wu.

Of course, all this can't change the fact that Zheng Guo is now an enemy of the Zhao family, only looking at interests and ignoring old friendships, this is Zheng Ren's style.

As he spoke, Xian Bofu glanced at Zigong, the lobbyist who came to Xinzheng on behalf of the Zhao family.

"Xinzheng Jucheng is full of beauties, often full of princes' harems, I don't know which beauty the Zhao family likes?"

Zigong showed a mysterious smile: "Among Yuzhou, there is a beautiful person, as graceful as Qingyang. There is Xin in front of it, the big river behind it, she is on the right and left, embracing the land of Yu and the land of the river, and eating the water and the two waters. She was in the water of the Mae, looking across the river from the Zhao family, making the lord of my family toss and turn, looking forward to swimming with him day and night, but she always followed it, and the road was blocked, but she threw herself into the arms of Qi Hou and Zhibo, which is really a sigh......

Xian Bofu smiled dumbly: "Isn't this beautiful woman Zigong said Zheng Guo?" ”

He secretly said as expected, Zhao Wuxian is the one who wants, Zheng Guo is also! The pedestrians of the time liked to use poetry and words, and Zigong followed Confucius to learn, especially good at this way. Therefore, it was originally a dirty transaction between the two states, but he said that it was extremely elegant, so Xian Bofu was not ashamed of paying tribute to the beautiful woman Yu Zhengguo.

Zigong said: "However, the lord of my family has been interested in Zheng Guo for a long time, and hopes to reconcile with Zheng Guo, just like my fair lady, a gentleman, Bo Fu thinks, do I convey Zhao's goodwill to Zheng Guo?" Zigong asked, staring at him.

There's something in the words...... Xian Bofu groaned, many years ago, the Zhao family was entrusted by the Xian family to accept the expulsion and Deng Xi, and the Xian family owed Zhao Wuxian this favor, and he has not repaid it. Although their Xian clan adheres to the style of Xiangao and takes the protection of the interests of the mother state as the bottom line, some small favors can still help.

Between the words, the wall that stretches between the east and west of Xinzheng has arrived, and after the city gate is the west city, where is the official residence and residence of Zheng Bo's palace and nobles, and the altar of the temple walks around it.

If Xinzheng Dongcheng is the heart that makes Zheng Guo full of vitality, then Xicheng is Zheng Guo's brain.

Xian Bofu made up his mind, he pointed to the high Xinzheng palace and said: "Zheng people rely on businessmen to build a country, and they also have the habits of businessmen in their temperament, so the rulers only value one thing, interests!" ”

"The so-called Yiren that your lord has been looking forward to is waiting for a price in this water. Whether you can pursue it or not depends on whether the 'peony' on the contribution of the child is fragrant or not! (To be continued.) )
