Just when Liu Kan and others were plotting how to gain a foothold in Jiangyang, in Xianyang City, there was a thing that was not big or small. The reason why it is big is because in later generations, this event is called one of the evidences of the tyranny of the First Emperor.

What's more, it is said that this incident made the First Emperor stand on the opposite side of the world's soldiers from then on, and destroyed the Chinese civilization.

And to say that this matter is small, it is indeed not big. Because of this incident, it did not cause much movement under the entire Great Qin's rule.

In the early spring of the 35th year of the reign of King Qin, that is, the ninth year of Qin's unification of the world (213 BC), a shocking case broke out in Xianyang City. The immortal master Lu Zigao and Lu Zigao's student Shen Wuai, who were treated as guests by the First Emperor, were arrested by the CRRC Mansion for attempting to murder the First Emperor and conspiring to subvert the Great Qin Sheji. After investigation, the evidence of Lu and Shen's crimes was conclusive, and they were sentenced to capital punishment -- car splitting.

The so-called car splitting is the split body of the five horses in later generations.

Although Lu and Shen are quite prestigious in Xianyang City, they are only one party after all.

What's more, even if someone wants to stand up and exonerate the two of them, they need to weigh the consequences.

After Lu and Shen were executed, Li Si, the court lieutenant, was ordered to join forces with the CRRC government to capture a group of monks who were swaggering and deceiving in Xianyang City. There were about four or five hundred of these monks, all of whom were killed outside Xianyang City and revealed to the world for warning. The deep Xianyang Palace is slightly gloomy in the twilight.

Ying Zheng stroked the stack of Cheng Gong papers presented in front of him, and a very rare smile appeared on his face. After lifting a tube of brushes and writing three small seals on the paper, he sighed with some satisfaction and gently put the pen down.

"This Cheng Gong paper is really a good thing!"

He raised his head, stared at Meng Yi who was kneeling on the side, and said with a smile: "If it can be promoted, I don't need to hold hundreds of pounds of folds and review them every day." Although my mother is gone, she has indeed brought me a good gift...... It's just that. From now on, there will be no one who cares about me like my mother. I'm worried! ”

Talking. The tone became a little low.

Meng Yi didn't speak. He knows it well. The First Emperor didn't need anyone to comfort him. And at times like these. and no one can comfort him.

"Meng Yi. You said it before. The gift of the virgin. Was it created by Liu Kan, the governor of Surabaya? ”

"Exactly!"

Meng Yi raised his head. Zhengse said: "According to Qing Lao. This gift was originally a gift from Liu Kan to marry Miss Man. But after Qing Lao accepted it. I think this item is more beneficial to His Majesty. So. She took advantage of this time to come to Xianyang. I brought it here and wanted to dedicate it to Your Majesty. ”

"Mother to me. It's just great! ”

Ying Zheng's gaze looked a little confused. After a long time, he came to his senses. smiled again and said: "Mother Zhen has a good eye, this Liu Kan is also very good...... That's right. What happened to Bashu? Is there news of a new land? ”

Meng Yi immediately replied: "In the afternoon, there was news that Miss Man escaped from Jiangzhou more than ten days ago. The second son of the Qin family also tried to stop him, but was defeated by Captain Liu Kandu. Later, when Miss Man landed on the shore, the indigenous people of the Shallow Hill Wide Valley also tried to attack Miss Man. It's just that because the magistrate of Jiangyang County is trying to eat it, he is prepared. Yu Jinglin ambushed the shallow Chuba people, and Miss Yingman and others arrived in Jiangyang.

Also, Qin Jian, the fourth son of the Qin family, did not participate in the Qin family's ancestor worship ceremony, but returned to Chengdu on the same day that Miss Man left Jiangzhou. According to the schedule, it should be these two days to arrive in Chengdu. The minister has sent someone to notify the county guard of Shu County to keep a close watch. ”

"What about Qin Zhi and Qin Meng?"

"Qin Tong has already announced to the outside world that he will take over the position of the head of the Qin family.

At the same time, he also claimed to expel Miss Man from the Qin family. Now under the rule of Ba County, there are a total of 48 indigenous Ba people in seven counties, and more than 20 are said to be willing to obey Qin Tong's orders. There are also more than ten Ba people. We are currently on the sidelines...... Your Majesty, Miss Man's case. It doesn't seem good. Or, let the court come forward to help? Otherwise, Miss Yiman's current power is definitely not Qin Tong's opponent. ”

Ying Zheng pondered for a moment and shook his head.

"It's not yet time for the court to come forward...... The top priority at the moment is to replace the officials under the rule of Bashu as soon as possible. Has the first batch of officials gone to Shu County? Coming forward now, it is likely to make Qin Tong's reaction more intense. Shangqing, you should understand that I just want to take back control of Bashu, and I don't want to cause trouble in Bashu. What's more, they are the descendants of the Virgin Mother. ”

Meng Yi understood Yingzheng's thoughts.

Indeed, with their understanding of Qin Tong, after enduring for many years, they finally ascended to the position of the head of the family, and naturally they wanted to show their strength.

But the problem is that Qin Tong is not Qin Qing, and the imperial court does not want him to show his strength.

Once the imperial court stands up, it is likely to make Qin Tong dissatisfied, and there may even be a more outrageous move. Of course, with Lao Qin's national strength, it is impossible to put it in the eyes of the Bashu Qin family. But Ying Zheng didn't want to destroy the Qin family and cut off the descendants of Qin Qing.

Now Qin Man has come forward to restrain Qin Tong's attention......

Ying Zheng can act according to the plan, first replace the officials of Bashu, then weaken the Qin family's control over the land of Bashu, and finally take back control of Bashu. In this way, Ying Zheng not only did not have to eradicate the Qin family, but also was able to retrieve Bashu without blood. After Bashu returns to the control of the imperial court, he can give the Qin family a lifetime, and even a hundred generations, which is enough!

This series of actions has been carried out since Qin Qing's death.

First the officials of Shu County were replaced, and then Ba County...... By the time Qin Tong appeared, the entire Bashu was already under the control of the First Emperor.

If he was smart, he would obediently bow his head.

Yingzheng will also give Qin Tong enough opportunities; But if Qin Tong doesn't know what to do, Yingzheng won't mind destroying him!

"But what if Miss Man can't support it?"

Meng Yi couldn't help but ask with some concern. After all, judging from the current situation, Qin Man's side is obviously in a weak position, and it seems to be a little dangerous.

Ying Zheng smiled calmly, "Shangqing, you are too underestimated to be old."

With the foresight of Qing Lao, how could he not see Qin Tong's ambition? How could he not guess what might happen to the Qin family after her death. I believe that the old man will definitely leave a back hand for the man...... Don't forget, the Bashu Wumeng has not come forward so far. ”

Bashu Witch League. An organization similar to the Alchemist Alliance.

Unlike ordinary local priests, the members of the Bashu Wu Alliance reside in the land of Bashu. Wizards along the river.

Most of these people don't pay much attention to the world, and they don't have a prominent status. But these shamans, among the indigenous Ba people, have a very high prestige. At the beginning, Qin Qing was able to control Bashu, on the one hand, because of the royal blood of the Ba people, and on the other hand, because she controlled the Bashu Witch League. Now. Qin Qing is dead...... Who is the leader of the Witch Alliance who succeeds her? This is also the issue that Ying Zheng is concerned about.

Maybe it won't be long before it appears!

Seeing that Meng Yi was still a little uneasy, Ying Zheng stood up and walked to his side, "Shangqing, don't worry too much. I also like Girl Man, and I will never see her suffer. Besides, have you forgotten that by the side of the man, there is also my Surabaya captain?

A guy who can be valued by your brother and can make Qing Lao make up his mind to recruit a son-in-law. Nor will it be a good peer.

Let's look at it, the old man will definitely have a way to reverse this situation for the man...... Wait for Bashu to do something. I want to meet this old man. ”

"Ah...... Obey the order! ”

At this point, Meng Yi couldn't say anything more.

So he took the order and left, but in his heart, he couldn't help but feel a little worried for Liu Kan: Liu Kan, what means do you have to solve the current problem?

The sun is shining!

In the county seat of Jiangyang. Everything seemed very calm.

This county, which has only been in the past three years from its establishment to its construction, has become the only town comparable to Jiangzhou among the seven counties under the rule of Ba County with the emergence of Duling Laojiao. Although the road has become far away, the traffic is not very convenient. However, relying on the convenience of the river, the sales of this Duling old cellar have not decreased, but have become more prosperous than at the beginning.

Everyone knows it. Surabaya flower carvings in the past. It is today's Duling Laojiao.

And after entering Bashu, the varieties became more and more abundant. It has made countless businessmen rush to it.

It doesn't matter if the road is farther, there is a commercial house in Jiangyang County, which is responsible for transporting goods. There are more than 30 large merchant ships and nearly 100 medium-sized merchant ships under its name. The name of the firm is Duling Commercial Bank, which has branches in important cities along the river.

The firm has only been established for a short period of time, only two years.

But the speed of the exhibition is jaw-dropping. After leaving Ba County, go all the way east to Yi County in Changsha County. Then take Yi County as the transit, south to Changsha, north to Hanshui to Nanyang County; To the east, all the way to Liyang County, Jiujiang County, there are branches of commercial houses.

Need a drink?

Very simple!

Bring money and silk, go to Jiangyang to buy items, and then send someone to pick up the goods at the designated location. As for other things, don't bother

Merchants are also convenient, and the trading houses can also make profits.

Comptoirs are also responsible for other aspects of transportation...... This also made the merchants in Bashu feel unprecedentedly relaxed.

Duling Commercial Bank!

From the name, you can tell who the owner of this trading house is sacred. That's right, the name of the firm is derived from the name of Liu Kanna Duling Dionysus. When he first came to Jiangyang, he was keenly aware of this financial route. Although there was a fleet of ships in the past, most of them were mainly used to transport goods in their own business, and did not take into account other things.

So, judging the food, he pondered. After discussing with Qin Man, it was decided to set up a trading house purely focused on transportation.

Led by Qin Man, and then added Liu Kan, Zhen Shiqi, Chen Yu, Guan Que and Lu Wen five joint ventures, together to undertake the water shipping business connecting Bashu and the Central Plains. Don't underestimate this business! Bashu has the reputation of the country of abundance, although in this era compared to the Central Plains is only a wild land, but its products are very rich, not at all worthy of the title of the country of abundance......

There are countless specialties such as bamboo, ash, shellfish, musk, cordyceps, etc.

However, the Shu Road is rugged, and the additional cost of transporting all the mountain goods is too amazing.

Bashu is mountainous, and if it is mountainous, there will be many bandits.

If you want to go by water, it doesn't seem to be very safe. Ordinary small boats are not enough to withstand the risks on the river. The ships are too big, and it seems to be a bit wasteful. So. Unless it is a local wealthy family who has the ability to transport goods, the rest of the small traders can only watch a lot of goods piled up in place. At the same time, there are also a large number of goods in the Central Plains, which stop outside Bashan Shushui because of the route.

I have to say. It has a business acumen that ordinary people can't match.

Opening such a firm is undoubtedly a difficult thing in the eyes of ordinary people, but for him, it is very simple.

Within Bashu, there are shutters responsible for taking care of them and exporting them to the outside.

In addition to Bashu, Chen Yu came forward to organize the transfer of goods to Bashu......

In this way, it can not only communicate with Bashu and the Central Plains, but also earn profits from Dabi. And most importantly, it has gathered a large number of indigenous Ba people who beg for a living on the water. Blatantly organized a water escort force with more than 3,000 people. Although the cost is huge, the profits are staggering. A large merchant ship takes about three months to travel between Jiangyang and Yixian at a time. After deducting various expenses, the income is as high as 30 eridium gold.

Since the establishment of the trading bank, thirty large merchant ships and nearly 100 medium-sized merchant ships have hardly been idle.

Nearly charged freight, the income of Duling Commercial Bank has 10,000 Yi gold!

So much so that when Liu Kan arrived in Jiangyang, he was also taken aback by this firm...... Because when the business house was established. Liu Kan was in northern Xinjiang and didn't know anything about it. Coupled with the income of Duling Liquor Farm, Liu Kan calculated that in the past three years, his assets have increased by more than 30,000 gold! Listening to the report of the judge, Liu Kan kept gasping: This Bashu is really a blessed land.

"There are three 98 Zhai indigenous Ba people around Jiangyang, because of our Duling Wine Field, we let more than 20 Zhaiba people go out of the deep mountains and old forests. Duling Commercial Bank. Nearly 10,000 people of all sizes on both sides of the Tsing Yi River and Moshui River west of Jiangyang have been gathered...... If you count it. The indigenous Ba people of these three 98 villages, because we have benefited a lot. Although quite a few did not indicate their position. But I know that if anyone really endangers the interests of our Jiangyang, the indigenous Ba people of these three ninety-eight villages will never give up. ”

When he said this, he seemed very proud.

Zhang Cang, who had been silent, also nodded lightly and said, "If it weren't for this, it would be impossible for us to immediately notice and react quickly to the attack on the commander led by Qianchu Bahu...... Du Wei, speaking of which, it is really thanks to Cao County Lieutenant. ”

When he said this, Cao Wuxian blushed rarely!

Qin Man sat in the center, and after glancing at Liu Kan, he couldn't help but ask, "Why did Big Brother Harmless mobilize people so quickly?" ”

"Hejiangju is the outlet of the river, and it is also the only ferry port where you can go ashore except for the water dragon bend.

The leader of the Huangjing Limba informed me that Nabahu had mobilized more than 2,000 mountain people to assemble in the Huangjing Forest. At that time, Mr. Kuai immediately reacted that they were going to ambush you. The shallow Chuba people are brutal, not to mention the fact that they are not good at work, and they also like to plunder others. Around Jiangyang, the reputation is very poor...... If it weren't for their attachment to Qin Tong, the other two Ba people would have already taken action to solve them. So I lobbied the other two Ba people with Mr. Kuai at that time, and joined forces with the Huangjing Lingba people to ambush the shallow Chuba people...... It's a pity that Nabahu ran away!

Otherwise, the stolen goods will be captured, and Lao Tzu will immediately gather the men and horses of the other fifty-six villages to kill them. ”

"Are the big brothers familiar with the villagers?"

Qin Man couldn't help but ask Cao Wuxian. At this point, Qin Man is indeed inferior to Qin Tong. She didn't have much contact with the indigenous Ba people, although Qin Qing also consciously asked her to learn more. But except for a few Ba tribes, she rarely took the initiative to get acquainted.

Judging Shiqi said with a smile: "Of the leaders of the three ninety-eight villages in Jiangyang, at least seventy percent of them are brothers and sisters with Lao Cao. Even including the people of the shallow hill tribe, there are more than a dozen village leaders who have a close relationship with him. It's just that because of Bahu, it's not easy to communicate openly. ”

When Liu Kan heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Cao Wuxian.

I didn't expect this Cao Wushu to have such a talent......

When I was in Peixian before, I always felt that he was not good at interacting with people. But now it seems that after arriving in Jiangyang, it seems that a lot has changed.

Cao Wushu said: "It's not impossible! The Ba people are rude, Mr. Zhang is a person with status, and A Qi, as the county magistrate, is impossible to come forward easily. So I had to come out and get in touch with them, but it was really easy and easy to deal with them.

To like is to like, and to dislike is to dislike......

There are no so many twists and turns.

In the past two years, I have indeed made a lot of good friends. Now that I think about it, I used to be in Pei County, and I did a little too much. ”

This is also a kind of growth!

After Liu Kan glanced at Cao Wuxian appreciatively, he coughed lightly and said, "No injury, three days later, I am going to set up wine in Jiangyang Mansion." The leaders of the three ninety-eight villages, as many as they can invite...... I need you to come forward in this matter. ”

"It's incumbent!"

Cao Wuxian stood up without hesitation and nodded in agreement.

"Lin, Li Xing!"

"Whoa!"

Liu Kan said in a deep voice: "The two of you will prepare the headquarters and travel with me early tomorrow morning...... Three days later, Miss Man came forward. His brother and Zhang Lao are in charge of the affairs in this mansion, and Lao Tang and Lao Kuai, the affairs in Jiangyang City are in charge of the two of you.

In terms of manpower, I don't think you will have any problems.

I estimate that Qin Tong's side is also having a headache now. Without the seal of the elder, even if he becomes the head of the family, I am afraid that he will not be able to convince the public.

Therefore, for a period of time, he may not have time to take care of Jiangyang's side. What we have to do is to stabilize the situation in Jiangyang before Qin Zhi frees up his hand to deal with us. Jiangyang's three departments and ninety-eight villages must be used by us in order to be invincible. After that, you can slowly figure it out...... I believe that it won't take too long for the imperial court to do something to Bashu! ”
