Chapter 140: To Each His Family
Su Qin and Zhang Yi said goodbye to their master, Mr. Guigu, and embarked on the journey home with infinite melancholy.
The two got up from Qi and followed each other all the way to Daliang, the new capital of Wei, where they stayed for a day, inspected the surrounding situation of Daliang, and also experienced the local customs.
Su Qin had already seen that although the new capital of Wei, Daliang, was located in the heart of the rich Central Plains, but it was too close to the princes of Chu, Qi, Zhao, and Korea, and was particularly vulnerable to the enemy.
The capital was set in Daliang, and the Wei State was given the conditions to enjoy prosperity, but it lost the geographical advantage of competing for hegemony.
Zhang Yi's hometown is in Anyi, the old capital of Wei, and when he sees the new capital of Wei, he inevitably remembers the Wei State when the capital was settled in Anyi, when it had ambitious plans and dominated the princes, what a majesty!
Today's Wei State has a night left in the sky, waiting for the domination of other superpowers in the seemingly prosperous.
Su Qin and Zhang Yi have been under the same division for many years, they know each other very well, and the relationship is also very harmonious. The relationship even goes beyond brotherhood to some extent.
Su Qin and Zhang Yi were bent on uniting the princes in the east to attack Qin and prevent Qin's continued eastward expansion. Su Qin thought back to what happened to him in the Qin State, and was very wary of Qin Jun Yingsi, knowing that if Yingsi succeeded, his cold-blooded would bring disaster to the eastern countries.
Zhang Yi is because he is a native of Wei, he saw that Wei was repeatedly bullied by Qin, and even Anyi, the capital of hundreds of years, was forced to give up, so he did not accept Qin emotionally at the moment.
In a simple inn in Daliang, the two said goodbye. Zhang Yi wanted to cross the Yellow River north and return to Anyi through the Shangdang area. Su Qin had to follow the Yellow River all the way west, pass through Xingyang, and return to his hometown Luoyang.
Because of the deep love for the same family, breaking up is a tearful look at each other, and it is difficult to give up. Both of them had household chores to attend to at the moment, and they had to leave it at that. Zhang Yi wants to do her filial piety to the elderly mother, and she also wants to comfort her hard-working wife Yao Yue; Su Qin wants to settle his two children and deal with the remaining problems with his ex-wife Fan Han.
Su Qin and Zhang Yi couldn't travel together to the princes at this time, seeking fame and wealth, so they made an appointment to go out of the mountain again a year later. The two cut their fingers and dripped blood into the bowl, swearing blood.
Su Qin understood that Zhang Yi's family was not good, so he handed over most of the remaining money to Zhang Yi, leaving only the scattered coins to buy food. Zhang Yi repeatedly refused, Su Qin put the burden containing the belongings in his hands, carried his bags, and walked away in a chic and neat manner. Zhang Yi looked at Su Qin's back and was moved to tears.
Because he gave all the money to his younger brother Zhang Yi, Su Qin could only walk 400 miles from Daliang to Luoyang, spend one night at a farmhouse halfway, go on the road early the next day, and have rushed back to his hometown Luoyang by noon.
When he entered the city, he looked left and right, and found that nothing had changed much. The people of Luoyang City also called it Luoyi, which was built by Ji Dan, the founder of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and was called the eastern capital Luoyi at that time.
On the one hand, the Duke of Zhou built Luoyi, on the one hand, to make the princes of the world pay tribute to the imperial court roughly equal distance, because the capital city of Haojing at that time was far away in the west, and it was inconvenient for the eastern princes to come and go; On the other hand, it was to garrison troops to deter the eastern princes. As soon as the Western Zhou Dynasty was founded, there was a rebellion between Guan Shu, the younger brother of King Wu of Zhou, and Uncle Cai, the son of King Wu of Shang, and Wu Geng, the son of King Wu of Shang.
It is a pity that by the time of King Zhou You, the princes of the Beacon Fire Opera lost their trust in the eastern princes, and the dog Rong broke through the pickaxe capital, no one came to save him, and the king of Zhou You died in the chaos. In order to avoid the disturbance of the dog Rong, the successor King Ping of Zhou moved the capital to Luoyi in the east, abandoning the foundation of the ancestors of the Zhou Dynasty.
The Qin State pacified the Hu people such as Yiqu who went deep into Haojing, and King Zhou Ping agreed that as long as the Qin State took the land from the Hu people, all of it would be owned by it, which greatly encouraged the morale of the Qin people, and King Zhou Ping gave up the splendid mountains and rivers to the Qin people.
The state of Qin was entrenched in the Guanzhong Plain, which was difficult to defend and difficult to attack, and it seemed that the Western Zhou Dynasty had formed a situation in which the Western Zhou Dynasty overrode the princes of the world.
Although Luoyang is ancient, it was carefully built by the Duke of Zhou back then, and it was the capital of the Son of Heaven, with a very large scale, and the palace, bazaar and residential area were divided in an orderly manner. It is still the heart of the world, a strategic point, and a prosperous and prosperous place.
Thanks to the convenience of transportation, the north-south and east-west goods turnover here, the prosperity of Luoyang's business is second to none, Su Qin's family has been in business for more than ten generations, and children have been learning business in the store since they can remember, without exception.
Su Qin was the only one, after nearly 20 years of business since he was a child, he suddenly got very tired of buying and selling, pushed away all the transactions, and ran out of the world by himself.
He left Luoyang in his twenties, and this is the second time he has returned, and it has been another three years since the last time. Su Qin saw that Luoyang City was crowded, everyone was scrambling to be the first, and he was busy, this situation was both familiar and unfamiliar.
It is familiar that he has been running around like those people in the market for nearly twenty years, and what is strange is that he has been immersed in the days of traveling the world for too long, and he can never go back to his old life.
Su Qin passed by the market area of Luoyang City and found that there were hundreds of people surrounding the gate of the market area, and the gate was so impenetrable that people outside could not enter and people inside could not get out. Su Qin Zhilu said that the gate was opened in the morning and closed at night, and it would not be easily blocked as long as it was not a special circumstance.
People gathered there, so there was no noise. The vast majority of people were tiptoeing to watch the excitement, and some were blocked out because of the business to get in and out, and they were in a hurry to get angry, shouting and shouting for the crowd to dodge.
But the onlookers only watched and watched, where did they still have the heart to pay attention to them.
Su Qin also originally planned to go to his own shop in the market area first, and then walk through the market to the Su family's mansion located nearby. However, even he, a man with empty hands, was stopped from the crowd.
Su Qin was a little annoyed and a little curious, and thought to himself, "What the hell is going on, so many people are gathered here?" He decided to take a look, and by the way he passed through the gate into the bazaar.
Those who watched the excitement stretched their necks and looked, Su Qin flashed around, used the big hole technique, squeezed away the people around him, and rushed in for him. The people he passed by found that Su Qin's body was very fast, his waist was numb, and when he wanted to say something, he saw that Su Qin had passed a long way, so he had to give up.
