It is no wonder that the ministers of the DPRK and China think so. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

According to the edict issued by Hu Hai at the end of May, Meng Tian's post as commander of the Jiuyuan Army has been abolished, and he has been transferred to commander of the 100,000 Tiger Army. But now that Meng Tian has not yet arrived in Xianyang, you will immediately transfer the Tiger Ben Army, leaving an empty blue sky camp and less than 2,000 Tiger Ben soldiers to Meng Tian, isn't this in the Han Jiuyuan Gong?

However, since your old man wants to be the Duke of Jiuyuan, why do you have to let Meng Tian move to the commander of the Tiger Army?

Only the cabinet and the important ministers of the six ministries understood the reason why Hu Hai asked Meng Tian to command the Tiger Ben army but then transferred the Hu Ben army to the north. Isn't there still 10,000 tiger troops in the Lantian camp?

Since Jiuyuan Gong is the commander of the Tiger Army, and this 10,000 Tiger Army is the instructor of the county pawn training, then Meng Tian naturally has to take over the heavy responsibility of the 460,000 county pawn training.

Indeed, Wang Li is dead, Wei Yu is too old, Han is in command of the army, Feng Zheng is far away in South Vietnam, and now this Great Qin seems to have the qualifications and ability and time to take on the important task of organizing and training the county soldiers only if he has unloaded the main general of the Jiuyuan Army.

Of course, none of them knew what the Tiger Army was going north for.

After all, the migration of hundreds of thousands of people to the north has caused a great burden on the logistics supply, although the rations are directly distributed to the people and carried by the people themselves, but your 100,000 army to eat and drink all the way is also a lot of pressure.

In addition to Tian Renwei, the monk of Longwei Mansion, only Hu Hai himself knew what the Tiger Ben army was going north for.

……

In early June, the noisy and bustling city of Xianyang gradually began to return to its former calm as the day of national mourning passed. It's just that this kind of calm is not a pool of stagnant water, but a small grass that seems to have broken through the ground in spring and opened its buds, revealing vitality all over its body.

Perhaps only the old people who have lived in Xianyang City for hundreds of years can keenly feel the quiet changes that are taking place every day in this capital of the Great Qin Empire, which is also a prosperous city on the land of China.

This change is difficult for outsiders to feel. Their only feeling was that Xianyang City was too big. The streets of Xianyang City are too wide, Xianyang Palace and Afang Palace are too majestic, and of course, there are too many people in Xianyang City.

The first census of Daqin, which was completed in the 52nd year of the Great Qin calendar, only the total population of Xianyang City and its affiliated township pavilions was about to exceed one million. It's been another year. The resident population of Xianyang City has already exceeded the million mark.

At this moment, Xianyang City is already a huge city in the world today, and of course, it is not an international metropolis.

However, Xianyang gives the people from other places an intuitive impression of all kinds of wine shops in the streets and alleys of Xianyang City. On the street of Xianyang City, you can walk a few steps to a winery, large or small. But there will definitely be.

Every time a major sacrifice and event is held, Xianyang City is overcrowded, which is the reason for the fact that so many wineries and inns have sprung up in Xianyang City.

After all, no matter who you are, the first thing you need when you arrive in Xianyang City is food and shelter.

And Xianyang is the capital of Great Qin, because Hu Hai set things right in time, Zhao Gaogen had no chance to be in power. The economic foundation of Guanzhong has not only not been damaged in any way, but has also been greatly developed in the past three years. Of course, this also has a lot to do with Hu Hai's continuous reduction and exemption of taxes and labor, as well as the compulsory implementation of Shangfang coinage.

The benefits of gold, silver and copper coins becoming the mainstream and the only currency in normal circulation in Great Qin are obvious. It is much more convenient to pay and buy, and natural consumption is also up.

In addition, Guanzhong was rich, and in order to weaken the resistance of the remnants of the Six Kingdoms at the beginning of the empire, the First Emperor directly moved 100,000 wealthy households from the Six Kingdoms to Xianyang City, so that the rich Xianyang suddenly became a rich land in Shenzhou.

If these are all objective reasons. Then Hu Hai set up several wine cellars specially for the consumption of grain in order to consume the huge amount of grain stored in the various official warehouses, which was about to be spoiled, which was the direct reason for the emergence of the winery.

The reason why the winery is called the winery, where does the winery come from without wine?

When the people live well and have surplus wealth at home, they can have leisure to come out and drink some wine, right? If you can't even eat, then who will come to the winery?

……

"It is said that Mao Dun was born with a wide mouth and a wide nose, green eyes and fangs, and it is rumored that it is the incarnation of a wolf demon in the wolf Juxu Mountain in Pingyi County. Do you know about the officials of this leveling county? The six counties of Pingyi, Inner Mongolia, Liaoning, Heilongjiang, Hexi, and Annan, plus the Goryeo County that admired the prestige of the Son of Heaven and served for thousands of miles, are the land of the seven counties set up by His Majesty the Son of Heaven.

The land of the seven counties. Let my Great Qin Empire span thousands of miles from north to south, and tens of thousands of miles from east to west......"

In a wine shop on Chengnan Street in Xianyang City, a half-hundred-year-old man wearing a burlap robe, a small bun, and a white beard with three strands of gray beard was sitting on the desk in the center of the tavern and shaking his head and talking.

There is something strange about the furnishings of the tavern.

All the tables used by the guests seemed to be arranged in a staggered manner around the old man in the middle, and the old man was located in the center of the tavern lobby, and it seemed to have been deliberately elevated. So that the surrounding drinkers can reach old age.

The old man who shook his head and spoke in the middle said that he was thousands of miles away, stopped abruptly, and then grabbed the large piece of meat on the table and stuffed it into his mouth, and then poured a sip of the wine on the table beautifully, and then chewed slowly and methodically with the wine.

"Bang bang!" Of course, if the people at this time knew the word pretending and forcing in later generations, they patted the table in front of him impatiently and shouted: "Lao Wang, Lao Wang, say that the Hun Maodun, your old man is here again!" ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a sound of harmony.

"That's it, Lao Wang, you're forking the road again!"

"Old king, you said. Come on, the bartender will bring another pot of good wine and a plate of meat to the old king, and settle the account for me! A tall and strong man pointed to the old king's head and said to the bartender in a rough voice, then turned his head to the old king's head and said, "Old king's head, I will serve you good wine and meat, speak quickly, speak quickly." So what's going on with Maudun? ”

"Hurry up, old king!"

The drinkers in the tavern roared in unison.

"Thank you brother for being bold, then my old king will talk about the Hun Maodun today, and all the officials will listen." The old king wiped the oil stains on his hands, got up and bowed to the strong man who had just given him wine and food. (To be continued.)
