Qin Yiren took the wine jar and said loudly: "Brothers, ......"

The Qin soldiers, who were drinking water and feeding the horses, hurriedly raised their heads and looked at Qin Yiren, everyone's eyes were shining, they knew that Qin Yiren must have something to say.

For Qin Yiren, the soldiers are loved from the bottom of their hearts, because Qin Yiren has never let them down, and has led them to win one battle after another.

For an army, the most morale-boosting thing is not strict military discipline, nor sophisticated equipment, let alone empty slogans, but victory! Winning one battle after another will inevitably make the army's morale high and its fighting spirit blazing.

Qin Yiren is such a commander, and it is impossible for the soldiers not to love him.

“…… Since we left Jiuyuan County to go west, we have fought a lot of beautiful victories, I don't know how many foreign races we have killed, and I don't know how many people have captured, and my son is very pleased! Proud of you! Qin Yiren's eyes flashed, his voice turned high, and he said: "However, we have endured a lot of hardships all the way to the west, we have no time to rest, no time to camp, we rarely have time to rest except for marching or fighting." Here, there is half a jar of Daqin's phoenix wine, and my son invites you to drink it together! ”

"Drinking? Half a jar of wine, is it enough? ”

"It's not enough to quench my thirst."

"Childe is really funny."

The soldiers of the Qin army heard it in their ears and shook their heads secretly, disapproving.

It's just half a jar of wine, who is enough to drink? Soldiers are good at wine, this is a common problem in the army, and this little wine is not enough for people to stuff their teeth.

Just as the soldiers were secretly discussing, they saw Qin Yiren pour the wine jar against Jinquan.

"Whoa!" The cold liquor syrup smashed into the river with a crisp sound. There was a lot of splashing.

"Brethren, drink!" Qin Yiren threw the wine jar away. Squatted down.

"Gongzi Xie!" A mere half-jar of wine is nothing. However, Qin Yiren did not enjoy it exclusively, but drank with the soldiers, this love, this righteousness, no matter how much praise is not overstated, the soldiers were very moved, and thanked Qin Yiren in unison.

The soldiers squatted on the shore. Holding the river water in his hand and gulping it down, he praised a few words from time to time, or laughed a few words, and for a while, the laughter continued.

It wasn't until after they had drunk enough that the soldiers stood up and looked at Qin Yiren, with admiration in their eyes.

"Childe, Jinquan has to change its name, and it can't be called Jinquan anymore." Zhu Hai stroked his forehead. Chong Qin is inhumane.

"Name change? What is the name? Qin Yiren was greatly surprised.

Qin Yiren poured the wine into the golden spring and drank it with the soldiers. This is to boost the morale of the military. Although they marched all the way west, fought many victories, and captured a lot of money, the soldiers worked very hard, and it was extremely necessary to take this opportunity to boost the morale of the army.

"Let's call it Jiuquan." Zhu Hai thought for a while.

"Jiuquan?" Qin Yiren almost fell headlong into the river.

Jiuquan, as long as it is a place known to Chinese.

"That's right. The son drank with his brothers, and it was called Jiuquan. Zhu Hai affirmed.

"That's a good name!" The nearby Qin soldiers heard it and echoed loudly.

"Jiuquan is Jiuquan." Qin Yiren suddenly thought of the origin of the name Jiuquan, and was surprised.

How did Jiuquan come about? This has a historical story, which is related to Huo Qu's disease.

Jiuquan, formerly known as Jinquan, is a famous river in the Hexi Corridor. Huo Qubing was ordered by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to lead the army to the west, attacking the Hexi Corridor, and when he reached Jinquan, he poured the little wine left into Jinquan and drank it with the soldiers, and since then, Jinquan has been renamed Jiuquan.

"Coincidence, coincidence." Qin Yiren just wanted to motivate the army, and didn't think about leaving any allusions, so he actually changed the name of Jinquan, which is exactly the same as Huo Quai's allusions.

"Let's go!" After resting for a while, Qin Yiren gave an order, and the Qin army embarked on the journey again.

"Ding-woo! Ding! "The camel bell is crisp and beautiful, coming from afar, and converging into a beautiful song.

A caravan of merchants on camels was heading east.

During the Warring States Period, commerce had already formed a scale, and famous merchants such as Tian Dan, Lady Qing, and Lü Buwei appeared. At that time, Mrs. Qin Guoqing, Chu Guoyidun's clan, Wei Guobai's clan, Zhao Guozhuo's clan, and Qi Guotian's clan were the five major merchants in the world, and the wealth accumulated was extremely abundant, and it could be said that they were as rich as the country.

There are a number of businesses in the world, they are rich and powerful, and they can call the wind and the rain, and they want the wind to get the wind and the rain.

In addition to these big merchants, there is another type of merchant, and that is the merchants. The so-called merchant is to take goods all over the world and sell them everywhere.

This kind of merchant has a low income, and his life is very hard, so it can be said that he eats and sleeps in the open, and he is not much different from an ascetic. However, in the world of great controversy in the Warring States Period, it was already a very happy thing to have a bowl of rice to eat and to make money.

The most famous of the merchants is Su Qin's father. Su Qin was originally from Luoyang, and his father started as a businessman, and the business became bigger and bigger, and he became a wealthy family in Luoyang. It is precisely because of the Su family's accumulation of a lot of family business that after Su Qin Xuecheng went down the mountain, he decided to enter Qin to seek office, and his father prepared high carts and horses for him, and groups of servants flocked to Qin.

Of course, Su Qin's entry into Qin this time was not appreciated by King Qin Huiwen, and he returned with a feather, and finally had to beg to go home. When he returned to his hometown in Luoyang, he was no different from a beggar, the hordes of servants were gone, the carts and horses were gone, the gorgeous robes were gone, and some were just destitute.

This group of merchants was not too many, a total of more than 30 people, but they drove hundreds of camels and carried a lot of goods.

The leader of the merchant was called Shao Yun, a middle-aged man in his thirties, tall and bright-eyed, and he knew at a glance that he was a shrewd man.

"Brother Shao, this time when we go back to the Central Plains, we will bring a lot of goods, and we will make a lot of money." A middle-aged man rode a camel and walked side by side with Shao Yun, saying, "When we sell the goods and it's time for the New Year, we can have a good New Year." ”

"Hey." Shao Yun sighed lightly and said: "There are a lot of good things in the Western Regions, such as Kunshan jade, sweat and blood BMW, pomegranates, and grapes, all of which are not good things in the Central Plains, but I don't dare to buy too much." ”

"yes." The middle-aged man nodded heavily, with a look of regret. said: "The Central Plains go to the Western Regions." Guanshan is thousands of miles. The road is not easy. In addition, there are many alien races in the land west of the river, and these damn alien races are insatiable, and if we buy too many good goods, they will kill people and take treasures. ”

The Silk Road is famous through the ages, not only because the Silk Road connected China with ancient Rome, but because the Silk Road was a golden trade route, and this trade route was full of business opportunities, as long as it was safe. You can make a lot of money.

The problem is that there are alien races such as Xiu Tu, Hun Evil, Loulan, Lou Fu, and Lin Hu in the Hexi Corridor. These aliens are very greedy, and if they find that the goods brought by the merchants are too valuable, they will not hesitate to kill and take the treasure. In this way, the development of the Silk Road was greatly restricted.

"If it's ......" Shao Yun didn't finish his sentence, he just shook his head with a look of regret.

"Brother Shao, are you saying that if the Central Plains can send troops to defeat the alien races in the land west of the river, we will have a good life, right?" The middle-aged man also shook his head. It was a pity and said, "All the merchants who walk on this trade road." It's all like that. It's a pity that the Central Plains is torn apart, and the corpses are piled up like mountains, and the blood flows like a river, so how can there be spare strength to fight the land west of the river. ”

The value of the "Silk Road" is immeasurable, and if the Central Plains can solve the alien race here, the extraordinary value of its gold trade route will be reflected.

As we all know, Zhang Qian opened the Silk Road through the Western Regions, why is this?

It's not that no one went to the Western Regions to do business before Zhang Qian, on the contrary, there are not a few people who go to the Western Regions to do business. It's just that there are alien races entrenched in the land west of the river, which greatly hinders the development of commerce. It was not until Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Huo to open up the Hexi Corridor that the public security situation here improved greatly, and the "Silk Road" flourished.

In modern terms, Zhang Qian's mission to the Western Regions was "the first time that Chinese officials had a comprehensive understanding of the situation in the Western Regions", not that Zhang Qian began to know about the existence of the Western Regions. Before that, there were merchants who had already entered the Western Regions to conduct trade.

"It's finally time for the small square." Shao Yun raised his eyebrows, was very excited, and said: "Brothers, work hard, we have arrived in Hexi, and we will return to the Central Plains soon." ”

"It's Hexi!" A cheer rang out, and the merchants were overjoyed.

When the group entered the land of Xiaofangpan, they officially set foot in Hexi and left the Western Regions. However, as soon as they set foot on the small square plate, they were stunned.

"That's ...... Barrack? ”

"Is it the Qin army's barracks?"

"Wouldn't it? Am I dazzled? Why are you pinching me? ”

"Didn't you say you were dazzled? I'm pinching you to give you a heads-up. ”

The crowd of people stared at the barracks in front of them with round eyes, as if they had seen a ghost, with a look of disbelief.

"It's really the Qin army's barracks. Look, it's a black flag, and the word 'Qin' on it is so powerful. "Someone raised his throat and screamed loudly, more joyful than the discovery of a new world.

"It's really Qin Jun!"

"How did Qin Jun get here?"

"You don't care how he came here, as long as Qin Jun comes here, we will be blessed!"

"yes. When the Qin army arrived here, it means that the alien races in the land west of the river have been wiped out by the Qin army. In the future, if we take this road again, we will not have to worry about being taken captive by foreign races. ”

For these merchants who were fed up with the oppression of foreign races, it was a great blessing for the Qin army to come here, and it was the best news they had ever received in their lives.

With the backing of the powerful Qin army, they don't have to worry about doing business in the future, they can transport more goods, and they can earn more, if they don't rejoice, they won't be happy.

"Gotta get it!" Suddenly, a hurried hoof sounded, and a group of Qin troops galloped over.

"I've seen Qin Jun." Shao Yun and the others hurriedly saluted the Qin army.

"You're a merchant returning from the Western Regions, aren't you?" The leader of the Qin army, led by him, asked.

"yes, we just returned from the Western Regions." Shao Yun hurriedly smiled and nodded heavily.

"Are you familiar with the Western Regions?" The leader of the Qin army asked again.

"Cooked? We have been in and out of the Western Regions many times, and we are very familiar with the Western Regions. Although Shao Yun didn't understand why the leader of the Qin army asked like this, he was still busy answering.

"Alright, come with us." The little leader of the Qin army was still smiling, and comforted them: "Don't worry, we don't want to be unfavorable to you, but our son wants to learn about the situation in the Western Regions from you." (To be continued.) )
