Chapter 229: The Merchant's Heart

The puppet was furious, and blood splattered five steps.

The emperor was angry and bled thousands of miles.

The state apparatus of Daqin rumbled.

The mobilization and conscription order of the unification was quickly spread throughout the counties under the rule of the Qin State, and when they heard and saw the inscription of the Han Dynasty, the Qin army was full of emotion.

If you want to ask which prince the Qin people hated the most, the answer a year ago was completely different from the answer a year later, Xiang Yu, who defeated the main force of the Qin army in Zhangshui Thorn Plain, was once far ahead, but now, his ranking has dropped to second.

Liu Bang's hooligan-style constant provocations finally made Li Yuan angry, and the bullshit Han Gaozu was at best just a pavilion chief with thick skin over the city wall.

Lao Tzu has taken your city, killed your people, robbed you of your money and food, what can you do? If you can't beat it, you send assassins to assassinate you, what is this not a hooligan?

Li Yuan is not Xiang Yu, what kind of gentleman's style to talk about, what not to kill women and children, but also to take into account the reputation among the princes, in the hearts of the princes of Kwantung, Li Yuan's reputation is estimated to be equivalent to killing demons, there is no need to wash white, and for the Qin State, the princes die one less one, die one less pair, it is best to break up one by one.

In front of all kinds of torture instruments in the Tingwei Mansion, Li Cang confessed everything. Subsequently, after spitting out the truth, Li Cang was unceremoniously beheaded by Li Yuan, who had been the prime minister of Changsha in the Western Han Dynasty in history, and married the little beauty Xin Chai, and died like this.

Who is Lecang?

Li Yuan didn't think much about it, as for the future rival or something, it was impossible to talk about it, the time and space are different, and the fate of the characters is also completely different.

Xin Chai was only sixteen years old.

It is the same age as the flower season, and a girl at this age is the time when she needs to be cared for and cared for, Li Yuan, who is already the most powerful person in the Qin State, deserves this heavy responsibility.

Li Cang's head was hung directly on the city tower in Xianyang. Bear the wind and sun, bear the admiration of thousands of people, bear the fingers, and become a symbol of shock. And when the merchants who came and went looked up and saw a dried human head, the fear of the Qin State in their hearts would become greater and greater, and the orders of the princes would become more and more disobedient.

After Li Yuan came to power, Qin's attitude towards commerce and trade also underwent structural changes.

East meets West.

Barter.

It was a characteristic of this era, especially at the dangerous juncture when the Hexi trade route was about to be cut off by the Huns, and the profits of this trade under great risks were even greater.

The Linjiang area is located in the hinterland of the Chu State, and the water is dense. It is very suitable for silkworm cultivation, and silk is the most favorite oriental fabric of Hu merchants from the Western Regions, this kind of trade mode of Eastern and Western merchants in the Guanzhong area to achieve delivery with the Qin State more and more open national policy and prosperity, coupled with the situation in Guanzhong is becoming more and more stable, merchants have gradually begun to buy houses in Qindi with confidence, add assets, for long-term residence plans.

Businessmen seek profit.

In their eyes, the concept of the state is actually very weak, unlike some descendants of the six royal families who think they are high and have noble royal blood. I have to go all the way to the end with the idea of recovering the country.

The secret war between the princes, the people are not actually interested.

Comparatively speaking, they prefer the stories of their parents who are short, that happen to them, and that happen to people with similar backgrounds and identities to them, just like the trend of writing online articles. The hegemony category is becoming less and less popular, and what I read now is the shortcomings of the parents and the things that happen around them.

At this point, it doesn't matter if it's 2,000 years ago. It doesn't make a difference whether it's 2,000 years from now. Therefore, in the minds of most businessmen, how to earn the maximum difference between things is the key. As for Li Cang's true identity, they more intuitively believed the facts stated in the announcement at the gate of Xianyang City.

That is this man named Li Cang, a silk dealer from the area of Guandongnan County, and there are not many Kanto people like him who have come to the Guanzhong area to pan for gold in the past year. Because of his intimacy with some officials of the Han State, Li Cang listened to the sweet words of the Han people, and secretly helped the Han State to spy on the military secrets of the Qin State, and the result was very sad.

This briefing from the Qin State Governor's Mansion made the Han State, which had always had a good reputation among the people of Kwantung, suddenly become a treacherous scolder, and no matter how humble Liu Bang was, he could not match the confession of Li Cang at the gate of Xianyang City.

Confession, drawing and detention.

What's even more amazing is that before the Tingwei Mansion supervised Li Cang, it also let Li Cang come to a performance in the public market of the West Market to accuse the ministers of the Han State, especially the Han Prime Minister Zhang Liang.

The testimony was conclusive.

The businessmen don't think about what kind of shady scene there will be behind Li Cang's death, they care about whether they will be regarded as Li Cang's second.

Death is terrible.

It is even more terrible to be unjustly killed without a reason.

It doesn't matter whether Li Cang was unjustly killed or not, the important thing is that Liu Bang did not contribute to this matter, he sat and watched Li Cang die. Businessmen can endure ignoring the profession of businessmen, and can endure blackmail again and again at the checkpoint, but they can't bear to let others do things without paying, and Zuihou sits back and watches others go bankrupt.

In this atmosphere, the perception of the Han king Liu Bang by the Kwantung merchants greatly declined, the merchants were profit-seeking, and the merchants also had their own principles.

When a happy life is about to come, it is like a flawless mirror that has been slammed to the ground, and under this strong gap, even the Kanto people who have feelings for their hometown will carefully weigh whether they still want to support the original country.

――。

The people's hearts are quietly changing.

The Kwantung people, who had been gathered together because of the rebellion against the tyrannical Qin, gradually went in different directions in the face of repeated interest decisions.

Shangjia lowly nationality, this group of people who have no name on the Fu nationality and are despised by the big families, gradually moved closer to the Qin State.

Without the support of the merchants, if the Kwantung princes wanted to expand their strength, they would have to rely more on taxes and on the output of one acre and three points of land, which would undoubtedly increase the burden on the people and make them lose more of the people's support.

Xianyang.

The whole country of Qin was more united because of Li Yuan's return, and Chen Ping, the long history, took on the heavy responsibility of the operation of the entire country during the period when Li Yuan left, which made his originally thin appearance even thinner, but fortunately, Chen Ping's mental strength was still good.

Guan Yue, Zhang Cheng, Zhao Ben, Li Zheng, Hou Xi, these officials who gradually became important helpers in Qin's internal affairs in the past days, under Chen Ping's dispatch, cooperate with each other more organized, of course, the friction between people in communication is inevitable, but under the overall institutional system of Qin, even if this contradiction exists, it cannot have too much negative effect on the operation of the state apparatus.

The efficient operation allowed a number of important decisions to be implemented and introduced within the Qin state, among which the official operation of Chang'an City, a symbol of national status, was the top priority in February of the fourth year of the new calendar.

February.

The spring chill has not yet subsided.

Under the unified dispatch of the Changshi Mansion, the Qin Imperial Family, the Shenwu Marquis Mansion, the Changshi Mansion and the official offices at all levels in Xianyang began to move to Chang'an City one after another.

When the people who still live in Xianyang City can't help but look up, they find that the fast horse scouts who used to come and go in the market can no longer be found.

Relocation of the political center.

In a short period of time, it may not change anything, but in the near future, more and more people will decide to move to Chang'an City, and Xianyang will inevitably become an ordinary city for people to admire, just like Yongzhou, Linxia and other old capitals.

Located in the northwest of the city, the Shenwu Marquis Mansion is closely adjacent to the palace of the Qin State, and there is a palace gate in the middle to facilitate access, when the eldest princess's car drove smoothly from the palace to the Shenhou Mansion, and did not attract any attention, Ying Yushu expressed great satisfaction with Xin Chai's design for the first time.

Of course, what makes Ying Yushu happy is not only the novelty of Chang'an City, but also Li Yuan's attitude, Li Yuan, who has always been wary of the next generation, suddenly opened his attitude this time, and when Ying Yushu cautiously proposed to have a child after a happy time, Li Yuan did not object.

Yan Niuniu's cute appearance made Li Yuan's father Aiqingxu who was deposited in his heart burst out instantly, people can't refuse to do something because they are afraid of a result.

Compared with Ying Yushu who had to stay in the palace, Gu Yunniang's luck was more haode, she was directly accepted by Li Yuan into the Shenwu Marquis Mansion, this woman who was obsessed with Li Yuan alone, after four years of obsession, finally waited for the day when her aiqing blossomed.

Loving someone is a kind of happiness.

Being loved by someone is also a kind of happiness.

Gu Yunniang used her sincerity and infatuation to move Li Yuan at the same time, but also moved everyone around her, including Ying Yushu and Xin Chai, two sisters who were in different circumstances, but came together because of a common man.

You only live once.

Why do you have more regrets, Li Yuan, who let go of the shackles, is like a wild horse that has escaped, no longer cares about the opinions of the world, and no longer thinks about the consequences, as long as the people who love themselves like it, as long as they conform to their own hearts, but accept it frankly.

Xin Chai still lives in his own house, however, the distance between Xin Mansion and Shenhou Mansion is only one street, and it is convenient to come and go, and the young lady walks in the city designed and supervised by herself again and again, and every day the face of youth is filled with a happy smile.

The future, for her, is just the beginning. (To be continued......)

PS: At the end of the day, I'm tired to death. Take the time to update in the evening, thank you for waiting.
