Chapter 83 Wei Ying went to Qin
Daqian Dynasty, Qinchuan County, Tiger Prison Pass
"This tiger prison business...... If he really didn't take it seriously, he didn't even receive orders from the border troops who were stationed on the border......
When Wei Ying pretended to be a business traveler, followed the caravan out of the customs smoothly, and saw the majestic Tiger Prison Pass from afar, he couldn't help but be faintly excited, and said with emotion in his heart.
Finally...... Finally escaped from this great frontier!
That's right, it's to escape, not to leave.
Wei Ying, who was killed because of the deathbed recommendation of Prime Minister Han Laoguo, had an extremely embarrassing life.
In order to avoid recourse, he didn't even dare to enter the official road in a grand manner, so he could only take the path and move forward in secret.
When encountering a slightly larger city, he did not dare to enter it at all, but occasionally when passing through towns and villages, he could prepare dry food and drinking water, and then hurried on the road.
From Siting Pass to Tiger Prison Pass, there are thousands of miles along the way, and Wei Ying does not dare to slack off at all, it can be said that he has traveled day and night, and he has not dared to stop.
Only when the horses are tired, will they rest for a while, and find a farmhouse or a broken temple to deal with for a few hours.
When you have enough spirits, you will start to gallop in the starry night again, and go straight to the tiger prison!
After traveling hundreds of miles in such a day, about ten days, he successfully arrived at Luoliang City, the northern frontier of Dali.
Although Luoliang City is in the border fortress, in the face of the Tiger Prison Pass, the world's first male pass, even Da Li is unwilling to take his life to fill it.
However, Da Li did not take the initiative to invade Daqian, and Daqian only guarded the country and never took the initiative to attack.
Therefore, Luoliang City has not had a large-scale war for decades, which has also made Luoliang City lose its vigilance and tension as a border pass.
On weekdays, the residents and defenders living in Luoliang City almost do not have the mentality and awareness of living at the dangerous border.
Walking into Luoliang City, it is like strolling in the bustling city in the rear, leisurely and leisurely, extremely comfortable.
As for the opening of the Tiger Prison Trade Road, even in this Luoliang City, it has just spread, and most of the people who know about it are businessmen from all over the world, but there are still many people who do not believe it or disdain it.
Therefore, this news has not yet had time to reach the atrium city of the national capital.
Those cabinet ministers sitting high in the national capital did not know that they could still go straight from the Tiger Prison Pass to the Great Cadres.
This also makes it possible for the whole country to pursue Wei Ying's tense atmosphere, Luoliang City, which is located at the border, has never received any documents at all, let alone know about it!
So under such an excellent opportunity, Wei Ying was successfully able to clear the customs and escape from the border of Da Li!
The entire Luoliang City was completely defenseless against him, but he couldn't even use the disguise he had made in advance, so he went out of the customs with the caravan in such an open and honest manner, and went straight to the Tiger Prison Xiong Pass!
"This ...... Is it the first level in the world? ”
When Wei Ying stood under the Tiger Prison Pass and looked up at the majestic and indestructible Xiongguan in the world, he couldn't help but smile and suddenly look forward to it in his heart.
"Qin State, King Qin ......"
Wei Yingqiang hid his excitement in his heart, and couldn't help but read silently.
"Martingale comes and ......"
……
Qinchuan County, Hanyang City, King Qin's Palace
"Brother ...... Emperor"
In front of the steaming copper pot, Zhao Zhengzheng was very happy to wash vegetables, but found that the six emperor brothers were once again looking at the pot and were speechless, and couldn't help but say with concern.
"Why have you been distracted lately? Could it be that there is something bothering you? ”
"Harm~ If you want to say that it is annoying, it will not be ...... At most, it's a little bit of loss and regret......"
Zhao Qian sighed softly, but he put down the chopsticks in his hand directly, and no longer had the heart to deal with the delicious food in front of him.
"Oh? What is it...... Don't know if it's convenient to disclose? ”
Seeing this, Zhao Zheng couldn't help but put down the dishes and chopsticks, and said with curiosity.
"This ......"
When Zhao Qian heard this, his face immediately turned embarrassed, as if he didn't know how to speak.
"Well, if it's inconvenient, forget it......"
Zhao Zheng saw that the six emperor brothers hesitated slightly, and waved his hand again and again, signaling that if it was inconvenient, it would be okay.
"That's not ......"
Zhao Qian shook his head slowly, his brows furrowed slightly, and he said in a long time.
"By the way, Ninth Brother, do you know...... Dali entered Qin, but where should he enter? How long will it take? ”
"This ......"
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Zheng was slightly stunned.
After all, the six emperor brothers have traveled to various countries all year round, and it stands to reason that the topography and landforms of Kyushu have long been engraved in their hearts.
How can you turn around and ask yourself?
But even so, after coughing lightly, he forcibly suppressed the curiosity in his heart and responded.
"If you go straight to Qinchuan from Dali, you should clear the customs from the western border of Dali - Siting Pass, and then enter the eastern gateway of our Daqian - Dong'e City, and then pass through more than ten counties of Taizhou and Liangzhou, you can enter the territory of Qinchuan......"
After thinking about it for a while, he continued to add.
"If you say how much time it will take...... If you ride a horse quickly, without baggage, you can arrive in more than a month at most, right? ”
"yes, a month is enough......"
Zhao Qian immediately echoed and said, his face even more hesitant and confused.
"But why, he hasn't arrived in Qinchuan yet?"
In this situation, in the eyes of Zhao Zheng on the side, he couldn't help but move in his heart, and immediately joked.
"Could it be the emperor's brother...... Which woman are you waiting for? ”
"Huh? This ......"
Zhao Qian was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses and hurriedly explained.
"Ninth brother, no, it's not what you think......"
"Brother Huang! I understand, I understand~~~"
Zhao Zheng smiled evilly and waved his hand again and again, indicating that he understood everything.
Man, this kind of thing...... Isn't that normal?
"Ninth Brother...... You, you......"
Zhao Qian suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, so he had to shake his head again and again, knowing that he couldn't explain it anyway.
"No wonder the imperial brother wants to return to Qinchuan with me, so it is, so it is......"
Zhao Zheng immediately figured out this matter, if he thought about it like this, everything could be explained.
Otherwise, how could the six emperor brothers be so dignified that they suddenly want to return to this poor border county where birds don't with him?
It turns out that the six emperor brothers are not inevitably vulgar, or is it because of a certain stunning woman......
"No, Ninth Brother! It's not what you think......"
Seeing that the more the ninth brother thought about it, the more crooked it became, Zhao Qian couldn't help but wave his hand again and again, and hurriedly explained.
"Uh-huh, I understand, I understand~"
Zhao Zheng blinked deliberately, signaling that he understood everything.
"You ......"
Zhao Qian was speechless for a moment, he had always been good at arguing, and he didn't even know how to speak.
Seeing that the ninth brother had already identified him, he could only sigh helplessly and let it go.
And Zhao Zheng couldn't help but open his mouth when he saw the six emperor brothers shaking their heads and sighing, with a regretful look of loss.
"By the way, Brother Huang, if you really want to say that you rushed to Qinchuan from Dali...... But there is a second way to get through! ”
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Qian was suddenly stunned, and then his eyes lit up!
"You mean ......"
Zhao Qian couldn't help but turn his head to look at the ninth brother, but the two of them said in unison at the same time!
"Tiger Prison Business!"
Two days later, the mighty convoy of King Qin left Hanyang again and went straight to the border tiger prison.
……
"I didn't expect this year's Spring Festival to be spent in the Qin State......"
Wei Ying, who had already arrived in Qinchuan and successfully cleared the customs from the Tiger Prison Pass, looked at the bustling crowd on the street outside the window, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
The place where he is now is the Huaxia Trade City, which was funded and built by the Huaxia Trading Company, and is located on the huge plain behind the Tiger Prison Pass, about ten miles away from the Tiger Prison Pass.
Due to the haste of construction, the current construction is still relatively simple, and only a few large places for trading have been erected.
As for the corresponding supporting wine shops, inns, warehouses and other places, they are still gradually increasing.
But even so, this city of commerce and trade, which has just opened to the outside world and still seems simple and abnormal, has attracted a large influx of people, showing an unprecedented vitality!
It is important to know that this Huaxia Trade City is the only designated official trading place of Tiger Prison Business Road.
Compared with the customs market that temporarily provides small transactions outside the Tiger Prison Pass, this Huaxia Trade City, which is deep in the territory of the Qin State, covers an area more than ten times larger!
In this place for trade, not only does it not have to be cautious to open the market privately, as is the case outside the Siting Pass or outside the Dong'e City, but there is also a fear that it will be confiscated by the two countries at any time.
Instead, they can trade openly and boldly at will, not only without any risk at all, but also enjoy the protection and security of the garrison army.
In addition, all customs duties and miscellaneous taxes can be exempted, and only the Huaxia trading company that manages the city will be taxed according to the amount.
The tax rate is constant, and the tax is only drawn according to the amount of each transaction.
To put it simply, the smaller the transaction amount, the less tax will be charged, and the larger the transaction amount, the more commercial tax will naturally need to be paid in the corresponding proportion.
But if you don't trade, you don't even have to pay customs duties, and you can pass as you like.
But if anyone dares to evade taxes and trade privately, once investigated, all the goods will be confiscated, and they will be expelled from the customs on the spot, and they will not be allowed to enter the customs and trade forever!
Such a rare tax system, but Wei Ying couldn't help but secretly admire, and for His Royal Highness the King of Qin, who set up such a tax system, he admired it even more!
Such a tax policy that is conducive to business, as well as the open and legal promotion of commerce and trade, supplemented by the geographical advantages of connecting the three countries!
In time, how much will this Tiger Prison trade prosper......
Hiss~ It's unimaginable!
"And this coal ......"
Thinking of this, Wei Ying suddenly turned his head and looked at the thriving coal stove burning in the house.
Seeing that those swarthy coals could provide fire and heat comparable to charcoal, Wei Ying couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"I never thought about this world...... Is there such a thing as a wonder of heaven and earth? ”
I saw that the coal stove was connected to a pipe leading to the outside of the house, and I heard that the shopkeeper said that it was to exhaust the harmful "gas", otherwise the people in the house would fall into a coma and even die.
In addition, this coal stone has almost no shortcomings, and the selling price is only half of the charcoal!
And near the Baili Qinchuan River, where coal and stone are produced, the price of coal and stone is much cheaper!
In this way, almost every family can afford to burn coal and stone, and there will never be the kind of human tragedy in the cold winter and the moon, being frozen to death......
And for such a kind deed of His Royal Highness King Qin, Wei Ying was even more respectful in his heart, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"By the way, it's boring to stay in this house alone, it's better to go down and take a walk, so that you can understand the true face of the people of Qin......"
Thinking like this in his heart, Wei Yingdang got up and dressed, wrapped his body tightly, and braved the cold wind to leave the temporarily rented inn.
……
"Coal and stone things, although they are not good-looking, are extremely useful!
Its firepower and heat are no less than charcoal!
However, the king of Qin opened in the mountains and forests, gave to the people, and only sold half of it, benefiting the people of the world!
Giggle! Such a strange thing in heaven and earth is now in the land of Qinchuan!
It is to give the blessing of the Qin country to the heavens, and to feel the virtue of the king of Qin even more! ”
