Chapter 21 The first level in the world!

Daqian Border Pass, Tiger Prison Pass

Outside the Tiger Prison Pass, the Tiger Prison General Gongsun Ji, who had learned early that His Royal Highness the King of Qin was about to drive the border pass, was already waiting here, waiting for His Royal Highness the King of Qin to come in person!

"The last general, Gongsun Ji! See His Royal Highness King Qin!! ”

Now seeing His Royal Highness the King of Qin coming in the royal car, Gongsun Ji immediately knelt on his knees and saluted!

"Huh...... General Gongsun, no courtesy. ”

Zhao Zheng smiled, and raised his right hand to signal that he was flat.

Because of the word Gongsun, Zhao Zheng inevitably became a little closer.

It's just because Gongsun Ji, the general of Weihu who guards the border pass, is not a bystander, but Yun'er's uncle, the son of Gongsun Yue, the Shangshu of the military department of the dynasty!

Needless to say, he and Yun'er have the closest intimate relationship among the children of the royal family.

As for Sun Yue, the secretary of the military department, in addition to the relationship between Yun'er's maternal grandfather, he is also close to Zhao Zhengduo.

At the beginning, above the court, it was Gongsun Yue who stood up for Zhao Zheng, the ninth prince who had not yet been crowned king, and pleaded in public!

Therefore, under the love house and Wu, Zhao Zheng naturally regarded Gongsun Ji, the general of Weihu who guarded the tiger prison, as his own person in his heart.

"Your Highness!"

Gongsun Ji immediately thanked him and got up suddenly, but before he could stand up and speak, he saw his little niece, the seventh princess Zhao Yun, suddenly grinned and said.

"Yikes! Uncle! I'm Your Highness too! How can you only call His Royal Highness King Qin! But you don't recognize me, Your Royal Highness the Seventh Princess! ”

Zhao Yun's words immediately made everyone laugh.

"Hahahaha!"

"Sister Yun! How can you always be so naughty! ”

Zhao Zheng laughed even more angrily, and couldn't help but pat her on the head on the spot, signaling her to be more well-behaved.

"Yes, Yes, Her Royal Highness the Seventh Princess taught ......"

As for Gongsun Ji, the general of Weihu, he couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, he couldn't help crying and laughing, he really had no way to do it for his naughty little niece!

"Okay, okay, at the moment, being at the border is not in my own clan, Sister Yun doesn't want to be naughty anymore!"

Zhao Zheng's face was solemn, and he said with a straight face, but he told Yun'er that this kind of border place was not a place for her to fool around.

"Okay, Brother Huang!"

Zhao Yun suddenly stuck out her tongue and nodded obediently.

This scene was seen in Gongsun Ji's eyes, but it made his eyes flash a little brilliant!

You must know that your little niece has always been an existence that is not afraid of heaven and earth!

In the past, in Xijing City, Mo said that his father was often helpless, but even His Majesty the Holy Emperor had a big headache!

When have I seen her so obedient, it was just a few words, so she obediently shut up, this well-behaved appearance!

"Tsk, there's finally someone who can cure Yun'er......

Gongsun Ji couldn't help but be amazed in his heart.

"General Gongsun, this is the ...... Shall I enter the customs later? ”

Zhao Zheng looked at this majestic and majestic world with curiosity, and kept thinking about his plan to make a fortune in his heart.

All he thinks about now is making money, making money, making money!!

Hey, by the way, it seems that the word given by my father for himself is to earn money (Zhengqian)......

This!

Father, he inevitably knows his son's virtue too well!

Zhao Zheng laughed 'poof', hurriedly shook his head, left the messy thoughts in his mind behind, and saw that he had come to the front of the pass, and subconsciously looked up, only to see that in the huge plaque, there were suddenly five big gilded characters!

'The first pass in the world'

"Good! It's the first level in the world!! ”

Zhao Zheng's heart was surging, and he couldn't help but praise loudly!

Such a magnificent and majestic pass, such a name swallowing mountains and rivers, it is really amazing!!

"Your Highness, the Tiger Prison Pass is built according to the mountain, it is unclimbable, the mountains and rocks on both sides are as high as more than 100 zhang, and it is dangerous and steep, there is nowhere to focus, you can only attack it from the front!"

Seeing His Royal Highness's praise like this, General Weihu Gongsun Ji couldn't stop smiling, and explained them one by one proudly.

"The whole fortress is made of large stone carvings! The city wall is more than three feet high and about four feet thick, which can be passed by two fully armored soldiers at the same time! ”

While explaining to Gongsun Ji, everyone climbed the city tower at the same time, and from time to time they patted the solid and heavy stone wall with their hands, sighing at the majestic majesty of such border passes!

"In addition, there is an urn city outside the pass, which is also built with large stones, forming a circular guard gate, and setting up sluice towers, arrow towers, pheasant moats and other fortifications!"

And while he had spoken, the people had come up to the top of the city.

"Huh? Urn City? ”

Just when Zhao Zheng was still wondering what General Gongsun said about Wengcheng, he saw Gongsun Ji pointing ahead and continued.

"Your Highness, look...... That's the Urn City! ”

Zhao Zheng immediately followed the prestige, but only saw that outside the city gate, there was a city outside the city, which was in the shape of a circle, and it happened to enclose the city gate.

This made him curious, and he immediately asked.

"General Gongsun, why is there a small city outside this city gate? And the outer gate and the inner gate are not yet aligned, and they are not even in a straight line! ”

Zhao Zheng still had a little bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder, and he felt a little curious when he saw that the gate of the urn city outside the city was not in a straight line with the gate of the inner city.

"Your Highness doesn't know anything...... This urn city is set up to defend the city gate, if the two city gates are facing each other, wouldn't it be convenient for the siege enemy? ”

Gongsun smiled and responded, but Zhao Zheng immediately realized!

Oh...... I see!

The outer city gate and the inner city gate are just staggered, not in a straight line, if the siege army breaks through the outer city gate, but it cannot attack the inner city gate again in one go!

Under such a staggered situation, the difficulty of attacking the city has risen sharply!!

"I see! I see! ”

Zhao Zheng couldn't help but sigh, the wisdom of the ancients is really admirable!

But that's not all! Your Highness, you see, this urn city is round, like an urn to put the inner city gate in it, if the enemy attacks the urn city, our army will wait for the opportunity to close the city gate, then under the internal and external attack, will not catch the turtle in the urn, and the hand will be captured? ”

Seeing that His Royal Highness was so interested, Gongsun Ji gestured with his hands and explained vividly.

"Hahahaha! What a turtle in an urn!! ”

Zhao Zheng immediately laughed, it turned out that the word catching turtles in the urn came from this!

He couldn't help but look at the arrow towers, the gate towers, and the jagged battlement walls, that is, the pheasants.

Suddenly sighed in my heart, if you enter this urn, it will really be ten deaths!

"Such a majestic city! It really lives up to the name of the first level in the world!! ”

Zhao Zheng swept the pass and couldn't help but sigh with emotion!

Just as far as his eyes could see, there was a mystery beyond the urn city, but there was a moat that meandered and flowed and surrounded the entire pass!

The river is wide, the water is unfathomable, there is only one suspension bridge on the river that can be passed, and it is now being hoisted high, so it does not give the enemy half a chance to sneak attack!

With such tight fortifications, coupled with the dangers and geographical advantages, this tiger prison is really worthy of the name of the world's first male pass!!

"Not bad! Tiger Prison is the first level in the world! This is the public opinion of Kyushu! ”

As the general of the Tiger Guard, Gongsun Ji couldn't help but show pride on his face whenever he mentioned this matter!

"Good! All right! There is this Xiongguan and dangerous pass, and General Gongsun is stationed here! But this king can rest assured, don't worry about the loss of the country! ”

Zhao Zheng nodded again and again with satisfaction, and almost praised it on the spot!

"The last will be terrified! Your Highness has a reputation for ......"

When Gongsun heard this praise, he couldn't help but show joy on his face, and hurriedly bowed down, panicking.

It's just that what he never expected was that His Highness's next words only made his legs and feet weak immediately, and he almost fell to the ground!!

"General Gongsun...... In your opinion, if the Tiger Prison is used as the hub of commerce and trade circulation in the three countries, what should it be? ”

Zhao Zheng suddenly spoke, but everyone was shocked!

What the? Treat the Tiger Prison border as a trade gate?!

This......

Not quite right, right??

"Your Highness...... The weight of the tiger prison! It is the gateway to the country! There is no room for mistakes!! ”

Gongsun Ji suddenly felt that the pressure increased sharply, and he couldn't help swallowing his saliva and hurriedly explained.

"But what you hear today...... But obviously not afraid of any foreign enemy invading? ”

Zhao Zheng said, and immediately pointed to the extremely well-fortified urn city in front of him, as well as the moat not far away, and looked at General Gongsun with a puzzled face.

"Your Highness...... That said, it's so crucial! How, how can I ......"

Gongsun was speechless for a moment, and even wanted to slap himself twice!

What did he think in his head, did he have to explain in detail to His Royal Highness the King of Qin how this tiger prison was, how strong and abnormal? ?

Isn't this just for yourself to have nothing to do?!

"Hey! If it were someone else, I would still be a little relieved, but General Gongsun himself sat here! This king's heart...... It's so reassuring! ”

Zhao Zheng immediately smiled, patted General Weihu's shoulder, and signaled that I am very optimistic about you, General Gongsun!

"This, this, this...... Your Highness, this ......"

Gongsun Ji showed bitterness on his face, but he was choked on the spot by a sentence, and he couldn't speak for a long time......

……

"Your Highness, what do you mean...... But it was to build a trade port (bΓΉ) outside the city for small-scale transactions, and then to build a large-scale fang market in the Kannai for large-scale trade? ”

Sitting in the hall, Gongsun Ji listened patiently, and after listening to His Highness's extremely complete plan, he nodded thoughtfully.

"Not bad! The weight of the tiger prison cannot be missed! However, it is such a good location, and it is a pity to abandon it because of this! ”

Zhao Zheng bowed slightly, and revealed the plan he had already planned in his heart to General Gongsun He.

He knew in his heart that in the future, the matter of the Tiger Prison Closing the Trade Port would not be able to bypass the General Weihu Gongsun Ji no matter what!

Therefore, his careful plan naturally needs to be communicated clearly with General Gongsun in advance.

He must be thoroughly understood his intentions, so that he can better cooperate with himself, build Hugao Pass into a trade hub of the three countries, boost Qinchuan commerce, and drive the prosperity of Qinguo!

"Therefore, this king wants to divide the matter of trade into two steps!"

Zhao Zheng stretched out two fingers as he spoke, and said with a straight face.

"First, outside the moat, build fortress fortifications, send heavy troops to guard them tightly, and use them as the first protective checkpoint of the Tiger Prison Pass! Anyone who wants to enter the fortress will have to pass a strict check inside the fortress! ”

Gongsun Ji couldn't help but nod his head again and again when he heard this, and he agreed in his heart, such an arrangement is indeed well-thought-out and abnormal!

"In this way, the fortifications of this fortress can be used as the boundary, and the outside of the fortress can be used as a commercial port for merchants and merchants, and houses and grass huts can be built for the trade and trade of foreign countries."

Zhao Zheng sat up straight and continued to add.

"Inside the fortress, it is necessary to go through a lot of checks, and then enter through the suspension bridge, urn city, and city gate, strictly limit the entry and exit time every day, do not stay, do not rest, once you enter the city, you must immediately go out! Go to Kannai and live there! ”

When Gongsun heard this, he couldn't help clapping his hands again and again, only to feel that this kind of arrangement was really very careful!

If you let the merchants of the countries live in the city, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no chaos!

But if all the merchants are arranged outside the city, the tiger prison will be closed at night, and you can't go out or enter outside.

"Second, build a large square market in the customs area and build a large-scale square market for the use of business travel and commerce between countries!"

Speaking of this, Zhao Zheng couldn't help but show a little excitement.

"Since then! If Da Li enters the dry, you don't have to go far around the Baili Qinchuan River, and go around thousands of miles! And you can go straight to the tiger prison, and then go straight to the 36 counties of the three states of Daqian! ”

Zhao Zheng clapped his hands and stood up as if excited!

"And Beidi is in the dry, but there is no need to be sneaky and enter the country privately! You can go straight to the tiger prison, and the treasures of the Western Regions will go straight to all parts of Kyushu!! ”

Zhao Zheng couldn't help but paced in the hall again and again, and then sighed excitedly!

"So! The tiger prison will become the trade center of the three kingdoms of Daqian, Dali and Beidi! Here is a big ...... But how can you make a fool of yourself?! ”

Even if Zhao Zheng saw and listened a lot in later generations and learned a little business knowledge at will, it was still far ahead of the ancient feudal society at this time!

In this way, the Tiger Prison will be transformed from a remote point to a core hub of commerce and trade between the three countries!

If this matter is really successful, how can the benefits here be clearly calculated?

The trade exchanges between the three countries will bring a huge boost to the entire Qinchuan.

And it is precisely because of this that Zhao Zheng will not hesitate to travel long distances to come to this border in person!

This trip must completely open up the business of the tiger prison!!

As for the people in the hall, after hearing this, they were even more shocked, but in their minds, they had never had such a bold and strange idea!

At this moment, everyone looked at His Royal Highness King Qin in unison, their eyes full of disbelief......

'His Royal Highness the King of Qin...... Is it really only 12 years old?? ’

……

"I am fortunate to listen to the imperial brother's policy of governing the country, and the words of the country!

After more than 20 years, every time I reminisce, it seems to be vivid!

The vision of the royal brother, if the gods look down, it has come to this day!

The strategy of the royal brother, if it is ingenious, it is wonderful!

The vision of the royal brother, if the ancient holy emperor, the warp and weft are also ancient and modern!

Wow! The imperial brother is with Qin Chuan, with the great Qian, if the person is a godsend, the son of destiny is also! ”
