People knelt on the grassland, looked at the sky in the distance, and shouted: "Immortal Heaven is above, Immortal Heaven is above!" He turned over and dismounted, kneeling in front of him, his hands crossed in front of his chest, with a little solemnity and pride in his expression: "Immortal Heaven is again." ”

"The new meadow you have given us, we must cherish."

"This time, no one will be able to snatch the new meadow from us, and we will live and die with the new meadow." It is impossible for the Xiongnu to retreat again and again, and Mao Dun seems to have retreated to this west, which is already his last bottom line.

Only by saying the words to the end and making the bottom line clear, will people who have now retreated to the West know that they have no way back.

These are the people who rule the Immortal Heaven in the name of the Immortal Heaven. And the people of the Huns looked at the high sky, with stability and firmness in their voices.

They also shouted: "Immortal Heaven again!" ”

"We will live and die with the new meadow!" Endless shouts echoed across the meadows, the new meadows were gentle, and a river flowed slowly in the distance.

The docile river doesn't speak, but there is a powerful empire on the far side of the river. The mighty empire could speak, and the blades in their hands could speak more than their mouths.

After saluting respectfully, Maudun raised his head and looked in the distance, and he seemed to see through the endless void the kingdom that stood on that distant land, a barbarian country.

Not long after the new Xiongnu Empire was founded, the test they had to face was already coming. ........... Stretching along the seashore, a magnificent empire stood.

Their leader stood by the sea, looking out over his own territory. The land and the kingdom here are not peaceful, and the Roman Empire, which is as powerful as the Roman Empire, has its own enemies, such as Carthage, which also stands here, and the civilized Greek state.

Rome was not without enemies, but in the eyes of Publius, he did not feel that the overly loose Greece would be his enemy, and that it would be a hindrance to his progress.

He turned his head with a hint of determination in his expression.

"Whether the Presbyterians agree or not, we must wage war against Carthage, for we must judge Hannibal, or we will not be able to bring the rest to their knees." Diaphragm

"The land and wealth in the hands of Rome were never through commerce, as in the hands of Greece."

"War is inevitable, and we must move on." Publius' eyes flashed with the fury of a lion, and his voice was as heavy as the sound of thunder, with a hint of thunder in it.

The people around listened to Publius' voice, and the expressions on their faces were equally cautious. Only a few people had worries in their eyes, could the House of Elders still be able to stop the general?

Maybe it still can. ........ Yan Daqin, Xianyang City Li Si sat in the Prime Minister's Office, thinking about it, while revising the problems that appeared in Chen Ke's documents.

He did not revise Chen Ke's overall plan, because he also felt that this plan was good, as long as this plan continued, Great Qin would definitely be able to conquer the distant Baiyue, and thus obtain all the land there.

But in some details, Li Si felt that Chen Ke was not good enough. As early as two years ago, Li Si discovered that Chen Ke had just the right control of some of the overall situation, and many times the things he proposed were completely new and could improve the current difficulties and even solve the problems.

But Chen Ke is not good at details, so many times it is Li Si who is silently tinkering.

While writing, Li Si laughed self-deprecatingly: "In the old man's life, when did he suffer such a grievance and have to make up the east wall for others?" He pursed his lips, although his face was full of reluctance and complaining, the movements in his hands did not stop, and he was still patching Chen Ke's plan.

After an hour, two hours, and two and a half hours had passed, Li Si stopped his pen to revise and add plans, rubbed his eyes at the same time, hammered his waist, and felt a little uncomfortable all over.

"Forget it, don't get it."

"Let's go find Chen Ke and have a meal." Li Si smiled: "I have to take advantage of the fact that there is still time to teach some Chen Ke and let him modify these things himself." ”

"How many years can the old man be a tinkerer for him?" There was a little helplessness in his voice. In the Prime Minister's Office, after Li Si left, Cao Shen looked at the official document placed on the table, a little helpless, and finally could only pick it up and put it aside, I don't know if it was intentional, or the official document and government affairs left unintentionally.

"Why has the prime minister's memory deteriorated recently?"

"Every time, there are some official documents left, and government affairs are left without being handled." Cao Shen pressed his forehead, feeling that his workload was increasing day by day, and now he was doing the work of two or even three people before.

.......... Xianyang City, surrounding states and counties. Yan Chenke had asked the people of Heibingtai to publicize the new currency, not only in Xianyang City, but also all over the country.

The first to radiate must be the places around Xianyang City. With the deliberate cooperation of the local county guard, the news of the new currency spread widely, and far away from Xianyang City, the situation that Chen Ke wanted to see finally appeared.

Some people are starting to wonder how the circulation of new coins will affect them. Among them, the most thoughtful are some businessmen and the like.

....... There are not many merchants in Sanchuan County, but some nobles who have been handed down.

After the Fan family led by Fan Muye left, the most famous family here became a family surnamed Zhu.

In the past, after Fan Li helped Goujian, the king of Yue, successfully recover the kingdom of Yue, he saw at a glance that Goujian, the king of Yue at that time, was a king who could endure hardships together, but could not enjoy together, so he retired in advance and avoided it

"The birds are all gone, and the good bow is hidden; The cunning rabbit dies, and the lackeys cook". Later, Fan Li lived in seclusion and did business among the people, and later generations called him Tao Zhugong.

After the news spread, the people of Yue went to find the descendants of Tao Zhu Gong several times, trying to persuade them to continue to serve the king of Yue, and promised that the king of Yue would treat them well and would never be like their ancestors.

The descendants of Tao Zhugong were overwhelmed, and obeyed the orders left by their ancestors, and no longer got involved in this worldly battle.

However, no matter what kind of family it is, it is impossible to unify it inside, and at that time, in the face of the situation that the descendants of the Yue King were found, the descendants of Tao Zhugong were divided into two parts.

Some of them were fame and fortune, and wanted to follow the descendants of the King of Yue to re-establish the Yue Kingdom, and then worship the prime minister.

Some of them look at fame and fortune, stick to the ancestral teachings left by their ancestors, and do not get involved in the battle of the emperor. Therefore, the descendants of Tao Zhugong are divided into three parts, and some of them still have surnames

"Fan", following the descendants of King Goujian of Yue to seek the restoration of the country. The rest of the people were divided into two parts, and their surnames were changed to "Zhu",

"Tao".

The surname "Fan" inherited the art of war and other things written by Fan Li, and the two veins of Zhu and Tao inherited the business strategy of Tao and Zhu Gong and part of the family property respectively.

Each of these three parts heads to different places. Among them, the branch surnamed Zhu came to Sanchuan County, settled in Sanchuan County, and has continued to this day, and even some people surnamed Zhu here no longer remember the glory of their ancestors.

In the large courtyard stretching in the courtyard of the Zhu family, Zhu Penglai looked at the clan elders sitting beside him with a solemn expression, sighed and said: "Everyone, you should also know that although we forced the Fan family away, our life is not much better. ”

"Now rumors are coming all over the world, and it is rumored that the First Emperor wants to abolish Qin Banliang and forge new coins to show the majesty of the empire."

"What should we do?"

"Full cooperation? Or ........" Zhu Penglai didn't finish his words, he just looked at the person sitting in front of him and sighed softly.

And the expressions of a group of clan elders were also a little solemn and helpless: "New coins? How long can I use my new coin? What does the new dollar look like? "Ahh

"Qin Banliang has only been used for less than three years now, and His Majesty the First Emperor is already going to replace the new coins, will it continue to be replaced in the future?" An old man sitting on the far left opened his eyes slowly, his eyes full of exhaustion: "We all know that we don't have any ability to compete with the imperial court, so all we can do is to choose more and less support." A sharp light flashed in his eyes: "Now that we are at the end of our rope, why not fight?" ”

"Fan Muye's kid fought and went to Penglai to find Prime Minister Chen Ke, and later it turned out that he took the right step, and now the Chen family is already a famous family in Penglai."

"Even Fan Muye himself has taken on the post of director of the Publications Administration."

"This position is only one or two levels lower than the county guard, and only one level lower than the county guard." The old man's eyes flashed with an unclear light: "What if we fully support Your Majesty?" Your Majesty doesn't care about our support, but if we are the first to support Your Majesty, then Your Majesty will definitely reward us. "Ahh

"Even if it's just a reward for some ordinary things, with this one thing as a backer, we can continue to develop steadily, and we don't have to worry about what the Sanchuan County Guard will do to us." Zhu Penglai also bowed slightly: "That's exactly what I think, but I don't know what you think, so I came to you and wanted to hear what you think." Everyone looked at each other and echoed what the old man had said before.

This seems to be the best and only way. Zhu Penglai immediately nodded: "Since this is the case, then I will order the people below to prepare." ”

"If you don't do it, it's enough, once you do it, you must let Your Majesty have an impression of us, and you must do your best."

"In the past, His Majesty was able to build Huaiqing Terrace for the Ba widow Qing to show that he attached great importance to the affairs of the merchants, why can't he reuse the Zhu family now?" Diaphragm

"You must know that the Zhu family is also a businessman in the past, and it is also the descendant of Tao Zhugong." ......... When Li Si of Chen Mansion came to Chen Mansion, he was a little stunned when he saw the people in the courtyard.

Because Wang Jian is already there. Wang Jian was lying in the rocking chair under the tree, staggering, so uncomfortable, but Chen Ke's voice was not seen in the courtyard.

Li Si asked with some curiosity: "Old General Wang, what about that kid Chen Ke?" Yan Wangjian's closed eyes opened slightly, looked at Li Si standing in front of him, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Prime Minister Zuo, I thought it was who came to find Chen Xiaozi." He pointed to the recliner next to him and said, "Sit down, Chen Xiaozi will personally watch the cooking." Wang Jian yawned: "The official of Zhisu sent a batch of new spices, saying that after the farmer's research, the varieties planted in Daqin, there is no need to worry about the lack of spices in the future." ”

"Now there is only a small supply, because this batch of spices has not yet fully matured, and when it is gradually promoted in the future, maybe one day the spices can really be widely used, so that the poor can also afford it." Li Si was not polite, and lay down in the recliner with a leisurely expression.

"No matter how productive it is, spices can't be something that everyone can afford in a short period of time – it takes time to grow and promote something."

"Even if His Majesty strongly orders the promotion of planting, the growth of spices will take time." He shook the chaise longue beneath him, which creaked.

"Squeak-"

"But-" Li Si said with emotion: "Boy Chen, Feng Zai, that kid has indeed done good things, especially Feng Zao, who was able to bring back the seeds of spices from the Western Regions, which saved Daqin from being stuck with spices in the Western Regions and cutting his throat." ”

"If you don't rely on these things, then the Western Regions will have no constraints on Great Qin." He yawned and said, "Yawn—"

"When will Chen Boy be able to do a good job? What are you going to eat tonight?" he touched his stomach: "The old man is already a little hungry." As he spoke, Li Si seemed to remember something, took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, and then handed it to Wang Jian beside him.

"The old general take a look, this is the plan formulated by Chen Ke to attack Baiyue."

"The attack on Baiyue mentioned in the book is actually more like attacking the land of Dongyue, completely pocketing the coastal part, and then using this as a basis to swallow the world."

"What do you think?" Wang Jian smacked his lips and looked at the documents in his hand carefully: "I think it's pretty good, just let Zhang Han and Zhao Tuo go, the old man is afraid that he won't be able to take them, so it's better to let the old man forget it." He looked at the mountains and rivers in the distance from afar: "After all, the old man is familiar with such a thing as destroying the country." Listening to Wang Qian's somewhat proud words, Yan Lisi couldn't help laughing for a while.

He looked at Wang Qian's eyes and immediately explained: "Old general, if you want to attack Baiyue, you just say it directly, why use Zhao Tuo and General Zhang Han as excuses?" ”

"Your Majesty shouldn't obstruct your trip to Baiyue, right?" Wang Jian shook his head, and was about to say something when an unusual fragrance came from a distance.

And then there was a voice.

"It's time to eat!"
