Chapter 281: The First Westward Advance
Sleep!
Yingcheng slept until dark.
After waking up.
Just look at the list of dart companies in the west!
Dart Walk!
It's a burgeoning industry, and westward expansion comes after it comes to politics.
In the past.
Some powerless trading houses transported goods, and in order to deal with bandits, they usually hired 'mountain villa' guards to accompany them.
The villas are usually formed by local wealthy families, local nobles, and nobles.
It can even be said that it is the largest military force outside of the army.
Of course.
And that's just for ordinary firms.
Because for most of the business houses that can cross counties or even cross counties, most of them are composed of noble or powerful families.
It has a good guard force of its own.
And for the real top nobles such as the Wang, Montessori, and Li clans, there are many soldiers in their trading houses who have been wounded in the war.
And for super trading houses that can cross the north and south, such as the Hu family, the Wu family, and the Zhuo family, they can even ask the defenders from all over the country to escort the goods.
This is the business form of the Qin State today.
It is extremely difficult for ordinary people to carry out business activities across counties.
As for the dart industry, the purpose of its establishment is also a commercial act.
However, in the face of Hexi, the Western Regions and other foreign places, military strength is the foundation, especially in this first batch of westward dart stores, basically no one is rushing to do business.
And this is also the meaning of the imperial court.
And this.
It also led to the list of dart shops in the west.
There is not a single folk dart shop, all of them are composed of Great Qin Xungui.
Feng Qujian did it very carefully.
On the list, the specific number of people is marked with each dart company, and because there are too many people, the list is not indicated, but it also means that the names of the dart companies are backed up in the Commercial Division, and the specific place of each person belongs.
"100,000 troops, I don't believe it, I can't take the Western Regions!"
Yingcheng stared at the directory and swept away the clouds, and his heart gradually became fanatical.
As a crosser, how can you not be eager to expand your territory and push the border line to the edge of the sky.
And now.
This first move is about to fall.
Entering the west, there are a total of eighty-two, thirty-two in Neishi County, fourteen in Hanzhong, Nanyang, Sanchuan, and Hedong around Neishi County, five in the land of Bashu, ten in the land of Jibei, two in Huaiyang, two in Hengshan, and two in Nanjun.
Basically.
The main forces are concentrated in Neishi County.
In Neishi County, there are 6,000 Montessori darts in the city, 4,000 in the Wang darts line, 5,000 people in the Ying family's darts line, 2,000 people in the Li family dart line, and 1,000 people in the Feng family dart line...... More than 50,000 people in total.
Nanjun Gongshi, Sanchuan Shen, Jibei Tian, Hedong Wei, Dongting Wu, Bajun Zhuo, Longxi Wu, Shangjun Dong.
Yingcheng didn't want to give more instructions, but just wrote the word 'quasi' on the fold, and ordered the chamberlain to return the fold to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
But actually.
He still has a little influence on Xiang Yu's military alliance.
If you look closely at the bright eyes above.
Except for Neishi County, the nobles of the other counties who went west were basically on the list of the Soldiers Alliance.
Other words.
Once the Qin State falls apart, follow this list of westward dart companies to catch the rebellious ministers and thieves, one by one.
It was these people who, after the death of the First Emperor, split the Qin State, causing Xiang Yu's cavalry in Jiangdong to attack all the way to Hangu Pass.
Especially the Luopu Er clan in Hanzhong, Liu Bang was able to go to Hanzhong to attack Chencang, which has a great relationship with these two clans.
Don't talk about it.
After sleeping for a day, Yingcheng didn't feel sleepy at all, but at this time, the ministers and departments had already 'got off work' one after another, and there was basically no one.
The backlog of government affairs can only be dealt with simply.
It is not suitable to go outside the city at night, so I have nothing to do and wander the streets.
The night was deep and dark.
Where there are few lights, houses close their doors, and night patrols shuttle through the streets.
From time to time, a commotion can be heard, with thieves running across the eaves and patrolling soldiers shooting with bows and arrows.
And still active, it is the government soldiers of the Tingwei Mansion.
It looked like a human death had occurred, and Ting Wei checked the eucalyptus scene in the middle of the night.
Yingcheng just swept by.
Tingwei was Qin Lu's frontline, but he never took the initiative to care about how Tingwei enforced the law, and even rarely interfered in Tingwei's trial.
It would be a big mistake to regard the reform of the law as amending the law, reducing the criminal law, punishing the guilty, and strictly enforcing the law, so that there is no wrong, false, or wrong in the world.
The essence of the reform is a change in political consciousness.
Put simply, it is a change in the system, not a change in the law itself.
As for the unjust, false and wrong, this can only be one of the results brought about by the change of the system.
If it is a change of law and grasping the unjust, false and wrong, it will be at best just a struggle between the parties and the parties who put the cart before the horse.
The important thing is what kind of signal he needs to send to the person who presides over the execution of the law, that is, Li Si, and if Li Si follows his will, then there will be a change in the way the law enforcement is carried out by the officials in the entire law enforcement system of the Qin State.
Naturally, there will be fewer unjust, false and wrongful cases, and there will be fewer corrupt officials and corrupt officials.
Officials make mistakes, and it is not the officials who are at fault, but the court!
Until late at night.
Yingcheng returned to Fusu Mansion at this time, woke up all the stewards of Fusu Mansion from their sleep, and inquired about all aspects of Fusu Mansion, and then stopped.
It can be seen from the melancholy eyes of the steward that he is quite dissatisfied with Yingcheng's behavior of not sleeping in the middle of the night to check the accounts.
However, it really allowed Yingcheng to find a manager who was full of private pockets.
This person was in charge of the cloth business of Fusu Mansion in Hanzhong, and he made a profit of more than 10,000 yuan with the help of the difference in the price of silk.
Yingcheng asked the housekeeper to escort the people up, and after dawn, they were sent to the Tingwei Division of Neishi County and handed over to the Tingwei Division to deal with.
And then.
Fusu Prefecture launched an operation to check the accounts.
Thereupon.
Fusu Mansion has become the only place in Xianyang City that is lit up in the middle of the night, except for Xianyang Palace and Wucheng Houfu.
"How does my father usually manage Fusu Mansion?"
Yingcheng looked at the housekeeper in the house very puzzled, this person used to be a nobleman of the Chu State, and he married to the Qin State with Mrs. Huayang, and since Fusu's memory, he has become the leader of Fusu's side.
Over the years, he has also been loyal to Fusu.
In the past, he only asked about Fusu Mansion, and there was no shortage of money and treasures, so he didn't care.
It was only after taking over Fusu Mansion these days that he found that the entire Fusu Mansion was running badly and the accounts were in chaos.
After weighing left and right, he still decided to rectify Fusu Mansion.
After all, tomorrow the old man will be back, and if he doesn't take the opportunity to straighten things out, he won't have a chance.
"This!" The housekeeper looked embarrassed, shook his head and said, "It's all the old slaves who do it, and the master never asks about the affairs of the house." ”
"Then how do you manage Fusu?" Although Yingcheng guessed eight or nine or ten, he still couldn't help asking.
"This!" The housekeeper hesitated slightly, shook his head and said, "The old slave just explains the matter and lets the people below do it." ”
"What should you do with the mistakes and omissions in the accounts, how do you deal with the people below who are full of private pockets, or how to deal with bullying and dominating the market?" Yingcheng asked speechlessly.
"The old slave only looks at the input of each trading house, as long as the money that should be paid is put into the treasury on time." The housekeeper said happily: "The eldest son doesn't have to worry, as long as there is input from the commercial banks everywhere, there is no need to worry about the use of the house." ”
"If there is a shop that loses money for several months, it will be closed, and we will still lose money in our house."
This housekeeper is a good hand in handling etiquette, and he can even go to Fengchang Mansion to be a long history Ling is more than enough.
But others.
It's really mediocre.
"Thoroughly investigate the situation of filling private pockets in all shops in the house, and if you find it, you will be dismissed!"
"Inventory the property, restrain behavior, and sell all shops that are not doing well."
Seeing this situation, Yingcheng also understood that this matter should not be said for a day, even if it was ten days and half a month, it could not be completed, so he could only propose a method, and he couldn't care whether he wanted to do it or not.
Finish dealing with the affairs in Fusu Mansion.
Yingcheng gradually felt sleepy, but he still washed up and came to the inner hall of the Dalu Mansion.
Today is a great event.
Even when the First Emperor ruled the world one by one, there was not necessarily such a grand scene.
Early in the Xianyang Palace, there were officials and chamberlains waiting in front of the Zhangtai Gate, accompanying Feng Qujian to welcome one after another wealthy patriarchs.
There are forty-two counties in the world, and eighty-two families are all over the world, and now they are gathered here, no less than the princes to worship.
Even if the Pinyang Wang clan is now mourning for Wang Jian in the family, Wang Fu, as Wang Qian's younger brother, also appeared in front of Zhangtai.
Just because.
Today's meeting is too important for them.
In front of the Dalu Mansion.
The most eye-catching thing is that the stone wall sprinkled by the morning sun on the stone tablet, the bright red and red font on it seems to come to life, shining brightly and blood red.
This sentence.
No matter who sees it for the first time, there is a majestic momentum that rushes to the face.
"Take the law as the public, revitalize the country and the country, take the law as the teaching, be loyal to the monarch and love the country, first the law and then the courtesy, in order to correct the country; Etiquette first and then law, in order to be virtuous! ”
"Legislation, what is the establishment, should be for the heaven and earth, for the people, for the saints to continue learning, for the eternal peace!"
It seems that this has become the words that every noble who comes here must stop and ponder.
But.
After stopping.
But they shook their heads one after another.
As a wealthy and aristocratic elder, there is no shortage of wizards.
Nature.
This leads to different understandings.
It's just that.
Facing the grand scene written on the stone wall, I can only look at it and sigh.
But.
And just a sigh.
Today's discussion is what they really care about.
Enter the front hall of the Great Law Mansion.
At this time, the front hall has been arranged and has changed its appearance.
One table after another sits on both sides.
In each person's seat, there is a fruit and vegetable court wine.
Cherries, persimmons, plums, pears, peaches, apricots, dates, melons, oranges, apples, etc.
The court wine enjoyed is also the rice wine that has been aged for more than 20 years, although it is not a spirit, but it is mellow and fragrant, the entrance is extremely sweet, and the aftertaste is endless, compared to alcohol mixed with water, I don't know how many times it is pure.
The patriarchs of various wealthy families also have their own acquaintances.
Except for the seats in the front, the rest of the seats are located in the area.
Soon.
As the number of patriarchs increased, the hall became noisy.
"Ding Dong ......"
And as the number of people increased, the music of chimes also sounded in the hall.
The light-hearted music made the atmosphere in the hall more relaxed.
This also made the noble lord who was originally nervous gradually relaxed.
It seems like it's going to turn into a feast of drinking and merrymaking.
But.
If you look closely, you can still see that the frequency of drinking is very low, and even in the face of toasts, some people only raise their glasses and do not drink too much.
And go further.
The inner sanctum of the Dalu Palace.
Yingcheng was dressed in a prison uniform and a green robe.
Sides.
Li Si, Nei Shiteng, Zhao Qia, Li Hua, Zhang Shaogong, Ying Tian, Wang Shu and other most powerful officials of Great Qin should sit.
Regarding the westward expansion, the imperial court also discussed it several times.
The three princes and the nine kings all have important matters.
And now, it is the first and most important discussion of the westward expansion, and all the provinces have participated.
Especially in the Taiwei Mansion, although the three major protectors were not in Xianyang, the Taiwei Mansion still dispatched three important figures at the level of generals to the scene.
The chief of the big Shu is Wang Shu, the big is the chief Yang Jie, and the big is the long Mengrang.
The Protector of the Metropolitan Commander, the General is an official position in the army, and the Chief of the Princesses is a title in the army.
The general is the most powerful military commander under the Protector of the Metropolitan Command, and he is also the most important official composition of the Taiwei Mansion.
Although the music and drums in the front hall ascended to heaven, the inner hall was already in full swing.
Daqin officials don't have the bad habit of being late, saying that when they meet, they would rather be early than late.
Before dawn, many important ministers had already come to the Dalu Mansion to briefly exchange the main content of today's deliberations with Yingcheng.
In particular, what we want to achieve is the focus of today.
It's being discussed.
Feng Qu slowly came to the inner hall and said, "Prison Country, the eighty-two nobles have all been present, and none of them are absent. ”
Yingcheng nodded confidently, absent from this kind of thing, if any family is not long-sighted at this juncture, then don't blame him for finding fault.
"That being the case, then I will be the noble of Great Qin for a while!"
said.
Yingcheng got up and walked towards the front hall with majestic steps.
Dozens followed.
Before arriving at the front hall, I heard many polite conversations, accompanied by music, quite a grand occasion of drinking and having fun.
However, whether it is an appearance or not, they all know it.
Yingcheng was the first to enter the front hall from behind the screen, and just came out, in the entire hall, whether they had seen Yingcheng or not, they got up one after another and stood quietly facing Yingcheng.
The relaxed music of the chimes quickly fell silent, and only the surging echo went up the beam and disappeared into the dome.
But.
With the three princes and nine kings behind Yingcheng, they appeared one after another.
But the atmosphere in the entire hall was extremely quiet.
One after another, the nobles and elders gradually sank their minds and waited for them.
If Yingcheng was the only one present today, it would be much easier for them.
But now that Yingcheng has come with the orders of the Three Princes and the Nine Secretaries, the meaning of that expression is extraordinary.
This is far more terrifying than facing Yingcheng alone.
This face.
It is no less than Great Qin launching a national war, and even, it is far more grand than the national war.
