Compared with going to Xianyang, Xiao He naturally wanted to stay in Bashu.

The atmosphere of Bashu is more relaxed, and it is easier to show your strengths.

With Xiao He's help, Han Fei's efficiency in handling trivial affairs has been greatly improved, and as a result, Liu Ji, who recommended Xiao He, has a lot of good looks.

The sunset is like fire, and the melodious bell rings in the capital in the deep twilight, which is the sound of the city gate about to close.

"The sunset closes the city, and the pedestrian carriage enters and exits last......" the gatekeepers shouted in unison.

An endless stream of carriages, horses, and pedestrians returned with a full load, like a long river of colors, passing through the tall city gates and diverging in all directions.

"What did your eldest man bring back from the Chu State?"

"Hey, don't mention it. This stupid boy brought back a peacock feather. The caravan that came back from Baiyue last time brought back so many peacock feathers, and even many live peacocks. Peacock feathers don't sell for a good price right now. ”

"When the caravan returned, how did you know that your eldest man was out on an expedition? Besides, peacock feathers are still a luxury and valuable. ”

Pedeswalkers, you say a word, I say a word, and they exchange their experiences with each other.

Many fish stood on the high walls and stood on tiptoe to look: "Why haven't they come back yet?" ”

At the end of the line of sight, smoke and dust billowed and there seemed to be a large number of people galloping.

The Qin soldiers guarding the city gate immediately cheered up, raised their horns, and waited for the signal of the observers on the corner tower, are they friend or foe?

"They're coming!" Unlike the nervousness of the Qin soldiers, Liu Ji was very happy.

He vaguely saw the familiar flag.

"Nujun, we're back!"

"Nujun, we are fortunate not to be dishonored!"

Far away, the cheers of the crowd, mixed with the sound of horses' hooves, came.

As soon as they heard the familiar Qin language with the Bashu accent, the gatekeepers immediately relaxed, and were curious about who the person was, so they asked Ding'an Hou to greet him in person.

Soon, the gatekeepers were stunned by what they saw.

I saw a large group of fat and strong war horses, galloping forward, trembling violently, as if the earth dragon turned over.

"Lady! Wu Shi Lu is back! After a few years, Wu Shilu once again stepped into this familiar and unfamiliar land.

What is familiar is the feeling and the spirit of the pedestrians, and what is unfamiliar is the development and change of the city.

The capital became more and more prosperous, and at the beginning of its establishment, it still seemed that the huge capital was a little empty. Looking at it now, the capital is full, the crowds are rubbing shoulders one after another, and the sub-city outside the capital is comparable to the main cities of other vassal states.

This is the foresight of Ding'an Hou!

Wu Shilu was amazed in his heart, and saw the female monarch hurriedly walking down the city wall, and before she could get closer, he knelt heavily on the ground on both knees, and choked up in words: "Female monarch, I ...... it"

Many fish hurriedly helped Wu Shilu up, his eyes were red, and a thousand words turned into one sentence: "You have worked hard." ”

Over the years, Wu Shilu has not returned, he floated outside the plug, risked his life to trade with the Xiongnu nobles, and then handed over the horses that he had finally selected to his younger brother, so that his younger brother could send them back to Bashu.

Although he used his ingenuity to save a fortune that rivaled the country's wealth, he always remembered who he was working for.

At the beginning of the business, even with the name of the Bashu Chamber of Commerce, Wu Shilu still encountered a lot of difficulties, some things, had to bend down to do it, and even the process was undignified.

"But I know that every time I bend down, in the future, the female monarch will definitely find it back for me!" At the reception banquet, Wu Shilu said.

"That's right, at first, the Xiongnu nobles relied on being far away from Bashu, and often bought and sold by force. When the news of the flooding of Daliang City came, they didn't dare to do it anymore! "The little shepherd boy who used to steal cattle has become an important right-hand man of Wu Shilu.

At the reception banquet, there was a staggered mix of ideas and laughter.

The horses provided by Wu Shi Lu made great contributions to the battle of many fish and Chu. The crowd did not hesitate to compliment and congratulate them.

After Wu Shilu became a big businessman, he heard more good words than the stars in the sky, but none of them could compare to the praise at the reception banquet.

This is an affirmation from the family, and it is the best response to the young man at the beginning!

When everyone else had drunk too much and was helped by the servants to rest in the room, only Wu Shi and many fish were left in the hall.

The hall suddenly fell silent, and many fish drank slowly, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Wu Shi pouted and knelt in front of many fish: "My lord, this is the account book of the caravan. ”

Many fish walked slowly in front of Wu Shilu, crouched down, and picked up the ledger on the ground.

The outer skin of the ledger is wrapped in a shiny sheepskin, and the spine is strung together with tough wool threads.

In order to celebrate their return, many fish walked around the bonfire that was lit according to the custom of Wu's hometown, and threw the ledger into the bonfire.

The sudden rise of the flames scorched Wu Shi Lu sweating.

"Don't take it as an example." The light of the fire shone on the faces of many fish, flickering and dimming.

In response to many of the fish is the deep bend of the back.

"Since you said in your letter that you are here to select goods, then choose well." Many fish watched as tongues of fire devoured the ledger little by little, and the air was filled with an unpleasant smell of burning.

"Whoa!" Wu added, "The Xiongnu aristocracy was very fond of tea and silk porcelain. The bird feathers of Baiyue are also very popular. ”

"Thou shalt not sell salt and iron."

"Whoa!" Wu Shilu's cheeks were flushed, just like his own ashamed heart.

The female monarch had long known that there was something wrong with her account book, but she still gave herself dignity.

If you don't cherish the opportunity, I'm afraid that next time, it will be a knife to the head.

Wu Shilu has no complaints about this, because if he were himself, his subordinates would dare to embezzle so much money, and they would definitely kill him alive!

Wu Shilu really didn't dare, the poor became rich, and the poor and lowly people suddenly ascended to a high position, and they got carried away for a while, but they were completely sobered up by a basin of cold water at the feet of the female monarch! It's just a blessing, fortunately, I didn't make an irreparable mistake!

Wu Shilu thought of Zhao Mu of Zhao State, he wanted to buy the best horse, but he was blinded by lard at the beginning, and he was actually a little shaken. This time I go back, I must refuse him!

Many fish asked Wu Shilu to go back to rest, but he continued to work with candles.

The battle in Xianyang came to an end, Qin Wangzheng finally did not choose "Lü's Spring and Autumn", Lü Buwei knew that the general trend had gone, and took the initiative to resign and become a rich man in Xianyang City.

Then, a series of personnel changes occurred in the political arena of Xianyang.

Qin Wangzheng ordered Wang Juan to be the chief official, Li Si and Xunzi jointly formulated the etiquette system, appointed Wang Juan as the prime minister, Li Si as the chief official, appointed Zhao Gao as the commander of the CRRC, in charge of the Fu Xi order, and appointed Wei Yu as the national lieutenant.

In addition to this, there is good news.

Life and all things, life is in floods and droughts, and the key to disaster control is in rivers and canals. Zheng Guoqu, led by Zheng Guo, was finally completed ahead of schedule!

Just in time to catch a wave of spring ploughing.

It is rumored in the world that the destiny of heaven is in Qin.
