Chapter 51: Reason
Ma Heng and the scribes saluted each other, and then knelt on the ground and sat opposite each other, the Hu chair had already been popular in all countries, but the Qin Dynasty still insisted on kneeling and sitting. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info is just like the character of the Qin people, simple, strong, and inflexible. This supported the Qin Dynasty to stand tall for thousands of years. Like the weeds, the wildfire burns inexhaustibly, the spring breeze blows and grows, he is strong, and the breeze blows the hills.
Waiting for the officials to leave, Ma Heng, as the master, personally poured tea and water.
The tea at this post station is naturally not bad, but it is not very precious, and the middle-aged scribe obviously knows that Ma Heng is not interested in the tea ceremony. I didn't try to talk to Ma Heng about the tea ceremony.
"I learned that General Pingxi had arrived in Xianyang today, and I never greeted him from afar, and I hoped that the general would forgive his sins. ”
Ma Heng shook his head, and didn't beat around the bush with the scribe, and asked directly: "Don't dare to be, I don't know what the gentleman is here for?"
The scribe smiled, "The general is a straightforward man. Then he asked, "What is the so-called matter of the general's trip?"
Ma Heng said bluntly, "Naturally, it is to repair the relationship between Qin and Han." ”
The scribe smiled, "Then I don't know if the general can be appointed by the Emperor of the Han Dynasty?"
Ma Heng was silent, and the scribe continued: "The general's trip is just to hope that the Qin Dynasty will abolish the ban on trade with the Han Dynasty. ”
Ma Heng acquiesced, this is something that does not need to be hidden, but because of his identity, Ma Heng can't just announce it directly.
The scribe smiled slightly, "The general will not succeed in this trip. ”
Ma Heng was not shocked or angry, but looked at the scribe with an inquiring gaze, if it was in Shanhaiguan and no one reported it, when he came to Xianyang, he could still feel that he had been treated coldly.
The scribe didn't sell the guanzi either, and directly told the story, "In previous years, the prime minister's office was responsible for the procurement of armaments, and since the Sui Dynasty hoarded heavy troops outside Xiao Pass, the general used the excuse to guard against the Sui Dynasty, and all military affairs were under the responsibility of the general's office, so that they could be dealt with quickly." The scribe paused for a moment before continuing: "The Prime Minister finally relinquished power, and the general thought that he had a chance to win, but who knew that he had fallen on his heels in Zhisu Neishi, and there was no matter how much the Prime Minister nodded, no matter what the general reported about the purchase of armaments, it was all presumed that there was no money. ”
Ma Heng smiled bitterly, he naturally understood, one was responsible for what to buy, and the other was responsible for paying the money, but the two of them fought, the ban was not the key, the ban was abolished, but the ban was abolished, Ma Heng went to talk to Wang Meng, Wang Meng couldn't decide whether to buy or not, talk to Fu Jian, Fu Jian couldn't come up with the money, and the result was that they didn't care about themselves.
Ma Heng looked at the scribe, the scribe came, naturally not to explain the internal struggle of the Qin Dynasty for himself.
The scribe's eyes were blazing, and he said word by word, "The ban does not need to be abolished, and the general has as many goods as we collect from the Qing Commercial Bank, and it is between Juyong Pass and Shanhaiguan, and it can be traded at any time." ”
Sending the scribe away, Ma Heng did not agree, but said that he needed to think about it for a few days.
As soon as the scribe left, Ma Heng immediately summoned a few caravan people to come over and let them calculate, just contact first, the scribe naturally would not discuss the details of the transaction with the scribe in detail, but the approximate estimate can also be known. Qing Commercial Bank also needs to be dotted all the way, and it also needs to make huge profits.
"If it is sold to Qing Commercial Bank, the price must be at least half lower, and it is estimated that Qing Commercial Bank is willing to buy it. The caravan man was quick to give an answer.
Ma Heng frowned deeply and asked everyone to go back to the house to rest. If it is this price, then what is the point of going all the way to the Qin Dynasty, it is estimated that if you don't come at that time, the Qing Commercial Bank will also find Xiliang, and the price may be higher, after all, it is the Qing Commercial Bank that takes the initiative to ask for goods.
Ma Heng suddenly smiled slightly, what did the Qin Dynasty lacked the most? War horses! And war horses are not just things that can be bought and used, at least they need to get along with the soldiers for several years, get along day and night and train together, and a qualified cavalry can be formed.
That is to say, don't look at the war has not yet broken out, the sooner the war horse is purchased, the better, and the Qing Commercial Bank came to the door at this time, which just shows that the battle between the two strong people of the Qin Dynasty is about to come to an end.
Sure enough, just two days later, Wang Meng posted that Ma Heng would go to the banquet three days later and personally set up a banquet to entertain Ma Heng and others. And with Wang Meng's post, the supervision of Ma Heng and others has also been relaxed a lot, at least accompanied by the people of the Qin Dynasty, they can also go to the streets freely.
What Ma Heng didn't know was that a major event happened three days ago, the migration of more than 100,000 people from the Murong Chui Department to Shanhaiguan was blocked, and hundreds of thousands of livestock were intercepted, and more than 100,000 people of the Murong Chui Department were moved to the Xianbei Headquarters and were under the direct supervision of the Murong Jun Headquarters. And the ancient road leading to Shanhaiguan was also heavily guarded. I don't want another person or thing to leave.
And this Murong Drape defected to the Qin Dynasty, which was Wang Meng's plan. There were troops directly under Wang Meng, but they were far from being comparable to Fu Jian, so Wang Meng found another way and recruited Murong Chui's troops to vote. It's a pity that the work was not done.
And this is the reason why Wang Meng has no time to deal with Ma Heng these days, although Murong Trai was recruited by Wang Meng to come to the Qin Dynasty, but it does not mean that he has to obey Wang Meng's orders, Fu Jian has also been vigorously recruiting Murong Trai these days, hoping that Murong Trai will join his own faction, not Wang Meng. Under the competition of all parties, Wang Meng naturally had no time to pay attention to Ma Heng, and even strictly forbade Ma Heng and others to enter and leave the post station, just in case Ma Heng went to contact Fu Jian, although Fu Jian actually had no time to take care of Ma Heng.
And in the end, Murong Chui still chose to take refuge in Wang Meng. Although Wang Meng, who won a complete victory, regretted that the more than 100,000 people and hundreds of thousands of horses, cattle and sheep could not be obtained, he immediately prepared to contact Ma Heng.
Accompanied by the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty, Ma Heng and his entourage of more than a dozen people went to the Qin Dynasty Shangfang District, and Ma Jun, who had been in retreat, finally appeared, and he had reached the realm of the acquired warlock.
The technology of the Qin Dynasty was not weaker than that of the Han Dynasty, and the two sides had advantages and disadvantages to each other, and in some respects they were greatly ahead of the Han Dynasty. At least twelve golden people, this Ma Heng looks at the description of the historical records, it is simply a humanoid Gundam. If it weren't for Qin Shihuang and the others who broke through the void, ten Xiang Yu would probably not have been beaten. Of course, the Qin Dynasty has never been successfully built since then, and it may have been lost long ago. As for the Han Dynasty, it can't even be imitated, and this is the reason why Ma Heng brought Ma Jun to the Qin Dynasty. Of course, it is estimated that the Shangfang District will not sell really high-end items of the Qin Dynasty, especially about the military aspects.
Coming to the merchant shop, the Qin Dynasty's merchant shop is very interesting, just like the Qin people's swords and people, straight and straight, well-organized, flat and stable, whether it is the street wall or the shop, they are all boxy, well-behaved, either gray or black, there is no beauty at all.
The commerce of the Qin Dynasty is far from being developed, of course, the Han Dynasty is also half a catty and half a tael, as the Han Dynasty that fully inherited the Qin Dynasty system, the Qin, Han, Qin, and Han are naturally not called indiscriminately.
