Chapter 1497 Fighting Will and Hope
...
"Yu~~"
Amid Chen Xu's random thoughts, the carriage drove out of the palace, but he was stopped by a man in the street before he went very far.
"Who dares to stop the Grand Master's car!" A group of guards instantly drew their swords and picked their crossbows and stared at them.
"I am the manager of the Censor's Mansion. My master invited the Marquis of Qinghe to visit the Sanwei Teahouse for tea and enjoy the spring!" The visitor respectfully bowed his fists.
Chen Xu poked his head out and took a look. It was indeed the manager of Meng Yi's mansion. He asked a few questions. He learned that he had not found him at Qinghe Villa and had to chase him to the palace. So he ordered to drive to Sanwei Teahouse.
Meng Yi will not treat you easily. Not to mention drinking, he rarely drinks tea. First, this father-in-law, who is known as the Pixiu Qinghou, is indeed stingy. Second, in order to avoid suspicion, the two real power ministers will have too many ideas when they are together all day long. Therefore, without important official duties, almost all real power ministers rarely visit each other. They also interact with each other within the system, and there are few close contacts across departments.
It seems that Meng Yi really has something to discuss with him.
Chen Xu also felt that he would like to have in-depth exchanges with Meng Yi recently. After all, it will be Shangsi Festival in less than a month.
The emperor's last tour was related to the future of the Qin Dynasty.
Follow the Dongfang Road to Luoyang, turn to Wancheng and go to Nanjun, take a boat to Dongting Lake to inspect Changsha and Jiangxi, then take a boat to Poyang Lake and go down the river to Guangling, then go to Wuzhong, Hangzhou, and Juzhang. Take a new sea boat to board the Zhoushan Islands and then go to Fujian and Guangxi, Guangdong, and then take a boat to go straight to Langya Port, change cars and horses through Langya, Qi County, Julu, Hejian, Guangyang, Yuyang and other counties. Finally, after patrolling along the Great Wall, go back to Xianyang via Yanmen Pass.
This is the tour route that the First Emperor said when he was drinking tea by Chen Xu, who almost coincided with the route of Chen Xu's last inspection of the Tantu Project. Through the arrangement of the First Emperor, it can be seen that his inner thoughts are definitely not a coincidence.
Last time, Chen Xu was eating and drinking while traveling all the way, after being widely publicized by newspapers and the people, the First Emperor felt itchy. Although he knew that Chen Xu wasting his way around the world, he still couldn't help but want to go out for a trip.
As an emperor, inspecting his territory is an old example. Moreover, after conquering Lingnan, the First Emperor had never inspected it. This tour was reasonable in the eyes of the civil and military officials of the court and the people of the world.
Chen Xu did not object or stop the tour of the First Emperor. Although history has been changing continuously, important events are still unstoppable, and once forced to block, it will cause even more unpredictable and predictable consequences.
This tour of Emperor Qin was also the last tour of Qin in history, and it was the end of his life. The quiet Qin Dynasty will usher in a earth-shaking change, laying the disaster for collapse and collapse.
Since it is unstoppable and unpredictable, it is best to arrange and resolve it step by step according to the direction of history, at least in this way, there is still some mental preparation.
According to historical records, the biggest incident in the First Emperor's tour this time was probably the sand dunes in Julu County.
Chen Xu of Sha Dune had already arranged people to go and inquire a few years ago. It was a deserted beach outside Julu County. It was a vast terrain based on the mountains and rivers. The southeast was convenient to Julu County. It was indeed a good place to station the headquarters. According to historical records, Emperor Shin-Emperor died of illness when he was patrolling the sand dune. Then Zhao Gao, Li Si, and Hu Hai made a fortune, and then the Qin Dynasty began to be finished.
Since he had already known the historical nodes, Chen Xu naturally had to prepare early. Not only did he inquire in advance, but he also made some secret arrangements early, leaving many backup plans in Julu County.
Once this time, once you accompany the First Emperor on a trip, you cannot arrange many things on the road in person, and you need to arrange them early to avoid being in a hurry.
The letter to Yu Wuya was naturally due to Chen Xu's speculation, so that Yu Wuya led two thousand marine teenagers in advance to disguise themselves as various caravans or civilians to go to Langya to monitor the road along the way to the sand dunes. After the First Emperor arrived at the sand dunes, he lies near the head of the ambush.
A cloud-piercing arrow, thousands of troops will meet.
If the First Emperor really dies and someone is planning to make a mistake, just ignite a firecracker.
Two thousand rifles, ten thousand grenades and ten small cannons, crushing thousands of accompanying imperial guards will definitely not have too many problems. What's more, there are Chen Xu himself and Meng Yi, who are accompanying imperial guards. Even if the emperor collapses, the imperial guards should be able to stabilize. War is only a last resort. If you don't have it, don't use it. Otherwise, Chen Xu's hidden power will be exposed in advance. Even if it succeeds, it will arouse doubts from many princes, princes and ministers, and will also cause various speculations and turmoil among the people.
In this matter, Chen Xu was definitely far-sighted and had been planning almost since the time travel. Now nearly ten years have passed, and it has finally arrived at the moment of opening up.
What was the ending of this performance? Although Chen Xu was nervous, he was full of fighting spirit and hope.
The Hu Hai Group completely turned the world around and allowed the Qin Dynasty to survive, so that China could avoid a huge catastrophe. Once successful, the Qin Dynasty would truly kick off the prelude to the world and the future would be bright.
...
Sanwei Teahouse is one of the earliest teahouses in Xianyang.
The master behind the scenes is Nanyang Shuishi, which grew up quickly by relying on the tea business.
The Shui clan was just a pretty famous merchant in Wancheng. He had secretly had close contacts with the nobles of the six countries. Gongsun Beiyan's family had a deep relationship with the Shui clan. Otherwise, Shui Qingrou and Gongsun Beiyan would not have met each other since childhood and were like sisters.
However, since joining Chen Xu, Shui's status has also risen. Relying on its unique tea business, it monopolized the main tea channels of Daqin in just a few years. Tea has spread throughout hundreds of counties and counties. It also relies on the popularity and advantages of Qinghe Store, occupying almost half of the tea sales volume, and has successively launched several tea and brands from different origins. In addition, Shui's was one of the eight original shareholders of the Huaxia Money Bank at that time. Although it only invested 100,000 yuan at the beginning, it is probably a huge net worth of tens of millions and a hundred times profit. Only by opening a bank can you get the money like this.
However, Shui's family was not a businessman for generations, and their business mind and ability naturally could not be compared with those of the merchant families such as Fan's Wen family. Although they can now be ranked among the top rich people in Daqin, they are still quite different from the top group. Moreover, because Shui Qingrou repeatedly warned, Shui's family has always been relatively low-key on weekdays.
This Sanwei Teahouse was originally opened by Chen Xu instructed Shui to contact and discuss some things in private.
After Chen Xu arrived at the teahouse, soon the Mongolian mansion servants who had been waiting for a long time led the way and walked around to a quiet small courtyard.
"Wait for the door!" Chen Xu ordered a group of guards to stay and walked into the yard. He saw Meng Yi alone in simple casual clothes sitting under a pear tree drinking tea and waiting.
"Son-in-law, please see your father-in-law!" Although his identity was very high, his courtesy was not abandoned. Chen Xu still bowed respectfully to Meng Yi.
"Sit down, wait for you for half an hour, how can I come?" Meng Yi also stood up and whipped his hands randomly, his face obviously very unhappy.
"I just went to the palace and met the manager of my father-in-law's house when I went out. I came without stopping. Why is my father-in-law so anxious to find me to discuss it?"
Chen Xu sat down and poured himself a cup of hot tea as he cooked.
"Your Majesty summoned me?" Meng Yi nodded slightly and asked.
"No, I'm going to visit the eldest son's mansion and take the exam for the school's knowledge!" Chen Xu shook his head and explained, blew tea and shook his head.
"Hmph, you are a teacher, too diligent. Haven't you seen you run to my husband's house so flatteringly?" Meng Yi snorted coldly and rolled his eyes.
"Can anyone in the Montessus be the emperor?" Chen Xu also rolled his eyes.
Meng Yi shook his hand and poured his legs on the hot tea. His face was twitching while shaking the water, and humming: "Don't think that if you are the young master's name, you can control the future crown prince. Recently, I heard that Your Majesty seems to be looking for a marriage for Ziying, and the marriage partner is all idle nobles. I am afraid that the future is still very variable, so don't be proud too early. Moreover, I have heard in private that Ziying is full of resentment towards you and has not visited the mansion for a long time. I am afraid that if you don't go, this student will betray the master!"
"My father-in-law is thinking too much. Ziying is just because I don't agree with his marriage with Yu Ji. How can the crown prince of Daqin be so in love with him in the future? Today I will just mention him. If I don't repent, what if my son-in-law resigns as the young master!" Chen Xu spoke lightly.
Meng Yi was stunned for a moment, put down the teacup and looked at Chen Xu straight: "Do you really think so?"
"Of course, Ziying is just the eldest grandson of Your Majesty. There are more than a dozen princes in the middle who have not been granted the title, and the eldest prince has always stayed in Xianyang. Therefore, Your Majesty will definitely not establish a crown prince across the ages. This is not reasonable, but Your Majesty's thoughts are elusive. My young master was already a little confused at the beginning. Your Majesty may not just want me to teach a crown prince, but it is just to block the mouths of the princes, princes, princes, and civil and military officials in the court. After all, it will be criticized if you do not establish a crown prince!"
"Well, your statement makes some sense..." Meng Yi's face slowly fell seriously, and he thought for a while, and then said, "Well, let's not mention this matter for now. Today, I invite a son-in-law to come. First, I want to communicate Zhao Hai's recent actions, and second, the Shangsi Festival is coming in a blink of an eye. Your Majesty will go out for a tour soon. The nine-year disaster you mentioned was getting closer and closer. It needs to be arranged properly. You must not be distracted at that time."
