Chapter 858
"Report~, Xianyang urgently reports, and quickly pass it to Your Majesty!"
Several postmen with flags on their backs came from the west and broke into the cabin at the foot of Langya Mountain with tokens. They turned over and jumped off the horse and handed the bamboo tube on their backs to the leader of the imperial guards.
"The mission sent to the Yuezhi to return to Xianyang, but was attacked by the Yuezhi people two hundred miles away from the Longxi border, with heavy casualties..."
In the tent of the tent, Emperor Shin-Yun sat on a big chair and informed the officials around him about the urgent reports from Xianyang. This urgent report finally awakened him from the catalogue of prophecies and Chen Xu's secret books.
No matter what the prophecy of Hu, the deceased Qin, pointed out, as long as he returned to Xianyang, he could naturally ask Chen Xu again, but this sentence made him a little unruly. Li Simengyi and others who were accompanying him were all confused and could only make some messy guesses.
"Your Majesty, the Yuezhi attacks our mission and kills our Great Qin soldiers. We will inevitably try to be an enemy of our Great Qin. I suggest that you immediately spread the word that Feng Xiang is in charge of food, grass and weapons in the capital, and prepare to launch a war against the Yuezhi!" Wang Ben, the Marquis of Tongwu, stood up and clasped his fists.
"Yuezhi is so blatant, how can I show weakness in the Qin Dynasty? I must fight back hard, otherwise the arrogance of the Qiang and Rong tribes in the Western Regions will be sharply increased!" Meng Yi also stood up to support Wang Ben.
"I'm going to discuss it!" The officials accompanying him bowed together to post.
Shortly after the Great Qin pacified the world, he fought with the princes of the six countries for more than ten years. They were all officials who grew up in the sea of fire and fire. They had never lost quarrels, nor had they lost in the fights, because all the opponents who refused to admit defeat inside and outside the territory of China were crushed to death. At present, a Western Region Mishu actually dared to shit and pee on the head of the Great Qin. No matter whether the emperor could tolerate it or not, all these civil and military officials could not help it.
The glory of the Qin Dynasty cannot be provoked by these barbarians who eat raw meat and drink blood.
"Your Majesty, since the mission has returned, I don't know if the messenger's memorial can be there?" Li Si, who was a mature and stern, made the final speech.
"The envoy Li Shun has a memorial, saying that the Yuezhi internal appearance is in harmony and separation, and it is speculated that this matter was not done by the Yuezhi King. He has already informed the Marquis of Jingwu!" Qin Shihuang nodded.
Li Si breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Since General Meng knows this, there will inevitably be some arrangements. The old minister advises Your Majesty not to rush to spread the news that Feng Xiang raised military supplies and food. In a few days, you may wait for General Meng's memorial. It will not be too late to make plans at that time. When the war comes, Your Majesty is not in the capital, and many of them may change!"
The faces of the officials who accompanied him were frozen instantly. After a long time of silence, the emperor nodded slightly: "Li Xiang is the country's words. This matter will be made until General Meng's memorial is sent to make arrangements. Moreover, when I left the capital, it was already one year's time for Xu Yuezhi. Conquering Yuezhi is not the primary thing. If you pass it on, you will be able to set up camp early tomorrow morning..."
"I will obey the order!" A group of officials bowed and left the tent of the tent, commanding their accompanying servants to start packing their luggage and belongings, and thousands of imperial guards also began to get busy.
On the tenth day of May, the First Emperor, who was traveling in the southeast for the second time, started his ceremonial journey from Langya and turned south to Donghai County.
On the coast of Langya, a large number of civilians and craftsmen were also summoning and gathering. Thick logs were towed by civilians and livestock to the docks by the sea to build new sea boats. At the same time, the entire southeastern counties had received new orders from the emperor, and five hundred boys and girls were summoned to sea to find the fairy island of Shenshan. Suddenly, countless poor farmers and fishermen separated the flesh and blood.
Just as the emperor was traveling south, Chen Xu also took Liu Bang and others to Wuzhong, Kuaiji County City, and went to Xia Pi, which was only seven or eight hundred miles away from the emperor's parade.
Chen Xu stayed in Xia Pi for only a long time before leaving.
When I saw Zhang Liang this time, I saw that Zhang Liang had already married and had children in his name and settled down here. I felt regretful and felt a sense of relief I had never experienced before.
As the number one counselor who assisted Liu Bang in later generations, Zhang Liang had embarked on a completely different path in Xia Pi. Liu Bang would be fooled by him to Xianyang and monitor him. If Xiang Yu was fooled to Xianyang again, these two top bosses who had turned over the Qin Dynasty would have no chance to turn the world.
As for the idea of bringing Zhang Liang under his command, Chen Xu had also had it, but Zhang Liang was different from others. He had a criminal record. Once Bolangsha's assassination of the emperor was leaked, Chen Xu would be involved. If he jumped into the Yellow River, he would be unable to wash it clearly, so Chen Xu had no need to take this risk.
He didn't know at all about Shui Qingrou and Yu Wuya chasing Hou Gong in Laoshan. When he was free and easy, he had no idea that his dear wife would actually avenge him. He also fell into Xia Zijin, who asked to help find him, and was seriously injured by Huangshi Gong and threw him on a deserted island a hundred miles away from the mainland.
Xia Pi is more than one thousand miles away from Wuzhong. In midsummer, the plants and trees are lush and everything grows in competition. A large number of rice fields and mulberry fields along the way present completely different scenery and customs from the Guanzhong Plain in the northwest.
Rice, millet, rice, barley, wheat, and various water and dry crops can be cultivated in the southeastern counties. Because the sunshine is sufficient and the rain is abundant, it is more diverse than the pure dry crops in the northwest. In addition, there are a large number of mulberry fields and more varieties of fruits and melons. The most are aquatic products, including shrimps, crabs, fish, turtles, lotus roots, water chestnuts, chicken heads, etc., so there are many fishermen who rely on water to make a living, and fishing boats can be seen everywhere in rivers and lakes.
Therefore, on the way to Wuzhong, I would basically find a place to rest at noon, and I would make works and taste various locally produced fish, shrimps, fruits and fruits. When encountering storms, I would gather at the farmhouse or the storm station to have dice, and pass through Hongze Lake, Gaoyou Lake, and the Yangtze River. I would go back and forth, horses, boats and boats to rush back and forth, and slowly took half a month to arrive at Wuzhong.
Wuzhong, also known as Wuxian, was the county town of Suzhou in later generations and the location of Kuaiji County. It used to be the capital of Wu and later belonged to Chu. Therefore, people here have always been very dissatisfied with the rule of Qin.
However, three years ago, the emperor encountered a storm when he first toured the southeast. Many places in Kuaiji County suffered heavy rain disasters, resulting in almost no grain harvest. The First Emperor on a whim exempted local farmers from summer grain taxes and also asked local officials to actively provide disaster relief. This made the emperor gain the gratitude of many disaster victims and local gentry and famous scholars in Kuaiji County. In recent years, the people of Kuaiji County have less resistance to the Qin Dynasty.
Especially after Jiang Heng was transferred to the position of Kuaiji County Magistrate, vigorously promoted the new agricultural tools and farming model according to Chen Xu's suggestion. In addition, after the emperor implemented the plan to eat away the lands of Lingnan, Gao Yong, with Jiang Heng's cooperation, summoned more than 3,000 rangers and idle gangsters from Kuaiji County to participate in the extermination of the southern Yue people of Fujian, the folk customs in Kuaiji County improved a lot. In addition, the implementation of this year's new commercial laws, with the significant reduction of commercial taxes and the permission of civilians to trade and sell freely.
Agricultural and sideline products and grain are also increasing year by year. Ordinary people have the potential to live. The resentment of dissatisfaction in the past has become increasingly dull. Therefore, after arriving in Wuzhong, walking in this big city that is no less than Wancheng, you can see the lively situation of dark skin but thinness but good mental state and complexion. There are many newly opened shopping malls and food houses on both sides of the street, and caravans coming and going with local accents to drive away cattle and horses.
This place is several times more lively and prosperous than Wancheng three years ago. Especially everyone I see is completely different from the sad mood before, full of passion and atmosphere of life.
"Wuzhong has changed a lot. When we visited our uncle last year, there were not so many merchants on the street!" Jiang Chuxing was full of emotion while walking in the endless crowd.
"This is a good thing. With a developed business, the goods on the market will naturally be more abundant, and the items people can choose will be more diverse!" Chen Xu said with a smile while looking around.
"Mr. Xu said that it is not only Wuzhong, but also Peixian County. This year, many shopping malls suddenly appeared, including porcelain, pottery, tea, tea, mulberry, salt, grain and cloth. There are several luxury gardens. Food houses and foot houses are open all over the streets. In the past, it was not easy to eat pasta, but now as long as you have money, you can eat and drink as you like..." Liu Bang continued on the side.
"Brother Liu is true. We have been living in Pei County for decades, but we have witnessed the changes in Pei County with our own eyes, especially in the past two or three years. Sometimes it seems like we are dreaming. All this is the credit of Qinghe Hou. If he had not invented new farm tools and farming methods, he had not invented steel, and he had not vigorously reformed and implemented new business laws, how could these timid merchants dare to operate so vigorously? Now even ordinary civilians can freely buy and sell aquatic products and food, which was unimaginable in the past!" Xiao He nodded and agreed.
"After more than two thousand miles, we passed more than ten counties and countless towns and villages, there was a prosperous situation everywhere. I really looked forward to seeing Qinghe Hou in Xianyang. Even if I only viewed from a distance, I would definitely be able to fulfill my wish. Everything that Qinghe Hou did was famous all over the world. I looked forward to it, and I was so excited!" Cao Shen's reverence was beyond words.
Jiang Chuxing couldn't help but glance at Chen Xu and said, "Cao Dianzhuo's wish will definitely come true."
