Chapter 249 Publicize it
In Xiyang, Huangzhou, there are thousands of people everywhere, men, women, young and old clustered on both sides of the south road in the city, crowding the soldiers who lined up to maintain order, and although the soldiers kept shouting "Don't squeeze", they still couldn't stop the enthusiasm of the people.
Today is an amazing day. The emperor moved from Anlu to Xiyang. The people of Xiyang were very excited when they heard the news. Everyone was waiting to share the "dragon spirit". Seeing how majestic the emperor's ceremonial guard was, there was also a lot of talk after returning home.
Xiyang has a prosperous industry and merchants gathered. In addition to local people, there are many foreigners living here temporarily. Therefore, among the crowd watching the fun, many people speak various foreign accents and dialects are very lively.
In Xiyang, people from other places are basically all the people who are doing business or landless in various prefectures and counties who come to make a living. Now it is "working hours". Those who "work" in various workshops and breeding farms cannot be absent from work and watch the fun.
Therefore, most of the outsiders present were mocked as "referring to righteousness over parting". They were traveling around all year round, with much better knowledge than ordinary people, and more informed than ordinary people.
Now the situation in the Zhou Dynasty is in chaos, and the Yuwen family and the Yuchi family break up. Many people in Shannan still don’t know what’s going on, but the merchants are very clear about it and understand very well. The situation is chaotic and the war is spreading. If the merchants who travel around the world do not understand the situation, it is easy for them to lose both people and goods.
For merchants from all over the world, the emperor's arrival in Xiyang is an extraordinary event, which means that in addition to initially resisting the Yuchi attack in military terms, the Yuwen family also won a political game.
According to previous news, the emperor was said to have been "sincerely assassinated and seriously injured" in Yecheng and became the "Last Emperor". However, he was met by the King of Xiyang in Xuanhu and came to Shannan. In this way, the father and son of King Qi were spared from the reputation of "killing the monarch", and this reputation was borne by the Prime Minister and King Shu Yuchi Dun.
Of course, it is still a bit different whether the emperor who came to Xiyang today is really. The knowledgeable businessmen will not easily be misled by rumors, but they also know that since this emperor dares to inspect Xiyang with such a big fanfare, it means that the possibility of being a real person is quite high.
Because in Xiyang, there are so many people who have seen the True Dragon Emperor.
Not to mention anything else, Huangzhou Prefecture School is now becoming more and more famous, with famous scholars and well-educated scholars gathered. Many of them had held literary positions in the court before and had met the emperor.
For example, the "Two Lius" who taught in the state school. Before coming to Xiyang, Liu Zhuo served as an assistant teacher in the Imperial Academy in Yecheng, so he naturally met the emperor. There are other famous scholars and great scholars with similar experiences. Most of them met the emperor when they were in Yecheng.
Scholars always have a sense of arrogance. If the emperor who came to Xiyang today was a fake, perhaps some of these great scholars would not dare to say anything, but some would also expose their lies on the spot. Therefore, the emperor who dared to come to Xiyang was not "a guilty person".
Most businessmen in Xiyang can understand that if the emperor is true, then the Yuwen family will stabilize Guanzhong and the people in Shannan will have a great possibility, so the possibility of Zhou splitting into East and West Zhou is also very likely, which means new business opportunities.
Cloths (dyed cloth), soaps, glass products, white porcelain, and books produced in Xiyang, Huangzhou have been sold everywhere, and have even become well-known in Yecheng. This will not end because of the split of the Zhou Kingdom. Instead, due to the confrontation between the east and west, the goods in Huangzhou are "strange goods" in the east.
Just a few days ago, a team of grain ships came from the upstream and passed through Xiyang and headed downstream. The inside information about the fleet quickly spread throughout Xiyang. Everyone could understand that this was the envoy of Chen State who brought the grain from Shannan back to Jiankang, and the envoy of Zhou State (Yuwen Family) was also accompanied by the envoy.
The two countries make peace and fight together against the Yuchi family, which is very likely to become a reality.
That means that the trade route between the middle reaches and the lower reaches of the Yangtze River has been unblocked again!
When doing business, merchants rely on low entry and high entry, they can make a difference in price with goods. To achieve this, they need to be well-informed and well-informed. The merchants in Xiyang are extremely grateful that they are in the city at this time.
Such important news is enough for them to make arrangements in advance. Of course, they have to find ways to raise more funds and hurry to various workshops to purchase goods. If they are too late, they will be taken advantage of.
Some people's minds were quickly turned and realized the intention of the emperor coming to Xiyang: to let the scholars and merchants gathered in Xiyang spread the news that the orthodox emperor came to Shannan to all directions.
This is called "information".
......
At the south wharf of Xiyang City, civil and military officials of the Huangzhou General Administration Office, the main officials of each state under the jurisdiction gather here, taking the line in sequence according to the size of the official ranks, setting out the most solemn show to welcome the emperor who was about to arrive in Xiyang.
The emperor took the waterway. The emperor boarded the ship at Anlu, entered the Yangtze River through the river and then arrived downstream to Xiyang. Therefore, the officials welcomed the emperor at the dock on the riverside of the south of the city. All the matters that the city received were ready, and they were waiting to pick up people.
When the emperor went on a patrol, the show was naturally not small. Not to mention the Shangshu Ling of the Shannan Road Daxing, there were many entourages such as imperial guards, guards, and other entourages, as well as ceremonial guards and peripheral guards. The scale of thousands of people was not easy to receive.
If it were the devastating Xiyang seven or eight years ago, it would have been difficult to receive the emperor's emperor's emperor. However, today, Xiyang has undergone earth-shaking changes and its financial resources are increasing every year. Even if the palace is temporarily arranged, it can be arranged magnificently with the power of a state.
When he thought of this, Huang Prefect General Shi Hao and Wu were heartbroken.
It is true that the income of Huangzhou Prefecture warehouses is increasing significantly every year, but they spend a lot of money, not to mention that there have been large-scale expenses everywhere this year and there are wars. Seeing that the money, grain and cloth from the warehouse are transported in not long after, Hao Wu, who was already busy, was already in a daze.
Spending money is like flowing water, spending money is like flowing water!
As the person in charge, Hao Wubo was like a shopkeeper who helped his boss settle accounts. Seeing the large amount of money and grain flowing in his hands, he was already a little dazed and even numb. He never thought that he would have the opportunity to master such a huge "financial cash flow" at a young age.
"Chief Shi?"
"Um?"
"The imperial boat is docked."
"oh..."
Sima Yuwen Shiwu of Huangzhou, who was standing beside him reminded the distracted Hao Wu Bo. At this time, the imperial boat that the emperor was riding had already landed. Everyone bowed to the emperor later. At that time, the distracted Hao Wu Bo stood alone, which was extremely rude.
There are naturally some people who arrange and direct the relevant etiquette of the carriage. Everyone just needs to follow the process that has been informed in advance. If anyone makes a fool of himself, he will be really a fool of himself.
After the pedal was set, the guards came to the formation. Yu Wen Qiankeng, dressed in the crown of the emperor, accompanied by Ling Yu Wenming, the minister of the Daxingtai of Shannan Road, climbed the dock with his head held high and his chest.
All the civil and military officials present shouted long live and saluted the young emperor. The scene was very grand, which made many young officials so excited that they could hardly be able to do so.
Yuwen Gankeng talked with the main officials of Yingjia for a moment and walked towards the prepared imperial chariot. When he was about to board the car, he stopped for some reason. The officials of Yingjia thought that something had happened to the imperial chariot. When they were so scared that they sweated on their foreheads, they heard the emperor's question:
"Can this imperial chariot remove the ceiling and curtain?"
As soon as this sentence came out, the officials present were a little overwhelmed. Yu Wenming, who was standing beside him, asked: "Your Majesty, if there is no ceiling and curtain, it may be inappropriate. Once there are traitors who are mixed in the crowd..."
"This is Xiyang City under the rule of King Xiyang." Yuwen Gankeng first faced Yu Wenming, and then turned to the officials in front of him, "I don't think there will be traitors in the city."
Hearing this request, the officials looked at each other. Seeing Yu Wenming nodding, they quickly ran to the imperial chariot and demolished the ceiling. Not long after, the imperial chariot that was originally magnificent as a moving palace turned into a flat-panel carriage.
Yuwen Gankeng climbed the carriage and stood on the railing. Yu Wenming quickly boarded the carriage and stood behind the emperor as a guard to prevent accidents. The left and right Xiaogong Boyu and Liu Jushi led the guards to follow the imperial chariot, followed by the civil and military officials who were welcomed, and they all walked.
The south gate of Xiyang City slowly opened, and the ready-made guard of honor advanced to the city. The people watching the excitement on both sides of the street instantly calmed down, staring at the imperial chariot in the guard of honor.
At the beginning, they were looking at the legendary imperial chariot inlaid with gold and jade. Unexpectedly, the imperial chariot was like a flat carriage, and the young man standing on the carriage and standing on the railing was high-sounding. Could it be...
I don’t know who shouted “Long live the emperor”, and then everyone shouted, and seeing someone kneeling on the ground and kowtowed, the people on both sides of the street also kowtowed. Even the soldiers who lined up to maintain order in human walls put down their weapons and kowtowed towards the imperial chariot.
Countless people shouted "Long live the emperor", and the sounds surged like a tide. Yuwen Gankeng, who stood on the railing, looked at the scene in front of him, and was very excited. This was the glory that the emperor should have enjoyed. He had experienced it once in Anlu, but at this moment he was particularly excited.
Xiyang, Huangzhou, is a place under the rule of the King of Xiyang. All industries are prosperous and merchants gather. The emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty is coming, so there is no need to hide his head and reveal his tail!
