Today's commercial port has already developed into a behemoth.
Whether it is an upstream manufacturing factory, a businessman from out of town, or a small worker who wants to take advantage of the slack season to earn some change to supplement his family's purchase of wine, they can all make profits from the commercial port.
Relying on this commercial port alone, Ping'a County's financial revenue to the Hou Mansion has surpassed that of Quyang County.
This was still an era when the shipping industry was not developed... If the Grand Canal was built after the Sui and Tang Dynasties... then the trade volume of the commercial port would be even more amazing!
Xiong Wuliang couldn't help but have wild thoughts...
If our Chu State dominates the world in the future... I, the Marquis of Quyang, will definitely hold the Pingnan Sword in my hand, recruit farmers from all over the world, open the Grand Canal, and accomplish a great event that will last forever!
By the way... It seems that it is no longer a joke for our country, Chu, to dominate the world.
Our country, Chu, is getting stronger and stronger now. Now that I have the Pingnan Sword in my hand, I can use the Pingnan Sword to command the people of Chu in the future and use Qu Yuan to promote centralization reforms... By then, Chu will be completely powerful and will be able to dominate the world. What a dream!
Xiong Wuliang’s thoughts became aroused!
Every Chinese man has the ancestral gene flowing in his blood - the unification of mountains and rivers and the elimination of weapons.
To put it bluntly - instead of guarding against all the countries in the world day and night, fearing that they will disturb my happy retirement life...it's better to bite the bullet and wipe them all out in one go!
Otherwise, we, Xiong, may be old, and we may have to lead Quyang's disciples to fight in all directions, wiping the butt of our great Chu country...
Unify the world!
For lazy people like Xiong Wuliang, this is a once and for all solution...
Xiong Wuliang was immersed in a sweet dream, but he was suddenly awakened. He happened to see Ying Zhuo's contemptuous eyes and Si Yi's concerned eyes... Afterwards, he realized that he was so dazzled by the beautiful imagination that he had a smile on his face. With a hint of sparkling water...
So embarrassing!
Xiong Wuliang wiped the corner of his mouth and found that a sea of people had gathered around him at some point.
"This is our lord, Marquis Quyang!"
"The Marquis of Quyang who avenged Qin's shame!"
"Quyanghou Wansheng! Wansheng! Great Sima Wansheng!"
There were cheers, and the relatively spacious commercial port road was packed... In today's Chu State, especially in the four counties of Quyang Marquis, Xiong Wuliang is a well-deserved top star.
sensation! What a sensation!
Whether they are local people or merchants from other places, they are all flocking here now!
Everyone wanted to see what Qu Yanghou, who was praised as the 'God of War' by King Chu in public, looked like!
A pretty girl from a good family looked at Xiong Wuliang on the bronze carriage and found that he was actually a fair young gentleman... Their eyes were as bright as light bulbs. Looking at the posture, they wanted to rush up and eat Xiong Wuliang.
"Quyanghou! Is this Quyanghou? So handsome!" The young woman from a good family blushed.
"He is actually a handsome young man..." said the Huaichun girl.
There are also lively and free-spirited women who go straight to Jin Che and wink at him: "Sir... do you have any plans for the evening?"
"There is a small forest in the south of the city..."
Xiong Wuliang's forehead was sweating, looking at these crazy fans, he felt like Alexander.
During the Warring States Period, the defense between men and women was not as rigid as it was later.
Even on the street, there are ladies from aristocratic families who appear publicly... This is completely unimaginable in those dynasties that have been completely rigidized by the rigid Confucian etiquette.
In this era, it is very common for men and women to have sex, sing love songs to each other, and openly express their feelings to each other... Old Man Kong's Book of Songs contains many ballads about men's love and women's love.
"Sir! Come down and play!"
"Qu Yanghou! Look over here...who is more beautiful, me or my sister?"
There was also a bold and beautiful woman who openly took off the sachet purse from her waist and threw it at Xiong Wuliang's bronze chariot.
The soldiers in front of the car were sweating profusely as if they were facing a powerful enemy, and the hands holding their swords were trembling slightly... I didn't know for a moment whether they should follow the rules of the "Chu Law" and kill these bold "witches" with their swords. Chop into minced meat...
But judging from the expression on our little Junhou in the car...it doesn't seem to be necessary?
Xiong Wuliang stood up on the bronze chariot (this simple action caused a group of nymphomaniacs to exclaim), and then Xiong Wuliang smiled shyly and said to the fans: "It's easy to say! It's easy to say, everything is easy to say!"
Another round of cheers...
After returning from a trip to the commercial port, the car smelled fragrant... Xiong Wuliang smiled naturally, and Si Yi seemed to be laughing.
Only Ying Zhuo has complicated thoughts...could he be a little jealous? But this Xiong Wuliang is our enemy of Great Qin! As the princess of Da Qin, I should hate her to the core and wish I could eliminate thieves for my country... Where does this jealousy come from?
…
After returning to the mansion to rest for a while, I only had a piece of delicate pastry with flower petals for dinner - the weather was getting hotter and Xiong Wuliang had no appetite for food.
After finishing the meal, the craftsmen hurriedly came to see them: "Jun Hou, what you ordered to be made, the young men have already made!"
Xiong Wuliang was refreshed!
"Get it quickly!"
Several sets of shaped saddles were placed in front of Xiong Wuliang - the material was very simple, but the main materials were cloth and leather, and a very small amount of iron.
Xiong Wuliang circled An Qian for several times, and for a moment he didn't know how to start... Xiao Hei on the side was even more confused, and boldly asked: "Junhou, this is what you said 'can quickly improve Chu'" A human riding thing?"
No matter how you look at it, it looks like a pile of indescribable garbage!
Xiong Wuliang thought for a moment and then told Xiao Hei: "Bring the horse!"
"I want to test it myself!"
Xiao Hei was hesitant, but went to the stables and brought over a beautiful bay-red horse according to Xiong Wuliang's request... The horse was led in front of Xiong Wuliang. Xiong Wuliang commanded several soldiers, all at once. They put new saddles on their horses.
The bay-red horse twisted its body uneasily and snorted.
Xiong Wuliang coughed lightly and ordered to Xiao Hei: "Control the horse. I will get on the horse myself to see if this saddle is useful!"
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Hei was stunned!
Several other soldiers on the side were also stunned!
Who doesn’t know the level of our master’s riding skills?
Even if this bay-red horse is obediently standing still, our master is still able to sit firmly on the horse's back.
Judging from the master's eagerness to try, he seems to want to ride a bay-red horse for a few laps in the mansion?
Xiao Hei grabbed the reins of the maroon horse and tried his best to dissuade her: "Master, riding a horse is completely different from riding a chariot... If you fall off the horse, it's no joke."
"Heizi is willing to use his body to replace the master! Test this thing for the master! Please don't put yourself in danger!"
The soldiers on the side also exhorted: "Master, no!"
"The son of a rich man cannot sit down in court..."
"This subordinate is willing to test this thing on behalf of the master!"
…
Everyone's words not only expressed their disdain for Lao Shizi's "new saddle", but also revealed their great distrust of Xiong Wuliang's riding skills!
Xiong Wuliang put his hand on his forehead, helpless...
…
