People knelt on the grassland, looked at the sky in the distance, and shouted: "The sky of immortality is above, the sky of immortality is above!" Lan Maodun got off his horse and knelt in the front, with his hands folded on the In front of his chest, there was a bit of solemnity, pride and pride in his expression: "I will live forever again."
"We will cherish the new grassland you gave us."
"This time, no one can snatch the new grassland away from our hands. We and the new grassland will definitely coexist and die together." It is impossible for the Xiongnu to retreat again and again. From Mao Dun's point of view, retreating to this west is already the end of the world. My final bottom line.
Only by speaking to the end and making the bottom line clear will people who have retreated to the West know that they have no way out.
These are the people who rule the world of Changsheng in the name of Changshengtian. The people of the Xiongnu looked at the high sky, with calmness and determination in their voices.
Then they also shouted: "Come to heaven again!"
"We will definitely live and die with the new grassland!" Endless shouts echoed in this grassland. The new grassland is very gentle, and a river flows slowly in the distance, leading into the distance.
The docile river cannot speak, but there is a powerful empire beyond the river. That powerful empire can speak, and the weapons in their hands speak louder than their mouths.
After Mao Dun saluted respectfully, he raised his head and looked in the distance. He seemed to see through the endless void a country standing on that distant land, a barbarian country.
Not long after the new Hun Empire was established, the test they were about to face was already coming. Lan...........On the endless stretch of seaside, a magnificent and great empire is standing here.
Their leader stood on the beach, looking at his own territory. The land and country here are not peaceful. As powerful as the Roman Empire, it also has its own enemies, such as Carthage, which also stands here, and the civilized Greek country.
Rome was not without enemies, but in Publius's eyes, he did not feel that Greece, which was too unorganized, would be his enemy and would hinder his progress.
He turned his head, with a hint of determination in his expression.
"Whether the Presbyterians agree or not, we must launch a war against Carthage, because we must judge Hannibal, otherwise we cannot make the rest of the people surrender." Lan
"The land and wealth in Rome's hands never came through commerce like Greece did."
"War is inevitable, we must move on." Publius's eyes flashed with the anger of a lion, and his voice was as heavy as thunder, with a little thunder in it.
The people around him listened to Publius's voice with equally cautious expressions on their faces. Only a few people had worries in their eyes. Can the Presbytery still stop this general?
Maybe it still can. .....In the late Qin Dynasty, Li Si in Xianyang City was sitting in the prime minister's office, thinking and revising the problems that appeared in Chen Ke's documents.
He did not modify Chen Ke's overall plan because he also felt that the plan was good. As long as this plan continued, Da Qin would definitely be able to conquer the distant Baiyue and obtain all the land there.
But in terms of some details, Li Si felt that what Chen Ke did was not good enough. Li Si discovered as early as two years ago that Chen Ke has just the right control over some overall situations. Many times the things he proposes are brand new and can improve the current difficulties or even solve problems.
But Chen Ke is not good at details, so Li Si is often tinkering with it silently.
While writing, Li Si laughed to himself: "When in my life have I ever been wronged like this and wanted to make up for others?" He curled his lips. Although his face was full of reluctance and he was full of complaints, he still The movements in his hands did not stop, and he was still patching up Chen Ke's plan.
After an hour, two hours, and a full two and a half hours passed, Li Si stopped revising and adding to the plan. While rubbing his eyes, he hammered his waist, feeling a little uncomfortable all over his body.
"Forget it, let's not do it."
"Let's go find Chen Ke for a meal." Li Si smiled: "You have to take advantage of the time you still have to teach Chen Ke so that he can modify these things himself."
"How many more years can I continue to work as a tinker for him?" Lan said with a hint of helplessness in his voice. In the prime minister's office, after Li Si left, Cao Shen looked at the official documents placed on the table, feeling a little helpless. In the end, he could only pick up the official documents and government affairs that were lying aside. He didn't know whether he left them on purpose or unintentionally.
"Why has the Prime Minister's memory deteriorated recently?"
"Every time, there are some official documents and government affairs left without processing." Cao Shen pressed his forehead, feeling that his workload was increasing day by day, and now he could even do the work of two or even three people by himself.
.....Xianyang City, surrounding states and counties. Lan Chenke had previously ordered people from Heibingtai to publicize the news about new coins. This was not only publicized in Xianyang City, but also throughout the country.
The first place to be radiated must be the areas around Xianyang City. With the deliberate cooperation of the local county guard, the news of the new currency spread widely, and far away from Xianyang City, the situation that Chen Ke wanted to see finally appeared.
Some people began to think about how the circulation of new coins would affect them. Among them, the ones who think the most are some businessmen and others.
..... There are not many merchants in the Sanchuan area of Sanchuan County, but there are more nobles who have been passed down.
After the Fan family headed by Fan Muye left, the most famous family here became the family named Zhu.
In the past, after Fan Li helped King Gou Jian of Yue successfully regain the country of Yue, he saw at a glance that Gou Jian, the King of Yue at that time, was a king who could endure hardships together, but could not enjoy pleasure together, so he retired early and avoided the consequences.
The situation of "when the birds are gone, the good bow is hidden; when the cunning rabbit dies, the lackeys are cooked". Later, Fan Li lived in seclusion among the people and did business. Later generations called him Tao Zhugong.
After the news spread, people from the Yue Kingdom went several times to find the descendants of Tao Zhugong, trying to persuade them to continue serving the king of the Yue Kingdom, and promised that the king of the Yue Kingdom would treat them well and would never be like themselves. Like our ancestors.
The descendants of Duke Tao and Zhu were overwhelmed by the disturbance, and they followed the orders left by their ancestors and stopped getting involved in this worldly struggle.
However, no matter what kind of family it is, it is impossible to be unified internally. When faced with the descendants of the King of Yue, Tao Zhugong's descendants were divided into two parts.
Some people in Lan were obsessed with fame and fortune, and wanted to follow the descendants of the King of Yue to re-establish the country of Yue, and then become marquises and prime ministers.
Some of them care less about fame and fortune, stick to the ancestral precepts left by their ancestors, and do not get involved in the battles between emperors. Therefore, the descendants of Tao Zhugong were divided into three parts, and some of them still had the surname
"Fan" followed the descendants of King Goujian of Yue to seek restoration of the country. The remaining people were divided into two parts and changed their surnames to
"Zhu",
"pottery".
The surname "Fan" inherited the art of war and other things written by Fan Li, and the two lines of Zhu and Tao inherited Tao Zhugong's business strategies and part of the family property respectively.
These three parts go to different places. Among them, the branch named Zhu came to Sanchuan County and settled in Sanchuan County. It has continued to this day. Even some people named Zhu here no longer remember the glory of their ancestors.
In the long courtyard of the Zhu Family Courtyard, Zhu Penglai looked solemnly at the clan elders sitting beside him, sighed and said: "Everyone, you should also know that although we forced the Fan Family away, But we’re not much better off.”
"Nowadays, rumors are flying all over the sky. They all say that the First Emperor wants to abolish Qin Banliang and forge new coins to show the majesty of the empire."
"What should we do?"
"Cooperate fully? Or..." Zhu Penglai did not finish his words. He just looked at the person sitting in front of him and sighed softly.
The expressions of a group of clan elders were also a little solemn and helpless: "New coins? How long can the new coins be used? What do the new coins look like?" Lan
"Qin Banliang has only been used for less than three years. His Majesty the First Emperor has already replaced it with new coins. Will he continue to replace them in the future?" An old man sitting on the far left slowly opened his eyes, his eyes filled with tears. Everything was exhausted: "We all know that we have no ability to compete with the imperial court, so all we can do is choose between more support and less support." A sharp light flashed in his eyes: "Now that we are at the end of the road, why not Give it a try?"
"That kid Fan Muye made a big deal and went to Penglai to look for Prime Minister Chen Ke. Later, it turned out that he made the right move. Today, the Chen family is considered a prominent family in Penglai."
"Fan Muye even served as the director of the Publishing Department."
"This position is only one or two levels lower than the county guard, and one level lower than the county magistrate." There was an unclear light in the old man's eyes: "What if we fully support His Majesty? Your Majesty doesn't care about our support. But if we buy horse bones for a thousand dollars, if we are the first to support His Majesty, then His Majesty will definitely reward us." Lan
"Even if it's just a reward of some ordinary things, with this thing as a backing, we can continue to develop steadily without having to worry about what Governor Sanchuan will do to us." Zhu Penglai also nodded slightly: "I That’s exactly what I thought, but I don’t know what you think, so I came to find you and want to hear what you think.” Everyone looked at each other and started to echo what the old man said before.
This seems to be the best and only way. Zhu Penglai nodded immediately: "In that case, I will ask the people below to prepare."
"If we don't do it, that's it. Once we do it, we must let His Majesty have an impression of us. We must do our best."
"In the past, Your Majesty was able to build Huaiqing Terrace for Ba Widow Qing to show that he attached great importance to the affairs of merchants. Why can't he reuse the Zhu family now?" Lan
"It should be noted that the Zhu family is also a family of merchants in the past, and is the descendant of Tao Zhu Gong."...... Chen Mansion When Li Si came to Chen Mansion, he saw that the people in the courtyard were a little stunned.
Because Wang Jian is already here. Wang Jian lay swaying in the rocking chair under the tree, feeling very uncomfortable, but Chen Ke's voice was not heard in the courtyard.
Li Si asked curiously: "Old General Wang, where is that boy Chen Ke?" Lan Wangjian opened his closed eyes slightly, looked at Li Si standing in front of him, and said with a smile: "It turns out to be Prime Minister Zuo. , I thought who was looking for Mr. Chen." He pointed to the recliner next to him and said, "Sit down, Mr. Chen is going to watch the cooking in person." Wang Jian yawned: "Over there, the official in Zhisu A batch of new spices were sent, saying that they were varieties grown in Daqin after research by farmers, so you don’t have to worry about not having enough spices in the future.”
"We can only supply a small amount now because this batch of spices has not yet fully matured. When it is gradually promoted later, maybe one day the spices can really be widely used, so that even poor people in Guizhou can afford them." Li Siye You're welcome, he took advantage of the situation and lay down on the recliner, looking relaxed.
"No matter how high the yield is, spices cannot become something that everyone can afford in a short period of time - it takes time to grow and promote something."
"Even if His Majesty gives a strong order to promote planting, the growth of spices will still take time." He shook the recliner under him, which made a squeaking sound.
"Zhizhi——"
"But..." Li Si said with emotion: "Boy Chen and Feng Jie have indeed done good things, especially Feng Jie, who was able to bring back the seeds of spices from the Western Regions, which saved Da Qin from being stuck with spices in the Western Regions. , broken throat."
"If we don't rely on these things, then the Western Regions will have no constraints on Great Qin." He yawned and said, "Yawn——"
"When will Mr. Chen be ready? We have already said what we will eat tonight." He touched his stomach and said, "I'm already a little hungry." As he said that, Li Si seemed to have remembered something and pulled something out of his sleeve. A document came out and was handed to Wang Jian beside him.
"Old General, take a look. This is Chen Ke's plan to attack Baiyue."
"The attack on Baiyue mentioned in the book is actually more like attacking the land of East Vietnam, completely taking the coastal part into one's pocket, and then using this as a basis to dominate the world."
"What do you think?" Wang Jian smacked his lips and looked at the document in his hand carefully: "I think it's pretty good, but I'm just asking Zhang Han and Zhao Tuo to go. I'm afraid I won't be able to win them, so why not let me do the math? It's over." He looked at the mountains and rivers in the distance: "After all, I am familiar with destroying a country." Listening to Wang Jian's somewhat proud words, Lan Lisi couldn't help laughing for a moment.
He looked at Wang Jian's eyes and immediately explained: "Old General, if you want to attack Baiyue, just say so. Why use Generals Zhao Tuo and Zhang Han as excuses?"
"Your Majesty will not stop you from going to Baiyue, right?" Wang Jian shook his head, and when he was about to say something, an unusual fragrance came from the distance.
Then there was a voice.
"time to eat!"
