The First Emperor's motorcade back to Xianyang moved very slowly. After a month's journey, the motorcade arrived at the boundary of Kuaiji County.
At this time, the weather had begun to get warmer, and many soldiers marched slowly up the mountain under the late spring sun, with beads of sweat dripping from their foreheads.
"Sir, the city of Kuaiji is ahead. We are going to search for big ice there."
Yang Duan and Cima came to Zhao Hao's carriage and reported in a low voice.
Zhao Hao opened the curtains, glanced at the Emperor's carriage behind him, and frowned: "My brother, are they ready? This is the first stop to test us, so don't make any mistakes!"
"Don't worry, young master. During this period, the three young masters have been practicing intensively, so there shouldn't be any problems. Of course, I have also informed Kuaiji County. Your Majesty does not like to be disturbed. I believe they can understand!" Yang Duanhe Gongshou Road.
"Well, okay. Then we will stay in the county for a few days and then set off for Xianyang."
Zhao Hao nodded and said nothing.
At this moment, there was a noise in the distance.
"Look! That seems to be His Majesty's motorcade. Your Majesty is back!"
"It's true, His Majesty is back!"
"That's right, that's the Black Dragon Flag, that's our Majesty's Black Dragon Flag!"
Hearing these noisy sounds, Yang Duanhe's face darkened and he was about to order those people to be arrested.
However, Zhao Hao quickly stopped him and said: "With so many of us appearing on the road and carrying the banner of my father, it is difficult not to be discovered. If they want to say something, let them say it. Don't worry about them. We will wait for you." I’ll go out and say hello and see who it is!”
"But."
Yang Duanhe hesitated to speak, as if he didn't want Zhao Hao to cause trouble.
However, Zhao Hao only smiled at him and got out of the carriage, letting Wu Ya drive the carriage away from the First Emperor's motorcade.
Not long after, he arrived in front of the group of spectators.
It turned out that these spectators were not ordinary people, but a group of caravans transporting goods. Because the convoy on their side was approaching fiercely, they wisely pushed the ox cart aside to make way for the convoy.
"Hello! Thank you for making way. Which trading company do you belong to?"
Zhao Hao coldly greeted the caravan members who were watching.
The caravan members were startled, quickly restrained their voices and took two steps back.
"Haha, you don't have to be afraid, I'm Young Master Hao, you should have heard of me!"
Zhao Hao smiled and waved to the caravan members.
All the caravan members looked at each other.
One of them, a dumb-looking young man, said loudly: "Are you really Young Master Hao?"
"Yes, it's true!"
"Hahaha!"
All the caravan members laughed loudly, thinking that there was no one who could replace the prince.
However, Zhao Hao is very approachable and very popular.
But I saw a caravan leader bowing and saluting: "Sir, we are from Baqing's Trading Company. We have come to Kuaiji County to deliver silk, satin, porcelain and some dry goods back to Xianyang!"
"Oh, from Ba Qing's Trading Company? That's still one of our own. Do I have shares in Ba Qing's Trading Company?"
"Hahaha, I don't know much about these things, but if you have any instructions, I am willing to serve you!"
"Okay." Zhao Hao nodded with a smile: "I will look for you whenever I need you!"
After saying that, he turned to look at the carriage of the First Emperor and said with a smile: "I should go back, otherwise my father will be angry later. You should work hard and don't let down the convenience given to you by the court!"
"Don't worry, young master, we will definitely do a good job!" The tough-headed young man responded loudly.
The rest of the caravan members also smiled and saluted Zhao Hao, and then watched Zhao Hao follow the First Emperor's motorcade. They were all so excited that they couldn't control themselves.
They never expected that they would meet the legendary Young Master Hao after traveling far away.
This is enough for them to brag in front of relatives and friends for a lifetime.
Even in the entire Da Qin Chamber of Commerce transportation team, no one can be as awesome as them.
"Master, what do you mean?"
When Zhao Hao's carriage returned to the queue, Yang Duanhe appeared next to his carriage again and asked him in a low voice why.
After all, what Zhao Hao did broke his original intention of returning to Xianyang in a low-key manner.
However, Zhao Hao smiled indifferently and said: "General Yang, I understand your thoughts, but have you ever heard of a saying: the bigger the wind and waves, the more expensive the fish;
The more we want to return to Xianyang smoothly, the more we need to let people know our itinerary, otherwise, it will be easy for others to figure out the clues if we are sneaky! "
"and."
As he spoke, his face straightened: "Have you forgotten what kind of person my father is? He has been upright and upright in his life, how can he hide his secrets when he goes out?"
"The assassination by the remnants of the Six Kingdoms back then didn't even make him change his schedule, let alone now!?"
"this"
Yang Duanhe was at a loss for words, not knowing how to respond. After a moment, he handed over his hands and retreated.
On the other side, inside Kuaiji City.
A few arrogant men walked together on the street with a government official, chatting with people from time to time.
And they were none other than Liu Bang and his party who had been hiding in Mangdang Mountain for more than half a year.
Originally they were angry when they came back from Yongcheng, but news came from Pei County that the county magistrate was hunting them down. They had no choice but to hide in Mangdang Mountain to survive.
Fortunately, Liu Bang was very popular, and he quickly became involved with the local wealthy households and mountain people without disclosing them.
After living like this for more than half a year, Liu Bang's little Yong Chi came to look for them, saying that the original magistrate of Peixian County had been transferred, and their wanted order was also revoked, and asked them to follow him to Kuaiji to join his seventh uncle. .
At the beginning, Liu Bang was reluctant to go, because now he has more than a hundred mountain people under his command. He can be a mountain king even if he is a bandit.
However, when Yong Chi saw that they were all as black and skinny as bamboo poles, he didn't want to hit them anymore, so he silently took out the newspapers of the past six months and read them to them.
When they heard about the recent changes in Da Qin, they were all stunned with disbelief on their faces.
It has only been a year, and Great Qin has become like this?
How can this be?
How did the violent Qin that everyone secretly cursed at the beginning become the motherland that everyone loves?
In fact, in order to control public opinion, Daqin's newspapers, following Zhao Hao's ideas, continued to publish some patriotic stories and advocated the concept of a motherland, so that the people of the Six Nations who originally cared about the Six Nations subtly accepted the current Daqin, and even made some People feel that the current Great Qin is many times better than the previous Six Kingdoms.
Moreover, those little stories that insinuated the royal families of the Six Kingdoms also made the people who were originally loyal to the Six Kingdoms even more disgusted with the remnants of the Six Kingdoms.
In this way, if the remnants of the Six Kingdoms want to cause trouble again, fewer and fewer people will blindly follow them.
Of course, this is just one of them.
Da Qin did a lot of work in unifying thought.
Especially in Xianyang Shaofu, the civilian products developed by the Academy of Sciences were no longer exclusively for the royal family, and various novel products began to be transported to various parts of the six countries through the caravans of major trading houses.
Coupled with the newly revised loose laws and the promotion of patriotic Confucianism, the people of the Six Kingdoms and the people of Qin are closely connected, making them feel that the current life is very different from the original life.
I don’t want to go back to the war-torn era.
In this way, Liu Bang and others were finally attracted by the outside world, and they bravely followed Yong Chi to the county seat of Kuaiji County.
Originally, Liu Bang and others were worried that Zhao Hao would send people to arrest them. However, after more than two months, there was no news of arresting them.
Only then did they realize how someone like themselves could be worthy of the prince's attention. Perhaps they had long forgotten that they were waiting for others, so they were just waiting for others to scare them.
In this way, Liu Bang and others passed through the days of fear and began to help his seventh uncle with the introduction of Yong Chi.
And his seventh uncle was also the county captain who had just been transferred to Kuaiji County.
Because he had to deal with a lot of chores every day and there was no one he could trust, he asked Yong Chi to find a few trustworthy people to run errands for him.
As a result, Liu Bang, a man with quick thinking and very trusted by Uncle Yongchi, returned to his old career and became a wanderer, specializing in patrolling places and arresting thieves.
It is a bit higher than the original position of pavilion chief.
"Store, three buns!"
Liu Bang was walking and saw a stall selling steamed buns on the side of the road, so he walked over.
"okay!"
The shopkeeper filled three steaming buns with lotus leaves and handed them to Liu Bang with a smile: "Master Liu, nine dollars in total!"
"Get lost!" Fan Kuai cursed fiercely: "When did Liu Saner pay for our meal?"
"."
Liu Bang kicked Fan Kuai and cursed: "Pay me!"
Fan Kuai said in disbelief: "Liu San'er, you never paid for meals before!"
Liu Bang raised his hand in shame and anger: "Are you looking for a slap? Pay up quickly!"
"oh."
Fan Kuai responded, took out the money and threw it to the shopkeeper. The copper coins were scattered all over the table.
Liu Bang hesitated to speak, but silently picked up the copper coins on the table, handed them to the shopkeeper, and left silently.
There are some rules that are useless to say, they can only be taught by words and deeds.
Xia Houying and others looked at each other in shock, wondering whether Liu Saner was possessed by evil spirits?
Liu Bang took a bite of the bun, his eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "The new things coming from Xianyang are really delicious. No wonder so many people want to go to Xianyang. There are more and more new things recently!"
"Yes, I heard that the recently popular candied haws on a stick seems to have come from Xianyang, and children especially like it."
"There is also something called soap, which makes your clothes clean and smells like flowers."
"The most outrageous salt! I didn't expect that we can also eat real salt, and the price is so cheap!"
"."
Hearing everyone talking about the recent changes, Liu Bang became more and more worried, and even the hot buns in his hands no longer smelled very good.
However, wherever he passed, people kept greeting him, mostly street vendors.
"Mr. Liu, morning!"
"Master Liu, are you out to relax again?"
"Mr. Liu, I heard that the new Yin Weicheng thinks highly of you. Do you need any help? Say hello?"
"."
As the sun got higher, Liu Bang and others walked through the West Street of Juncheng and came to the gate of the Juncheng Palace. They met Gu Si, a manager of a trading company.
"Master Liu, do you want some noodles?"
Liu Bang was surprised and said: "Aren't you working at Dongcheng Commercial Bank? Why did you open a noodle stall here?"
"Haha, this is my father's noodle stall. The old man is sick, so I will run the stall for him for two days."
Ah Si smiled nonchalantly and said, "This is a craft passed down from Xianyang. Do you want to try it, Mr. Liu San?"
“Do you have mutton noodles?”
"certainly!"
Liu Bang walked to the small stool in front of the noodle stall, and Yong Chi greeted him quickly: "Give us brothers a bowl, too. I'll treat you!"
"Oh." Fan Kuai tutted, "The iron ox actually pulled the plow?"
Xia Houying said in surprise: "Yong Chi, did you hit your head when you went out this morning?"
"."
also? Liu Bang shot an eye knife at Xia Houying, who immediately lowered his head and said nothing.
Yong Chi smiled happily and said, "Today is my seventh uncle's birthday. Although we can't go, my seventh uncle asked me to treat my brothers to something to eat. I thought, how about treating you to a bowl of longevity noodles?"
"Longevity noodles?"
Gu Si rubbed his face and was stunned for a moment, then muttered: "Then make it longer."
I saw Yong Chi put his hand into his crotch, took out a money bag, and carefully counted the money to Gu Si.
Zhou Bo on the side felt disgusted: "Yong Chi, why do you put money in your crotch?"
Yong Chi smiled obscenely: "There is no safer place in my body than my crotch."
"I can not stand you!"
"Hehe~~"
Not long after, Gu Si hummed an unknown tune and handed over the face.
While Liu Bang was eating noodles, several cart drivers waiting around were bragging.
"Did you hear about it? There was a person who died of serious injuries in the wild yesterday. The government went to verify it and found that he had been injured more than a dozen times by a sickle!"
"Yes, yes, I've heard about this too, and the man's clothes and shoes are all there, as well as the money he brought. The government said it was a vendetta!"
"What happened next? Was the murderer found?"
"No, he is said to be a scoundrel, but there is no evidence, and now it is an unsolved case!"
"An unsolved case? This can't be done. I heard that the recent censor's investigation was very tight, and it was accidentally published in the newspapers. The official responsible for this case may inevitably be impeached."
"."
A group of idle men were chatting. A man pushed a tricycle passing by. He found that there was an acquaintance among the men chatting, so he stopped the car and said excitedly: "Have you heard? His Majesty's convoy back to Xianyang is coming. "
"Really or not, you know all this?"
"I also heard from Ah Hu next door. When their business was bringing goods back to the city, they saw His Majesty's black dragon flag hanging on the motorcade. It must be true!"
"You dare to spread rumors about His Majesty, and he will die?"
A thin man said in surprise.
"I heard from him that Young Master Hao was also traveling with him. That Young Master Hao was approachable. He didn't tell them off and even greeted them cordially!"
"so good?"
"I heard that Gongzi Hao is very popular among the people in Xianyang. It seems that what he said is true."
"It would be great if I could see Young Master Hao with my own eyes. Thank you for bringing us a good life, otherwise we would still be building the Great Wall!"
“Who says it’s not?”
"."
When Liu Bang heard this, his heart moved, he turned to look at Yong Chi as if nothing had happened, and whispered: "When will your seventh uncle's birthday party end?"
"ah?"
Yong Chi was eating noodles when he suddenly heard Liu Bang ask this question. He couldn't help but was stunned for a moment and said vaguely: "I don't know, but it must not be too late, because the seventh uncle is used to going to bed early!"
"Then can you think of a way to let me see him?"
"This, this."
"From now on, I, Liu San'er, will make all your meat noodles!"
"The relationship is great! I'll ask later!" Yong Chi's eyes lit up and he nodded in agreement.
Liu Bang smiled and patted his shoulder. After eating, he stood up with a toothpick in his mouth. Regarding the murder scene outside the city, he planned to go and see it for himself.
