Shanyuguan.
After Xiao Yuan arrived here, all the generals in the pass naturally hurriedly came out to greet him, and then they all knelt down on one knee and saluted with clasped fists.
"Welcome the King"
Everyone shouted in unison, and guard Wang Lin even said with red eyes: "My king, I miss you..."
When Xiao Yuan went on an expedition and was away from home, Wang Lin felt like he had lost his backbone. Shanyuguan was attacked several times by the Chu army, which put great pressure. Now that he saw the king, one can imagine his mood.
"Okay, okay, all the generals, please get up quickly." Xiao Yuanwen waved his hand.
"Your Majesty, please." People stood up and naturally gave way.
After entering the pass surrounded by generals, the soldiers who followed him on the expedition had a feeling of going home for no reason. They felt at ease and at the same time felt a little more excited.
Xiao Yuan also felt this way. After walking to the top of the city, there were still various traces left after the war on the city defense.
After looking around for a week, he also looked at Wang Lin: "In this battle, we defeated the Chu army and defended the country. The general's contribution is indispensable."
When Wang Lin heard this, he quickly returned: "The ministers are frightened. It's all because the king pays attention to the battle preparations at Shanyu Pass. In addition, if General Nie Xing doesn't arrive in time to support, the situation will be dangerous."
Xiao Yuan looked at Nie Xing again and said: "Of course, General Nie has been receiving the highest orders. He has been transferred here and there. His troops have traveled thousands of miles and traveled back and forth. He has successfully involved the enemy forces everywhere. The same credit goes to Qin!"
"Wei Chen is scared." Nie Xing also hurriedly clasped his fists and bent down.
Just as he was talking, a large group of people suddenly appeared outside the pass, and a soldier hurried up to the city defense, knelt down on one knee and said:
"Your Majesty, there is a situation!"
"Who's knocking on the door?" Xiao Yuan asked directly.
"It seems, it seems to be a caravan." The soldier returned.
"Oh?" Xiao Yuan was slightly surprised when he heard this. You know, the battle at Shanyuguan has just passed not long ago!
Out of curiosity, he also asked the generals to go down, intending to see for himself.
Not long after, everyone had arrived at the city gate. This was indeed a caravan. The leading steward was negotiating with the Qin army's young general.
After a conversation, the young general also took a document, walked quickly to Xiao Yuan, and respectfully handed it over: "Your Majesty, their general document."
"Yes." Xiao Yuan took it, glanced at it briefly, and handed it back: "Since they are serious businessmen, let them in."
"No!" the young general responded, and then began to greet the soldiers and inspect the goods.
This is equivalent to a national gateway, and these are also necessary procedures.
The caravan steward had long been used to it. While accepting the inspection happily, he also walked towards Xiao Yuan, put on a smile, raised his hands and saluted:
"I have met this gentleman."
Because Xiao Yuan was dressed in casual clothes, of course he didn't know his identity, but when Wang Lin heard this, he immediately said: "Bold! This is my king! You are not polite!"
"Huh?" The businessman was startled, then realized what he was doing, and hurriedly knelt down: "Oh, it turns out to be His Highness the King of Qin. This little guy is so blind that he cannot see Mount Tai. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
No matter how rich he is, he is still a citizen. When he sees the king, it is normal for him to kneel down and pay homage.
Xiao Yuan waved his hand: "Mr. Wang, there is no need to be polite."
His name was mentioned in the previous customs clearance documents.
"Thank you, Your Highness." The merchant stood up tremblingly, not expecting to meet King Qin here.
Xiao Yuan smiled, pointed to the caravan not far away, and asked curiously: "How dare Mr. Wang do business here at such a juncture?"
The merchant said: "I dare not hide it from you, Your Highness. I heard that the war is over and Shanyu Pass has been locked up for several months. Goods cannot circulate and must be scarce. I predict that I will make a lot of money when I go to Qinzhou this time." "
"And Your Highness, ordered the king to lead the army to go out. In the war, you pay attention to a fighter opportunity. The same is true for you. You need to find some business opportunities. Shopping malls are like battlefields."
"That makes sense." Xiao Yuan was amused by him.
As soon as the topic opened, the merchant became talkative, and said: "I have been doing business in the lower reaches for many years, and there is a lot of movement between countries. In the final analysis, Qin is convenient and safe. In Qin, I don't have to worry about my goods being robbed, and I don't have to worry about my goods being robbed." If you are worried about sudden tax increases, you can do business boldly with confidence, which is why I entered Qin as soon as the war ended."
After hearing what he said, Xiao Yuan was delighted: "Mr. Wang's words are the greatest affirmation of our country of Qin. I thank you very much."
"Oh, no, no, I'm just telling the truth." The businessman said quickly.
After talking to the businessman, the other party also bowed and went to pack the goods.
Xiao Yuan was really happy because he thought of the time when he first came to Qin as the prefect.
Some merchants said that they would never dare to do business in Qin again.
Today, there have been qualitative changes.
"Business and people's livelihood, money, food and taxes, these are all the work of the Prime Minister..."
He sighed slightly, then looked at Wang Lin and said: "Starting from tomorrow, commercial customs clearance will be resumed. In addition, all the wine and meat reserved by our army will be taken out to reward the three armies."
"No!" Wang Lin responded immediately.
After staying in Shanyuguan, Xiao Yuan finally returned to Qinzhou after several days.
At this time, the scene at the east gate of Qinzhou was huge. All the civil and military officials of the Qin State were present, and countless people were watching and cheering. There were countless soldiers on both sides, using their halberds as railings, struggling to maintain order.
Looking around, directly in front, there are people wearing official uniforms.
When they saw Xiao Yuan, all the civil and military officials knelt on the ground and shouted in unison:
"Welcome the king back to the capital"
"Everyone is safe." Xiao Yuan stood on the war horse and waved his hand casually.
"Thank you, Your Majesty" people shouted again.
After standing up, before saying anything, Ding Rong was the first to trot forward, nodded and bowed, and took the reins of Xiao Yuan's horse with a shy face.
Regarding his flattery, Xiao Yuan had no choice but to say: "Master Ding, our ministers are not like this."
"Yes, yes, it is a lifelong honor for a humble minister to be able to lead the king's horse." Although Ding Rong responded, he had no intention of letting go of the reins.
This is a complete villain.
When the ministers saw this, they couldn't help but look at each other.
Liu Changqing even sneered in front of Xiao Yuan, but did not dare to say anything.
Xiao Yuan saw all this in his eyes and felt like a mirror in his heart, but he said nothing and the team began to enter Qinzhou.
As soon as he returned to Prince Qin's Mansion, he sent the ministers away first and went to the courtyard where Gu Xue was.
"Husband..." The latter was still so gentle and touching, and her eyes were obviously filled with tears because of her longing.
Xiao Yuan quickly stepped forward and picked her up without saying a word.
"Ah, husband..." Caught off guard, Gu Xue couldn't help but exclaimed. She, who had so many love words to say just now, was now blushing.
Because there are many maids around.
When people saw this, they quickly lowered their heads and looked at their toes.
Xiao Yuan laughed heartily, saying it was better to have his own wife.
