Chapter 50 Western Regions

Qin Yiren took the wine jar and shouted: "Brothers..."

The Qin soldiers who were drinking water and feeding horses quickly raised their heads and looked at Qin Yiren. Everyone's eyes were shining. They knew that Qin Yiren must have something to say.

The soldiers loved Qin Yiren from the bottom of their hearts because Qin Yiren never disappointed them and led them to win one battle after another.

For an army, what can inspire morale is not the strict military discipline, the excellent equipment, nor the empty slogan, but the victory! Victory one after another will inevitably make the army's morale high and the fighting spirit is fierce.

Qin Yiren is such a commander, and it is impossible for the soldiers to not love him.

"... Since we left Jiuyuan County to fight westward, we have fought many beautiful battles. We have killed countless alien races and seized countless times. I am very pleased! Be proud of you!" Qin Yiren's eyes flashed, and his voice turned high, saying, "But we have suffered a lot along the way to the westward expedition. We have no time to rest or camp. We are apart from marching and fighting, and there are very few rest time. Here, there is half a jar of phoenix wine from Daqin. I will invite you to drink it together!"

"Drinking hard? Is half a jar of wine enough?"

"This is not enough to quench my thirst."

"Young Master is so funny."

The Qin soldiers heard this and shook their heads secretly, disagreed.

Who can drink a mere half a jar of wine? The soldiers are good at drinking, which is a common problem in the army. This little wine is not enough for people to get stuck in their teeth.

Just as the soldiers were secretly discussing, Qin Yiren fell down at Jinquan with the wine jar.

"Wow!" The cold wine slurry hit the river, making a crisp sound, splashing a lot of water.

"Brothers: Drink it!" Qin Yiren threw the wine jar and squatted down.

"Thank you, Young Master!" Just half a jar of wine is nothing. However, Qin Yiren did not enjoy it alone, but drank it with the soldiers. No matter how much praise it was, the soldiers were very moved and thanked Qin Yiren in unison.

The soldiers squatted to the shore, held the river water with their hands and drank it in big mouthfuls, and from time to time they praised or laughed a few words. For a while, laughter and joy continued.

Until they had enough drinks, the soldiers stood up and looked at Qin Yiren, with admiration in their eyes.

"Young Master, Jin Quan has to change his name, so you can't call him Jin Quan anymore." Zhu Hai stroked his forehead and said to Qin Yiren.

"Change your name? What's the name?" Qin Yiren was very surprised.

Qin Yiren poured the wine into the golden spring and drank it with the soldiers. This was to inspire the morale of the army. Although he advanced westward, he won many victories and had a great harvest, the soldiers worked very hard, and it was very necessary to take this opportunity to inspire the morale of the army.

"Just call it Jiuquan." Zhu Hai thought for a while.

"Jiuquan?" Qin Yiren almost fell into the river.

Jiuquan is a place that Chinese people know.

"Yes. The young master and his brothers drink together, so let's call Jiuquan." Zhu Hai affirmed.

"This is a good name!" The nearby Qin soldiers heard it and agreed loudly.

"Jiuquan is Jiuquan." Qin Yiren was surprised again when he suddenly thought of the origin of the name Jiuquan.

How did Jiuquan come from? There is a historical story about Huo Qubing.

Jiuquan was originally named Jinquan, which was a famous river in the Hexi Corridor. Huo Qubing led his army to the west to attack the Hexi Corridor, and when he reached Jinquan, he poured the little left in Jinquan and drank with the soldiers. From then on, Jinquan was renamed Jiuquan.

"Coincidence, coincidence." Qin Yiren just wanted to inspire the morale of the army, but did not think about leaving any allusions. He actually changed Jin Quan's name, which is exactly the same as Huo Qubing's allusion.

"Set out!" After a while, Qin Yiren gave the order, and the Qin army embarked on the journey again.

"Dingdang! Dingdang!" The sound of the camel ringing was crisp and beautiful, and it came from afar, forming a beautiful song.

A team of merchants rode camels and headed towards the east.

During the Warring States Period, business had already formed a scale, and famous merchants such as Tian Dan, Qing Madam, and Lv Buwei appeared. At that time, the Qing Madam, the Yidun clan of Chu, the Bai clan of Wei, the Zhuo clan of Zhao, and the Tian clan of Qi were the five major merchants in the world. The accumulated wealth was extremely strong and it can be said that they were as rich as the country.

There are several businesses in the world who are rich and powerful, and can call the wind and rain, and they must get the wind and rain.

In addition to these big merchants, there is another type of merchant, that is, merchants. The so-called merchants are to take goods around the world and sell them everywhere.

This type of businessman has low income and hard life. It can be said that he is sleeping in the open and not much different from the ascetic. However, in this great battle era of the Warring States Period, it is already a very happy thing to have a bowl of rice and make money.

The most famous one in business is Su Qin's father. Su Qin was originally from Luoyang. His father started his business as a businessman. His business became bigger and bigger, and he became a wealthy family in Luoyang. It was precisely because the Su family had accumulated a considerable family business that Su Qin decided to go to Qin to seek official positions after he finished his studies. His father prepared a high carriage and horse for him, and group of servants rushed into Qin.

Of course, Su Qin did not get the appreciation of King Huiwen of Qin this time. Sha Yu returned and finally had to beg home. When he returned to his hometown in Luoyang, he was no different from beggars. Groups of servants disappeared, tall cars and big horses were gone, gorgeous robes and shirts were gone, and some were just poor.

The number of people in this team was not too large, with more than 30 people in total, but they drove hundreds of camels and carried a lot of goods.

The leader of the Shangshang was Shao Yun, who was a middle-aged man in his thirties. He was tall and bright in his eyes. He could tell that he was a smart person at a glance.

"Brother Shao, this time we returned to the Central Plains, we brought a lot of goods and we will make a lot of money." A middle-aged man rode a camel and walked side by side with Shao Yun, saying: "When we sell the goods, it will be the end of the year, and we can have a good New Year."

"Oh." Shao Yun sighed lightly and said, "There are many good things in the Western Regions, including Kunshan jade, sweat-blooded BMW, pomegranate, and grapes. They are all things that are not good in the Central Plains, but they dare not buy too much."

"Yes." The middle-aged man focused his head with a look of regret. He said: "The Central Plains go to the Western Regions. It is thousands of miles away. The road is not easy. In addition, there are many aliens in Hexi, and these damn aliens are insatiable. If we buy too many good goods, they will kill people and seize treasures."

The reason why the Silk Road is famous throughout the ages is not only because the Silk Road connects China and ancient Rome, but because the Silk Road is a golden business road. This business road is full of business opportunities. As long as it is safe, you can make a fortune.

The problem is that there are foreign races such as Xiu Tu, Hunxie, Loulan, Loufan, and Linhu in the Hexi Corridor. These foreign races are very greedy. If they find that the goods brought by merchants are too valuable, they will kill people and grab treasure without hesitation. This will greatly limit the development of the Silk Road.

"If..." Shao Yun didn't finish a word, he just shook his head and looked regretful.

"Brother Shao, do you mean that if the Central Plains can send troops and defeat the alien races in Hexi, we will have a good life?" The middle-aged man also shook his head. He said with great regret: "All merchants walking on this business road think so. It's a pity that the Central Plains are divided into pieces and the corpses are piled up like mountains and blood flows into rivers. How can they have the spare energy to fight the Hexi land?"

The "Silk Road" has immeasurable value. If the Central Plains can eliminate the alien races here, the extraordinary value of its gold trade route will be reflected.

As we all know, Zhang Qian opened the Silk Road and opened up the Silk Road. Why is this?

It was not that Zhang Qian had no one to do business in the Western Regions before. On the contrary, there were still many people who went to do business in the Western Regions. It was just because there were foreign races in Hexi that greatly hindered the development of business. It was not until Emperor Wu of Han sent Huo Qubing to open up the Hexi Corridor that the public security situation here improved greatly, and the "Silk Road" flourished.

In modern terms, Zhang Qian's mission to the Western Regions was "the first time that Chinese officials fully understood the situation in the Western Regions", rather than only starting from Zhang Qian, they knew that there was the Western Regions. Before that, merchants had already entered the Western Regions and engaged in business.

"We finally arrived at Xiao Fangpan." Shao Yun raised his eyebrows and was very excited, saying, "Brothers, work harder. We have arrived in Hexi and will soon return to the Central Plains."

"We're in Hexi!" A cheer sounded, and the Shangshang University was happy.

The group entered the small square plate land and officially set foot in Hexi and left the Western Regions. However, they were shocked as soon as they stepped on the small square plate land.

"That's... a military camp?"

"Is it the Qin army's military camp?"

"No way? Am I dazzled? Why are you pinching me?"

"Didn't you say you're dazzled? I'm going to give you a reminder."

The crowd stared at the military camp ahead, looking at the ghost, looking in disbelief.

"It's really the Qin army's barracks. Look, it's a black flag, and the word "Qin" on it is so majestic." Someone raised his voice and screamed loudly, even happier than discovering the New World.

"It's really the Qin army!"

"Why did the Qin army come here?"

"Do you care how he came here. As long as the Qin army comes here, we will be blessed!"

"Yes. When the Qin army arrived here, it means that the alien races in the Hexi land had been scattered by the Qin army. In the future, if we take this path again, we don't have to worry about being robbed by the alien race."

For these businessmen who have had enough of the alien table tennis team, the Qin army fought here is a great blessing and the best news they have received in their lives.

With the backing of the powerful Qin army, they no longer have to worry about doing business in the future. They can transport more goods and earn more. They will not be able to be happy.

"Dede!" Suddenly, a rapid sound of hooves sounded, and a team of Qin troops rushed over.

"I've met the Qin army." Shao Yun and the others hurriedly greeted the Qin army.

"You are traveling merchants who have returned from the Western Regions, aren't you?" asked the leader of the Qin army.

"Yes, we just returned from the Western Regions." Shao Yun hurriedly smiled and focused his attention.

"You are very familiar with the Western Regions?" the leader of the Qin army asked again.

"Familiar? We went to and from the Western Regions many times, and were very familiar with the Western Regions." Although Shao Yun was not sure why the leader of the Qin army asked this, he still hurriedly answered.
