The common man became angry and blood spattered five steps forward.

The emperor was so angry that he bled thousands of miles.

The state machinery of Da Qin was rumbling.

The unified mobilization and recruitment order quickly spread throughout the counties under the rule of the Qin State. When they heard and saw the proclamation to conquer the Han Dynasty, the Qin army was filled with excitement.

If you want to ask the people of Qin which prince they hate the most, the answer a year ago is completely different from the answer a year later. Xiang Yu, who defeated the main force of the Qin army at Zhangshui Jiyuan, was once far ahead, but now, his ranking has been

Dropped to second place.

Liu Bang's gangster-like constant provocations finally made Li Yuan angry. The bullshit Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty was, at best, just a pavilion chief whose skin was thicker than the city wall.

I occupy your city, kill your people, and steal your money and food. What can you do? If you can't defeat me, you will send assassins to kill you. What is this if not a gangster style?

Li Yuan is not Xiang Yu. He talks about the behavior of a gentleman and does not kill women and children. He also has to take into account his reputation among the princes. In the hearts of the princes of Guandong, Li Yuan's reputation is probably equivalent to that of a murderous devil. There is no need to clear his name.

, and for the Qin State, if one of the princes dies, one will be missing, and if a pair of princes die, a pair will be missing, so it is best to be defeated one by one.

In front of various instruments of torture in Tingwei Mansion, Li Cang confessed everything. Later, after telling the truth, Li Cang was unceremoniously beheaded by Li Yuan, who had once served as the Prime Minister of Changsha in the Western Han Dynasty.

, and the guy who married the little beauty Xin Zhui died a cowardly death.

Who is Li Cang?

Li Yuan didn't think much about it. As for future love rivals, there was no way to talk about it. Time and space were different, and the fate of the characters was completely different.

Xin Zhui is only sixteen years old.

At the same age as the blooming season, girls at this age need to be protected and cared for. Li Yuan, who is already the most powerful person in Qin, is worthy of this important task.

Li Cang's head was hung directly on the tower in Xianyang. It withstood the wind and sun, with thousands of people looking up to it, and withstanding pointing fingers, becoming a symbol of frightening young people. And when the merchants coming and going looked up and saw a dried head

When he was killed, his fear of Qin would become greater and greater, and he would become less and less obedient to the orders of the princes.

After Li Yuan came to power, Qin's attitude towards commerce also underwent structural changes.

East and West blend.

Barter.

This is a characteristic of this era, especially at the dangerous moment when the Hexi trade route was about to be cut off by the Huns. The profits from this kind of trade under huge risks were even greater.

The Linjiang area is located in the hinterland of the Chu State and is covered with dense water and swamps. It is very suitable for sericulture and silkworm cultivation. Silk is an oriental fabric that is most favored by Hu merchants from the Western Regions. This is a trading method for Eastern and Western merchants to achieve delivery in the Guanzhong area.

As Qin prospered with its increasingly open national policy, and the situation in Guanzhong became increasingly stable, merchants gradually began to confidently and boldly purchase houses and assets in Qin for long-term residence.

Businessmen pursue profits.

In their eyes, the concept of country is actually very weak, unlike some descendants of the six royal families who think they are superior and have noble blood. They insist on clinging to the idea of ​​restoring the country to the end.

The people are actually not interested in the secret wars between the princes.

Comparatively speaking, they prefer stories about people with similar backgrounds and identities that happen around them. This is just like the trend of writing online articles. The hegemony genre is becoming less and less popular. Now read and read

Yes, it means the parents are short-lived, and it means what is happening around them.

At this point, there is no difference whether it is two thousand years ago or two thousand years later. Therefore, in the minds of most merchants, how to earn the maximum price difference between things is the key point. As for the truth of Li Cang

identity, they more intuitively believe the facts stated on the announcement at the gate of Xianyang City.

That is this man named Li Cang, a silk trader from the Guandongnan County. There have been quite a few Guandong people like him who have come to the Guanzhong area to pan for gold in the past year. Because he is close to some officials of the Han Dynasty, Li Cang

Cang listened to the sweet talk of the Han people and secretly helped the Han state to spy on Qin's military secrets. The result was tragic. After being reported and discovered, the Han state denied it and allowed Li Cang to be sentenced to death for espionage by the Qin state.

.

This briefing from the Tingwei Mansion of the Qin State made the Han State, which had always had a good reputation among the people of Guandong, suddenly become a scold for treachery. No matter how Liu Bang expressed his humility as an elder, he could not compete with Li Cang at the gate of Xianyang City.

That confession.

Plea guilty, sign a bond.

What's even more amazing is that before the Tingwei Mansion imprisoned Li Cang for execution, he also asked Li Cang to stage an accusation against the Han ministers, especially the Han Prime Minister Zhang Liang, in the public market of the West City. It was a pleasure to face.

Death, or being cut into pieces by a thousand cuts, Li Cang could only surrender.

The testimony is correct.

The merchants would not think about the shady story behind Li Cang's death. What they cared about was whether they would be regarded as Li Cang's second best.

Death is terrible.

It is even more terrible to be killed unjustly without any reason.

It doesn't matter whether Li Cang was unjustly killed. What's important is that Liu Bang did not contribute to this matter. He just sat and watched Li Cang die. Merchants can endure the indifference to the profession of merchants and can endure a pass.

He once extorted money, but he couldn't bear to let others do things without paying, and finally sat back and watched others go bankrupt.

In this atmosphere, the opinion of Guandong merchants towards Liu Bang, the King of Han Dynasty, was greatly reduced. Merchants are profit-seeking, and merchants also have their own principles.

When a happy life is about to come, it is like a smooth mirror being thrown to the ground. Under such a strong gap, even the Kanto people who have feelings for their hometown will carefully weigh whether they want to go back to their hometown.

Support the original country.

——.

People's hearts are quietly changing.

The people of Guandong, who once gathered together to resist the violent Qin Dynasty, gradually moved in different directions in the face of repeated interests decisions.

Merchants with low status, this group had no names in Fu's official registration and were looked down upon by the aristocratic families, gradually moved closer to the Qin State.

Without the support of merchants, if the Guandong princes want to expand their strength, they will have to rely more on taxes and the output of one-third of an acre of land. This will undoubtedly increase the burden on the people and cause them to lose more.

support from many people.

Xianyang.

The Qin State became more united because of Li Yuan's return. During the period when Li Yuan left, Chen Ping took on the important task of running the entire country. This made his originally thin appearance even thinner. Fortunately,

, Chen Ping’s spirit is still good.

Officials such as Guan Yue, Zhang Fu, Zhao Bi, Li Zheng, and Hou Xi have gradually become important helpers in Qin's internal affairs in the past few days. Under Chen Ping's dispatch, their cooperation with each other has become more organized. Of course,

Frictions in communication between people are inevitable, but under the overall institutional system of the Qin State, even if such conflicts exist, they will not have a large negative impact on the operation of the state machinery.

The high-efficiency operation allowed the implementation and promulgation of many important decisions within the Qin State. Among them, the official putting into operation of Chang'an City, which symbolized the national status, was the top priority in February of the fourth year of the New Calendar.

February.

The spring cold has not subsided yet.

Under the unified dispatch of Changshi Mansion, the Qin royal family, Shenwuhou Mansion, Changshi Mansion and government offices at all levels in Xianyang began to move to Chang'an City one after another.

This major relocation made Xianyang busy for a moment and then empty for a moment. When the people still living in Xianyang couldn't help but look up, they realized that the fast horse scouts who used to come and go in the market could no longer be found.

arrive.

The relocation of the political center.

In a short period of time, nothing may change, but it is foreseeable that in the near future, more and more people will decide to move to Chang'an City. Xianyang will inevitably become the same as Yongzhou, Linxia and other old cities. Gradually,

It has become an ordinary city that people can admire.

The Shenwuhou Mansion, located in the northwest of the city, is closely adjacent to the Imperial Palace of the State of Qin. There is a palace gate in the middle for easy access. When the eldest princess’s car drove smoothly from the palace to the Shenhou Mansion without attracting any attention, Winning

For the first time, Yu Shu expressed great satisfaction with Xin Zhui's design.

Of course, what made Ying Yushu happy was not only the novelty of Chang'an City, but also Li Yuan's attitude. Li Yuan, who had always been wary of the next generation, suddenly opened his attitude this time.

After getting married, when he cautiously proposed having a child, Li Yuan did not express any objection.

Yan Niuniu's cute appearance made the fatherly love deep in Li Yuan's heart suddenly burst out. People cannot refuse to do something just because they are afraid of a result.

Compared with Ying Yushu who had to stay in the palace, Gu Yunniang's luck was much better. She was directly taken into the Shenwu Marquis Mansion by Li Yuan. This woman who was obsessed with Li Yuan had been infatuated with him for four years.

After that, I finally waited for the day when my love blossomed.

Loving someone is a kind of happiness.

Being loved by someone is also a kind of happiness.

Gu Yunniang moved Li Yuan with her sincerity and infatuation, but also moved everyone around her, including Ying Yushu and Xin Zhui, two people in different situations, but came together because of the same man.

sisters.

You only live once.

Why bother to have more regrets? Li Yuan, who let go of his ties, is like a wild horse running wild. He no longer cares about the opinions of the world, or considers the consequences. As long as the people who love him like it, as long as he follows his own heart, but

Accept it openly.

Xin Zhui still lives in his own mansion. However, the distance between Xin's mansion and Shenhou's mansion is only one street, and it is convenient to go back and forth. The young lady walks again and again in the city that she designed and supervised, and every day she is full of youth.

There were happy smiles on their faces.

The future, for her, is just the beginning. (To be continued...)
