Chapter 562 Gathering
The ancient jungle city, the quicksand headquarters.

As the carriage stopped slowly, the blindfolded man walked down the ancient road and walked slowly towards the ancient temple in the city under the watchful eyes of the quicksand guards.

Wei Zhuang sat on the throne, looked at the man in front of him, and took off the cloth cover.

The middle-aged man is well maintained. Although his clothes are simple, he has an extraordinary bearing.

"Changping-kun!"

Wei Zhuang looked at the person in front of him, he had met him a few times when he was a guest under Lu Buwei's family in the past.Compared with the calm and capable appearance in the previous impression, the person in front of him seems to be a little thinner, but what remains unchanged is his piercing eyes.

"Lord Changping of Great Qin should quell the rebellion in Han. Why did he come here?"

"Come here, naturally do business with quicksand."

"Oh?"

There was a gleam of light in Wei Zhuang's eyes, looking at Mr. Changping, the corner of his mouth was slightly slanted.

"Shouldn't you come here to ask Quicksand to take action to quell civil unrest and do such boring things?"

"I'm not here to ask quicksand to quell civil unrest, but to ask quicksand to create a rebellion!"

Wei Zhuang sat up straight and smiled slightly.

"interesting!"

"Is quicksand acceptable?"

"When doing business with quicksand, you should naturally know the rules of quicksand. You should also know, what will you pay if the deal fails in the end?"

"The world!"

Lord Changping looked at Wei Zhuang, although with his cultivation and swordsmanship, he could easily kill him.However, Mr. Changping's face remained unchanged, and his imposing manner was not inferior to that of Wei Zhuang.

"King Qin sweeps Liuhe, and the world will be unified. Such a world should not be what the Lord of Quicksand wants."

"Prying into my heart is a very dangerous thing."

"There are many people in this world who are the same as the Lord of Quicksand. They don't want to see it, but what they want behind them is different. But I can give the Lord of Quicksand what he wants. How about the price?"

"you?"

"The state of Qin prospered with the laws of the Shang monarch, and it must decline because of the laws of the Shang monarch."

"As the right prime minister of Qin State, no one knows Qin State's weakness better than you."

At Wei Zhuang's words, Mr. Changping stood where he was and smiled slightly.

"Soldiers are an ominous weapon, and the sages have no choice but to use them. Qin Xinggong is afraid of violence, and his power shakes the sea. However, the army goes out to the east, with more than [-] at every turn, and it costs a lot of money. The six countries are still alive, and Qin can take them. The six countries are all destroyed. , where does Ann get it?"

Saying that, Changping-kun stretched out his hand.

"A big defeat will let the people of the world see the fragility behind the strength of the Qin army."

"A big defeat?"

Wei Zhuang seemed to understand what Mr. Changping meant, but he didn't care much.

"Then do you think that a big defeat can stop Qin from annexing the world?"

Mr. Changping laughed.

"Does the Lord of Quicksand care? No matter what, the world will become even more chaotic because of Qin's big defeat. Qin can't smoothly annex all the land south of the big river. Buried."

When Mr. Changping said this, his voice was deep.

"Qin's unification of the world is a general trend, and the six countries' rebellion against Qin is also a general trend. Even if Qin finally unifies the world, the troubled times are far from over. Who can have the last laugh depends on their own abilities."

"The quicksand took over this deal." Wei Zhuang looked at Mr. Changping, "When do you want this rebellion to take place?"

"I believe that the Lord of Quicksand will make this judgment himself!"

This year, 12 mu of land has been added to Nanzheng, two wharfs, fifteen granaries, 1000 naturalized barbarians, 1000 armors, 320 bows, and 22 arrows. The 23 cities in Nanzheng land harvested 150 million [-] shi...

This year Jincheng has added 250 mu of land, built five new horse farms, acquired 230 young horses, bought five thousand-mile horses, sixteen five-hundred-mile horses, 760 good horses, and three 4000 Hu Qiang owners. Two people, [-] million yuan in the fifteen cities of Jincheng...

In the dark night, in the pavilion, Zhao Shuang looked at the financial report of last year's fiefdom, which recorded the specific situation of the two places in detail.

As the feudal lord of the Qin State, the biggest advantage is that Zhao Shuang's two fiefdoms have no military threat. Therefore, it is enough to maintain a small-scale military force.

Although Qin State is attacking the world, Zhao Shuang's fief is very stable, and it can even be said to be peaceful.

Therefore, it can develop stably.

Of course, the content recorded above is only superficial.What is really important is that although there are many forces on this long commercial road from Yumen in the west to Jincheng in the east, the business tax on this commercial road is controlled by Zhao Shuang.

The city square built in the city of Yuezhi.It is now the largest trading place, and the people who manage the market place are all Zhao Shuang's subordinates.

From the countries of the Western Regions to the merchants in the customs, the tax policies are unified at the gateways they pass along the way.

In addition, many industries have sprung up near this business road.Salt from the West Sea, horses from Longxi, copper and iron wares from Guanzhong, brocade from Bashu, medicinal materials, leather goods, and even wine from the grasslands.

Since Qin Guoping destroyed Yanzhao, this business route has even extended to Donghu and North Korea.

Wine alone, sold to Guanzhong and even the Central Plains and Siyi, can bring huge benefits to Zhao Shuang every year.Ordinary wine is only a few tens of dollars a bucket, and the more expensive ones are only one or two hundred dollars, but wine can be sold for five or six hundred dollars or even a thousand dollars.

Monopolizing trade can bring huge benefits to Zhao Shuang, and also bring a lot of families to gather around him.

But all of this is inseparable from a stable environment.

Since the Huns were expelled from Helan Mountain, the Anxi Town Army has occupied the former Xiwangting of the Huns, reclaimed and guarded the border.There was no threat to the north of Jincheng. Although the Xiongnu sent out cavalry to harass and plunder from time to time, there was no major battle.

As for the surrounding Hu and Qiang tribes, Xihaiqi was guarding them, and there was no major disturbance.The Western Regions were guarded by the Yuezhi army. Although Wusun was a strong enemy, the situation remained stable.

It can be said that as long as there is no major chaos within the Qin State, a large number of troops need to be deployed, and even the Anxi Town Army and Taiyuan Army are used, then this trade route can still be stable in the short term.

The rare treasures from the land of Yanzhao and even Donghu, North Korea, Zhenfan and other places can be continuously sent to Guanzhong and reach the Western Regions.vice versa.

A shadow fell in front of Zhao Shuang, bowing his head slightly.

"My lord, Lord Changping traveled eastward this time, and secretly went to the land of quicksand, and discussed with Wei Zhuang, but the specifics are unknown."

"Quicksand?"

"Besides, the peasant family and Yanmo have been active recently, and have even crossed the Huai River many times. It seems that they are planning to build a city. The Pijiamen in Weidi, the Qixingtai in Chudi, and even the Xiang clan in Chuguo are all involved. There is an unusual movement."

Zhao Shuang smiled.

"It seems that my father-in-law has done a lot this time!"
