Chapter 629

Sakura Garden in the mountains.

Zi Nu's clogs stepped on the solid wood floor, making a stamping sound.Holding a plate in her hand, she walked into the room.

Zhao Shuang was lying on the bed, holding a grape in his hand, and was in a daze.

"what are you thinking about?"

Zi Nu put the plate on the short table beside her, took out the jug from above, and poured Zhao Shuang a glass of wine.

The bright red wine was poured into the luminous glass and brought to Zhao Shuang.

"Bei Mingzi from Taoism recently sent a letter asking me to go to Taiyi Mountain. I don't think there is anything good."

"Bei Mingzi?"

"The relationship between you and Taoist Tianzong is not very good."

"Usually this old guy would just ignore me, but this time he took the initiative to invite me, there must be something wrong."

"Could it be that the Taoists see that the empire dominates the world, so they want to arrange some disciples to enter Qin?"

Zhao Shuang shook his head.

"They can do this kind of thing by themselves, can I use it?"

Seeing Zhao Shuang's rejection, Zi Nu guessed again.

"Could it be that the Taoist school encountered some crisis in the Jianghu and wanted the Mohist school to take action?"

"Bei Mingzi, an old fellow, is fine if he doesn't make things difficult for others. Who can make things difficult for him?"

After all, there are no more than ten fingers in the world today who can compete with Bei Mingzi.

"Could it be that the Taoist Tianzong encountered some difficulties, so he wanted some property?"

Zhao Shuang was happy.

"It's easy for him to want money, and I don't have any anyway."

Seeing Zhao Shuang's rascal appearance, Zi Nu couldn't help rolling her eyes.Looking at Zhao Shuang's sad look, he couldn't help asking.

"Is there anything else going on here?"

Seeing Zi Nu's suspicious look, Zhao Shuang hurriedly comforted her.

"Where did you think, what could be going on here?"

"Really?"

"of course it's true."

Zhao Shuang said it swearingly.As for the fact that Yin Yang's family recently abducted a female disciple named Xiaoyi from Tianzong of Taoism, and Concubine Yan and Moon God told him to make peace with him, Zhao Shuang didn't think it was a matter.

"That's good! Don't stay with those messy vixens outside, and don't end up getting into trouble."

At this moment, Bai Lu from outside hurried to the courtyard, with a long knife on her waist, and bowed her hands.

"My lord, Marquis Wu Cheng is seeking an audience outside."

"Wang Jian?"

Zhao Shuang glanced at Zi Nu, who nodded, stood up, and went down to order the maid to make corresponding preparations.

Zhao Shuang stood up, put on his clothes, and was about to go out to meet the guests, when he heard Wang Jian's voice.

"The mountain courtyard is elegant, the wind is pleasant, it is really a first-class place."

"The grand master came here, but I didn't meet him in time, so I'm not careful, please!"

Zhao Shuang welcomed Wang Jian into the room and sat opposite each other.The maid brought the wine and put it on the table.

Looking at the wine in the moonlight glass on the short case, Wang Jian picked up the glass, took a sip, and praised it unconsciously.

"Good wine!"

Wang Jian put down his wine glass and said.

"The price of this kind of fine wine brewed from exotic fruits in the Western Regions is very high. The good ones can cost as much as one gold per bucket, and the lesser ones can cost five or six hundred dollars."

You know, in this era, the ordinary Qianshou only has a few hundred dollars in savings in one year.

When the times are not good, there will be no leftovers for these hundreds of dollars, and maybe they will have to pay back.

After all, Qin is based on farming and warfare.This kind of system is still affecting the operation of Qin State until now, emphasizing agriculture and ignoring business.

This means that most people can only rely on the agricultural products obtained by farming, throw away what they need, and exchange the rest in the market.

"Speaking of which, Lord Hanyang's fief is in Nanzheng, but there is also a Jincheng in the west as his residence. Over the years, caravans from the Western Regions have come to Guanzhong in an endless stream, and the most critical passage is the Jincheng?"

"indeed so!"

"It's really not easy to find out if you don't go to the field. There is a magnificent city with a population of 10,000+ outside Longxi."

A city with such a population, even in the Central Plains, can be regarded as a large city, let alone in Longxi?
Over the years, in addition to the original population brought by Zhao Shuang, many generals and schools of the imperial army also had property there.In particular, generals and schools from families in the army in Anxi Town also made their homes there.

Those who surrendered to Zhao Shuang from the frontier army of Zhao State in the past also settled in this city.

It can even be said that the largest city in Longxi is not Didao, but Jincheng outside Longxi, which is not under the jurisdiction of the county system of Qin State.

Jincheng has a unique geographical location.The surrounding water and grass are luxuriant, suitable for farming and grazing.The important thing is that the caravans from the Western Regions will definitely pass through here, bringing vitality to this city.

One hundred thousand Anxi town troops guarded at the foot of Helan Mountain, and built a military camp to defend against the Huns, also to protect the safety of this commercial road.

"I happen to be fine, and I'm going back to live in Jincheng!"

Wang Jian looked at Zhao Shuang, seemingly surprised.

"Coincidentally, the old man also wants to go back to his hometown."

At this moment, the empire is coordinating and planning the world with an extremely efficient agenda, but among them, there is one more core issue.

That is how to govern the world?

That is, the dispute between the county government and the enfeoffment system.

Both sides have valid points of view.Among them, the faction headed by the prime minister Wang Wan believes that the land of the world is dangerous, the difference between the rich and the poor, and the folk customs are different, so they cannot be generalized. They should entrust the children of the royal family and go to Qi Chu and other places where the hearts of the people are not convinced to stabilize the place.

The legalist ministers of Ting Wei Li Si's faction believed that the source of chaos in the world was the enfeoffment system.Even if they are of direct blood, after a few generations, their descendants will turn against each other, bringing considerable threat and chaos to the country.

After all, Zhou Shi is the best example.When the emperor of Zhou divided the fiefdoms, the vassal states with the surname Ji accounted for the vast majority.

The Zhou family originally wanted to use these vassal states surnamed Ji as Ping Fan, but later, it was these vassal states surnamed Ji who fought the most.

Back then, the battle of Suuge, which discredited the prestige of Emperor Zhou, was initiated by Zheng Zhuanggong, who also had the surname of Ji.

Of course, Wang Jian didn't care how this matter would go.But the Wang family has one family and two masters, and they are indeed standing on the cusp of the storm.

Similarly, there is also Zhao Shuang, who is also the Marquis of Che.

In contrast, Zhao Shuang was under even greater pressure.After all, he is the largest fiefdom of Qin State today.

"The grand master is at the peak of his power, and he should do his best for the country. How can he leave at this time?"

Wang Jian stroked his gray beard, looked at the other party's black hair, and thought to himself: You are not guilty of saying this.

"I'm getting old, and I can't keep up with energy. Recently, I often feel that I'm not capable enough to deal with military affairs. In the future, Daqin will depend on young talents like Lord Hanyang."

Zhao Shuang secretly despised it in his heart.This old guy is full of energy and strong, and he doesn't look like he can't keep up with it.

"I also feel tired recently, maybe it's an old injury, I'm afraid it will take a few years of recuperation to recover."

……

Xianyang Palace.

The master of the world is sitting on the throne, and in the palace, the courtiers of the two factions are arguing very fiercely.

But Emperor Zun's attention was on the two memorials on the desk.

What a coincidence today!

Both Wang Jian and Zhao Shuang want to return to their fiefdom, one for the elderly and the other for the sick.

Emperor Zun couldn't help laughing, and the courtiers who were quoting scriptures were taken aback for a moment.

Did I mention something wonderful? Why did His Majesty the Emperor laugh?

It shouldn't be, the lottery is in the next paragraph!
