Daqin: Zulong's Traveling Frog

Chapter 93 Mine Boss and Farm Director
Since Qin Wangzheng was critically ill, the gate of Xianyang City was only closed.

No one is allowed to leave Beijing without special circumstances.

And Hangu Pass also received an edict from the king, people outside the pass had to go through strict censorship when entering the city, and people inside the pass had to get an edict from Zhangtai Palace to leave the pass.

For a while, people in the Guanzhong area were panicked, and they all speculated that something serious happened in Xianyang City.

The Zhangtai Palace was dimly lit in the dusk.

Only Xiangguo Mansion is brightly lit.

The Prime Minister of Zuo, Mr. Changping, sat in front of the big bronze case, a trace of anxiety flashed in his eyes.

On the left and right sides were placed eight big bronze cases. Eight merchants wearing brocade silk and boots sat kneeling in front of the big cases, frowning.

There was an unstoppable depression accumulating in the hall, and everyone had a dull look on their faces.

Prime Minister Zuo sighed, and said in a hoarse voice, "Your Majesty had an epileptic seizure, and now the imperial doctor has nothing to do."

With tears hanging from the corners of their eyes, the eight merchants wailed and wiped away their tears with the corners of their clothes from time to time: "Your Majesty is the reincarnation of a real dragon, and he will definitely recover."

In fact, in his heart, he wished that Qin Wangzheng would die sooner.

Since Shang Yang's reform, merchants have been crazily squeezed and exploited.

The status drops sharply, and a small official can bully him.

After Qin Wangzheng came to power, Qin Law's exploitation of merchants became more thorough. The merchants wished that Qin Wangzheng would die soon and replace him with a "Ming Master" to revise Qin Law and treat merchants kindly.

Lord Changping cast a glance. The acting skills of these people were so bad that even he couldn't bear to watch them anymore. He interrupted: "The government is short of supplies. We need you to find something!"

The eight businessmen cupped their hands one after another, the gloom on their faces was swept away, and they sneered: "I am willing to serve you."

Mr. Changping smiled awkwardly, and said to himself, "You can change your face faster than turning a book!"

But he resisted the urge to tear them into pieces, and said with a sneer, "Go to the six kingdoms of Shandong to find some herbs."

"Uncaria, calamus, and mother-of-pearl from Chu, cassia from Qi, gallbladder, and scutellaria from Wei."

"Golden Scorpion from Han, Ice Cube from Yan, Citrus Citrus from Zhao."

"For the above items, collect a full ten stones, and the government will provide funds for chariots and horses and the money needed to purchase them."

The businessmen's eyes were golden, they looked at each other, and smiled at each other, revealing an evil smile of greed for money.

After receiving enough money, the crowd drove out of Xianyang city in a horse-drawn carriage, taking advantage of the dawn.

In addition, a royal edict was issued by Xianyang City.

"Guanzhong County, collect bezoar, citrus aurantium, gardenia, amber, ten stones of each kind, and transport them all to Zhangtai Palace."

"Ba Qing, Zhi County, Ba County, was summoned to the capital with five stones of cinnabar."

"Wu Shiluo from Beidi County brought a hundred cows into Beijing by order."

A few days later, Wu Zhiluo and Ba Qing drove into Zhangtai Palace in a carriage.

The people in the city did not show disdain when they saw the businessman, but looked up to him with yearning eyes.

Although the state of Qin was in a state of agriculture and the status of merchants was very low, there were two big merchants who were exceptions.

One of them is Wu Zhiluo, who made his fortune from animal husbandry, owns more than [-] cattle, sheep and horses, and is a proper farm manager.

The second is Ba Qing, to be more precise, Ba Widow Qing. His husband makes a living by buying and selling cinnabar. Because he has no son, she inherits all the family property. In addition, he also collects gold and silver from the land of Bashu. Copper and iron, well salt, a great source of wealth, in today's terms is the mine boss.

The two men went to the capital under the imperial edict and sent cinnabar and bezoar as medicinal herbs to cure Qin Wangzheng.

Who would have thought that these herbal medicines were written by Xiao Zhinu?

After several envoys Qian and Qin Wangzheng learned that the 20 army was almost wiped out, they were strongly stimulated, causing nerve damage and seizures.

The imperial doctors were helpless, but Xiao Zhinu suddenly wanted to go on a trip.

Before leaving, pick up a pen and write down a Chinese herbal medicine formula.

A total of fifteen kinds of herbs are listed in the formula.

Two of them are not in the Central Plains.

This made Mr. Changping very distressed, and he did not hesitate to pay a hundred gold to buy it.

But the customers who came and went were only attracted by the high prices, and the items they brought were all fakes, so Mr. Changping had no choice but to send them away.

Since he can't find it, the little child slave still needs to go to the world to find antelope horns and geraniums!

Xiao Zhinu has already used the system to rush to the Cape of Good Hope in Africa.

The Cape of Good Hope is located in southern Africa. It has a favorable time and place, but it is almost uninhabited.

When Xiao Zhinu reached the Cape of Good Hope, he was not stopped by anything.

The vast grassland can be seen at a glance, and several wild beasts are fighting non-stop.

In the grass, from time to time, rare beasts and even boa constrictors opened their mouths wide, about to swallow the little child alive.

However, Xiao Zhinu has already been blessed with speed and strength.

Except for huge beasts like lions and elephants, the rest of the beasts could hardly catch up to Xiao Zhinu.

In addition to the highly poisonous beasts, Xiao Zhinu can kill some small animals with a knife.

After avoiding the pursuit of wild beasts, the little child slave finally found geraniums in a warm, humid and sunny environment.

After collecting the geraniums into the system, Xiao Zhinu used the system again to send them to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

The cold wind pierces the heart like a needle, and the birds and animals have long since disappeared, except for the little childish slave who braved the cold wind and searched hard.

After the altitude sickness, Xiao Zhinu suddenly fainted to the ground.

When he woke up, he found himself in a cave.

And the little childish slave is about to be regarded as a delicacy and enter the stomach of the savage.

However, with his divine power, Xiao Zhinu pushed away the stones on his body and immediately jumped out of the cave.

Kill a few dying antelopes with a short knife and take off their horns!

Time was running out, and Xiao Zhinu didn't send the mailbox, so he rushed to Zhangtai Palace in a hurry.

Zhangtai Palace.

Qin Wangzheng was slumped on the bed, expressionless, with a warm silk scarf on his forehead, silk stuffed in his mouth, and loose clothes all over his body.

Looking at Qin Wangzheng's slightly trembling fingers, Lord Changping was taken aback, thinking that Qin Wangzheng was nourished by God's will and had already recovered.

It's a pity that Qin Wangzheng was only shaking his fingers, and there was no outstanding performance.

Lord Changping took a deep breath and exhaled heavily: "Your Majesty, he is the real dragon prince, and he will definitely recover."

The tone was full of sorrow, but more of a helpless tone.

Mr. Changping panicked, and some miscellaneous thoughts flooded into his mind.

If Qin Wangzheng fainted, who would command the leaderless city of Xianyang?

Qin Wangzheng was young, and his heir was still in Jicheng, Yan State, and his age was only five years old!

Who will be the successor?Who will bear the girder?
The capital city of Xianyang seems to be calm, but in fact it is already in danger.

The royal family is ready to make a move, and the six kingdoms of Shandong are watching with eager eyes.

Will the unremitting efforts of the great Qin kings be ruined?

Seeing the imperial doctor who came late, Lord Changping was furious, and drew out the sword in his waist to stab the imperial doctor to death.

The imperial doctor was so frightened that he quickly knelt down, kowtowed like walking on thin ice, and begged Lord Changping for forgiveness.

Lord Changping breathed a sigh of relief, put away the knife, and said coldly: "Hurry up and feed the medicine to the king!"

The imperial doctor quietly helped Qin Wangzheng up, and fed the soaked herbs to Qin Wangzheng
