Self-cultivation of the traveler of the world

The Wu family monopolized the trading of horses, livestock, and people, the Guo family monopolized the trading of copper, iron, and pottery, and the grain fields, clothing, and luxury goods were under the control of the nobles.

The three families worked together to make Zhao Guo's management difficult.

Most of the caravans that come in and out of the city gates every day are from the forces of these three families, with few exceptions.

"Shopkeeper, there are bugs in your food!"

"Oh? There are worms? This customer ordered plain rice, and if there are worms, you need to pay extra!"

"No, shopkeeper, did you make a mistake? There are bugs here!"

"Hey, you can't go wrong, customers, don't worry, we are a serious business, we won't cheat people, if you don't believe me, you can go to another store to see, our store is the most conscientious!"

"Oh, you thought your surname was Teng..."

Wang Xuebin stood by the street, watching the dispute in the restaurant, with a hint of sadness in his eyes.

Sure enough, it's not easy to learn well, but it's easy to learn badly.

The move of monopolizing was created by Wang Xuebin, with the purpose of creating polarization and causing turmoil in Zhao.

But I didn't expect that these three forces did more absolutely than I thought, leaving no way for the people to survive.

This is also the reason for the expansion of Wang Xuebin's power.

What can the people do if they can't survive and don't rebel with him?

After coming and going, Zhao Wang completely lost control of the government, and the nobles also occupied the dominant position of the three forces because they controlled the most basic food and fields.

"What is Mr. Guanlan looking at?"

Yuan Zong shook his drowsy head, walked out of the alley slowly, saw Wang Xuebin standing and watching, and came up curiously.

Wang Xuebin smiled and said nothing, and pointed to the small restaurant.

Yuan Zong looked in the direction of his fingers, and saw a big man with dark skin and ragged clothes, arguing and shoving with a peddler.

Looking at the behavior of the two, it was obvious that they were angry.

"This big guy has roots on the soles of his feet, he has a measured manner, and there is a hidden sharpness in his eyes. What's wrong? Sir, you know this person?"

Wang Xuebin saw one of Wu's stewards and surrounded him with a few servants, with an inexplicable smile on his lips.

"This person looks ordinary, but looks extraordinary!"

Yuan Zong also became interested when he heard the words, and watched the big man carefully.

"Haha, although this man is full of dust, he is indeed handsome, and he is almost catching up with Mr., and Mister's vision is really high!"

Wushi's steward paid the big man out of the siege, and left with the big man full of resentment.

Wang Xuebin looked at the departing Wuzhi people, heaved a sigh of relief, turned his head and said with a smile:

"I can't help it. The only thing I am worthy of praise is this face. This is the guy I eat. If I can be compared with this, it will be a bit unreasonable!"

Yuan Zong laughed loudly when he heard the words:

"Sir, you really know how to joke. No one knows your talent? Why use your looks to entertain people, but you are indeed both talented and beautiful. How much shame is there for Qin Lou and Chu Guan!"

Wang Xuebin heard Yuan Zong's joke, and asked with a smile:

"Hahahaha! Brother Yuan, don't you always live here? How do you know this so well?"

Talking and laughing, the two got on their horses and ran towards the manor outside the city.

......

After Zhao Mu lost power, the Julu Hou Mansion was annexed by the three families. The Hou Mansion and other residences belonged to the Wu Clan, and various properties were plundered by the royal family and nobles. The Guo Clan only got a few residences.

The Marquis Mansion of Julu was divided up, and the outer wall was forcibly demolished by King Zhao. So far, a Marquis Mansion like a city within a city has been merged into Handan.

Wuzhi’s place of residence was also moved here from the Ushi Ranch.

In a house in Wufu, the ordinary big man slumped on the couch after bathing and changing his clothes, not in good shape.

Looking at the steward in front of him, he asked with a relaxed expression.

"Tao Gong, I don't know where Tingfang's family is?"

This big man is Xiang Shaolong from time travel.

Xiang Shaolong was originally an elite of the special forces of later generations. He received an order to cooperate with him in completing a scientific experiment. This experiment is to travel through time and space.

With the help of the time machine, he will return to Xianyang one year before Qin Shihuang ascended the throne, stay in this time and space for ten seconds, and then be picked up by the time machine to verify the function of the time machine.

It's a pity that scientists in later generations don't know that time is something they can't play with.

It's not so much that they play with time as it is that time plays with them.

The time machine completely exploded after sending Xiang Shaolong to Qin.

All those who participated in the research and manufacture of the time machine were spared.

At this time Xiang Shaolong didn't know the seriousness of the matter.

He only thought that there was an omission in the time machine, and when the time came, he would be able to return to the modern age, so he still had a lot of thoughts to play tricks on.

First, he hooked up with a widow in a remote mountain village.

Later, in order to go to the Qin Dynasty, he joined the Wuzhi human trafficking team and had a fierce hand-to-hand fight with a foreign woman on the way.

From the mouth of this alien girl, I learned that there are bandits who are coming to rob the money.

With this news, he gained Wuzhi's steward, Tao Fang's trust, received Wuzhi's reward, and gained another beautiful woman, Tingfangshi.

Taking people's money means eliminating disasters for others, Xiang Shaolong accepted Wu Zhi's reward, so he naturally wanted to solve the problem for Wu Zhi.

So he led fifty warriors to stay behind to ensure the safety of the caravan.

The bandits were numerous and powerful, and Xiang Shaolong was not an easy-going type, so the two factions fought.

But Xiang Shaolong was weak after all, he was quickly dispersed by the bandits, and he was the only one who escaped with his life.

Tao Fang is one of Wu Zhi's stewards, he is in charge of Wu Zhi's population trading business.

The purpose of this trip is to search for beauties. After being trained by Wu Zhi, these beauties will be given to various dignitaries in order to win over power.

In this transaction, the most beautiful woman is Tingfang.

It was given to Xiang Shaolong before because he saw his extraordinary skills, tall and majestic, and wanted to win over him.

Later, Xiang Shaolong stayed behind and his life and death were unknown, neither Tao Fang nor Wu Zhi could possibly waste a beautiful woman for a person whose life and death were unknown.

Therefore, after the training, it was given to a dignitary, and that was the end of the matter.

Who knew, three months later, Xiang Shaolong appeared in Handan City without incident.

Tao Fang, who was the first to contact this person, naturally would not let him go and greet him in person.

After solving Xiang Shaolong's troubles, they brought him to live in Wuzhi's other courtyard.

After all, Xiang Shaolong is a person of later generations, without the thought that this era regards women as goods, so he mentioned his woman, Tingfang's family, to Tao Fang.

But the answer he got made him extremely angry.

"I'm sorry! I thought you, Shaolong, lost your life. After waiting for three months, you obeyed the master's order and gave her away to be a dancer."

Tao looked at Xiang Shaolong apologetically.

Then, Tao Fang smiled, looked at Xiang Shaolong and comforted him:

"But Shaolong, don't worry, I will specially pick two beauties who are more attractive than her to serve you."

Tao Fang was just a steward, but he was Wuzhi's steward after all. As the saying goes, the seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's door, as Wuzhi's steward, his power is really not small.

The beauties he has played with are countless. In his concept, beauties are goods, if one is missing, two more will be lost.

He thinks this way, but Xiang Shaolong doesn't think so.

He seemed to be punched in the chest by someone, and his face was pale.

"Who did you give it to?"

Tao Fang was very surprised, he didn't understand why Xiang Shaolong would attach so much importance to a bought woman, he said apologetically:

"Sorry, I can't tell you, Shaolong..."

Xiang Shaolong was furious when he heard the words, waved his hand, slapped it on the desk, and shouted loudly:

"Don't talk nonsense, you don't have to prove that I'm really dead, so you send her away, is that how you Wu Zhi do things?"

After all, Tao Fang is a deep-rooted generation in the city, his face is not in the least bit worried, but still apologetic.

"Shaolong take a rest first, let me think of a way for you, the master will meet you in person at night, this is the greatest honor of my family's warriors, don't miss this opportunity."

After saying that, Tao Fang got up and nodded, then turned his head and went out, leaving Xiang Shaolong alone in the room, feeling annoyed.

There is no way, this era is like this, Xiang Shaolong and Wang Xuebin are both traversers, but they are different in strength and receive completely different courtesy, this principle is the same from ancient to modern.

The strong make the rules, and the weak abide by the rules. Wang Xuebin was once a weak man, and he also encountered many things he could do nothing about.

Now he is completely considered a strong man!

The situation in the world is controlled by him alone, and the seven heroes of the Warring States Period are the pawns in his hands.

Holding white in one hand and black in the other, he put down his thoughts on this vast chessboard.

Establish a heart for the world, establish a life for the living and the people, inherit the unique knowledge of the saints, and create peace for all generations.

Chapter 187

The mainstream forces in each period are different.

The warlords of the Republic of China, the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, the Xuelords of the Song and Ming Dynasties, and the aristocratic families from the Sui and Tang Dynasties to the end of the Han Dynasty.

In their era, these forces all held the mainstream discourse power.

These people were the upper classes of their time.

These forces all have the same characteristic, that is, they are close to power.

China has been an official-based and power-based society since ancient times. These forces have become the mainstream because they are close to power.

Before the Shang Dynasty, China was still in the era of slavery, and slave owners were the mainstream.

In the Zhou Dynasty, China changed from slavery to feudalism, and the mainstream changed from slave owners to nobles.

From the Spring and Autumn Period of the Zhou Dynasty to the Warring States Period, the rites collapsed, the classes were lost, and various countries reformed to restrict the power of the nobility.

"Scholar" refers to scholar-bureaucrats, representing learned people. Confucius, Mencius, Lao Zhuang, Shang Yang and Zhang Yi are all figures of this class.

But the centipede is dead but not stiff.

Without a thorough revolution, the aristocracy still exists, even in Qin, which has undergone the most thorough reforms.

Qin's government has always been controlled by four forces.

The first is the military. The Qin State confers titles based on military merits. The military is the most powerful force, dominated by the Meng family, Wang family, and Zhao family.

The second is the government. Before Wang Guanlan entered Qin, the military and government of the Qin State were not very separated, but since Mr. Guanlan came to power, the government has risen, and there is a clear dividing line with the military.

After that came the old Qin clan.

Ever since Qin Xiangong issued the Recruitment Order of Qin State, foreign talents from all walks of life entered Qin State one after another. While strengthening Qin State, it also squeezed the sphere of influence of the old Qin people.

The old Qin people spontaneously formed a group, forming a force that cannot be ignored.

The last is the nobility.

The nobility here refers to the royal family and the harem.

The royal family is the direct line of King Qin, and now they are the heirs of King Qin Xiaowen. They are not very influential, but together, they can still wrestle with Zi Chu, who is not yet firmly seated on the throne.

Zi Chu is not favored by King Xiaowen, he can become the throne, in addition to Lu Buwei's help, more importantly, is the support of Mrs. Huayang in the harem.

The harem of the Warring States period was completely different from that of the so-called fourth and eighth masters in later generations.

The pattern of struggle in the harem during this period was very large, and the struggle was never for favor, but for power.

The concubines of this period are for the motherland, for the children and grandchildren, and for the family, the country and the world.

They swayed in the harem, affecting the rise and fall of a family and a country.

Thanks to Mi Bazi, now Qin's harem is ruled by the Chu Party, and the Han Party and the Zhao Party are overwhelmed.

The current core of the Chu Party is Mrs. Huayang. Mrs. Huayang has no heirs. Qin Yiren changed his name from Yiren to Zichu in order to win the support of Mrs. Huayang.

With the support and cooperation of Mrs. Huayang, Zi Chu finally ascended to the throne.
