Chen Qing felt emotional and couldn't help sighing.

He is not omniscient, nor can he know everything.

There is still a long way to go before every Chinese citizen can live a peaceful and peaceful life with sufficient food and clothing.

Seeing the six imperial carriages, the people in Qianshou gave way one after another, and the three members of Chen Qing's family crossed the streets and alleys unimpeded.

When approaching the door of the house, someone came forward from afar.

"I have seen Chen Fuling."

Zhuo Tianlu walked up quickly and bowed respectfully.

"Yo."

"A rare guest."

Chen Qing's eyes were teasing: "Mr. Zhuo, what's your business today, come to Bi Mansion?"

Zhuo Tianlu shivered nervously: "How can a villain dare to be called a son, the Chen Fuling has broken the villain."

"You can call me Xiao Zhuo, or Xiao Lu."

He smiled flatteringly, and his words were extremely humble.

"The Zhuo family is also a wealthy family in Sichuan, with thousands of servants and over ten thousand servants."

"It's not difficult to take down the Sheriff's Mansion with a call from the top."

"Calling you Mr. Zhuo, how can you be serious?"

Every sentence in Chen Qing's words was thorny, Zhuo Tianlu's face turned pale, and he kept complaining: "The villain went back to Shu to take care of the Southwest Yi, and now he has accomplished a great deal."

"Because I was in a hurry to report to you, I drove back on a fast horse day and night."

"At most half a month, the northern army and the barbarian slaves you want can arrive in Xianyang."

Chen Qing nodded lightly: "So that's the case."

"Come in and talk."

Before Cheng's family was implicated in the treason case, he thought it was time for Zhuo's family to curry favor.

The two families are both in the iron industry in Sichuan, and if they say they have no personal contacts with each other, no one will believe it.

Unexpectedly, Chen Qing waited left and right, but he didn't wait for the Zhuo family to come to the door.

This made him feel that the other party didn't take himself seriously.

Zhuo Tianlu did not come alone, there were several carriages parked outside, all of which were presents from Jinxian.

Shu brocade, embroidered fabrics, tiger and leopard animal skins, and precious stones are famous all over the world.

Zhuo Tianlu's attitude was very upright, he babbled and denounced the Cheng family's rebellious actions, and left his family clean.

"Of course I won't implicate the innocent."

"Three generations of the Zhuo family have served Daqin."

"Your loyal majesty can see it."

Chen Qing secretly calculated that the value of these valuables should be at least one hundred thousand guan.

Add in free slaves, and the gains are not small.

A friendly smile appeared on his face: "Mr. Zhuo, come and sit down."

"When you get here, it's like your own home, so why not be polite."

Zhuo Tianlu smiled embarrassingly, and sat stiffly in front of the case.

"The Cheng family has done it for themselves, and from now on Bashu Iron Industry will be dominated by your family."

"The right time and place are all right, I will replace the wine with tea, first congratulate the Zhuo family's career to a higher level."

Chen Qing raised his teacup.

Zhuo Tianlu quickly grabbed the cup: "Chen Fuling is joking."

"Nowadays, the common people in Xianyang gather by the Weihe River to attract iron with magnets, and most of them can get two or three hundred catties a day."

"Even the fishermen on the river have changed their ways, letting fish and shrimps go to catch iron sand."

"Now...the price of iron in Xianyang keeps falling, and the Zhuo family's shop is deserted, and it is almost impossible to operate."

"In a few days, this trend will reach Bashu."

He shook his head: "The Zhuo family's century-old foundation may not be sustainable."

Chen Qing pursed his lips and laughed.

When I said that the price of iron would be as cheap as weeds, none of you believed this or that, and you all thought I was talking nonsense.

How is it now?

It's come true!

"The vicissitudes of the sea change, the times change."

"Is there any unchanging truth in the world?"

"What is the Zhuo family going to do next?"

Chen Qing secretly guessed the other party's intentions.

It is nothing more than seeking new iron-smelting technology, seeking official support, or giving and accepting privately to control iron prices.

"Iron industry is the foundation of the Zhuo family, so naturally we won't let it go easily."

"It's just that I can no longer entrust everything in the family to it like before."

"Afterwards...the Zhuo family may cultivate tea mulberry, weave brocade and fry tea."

"It can always feed the tribe."

Zhuo Tianlu said with a smile.

Chen Qing's eyes tightened.

wrong!

So wrong!

The Zhuo family has smelted iron for generations, how could it be possible to just let it go.

These tyrants are basically tigers, leopards and wolves, born to eat meat.

Letting them farm and raise silkworms is more uncomfortable than killing them.

unless……

They found a new way to make money, even more lucrative than iron smuggling.

smuggling……

Chen Qing's mind suddenly flashed the figures of those slave laborers digging out the sewer.

boom!

He jumped up against the case and shouted excitedly: "Have you found the body poison channel?"

"No, not the Zhuo family."

"It's the Cheng family!"

"The Southwestern Yi are scattered among the mountains, and the population is sparse. How can they have the appetite to eat so much iron?"

"After the Cheng family was destroyed, did you take over the body poison channel they secretly controlled?"

Chen Qing stared at Zhuo Tianlu in front of him with burning eyes.

This time I can pick up a big treasure!

"Chen Fuling, you...you..."

Zhuo Tianlu's face was pale, he couldn't speak in a stuttering manner.

Can anyone in the world know it?

Or Chen Qing is the reincarnation of ghosts and gods?

How did he know!

Chen Qing knew that he had guessed right when he saw the other party's expression.

He approached with a sneer, and said in a gloomy but friendly tone: "Xiao Lu, listen to my advice. The water here is too deep, you can't handle it."

Chapter 284 Meeting Me, God Can't Save You

Shushen Poison Road is the famous Southern Silk Road.

Starting from Chengdu in later generations, it passed through Yunnan (ancient Dian Kingdom) and arrived at Shendu Kingdom in the Indian subcontinent.

It is impossible to verify exactly when this route appeared. It is the first time in history that this route appeared in official records, which originated from Zhang Qian’s departure from the fortress during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

In order to join forces with the Dayue clan to attack the Xiongnu, Zhang Qian traveled thousands of miles westward.

When I arrived in the Daxia Kingdom (now Afghanistan) that day, I was shocked to find that there were bamboo sticks and Shu brocades produced in Bashu.

After inquiring locally, I found out that these items were all sold from the neighboring Shendu country.

There are often merchants from Shu in the Shendu Kingdom to do business, and the trade is frequent.

Zhang Qian kept what he saw and heard firmly in his heart, and immediately told Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty the news after returning home.

For the first time, the monarchs and officials of the Han Dynasty knew that Shu had long had a secret passage leading to foreign countries.

"The Zhuo family."

"Fate is really weird."

"Xiao Lu, your Zhuo family has made great achievements in finding the Tao of Shushen Poison."

Chen Qing patted his shoulder and said meaningfully.

After Zhang Qian discovered the news of the secret passage in Shu, Emperor Wu of Han immediately ordered him to find out the route.

It's a pity that this road is full of dangerous mountains and bad waters, and barbarians are everywhere.They were extremely resistant to the arrival of the Han army, and frequently went down the mountain to harass them.

For a total of five years, the pioneering team clashed with local tribes continuously, resulting in more and more casualties.

At that time, the Han court already had the idea of ​​mobilizing the army and killing them all the way.

Later, Sima Xiangru took the initiative to ask for Ying and took over this hot potato.

Everyone knows that this is a talented man with a long history.

The song "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix" caused Zhuo Wenjun to elope and marry him regardless of the worldly vision.Even when he sells wine, he has no complaints or regrets.

"Zixu Fu", "Shanglin Fu" and Zhuo Wenjun's "Baitou Yin" have been passed down through the ages.

"Wish to have one heart, never leave each other" has touched the hearts of many idiotic men and women.

It stands to reason that such a pure literary and artistic youth, how could he dare to be the first bird and take on the important task of appeasing the Southwestern Yi?

Sima Xiangru has an advantage that others cannot compare with.

He has a wonderful wife!

His father-in-law is Zhuo Wangsun, a tycoon in Shu who is as rich as an enemy!

then……

Sima Xiangru is leisurely and contented, and regards the dangerous mountains and rivers as a spring outing.

I also wrote two articles "Yu Ba Shu Xi" and "Nan Shu Fathers".

As the old saying goes: When the pen falls, the wind and rain startle, and the poem weeps ghosts and gods.

Although Nannanyi couldn't understand Chinese characters, he was also overwhelmed by his unrivaled talent, and they bowed down one after another.

In this way, a large number of barbarian tribes surrendered to the big man, and opened the door of the poison passage.

In the official history records, Sima Xiangru's literary talent to influence the barbarians is a big book, and he is regarded as an idol by countless scholars.But he never mentioned the thousands of armed servants sent by the Zhuo family, as well as tens of thousands of entourage and auxiliary soldiers.

"Chen Fuling, you... what channel are you talking about?"
