To the east of Xianyang City, there is Dongmen District.
Walking along the Dongmen District, there is a Free Square City called Xianyinfang.
In Xianyinfang, there are five streets in front and behind, with hundreds of shops of various sizes.
There are more things to sell.
Magical instruments, talismans, medicinal materials, and elixirs are all the most basic.
In addition, there are various machine puppets, rare treasures, and rare ores for sale.
It doesn't matter if you don't want to buy something.
There are also places to relax, and if you like blood and blood, you can go to the martial arts arena.
Qin people are good at martial arts.
No matter you are doing it for money, fame, or to train yourself.
Arena competitions in martial arts arenas are the best choice.
If you have the ability, win a hundred consecutive victories in the ring.
Congratulations, your name will be sung throughout the Qin Kingdom, immortals will come to invite you to become a worshiper, and princes will come to invite you to become a guest.
What's more, the royal families of various countries will extend an olive branch to you and promise you huge profits. There is no better way to reach the sky than this.
certainly.
It doesn't matter if you don't like fighting and killing, there are other ways to have fun.
Qin Prime Minister Lu Buwei's Qianjin Yixiao Pavilion and Yang Quanjun's Wine Pond Xingyuan are both good places to eat, drink and have fun.
If you don't like this.
There are also Zhenbao Pavilion that sells rare treasures, Tianjiao Pavilion that sells slave monks, Fuyun Pavilion that helps people predict misfortunes, and Spring and Autumn Academy that buys and sells martial arts.
Here, there is nothing you can’t think of and nothing they can’t do.
"Hengguzhai!"
"Well, that's the name."
Looking at the plaque hanging on the door of the store, Zhang Heng nodded with satisfaction: "Hua Rou, this will be our home in Xianyang from now on."
Hidden away in the city.
Zhang Heng is not picky about where he lives, but Hua Rou is not.
She shoulders the important task of revitalizing Fengling Sect and needs a suitable stage where she can perform.
Because of this, Zhang Heng chose to settle in Xianyang.
He believed that no matter how the future direction changed, the Qin Empire and its capital Xianyang would be an indispensable part of the general trend of the world.
"Uncle, now that we have a shop, what kind of business will we do in the future?"
Looking at the two-story building in front of her, Hua Rou asked happily.
"what business!"
Zhang Heng thought for a while and said, "Let's buy and sell treasures. There are no restrictions on the types, but only high-end ones."
Be it an immortal weapon or a talisman.
Even if it is the elixir of immortality or the mysterious technique.
As long as someone dares to sell, he will dare to buy.
If someone dares to buy, he will dare to sell.
If he could make a profit, he would make the difference; if he couldn't, he would keep the things for himself.
Anyway, Zhang Heng has a portal. For others, after ascending, it will be difficult to return to the original world.
But Zhang Heng is different. He can go back anytime he wants. Some things he doesn't need can also be stored in the sect's treasure house as a treasure.
"By the way, we need to recruit a knowledgeable shopkeeper, otherwise the business will become too busy and the shop will be inseparable from people 24 hours a day."
Industry specializing in surgery.
Zhang Heng's research on rare treasures was limited to reading a few books introducing rare treasures.
You can draw a tiger from a cat or a gourd from a gourd. It's like being able to talk a few words about the Three Kingdoms after watching the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
But to say that you are proficient is sheer nonsense, and you don’t have that skill.
Just do it.
afternoon.
There are two more signboards at the entrance of Henggu Village.
One piece of paper reads: I want to buy all kinds of rare and rare treasures, at favorable prices and in any type.
One block reads: We are looking for shopkeepers. We need to have more than ten years of experience in the industry and be able to identify all kinds of rare and rare treasures. We need to be from Xianyang, have no bad records, and the salary is negotiable. Those who are over thirty years old and have a family are preferred.
As for why those with families are given priority.
Very easy to understand.
You are from Xianyang, and you still have a family by your side. If you dare to cheat in the future, you have to think about your family as well as yourself.
A businessman must speak business words.
You must not have the intention of harming others, and you must have the intention of guarding against others.
Zhang Heng has no intention of cheating others, nor does he want to be cheated by others.
"is the boss around?"
Not long after the notice was posted.
A young man in his thirties carrying a baggage came in.
"sell things?"
Seeing the visitor carrying a baggage, Zhang Heng just thought he was here to sell treasures: "It's not officially opened yet, come back in two days."
"You are the boss, right?"
The young man put down the baggage and said in a high-pitched voice: "Little man Hou Wu, I see you are looking for a shopkeeper. I want to give it a try."
"you?"
Zhang Heng looked at Hou Wu twice.
He was not a person who judged people by their appearance, but Hou Wu was dressed in shabby clothes and had a flattering look on his face. He didn't look like a shopkeeper at all, but a handyman at most.
"can you?"
Zhang Heng hesitated.
"Okay, I grew up among treasures. When it comes to treasures, I have seen the second most in the entire Xianyang City. No one can recognize the first."
When it comes to his abilities, Hou Wu is full of confidence.
Zhang Heng was doubtful.
Not to mention the distance, there are only a few people who can open a shop in Xianyinfang, and no one has the support of powerful forces behind them.
What is Hou Wu's origin? He has seen more treasures than these people.
"Words don't count."
"Well, let's see how this sword looks like."
Zhang Heng became interested in testing.
He handed over his Taiping Sword, intending to see if Hou Wu could tell him something.
"This sword..."
Hou Wu took it and took a look and took a breath: "This sword is extraordinary. The main materials should be Jiumu's gold and star iron. Historical Records and Fengchan Book: Yu collected Jiumu's gold and cast the Jiuding to control China."
Jiumu's gold is said to be gold, but it is actually a special kind of copper.
It is mostly used to cast tripods and bells, because it is said that this metal can suppress luck, so this is the first time I have seen it used to make weapons."
Hou Wu took the Taiping Sword and looked at it again and again.
After a while, he seemed to see some clues again, and frowned slightly: "This sword should be the treasure of a certain sect to suppress the sect. It is not only a symbol of status, but also a sword of power to suppress the sect. In addition, this sword
There is a special aura on it, like a curse from heaven, this sword is very dangerous."
"Huh!"
Zhang Heng did not expect that Hou Wu, looking down and out, would have such sharp eyesight and be able to see the specialness of the Taiping Sword.
Especially the heavenly curse above, it is difficult to recognize it unless you have seen similar heavenly curses.
"Sir, where do you come from? Your identity must be unusual, right?"
Seeing that Hou Wu is really capable.
Zhang Heng's attitude became more friendly, and he knew that he had met a capable person.
"It made you laugh."
Hou Wu looked ashamed: "I used to be the Internal Affairs Bureau, an internal eunuch in King Qin's treasury."
"Internal prison?"
Zhang Heng was stunned for a moment and thought to himself: "Internal Affairs Department, the eunuch who guards the treasure house?"
With the word "nei" in the title of "Neifu", it can only be an internal organization in the palace of the Qin Dynasty.
In addition, his duty is to take care of the King of Qin's treasury, so it should be impossible for him to be a eunuch.
A eunuch is just a eunuch.
As a modern person, Zhang Heng knew that many eunuchs were sold into the palace by their parents, and he had no choice at all.
Just out of caution, Zhang Heng still asked: "Are you from Xianyang? Is there anyone else at home? Since you are working well in the palace, why did you come out?"
Hou Wuyu shed tears first when he spoke: "I am from Xianyang. When I was a child, my family owed money to others, so they had no choice but to sell me into the palace. Now I have a younger sister who has not left the palace."
Wiping his tears, Hou Wu said again: "I am not favored in the inner palace. The eunuchs resold the treasures in the palace. When the incident came to light, they put the blame on me. Fortunately, the Queen Mother Xia interceded for me and saved me from death.
, beat him with fifty sticks and drove him out of the palace."
"That's it!"
Zhang Heng was no stranger to Queen Mother Xia.
King Xiaowen of Qin Yingzhu had more than twenty heirs.
Qin Yiren is just one of them.
The reason why Qin Yiren was able to ascend to the throne and become the king of Qin was because under the recommendation of Lu Buwei, he recognized King Qin Xiaowen's queen, Mrs. Huayang, as his mother.
Mrs. Huayang had no heirs, but she was very favored.
This way.
Under the influence of Mrs. Huayang, Qin Yi was appointed as the crown prince and became the new king after the death of King Qin Xiaowen.
Therefore, Qin State now has two queen mothers.
One is Mrs. Huayang, and the other is Qin Yiren's biological mother, Xia Ji, the Queen Mother Xia.
However, Queen Mother Xia came from a humble background, she was just a dancer, and she had no powerful support behind her.
Therefore, she has relatively no sense of presence in the palace, unlike Mrs. Huayang, who has a strong interference in Qin's political affairs.
certainly.
She no longer has any sense of existence, and she is also Qin Yiren’s biological mother.
If Empress Dowager Xia hadn't spoken out, Hou Wu, who had taken the blame, would have been beaten to death.
He didn't die, this life was really picked up.
"I have seen what you are capable of, and you have good eyesight. Don't tell me this, I believe you are qualified to be the shopkeeper of Lu Buwei's Zhenbao Pavilion."
"Okay, let's talk about the reward. If it suits you, you can stay."
Zhang Heng was quite satisfied with Hou Wu.
"Master, this is what I think..."
Hou Wu was a little embarrassed: "I entered the palace as a child and never became the master. Now that I have come out, I am thinking about returning to the palace.
There is no point in getting monthly money.
I think, I have the confidence to help my boss keep the business going well. Do you think this will work? I won’t take the monthly payment, but you will take care of my two meals. It’s the end of the year, and if the business is booming, what do you think?”
"Look at it?"
Zhang Heng thought to himself: "This is to get a share!"
It's not impossible.
As long as business is booming, work hard.
At the end of the year, Zhang Heng would not treat him badly. After all, the wool comes from the sheep. He would be given a 10% bonus and treated as if he had invested in his skills.
"It's not impossible."
"I'll give you one share. If I make a profit in a year, I'll give you a 10% bonus."
"But the ugly words will come later."
"You work in a daze for a year, and at the end of the year, you make no money. What do you say?"
Zhang Heng looked at Hou Wu.
"Pack up your bed and get out."
Hou Wu refused to give up: "Say one more word and I will be a eunuch in my next life."
"happy!"
Zhang Heng likes to make people happy: "Sign the document. This document is evidenced by heaven and earth. As long as you do your job well, I will not treat you badly."
Hou Wu did not hesitate and quickly wrote his name: "Hou Rui."
After finishing writing, he patted his chest again and promised Zhang Heng: "My boss, just wait and see from tomorrow on. My eyes are extraordinary. As long as I look at them carefully, they will turn into gold.
No matter how weird the treasure is, you can tell its whereabouts with just one glance, and I even gave it a nice name."
