Chapter 712 Chang'an Prosperity

On Chang'an Avenue, a group of well-equipped soldiers passed by escorting dozens of flatbed carriages.

The things loaded on the carriage were piled high and covered tightly with linen.

This kind of scene does not only appear on one street, but can be seen everywhere in Chang'an City, and there are many in Nancheng.

The people walking on the street saw so much that they couldn't help but stop, gather in small groups, and start talking.

Most of the people who were able to settle in Chang'an City had military merit, and it was easy to guess what was in the car, which was nothing more than grain, cloth, ordnance and other military supplies.

Is there going to be another war?

Some young men who are eager to make achievements have their eyes shining, thinking about where to sign up to join the army.

A businessman who had just arrived in Chang'an looked at this scene and said worriedly: "Is there going to be another war? Business is not easy to do!"

War often brings about a breakdown of order.

Once order collapses, businessmen who control large amounts of wealth are often the favorite "fat sheep" of powerful people.

The number of bandits and bandits who block roads and rob will also increase exponentially.

Among these people, in addition to those who had to live in poverty due to the war, there are also powerful people from aristocratic families who want to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune.

Therefore, businessmen were very worried about this.

Hearing the businessman's words, a young man next to him glanced at the businessman with disdain and replied: "No wonder Mr. Shang often said that businessmen value profits over righteousness. They don't even ask why they fight, and just look after their own interests."

When the businessman heard this, his face turned a little red, but he did not dare to refute. He lowered his head and planned to leave.

Because in the Qin State, merchants have the lowest status. If this merchant really wants to quarrel with the young man and bring trouble to Chang'an Mansion, the merchant will definitely suffer.

Shang Jun's reform, Qin's "emphasis on agriculture and suppression of business" is not just a slogan, but a national policy written into Qin's laws.

The businessmen's withdrawal left the energetic and eager young people with nowhere to vent.

Qin State forbids private fighting in public places. If a businessman takes the initiative to provoke and the young man teaches him a lesson, it will be a merit but no fault.

Looking at the businessman's submissive look, the young man felt a little better and said loudly to the businessman: "Don't worry, this is the champion mobilizing an army to march westward to teach a small country called Byzantium a lesson. There is no war in the Central Plains and it will not affect you.

Businessmen pursue profit."

The businessman who was about to leave brightened his eyes, turned around, walked a few steps quickly, bowed to the young man and said in salute: "This young man is polite, you just mentioned that this matter is related to the champion, what are the details?

"

The young man looked disdainful and was about to refuse, but saw the businessman bringing a bunch of copper coins to him.

"For a few copper coins, I will treat you to tea and ask for advice."

The young man swallowed his rejection directly, and his original disdain turned into a smile: "It's easy to talk, talking about the champion, but I am a famous person in the Qin Dynasty. I am known as Wu Anjun alive, Wu Chenghou..."

A quarter of an hour later, the merchants left with satisfaction after learning that these Qin troops were ordered by the Qin champion to send supplies to the Western Regions.

As long as there is no war in the Central Plains, it will not affect his business. As for the legendary master champion, why did he attack a small country called Byzantium, which has nothing to do with him?

In one day, the news that the champion general would soon lead his troops to the west and open up territory for the Qin Dynasty spread throughout Chang'an City, with many people responding.

As the protagonist of this matter, Lin Ze had already left Chang'an and came to the Western Regions.

In the Western Region Protectorate, Lin Ze sat in the main seat and casually browsed through several files recording affairs.

Li Xin stood aside, with a trace of nervousness on his face, like a student whose homework was being checked by the teacher, looking forward to and uneasy.

After a while, Lin Ze closed the file, put it aside, and commented: "It's quite satisfactory, and the performance is acceptable."

Li Xin immediately breathed a sigh of relief. The evaluation was not high, but at least it was good. His hard work was worthy of it.

Then Li Xin cupped his hands and asked, "The military advisor is here, do you have any other orders?"

After several years of experience, Li Xin's performance has become much calmer than before.

Lin Ze replied with a serious face: "I have something important to tell you."

Li Xin's face was stern and his body kept saying: "Please give me the military advisor's instructions."

Lin Ze stared at Li Xin and said slowly: "In the next period of time, countless materials and labor will be sent to the Western Regions to build cities and recruit civilians."

"You must fully cooperate with this matter without any shirk. I will have the specific location of each city marked on the map. You can build it according to the map without any discrepancies."

Li Xin thought for a while and replied with determination: "Please rest assured, military advisor, my subordinates will never let the military advisor down."

Faced with Li Xin's guarantee, Lin Ze looked at him directly and said quietly: "The ugly words are ahead, Li Xin, if you mess up this matter, I will give you a thousand acres of fertile land, and you are going to go back and retire."

Bar."

"If this matter is completed well, I will give you a huge benefit."

"Remember, the location of the city must match the location marked on the map. There must be no mistakes."

Afterwards, Lin Ze explained some details to Li Xin and left.



In the spring of the fifth year of the Second Qin Dynasty, Da Qin officials announced that one month later, His Majesty will marry the legitimate daughter of the late Prime Minister Lu's family. On that day, the whole country will be amnesty and the whole country will celebrate.

Not long after this big news was sent out, the whole city became aware of it after everyone spread it.

And spread to the entire world at lightning speed.

For the Qin State and even for the people, it was an out-and-out grand event.

All the official structures of the Qin Empire revolved around this matter.

Fengchang Mansion and Zongzheng Mansion are responsible for the preparations for the wedding.

They will follow the ancient etiquette and complete the preparations step by step such as accepting gifts, asking for names, accepting gifts, collecting taxes, and requesting appointments.

The Chang'an Mansion followed Hu Hai's imperial edict and cooperated with the Shaofu to decorate the city of Chang'an with red silk ribbons within a month to show the celebration.

For a time, countless government officials from Chang'an Prefecture took to the streets with their laborers and hung red silk and red lanterns on the branches of the roadside.

Looking all the way, everything is bright red, very festive.

Upon seeing this, the people of Chang'an City spontaneously took out red cloth from their homes and decorated their houses to celebrate Emperor Qin's wedding.

In the eyes of the people, wars have continued throughout the world since the new emperor ascended the throne. These days are much more difficult than in previous years.

Now that the rebellion has been put down and it's the new emperor's wedding, it's time to celebrate, feel joyful, and welcome the good days ahead.

A few days later, the prosperity of Chang'an City was vividly displayed through the hands of countless people.



In Xianyang Palace, Hu Hai looked at Huang Banban directing the two men to drag away the two corpses, with a faint look in his eyes: "Huang Banban, do you think I will succeed?"

I saw Huang Banban kneeling down with a plop, kowtowing fiercely and saying: "Your Majesty's plan is too risky. Please think twice."

A sneer appeared at the corner of Hu Hai's mouth: "Think twice? I don't just think twice, I think about it thousands of times. If I miss this time, will I still have a chance?"

Huang Banban was about to answer, but was rudely interrupted by Hu Hai: "If I miss this time, I will have no choice but to wait for death."

"Bang" Huang Banban hit his head heavily on the green brick again, letting the blood flow down, and said firmly: "I have always been loyal to your Majesty, please listen to me, the matter is not as bad as your Majesty imagined."

Hu Hai just smiled when he saw this: "You are just a eunuch after all, so how do you know the ways of an emperor? My father will never lie to me, so there is no need to persuade me, just go and prepare."

After Hu Hai finished speaking, he turned his back.

Huang Banban left with a look of helplessness.
