In Chang'an Nancheng, Qian Yuan was walking on the street, smelling the aroma of food coming from all directions, and listening to the cries of food not far away, with a happy smile on his face.
When the three religions defeated Qin, Chang'an became a real empty city.
Since Lin Ze planned to make Chang'an his capital, he naturally would not let this majestic city remain silent, and it was imperative to restore its vitality.
In order to restore the vitality and prosperity of Chang'an as soon as possible, Lin Ze transferred Qianyuan to Chang'an and gave him an order with a long and arduous task:
Try your best to restore Chang'an City to at least one-tenth of its original prosperity within a year at a certain cost.
For this reason, Lin Ze gave Qianyuan unimaginable support.
The government offices established by the six bureaucracies of the Western Qin Dynasty in Chang'an had to arrange dedicated personnel to assist the Qianyuan Dynasty.
Any problems that can be solved by the decision of the six departments do not need to be reported, and there must be no shirk. They will be dealt with directly and passed, and we will cooperate fully.
If you encounter a major difficulty that is difficult for the six departments to make a decision or solve, you can report it directly to Lin Ze and ask for help.
With this level of support and the unremitting efforts of Qianyuan and a group of people, the residents in Nancheng were inhabited by people who moved from other places, and the shops on the streets were filled with many profit-seeking traders.
Qianyuan made a rough estimate. If this continues, Nancheng will be restored to half of its former state in less than a year.
The east is noble and the west is rich, the south is peaceful and the north is miscellaneous. If half of Nancheng can be restored, it will almost mean that one-third of Chang'an can be restored.
Thinking of this, Qianyuan's steps became a little lighter.
At this time, a figure slowly appeared in front of Qianyuan.
Qianyuan jumped at first. When he saw the appearance of the person coming, he quickly bowed and said: "I am paying homage to the Lord of the Kingdom. I didn't know that the Lord of the Kingdom was coming. I missed you from a distance to welcome you. I hope you will forgive me for my sin."
Lin Ze didn't respond. He reached out and grabbed Qian Yuan. His body shape changed and he came to the Xianyang Palace in the past and in front of the Tomb of Emperor Qin today.
Qianyuan glanced at Lin Ze's extremely serious face and asked cautiously: "May I ask if the Lord of the Kingdom has brought his ministers here, but do you have any orders?"
Lin Ze stretched out a finger, lightly tapped Qian Yuan's head, and said calmly: "Immediately use all the generals left in Chang'an from the Ministry of Industry to build an altar here according to this drawing."
"I only give you two days. During these two days, you should not care about anything else. You must build this altar without any deviation. Do you understand?"
Qianyuan's heart trembled when he heard this, and he bowed down very solemnly and said: "I will definitely live up to the expectations of the king."
Lin Ze waved his hand and said: "Go."
As Qianyuan bowed to leave, he was immersed in flipping through the drawings that were engraved in his mind. It was clear at a glance which materials should be used for each part of the altar.
After checking it out, a look of determination appeared on Qianyuan's face, and his cultivation level exploded. He quickly rushed to the government office where he worked daily and issued orders one after another.
Looking through the layers of buildings, looking at Qian Yuan who was entering the state, Lin Ze nodded slightly and turned around to enter the Shuhou Mansion.
Lin Ze summoned the three Jinyi Guards Qianhu who were staying at the Shuhou Mansion, and ordered with a cold look: "The Jinyi Guards sent a message to all the officials above the fifth rank in Guanzhong and rushed to Chang'an within two days. We have important matters to discuss."
"If anyone refuses to come, or neglects to come late, he will be punished for the crime of deceiving the emperor and rebelling, and the nine tribes will be exterminated."
The three Jinyi guards looked stern when they heard this and did not dare to neglect. They quickly responded: "I will send someone to deliver the message right now."
On that day, hundreds of riders set off from Chang'an and headed to various places in Guanzhong.
…
The next day, at Lin Ze's request, Jin Yiwei sent a bunch of news about Chu, Han and South Vietnam.
The most eye-catching thing is that Chu State officially signed an agreement with Han State and South Vietnam to cease war and not to invade each other.
According to Jin Yiwei's inquiries, Chu State strongly demanded that Han State and South Vietnam compensate for the losses suffered in this war. Under some pressure, Han State and South Vietnam held their noses and accepted.
Faced with huge compensation, South Vietnam behaved very calmly, but the Han side made a big fuss.
A group of Han officials headed by Li Shiqi were extremely active, taunting and sarcastically accusing them of not negotiating peace with Chu.
Even during a court meeting, Li Shiqi pointed at Zhang Liang and Xiao He's noses and called them thieves of the country.
Lin Ze's expression changed when he saw this, and he summoned a Jin Yiwei to give instructions: "Let the secret agents lurking in Qidi find an opportunity to give Zhang Liang and Xiao He a big gift in the name of Chu State."
"The operation should be as secretive as possible. After the incident is completed, let them withdraw to Guanzhong as quickly as possible to avoid being captured by the Han Kingdom."
Qianhu, the Jinyiwei guards, were stunned when they heard this, and couldn't help but remind them: "If the king wants to sow discord, he should let the spies escape to Chu State."
Lin Ze shook his head slightly: "Just do as you are told."
The Chu-Han peace talks had the shadow of Confucianism and Biyou Palace behind them, so it was of little use to sow discord.
It is obvious that a group of Han officials represented by Li Shiqi were dissatisfied with Zhang Liang, Xiao He and Confucianism for some purpose.
Regardless of whether Li Shiqi and the others were really thinking about Liu Ji or were trying to fight for power and gain, Lin Ze's move just gave them a way to vent their dissatisfaction and make the water in Han Dynasty muddy.
Li Shiqi and other Han ministers will definitely rush to the front for their own benefit.
As long as there is internal discord in the Han Kingdom, even if it will eventually be calmed down by Confucian intervention, it can buy Lin Ze a lot of time.
What Lin Ze lacks most now is time.
In such a state, the threat of Han Dynasty was greatly reduced. On the other hand, South Vietnam did not seem to be strong, but in fact it was monolithic, which made Lin Ze a little afraid.
In other words, a group of insane believers may cause greater harm than a sane army.
Just as Lin Ze was thinking secretly, Hui Shi stepped in and muttered: "Junior brother is also in the second realm of heaven and human beings, and he is also a disciple of the Taoist palace. How can there be any danger?"
"That bastard Zhuang Zhou has to let me go out to protect you personally. It's simply unreasonable."
Lin Ze couldn't help but burst out laughing when he heard this. Hui Shi said it was wrong, but he honestly did as Zhuang Zhou said. These two are really good friends who love each other and kill each other.
Hui Shi keenly felt that Lin Ze's smile was a little strange, and asked doubtfully: "What is the junior brother laughing at?"
Lin Ze coughed lightly and said, "I am very happy to see my senior brother again after a long absence, so I laughed."
Hui Shi looked weird and asked: "What does it mean to be in love and kill each other? What does it mean to be gay?"
Lin Ze's face darkened, and just when he was about to speak, Hui Shi quickly explained: "This is definitely not mind-reading. It was calculated by me, senior brother."
Lin Ze rolled his eyes and said, I believe you. From the day he first met Hui Shi, he suspected that Hui Shi could read minds and other secret skills. Unexpectedly, he got confirmation today.
In addition to the incredible secret skill of mind reading, how many miraculous calculation abilities are there that even gay friends can calculate?
Hui Shi continued: "That's not the case. Junior brother, please listen to my explanation."
Explanation? Just quibble.
Lin Ze quickly stretched out his hand and said: "Stop, senior brother has such a secret method, and junior brother admires it very much. Could you please stop using it on junior brother all the time?"
Seemingly unable to fool him, Hui Shi sighed slightly and said, "I really can't read minds. This is actually my innate magical power, and this innate magical power is not under my control and I often activate it on my own."
Lin Ze had a look of surprise on his face when he heard this. How could this come true? It's amazing.
Hui Shi coughed lightly and said, "Junior brother, tell me what you have to say. When this magical power is activated, it will usually last for a period of time."
When Lin Ze heard this, without even thinking about it, he disappeared in front of Hui Shi. Just kidding, a person who can read your mind is standing in front of you and asks you if you are panic?
Lin Zeke also had many shady plans. If Hui Shiquan actually found out about him, what would happen?
Hui Shi was stunned for a moment, then chased after Lin Ze in the direction he left, and said loudly: "Junior brother, don't run away. If you have anything to say, please speak up."
Lin Ze replied: "Senior brother, this talent is too terrifying. Junior brother can't bear it."
Hui Shi was a little helpless: "Senior brother, how can I protect you personally?"
Lin Ze replied while escaping: "Didn't Senior Brother say that Junior Brother is actually very safe and does not need personal protection? Junior Brother thinks that Senior Brother is right."
Hui Shi stopped and said, "That's okay. Personal protection is not much different from staying in Chang'an for protection. I just don't know when junior brother plans to leave Chang'an and return to Dao Palace?"
Lin Ze stopped a thousand meters away from Hui Shi, thought for a while and replied: "In order to stabilize Guanzhong, junior brother has to make some arrangements. It will take about three to four days. Is it okay to follow senior brother back to Dao Palace on the fifth day?"
Hui Shi nodded slightly: "Yes."
After saying this, Hui Shi turned around and disappeared, unknown to where he went.
Lin Ze looked at the direction Hui Shi left with an unclear expression. At this moment, Hui Shi exposed his mind-reading skills and allowed himself to take the opportunity to stay away from him. Was it unintentional or premeditated?
Lin Ze, who didn't dare to take risks, suddenly lost some of his luck, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
