The Wei River runs through the south, Zongshan reaches the north, and the mountains and rivers are sunny, so it is called Xianyang!
Xianyang City was built a hundred years ago under the supervision of Wei Yang during the period of Duke Xiao of the Qin State. After its completion, the capital of the State of Qin was moved here from Yueyang and established as the capital. Subsequently, King Huiwen, King Wu, King Zhaoxiang, King Xiaowen, King Zhuangxiang and others expanded the city of Xianyang.
The scale is getting bigger and bigger, the order is getting better and better, and the palace is getting more and more luxurious and elegant. Looking down, you can see a majestic general trend embedded in it, which has lasted for hundreds of years. During the war, the strength of the Qin State rose sharply, and the spirit of the country can be seen here.
The radius is surrounded by the Qinchuan River, which is 800 miles away, extending to the Yellow River in the east, Qianhe and Weihe Rivers in the west, starting from Jiushan Mountain in the north and Qinling Mountains in the south. The territory is vast. The entire capital city covers an area of nearly fifty square kilometers. Although it is not the peak area of Xianyang City, it can still be ranked among the top five among the countries.
Coming out of the depths of Bajun, together with Zong Qiong, the two rode lightly through Hanzhong and straight to the bank of the Weishui River, next to Xianyang. Even though the laws of Shang Jun were extremely harsh on merchants, But along the way, it was not uncommon to see groups of merchants on the wide road.
In the War of Farming, merchants had the lowest status, but this did not prevent them from pursuing wealth. As the Qin State became more and more powerful, thanks to the implementation of the military merit system, the country became rich and the people were strong, and their consumption power Not low, things from the six countries in Shandong were continuously shipped to Qin, especially Xianyang.
I have to say that the Chi Road built by the Qin State is quite good. It is about fifty meters wide. The flat road is lined with trees. This is the planting prescribed by the Qin Law. Riding on it can even Be comfortable.
It took about ten days to go down the mountain from Tianzong and approach Xianyang City. There are continuous tall city walls, dark yellow city walls and tall towers. Qin troops patrolled them from time to time. The city gate is open, and passers-by don't notice it.
The city gate is about five or six meters high and four or five meters wide. There are two small side gates next to it. They are also guarded by soldiers wearing armor and holding spears, especially the main city gate. Where the merchant team wants to enter, they must pay money.
As for the people in the city, they seem to be better off and do not have this responsibility. As they approach the city gate, more and more people are coming in and out, and their ears are surrounded by the words of the Qin Kingdom in Guanzhong.
Although Zhou Qing was proficient in the scripts of the Seven Kingdoms, he did not know many of the dialects of the Seven Kingdoms, and barely had the language of Qin. But for me, who is so wise, learning a regional language is also an extremely simple matter.
"Uncle Master, according to the message from our Tianzong people in Xianyang City, this time the Qin State recruits palace protectors and palace swordsmen, they must first enter the recruiting hall, and then be screened in the recruiting hall, and finally Entering Xianyang Palace, you will be selected by the King of Qin and the Prime Minister of Qin!"
He turned over and dismounted, holding the reins in his hand. Compared to the horse beside him, Zhou Qing's height at this moment was indeed not conspicuous, only about 1.23 meters. , looking straight from the other side, Zhou Qing's presence was basically invisible.
Entering through the main gate, Zong Qiong flicked his finger, and two Qin Banliang entered the basket at the top of the city gate without encountering any.When he was blocked, he walked directly into Xianyang City, spoke slowly, and whispered to his junior uncle.
"Lu Buwei, Prime Minister of the State of Qin, how many years has he been sitting in this position?"
When you walk into Xianyang City, you will see a flat main city street with long and thin bluestones. It is paved with bricks and about fifteen or six meters wide. There is a sewer on the edge of the street, leading to the outside of the city. On both sides are restaurants and shops with two or three floors.
The expected sounds of hawking, shouting, and shouting on the street did not appear. Even though there were not many people walking on the street, under the spiritual perception, the shops one after another did not appear. It's quite lively inside, especially in the restaurant.
"Since King Zhuangxiang of Qin passed away and Prince Zheng of Qin succeeded to the throne, Lu Buwei has been the prime minister. Counting it, it should be almost eight years. Two years ago, Xiong Qi, the king of Changping of Chu State, was named the prime minister. , but the power is still in Lu Buwei’s hands!”
It can be seen that Zong Qiong knew the news very clearly, and responded to Zhou Qing, saying that Lu Buwei was a good person back then, and he jumped from a lowly status to a lowly person. The businessman became the prime minister of the Qin State, and the prince of Qin was even called Zhongfu, with power over the world.
After being granted the title of Marquis of Wenxin, followers continued to join. They were known as three thousand followers. They were so powerful that one word could determine the life and death of the nine levels of Qin people, and one word could determine the strategy of attack. Businessmen could do this. This is the first person in ancient times.
"The nearly eight years between Prime Minister Lu Buwei and Prime Minister Changping Jun Xiong Qi are almost eight years ago!"
Zhou Qing nodded to each other and murmured in his mouth, It has been nearly eight years since Lu Xiangguo was recorded in history for ten years. It seems that his brother Wang, whom he has not yet met, is still quite capable. Lu Buwei actually agreed to the appointment of his relative Changping Jun as the prime minister.
Although Lord Changping is still the prime minister at the moment, not the prime minister, but with the support of Zizheng, coupled with the xenophobia within the old Qin people and the residual power of Chu’s foreign relatives for hundreds of years, Lu Buwei, the prime minister, It definitely won’t last long.
"Uncle Junior Master, should we go to the Talent Recruitment Hall first, or meet with the Tianzong disciples here?"
He walked in front holding the reins and looked at the Junior Master beside him. The uncle seemed to be thinking about something, and immediately said nothing. He looked around at the restaurants on both sides of the street. Noon had already passed, but there were still many people in the restaurants.
After more than ten breaths, Zong Qiong spoke again. According to the tradition of Taoist Tianzong, there is actually no habit of setting up branch points in various countries. The reason why there are disciples of Tianzong in Xianyang City is because of the small Because of my uncle.
Two years ago, Junior Master Uncle ordered Zong Quan to send some disciples to the Qin Kingdom. Of course, in name, it was to experience the world of mortals and temper their minds. However, it was not a big deal to do some small things on the side.
"Go to the Talent Recruitment Hall first, and then meet up in the evening. You can make arrangements!"
The division of locations in Xianyang City is quite simple. Enter from the south gate. It is where the industry, commerce, and residents of the city are located. The palace complex is in the east, the mausoleum complex is in the north, and the west is the official residence, military and other areas of Xianyang City.
WidthThe sound of horses walking on the broad and flat stone road is very clear. There are not many pedestrians on the street. They are all dressed in coarse linen and linen. Their financial strength is average, but their energy and energy are good.
After a hundred years of farming and fighting, ordinary residents who can live in Xianyang City must have a title above the eighth level. Having a title means having privileges. Compared with merchants with low status, although they are not as rich as merchants, But if a fight breaks out between the two sides, regardless of right or wrong, the businessman will definitely end up badly.
God merges with heaven and earth, sensing the aura of Xianyang City. Along with Qin’s victory in foreign wars and the continuous expansion of Qin’s land, the aura surrounding the entire Xianyang City seems to be different. .
The spiritual sense surges and the eyes shine. It is indeed as powerful as a dragon, with an endless ocean and the blazing sun shining in the void. It is even more like a dragon swimming in the sea, galloping at will and running rampant at will. This is the power of the country.
