Prime Minister of Great Qin

Chapter 176: Chaos Qin's Strategy! (beg)
Xianyang.

The sun climbed up to the distant mountains in the east, and the cold spring breeze stirred up light dust.

Orange-red soil mist rises from both sides of the Weishui River, covering the nearby mountains, rivers, cities, fields and forests.

Xianyang's four-door archery tower rises majestically, guarding the palaces and pavilions of the central imperial city. In the red light and purple mist, it is the market in the sky. , the avenue in the city has already been full of cars and horses, and people in the city are in a hurry.

at the gate of the city.

A carriage drove in slowly.

Passing through the farmers working at sunrise, also passing through the workshops in the city, and passing through the bustling city, and finally landed in a remote shop.

The door of this mansion shop has already been opened to welcome all kinds of people. In the early morning, several servants in the hall were sweeping the courtyard, running around and doing all kinds of work.

The day of Xianyang began.

Japan and China.

The city is still buzzing with people.

However, the inside of the mansion was very quiet.

A guest house was extremely quiet, and there was only one middle-aged man sitting in the room. He was wearing a long robe, his skin color had already faded from fairness, and became a little more brown, but his eyes were full of wisdom.

He sat on the table, not letting go of the scroll.

Soon.

There was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, he followed the prestige, only to hear a 'crash', the door was pushed straight open, and a middle-aged man over fifty years old quickly entered the room.

He was not in a hurry to say anything.

Instead, he hastily closed the door and window, and then said excitedly: "Brother Zifang, the news we heard in Kanto is true, Guanzhong has really caused a catastrophe, and now the city of Xianyang is raging against the sky, and it is faintly uncontrollable signs, God help us too!"

The man at the table drooped the bamboo slips in his hand slightly, without showing much joy on his face, he said in a deep voice, "Brother He, can you explain in detail the information you have found out."

"It should be so." He Yan nodded repeatedly.

He looked around the room, drank the bowl of soup on the case happily, and sat across from Zhang Liang's big case. The two sat opposite each other, and He Yan said excitedly: "Brother Zifang, there is really a big problem in Guanzhong this time." Problem."

"Thousands of tons of salt and iron sink into the water."

"This is the livelihood of hundreds of people."

"It's been ten days since this happened, but Tyranny never gave any response. Now the citizens in the city are panicking. It will be spring plowing soon. Without salt, the plowing will be ineffective. Without farm tools, the tens of hundreds of acres of land rely on the past. The bone lei and stone lei can't be cultivated at all, and the yield will be greatly reduced."

"Guanzhong is going to be chaotic!"

He Yan was so excited that his hands were trembling when he spoke.

But even so, the excitement was hard to hide.

Zhang Liang frowned, and said in a concentrated voice: "Qin Ting didn't take any action, where did you get the news?"

He Yan laughed loudly, and said indifferently: "I still need to inquire about this? Everyone in the city said so, if the government really took action, would they still be so outraged? Would they still be so panicked?"

"Now the panic in the city has formed, and it can't be reduced in a short time."

"When I was inquiring about the news earlier, I secretly instigated a few people to attack the government offices of Baoqin, and also smashed the salt and iron shops in various places. Whether there is salt and iron in Guanzhong, Baoqin and these merchants know best Yes, if there is no response after some actions, it is enough to prove that the matter is true."

"even."

"This is the truth!"

He Yan snorted coldly, with strong sarcasm in his eyes, and said contemptuously: "Baoqin has been too domineering these years, he really made himself the master of the world, and even tried to fish the world at will, what did they do some time ago?" Guan Shanhai', the salt merchants and iron merchants have been tossing enough."

"As a result, merchants are vegetarians?"

"A shipwreck came directly to Baoqin. Now Baoqin is sending people to investigate, but what's the use of it? Even if it is found, can it solve the salt and iron issue?"

"If Baoqin didn't engage in this set of 'official mountains and seas', and each salt merchant and iron merchant operated their own business, how could there be a farce where the salt and iron accumulated for several months would all fall into the water?"

"All of this is the tyrant's own fault!"

"Suicide!"

Zhang Liang was silent, and he warned: "You must be careful when you do things, and don't expose yourself."

He Yan smiled and nodded quickly: "Don't worry, I know that I am wanted by Baoqin and I am in Xianyang, how can I hide my identity strictly, Baoqin doesn't know about our coming to Xianyang."

talking.

He Yu couldn't help but sneered: "The officials of the Qin Dynasty are really depraved. When they wiped out us, they were extremely sharp. They made all kinds of insidious tricks. Now something happened in Guanzhong, but one It's really shameful to pretend to be deaf and dumb."

"But it worked out for us."

"We have been working on chaos in the past, but we have never found a way."

"it's good now."

"The Qin people took the initiative to deliver it to the door."

"If we don't take it, won't we make the world laugh at us?"

"Right now the city is full of chaos, and there are faint signs of being uncontrollable. When the city becomes more chaotic, even if Bao Qin takes action, it may not help. Moreover, no matter how violent Qin takes action, it will not be able to solve any problems. Yan Tie The absence is real."

"Unless Tyranny can conjure up salt and iron, Guanzhong is doomed to chaos."

"It's okay to mess up, it's okay to mess up!"

He Yu couldn't help but let out a long roar of excitement.

Seeing that He Yu was so excited, Zhang Liang frowned even tighter. He felt that something was wrong. Qin Ting's indifference seemed too outrageous, not at all like Qin Ting's past style.

Even if Qin Ting's life was worthless, he would not be so ignorant.

During the drought in Guanzhong that year, Ying Zheng was not so ruthless. All of this was unusual.

It's understandable if it's an official office like this.

But the entire Xianyang government office is like this.

It's very wrong.

He Yu didn't think so much.

He only knows that their opportunity has come, and they must seize the situation of the chaos in Guanzhong this time. As long as there is chaos in Guanzhong, their chances of restoring the six kingdoms will undoubtedly increase greatly.

He looked at Zhang Liang and asked, "Brother Zifang, the situation in Guanzhong is gratifying now. I wonder if you have any good ideas that can help our Six Kingdoms go further?"

Zhang Liang thought for a while and nodded.

He pondered for a while, put down the bamboo slips in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "The Qin State is stronger than the army. As long as the army is there, it will be difficult for me to shake the Qin State. At present, most of the Qin army in Beiyuan and Nanhai are from Guanzhong. Such a difficult matter, once the matter is known to the army, it will surely shake the hearts of the soldiers."

"At that time, the hearts of the people will be uneasy, and the combat power will be greatly reduced."

He Yu nodded and said, "Good."

Zhang Liang stood up, paced around the room, and continued: "But there are some rumors in the city, such as the government's private possession of a lot of salt and iron, especially the relevant officials, who secretly corrupted and colluded with the government and businessmen, which finally led to this disaster. The anger of the Qin people was transferred to the government."

"Deepening suspicion and distrust between each other."

"The government and the people are hostile to each other and are regarded as enemies. How can such a country be safe for a long time?"

"Cai!" He Yan's eyes lit up.

Zhang Liang hesitated for a moment, and said in a concentrated voice: "I don't know the situation of the merchants at the moment, but judging from the cautiousness of the merchants during this period, I am afraid that the merchants may not be willing to cooperate with Qin Ting because of the heavy pressure from Qin Ting during this period. Therefore, the salt and iron in the hands of salt and iron merchants may not necessarily be released to the market."

"The merchant is cunning, so he probably won't make a move."

"I just don't know whether the salt and iron sunk in the shipwreck in Huai County. If not, there may be many variables, but no matter what kind, the merchants should not expose it so early. With Qin Ting's Cruel and cruel, if they knew it was a man-made thing, no merchant would be able to escape."

He Yu nodded and said, "Businessmen won't help Qin."

"Some time ago, the merchants in Qidi rioted because of Guanshanhai. Although it was suppressed by the Qin court, the attitude of the merchants was obvious. I am afraid that the Qin merchants also felt resentful about this, otherwise there would be no such incident. The thing is, it's just that we are in the middle of the pass, so we can't be like Qidi."

"But the hatred for Tyranny is the same."

Zhang Liang lowered his eyebrows and pondered for a while, then thought of a strategy, raised his head and said, "In addition to these, we should also spread this matter to the counties and counties in the Guandong, especially the counties and counties adjacent to Guanzhong."

"It is rumored that there is a shortage of salt and iron in Guanzhong. I am afraid that they will ask for salt and iron from the surrounding areas. At that time, the counties and counties near Guanzhong will suffer because of this. In order to avoid their own accidents, the counties and counties near Guandong will follow. The scramble for iron will also intensify, and the Qin court will become more alienated."

"There are signs of turmoil in all parties, how can Qin Ting take care of it?"

"As long as there is one thing that is not handled properly, there will be tongue-in-cheek, and if the army is strong, how can the Qin court be able to stop the raging people?"

"How can the world not be chaotic?"

"Great kindness!" He Yan couldn't help shaking his arms.

However, he didn't want to waste any more time, so he said hastily: "I'll arrange it now. Now that Baoqin can't react in time, I can't wait like Baoqin."

"Haha."

With a hearty laugh, He Yan left the room.

Standing tall, Zhang Liang listened to the bits and pieces of words coming from outside the house, but the melancholy on his brows could not go away.

He always felt that Qin Ting's behavior was weird.

But what exactly is weird.

He couldn't think of it for a while.

He closed the door, sat down on the mat again, and said with a frown: "What is the government's intention? Could it be that it is so arrogant? But it's only been a few years, and Qin Ting will degenerate so quickly?"

"And isn't Fusu rumored to handle this matter?"

"Don't he care about that?"

"Where did all this go wrong?"

"There is something strange!"

Zhang Liang frowned.

He thought about it carefully in his mind, but he still didn't have a clue, everything was moving towards turmoil, and there was no sign of Qin Ting at all.

None of this is normal in itself.

Sitting for a long time.

A flash of inspiration flashed in Zhang Liang's mind, Zhang Liang stood up suddenly, and said, "If the government did all this intentionally, or even just sat on and idly by, what is the reason?"

"Qin Ting is really not afraid of backfire, or has he already thought of a solution?"

"It's weird."

"Government. Government"

Whisper a few times.

Zhang Liang's brows furrowed more and more.
