Daqin: Prince Peerless, guarding Hangu for ten years!

Chapter 318 The trigger for the destruction of the Six Kingdoms!

Yingjun took the identity card, which had the word "Businessman" written on it, as well as the seal carved by the local government.

It is no different from the identity cards used by Qin State.

Governor Gu also introduced: "General Ying, the owner of this identity is a businessman who travels to South Korea and other countries to engage in leather goods, salt and other businesses. I got it with great difficulty. After General Ying entered Xinzheng City, he had this ID badges make things easier.”

"This time this businessman has exchanged many precious leather goods from other borders and is preparing to transport them to South Korea for sale!"

"After this event is completed, I hope General Ying can say a few kind words in front of the Prime Minister. I will rely on you and the Prime Minister when I go to Qin in the future."

Ying Jun nodded slightly, with a hint of relief in his eyes: "Of course it's no problem."

I didn't expect Gu Teng to be so thoughtful.

But the reasons are also understandable.

On the one hand, it is to show off in front of Fan Sui and to get a good job when he goes to Qin in the future, but on the other hand, he is from South Korea. If he does not do something comprehensive, his life and safety will be affected if he is discovered by others. .

After introducing and familiarizing themselves with their new identities, Yingjun and the others rested in this manor that night.

The next day, under the arrangement of Governor Gu.

Three carriages loaded with fine leather goods were prepared for Yingjun and others.

At that moment, Yingjun got on the carriage, Zhao Yun acted as the driver, Dian Wei and Li Cunxiao acted as servants, responsible for driving the carriage loaded with goods, Gai Nie was regarded as the guard, and Jia Xu was The guy who manages the accounts.

After a few people got familiar with their new identities, they set off towards the city of Xinzheng.

With the road guide and identity cards concealed, Yingjun and the others easily entered Xinzheng, the capital of South Korea!
On the one hand, they entered the capital to meet Zheng Guo and recruit him to Qin; on the other hand, they entered the capital to explore the pig iron route to facilitate the transportation of the pig iron out of South Korea.

Xinzheng, as the capital of South Korea, is far inferior to the other six countries in terms of national power and territory, but the city is extremely strong and tall. Although the city is not as prosperous as Xianyang, it is also very lively, with a lot of people coming and going. I'm afraid it's also because of the birth.

Yingjun sat on the carriage, looking at the wide and lively streets paved with bluestone bricks, and couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion in his heart.

Thinking that he was a majestic Qin Guoguo in Xianyang City a few days ago, but now he has become a low-status merchant, he couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.

Jia Xu, who was sitting in the carriage with him, saw this and asked slightly in surprise: "Why is my lord laughing?"

"fine!"

Ying Jun came back to his senses, waved his hand, then looked at Gai Nie beside him, and asked, "Where are you now?"

Gai Nie glanced around and then said: "Sir, we have arrived at Huayang Street. From here, we can reach Zheng Guo's mansion in one mile."

Ying Jun nodded, took out the map given by Gu Teng, handed it to Gai Nie, and said: "Sir, you and Zhao Yun go and follow the route above to check out where the pig iron is stored. , and get to know the surrounding situation by the way.”

"Here!"

Zhao Yun immediately stopped the carriage, and then followed Gai Nie into the alley next to him.

Jia Xu, on the other hand, took Zhao Yun's place and continued to drive the carriage towards Zheng Guo's mansion.

Not long after, the carriage stopped again.

Jia Xu turned to Ying Jun who was sitting in the car and said, "Sir, we're here!"

Yingjun got off the carriage and looked at the Zheng Guo mansion in front of him. Then he gestured to Dian Wei and Li Cunxiao behind him, and then walked straight to the door with Jia Xu.

The guards at the door saw the two people approaching and immediately stepped forward to scold them: "This is the residence of Zheng Guo. You two should leave quickly."

Jia Xu quickly stepped forward and said politely: "My lord, we would like to meet Lord Zheng, and we would like to inform you that this is a letter of recommendation!"

As he spoke, he took out the recommendation letter written by Gu Teng from his body.

The guard looked at the two of them, then looked at the carriage containing leather and other goods parked not far away, then took the letter of introduction and said: "You two are waiting here!"

After saying that, he turned around and entered the mansion.

Within a moment, the guard came out again and looked at the two people waiting at the door: "Master Zheng Guo invites you!"

Then the two of them entered the mansion under the leadership of the guards, leaving Dian Wei and Li Cunxiao outside.

The mansion is not big, but the inside has been transformed into something special.

It is not as luxurious as other mansions. Instead, there are only two small fields in the entire mansion, with some crops planted on them. In the middle of the fields is a ten-meter-high and five-meter-long water wheel.

Under the waterwheel is a gurgling waterway.

The scraper scrapes water, and the water buckets are filled with water. The spokes are slowly rotated by the inertia of the water potential. Each bucket is filled with river water and is lifted up step by step.At the top, the water bucket tilts naturally, pouring water into the aqueduct and flowing to the fields on both sides.

Yingjun was slightly surprised. He was indeed a man who was good at water conservancy and could invent such a convenient tool.

It seems that we found the right person this time!
Then, led by the guards, the two came to the hall.The guard immediately saluted Zheng Guo, who was sitting above the hall, and said, "Sir, I've brought you here!"

The middle-aged man sitting above nodded slightly and waved indifferently, but his eyes were fixed on the book in his hand. On the table next to him was the letter of recommendation that Jia Xu had just given to the guard.

But it has been taken apart.

Upon seeing this, the guard bowed again and turned around to leave.

There were only three of them left in the entire hall.

Zheng Guo slowly put down the book in his hand, raised his head and looked at the two of them and asked: "County Governor Gu Teng has a good relationship with me. Since you two were recommended by him, if you have any needs, please feel free to tell me. As long as I can help, Yes, it can satisfy you all.”

Gu Teng is the governor of Xinzheng County, and has much more power than him, and he often helps him a lot.

But this year, South Korea has been facing wars many times, and the King of Han has always valued those ministers who have made meritorious deeds. Naturally, he has left out a lot of ministers who can neither make suggestions nor go into battle to kill the enemy.

I can only stay in the house all day reading books and studying water conservancy.

Ying Jun raised a smile and said directly: "Only Lord Zheng can help with this matter!"

Hearing this, Zheng Guo raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the two of them curiously.

Seeing this, Jia Xu quickly raised his hand and introduced: "The two of us are businessmen who travel around the world all year round. This is my boss, Mr. Ying."

"I'm the guy in charge of the accounts."

After hearing the introduction, Zheng Guo nodded, but his eyes were fixed on Yingjun.

Their outfits were ordinary, but they gave him a vaguely extraordinary feeling.

No matter his words, deeds, or his own spirit, he doesn't look like a businessman who travels to various countries.

But the letter of recommendation also clearly stated that the two of them were businessmen.

Zheng Guo then put away his doubts, looked at the two of them and said, "I wonder why you are here, sir?"

Ying Jun turned around and sat on a chair nearby, looking at Zheng Guo with an indifferent expression: "I heard that Mr. is good at water conservancy. I saw Mr.'s talent when I passed by the mansion just now."

"Food is the most important thing for the people, but nowadays, wars are frequent in various countries, and the people are in dire straits. They often face the situation of not having enough to eat and having nothing to eat. Since Mr. Wang is good at water conservancy, why don't you use this skill to benefit the people and make every household have enough to eat? ?”

Zheng Guo sighed, shook his head helplessly and said: "Sir, you don't know something. Nowadays, wars continue in various countries, which makes people panic. The people have no time or energy to farm, and they are all avoiding the war."

"Since Sir, you have traveled to various countries, you must have seen many scenes of uncultivated land and abandoned fields."

"Right now, the Qin State doesn't know what kind of wind is blowing. It is purchasing a large amount of pig iron, even at double or triple the price."

"South Korea is a land rich in pig iron. When the people in the city heard this news, how could anyone still be willing to farm? Some people even converted the things at home into money and purchased pig iron from others. Buying low and selling high can be seen everywhere. .”

"Mr. has been in business for many years, so he naturally understands the difference in interests."

Also!

Nowadays, the price of pig iron has reached such a level that one pound of pig iron can be sold for three taels of gold, and one pound of pig iron can be sold for several years of grain harvest. No one would want to farm.

However, this situation is exactly what Yingjun wants to see.

Ying Jun nodded and continued: "If everyone goes to sell pig iron, the land will be abandoned and the food will not be harvested. What will the people eat then?"

"At that time, food will definitely become as popular as pig iron now."

Hearing this, Zheng Guo's eyes flashed with admiration, and he said with admiration: "Sir, you are indeed a businessman who has been doing business all year round, with such a long-term vision!"

"Indeed, what you said is exactly what I am worried about, but now not only the common people, but also some officials in the court have started selling business. During this period, although the young master Han Fei also admonished the king and asked him to issue an order Put an end to this situation.”

"But the king not only refused to listen, he even scolded Young Master Han Fei. From then on, no one dared to remonstrate. This also led to the increase in the trafficking situation, which has now reached an unstoppable situation."

"Even the kings of other countries even want to send troops to attack our country, South Korea. However, Zhao and Wei are the most hateful. They are both members of the Three Jin family. Not only do they not help our country, they even use this to threaten the King of Han and make the King of Han surrender. Provide [-] kilograms of pig iron to ensure the safety of South Korea!"

"The King of Han had no choice but to agree! The [-] kilograms of pig iron left in the warehouse will be shipped to Zhao State tomorrow!"

Ying Jun was slightly amazed in his heart. He didn't expect so many things to happen in the past few days.

Now all the countries are in chaos for the sake of pig iron, and even the three Jin Dynasties are tearing apart in order to seek profits.

However, at present, the strength of all countries has suffered varying degrees of trauma, and it will take a lot of money to restore national strength.

I don’t want to let this opportunity go!
It seems that this pig iron incident was the trigger for Qin to overthrow the six kingdoms.
