Jagged Legion

Chapter 9 Opening up the Transportation Line

He Xiaowang's current business mainly relies on fur and wine, of which wine accounts for more than half of He Xiaowang's business. Fur is only a part-time business.He Xiaowang is now planning to open up transportation lines to the northeast and northwest.Now wine can only be bought and sold in the northern region of the Qin Dynasty, but it is still very difficult to go to the northwest and northeast regions.The Northwest and Northeast regions are both bold and unrestrained places with cold weather. The men, women and children there like to drink alcohol, and the main livelihood there is hunting. As long as He Xiaowang opens the east-west channel, he can continuously send the wine from the mainland to there. , At the same time, it can transfer the furs from the northwest and northeast to the mainland, killing two birds with one stone.Along the way, not only was there exploitation by the government, but also the threat of bandits and thieves was always on guard, but it was also huge profits, forty or even fifty times the huge profits for a single transportation.One can imagine the difficulty of He Xiaowang's decision to open up this path.Originally, what He Xiaowang was most worried about was not the bandits, as long as he dared to fight, he thought there would be no problem, but what he was most worried about was the exploitation by the government.No matter how powerful a person is, he can't compete with the state apparatus, but now He Xiaowang feels that the time has come, and a person comes into He Xiaowang's mind: Li Si.With Li Si as the king of the dynasty, these things are not a problem in the first place.

He Xiaowang decided to start with Li Si.So Li Xian was sent to the training place of Li Longxiang, and he immediately selected 100 masters to prepare to open the Northwest Passage and Northeast Passage.After He Xiaowang made arrangements, he was going to visit Li Sided's house.He Xiaowang prepared a great gift for Li Si, this He Xiaowang still thought a lot, what exactly is he preparing for him?Ready for gold and silver treasures?Li Si certainly does not lack these.

He Xiaowang took out the "Shang Jun Shu" written by Shang Yang himself from his collection of books. Synthesis followed by analysis, or analysis followed by synthesis, both inductive and deductive, echoing from beginning to end.Sometimes metaphors, parallelisms, and comparisons are also used. "Laimin" uses the fable of "the people of Qi have Dong Guoshang" to enhance the effect and image of the reasoning.The explanatory style includes "Ken Ling", "Jin Ling", and "JingJin", which are interpretations of Qin government orders.The content of the debate includes "Gengfa", which expounds the central argument through dialogue between characters to refute each other.It can be said that "The Book of Shang Jun" is a masterpiece through the ages, but it was abolished in the Qin Dynasty, and He Xiaowang spent a lot of money to buy this book.He Xiaowang also took out Guiguzi's monograph "Guiguzi" and "The Seven Techniques of Yin Fu". "Guiguzi" focuses on strategy and speech and debate skills, while "The Seven Skills of Yinfu in This Classic" focuses on the way of rejuvenating the mind and renewing energy. The first three chapters of "The Seven Techniques of Yin Talisman" explain how to enrich the will and cultivate the spirit.The last four chapters discuss how to apply the inner spirit to the outside, and how to deal with external things with the inner mind.He Xiaowang took these books as a gift, which can be said to be worth more than any gift.The reason why He Xiaowang chose these books is also because the Qin Dynasty "ruled the world according to the law" and paid attention to severe punishment and strict laws.It was also rumored that both Li Si and Han Fei came from Guiguzi's sect, and these gifts were exactly what Li Si wanted!

He Xiaowang decided to take these as gifts because of his cruelty.He Xiaowang used to be a top student and a lover of books. He Xiaowang regards these books as his treasures, but for the sake of his future plans, he has no choice but to part with them.He Xiaowang asked a servant to follow him to Li's mansion with books.When he arrived at the gate of Li's mansion, He Xiaowang saw that there were heavy soldiers guarding him. He Xiaowang's servant went up and said, "He Xiaowang in Xianyang City is begging to see Mr. Li Si. Please tell me." A man who looked like a military officer replied: "Which He Xiaowang? That He Xiaowang who is rumored to be the richest man in Xianyang?" The boy said, "That's right." The officer said, "Although your master is rich, so what? Mr. Li wants to see you." Did you just meet? Get out of here!" The boy was about to step forward and curse, but He Xiaowang stopped him.He Xiaowang took out the jade pendant on his body: "Do you recognize this thing?" When the officer saw the jade pendant, he immediately shortened his body by half: "Oh, why didn't you say it earlier, if you knew it was you who came in person, I wouldn't Do you want to report? Your lord does not remember the faults of villains! Master Li has already ordered that as long as someone holds this jade pendant, you don’t need to report, you can go directly! You forgive me! Please come with me, please. The little guy will lead the way." The boy looked at the officer: "Hmph, it's really not a thing!" The officer didn't dare to say anything.He Xiaowang said: "You wait here and lead the way ahead." The officer looked so daring and waited on him carefully.

From a distance, I heard Li Si reciting a poem: "Guanguan Jujiu, in the river island, a fair lady, a gentleman is so good." He Xiaowang immediately followed up: "My brother is so elegant!" Li Si was about to reprimand Who was making noise here and saw that it was He Xiaowang who immediately smiled and said: "Oh, Brother He, I miss you so much. You haven't come to see me for a long time after I leave the restaurant that day!" He Xiaowang : "I'm troubled, I came here to visit you specially today, and I came here to ask for a glass of wine." Li Si laughed: "Prepare the food and drink, I will drink two glasses of wine with Brother He. You must have a gentleman's wine! Let's go, let's talk in the study After sitting in the study, He Xiaowang said: "Today, my younger brother also prepared a small gift for my brother. I was so happy to receive such a good gift from my brother that day!" Li Si heard that He Xiaowang prepared a heavy gift, his face changed, and he said slowly: "Brother, it can't be gold and silver treasures, right? I don't think Brother He is going to do something?" He Xiaowang said: "I knew Brother, you are an upright official. We are elegant people, so how can we send such vulgar things!? I know that my brother and I are both book lovers, so I specially selected a few books from my collection to give to my brother. When Li Si heard that it was a book, his eyes lit up: "What book? I think it's not a vulgar thing that Brother He would like!" He Xiaowang took out the wrapped book: "Shang Yang personally wrote "Shang Jun Shu", Wang Xu personally wrote "Guiguzi" and "The Seven Techniques of Yinfu in this classic." Li Si's eyes widened immediately when he heard these books: "Brother, don't be fooled by brother. I heard that these books have long been read." It's been lost! This,,,,,, how is it possible?" He Xiaowang handed the book to Li Si without saying anything.Li Si immediately opened it carefully and looked at it: "It really is! It really is! Brother He! You are such a great gift. I am ashamed of receiving it, old brother. The jade pendant I gave you is nothing, it is just a gift. A hundred jade pendants can't be exchanged for one book, any of these books is hard to come by! Let's go, let's have a drink first! Have a drink!"

Li Si could tell that He Xiaowang's books, no matter which one was invaluable, and He Xiaowang was also a book lover, the two of them also cherished each other, and they were very happy.When the wine was half drunk, He Xiaowang said: "Old brother, brother, I came today to ask you to help me." Li Si said: "I knew that brother He would go to the Three Treasure Hall for nothing, so tell me, what is it. I, Li Si, still say something in the Great Qin Kingdom, what is it?" He Xiaowang said: "The old brother also knows that our dynasty is based on agriculture, and the status of scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen is the lowest. Therefore, many things I can’t do it very smoothly. My brother, I want to transport some goods to the northwest region, but there are so many inspectors along the way, I am afraid that my goods will be swallowed up before they reach the place. Therefore, I want to get my brother’s handwriting Trouble brother." When Li Si heard this, he said, "What happened to me at the time! Although I started the country with agriculture, we have also seen that almost all the money has flowed into the hands of merchants, so it is a lowly thing. My words are wrong. Don’t worry, my brother, this is not a matter. I immediately wrote a handwritten letter, and no one would dare to check my goods along the way. Without your brother’s business, how can there be goods from all over the world in Xianyang City? Do it at ease." "Then thank you, brother!" Li Si said: "My brother, although there are no officials along the way to search and exploit, but there have always been many bandits in the northwest region, and it is not easy, but be careful." Xiao He Wang: "Thank you bro for your concern. I still have some good players there, and I can deal with some bandits. Come on, drink!" "Drink!"

It was already night when He Xiaowang went back, and he stayed with Li Si for a whole day.
