Chu and Han contend for the throne

Chapter 289
Jiangzhou, the county seat of Berkshire.

Early this morning, a luxurious carriage made of golden nanmu wood slowly drove up in front of the Sheriff's Mansion. The next bench was placed behind the carriage, the door of the carriage opened, and a young woman with Huaxin walked out slowly from the inside.

The young woman's hair was pulled high, revealing a slender and noble jade neck like a swan's neck.

Although the young woman was wearing a moon-white dress with a straight train, she still couldn't conceal her graceful and graceful silhouette. The places that should be convex are convex, the places that should be warped are warped, and the places that should be thin are thin. Her skin is more than snow, like new Peeling lychees can be broken by blowing bombs, and the five tubes are even more exquisite, especially those big eyes that seem to be able to talk.
Such a beauty, several guards in front of the Sheriff's Mansion had already stared straight at her, and one guard even let out a sigh of relief.

The young woman smiled sweetly and was not annoyed by it.

In fact, the atmosphere of men and women in the Qin and Han Dynasties was extremely open. Man said that these guards just stared straight at them. Even if they had the courage to step forward and make fun of them, the young women would probably not be angry. Of course, if the guards If they want to do something else, such as touch the young woman's little hand, then it will definitely not work.

When the guards were about to get into trouble, the coachman had already stepped forward and bowed and said, "I'm sorry to bother you to report on your behalf, just say that Mrs. Qin from the Longevity Qin Family came to visit Governor Jin."

Longevity Qin family? !The faces of the few changed slightly when they heard the words, and then a guard turned and entered the gate.

In less than a moment, Jin She, the governor of Bajun, hastily greeted him from the gate. Seeing the graceful young woman standing on the steps, Jin She hurriedly cupped her hands and said, "Mrs. Qin?!"

Mrs. Qin slightly bent her knees, and said in return, "I've seen the sheriff."

Jin She shook his hands repeatedly, and said repeatedly: "I can't, this county can't accept such a big gift from my wife."

Jin She didn't mean to be modest, but she really felt that she couldn't afford it. Don't look at the charming young woman in front of her, but her identity and background are really extraordinary.

Speaking of the Qin family, it is impossible not to mention Ba Widow Qing in the pre-Qin period. Ba Widow Qing was a young widow and created a huge family business. In his later years, he was admitted to the Xianyang Palace by Qin Shihuang for the elderly, which can be said to be extremely favored.

After Qin's death, the Ba family changed their surname to Qin, which means not forgetting the old Qin.

After Liu Bang entered the pass, he made three chapters with his fathers and elders in Guanzhong, and treated the gentry in Guanzhong with great courtesy. He made great efforts, so the Qin family in Bajun received great courtesy from the King of Han.

However, it was not because of this that prompted Jin She to step down to welcome him.

The reason why Jin She was downgraded to greet her was because Mrs. Qin in front of her was a master of medicine, especially good at alchemy. Last year, there was a great epidemic in Ba County. If Mrs. Qin hadn't widely used Danzhu to eliminate the epidemic, she would have died in the end. As for people, he might not be able to be a sheriff, so Jin She respected Mrs. Qin from the bottom of her heart.

After the greeting, Jin She turned around and let Mrs. Qin into the living room of the Sheriff's Mansion.

The two sat down as guest and host, Mrs. Qin said: "Jun Junshou, my concubine has something to ask, I wonder if I can accommodate it?"

Jin She waved her hands again and again and said, "Madam Qin, you are so polite, no matter what it is, as long as this county guard can do it, I will definitely do it!"

Mrs. Qin smiled slightly and said: "To tell you the truth, Junshou Jin, although my Qin family has been operating cinnabar for generations, but in the past ten years or so, I have also been operating Jiangdong's public transport paper, book lending and liquor. A month ago, my concubine ordered Jiangdong merchants. A large amount of public transport paper, books, and liquor will be sent to Bajun via Yiling Road in the near future, and the county guards will be sent to the customs to let them go one or two."

"This..." Hearing this, Jin She couldn't help being a little embarrassed. Ten days ago, the King of Han had just issued an edict that during the period when the army conquered the Huns, the counties under the rule, especially Ba County, had to close their roads and prohibit all traders from entering and leaving!This is actually a common practice, every time the army goes out, there will be such a move.

Mrs. Qin said: "If the county guard finds it difficult, then forget it."

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Qin was about to get up and leave, but Jin She hurriedly said, "Madam, wait a moment."

At that moment, Jin She recruited the servants to write the document, and stamped his own seal on the document, then handed the document to Mrs. Qin and said, "Madam, here is the document, you take it away."

Although the King of Han had already issued an edict that during the Northern Expedition to the Xiongnu, all counties had to close their doors, but this was just a routine. Jin She didn't think that anything would happen if he accommodated the Qin family once.

"Thank you county guard, I will thank you again someday." Mrs. Qin received the document and turned to leave.

Jin She kept sending Mrs. Qin out of the gate of the Sheriff's Mansion, until Mrs. Qin's graceful figure boarded the carriage, and finally withdrew her reluctant gaze, but couldn't stop thinking in her heart, this pretty widow's style is really alluring, It's a pity that she is the widow of the Qin family, but he, Jin She, has no luck to enjoy it.

Xiang Zhuang took off his heavy armor and put on a businessman's attire. Surrounded by Gao Chu, Bai Lixian, Qu Bucai and a dozen of his cronies, Xiang Zhuang stood with his hands behind his back on the ancient Yiling road by the river.

When the Great Qin conquered Chu, Qin Shihuang recruited 50 craftsmen and peasants from Bashu, and forcibly carved a trail from the cliff on the left bank of the river for two horses to walk side by side. This is the Yiling Ancient Road, the Yiling Ancient Road It starts from Wu County in the west and ends in Yiling in the east, with a total length of nearly [-] miles. Most of the excavations are on the cliffs, which are extremely steep.

Looking at the ancient road winding and circling on the cliff, Xiang Zhuang couldn't help feeling a little lost.

Although the Great Qin Empire has only been handed down to the Second Emperor for more than ten years, the precious wealth left to future generations is innumerable. The passage dug on the cliff in front of us is just a small part of it!Whether it is the straight road leading directly to Jiuyuan, or the chi road connecting the countries in the Kanto region, or the Lishan Mausoleum and the Great Wall, the scale of the project is far greater than that of Yiling Road.

There are also the Zhengguo Canal in Guanzhong, the Libing Canal in Bashu, and the Ling Canal connecting the Yangtze River and the Pearl River!

Therefore, Xiang Zhuang couldn't help sighing that it was already very difficult for Chu State to mobilize 10,000+ civilians to cut dozens of giant trees from Lujiang River to make the keel of Chu boats, but the Great Qin Empire has accomplished so many masterpieces in just a dozen years. Engineering, based on what?Daqin relied on the power of the system, the power of the plowing and war system!
Xiang Zhuang suddenly had a strong urge to cry up to the sky.

In time, the state of Chu will surely be able to reproduce the glory of the Great Qin Empire, and the state of Chu will never repeat the mistakes of the death of the Great Qin II. More perfect and more scientific, in this time and space, there will no longer be a Han Empire, but only a more powerful Chu Empire!
Xiang Zhuang was distracted, but Gao Chu behind him got impatient and asked Qu Bucai, "Old Qu, why haven't the people from the Qin family come? Did you not explain clearly?"

"Impossible." Qu Bucai said decisively, "The villain made it clear in the secret letter!"

Gao Chu said: "That means the pigeon didn't deliver the letter, most likely it was caught by the eagle halfway."

"This is also impossible." Qu Bucai said without hesitation, "The villain's carrier pigeons are all specially trained. Since the use of carrier pigeons eight years ago, there has been no mistake."

"Then there is something wrong with the Qin family." Gao Chu said, "Maybe the Qin family has already sold your people."

"This..." Qu Bucai was at a loss for words. Seeing that the sky was getting dark, but no one from the Qin family showed up, Qu Bucai couldn't help himself. Could it be that there is something wrong with the Qin family?

"Stop guessing from the beginning." Xiang Zhuang said suddenly, "There can be no problem with the Qin family."

Xiang Zhuang was very sure that there would be no problems with the Qin family. Whether it was out of feelings for the old Qin or out of consideration for the Qin family's immediate interests, Chu's occupation of Bajun would only benefit the Qin family, not harm!
The new Baimo law emphasizes agriculture but suppresses commerce. Although it has greatly reduced the burden on the people of Bashu, it has seriously hindered the development of handicrafts and commerce in Bashu, and even seriously damaged the interests of Bashu tyrants. For example, the Qin family, whose cinnabar industry has almost It was completely destroyed. In the past few years, it has gradually recovered its former appearance by operating liquor, borrowing books, and transporting paper.

In fact, not only the Qin family, but almost all Bashu tycoons are looking forward to the Chu army entering Sichuan.

Under Zhou Guanfu's bloody suppression, although the powerful gentry in Guanzhong and Bashu gave up resistance, the sharp confrontation between them and the central government of the Han Dynasty has not disappeared. Under the seemingly calm water, there is actually a turbulent crisis hidden. Undercurrent, once an external force intervenes, it will immediately set off a hurricane.

Although the state of Chu also implements the national policy of uniform Yao service and equal calculation of taxes, but the state of Chu does not suppress business, not only does the state of Chu not suppress business, on the contrary it is still vigorously encouraging business. It is said that many great merchants in Jiangdong have been suppressed With the award of a noble, one can also obtain a noble title by doing business. This is something that has never happened before.

As soon as Xiang Zhuang's words fell, the faint ringing of horse bells came from the cliff ahead.

"Here they come!" Qu Bucai suddenly turned around, pointing forward and said to Xiang Zhuang, "Big... Dong Weng, the Qin family's cavalry, that is the Qin family's cavalry."

Qu Bucai didn't say anything, but Xiang Zhuang actually saw it.

Half a quarter of an hour later, a team of more than a hundred pack horses snaked down the cliff, accompanied by more than 30 servants of the Qin family, but when Xiang Zhuang's eyes fell on the leader When she was on the person in charge of the Qin family, she was taken aback suddenly. The person in charge of the Qin family...how is she a woman?And she's a glamorous young woman with a variety of styles? !
