System: I let you have children, not fight for hegemony

Chapter 287 There are merits and demerits

Compared to going to Xianyang, Xiao He naturally wanted to stay in Bashu.

The atmosphere in Bashu is more relaxed, making it easier to show off your skills.

With Xiao He's help, Han Fei's efficiency in handling trivial matters was greatly improved, and therefore gave Liu Ji, who recommended Xiao He, a lot of good looks.

The sunset was like fire, and the melodious bells rang out in the capital city in the deep dusk. This was the sound of the city gates about to close.

"The city is closed at sunset, and pedestrians and carriages are the last to enter and leave..." the gatekeepers shouted in unison.

An endless stream of carriages, horses and pedestrians returned with their loads, like a long colorful river, passing through the tall city gate and radiating in all directions.

"What did your uncle bring back from Chu?"

"Hey, don't mention it. This silly boy actually brought back peacock feathers. The caravan that came back from Baiyue last time brought back so many peacock feathers, and even many live peacocks. Peacock feathers can't be sold at high prices now."

"When the caravan returns, your elder brother is away on an expedition. How do you know? Besides, peacock feathers are still a luxury item and are valuable."

Pedestrians say something to each other, exchanging knowledge with each other.

Many fish stood on the high city wall, standing on tiptoes and looking out: "Why haven't they come back yet?"

At the end of the line of sight, smoke and dust billowed, as if a large number of people were galloping.

The Qin soldiers guarding the city gate immediately cheered up, raised their horns, and waited for the signal from the observers on the turret. Is it an enemy or a friend?

"They are coming!" Unlike the nervousness of the Qin soldiers, Liu Ji was very happy.

He vaguely saw a familiar flag.

"Nvjun, we are back!"

"Ms. Jun, we are lucky to have lived up to our fate!"

From far away, the cheers of the crowd mixed with the sound of horse hooves could be heard.

Upon hearing the familiar Bashu accent in Qin's language, the gatekeepers immediately relaxed and became curious about who the visitor was. They even asked the Marquis of Ding'an to greet him personally.

Soon, the gatekeepers were stunned by what they saw.

I saw a large group of fat and strong war horses, galloping towards them, causing the earth to tremble, as if they were an earth dragon turning over.

"Nvjun! Wushi Luo is back!" After a few years, Wushi Luo once again stepped into this familiar yet unfamiliar land.

What is familiar is the feeling and the spirit of the pedestrians, but what is unfamiliar is the development and changes of the city.

The capital city became more and more prosperous. At the beginning of its construction, the huge capital city still seemed a bit empty. Looking back now, the capital city is packed with people, and the auxiliary city outside the capital city is comparable to the main cities of other vassal states.

This is the foresight of Marquis Ding'an!

Wu Shiluo was filled with admiration in her heart. When she saw Nujun hurriedly walked down the city wall, before she could get closer, he knelt heavily on the ground and choked on his words: "Nvjun, I..."

Many fishes hurriedly helped Wu Shiluo up, with red eyes, and a thousand words turned into one sentence: "Thank you for your hard work."

Over the years, Wushiluo never came back. He drifted outside the Great Wall, risking his life to make deals with the Xiongnu nobles, and then gave the horse he had finally selected to his younger brother, who was sent back to Bashu.

Although he relied on his intelligence to build a fortune that rivaled that of the country, he always kept in mind who he was working for.

At the beginning of his business, even with the reputation of the Bashu Chamber of Commerce, Wu Shiluo still encountered many difficulties. He had to bend down to do some things, and the process was even called undignified.

"But I know that every time I bend down, the lady will definitely get it back for me in the future!" Wu Shiluo said at the reception banquet. "That's right. At first, the Xiongnu nobles used to be far away from Bashu and often bought and sold by force. When the news came that your lord flooded Daliang City, they no longer dared to do this again!" The little shepherd boy who stole cattle in the past became the Wushi An important right-hand man.

At the reception banquet, people exchanged glasses of wine and laughed happily.

The horses provided by Wu Shiluo made great contributions to the battle against Chu. Everyone was generous with their compliments and congratulations.

After Wu Shiluo became a big businessman, he heard more good words than the stars in the sky, but none of them were as good as the praise at the Jie Feng Banquet.

This is the affirmation from the family and the best response to the boy back then!

When everyone else had drunk too much and was helped to the guest room to rest by the servants, only Wu Shiluo and many fish were left in the hall.

The hall suddenly became quiet, many fish were drinking wine leisurely, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Wu Shiruo made a sound, knelt down in front of many fish and bowed his head: "Sir, this is the account book of the caravan."

Many fish walked slowly in front of Wu Shiluo, squatted down, and picked up the account books on the ground.

The outer cover of the ledger is wrapped with a layer of shiny sheepskin, and the spine is connected in series with tough woolen threads.

Many fish walked to the bonfire that was lit to celebrate their return in accordance with the custom of Wu Shiluo's hometown, and threw the ledgers into the bonfire.

The sudden rising flames made Wu Shiluo sweat profusely.

"It won't happen next time." The firelight shone on the faces of many fishes, flickering brightly and dimly.

What responded to many fish was Ushiluo's deeply bent back.

"Since you said in your letter that you are here to choose goods, then choose carefully." Many fish watched as the tongues of fire swallowed up the ledger bit by bit, and the air was filled with an unpleasant burnt smell.

"Here!" Wu Shiluo added, "The Hun nobles love tea and silk porcelain very much. Bird feathers from Baiyue are also very popular."

"You shall not sell salt or iron."

"Here!" Wu Shiluo's cheeks were as red as his own shame.

The female monarch had known for a long time that there was something wrong with her account book, but she still gave herself dignity.

If you don't cherish the opportunity, I'm afraid the next time you will be on the sword.

Wu Shiluo had no complaints about this, because if it were him and his subordinates dared to embezzle so much money, they would definitely kill him alive!

Wu Shiluo really didn't dare to do it anymore. The poor suddenly became rich, and the poor and lowly people suddenly ascended to high positions. He was so proud that he was completely awakened by a basin of cold water at the feet of the queen! I'm just lucky that I didn't make an irreversible mistake!

Wu Shiluo thought of Zhao Mu of Zhao State, who wanted to buy the best horse. He had been fooled by lard at first, but he was a little shaken. This time when I go back, I must reject him!

Many Fish asked Wu Shiluo to go back to rest, but he continued to work by candlelight.

The battle in Xianyang came to an end. In the end, Qin Wangzheng did not choose "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals". Lu Buwei knew that the situation was over, so he took the initiative to resign and became a wealthy man in Xianyang City.

Then, a series of personnel changes occurred in Xianyang's political arena.

The King of Qin ordered Wang Wan to be the chief official, Li Si and Xunzi jointly formulated the etiquette system, appointed Wang Wan as the prime minister, Li Si as the chief official, appointed Zhao Gao as the Zhongche Mansion Order, in charge of the Fuxi Order, and appointed Wei Liao as the Guowei .

In addition, there is also good news.

The fate of all living things depends on floods and droughts, and the key to controlling disasters lies in rivers and canals. The Zheng Guo Canal led by Zheng Guo was finally completed ahead of schedule!

Just in time for a wave of spring plowing.

It is said in the world that Qin’s destiny lies with him.
