Daqin: The poorest prime minister, the first emperor begged me for corruption

Chapter 66: Prime Minister Qin carved the head of the Huns King very nicely!

Since Shang Yang's reform, the people in Guanzhong have taken pride in farming and fighting, respected military achievements, and paid little attention to the affairs of merchants.

In terms of the troubled times of the Warring States Period, and with the constraints of productivity, this was a correct national policy and the basis for Qin's annexation of the six kingdoms.

But with the end of the Warring States period and the promotion of high-yielding grain varieties, Shang Yang's policy of taking pride in farming and war, and respecting military achievements... is of course still the most admirable national policy, and it will be applicable even in the end of the world.

Food and the army will always be the cornerstone of the country!

However, on this basis, if the national treasury wants to be full and the people want to be rich, they need to encourage the development of handicrafts and commerce.

Great Qin also had enough support for the handicraft industry or hundreds of craftsmen, but more of it used it to serve the country and farming and warfare.

The potential of the folk handicraft industry is still untapped. This potential can only be developed by stimulating it with frequent commercial activities and letting the people see it as profitable.

Hexi Commercial Road is an opportunity to revitalize commerce!

The auction is the key battle to open the Hexi trade route!

…

Houfu Academy.

The students took a break for many days, and the Houfu Academy became a temporary auction house.

People in Xianyang City were stimulated by the sky-high price invitations and came from all over, bringing their children with them to watch the fun.

The merchants and scholars from the Six Kingdoms held the invitations, feeling uneasy and proud at the same time. As the people watched, they were searched and inspected by the soldiers one by one, and entered through the side door of the Hou Mansion Academy.

After they entered one after another, a Guanzhong merchant and a military lord were inspected by the soldiers, and then walked into the side door.

Finally, the civil servants and generals who were in court came either on horseback, or in cars holding jade.

When the common people saw the BMWs and beautiful jade that were spread through word of mouth, their emotions were immediately aroused. They held up their children and called their friends, and crowded forward to watch.

The civil servants and military generals benefited from Qin Mo, so they did not hesitate to show off, either raising the jade in their hands to let the people take a closer look, or manipulating the divine horses under their crotches to show their majesty to the people.

The people enjoyed watching it, they cheered one after another, and the children even gave it a red slap!

Toot toot—

After the civil servants and generals entered, a melodious and low trumpet sound suddenly came from the Qin Palace.

The soldiers who were maintaining order were shaken and began to order the people watching the excitement to retreat. The middle door of the Hou Mansion Academy was also opened wide, preparing to welcome distinguished guests.

After all, the people of Xianyang had some sense. Seeing this scene, they understood that a noble person from the palace was coming, so they followed the soldiers' orders to retreat, and did not stop until they were out of the warning range.

Tap tap tap——

Countless knights of the Imperial Guard poured out from the Qin Palace, surrounded by a huge jade chariot drawn by six sweat-blooded horses, and headed towards the adjacent Hou Mansion Academy.

The people clasped their hands and bowed, and shouted salutes.

The moment the Yuyu car entered the middle gate of the Hou Mansion, the window of the car suddenly opened, revealing Ying Zheng in casual clothes, waving to the people.

Wow——

The people immediately exploded, but no one expected that Ying Zheng would come in person.

"How can a lowly businessman from Donkey Day be in the same room as His Majesty?!"

"I don't know how many treasures there are in this auction, but the emperor actually came to participate!"

"The main thing is that Prime Minister Qin has face. Otherwise, no matter how many treasures he has, the emperor will not come in person."

"Look, Prime Minister Qin is here too..."

When the people were in an uproar, someone discovered that two people were riding out of the small courtyard next to the academy, it was Qin Mo and Yu Ji.

The two of them were still dressed up in such a fashionable manner, which attracted the people to cheer again and again: "Did you see that leather bag? It is said that it contains the head of the King of the Huns!"

Qin Mo: "..."

Who said Lao Qin people are never talkative? Isn’t this rumor spread by people who have noses and eyes?

The leather pocket contains the head of the Hun King, which corresponds to his previous capture of Touman alive. The credibility is simply beyond the sky!

When Qin Mo was speechless, Ma Liu opened the leather bag and revealed the giant jade private seal inside.

The people were in an uproar again when they saw it, and some people even shouted: "Hey, Prime Minister Qin carved the head of the Huns King very nicely!"

Qin Mo: "..."

This is a hairy thing, Jubi did it on purpose!

Next to her, Yu Ji couldn't hold it back and burst out laughing.

It didn't matter that she smiled, her charming smile and her fairy sister costume made the people stare straight at her.

"She is really as beautiful as an immortal. No wonder Prime Minister Qin praised her for 'looking at the Qingren city and then the Qingren country'!"

"Didn't Prime Minister Qin tease the eldest princess a few days ago, saying, 'She's as graceful as a startling hong and as graceful as a swimming dragon'?"

"Who says no? Prime Minister Qin is very playful!"

…

Qin Mo and Yu Ji immediately entered the Hou Mansion Academy amidst the murmurs of the people.

There was a large awning set up on the martial arts arena, and merchants from the six countries who came with invitations, as well as white men from the six countries, including a few merchants from Qin, were all seated at tables and chairs outside.

Sitting inside was the invited Lord Guanzhong, and further inside were a group of civil servants and generals in court.

As for the ones at the front, they are naturally Zulong and the princes and princesses!

Amidst the sound of greetings, Qin Mo and Yu Ji walked to the front to greet Ying Zheng and his family.

"My dear... you are so... dazzling today!"

Ying Zheng looked at Qin Mo in shock, and it took him a long time to say a complete sentence.

The young masters behind him were already dumbfounded. The Tang and Song Dynasty-style silver helmets and silver armor seemed beyond their understanding of a showman.

The princesses' attention was all on Yu Ji, looking at her fairy sister's dress with envy.

Ying Zheng also turned to look at Yu Ji and said: "The way you dress up is worthy of the praise of 'Looking at the charming city and then looking at the charming country', it is not as graceful as 'as graceful as a startling giant, as graceful as a swimming dragon'"

My son Yuan Mancha."

The princes and princesses suddenly came back to their senses, and immediately looked at Yuan Man, their eyes circling back and forth on Yuan Man and Yu Ji.

As for the parties involved, Yuan Man and Yu Ji made eye contact with each other.

Yu Ji smiled reservedly, as if she was enjoying herself.

Yuan Manfeng narrowed his eyes slightly, seeming annoyed.

As graceful as a frightened giant, as graceful as a swimming dragon vs. looking at a charming city and then looking at a charming country, which one is better?

At this moment, Yu Ji, who is dressed up carefully, is naturally slightly better!

"Your Majesty, today's protagonist is a treasure from the Western Region. Seeing that everyone is impatient, will we start the auction?"

Qin Mo changed the subject and said.

Ying Zheng gave him a meaningful look, then he laughed dumbly and said: "I am a guest today, and the guest does as he pleases."

Qin Mo breathed a sigh of relief and turned to Han Fei: "Mr. Han, let's get started."

Han Fei clasped his hands to accept the order, waved to call a tattooed man, and asked him to come on stage to preside over the auction.

After the tattooed man came to the stage, he first paid homage to Ying Zheng and said tremblingly: "The grassroots people are wise, and the countryside is the head of Guizhou. If there is any disrespect, I hope your majesty will not blame you!"

This Yingbu was the later Wang Yingbu of Jiujiang.

When Yingzheng pardoned all the prisoners in the previous period and filled the area outside the Great Wall, he was doing hard labor to build the imperial mausoleum. He was also packed up and sent outside the Great Wall, and was assigned to the Hexi Kingdom of Qin Mo.

But this guy didn't want to be an honest herdsman. When he saw the caravan organized by Han Fei passing by, he shamelessly joined it. With his bravery and quick thinking, he made meritorious service outside the territory and returned to Guanzhong.

Now he can be regarded as Qin Mo’s guest!

…

Don't talk nonsense. I update twice a day, not once a day. How pitiful!
