Qin Dynasty snare people

Go to the General's Mansion.

Meng Tian's younger brother Meng Yi, who led Luo Yan in, was a more refined young man than Meng Tian. Compared to Meng Tian's sharp temperament, his temperament was more reserved, like a scholar.

It's a bit similar to Luo Yan, just cleaner.

Of course, how you understand this cleanliness depends on the individual~

Luo Yan and Meng Yi are very familiar with each other, and they often communicate with each other in the past. In terms of status, Luo Yan is a head above Meng Yi, but in private, they are friends of the same generation.

Chatting all the way, we soon arrived at the backyard and met the old general Meng Ao.

The old man Meng Ao is almost eighty years old, but he is still full of energy and energy, especially his eyes, which are not as turbid as those of a normal old man at all. They are sparkling and quite frightening to children.

"I've met the General!"

Luo Yan walked over, saluted the old man respectfully, and said.

"Okay, there are no outsiders here, so there is no need to do this."

Meng Ao waved his hand and signaled Luo Yan to get up, and at the same time continued: "Tell me, why are you here at my house? Not to mention you are here to visit me, you are a very busy man~"

After saying that, he touched the beard on his chin and looked at Luo Yan with a smile, as if to tell Luo Yan that I have seen through you.

"Come to give a gift to the general."

Luo Yan said with a smile.

"A gift? What gift?"

Meng Ao looked at Luo Yan strangely. Luo Yan had already sent the New Year's gift in advance. What other gifts could he give?

"General, do you remember the Chamber of Commerce I created?"

Luo Yan was not polite to Meng Ao, and sat down opposite Meng Ao. The two parties were very familiar with each other, and there was no need to worry about these trivial matters. Meng Ao was born in the army, and he didn't like this in private.

"Chamber of Commerce? Of course I've heard about this... I heard that this Chamber of Commerce is making tens of thousands of dollars a day and is so jealous~"

Meng Ao's eyes flickered for a moment, and he was a little confused about Luo Yan's purpose, so he could only follow Luo Yan's words.

He had never underestimated Luo Yan.

This kid is quite smooth and sophisticated in his behavior, he is a little fox.

"Everything is for Qin."

Luo Yan said smoothly, paused, and then revealed the fox's tail that came this time: "I wonder if the general is interested in getting a share of the pie?"

"What do you want to do, kid?"

Meng Ao was stunned for a moment, looked at Luo Yan with a serious look, and asked in a deep voice.

"I want the general to cooperate with me and set up checkpoints at major checkpoints in Qin to record the quantity of goods exported from Qin. Anyone who exceeds a certain amount will need to pay a certain amount of export tax, and this amount of money is roughly the total value of the goods. Thirty percent of the money is considered as a bonus given by the Chamber of Commerce to the military, so we can’t let the people in the military work in vain.”

Luo Yan smiled and told his purpose.

He planned to help merchants from various countries raise the price of goods. Anyway, the source of goods was in Qin. If he didn't know how to do this kind of monopoly business, then what else would he do.

With the Qin State behind us, there is no need to explain the truth, let yourself decide the rules.

From the beginning, Luo Yan had no intention of selling these goods to ordinary people. The people he was eyeing were the dignitaries of the six countries.

Refined salt, white paper, exquisite glass utensils, etc. How can ordinary people afford these things?

As for the ironware, Luo Yan would crush it to death and it would be impossible to send it out on a large scale.

As for the small scale, if the other party buys it, they will buy it, but the price is higher.

"You can just report this to your Majesty. Why do you need to tell me about it?"

Meng Aohu's eyes narrowed and he said coldly. He felt that Luo Yan's words were a bit cliquey for personal gain.

He didn't mind the last medical report, but how could he not care about something like this involving huge amounts of money? The Meng family would not have taboos on this. How could Meng Ao not see through this at his old age.

"This is also what the king means."

Luo Yan was not angry when he heard this, but his smile became a little thicker and he said slowly.

The Meng family is indeed loyal to Da Qin, so many things will become more convenient.

"What?!"

Meng Ao's eyes flashed, staring at Luo Yan, and began to guess the meaning of Luo Yan's words.

Luo Yan looked at Meng Ao and didn't let him think too much. He explained to himself: "After the crowning ceremony, the king must take charge of the government. After taking office, he will face a problem, that is Lu Buwei. The military must be controlled by the king. The general understands What do I mean?"

"The loyal king of the Meng family for generations!"

Meng Ao said in a deep voice.

"What about the rest?"

Luo Yan asked calmly.

"Meng Yi, you go out first."

Meng Ao pondered for a moment, and then suddenly said, he felt that some of the words that followed were not suitable for his grandson to hear.

Luo Yan shook his head and said: "There is no need for this, old general. What I say on behalf of the king represents the king's attitude. The king values ​​and trusts the Meng family very much. Meng Tian and Meng Yi will definitely be reused. , this is the king’s promise, and it is also my promise!”

"The Meng family must die for the king!"

Without any hesitation, Meng Ao knelt down on one knee and raised his hands to Xianyang Palace and shouted softly. Meng Yi on the side also followed the same example, but his attitude was extremely serious.

There is absolutely no hint of hypocrisy in this statement.

"Old General, please rise."

Luo Yan quickly stood up and helped Meng Ao up, and then continued: "This dividend is not for General Meng, but for the military generals and soldiers from the king. This is the king's favor. In the future, Qin will need them to expand its territory. It's just a mere gift." What does money mean?"

"I understand what the King and Tutor mean. I will definitely handle this matter!"

Meng Ao said in a deep voice.

"After your Majesty takes charge, you still need to rely more on the old general!"

Luo Yan didn't let go, he continued to support Meng Ao, held his arm tightly, and said in a deep voice.

"Please rest assured, Taifu. No one in the army dares to act arrogantly while I am here."

Meng Ao said with a solemn face.

"In this way, the king can take care of the affairs of the court with peace of mind. The king's idea is to stabilize the internal affairs first, and then send troops to the six countries. The world has been in chaos for long enough. The king plans to complete the task in his generation that all previous kings have not completed. I hope the old general can help me with this matter!"

Luo Yan looked at Meng Ao sincerely and persuaded.

"Why do you need to say this, Taifu? This is my duty."

Meng Ao patted his chest and said, full of energy.

"Please, old general!"

Luo Yan smiled and chatted with Meng Ao about the details for a while before he excused himself and left. He still had some things to deal with today.

Meng Ao asked Meng Yi to send Luo Yan away. He sat alone in the courtyard, facing the cold wind, but his chest was burning. He clenched his fists and said with some emotion: "My late king, there are people who will succeed the Qin Kingdom. I just hate it." I can’t live another thirty years, so let me take a look at the unified scenery of the world on behalf of my late king!”

He knew that his body could not last for a few more years, and his only hope in the past few years was to see Ying Zheng grow up and show some of the edge that a king should have.

The national power accumulated by the kings of the past dynasties is very powerful, but if there is no emperor to match it, how can we complete the great cause of unification?

Lu Buwei is loyal even though he holds power in both the government and the public, but how about someone else?

It takes several generations of struggle to accumulate national strength, but it only takes one generation to destroy it. There are too many examples of this.

This is what Meng Ao is most worried about. He is worried that Ying Zheng will not be able to control the government and the public, and that he will be overwhelmed by Lu Buwei and Zhao Ji.

Now, Meng Ao finally felt relieved...

. . . . . . . . . .

After coming out of Meng Ao's mansion, Luo Yan also breathed a sigh of relief.

The Meng family is considered the most important piece of the puzzle for Luo Yan. Without Meng Ao's support, many things can only be discussed. The power of the military is roughly controlled by Meng Ao Wang Jian, Lu Buwei and others. With Meng Ao's support, If another part is bought with money, the part controlled by Lu Buwei will be insignificant.

Wang Jian has always been neutral and only loyal to Qin. As long as Ying Zheng sits on the throne, Wang Jian will not rebel.

This is what Luo Yan analyzed during this period.

In this way, Ying Zheng's control has been stabilized by 70%. After all, the military is the most important link. If there is a problem with this link, Ying Zheng's future will be difficult.

Historically, Yingzheng relied on Changping Jun and Lu Buwei.

Needless to say, Mr. Changping was a young man. It was too late for Luo Yan to guard against him. How could he be given a chance to interfere in military affairs.

As for Lu Buwei, it's hard to say for the time being. I can't understand his attitude.

"The situation in Daqin today is much better than it was in history. I've done enough for Ying Zheng. Now it's up to Ying Zheng himself. Hey, I've been exhausted physically and mentally. It's not in vain for Ying Zheng to fight against him. Where can I find my favored ministers like me?"

Luo Yan murmured in his heart and couldn't help but praise himself.

"Wang Jian should be back at the end of the new year, so we can get in touch~"

Luo Yan quickly thought of Wang Jian.

Wang Jian was the most ruthless person in the previous generation of the Qin State. Except for Li Mu of the Zhao State, it is estimated that no one else could be his opponent.

Wang Jian in history was even more of a smart man.

"It's hard to fool smart people..."

Luo Yan muttered.

. . . . . . . .

Just when Luo Yan was struggling with Wang Jian's affairs.

Far away in Xinzheng, South Korea, in the backyard of Zilanxuan.

Several people were sitting on their knees and listening to Nong Yu playing the piano. The sound was like running water, and it seemed that the music could be integrated into their own bodies and minds.

After a long time, the song ended.

"Miss Nongyu's piano skills are getting more and more amazing, and she can be regarded as the number one piano player in Korea!"

Han Fei opened his eyes, shook the wine jue in his hand, looked at the elegant and refined Nong Yu with admiration, and said with a smile on his face, appreciatively.

Wei Zhuang glanced at Han Fei indifferently and poured cold water on him: "There is only more than a month left before you go to Qin as an envoy."

"Do you want to accompany me?"

Han Fei blinked, looked at Wei Zhuang, and asked.

"No time."

Wei Zhuang said indifferently without thinking. He is now an official in Zuosima, South Korea. His status is not as good as before, but he doesn't have so much time. What's more, this time Han Fei enters the Qin Dynasty, South Korea also needs people to guard it, and the others cannot suppress it. , only you can take charge personally.

"It seems that only Miss Zi Nv can accompany me. Tsk tsk, I really don't know how happy Brother Luo will be when he sees Miss Zi Nv!"

Han Fei looked at the charming imperial sister in purple and teased.

Zi Nu rolled her eyes at Han Fei, and the figure of Luo Yan appeared in her mind involuntarily. She hadn't seen him for several months. She didn't know how Luo Yan was doing now. A touch of tenderness flashed through her beautiful eyes...

…

At this moment, Luo Yan was holding Tian Mi's waist and singing a classic old song "Horse Galloping":

I want to gallop my horse across the endless sky~

The wind and rain rolled down all the way, and a rainbow rose~
