Chapter 989: Three Stinkers
It's no wonder that Zhang Liang wants to surrender, just look at Xinzheng and Luoyang to know who to take refuge in. β
A few days later, when Li Shiqi bypassed Songshan and returned to Luoyang, he saw that this big industrial and commercial city was rejuvenating, and he couldn't help but sigh......
As far as Li Shiqi knows, Luoyang's goods and colonies have also been depressed in the past few decades, and Qin Law's policy of belittling merchants and the government's monopoly on everything has undoubtedly dealt a huge blow to Luoyang's magnates and the peddlers and women of small families. This capital, where arable land was scarce and half of the city's industrial and commercial population was located, had stagnated for twenty years since the fall of LΓΌ Buwei.
Although the giants have not been directly banned, they must also rely on the government-run workshops to breathe, and they can no longer make money unscrupulously.
And after the Six Kingdoms came in, although the giants regained their social status, because of the chaos of the Chu army, Luoyang was not stable, which is also the reason why the giants joined forces to assassinate Shenyang - rulers who could not bring a stable business environment were not welcomed by the consortium.
It wasn't until Heifu's army took control of the city and introduced a new commercial policy that it brought great changes to Luoyang in just one quarter.
In order to ensure the eastward crusade of the army, the Xianyang Imperial Court directly issued an order notice to the Luoyang giants who held the workshop, hoping to use the potential of Luoyang's handicraft industry to ensure military supplies during the war.
This is very much in line with Guan Zhong's economic philosophy: there is no production without consumption.
Guan Zhong once thought: The giant coffin is a coffin, so the carpentry is also; There are many clothes, so the female workers also. Extravagance is the way to pull production. He stipulated that the sons of all princes should wear two furs made of tiger skins when they went to Qi as ministers, and the domestic doctors should wear leopard skin sleeves and leopard skin sleeves, and the middle doctors should wear leopard skin coats.
In this way, the doctors will sell their surplus food and buy the skins of tigers and leopards, and the people will hunt and kill the beasts with all their might, so that the doctors will scatter their wealth and the people will benefit from the circulation.
At present, the new economic policy finalized by Heifu, Zhang Cang, and Xiao He is also inseparable from Guan Zhong's policy: the imperial court provides luxury goods such as Shu brocade to the big merchants, which stimulates the silk weaving industry in Shu County and other places, and in Luoyang, where the government is weak and the giants are efficient, they purchase necessities, so as to stimulate Luoyang's industry and commerce, so that 100,000 industrial and commercial people have something to eat.
After coming and going, the government also collected an extra tax, which is much better than simply cutting leeks and robbing the house to grab money.
At present, the three big families in Luoyang are all working hard: the Bai family is assisting the officials in the internal history of Su to raise grain, and rebuilding a large granary in Gong County, east of Luoyang, to meet the needs of hundreds of thousands of people.
Su used the loose money borrowed on weekdays to collect silk cloth and leather from all over the world, and weaved summer clothes, shoes, and even armor in the newly set Luoyang weaving room.
The Shang Jia Shi family, starting from the car industry run by their ancestors, rushed to make hundreds of cars, all of which were requisitioned by the imperial court, pulling food and clothing, and traveling back and forth between Luoyang and the front line.
Even the people of Luoyang, who have nothing to do with these three items, can also engage in various service industries, not only the female lus who are blooming everywhere, selling fat, selling pulp, sprinkling, stomach preservation, these small businesses, since the Qin army settled in, the business has been several times better at once, and even the veterinarians in the city have been invited to work in the army with a lot of money.
Ruolu and Kaogong, which were controlled by the Gongyi and Mojia respectively, also sent people to set up a branch on the outskirts of Luoyang, and they were ordered to produce huge arrows and all kinds of military parts here to be replaced at any time, and a large number of local laborers.
The war was a catastrophe for the Yingchuan people, but Luoyang, behind the Qin army, was like Japan in the Korean War, and it was an economic booster.
This is the Luoyang that Li Shiqi saw, Heifu's 100,000 troops have not yet arrived, but the city has been prepared under the management of Sima Xin, the Shou of Sanchuan, and Chen Hui, the general staff of the Feather Wing Battalion.
Chen Hui is theoretically Li Shiqi's top boss, and everything Li Shiqi has to report to him in Yingchuan.
But Li Shiqi was originally a madman, and now he has made great contributions, so he is not so polite to Chen Hui, and when he saw Chen Hui, he said:
"The old man has not disgraced his mission, he has returned from Yingchuan, and he dares to ask where the regent has gone?"
This is not going to report to Chen Hui, I want to report directly to Heifu.
Chen Hui was originally Qin Nanyang's staff to guard Lu Qi, and it was only by lobbying Lu Qi to reduce the darkness that he got to this position today.
"Mr. Li, as far as I know, the regent has just sent a letter to the valley and arrived in Shaanxi County."
"I have something important to report." Li Shiqi was eager to seek merit, and did not want to discuss the details with Chen Hui, but made a request: "I also hope that Chen Jun will quickly arrange a manpower ship, I will go west this time, and it will only take a few days to go back and forth, and I will definitely get the order of the regent and go to Hanoi!" β
Chen Hui smiled: "What is Mr. going to Hanoi to do." β
Li Shiqi said: "I passed through Hanoi from Hedong to Daliang before, and went to test Sima Mao, when Sima Mao was already shaking, and now the situation is very different from two months ago, but if I can say it again, I will be able to make Sima Mao put Hanoi's hands in front of the regent horse!" β
"But it's not a coincidence."
Chen Hui looked at Li Shiqi: "As early as a few days ago, on Sima Mao's side, the Feather Wing Battalion and the appropriate strategist spies had been sent over. β
"What?" Li Shiqi's face suddenly darkened, and he was a little unhappy: "Who did you send?" β
Chen Hui said: "This is confidential, but since it is Mr. Li, you might as well tell me that it is Zuo Shu who went to talk about Sima Mao, but it is Zuo Shu Chang who follows He ......."
Sui He is also an old man, a Confucian scholar, and a lobbyist, and he has a sexual conflict with Li Shiqi, and he defected to Heifu a year earlier than Li Shiqi, and he is a competitor in his eyes.
This made Li Shiqi very annoyed, in his opinion, Hanoi Sima Mao, it is clear that he stepped on a good point to lay the foundation first, just like sowing seeds in the spring, just waiting for the melons to ripen and fall after the autumn, if he failed to convince him, if he was convinced, wouldn't it be in vain to pick the melons he planted!
So Li Shiqi asked unceremoniously: "Whose credit is this?" β
Chen Huiban lowered his face: "Mr. Li, the regent said that the wing camp does not rely on one person, but on the wisdom and strength of the cooperation of all people. β
In the words of Hefu, it is three stinkers, one Zhuge Liang, and the General Staff is not necessarily the top talent in the military, but it can concentrate the wisdom of many parties and do everything in it.
"What's more, the situation is unpredictable, the military situation is like fire, some time ago, General Han Xin has driven Zhao to surrender and seize Taihang and Baicheng, and Luoyang is also ready to force the boat, which can be pinched at any time Hanoi! It was Sima Mao who secretly sent someone to come over and beg for surrender, do we still want Sima Mao's envoy to stay here and wait for Mr. Li to return? β
Li Shiqi is a little difficult to deal with, but still thinks that Hanoi has a part of his credit.
"Whether there is merit or not, we will decide after the fact."
Chen Hui slowed down his tone: "It's better to be like this, from now on, the north of the river, what can you say, the south of the river, what Mr. Li said?" β
Li Shiqi gave up at this time, and left the west to report the news of Yingchuan to Heifu, but Chen Hui secretly slandered after Li Sheng left:
"Such a crazy life, greedy for merit, sooner or later something will happen!"
He also said: "The regent is far-sighted, Hei Bingtai sent spies to Hanoi a few months ago, even if it succeeds, it is also the power of everyone, how can you allow an old drunkard to invite merit alone?" β
β¦β¦
The Zhao general Sima Mao who guarded Hanoi was a descendant of the swordsman Sima Kuai, and his eldest father Sima Shang was also famous for his swordsmanship, so he became Li Mu's right-hand man, after Li Mu was brutalized by Zhao Wangqian, it was Sima Shang who sheltered the young Li Zuoche and taught him and Sima Mao to learn swords, although the two were different surnames, but they were as close as brothers.
This is also the reason why Sima Wei still insisted on staying on the canoe in Hanoi in the turmoil of Zhao State.
"I can't afford to lose Li Zuoche."
Whenever he can't persevere, Sima Wei will motivate himself like this.
But when the time entered March, Sima Wei found that he really couldn't hold on......
After the Battle of Changping, the Qin army had completely occupied Shangdang, and Han Xin drove Zhao to take the Taihang and Baicheng roads.
Although Sima Wei made Mengmen and Tianjing Pass tightly closed, he only had 10,000 people under his command and needed to defend three passes, a county in Hanoi, and a long river, which was really stretched, and finally Mengmen and Tianjing Pass were broken by Han Xin.
At this time, Sima Wei, who was attacked on both sides, understood that it was not far from the enemy's soldiers coming to the city, and he only had two options left.
Surrender Heifu, or die for the loyalty of Zhao......
At present, the envoy of Heifu had followed He to Hanoi, but Sima Wei was still hesitating, because he heard that Li Zuoche was still resisting the Qin army in Taiyuan.
"Half a year ago, I swore with Zuoche that I would guard the east of Taihang, and he would guard the west of Taihang."
"The Zhao State, which was not kept by the eldest father and General Li Mu in the past, will be preserved in the hands of the two of us, and the Zhao people will no longer need to suffer from the loss of the country. Now the left car is still fighting hard, I can't lose him......"
When he hesitated, Sima Wei asked people to find Xu Cheng, a well-known god stick in Wen County, Hanoi, and asked a question to this young female physiognomy wearing a mask:
"Dare to ask Xiangshi, if I fight to the death, can I keep Hanoi?"
