"I'm looking forward to your return every day."

On the first day of the first month of March, Xianyang Xicheng, Heifu and others came to Xiao Tao, who had not seen him for a few months, behind him was a long procession, part of the lieutenant army that went south when Bashu was in the dust, escorting the goods from Bashu - the Shu brocade of the cart, the color is rich, the pattern has strong Bashu characteristics, and there are heavy copper coins that are strung together in strings and boxes......

In front of Heifu, Xiao Tao also stumbled to report the current situation of Shu County: "...... Regent, Jinguancheng has resumed production, and even night work. ”

Shu brocade is the fist product of Shu County, although there are a lot of silk circulating in this world, but after two years of war, the production of brocade in the Central Plains was interrupted, and the peaceful Shu took the opportunity to occupy the market.

As the so-called "Ox embroidered duck brocade, lotus algae Wen", it is very popular with the upper class. At present, not only the inventory during the war has been shipped out, but the weaver girls of Shu County are still producing in a steady stream, and in order to meet the demand, they continue to be concentrated together to weave even at night.

As a luxury, Shu brocade can be used as currency to spend and exchange for food. After the promulgation of Heifu's new commercial policy, for more than 20 years after Qin Shi Huang came to power, the tycoons of Luoyang and Hedong were forced to pretend to be suppressed for a long time...... No, consumption** has skyrocketed.

They are happy to exchange the grain for the world-famous Shu brocade - the giant must think clearly, if they must keep the grain and not exchange, it may be followed by trumped-up charges and Heifu's big scissors.

In addition to Shu brocade, the imperial court urgently needed copper coins.

"I didn't expect Yandao Copper Mountain to be able to produce so soon."

Heifu was very satisfied with the speed of Xiao Tao and Li Ling, Yan Dao was in Yingjing County, Sichuan in the later generations, there was a big copper mountain, and no one knew how much mineral deposits it contained. I only know that from the beginning of the silkworm bush and fish in the ancient Shu Kingdom, the Shu people have had countless wars with the surrounding tribes for it, and for thousands of years, the slag left over after mining and smelting has been all over the mountains. Sanxingdui and Jinsha are still lying quietly in the ground, and most of the brilliant cultural relics and copper materials come from here......

This is also before the Qin annihilation of Chu, the main source of raw materials for the entire Qin State to cast weapons and half two coins, historically, to the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty's favorite minister Deng Tong minted money in Yandao, there is still a proverb: "Deng's money, all over the world."

But now, it's cheaper for Heifu.

The sealed wooden box was pried open, and in addition to the shock-absorbing straw, it was full of strings of heavy "five baht coins", because half a tael of money was still slightly difficult to use, and it was inconvenient to exchange, Heifu asked Shaofu to send people to Shu County, using the local copper mountain, to cast a new money, weighing five baht, called "new money", which circulated at the same time as the old money, and stipulated that two new money for one old money.

It seems that the black man miscalculated the math, but the coinage is like this, it has no value in itself, its value is agreed in the official contract, and the black man sets the price for it, which is how much.

What's more, the five-baht coin is quite exquisitely minted, the proportion of copper coin is reasonable, and it is not shoddy in order to reduce costs, and it is written with the four seal characters of "the first year of regency".

With the efforts of Shaofu and Zhisu Neishi, the price of grain was pressed back to one stone and 100 yuan, and each family kept enough rations, and the government forcibly purchased them at parity, and then Zhisu Neishi stored them in various warehouses and transported them to Kanto by relay method to support Han Xin and Dongmen Leopard, as well as the 100,000 troops that Heifu was about to levy......

In fact, Shu County also produces a large amount of grain, but as a bulk cargo, it is not suitable for taking the plank road, it is more convenient to transport it to Jiangling by boat, and then send it to Hengshan, which is being restored and constructed, to help the refugees who were disturbed by Xiang Yu's attack and far away from home, as well as the army stationed in Nanyang, to help Guanzhong share part of the military food.

The money and food are sufficient, and the conditions for launching a unified war are being met one by one, but what Heifu is looking forward to the most is actually Xiao Tao himself.

"Shu County has Li Ling, whose ancestors and grandchildren are all Shu chiefs for three generations, Ba County has Zhou Chang with a strong personality, Hanzhong has a good warehouse, and Liangzhou has no worries."

"It's Xianyang's side, Xiao He is steady, Zhang Cang is knowledgeable, and Lu Jia is resourceful, but they are all civil ministers, and I need a trustworthy military official to guard Guanzhong when I go east."

Xiao Tao is undoubtedly the best candidate, Heifu had earlier appointed him as a "lieutenant", in charge of the Jingshi, and was the garrison chief of the capital, equivalent to the governor of Jinwu and Jiumen.

In extraordinary times, the extraordinary system is used, and the power given by Heifu to Xiao Tao is even greater.

"Han Xin is the commander of Lang, Dongmen Leopard is the captain of the guard, and Zhao Tuo is the internal history, but they are all foreign generals, their duties, the entire internal history, the defense of Xianyang, and the safety of my family are borne by you, the lieutenant!"

Xiao Tao spit out a word "Nuo" heavily, after so many years, he still stuttered when he spoke, but this word was extremely clear and said quite simply!

Heifu understood that Xiao Tao looked much more reliable than himself, and from the early years when Heifu was still the pavilion chief, Xiao Tao pretended to be a group of people in the blind mountain and bluffed the mob.

During the extermination of Chu, as Heifu's right-hand man, Xiao Tao did not have the courage of the East Gate and the wisdom of Li Xian, but he was always the one who held a bow and arrow, silently guarding Heifu, and was not good at attacking, but whenever someone wanted to harm his companions, he would not hesitate to stop him.

After guarding Changsha, Dingbashu, and supporting the military operations of Xiangyang and Wuguan, Xiao Tao has been working hard and never disappointed Heifu.

Such a person, Heifu is very relieved to hand over his back to him.

What's more, in addition to Xiao Tao guarding the bright place with a lieutenant army, there is also Ji Ying with the black ice platform, as a shadow, to assist Xiao Tao in the dark, they will sniff out all traitors, and both sides will eliminate them together!

One light and one darkness are enough to control the situation in Xianyang.

And if someone stays, they are about to leave, and Ji Ying soon came to report that Ziying had left Xianyang......

Ziying has been a lot more honest since he was given the meaningful title of "Chang'anjun" by Heifu.

As Zongzheng, he executed the orders issued by Heifu at a glance, including moving the prince Jiang Lu and the three sons of the generals to go to Lingnan to be the lord of a small town, and also including the removal of the Yan Dao Yan clan who "plotted rebellion", he did a good job, and it seemed that he was afraid that he would end up in the same fate.

But Heifu has never been reassured by the person who killed Hu Hai, he must put an end to all hidden dangers, but he doesn't want to be inseparable from the winner in front of him, and suddenly change internally.

So Heifu announced, let Zong Zhengzi infant go to Longxi County Xitui Palace to worship the ancestors of Yingqin, although Xitui is the Qin people's Longxing place, but very remote, located in the mountains, there is Longguan as a block, it is difficult to return to Xianyang, this is actually exile.

"What did Ziying say?" Heifu asked Ji Ying that he didn't pretend to send the child, but he didn't know if this grandson would frequently look back at the city that he would never come back to on the road.

"Ziying asked the minister to bring the words, and he said, thank you to the regent." Ji Ying repeated.

"Thank me?"

"However, thanks to the regent, let him leave Xianyang, this city of deceit, Ziying said that he should have left long ago since he was born, but he was always pulled back, and now he has fallen clean, and he is gone, like a fish getting out of the abyss......"

This seems to be a heartfelt statement, and I don't know if this is true or fake.

"Do you want to ......" Ji Ying's hand swiped down coldly, although Ziying did not leave home when he was in Xianyang, and put an end to all the activities of the royalist party before and after the Yuan change last year, but the civil and military officials of the Heifu department are wary of anyone surnamed Ying, let alone his only surviving grandson in Xianyang.

Heifu shook his head: "Just send someone to keep an eye on it, there are Gu worms in the belly of the child, go to Xitui, lack of medical treatment, and live for a short ......time."

"This is the one person who makes me feel uneasy, and he has gone."

"But there is still one person left, and it is difficult for me to deal with it, and it is not to kill, and it is not ...... to stay."

Reese! There is still the ability to make Heifu have worries, and the only one left is Li Si, who was respected by Heifu as the Taifu after stepping down from the right prime minister, and his theoretical status is second only to Heifu's "Taishi".

Li Si is different from the Ying family surnamed Ying, who was completely defeated, his existence represents a large number of subordinates and generals, the best way to deal with it is to deal with Ziying and exile them, but what excuse should be used?

What Heifu didn't expect was that Ziying only walked on his front foot, and he received a note from Li Si on his back foot......

The whole text is crooked and slanted, no longer the style of the great calligrapher, and I don't know if it is really old and my hands are shaking, or is it deliberate?

After reading it, Hefu was pleased with Lees's acquaintance and marveled at his acuity.

Heifu raised his head and looked at Li Yu, the court captain who wrote on behalf of his father:

"If you want to go to Cai Dongmen to chase the cunning rabbit with the eldest son, this is really what the old lady wants?"
