The ancient Bao ramp road, the exit of the Guanzhong side, in front of the Yixian Xiegu Pass.

A huge convoy of heavy supplies came from afar.

At this point in time, most of the ancient plank road is still flat, spacious, and can be used by large armies to start marching.

Historical records record: the plank road is thousands of miles, all-encompassing, only praise the oblique hub of its mouth, and 'business and travel joint, faintly exhibited, crowns and belts staggered, square wheels one after another'.

The reason for this situation is that 30 years ago, in order to strengthen the control and operation of the southwest region, the Han dynasty was presided over by Zhang Tang to rebuild the plank road and widen the pavement and road of the plank road.

Even, Zhang Tang once had a big brain, planning to dig a canal between the Baogu Valley and the Xiegu Valley, and use water conservancy to transfer grain and troops.

However, it is obvious that this brain hole is the same as that of a certain Hedong county guard who opened his brain and planned to tame the Yellow River, and it belongs to a plan that surpasses the upper limit of the ability and technology of the times.

Although Zhang Tang's brain hole failed, to a certain extent, it greatly improved the traffic environment of this road.

In addition, in the upper reaches of the Guhan River, the dammed lake formed after the Mudu earthquake continues to expand northward.

Therefore, in the present, although the earthquake destroyed the once prosperous Chencang Ancient Road, the more ancient Baochuan Road has been revitalized.

The whole plank road, in addition to the Baochuan road connecting Guanzhong and Hanzhong, needs to walk more than 200 miles of rugged mountain roads, and the traffic in other sections is still smooth.

At least it can meet the needs of large-scale military operations and material transportation.

Changwen rode on a yak, humming a mountain song, wearing a silk coat, and two slaves and maids with sideburns combed to lead the yak in front of them.

He turned his head slightly, looking at the huge transport team composed of pack horses and yaks behind him, and his heart was very happy.

"I'm about to pick up the jackpot this time!" He thought in his heart: "If you don't talk about it, you can make ten times the profit!" ”

He is a native of Dian and even has some kinship with the Dian royal family.

However, in today's era, what King Yelang of Dian is all scum!

There is only one greatest master in the world - the Son of Heaven.

During the Yuan and Ding dynasties, Lü Jia, the prime minister of South Vietnam, rebelled, attacked and killed angels, assassinated kings, and resisted heavenly soldiers.

The Han Dynasty then went south to quell the rebellion, and the aftermath of AOE swept to the Southwest Yi region.

As a result, the head of King Helan, who dared to rebel against the Son of Heaven, was kicked as a ball on the ground, and the crowns of seven or eight kings, including King Yin and Tou Lanjun, who intended to disobey the Son of Heaven, fell to the ground.

The heavenly army is like a bamboo, and the countries of the southwest are trembling, and they can only shout that the Son of Heaven is Shengming, and he has become a vassal of the Han family.

His relative, Chang of the Dian Kingdom, felt at first that the emperor was far away, and the Han Dynasty could not be defeated no matter how awesome it was.

He deliberately asked the envoy of the Han Dynasty: "Ah, your Excellency, which one is bigger than the Dian Kingdom and the Han Dynasty?" ”

This kind of malicious behavior of selling cuteness soon stopped automatically and consciously.

Because, the Lao State and Mi Mo next to the Dian State (these two kingdoms and the Dian Kingdom are actually related to the same source, both were established by the descendants of the conquerors of the Chu State), were quickly destroyed by the Han army.

The people of the Dian country immediately put their attitude right.

The king of Dian not only took the initiative to go to Chang'an for the Hajj, but also asked the Son of Heaven to send officials to guide the internal affairs of the Dian Kingdom.

But the Han people are not so rare.

Although because of the well-behaved and obedient King of Dian, the Emperor of Han ordered that the Kingdom of Dian be changed to Yizhou County, but he still gave the King of Dian the seal and ordered him to continue to rule his homeland.

And the coolest thing is that he is also as malicious as the people of Dian who sell cuteness, and once said to the Han envoy, 'Which is bigger, Han or Yelang?' 'The Yarou people.

The son of the Han family spoils this small country very much.

Not only did he send ministers and officials to guide his internal affairs and grant him the seal of King Yelang, but he also established Jianwei County near the territory of Yelang Province as a fortress and administrative center of the Han family in the southwest Yi region.

Since the Han Dynasty established Jianwei County near the land of Yelang, and established Wudu County on the territory of the Baima people.

These places are all developed.

Not only did the people's lives improve, but the living standards of the aristocracy even entered the feudal society overnight.

Or the most advanced and developed feudal society!

And the kings and nobles of the Southwest Yi countries are envious, jealous and hateful of these places.

I dreamed all day long that when the Han people would also come to their own territory to set up a county.

There is no way, the countries of Southwest Yi, before the Han people came, their social productivity was equivalent to that of a primitive society, even if it was a king, it was not as chic as the life of a small landlord in the Han Dynasty.

It's a pity that the countries of Southwest Yi have missed the best opportunity.

After the Yuan Dynasty, the Han dynasty began to adjust its strategy, shrink its sphere of influence, and concentrate on managing the Western Regions and competing for hegemony with the Xiongnu.

For the mountains of the southwest, interest is rapidly declining.

Especially when the Han people couldn't find a shortcut to the body poison, the southwest region became a chicken rib.

If it weren't for the fact that Yelang and Wudu's Bai Ma Di were desperately selling cute, even the keys to the county and Wudu county, I'm afraid they would all be revoked.

In this context, no matter how cute the countries of Southwest Yi are, there is no way to make the Han people change their minds.

It is precisely because of this that when the edict of the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty spread, almost the entire southwest mountains were sensational.

From Yelang to Dian Kingdom, from Baima to Zhu and Yu.

Whether it was the nomads who were grazing herds, or the people who lived in the mountains, whether it was in the form of a state or a tribe, they all mobilized.

Frogs and squatting birds have become scarce resources.

As a businessman, Chang Wen reacted at the first time.

He was the first to prepare manpower and purchase related supplies, and the first to start preparing pack horses and yaks to transport these materials.

This allowed him to acquire the most squatting owls at the lowest cost.

His transport team only spent more than 30,000 yuan in total on the 5,000 stone squatting heads and 2,000 stone squatting orifice carried!

And on the shore of Baoshui in Hanzhong, there are more than 30,000 stone of squatting owls and squatting owls, which are piling up on the shore, waiting for him to go back and transport them!

At this moment, looking at the sparse Han family in front of him, Chang Wen knows that he has made a lot of money!

The Han people have an allusion called 'Qianjin City Horse Bone', the first person to respond to the call of the Han Emperor, will definitely make a fortune!

The yak soon walked to the gate of the Han family fortress at the foot of the mountain.

A Han army officer came forward with someone and asked, "Who are you?" ”

When he heard it, he immediately got down from the yak, stepped forward, and bowed his hand and said: "Yishang Chang's family, when I heard the edict of the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty, I asked for the head of the crane and the squatting owl, so as to lose the pass, and specially brought 5,000 stones of the head and 2,000 stones of the squatting owl to offer the Son of Heaven!" ”

When the officer heard this, he immediately bowed his hand and said, "Please enter!" ”

The sloping valley has already been ordered - all those who transport squatting owls and squat heads to enter the customs will be released!

So, the convoy of Changwen continued to move forward, and was escorted by the Han army, until it arrived at the side of the gallop more than ten miles away from the sloping valley.

This place, which has been requisitioned by the army, has been built into a huge warehouse.

As soon as the convoy entered, an official who had been waiting here for a long time immediately greeted him with a smile.

After inspecting the goods and confirming the identity of Changwen.

The official mysteriously dragged Chang Wen to a remote place and asked, "Can you resell this batch of your goods to me?" I would like to buy all ...... at a price of forty cents per stone."

"If Your Excellency is willing, this official is willing to buy it with gold!"

When I heard this, I suddenly became short of breath.

Forty dollars per stone?

In other words, isn't his trip worth millions?

He will profit dozens of times?

The nature of a businessman made him almost agree.

Fortunately, he suppressed the impulse in his heart, shook his head resolutely, and said: "Although he is a barbarian, he is also a world by Hanen, the father and ancestor of the villain, all served the Han envoy, my ancestor Chang Sheng, was a guide for Tang Weng, and my father Chang Man, for the Han Zhong Lang general, Jianjie envoy under the door cattle and horses!" ”

When he said this, Chang Wen couldn't help but raise his head and was extremely proud.

Tang Weng is Tang Meng, Yuan Dingzhong was the envoy of the Han Dynasty, and he sent an envoy to the Southwest Yi countries, and once represented the Han Emperor to travel the suzerainty of the Southwest Yi countries.

In the southwestern Yi countries, Tangmeng is very popular.

In particular, Yelang and Dian are all known as 'Tang Weng'.

There have even been people who have been worshipping this messenger who brought the blessings of the Han family to the southwest mountains.

And the Zhonglang General and the Jianjie Envoy are the late Han family great writer Sima Xiangru.

Don't look at Chang'an, the image of this writer is linked to a weak scholar and an ungrateful man.

But in the southwestern Yi countries, the status of this great writer is comparable to the status of Confucius, which is respected by the Han family.

Sima Xiangru in those days, once walked the road in the southwest region and rested in the pavilion, which is still a local holy relic.

It is because it is this great writer who made the nobles of the southwest countries appreciate for the first time what is called 'Han family style' and what is called 'gentleman's demeanor', and everyone is ashamed of themselves in front of him.

And Chang Wen has always been proud that his ancestors were able to serve these two big people!

Saying this, Chang Wen said righteously: "Therefore, although the villain is despised, he also knows the righteousness!" Loyalty, dedication, and dedication to the Son of Heaven, the luck of the villain, Hugh said that gold, that is, all the wealth in the world, is placed in front of the villain, and the villain will never accept it! ”

When the official heard this, he sighed and regretted at the same time, and said, "It's this official Meng Lang!" ”

I really feel sorry in my heart!

But there is no way, this kind of thing is forced to buy and sell, the emperor can do it, but others can't do it, whoever does it will die!

What's more, this Yishang still has a background!

"Fools have foolish blessings...... the official thought in his heart, he knew very well that this Yishang was going to be sent this time!

The Son of Heaven of Chang'an, this time the reward for all the people who come to Guanzhong with their heads and squatting is not five baht coins or gold, but a title that is stronger than five baht coins and gold!

It's a good thing that money can't buy!

What's more, people in Chang'an City are now panicking.

I don't know how many aristocratic businessmen are busy looking for things to pat their ass.

Therefore, the first person to respond to the call of the Son of Heaven to carry a head and squat into the customs will definitely be rewarded handsomely.

At that time, the Son of Heaven called on merchants all over the world to donate property to fund the military.

Bu Shi's first response, because he was loved by the Son of Heaven, and finally worshiped as the imperial doctor!

This time, if he can use the money to buy this batch of squatting birds and operate them, whether it is for his own use or to sell them to the Minister of Chang'an, it will be a matter of infinite benefit!

It's a pity!

Thinking like this, he had to take out a silk book from his arms, hand it to Chang Wen, and said, "Your Excellency, please look at the rewards listed on this silk book, you can choose to cash it now, or you can choose to accumulate it and cash it in the future......

Chang Wen took the silk book, and after just one glance, he knew that his choice was extremely correct!

Because, the emperor of the Han family gave the highest reward for this luck and squatting into the pass - Fengjun!

Although it is only the lowest, Zuo Shu is the chief of the king, and there are only fifty households.

But that's also a feudal king.

You can write your name on the worship post, you can enter and exit the official office of Chang'an Jiuqing, and you can write the feudal monarch who says things.

What's more important - the Han family feudal monarch belongs to the high-ranking nobles, and is qualified to send his sons and nephews to the army, and even the forbidden army to study and gild.

And for a Yi merchant like him, if the emperor of the Han Dynasty is crowned as a feudal monarch, then the opportunity is equivalent to a carp jumping over the dragon gate, and he has the qualifications to establish a country in the southwest, or even compete for the throne of the king of Dian!

You must know that now in the entire Southwest Yi Kingdom, the genuine high-level nobles sealed by the Son of Han Tianzi are only five fingers!

Most of the monarchs did not even have the qualifications to be recognized by Chang'an and allowed to enter the Hajj!

If he has to be crowned the king of the Han Dynasty, I don't know how many kings of the kingdom will cry and shout, marry the princess to him!

"I'm going to get this reward!" At this moment, I often hear that my heart is burning with a raging fighting spirit.

He didn't even look at the other rewards, and said directly to the official: "The villain chooses to accumulate and then cash!" ”

Now, he only has in his mind the standard of the head and squatting owl that the feudal monarch needs - 200,000 stones!

It does seem like a lot.

But it's not too much!

He still has 30,000 stone reserves on the shore of the water.

That's one out of seven.

And then go desperately to buy it, and just bring this sloping valley to it.

For the sake of the princess, for the throne, and for the sake of becoming the king, he took the opportunity to attach that kingdom to the Han family, and then washed his hands ashore and became a prince of the Han family.

Chang Wen decided to fight!

"200,000 stones may not be enough ......for insurance," Chang Wen thought to himself, "I must ensure that I can carry as many boats and squatting ducks here as possible!" ”

Back then, the King of Dian and the King of Yelang, relying on selling cute and pretending to be stupid, successfully got into the car of the Han Dynasty, were crowned kings, and were given seals.

From then on, hugging the thighs of the Han Dynasty, you can sing songs night and night, without worrying about what is slow in the country to seize the throne.

But now the road of selling cute and pretending to be stupid has been exhausted.

So, if you want to succeed, you have to think differently.

Maybe selling loyalty is a new way......

It's a pity that I don't know that at this time, along the plank road and the Yan road, the Han family opened the news of the Fengjun reward, which has spread to both sides of the Min River, the Han River, the Qianjiang River and the Jialing River, and even to the north and south of Daze in Khotan.

Even the people of Hakuma have heard of it.

Now his competitors are increasing every day.

Even the slave traders of the servant countries have now stopped the slave trade and have begun to turn to digging and squatting.

Selling slaves can only make money.

Transporting the head and squatting into the customs, but you can get the title of the feudal king.

And in the Southwest Yi countries, there is a chieftain and leader with the title of feudal monarch of the Han family, who can prove that his bloodline is noble - see, I am the xx monarch canonized by the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty, and I was born noble!

This will play a vital role in their rule!

As a result, on the vast river, the number of bamboo rafts loaded with squatting owls and knots is increasing every day.
