After listening to the plateau's speech, Zhang Liang also looked at the plateau in disbelief, because the experience of the plateau was too unbelievable, Zhang Liang was worried that the plateau did not have this kind of experience of traveling alone, and could not get to Xianyang, if something happened on the way, it would be a disaster, then the plateau not only arrived in Xianyang smoothly, but also had a relationship with the Meng family, and was treated by the Meng family as a guest, so Zhang Liang also had to sigh: "The lord is really powerful, if the people of Jinyiwei know the way, I am afraid that they will be envious to death." ”

As an intelligence agency, it is natural to hope to establish a close relationship with the other party's high-level officials, and being able to establish a relationship with the Meng family like Gao Yuan is indeed something that Jinyiwei's intelligence point in the Qin State dreams of.

And Gao Yuanxiao had no choice but to smile bitterly and said, "It's just an accident, it's nothing?" Let's talk about the history of the house. ”

It turned out that after a night's rest, Gao Yuan got up and went out of Mengfu, came to the outer city and Jinyiwei's intelligence point in Xianyang to get in touch, and connected with Zhang Liang, in fact, Zhang Liang went all the way to Zhao is very smooth, he first arrived at Zhao Di, with the help of Zhao Di Jinyiwei, established a false identity, disguised as a small businessman, and also organized a small caravan, from Zhao Di through Hangu Pass into Qindi, and then arrived in Xianyang, and lived in an inn opened by Jinyiwei, and the time he arrived in Xianyang, It was two days ahead of the plateau.

After the two met, they talked about their experiences before they began to discuss the next steps. Because Zhang Liang came to Xianyang than Gaoyuan, and he was a caring person, although it was only two days, he turned around the main streets of Xianyang, and heard a lot of news, and had a basic understanding of the situation in Xianyang.

Gao Yuan said: "Has the Yan country's mission arrived in Xianyang?" ”

Zhang Liang said: "I heard the news yesterday that the Yan delegation has passed through Hangu Pass, and it is estimated that it will be able to reach Xianyang in two or three days." ”

Gao Yuan nodded, from Yan to Qin, that is, the distance from Beijing to Xi'an in later generations, and it is not a straight line, but first go around to Hebei, and then turn westward, it is indeed much farther than Dai County, and there are always dozens of people in another mission, and it is naturally slower to walk than a single person, so it is normal to arrive in Xianyang later than yourself.

At this time, Zhang Liang asked again: "To be able to gain the trust of the Meng family, I don't know if the lord has thought about it, how can he use the Meng family to secretly help Jing Ke?" ”

Gao Yuan shook his head and said, "I haven't thought about it yet, but now that the Yan State Mission has not arrived in Xianyang, we still have time to plan and plan, and we must come up with a foolproof strategy." ”

Zhang Liang said: "What the lord said is that this matter must be considered in the long run. ”

Gao Yuan said: "I just arrived in Xianyang, although I have a relationship with the Meng family, but it also restricts my movements, I don't know what happened to Xianyang recently?" ”

Zhang Liang said: "There is nothing big happening, but yesterday I heard that there was a vision of Jiuding placed in the temple of the Qin Palace, and now there are rumors in the whole Xianyang City, saying that it is a warning from God to the Qin State, and the Qin State is about to have a great disaster, and the rumors are full of rumors, and the people are panicking." ”

Of course, Gao Yuan knew what was going on in the Dao, but he didn't know that the other side of the Dao was in the temple of the Qin Palace, and it was Jiuding, and said: "When I entered the city yesterday, I also saw the direction of the Qin Palace, the blue light rushed to the sky, I didn't expect it to come out so soon, are you sure it happened in the temple?" ”

Zhang Liangdao: "I also saw yesterday that the Zongmiao of the Qin State was built in the northwest direction of the palace, and Qingguang did appear in the direction of the Zongmiao, as for whether it is Jiuding, it is difficult to say." Originally, I thought this was a good opportunity, if this matter was publicized, maybe it would be able to disrupt the Qin State and buy us some time, but early this morning, the Qin State Government issued an order, and the heavens issued a decree to strictly prohibit the people from talking about it, and it was forbidden to confuse the public with rumors and alarmism, and more than 30 people who discussed this matter have been arrested and sent to the north to serve as a warning to the people of Xianyang. Therefore, I asked the personnel of the Jinyi Guard not to act rashly, and to watch it for two days before speaking. ”

Gao Yuan listened, but also felt that the reaction of the Qin State Government was really very fast, although these methods are a bit excessive, but they are very effective, because in this era, the occurrence of such a strange thing, of course, will lead to people's hearts floating, and if it is not done well, it will shake the foundation of the rule, so it is necessary to use the most severe means to control the people, it can be said that the crisis control of the Qin State Government is very timely, of course, it also shows that the control of the Qin State Government, and the administrative efficiency are very strong. So he said: "You have arranged it well, since the Qin State is now very tightly controlled, then wait for a while, wait for this limelight to pass, and you can start to preach from outside Xianyang first, so that it will not attract attention, and at the same time, it can spread to places outside Xianyang and throughout the Qin State." ”

Zhang Liang said: "The lord is right, I will discuss with Jinyiwei to act, there are two other things, although it is not a big deal, but the lord should also know the way." ”

Gao Yuan said: "What is it?" ”

Zhang Liangdao: "One is that Qin Wangzheng ordered to invite the richest widow of Bashu to Xianyang to see him, participate in the ceremony of the envoys of Yan State to meet the ministers, and build Huaiqing Terrace for her to live. ”

Gao Yuan smiled: "Hasn't the Qin State always forbidden business? Why did the Qin Dynasty invite a merchant to Xianyang to attend the ceremony of the Yan State's ministers? ”

Zhang Liangdao: "The Qin State is not absolutely forbidden to trade, but there are many restrictions on the behavior and operation of merchants, and the taxes are also set higher, so the business of Qin merchants is not as free as Qi State, and Qin merchants do not have much influence on the government of Qin, but Qin's national strength is strong, Guanzhong and Bashu are rich in products, which are rare in other places, and commercial exchanges are still very frequent." However, Bashu is far away from Xianyang, and there are a lot of them, so the power of Bashu merchants is still quite strong, and the widow Qing is the richest man in Bashu, and the power is huge and important, and the Qin State cannot be underestimated, and last year she gave three thousand gold to the Qin State, which alleviated the financial crisis of the Qin State, so the Qin Wang Zhengcai treated her with special courtesy. ”

After listening to Zhang Liang's speech, Gao Yuan also secretly thought in his heart that this is in line with the facts, because commercial operation is the development of human society, and since it is the inevitable development trend after the emergence of urbanization, it is by no means limited by administrative orders, and the Qin State is of course no exception, but the Qin State has made many restrictions on commercial operations, and does not allow the power of businessmen to be strong enough to influence the government. Although the Qin State also produced a businessman-born minister like Lü Buwei, Lü Buwei's ability to gain power in the Qin State did not rely on commercial operations, but still followed a political line, which was no different from other powerful ministers.

In modern terms, the Qi State practiced free trade, while the Qin State implemented a planned economy, but from the perspective of the level of development of the productive forces in this era, the planned economy is obviously more conducive to the development of the country and society than free trade.

Although Gao Yuan successfully took advantage of the free trade of Qi and opened a trade route for Dai County to bring huge wealth and buy a large number of materials, this does not mean that Gao Yuan is in favor of free trade. On the contrary, Gao Yuan was more willing to accept the planned economy implemented by the Qin state. Although Daijun is now vigorously developing commerce, and there is a bit of free trade similar to that of Qi, this is because the comprehensive strength of Daijun is very weak now, and it must rely on the development of commerce to accumulate wealth as soon as possible, and after the plateau strikes Hao's strong force, it is unlikely that Daijun will not be able to influence the merchants of the government in a short period of time, so the plateau does not restrict merchants.

At this time, Gao Yuan said: "What is the other thing?" ”

Zhang Liang said with a smile: "It is Chun Yubo and Chun Yu Zhongxiu that father and daughter are also coming to Qin State to participate in the ceremony of Yan State's ministers." ”

Gao Yuan was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, he didn't expect this father and daughter to also come to Qin. Gao Yuan didn't know what the relationship between himself and the father and daughter was, although after the trip to Qi State, the relationship between Gao Yuan and Chun Yu's father and daughter seemed to have become a lot closer, but Gao Yuan always felt that he couldn't see through the father and daughter, but he faintly felt that Chun Yu's father and daughter didn't seem to be ordinary celebrities.

Zhang Liang has a certain understanding of the relationship between Gao Yuan and Chun Yu's father and daughter, and when he mentioned Chun Yu's father and daughter, he just tactfully reminded Gao Yuan not to show his flaws in front of Chun Yu's father and daughter.

Of course, Gao Yuan understood Zhang Liang's intentions, but although he couldn't see through Chunyu's father and daughter, he had a feeling that even if Chunyu's father and daughter found out their identities, they wouldn't tell it. Of course, it was purely an intuition, without any reason, so Gao Yuan didn't say anything to Zhang Liang, so he said: "Okay, that's all for today, I want to go back to Meng's house, now it's in Xianyang City, everything has to be careful, there is nothing else, let's not meet often, if there is something to find me, leave a code at the door of Meng's house, and I will come immediately." After a pause, Gao Yuan said again: "There is one more thing, the identity of Xia Wuhe who I am pretending to be now, immediately let the people of Jinyiwei find out and try to cover it up, and there can be no loopholes here." ”

Zhang Liang nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Gao Yuan got up and left the inn. And when he went back, Gao Yuan deliberately made a few circles to make sure that no one was following him, and then he entered the inner city.

After entering the inner city, several tower-like buildings in the palace of the king of Qin are very conspicuous, and Gao Yuan pressed the talisman on his chest, judging from the information he just got, what caused the talisman to react yesterday was the Jiuding placed in the temple of Qin Guozong, and the movement of Jiuding seems to be greater, but what is the relationship between his own talisman and Jiuding, for what will happen such a reaction, Gao Yuan is unknown, maybe only after seeing Jiuding with his own eyes, can he know the way. Therefore, Gao Yuan glanced in the direction of the palace again, and suddenly felt that this trip to the Qin Kingdom seemed to be much more interesting than he expected.
