Just when the entire capital was in turmoil because of Zhao Xin's two imperial edicts.
Just when Liu Zhi thought that Wang Xuance was sent by the emperor to demonstrate against him and sneered.
Zhao Xin didn't expect that so many people could guess his intention to take action just because of his decree.
"There are still too many smart people in the Great Qin!"
Looking at the secret reports coming in from all over, Zhao Xin curled his lips in dissatisfaction and threw the secret reports presented by Cao Xiong on the desk.
As an emperor, no one likes to be completely seen through by others, no matter whether he is a friend or an enemy.
Even such insight could not hinder his current plan.
There's even a little bit of benefit.
For example, Nan Cang cooperated very wisely.
But he still didn't like it.
Although Cao Xiong didn't know why His Majesty was unhappy, as a minion, seeing His Majesty's displeasure, he naturally revealed a sinister expression that was required of the villain's minion in movie and TV dramas, and then said in a stupid and mean tone: "Your Majesty, do you want me to warn them?"
"Warning, what the hell? Do you have a brain?"
Zhao Xin kicked him angrily... How could this guy be so stupid? He couldn't understand my thoughts at all. No wonder he was obviously of higher status than Wang Jin before, but couldn't defeat the other party.
How do you warn about something like this?
Are you trying to say... Hey, what's wrong with you guys? You actually see through His Majesty so clearly that His Majesty doesn't have any sense of superiority at all because of his superior IQ?
"By the way, is there still no news from Huatian?"
Looking at Cao Xiong's stupid face, Zhao Xin couldn't help but think of Yu Huatian.
The stupid and naughty expression on Cao Xiong's face was instantly destroyed, turning into a face full of tangled and painful wrinkles, but he didn't dare not answer.
"Your Majesty, according to the East Factory's report, the Rain Commander arrived in Jizhou before dawn and should have reached Liyang County by now."
Zhao Xin did not hide the purpose of Yu Huatian's trip from Cao Xiong.
After all, Cao Xiong's loyalty is now 90, which is basically loyal.
Although he is a bit stupid and a bit bad, he won't ruin his plans. Besides, Yu Huatian also needs the cooperation of Dongchang and Jinyiwei on this trip.
After all, the Western Factory was established only recently. It works okay in the capital, but it’s much worse in other places.
at the same time.
Daqin, Jizhou, Liyang County.
A long-awaited rainstorm is slowly brewing above people's heads.
The dark clouds made the sky airtight, and it seemed that Liyang County, which had been dry for more than three months, was finally about to receive a hearty rain.
"Great, great! It would be great if the rain could come! If it could rain, this year's harvest could still be saved! Otherwise, I'm afraid it will be another catastrophic year with nothing at all!"
On the official road thirty miles away from the county town.
A convoy of several carriages creaked forward slowly and leisurely.
The young people in the convoy saw dark clouds gathering and heavy rain was approaching, and they all began to urge the animals pulling the carts.
"Gee, gee, gee! Hurry up, you beast! If it rains heavily, all our truckloads of goods will be ruined, and this trip will be in vain!"
When I looked up, I saw the old man driving the cart slowly, stroking his beard with a relaxed look on his face.
The young man immediately became furious. "My Lord, please stop being so concerned about the world. We are merchants. What does it have to do with us whether it is a disaster year or not?"
The old man was immediately displeased when he heard this and glared at him, "What do you know, you little brat? The people of this world have no food to eat, who will buy your goods?"
The young man chuckled and said disapprovingly, "The wealthy families in the city, the big families in the surrounding area, do you really expect those peasants to buy our goods?"
When he said this, the other young people in the convoy burst into laughter.
But the old people all sighed and said nothing.
These young people have not seen years of famine, but they have seen it before. If it really happens, it will not be as simple as it sounds.
The old man who was driven out couldn't help but snort coldly, "The wealthy families in the city, the big families within the four miles, what can they produce?
If there were no peasants like you who farm the land and pay rent, how would they buy your goods?
Besides, you know a few words, haven't you ever heard that a great disaster will inevitably be followed by a great epidemic?"
The young man's face turned pale when he heard the word "great epidemic". Even though he had never seen it, he knew that the legendary "great epidemic" was no joke.
That thing doesn't discriminate between rich and poor.
He didn't want to argue with the old man anymore and said perfunctorily, "Yes, yes, you make sense, okay?
But even so, we can't let all our goods go to waste, right?"
"snort!"
The old man groaned and said calmly, "Don't worry, it won't soak. Haven't you noticed that every car's tarpaulin is lined with oilcloth? Even if it rains now, your goods won't be soaked!"
Upon hearing this, several young men reached out and tore off a corner of the tarpaulin, and indeed found that there was a layer of oilcloth under the tarpaulin of each car.
I couldn't help but feel delighted, but at the same time I was a little surprised and asked, "Uncle, did you know it was going to rain?"
The other young people also exclaimed in admiration, "Hey, that's amazing! I never knew you had this ability, you can predict the future."
"Humph, what do you mean by foresight? It's a shame that Dong Weng even taught you to read. Don't you even know how to prepare for a rainy day?"
The old man curled his lips in disdain, but he was also a little proud.
Then he raised the whip in his hand and swung it in the air, making a loud whip flower.
Just as he was about to shout "Gee", he suddenly heard the thunderous sound of horse hooves coming from the front.
Soon, a team of light cavalry appeared in everyone's sight.
When everyone saw the knights' uniforms on horseback, their faces changed slightly.
As traveling merchants, these people have naturally seen the world and naturally recognize the origin of the clothes.
"Fanzi? How could they..."
Someone couldn't help but whisper in surprise.
But he was stopped by the person next to him halfway through.
The old man driving the cart was the first to react and scolded in a low voice: "Don't look at it, it's none of our business."
"Yes."
Everyone lowered their heads quickly, but some of the curious ones couldn't help but peek.
Sure enough, I saw that all those people had pale faces and no beards.
One of the knights, who looked like a high-ranking official, immediately attracted everyone's attention.
That face is so handsome that it is impossible to look away.
And he is not only handsome, but also has an evil beauty like a bloody blade.
It makes people feel scared, but also attracted.
Just as he was stunned by surprise, the team of knights had already arrived.
Suddenly, the handsome knight, who had been looking straight ahead, seemed to sense something and looked towards them.
At that moment, everyone couldn't help but feel their hearts shrink, and their whole bodies and souls trembled.
