Chen Si and Ximen agreed that they would return to Zhiguan together with the guards. It was already dusk and the gate was closed. The guard opened and closed the door and welcomed the two into the gate. Zhecheng had been waiting for a long time. After some bargaining, the two parties reached an agreement.

An agreement was reached to recruit immigrants. Interestingly, Zhe Cheng was always most concerned about not allowing Qin people to enter the customs, rather than allowing immigrants to leave the customs. Chen Si, on the other hand, hoped to recruit as many immigrants as possible. Due to the different concerns of both parties, the agreement actually

It's easy to achieve. The so-called bargaining is just a negotiation technique that hides the truth from others.

After reaching an agreement, Chen Si returned to the camp overnight, while Zhi Cheng stayed in Zhiguan and returned to Zhi City with Chen Si and others tomorrow. After Chen Si returned, he arranged the work for tomorrow. The ten people returned to Yuan City and asked Yuan Wei to go

The food transportation here is initially set to transport ten carts and about two hundred shi per day. This is definitely not enough to rely on Yuancheng alone, and Yuancheng must ask the county for support. Ten people followed Chen Si and Ximen into Zicheng. After several quarrels,

An understanding was reached later. The remaining eighty people stayed in place to defend the city, led by Bu Geng, who was sent from Anyi. The convoy waiting to transport grain came over, and the immigrants from Zhi City arrived, so they could

The immigrants were transported back to Yuancheng, and the soldiers who transported food were used to guard the city. This rotation ensured that everyone's business trip time could be kept within a controllable range.

After spending a tense night, Chen Si and Ximen set out for Zhiguan with ten soldiers. After having breakfast at Zhiguan, they followed Zhe Cheng back to Zhi City. Zhe Cheng asked Chen Si to ride in the same car with him.

Chen Si refused, saying that as a government official, he was not qualified to ride in the car. Zhi Cheng was embarrassed to ride in the car, so he had to get down and follow Chen Si on foot.

There were fifty soldiers coming from Zhi City, and they sandwiched ten Qin soldiers. Chen Si didn't care and chatted with Zhi Cheng along the way. The driver was too embarrassed to drive, so he led the horse under the car and advanced slowly. Chen Si

When Zhe Cheng tried to trick Zhe Cheng, Zhe Cheng was very alert; when Zhe Cheng tried to trick Chen Si, Chen Si avoided him. Both of them felt that the other was different and admired each other.

It took two rests on the fifty-mile journey before reaching Zhi City. Zhi Cheng arranged for the Qin soldiers to enter the post to rest, but according to the agreement, food and accommodation were at their own expense. Chen Si sent soldiers out to buy grain, vegetables, fruits, salt, plums, and fermented sauce.

etc., and asked them to observe the people on the street, the condition of the shops, as well as the abundance and price of the goods in the market. After returning, the Qin people told him that the price of food had risen to seventy-two yuan per stone, and although the shops were open, they were empty.

, all the pedestrians on the street are in a hurry.

When the soldiers went to the street to purchase goods, Chen Si went in and out of the posthouse to observe the situation in front of the door. What he saw was the same as what the soldiers said.

Everyone took the ingredients to the kitchen to start a fire, and found that there was not much firewood. Since firewood was included in the rent, Chen Si was very surprised by the lack of firewood. He called the post official and asked: "Is the post going to be six days a week?"

Ten coins are the rate, and if I have ten people staying here, the value is not low, but why is it that the firewood and grass are not prepared?"

The post official said: "Don't be surprised, doctor. Every day in Zhe City, firewood comes in from outside, and the price is twice as much as before. We don't have much money in our post, so we don't dare to take more, but we only get the amount we get."

Chen Sidao: "If Wei Yi needs all the officials, what money will he get?"

The post official said: "I don't know, sir. The money and food for Wei Post are given on a monthly basis, and there is a fixed amount. Nowadays, the price of food has soared, and the food supply has been difficult for itself, and the salary is not enough. Usually there are few people in the post, or three or five a day.

If you can use the promised salary to meet your needs, there are more than ten doctors, but the salary is not enough! Sir, please forgive me!"

Chen Si pretended to be helpless and said: "There is not enough firewood, where can I get it?"

The post official said: "But please ask the doctor to go out of the city to search."

Chen Sidao: "I'm afraid the city gate will be closed."

The post official took out a festival talisman and handed it to Chen Sidao: "Master, take some festivals and you can enter the city."

Chen Si read the festival, and there were three words written on it: "Post to cut firewood". He was very happy, but he looked very unhappy and said: "I have never heard of it sincerely!" He asked the post official to help look after the house, and he took care of it himself.

He led all the soldiers out of the city to collect firewood.

The Qin army dressed in black Qin uniforms appeared outside the city to collect firewood, attracting everyone's attention. During the process of collecting firewood, the Qin army soldiers felt hot, took off their coats, tied them around their waists, and were dumbstruck.

The people inside and outside Zhi City. Finally, when everyone carried a large bundle of firewood and entered the city, the city gate had been closed. Chen Si called the city gate with the festival symbols of his hands and feet. Twelve strong soldiers, only wearing underwear and coats

Tied around the waist and carrying firewood on his back, he became a sight in the empty streets.

When the post official saw that Qin Jun really went out to collect firewood from the city and brought back more than ten bundles, he was very surprised and admired him very much. He thanked him repeatedly. When Qin Jun was cooking, he took the initiative to come over to help, carrying water, lifting cauldrons, and blowing fire to help the wind.

, very attentive. Chen Si also took the opportunity to open his chatterbox and got a lot of information from his mouth.

The next day, Zhi Cheng invited Chen Si to the county government to meet with Zhi Shou. Zhi Shou welcomed Chen Si's arrival and promised to fully support the work of the Qin people. Chen Si called Hedong and Nanyang neighbors, and now they are called Hedong.

Allies, we should have friendly exchanges. Zhi Shou said "Nao" repeatedly. Then, Zhe Cheng showed Zhi Shou's order. Chen Si read it and expressed his agreement.

After breakfast, two officials took a drum cart and asked Chen Si to get on the cart at the post. The rest of the Qin soldiers followed him on foot. One official beat the drum, and the other loudly announced the order of Zhi Shou,

Anyi is the foundation of the Wei Dynasty. Although it is owned by Qin, it is willing to recruit Wei people to implement it: "...if anyone wants to go to Anyi, the official will give him food for one day and send it to the outside of the pass. The Qin people will give him ten days of food and send it to Anyi."

"There were posters posted on all the gates of Zhi City. On that day, more than ten people were willing to immigrate. These people were basically single people with no family, and at most they had parents, brothers, and sisters. It was difficult to make a living, mainly because they were fancy.

The government could provide food. Chen Si eliminated those who were obviously cheating and cheating, and made an agreement with the remaining people to gather at the west gate of the city early tomorrow morning, collect the food, and go outside the customs together.

The next day, this group of people gathered in the square inside the west gate. There were about forty or fifty people, men, women, old and young, with twelve Qin soldiers guarding them. The immigrants received a day's ration according to the quota. After the city gate opened,

He went out of the city with the Qin soldiers. So there was talk in the city: those who went to Anyi would be given grain! Two days later, some good people in Zhi City announced that after leaving the customs, some Qin people would give a stone to the grain people, and they would all be transported to Anyi.

Yap!

Three days later, Chen Si led another group of Qin soldiers into the city. This time, more than ten people were waiting. Seeing Chen Si and others coming, the county government summoned the people, and after Chen Si selected them, they came again the next day.

After leaving the customs for a few days, Chen Si asked Zhe Cheng to send a car to the city to recruit in the four villages. As a result, more people joined the ranks of immigrants, including many who brought their families with them.

Carrying all kinds of luggage, by the time the Qin New Year came, about tens of thousands of residents had immigrated to Zuoyi.

Zhi County is a commercial city. There are many free and loose people living in the city, especially unemployed vagrants. After entering Zuoyi, they were quickly controlled by Qin law. The residents of Zuoyi originally came from surrounding cities and were not from Qin.

, they all had just learned Qin law not long ago. According to the order of immigration, they had learned Qin law deeply and superficially. But when the people from Zicheng arrived, they quickly became legal experts, governing people by law, and never tired of it. A few of them enjoyed it.

In that month, more than a thousand of the Zhe people who entered Zuoyi were sentenced to imprisonment. This frightened the Zhe people who had immigrated, and many fled back to Zhe. There were legends about the horror of Qin and the harshness of Qin's laws.

However, grain was still transported to Anyi through Zhi Road. Chen Si saw the continuous grain transport fleet on Zhi Road, thinking that he would also transport grain from Yuancheng to this side, and came up with a plan. After discussing with Zhang Lu, he decided to

Negotiated with Zhi Shou and reached an agreement: to set up a salt station in Zhiguan, grain trucks transporting from Zhidao to Anyi can trade at Zhiguan without having to enter Zhiguan. The salt and grain tariffs to and from Zhiguan will still be collected, but the grain

Salt returned to the Qin Dynasty. Salt and grain were stored in the warehouses of Zhiguan, and Zhixian County could collect tithes. Zhishou was naturally overjoyed when he heard this, and it was like a pie in the sky! He specially changed the gatekeepers for this purpose, and used his own

The confidant was in charge. When salt and grain were really traded in Zhiguan, and huge sums of money were delivered to the county every day, Zhi Shou simply thought that the Qin people were the gods of wealth! He desperately asked his men to move the homeless people to Anyi, and Chen Si asked for renovation

Zhi said, Zhishou agreed without thinking! It’s not that he was not worried about the danger, but in the face of huge benefits, isn’t this risk worth taking?

Prince Qin, who was in Daliang, studied business knowledge assiduously for several months and gained great insights. He understood Hedong's strategy more and more deeply, and became more and more frightened. He never thought that such a powerful person could be cultivated in the hands of businessmen.

The power is enough to destroy any princes. He has a further understanding of the Shang monarch's policy of suppressing business: if business is allowed to develop, Qin's already weak agriculture will definitely suffer a serious blow and may even be unable to recover. Wei is a famously powerful country.

Food is one of his strengths, but it cannot withstand the attack of commerce! The price of food in Daliang is rising day by day, and the people living in Daliang are panicking every day.

Doctor Xu Jia has come to Prince Qin many times, asking him to coordinate with Anyi to change the policy of exchanging grain for salt and allowing merchants to trade freely. Prince Qin always asked him to go to Xianyang to report to the King of Qin. Finally, Doctor Xu Jia

He lost his patience and said to the Prince of Qin: "There are many people in Liang who complain about the Qin government. How can the Prince be ignored? My king has defended it again and again, and nothing has happened. However, the price of millet in the Liang Dynasty will not last long. If the Prince stands idle, I fear that the Liang Dynasty will be destroyed."

He is also the enemy of the prince."

The prince of Qin said seriously: "I pledge the alliance between Qin and Wei to Wei, and Qin will not betray Wei. If my city offends a great country, I will please give you my ax and ax!"

Xu Jia said: "No one but Wei would dare to betray the alliance. He who feeds the people is the god of the people. Depriving the people of their food is the enemy of the people. Now that Anyi has deprived the world of food, it will surely be the enemy of the world. - I'm afraid

The resentment will be concentrated on the prince!"
