Two days later, in the court, Emperor Wen decided to inspect Shuzhong. The reason was that Ling Buyi investigated that the ordnance that had been resold before flowed into Shuzhong. Emperor Wen was worried that something would happen in Shuzhong, so he entered Shu in advance to scare the vassal king of Shuzhong.

The guard work along the way was handed over to Ling Buyi. I wonder if it was because of the last rebellion in Longxi. Emperor Wen saw that Qin Hao and Ling Buyi cooperated better, so this time he still asked Qin Hao to help Ling Buyi.

"Zihan, I heard that you are getting married?" Before leaving, Emperor Wen summoned Qin Hao, and he looked serious and thoughtful.

Qin Hao said respectfully: "Reporting to Your Majesty, this is Cheng Shaoshang, the fourth wife of General Cheng's family."

Emperor Wen smiled and pressed his hand, beckoning Qin Hao to sit down, with an amiable look: "You and Zicheng are both classmates and colleagues. Together we put down the Longxi rebellion. Now you are about to get married, but Zicheng is still

He is alone, you need to help him more."

Qin Hao looked troubled: "Your Majesty, Zicheng has always been a loner and not close to women. Even if I want to help him, I am powerless."

"You and Zicheng are best friends, do you know what kind of little girl Zicheng likes?" Emperor Wen asked in a low voice.

Qin Hao couldn't help but secretly lament that the dignified leader of the ZTE generation was like a talkative woman snooping into other people's privacy. This shows that his favor towards Ling Buyi was something that even his own son would not be treated like.

"Your Majesty, Wei Chen feels that Zicheng grew up in the capital and saw a lot of famous girls. He didn't like any of them. He must not like this kind of people. If he wants to find the girl Zicheng likes, he must also

You have to look for it outside the capital." Qin Hao analyzed casually.

Emperor Wen's eyes lit up: "You are right. These noble ladies are too delicate. Zicheng has been in the army all year round. Maybe he can find a little girl for him among the generals?"

"Your Majesty, your Majesty." Qin Hao thought to himself that he had already snatched Cheng Shaoshang first, and the rest, Ling Busuo would harm whomever he liked, and it had nothing to do with him.

After chatting, Emperor Wen said to Qin Hao again: "Zihan, now your father is serving as a chief agricultural officer in the court. In the future, do you plan to join the army like Zicheng, or go to work somewhere?"

Qin Hao's heart moved. Emperor Wen was busy with affairs, so he must not have been bored to chat with him. He also thought of Emperor Wen's recent inspection of Shu.

Qin Hao stood up, cupped his hands and said loudly: "I am willing to be a small official and shepherd the people on behalf of the emperor."

Emperor Wen laughed loudly when he heard this and lifted Qin Hao up: "Okay, okay, Zihan can kill generals and capture flags when mounted, and can herd horses and calm the people when dismounted. He is truly the pillar of the country. I am not wrong about you. In this way, this time Shu

After the inspection tour, Zihan will stay in Shuzhong and serve as the magistrate of Rong County."

In the Han Dynasty, large counties with more than 10,000 households were generally called county magistrates, and small counties with less than 10,000 households were called county magistrates. This Rong County is obviously a small county.

"Thank you for your grace."

Emperor Wen patted Qin Hao's shoulder and sighed: "I'm sorry, Zihan. I'll practice outside for a while. I'll have more important tasks for you in the future."

Qin Hao shook his head gently: "If you can guard the herd, benefit the people, and live up to what you have learned in your heart, there is no need to talk about grievances."

"Okay, I have indeed seen you right." Emperor Wen looked at the high-spirited Qin Hao, as if he had seen his own appearance as a boy, and the more he looked at him, the more he liked him.

After returning from the palace, Qin Fang called Qin Hao to the study. When he learned that Qin Hao was going to be sent to Rong County, Qin Fang showed no expression of surprise on his face. Apparently Emperor Wen had asked for his opinion in advance.

"The situation in Shu is complicated. You have to be more careful. You can take all the troops who participated in the war with you last time."

Qin Hao nodded. Although Emperor Wen's inspection of Shu could frighten those vassal kings who were ready to move, it could not completely eliminate their dissatisfaction. Qin Hao was Emperor Wen's nail in Shu and would definitely be criticized by the Shu vassals.

The king is afraid, this is not a good thing.

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Yuan rushed in and cried with tears in his eyes: "Even if you want to be released, you shouldn't go to such dangerous places. Master, aren't you watching Haoer jump into the fire pit?"

Qin Fang reluctantly persuaded: "Your Majesty's inspection of Shu is just a pretext. The real purpose is to replace those garrison troops who are too deeply involved with the vassal kings of Shu. Without the army, those vassal kings can only rely on the few guards from the palace to become

Without the weather, Hao'er's trip will not be in danger."

Qin Hao also consoled him: "Mom, please be at ease, the children have been through the Longxi battlefield, how can they still not be able to withstand this storm? What's more, Sichuan is a country of abundance, is there any more suitable place than this for overseas release?"

In fact, the territory of the Han Dynasty was not large, and many places were not developed. For example, the Jiangnan Water Town in later generations was still a barren land. As the birthplace of Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty, Shuzhong has always been valued. In addition,

With its unique geographical location, it was considered a very prosperous area in the era of small-scale peasant economy.

Qin Yuan was finally persuaded. After all, the emperor's order could not be violated, so she could only prepare the items for Qin Hao's appointment in advance.

Suddenly, Ling Buyi also came to Qin's house. He probably learned the news that Qin Hao was going to become his deputy, and specifically asked Qin Hao to come and discuss countermeasures.

"The most important thing now is to get the map of Shu. When General Wan led his army to regain Shuzhong, this map must be in his hands." Ling Buyi still had a cold expression.

Qin Hao asked calmly: "So?"

Ling Buyi said in a deep voice: "But General Wan never admits that the map of Shu is in his hands. I heard that Zihan's new wife is familiar with Wan's wife..."

Qin Hao raised his hand to interrupt and said in a cold voice: "Kan Yutu can find another way to get it. I will not force Niao Niao to betray his friends."

"Your Majesty's inspection of Shu must be flawless this time. If there is no map of Shu, how can we arrange defense along the way? As husband and wife become one, she will marry you, and your business will be her business." Ling Buyu retorted.

Qin Hao suddenly laughed and asked, "Has Zicheng ever really liked a girl?"

Ling Buyi frowned and slowly shook his head.

Qin Haodan smiled: "If Zicheng finds someone he likes one day, he will definitely not force her to do something she doesn't like, and I can't bear to see her suffer any injustice."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Ling Buyi was silent for a long time, staring at Qin Hao for a while, and then sighed: "That map..."

"I will come to ask for it."

"Then I will wait for good news from Zihan."

In the afternoon of the same day, Qin Hao went to Wan Mansion with gifts. Wan Songbai and Cheng Shi were close friends, so naturally he was very enthusiastic about Qin Hao.

However, when Qin Hao mentioned the map of Shu, Wan Songbai still looked at him.

Qin Hao whispered: "After Your Majesty inspects Shuzhong, my nephew will go to Rong County to take office. At that time, some of the Qin family's properties will also be transferred there. I wonder if Uncle Wan is interested?"

Qin Hao did not use Emperor Wen to pressure him. The reason why Wan Zhenqiu likes gorgeous clothes and jewelry so much is purely genetic. Wan Songbai is a typical nouveau riche. He has been working on the treasure map of Shu.

, so I have been reluctant to hand it over to Ling Buyi.

Wan Songbai's eyes lit up when he heard this. It has been many years since the map of Shu fell into his hands, but he has never been able to decipher the mystery within it. Even if there is a treasure but he cannot get it, he can only stare blankly.

In recent years, the Qin family's business has been booming. Everything from vinegar to soy sauce has been making money every day. This is the gold mountain that is tangible.

"What Zihan means is that I, Wanjia, can participate in one share?" Wan Songbai looked at Qin Hao eagerly.

Qin Hao smiled and nodded slightly: "The Qin family has no foundation in Shu, and there are many vassal kings who are restricting them. When Uncle Wan regained Shu, many of his old tribes must still be there. The Qin family's business still needs Uncle Wan's care.

yes."

In a small-scale peasant economy and society, the best way to achieve results in a short period of time is to develop industry and commerce. Wan Songbai is a general trusted by Emperor Wen. This time, the generals under him will definitely be promoted and reused in the replacement of the Shuzhong garrison.

Giving him some shares can not only obtain a protective umbrella, but also tie the interests of the two families together. For the Wan family, not only can they gain profits, but they can also gain the friendship of the Qin family. This transaction is definitely a win-win situation.

Wan Songbai suddenly said a little depressed: "How lucky is the Cheng family to find a husband like you? Just wait."

After saying that, Wan Songbai went to Mrs. Wan's room and told her the situation.

Mrs. Wan couldn't help but sigh: "I have long heard that the Qin family has a Qilin son. Now that I see him, he is indeed a worthy man with great reputation. It's a pity that our Wan family does not have such a good man!"

There was also envy in Wan Songbai's tone: "I don't know if the Cheng family has smoke coming out of the ancestral graves. Not to mention the many children, even the daughter married so well. If our wife could find such a good wife,

Husband-in-law."

"Okay, our family is just a wife. We will definitely recruit a son-in-law in the future. Don't have such wishful thinking. Go and show the map of Shu to Young Master Qin, so that he won't have to wait for a long time."

"only."

After getting the map of Shu territory, Qin Hao unfolded it and found that the map was more detailed than he thought. In fact, road-recording vehicles had already appeared in the Western Han Dynasty.

"Xijing Miscellaneous Notes" records: In the Han Dynasty, the Yujia Temple was built in Ganquan Fenyin, and thousands of horses were prepared. The servants held the bridles, and the generals accompanied them. They were called Dajia. The four chariots drove four, the middle way. The evil chariots drove four, the middle way.

Remember that the car drove four, the middle road.

Of course, there is still a big gap between this map of Sichuan and the maps of later generations. It only marks some county offices and surrounding mountains and rivers, without marking more detailed information.

Qin Hao closed the map of the Shu territory, raised his hands to Wan Songbai and said, "Thank you, Uncle Wan, for making it possible."

"It's easy to talk." Wan Songbai smiled and sent Qin Hao to the door.

This scene was seen by Ling Buyi, who was following him in Wanfu, and his eyes widened. Even the Liang brothers who had been following him were dumbfounded.

"How did Mr. Qin do this?"

"Yes, does this old fox Wan Songbai look down on our general? Why did he give the map to him instead of our general?"

Ling Buyi glared at the two of them coldly: "Go to the Qin Mansion."

The Liang brothers shrank their necks and followed obediently.

Qin Hao had just returned home and had not yet settled down when Ling Buyi came. Qin Hao did not hide anything and told him how he got the map of Kantu from Wan Songbai.

"Is it that simple?" Ling Buyi was a little doubtful.

Qin Haodan smiled: "What else?"

Ling Buyi said nothing more, unfolded the map, and began to study the route of Emperor Wen's inspection of Shu.

"Qingxian and Huaxian are the only roads that must be passed by inspections. The terrain is complex and the nearby mountains are rolling. It is easy to hide troops, so we need to pay special attention to them."

After a long time, Ling Buyi said in a deep voice.

Qin Hao frowned slightly: "Zicheng means to send more guards here? If so, I'm afraid that the other party will hide and stay silent, which will make it more dangerous."

Ling Buyi looked at Qin Hao in surprise: "Zihan wants to lure the snake out of its hole?"

Qin Hao pointed to the map of Kan: "After Qing County and Hua County, Your Majesty has two ways to inspect central Shu. In this case, we must divide our troops. The terrain in central Shu is complicated, and there are always places that cannot be taken care of. It is better to pretend that we have nothing to do.

Without any defense, we can lure out these rebellious officials and traitors and annihilate them one by one."

In the end, Emperor Wen agreed to Qin Hao's plan and transferred the garrison troops near Qing County and Hua County in the name of protecting the Holy Emperor to facilitate the rebels.

Qin Hao and Ling Buyi secretly led a group of black armored guards to the center of Shu. Once there was a change in Qing County and Hua County, they could immediately put down the rebellion and intimidate the Shu vassal king.
