In ancient times, Xinzheng was the Huozheng Zhurong Ruins of the Gaoxin clan. It was the original place of origin of the Chu people. The Duke of Zhou sealed Guanshu here, and later it became the land of the two states of Dongguo and He. When Duke Wu of Zheng listened to Shi Bo's suggestion, he destroyed the two countries and gained their own land. When King Ping moved eastward, Huan and Zhuang Zhishi, the state of Zheng was able to maintain the code and punishment, and based on this land, Zheng Guo laid a small hegemony. 's foundation.

After more than 200 years of development, this place can be described as prosperous cultural relics and outstanding people. The entire city was built with rammed earth, with a circumference of about 20 miles.

This city is different from other feudal lords. It is not an inner and outer city structure, but is divided into two cities: east and west: there is a north-south city wall in the city, dividing Xinzheng into east and west regions. Zigong entered the city from the east gate, and the first one to enter is naturally the east city, where there are civilian residential areas, handicraft workshops, and shops.

Zigong also came to Xinzheng to do business in the past, and he is no stranger to the developed manufacturing industry and dense merchant groups here. Along the way, he lifted the curtain in front of the car and looked around, but he saw copper, cast iron, bone, jade, pottery, and silk reeling. There were workshops on both sides of the Weishui River.

These handmade products were driven by merchants and their ministers were transported to the market for sale, and even exported to Chu, Zhou, Qi, Jin, and Lu. Because of the formation of a manufacturing-selling chain, Xinzheng was more stable than Taoqiu, a simple freight transfer center. Because of the frequent wars, traffic jams will be greatly affected.

Just relying on the daily production of metallurgical and foundry workshops, you can see how great the war potential of Zheng State is, not to mention that the roads here rank first in the world, and it is extremely convenient to deploy troops.

And the strength of Zheng Bing is also well-known among the princes. After wandering between Jin and Chu for more than a hundred years, the Zheng people have a lot of tenacity, which is a tenacity that cannot be underestimated by the two superpowers. Now that Zheng has got rid of the enslavement of Jin and Chu, he has become self-reliant, and is eager to try in this civil war in Jin, trying to seize greater interests!

The country has a population of nearly one million. With thousands of chariots and 30,000 soldiers, it is by no means weaker than any minister of Jin.

Seeing it all the way, Zigong also had a scruple in his heart. He thought to himself: "From the current point of view, Song, who has only recovered from the chaos and famine, is probably not Zheng's opponent. Not only will he not be able to regain the lost ground, he may also be beaten to a disastrous defeat for the three armies and forced to withdraw from the war. Until then. Zhao's southern line is in jeopardy..."

I don't know if the people of Zheng Guo noticed the intentions of these uninvited guests. They did not hide themselves, but marched forward with great fanfare. Therefore, in the crowded shops and streets, this motorcade from Zhao's family was frequently noticed.

The knowledgeable scholar looked at the black bird pattern carved on the chariot, and wondered how the Zhao merchants, who were already enemies, dared to come to Xinzheng. The woman looked at Zigong sitting in front of the car, and was attracted by his elegant demeanor. She didn't care that it was the middle of winter, and it was not a good season to travel and court. Throw it at him!

Zigong deftly avoided the scented robes, and said to Uncle Xian, who was with him, "The custom of Xinzheng, it's still so unpretentious."

Uncle Xian was not ashamed, but replied with a smile: "Out of the east gate, there are women like clouds. Although they are like clouds, I miss them. Wearing clothes and scarves, talking about my staff... This poem is about My Xinzheng style, every time foreign envoys come, I will be startled by the full-fledged Xinzheng women, who are as famous for their boldness as their looks."

"In this regard. Hypocrites will hide their faces and avoid them, while lechers will be overjoyed. There are women who are pregnant, and Ji Shi lures them. Foreign ministers are all proud of the number of women's clothes and towels that were given to them. It is said that the most Yes, it was still Zhao Wenzi back then, who had loaded three cars! Although he didn't stick to these women himself, Wenzi's demeanor and bearing really made Zheng people unforgettable..."

The orphan of the Zhao family grew up with a gentle manner and was indeed very likable in social situations. At that time, Zheng Guo was swaying between Jin and Chu, and he broke the alliance many times. After being conquered by the Jin army again, the Jin officials were furious and wanted to punish Zheng Guo severely. Only Zhao Wu said a fair word for Zheng Guo's helplessness.

After the meeting of the soldiers, peace was restored in the Central Plains, and Zhao Wu, the minister of Jin State, and Prince Yin of Chu State ordered Yin Ziwei, that is, King Ling of Chu, who was arrogant later, at the Guodi meeting of Zheng Guodi. At the Guozhi meeting, his Tolerance and generosity and the greed and arrogance of Wang Ziwei are in stark contrast. Although it seems to be overwhelmed on the bright side, everyone in Zheng country likes Zhao Wu.

Of course, none of this can change the fact that Zheng Guo is now an enemy of the Zhao clan. It only looks at interests and ignores old friendships. This is what Zheng people do.

As he spoke, Uncle Xian glanced at Zigong, the lobbyist who came to Xinzheng on behalf of the Zhao family.

"The entire city of Xinzheng is full of beauties, and they often fill the harems of princes. I don't know which beauties the son of the Zhao family likes?"

Zigong showed a mysterious smile: "In Yuzhou, there is a beautiful person who is as graceful as Qingyang. With Xin in front of her and Dahe behind her, she is right Luo Zuo, supporting Guo and Ying, and eating Qin, Wei Er Shui. She is in the Mei of the water, looking across the river from the Zhao family, making my family lord toss and turn, looking forward to swimming with him day and night, but she always follows it, the road gets in the way, and instead invests in the marquis of Qi and Zhi. Uncle's arms really make people sigh with embarrassment..."

Uncle Xian laughed dumbly, "Isn't the beautiful lady Zigong spoke of from the State of Zheng?"

He secretly said that as expected, if Zhao Wuxie does what he wants, so does Zheng Guo! The envoys of the world like to express their will through poetry, Zigong studied with Confucius, and was especially good at this way. Therefore, it was originally a dirty transaction between the two countries, but he said it was extremely elegant, so Xian Bofu was not ashamed and angry because of the tribute to the Zheng country.

Zigong said: "Of course~www.wuxiahere.com~ my lord has been in love with Zheng for a long time, and I hope to reconcile with Zheng He, just like a fair lady and a gentleman, Bofu thinks, should I treat the Zhao family? to convey the goodwill to Zheng Guo?" Zi Gong stared at him and asked.

There is something in the words... Uncle Xian pondered. Many years ago, Mr. Zhao was entrusted by Mr. Xian to accept the expulsion and Deng Yi. The favor that Mrs. Xian owed Zhao Wuxi has not been paid. Although their Xian clan adheres to the style of Xiangao and takes protecting the interests of the mother country as the bottom line, they can still help with some small tasks.

As they spoke, the wall that spanned the east and west of Xinzheng had arrived, and after the city gate was the West City, where the palace of Zhengbo and the official residences and residences of nobles, and the altar of the ancestral temple strolled around it.

If Xinzheng Dongcheng is the heart that makes Zheng State full of vitality, then Xicheng is the brain of Zheng State.

Xian Bofu made up his mind. He pointed to the high Xinzheng palace and said, "Zheng people rely on merchants to establish their country, and they also have the habits of merchants in their temperament, so the rulers only value one thing, interests!"

"The so-called Yiren that your lord has been looking forward to is waiting for a price here. Whether you can pursue it or not depends on whether the 'peony' from Tzu's contribution is fragrant!" (To be continued.)
