Chapter 964: Chang'an
After Xu Qing got married, there was only one big thing to do, and that was to quickly establish the city.
This city will also be the city that never sleeps in the entire Central Plains, and it will definitely gather the prosperity and prosperity of the Central Plains.
But naming is a big problem.
What should the city be called?
So Xu Qing summoned the Xian Wang, the Supreme Emperor and Xiao Ye to discuss together.
Xiao Ye has an idea at this time: "Across the three countries of the Central Plains, exchange what is needed, the meaning is even better, then simply call it Chang'an, long-term peace and prosperity."
Xu Qing looked at the map of Kunyu on the table and said, "But according to the historical description, Chang'an should be to the north of our location, right?"
Xiao Ye said: "That place is no longer called Chang'an, and there is no city called Chang'an yet."
Xu Qing: "Why did you change such a beautiful name? When did you change it?"
Xiao Ye: "I don't know either."
Xu Qing: "..."
The Xian King looked at Xu Qing and said: "It's not a bad idea to name this market Chang'an. You happen to be the King of Han, and Chang'an is suitable for you. Maybe you can really make my divided Central Plains long-term and stable."
Xu Qing: "Don't you believe in fortune-telling?"
King Xian gritted his teeth and said, "This king can't think of a good name, can't it be okay?!"
Then he turned his head and looked at the Supreme Emperor: "Why don't you want one?"
The Supreme Emperor quickly waved his hands and said, "Ahem, no need, I think Chang'an is fine."
King Xian: "Another one whose name I can't think of."
Xu Qing: "..."
At this moment, Xiao Ruxue came over with the teapot to add water, King Xian couldn't look away for a moment, and said with a smile: "Xue'er, come sit with King Father."
Xiao Ruxue, who finished adding water to everyone, immediately shook her head: "No, no! The mother and concubine said that she should marry and obey her husband. A daughter can't sit with her father, she has to sit with her husband."
With that said, Xiao Ruxue sat down on the seat beside Xu Qing.
At this moment, King Xian's fist was hardened, and he stared straight at Xu Qing.
...
Once the name is settled, the work can begin.
Xu Qing believes that this city will not only become the trade center of the Central Plains, but also the world trade center.
The news naturally spread to Zhao Guozhong.
The city of Chang'an naturally spans the three countries, but now only the Chu State and the Zhou State are communicating with each other. There is a sense of deliberately not playing with the Zhao State, but every piece of news is let to the Zhao State.
This made Zhao Guo very uncomfortable.
Judging from the meaning, Chu State obviously intends to invite Zhao State to join Chang'an.
But they just don't say it.
Who doesn't want a city with low tariffs and free trade?
And among other things, King of Han and Chang'an.
The establishment of this city by Chu State and Zhou State obviously had economic and political meanings in it.
If the two brothers secretly reached an agreement that was not known, wouldn't Zhao Guo be passive?
Therefore, Emperor Zhao attached great importance to this. After getting the news, he summoned his courtiers to discuss countermeasures in the imperial study.
One side thinks that their country of Zhao is already rich, so they can enter this city or not.
Anyway, Zhao Guo is proficient in business, and at worst they build one by themselves.
The other party believes that the National Chamber of Commerce is now constantly launching new products, and Zhao Guo’s business has actually fallen behind that of Chu State. If they don’t join, Zhao Guo will have no business in the future, whether it is trade or politics. will be at a disadvantage.
Besides, their country of Zhao has just gone through the flames of war, and the people's livelihood is dying. This city of Chang'an is better used by the country of Zhao to develop commodity trade.
So be sure to enter!
The two sides are arguing endlessly, and each has its own reasons.
However, the call for entry is still louder.
So Emperor Zhao made a final decision, the Zhao Kingdom of Chang'an City must join!
There must be a place for Zhao Guo!
After Zhao Huang thought about it, he actually knew why Zhou Guo and Chu Guo didn't inform Zhao Guo to join.
Because now the eldest princesses of Zhou State and Zhao State are married to Xu Qing, the King of Han, who is also the owner of Chang'an City.
But the eldest princess of their country of Zhao didn't get married!
Both Chu State and Zhou State are now half-in-law, but their Zhao State seems to have nothing to do with the King of Han.
That's right, Zhao Guo is not related to the King of Han now, so why should he take you to play?
At this time, Emperor Zhao couldn't help feeling a little regretful, if he had known that Xu Qing could achieve such an achievement today, he should have let a princess of his own get close to Xu Qing on his own initiative.
It's best to hook up.
It's a pity that a general's daughter was actually sent there...
Zhao Huang was full of remorse at this time, thinking that it was too late to send a princess to kiss him?
Anyway, the King of Han already has two princesses, so he shouldn't mind having another princess, right?
When Zhao Huang sent a mission to impress the King of Han with a marriage, it failed.
Han Wang Xu Qing made it clear that he has no shortage of princesses now, and Zhao Guo needs a membership fee of 300,000 taels of silver if he wants to join the group.
It doesn't matter if you think it's expensive, the big deal is that we won't take you to play.
I came back in less than a month and a half including the walking time, which is definitely the fastest mission in history.
Xu Qing's idea is very simple, Long Bing'er can't fool around, why can't she ask for some money?
It just so happened that they hadn't started funding the city of Chang'an yet.
There must always be someone who is taken advantage of and pays for.
It can't be Chu and Zhou, right?
When Zhao Guo was having a heated discussion, Xu Qing from Han Palace finally came out of the quiet room.
He has been working on this invention for a long time, and it is finally finished today?
During this period of time, Xu Qing came up with a lot of new gadgets, even the loom Xu Qing used for weaving was remodeled, and the spinning efficiency was greatly improved.
It can be said that during this period of time, besides Su Qian, Li Mingyue and Xiao Ruxue, what Xu Qing did most was to invent new gadgets.
Each piece balances beauty and practicality.
As for the Zhao Guo mission, he dealt with it casually.
Just as some ministers of Zhao State thought, Zhao State has dominated the trade in the Central Plains for sixty years, so they are so rich.
If Xu Qing doesn't work hard to increase the productivity of Chu and Zhou, he is really afraid that Zhao, the big injustice, will think that Chang'an City is actually not very good, so he will run away.
It doesn't matter if they run away, who will pay for the construction of Chang'an City?
Being taken advantage of doesn't happen every year!
Li Mingyue came over and looked at Xu Qing and asked, "Has your husband made anything new?"
Xu Qing stretched out his hand to show Li Mingyue what he had in his hand.
Li Mingyue looked at the things in Xu Qing's hands and was slightly taken aback: "Did Husband just make an insole in the quiet room these two days? Hey, why does this insole have a pair of small wings on both sides?"
Xiao Ruxue came out of nowhere: "Husband made an insole with wings? Never mind, hurry up and use it for me, it happens that my new shoes are not comfortable to wear."
