1715: Killing Intent
When Qin Li appeared again, he had become a typical small businessman in Ming Dynasty, with a road from Fuyuan County in his arms. This road from him was of course true, but his real master was no longer in this world at this moment. Among the many small businessmen who were similar to his identity, Qin Cheng even spoke fluent local dialect of Fuyuan County and had a warm conversation with everyone.
He has been in Fuyuan County for many years, and the local dialect of Fuyuan County is not difficult for him to speak in person.
There were too many people like him from the Ming Counties in the station, not only from the Ming Dynasty, but also from the Western and Chu areas. These people had a common goal, which was to go to Baoqing Port in Changyang County.
So far, Baoqing Port is still the largest port for overseas trade in Daming. Compared with Quanzhou, which is still in the development stage, Baoqing Port has more opportunities. Of course, these people are not qualified or capable of completing a ticket for overseas trade. Their purpose is to go to Baoqing Port to buy goods.
In addition to those large maritime merchants, every time they go to sea, of course, there are also merchant ship sailors and guards. When these people go to sea, they naturally do not do anything and receive their own salary. They will also take advantage of this great opportunity to quietly get some novel goods back. These things are basically something that big merchants look down on, or they do not have the value of introducing a large amount of domestic introduction, but for the Ming people, novelty and not in China, this is enough.
As long as these sailors and guards don’t carry much, it will not affect the navigation safety of the entire ship. The sea merchants will naturally turn a blind eye and sail on long distances. These people are all things that the sea merchants need to win over. Otherwise, if any one person makes a stumbling block for you, you will probably lose hundreds of times the money.
The things brought back by these sailors and guards often make the profits they can get are much higher than their own salary. Gradually, this has formed an industry, with countless small merchants from all over the country who bought these novel things from Baoqing Port and sold them at high prices, because they are rare, so there is naturally no shortage of buyers. Due to the price difference between regions, the prices of these things sold after being bought are often more than ten times higher than their original value. In the Ming Dynasty, a small industrial chain has been formed, feeding a large number of people.
Qin Yi had already noticed the abnormality of the station, which was completely different from when he first arrived in Yuejing. This feeling was based on his professional sensitivity that had been formed over the past decades. The procedures for entering the station were extremely strict. After entering the station, some people would be investigated again from time to time. There were also some people, although they were dressed like ordinary people, Qin Li could understand at a glance that these people should all come from the Eagle Nest in the past and the Ministry of National Security.
It seems that the people from the Ministry of State Security have already blocked him in the rail stations, but such actions have made Qin Li feel relieved, which shows that the other party is still in the stage of casting a wide net and has not accurately captured his complete movement trajectory. This made him feel a little relieved. At least, he can get more time to retreat for those spy detectives who have exposed their own siege because of him.
The Ministry of State Security of the Ming Dynasty would eventually track down the small restaurant. Qin Li never doubted this. As long as he did, no matter how you covered it, he would leave traces. The geese would leave a sound. Qin Li never expected to hide it from those smart colleagues, but that's all. As for the clues in the small restaurant later, he had completely cut off when he left.
Like most people, after a while of passionate conversation, Qin Li sat cross-legged on the ground, quietly waiting for the departure of the railcar that was about to transport them away.
Looking up at the tall station roof of Yuejing City, Qin Li's heart was filled with trouble for the future of Daqi. The size of Yuejing City's track lanes is completely unimaginable for those who have not been here in person. The track lanes built by various counties in Ming Dynasty and their final destinations will gather here, and the densely staggered track lines in the station are enough to make a person dizzy.
The development of Yuejing City was incredibly fast. The place where the rail station was built was still a completely desolate place, but now, relying on the rail station, a considerable city has been formed here. Qin Li could tell by his feelings that this place is even more prosperous than a high-scale county town in Qi State.
Relying on the rail station, the Ming Dynasty's control over various places was unprecedentedly strengthened. Orders from the Ming Dynasty's Political Affairs Hall or the Imperial Palace would arrive at any place in the Ming Dynasty in a very short time along these cold tracks.
Similarly, when something happens in Yuejing City, the county governments in the Ming Dynasty will support the county town as fast as possible. If something happens in the county town, Yuejing City can also mobilize all forces to solve it as fast as possible.
The emergence of rail cars greatly strengthened the Ming court's control over various places, and Qi could not do this anyway. Qin Li knew that the longest order from Qi would take about one month to send to various counties. The huge time difference between this means unlimited execution, efficiency and benefits.
Da Qi is reforming, and the power of Da Qi is growing, but the gap with Ming is not narrowing, but is gradually expanding. This is not the wrong policy of Da Qi, nor is it the people of Da Qi not working hard, but the development and progress of Ming State is too fast, so fast that people can't catch up with it even if they do their best. They can only watch the other party's back as they sail far away.
That kind of despair made Qin Li feel more unlimitedly painful for those who fully understand both countries. In China, there are probably no ones who see this trend at all. All the people of Daqi have a blind confidence in the current Daqi.
A tidy footsteps suddenly sounded outside the station and interrupted Qin Li's thoughts. When Mu Ran raised his head, he saw a group of soldiers entering the station with full arms. Qin Li was shocked and almost jumped up.
When he controlled himself with great perseverance to prevent him from appearing strange, he also recognized that the famous Ming Dynasty Fire Death Camp entered the station, he calmed down.
The Fire Death Camp is the emperor's personal soldiers. They did not appear here for themselves. They wanted to arrest themselves. The Ministry of State Security is enough. How can they dispatch such an army?
Like other people, he also stretched his neck curiously and looked at the entrance of the station. There must be some extravagant person who was about to arrive at the station. Could it be Emperor Qin Feng?
Qin Li's question was answered soon. When the soldiers of the Liehuo Death Camp entered the station and isolated everyone, a young man who looked very young, accompanied by a group of officials, walked slowly into the door.
Qin Li's pupils shrank slightly, Wang Hou's clothes and the people accompanying him made him immediately guess who the person was. Qin Feng's eldest son, Qin Wu, had just been named the Prince of Ming State of Qi.
He had never seen Qin Wu, but he had seen the old guy who was with Qin Wu. He was the former chief assistant of Ming Kingdom, Quan Yun, and on the other side was the current chief assistant of Ming Kingdom, Kim Jong-nam.
"His Royal Highness of Qi, Thousand Years!" Someone shouted loudly in the waiting station. This sound attracted more shouts. The young Qin Wu smiled and waved to everyone, and then attracted more cheers.
Qin Li looked at the lively scene in the station. Ming Kingdom was indeed different from Daqi. If the prince of Daqi appeared in such a place, the place would have been cleared in advance. Even if it was necessary to show a friendly manner, at the current station, the people who could stand were probably the soldiers and accompanying personnel who maintained order.
But in fact, although everyone was cheering at Qin Wu, everyone was still standing. The Ming people did not think it was strange, and Qin Wu and the officials seemed to ignore this situation.
Qin Li suddenly had a strong impulse. Assuming that he assassinated Qin Wu and Jin Zhengnan Quanyun beside him, he was afraid that the waves of the sky would be set off in Ming Dynasty and bring infinite opportunities to Qi State. As soon as this idea surged, it immediately made him feel excited and ready to move.
Such a good opportunity is not something you can encounter at any time, or it is just such an opportunity in your life. If you can succeed, it will be much more valuable than your long journey. If this action is successful, you will die if you die. The commander will naturally send someone else to carry out the tasks on your body.
Of course he didn't feel that he would still have hope of survival after rushing up, but as long as he could succeed, everything would be worth it.
"Brother, do you know where His Highness King Qi is going?" A voice suddenly sounded around him. "The King of Qi is going to Yongping County and Hulao County. Yongping County is going to build a track line to Hulao County. Hulao County is going to dig a canal to the west. King of Qi is going to cut the ribbon to start construction. I just said, the track car that has always been on time, so why did he be late for so long and not leave? It turned out that he wanted His Highness King of Qi's car to leave first."
Of course Qin Li knew these two things. In fact, these two projects had already started. Qin Wu's trip was just a look. The more important significance was that the Ming Dynasty had officially pushed their prince to the front desk, and this was the rhythm of the prince being enthroned next.
Once Qin Wu is officially granted the crown prince, the political structure of the Ming Dynasty will be more stable.
There was a villain in Qin Li's heart shouting desperately, "The opportunity is once a year, but if you don't take action at this time, when will you wait? Just die. If you can exchange your death for the death of the Prince of Ming, what a cost-effective deal.
Of course, opportunities are once a lifetime. There are not many opportunities for the Prince of Ming to appear in public like this, and there are no chances of encountering him by chance.
Qin Li took a deep breath.
