To the west from the hometown of Yingshui Xiangguo, it is the territory of Shen State, and before the rise of Chu State, the buffer zone between Chen and Cai was here.This also makes the opposition economies of the two countries near Yingshui relatively more developed.Like the ditch of Wu State, in order to communicate Yingshui and Rushui, between the two rivers, there are many artificial rivers that are simple because of the ugliness, but there is no strong navigation ability of the ditch, and the most is to float some small boats.However, for caravans that lack large livestock, in order to reduce the use of manpower, this amount of transportation capacity is also sufficient."
Uncle, please look, there is Shen Guo ahead.""
There's something strange here."
Sha Hum felt strange because the caravan in front of him did not go to Shen State, but went south.The roads here are clearly paved and allow for horse-drawn carriages, which is quite rare."
The Shen Kingdom has been destroyed several times and is slightly dilapidated, so in the past few years, most of them have gone to Cai State.Cai Guo was near Shen Guo and built a new city. ”When talking about this new city, Jia Gui reminded Sha Hu, "So that Bo Hum knows that this new city was built by the Chu State, in order to prevent the Cai State from annexing the Shen State." ”"Huh?"
Sha Hum suddenly felt strange, Chu State, an international hooligan, actually has such a good heart?"
In the early years, when King Yi was still on the throne, Cai attacked and destroyed Shen twice, both because Chu came forward, which was able to protect Shen.Later, the state of Chu expanded Fangcheng, and it also took advantage of the situation to the east of Rushui and built Pingyuyi.Doctor Gu here, his wife, is a relative of Shen Zi. ”"Ah Gui, do you know this?"
When he came, Sha Hum pondered what the boss had sent Jia Gui to him for.Now that I look at it, I suddenly understand that a talent like Jia Gui is really hard to come by."
Hehe, I'm not afraid of being a horseman in the old years to Chen State, just when Shen Guo returned to the country, it was the time to employ people, so I went to Shen State to do the business of carrying dung and burying soil."
Jia Gui's ugly face suddenly appeared embarrassed, the livelihood he managed in his early years was not good, but fortunately, the salary was high, and his small life was still good.But the eldest brother doesn't laugh at the second brother, Sha Hum himself is also a short and stout monster, with dark skin, just about appearance, there is no need for Jia Guiqiang to be anywhere.Moreover, Sha Hum was just a wild man in the "Hundred Sands" at the beginning, and a wild man who still belonged to the category of honest people, which was not worth mentioning."
How could I make fun of Agui's experience?
Shou Li said that there is only a division of labor in the career, and there is no difference between high and low. ”Jia Gui's face was distorted, and his ugly face looked even uglier.Because although this is heartwarming to hear, the reality is really crazy to slap him and the "Baisha" savage in the face.It is said that when he was carrying dung, he was willing to run after him, only the dog didn't know whether the dog was hungry or crazy, in short, no one wanted to get close to him, and he didn't find a dung picker to nag him.However, Jia Gui was a dung picker back then, and he was able to understand the local situation, which is indeed commendable.Although Jia's education declined, it still played a role after all.If you want to send it to the field, to the plate building or the fish salt, the sea market, then you must have your own three, two, three.Otherwise, how can you go to Liangshan?
It can't be said that the heavens will descend on the people, and they must first find a dung digger to be the second-in-command of the country.Jia Gui was able to pass the assessment one after another in the selection of the "Righteous Courage Battalion", and it has nothing to do with how ugly he looks, anyway, the king ordered a macho man here, and there is nothing else, but there are many ugly men.There are also ugly ones, but even if they are ugly, they can still travel around 26 countries, and then eat and drink."
Agui, this operation, are we going directly to Caicheng?""
Bo hum, I personally think that you can go to Pingyuyi first, and then go west to Rushui, on the bank of Rushui, there is Zhuma City."
Seeing Sha Hu's puzzled face, Jia Gui explained, "Since Cai Guo has plundered Xu Guo, he will inevitably travel with a large army, and the Chu people must have arrangements to protect against Cai's army."
At this time, spreading rumors is safe in the cities of the Chu people. ”Although it is more convenient to get to Cai Guoduyi, it is not easy to run away.Jia Gui has been working outside for so many years, and he is still very experienced in running away.And he is different from the common people, he is still a nobleman in essence, at least he is a "scholar", but the gold content is a little worse.It is a product of the continuous decline of the Jia family, but the countries will still give a little face to the nobles.Even if it is difficult, it will not be to the same extent as embarrassing the savages.Although the nations are divided, in general, for the small and medium-sized nobles, the freedom of movement still exists, after all, the nobility represents education or a skill.It was a rice worm in the aristocratic house, and this rice worm, at least a literate rice worm, was thrown into the official office to be an errand boy, and there was no problem at all.The population at the bottom of the nations is swelling, but the effective talent of the ruling class is relatively decreasing.There is a shortage of people everywhere, so even if it is a dung digger, after a down-and-out aristocrat like Jia Gui, he has far an advantage over ordinary people.At least the nobles know who can't mess around, who can throw dung but the common people can't, the common people don't know how to be polite, a little rudeness, it's just a bunch of bad things."
Zhuma City?""
Not far from Pingyuyi, this city guards the two countries of Fang and Dao, and it is the mausoleum camp of the Chu State in the east of Fangcheng.""
Chu State Mausoleum Master?""
Exactly."
Jia Gui was surprised when he saw Sha Hu, and hurriedly explained, "Although it is a large camp of the Mausoleum Division, since the king of the Emperor, there have been few wars in the north of the Chu State, and most of them have fought with the Wu State, so there are very few soldiers stationed in Macheng, but there is a similar Cao State, which has become a place for merchants in the Rushui countries." ”Jia Gui explained that most of the caravans in this place were caravans that used Rushui trade, and they were from all countries, and even Zhou Tianzi's courtiers came and went here.After all, taking the Han River can only cheapen the barbarians of the Chu State, and taking the Ru Water, there are still families like Cai Guo and Jiang Guo."
If that's the case, that's good.""
Don't worry, when I was carrying dung and burying the soil, I had a fellow Taoist, and now I am raising horses in Zhuma City.""
Raising horses for a business is a rich man.""
How dare you call yourself a rich man, there are no more than ten good horses in his hands, and no more than a hundred horses, but he also borrowed the prestige of the Chu people to sell a horse, and half of it must be handed over to Zhumacheng for the Chu people.However, it is also the case, I know a lot of officials in Macheng, and it is much more convenient for me to go and spread rumors. ”"Good!"
After listening to Jia Gui's description, Sha Hum was immediately overjoyed, with the help of such a local snake, it was easy to make a name for himself in the business district of Zhuma City.With an admission ticket, it's much more convenient to spread any rumors.Sha Hum even thought about it, he and Jia Gui came over this time, they brought a lot of white sand linen, and while asking for buying, they could also act as intelligence dealers, and package and sell the news together with the white sand linen cloth in the way of sales.At that time, even if Cai Guo wanted to check the source of the news, he could only stare dryly.And the boss mentioned the two of them before they left, and the truth of the news was no longer important in front of Cai Guoren at this time.There is only one reason, a reason to rob openly and openly, so Cai Guoren is to strike first, or to do a good job first, in short, he will directly tear his face and do it.In these years, protecting a country and doing a country may be the same country.Like Shen Guo, an unlucky bastard, don't look at the original Cai Guo's abuse, or twice, but the Chu State that can protect him has also destroyed it, and it is also the two times that after Sha Hum and Jia Gui's team arrived in Pingyuyi, they first found a random market and traded some white sand linen cloth, so that the Chu people knew that there was a caravan with good goods from the east.Then the next day, they took the goods again and headed straight for Zhuma City.Zhuma City is not far away, fifty or sixty miles, on the bank of Rushui.After arriving that day, Jia Gui took two "Big Red 01", first inquired where his old friend was, and then put the gift under his arm and ran to visit.
