Bai Guo signaled to Nie Feng to keep the people behind him from following. Nie Feng nodded and followed Ginguo and Yong Xinglan into the house.
At this moment, Ging Guo re-understood the number 'five hundred and seventy-nine'.
Old, weak, sick, disabled, pregnant, young...
There is everything here except strong young people.
At this moment, Bai Guo even doubted what he said, "There is always a way to survive in three months."
They couldn't do anything for three months... for several months.
"What do you think they will do if I don't help them?"
No matter what, he just died in the tsunami.
The leader used Cheng Zhou Guo's words. I don't know if he didn't want them to hear the meaning, but people who had been with him for a long time could vaguely hear something, so many people were lying on the bed in this sentence. Everyone turned their heads and looked over, with many wry smiles in their eyes.
Now Bai Guo understands that the fifty thousand taels are not tolls, but burial expenses.
None of these people can live without him.
"There is no purpose in showing these to you." The leader looked at Bai Guo, "My name is Guan Yan, and the name of the caravan is Langping. If you help me, I will give you all the treasures in the house."
Bai Guo shook his head, "You can buy all these people with just those things of yours. It's okay for you to take them to Hongliang Kingdom and use them to exchange for a normal way of living. You have repeatedly emphasized that you want to live a normal life." Why did you bring them to Chengzhou?"
Treasures are treasures wherever they go, not to mention fifty thousand taels of silver. With these existing, it is not a foolish dream to find another way out in Hongliang Kingdom, but it is even less likely to be in Chengzhou Kingdom than in Hongliang Kingdom.
Ruiyu Prefecture, Huiping Prefecture and Fengguo are two neighboring countries that have rarely disturbed each other for many years, but this time Fengguo Xianburen suddenly attacked Ruiyu Prefecture. How could they forget so quickly?
The pensions had just been distributed, the corpses had just been buried, and the families had just recovered from the grief of losing their husbands, sons, and relatives. How could they easily accept the entry of sneak attackers like them now?
Gingguo has his own confidence in many things, but in this matter, Ginguo is not absolutely sure.
After getting off the boat, what Gingguo took away was only three colored glazes. The colored glazes are beautiful and one of the seven treasures of Buddhism. They are spiritual objects that can cure diseases and ward off evil spirits.
Ging Guo played with it, and the whole inn was quiet.
It was Yong Xinglan who booked the entire inn, claiming to protect her safety, but in fact it was probably because he did not have absolute confidence in himself.
Just like her.
Even if she knew it, even if she understood it, even if she understood everything, the choice she made this time was no different from anyone else's.
Even if you understand, you are powerless, and if you understand, you are incompetent.
When Yong Xinglan knocked on the door of Gingguo's room, it was still very quiet inside. Yong Xinglan was worried and didn't dare to go there casually, so he went to look for Ni Feng. Ni Feng didn't think anything was wrong with Ginguo, so he shouted: "Master belongs to me." The next one is coming in.”
But before he could force the door, he pulled it open from inside. Bai Guo said, "Go get the chessboard."
Then Bai Guo suddenly looked at Yong Xinglan and said, "You play the next game with me."
After Gingguo learned chess, she rarely found anyone to play. Most of the time, the emperor would look for her.
Seeing that Ging Guo's expression was not as relaxed as when he got off the boat, Yong Xinglan responded, but when he actually got off the boat, Yong Xinglan realized that he had underestimated Ging Guo, and it became even more difficult to make the move later.
But Yong Xinglan could feel that it was him who was having trouble making the move, but it was the other person who was feeling heavy.
Yong Xinglan felt weak for a while.
If the opponent's mind is not on the chess game and he can't play it himself, then what's the point of playing the chess game.
"You said they knew clearly that there was no way to survive in Chengzhou Kingdom, so why did they still have to go to Chengzhou Kingdom Middle School?"
Bai Guo placed another stone on the chessboard. Yong Xinglan looked at it and saw that it was not easy to place the stone, and said, "Maybe it's because he is from Chengzhou Middle School."
"Growing up in Chengzhou Junior High School, everything I encountered was solved by the state, so when something happened, the first thing I thought of was Chengzhou Junior High School."
The one who thought he could help him was still Cheng Zhouguo.
"Does he like Cheng Zhouguo?"
If you like it, why don't you think about the people of Chengzhou, the people of Ruiyu Prefecture and Huiping Prefecture, and the soldiers?
"Like it, otherwise why would he have to return to Chengzhou with the people he thinks are important?"
There were no new moves on the chessboard, but Bai Guo's eyes did not move away from it.
Yong Xinglan looked at the chess game with a winner and asked, "Who taught you how to play chess?"
Bai Guo raised his eyes and looked at Yong Xinglan, who said: "If you have any questions, go to whoever teaches you."
The chess game has been solved, but the chess game in my mind has not yet been settled.
Bai Guo felt that what Yong Xinglan said was right. Since he couldn't solve it himself, he should find someone who could. A dead end would not always be a dead end.
"I asked you before why you wanted those children in Fengzhou to learn architecture, and you said you wanted to give them a way to survive."
Yong Xinglan took back the black and white pieces on the chessboard and continued: "There is no difference between now and before, it's just more difficult, but these are not necessarily difficult for you."
Yong Xinglan raised his eyes and looked at Bai Guo, "There are only two black and white pieces on the chessboard, but you have more than these in your hand."
Bai Guo felt something faintly pass by, incredibly fast.
"Ruiyu Prefecture and Huiping Prefecture were formerly the Kingdom of Sha, and they had conflicts and wars with the soldiers and generals of the Chengzhou Kingdom. Whether they were from the Feng Kingdom or not is not important in this matter."
"The fact that they want to leave means that they have left Fengguo. Maybe sometimes some things are simpler than you think."
Ging Guo didn't know what could be simpler, but Ging Guo captured that moment of clarity.
"The people in Fengguo want to leave Fengguo, and my caravans and private soldiers need people." Gingo gently rubbed his fingertips, "Chengzhou State also needs people, as long as it does not cause riots. "
No country would like more people, because only with more people can it have more labor force. With more labor force, a country will be more prosperous and can better protect its people from harm.
It's just that the country needs to pay too much time and energy to accept the people, especially this kind of people. This leads to the fact that no one dares to take the responsibility if this thing goes wrong, and no one is willing to do such a thing.
Ging Guo rubbed her fingertips and looked at the blank chessboard and said, "Let me think about it."
I don’t know what Yong Xinglan came up with, but that night there was a constant sound of the chess pieces falling on the chessboard, one by one, so heavy that it was crisp.
After playing chess in the room for three days, Bai Guo wrote a letter to Xuan Xian and asked Qian Feng to find someone to send the letter back to Kyoto.
Bai Guo didn't know the exact time of the tsunami, but judging from the intensity of their fight in the street, there shouldn't be much time to hesitate.
"Has Feng Guo done anything these days?" Bai Guo asked about Yong Xinglan, and Ni Feng answered first, "No, but Hongliang Kingdom has banned the people of Feng Guo from continuing to go there."
"However, the soldiers below have told me that the toll of fifty taels of silver per person may increase in the future."
Fifty taels of silver is a fantasy for ordinary people.
The common people whose families can't afford a tael of silver are the most common people that Bai Guo has seen in recent years. It's already difficult for them to survive. Where do they get so much money?
Fengguo is not as stable as the people of Chengzhou. How many of them can take advantage of it?
Yong Xinglan said: "Hongliang Kingdom has ignored Fengguo since Fengguo promised to give Chengzhou the money to buy the city. It seems that this time it intends to make Fengguo's royal family bow its head."
Feng Guo went to Hongliang Kingdom for help, but after Hongliang Kingdom came forward, Feng Guo was worried that Hongliang Kingdom would trick him. So in fact, Feng Guo took the lead in the real negotiations, which made Cheng Zhou Guo easily The reason why there are so many benefits.
But Feng Guo's behavior also completely angered Hongliang State, so even if he knew that the tsunami was an established fact, he did not intend to help Feng Guo, and only waited for Feng Guo to truly surrender.
If it were made clearer, it would be that the Hongliang Kingdom was taming slaves.
No matter how Fengguo is a vassal state, it is also an independent country. Hongliang State's behavior of suppressing and despising them is exactly the reason why Fengguo rebelled and distrusted them.
It's just that even if Fengguo knew it, he could only endure it. The people of a country are not a small number. The longer it is delayed, the more popular it will be. When the time comes, Hongliang Kingdom will still not change anything even if it bows to Hongliang Kingdom. On the contrary, it shows that Fengguo himself is not caring about the lives of the people. How many people will sincerely support their country and Fengguo?
"Waiting." Bai Guo needs to wait for the letter from the palace, as well as the answer to Hongliang's attitude towards Feng Guo and what Feng Guo thinks.
Only with these answers can we feel free to do something.
Yong Xinglan also knew that such things could not be rushed, but when Bai Guo really started to go out to look for goods, Yong Xinglan felt a little uneasy.
On this day, Bai Guo was invited by a boss to see the goods as usual, but Bai Guo met the guide he met that day again.
Compared with the first time, this person is always more embarrassed.
"I've already said that I won't accept your rags here. Now who doesn't want to change their things into gold and silver?!"
The boss led the passers-by out of the gate and then looked at Bai Guo and the others with a completely different look, "Hey, little boss, come here, the one who wants to make you laugh is not me. I am not very particular about things, but look at it." Of the things he brought, can each of them be taken away on the road? This is me. If others are afraid, his legs will be broken directly. You said that time is tight for everyone, right? There is no time. If you want to eat these goods, don’t come to my door. Look at this person who has wasted so much of my time. This is simply murder!"
