There was an incident of tomb robbing and unpacking in the north, and the logistics team in the south had crossed the river and started to follow the route of Dongci, continuing to drive towards the Huai River area. In general, half the day of departure has passed. Months, this time we are still traveling along the route we took to the Central Plains last time, and the speed is not slow.
But this formation really frightened some other tribes.
.........
It’s the Zhushan area again. The fellow villagers from Zhushan once entertained these people when they went to the Central Plains. At that time, Nuzai used the pseudonym Gongsun Che. After all, the last time he went there, his purpose was to return to Chifang. In the ancestral land, I was afraid that people from the Long Di clan or the Jinyun clan would recognize me on the road using my real name. At that time, the Chi Fang clan happened to be on the anti-rebellion list.
There is no doubt that my dear ancient people, your name is on the anti-rebellion list of Emperor Yan's faction, and it is your entire clan.
[A group of people walking along Chifang accidentally fell into the Huai River. Then he shouted for help. Jinyun patrol soldiers heard this and turned a blind eye, but continued walking and talking and laughing as before. The passerby of the Chifang family was so impatient that he shouted that he was a descendant of Emperor Yan! The two soldiers were shocked when they heard this. They quickly jumped into the river, dragged the passerby to the shore and tied him up. 】
But Yu Zai was so clever, just like Sun Dasheng checked the book of life and death, Gou Azai burned Gao's Mountain, not only canceled the list of suppressing rebels, but also robbed the Jinyun clan in the Huaibei area and directly contributed to the current Huaihe area. A huge country emerged.
Tiger Country!
This tiger country has a certain status in history, but I won’t mention it for now.
First of all, when the villagers from Zhushan went out to hunt and catch fish by the water, they saw a large number of people rushing over from the other side of the mountain and the other side of the sea. They carried swords, guns, swords and halberds, carried axes and axes, and rode horses There were a bunch of cows and horses, and two chickens, and they were also pulling huge vehicles one after another, loaded with supplies. There were people carrying bows and arrows, holding crossbows, and six grenades hanging on their waists...
The people of the Zhushan clan were immediately frightened. They felt that they had encountered a plundering war. All in all, everyone usually did not do anything harmful to nature and just lived their own small lives in this area. As a result, it seems that today is going to be a disaster. , what else is there to say? Hurry up and let everyone run away. Remember to use high-speed movement...
Just when the people of the Zhushan clan were about to run away, someone came back and shouted loudly, saying that they were not fighting, but the flag of Hongzhou. Now among all regions, only Hongzhou has its own flag. Other than that, the Central Plains , but people in the south don’t know that there is such a thing as a flag in the Central Plains, and the flag of Hongzhou is still easy to recognize in the south.
Hongzhou people have business relationships with people from various regions. The Zhushan family once entertained the leaders of Hongzhou, so they obtained trading rights. With the help of the people in Hongzhou, they have escaped from poverty in the past few years and are considered to be relatively wealthy. After that, the tribe began to develop in a good direction. When they heard that people from Hongzhou were coming, they were relieved.
And this situation was also seen by the Emperor of Heaven and the princes of the Central Plains.
Peng Zu spoke to Di Fangxun and pointed calmly at the Zhushan people who were not far away. He was originally very scared, but came back after seeing the flag clearly.
"This is a kind of influence. If you are a virtuous person, no one in the world will be afraid of him. If you are kind and righteous, everyone in the world will be willing to be friends with him. So... Azai's words are used in Here, I think, this is what he meant by 'the right person has many helpers, but the unfaithful person has few helpers'."
Tao is the law of heaven. Among the people in the south, people from the Central Plains are generally familiar with and accepted the setting of Tao = law of heaven. They also feel that compared with the two words of heaven, it is obviously the one word of Tao. It's easier to say.
The princes recorded this incident in their own little notebooks. It is not known what kind of fables they would make up in their mouths, but they all approved of it.
He has strong military force and does not bully others. Instead, he helps other tribes. As other tribes become rich, Hongzhou also becomes richer and more powerful, just like the Suiming Kingdom in the legend before it decayed.
The Suiming Kingdom was the first country to learn to use flames. There are many innate sacred beings in it who are born to master flames and bring light and hope to the human race. A long time ago, this country was originally a gathering of a group of fire wizards and the original fire makers. But later, they controlled the power of fire and the method of making fire in the Sui tree. The giant tree towered into the sky and the fire flickered. Wherever this tree could shine, everyone should have fire. Available.
But later, the people of this country took the Sui wood as their own. Anyone who wanted to get the flame had to offer sacrifices and pray to the Sui Ming Kingdom. If he got the fire without permission, he would be extinguished and the person would be executed. A person who accidentally gets fire.
At this time, this ancient country had begun to decay, but just before it completely fell, the Suiren clan appeared. The Suiren clan mastered the method of making artificial fire. It was very simple, but it caused the rule of the Suiming Kingdom to fall overnight. .
In the primitive era, the transmission and blocking of information was not so timely. The Suiren clan had spread the seeds of fire all over the world, and the Suiming Kingdom gradually disappeared into history. About the time after the Zhisheng clan, they no longer existed. The descendants of these fire wizards and fire keepers may have dispersed.
"I hope Hongzhou will not fall like the Suiming Kingdom..."
After recording this incident, some princes added text later, but this was refuted by other princes. Some princes believed that Hongzhou was not the same as Suiming, and that Suiming was established by a group of superior pioneers. The kingdom, but later changed its flavor. Its existence was not even as long-lasting and just as the legend of Huaxu's kingdom, let alone the current era of emperors.
"Don't worry, Hongzhou has a more advanced system than the Central Plains. The Suiming Kingdom...do they have a system? They are dominated by desires. The emergence of morality only exists among individuals. The people have to rely on the first fire keepers and the fire. Witches can obtain fire by giving alms. In a sense, in the eyes of Hongzhou people, we have heard in the school before - he who does not work does not get anything."
"Even in the Central Plains, benevolence, righteousness and morality are supplemented by feudal princes from all directions, coupled with strong force and strict laws, to restrain...not to mention restraining the world, at least the land of Taotang, Shangqiu, and Fengling Zhidu, Xiyue Taihua, Weishui River and Luoshui River, Dahe Longmen, Mengzhu Daze...the governance of these places has been very effective."
"The four directions are still lacking, but the center is not a serious problem."
"Hongzhou's laws, morality, benevolence, and wisdom are currently much stronger than those in the Central Plains. In every era, a person will appear who will lead the world to change. We are so lucky to have witnessed such people, and not only to one person.”
"Rather than saying that Hongzhou looks like the Suiming Kingdom, in fact they are more like the Suiren clan! Spreading fire all over the world."
The prince expressed his admiration, but in fact, when he praised the emerging figures of the younger generation, he actually ignored that he was also a hero of this era.
The Three Emperors and Five Emperors, especially the end of the Five Emperors period, is called the "Heroic Age" in ancient times because from Yao to Qi, during this period, Yao, Shun, and Yu were accompanied by countless brave figures. They may have It becomes a myth, transformed into a deity in the story, or a heroic ancestor, cited as a classic by future generations, and passed down orally from generation to generation.
Then, as if he had exhausted the fortune of an era, Qi indulged in pleasure in his later years, and the emergence of his descendants, Hou Yi and Han Zhuo, led to the loss of Taikang and almost made the Xia Dynasty suffer.
The princes were talking, and Hongzhou's logistics team also stopped temporarily. It was getting late and they took a rest in Zhushan. At the same time, temporary shops were opened. People from the Zhushan clan began to run around, telling the small tribes in the surrounding mountains and fields that there was something coming this time. The big deal is coming, if you don’t buy it, it will be gone next time!
The temporarily opened market soon became bustling with people. Many of the grain and grass supplies brought from the south were originally intended to be sold or exchanged on the road. After all, along the way, grain and grass must be replenished at any time, and the exchanged materials can be promptly It can make up for a certain amount of losses, but also make money, and it also deepens the trade route...
As the big business leader in the south, Xu'er was conducting a survey and statistics on what people bought in the market. Peng Zu came over curiously to take a look, not understanding the significance of this. Xu'er was about to laugh, but when he saw it was this old man, he immediately shut up. Quickly explain to Peng Zu.
Xu'er said, this is market research. I am a businessman. I want to see what people like, what they lack, what sells well and what doesn't.
If you find that people mostly buy clothes and other things instead of meat and utensils, then you can be sure that this place has a lot of stupid people and a lot of money, so come quickly.
Because only when you are full will you think about wearing good-looking clothes. In the tribal era, the most important things were livestock, meat, grain seeds, pottery, and leather.
If you have surplus wealth, you will buy clothes made of woven flowers. By conducting detailed market research in each place, you can find out what people in a region need most, as well as the industries they are best at, as well as the local population and the development of this region in the next few years. come out.
"Purchasing power is equal to living standards, and from the items people demand in each region, we can know the average local production level and living conditions."
Xu Er said it all, but it was not as refreshing as the last sentence. Peng Zu understood it all at once, and he suddenly became enlightened.
Buying, buying, buying means living a good life.
That seems to be the truth! If you don’t have money and want to buy something, you can’t chop off your hands, you can only sell your kidneys.
Peng Zu glanced at Xu'er in surprise and asked, "Are you from the Central Plains?"
Xu'er politely stated that he was indeed from the Central Plains. He was once a member of a tribe that did business near the Xue tribe, and he lived on the border between the Central Plains and Dongyi.
Xue tribe... Peng Zu suddenly thought of Xi Zhong. This kid has grown up now, and he is in charge of the entire car manufacturing industry in Hongzhou at a young age. He has a bright future. If he returns to the Central Plains, he will definitely be I can push Master Panyu down.
In the past, only those who were best at making instruments could hold the position of "Qiao Chui". In the early days of Yao's rule, it was the ancient immortal Chi Jiang Zi Yu who was Qiao Chui, and in the later period, it was Pan Yu. But in the south, you can pick up such powerful people on the ground. If you throw a brick casually, it will hit at least three or five bricks.
Not long after staying in Zhushan, under the warm greetings of the local villagers, the logistics brigade set off again. In the next half month, which was also the time when the tomb robbery incident occurred, the logistics brigade in Hongzhou passed through the torrent of water. The tribe, the Yueshan tribe, the area where the Lingjiatan people once robbed... Along the way, they were not only doing business, but also flexing their muscles, and they were also recruiting workers. When they met a tribe that liked them, they immediately became flooded. The state man quietly went over and handed someone a small note.
Fellow countrymen, if you want to be rich, come to our south. The recruitment of workers now includes food, accommodation, and technical skills.
And the people in those areas had never seen such a thing as paper, and their eyes were extremely shocked...
Many tribal leaders, deceived by the people of Hongzhou, felt that the place in the south was really as magical as it was said to be? At this time, it shows that information is hardly transmitted in this era... Oxen and horses are very slow, and mountains and seas are far away. When going out, you rely on walking, and when conveying information, you rely on roaring.
The Hongzhou people were also unambiguous. They set off a few fireworks on the spot and took out iron pots and other things. To the leaders, the fireworks were thought to be witchcraft. Although they applauded, they were not interested. Everyone rushed to pay a high price to buy the iron pot.
Do you know the value of this thing? An authentic Hongzhou iron pot is going to be auctioned for 87 million (dog heads)!
