098 Youzhou

And this is actually a transaction between two people.

Xu Yue agreed to help Gongsun Hao form a reliable prevention and health team.

Gongsun Hao was responsible for helping them find the cousin and escorting their family safely to the door of the relative's house.

At this moment, at the highest point of the building, people wearing cloth masks, one large and one small, looked at the passengers on the deck who consciously abided by the regulations. After inspection, disinfection, and queuing to disembark, they looked at each other and smiled in tacit understanding.

At this moment, Gongsun Hao did not regard the little girl in front of him, who was no taller than his chest, as a child.

In her dark eyes, he saw the wisdom and calmness that only adults can have.

Gongsun Hao couldn't imagine what kind of environment created such a strange little girl, but he knew that he would have at least half a month to get to know their family.

"Next, please." Xu Yue followed the example of an adult and hugged her fists at the scar-faced middle-aged man in front of her.

Gongsun Hao, who had just recovered from a serious illness, twitched his lips slightly, and he couldn't help but snorted when he thought of the salt and ticket money he had lost this time.

Just as he was about to settle the accounts with the little girl, he heard a woman calling from the deck.

One large and one small looked down, Wang holding a long bow in her hand and wearing a mask was waving.

"Young lady, come down!"

"Oh!" Xu Yue obediently agreed, leaving Gongsun Hao behind and hurriedly ran down the side stairs "dong dong dong".

Mrs. Wang took her daughter's little hand, looked her up and down first, then cast a warning glance above, and then took her daughter back.

Gongsun Hao raised his eyebrows in disbelief, did he think he was a human trafficker?

Xu Da, who then came to greet the mother and daughter, glanced at Gongsun Hao, happened to see Gongsun Hao's expression, and replied in his heart: Isn't that you?!

Gongsun Slave Trader Hao: I can't refute it!

...

When Yuyang arrived, Xu Yue and his party of nine did not disembark with the other passengers. Instead, they stayed in the cabin on the ship and waited for the caravan of Gongsun Hao's family for three whole days.

Three days later, after all the cargo on the ship was unloaded, they followed the caravan of Gongsun Hao's family and entered Yuyang County.

As for the specific address of his cousin's house, Xu Da had no memory at all. He only remembered that the letter sent by his cousin mentioned Yuyang County.

He said that when he arrived at Yuyang County, the seat of Yuyang County, someone would come to pick him up.

Unfortunately, fifteen years have passed since this news was released, and the statute of limitations has long since expired.

But Gongsun Hao has promised to help find someone, and even if there are no clues, he will try his best to investigate.

Fortunately, this person married into their Gongsun family, and the location was definitely in Yuyang County. As long as you know a name, it is not difficult to find out.

"What's the name of your aunt? What's the name of the person you're marrying?" Gongsun Hao asked doubtfully, putting his hand-warming velvet sleeves in his sleeves.

Xu Yue and everyone looked at Xu Da, who was the only one who knew the clues about his cousin's grandmother.

Xu Da replied seriously: "My aunt is Gongsun Xu. I don't know the name of the person she married."

Gongsun Hao's brows immediately wrinkled, and coupled with the terrifying scar from the left forehead to the top of his right eye, it could scare a child to tears.

Xu Da innocently spread his hands, "How do I, a junior like me, know my aunt's maiden name? If everyone knew it, my little girl wouldn't have to teach you. Why can't we find it ourselves if we look for it ourselves?"

Gongsun Hao could not refute again. He took a deep breath of the cold northern spring breeze to suppress the annoyance in his heart. He turned around and coldly ordered Shi Shi:

"Go find it!"

Shitou made a grimace, agreed with difficulty, then turned around and threw the problem to his subordinates to solve.

The aura of the fox pretending to be a tiger was even more powerful than Gongsun Hao himself. The people under his command did not dare to neglect him at all, so they specially mobilized a team of people and dispersed on horseback to inquire about the news.

The long horse team lined up from the beginning of the city to the end of the city, and the group of people slowly left the city.

Gongsun Hao was such an interesting person that he allocated two carriages specifically for Xu Yue and his party.

It's just that most carriages at this time had no carriages, and only had a cover on the head to block the sun.

There is no other reason than that the current carriage is a two-wheeled carriage. It has no bearings and cannot be four-wheeled. Adding carriages will affect the stability of the carriage and cause it to overturn.

Gongsun Hao's fleet needed to carry goods, and the carriages with extra carriages were flashy, so he abandoned them.

He himself traveled on horseback and almost never rode in a carriage.

Youzhou is the northernmost place east of Daqing and the border between Daqing and the northern nomads.

Since the founding of the Daqing Kingdom, the counties in Youzhou have had many conflicts with the nomadic peoples in the north. The two sides have gone through both the honeymoon period and the Cold War period.

Now seeing the repeated changes in the political situation in Daqing, this powerful country that has stood for three hundred years is on the verge of collapse, and the nomadic people in the north are also beginning to make moves.

In the three hundred years that Daqing has been standing, the northern nomadic people have changed from the former Xiongnu family to the current northern Huns moving south.

A complex situation that jumps back and forth.

These three nomadic groups all had conflicts with Daqing, but in the end they were defeated by Daqing's strong military strength.

It was precisely because Daqing suppressed the Northern Xiongnu that the Xianbei people in the east had the opportunity to move north and replace the Northern Xiongnu's previous position.

Wuhuan, however, was weak. In order to survive between the two large tribes of the Northern Xiongnu and Xianbei, they had to seek refuge in Daqing and became a vassal state of Daqing. Whenever there was a war in Daqing, mercenaries would be recruited from the Wuhuan people.

Wuhuan Cavalry, famous in the north, is a powerful cavalry unit.

There were Wuhuan people in the middle, dealing with the Huns and Xianbei people, and the Daqing border was peaceful for a long time.

This was the honeymoon period between Wuhuan and Daqing. When the two countries were most friendly, Daqing allowed some Wuhuan people to migrate south.

However, the current situation changed. The Xianbei people rose up in the north, part of the Wuhuan people were annexed, and the country was divided into Northern Wuhuan, which was dependent on Xianbei, and Southern Wuhuan, which was friendly with Daqing.

Now the northern part of Youzhou still has close contacts with the southern Wuhuan people.

People in the Central Plains have always thought that Youzhou is a poor place, but they don't know that Youzhou has a harsh climate, but it has seas, plains, and hills. Fisheries, animal husbandry, and agriculture have all been fully developed in this place.

In addition, Youzhou has long-term trade with foreigners on the border, using Daqing's salt, oil and various daily necessities to exchange their cattle, sheep and horses with the nomadic people, and make profits from it.

Therefore, the people living here are happier than those living in the turbulent Central Plains.

However, Youzhou also has to deal with pressure from foreign tribes, so it is not a paradise.

Here you not only have to be careful of the Wuhuan people who come to catch the autumn wind from time to time, but you also have to take good care of your cattle and sheep to avoid being robbed by the Xianbei people.
