The first thousand four hundred and eighteenth chapters Jiange and Cui Wei
Chapter 1418 The Jiangge is majestic and Cui Wei
After seeing off the caravan leader, the identities of the remaining people became obvious.
The two women who spoke at first were Cai Zhaoji and Zhen Luo, and they were accompanied by Diao Chan, Ma Dai and a few others.
They are the executors sent to Shu by Youjian Villa this time.
This was a decision that was made a long time ago, but only now has it been put into action.
At present, the situation in Yizhou is changing rapidly, and the leader of the caravan surnamed Hong is actually their alternative. Initially, Cai Zhaoji and others had already decided on the candidate to be their contact, but the other party suddenly had no news half a month ago, so this kind of talent is not allowed.
Alternative solutions are not enabled.
One of the reasons why they headed to Basi County as their first stop in Shu was to find their previous contacts in Shu.
The other party is the group of veterans of Youjian Villa who followed Yi Xiaotian around a long time ago. Because of their rich experience, Yi Xiaotian assigned them to Shu in advance.
However, the sudden disappearance of the other party directly disrupted Cai Zhaoji's original plan. The important thing is that even if there is no contact person, Cai Zhaoji and the others will come to Shu. This is a fact that will not change because of someone's disappearance.
The question is, does the sudden disappearance of this person indicate an unexpected change in the situation in Brazil County?
You know, compared to Chengdu, starting from Langzhong, whether heading east or north, is more convenient and safer.
Liu Zhang had heavy troops in Zitong and Fujian respectively. If the situation develops and everyone has to flee Shu directly from Chengdu, the difficulties they will face will rise sharply.
This is not allowed by the plan.
All in all, everyone who seems to have entered Sichuan relatively smoothly will face the real test next.
——
When they arrived near Jiange, it was getting late and everyone had to camp on the spot to rest.
In half a day, they only walked less than twenty miles, which was already quite slow.
There is a poem that says: The sword pavilion is so majestic and Cui Wei, one man can guard the gate, but ten thousand men cannot open it.
What I’m talking about is the steep terrain of Jiange. There is only a long and narrow ancient road that can be traveled nearby. It is often muddy due to rainfall. Passers-by who move forward in a hurry can easily lose their footing and fall off the cliff. Therefore, even if you are in a hurry, at least this section of the road will be covered.
Everyone has to be careful.
Before arriving, Jiang Wan gave Cai Zhaoji a relatively detailed topographic map of Yizhou. Thanks to the existence of this map, everyone would not get lost in the mountains.
Not long after, a temporary camp was set up, and the smell of campfire filled the air.
Cai Zhaoji summoned everyone and sat in a circle. After a few days, she finally had the opportunity to explain the next things to pay attention to.
That's why Yi Xiaotian let Cai Zhaoji lead the team... After years of mutual support, Cai Zhaoji has been closely influenced by Yi Xiaotian's side. For example, Cai Zhaoji is also quite familiar with Yi Xiaotian's way of thinking.
Think twice before you act, you may be a little careless in doing things, but you are extremely responsible for human life.
Valuing human life has always been the creed of Youjian Villa, and Cai Zhaoji obviously knows it by heart.
"When we get to Hanshou City, we will rent a big boat and sail down the Western Han River. The speed will be much faster."
"Ma Dai and the soldiers of Shenjian Battalion have worked hard during this period, and now is not the time to rest."
Cai Zhaoji sighed, looked around, then looked at Ma Dai aside, and said to him.
"Sister Zhaoji, there is no need to worry about rough guys like us. My husband ordered us to accompany him, and even Xu Chu was not allowed to follow us. If we trust us so much, how can we complain about the hardship and tiredness even after a long journey?"
"Sisters, if you feel any discomfort, please tell us as soon as possible. Although a carriage cannot be driven on such a steep terrain, it is still no problem to make some sedan chairs to carry you."
Ma Dai put on a casual look and even had the opportunity to make fun of her, which made Cai Zhaoji feel more at ease.
Ma Jun on the other side seemed absent-minded. He was squatting alone, picking up a branch in his hand and writing something on the ground.
Diao Chan came close to her, looked at the paintings he drew on the ground, and asked doubtfully:
"Deheng, what are you doing?"
"Well, this is the wooden cow and flowing horse that Mr. made before. I saw that the terrain of Shu is different from that of Hanzhong, so I wondered if I could modify it to make it more suitable for the environment of Shu."
"I think if there are wooden cows and horses that are more suitable for this area, it will definitely reduce our transportation costs in the future."
The wooden ox and flowing horse that Ma Jun mentioned were specially designed by Yi Xiaotian for Jiang Wan's logistics and heavy transportation during the battle in Hanzhong.
In the First World War in Hanzhong, the wooden ox and flowing horse that shined so brilliantly were a means of transportation specially adapted to the terrain of the sloping valley. However, the reason why they could not be used on a large scale in the entire north is also very simple - it is just that the wooden ox and flowing horse were specially made transportation tools.
rather than conventional means of transportation.
"I see, but before we arrive in Langzhong, I'm afraid we don't have much time left for you to improve the wooden cows and flowing horses."
"After arriving in Langzhong, Deheng, we still need you to turn over the car as soon as possible in exchange for our next start-up capital."
Cai Zhaoji nodded, but still reminded Ma Jun.
When it comes to the next plan, three points are crucial.
The first of these is naturally to find the informant who stayed in Yizhou at Youjian Villa. If they can find the informant, there is actually no need to use the letter of recommendation given to them by the caravan leader.
After all, everyone already knows from the letters sent back by previous informants that there is actually a more reliable seller in Chengdu.
It's just that if there is no informant to connect him, no matter how long Cai Zhaoji and the others look for, the other party will not show up.
This is one point.
In addition, the overturn that Cai Zhaoji just mentioned is the first goal they must achieve next.
The people outside Chang'an City have already become a group of farmers with the highest real estate in the Yongliang area because of the overturning machine developed by Ma Jun.
The city of Chang'an, which was originally short of water and rain, has now gone from almost all the farmland to a state of affluence thanks to a small overturn. It is now full of rich land. This is definitely a golden sign that does not need much publicity.
Before coming, Cai Zhaoji had a good understanding of the current situation in Yizhou.
We know that because of Liu Zhang's militarism and inaction, the Chengdu area, which was supposed to have bumper harvests year after year, actually fell into a food shortage.
At this time, if someone comes to exchange for goods with a rollover cart that is said to be able to quickly change the status quo of farmland, even if Liu Zhang himself is not happy, there will definitely be a large number of nobles coming to ask for the production method of the rollover cart.
This is also the purpose of Cai Zhaoji and others taking Ma Jun.
