It was not until Wang Fu ordered Zhang Jiao to come that the soldiers discovered that Zhang Jiao had passed away long ago. He sat quietly under the tree and could no longer talk about his fairy island to everyone.
They were stunned for a long time, and then hurried to report to Wang Fu. Wang Fu thought for a moment, and then asked Huang Zhong to deal with Zhang Jiao's funeral, while he went to their village with the natives.
Huang Zhong only returned with four or five soldiers, because he didn't know much about this place, and Wang Fu didn't know if there were any enemies here, or a powerful force like Guishang, so he didn't dare to spread the soldiers too thin.
Huang Zhong returned to his hometown and looked at Zhang Jiao who was passing away with a smile. He bowed heavily and had people lift him up and carry him back to the shore. After the soldiers who stayed behind saw him, they also kept asking questions.
When they learned that Zhang Jiao was dead, they carried him back to the ship in silence.
After a Han person dies, close relatives usually put a piece of jade or gold or silver in his mouth. Huang Zhong turned over and over again and found a medium-sized piece of platinum, put it in Zhang Jiao's mouth, and asked people to
After Haosheng took care of it, he went to Wang Fu again.
Wang Fu did not reveal the news about Zhang Jiao to the soldiers. The natives were driven away by the soldiers. At the front were some original mountain people, led by You Tu. They had lived in the mountains and forests for a long time.
The living environment was not much different from this place. In order to withstand the humidity, heat and jungle pests in the south, Huang Zhong recruited more soldiers from the mountain people and even barbarians. The rest were all from the south.
There was no acclimatization.
Especially the mountain people, who have been in the woods all year round, are very familiar with traps and various obstacles. The traps of these indigenous people are much worse than them. On several occasions, these indigenous people tried to lure them into the forest.
The traps were all discovered by Youtu. Youtu followed these traps and searched little by little, but still found the indigenous village before dark. Wang Fu gave an order, and the soldiers attacked the dilapidated village.
.
Since the natives did not resist, Wang Fu did not order to kill them. Instead, he began to search the village. The first thing was to search for the individual wooden houses. These wooden houses were obviously much more luxurious than those around them. If
If there are any valuable items here, they must be in these wooden houses. Wang Fu did not personally participate in these. He was a little worried. He had seen that Zhang Jiao was not feeling well earlier, and he was afraid that he would not be able to hold on for too long.
But he didn't expect that this horn would be so useless. He died just after he went to sea. Who should lead the way next? Zhang Jiao was one of the few officials who knew about the sea area going south. Apart from him,
But no one can safely lead this fleet south to search. They have hundreds of large ships, which can be regarded as gathering almost all the naval strength of Yangzhou. If something goes wrong, what will happen?
It seems that this time, he will return in vain. Without Zhang Jiao, Wang Fu will not take the risk and continue sailing. The current plan is to return to Funan first and use a small fleet to explore the surrounding waters.
Train a new batch of talents who are familiar with the surrounding seas as soon as possible so that they can continue their plans. Wang Fu sighed helplessly. Huang Zhong, who had just arrived, happened to see Wang Fu sighing melancholy.
Huang Zhong was stunned and couldn't help but think that everyone in the world said that Wang Jiexin was a traitor, but he didn't expect that he would also sigh for Zhang Jun's death. It seemed that he was also a sentimental person...
This voyage from March to September in the 18th year of Jianning lasted for a total of six months and was stopped due to Zhang Jiao's death. However, Wang Fu did not return to Yangzhou and continued to be in the Funan area, constantly dispatching small boats as a
After inquiring about the use of the surrounding sea area, Wang Fu also faithfully wrote a memorial to the temple. In the memorial, Wang Fu first wrote down the gains of this trip south, such as how many islands were discovered, how many areas were explored, and how many areas were mapped.
The latest maps and the like.
Later, it showed the casualties, shipwrecks, etc., and finally showed that Zhang Jiao was dead and could not continue the voyage.
Hearing that Zhang Jiao died, even though he shouldn't have, the emperor still felt an inexplicable excitement in his heart. Since he ascended the throne, he has been worried and on guard at all times. Everyone knows that there are tens of thousands of embroidered messengers.
Little did they know that between ten and eighty percent of the embroidered envoys were in Jizhou, constantly monitoring the alchemists in various counties and counties. In recent years, it was the alchemists who Zhang He executed the most. It was also because the emperor was so angry about Wang Fen in Jizhou before.
Because of the fear of the foreign warriors.
For so many years, he has been hesitating in his heart whether to kill or use him. Master He repeatedly dissuaded him. If the country is peaceful, evildoers will not appear. However, he still has the murderous intention towards Zhang Jiao in his heart. Now, he is like a giant stone.
After landing, his heart felt extremely relaxed. What was recorded in the heavenly book never happened. Zhang Jiao, the traitor who was supposed to disrupt the world, died outside the territory for the Han... This is really a trick of fate...
On that day, the emperor was extremely happy to favor Beauty Wang.
Zhang Jiao's death did not cause a single ripple in this magnificent world. People are always dying and others are being born. The people and officials did not have so much time to remember the passing of the alchemist. In the temple,
Only Mr. Yuan lamented for him. If he had not died, a large amount of wealth might have been on board the ship and headed to the treasury by this time.
As a result, everything in the south came to a halt, and Cui Shi did an extremely good job in the disaster relief work in the north. Under his unified coordination, Xing Ziang, Lu Zhi, Tao Qian, Jia Xu and others exerted all their abilities.
, Originally Cui Shi could not command these people, but Jia Xu told the little fat man that if he wanted things to go smoothly, he must stand behind Cui Shi and let Cui Shi make overall arrangements, and he must not interfere.
Although the little fat man also wants to make a career, he is self-aware. A brat like him is absolutely incapable of discussing major matters with these big guys. Brats like Xun Yu are still in the minority after all. Facts have proved that Jia Xu
His persuasion was correct. After the little fat man supported Cui Shi, Cui Shi could command the officials in the whole north. In the name of the prince, no officials would dare to disobey.
Even officials such as Lu Zhi, Xing Zi'ang, and Dong Zhuo, who were extremely at odds with each other, and long-standing rivals like Cao Cao and Tao Qian, could only obey Cui Shi's orders. Cui Shi was not good at practical work, but he was good at making big plans. In order to avoid disasters, he
He carried out new measures on stoves, clothes, houses, roads, ink stones, dry firewood and other items. Some items require a large amount of hoarding, while others need to be improved and promoted.
By October, Cui Shi was already very confident, and he had already done everything in place to deal with the snow disaster. He even wrote three books, one on disaster relief, to provide relief to temple officials. Gong Tianzi's mainly talks about how the temple should respond after a major disaster occurs in the local area. The emperor simply read it and found that although the writing was a bit rough and not refined, it was enough for future generations to use.
The second part was written for local officials, naturally to teach them how to carry out disaster relief work as quickly as possible. The last part may be the worst-written book since Cui Gong wrote it. It is full of common sayings and is extremely popular. This is because, This book was written after what the common people had learned, and it also had an educational effect. Nowadays, most of the common people have also graduated from official schools, and many are literate. Therefore, Cui Gong did not let the officials popularize it for them, but directly distributed it. When it comes to the people, let the people learn on their own initiative.
With the completion of the three books, scholars copied them one after another and spread them among the people. Cui Gong's prestige increased greatly, and he became the only Confucian scholar among the great Confucian scholars who could compete with Zheng Xuan and Cai Yong. Because of the three They all worked or studied in Liangzhou. At that time, the people called them the Three Confucians of Xiliang.
