"Wuji, a humble gentleman, why do you want to come to 'White Sand'?"
"There is a cloud, the world is like a vast sea, and people are just sand." Shang Wuji smiled, stretched out his hand and said to Li Jie, "You are a pearl, and you have been left behind in Soochow."
Damn it...
Mr. Li's nostrils were dilated. It smelled so good! This flattery... smelled so good!
However, Li Jie said that what Shang Wuji said was true. He was not just a pearl in the sand. It was only thanks to the discerning eyes of a gentleman like Shang Wuji that he could see the brilliance of his hidden talent.
A close friend!
The judge who came to "Baisha Village" to collect loaches again made his whole body hairy when he heard it. He couldn't help but tremble a little, it was so disgusting.
"Huh? The arbitration is also in 'White Sands'?"
As if he had just seen the arbitration, Shang Wuji looked past Li Jie and cupped his fists slightly at him.
"I like to eat loaches on the white sand at the fifth watch, so I came here."
After returning the gift, the referee calmed down and thought that people with the surname of Shang would always move to Yinxiang with no profit. This time, it was very abnormal that his family would move to Yinxiang.
As the family elder of Yunting Wu Geng, he can know a lot of things happening in Suzhou, and the convenience in officialdom is much higher than others.
The merchants could know that Young Master Yin was frustrated on the front line against the "Nanchao clan", and the Zhong family could also know.
And the arbitration knows more, that is, this time the "Nanchao Clan" actually laid an ambush for Gong Ziyin. Not only did they ambush, they also used quite good "Yue Jia" equipment.
Normally speaking, when you see "Yue Jia", you don't need to guess anything. After supporting the "Nanchao Clan", you can directly start a war with the Yue Kingdom. Normally, the Yue Kingdom is completely suppressed, and it costs a lot of money every year.
Only by paying "tribute" can the peace between Wu and Yue be maintained.
But now, it's a bit subtle.
Because King Gou Chen is getting older and is seeking more and more stability. Even if the Yue State is weaker than the Wu State, it is still a regional power. War between big countries never ends so easily.
What if during the war, the great king went to see the late king under the Nine Springs?
In recent years, the king has become more and more striving for stability and happiness. Just look at the fact that he actually used the ever-victorious general Gong Ziyin to conquer the "Nanchao clan", which shows his true mentality.
The king wants a quick victory, so even if he is dealing with a weak chicken like "Nanchao Clan", he must go all out.
I don't want to see any turbulence or instability.
Unfortunately, things backfired and a quick victory was not achieved. The ever-victorious general also suffered a slight setback. Even if the "Nanchao Clan" appeared as a "Vietnam", it would be impossible for them to turn against each other...
Arbitration sighed in his heart and glanced at Li Jie and Shang Wuji. Even a leader of "Shaye" could actually become a local commander. Is this the same king Gou Chen who once escaped hundreds of miles away and shocked Chu and Yue?
You know, in the Yue, Chu, Yangyue and other places, the name of King Wu has long been made up as a big monster that scares children.
Gouchen, in these places, is the name of a big monster that eats people and captures children.
There are big-horned buffaloes in the Chu land, and ferocious "sea dragons" in the Yue country. When the two places make up stories to scare children, they all say that Gouchen is the son of a dragon and an ox.
Although it is malicious slander, is it not out of fear?
Memories flashed through his mind instantly. After calming down, he thought about moving Shang Wuji to Baisha Village and wanted to tell the owner of the family when he got back.
I'm just curious, is the merchant actually willing to let Shang Wuji move to this poor place?
"Yunting Wu knew the destiny earlier. After I settled here, I went to visit Yunting for guidance."
"Good, Wuji has always been fond of learning, and now he knows it."
Seeing the two people talking about each other's business there, Mayor Li immediately became unhappy and said disdainfully: "There is no end to learning. Isn't this a normal thing? As the saying goes, you should live to learn."
When Shang Wuji and Arbitration heard what Mayor Li said, their faces suddenly trembled. When they saw each other's speechless eyes, they immediately laughed.
The referee bowed his hand again, and Shang Wuji returned the courtesy. The two of them did not speak, everything was in silence.
There was no other way, there was a tall, mighty, vulgar guy next to him, who would come out with an amazing and witty saying from time to time, and it was also very reasonable and deafening, who the hell could stand it.
We are all educated people, but we are not as understanding as a "savage". Isn't it like living like a dog for half of our life?
After the arbitration returned to Yunting with the eels and loaches, Mayor Li quickly found a "big pavilion" and let Shang Wuji live in it. He also erected a large wooden sign at the entrance of the yard, which read
A super big word "Shang".
Of course, simplified Chinese.
Shang Wuji had originally expected the accommodation conditions in Baisha Village to be as bad as he imagined.
But he never expected that the environmental conditions greatly exceeded his expectations.
How should I put it, Shang Wuji suddenly felt that the environment in Baisha Village was actually better than his hometown in Yanling.
The "Daxie" has three rooms and one living room, and there are two rows of "wing rooms" in the east and west of the courtyard, with three rooms in each row. There is a well near the east wing, with a "pump" installed on the well, and two rows of bamboo clothes drying racks next to it.
It can be said to be quite considerate. There is a backyard with toilets and separate pits for men and women. Water and straw are added in advance for fermentation.
With such a large scale of housing, except for Baisha Village, no one in "Baisha" can be built in a short period of time. Don't even think about it within three to five months. If you don't search carefully, you may not be able to build it in a year or a half.
stand up.
As for dedicated toilets and well water, even "Black Jiaosha" does not have such a habit.
But in Baisha Village, digging wells and latrines is a mandatory rule.
"When I came to Yinxiang, I thought that my husband was not thoughtful. Now it seems that the 'Baisha Fierce Man' is no ordinary man."
Originally, Li Jie planned to ask someone to help with the placement, but Shang Wuji said that the family had enough manpower and he could do it himself. Li Jie saw that Shang Wuji had many female relatives, so he gave up.
After Li Jie took his people away, Shang Wuji's wife began to comment on Baisha Village and Li Jie.
"If you look at the book on the wooden board outside the wall, you will know that the handsome man from Yinxiang is by no means an ignorant and reckless man."
Although the shape of the glyph is weird, it can be determined that it is writing. Moreover, the "literacy rate" of Baisha Village is extremely high. At least the "crocodile man" who followed Baisha Village, also known as "Baisha Yongfu", can write his own name in a crooked way.
This completely shocked Shang Wuji, but he did not tell anyone else about this discovery.
"Then...my dear, do you want to tell me in detail?"
"Well……"
After hearing his wife's question, Shang Wuji pondered for a while, then walked outside and saw several female family members resting in the pergola in the yard, and shouted: "Ji Mei, follow me."
The female relatives who were talking in the pergola all became quiet. Some of them were curious about Baisha Village, while others were dejected. Their expressions varied, but at this moment, they all looked at the little girl with sympathetic eyes.
girl.
"yes."
The little girl, who was slim and still very childish, arrived in front of the "big pavilion". After bowing, she said: "Brother, why are you calling me?"
"What did Ji Mei think when she saw the 'Baisha Fierce Man' today?"
"Sincerity is a great husband."
"Ji Mei is willing to serve as a concubine to the 'Baisha Mighty Man'?"
Shang Wuji's tone was very calm, and he didn't care about the origin of the Yunyan family or the nobility of the merchant. It is not uncommon these days for the noble to be humble. If he is strong enough, a humble person can still become a king.
As a person who traveled all over the country and stayed in several big countries, Shang Wuji knew that many of the heads of big countries had mothers who were even slaves.
However, there is a difference after all, because Li Jie is obviously nothing.
For many "well-known" women, they would never consider marrying Li Jie, let alone serving him as a concubine.
This is a great shame for a "prosperous" family.
But Shang Wuji seems to be just like his name, he has no taboos.
"concubine?"
Raising her head suddenly, the merchant girl was shocked and looked up at her parents and brother in disbelief. However, she saw only calmness in her brother's eyes.
She knows that she can refuse, but since she was a child, she has known that her elder brother is extremely smart and he can often see things that ordinary people cannot.
She doesn't believe in herself, but she believes in her parents and brothers.
"Not bad, concubine."
Shang Wuji affirmed this point again and again.
"I let my brother make the decision."
"good."
Shang Wuji nodded with satisfaction and actually showed a smile that was familiar to Miss Shang.
