It rained a lot, and a lot of the heat was taken away. However, the transpiration rate increased, but the water level of the Huai River decreased instead of increasing.
With this strange and abnormal weather change, Commissioner Li estimated that something big was going to happen in the lower reaches of the Huai River that had been hit previously.
If there are no grains harvested, it probably means there will be no harvest.
There will definitely be trouble in Huaiyi. The hometown of Xu State has just experienced a big change, and if nothing else, it will continue to undergo further changes. And the Wu State, Jin State, and Song State, which are close to the Xu State's hometown, are about to force Yang State... It's going to be a pain in the ass.
Fortunately, this has nothing to do with Commissioner Li. Commissioner Li is busy showing off right now anyway.
"What is the background of Zeng Shan, the high-ranking official of Suiguo?"
After hearing Li Jie's question, the old uncle who ran over to help thought about it and said, "Does the general know the story of King Wu Wu?"
Normally speaking, it is impossible for you, Wu Optimus Prime, not to know about the great kings of the Wu Kingdom. But ever since Gong Shuqin found out that Li Jie was illiterate, he was 100% sure that this savage... was really a savage.
"who?"
"King Wu Wu..."
The old uncle with a depressed face suddenly showed a look that was indeed true, sighed in his heart, and then explained, "When King Wu Wu was in power, the Central Plains attacked Chu, and he was the vanguard. At that time, King Wu Wu was despised by the Chu State,
Therefore, King Wu also attacked Chu. At that time, Zhou and Wu met their forces in Suidong, which is the Ling Pass."
"Is it related to this Zeng Shan?"
"Exactly."
"Zeng Shan's ancestor, Zeng Wuzi, went to King Wu Wu's army in person and received a courtesy reception. If Zeng Shan comes as an envoy, there will definitely be a token of the Wu Kingdom. When the time comes... the general should treat him with courtesy."
To put it bluntly, my husband just wanted to remind Commissioner Li not to fail to recognize his hometown’s souvenirs when the time comes. Wouldn’t that be an international joke?
Commissioner Li was stunned: "There is also a token, what is it?"
"thing?"
"what's that!"
"A Wu Hook, also known as the 'Yunhan Sword'."
"Why is it called 'Yunhan Sword'?"
"Crossing Yunmengze and approaching the Han River, this was the first time the Wu people attacked the heart of Chu."
"Damn, that's really memorable. It seems that this Zeng Wuzi is very valued by that so-called King Wu. How much flattery does it take to give the sword to the old man?"
"..."
Commissioner Li is actually quite concerned about the rainbow fart that King Wu Wu was photographed by Zeng Wuzi. He needs to learn from this.
However, after asking some fellow Wu people, Commissioner Li discovered something strange. It turned out that the Wu people knew about this matter quite clearly, but they called it a little different.
The Central Plains countries are called Suiguo very accurately, which is Suiguo.
However, due to the accent problem of Wu people, Zeng and Sui are almost the same, one is pronounced "seng" and the other is pronounced "sei", so there is a deviation.
When the country with high "Hanji Quantity" said Sui Guo, Wu people were confused, thinking about what nonsense you are talking about, I don't even know this Sui Guo.
"No wonder...it's weird."
Commissioner Li was wondering before, why Mao resembles his uncle Shang Wuji, a weak chicken with a decent body, for example, the Tang and Zeng states.
"So Zeng Guo is Sui Guo? Isn't that right? The gap is too big."
But Commissioner Li didn't care. He didn't care about the title issue anyway. What he cared about was that Zeng Shan, the great official of the country, actually wanted to send a beautiful woman here.
This kind of person... No wonder that King Wu Wu wanted to give such a commemorative weapon as the "Yunhan Sword" to his ancestors. Zeng Shan, the great official of the country, did not insult the reputation of his ancestors at all, he had the style of his ancestors!
Anyway, Commissioner Li himself now wants to give some gift to Zeng Shan.
"What should I give you?"
Li Jie frowned, suddenly slapped his head, and immediately laughed, "I'm such a fucking idiot, it's dark under the lamp, I'll give him a stack of A4 paper! Get some linen, red silk, purple silk, isn't this it?
Let's work together. If I want something to set off cannons, I'll give it to them."
For Commissioner Li, the main use of paper is to wipe his butt.
But the cultural people these days are different. They really love culture...
"By the way, uncle. What kind of princess is this Sui Guo Xingzhe talking about, and she almost married the King of Chu who just died?"
"I've heard something, but I can't confirm it."
"Well... so to speak..." Commissioner Li was silent for a while and nodded solemnly, "This Sui Guo is very sincere."
"..."
My husband is not feeling well anymore. How can I be sincere? General, is there something wrong with your hobbies?
But Commissioner Li feels that this idea of following the country is very accurate. What is Li’s hobby? Beautiful women! And she is a top-notch beauty. She must have incredible looks and a body that explodes!
So here comes the question, would a weakling like Sui Guo dare to send an ugly monster to Chu State to be a concubine?
Obviously I don't dare.
So it is not difficult to see that Princess Suiguo, who almost became the second wife of King Chu, must have good looks and a good figure. At least one thing is certain, Princess Suiguo must be beautiful.
"Hehehehehe..."
Thinking of this, Commissioner Li was very happy, even happier than when Dr. Cai recruited Pingyu Si Kou.
Pingyu Sikou came to serve, that is, ten thousand people, and with some gold, silver, soft goods, etc., the total assets are probably not enough for Commissioner Li to rob in one go.
There are just these people, and Commissioner Li has to settle them. How much is the total investment?
If one person only wears clothes, then one or two pieces of cloth will be needed; if there are ten thousand people, then one or two thousand pieces of cloth will be needed!
Not to mention that we had just moved to Baiyi, and we had to start all over again to cultivate the land. One summer and another autumn would be a waste of time.
People eat horse chews, and the food budget for the entire Pingyu Sikou clan is about 70,000 dan.
This year is another disaster year, and Commissioner Li has to think about getting more food. If his father and mother are missing, he cannot lack a bite to feed his family.
In order to do this, Commissioner Li had to contact his uncle and ask him to organize a fleet to transport food from Jiangyin City, thousands of miles away. At the same time, he also had to ask Ying Jian to organize the movement of people to and from Biyang Country, from Biyang Country to the "secondary country".
The "rear area" also misappropriated some food supplies.
In foreign wars, after all, the health bar must be compared. Empty health is absolutely unacceptable.
Fortunately, Commissioner Li had a wide network of people and a solid foundation. He robbed a lot from the Song Dynasty and looted along the way. He also developed the Biyang Kingdom and a large amount of cultivated land in the north of the Yangtze River. Finally, it was no problem to survive, and a Pingyu Sikou was not a problem.
But comparing the two, sending gifts to the country made him happier.
The nobles of the Cai State surrendered because they had to reorganize their assets. Some of the nobles of the Cai State had negative assets. They had no possessions and just came here to eat and drink. They looked very arrogant at first glance.
style.
"Alas... there have been a lot of happy events recently. There is another Cai Guo caddy on the golf course, and she is actually Cai Hou's sister. It's a pity that I have to work overtime now, otherwise I will go back and play two rounds of golf. It is a good combination of work and rest, which is good for physical and mental health."
While feeling emotional, Commissioner Li felt a little itchy. Panyu's sequelae were obviously mostly cured.
As the saying goes, you will never change your life, but Commissioner Li has no intention of quitting such a small hobby.
If this is not even a hobby, what is he living for?
These days, there isn't even an automatic mahjong machine. It's so boring.
Seeing the general's behavior, Gong Shuqin originally wanted to leave, but if he didn't have something serious to say, he couldn't stand it any longer.
"General, an old friend of the Huang Kingdom wants to see you. How should you refuse?"
"You still haven't given up yet."
Hearing what Gongshu Qin said, Li Jie suddenly became impatient, "I worked hard to capture this Huangcheng. Although Huangcheng was not guarded by many Chu troops, I was the one who conquered it after all. Why,
Now that I have conquered the enemy, why don’t you take over my control? Are you still thinking about restoring the Huang Kingdom? Why! Uncle, are you right?!"
"That's true, but, General, it's better to be a gentleman than to guard against villains."
Gongshu Qin is an old man, and he is used to seeing the faces of these small countries. The Six Kingdoms, which are also small countries like him, also have extremely ugly faces. In order to struggle and survive, he really doesn't need any face.
There is no way, the butt determines the head, and the interests determine the motivation!
The Six Kingdoms are also in trouble. What should the nobles of the Six Kingdoms do? What should the kings of the Six Kingdoms do? They are losing blood.
It's okay if the company goes bankrupt, but don't use shareholders' assets to offset it.
Unless there is one situation, after the company goes bankrupt and the benefits are better in another company, then what are you thinking about and making a fuss about?
This is the attitude of my old uncle. He has climbed onto the high branch of Li Jie anyway. No matter what the Six Kingdoms or not, if you can preserve the incense of the Six Kingdoms and have a piece of cold pork for ancestor worship every year, that's good.
What more bikes do you want?
Anyway, according to my husband's judgment, given the current market situation of their family, I dare not say that in five years, if their assets increase twenty-fold within ten years, it will definitely be no problem.
Staying in the Six Kingdoms, unless you are imprisoned and become mentally retarded, and then stagnate and slowly waste away, there is no benefit from bird feathers.
The old uncle could see through this, because he had had enough, and there was a mentally retarded lucky man named Gongzi Ba. So when he saw the survivors of the Huang Kingdom coming to fight for the restoration of the country, he regarded it as a joke.
What a fool! A golden thigh stepped on your dog's kennel. Instead of hugging the golden thigh and changing to a more spacious kennel, you actually thought of inviting back the dog that escaped from the kennel.
It would be fine if it were still the same family dog, but the king of the Huang Kingdom is damn dead, and the one he invited back now is his son. Why are you here? It seems like there are loyal ministers in the Huang Kingdom?
"Uncle, I'll leave this matter to you. Those who can do the hard work! Money is not an issue."
After saying that, Li Jie called out, "Come here and withdraw one thousand gold coins from the treasury."
"yes!"
After taking the talisman, he immediately went to the treasury and brought a thousand gold.
Anyway, the gold was all stolen, and most of it was "Ying Yuan" from the Chu State. The quality was quite good, and one thousand gold coins might be worth three thousand gold if thrown into the Yan State or Qin State.
"Uncle, look at the flowers. They are gold, and they will all be spent sooner or later!"
Having said that, looking at the confused Gong Shuqin, Commissioner Li patted his shoulder with trust.
