485 The one who travels a hundred miles is half ninety
Commissioner Li directly purchased 20,000 acres of the Gaowei Enclave, all south of Yingshui River.
If this area had been before Commissioner Li traveled through it, it would have been a treasure land. It was an extremely high-quality farmland. It was probably between Luohe and Linying. The area near the water was not large, but the main reason was that the hinterland was vast. Li Jie gave a very good reason.
Enough, I just use it for farming.
Zheng Guo didn't think it was anything. Compared with Xu Guo, this place was completely incomparable. If it could be compared, it wouldn't become a temporary base camp for "guest soldiers", and it wouldn't be the place where Chu State would go out every time when it went to the north.
Fang Cheng will rush right here.
In the final analysis, it is just a front line. Of course, it is not a front line now, but it is not far away from Chu State's Bu Geng City.
In addition to the Gaowei Enclave, Commissioner Li also rented a piece of land in the south of Langyuan, that is, Chengying, next to several Feng Shui treasures in Zheng Guo.
The lease period was ninety-nine years. Zheng Chengzi thought that he had never seen such an outrageous land lease these days. Of course he didn't know that this was the evil intention of the beasts in the Wu Kingdom. On the basis of the ninety-nine-year lease period, the two parties also finalized the agreement.
made a treaty.
Then it should be considered that the caravan of the State of Wu was operating in the concession and was governed by the laws of the State of Wu. The State of Zheng only had the right to supervise and report.
To put it bluntly, if fellow Wu people commit crimes in this area, Zheng Guo has no say whether they should be arrested, how and when. Of course, Zheng Guo can protest and urge, and Wu Guo can also seize the time to supervise the case. As for arresting them
Afterwards, Zheng Guo still had no say whether or when to impose the verdict.
In short, this is an invisible benefit. At least for many Wu people whose moral bottom line has been penetrated, this favor is what they owe Jiang Yinzi.
Normally, as long as the ruler of a country has some backbone, he will not agree to such a ridiculous request.
But Zheng Chengzi's staff agreed. Not only the Chengying officials, but also Daling Lieutenant, Xu Tianwei and other local officials from Yingshuidong were involved.
There is no way, Jin Yuan is so happy to clear the way.
Commissioner Li gave Dr. Cheng Ying three hundred gold, Captain Daling 500 powerful bows, and Captain Xu Tian thirty pieces of rhinoceros skin. As for Zheng Chengzi's staff, everyone had a share of "Big Red 01".
What does it matter if such a generous gift is just a little bit of "extraterritoriality"? Compared with Gao Weasel selling land, this is nothing.
Commissioner Li once wondered if Zheng Chengzi didn't know about this, but then he thought about it and concluded that it was probably because Zheng Chengzi didn't want to step on shit, so he pretended not to know.
It would be best if no one reminds me afterwards; if someone reminds me, I can borrow someone else's head when the time comes.
He was deceived anyway.
As for whether anyone will protest during this period, if it is a noble, just appease it; if it is a wealthy businessman, kill it; if it is a countryman, kill it; if it is a savage, kill it.
In short, the processing was convenient, fast and efficient, and it did not damage Zheng Chengzi's reputation.
Perfect!
As for Zheng Chengzi's assistant officials and staff, they are thinking about this ninety-nine-year lease. Will you, Mr. Li, live for ninety-nine years or what?
Maybe it means that we were in Hedong in the 30th year of Zheng Guo and Hexi in the 30th year of Hexi?
It’s still unclear whether you, the country of Wu, will still be there by then.
This idea is normal. After all, the most powerful king in the Wu Kingdom has already burped, so what is there to fear? In other words, the intimidation of the savage leader is not bad, so he has to bow his head, but the future is long.
"I really didn't expect that I could get so many benefits from the people of Zheng. Isn't it such a waste? The king of Zheng is not at home, so he can become so virtuous?"
With the contract sealed in silk in hand, Commissioner Li is not afraid of anyone defaulting on his debt.
Anyone who dares to default on someone Li's project payment will have to chase him thousands of miles away to get it!
Anyone who clearly owes me Li Jie the final payment will pay it back no matter how far away!
If you owe it secretly... then forget it, who doesn't have a problem yet?
"Ajie, are you leaving Zheng State now?"
Meiqiang frowned slightly and reminded her husband, "Ajie, Jia Guishang is still in Weiguo."
There are many crocodile men, brave men and righteous men who have dispersed.
However, he has good means of keeping warm, and he brings his own dry food, cash, and thugs. As long as he doesn't go to the mountain dens specifically, he won't have to worry about encountering a tribe of barbarians.
Li Jie is not worried about the safety of Jia Gui and others at all. Even if they are dead...he will train another one.
"It doesn't matter, Aguiji people have their own destiny."
"..."
This nonsense was meant to fool people, and the girl was immediately speechless, thinking that the original sentence "good people have their own heavenly appearance" was clearly referring to the "strong grass" of the Song Dynasty.
Compared with Jia Gui's life and death, Commissioner Li was more concerned about where that Princess Weiguo died. What the hell, she was obviously going to pass by Sishui, but in the blink of an eye, she was missing?
Commissioner Li had reason to suspect that there was a mole next to him. This Princess of Wei must know that Li was extremely lustful and already coveted her, otherwise she would not have been able to run so fast.
“Even if I have regrets about coming to Xinzheng, I have gained a lot.”
"I haven't congratulated you yet, Ajie, for being able to acquire hundreds of talented people from princes, cities, and thousands of acres of fertile land."
"What a happy event this is. Do I lack talented people? I don't lack fertile land. What I gain the most from this visit to Xinzheng is the princess of Qin and the beloved daughter of the Wei family. They are both stunningly beautiful."
At this point, Commissioner Li even licked his lips, "Especially Ying Ying, her flute skills... are amazing!"
"..."
Seeing her husband's expression getting more and more abnormal, Mei Qiang immediately rolled her eyes and said angrily: "Ajie once said that half of those who travel a hundred miles are ninety. This means that the end is difficult. Today there are Qin, Jin,
Wei Juese each has one, and Ajie has two. How can one who travels a hundred miles be half ninety?!"
"..."
Seeing his wife criticizing him like this, Commissioner Li suddenly looked ashamed and nodded shamefully. He looked at Meiqiang and said, "Qiang is right! How could I not pursue the stunning beauty I'm eyeing in this world just because it's too difficult?
Woolen cloth?"
After saying this, Li Jie stepped out of the carriage, stood at the front of the carriage and shouted: "I heard that many people are greeting Princess Wei, but I wonder where she is?!"
The students who were following him were confused. When they saw the principal stepping out of the carriage with a solemn expression, they thought some serious military or political incident had occurred.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he actually asked if anyone knew where Princess Wei was.
This feeling... is probably like being chopped on the chest with an axe. It hurts and feels stuffy.
"Master! Many people have dispersed from the State of Zheng. Except for Xu State and Xu Tian, many people make a living by burning charcoal in the Cui Forest."
"oh?!"
Li Jie's eyes lit up. He was just saying it casually, but he never expected that his students were quite capable.
Not bad.
The team was originally going to board the ship, but at this moment, Commissioner Li said: "I once said that when you enter our door, you should know that 'body practice, knowledge and action are one.' Today, Li will lead the troops to march in a hurry!"
"..."
"..."
Commissioner Li opened the map and glanced at it, "To the east of Xinzheng is Zhitian, and beyond Zhitian is Feilin!"
The "students" who were originally looking depressed suddenly became energetic when they saw the principal suddenly took out a map.
They all thought to themselves: Could it be that Li Zi really wants to train us?
When marching and fighting, if an officer can't even understand a map, isn't he just a loser?
What's more, it is clear that the map in "King Wei's Suicide Note" is a little different. It is densely packed and obviously more refined and precise than his own map.
Students who get closer can even see the lines on the map. This map format is fundamentally different from the traditional one, completely different!
Not only is the drawing system different, but also the material of the map seems to be made of paper?
This time when we entered the Zheng Kingdom, "paper" appeared on the desks of the princes for the first time. However, it was very expensive and they were reluctant to use it. They used it as hard currency as rewards.
The top reward Zheng Chengzi gave to his close staff was Jiangyin "paper", followed by "Zixiao" and "Chixia".
Paper is very expensive. For many students, it is enough to just look at it, let alone touch it, and they have no chance to use it.
But now, it seems like that’s all it is?
A few of them were determined to make a living in Huaizhong City, and they even boldly asked the crocodile man next to them.
"Assistant teacher, what is the geometry of the paper used in Huaizhong City?"
"Government office or army?"
"Department...troops."
The freshmen still don't like the way the Crocodiles communicate. Some of the words only come to mind after they become familiar with them.
"Paper for the army..." Crocodile Man, a part-time teaching assistant, thought for a moment, then turned to the curious baby and said, "Enough."
"Care...enough?!"
"Enough."
"..."
For a moment, the freshman was a little confused about the situation. How could such an expensive thing be enough?
However, the Crocodile Man still has some things he wants to say, such as the team headquarters in Huaizhong City and a kind of toilet paper specially used for wiping buttocks.
But the crocodile assistant coach probably did not say anything out loud to take care of the freshmen's emotions.
"Everyone has—"
Suddenly, an order came.
"Target Pailin, heading east, run...walk!"
They don't wear armor, so running lightly is nothing. Most of the crocodile men have leather armor lined with them, and they haven't given up the weapons in their hands.
In terms of weight, the crocodiles carried much more weight than the freshmen. However, even so, after only running three or four miles, many freshmen were already out of breath, and the blood vessels between their necks seemed to burst.
Some freshmen once again began to doubt life. They obviously had no problem running around the school field, but when they went to the wild, they ran for such a short distance, and they actually looked like dead dogs?
Could it be that this is what we practice, and this is the unity of knowledge and action?!
