"Today is a good day. The sun is not too hot. Please hurry up!"
On the back of the big black mule, Wei Yu turned his head and shouted, "Is there a flute player here who can play a little bit?"
"There is a man from Qin who can play the bamboo flute."
"Call me to play for a while, so that you can enjoy yourself on the way."
"That's exactly what it should be."
The exam is coming soon, but Wei Yu is not panicking. Everyone within the shogunate has a unified understanding, except for one or two very few top-notch monsters who appear.
Otherwise, it is impossible for some of the newly added official hats to be worn on the heads of “outsiders”.
Wei Yu felt very relieved. What he was thinking about now was what would happen in the future.
I have been working under Li Jie for a long time, let alone my ideals in life. I have to think clearly about these high-ranking officials and generous salaries.
Traveling thousands of miles to be an official, just for food and clothing.
In the past in the Jin Kingdom, he was just mixed with coarse linen and linen clothes, but now he can have white silk and occasionally a half-horse of "Big Red 01", and his life is getting better and better.
It's just that I still have some grudge that cannot be known to outsiders, and I still can't adapt to working under the same roof as the Kodong barbarians.
The savages are humble people, how can we compare with them?
Even if you don't think about it when you are working hard, if you calm down and start competing, the slightest difference will produce subtle and unpredictable thoughts.
The sound of the 筚篥 was echoed by the sound of the horizontal flute. Along the way, the procession was like a long dragon, heading towards the north.
These are the teams that went north to work, and their origins were mixed. The scholars who served as supervisors had to master several dialects to be able to play important roles.
"I don't know if Xu Fei, skateboarding, will go to Zhiyi and Longbei Mountain."
Taking charge of the mobilization of engineering personnel this time can be regarded as an important task.
Documents issued by the shogunate indicate that this is a major project. In addition to east-west ditches similar to "Rugou" and "Yinggou", there are also north-south canals.
Building a canal requires preliminary survey, but the survey difficulty for a north-south canal is slightly lower, because during the period when Xu State was king of the Yangtze River and Huaihe River, there was a local canal named "Chasm".
It just fell into disrepair for a long time, and after it became clogged again, it disappeared without a trace.
Later, Emperor Zhou organized another renovation, which was still named "Chasm". However, with the expansion of Chu State, "Chasm" was divided into three sections: north, south, and middle.
The southern section of the "Chasm" within the borders of Chu and Chen states can guarantee water storage for less than six months a year.
Over time, it naturally became dilapidated and abandoned, and some sections of the river became inland rivers within their respective territories, serving as reservoirs for irrigation.
The section that Wei Yu led his troops to go north this time was the "chasm" in Chu State. It was not long, but it was very useful for replenishing the Pu River.
As long as a fleet is organized, supplies can be easily mobilized from the Huai River to the Jisi country.
Fighting for hegemony in the Central Plains is something that must be considered.
When the state of Wu built the "Hangou", no matter how crude it was, it had to ensure traffic. It was also because it had the ambition to strive for hegemony, which is why it had such a strategic plan.
At this time, he was tasked with organizing a team to travel long distances. For Wei Yu, this was an experience he had never had before.
However, this kind of experience is very important and valuable. To put it selfishly, with this kind of experience, maybe even if he is not a staff officer during the shogunate's attack on Chu, he will definitely have a place in the logistics force.
"Brother."
"Aji, after arriving in Huaizhong, can you still adapt to it?"
While Wei Yu was still thinking about his colleagues and friends, someone rode up from behind.
The horse is not a good horse. It is a very ordinary Jianghuai pony. It is a horse that can be used for both draft and riding. It is no longer good for fighting, but it is more than enough for commuting.
And unlike horses elsewhere, today's riding horses in the shogunate no longer wrap their hooves with wood and leather, but directly nail the horseshoes.
The horse's loss rate is greatly reduced.
"The scenery between the north and the south is very different. At last, I didn't feel any discomfort. Some of the servants who came with us fell ill. They thought they would die, but they didn't expect to survive..."
When the young man said this, his eyes looked a little melancholy. If in the Jin Kingdom, the servants were not accustomed to the climate, they would most likely die.
Even if the master has ways to improve the conditions, he will not let the servants improve them. This is contrary to common sense.
Generally speaking, for the cost of reviving one servant, you can directly buy three or five more.
But here in Huaizhong City, we try to save lives as much as possible. Although the reason is the fear of spreading epidemics and other health management regulations, in terms of human nature, young people prefer this place.
The reason is that his mother was a slave, and although he was also a descendant of the Wei family, he was born to a bitch, not even a concubine.
When Wei Yu was abandoned as a child, it was Wei Yu's mother who saw how pitiful he was and adopted him as her own son, thus saving his life.
It was also because of this that when Wei Yu's family was persuaded by Zhongxing Yun and decided to go south, although the young man felt that it was a pity and unwise, he would not say it out loud. Instead, after the family made the decision, he tried his best to improve the decision.
Looking at it now, the young man was very surprised and realized that he was too young and too naive.
The path ahead that the wise elders can see is far more profound than he does.
"study hard, improve every day."
Riding on the big black mule, Wei Yu raised his hand and patted his little brother walking side by side.
"yes!"
The young man smiled and agreed seriously.
When he first arrived in Huaizhong City, he knew that this place was different from the Jin Kingdom, very different.
"If I am lucky enough to be able to join the battle with my lord this time, you can take people to study at home. There is a primary school in the Shang family in Yinxiang, which is run by my wife. The children of the shogunate can be admitted without taking the exam. Next
Please don’t go to the elementary school and wait any longer.”
"yes!"
The little brother looked puzzled. He didn't understand why he had to go to the primary school run by the Shang family in Yinxiang. Although he also understood that the status of "Madam" was different, primary schools in the city were much the same. There was no difference in the teaching materials. Even the teachers were
The strength is also at the same level, there is nothing particularly bad or bad about it.
Seeing that his younger brother was very puzzled, Wei Yu smiled and asked: "But I feel strange, why do you insist on joining the primary school run by my wife?"
"Exactly." The little brother nodded, turned around and looked back and forth, and then asked strangely, "Brother, 'Madam' comes from a humble background, can she really hold on to the position of 'Madam'?"
Before I came here, I heard that she was a "huansha girl". She didn't know a word, so she was lucky enough to pick up Huaishui Bo. And the original intention of picking her up was just to find a strong man to work in, farm and hunt.
.
It's just a matter of luck. The strong man picked up by "Huan Sha Nu" is obviously capable of things that others cannot. Until now, others can only envy, envy and hate him.
"Don't you understand?" Wei Yu didn't feel there was anything wrong just because his brother mentioned Mrs. Yinxiang's origin. It was not disrespectful, but it was not a big deal.
Wei Yu looked at his younger brother, "As I said just now, this elementary school was run by the Shang family in Yinxiang, but it was run by my wife."
Only then did the younger brother realize: "Brother, are you saying that the Yinxiang Shang family supports Madam?"
"Exactly."
"This...this, Mrs. Shang has one son, but Mrs. Shang has two sons."
"so what?"
He raised his hand and patted his younger brother's back gently, "Shang Jun is not a man who strives for supremacy. Since he is the Lord's arm, he will help you greatly!"
"Ah Ji, as long as the lord is still strong, even if there is a plan for this matter, even if the Shang family's children are planning it, it will happen ten years later. If the Shang family is ready to make a move, let me ask, why do the four people of 'Southeast, Southeast and Northwest' need evidence?
Madam, Lei Nan, no matter which one of them changes, Shang will die if there is even the slightest suspicion."
At this point, the big green mule under Wei Yu's crotch had stopped. The younger brother's face was horrified, and beads of sweat could not help but drip on his forehead. He didn't know whether it was because the weather was too hot or he was frightened.
In the eyes of young people, victory or defeat in this world is nothing more than a comparison of big and small. Now it seems that it is really hard to say who is bigger and who is smaller.
"Brother..."
"Everyone else thinks that Madam's uncle and nephew's clan is weak, but Ajimo must forget that the four people of 'Southeast and Northwestern' also have 'Sha' as their surname. Their mistress can only be Madam, and there is absolutely no way that she is
"Others, although the clan of Nv Xia's uncle and nephew is strong, and the clan of princesses from other countries is prosperous, they are not as good as Madam Wan Yi."
Wei Yu's little brother understood it completely at this time and said immediately: "Thank you for your advice, brother!"
"When you return from Zhiyi, in addition to going to the elementary school run by my wife, I will write another letter. You take the letter and go to see Zhongxingyun. After you have learned Chinese characters and arithmetic in the elementary school, you can go to Zhongxingyun.
, be a book boy.”
"ah?!"
"Those who have a salary, Bank of China Yun is not an ordinary person. This time he attacks Chu, he may still perform well."
"Why?! Didn't some people in the city say that Zhongxingyun made great contributions to recruiting talented people for the shogunate?"
"In the shogunate, only military achievements are credit!"
"yes!"
The sound of ticking and ticking was still ringing, and from time to time the flute echoed, but the two brothers on the way had different expressions.
While Wei Yu was giving his younger brother pointers on life experiences, he also became clearer in his mind that when Zhongxingyun came back this time, he would definitely have to prove his talents.
Among the young outsiders, Jin, Qin and Qi are the most promising. Although he has a good relationship with the Gao family in Qiancheng Yi, they are still competitors after all.
Whoever can "shine brightly" in this battle against Chu can become the leader of this group.
There are some things that the Bank of China Cloud and his team may not be clear about, that is, Li Jie did have an agreement with Emperor Zhou's people, and even got a blank document stamped by Emperor Zhou. As long as he lays down the Han River, he will really be blocked.
"Man".
This process is a complete copy of the time when the ancestors of the Chu Kingdom were named "Chu Zi". To put it bluntly, this time it was the Emperor Zhou who "brought order to order" for his ancestors and made the rebellious "under the law"!
Of course, this is the general principle. What is the essence? Instead, it depends on what kind of fission will occur between Wu Guo and Li Jie.
"It can take as little as three months, or as long as one year. Eventually we will see the outcome."
Wei Yu sighed, feeling more and more grateful to be able to escape Wei Cao.
When he found that there was no way out, Wei Yu acted very resolutely. Like Xu Fei, he cut off all ties with the clan as soon as possible.
The original idea was to simply avoid becoming a double agent. After all, they were not direct descendants and could not withstand the trouble.
But now it seems that there is hope that like Shang Wuji, he will call himself the ancestor of the clan and build his own ancestral court.
"What a wonderful encounter in life. Ha!"
With one click of both feet, the big black mule kicked up its hooves and began to trot. In the long queue, there was an endless sound of scraping, which lifted people's spirits.
