Great Tang Idyll - Chapter 1248

[Chapter 893]

In the evening, the detailed telegram content finally came.

After the Meteor Squadron received the order, they organized an elite tracking team to enter the location of Zhenla, and the logistics followed one after another. A total of more than 1,600 people were dispatched.

Along the way, there were five tribes who had stayed there, three of them were destroyed, and a total of 461 people were killed. These killed people not only did not give any useful information, but also wanted to use force. Block and poison.

According to the order issued by Wang Juan, whoever stops it will be killed, so the heads of 461 people were cut off, and they were pickled at the same time, hidden, and taken together when they were arrested, or they were followed by The people in the second echelon were taken back and have not returned yet.

The remaining two tribes were very talkative. They not only pointed out the way for the Meteor Clan members, but also provided some vegetables. The Meteor Clan members exchanged the meat they hunted with the two tribes.

At the same time, I also introduced the current situation of the Tang Dynasty to the two tribes. They are welcome to settle down in the border areas first, where the original tribes have been scattered.

In this way, people from the two tribes can contact each other first, and then deepen the exchange depending on the situation.

Then he went all the way to Wangcheng, and forcibly brought out the envoy and other entourage who had bullied the women of his own country before. They were not blocked by any force. It was just that Bafa Varman, the king of Chenla, sent someone to ask about it. no longer care.

Of course, he did not take the initiative to send his own soldiers to help arrest people, and at the same time, he also blocked the news and did not allow this matter to spread among the people.

It is estimated that it is afraid of affecting people’s hearts.

Right now, the people of the Meteor Team are pushing people back at the fastest speed. They found a signal number on the way to spread the news to the relay station, and all the way to Yizhou.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan looked at each other and smiled after reading the contents of the telegram.

“It seems that Bafa Walman is quite knowledgeable about the current affairs. I thought that when he went to his royal city to arrest the envoy who had just returned, he would argue, or protest, or even send troops to protect him. When I got up, I didn’t expect him to let it go.”

Zhang Xiaobao said to Wang Juan with a smile.

Wang Juan picked up the paper, rolled it into a ball, threw it into the trash, and shook his head gently.

Said: “Maybe he wants to paralyze us first, and then he will fight with the army. We have to put some pressure on him first, but their ordinary tribes are still united, and they dare to stop us and poison them. It’s a pity , it is destined to not have a good result.”

“Yes, it can really kill. If more than 400 people died,

maybe all the young men of the three tribes were solved. Why do you have to go to my Tang Dynasty to bully the two? A weak woman, look, how many lives do you need to fill?”

Zhang Xiaobao also shook his head, there were indeed many people who died, but he did not regret it, nor did he feel any sense of guilt, killing is not an end, but a means.

After killing this time, after the news spread, Datang and other places adjacent to the place will be stable.

King Chenla didn’t want the news to be released, but he was able to help the other party spread the news to various places, and he also had to pass it on and write it in the newspaper for the people of Datang to see.

Feel the power of your own country.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan discussed it again. In order to continue to put pressure on Zhenla and keep them as honest and stable as before, the two decided to set off for the team three days later.

Go slowly and go downstream.

Go to Dianchi Lake to see the scenery, then change to the west, cross the Lancang River, continue to the west, and enter the territory of India, or the Pyu Kingdom, which is Myanmar.

We have to walk slowly, and arrange a time for the intelligence officers from other countries to go back to Yizhou. If they are too stupid to go back as fast as their own side, they have to find a way to use it. Other means of getting the news to their intelligence operatives elsewhere.

Going down from Yizhou, it will give people the feeling of going directly to Chenla. After the king of Zhenla knows, he will see if he will send an additional letter of guilt.

The purpose of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan in the past was not to fight, but to learn about the special products of various places along the way, such as jade and jade, which must be well developed, as well as gold mines.

The other is to do more detailed drawings to see where the road can be built, and that side will occupy it in the future. It is not possible to continue to risk life from the mountains to drill into the forest as it is now.

Take a turn, come back in winter, continue to pick a place, and then go there to build the place.

*****

Three days passed quickly.

The nine Xiaobei have already packed their bags, said goodbye to the children in the school, and left a ‘homework’ for the little boy who likes to play Monopoly. In fact, it is to let him understand the various data in the game, and pass by. Remember the environment of the place, and then write a letter, let someone send it to Xiaobei and others, and then reply.

The little boy was very reluctant to give up. Playing games added a lot of knowledge. Compared with children of the same age, he obviously learned more knowledge, which made him yearn for the learning and life of the school.

That’s how people are. When they can’t compete with others, they don’t have the energy to learn. Once they are strong in one aspect, they will be stronger in that aspect because they want to keep this advantage.

The team of Zhang Wang’s family took the boat and vigorously promoted it, saying that they were going to the Annan Duhufu, and then they would go to another place.

He also organized a farewell party and left in the sight of the people.

As soon as they left, officials in Yizhou obviously felt more pressure. Many of the things arranged by the Zhang and Wang families had to be taken over by them. If they did not do well, it is estimated that the results would not be very good.

******

The fleet was driving slowly on the river. In order to slow down the speed in the case of downstream, the boat also set up sails against the wind, which could offset part of the power of the current.

All other ships wish they could have more wings so that they can be faster.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were afraid that the intelligence officers of Zhenla would not be able to send the news back in time, so they specially sent a report to the Annan Duhufu, so that they could carry out a lot of local publicity, saying that the Zhang Wang family would come soon, and they also brought a large number of people with them. The troops had to organize staff in advance to level the resting place of Zhang Wang’s family.

And it is still the real construction, and the local people also need to organize.

Help build a house or something.

The money came from Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan.

In fact, they won’t go there at all. The repaired buildings and the leveled site can be used to do other things for the local area, which is to help the construction of the local area.

“It’s really busy.” Zhang Xiaobao stood on the bow and sighed.

“It’s okay for us to be busy. In fact, compared with ordinary people, we are already very light-hearted. We don’t need to get up early every day and go home late, and what we do is more meaningful than them. I don’t plan to do it. That kind of. Home – the place to work – home, such a two o’clock line.”

Wang Juan stood beside Zhang Xiaobao and said to Zhang Xiaobao.

Zhang Xiaobao pointed to other boats on the river: “I’m not talking about us, but them. Our fleet occupies one of the other’s shipping routes. This is all the boats lined up in a line. Let’s

go.”

Wang Juan followed where Zhang Xiaobao pointed, and sure enough.

It was really busy there, with a big cargo ship.

It went upstream to the front, and is now driving slowly, shopping and eating at the same time.

Normally, the ship prepares its own food, but depending on the situation, in order to carry more cargo, the ship eats as it goes along the way, and buys it wherever it goes.

People who have boats near the two sides of the strait will have an extra business. They will prepare food and put them in large buckets on small boats.

Then the boat is swayed into the river, and a small sail is hung on it, and the words “Sell Bento” are written on the sail.

Many cargo ships that come and go will let them go over, and then use ropes to hoist the food up, pour out the food, and then hoist the bucket back, which is very convenient.

And it also saves manpower. There is no need to arrange additional cooking in the kitchen, let alone prepare food. If you drink water, you can directly play in the lecture.

The only downside is that it costs a lot.

Bought meals are a bit more expensive than cooking them yourself, but not a lot, otherwise it’s not worth it.

Wang Juan really didn’t see this situation. Now that he saw it, he took out a telescope and watched it carefully.

That big cargo ship happened to be going against the current, and the speed was not fast. The small boat turned flexibly, and it was easy to get past it, but it was also very dangerous to look at. If you accidentally hit the small boat into the big boat, it was impossible for people to die, and the boat was bound to be destroyed. .

“It’s interesting, isn’t it?” Zhang Xiaobao saw Wang Juan’s smile when he looked over there, and said to her: “Actually, this is the pursuit of life, and fairness is impossible. Looking at the people on the boat, there is one hand who controls the boat. Good craftsmanship, and at the same time can think of this method, and is willing to work hard for it.”

“The food you make should also taste good, otherwise there will be competition.” Wang Juan followed.

She knew what Zhang Xiaobao meant. These people who rowed boats and sold food must make more money than others. With money, they could hire others to continue to expand their business, build more boats, and cook more food to sell.

Income will increase even more, and the people they employ will certainly not be able to match their income, the word exploitation can appear, and the income fairness of society will be broken.

But when they make more money, they have to pay more taxes, otherwise the society will be unrest, which is another kind of unfairness to them, people are smart, they work hard for it, and the money they make is clean. , but someone will always be jealous.

“It’s not easy, it’s not easy, whether it’s smart or stupid, plus those of us who help them maintain, living, everything is for a better life.” Zhang Xiaobao sighed again, like a philosopher of.

“Let’s buy one and try it too.” Xiaobei’s voice sounded not far away.

They are also reluctant to stay in the cabin, run to the deck, bask in the sun, look at the scenery, and wait for others to fall into the water, so they can save them. of.

But Xiao Bei and the others thought so. Unfortunately, this dream is not so easy to realize. There are many boats coming and going, and the people who run the boat are proficient in water. People were rescued.

Following Xiaobei’s order, someone immediately shouted at him, asking the rice seller to come over.

Others go to prepare large pots to hold meals.

Dao Miao Banner, which is the only one in Datang, knew all the people in Datang. When they saw this shouting, the food seller urged the people on the cargo ship twice to let the other party send the money.

When the money is in hand, the food seller turns the rudder, observes the distance between the two sides, and paddles diagonally against the current.

The boat on Zhang Xiaobao’s side was also moving forward, and the speed was not fast, so he waited for a while.

The rice-selling boat just swung its rudder down the river and ran alongside the big boat.

The small boat was pushed by the water of the big boat and looked very dangerous. It seemed to be capable of overturning at any time. There were four people on the boat, and two of them specially controlled the oars.

Xiao Bei looked down and said, “It’s not easy, let me row, I promise to turn the boat

into the water. Then swim to the shore. But you have to pay to get something. It looks like a family, not bad.”

At the same time, there are people on the deck on the first floor who stretched out two long poles. The people rowing do not need to control the oars. They directly grab the poles and fix their boats in the same direction as the big boat. .

When Xiao Bei saw it, he ran into the cabin.

When I came out, I took a loudspeaker and shouted at the bottom: “Learn better. You will be equipped with two bamboo poles

in your boat, so why bother to control the oars.”

, I didn’t think of it before.”

“Look, am I great.” Xiao Bei felt that he had done a very big thing, and asked Xiao Yuan, who was also looking at the boat.

Xiaoyuan replied wisely: “It’s great, it’s really great. After you have tasted the food in a while, you can also make suggestions for improvement. It will be even more great.”

“Okay.” Xiaobei agreed.

Immediately, he showed an embarrassed look: “If it’s too unpalatable, can I give you the leftovers?”

“Serve it in a small plate, and we both have one. I’ll give it up, and it’s just a big mouthful. I don’t believe it can be eaten. Kill me.” Xiaoyuan showed great courage.

Xiaobei laughed happily, she was talking and playing.

I didn’t expect Xiaoyuan to cooperate so well.

The buckets for the meals were quickly brought up, two buckets of vegetables, one bucket of rice, in a ratio of two to one.

And there is a box made of bamboo on a bucket for the vegetables, which is filled with pickles.

Someone below shouted: “The pickles are not for sale, we eat them ourselves, so I’ll give you a taste.”

“Thank you.” Xiaobei shouted back with the loudspeaker. ”

Because the pickles aren’t delicious, right?” Xiaoyuan replied uncertainly, then shook his head: “No, if it doesn’t taste good, he will give it to us? Don’t give them money for the pickles, give them two packs of dim sum, fermented bean curd and stinky tofu.” They have a small altar, and it’s a courtesy.”

Xiaoyuan’s words were instructed to the inner courtyard of his home, and they were all used to it. When others give things, they don’t give money, and when the time comes, they return other things.

In fact, every time it is lost, the value of the rebate is often several times, or even dozens of times, the value of the things sent by others.

But once they met, they were still very happy and were willing to send back something more valuable.

The food was poured out, the dim sum, fermented bean curd, and stinky tofu were put into the rice bucket, and they were hoisted back.

Xiaobei tried pickles, very common cucumber and radish pickles, but it tasted really good.

Ba Da Da Zui Er, Xiao Bei was even more puzzled: “It’s delicious, and there’s some sesame oil in it, especially this cucumber, which is actually soaked in soy sauce and has a sauce scent, if it’s sold, there must be a lot of people. I like to eat, is it because the output can’t keep up? Brother.”

Xiaobei couldn’t figure it out, so when he asked his brother, he asked Zhang Xiaobao, not Xiaohai.

Zhang Xiaobao looked at the pickles, looked at the vegetables again, and said to his sister, “Because people who go on cargo ships are also smart.”

“What do you mean?” Xiaobei asked.

“If you sell pickles, then the price of pickles must be cheaper than vegetables, and pickles are also saltier than vegetables. At that time, people on the cargo ship may only buy a bucket of vegetables, and then buy some pickles. Wouldn’t the food sellers make less money? ”

Zhang Xiaobao explained to Xiaobei.

Xiao Bei and the nine little guys opened their mouths one by one, looking at the pickled vegetables in surprise, and then looking at the dishes that were poured out, looking very speechless.

“They…they just do this little trick?” Xiaobei said with a sigh, she felt that this person was too difficult to locate, and a food seller was still playing tricks.

Zhang Xiaobao smiled and said: “It’s not a small calculation, it’s the wisdom in life. It is these small wisdoms that support our country. Various industries and various things can learn knowledge from them. Then promote the development of society, When the society develops, there will be more little wisdom.

Little by little, the country will become stronger. Otherwise, if you look at people in other places, all of them are very stupid, and there is no little wisdom in woodworking. Carpenters can’t do well; bricklayers can’t build houses without their little wisdom; how can cooks come up with new and better dishes without their little wisdom?

Don’t underestimate these, they are an important part of the society. If someone can learn all the little wisdom, then what he has is great wisdom.”

“I see, thank you brother.” Xiaobei listened carefully, and said happily after understanding.

Xiaoyuan also followed suit: “So that’s the case, everything comes from life, and then the change of life promotes the improvement of wisdom, so… Can it be possible to sell vegetables and pickles?”

Zhang Xiaobao thought about it and said: “It just happens that you have nothing to do. You don’t have to run around to communicate with people. You can help them think about how to sell pickles and vegetables at the same time.

” , and after thinking about it clearly, if it is really feasible, send someone to tell them to sell rice. Eat it, you buy it, you can eat it first, even if it doesn’t taste good.”

Wang Juan followed suit, and then smiled at the bitter look on his younger brother and sister’s face.

“Eat all you can eat, and you can’t kill anyone. I don’t believe he dares to poison me. I’ll come first and see, this is an eggplant, it’s not a burnt eggplant, or it’s fried directly, and the skin is fried. This is a slice of cabbage. , there are small bits of insect bites on the inside of the cabbage, Xiaoyuan, look, the cabbage is not vinegary.”

Xiaobei went over to look at the vegetables, there were two dishes in total, one was eggplant and the other was cabbage. The appearance was not very good, so she decided to give Xiaoyuan a chance to eat first.

Xiaoyuan really went to eat, took a spoon, scooped out a little and put it on a plate, picked it up with chopsticks and ate it in his mouth, tapped twice: “It’s okay, I can eat it, but it’s a little light, and there’s less oil in it. There is still some meat.”

“Then you all eat.” Wang Juan said to her younger brother and sister, and then whispered to Zhang Xiaobao: “How can you sell pickles and vegetables together?”
