In the evening, the detailed content of the telegram finally came.
After receiving the order, the Meteor team organized an elite tracking team and entered Zhenla's location. The logistics followed up one after another, and a total of more than 1,600 people were dispatched.
Along the way, there were five tribes that had stayed. Three of them were destroyed, killing a total of 461 people. The people who were killed 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 blocked them was killed, so the heads of 461 people were cut off, and they were pickled at the same time, hidden, and taken together when the arrested people came back, or they were allowed to follow up. People from the second tier of the team took it back, and they have not yet returned.
The remaining two tribes are very talkative. They not only show the way to the Meteor Clan members, but also provide some vegetables. The Meteor Clan members exchange their hunted meat with the two tribes.
At the same time, he also briefed the two tribes about the current situation in Datang, and welcomed them to settle down on the border first, where the original tribe has been scattered.
In this way, people from the two tribes can get in touch first, and then they can deepen exchanges depending on the situation.
Then I went straight to the royal city all the way, and brought out the ambassador and other entourage who had previously bullied the women of my own country. They were not blocked by any force. It was just that King Bafawarman of Zhenla sent someone to inquire. 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 let people block the news and not allow this matter to circulate among the people, probably because he was afraid of affecting people's hearts.
Right now, the people from Meteor Clan were escorting people back at the fastest speed, and they found a signal number on the way to transmit the news to the relay station, all the way to Yizhou.
After reading the content of the telegram, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan smiled at each other.
"It seems that Buffalman is quite knowledgeable about current affairs. I thought he had to argue with him when he arrived in his royal city and arrested those who had just returned, or he was protesting or even sending soldiers to protect them. When I got up, he didn't expect him to let it go."
Zhang Xiaobao smiled and said to Wang Juan.
Wang Juan picked up the paper, crumpled it into a ball and threw it into the wastebasket. He gently shook his head and said, "Maybe he wants to paralyze us first, and then the whole army will fight. We have to put some pressure on him first. On the contrary, their ordinary tribes are still united. They dare to stop our people and poison them. Unfortunately, it is destined to have no good results."
"Yes, I can really kill, and killed more than 400 people. Perhaps all the young people of the three tribes have been solved. Why bother? I have to go to my Datang to bully two weak women. Look, you need to use it. How many lives to fill?"
Zhang Xiaobao also shook his head. There were indeed a lot of people who died, but he did not regret it, nor did he feel any sense of guilt. Killing was not the purpose, but the means. This time, the news spreads, and Datang will communicate with other places. The neighborhood is safe.
King Zhenla 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 spread the news in newspapers, so that the people of Datang could read it and feel the power of his country.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan discussed again. In order to continue to put pressure on Zhenla and make them as honest and stable as before, the two decided to start the team three days later, move slowly, and walk downstream.
Go to Dianchi Lake to see the scenery, then change to the west, cross the Lancang River, and continue to the west to enter the territory of India, or the country of Piao, which is Myanmar.
Go slowly, and give intelligence personnel from other countries to Yizhou a time to go back quickly. If they are too stupid, and the speed of going back is not as fast as their own, then they have to find a way to use it. Other methods allow their intelligence personnel elsewhere to get news.
Going down from Yizhou will give people a feeling of going directly to Zhenla. After the king of Zhenla knows about it, he will see if he will send an additional petition.
The purpose of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan in the past was not to fight a war, but to learn about the special products of various places along the way, such as jade and emerald. These things must be well developed, and there are gold mines and so on.
The other is to carry out more detailed drawings to see where the road can be built, which will be occupied in the future, and it is not possible to drill into the forest at the risk of life from the mountains as it is now.
Take a turn, you can come back in winter, continue to choose a place, and then go there to build a place.
…
Three days passed quickly.
Beibei’s nine people have packed their luggage, bid farewell to the children in the school, and left it for the little boy who likes to play Monopoly. The "homework" is actually to let him understand the various data in the game, and Remember the environment of the place you are passing by, and then write a letter, send it to Xiaobei and others, and then reply.
The little boy was very unwilling to give up, playing games and playing added a lot of knowledge. Compared with children of the same age, he obviously learned more knowledge, which made him full of yearning for the school life. This is how a person is. When he can't compare to others, he doesn't have the motivation to learn. Once he is strong in one aspect, he will be stronger in this aspect because he wants to keep this advantage.
The team of King Zhang's family took the boat and advertised vigorously, saying that they were going to Annan Duhufu, and then transferred to another place. A farewell party was also organized and left in the people's farewell.
As soon as they left, the officials in Yizhou obviously felt more pressure. Many of the things arranged by the Zhang and Wang family have to be taken over by them. They did not do well, and it is estimated that the results will not be very good.
…
The fleet was moving slowly on the surface of the river. In order to slow down when the current is flowing, the boats also set up sails against the wind, which can offset part of the force of the current.
Other boats hate to have more wings, so that it can be faster.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were afraid that Zhenla’s intelligence personnel would not be able to send the news back in time. They specifically sent a report to the Annan Prefecture, asking them to carry out a lot of propaganda locally. The army had to organize manpower in advance to level the resting place of Zhang Wang's family.
Moreover, it is still a real start, and the local people will also have to organize to help build houses and so on. The money came from Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan.
In fact, they won't go there at all. The repaired building and the well-maintained site can be used to do other things for the local area, as it is to help build the place.
"Really busy." Zhang Xiaobao stood at the bow of the ship and said with emotion.
"It's nothing for us to be busy. In fact, compared to ordinary people, we are already very leisurely. We don't need to get up early every day and return home late, and what we do is more meaningful than them. I don't plan to do it. That kind, home—place of work—home, such a two-point and one-line day."
Wang Juan stood beside Zhang Xiaobao and said to Zhang Xiaobao.
Zhang Xiaobao pointed at the ships passing by on the other rivers: "I am not talking about us, it is them. Our fleet occupies one of the other people's sea lanes. This is still all the ships lining up in a line. gone."
Wang Juan looked at the place pointed by Zhang Xiaobao. Sure enough, it was really busy. There was a large cargo ship that went upstream to the front. It was driving slowly while shopping for food.
Normally, the ship prepares to eat on its own, but depending on the situation, in order to be able to carry more cargo, that ship will eat as you go along the way, and buy some wherever you go.
People who have boats on both sides of the strait have an extra business. They will prepare their food, put them on the boat in big buckets, and then roll the boat into the river with small sails on it, and the sale of bento is written on the sails. The word.
Many cargo ships will let them pass by, and then use ropes to hoist the food, pour out the food, and then hoist the bucket back. It is very convenient and saves manpower. There is no need to arrange additional kitchen cooking, let alone preparing food. , Drink water directly in the middle of the talk.
The only downside is that it costs a lot. The food you buy is more expensive than cooking by yourself, but it's not a lot, otherwise it won't be cost-effective.
Wang Juan really didn't see this situation, but now he sees it, take a binoculars out, and take a closer look.
That big cargo ship happened to be countercurrent, and the speed was not fast. The boat turned flexibly, and it was easy to get past, but it was also very dangerous to look at. If you accidentally hit the boat on the big ship, it’s impossible for people to die, and the ship will inevitably be destroyed. .
"It's interesting, isn't it?" Zhang Xiaobao smiled when Wang Juan looked over there, and said to her: "In fact, this is the pursuit of life, and fairness is impossible. Looking at the people on the boat, they have a hand to control the boat. Good craftsmanship, at the same time I can think of this method, and I am willing to work hard for it."
"The cooked food should also taste good, otherwise there will be competition." Wang Juan said afterwards.
She knew what Zhang Xiaobao meant. This group of boat sellers must make more money than others. With money, they can hire others to continue to expand their business, build more boats, and cook more food to sell.
Income will increase even more. Of course, the people hired by them are not as good as their income. The term exploitation can appear, and social income equity will be broken.
But when they make more money, they must also collect more taxes, otherwise the society will be turbulent, which is another kind of unfairness to them. People are smart, they work hard for them, and the money they make is clean. , But some people 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, live, everything is to live better." Zhang Xiaobao sighed again, like a philosopher. of.
"Let's buy one and try it too." Beckham's voice sounded not far away.
They are also unwilling 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. This is also a not very "authentic" mind. How can they expect others to fall into the water? of.
But this is what Xiaobei and the others think. Unfortunately, this dream is not so easy to realize. There are many boats and the people who run the boat are proficient in water. People are saved.
Following Xiaobei's order, someone shouted there immediately, asking the seller to approach him. Others go to prepare large pots to hold meals.
All the people of Da Tang, who is the only one in the Tang Dynasty, knew each other. When they saw it, the seller urged the people on the cargo ship to send the money over.
When the money is available, the seller turns his rudder, observes the distance between the two sides, and swipes diagonally against the current.
The boat on Zhang Xiaobao's side was also advancing at a slow speed. After a short while, the boat that sold food just swung its rudder down the river and moved in parallel with the big boat.
The boat was propelled by the water of the big boat and looked dangerous. It seemed to be able to capsize at any time. There were four people on the boat, two of whom were specially controlling the oars, so that the boat struggled with the water brought out by the big boat time and time again to maintain the balance of the boat.
Xiaobei looked down and said: "It's not easy. Let me go rowing. I promise to turn the boat into the water and swim to the shore. But there are gains when you pay. It looks like a family, not bad."
The people on the boat threw the ropes down, and at the same time there were two long poles on the deck of the first floor. The rowers didn’t need to control the oars. They grabbed the poles and fixed their boats, just like the big boat. Towards.
When Beckham saw him, he ran into the cabin, and when he came out, he took a big horn and shouted at the bottom: "Learn a little bit. After you get two bamboo poles on your boat, why bother to control the oars."
The person holding the pole on the boat raised his head and shouted to Beckham: "Thank you, I didn't expect it before."
"Look, am I great?" Beckham felt that he had done a very big thing, and asked Xiaoyuan, who also looked at the boat.
Xiao Yuan wisely replied: "Great, it is really great. After you have tasted the food in a while, you can also mention suggestions for improvement. It is even greater."
"Okay." Xiaobei agreed, and then showed a look of embarrassment: "If it is too unpalatable, can I give you the leftovers?"
"Use a small dish to serve, let's eat one portion, I have to sacrifice it, just a big bite, don't believe it can eat me to death." Xiao Yuan showed great courage.
Beckham laughed happily. She was talking and playing, but she didn't expect Xiao Yuan to cooperate so well.
The bucket for the food was quickly brought up. Two buckets of food, one bucket of rice, a ratio of two to one, and there was a bamboo box on the bucket that contained pickles.
Someone shouted below: "The pickles are not for sale, we eat them ourselves, and we will give you a taste."
"Thank you." Beckham shouted back with the loudspeaker. After shouting, he was puzzled and asked Xiaoyuan: "Why don't they sell pickles?"
"Because the pickles are not tasty, right?" Xiao Yuan replied uncertainly, and then shook his head: "No, if it is not tasty, he will give us? Don't give them the pickles, and give them two packs of dim sum, fermented bean curd and stinky tofu. A small jar, courtesy."
What Xiao Yuan said was to the inner courtyard of the house, and they were all used to it. When others gave things, they would not give money, and they would return other things when that time comes. In fact, I lose every time, and 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 willing to send back more valuable things.
The food was poured out, the dim sum, fermented bean curd, and stinky tofu were put into the rice bucket, and they were hung back.
Beckham tasted pickles, ordinary cucumber and radish pickles, but they tasted really good.
"It's delicious, and there is some sesame oil in it, especially this cucumber, which is actually soaked in the soybean paste. It has a flavor of sauce. If it is sold, there must be many people." Love to eat, is it because the output can't keep up? Brother."
Beckham couldn't figure it out, so when he asked his brother, he naturally asked Zhang Xiaobao, not Xiaohai.
Zhang Xiaobao looked at the pickles and the vegetables, and said to his younger sister, "Because the people who take the cargo ship are also smart."
"What do you mean?" Beckham asked.
"If you sell pickled vegetables, then the price of pickles must be cheaper than vegetables, and the pickles are also saltier than vegetables. When the time comes, the people on the cargo ship may only buy a bucket of vegetables, and then buy some pickles. Isn't it less profitable to sell food? "
Zhang Xiaobao explained to Beckham.
The nine little guys of Xiaobei opened their mouths wide, looking at the pickles in surprise, and then at the dishes that were poured out, and they looked very speechless.
"They... They just have a little calculation?" Xiaobei sighed and said. She felt that this person was too difficult to locate, and a food seller was actually playing tricks.
Zhang Xiaobao smiled and said: "It is not a small calculation, but the wisdom of life. Our country is supported by these small wisdom. Various industries and various things can learn knowledge from them. Then promote the development of society. When society develops, more little wisdom will appear.
Little by little, this country will become stronger. Otherwise, if you look at the people in other places, they are all stupid. If there is little wisdom in carpentry work, carpentry will not be able to do well; if the bricklayer lacks little wisdom, the house will not be well built; how can the cook not think about it if there is no little wisdom. Better new dishes
Don't underestimate these. They are the important part of the society. If someone can learn all the little wisdom, then what he has is great wisdom. "
"I know, thank you brother." Xiaobei listened very carefully, and said happily after he figured it out.
Xiaoyuan also said: "It turns out that it is like this. Everything comes from life, and then the change in life promotes the improvement of wisdom. Then... Is it possible to sell vegetables and pickles?"
Zhang Xiaobao thought about it and said, "It just so happens that you are all right when you are idle. 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."
"Yes, it’s the homework left for you, so you need to consider it carefully. When you think about it, it’s really feasible, then send someone to tell them to sell the food. Let’s eat, you buy, you eat first, and even if it’s not delicious. eat."
Wang Juan followed, and then smiled at the miserable face of his younger brother and sister.
"You can eat as you eat, and you can't eat anyone. I don't believe that he dared to poison me. I will come first and see. This is eggplant. It is not a roasted eggplant, or it is fried directly. The skin is fried and it is sliced cabbage. There are small bugs on the Caigang inside, Xiaoyuan, look at it, is the cabbage vinegar?"
Xiaobei leaned over to watch the dishes. There were two dishes, one was eggplant and the other was cabbage. They didn't look very good, so she decided to give Xiaoyuan a chance to eat first.
Xiao Yuan really went to eat. Take a spoon, scoop out a little bit and put it in a plate, use chopsticks to eat it in his mouth, and click twice: "It's okay, it's edible, but it's a little bit lighter and less oily. There is still some meat."
"Then you all eat it." Wang Juan said to his younger siblings, and then asked Zhang Xiaobao in a low voice: "How can you sell pickles and vegetables together?"
