517 Chapter 517
In the western country, it is mainly a small group of intrusions, and then the abduction of people back to China, this kind of simple work has no technical content at all, the conditions in the western country have always been worse than that of the river country, the reason why they can be safe and sound across the river, but because neither country wants to have a sandpiper and mussel to compete with the fisherman for profit.
Now the situation is very different, the so-called land in the west that was given to the Sui State was naturally given by the Jiang State, and because these lands had been unilaterally attributed to the Sui State, the war was also equivalent to having the support of the Sui State, at least there were convenient conditions for the issue of food.
Using the money stolen from the western country to buy the grain of the Sui country, supporting the attack on the western country and capturing the population, no matter how it is calculated, it is a profitable deal.
Shui Father listened to Shui Zhen calculate the account, and initially understood his thoughts, and his face showed a little interest.
"Now the matter here, I have to bother my father to accept it, I want to go to Suiguo to have a look, to find out about the matter of Princess Tears, no matter who it is, so bold to kidnap the princess, our Jiangguo must investigate to the end, and we can't indulge them. ”
These words are still very righteous for the family and the country, and the water father did not object when he heard it, Shui Zhen told him about his arrangements for those prisoners, It is necessary to open up the wasteland and grow grain, but the treatment given to them made the water father whisper, feeling that it was too lenient, and his own subordinates could not get such good treatment, but he gave the prisoners food and clothing without worrying about the treatment.
"On this point, I have wanted to say for a long time, why can't we give better treatment to people with the surname Shui?" Shui Zhen said again about the development of the ethnic group.
Because of the existence of witch power, Jiang Guo attaches great importance to blood, but it is the structure of a feudal country, and the existence of subordinates is indispensable.
Originally, there were few people, and some people of the same race became inferior because of poverty or some reason, and the mortality rate was higher, and the future development can be imagined to be narrower and narrower.
Domination of big races with small races has always been a problem.
Shui Zhen didn't want to do anything great to unify the world, but just wanted to seek a stable environment for him to learn the application of magic power.
The importance of those who are of the same blood as him is self-evident.
The water father was speechless for a long time, and he could barely understand the reason, but specifically, "You go and tell the monarch." ”
Shui Zhen was a little disappointed, shook his head, and said, "It's not time yet, it's just that our family can improve the treatment of people with the surname Shui." ”
At dinner, Shui Zhen went to the palace, the monarch left him to eat together, on the table, the five-year-old princess Yang came over and thanked him, her expression was still a little ignorant, I don't know what it means to be a wife, I only know that because Shui Zhen proposed, she didn't have to leave home.
"The princess doesn't have to worry, how can the princess of our country marry outside?"
Originally, there were few people with blood, and the princess was also bloody, and it was a waste to marry outside.
The prince, who was also at the table, was shocked when he heard this: "What do you mean by this?"
Shui Zhen didn't expect the prince to be so keen, and it didn't seem to be a straw bag at all, thinking that day he dragged the envoy of the country to immerse himself in beauty, and he didn't mean to resolve everyone's embarrassment.
Sure enough, a small country that has survived so far, if the monarch and the crown prince are incompetent, where can it exist in the end?
The nurse went down with Princess Yang in her arms, Shui Zhen turned around and looked at the prince seriously, but the other party's perennial face was a little serious at this time.
"I just don't want our princess to die in vain. Shui Zhen said, and took the initiative to ask the monarch, "Please also ask my grandfather to let me investigate my aunt's whereabouts, I will definitely bring her back." ”
"It's good that you have this heart, outside, it's too dangerous. The monarch said this, and his eyes fell lovingly on Shui Zhen's face.
"It's just going to the country, it's not that dangerous. Shui Zhen argued on the basis of reason, indicating that the relationship between the following countries has now eased, and the envoy's handwritten letter in his hand is the best proof of this.
The monarch has always been not good at talking, and in the end, he couldn't say it, but he still agreed.
After the banquet, the prince took his hand and asked him to go to the palace to rest, and a few beauties gave him Yunyun, but Shui Zhen refused, only saying that his mother was not at ease and asked him to go back early.
"Don't believe too much in Suiguo, they're not good. The prince sent him out, and finally gave a simple and unpretentious admonition.
Shui Zhen listened warmly, it was obviously the emperor's family, but there was no intrigue in the emperor's family, and their closeness was without any reason because of the same bloodline, and there was no suspicion or suspicion.
"Don't worry, I know. ”
The sound of the water is crisp.
On the day he left, he didn't rule anyone, and with a dozen soldiers drawn back from the western country, he rode out of Jiangguo.
After walking in person, I realized how small Jiangguo is, but in a few days, I was able to reach Suiguo from the nearest road, so that the distance between the two countries seems to be between two villages, which is too close.
Suiguo is also a small country, it and some small countries around it are moving closer to Chu, after years of assimilation, their clothing language, together with their beliefs have traces of Chu, together with coins are more identified with the cloth coins of Chu.
Although Jiangguo is closed, there are also cloth coins in circulation, mainly brought by the surrounding small countries, and Jiangguo itself does not make its own currency, and the cloth currency of Chu is the cloth currency of Chu State, which is also the currency that the surrounding small countries are more recognized.
Among the items sent to the princess for marriage, there is a box of cloth coins of the Chu State, and in addition, there are some other Jiangguo special items.
It's just that these special items have not been sold before, so it's not easy to inquire from here.
Shui Zhen is very targeted, as soon as he came to Suiguo, he found a nearby county seat to settle down, and then showed the document of the envoy's handwriting to the other party, which was written very broadly, that is, Jiangguo investigated the disappearance of the princess and asked the officials of Suiguo to cooperate.
When the county magistrate saw the handwritten letter, his attitude was much more respectful, and when he heard that Shui Zhen wanted to check the dealers, he only agreed with a little hesitation.
"My lord, why are we checking the vendors?"
The little soldier who followed Shui Zhen was only a teenager, and he followed Shui Zhen to the West to kidnap people before, and then he came back with Shui Zhen, and then came here with him, and the time was considered a long time, knowing that Shui Zhen was not a majestic adult, and he dared to ask some questions.
"Since the news came from the merchants, if you want to find a specific place, of course, you can only rely on them. Shui Zhen said this, but he thought more in his heart.
In this era, maps are a very important thing, and it is almost illegal for civilians to possess them, so what is the world like? How are the nations distributed? What are their sizes?
All this information, asking the local farmers will naturally not gain anything, they may have ancestors in this land, they don't know the farther places, only merchants, from south to north, even the most ordinary businessmen, have walked more places than farmers.
Among the scholars, they can be regarded as the most knowledgeable people, but businessmen are easily seduced by immediate interests and do some treacherous things, which is despised.
When he was about to arrive at Lae, where the incident occurred, Shui Zhen had already drawn a brief map of the countries through communication with the merchants of the various countries, and when he looked at the map, he was also a big head.
The period with the most countries in history is the Five Dynasties and Sixteen Kingdoms, just listen to the number, but after looking at the map he drafted, I knew what the Five Dynasties and Sixteen Kingdoms were, that is a corner of this.
This is not all, merchants from farther places will not come to Suiguo, Suiguo is only a producing country, there are not many special products, and unless they are forced to do so, few people use distant water to quench their thirst and go to such a far place to buy food.
So all he knows is the many countries around him, and some of them are what the businessman heard from businessmen from other countries, but there are already dozens of countries on the map, hehe, dozens.
Shui Zhen felt that he was going to have a dense phobia at a glance, it was really these countries, except for the four big countries, the other ones, densely packed, all of them were small countries that could only write one word, and one more word would be out of the land area.
In this case, seeing the only "Jiang" character in Jiang Guo, Shui Zhen once again recognized the reality, if he wanted to unify the world, it would take decades to fight, which obviously did not meet his expectations.
Sent two people to follow him to investigate the news of the princess, in fact, there is nothing to check, it has been so long, the corpses that died here have been ripped back into the ground, even if they dig it out, there is no trace.
In this era, the wars are all surging up, and ambushing and killing people have no technical content, and many corpses have a lot of scars, and it is difficult for non-professionals to see which is a fatal injury at a glance.
Shui Zhen looked at it and shifted his mind.
This trip came out, saying that it was to check the whereabouts of the princess, but in fact, it was to do reconnaissance things in order to better understand the world, and the main thing was to use the envoy's handwriting to check the deployment of various cities in the country.
Nowadays, people rarely have any sense of secrecy, and there are no special soldiers, some news, chatting during the slack time, and some are even praised as glory to praise how many people are when the soldiers are arranged.
It lasted two months, Shui Zhen arrived at the capital of Suiguo, visited the envoy who went to Jiangguo last time, and met the monarch of Suiguo under his recommendation.
The domestic ministers are in charge, even the prince has to retreat, and the very arrogant envoy in Jiang Guo is the disciple of the minister, and on the day he met the monarch, Shui Zhen was received by the minister.
