Sixteen provinces in the south of the Yangtze River, sixteen ancient towns have their own characteristics, among which Suzhou and Hangzhou are the richest. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
As the richest place in Yangzhou, Suzhou and Hangzhou not only have beautiful scenery and characteristics, but also have extremely developed commerce, and are the places where businessmen from all over the world gather.
The reason why Yangzhou is so strong, naturally and the strictness of the state decree and law is inseparable, over the years, Suzhou and Hangzhou, as Yangzhou's first pilot to open up to the outside world to do business, for the entire Yangzhou economic recovery to bring huge benefits.
This is not only the center of agricultural civilization, but also the origin of commerce and the atmosphere of politics, and the people here may be worth a terrible fortune even if they are old men dressed in coarse linen.
One legend after another was born here, and one story after another was passed down from here.
Not long after the end of the Second Kyushu War, Xiao Fan, the new governor of Jianfu, took office, he ignored Yangzhou at first, put it aside and let it make trouble for a while, and waited until the merchants ran out of stamina, and cut off the economic lifeline of the entire Suzhou and Hangzhou with a quick knife, and firmly grasped its control.
If you want to revitalize Yangzhou, you must let the two ancient towns of Suzhou and Hangzhou take the lead in getting rich first, and Xiao Fan made up his mind to vigorously develop the business of the two ancient towns of Suzhou and Hangzhou.
Today, decades have passed, Suzhou and Hangzhou have indeed become the economic center of Kyushu, and countless businessmen and wealthy armor will gather here every year, and the order of tens of thousands of taels of gold may be decided between talking and laughing.
While business is booming, another industry is also on fire, and that is the bodyguard.
Because commercial transactions are often transstated, it is inevitable that you will pass through some places that do not care about the three things when crossing the border, and in other places, the road is difficult, and there are often banditry activities, and it is difficult to deliver the goods safely to the place without the escort of the dart master.
The relationship between the dart board and the businessmen is very close, and the first dart game in Yangzhou - the fish dragon dart game has maintained a deep friendship with countless businessmen.
Many businessmen who come to Yangzhou to do business, all of them reveal the shrewdness of the businessman's bones, they often spend a little money first, find someone to inquire which dart game is the most appropriate, and then act according to the market.
And the answer that these businessmen finally get is often the fish dragon dart game, which is located in the center of Yangzhou, has a unique advantage - many dart masters are swordsmen in Yangzhou Sword Mansion.
Of course, this also illustrates another problem, the master behind the Ichthyosaurus Dart Game is likely to be the governor of Yangzhou's Sword Mansion, the current saint.
In fact, there is nothing to do, in Yangzhou, the whole world is his, what is there to dispute?
The merchants will deliver the goods safely to the Ichthyosaurus Bureau, which will quickly deliver them to the designated place in a short time.
And these goods are also varied, ranging from small daily items to large goods, and those that require them to be delivered quickly will be sent by the human sword, and the slower dart masters will be delivered by horse-drawn carts.
The recipients of the mail have a affectionate name for these delivery masters - little brother, because most of these dart masters are young men, so "little brother" is the most accurate name.
In recent years, with the recovery of Kyushu's economy, the number of tasks carried by the Fish Dragon Dart Bureau has become more and more, and the original dart masters have been unable to complete the delivery volume on time, so the dart board can only recruit a large number of newcomers.
Over the years, the Holy Lord has called on everyone in Yangzhou to have something to do, and in order to respond to the Holy Lord's commandment, the Fish Dragon Dart Bureau has deliberately lowered the threshold for recruiting dart masters, and is no longer limited to recruiting male members as dart masters.
The dart master is a dangerous but high-paying industry, they may have nothing to do in a year, and they can easily get a lot of money, or they may have several accidents a month, and they may encounter relatively strong bandits, and they can't even save their lives.
Although the Fish and Dragon Dart Bureau has relaxed the recruitment requirements, there are still not many people recruited recently, and there is still a big gap from their requirements.
The amount of tasks was placed there again, and the upper echelons of the Fish and Dragon Dart Bureau ordered that in order to speed up the pace of the economy of Suzhou and Hangzhou, and then shrink the flow of gold and silver in the entire Yangzhou, they must solve so many tasks within the specified time.
The old dart master led by the three teams really had no choice, so he had to find the list that had been lost, and then use a red pen to mark it red, and add two more people.
One is a Confucian scholar in his early twenties, who looks weak and weak, although he is carrying a long sword, but he really doesn't have the slightest appearance of a swordsman, which makes people laugh when they see it.
The other is a girl of fifteen or sixteen, her skills are good, but she is still young, according to the laws and regulations of Yangzhou, she can not dart, but the current situation is urgent, the matter is extraordinary, the old dart master can only do this.
Before the kendo conference ended, this dart had already started from Yangzhou, and the end point was located at the junction of Jizhou and Yuzhou.
The old dart master has been to that place many times, when he was young for the first time there, he was shocked by the scenery there, the old dart master thought that he was a vulgar person, and he didn't know what the literati tasted elegantly, but the moment he arrived there, looking at the scenery in front of him, the old dart master was still deeply drunk.
Aside from the green reeds, a lake with a pale blue sky light appeared in front of you, and the green smoke surrounded the mountains in the distance, and occasionally unknown birds skimmed over the water, causing a circle of ripples.
To this day, the old dart master still remembers the charming scenery of Changdang Lake, but he is already old, and this trip is afraid that it will be the last time to see the scenery of Changdang Lake.
The old dart master has no company in his life, only when he was young, he met a handsome little lady, but she said that she only likes the son of the green shirt and sword walking the rivers and lakes, the old dart master thinks that he does not have that pride, and finally did not catch up and ask the person who still cares about him to this day.
Some fate in the world is like this, the more you force it, the more you can't get it, some things look good from a distance, and they really get closer, but they don't have that hazy and charming beauty.
The old dart master begged again and again, and finally got the promise of the manager that after this dart, he could retire.
After so many years of ups and downs, I've seen everything, and it's time to live a life that truly belongs to you.
People in the rivers and lakes, really can't help themselves, the old dart master is happy for his current self, and he feels helpless and sour for the Confucian who is excited about the first dart.
Every teenager always yearns for the rivers and lakes in his heart, but it's a pity that there are never real rivers and lakes in this world.
