Chapter 32: Shuangfeng Mountain joins Buyeo City
"There are not enough people in the city, so please don't mind." Zou Yu sincerely apologized.
"There, there, if we delay Zou Gongzi's business, we will feel uneasy." Bai Suhua said gently.
The soft voice makes people feel very comfortable, and they can't see the posture of slashing people with two knives at all.
"It's all trivial, the two of you shouldn't have eaten yet, let's talk as we walk." Zou Yu invited.
"Okay!"
Zou Yu lives in the county guard's mansion, saying that it is the county guard's mansion, but it is actually not big, because although Buyeo City is a county town, it is just a division of Goguryeo, and there is no county seat under it, because there are many ethnic minorities, so it is just a lonely city here, because of the war, now the guards are very few, of course, this is also because Goguryeo has been strong in recent years, and the surrounding tribes dare not provoke them.
Fang Zheng has lived in the mine for a long time, Fang directly commands the army, and generally does not leave the barracks, except for the monthly trading period, so there are only Zou Yu and ten guards in the county guard's mansion, and those who cook and do sanitation are all zero-hour workers, working during the day and going home at night.
Green vegetables, fish, simple two dishes, guests came, Zou Yu asked people to cook a dish of bacon, plus dried fish, this is the dinner for three people.
"I'm sorry I forgot to remind them that they have guests." Looking at the three dishes and one soup on the table, Zou Yu scratched his head and said embarrassedly. Entertaining guests is indeed very simple, and he is not worried that the two of them will misunderstand that this is slack, but it really feels too simple and a little embarrassing.
"Zou Gongzi doesn't have to mind, we are also people who are used to eating coarse vegetables and light rice, and besides, this has fish and meat, which is already very good." Bai Suhua said, she could see that Zou Yu was not pretentious at all. It can be seen that he usually eats these, but this is because he saw that a guest temporarily added two dishes, so he couldn't help but admire him even more.
"Tomorrow I'll cook and cook something delicious for the two of you." Zou Yu assured in a firm tone.
"You can also cook?" Hei Sumei asked in surprise.
"What's strange about this, I'm not a young master from a rich family."
"I don't know who else is in Zou Gongzi's family?" Bai Suhua's eyes lit up and asked.
"No, alone!" Thinking that he had crossed over and that his family and friends would never see each other again, Zou Yu couldn't help but look dark.
"Does Zou Gongzi have a marriage match?" Bai Suhua asked with a slight red cheek.
"Being in a foreign land, where is the time to think about this?" Zou Yu shook his head and said.
"What are your plans for the future?" Hei Sumei kicked Bai Suhua lightly, and asked Zou Yu casually, she was afraid that Bai Suhua would say something embarrassing.
"Plans? Of course, how to survive in this troubled world. Zou Yu was stunned for a moment and replied.
"Yes! The chaos in the world has risen, and it is not a good thing to be able to occupy Liaodong. Bai Suhua agreed.
"It's not that simple, not to mention the surrounding Khitan, Xi people and many other tribes, it is impossible for Goguryeo to ignore Buyeo City." Zou Yu rubbed his forehead and said.
"I see that there are a lot of Khitans in the city, aren't they attached?" Hei Sumei asked curiously.
"That's just a few small tribes, not only the Khitan, but also the Xi people and the Xi people, who have taken refuge here, and their current strength is not enough to resist Goguryeo." Zou Yu shook his head and said.
"We've got some!" Melina blurted out.
"What did you say?" Zou Yu looked up suspiciously and asked.
"Ahem! Sister means that we can help. Bai Suhua explained.
"Thank you for your kindness, this Goguryeo won't be able to beat for a while, and I guess it's at least safe this year. I can't delay your trip. Zou Yu put down his chopsticks and clasped his fists and saluted.
"Stupid." Hei Sumei muttered quietly with a deflated mouth.
“???” Zou Yu didn't know where to offend this aunt again, and stared at the two of them in confusion.
"To tell you the truth, the chaos in the Central Plains has risen, and our sisters don't have the confidence to keep the family business, and we don't want to follow the brother who lost his life one day, so I want to come to Zou Gongzi." Bai Suhua said straight to the point.
"You guys? How can you bring them so far from Shandong? Besides, it's not very stable here! Zou Yu asked unexpectedly.
"You just say you don't agree!" Hei Sumei's eyes widened, and she sat up straight and asked.
"Of course I'm welcome, but I can't keep everyone safe." Zou Yu said with a wry smile.
"You don't have to worry about this, they are all men with blood on the knife edge, and they are not afraid of fighting." Hei Sumei waved her hand and said.
"The main reason is that our sisters' ability is limited and we can't guarantee everyone's life, and we went out this time with all our belongings, and we can't sustain this little thing." Bai Su said with a blushing face.
"Humph! We're not like other cottages that never rob homes. Hei Sumei said proudly.
"You are welcome to move in Buyeo City, I don't know if you need my help." Zou Yu said happily.
"Our sisters won't go back, but we just hope that Zou Gongzi will provide a batch of refined salt, so that the brothers can pack a caravan and make a detour from Silla to go back and pick up the family." Bai Suhua said.
"It's a trivial matter, refined salt, pottery, we all make it ourselves, I'll have someone prepare it for you." Zou Yu said generously.
"Okay, we'll follow the city lord in the future." Bai Suhua hugged her fists.
"I've always felt like I'm understaffed, but it's much easier to have two people on board." Zou Yu is also very happy, there have always been many plans in his heart, but they can't be carried out, mainly because people must be left in the city to guard them, at present, except for the two Fang Zheng brothers, there is only him, the mine is inseparable from people, Fang Zhi has to run a transaction, he can't get out of the way.
"The lord of the city has something to do, just give orders." Bai Suhua said without hesitation.
"The white girl doesn't have to see the outside like this, just call me Zou Yu, as for the matter, don't rush for a while, wait until you get used to it, and I'll introduce the two of you to Fuyu City tomorrow." Zou Yu said with a smile.
"Okay!"
Although the meal is simple, but the guests and hosts are happy, for Bai Suhua and the two of them only two days, they directly proposed to take refuge, Zou Yu is not surprised, nor doubtful, the more he understands this era, the more he can understand the desire of most people to be stable. Not everyone has the feelings of being inseparable from their homeland, and no one wants to live better, which is why the imperial courts of all dynasties have given preferential policies, and many people are willing to relocate.
This is that there is nothing in the family property, and secondly, after the relocation, there are generally tax exemption and other policies, which is the biggest temptation for the people, and it can also be seen that the local power is strong, and how serious it is to exploit the people.
