Chapter 609: The Mountain is High and the Emperor is Far Away

Although the mountains are steep, there are valleys and basins. Whenever I go to such a place, the population increases. And! It's the same as Da Zhou's side, it's very messy. Even! It's messier.

There are land tyrants everywhere, and if you don't have one to rely on, it will be difficult for you to survive here without taking refuge in one faction. Unlike the territory of the Zhou Dynasty, there were the Son of Heaven above, the princes below, and the local aristocratic officials. And here, there are no emperors, princes and nobles, only land tyrants and local forces.

In some places, there is only one force. So! The place is relatively calm and not so messy. But! If you don't obey other people's management, you won't have a good life.

If the powerful person does not like you, you will not have a good life.

Peng Zhou and others went all the way and exchanged the four horses for food and local currency, that is, money. Other than that! Along the way, get along the road and ask about the specifics.

These wide places are not suitable for seclusion. This place is actually the same as the Zhou Dynasty's side, or even more chaotic. Whoever has the most power will be able to mix well. Or rather! Whoever has the most power can be here to cross.

"Seclusion? Hehehe! The listener was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter. Then he said, "You can live in seclusion everywhere, but you have to find it." In fact! You can live in seclusion everywhere in the world, and you don't need to come here. ”

"Find? Where to find it? ”

"Look for it in the deep mountains and old forests, there is no place for tribes around, and there is no place for Orion to occupy. So! If there is a good place, you can live in seclusion. ”

"Oh?"

"If a tribe takes over, where do you go into seclusion? The tribe of people makes you live in seclusion? ”

"Oh?"

"But! If you have a good relationship with the leader of the tribe, you can live in seclusion in their territory. ”

"Oh?"

After inquiry, the situation was probably like this: there were different tribes in various places, and these tribes lived together. But! They often occupy territory in their sphere of influence. Originally! All they need is the place they live in. But! When they hunt, they consider their territory wherever they go.

Therefore! And their territory grew infinitely.

There are hunters occupying, where do you go to seclusion? Orion found a good place, and he moved there himself.

"So? Where is the Nanban that the ancestors said? Peng Zhou asked puzzled.

"Further southwest! The higher the mountain, the better! There are no plains! There are rivers everywhere. There! There are definitely not many people. ”

"Oh?"

"Anything that can't feed thousands of soldiers and horses is a place where you can live in seclusion."

"This?"

"Let's put it this way! A plain capable of feeding thousands of soldiers and horses, then! There's no way you can live in seclusion. Think about it, don't you? People bring thousands of soldiers and horses to kill you, where can you run? ”

Peng Zhou thought about it and felt that it was like that.

But! The plains and basins that can support thousands of soldiers and horses are quite large.

The plains and basins that can raise thousands of soldiers and horses were basically unified by the Zhou Dynasty or the Chu State.

Basins and plains that can feed hundreds of soldiers and horses are almost everywhere.

"There is only a place to feed a few hundred people, and you can find a place to live in seclusion. Because! When you come to seclusion, it cannot be two people, but dozens of people. Otherwise! How do you live in seclusion? Life is inconvenient, isn't it? Do you have to go out to the market town to buy the necessities? For example: salt, labor tools, cloth, etc.! Isn't it? Your number is small, and you don't dare to go out. You pass through someone else's territory, and someone else may not let you go. Isn't it? ”

"This?"

"So! If you come to Nanban to live in seclusion, you can't live in seclusion if the number of people is small, so you can only find a place to live near the market town. And then! Build relationships with the people around you. As long as you have a good relationship with the people around you, you can live a more stable life than the Zhou Dynasty. After all! There will be no years of war here. Even if there is a war, it is a struggle between various small forces. ”

"Oh?"

"If you have dozens of people, you will have hundreds of people in a few decades. So! You can occupy a piece of territory. And then! You can form your own faction. If others bully you, you can resist and resist! Isn't it? ”

"Oh?"

"Actually! It's the same everywhere! It's impossible to escape from the world! You have to be ready to fight at all times. You have to have your own power, strength, and power! You can only survive if you protect yourself. Seclusion! And just to survive......"

"Senpai!" After Peng Zhou listened to the other party's words, he knelt down and kowtowed on the spot.

"Hehehe!" The speaker laughed: "My ancestors are just one step earlier!" How many generations have we lived here. Before! When the ancestors came into seclusion, there was almost no population here, so it was called Nanban. Afterward! With more and more people living in seclusion, it is no longer the former Nanban land! Youngster! ”

Along the way, Peng Zhou, Liang, Chai and Yu met the descendants of countless predecessors. The ancestors of these people were all wise men. They had already seen through the red dust, so they took refuge in the land of the Southern Barbarians. Outcome! With the chaos in the Great Zhou Dynasty, more and more people came to live in seclusion in the Southern Barbarian Land. Outcome! The great plains and basins were full of people. And then later! There are those who claim to be kings and hegemons, and establish kingdoms. At last! It was annexed by the army of Chu and became the territory of Chu State.

Those who are wise, seeing that it is no longer safe here, continue to migrate to the deep mountains and old forests on this basis.

And Peng Zhou and others are outdated! People have migrated for hundreds of years and have long been familiar with the life and environment of Nanban. And they! It is only now that he has migrated from the Great Zhou.

No! I haven't migrated yet, but I'm just here to check on the situation.

You're not familiar with the environment, where do you find a good place to retreat?

Good retreats have long been occupied by the descendants of these pioneers.

Good retreats are definitely still there, but! It's not that easy to find.

Peng Zhou is not good at diplomacy, but! It's not so passive. Salmon has the ability to be diplomatic, but! Too steady, cautious. If Lü Buwei had come, everything would have gone a little smoother.

Lü Buwei is good at diplomacy, no matter who you are, he can get close to you and have a good relationship. No matter who you are, Lü Buwei can take advantage of it. Including the wicked and the bad, he can use them skillfully.

The situation is like this, and there are no major problems and dangers on the way to the land of the Southern Barbarians. Because! There are professional caravans that have opened up passages, and you just have to follow them. And the danger! It is in the deep mountains and old forests. When you leave the market town to look for a retreat in the mountains and forests, you may pass through the territory of the tribe, and there is a possibility of danger and accidents.

If you meet a primitive tribe who has never seen the world, you can't explain it to them. If you don't understand their rules, they may be put to death......
