Chapter 15: To Shouchun
According to the "Historical Records", Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, was born in Feng County, Surabaya County, and served as a pavilion chief in Pei County.
The purpose of Song Daodao's trip is to find Liu Bang in Peixian, and then hold on to this thigh.
If you want to find Liu Bang, you have to know where he is.
From the analysis of the time period, Liu Bang is now either continuing to be the pavilion chief, or he is also escorting the guards to the border like Song Daodao.
I have read the translated version of "Gaozu Benji" Song Daodao, which says that Liu Bang once escorted the soldiers to the border, and later because there were too many people who fled, he simply broke the jar and broke all the people, and he took a group of people who were willing to follow him to hide in Mangdang Mountain.
Later, at the end of Qin, Liu Bang returned to Peixian to respond to the situation and rebel.
In this way, it is very likely that Liu Bang is now hiding in Mangdang Mountain.
It has been a day since he left the six counties, and on this day, Song Daoke has not been idle.
On the night of resting in Wu Aya's house, Song Daodao was confused by the sudden arrival of Wu Chen, so he had to go to the bookshelf to find a book with the same hypnotic effect as an English book, but he accidentally found four thick copies of the "Survival Book of the Late Qin Dynasty" made of thin silk.
There must be no such book at the end of Qin, so this book is probably compiled by Wu Aya herself.
Unexpectedly, this kid really worked hard to adapt to the life of the late Qin Dynasty, Song Daodao roughly flipped through it, and it was divided into four articles, the first one is "Life", which is the shortest of the four, Wu Aya just recorded some of the normal conditions and precautions of Daqin's life in the form of a diary.
The second is "The Law", which is all the legal provisions of the Qin Dynasty, one after another, and it is estimated that Wu Aya himself only copied it once, almost all of which are the original text of the legal provisions, and there are few annotations, it seems that even Wu Aya didn't understand this text, let alone himself.
The third article is "Text", which is simply the essence of the whole book, which includes the writing of the official book and its corresponding simplified characters, and the commonly used words seem to be all included at a glance, and the rare word Wu Aya also gave an annotation, which is really intimate.
For Song Daodao, the humiliating things in front of Lao Liu Tou's house at that time are still vivid, and sure enough, no matter in that era, literacy learning is the eternal theme.
The last article is the "History Chapter", in which Wu Ayaji's biography expounds on the historical events and figures that occurred during the period from the unification of the Qin Dynasty to the establishment of the Western Han Dynasty. It's a pity, it is estimated that Wu Ling has not had time to finish writing, and it is only over when Chen Sheng and Wu Guang fail together.
It's too much to take away all four books, and for "Life" and "History", Song Daodao relied on his superb reading speed to finish reading it before dawn. As for the "Law Chapter", Song Daodao directly gave up.
Therefore, Song Dao only took away the third article, the "Text Chapter", and a copy of the administrative map of the Qin Dynasty drawn by Wu Aya himself. This map is drawn according to the drawing method of modern maps, from the Xiongnu in the north, to today's Hainan Island in the south, to the East China Sea in the east, and to Loulan in the west, including the map of Daqin.
Along the way, Song Daodao has been studying the ancient sayings and the writing of the official book. Fortunately, the leader of the caravan was also a scholar before he started business, and if Song Daodao didn't understand anything, he asked him directly.
After Song Daodao's understanding, this caravan seems to have a good history.
The leader of the team is called Ji Tao, a native of Ba County, and this caravan is not his, but that of his master Ba Qing.
Song Daodao was strange at first, he had seen the map of the Qin Dynasty, the caravan was going to Hengshan County, that is, the modern Henan area, and Ba County was in Sichuan, why did the caravan take a long detour to Jiujiang County in Anhui first, and then go to Hengshan County?
Listening to Song Daodao's question, Ji Tao knew that Song Daodao had never been to Shu and did not understand the terrain of Shu.
Shu is surrounded by mountains, if you want to get out, you either go over the mountains, or take a boat along the Yangtze River, it is obvious that taking a boat is the most cost-effective. Therefore, the caravan followed the Yangtze River to Hengshan County, and then went north to Hengshan County.
After Ji Tao's explanation, Song Daodao understood how important waterways were in ancient times. No wonder Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty has to build the canal even if the country is ruined, and it is really "if there is no water palace dragon boat matter, Gongyu will not have much merit".
For Ba Qing, the owner of Ji Taode, Song Daodao didn't take it seriously at first, but after learning about it later, Song Daodao knew that he had met a big figure in history again.
I don't know if this Ba Qing is recorded in history by Song Daodao, but his mother Song Daodao has seen it in the fourth chapter of Wu Aya, she is the business predator of the Qin Dynasty - widow Qing.
Song Daodao had never heard of this predator before, and when he saw this person in "History", Song Daodao was also shocked.
As we all know, in Daqin, the dynasty with the most serious emphasis on agriculture and suppression of commerce, being a businessman was simply self-defeating. But this widow is a widow, not only by virtue of her ancestral inheritance to become a strong woman in the industry, but also borrowed business to enter politics, the Great Wall of the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum, that is, Qin Shi Huang ate the elixir, she has sponsorship.
The most amazing thing is that she even has an army of her own, just to protect the family property. Qin Shi Huang was not able to tolerate it at all, and even named her a "virgin" and built a "platform" to commend her.
Sure enough, no matter what era it is, if you are rich, you are a big man, and if you are rich, you can do whatever you want.
After learning about the background of this caravan, Song Daodao couldn't help him too happy. I am also lucky to cross over, and every time I am in danger, there is always a big guy who comes out to help.
The caravan had been on the march for a day and a night since yesterday evening, and it was now approaching evening.
The caravan leader Ji Tao said that he would be able to arrive in Qi County before tonight, and the caravan would stop at Qi County for repair.
Song Daodao took out the map he stole from Wu Aya and wanted to find out where Qi County was.
The caravan was set out from the six counties, and the target was Hengshan County, and Naqi County should be in the middle.
Song Daodao carefully searched for the line from the six counties to Hengshan County, and sure enough, Wu Aya's map also indicated the location of Qi County, which was in the northeast of the six counties.
"Little Brother Song, you have a map." Ji Tao, who was sitting on the side, looked at the silk that Song Daodao took out of the package, with crooked lines drawn on it, and a bunch of irregular circles, the most important thing is that Ji Tao couldn't understand the words on it.
"Yes, it's normal that you don't know it, Brother Ji, after all, my map is much more advanced and accurate than what you draw." Song Daodao said proudly.
"Not necessarily." Ji Tao looked disdainful, but his eyes never left the map in Song Daodao's hand, "You haven't been to our Bashu land, how can you draw such a map." ”
"Just because you haven't been there doesn't mean you haven't dreamed of it."
"What do you mean by that?" Song Daodao saw the sour look on Ji Tao's face, and couldn't help but want to show off in front of him, "When I was crowned, an old man appeared in my dream, handed over this picture to me, and passed on my skills to help the world." ”
