Chapter 267: Coming Home
The Keju match came to an end with cheers, and both sides felt unfinished regardless of whether they won or lost. Originally, the players on both sides who "fought hard" on the field were on the field, but when they got off the field, they hooked their shoulders one by one, and they didn't see the "bloody rain" of the party.
Since Guo Bin is the east, with his character and today's wealth, he will naturally not be without color. All the participating team members, whether Xianbei or Han, will be given a house in the three cities outside the Saiwai. In addition, the winning team will also receive a considerable number of vouchers as a reward.
Guo Bin vigorously promoted vouchers and strengthened people's recognition of them, and now is an excellent time. There is no need to say anything about it among the Han people, after these members of the Xianbei people who are quite appealing and influential have obtained the vouchers, they will inevitably arouse the envy of everyone in the tribe, so the effect of the benchmark will be erected. As long as the voucher is popularized, Guo Bin can be regarded as a hand on the artery of the Xianbei ministry, if there is any change in the future, Guo Bin can manipulate the economy of his ministry with his fingers, so that he will not worry about his obedience.
In this way, both parties happily received their prizes and dispersed.
After everything was arranged in the three cities outside the fortress, Guo Bin also led his 700 cavalry south. When I first came to Saiwai, it was still covered with ice and snow, vast and strong, but there was no vitality at the end of winter, now the earth is springing, the ice and snow are melting, the trees are born, looking at it from afar, the vast grassland is yellow-green, but it is a good scene of early spring outside the Saiwai.
As for the disadvantages, I am afraid that the road surface is muddy and difficult to walk due to the melting of ice and snow. No matter how rich Guo Bin is, it is impossible to build a hardened road from the three cities outside the Saiwai to Yingchuan. I am afraid that this magnificent project will not be realized until after the founding of New China in later generations.
However, some obstacles could not stop Guo Bin and his subordinates from going home. More than 700 horsemen wore helmets and armor, and each soldier was tied to two of the most elite and most divine horses of the Xianbei tribe behind his buttocks, which shattered the tranquility of the spring morning and entered the Central Plains from the Great Wall.
Because it was a caravan and there was a special person to lead the way, the road was extremely smooth. And the army marched south, all the way majestic, murderous, not easy to provoke at first glance, so all the bandits were small, and no one dared to take the lead. After passing Youzhou, it entered the territory of Jizhou, last year Guo Bin had followed Huangfu Song in Jizhou to fight in the south and north, vertical and horizontal, the terrain and routes are very familiar. Moreover, this elite cavalry with the banner of Guo Zishuai is already known to everyone in Jizhou.
In the states and counties that I passed through along the way, there were many parents and officials who led their fathers and elders to work in the army. The army walked and stopped, and stopped and walked, which was very delayed. Guo Bin was so annoyed that he had no choice but to sleep in the wilderness, and when he really needed to purchase military rations and other necessities, he took people into the city or to nearby villages to buy them for five baht.
It is in this limited contact with the fathers and elders of Jizhou that you can feel the prestige of Huangfu Song in Jizhou, and it is also worthy of great credit to destroy the rebel army and appease the place.
When Guo Bin and they came, they took Taiyuan from Luoyang Road, went north to Yanmen Pass, and then went straight to the west line of the three cities outside the Saiwai, but now they are taking the east line. The eastern route runs southward along the eastern foothills of Taihang Mountain, crosses the entire North China Plain, passes through Youzhou and Jizhou, enters Yanzhou from Dongjun, and then passes through Chen Liuguo, and finally arrives in Yingchuan County.
The army marched all the way south, and after entering the territory of Yingchuan, the first to arrive was Changshe. At this time, the city of Changshe had already changed greatly, although the width of the moat and the height of the city wall had not changed, but in the southwest of the city, where the water was blowing, the main battlefield for the pursuit of the Yellow Turban rebellion, a very large manor had been built at this time.
It is more of a small town than a manor, because its location and size alone make it look like a satellite town of Chosha Castle. There are not many residences in the manor, and there is no vast farmland outside the city, and there are no farmers with hoes and short brown knots at the city gate, but the people who enter and leave the manor are well-dressed and appear to have a very high status.
The entrance to the manor is full of people, and the wide, hardened road leading to the gate of the Changsha is particularly conspicuous. The vehicles on the main road are constantly coming and going, and then look at the carriages, it is obvious that they are all precious goods such as silk, cups, pottery, etc., which are dazzling.
Guo Bin did not lead the army into the Changshe, but went straight to this manor. Zhang Fei rode on the horse and said in amazement: "When was this manor built?" Why have I never heard of it? ”
Dong Xing'er giggled on the side: "You are an old black, you only know how to find someone to compete all day long, where do you know these things?" Dong Xing'er has been following Guo Bin to the three outer cities, but during the war, Guo Bin was afraid that she would be hurt, so he left her in the central city, no matter how hard and soft she was, she just didn't take her out of the city to fight. Because he knew that the matter of blocking and connecting was extremely dangerous, how could he let Dong Xing'er be in danger?
Zhang Fei listened to Dong Xing'er's words, but he was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "Xing'er, tell me about it." ”
Dong Xing'er's face was solemn, and she pretended to be a good teacher. When I saw Zhang Fei, the big black man, touching the back of his head and looking like a good baby, he couldn't hold back anymore and burst out laughing. Guo Bin had already heard the conversation between the two, and when he turned around, he saw her smile, as if the whole world had been lit up, and he stayed there. Dong Xing'er raised her head suddenly, saw Guo Bin's appearance, her cheeks immediately turned red, and she said to Zhang Fei: "This has been built a long time ago." But without explanation, the jade foot was a little belly, and the war horse sped away.
When Xi Zhi saw it, he laughed and said to Zhang Fei: "This manor is still the credit of Xun Wenruo." After the Battle of Chuchangshe, the lord begged the Huangfu chariot to take the lives of 200,000 Yellow Turban captives. For this matter, he also had a conflict with Zhu Gongwei. "Gongwei is Zhu Jun's expression, and what Xi Zhicai said is that Guo Bin led the army to surround Zhu Jun's handsome tent that day. This kind of thing can't be mentioned on weekdays, otherwise it will cause trouble, but now that there are no outsiders present, Xi Zhicai has a lot less worries when he speaks.
Zhang Fei said: "I naturally know this, but what does this manor have to do with the extermination of the Yellow Turban Army in the first place?" ”
Xi Zhicai said: "This is still the order of the lord, the original 200,000 Yellow Turban captives were stranded outside the city of Changshe, life and death are unknown, and the future is uncertain." If he was allowed to be idle, he was afraid that he would cause trouble again, so the lord instructed Xun Wenruo to let these Yellow Turban captives build a manor here. The lord has an order, and everyone is naturally trying their best to move forward, so the technicians of Yangzhai Construction Co., Ltd. led the team and sent hundreds of construction masters to carry out construction with these yellow turban captives. Because of the abundant manpower, it was completed in less than two months. ”
Zhang Fei suddenly said: "I see, I think I would have been outside Guangzong City at that time." ”
As he spoke, everyone rode to the gate of the manor. At the door, a half-grown man dressed as a guy saw Guo Bin and the others, rushed up, grabbed the reins of Guo Bin's war horse, and shouted: "Lord! It's finally waiting for you! ”
But it turned out that Guo Bin traveled all the way, and there were small pigeon stations set up along the way to deliver news to Yingchuan and the three cities outside the Saiwai. Therefore, the news of Guo Bin's southward journey had already reached Yingchuan, and Changshe City, as the gateway to the north of Yingchuan County, naturally got the news early. There is Xun Yu presiding over the overall situation here, and He Man, the former leader of the Yellow Turban Army, plus the support of wealthy families from all over Yingchuan, so although it is located in the Central Plains where the Yellow Turban Rebellion swarmed, the key point of north-south transportation, it is as stable as Mount Tai, and even built such a manor in peace.
Xun Yu is not the county order of Changshe, so although he has a very high status in Guo Bin's camp and has the support of the Yingchuan Xun family, in order to avoid suspicion, he still handles government affairs in this manor. This extremely cautious and low-key attitude is very much agreed by Guo Bin, and the false name sometimes has the effect of deterring Xiaoxiao, but more often it is still troublesome. Therefore, Guo Bin is very appreciative of people who are low-key and high-profile people.
Thinking that Xun Yu got the news of Guo Bin's southward departure, he waited at the gate of the village, this half-grown son was a person from Fulong Villa, so he recognized Guo Bin. Everyone entered the manor under the leadership of the half-eldest son, but saw that the places along the streets in the village were occupied by various shops, restaurants, and teahouses, and there was no rule of segregation at this time.
This scene, in the eyes of everyone, suddenly had the illusion of arriving in Luoyang City. But even in Luoyang, in order to facilitate management and maintain law and order in the city, the city used for trading and the workshop used for living are also completely separated. It's just that Luoyang City gathers business travelers from all over the world, people are divergent, bustling, and although the city gate closes much later, there is still a curfew.
Now that this manor is owned by Guo Bin privately, whether to set up a curfew or not is all determined according to Guo Bin's needs.
Pointing to the tall brick and stone buildings behind the shops, Guo Bin said to Zhang Fei as he walked: "Yide, take a closer look, can you see what these buildings are for?" ”
Zhang Fei looked confused, and just shook his head.
Guo Bin said: "These are all warehouses, which are large storage areas that are very similar to the three cities outside the Saiwai. This manor was built as a large commodity distribution center, which is indeed different from ordinary farms. There are only six or seven thousand permanent residents in the village, and many of them are men in restaurants, inns, teahouses and other facilities, and the other is a man who is responsible for carrying supplies. ”
Zhang Fei was puzzled: "The three cities outside the Saiwai are naturally because there are Han and Xianbei caravans to transport materials there, so there is a need to build a large-scale warehouse, but what can there be in this Changshe City?" How can so many people come to do business? ”
Guo Bin laughed and said: "It's rare that Yide is willing to use his brain." Although there is no special production in this Changshe city, it is adjacent to Beijing in the north, Jingyang Erzhou in the south, and it is an important place from Xuzhou to Beijing in the east, and it is close to Yangzhai County in the west. Moreover, the materials produced by my Fulong Villa are extremely rich, whether it is soap, wine, or stationery, they are all goods that are marketed all over the world. Therefore, this Changshe City, as a place for the transfer of materials in Yingchuan County, is cheap. ”
With today's industrial production capacity of Yangzhai County, it can even reach a state that is not very wealthy. Therefore, whether it is raw materials coming in or goods being shipped out, the throughput is staggering. The geographical location of Yangzhai County is not very good, because it is located in the hinterland of Yingchuan, the traffic is not very convenient, if you want to enter Beijing, you have to take the Changshe. Therefore, Guo Bin simply followed the example of the three cities outside the Saiwai and set up a large-scale material transfer center outside Changshe City as a distribution center for goods and raw materials in Yangzhai County. This not only facilitates Yangzhai County, but also collects information from all over the world, and greatly strengthens the connection between counties in Yingchuan County. ()
