Chapter 179: The goal is too good
"This..., of course not," Zhiwen was also distressed, "To be honest, I haven't thought of it yet, is there any place that can accommodate our two thousand people, so that we can live in peace and stability, or everyone will talk about it?" ”
said that it was to ask everyone, but in fact, Zhiwen pinned his hopes more on the Sun family and Xiaojie, after all, they had read the book, and the others were purely soy sauce.
Dr. Sun, Baqian and Xiaojie all shook their heads in embarrassment, although they had a certain understanding of the geography of the mountains and rivers in the world, but they really couldn't do it if they said that they were ugly.
"Why don't I tell me?" Song Xiance smiled.
After speaking, without waiting for everyone to answer, he took out a paper scroll from his arms and slowly unfolded it on the ground, which looked like an ink landscape map.
However, when Zhiwen took a closer look, he found that this was a map of the Ming Dynasty, which was only drawn with the techniques of Chinese painting, and there were some problems in the proportion, but the Yellow River in the shape of a few characters could still be seen.
"This is the southwest of Jinxi, and we're here right now." Song Xiance pointed to the right side of the vertical fold of a few words, "Although there are not many fields in Jinnan, it has always produced salt and miscanthus salt, and ordinary people are still living a good life, so if you stay here to sell sweaters, the sales should be good." ”
"Then let's stay here and not have to leave?" Kobayashi asked.
After fleeing for more than half a year, everyone is actually very tired, not only physically, but also psychologically, so if they can not leave and stay, most people are happy in their hearts.
Only a few people such as Dingguo and Xiaojie frowned, and it seemed that they were not willing to stay.
Sure enough, Song Xiance went on to talk about his point of view, "It's just that we have done such a big thing, although our hands and feet are clean, aren't we afraid that the government or anyone else will find out about us?" ”
"The most worrying thing is that even if there is no evidence, the government can plant this matter on us, as long as we are arrested, they have an explanation from above, and their own guilt can be reduced."
The big guy was shocked and moved when he heard it, can the government still frame people at will like this?
"Lao Song is right." Zhiwen spoke, "If you don't want to be branded as a bandit and a thief by the government, and be killed by the official army, no matter how good Jinnan is, we can't stay." ”
"Why did the government arrest us!" Kewang was indignant, as if he hadn't done it.
"Just because there are a lot of us, and we have formed a group, it is best to carry the black pot." Song Xiance said calmly.
"Then when we go out of Jinnan, will the government send someone to chase after us?" Dingguo asked.
"Generally not, unless the governor of Shanxi wants to clean us up, but a small Yan family, please don't move this great god," Song Xiance sneered, "As long as we go out of the territory of Pingyang Mansion, it has nothing to do with them, they either find someone else to take the bag, or say that they have defeated the bandits, how many have been captured, etc., and they have to report the victory, hehe." ”
Yes?! Everyone couldn't accept it for a while, if it was really a bandit, the government would deal with it like this?
"There is no doubt that the government is so shameless." Zhiwen said, "Old Song, since you say so, you must have a goal?" ”
"Originally, if we went east and bypassed Yuncheng, we could reach Zezhou, which was the fastest route to leave Pingyang Mansion," Song Xiance began to explain the escape route, "It's just that now that we have gone so far to the north, there is no need to go back." ”
"Let's continue to go north, after reaching Pingyang Fuzhi, turn east, pass Lu'an Fu, and arrive at Taihang Mountain at the turn of Jin and Hebei, which is the first goal."
"Taihang Mountain is steep, and it is the intersection of the two provinces, as long as we get here, even if the governor of Shanxi wants to deal with us, it will not be easy."
Zhiwen looked at the location of the map pointed by Song Xiance, where a small area of mountains was outlined, and suddenly understood his thoughts, "Old Song, are you planning to let us settle in Taihang Mountain?" ”
"Exactly, Brother Zhi." Song Xiance said, "But this is not the most ideal place to stay. ”
"Let's continue to travel north along the foothills of Taihang Mountain," Song Xiance's fingers continued to move up, and finally stopped at the end of the mountains, "Here, the northernmost part of Taihang Mountain, is our destination." ”
"Old Song, you let us go to Taihang Mountain to avoid the officials and troops of Western Jin, but why do you have to go to the northernmost side? It's already a border town. "Yachiyo everyone—mainly Dingguo and Xiaojie and others—asked the question in their hearts.
Song Xiance shook his head, "There are so many people to raise, and going to Taihang Mountain is not only to avoid the official army, but also to find a place to settle down. ”
"Brother Zhi said just now, we have to rely on sweaters to make money, so I think we should find a place close to the pastoral area, so that there will be no problem with the raw material of the sweater, wool."
"Well said." Zhiwen couldn't help but slap his hands and admire, "To the north, you can quickly get out of the jam and collect wool, to the east, not far from Jingshi, whether it is selling sweaters in Jingshi, or selling them to Jiangnan through the Grand Canal, it is indeed a good place." ”
Now Zhiwen has the amount of miscanthus salt, it can be said that at least in several years do not have to worry, lime is simpler, as long as there is limestone can be fired, only wool has become a short board, although the stock is still a lot, but the stagnant water is not scooped, it is necessary to find a stable source of raw materials.
"Brother Zhi is right," Song Xiance was proud and happy when he saw that someone finally understood his intentions, "This is the real reason why I chose this place as our foothold." ”
"Old Song, I have a heart." Zhiwen nodded at Song Xiance, and then said to everyone, "If you don't have any opinions, let's follow Old Song's route?" ”
"But don't I think it's a little insecure?" Dingguo asked, "Since this place is not far from Border Town and Jingshi, these two places must be heavily armed, and the threat to us is not small." ”
"Don't worry too much about that." Song Xiance said, "As long as we don't steal or rob, and don't attract the attention of the government, no one will be full and have nothing to do, and come to us for trouble, of course, it is necessary to find a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack." ”
"In fact, whether it is the border army of Jingying or Datong and Xuanfu, their combat strength is extremely poor, and under normal circumstances, they will not be good at fighting."
"Moreover, in the future, when you buy wool and sell sweaters, you will inevitably have to deal with them, and when the time comes, you will send some money and get in touch, is it possible that they will also attack their God of Wealth?"
Song Xiance's last two sentences of explanation made everyone's hearts feel at ease, money can make ghosts grind, and even more so for officials and soldiers, who will have trouble with money?
"Okay, if you have no opinions, let's pack it up today and leave tomorrow." Zhiwen finally made a decision.
