Gunshots from 2788
"Oops, what's going on?" A woman came home from work and saw a large number of people gathered together, so she cautiously stepped forward and asked.
"What else could it be? speculated in stocks and committed suicide by jumping off a building. A middle-aged man shook his head.
"These boys, make money quickly, and the money they earn in a day is money that we ordinary workers can't earn in a lifetime, but what can we do in the end? If you don't get it right, you will lose your life all of a sudden. There are a few stocks that end well. The middle-aged man shook his head and said.
"Oh, this looks young." The woman looked at it and said. She was still very scared of such a bloody scene.
"Isn't it? The young man has to do something good, he has to go into this, and what is the result, he dies. His life was gone. Speculate in stocks, get rich overnight, this. Such myths kill people. The middle-aged man said disdainfully. A lot of young people are impetuous, and it is difficult for them to calm down and do things like: They calmly do some stable work, so that they can at least support themselves, but now, they can't support themselves. Although they had created a great deal of wealth, they had no life. What else does this mean? It doesn't make any sense anymore.
South Korea's stock market saw a sharp decline, and it was said that Lee Wen, who participated, held a large short position, followed by a consortium of Qin Guo, and the Bank of Korea was also said to be involved, and some major shareholders were moved. They keep selling their stocks. As a result, the stock fell sharply, much more than they could have imagined, and such a decline scared many people.
Zhao's stock market is also in mourning. Because there is no short-selling mechanism, they have fallen even harder. Because there is no buy order in the market, everyone is selling, and the decline is more than the shorting mechanism, which once made those investors doubt Li Mu's IQ problem, they believe that the Zhao stock market should resume their short mechanism, so that the market has speculative interest, there is no speculation, and many people are more pessimistic about the Zhao stock market. The Prime Minister's Office did not explain anything more about this.
There was also a large number of sell-offs in the Chu stock market, but the impact was not very large, mainly this market was relatively closed, and only the Qin consortium and the local merchants of Chu were bought. They already have the potential to invest, and they don't fall very much, on the contrary, many people are buying stocks, which is their only opportunity to invest.
The stock market of Qin State did not fall very much, although many stock investors once sold short, but the market soon rose again, which made them feel very regretful, they thought that if Li Wen was a speculative boy, they might make more money. It's a pity. Lee Wen is on the Korean stock market. In this way, it is destined that the stock market of Qin State will not fluctuate much.
Breaking the Waves.
"I don't know what happened to our people?" Wang Ying said worriedly. They can only moor here. But nothing can be done. The language barrier, they try to communicate as much as possible, but it is still a big obstacle, Wang Ying keeps buying knowledgeable slaves. In contrast, such slaves were cheaper, because these people could not do anything. However, they have a great talent for languages, they have a great ability to learn, and they bring a lot of knowledge, but they need time, and only enough time will allow them to solve all their problems. They take time to learn, and the process is tedious, but it's the only fastest speed ever.
"Captain, do we still have to wait? Do we go back first, report the situation here, and then come back again, when they come back, they may pay more attention to the situation here. They're going to be on the record, and I think it won't be long before we get the news back here. After all, there is already a telegraph on the east coast of the Western continent, and we can solve all problems by telegraph. Guo Xiang put forward his own opinion, they keep mooring here, it is meaningless, because this will only waste time, they come here, not to do business, although their goods have aroused great interest in local merchants, especially muskets, which bring them a great shock, but they are not here to do business, but to come here for exploration activities, or in other words, they are the pioneers of South Korea to understand the world, to explore the world, for them, it is very beneficial. They can know how the world is developing, and those areas can bring a lot of profit.
"You mean we're going to leave and go back?" Wang Ying asked.
"Yes, Captain, we must do it now. If we don't, we're in a very bad situation, and our purpose is to explore, not to stay here, and what is the benefit of staying here for a long time? There's simply no way we're going to stay here. Guo Xiang said.
"But we can't give up our own people, they are us Koreans. They are the pioneers we send out. Abandon them, us. Wang Ying hesitated, for abandoning his own people and returning alone, Wang Ying felt that he couldn't do it, because this was a very cruel thing, but if they didn't do this, they wouldn't be able to meet the requirements of the expedition, their purpose was very simple, that is, to explore the world, but, trapped here, they couldn't do anything. This is not good for them, which makes Wang Ying very embarrassed.
"Captain, let's do this, I'll stay, give me a few people, I'll stay in the local area, wait for them to come back, or wait for you to come back, we are here to record the customs here, maybe this will be useful to us, as long as we are alive, we will definitely be able to make a greater contribution." Guo Xiang said.
"This. No, no. Wang Ying shook his head and said.
"It's very bad for them to do that, you should know what kind of place this is, this is the country of Seth, a place we've never been to, we don't know what the attitude of this country is? All we can do is stay here. Wang Ying said. In fact, he thought about such a thing, but it was immoral to do so. It's very bad for the expedition, and if everyone can throw it away, no one will come to the expedition.
"Captain, I am personally willing to do this, because the customs here are very attractive, you can marry wives and have children, you can marry many wives, this is what those scholars told me, they know a lot of things, this is the place where the Semitic people live, it is very hot and arid, only in the north, there is a country of Seth that is mainly agricultural, we can wait, or we can continue to the north, look for the country of Seth, if we find this country, we can get a lot of help." Guo Xiang said.
"At the same time, I personally think, captain, it's very bad for you to stay like this, the reason is that there is no point in this place at all, you need to go back and tell those merchant ships to come here, there is a great opportunity here, not only that, but also the customs here, the situation here, and tell us that Korea, there is a country called Saith Country here, this country needs a lot of trade, our merchants can get a lot of benefits, this is a great help for our development, we need them. They also need us, and if you don't go back, no one knows about this country called Seth, and there is no point in what we do. Guo Xiang persuaded.
"This." Wang Ying was still a little hesitant, he didn't want to abandon his own people.
"Captain, you are not abandoning us, but for a more important thing, what is the purpose of our coming here, that is, to tell us everything we know and see in South Korea, but if there is no such person to go back, what is the point of us here, we are on land, the risk at sea is much greater than ours, go back, you can know more things, if you don't go back, South Korea itself will not know anything. We're here for nothing. Even if we die, we feel very lost. Guo Xiang said.
"Okay." Hearing this, Wang Ying nodded and said. Although he was very reluctant to do it in his heart, Guo Xiang was right, what is the point of them continuing to stay here, they don't have any meaning at all, South Korea needs to know the situation of this country called Sais, if they don't go back, South Korea won't know about such a country, and there will be no point for them to stay here. Now all they have to do is write down everything here.
"Captain, you take those scholars with you, there is no point in staying here, we need to know the language here, they are very knowledgeable, they know a lot of things, if we can be proficient in their language next time we come, our affairs will be very easy." Guo Xiang said.
"This. I think it might be better for them to stay and help you, after all. Wang Ying held Guo Xiang's hand and said.
"No, no. They are living specimens, and we can find anyone here who learns, is near, is close to us. That's the kind of people we need. We have no shortage of such people. Guo Xiang said.
"Well, I'll leave as much supplies as I can for you, and I hope you can be of great help." That's all Wang Ying can help. It was the only thing he could do.
And in the north, within the territory of the country of Seth. Zhang Bi and his party walked on the Gobi and the beach, the sand here is very fine, and they don't know how to describe it.
They were the expedition sent by Wang Ying, and there were only five Koreans. In addition, they have a guide who starts with the departure, and the guide is a businessman. Bankrupt businessman. However, he felt that he had found an opportunity to make a fortune, these merchants from the East, they had special goods in their hands, such as their weapons were very powerful, this was definitely an opportunity to make a fortune, he felt that this was an opportunity for him, although he did not understand their language, and his own name may not be understood by the other party. But he knew that this was an opportunity, so the bankrupt merchant kept taking them to the country of Seth.
However, there were a lot of guides who joined along the way, including a large number of slaves and caravan laborers who transported goods, and their group had more than thirty people. This is a very large caravan, and this caravan is a very worthwhile expedition for them.
"Where have we been? It's too hot here. "Jambi was not wearing the local costume, which was almost the same as that of the Arabs, with white turbans and white robes. But Zhang Bi thought that he was from the Central Plains, these were barbarian tribes, and there was no need for him to learn such people, and as a result, he was dizzy from the scorching sun. Although they were not short of water, it was of no use to keep drinking it, so they took a sip. It felt like it was evaporating all at once. Even if you give him a well, the water will evaporate.
"I don't know, it's the same everywhere here, I don't know." Brother Zhang said later. He was dressed in the clothes of the locals, and from the outside, they were the same as the locals, but Zhang Xiaoge's situation was better than Zhang Bi's.
"Brother Zhang, you better change into clothes here, it's not a way to go on like this, it's too hot here. We simply can't stand the heat. The clothes of the locals are still relatively good. Our clothes were too thick. I think that only silk can meet our needs. Brother Zhang said.
"No, we are the Central Plains, the Central Plains people must have the backbone of the Central Plains people, and they must have the clothing characteristics of the Central Plains people. You know? Zhang Bi said after taking a sip of water.
"We're not just here to explore, it's more to let the country of Seth know about us. We can't do that. Zhang Bi said.
"Okay, but it's just too hot in here. Let's just go on like this. Saying that, Brother Zhang was lying on the camel, this is a dromedary camel, which is different from the Bactrian camel they saw in the Western Regions. At first they were curious, but now they feel that there is nothing either.
"How long have we been gone. Haven't been to the country of Seth yet? Lao Wu asked. His name is Zheng Wu, and others call him Lao Wu. He is very young, only twenty-one years old, but he came here to make a fortune, the expedition can get a lot of wealth, which is an important reason to attract the fifth child, the Central Plains country is many sons, the eldest son can inherit the inheritance, but he cannot. His family was poor, and although his income increased and his life improved, his condition still did not improve, so he had to come out and make money from his expedition. He wanted to make a fortune.
"Not yet. We haven't gotten to the country of Seth yet, it's going to be a long time before it's the same everywhere here. Zhang Bi replied.
"Oh. It's the same everywhere here, and it's not interesting at all. Lao Wu said.
"I asked the guide before, and when we get out of here, we can reach the country of Seth. But it's not safe here, as if the Sabbatarians are near us, and to the east, not much distance to the Sabbath, and not far from there seems to be a town in front of us, where we can do business, and a little later, we can get there and rest. Zhang Bi introduced. He's the head of the place, and despite the language barrier, they can barely communicate by drawing pictures or gesturing. Smart people naturally have smart ways.
At dusk, they finally arrived at the town they were going to. They quickly settled in and the local guide was very kind to arrange everything for them.
The food was very unique, roast lamb, barley cakes, it was very dry, but fortunately they could drink some of their own wine, and the others drank water or milk. The local food is still relatively rich, with a lot of fruit that they have not eaten, in addition to grilled fish, which is said to be a delicacy of the Seth country. Locals like to eat with their hands, but they are not used to it, they like to eat with chopsticks.
The guides who joined in early were accustomed to these people from the Eastern countries, and the people who came later, or the locals, watched like monsters how these Orientals from the Eastern countries magically changed their two small branches. They could pick up anything, and the locals were very curious to try it, but they soon felt that it was a very difficult thing to do, they had never thought of such utensils, but they still studied hard to accept such things.
Just when everything was in harmony, a violent tremor came, and they didn't understand what was going on. There was such a violent tremor, but the locals were quickly frightened, they were extremely frightened, and they knew that there was danger, but he did not know what kind of threat there was. He didn't know what the cavalry was supposed to be arriving, but what kind of cavalry would cause such a panic. Zhang Bi didn't know, he felt that they would definitely not be able to escape the cavalry. Because the cavalry was just too fast.
"Bang bang. Bang bang. At this moment, a burst of gunfire came, and Zhang Bi and the others were extremely surprised that they actually heard the gunshots here. This surprised them.
"Oh my God, I heard you right." Zhang Bi asked the fifth child on the side.
"Like, I heard it right, I heard it right. You listen. It's gunshots. The fifth pricked up his ears and said.
"Bang bang. Bang bang. "The sound of the gunfire came again, but there were a lot of screams in between, a lot of people shouting loudly, and then they were killed, which sounded very terrible, and then there were shouts outside.
"What should I do?" Lao Wu took out his flintlock pistol and opened the fire door and asked.
"I don't know, but if we do, we'll definitely get caught." Zhang Bi said worriedly.
"But the only way is that we are Koreans, and we can use the situation of our Central Plains people to explain where we come from. Maybe. Zhang Bi said.
