Chapter 669: Grape Square
Liangzhou, Dunhuang.
The Gobi is connected to the desert, and the air is full of buzzing sounds.
This is a bizarre phenomenon of chirping sand.
It is a peculiar but universal natural phenomenon in the world. In deserts and sand dunes, due to the influence of various climatic and geographical factors, the fine sand grains dominated by quartz are caused by the wind blowing, the sand slides or moves with each other, and many sand particles rotate in the air flow, and the place where the "empty bamboo" effect is buzzing due to the cavity on the surface is called the sand land.
Dunhuang City south of Mingsha Mountain, the train passes through here, ten rows of big trees on both sides of the tracks, this is the Chenhe Kingdom to help the Western Regions to protect the railroad tracks from the erosion of the sand and think of a clever trick.
As the train moved forward, every 1,200 meters, there was a huge telephone pole, and the wires and telephone lines were all walking on this pole.
"Brother Wang, the front is Dunhuang Station, the next stop is Yumen Pass, to the Great Western Regions City, it should be before dark."
It was Ma Xiu, the Ma Chao brothers, who spoke.
Ma Chao took a sip of tea, closed the curtains, took a deep breath and said, "It's only been a day, and I've returned to the Great Western Regions City." It's really fast. I've been on this train more than ten times, and each time I always feel unreal, as if I don't belong to me. Second brother, how do you say the national teacher is now? ”
"Brother Wang, to be honest, without a national teacher, there really would be no current Great Western Regions Kingdom. It is said that after leaving, the national teacher lived in seclusion in the Aral Sea City, and now he was summoned to Chenhe City by the Chenhe Kingdom, but it was never rumored that he held a position. With the talent of the national teacher, it is also possible to serve as a minister or the governor of the frontier. ”
"Don't talk about this, if the national teacher is here, he must have an idea. Today's news came back, saying that Lu Meng was going to enter Guanzhong, and Guanzhong would definitely be invincible, so Xiahou Nan probably didn't even dare to resist. After the Guanzhong was settled, Cao Zhen and Hao Zhao's back road was cut off, and even the grain and grass could not be solved. In this way, it will not be able to support it for long, and it is also the situation of the Touchen River Country. If the national teacher is here, he will definitely be able to show the king a clear way. ”
Ma Chao was bored and took out an object from his arms, which was rectangular and had a screen, but it was a mobile phone.
Ma Xiu said: "Why don't you ask someone to find the phone number of the national teacher, or you can ask for an idea." The momentum of Jinchen River Country is too great, with a population of 30,000 and an army of 3 million by sea, land and air, if it wants to swallow up our Great Western Regions Country, it will definitely not be able to resist. If there is a national teacher to show the way, I am afraid that if I can know the bottom line of Chenhe Country, it is a negotiation, and I can also know myself and the other. ”
Listening to this meaning, it seems that the two brothers have talked about this matter a long time ago, and I am afraid that it has been more than once.
Sure enough, Ma Chao said: "I just want to be like the Buyeo country, and have enough autonomy." It can also protect my Ma family brothers with a three-generation blessing. ”
As long as you don't get rid of the country, it's no problem to protect the three generations, as for what will happen in the future, then who can think of it.
Ma Chao was talking, and suddenly the mobile phone in his hand began to sing.
"I used to ask endlessly, when are you going to come with me---"
But it was the ringtone, a strange call.
"The phone number starting with 1, this is the county number of Chenhe County, who is calling?"
Ma Chao was a little puzzled, but he also skillfully pressed the answer button.
"Hey, I'm Ma Chao!"
"King! King! Hello! I'm Zhou Budo! ”
There was a sound of excitement on that side.
As soon as Ma Chao heard this, he quickly sat up straight.
"Hey, it's the national teacher, why did you call today?" Ma Chao was a little complicated in his heart, but he was still more excited than others.
"King, I've arrived in the Great Western Regions City, and I just got off the plane. Where are you, I'm going to meet you and by the way I brought you something good, you absolutely love it. ”
"Okay, okay, okay, it's good to come, bring something, around six o'clock in the afternoon, my train will go to the Great Western Regions City Railway Station, see you then."
Ma Chao doesn't care what good things he brings, he can buy good things by himself, Chenhe Country has never banned any good things from flowing into the Western Regions Kingdom, except for the latest armaments.
What Ma Chao cares about is what he is doing here!
Zhou Budo has arrived in the Great Western Regions City.
Today's Great Western Regions City, with the rapid development, under the support of Chenhe Kingdom, vigorously develops the wine industry, and wine production accounts for 60% of the world's total!
This is what Ma Chao admires about Yang Xi.
It is one sentence that can become the cornerstone of a country's take-off.
Ma Chao found that in addition to producing grapes and wine, the Western Regions really didn't know how to develop, and it was so fast. With a population of more than 1.5 million, there are one million wine practitioners.
Merchants from all over the world came to establish wineries in this area.
This doesn't matter, Yang Xi also taught the Western Regions to evaluate wineries, rank tastes, and select the top ten wineries, the profits of this wine simply made Ma Chao himself red.
The cost of a bottle of wine is estimated to be less than half a Chenhe dollar, and the price is more than five yuan!
This is a low-grade wine, ten times the profit, and the cost of high-end is only six or seven cents, which can be sold for more than ten yuan a bottle!
However, it is said that Zhou Budo is naturally extremely familiar with the Great Western Regions City, and there are many people who know him, and the current Western Regions National Teacher Lu Qicai and others were all promoted by Zhou Budo at the beginning.
And Lu Qicai is subordinate to the National Security Administration, and he is the person in charge of the Great Western Regions at the moment.
But Zhou Budo should not go to see Lu Qicai, he wants to see Ma Chao first.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, the train station was blocked, but Zhou Budo was not affected, standing on the platform alone with a backpack on his back, watching the train slowly entering the station.
The police force blocking the train station did not deliberately let Zhou Budo stand here, but they did not see such a person at all.
Ma Chao and Ma Xiu came down and found Zhou Budo early, but they were extremely puzzled.
But Zhou Budo first hugged his fists forward and said: "Zhou Budo has seen the king and General Ma!" ”
"The national teacher is very polite. Or let's go back to the palace first. ”
"Good!"
It wasn't until Ma Chao and Zhou Budo had a conversation that the police found out when there was one more person in the circle.
got on the bus, and it didn't take long to arrive at the palace of the Great Western Regions City.
Zhou Budo is extremely familiar with this place.
On the square in front of the palace, there is a sculpture, which is the world-famous Grape Square, which was built by Zhou Budo himself. In the central garden of the Place des Grapes, surrounded by twenty-four huge jets of water, is a red wine bottle with a brass casing.
This red wine bottle seems to be placed diagonally on a wine shelf, more than 30 meters high, and is the landmark building of the entire Great Western Regions City.
Zhou Budo and Ma Chao and Ma Xiu pointed out and talked and laughed from the square into the palace, and the current national teacher Lu Qicai led forty or fifty officials to greet him, and this great Western Regions country has also become a climate.
After entering the palace, Lu Qi had already prepared a banquet, and Zhou Budo was just rubbing rice.
Lu Qicai didn't know that Zhou Budo was coming, this was a banquet for the king.
The guests and hosts sat down, those who knew and those who didn't know said hello, and Ma Chao announced the banquet.
Surprisingly, Ma Chao picked up the first glass of wine, and he was undoubted.
"Don't doubt the national teacher, it was the king who was puzzled at the beginning, so that the national teacher left. The national teacher is really a great contribution to my great Western Regions country, this king respects you this cup, all the past is a passing eye, today you can come to see me, I am deeply grateful, this cup of wine, this king respects you! ”
Zhou Budo got up, picked up his wine glass, and saluted Ma Chao from afar: "The king doesn't have to blame himself, everything in the world, whether right or wrong, will always be handed over to time." This glass of wine, no doubt to drink! ”
Saying that Zhou Budo did it first as a respect, Ma Chao also raised his head and drank.
At this time, Zhou Budo said again: "Today, for the return of the king, I don't doubt that I want to use this cup of wine to give the king a gift and add some color to this banquet." ”
Ma Chaoqi was surprised, Zhou Budo really came to bring a gift to himself, and proposed it in public, I was afraid that it would not be cheap, so he laughed and said: "Since there is no doubt that the national teacher has this heart, how can this king refuse, I don't know where the gift that the national teacher brought to this king is." ”
Zhou Budo turned around, took the package from behind, took out a wooden box from it and said: "Don't doubt take it with the king, this thing is valuable, don't dare to leave it." [End of chapter]
