Sometimes, many people are easy to confuse many things, not to mention unreliable characters such as place names, so when Liu Chen said that he occupied the city, everyone looked at him suspiciously. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Your Highness, where is the city?"

Hearing this, Liu Chen realized his problem, so he had to laugh, and then said unconcernedly:

"There is a southernmost county in the old Han Dynasty, called Rinan County, south of Rinan County, where the city is located."

When everyone was worshipping Liu Chen's knowledge, Liu Chen's heart was quietly tight.

He forgot the specific period when Zhancheng appeared, but remembered that in the Han Dynasty, Ninan County Xianglinyi rebelled independently and established the Xianglin State, and the word Zhancheng was rumored to appear in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, as for Zhancheng rice, it was introduced to the Central Plains in the Song Dynasty.

But these explanations with Mi Zhao will only get darker and darker, so Liu Chen chose to be silent, and the others don't know the reason for this, they just feel that this highness knows everything, like a god.

They drove lightly, walked day and night, and came to Qianwei County, the first county south of Shudu in two days.

Qianwei ruled Wuyang, which is a good place for outstanding people, Fei Shi and Zhang Yi of Shu Han are people here, and there are many other second-rate military generals such as the Yang brothers (Yang Hong, Yang Xi).

Here, Liu Chen did not stay too long, but just walked through it, felt the local customs and customs, and the impact of the new policy on the local area, and continued to go south.

In order not to cause unnecessary trouble, the scouts sent by Liu Chen tried to choose a quieter path, as for the few mountain bandits whose eyes were not bright, they directly destroyed the bandits and burned the cottage, as for being discovered, it was a long time later.

Then, it took nearly ten days to come to the center of Nanzhong, Jianning County, that is, the original Yizhou County, Zhishao County (now Qujing, Yunnan), and the prosperity was no less than that of several major counties around Shudu.

To the south of Jianning County, crossing the Panjiang River, it is to enter Xinggu County, which is not only the southernmost county of Shu Han, but also the county that intersects with Jiaozhi County of Wu State.

With the certificate of merchant registered in the Han Kingdom, after being searched by the border guards, Liu Chen and his entourage entered this Jiaozhi County.

Entering here, you can find that this place is different from Shuzhong and the Central Plains, the mountains and fields can be seen everywhere is a leisurely wild elephant herd, Liu Chen looked straight at the eyes, if these are all tamed, he can form a thousand elephant corps, at that time the entire Mobei Hebei is not allowed to gallop by themselves, preaching Hanwei?

Although thinking so, Liu Chen has no intention of getting closer, don't look at the elephant looks honest and kind, but this is also a very grudgeful species, in his previous life, I heard that many elephants killed people for revenge, not to mention these wild and untamable wild elephants.

"Your Highness, why are these people different from us, you see that their sideburns are curly and their complexion is black, it's strange!"

Liu Chen is not surprised by Mi Zhao's remarks, these are the ancestors of the Malay-Polynesians in Indochina, and it is normal for this situation to occur.

Seeing these people, Liu Chen was very happy, there are so many Xianglin people here, which shows that the sinicization of Wu is still going well, if he sends an army in the future, the resistance will naturally not be very strong.

Liu Chen and his entourage are in business, but there are a lot of gadgets from Shuzhong on the team, and there are very few bronze knights, more brushes made of pig bristles, as well as brushes, paper and other things.

When Liu Chen and others spent a small amount of money to set up a small shop on the street and put out brushes, brushes and other things, they immediately attracted many local people.

It's not that these things are very valuable, but that the people at that time already knew the existence of the Han Dynasty in the Central Plains, and their yearning for that kind of prosperous and advanced civilization made them very willing to contact the merchant team from the Han land.

For business matters, Liu Chen is naturally proficient, but in order to hide his clumsiness, he still only sent a man who is a little skilled in arithmetic and knows how to write as a manager.

As for himself, he took Mi Zhao Jiang Jian and a few people to inspect and visit, and at the same time looked for something that he needed and did not have in Shu.

Knock, knock......

Just as Liu Chen was walking by himself, while admiring the exotic customs, there was a sound of chopping wood, maybe the wood was a little hard, so the man couldn't cut it for a long time, so it was accompanied by the sound of constant scolding.

"Dead wood, rotten wood, no matter how you cut it, you can't cut it, I'm tired of the uncle!"

Looking at this young man who was only seventeen or eighteen years old, but there was an uncle on the left and another uncle, the feeling of scolding people while doing things made Liu Chen feel familiar, so he couldn't help but stop.

"Childe, what's so nice about chopping wood, that person is a waste......"

Jiang Jian didn't seem to be interested in chopping wood, so he opened his mouth to urge, but Liu Chen still looked at it and was unmoved.

Seeing this, Mi Zhao also looked at the wood under the young man who was chopping wood, and then said to Liu Chen:

"Childe, this wood seems to be a little hard, as if it is a local ......"

"Thou art not a ...... waste"

Jiang Jian was about to scold, but when he thought that Liu Chen was beside him, he hurriedly stopped his voice, but his eyes still didn't look over there, obviously disdainful.

When the young man saw that Liu Chen had been staring at him, he was already chopping firewood, and he couldn't help but shout:

"Look, I've never seen chopping wood!"

Seeing this, Jiang Jian and Mi Zhao are gone, you are a little chopping wood, dare to do this to Your Royal Highness, you don't want to live!

"Come back!"

"But the palace, the son ......"

Liu Chen's soft shout stopped the two, Jiang Jian was not angry, but when he touched Liu Chen's gaze, he couldn't help shrinking.

And the man also found out that Liu Chen had an extraordinary background, and the two strong "servants" of Mi Zhao Jiang Jian made him even more frightened, so he had to stand in place.

Looking at the brown quadrangular branches, and sporadic oil could still be seen on the surface, Liu Chen's eyes flashed, and he ordered:

"Dusty, didn't you say that chopping wood is nothing, then you go and try it now, and see how good your ability is."

When Jiang Jian heard the order, he didn't argue, walked over and grabbed the man's axe, raised his hands and slashed it fiercely.

Syllable!

The axe stuck three feet into the wood, and the other end of the wood was smashed into the soil with great force, obviously not weak.

But as soon as the axe went down, there was no situation where it was split in half, Jiang Jian seemed to feel insulted, gritted his teeth and continued to chop.

And this scene was seen by the people walking around, especially when he saw Jiang Jian, who was so big, but he was competing with a piece of wood, and couldn't help laughing and said:

"Haha, this person from the Han Kingdom is so stupid, don't you know that rouge wood is not good for chopping, and it is actually used to burn firewood?"

The word "rouge wood" made Liu Chen's eyes widen, and then Jiang Jian, who didn't care about the wood struggle, took Mi Zhao and led the man into the low hut.

"This little brother, I just heard that this is rouge wood, but I heard that it is produced in Siam, why is there also it in this Yuma state?"

Seeing Liu Chen ask this, the man hesitated a little, wanted to say something, and glanced at the photo next to Liu Chen with some fear, looking very entangled.

Liu Chen seemed to know what he was thinking, and waved his hand to Mi Zhao and said:

"Bourne, give this little brother some money, and let me buy water here to drink!"

Hearing this, Mi Zhao took out a piece of silver from his coat, which seemed to be the size of four taels, and made the man's eyes suddenly.

Goo!

Swallowing a mouthful of water with difficulty, the man looked at Liu Chen and asked uncertainly:

"It's ...... For me? ”

Seeing Liu Chen nodding, the man quickly snatched the silver coin, and then hurriedly carried it closely, lest Liu Chen regret it and wanted it back.

"Can you tell me about it now?"

Seeing that Liu Chen really didn't seem to have any intention of asking for money back, he also saw that Liu Chen must be the kind of person with deep pockets, so he simply didn't hide it, and approached and said:

"This is when I went to the black sheep stream thirty miles outside the city to cut firewood, I saw the golden light outside, I thought it would be something good, and when I came back to inquire, I knew that it was rouge, which can be used as a spice to repel mosquitoes, so I wanted to split it and burn it, I didn't want to be so hard......"

Liu Chen didn't listen to him, but continued to ask:

"According to my observation, there is a forest less than five miles outside this city, so why do you have to travel thirty miles away?"

Hearing this, the man knew that he had missed his mouth, and a ruthless color flashed in his eyes, but when he found Liu Chen's indifference, and Mi Zhao's cold snort, Jiang Jian also poked his head in from the door, and quickly restrained his expression.

Thinking of Liu Chen's actions and knowing that he was a wealthy businessman, the man's eyes rolled, and then he smiled and said:

"It's just that I've been a little short of money lately, and I want to go outside to see if I can make some money, so I ......"

When the man said this, Liu Chen understood that the most common thing here was the wild elephant herd, and ivory was the favorite thing of the rich and noble, so this person was afraid that he had a crooked mind.

Maybe when I was young, I would still have compassion, but since I learned that people are swords and I am fish and meat, that kind heart has gradually changed.

However, perhaps influenced by the policies and calls for the protection of wild animals in his previous life, Liu Chen was still a little disgusted with this person, so after getting the answer, he got up and left.

"Eh, don't you take a look at this prime minister, I'm all the best goods here!"

Seeing that Liu Chen was leaving, the man was in a hurry, so he hurriedly got up to stop him and opened his mouth to recommend his capture.

But Liu Chen opened his mouth and smiled:

"Although I have some family assets, I don't do these businesses, so the little brother should find someone else."

The man still wanted to stop it, but he was mentioned to the side as if he was being lifted by Mi Zhao's little chicken, and then there was a warning look, the man's neck shrank, and then he didn't dare to follow.

Liu Chen, who went out, did not look back, but instructed Jiang Jian, who followed up:

"I believe in karma, and I believe in doing the right thing for heaven, you know what it means to be lonely, go clean and let the people here converge, otherwise this earthen wall alone will not be able to stop the crazy attack of hundreds of crazy wild elephants."

Jiang Jian led the order to retreat, and a few dodges blended into the not too wide street, and no trace was found.

Liu Chen didn't care about this, but thought about it and instructed Mi Zhao:

"You send someone to find out the location of the black sheep stream, if there really is such a tree, then seal it off, but anyone who comes close will be killed!"

Hearing Liu Chen's words, Mi Zhao couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, and held back for a long time before asking:

"Your Highness, isn't that just a few pieces of iron and wood, and we don't live here, what do you want to do?"

Liu Chen knew that he would ask, after all, if it was carried out according to Liu Chen's requirements, there would be many people who would die unexpectedly.

Mi Zhao, who has always respected Liu Chen, didn't want Liu Chen to do anything wrong, so he asked.

Liu Chen seemed to know this truth, sighed, and then lowered his voice and said:

"Lone said that this is the king of ten thousand trees, do you believe it?"
