At this time, the news of the accession of the king of Xinchu came over, and the monarch of the country of Gu and his doctor were also a little panicked. Yue Guo was an important ally of Chu to contain Wu before, and this time the mother of the King of Chu is still from Yue, and she also has a little affection for her motherland. In case Gou Jian sent someone to ask for help from the Chu State, the Chu State would more or less send some people to support him, taking into account the feelings of the past and the current origin of the queen of Chu. This will undoubtedly be the last straw that crushes the camel's back, and Gu Guo is unwilling to continue to fight, so he sends people to Yue Guo, hoping to make peace with Gou Jian.

In the end, after discussion, the country of Gumei ceded the city of Gumi and restored the original border between the two countries. But starting this year, the annual tribute to the Yue State has been reduced to only one-tenth of what it used to be. Although Gou Jian was heartbroken for these tributes, he finally had to agree. After all, now that the vitality of the Yue Kingdom is greatly damaged, even if he defeats the army of the Gu Country, he will not be able to occupy the Gu Guo country, let alone continue to fight with the Gu Guo country, and the Yue country will also have more gains than losses. And now it is the best result so far.

But this also made the prestige of the Yue country in the vassal states drop, a dignified Yue country, after the famous family (the ancestor is Dayu), the old vassal states that inherited the three dynasties (Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties) were actually bullied by two small barbarian countries.

(Although Yang Zilu is a viscount, this is just self-proclaimed, and Zhou Tianzi's will has not yet been issued!) Therefore, in the eyes of other vassal states, the Han State was still a small barbarian country. ）

In fact, Gou Jian is not aggrieved! Yang Zilu doesn't care, after losing the battle, Gou Jian already has a way to deal with it. Because of the literary genre's dedication to Gou Jian, regardless of whether Yang Zilu is Sun Wu's disciple or not, poke it out first. With such a shield, the country can be regarded as glorious even if it is defeated.

Sun Wu almost wiped out the Chu State, which had been spanning for 400 years, and it must be known that even the heyday of the Jin State could not do this period, let alone such an upstart as the Wu State. And Sun Wu's disciples defeated the Yue Kingdom, which is not a big period, compared to his teacher's achievements, it is already small, but it can also make the Yue Kingdom glorious even if it is defeated. Now it's okay, even a small barbarian country like Gu Jian has bullied Yue Guo, and the hatred and grievance in Gou Jian's heart can be imagined.

…………

Yang Zilu didn't feel anything about Gou Jian's grievances, his biggest feeling was that Gu Guo and Yue Guo did not fight to the death, which made Yang Zilu disappointed. Especially in terms of money, Yang Zilu has made a lot of materials, there are 300 slaves alone, and there are three copper mines and one tin mine for ten years, and this permission is still proposed by Yang Zilu. But Gu Mi Guo finally had to agree, there was no way, the weapon that Yang Zilu improved was inferior, but it was also stronger than the weapon created by Gu Mi Guo himself.

Moreover, the bronze industry of the country itself is not developed, the quality of weapons is poor, and the supply of weapons cannot meet the requirements of the front.

However, although the war ended, Yang Zilu's good fortune also came, and the seven-month trip to the Central Plains was finally resolved. Remnant Zhu took Zhou Tianzi's envoy back to Jiukui City.

…………

The envoy sat in a carriage and looked at the people of the Han Kingdom along the way. With a visceral joy on his dark face, he walked with his head held high, carrying a bow and arrows on his body. And to the astonishment of the messengers, the people rarely wore animal skins, and most of them were made of linen. This means that the civilization of the Han Kingdom is not low.

However, the costume is very different from that of the Central Plains, wearing a white hufu on the body, a shin shirt (trousers) that does not open the stall on the lower body, and a skirt worn by a man (a skirt worn by a man), and a gray and yellow strip of cloth (leggings) tied on the calves.

But what made the envoy even more curious was that from time to time he could see a scholar wearing a Central Plains robe walking by. From time to time, civilians passing by greeted him, and the scholar did not walk by with his nostrils facing the sky, but politely returned the salute. Everything seems so harmonious.

At this time, an ox cart slowly passed by the messenger, this was not the first ox cart to pass by, but the messenger still couldn't help but be curious. The envoy asked the remnant bamboo sitting upright on the side, "Doctor, there are a lot of oxen and carriages in the Han Kingdom!" ”

Although Remnant Zhu was in the Central Plains, he was not ignorant of the changes in the Han Kingdom, and smiled at the envoy: "This is nature! Although the Han Kingdom is small, it is rich in products, and the Lord likes commerce. In particular, the straw paper and brown sugar that are now prevalent in Qilu and Wu are produced in the Han Kingdom. And the merchants of Han and Vietnam bought and traded, and the tariff was only half of what was said in the past, and it was natural that there were many oxen and carriages! ”

The messenger nodded thoughtfully and said, "The old man saw that many oxen and carriages seemed to be advancing on the right, and retreating on the left. What's the truth in this? ”

This is a rule set by the Lord Himself! Because of this, the traffic in Han is smooth, and although there are many oxen and carriages, they are not crowded! Remnant Zhu said with some pride. Even in the culturally developed Central Plains, there was no such order as the Han Kingdom.

"Oh? Won't they take up the straight? The messenger pointed to the carriage coming ahead and said curiously. It is important to know that the horse-drawn cart is much faster than the ox-cart, and who wants to follow the ox-cart slowly.

"Angel (the messenger representing the Son of Heaven, not the birdman of the West.) Can you see the black line in the middle of the straight? Remnant Zhu pointed to the straight road and asked. Hearing this, the envoy nodded, looked at the remnant bamboo, and pondered what this had to do with his question.

"The black line divides the straight into left and right, and each can run two carriages in parallel, inside and outside. Slower bullock carts generally walk on the outside, while if you want to overtake each other, you can overtake them from the inside. If there is a non-compliance with the traffic rules, anyone can report it, and there will be a special official responsible for punishment, and the Chinese who report it can receive a certain monetary reward. It is said that many people did not comply at the beginning, but once the penalty is as little as 20 yuan and as much as 100 yuan. Anyone who reported it could get a third of the penalty, and those businessmen were unlucky. That's why the angels are only now seeing them so honest! Speaking of this, Remnant Zhu couldn't help laughing, he could imagine the bitter look on the faces of those businessmen who wanted money and didn't want to die.

But the messenger frowned and said, "Doesn't this offend all the merchants?" ”

Although the messenger did not like the merchant either, he also knew that the existence of the merchant had a certain role. What makes him even more strange is how there are so many businessmen according to Remnant Zhu's statement?
