As the saying goes, water is the source of life. biquge.info This sentence is particularly evident in Wuwei and even the four counties of Hexi.

Wuwei County of the Eastern Han Dynasty has a total of 13 counties, but the distribution of these 13 counties shows a trend of polarization.

Among them, the three southern counties, the county seat of Luyin County are on the edge of the Yellow River, and the two counties of Yuanwei and Zuli are located on the tributaries of the Yellow River. After passing through a large area of vast "no man's land", you will see Puqi County, which is located in the southernmost part of the north of Wuwei, and from Puqi to Wuwei, the northernmost part of Wuwei, ten counties are all within the basin of the third largest river valley in Hexi.

The density of the county seat of these ten counties is not uncommon if it is placed in the densely populated area of the Central Plains, but if it is placed in the vast and sparsely populated Xiliang, especially at the southern end of this urban agglomeration, which is a large urban blank area, it is enough to make people feel the importance of water to life.

By the way, although Wuwei County is under the jurisdiction of Wuwei County, the seat of Wuwei County is Jia Xu's hometown Guzang County, just like the capital of Jilin Province is Changchun City instead of Jilin City.

Gushui, also known as Shiyang River, is a typical river formed by iceberg snow melt and rainwater recharge.

The river is also an inland river, the rivers are all in Liangzhou, and the main river basin is in the north of Wuwei County, and its end point is located in the desert in the north of Wuwei County, that is, the fourth largest desert in modern China, Tengger Desert, in Minqin County.

In fact, to be honest, the scenery of Li Shushi's journey was not as desolate as he initially imagined, on the contrary, the vegetation coverage of the entire Hexi Corridor was quite good, and lush hills could often be seen. This is normal, considering that even the vegetation cover in the northern part of Shangjun, the most famous loess region, is acceptable, not to mention the sparsely populated and low temperature period has not yet completely affected the entire Han vegetation system.

As for the lonely scenes of the desert that Li Shushi saw, everyone should have a deep understanding of someone's ability to make up for the mind, and besides, aren't the brain replenishment abilities of otaku all the ones that break through the sky.

However, the further north you go, the more sparse the vegetation cover, and because there is no obvious runoff, it is not easy to extract groundwater in view of the fact that it takes a lot of time for Li Shushi and others to find a campsite, so it is understandable that there are few permanent residents here. And the most important thing is that the wind here is very strong, very strong, at least Li Shushi feels that there are often winds of more than level 8 here, and it is difficult for even a well-trained war horse to move forward against such a strong wind.

If it was just a strong wind, but under such a strong wind, the rocks exposed in the air can easily weather, so not only is it windy, but the "attack power" of the sand particles swept up by the wind is even more depressing.

However, there is a certain characteristic here that Li Shushi likes very much, that is, it is clear that people can feel the heat of summer during the day, but at night it can make people miss the warmth of the ondol. Yes, this is the typical climate of the northwest, dry and the temperature difference between day and night is super large, so big that Li Shushi has every reason to get into Su Xiaololi's quilt and cuddle his fragrant and warm body to sleep.

It's just that I don't know what's going on.,Li Shushi said that he can often dream that a certain Lori covered himself with a very thin but warm quilt.,It's just that sometimes the technique of covering the quilt is too bad.,I have to grab the quilt and mention it to my body.,It's just that every time this happens.,When you get up the next morning and see a certain Lori, the other party's face must be bright red as if it can drip blood.,And then the taste of your breakfast often doesn't become subtle.。

However, Xiliang is so chaotic, Li Shushi and his party are in a place where there are no residents, and there is a group of caravans around them, not to mention that they have a lot of money but also loaded with a large amount of supplies, so they have naturally become a rather conspicuous target.

You must know that although Li Shushi is the main protector of these caravans, after all, they are all merchants who always travel from south to north, and it is impossible to be so lucky to encounter such a large caravan every time, so each caravan has its own guards, or a few demobilized bodyguards who follow the caravan all year round, or a Haoqiang tribe temporarily hired from the more reliable Haoqiang. Only a handful of caravans will hire temporarily those whose origins are not very clear, but whose prices are relatively cheap, and who may hide rangers of considerable strength.

Although the risk of hiring the last type of person is the greatest, because the team this time is quite large, and at the same time, Li Shushi, a big guy whose number is far superior to all the other guards, is holding them down, so there is nothing wrong all the way.

Speaking of escorting caravans, Li Shushi's mercenary group is not unfamiliar. Because Xihe is also a mixed area of Han and Hu, and there are also blatant strengths such as the Xiongnu royal court and Xihe Karasuma, so the strictness of the bandits is not inferior to that of the northwest region, no, even exceeding. After all, when the Northwest Frontier Army was strong, the control of the border was still very effective, but the Xiongnu, Karasuma, and Qiang basically lived in Xihe County, and the Xiongnu even had a certain amount of extraterritoriality, which made it extremely difficult for local officials to deal with raiders who hid in their own tribes.

After Li Shushi's troops arrived at Xihe, in addition to the basic defense work of Xihe counties, the most they did was either busy suppressing bandits and protecting trade routes, or busy escorting caravans in Xihe. In this situation, it can be said that the area east of the Yellow River is basically under the jurisdiction of Li Shushi, the Taishou of the West River. Even so, before leaving, Li Shushi also agreed with the Karasuma people that the Xihe Taishou Mansion would be the guarantor, and build a supply and demand platform between the Karasuma people and the caravan, so that the Karasuma people could become the caravans as guards as far as Yunzhong and Yanmen, and then earn a reasonable remuneration, and the Taishou Mansion would also collect a little referral fee from it by the way.

There is a more complex formula for the cost of the guard, which is calculated based on the distance of the journey and the danger of the journey. The caravan that wants to hire a guard will pay the approximate cost to the administration of the Taishou Mansion, and then the administration will issue it a token, and after the escort is over, the guards can use this token to return and receive the reward they have won.

Although the rules are relatively rough, with Tong Yuan to operate, Li Shushi believes that time will slowly improve it. At least this has two advantages, one is because the formula is open to the public, as long as there is no emergency, basically how much money your caravan needs to go to is basically clear. As for encountering emergencies, it can only be said that it is an RP problem, after all, there is no risk in anything, especially in the business and mercenary industries, which are two high-risk but high-reward industries.

Second, because the money has already been handed over to the government and will not be returned, it is unlikely that the token will not be handed over to the guard unless the merchant and the guard fall out, so the possibility of economic disputes is much lower. As for the matter of killing people and selling goods, Li Shushi said that it is still the same sentence, everything is risky, and when there were no such guarantees in the past, groups of businessmen rushed forward one after another. Of course, if there is evidence, Li Shushi doesn't mind using the big stick in his hand to teach those guys who break the rules they have made what the spirit of contract is. At this point, the elders of Karasuma also expressed their willingness to accept.

Because although Li Shushi's personal ability is not necessarily very high, his reputation on the Karasuma side is still very good, whether it is to build a school or carry out various trades with the Karasuma people, allowing intermarriage, coupled with the combat effectiveness of the troops under his command, the Karasuma people have gradually recognized Li Shushi's rule over the West River. Therefore, Karasuma people dare to believe that Li Shushi, the Taishou, will not be greedy for their due reward, and it is good to be a person who talks more about fairness and integrity, and others are more willing to believe in you.

Li Shushi believes that as the two sides become more and more culturally and economically convergent and interdependent, within three generations, the name of Nishikawa Karasuma will no longer exist, and will be replaced by the birth of a new nation called the Chinese nation.

Of course, the above preferential regulations are only available to local residents registered in Xihe, after all, no one has denounced local protectionism these days. As for whether there is a caravan willing to eat this crab, Li Shushi said that he is also the head of the Li family in Xihe, so it is still so-easy to let his family support his policy. However, what made him sweat profusely and his face was black, not long after his move was announced, Li Kang, who had gone north to Karasuma with him, signed up to become a registered mercenary.

Well, everyone has their own ambitions, just like Hu Zhao is desperate to be an official, a guy who loves freedom by nature wants to be a mercenary, so let him go, anyway, he is a good spy who will definitely send back all the information that Li Shushi wants or doesn't want.

"In the distance, I heard the sound of a large number of horses stepping by, and it seemed that it was not good."

Rohan's slightly languid voice was always soft and comfortable as taking a hot bath, and her intelligence detection ability made all the scouts ashamed. Sometimes Li Shushi was a little skeptical that this girl had a special computer map for cheating in her head, which clearly marked a person in a ten-mile radius and their relationship with his side.

However, it seems that now is not a good time to think about these things, and we will talk about getting past this first.

"Zilong, Liangping, tell all the caravans, there are troops of unknown origin in front of them, let them form a defensive formation. If there is a guy who doesn't listen to Hu or takes the opportunity to make trouble, don't be polite to me. ”

I was still thinking about the guard just now, and this is going to be troublesome, and sure enough, there are some things that can't be talked about, so I didn't think of anything to put people in a dangerous situation just now, Li Shushi prayed secretly.

And the enemies, who were miles away, obviously did not expect that the opponent they planned to attack had already discovered them. Should I really say something? Luohe, your ability is really too gj.

P.S. It's a chapter today, and the state is not very good to say......
