Chapter 699: Skinny Horse

I took Yu Gong over and flipped through a few times, and King Zhou Mu found hidden clues in Jiuding, but I looked at the map of Yu Gong Kyushu, which was recorded in the geography of mountains and rivers. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"The clues are hidden with flowers, birds, fish and insects, that is, the animals and plants on the map may be the place where the clues are hidden, but there are countless flowers, birds, fish and insects on the map of Yugong Kyushu, and ordinary people will not pay attention to it at all, the clues are engraved in one of the nine tripods, indicating that it is also in these nine maps, and it is imperative to determine which state it is." I said thoughtfully.

"The Kyushu in Yugong is Ji, Yan, Qing, Xu, Yang, Jing, Yu, Liang and Yong. At that time, the upper reaches of the Yellow River were roughly the same as today, and to be precise, the map of Yugong Kyushu was not much different from the current map. Ye Zhiqiu said.

"We have a problem with our direction, and instead of thinking about how to find the map where the clues are, we should look for the one that has deviations and errors in the map." Ye Jiuqing said.

"Uncle Ye, why are you looking for the wrong place in the Kyushu map?" Xue Xinrou asked.

"You think, to hide the clues in the map, it will inevitably lead to deviations in the map, Zhiqiu said that the Yugong Kyushu map and the current map are not much different, if you compare the current map, see if there are mistakes on the Kyushu map."

Fu Jinfeng pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and said with a very rigorous expression, Yu Gong is the oldest and most systematic geographical concept of the ancient literature, the reason why it is called Yu Gong, is because this geographical masterpiece, is based on the geography accumulated in the process of Yu water control, and at the same time interspersed with the description of the mountains, rivers, terrain, soil, and products related to water control, so it is attributed to the contribution of Yu, so it is called Yu Gong.

"The genre of Yu Gong belongs to the gazetteer, is the most comprehensive and detailed geographical record of the pre-Qin, since Yu ruled the water, so far more than 4,000 years, there are no hundreds of geographical books, there is no one who crosses the scope of Yu Gong." Fu Jinfeng pointed to the book in my hand and said. "There are countless people who study this book, but the reason why it can be praised as a classic is because the ancients at that time were able to write such a correct and rich geographical chronicle, I also have an understanding of Yugong when I study history, although I am not proficient, but at least I am sure that there are no major mistakes, if I have to say that there are deviations, it is only some geographical differences, but under the conditions of the time, it is inconceivable to draw these maps."

I hadn't heard the voice of the palace lord for a long time, and when I turned my head, I saw her meditating without saying a word.

"What are you thinking?" I asked.

"For thousands of years, no one has deciphered the secrets hidden in the map of Yugong Kyushu, and if we focus on the map, it will be impossible to see the clues for a while." The palace lord raised his head and said with a cold face. "The Seventh Master should have wanted to pass on some news before he died, indicating that the Seventh Master discovered the secret from the Yugong Kyushu map."

"But Uncle Seven didn't blink a blind eye until the end, and he didn't have the strength to say a word." Ye Jiuqing said with a sigh. "I and Regret Yuan also guessed that Uncle Seven had something to gain, after Uncle Seven's funeral, we searched carefully in the house, and we didn't find a single word or any clues left by Uncle Seven."

"The point is that before the seventh master died, if he wanted to tell the secret, why didn't he ignore you and look out the window instead?" Gong Jue said after thinking for a moment. "The seventh master was speechless at the time, what did he want you to understand, the key is what is outside the window?"

"I and Regret Yuan also thought about this, Uncle Seven's house is on the White Deer Plain, looking out of the window is an endless wheat field, I have been there many times, and even lying in Uncle Seven's position at that time, there is nothing but the wheat field." Ye Jiuqing said.

"When the seventh brother walked, he looked out the window......" Fu Jinfeng asked thoughtfully. What else can you see outside the window besides the wheat field? ”

Ye Jiuqing replied without thinking about it: "There is really nothing, it was the time of the wheat harvest, and when I looked out, I saw the heavy wheat waves undulating in the wind, I thought about it for a long time, and I really couldn't think of what Uncle Seven was going to tell us." ”

"Wheat field, since the seventh master found the clue on the map of Yugong Kyushu, could it be that he wanted to say a place name, but he didn't have the strength to speak at that time, so he looked at the wheat field outside the window." Xue Xinrou's eyes lit up and said. "You say, does the Seventh Master want to say a place name, and this place name is related to Mai."

"No, it won't." Fu Jinfeng was cutting nails and cutting iron next to him.

"Old Fu, why are you so sure?" Ye Zhiqiu asked.

"Yu Gong's book is more than 1,000 words, after Brother Qi told me the truth about Kyushu Ding, I have also been studying this book, there is no wheat in this more than 1,000 words, and in those ten maps, there is no place related to wheat in all the place names."

"There is no place related to wheat, then, is there a place related to the field, wheat field, maybe the seventh master wants to talk about the field?" Tian Ji said.

Fu Jinfeng still shook his head with certainty, and there were no place names related to Tian in Yugongli.

"Xinrou's idea is not unreasonable, the seventh master has been looking at Yugong at that time, no matter where the clues are hidden, the most direct way is to say the name of the place where the clues are located." Ye Zhiqiu turned his head to look at Ye Jiuqing. "Dad, can you recall it again, in addition to the wheat field outside the window, what else did you see when you sent the seventh master away?"

"Hey, I can still forget such an important matter, there is really only the wheat field on the hill......" Ye Jiuqing paused, scratching the thinning hair on the top of his head. Oh, and there's an old horse outside the window that he used to carry wheat. ”

"Maybe the Seventh Master is looking at that horse?" Ye Zhiqiu said.

We all looked at Fu Jinfeng, he looked down and shook his head, there is no place name related to horses in the map of Yugong Kyushu.

"It's not a wheat field or an old horse, there's nothing else, what does the seventh master want to say?" The field chicken is at a loss.

"What color is the horse outside the window?" I asked casually.

"Brown, when I went there, it happened to be a wheat harvest, and every family had a horse used to support wheat, but the seventh uncle's horse, it should be that he knew that time was running out, and he had been concentrating on studying Yugong, and he didn't feed the horses on time, I remember that the old horse was hungry and skinny."

"Old brown horse...... "I rubbed my forehead, trying to find some connection.

"Don't think about it, such a horse is really so important, the seventh master will not starve the horse to the bones, a thin horse can't say anything, although I haven't seen Yugong, but I believe there should be no place names related to thin horses." Ye Zhiqiu said.

"Wait!" Fu Jinfeng was suddenly taken aback, and hurriedly turned to look at Ye Jiuqing. "Are you sure that before the seventh brother left, he was looking at a field of horses outside the window?"

"yes." Ye Jiuqing nodded.

"What does that horse look like?"

"What else can a horse look like, it's not all the same, it's a skinny old horse."

Fu Jinfeng was stunned without saying a word, and after a long time, he suddenly took Yu Gong from my hand and flipped to one of the maps.

"The first thing that Seventh Brother wants to pass on is indeed the name of the place, and it is very likely that he wants you to know that the clue is related to this map."

We hurriedly gathered around, and Yu Gong's illustration was one of the ten maps, and the words next to it indicated the location of the map.

Yangzhou Mountains and Rivers Appreciation.

"Yangzhou? How could it be Yangzhou? "It's not about Xue Xinrou, we are also confused.

"Skinny horse!" Ye Jiuqing slapped heavily on the door of his head and sighed. "Why didn't I think of this after racking our brains with Cheng Yuan, Uncle Seven wanted to tell us about the thin horse."

"Skinny Horse is also a place name?" Tian Ji looked puzzled.

"It's Yangzhou Skinny Horse, and Uncle Seventh wants us to look at Skinny Horse and think of Yangzhou." Ye Jiuqing replied.

"What, what is Yangzhou Skinny Horse?" I still haven't figured it out, and I should know what Ye Jiuqing knows, but I've never heard of any Yangzhou thin horses.

"Yangzhou was the settlement of the two Huai salt merchants in ancient times, and the salt merchants were rich in the past, and the luxury of life was comparable to that of the royal family, and their wealth also fed a large number of industries that survived on their side, and raising thin horses was one of them." Ye Jiuqing explained.

"Skinny horses? What kind of industry is this, and who will buy skinny horses? Tian Ji's voice was dazed.

"Skinny horses don't mean real horses, but women." Ye Jiuqing said.

"Woman? What does this have to do with raising skinny horses? Tian Ji was stunned and asked.

Ye Jiuqing told us unhurriedly that he would first fund the good-looking girls in the poor families to buy them back and then study them, teach them singing and dancing, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and sell them to the rich as concubines or enter the Qin Mansion Chu Pavilion when they grow up, so as to make a profit from it. Because the poor girls are so thin, the name of the thin horse comes from this.

When the virgin is first bought only a dozen money, when it is married, it can earn up to 1,500 taels, the general people see that it is profitable, compete to imitate, it is the atmosphere, Yangzhou salt merchants in the Ming Dynasty monopolize the salt transportation industry of the whole country, the waist is wrapped in ten thousand, rich in the world, so at that time in the whole country, Yangzhou raised thin horses the most prosperous, so the mention of thin horses will be associated with Yangzhou.

"Yangzhou is one of the ancient Kyushu, equivalent to the south of the Huai River and the Yangtze River basin, and the current Yangzhou existed before Yugong was written, and it was called Han before the Qin Dynasty, and it was the feudal state of the youngest son of King Wu of Zhou, the founding king of the Zhou Dynasty." Fu Jinfeng pointed to the mountains and rivers of Yangzhou and said to us. "The map of Yangzhou in Yugong is drawn with Han as the center, but there is a little intriguing in this."

"Old Fu, what's intriguing." Ye Zhiqiu asked.

"The map of Yugong Kyushu was not drawn by the author, but copied the landform of Kyushu on the Kyushu Ding, so the age of these maps was drawn back to the Xia Dynasty, and at that time, the Han Kingdom had not yet appeared, that is, the current Yangzhou City did not exist at all, but you look at the Yangzhou mountain map, the center of this state happened to be in the Han Kingdom." Fu Jinfeng said thoughtfully. "I speculate that this place must be very important when Dayu casts Kyushu Ding, so it will be out of the center of Guyangzhou."
