Chapter 60: Ten thousand
It was not until dusk that he returned to the city.
After packing up your things, go back the way you came.
After chatting for an afternoon, Chen Ze's harvest can be described as quite rich.
Lu Zhiping provided himself with a lot of information, which also gave Chen Ze a deeper understanding of the entire national situation of Dachu in the true sense.
The Great Chu Emperor wanted to take power not only from the King of Zhennan, but also from the Duke of Dingguo and the Duke of Huguo.
Among the people who followed the emperor to lay down the Great Chu Jiangshan, the king of Zhennan made the greatest contribution, followed by Wu Changsheng, the prince of Dingguo, and Yuhai, the prince of the protectorate, all three of them have their own territory and military power, the fief of the prince of Dingguo is the three states of western Xinjiang, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and the prince of the protector is in the six states of the East China Sea, near the sea.
There is no doubt that whether it is the eight southern states, the western Xinjiang or the East China Sea, it is not a rich place, and they just want these people to help Da Chu defend the country.
However, the first emperor did not calculate his untimely death, let alone that the new emperor was a big fool.
Tianhu's cards are played in a mess.
Of course, Chen Ze never forgot to ask Lu Zhiping if he had seen a foreigner, or someone else had seen it.
Lu Zhiping has never heard of it, even Haikou is a Great Chu person.
Chen Ze originally thought that Haikou might be a widow.
Yes...... It's a bit insulting to say that.
In short, Chen Ze can't figure out the geographical environment now, especially when Lu Zhiping said that both the north and the west are prairies, which directly confuses Chen Ze, who doesn't have much geographical knowledge.
However, there is no world map in these years, not even the territory map of Dachu.
Forget it, I don't want to have these things now.
There is another relatively important piece of information in this.
Jiangzhou!
Jiangzhou is the granary of Dachu, and even most of the grain in the eight southern states is transported from Jiangzhou to Luzhou by water.
The grain grown in the eight southern states is not enough to eat.
If you want to try to accept the hundreds of thousands of victims, you must need to transport grain from Jiangzhou.
There are granaries in the state cities, counties and cities, but there are basically not many reserves.
How many years has the Great Sui only died!
When the war was fought, it was already over.
Thinking of this, Chen Ze couldn't help but sigh.
"Brother Chen, what's the matter?"
"When I heard Brother Lu talk about Jiangzhou, didn't you think of the disaster victims in Lanzhou?" Chen Ze said helplessly: "It's also pitiful!" I don't know how many people had to die. ”
Lu Zhiping said when he heard it: "Then what can be done?" As far as the virtue of the yamen and the imperial court is concerned, they must only wait for death. ”
"What will they do besides sucking the blood of ordinary people?" Lu Zhiping was still a little excited: "If it is for me, I will definitely let people go to Fengzhou." ”
Chen Ze and Qin Boyang couldn't help but be stunned.
"To Toyosu? What do you want to do in Toyosu? ”
"There are gophers all over the mountains, and if you eat less, you won't be able to kill people."
Qin Boyang couldn't cry or laugh: "Those are all disaster victims, they must eat hard, and they can't pull it out if they eat too much, and it won't be a dead end when the time comes." ”
"What are you talking about?"
Qin Boyang explained: "It tastes worse than taro, and there are roots and whiskers behind the buttocks, like mice, so it is called a ground mouse, Fengzhou is indeed all over the mountains, no one eats it at all, it is astringent, and if you eat too much, you can't pull it out, and your stomach will hurt, there was a famine in Fengzhou before, so I ate this gopher, and I really can't finish eating, and I pull out a few, and it's big, and indeed many people survive by eating gobait, but there are also a lot of deaths." ”
"I ate this thing when I was a child, when my father and mother had no food to eat...... Qin Boyang shook his head with a wry smile: "Don't mention it, my stomach hurts, I'm not hungry, it's just uncomfortable, I can't sleep if I want to." ”
When Chen Ze heard this, he hurriedly asked, "Didn't you handle it well?" ”
Qin Boyang shook his head and said: "The people of Fengzhou have tried all kinds of frying and cooking, and that thing is not delicious!" Usually it is used to feed livestock. ”
"Are the animals okay after eating?"
"If you feed it mixed, it's generally fine if you don't feed it too much."
"Did you mix it up with anything else?"
"It's not clear."
When Chen Ze heard that this ground rat should be a potato plant, it means that it has starch.
As if it is poisonous, there is some kind of defense mechanism of the plant.
Chen Ze's knowledge reserve can only be analyzed to this point.
"Are there any gophers in Qingzhou?"
"It's only found near Toyosu."
It seems that I have to find a time to go to Toyosu.
There should be a way to neutralize and crack.
Chen Ze himself must not have the ability to study it, so he still has to rely on the wisdom of the people.
Chen Ze has thought about the plan, and he is waiting for the tiger talisman to arrive.
When he returned to Qingzhou, Chen Ze had already ordered three tables of wine and food in the Welcome Building and sent them to Qin's house.
Since you want to cultivate feelings, you must see each other more often and eat together.
One table in the back room and two tables outside.
The spies who went out with them also had to take care of them.
There are not so many tables, chairs and benches, all of which were moved from Huangcaotang.
When he arrived at the door of Qin's house, he let Lu Zhiping and others go home after dinner.
It's hard to be warm, and after getting along this afternoon, Lu Zhiping doesn't hate Chen Ze anyway.
Although he is the son of a large family, he is indeed extraordinary.
Not only did he speak politely to him, but even his own servants, Chen Ze would personally send food over.
Lu Zhiping saw it with his own eyes and believed that Master Lu should really like this posterity.
Which child of a big family can be so polite to his servants, even if he is a kind-hearted forester, he may not be able to put down his body.
Even the guests did not forget to take care of their own servants, and directly set up three tables in the Qin family!
After living for so long, I have seen Chen Ze this one.
Chen Ze beckoned everyone to sit down, but no one moved the chopsticks, laughed, and hurriedly waved his hand to greet: "Move the chopsticks and move the chopsticks, you're welcome, be your own family, Qin Jinke, Erya, whatever you want to eat, clip it yourself." ”
Qin Jinke sighed, thinking about this, isn't this my home?
Everyone laughed, and then they started to move their chopsticks.
Chen Ze got up again and shouted outside: "I won't greet anyone outside the house, you can do it yourself!" ”
"Okay!"
It was quite lively for a while, but while eating, Chen Ze found that this big girl had her head down the whole time she was eating.
Of course, sheer embarrassment.
Normal.
Chen Ze followed Qin Boyang and Lu Zhiping to stagger, and he was very happy.
Lu Zhiping is a serious talent, and his business sense is so keen, and the relationship must be good.
Especially Chen Ze needs to get out of alcohol, and Lu Zhiping can also help.
Just as he was eating, Zhao Ziyun had already come to the Qin family, and when he entered the house, he hurriedly came to Chen Ze and whispered in his ear: "Young master, report urgently." ”
Chen Ze smiled at everyone quietly, let everyone eat first, and followed Zhao Ziyun to the backyard.
"What's the matter?"
"Commander Cao has arrived at the Qingzhou Department with 10,000 soldiers and horses, and asked the prince to quickly get the tiger talisman."
"Ten thousand!?" Chen Ze looked surprised: "Isn't it five thousand?" And so fast!? ”
"In the direction of Lanzhou, the White Lotus Sect has appeared!"
