Chapter 336: The Sea of Sand
The reason why Qi Yu was in a complicated mood was precisely because of the sadness of the rabbit dying and the fox, he didn't want to see this day coming, because under the monstrous flames of Qiang Qin, the Wei State was overturned, and the Qi State would not be spared!
As long as the oppression of the Tiger and Wolf Qin is still there, the fate of the six countries of Shandong is connected.
The big ditch was later called the chasm, in the late Qin Dynasty when the Chu and Han contended, it was bounded by the chasm, the Eastern Chu and the Western Han. The Chu River Han realm is derived from this.
The term chasm has a far-reaching impact, and in later generations, it will be extended to mean that there are huge differences and distances between two people in terms of ideas and values.
When crossing the river, Xiao Yuetan, a well-educated man, said leisurely:
"Dagou was the minister of state during the reign of King Hui of Wei, and Mr. Bai Gui, a famous businessman, presided over the excavation. In the early days of King Wei Hui's reign, Wei was strong and above all countries, and King Wei Hui was barely a wise monarch at that time, not as confused as he was later. At that time, Daliang, the capital of Wei, was often plagued by floods due to its proximity to the Yellow River. As the Minister of State, Mr. Bai Gyu was ordered to control the water, so he displayed his outstanding ability to control the water, dug this great river connecting the north and the south, and completely relieved the flood of Daliang!"
Han Fei nodded approvingly: "Qian...... The embankment of thousands of feet, with the ...... of ants The cave collapsed. When Mr. Bai Gui was controlling the water, he sent people to carefully inspect the embankment...... inspected and ordered all the ant nests to be blocked, so the embankment was repaired...... The construction site is solid, and the flooding has been eliminated, Mr. Baekyu sees...... Seeing the subtleties is really the cure...... The power of the world is also!"
Qi Yu bowed slightly, and he knew where the idiom of "a thousand miles of embankment, destroyed in an anthill" came from!
Bai Gui in the mouth of everyone is the object of Qi Yu's cooperation in the purchase of grain ships in the defense of the country - the ancestor of the Bai family, and also the "Shang ancestor" respected by later generations. When everyone was outside Puyang City, they also talked about Bai Gui, but at that time, everyone talked about Bai Gui's achievements in business, and the great project of this big ditch was Bai Gui's political achievements when he was the prime minister of Wei.
The Bai family in Puyang City, which defended the country, was only a side branch of the Bai family, and the main lineage of the Bai family was in Daliang City, twenty miles away.
When Qi Yu was defending the country before, he also promised the envoy of the Bai family who defended the country, and after arriving in Daliang City, he met with the head of the Bai family to discuss the business cooperation between the Qi and Bai families.
Qinqing, a famous businessman in Ba County, has always admired Bai Gui's concept of "benevolence" in business, and sighed lightly: "It's a pity that the politics of Wei became more and more corrupt later, and King Wei Hui also began to favor and reuse the clever Hui Shi, but began to alienate Bai Gui, who had practical talents. After traveling around the country, he saw the political situation of the vassal states more thoroughly, and since then he has a deep dislike for politics, so he gave up politics and business, and instead embarked on the road of business!"
Qi Yu nodded thoughtfully, Bai Gui's life experience is so similar to that of Tao Zhu Gong Fan Li back then!
Speaking of this, Qin Qing shook his head and smiled: "Bai Gui chose to abandon politics and engage in business, although the Wei State lost a virtuous minister, but let the world's businessmen have a business standard that can be pursued from now on, and there are more and more businessmen who pursue "benevolence", which is a blessing for the people of the world!"
While everyone was talking and laughing, the boat gradually sailed through the ditch, Qi Yu looked at the river outside the window, his thoughts were flying, and he was getting closer and closer to the beam, thinking that he would soon be able to reunite with Ouyang Xinyue, who had been missing for a long time, Qi Yu's heart was as urgent as fire, and he couldn't wait to fly to Daliang City immediately, looking for a beautiful woman, in order to eliminate the pain of missing!
On the other side of the ditch is a small satellite city called "Shahai", Shahai City is located in the west of Daliang City 20 miles, when arriving at the port of Shahai, the Qi family in Daliang City came to greet them, accompanied by the envoy of Qi State resident in Daliang City, the capital of Wei.
The Qi family who came to greet him was called Qi Shang, who was the shopkeeper of the Qi family's salt shop in Daliang City, and also the Qi family's clansmen in Jimo.
The envoy of the State of Qi to Wei was called Chang Rong, and he was a subordinate official under Qi Min, the Great Minister, and Chang Rong's mission in Wei was assigned by Qi Min.
Until here, there was no one on the official face of the Wei State to greet him, Qi Yu remembered the suspicion and vigilance of the border general when he entered the country, and he already felt the attitude conveyed by the King of Wei in his heart.
King Wei wants to express a tough attitude, don't you Qi country want to do any tricks with South Korea, the widow is staring at you!
"The villain has seen the young master!"
"The lower official has seen the envoy!"
After Qi Shang and Chang Rong boarded the ship, they stepped forward to salute.
Qi Shang is in his forties, slightly chubby, looks like an ordinary rich man, although Qi Shang has a respectful attitude, but he looks at Qi Yu very kindly, as if he is looking at his own children and nephews, making Qi Yu feel at home in this strange environment.
Qi Yu couldn't help but sigh in his heart about the unity within the Qi family and the unity within the Lai people.
Perhaps it is the cruel fate that makes the Lai people so closely united!
Chang Rong is in his thirties, thin, looks serious, is a cautious person, and is also very polite and respectful to Qi Yu, which is naturally partly because Qi Yu is the son of his immediate boss.
"Uncle Shang, Master Chang, you don't have to be polite. After Qi Yu returned the salute with a smile, he took the two of them to meet on the boat, and after greeting each other, he entered the topic.
"All the villains in the city have been arranged, the young master doesn't have to go ashore at this moment, just follow a river dug out of the big ditch not far ahead, and continue to drive by waterway into the water gate in the west of Daliang City. Qi Shang said.
"It's so good, it's hard Uncle Shang!" Qi Yu was overjoyed, it was already noon at this time, if you take the land route, it must have been dark when you arrive at Daliang City, but if you take the waterway and go straight into Daliang City, then you will definitely be able to reach Daliang City before dusk.
If it is not dark when you arrive at Daliang today, Qi Yu will still have enough time to visit the Bai family, and even have a night meeting with Ouyang Xinyue at night.
"In that case, let's go!"
Qi Yu thought of this, his heart was hot, and he immediately ordered to set off.
Qi Shang, who came over, seemed to see Qi Yu's thoughts, smiled, approached when no one was around, and said in a low voice: "The villain just saw the young master docked from afar, and before boarding the boat, he had already sent someone to take the first step to inform Miss Ouyang, and now it depends on when the young master arrives at the beam, when it will be convenient." ”
Qi Yu was suddenly overjoyed, hugged Qi Shang's chubby shoulder, couldn't wait to hug him and kiss him fiercely, and said gratefully:
"Uncle Shang, your old man is so understanding!"
