Chapter 301 Wu'anguo
Feng Sha and her walked side by side and said in a deep voice: "Everyone can avoid gifts, get up!"
On both sides of the road, there were a large area of worshipping people, and they were filled with darkness. He heard the sound and dared to raise his head. He watched the heroic King Wuwei and the girl wearing a veil ride on horseback, floating in the wind, as if they were like gods, and they were full of admiration and secretly envious.
Two horses ran slowly and rushed towards the city. At the city gate, the soldiers guarding the gate bowed to the ground and respectfully sent King Wuwei into the city.
Linzi City Central Avenue was paved with bluestone slabs, and horse hooves stepped on it, making a sound. On both sides of the street, countless people were kneeling down, but they were all brave enough to carefully examine King Wuwei and his bride.
Needless to say, King Wuwei is so heroic. Although the girl beside him is wearing a veil and cannot see her appearance clearly, her bright eyes are very beautiful, far better than girls of her generation. In addition, she is wearing a gorgeous silk shirt and is blown by the wind, and she is as fluttering as a fairy. She is worthy of King Wuwei.
Bead chains were hung between her neck, each pearl was as big as a fingertip and crystal clear. Under the sunlight, the chains were shining and colorful, and were obviously a treasure. With her peerless and graceful posture, it was like a fairy floating from the sky, making the onlookers stunned.
Seeing that Miss Mi’s wife married King Wuwei, she still had such beautiful clothes and jewelry. The Linzi girls kneeling on the ground and peeking at her eyes were even more angry, and she wished she could rush over and snatch it and put it on her.
Among these people, there are many merchants from the city and other places, and there are many people who know the goods. Looking at the bead chain, it is obviously not an ordinary item, but most of them have never seen such treasures. They can't help but wonder what kind of treasures it is.
Some of them, from big merchants or local tribes, have seen Li Mingzhu. When they saw the beaded chain, they couldn't help but feel shocked. They understood that the beaded chain was of high value and could buy most of Linzi City! The noble and wealthy King Wuwei is indeed well-deserved!
Some local clans also mixed with the people. However, when they saw King Wuwei, they did not dare to kneel down and bow to the people. However, they were thinking in their hearts that they must find a way to get a few glass pearls. Even if they are not as good as King Wuwei, they must let their relatives and friends know that their family wealth is rich, and even the kind of pearls worn by the Princess Wuwei can get them.
Those merchants from other places were also extremely surprised when they saw this treasure, and they were thinking about how much it could be sold for if the treasure could be obtained in their hometown.
"Scarce things are precious." All businessmen are smart people, so they naturally understand this truth. Many people have made up their minds to take advantage of the opportunity that no one in their hometown knows about them and search more in the Qingzhou area. Try to buy some such beads and go back. Maybe they can add a few times the price and sell them to the local people. Such profits will be more profitable than purely selling cloth and grain.
These people think of these thoughts, and the cheers in their mouths inevitably weakened. However, those ordinary people, with simple hearts, would never have thought that such precious treasures could fall into their hands. Taking a look at them on the roadside was already a blessing for King Wuwei, so the cheers were still so warm and sincere.
Mi Huan followed her husband, listening to the cheers from the hearts of the people, she felt shy and happy in her heart. She looked at the calm man beside her, full of admiration, and was excited and happy that she could follow him.
As we walked slowly along the way, countless people and merchants saw the beaded chain worn by Mrs. Mi next to King Wuwei. Many people looked straight and praised the world's treasures and beauty. Following the unparalleled king of Wuwei, it was indeed a natural couple. There was no such a matching heroic beauty in the world.
Feng Sha walked slowly with Mi Huan, looked at the surprised eyes and smiled calmly.
The current situation is exactly what he wants. In any case, everyone has seen Li Mingzhu's appearance. There are also a large number of vendors from other states here, and local people are talking about it, which can spread the news about Li Mingzhu all over the world.
As he expected, after he brought Mi Huan into the provincial palace, the people behind him stood up in amazement and watched his leaving figure, and then gathered together to talk about the marriage of King Wuwei and the extremely precious crystal beads worn by the new wife.
The sensational effect of this wedding was beyond all the advertising methods that could be used in this era. For a time, everyone in Linzi City was talking about this marriage and the precious Li Mingzhu. Many people present at that time were talking and talking about the preciousness of the Li Mingzhu. It was said that it was a peerless pearl, priceless, and the great man could have such treasures. It was a sign that the Han Dynasty was in full swing.
Under the secret spread of some people who are interested, this topic quickly spread. Soon, news about Li Mingzhu was heard in Qingzhou, and even the prefectures and counties near or further away.
At this moment, a news came, but a maritime merchant returned from the sea and brought some overseas specialty glass pearls. In addition to tribute the best to King Wuwei, the rest of the pearls were looking for buyers.
The news came out. A large number of merchants flocked to the residences of those maritime merchants, competing to buy Limingzhu, preparing to transport it back to their hometowns, and find ways to sell it to those aristocratic families at high prices. The residences of those maritime merchants are very popular every day, and countless merchants are in and out, trying to buy more high-quality Limingzhu back, but because there are too few goods, they often return empty-handed.
When some merchants were living in hotels, they were lamenting that there were too few Li Mingzhu, but someone would secretly follow him to show him some Li Mingzhu and ask for high prices. Although those merchants were unwilling to pay such a high price, they thought of the huge profits brought by Li Mingzhu, and did not have to pay a lot of freight like grain and cloth, so they had to buy them, dreaming of making a fortune on this. Some merchants lacked money, so they had to use grain to exchange cloth with the Qingzhou government, and exchange cloth with those mysterious private merchants for Li Mingzhu, which was not at a loss. They happily brought Li Mingzhu and a large number of guards and returned lightly.
As they thought, after taking such a rare orb into the aristocratic family, they tried their best to brag about it, and they could indeed sell it at a good price. Although they failed to make several times the profit, they made a lot more money than trafficking in grain and cloth.
Since I tasted the sweetness, more business travelers have brought food and money to Qingzhou, and they just want to buy more when Li Mingzhu can still sell it at a good price and make a lot of money.
From then on, countless money and cloth continued to flow into the hands of maritime merchants and private vendors, and then returned to the warehouse in Qingzhou.
Cheng Yu stood in the warehouse, looking at the cloth that was lost and returned to the warehouse, he was surprised and happy, and he was surprised and laughed, and the expression on his face was extremely strange.
But no matter what, there is food, cloth, and money is much more than before. In addition, the large amount of food and grass sent by the Mi family in Xuzhou, the imminent famine that swept through Qingzhou was finally over.
Since then, Cheng Yu and his colleagues have devoted themselves to internal affairs. In accordance with the orders of King Wuwei, and taking advantage of the opportunity of labor-for-relief, they have used a large amount of labor in Qingzhou to open up many commercial routes in Qingzhou, so that business travel far and near can come and go more conveniently. The construction of fishing ports, factories, and coal mines is also underway, and the entire Qingzhou has gradually been involved in a construction craze.

In the scorching sun, Wu Anguo stood at the steps of the political hall, waiting silently, feeling a little nervous, not knowing what kind of instructions would be given to King Wuwei summon him to come.
He was originally a general of Kong Rong, the former prefect of Beihai. When he was attacking Dong Zhuo at Hulao Pass, he had to go back to his hometown to recuperate. Now he has been recuperating for several months and his health has gradually improved. Although only one hand can be used, he has no major problems in other aspects and his actions are no different from ordinary people.
According to his intention, if he lacked a hand, he had become a useless person and was useless. He had no other way out except to spend the years of savings and wait for death. However, King Wuwei sent someone to summon him from the countryside of Beihai. I don’t know what the purpose was, so Wu'anguo couldn’t help but wonder.
Although it was very difficult to bear by the sun, Wu'anguo was peaceful and uneasy.
He still remembers that when he fought with Lu Bu in the battle, he lost to Lu Bu, and he cut off his hand. The general was inevitably killed and was injured and disabled in the military formation. It was also common, and he did not resent Lu Bu very much. But his skills were not as good as others, so he was inevitably a little depressed.
This King Wuwei is a hero. He killed the world's top-notch general Lu Wenhou with only one person's strength, making Wu Anguo admire and grateful. Although he did not hate Lu Bu, he felt a little comforted when King Wuwei was able to kill Lu Bu.
While thinking about the past, he waited patiently. After waiting for a long time, he finally waited until King Wuwei sent someone to call him in. Wu'anguo hurriedly ran in. Seeing King Wuwei standing proudly in the political hall, he hurriedly knelt down and bowed, and said respectfully: "The villain kowtowed the king!"
Feng Sha looked down at him and looked at him carefully. Seeing that his face was covered in sweat, he looked frightened and had no impatience, he secretly admired him.
He asked Wu Anguo to wait for so long to test his character, so as not to be a brave man and mislead his own affairs. Now it seems that this person is loyal and well-versed in military affairs. What is even more rare is that he was born a fisherman and fished on the sea with his father since he was a child. He is much more familiar with the sea than his subordinates. He is the right person to take charge of the sea boats.
He walked forward slowly, stretched out his hands, slowly helped Wu Anguo up, and said in a gentle voice: "You are here well. Now I have something to ask you to accompany me. Are you willing?"
Wu'anguo was helped up by King Wuwei's own hands, and was flattered, but his face was still trying to keep calm. He clasped his fists and said, "Thank you for your appreciation, the king has his own destiny, and all villains obey!"
Feng Sha smiled and took him out of the door, asked someone to take his mount and him, and he rode on the Wild Star, took him out of the East City Gate, and rushed towards the harbor.
Wu Anguo followed him closely, suspicious, but did not dare to ask more questions. He just followed King Wuwei, ready to listen to his orders at any time.
In the fishing port, people were surging, and it was the local fishermen and their families. However, they were stopped by the brigade of soldiers and prevented them from approaching the beach, so as not to cause chaos.
On the sea, a small black dot gradually appeared, and it was soon visible that it was the top of a mast. Immediately afterwards, several other masts also appeared above the sea level.
The people in the harbor shouted excitedly and waved desperately to the sea.
Several huge sea boats gradually appeared on the sea and rushed toward this side from a distance. The sea breeze whistled, blowing the sails on the ship, causing the sea boat to accelerate and crash into the shore.
Outside the harbor, two horses were carrying horses and knights rushed over. Under the kneeling of guards, Fengsha led Wu'anguo into the harbor and happened to see the scene of the sea boat docking.
When approaching the shore, the sea boats put away their sails and rowed with only the wooden oars stretched out from the big boat to slowly shore. On the deck, a long wooden board was stretched out and placed on the dock. A "one-eyed" captain wearing a black eye mask walked down proudly, with many sailors following behind him, all of whom were excited and waved hard to the four sides.
At this time, the entire harbor had fallen into a sea of joy. The people who came to pick up the boat were all relatives and friends of the sailors on the boat. At this time, they were looking forward to see which boat the person they were waiting for was on. Some people had found their relatives in the first batch of sailors who had disembarked, and were even more excited and shouting loudly, hoping that he could see himself.
The sailors got off the boat and searched around the crowd. After finding relatives and friends, they excitedly huddled together to talk about the gains of the trip and took out some small gifts they bought overseas to give to their relatives. When they talked about their experiences going out to sea, they were all erotic, and the knowledgeable listeners were stunned.
Feng Sha looked at the lively scene and couldn't help but smile, took Wu Anguo through the crowd and walked straight to a small house on the shore. In order to avoid trouble, he pulled down the protective armor on the iron helmet and covered his face.
Sitting in the room, he waited patiently. Soon, the captains responded to the call and entered the room. When they saw King Wuwei sitting on the upper head, they were shocked, knelt down and bowed, and saluted respectfully to King Wuwei.
Feng Sha called them up, and the captains stood up carefully. They looked up and saw a strong man standing behind King Wuwei, but he had only one left hand, standing with his hands behind King Wuwei. They couldn't help but secretly wondering, not knowing where he came from.
They looked carefully and saw that the strong man's right hand seemed to be broken with his wrist, and he was huddled in his sleeves, unable to see clearly. He was very strong, and he was full of warriors. He stood straight behind King Wuwei, as if he was a disabled soldier. He was secretly concerned, only to think that he was the confidant of King Wuwei. If he could win with him, he would have good things in the future.
Feng Sha looked back at Wu'anguo and smiled and said, "Come on, come and meet. This is Wu'anguo, who is used to water and understands military tactics. If you go to sea to do business in the future, you can let him go together. All the soldiers on the ship will be led by him. If there is anything that cannot be decided, he can decide."
Everyone was shocked when they heard the sound. The implication of King Wuwei was that this cut-off man led the ships, and in the future, he would go to sea to listen to Wu'an Kingdom's major events. Such honors and favors were indeed the people trusted by King Wuwei.
Wu Anguo was even more shocked when he heard this. He immediately bowed to the ground, tears of gratitude rolled down, and he cried in tears, but just choked and said, "Anguo is willing to be loyal to the king in this life, and he will die!"
Feng Sha sighed and helped him up and comforted him with kind words. The captains also came up to congratulate Wu Anguo on their way, and they agreed with each other, and their words were very harmonious.
Feng Sha asked the captains about their experiences going out to sea again. The captains stood with their hands down and respectfully told them about their experiences on this trip.
After they went out to sea, they first drove to Yantai Port in Donglai, took the gold sand dug out by the Yellow Turban prisoners who had mined there, and then drove towards Liaodong.
After arriving in Liaodong, they sold the goods they brought and continued to drive eastward according to the orders brought by the unscrupulous intelligent brain flying pigeon. They arrived at Sanhan, sold some cloth, and bought some grain and local local products.
One of the captains was very talkative and described the people's sentiments in Sanhan area in detail, and smiled and said, "Those places are full of savages, and many people can't even wear clothes. We brought some cloth, which made them look straight. If we hadn't brought a lot of soldiers, they might have come to rob them! We only sold a little cloth and changed a lot of local products. Unfortunately, there was not much grain in those places, and there was not much surplus grain to sell to us."
Feng Sha asked them when they left Sanhan and pondered: "Since you left Sanhan, why have you been delayed on the road for so long and are only back now?"
The captain looked shocked and replied, "Master, have you sent someone to pass on the message and asked us to go east to Japan again?"
Feng Sha frowned, and he didn't have to think about who was falsely passing on his orders. If someone dared to do this, it would be a death sentence. However, the unscrupulous and intelligent brain always had ideas in his actions. Although he liked to make trouble, he would not be too out of line. He would definitely make sense for him to do this.
Thinking about the fact that I would lead my army to expand my territory in the future, it would be no harm to know more about the neighboring Japanese countries, so I said calmly: "Let's talk about it, what's going on after you leave South Korea?"
The captain looked happy again and said respectfully: "Report to the king, the young men took the ship away from South Korea and drove eastward. Follow the chart given by the king, and walked in the direction pointed by the compass. Sure enough, they arrived in Japan!"
Speaking of this, he looked contemptuous and said, "The people on that island are all shorts, thin and small. My sailors can beat them several of them! But we are the country of the Heavenly Kingdom and cannot ruin their reputation. So we took some of their local products casually and knocked down the dwarfs who cried and even the sky. Without taking all their belongings, we went to their big cities. Ha, a big city is not even as good as a small village here. That is, the short boss there still has some money. After buying some of our things, we didn't exchange them with us, so we gave a lot of local products and replaced them with some cloth and glass pearls. We walked around the island, found a few short bosses, and got a lot of local products. Just as we were about to go deep into the island, we suddenly encountered something very strange."
Feng Sha's eyes flashed and he asked calmly: "What's the matter?"
When the captains heard this, their faces showed fear and looked at each other.
The captain who was still talking opened his mouth and said tremblingly: "On the island, a fog floated in white. It can move forward a mile every day, from east to west, and all the way to us. The strangest thing is that the fog is fixed and cannot be blown away by any wind. The place covered by the fog immediately becomes white and cannot see anything."
Feng Sha's eyes became solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Have you sent someone to check it out?"
The captain nodded quickly and said, "I sent someone! But I was worried that there would be any problems, so I sent some local dwarfs to see them first. The dwarfs were greedy for the cloth we brought and rushed to the fog. But from then on, there was no news and no one who went there came back!"
Feng Sha said calmly: "Can you escape?"
The captain shook his head and said, "No, no, those shorts all live in the west, close to the west coast, and there are old and young people at home. They run away. What should the family do? Besides, even if they escape, no one will escape, and none of them will come back!"
Feng Sha pondered slightly and said slowly: "How did you do it?"
The captain looked ashamed and lowered his head and said, "Please forgive me for being timid. I am afraid that the strange fog will hurt my big sailor, so I called a few captains, discussed it, and found a way to collect more local specialties in the local area, so I left Japan so that the fog would not be left in it and would never come back."
Feng Sha nodded and said, "You did it right. You don't know what that fog is, of course you shouldn't take any risk. Can that fog cross the sea?"
The captains shook their heads together and said repeatedly: "No, we circled around the Japanese island for dozens of nautical miles, and saw that some places on it were completely covered by white fog, close to the sea, but they would not float towards the sea. We felt that the fog was afraid of water, and would not pass through the sea and come to my great man."
Feng Sha nodded without saying a word, sat on the chair, dazed intently. The captains stood in front of him, and saw that he was thinking about things, but they did not dare to make a sound, so as not to disturb the king.
After pondering for a while, he raised his head and said calmly: "Then are you back?"
When the captains saw that he didn't blame him for being timid, they were a little happy and relieved. They said in a verbal manner: "We also carried some cargo on the boat, so we drove to the Goryeo area, and changed to some local local products and filled the boat before we came back."
Feng Sha heard them say "local local products", and couldn't help but pay attention and asked, "What exactly are the local products you are talking about?"
The captains all looked shocked and said in surprise: "Why did the king forget that the name of "local products" was what the king asked us to say in his letter, so as not to speak indecently."
Feng Sha was stunned. He didn't know what the unscrupulous intelligent brain meant to be so artificial. He couldn't help but feel curious, and said in a deep voice: "Your ship should be full of these local products, right? Take me to see!"
The captains did not dare to neglect and hurriedly took him out of the house and walked towards the dock.
Not far away, bypassing the shelter of the house, the scenes on the wide pier are all in front of you.
Chapter completed!
