Chapter 122: The land of the Southern Barbarians is so secluded
"There are steep mountains, high mountains and dangerous roads, and ordinary people can't go there! The army of Chu could not go. It's best to live in seclusion there. Peng Zhou said.
"Cut! You think I don't know? Xinling Jun Wei Wuji retorted: "The army of the Chu State can't get there. But! It is said that there are local tyrants, natives, and tribes, and they occupy it and don't let anyone in. No! They won't let you pass by them. Where are you going? People won't let you live, there are land tyrants, natives, and tribes everywhere! β
Seeing that Peng Zhou couldn't answer, Wei Wuji looked very proud.
King Wei saw that Wei Wuji, the king of Xinling, gave himself a long face, and his face was full of smiles, and he looked at Peng Zhou and Peng Yu brothers.
"That's not quite what you said, right?" Peng Zhou shook his head and said. "I heard from Zhuangzi that many people have gone over there to live in seclusion. And quite a few people! They all came back and took their families, and they lived well there! β
"How do you know they're doing well?"
"I also listened to Zhuangzi and what they said! It is because they are living so well that many people have passed and then come back to take their families with them. Take one with you, and you will bring with you many. β
"That's before, right?" Xin Lingjun asked with a skeptical expression.
"Before?" Peng Zhou denied: "Zhuangzi they say! People go every year! How was it before? β
Wei Wuji ignored Peng Zhou and said alone: "In the past! The civil and military officials of the Zhou Dynasty, seeing that the Zhou Dynasty had no hope, took their families to the southwest of the Chu State, which is what you call the land of the Southern Barbarians. Outcome! A lot of people died on the road. Afterward! No one dared to go anymore. β
"There is a situation you said!" Peng Zhou nodded and said, "I also heard from Zhuangzi and them, there is such a situation!" And! Often! β
"And what are you going to do?" King Wei interjected: "You are living in seclusion in our Wei Kingdom!" Our Wei country is so big, there are still places to live in seclusion, right? β
"Back to King Wei! Thank you King Wei! Xinlingjun said that what he said is only a few, individual cases! I heard Zhuangzi say! Let's just talk about these civil and military officials of the Zhou Dynasty! Mostly civil officials! Not a military attachΓ©! They're nerds! With no social experience, after going to the land of the Southern Barbarians, he was useless, and as a result, he had money again, and his money was exposed. When they were discovered by the greedy people on the Nanban side, they killed them. This case! It doesn't just happen in Nanban, but it also happens in Zhoudi from time to time? Isn't it? β
Wealth is not exposed! As a result, the money was discovered, and it was killed by greedy people.
Peng Yu sat on the side and didn't speak, looking at Peng Zhou and Wei Wuji, listening to the two arguing. Seeing that Peng Zhou was very able to speak, he was not afraid of Wei Wuji at all, he was not afraid of King Wei at all, and the newborn calf was not afraid of tigers, his heart was very happy.
Seeing that Peng Zhou always said "Zhuangzi, Zhuangzi", he was also very interested in Zhuangzi. Unfortunately! He and Zhuangzi only met briefly and never saw each other again.
Not that time? Seen it once in Downriver? Later, Zhuangzi and Song Rongzi left, and Daizi took him and Peng Zhou away.
"Anyway, it's very chaotic over there, and it's backward! Nothing! I'm not going to go there to live in seclusion! It is not convenient to live there in seclusion! Xinling Jun Wei Wuji couldn't say anything about Peng Zhou, so he had to say so.
Peng Zhou said: "I heard Zhuangzi say that it is precisely because of the backwardness over there that we are more suitable to go there to live in seclusion. As long as you respect the customs of the natives and tribes there, and be friends with them, they are still welcome! β
"Are they still welcome? How is that possible? β
"How could it be?"
"You go to grab other people's territory, and people are still welcome?"
"What is it called land grabbing? Place is so big! What do you want so much land for? If we go to seclusion, a few acres of land for each person is enough, how much land can we occupy them? And they! What do you want so much land for? Aren't they all sitting there? β
"You?"
"Think about it? If there was no war? How much land do you have in Wei? How many people can be fed? Isn't it? But! You kings and nobles! But they occupy the land and do not give it to others to cultivate freely? Isn't it? You have to be taxed when someone else farms, and! The taxes are very heavy, and others can't afford them, so it's better not to farm! Outcome! You have so much land and it is idle and wasted! Isn't it? β
"This?"
Seeing that Peng Zhou accused the king and nobles, it seemed that he was accusing the king of Wei and Wei Wuji? Peng Yu's face suddenly changed, and he became anxious, for fear that Peng Zhou would anger King Wei and Wei Wuji.
Until now, they haven't seen their mother!
If this offends the King of Wei or the King of Xinling, Wei Wuji, this time the relatives will be considered a visit! Not to mention saving my mother, it's hard to say whether I can go or not.
"On the Nanban side, the mountains are steep and sparsely populated! There is a lot of arable land. However, because the water conservancy is not done well, when the flash flood occurs, all the crops will be washed away. Most of the people on the Nanban side make a living from hunting. The land that could be cultivated and the places where many people could live were all occupied by the Chu State or the local tribes. So! In the mountains, there is a lot of land that can be cultivated. The premise is! We must first do a good job in water conservancy. Listening to Zhuangzi, it is very simple to engage in water conservancy construction! Just dig a diversion ditch on the perimeter to divert the flood water. β
"It's as simple as that?"
"It's that simple!"
"Humph!" Xinling Jun Wei Wuji sneered.
"Before we plan to go to Nanban to live in seclusion, we have to make some preparations! I listen to Zhuangzi and they say! First! Send a few people to explore the path first, and choose a place where you are ready to live in seclusion. Second! Establish good relations with local tribes and indigenous peoples. Third! Bring seeds and necessities with you. Finally, it is necessary to bring the modern technology of the Zhou Dynasty to the past, so that it can better have a good relationship with the natives. β
"Bring a few more beauties over and marry the natives!" Wei Wuji sneered.
"Yes!" Peng Zhou said with a smile: "Marrying with the locals can just solve the problem of marriage between close relatives?" β
"Then you will marry a few tanned indigenous women!" Wei Wuji sneered again.
"That's normal, huh?" Peng Zhou said with a serious face.
"You?" Wei Wuji looked angry.
"Hahaha! Good! When King Wei heard this, he burst out laughing. Such a nice place! Peng Zhou! If you find it! The widow also goes there to live in seclusion! Hahaha! Isolated! Enjoy life! What a wonderful thing that is! β
"Brother Wang! You? Wei Wuji was so angry that he couldn't help him when he saw that King Wei didn't help him.
"Shinling-kun! You! King Wei's expression changed, he restrained the joy just now, looked at Wei Wuji very seriously, and said, "You? You're out of shape! Brother Wang knows your kindness! You don't want Peng Yu and Peng Zhou's family to go to Nanban to live in seclusion, that's why you show such emotions! Understandable! Understandable! β
"Brother Xie, Wang!" Only then did Wei Wuji realize that he was indeed out of shape!
