Chapter 257 Fengdu·Gathering strangers from all over the world

February, the awakening of insects, the warmth of spring has arrived, and the flowers and grass are light——

After nearly two months of maintenance, the land of Fengdu is now in order. Tens of thousands of people from the Feng family have settled down and are taking advantage of the early spring to prepare for spring plowing.

And because the academy is about to open, a large number of strangers will gather in Kyushu who can escape, or from various countries to investigate intentionally. For this reason, Fengdu has to arrange an area for a temporary residence.

In order to receive these strangers.

Fengdu is very lively at this time.

And outside Fengdu——

"Wind Sage... your path is astonishing, unprecedented, and those who come after you will probably be like the endless wind..."

Qu Yuan, at this moment in the Chu State, the prince is still in charge of waiting for the king. Only after observing filial piety for three years and being recognized by several elders and ministers in power can he take over the throne.

Qu Yuan's visit to Fengdu this time was exactly what he wanted, but Gongziju had become more and more restless recently. After he left, he felt uneasy.

"It turns out that Mo Ao, Fengdu has arrived, and the hundred miles of Lanling halfway into the mountain are all Fengdu's territory."

Hearing the sound, Qu Yuan opened the bamboo curtain and looked at the mountain.

"There is yin and yang in the mountains, half of which goes to the capital of wind, but Marquis Lu showed enough dignity and the wind sage."

"But what country wouldn't want such a capital to fall within its own country?"

"If even the wind falls, a hundred miles is no small thing, hundreds of miles is no big deal, even a thousand miles is no big deal."

Thousands of miles away, Chu State is just a land of a thousand miles, but in Qu Yuan's eyes, the value of this Fengdu is no less than the fertile land of a thousand miles.

"Rumble..." The carriage passed through the mountain road and reached an open place where the wind came in. The surrounding rocks had already been removed with the joint efforts of tens of thousands of people, paved roads and built houses. Now, looking around, nothing can be moved.

The large rocks are isolated, and underneath they are all flat soil after slash-and-burn cultivation.

"That's...Xu Xing." Seeing an acquaintance, Qu Yuan stopped the carriage and got off.

"It turns out that you can just walk to Fengdu, but it only takes an hour or two."

Fengdu is surrounded by mountains, which is long from east to west, narrower from north to south, and has low but continuous mountains.

When Qu Yuan came from the Chu region, he entered from the south entrance. After climbing over the mountains, he was only ten miles away from Fengdu. For ordinary people, it only took an hour or two to travel.

Qu Yuan stepped forward. It turned out that Xu Xing had entered Fengdu early and saw that people in Fengdu were doing farm work, so he took several of his followers to join them.

In the name of asking Feng Yun for advice on farming in Andi, who would refuse to allow him to do farming?

"Yuan Qu Dazai." When Xu Xing saw Qu Yuan, he paused and saluted.

The guard on the side said: "This is Qu Yuan Mo Ao, who is also known as Zhou Li. Our country of Chu is no longer the same."

It’s different…

When he was in the Chu State, King Wei of Chu had ordered that the Chu State break away from the "Rites of Zhou" and disobey the Zhou Dynasty, so he wanted to change his state position. Naturally, the original Prime Minister Qu Yuan no longer existed.

This Mo Ao was the one who replaced Da Zai.

When Xu Xing left, he had not heard of it. Now that he heard it, he was just thinking about it, but he also understood its meaning.

"Qu Yuan and Mo Ao see you in peace."

The Xu family of Xu Xingzhi had been gifted to Feng Yun's Andi by Marquis Zeng, so Xu Xing was a native of Andi at this time.

An Di was closely involved with the Chu State, and the Chu State was also a country that respected humanity at this time, so Xu Xing would not be as hostile to the Chu people as other countries.

"I remember you, but I didn't expect you to come to Fengdu and work in Fengdu?"

Qu Yuan asked, but Xu Xing shook his head.

"Xu Xing is serving as an official in the country of Xi."

Hey... Qu Yuan came to Fengdu through the land of He.

"You are lucky enough to have become an official and be able to live next to the Wind Sage, so you can see him often."

Envy flashed in Qu Yuan's eyes.

Xu Xing smiled slightly and nodded silently.

"Then I won't delay you, sir."

"Let's go, let's go into Fengdu first, and then see if there's anything we can do to help."

Qu Yuan was not good at farming, but what he was good at was something Feng Du was afraid of and rarely needed.

"Rumble..." The carriage moved again, but Qu Yuan walked forward, watching all the way until he arrived in front of Fengdu City in the afternoon.

"It's so ancient. I'm afraid this city wall has witnessed the rise and fall of ancient times."

Looking at this ancient and tough city wall, although it is not as tall and majestic as it is today, the ancient meaning on it is not there now.

"Let's enter the city."

As he entered the city, he saw a strong man talking with Uncle Zong. There were many strong men around him, pushing carts of gravel and gravel.

"Now that so many people have come to Fengdu City, it's troublesome for Uncle Chao." Uncle Zong said to Chao Bo and behaved respectfully.

Uncle Chao waved his hand and laughed and said: "It's not troublesome. I am a mason. I just do this job. I can build houses for Fengdu and provide a place for people who come and go. I am also happy... But we have to say about the wages.

Okay, let’s bring a bunch of kids here to do hard work, so we can’t be aggrieved.”

Having said this, Uncle Zong naturally nodded and continued: "Of course I will remember it. Fengdu was newly established at this time, but there are a lot of gold, copper and jade in the ancient treasury of Dating, which have been melted into shell coins in the past two months. In addition, from Fengdu

What you have collected can now be paid with small amounts, and large amounts can be recorded in the account. When the shell coins are sufficient, you can pay them one by one."

Uncle Chao heard this and nodded, but said: "We can't wait too long, so as not to delay the circulation of money in the city. Now when foreigners come to Fengdu, they must bring shell coins with them. I'm afraid it will affect the prices in the city. Uncle Zong needs to be careful."

."

Hearing this, Uncle Zong's eyes lit up.

"Uncle Chao still knows how to do business and finance?"

"Nowadays, Fengdu is short of business people, not as good as..."

"No, I'm just a mason, and I can't do such a fine lock." Waving his hand, Uncle Chao hurriedly left with a group of young and strong men.

"Zong Bo'an." Qu Yuan stepped forward.

"Who is your Excellency?"

Zongbo grabbed Chaobo and refused to let him go, but he looked at Qu Yuan.

"Yu, Qu Yuan of the Chu State was fortunate enough to receive the teachings of the Feng Sheng. At this time, he was Mo Ao of the Chu State, equivalent to the great minister in the "Book of Rites of Zhou". He came to Fengdu to observe the opening of the Feng Temple..."

"If you can trust Uncle Zong, you can hand over this business matter to..."

"Wait a moment." Before Qu Yuan could finish speaking, he heard Guan Zhong's voice.

"I, Guan Zhong of the State of Qi, was a traveling businessman in the early days. He was given lectures by Fengzi when he was in Da Ting. Later, he gave up business and studied. At this time, he was a senior official of the State of Qi, managing business affairs in the State of Qi. I came to Fengdu this time, and I hope Uncle Zong can do it.

Let Yu be the guardian of Fengdu and protect Shang Yao in order to repay the kindness of one or two Feng Sages for giving lectures."

Guan Zhong and Zong Bo had heard about him a little bit, both when he was in the court and in Qi State at this time. Everyone knew about his reputation and his good business skills.

Uncle Zong looked at Qu Yuan and bowed apologetically.

"Mo Ao of the State of Chu rewarded administrative officials, but Feng did not serve the country, but Wang Haihan."

Qu Yuan was slightly disappointed, but he would not force it.

"In terms of business, Yuan is indeed inferior to Guan Zhong of Qi State. Zong Bo Mo Feng, this is Yuan's self-purification."

In this case, it was Guan Zhong who followed Zongbo to discuss the matter.

And Qu Yuan.

"Uncle Chao, you are going to a new residence. I hope you can take Qu Yuan and Mo Ao with you to find a place to live temporarily."

"Okay, it's a small matter." Uncle Chao was just observing Guan Zhong and Qu Yuan. Both of them are innate people, and their respective ways are profound. In the past few days, what he has seen is also rare.

, will naturally pay attention to one or two.

"Come with me... Mo Ao."

Arrogance means that people are arrogant, but they also have a state of being unwilling to do anything. However, they stick to themselves, put the country first, and do not lose their arrogance. They are very suitable for the Chu country.

Then Uncle Zong and Uncle Chao left.

At the city gate, several familiar people came.

"Father, the wind has arrived, let's find a place to stay first." A woman stood next to an old man in his prime, and on the other side, there was a simple and honest man in his prime.

"General, the woodcutter just now said that there is a new house in the east of the city. We can stay there for a while."

It turned out to be Ou Ye, Mo Nu, and Gan Jiang.

The general nodded slightly.

At this time, Feng Yun was in retreat, but he couldn't see him, so he could only rest first.

Ou Ye looked at the wind and sighed: "In the early years, Feng Sheng saved me, not only when I was in Baiyue, but also when I was in Yue Kingdom. Without Feng Sheng, I might not be able to leave Yue State."

After sighing twice, Ouye shook his head.
