Chapter 56: How Big is the Great Jin
After knowing the identity of the princess, I was not surprised or worried, and I was not surprised by the favor or humiliation.
He looks like a frail scholar with a dignified appearance, but he has no knowledge or talent whatsoever.
Why does Zhongda trust him so much?
Zhong Da trusted this person with the future of the princess, and had no intention of letting Wei Yuanting interfere.
Wei Yuanting was indeed at ease.
"Today there is a huge battle in the army. I'm afraid that someone might come to inquire, so Eunuch Zhong should leave early." After Wei Yuanting finished speaking, he turned to Yun Huachun, "The villagers in your village should not have come to serve in the army.
I will also let you leave together."
Yun Huachun breathed a sigh of relief and immediately saluted again.
"Thank you so much, General, for your great kindness! The common people will never forget it!"
"The roll of sheepskin you brought will be of great use in the army. It is the general who should thank you. The general can give you a reward. You may wish to think about what you want."
Yun Huachun could be calm before, but now he is really surprised!
How can I still catch up with the reward!
He doesn't want money. Taking money on the road will attract people's attention. If he has his own space, everything will be enough.
Although he wanted to protect his wife and daughter, he was unwilling to directly ask for an official position. If he wanted to become an official, he would definitely take the exam based on his own ability.
Or just be honest and want something real.
"Then please ask the general to prepare some food for us. We are almost out of food in the car and it is difficult to buy food on the road." Yun Huachun said.
Going all the way south, it looks like there will be no shortage of water, but food is still a big problem.
"The food and fodder have been prepared. This is not a reward. You can mention something else." Wei Yuanting looked surprised and said patiently.
Food and grass are nothing more than a trivial matter to him. If this person wants to take Eunuch Zhong and the princess on the road, he will definitely be well prepared.
"Then let the grass-roots people think about it?"
Yun Huachun raised his head and said, ready to fool him casually.
He did not intend to have a deep relationship with any big shot. When his eyes suddenly touched a map behind the camp, Yun Huachun suddenly had an inspiration.
"I see there is a map behind the general. Can the general tell me about the territory of the Jin Dynasty? I have lived in the border areas since I was a child. Although I know that the territory of the Jin Dynasty is vast, I have never been to other places. I feel uneasy walking along the way.
"The road ahead is quite unclear." Yun Huachun asked sincerely.
When his daughter told him that barbarians were attacking the south, he wanted to find a safe place to hide.
But when he saw that the map was completely different from the one in his world, he felt unsure.
As soon as he finished speaking, the tent became quiet.
Wei Yuanting stared at Yun Huachun, looking at him not knowing whether he really didn't understand or pretended not to understand.
The map is a military secret, and anyone who dares to pry into it will be punished by death.
Thinking that Yun Huachun and his group had escaped from the borderland and really didn't know where they were going, he told him some news that businessmen traveling from north to south could know, which was not a violation of his promise.
Wei Yuanting held up a lamp and walked to the map to illuminate the surrounding area. He pointed to a point on the upper left and said, "This is Yongxing Pass."
Yun Huachun nodded, Yongxing Guan was at the very edge of the map, but the map was not like the land he originally lived in. It was shaped like a rooster, but as long and flat as a potato.
Wei Yuanting pointed to the one-fifth of the boundary below Yongxing Pass, "The area below Yongxing Pass is surrounded by snow-capped mountains. The top of the mountain is covered with snow all year round. No one can get out of this snow-capped mountain. It is a natural chasm in the Jin Dynasty."
, this is where we are..."
Yun Huachun looked at the map and compared it with his own rooster map.
His company conducts publicly funded tours every year, and he has been to all parts of the country.
This snow mountain is similar to the snow mountain in his hometown of Tibet. The place where they are standing now is similar to the Gansu area, so they will encounter sandstorms.
Yongxingguan is like that in northern Xinjiang, but the climate conditions in Shigang Village are much better than those in northern Xinjiang he has been to. It is not an oasis in the desert, but feels a bit like the arid areas in the south.
"Jiangnan is here, this is the capital..." Wei Yuanting pointed to a few more places.
Yun Huachun suddenly discovered that Dajin seemed to be much bigger than a rooster. They hurried day and night from Yongxing Pass to here, but they had not even reached one-tenth of the way, but the capital was halfway up the center of Dajin.
"Thousands of miles to the north of the capital, there are also extremely high snow-capped mountains. It's cool in the summer, but it starts to snow in autumn, and all the ponds thousands of feet high will be frozen."
"Although it is warmer down south, in this southern barbarian land at the bottom, the trees are towering, flowers bloom all year round, and rice can be grown at any time. It is said that there is a giant python with a thick trunk in the forest, and fish and flowers can eat people, so there are many dangers.
"Wei Yuanting's tone became serious.
"There are rumors that someone walked out of this forest, saying that there is an endless sea outside this forest, but we don't know whether it is true or not. If you want to go to the south, don't be tricked into going to this warm place."
"The southernmost counties report a lot of missing people every year. Later, the court found out that they were deceived into mining in this dense forest. Some people were rescued, and some were fed to wild beasts and pythons while working.
The forest is so deep and dense that it’s hard to find people hiding there. I don’t know if the rumored giant beast exists, but the number of reported cases is getting higher year by year.”
As Wei Yuanting spoke, he glanced at Yun Huachun and saw that his face was full of hatred and bitterness.
"The wealth in the south of the Yangtze River is easy to attract people's attention. Every year, there are floods since the beginning of summer. There are also hurricanes near the seaside. They are overwhelming and can sweep people away. You may have never heard of it if you live near Yongxing Pass..."
Yun Huachun grew up by the sea, so he naturally knows what life is like by the sea.
But he didn't expect that this Dajin would be too big.
When his daughter was in junior high school geography, he often helped her with her homework.
To put it in professional terms, from the frigid zone to the tropical zone, Dajin has touched them all.
The world has changed, and the continent is also different.
No wonder the book says that after so many years of fighting, the barbarians took over half of the area. It was too big to occupy.
I thought I could reach the southern edge before winter, but now I don’t know if I can enter Shaanxi before winter.
The risk of moving south is too great...
The more he talked about it, the more serious Yun Huachun's face became.
The journey was harder and longer than he imagined.
"It's a good place for you to go to the south. There are fewer people and more land in the south, and the water and grass are plentiful. There are more than 300 counties in the south. I'm writing a letter for you. If you come across a suitable place, you can lend me my name there.
Living in peace will save you a lot of trouble." Wei Yuanting comforted him.
He looked at Yun Huachun's face and seemed to be frightened by his words.
He picked up a pen and wrote a letter, stamped it with several seals, and then took a copy of the post and gave it to Yun Huachun.
"Give this letter to the magistrate of your settlement, and he will make arrangements for you."
"This is my famous post. If you encounter a powerful person in trouble, you can help me by handing this post over."
Yun Huachun took it with both hands, feeling extremely grateful.
"Thank you General!"
"No need to say thank you, this is your credit for bringing the parchment to me." Wei Yuanting said with a smile.
Qin Sheng shook his head and sighed looking at Yunhua's docile appearance in spring clothes.
As expected, he was a small citizen from the frontier, and he didn't know the power of the Wei family in the Jin Dynasty. He could treat him as a treasure just by holding a famous post.
If Wei Yuanting told him to take it as he pleased, he would definitely kill Wei Yuanting severely.
"We will set off tomorrow. It's late at night. Eunuch Zhong, please go and have a rest."
"I'll take my leave first and bother the general to worry about you."
After seeing off Yun Huachun and Zhong Da, the people in the tent still haven't left.
