I was a famous teacher in ancient times

Chapter 66
When the convoy entered Haizhou, it encountered a looted caravan. It was not mountain bandits who robbed the caravan, but rampant pirates.

Haizhou is a coastal state, and because of its geographical location, it is adjacent to Heguo. After the imperial court banned the sea, there has always been a rebellion against the bandits. Haizhou is one of the bottom few states.

The owner of the caravan was surnamed Wang, the goods were all robbed, and more than half of the guards were injured or killed.

Wang Dongjia kindly advised, "You go south along the border between Haeju and Jeju, and don't go near the coast, where there are a bunch of beasts that kill without blinking."

Zhou Yu asked, "The owner knows the danger, why do you want to go?"

There is something unnatural on Wang Dongjia's face, why, for cheap salt, Haizhou pirates are rampant, and the defenders have no choice but to do nothing. Be vigilant, this time not only lost all, but almost lost his life.

Zhou Yu didn't continue to ask, he knew that if he had enough interests, he could refuse it, "The owner is familiar with Haizhou?"

Wang Dongjia's arm hurt badly, his expression twitched, and his voice was muffled, "Familiar."

He has been secretly selling sea salt for three years. Thinking of salt, his heart hurts more than his arm. He cooperated with the prefect of his hometown. This time, he didn't bring back the salt, and he had to compensate the prefect for the loss. It was really bad luck.

Yang San asked, "Haizhou's Hekou is so rampant?"

Wang Dongjia stared at Yang San like a fool, he couldn't help laughing, "Silly."

Yang San was laughed unnaturally, not angry, and asked for advice humbly, "I also ask the owner to clarify the doubts."

Wang Dongjia raised his eyebrows, and the laughter stopped, "Where are there so many Hekou, even Hekou would only dare to rob some seaside villages, and where would they dare to rob a caravan, I have hundreds of guards, and each of them will It's a trainer."

Zhou Yu knew more and continued: "Most of the pirates are Haizhou people. They are afraid of involving their families and deliberately pretend to be bandits."

Wang Dong's family was not surprised, he saw the difference in this person at a glance, and said to Yang San: "It's also forced by the world, and if you don't want to starve to death, you can only fight hard. Some pirates are kind, and some are dark-hearted. The next time you encounter a black heart, you are still too young, I will listen to your elder brother more in the future."

Yang Sanchang saw it and grinned, "This is my brother-in-law."

Wang Dongjia cheerfully said, "Then listen to your brother-in-law, this world is dark!"

He was also forced to cooperate with the prefect, and he was disobedient. Oh, the Wang family was long gone.

Zhou Yu inquired about the news clearly, and returned to the carriage with the silent Yang San.

Yang Xi has been thinking about it all the time. She is deeply afraid that there is danger ahead. When she sees the embarrassed caravan, her heart is tensed, "Is it clear?"

Zhou Yu talked about the experience of Wang Dong's family, "We will continue to follow the route without danger."

Wu Shan heard that the whole person was stupid. He was purely inland. He was very curious about the sea. Today, a huge wave lost his enthusiasm. "Are we still choosing to settle in the coastal state?"

Holding the fire stick, Yang Xi drew the coastline on the ground, and also drew the location of Heguo, and pointed out the location of Haizhou: "The place we are going has to go to the south."

Yang San was not surprised that her sister drew a map. When her brother-in-law was teaching, her sister would listen.

Wu Shan was shocked!

Zhou Yu didn't explain, and took the fire stick and continued to paint, "We don't walk along the coastline, so there will be no danger."

Yang San stared at the coastline, "The vast coastline, this is too wasteful."

Yang Xi sighed, "Yeah, because the coastline economy has never been developed, the people on the coastline can't support themselves at all, and they can only be bandits if they don't want to starve to death."

Wu Shan doesn't know what the sea-ban economy is, he only knows, "As long as the common people live in this world, it will be difficult."

Yang Xi said in his heart, even in a prosperous world, there were still only the common people. In ancient times, there was no family planning. Every family had a lot of children, and they grew up one after another. .

After dinner, several families took turns to watch the night. Although Wang Dong's family was full of goodwill, they were still worried, who knew if they would be robbed.

Fortunately, Wang Dong's family was not completely broken, and everything was fine overnight.

Wang Dongjia said: "Thank you for the wound medicine yesterday, let's leave it for today, you can come to Huaizhou to find me in the future, as long as you can help, you will definitely help."

Zhou Yu, "You're welcome, I wish the owner a smooth journey home."

Wang Dongjia was in a hurry to go home, and left after speaking.

After Zhou Yu and others had gone far, they signaled the convoy to set off. They are all people who cherish life and continue to follow the route south.

Entering Haizhou, the contrast between Huaizhou and Haizhou is too obvious. The people of Huaizhou still have some flesh on their faces, and the people of Haizhou, even if they are not close to the coast, the people are yellow and thin.

There are many people begging on the official road, most of them are half-year-old children.

Yang Xi touched her abdomen and held her son in her arms. She couldn't see the scene outside, and the sound of the child's begging was too pitiful.

They found a village to stay overnight, and they wanted to stay in the county town. Unfortunately, Haizhou has not developed well for hundreds of years. There are not many county towns in Haizhou, and the distance between each county town is a bit far.

The village is not big, there are more than ten households in total. The village does not want money for grain, but rents the house with some coarse grain.

Yang Xi watched all the way from entering the village. Because there were too many people in the team, he rented two adjacent houses, where the Zhou family and the Wu family lived together.

Yang Xi waited until there were no outsiders before getting off the carriage with his son.

Yang Xi said: "Did you find it, this village is very interesting."

Zhou Yu had discovered it long ago, and looked sideways at Yang San, intending to test Yang San.

Yang San said solemnly, "There are only old and young women and children in this village, not a single adult man, not even half a child."

Yang Xi asked, "What else?"

Yang San pointed at the house, "The old, young, women and children don't wear well, but the house was repaired. Where did the money come from? Who repaired it?"

Zhou Yu was satisfied, "Not bad."

Yang San looked at the village and took a breath, "All the men in the village have become pirates?"

Haizhou has reached this level?

Yang Xi, "You have seen all the way, the people can't survive."

Officials in Haizhou just want to puff up their pockets. It doesn’t matter if the people live or die, and officials really don’t know about the loss of labor?It is hard to say that some pirates have already bought off some officials. Anyway, it is worthwhile to turn a blind eye to the mutually beneficial thing.

Yang San has learned a lot along the way, "This world is darker than I thought."

Zhou Yu looked at the gradually setting sun, "So we need people to restore the integrity of the world."

Yang Xi, "It's hard!"

King Jiang's plan for many years has been huge, and the chaos of the Northeast has also grown into a large scale. All ethnic groups are eyeing them. No matter who wins, the world will not be upright!
