Chapter 81 On the way

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    There is a house for ten miles, a night for thirty miles, and a hotel for fifty miles.  Zhou Li stipulates that these public facilities must be provided on the road to facilitate travelers. At the same time, each road must be specially maintained to ensure that the road is smooth.

    There are four types of road widths. The smallest road is the kind of small road in Yunyao fief that can only be used by cattle and horses.  Then there are one-way roads that can carry one car, two-way roads that can carry two cars side by side, and roads that can carry three cars side by side.

    Starting from Yunyao Fiefdom, it was a one-way road, and then merged into a two-way road. The carriage moved forward leisurely, but Yunyao was not on the carriage, but was walking behind the carriage, because the carriage contained gifts.

    At the annual large-scale sports meeting, in addition to showing off your face, you also have to give gifts to the monarch.  Although Yunyao has already paid taxes, the etiquette is less important than the affection. The most important thing is the attitude towards the monarch. Moreover, the gift is not given in vain. After receiving the gift, the monarch will return the gift.

    This can be regarded as a way for nobles to exchange what they have. Yunyao brought some reed mats, bamboo baskets, and dried fish.  The gifts were not shabby, for many barons could not afford them.

    Yunyao looked at the surrounding scenery with great interest. The land was all bare, and there were still some banker poles in the field that had not been cleaned. Occasionally, there were savages sitting on the ridges of the fields to pass the time leisurely, which seemed very comfortable.

    Although the dirt road is bumpy, except for occasional rut marks, it is generally walkable.  The group of people didn't walk in a hurry, but rather relaxed.

    But suddenly there was the sound of horse hooves beating behind her, and then a team of horses flew past Yunyao, raising dust, startling Yunyao's two variegated horses.

    "Is it the Mou family?" Yunyao saw the white flag of the Mou family with the word 'Mou' embroidered in black on it.  This kind of thing is equivalent to the family emblem of the nobles. The nobles will embroider the family name on their flags to show off in the market.

    Yunyao¡¯s carriage also has a flag belonging to the Zhu family. It is not as grand as the Mou family. After all, there is a lot of difference between a baron and an earl.

    "Not polite." The father-in-law sneered at the Mou family's behavior of galloping on horseback and was very disdainful.

    "I guess he saw us, so he deliberately showed it off to us." Yunyao said, the Mou family is too small-minded, it is really possible to do this.

    There were six vehicles in the Mou family's fleet, three carrying people and three loading goods. They passed by Yunyao at a fast pace, raising dust and wrapping them up.

    This Mou family has gone too far to deceive others. Yunyao made a note in the little notebook in her heart.

    In the Western Zhou Dynasty, it was not easy to gather people from all over the country for a meeting. Everyone was near and far away, and their arrival times were also different.  Therefore, there is plenty of time to prepare for the shooting ceremony. The announcement was made at the beginning of September and it will not be held until the end of September, so that the noble officials have sufficient time to travel.

    Yunyao is only about thirty miles away from the capital, which is not too far, so we didn¡¯t set out until the day before the shooting ceremony. We could arrive at night and stay one night just in time to participate in tomorrow¡¯s shooting ceremony.

    "Mother Du, there is a car running out of the road ahead." The driver stood high and looked far away, and found that there was a car accident ahead.

    Yunyao looked sideways from behind the car and saw that there was indeed a car lying on the side of the road with a broken axle. Several people gathered around and were working hard to unload the car and prepare to repair the car.

    "Go and help them."

    Yun Yao Lu saw the injustice and came to help, leading his retainers to step forward.  The four horses have all been unloaded and are digging through the dirt in search of grass roots.  The boxes on the car were piled up in a mess on the road, and several men dressed as attendants were struggling to turn the truck body over to repair the car.

    Yunyao and his retainers stepped forward to lend a hand and easily turned the car over.

    "Thank you for your help, noble lady." Several men were sweating profusely, looking helplessly at the broken axle.

    "It's easy to do. It's hard to repair a broken axle." As he spoke, Yunyao took a look at the goods in the boxes on the roadside and found that they were all stones: "The stones must be too heavy. Why are they transporting stones?"

    "Du Niang, these are jade stones." Uncle Zai reminded Yunyao aloud when he saw how ignorant he was.

    "Jade?" Yun Yao said in her heart that it was no wonder she carried so many stones. It turned out that they were not idle, but useful.

    The strong man in the lead nodded and said: "We are jade people. We were ordered to transport a batch of jade from Zhou State back to Lu State. The carriage was rotated six times along the way, and the axle was broken twice. Unexpectedly, we were about to reach the destination.  The axle actually broke again." Helplessness was written on his face.

    "Then what are you going to do?"

    "The prepared axles have been used up. We are going to send people to the capital to call for a car." The man said.

    Yunyao nodded, then he had nothing to do with himself: "This is a solution. Since you already have a solution, I won't bother you. We have to hurry up."

    "Thank you again for your help." The man said gratefully.

      The carriage continues to set off.

    We soon arrived at our destination. The eastern suburbs were a piece of dusty flat land. Flags were fluttering and colorful flags were fluttering. Nobles and officials representing various fiefdoms in the Lu State gathered together, with noisy carriages and horses and a bustling crowd.

    The stage is ready. The high mound for sacrifices stands on the right, and the wooden viewing platform stands on the left. A spacious competition venue is enclosed by a fence in the middle. Tomorrow, all those participating in the ceremony can compete in archery.  , race a horse and a chariot to show the spirit of the state of Lu.

    Different classes of nobles have different treatment. A baron is a baron. Soon some Chinese people brought Yunyao to the baron's parking lot to record their gifts, transport their things away, and arrange their accommodation.

    The whole process is orderly and every Chinese person is experienced and will not make mistakes or make mistakes.  Yunyao was brought to a tent full of barons. There were twelve barons present, and there were thirteen including Yunyao. She should be the last one to arrive.

    Even if you are just a baron, you are still a noble. It is an identity certified by Zhou Li, and it is also a title that can be passed down from generation to generation.

    The barons are all gentlemen when they are together and respect etiquette.

    So although Yunyao is young and a girl, now that she is here, no one will neglect her.

    "You must be the Zhu daughter of Zhuhe. I have heard your story. You defeated the earl in the war." A young baron came over to greet Zhu Nu. This man was not tall or big. He seemed a little  He was malnourished, his cheeks were sunken, and he looked a little sick: "My name is Fang Gu, I have the courtesy name Ji Xiang, and my fiefdom is in the east, close to the state of Qi."

    "I've met Fang Jun." Yunyao greeted politely: "I heard that Qi State produces salt. You should be doing business on the border of Qi State. Your fiefdom must be very lively."

    Hearing what Yunyao said, Fang Gu didn't look very good. Looking at the look of him not having enough to eat, he knew that his life was not very good.

    Yunyao also noticed that the other party's expression was not right, and immediately changed the subject: "Tomorrow's shooting ceremony, I wonder if all of you will participate? I came late, I wonder if you have decided?" Not only asking Fang Gu, but also asking  Other Barons.

    All the barons in the room looked at Yunyao. Some of them were old and some were young, some were tall and some were short. However, they were all sallow and thin. They were not much different from ordinary Chinese people. They were not even as good as some Chinese people who were doctors.  .

    Some barons even had their clothes patched. Apparently there were also poor barons who were facing bankruptcy due to poor management.
