I’m Walking the Career Line In Dog Blood

    An Yinong goes farther and farther, and encounters more and more people and things. There are entertainers who wander around like gypsies, there are caravans that travel around, there are liars, thieves and prostitutes. The guards and Uncle Zhong stared at these people every day, for fear that the old master who looked like a chicken would be killed.

    The farther away from the capital city and the Central Plains, the more 'simple' the folk customs.

    The environment in the northwest is not good. When people are busy living, people can't teach morality and etiquette.

    He also met a merchant who came out of Dingsha and was going back to Dingsha. It was a small caravan with four owners, the merchant, the merchant's daughter-in-law, the merchant's daughter, and the merchant's nephew. There are also about ten guards, and seven or eight camels. They all sell leather materials here, including sheepskin and cowhide, as well as a small amount of wolf skin. When they come back, they will be replaced with special products from the Central Plains.

    It is worth mentioning that the merchant's daughter-in-law is a foreigner, but she speaks authentic Mandarin.

    An Yinong wore a headscarf, a light blue robe, and a bookish look. The merchant did not recognize him as an official, and thought he was a scholar who traveled everywhere. But that's it, he is also very attentive. After all, the people who can come out to travel are basically Juren or scholars from rich families.

    There are few scholars in the northwest region, and everyone has an inexplicable awe and admiration for them.

    His daughter secretly peeked at him, but she told her mother to call back without a second glance.

    At this time, it is very close to Dingsha County, and foreigners and foreign-style buildings are often seen on the road.

    On this day, he checked into an inn run by a foreigner. There was a freshly slaughtered lamb roasting at the entrance of the inn, and there was bubbling mutton soup in the cauldron.

    An Yinong asked for a bowl of mutton soup, a cake, a plate of vegetables and a plate of roast mutton.

    He sat down in the middle seat, the table was a little dirty, but it worked after a wipe, and An Yinong didn't care. Going out, if you want to pay attention to cleanliness, it is really impossible to live.

    The merchant family who came with him sat down at the table on the left.

    The dish was served after a while. The mutton soup was sprinkled with spices, and it didn't feel fishy but fragrant. An Yinong also cut the cake, stuffed vegetables and mutton, and wrapped two slices of cake. Eat, eat your mouth full of oil.

    Other guests looked fresh and asked for roast mutton, so they would eat it in a wrap.

    The merchant was especially happy to eat, he said to An Yinong in surprise: "It's so delicious."

    An Yinong took a sip of the hot mutton soup and said with a smile, "It's just not eaten cold, it's delicious hot."

    With just these two words, the people at the two tables started chatting. The more they chatted, the more the businessman said he would go back to his hometown to rest for a few years, and An Yinong said that he was going to settle in Dingsha County for a few years.

    "Sir, are you going to settle in Dingsha County?" the businessman said in surprise, "Could it be that you are teaching in our Dingsha County? to people."

    "Then we have a lot of good things to fix the sand. If nothing else, melons and fruits are sweeter than other places, and cattle and sheep are stronger than other places."

    The businessman was excited when he said this: "Our local grapes are big and sweet, eating one grain is sweet for a day. There is also a stupid cow at home with black hair and short horns, not good at farming, but the meat is special. The fragrance is very delicate."

    "It's a pity, this county magistrate doesn't understand, just say that you are not allowed to buy and sell cattle casually, no matter whether it is farmed or raised for meat, so no one raises it.

    "Fortunately, there is no such restriction on raising sheep. The sheep here are also good, and the meat is not fishy."

    From sweet melons and fruits, to local livestock, to the special vegetation in the desert, the businessman said a lot.

    Although Dingsha County is very poor, with few available fields, lack of water resources, and a permanent population of less than 5,000 households, in the eyes of businessmen, the most beautiful is still their hometown. The grass and trees all contain the deep feelings of Dingsha people for their hometown.

    An Yinong believed the businessman's words. There are many good things in the northwest. Unfortunately, the transportation is not developed. To solve this problem, one is to build roads, and the other is to carry out deep processing. It is best that the processed products can be stored for a year and a half, such as dried beef jerky wine or something.

    The third is to obtain a license to trade, such as restricted products such as beef.

    There is a fourth and a very important one, which is to make a name and spread it.

    "Isn't it said that a new magistrate has come, maybe he can allow the trading of cattle?"

    "Hey, what's the use of the magistrate's permission? It's not allowed above." The businessman snorted, "I don't expect a new magistrate, anyway, I have to go back after a year or a half. "

    Most of the magistrates who came here were exiled. When they came, they either mourned their fate all day long, or tried their best to return to the prosperous Central Plains. It is rare that there are two people who want to take good care of it, and there is nothing that can be done against the environment of Dingsha County.

    It has been a long time, and the people no longer expect their parents to be officials.

    They talked so hot that they didn't go back until it was dark.

    The businessman sat on the stool and picked his teeth, while saying: "I have seen many people in my travels, but the one I met today is incomprehensible. The style of the whole body is not like it. To say that he was born with a golden spoon in the rich and noble nest, it has no air for us. I can't see through it, I can't see through it."

    His wife is making the bed: "It's useless if you see it through, he is a nobleman, and we, businessmen. He said a few good words, you really become a friend?"

    "It's not like that," said the businessman. "I can see at a glance whether a person looks down on us or not."

     Hearing this, the businessman's wife straightened up and said angrily to her husband: "Don't tell our daughter this, she will take it seriously and don't make trouble with you. Just this one daughter, I can I don't want her to be a concubine."

    "Look, why did you want to go there? Well, I won't talk nonsense with my daughter."

    The light in the merchant's house went out, but the light in An Yinong's house was still on. He wrote about the merchant in the letter, and said that he listened and listened. I think there is a lot to do there.

    Since the climate of Dingsha County is not suitable for cultivating delicate crops, they can grow some not delicate crops, such as pasture, sorghum, soybean... And the melons and fruits that are said to be particularly sweet can also be found Opportunity to make dried and canned fruits.

    An Yinong also mentioned a kind of rubber grass. In his memory, there is this kind of grass in the northwest, which can be used to make rubber. With rubber, stills and cans can be arranged. .

    In addition, Dingsha County is on the border between the two countries. If a mutual market can be established to communicate with each other, the advantages will definitely outweigh the disadvantages, and the life of both sides will be better. But this kind of thing has to be considered by the court for a long time, and I don't know if it can be applied for.

    A businessman is like water, too much water will cause flooding, water will dry up, and it will become barren, only the right amount of flowing living water can bring vitality.

    If he really applies for the mutual market, who will preside over the mutual market? What kind of key products should be created?

    He wrote three full pages, talking about his thoughts, ideal state, and possible troubles, and stopped writing until someone outside beat the clapper.

    "Please give it to him." After the letter was folded, it was placed on the table.

    A carrier pigeon flew over to pick it up and flew away in the blink of an eye.

    The letter soon arrived in Gu Zhengzhong's hand. He was in a desert not far from Dingsha County. The dark clouds above his head covered the full moon, the dead trees were twisted like ghosts, and he was wearing an animal skull. The foreign priest lay dying on the ground, and the poisonous insects crawled all over the ground.

    "The mass grave that was buried alive before has been cleaned up." Gu Zhengzhong instructed his subordinates while opening the letter.

    The shadow around him receded silently.

    "Sir, Qixin is well..." A little fluorescent light fluttered, illuminating the letter for him, Gu Zhengzhong looked at it word by word, as if he could see the man sitting under the light, writing stroke by stroke The look of the letter.

    There was a smile in his eyes and his expression became gentle.

    The breeze is like a lover's kiss, blowing away the dark clouds covering the moon.

    The bright and clean moon hangs in the sky, and the silver-like light falls on the vast desert. The sand flowed silently, bit by bit engulfing this priest who wanted to curse the land of the Central Plains and create a plague.

    "Alien, you have crossed the border, this is not your territory." A huge white camel suddenly appeared in the moonlight. The camel's body was glowing with light, and its eyes were like two jewels, beautiful and beautiful. Mysterious.

    Gu Zhengzhong put away the letter and smiled: "So what?"

    The body of the white camel was elongated and deformed, turning into an exotic beauty with a veil: "How many people do you want to offend for a human being? It's really unwise to be enemies everywhere like this."

    "That's my business." Gu Zhengzhong put away the letter slowly, "Do you want to call? Then don't talk nonsense."

    The desert on this day blew sand, and the sand flooded an abandoned city.

    On the second day, Anon and the merchant went on the road together, their destination was the same, it was safer to go together.

    "It's strange, I haven't encountered a robber after walking for so long this time." The businessman thought of this, "It's really strange."

    "Do you still hope a robber will come to your door?" his wife asked.

    "I didn't say that, hey, I won't tell you." The merchant stood up and went to check the goods on his camel.

    The goods brought back by the merchants include salt, tea cakes, sugar, books... It is said that they are all goods that the locals like very much, and they are not worried about selling.

    Although the merchant did not elaborate, but this trip back and forth, he can earn money for three or four years. Of course, there are also great risks in this, such as the robbers just mentioned by the businessman.

    An Yinong saw him and walked over to ask something about Dingsha County.

    The businessman knew that he was going to settle for a few years, so he did not hide it. .

    "We all know that the horse thieves outside the gate belong to their family. The money in the pocket, the money in the warehouse, and the food and drink of their family are all stained with the blood of our herdsmen. "

    This businessman is a native of Dingsha County, but because he has been doing business all year round, he is well-informed. His wife is also a foreigner, so she also knows a little about foreigners, and there is no more suitable guide than him.

    They walked and chatted all the way, traveled together for five or six days, and finally arrived in Dingsha County.

    The gate of the county town was open, and officers and soldiers were there to check the road guide, which seemed to be quite careful. An Yinong got off the carriage, lined up in the crowd, and looked around.

    There are both locals and foreigners entering and leaving. Soldiers are treated equally, and they will be released if they are confirmed to be not wanted.

    The team soon reached An Yinong, and he took out his own guide. The soldier saw that he was about to release, but suddenly felt that something was wrong. He picked it up and looked at the name and remarks: "Are you a new magistrate?"

    An Yinong nodded: "It's me."

    The people around waiting to enter the city are all refreshed: "The magistrate? Where is it?"

    "The magistrate, the magistrate?" The businessman who was with him was weak-legged and shocked: he said a lot about the government's inaction along the way, and said that the new magistrate may not be better than the previous one. Jiuzhi County, who only knows that he is drunk and dreaming of death, is good.

    It's over.

    "Meet the grass..."

    "Hometown." An Yinong supported the businessman who was about to kneel.

    "Thank you for your introduction along the way. I was very uneasy at first, but after my brother's guidance, I really feel that our Dingsha is a good place and a treasure. Sooner or later, everyone in the world will know , let's produce the sweetest melons and fruits and the best beef and mutton in Dingsha County."
