When the people of Zhan saw a wave of Han troops coming out of Hue County, they were so frightened that they turned around and ran away.

Wang Li and others were saved. After counting the number of people, there were only 17 people left out of the hundred Shu soldiers. Counting Wang Li and Zhang San, there were only 19 people. Zhang San lost more than one-fifth of the rice he exchanged for gold.

Four.

Zhang San gasped and patted Wang Li on the shoulder: "Brother Bosu..."

Wang Li waved his hand and said, "I met my savior first."

Yu Guo asked: "Are you Han Chinese? Why are you going to Champa State?"

Wang Li said: "We are a caravan from Yizhou, going to the Champa Kingdom to buy food. Unexpectedly, when the barbarians saw that we had gold on us, they became malicious."

Yu Guodao: "In that case, follow me into the city first."

Zhang San poked Wang Li again and shouted: "Brother Bosu..."

Wang Li threw his shoulders impatiently and felt a sharp pain in his back, but he ignored it for the time being and lectured Zhang San: "You haven't asked for the name of your savior yet, why are you talking so much?"

Yu Guo, who was standing next to him, heard this and thought that this merchant was quite particular, so he said, "I am the governor of Rinan County, Yu Guo."

Wang Li thanked the State of Yu and followed the Han army into the city.

At this time, Zhang San poked Wang Li again: "Brother Bosu..."

Wang Li asked breathlessly: "What's the matter with you?"

Zhang Sandao: "You have an arrow stuck in your back and shoulder."

Wang Li: "..."

Damn it, why does it hurt so much?

You kid didn't tell me earlier.

The doctor in Yu Guoling's county examined the injuries of Wang Li and others, pulled out the arrowhead for Wang Li, and applied herbal medicine on it - of course, Wang Li's caravan still had to pay for it themselves.

Under the cross-examination of Yu Guo, Wang Li insisted that he was just an ordinary businessman. Now he failed to buy grain and was hunted down by others. He would never deal with the Champa barbarians next time.

That night, Wang Li found Zhang San and said, "Hue is not a place where we can stay for a long time. We'd better return to Yizhou as soon as possible."

Zhang Sandao: "I also want to return to Yizhou as soon as possible, but Brother Bosu, I'm afraid your injuries are not suitable for a long journey."

Wang Lidao: "This injury is nothing. If Wang Hua knew that we had fled into Hue County, he would probably use other methods to prevent us from bringing the rice back to Yizhou. After all, this is also related to his interests."

Zhang Sandao: "I think Prefect Yu is quite good. How about asking for his protection?"

Wang Li shook his head: "Of course Prefect Yu is a good person, but what matters is that we have obtained the rice from Champa, and Yizhou's grain output will be doubled soon. As an official of Jiaozhou Shixie, how can Prefect Yu not consider the influence of Jiaozhou after Yizhou becomes stronger?"

The impact? He doesn’t know this yet. When he knows, I’m afraid he will no longer be our savior.”

Zhang San nodded repeatedly after hearing this. It seemed that he was not as profound in thinking about things as these old guys.

In the early morning of the next day, Wang Li left some gold, silver and silk to Yu Guo, and claimed that he would be grateful in return when he returned to Yizhou.

Yu Guo was an upright official who was indifferent to fame and fortune. Although Wang Li was not under his rule, he was still a Han. As the border governor of the Han Dynasty, it was his unshirkable duty to save the Han people from the barbarians, so he declined Wang Li politely.

of good intentions.

Wang Li thought that in troubled times, it was really difficult to have officials like Yu Guo. He thought that if he could return to Yizhou alive, he must recommend him to Li Qi.

Rinan County, Taishou Mansion.

The State of Yu decided to write a letter to the King of Champa. Since we are now in a non-war period, why are we still chasing and killing my Han people? Are you lax in restraint, or are you deliberately creating conflicts?

Before the letter was sent, someone from the government came to report that a merchant named Wang Hua wanted to see him.

Wang Hua has been wandering between the southern part of Jiaozhou and the Kingdom of Champa all year round. He is quite famous among the people, so much so that when the Yu Kingdom heard this name, he did not feel unfamiliar. He was just curious, why did he come to the Yamen?

Yu Guo asked Wang Hua to go to the meeting hall to wait for a while, and polished the letter in his hand before going to see him.

When Wang Hua met Yu Guo, he stood still and saluted: "The common people pay their respects to Governor Yu."

Yu Guoxu pressed his palm, indicating that he could sit down and talk.

Wang Hua asked: "Did Governor Yu rescue a Yizhou caravan yesterday?"

Yu Guodao: "This is indeed true. Is this why you are here?"

Wang Huandao: "Of course. This Yizhou caravan was brought to the Champa Kingdom by the grassroots people."

"Oh?" This actually surprised Yu Guo.

Wang Hua continued: "Originally, they only said that they wanted to understand the growth situation of the rice in Champa and have a more detailed management plan for the rice in Champa. But when I didn't expect it, they used tricks to get me away, but they secretly followed me in Zhancheng.

The people traded rice. Governor Yu knew that the rice could be used as seeds."

Yu Guo didn't know much about Champa Rice, so he asked: "The caravan gives money and the farmers give rice. What's the problem?"

Wang Huandao: "Prefect Yu may not know that the rice in Champa is very easy to cultivate and the growth cycle is very short..."

"What did you say?" Yu Guo suddenly raised his head and put down the teacup in his hand.

He originally thought that after the Yizhou caravan bought the rice from Champa, it would inevitably affect Wang Hua's business, so Wang Hua came to him for help in an attempt to get the rice back. But this matter is a dispute between your merchants' interests. As long as

Everyone is reasonable and legal, and it is impossible for Yu State to intervene forcibly. Besides, you, Wang Hua, have made a lot of money, will you use it to build Ninan County for free?

But when the State of Yu heard Wang Hua describe the growth characteristics of Champa rice, he suddenly felt that this was a treasure!

The nearby Kingdom of Champa actually had this kind of rice. As the governor of Rinan County, he didn't know it.

Yu Guozheng asked Wang Hua: "Since you knew that Champa State had such rice seeds, why didn't you report it earlier? Do you know how many people's lives this can save?"

Wang Hua was confused, why did he involve himself in this?

Wait a moment, let’s take a look first.

Wang Huandao: "Prefect Yu, please calm down. The Champa Kingdom has not cultivated this kind of rice for a long time. I have been doing business in the Champa Kingdom for many years and I just learned about it. Now the Champa Kingdom lists rice as a strategic resource and only sells rice."

, did not sell rice. This caravan led by Wang Li of Yizhou secretly purchased other people's rice, so it was hunted down by the Champa Kingdom."

Yu Guodao: "So what? Our big man can benefit countless people by introducing this kind of rice. If the Champa country dares to disobey, then we will see you on the battlefield. Besides, we will neither steal nor rob. We will use the truth to

Bought with gold and silver, the prohibition imposed by the city-occupier was only effective on his own people. As a result, they couldn’t even restrain their own people. Who could they blame?”

Wang Hua never expected that the foothold of Yu State was not in Jiaozhou, let alone Rinan County, but in the entire Han Dynasty.

In fact, Yu Guo's mentality was largely due to his geographical location.

Originally, Jiaozhou did not go to war with the major princes for many years, and the Yu State was located in the southern border, and dealt more with foreign countries like the Champa State, so he positioned himself as a Han Dynasty border defense general, rather than a certain

The thugs of the princes.

Despite this, Wang Hua still wanted to say something more: "But Wang Li brought the rice back to Yizhou, which can only make Yizhou stronger. Then our Jiaozhou is located in the southeast of Yizhou, wouldn't it..." Like traveling through the Three Kingdoms
