Clam Pearl

Gu Zhao, who is it?It is the 21st century, a cheerful old boy from the sea. In his previous life, he was flat and smooth, and died at the age of 56. He has no marriage history, no belief, no love history, smoking history, gambling history, clean and clean In vain life, although he had delusional thoughts, he was born in a small town, the young and old in his family were ordinary people, unable to be stimulated, unable to accept public opinion, so he dared not speak up, dared not ask for it, so he had to leave home at a young age and wandered on a mining ship for nearly 20 years. From the age of 40, he taught in a private sea school until his death.

In the last few months, Gu Zhao also reflected on his whole life, lingering on the sick bed, without the comfort of his lover, without the care of his family, bitter and bitter, only feeling that he was at a loss, just because he liked the wrong category, he felt inferior and pretended to be cheerful Riding the wind and sailing, hiding for a lifetime, pretending for a lifetime, and ended up like this?Therefore, he swore:

If there is an afterlife!When you see what you like, don't run away, ask for it if you can, grab it if you can't ask for it, don't want to wrong yourself for others, live rashly, and be a real, hearty and comfortable man at sea.

In this way, he died, and after he died, he came to this strange and frightening fictional era. It seemed like an ancient time?But this ancient time doesn't match the history books, so I ran to the other side. Fortunately, this place is still the earth, and there are still some familiar historical figures. .

Does Gu Zhao have any affection for these relatives in this era, this country?Isn't it that they haven't gotten along yet?If the character is good, everything is fine. The old man really loved him back then, but the old man died.He had never encountered any family struggles or rear-end struggles when he read books before.

He is an eight-year-old boy, surrounded by 35 servants, but some people still feel sorry for him, saying that his life is very hard.

Don't think so?

these years.Because it is the Gu family, the younger brother of the Duke of the county, he actually got some advantages of his status, which made him understand the importance of the ancient clan, that is, everyone is prosperous, and everyone loses everything. You say he You can stay overseas, but the problem is that you can't play with monkeys, right?How lonely!This is a hegemonic society, he wanders around the world, travels back and forth in chariots and horses, and delivers the post from Pingzhou Gu's House, which is much more authoritative and deterrent than the note written by the principal in his previous life.

There are people around Gu Zhao who take care of him, not only taking care of him, but also being utterly loyal, which made his worldview messed up for many years before he got used to it. Isn’t this the era of human sacrifices just ended? Killing people for sacrifices, praying for rain, killing people for sacrifices, and exchanging a farm ox for slaves for forty, so during the sacrifice, people are pushed out as cheap goods to sacrifice, which is a cost-effective price choice, all kinds of things, as long as there is demand, unlucky It's the slaves.

The most terrifying thing is not death, but, slaves will be proud of this way of death?This Gu Zhao really can't stand it, but fortunately, human sacrifice has been banned now, so it's normal for society to progress.The only thing that hasn’t changed is that the slavish nature of slaves, like Gu Zhao’s grandpa, Bi Cheng’s family, for an eight-year-old child, besides being an ancestor, basically he can do whatever he wants, the only means It's just persuading, begging, and when these two tricks are exhausted and useless, they will follow Gu Zhao.

The sea is Gu Zhao's home. The few charts around the South Continent are the routes he used to run with his eyes closed in his previous life, and they are also the biggest possessions in his head in this life. There is an earthy way.In the vicissitudes of life, the map is still the same map, and it will still be the same here after thousands of years!I can't stand the familiarity, it's really God's blessing, the sea area around Yaoxian County in the south is tens of thousands of miles away, he can go with the fleet with his eyes closed, and he can go farther if the equipment is good.

It's just that shipbuilding technologies such as metallurgy, glue making, woodworking, etc. in this era are still in the primitive era.Gu Zhao understands the general knowledge of shipbuilding, but Gu Qi feels that it is not good to throw things from the Silver Age to the Bronze Age. He is a good teacher, and sometimes he likes to think about problems from the overall perspective. This is a disease, a teacher's disease.

Time travel, um, quite unexpected, time travel is not scary, but escapism is scary, when a cheerful old man at sea falls into a bewildered era, and he doesn't know the word escapism, it's even more frightening.

In the few years since he was born, Gu Qi was breathing with his mouth wide open. He felt that something was wrong, but he couldn’t tell what was wrong. It was like a dream, and he was confused every day. size!

This is an unprecedented era. Half of the people in history have lost half of them. Those who should sit in the world are dead, and those who shouldn't be sitting are alive, and they are living well.

The emperor's chronology is wrong, the historical events are wrong, those saints have come out and jumped, but the few famous gods in the ancient Chinese legends are less than half... People nowadays believe in the round sky, and they still feel that they live in the mainland In the center, there is the civilization of the Yellow River, the civilization of the Yangtze River has just begun to emerge, and the civilization of the grassland has not yet been heard.

Gu Zhao has traveled through many maps, most of which are in the south, and this side is still the same. There are relatively famous mountains, and with the famous mountains as the axis, he can find familiar destinations. This is still very comforting to him. The restless old man's heart.

He also inquired about it in the past, and he said that in the north, there is a very cold place, where there are not many crops, and the wild people live there are tall and big, the grassland can't see the edge, and no one has been to more distant places .

It's really strange, just like playing a game, the map hasn't been opened yet, but the inland civilization is moving forward quietly and quickly. This kind of evolution completely shields the surrounding countries from the outside, and they just focus on their own. The strangest thing is, how can this happen?In this state of being completely enclosed in a bottle, the people on this land have a recorded and verifiable history of civilization for nearly hundreds of years.

The country on the empty land is taking an unprecedented path, and it is still walking with confidence. For Gu Zhao, a foreigner, this is a powerful spiritual persecution.Sometimes his hands were itchy, and he really wanted to correct them.

What about Vietnam?What about the Golden Triangle?What about Southeast Asia?I don’t even know. By the way, India and Islamabad know that there is a religion over there, and the oldest monks traveled thousands of miles to preach. There is also a basic relationship between the country and the country. The people over there are called savages, saying that they have no etiquette, and Taoism also exists in the interior, and it is quite prosperous.

It’s just a good map of Huaxia, and Gu Zhao feels that it’s a pity to cut off a piece of southern land. The south of the Yangtze River is uncivilized, and Qinghai, Xinjiang, and southern Tibet are considered semi-civilized. Ten million, that is, one hundred million, is even less than this number after the war.There are few people, enough space, no tossing outside?Gu Zhao still felt that it was a pity, grab it, try hard to occupy it, and if it is occupied, it will be ours. This is probably the resentment of his future generations.

Speaking of it, it should be fortunate that Liang Chaoren's humanistic thought, metallurgical technology and agricultural productivity belonged to the early stage of a semi-feudal and semi-slavery society.Where Gu Zhao took the boat to, there were wildling teams in scantily clad clothes everywhere, and some of them were still hairy.What these tribes need most is food for survival, weapons, and agricultural tools.

Gu Zhao's business is very big, which is not good. It is really not good to bully monkeys, but with so many things, why not grab them?When he was running a boat, he was running a mining boat, and he was very familiar with several mining areas on the coastline. They produced gold mines, there were colored gemstone veins, jade veins, gold mines associated with silver mines, and countless colored gemstones. , Nowadays, the gold in this year is still mostly placer gold, which is generally white in color, also known as dog head gold, and mine gold is more golden and purer.

It can be seen that the country with the most gold mines is Indonesia.There is a small island between Sulu, Brunei, and Champa, called Yandu Island. This island has two gold deposits, one gold mine, and one copper mine. It is also accompanied by silver and colored gemstones. The famous Treasure Island.

With the manpower and material resources that Gu Zhao can control now, he can't finish this place for 100 years.

I used to watch TV dramas and watch time travel, but this protagonist is both inventing and dominating.In fact, those are all... Hey, anyway, Gu Zhao felt that he couldn't do it. Maybe he raised his arms and shouted, "I know how big the world is, let's go occupy the space together!"It's stupid to go with him!How old is he?

Gu Zhao is a superficial person, he thinks so, do things that can be done, don't think so big, it's an old man's idea.He can weave nets, watch fish schools, and not lose his way in the sea. If you ask him to make paper, he won't.

The days when Mu Sheng made a fortune, Gu Zhao lived for many years. He took his brother-in-law and traded cattle and food for hundreds of slaves from those tribes. He stuck his head on Yandu Island. This island alone was enough for Gu Zhao to dig. for life.

Those slaves change batches every two years, and when they leave, they will be given two big cows and a whole set of farming tools. Those fluffy babies are so beautiful.Moreover, they never buy slaves in one place, and they change places every two years. Gu Zhao is not careless. If there is no correct sea chart, except for Gu Zhao, Gu Zhao's grandma can't find where Yandu Island is. There are many torrents on the reefs around the island.

In this way, Gu Zhao was hoarding his strength silently, never daring to toss about inland.Nowadays, any force that comes over can crush his small body like an ant, leaving no bones left.Therefore, after his father passed away, he didn't expect his elder brothers to take good care of him at all. It would be good if he didn't bully him.

Gu Zhao has no resentment, and he doesn't owe him anything. It's fine now. Before the old man died, he quietly arranged everything for him. From his nanny, Gu Zhao knew that there was a secret room in the old house, and there were some treasures in the secret room. It was left to him, not much, but tens of thousands of dollars. Of course, for ordinary people, this is a lot, very much. Nowadays, ordinary tenants spend about ten dollars a year, and slaves themselves They are not their own, there is still property there.

If it weren't for the nanny's family being slaves, Gu Zhao's dream of going to the south for a walk in the sea would have been impossible to even think about before the age of 20. In this place, the 20-year-old crown ceremony is the only way to reach adulthood.

In the early years, the old man raised troops with the late emperor, smashed, smashed and looted a lot of money all the way, so, in the old man's opinion, he was left with enough flowers for a lifetime, and flowers that he could protect. Of course, this absolutely cannot be compared with His elder brother Gu Yanbi.

Sometimes Gu Zhao can't figure it out, you tell the secret to your loyal servant, but you don't tell your son, what kind of trick is this?Of course, a loyal servant is very real, the old man's entrustment, his nanny has completely fulfilled it.

An eight-year-old milk baby, Gu Zhao returned home with a lot of money and various industries.For those Pingzhou people whose families have a net worth of hundreds of thousands and tens of acres of rich land, he can be called a squire. He is a big piece of fat. Fortunately, the brand of the Founding Duke's Mansion is quite strong, he also has a vassal, and Bi Cheng also has a fierce temper, so he protects him abruptly.

Isn't Gu Zhao afraid?Scared, scared to death, afraid that someone would jump in over the wall and get hurt that day.Thanks to the fact that his nanny had been on the battlefield, Gu Zhao himself was successful, and bought a lot of house slaves who could protect the courtyard. The worst time, the master branch came from a clan from far away, far away. Uncle, when you come to borrow money, it's a hundred words.Gu Zhao invited the elder of the main branch, and asked him to help him decide whether to give the money or not.

If he dared to lose face here, he would lose face there.

Later, I left home and took my nanny to fight in the south all day long, mixing in various ethnic minority areas. In fact, the ethnic minorities are nothing, but the concept of territory is strong. For outsiders, the key point is to be on guard, but for bringing them Gu Zhao and Bi Liangli who need daily necessities are still very welcome.

Grandpa has Alzheimer's disease, and Gu Zhao has grown up a bit.Fortunately, he has the lowest false title and can travel around, otherwise, as an ordinary low class citizen, he would not even be able to go to other counties.

Nowadays, the south is called a barbaric land, because there is no etiquette education here, because it is just a stretch of tropical rainforest, swamps, and miasma. Therefore, although the government has regulations, it is still unusually loose. Sending them here to wait to die, with such a name, is actually a protection for some tribes in the south.

Maybe, in a few hundred years, the door here will be opened, and the girls of the ethnic minorities will have face tattoos and elongated necks to protect themselves at the age of twelve or thirteen, and the map of the south will not be opened. Not to mention the vast sea.

The ancients matured very early, 13-year-olds can be found everywhere, after the old Bi Cheng became stupid, 11-year-old Gu Zhao was the master of the house, Bi Liangli was 100% slavish to his little master, absolutely no question Ask, just listen carefully.

In this way, going back and forth every five months and changing people every two years, Gu Zhao took his nanny and a group of indigenous slaves back and forth around the coastline for several years. How to spend the lonely years depends on reading and listening to the old seaman's nagging.Gu Zhao knows how to communicate, although many generations earlier, seafarers always have their own way of survival.

Gu Zhao has been hoarding, wandering around Southeast Asia on Yandu Island. They exchanged a lot of rare things with simple things inland. In a small place near the Yangtze River in the south, he has a wharf. The famous container terminal, but now there are no people here, only a fishing village, and Gu Zhao himself is the largest farmer here with a radius of hundreds of miles.

He bought a large piece of land and didn't cultivate it. He planted trees everywhere and planted various fruit trees.

Gu Zhao knew the news that Mr. Gu sent someone to pick it up. He was a little aggrieved, but there was nothing he could do. This is a time when the clan is prosperous only when the patriarch is respected, and the elder brother is still the father!

But he has never contacted the people over there, who knows what they want to do, and this side should also stop.After all, what he has in his hand is too eye-catching, and if he is not careful, it will lead to disaster. He doesn't know how much the thing in his hand is worth, but the most basic thing is to be rich.

Bypassing the Gu family, Gu Zhao took Bi Liangli and quietly transported a small part of the property hoarded over the years back to his hometown Pingzhou. Before his death, the old man left him three mountains. In the eyes of ancient people, The mountains are the least valuable, because they are connected to the land, so the few hills near the parity hometown are his. The hunters at the foot of the mountain will send some leather to the owner's house at the end of the year as tax.

The things that Gu Zhao brought back were hidden in the small village at the foot of the mountain, and he didn't hide this from Bi Liangli.

Brother Bi Liangli didn't think so. He felt that he was treated like a gentleman by his master. Such respect is very rare in this era. In order to show his loyalty, he cut off his tongue.

Gu Zhao occasionally dreams, and when he thinks of Nai Ge's profuse mouth, he is sweating all over his body. He really doesn't understand, yes, this is simply unacceptable.But the ancients were all like this. It is a normal social phenomenon for scholars to die for their confidantes, just like going to a movie theater to buy tickets. This is the rule.Tongue cutting is the lowest form of loyalty.

So, the ancients were really troublesome, just like they are now.

Tao Ruo respectfully kowtowed three times to Master Qi: "Greetings to Master Qi."

Gu Zhao suddenly remembered a very old TV sitcom, in which a person held a long knife all day long and shouted: "Take care of my seventh uncle and grandpa!"

"Ah, get up! I'm not familiar with you, maybe I've seen you before, when I was young, I can't remember many things." Gu Zhao lay obliquely on a flat floor without railings and enclosures , leaning on a chubby satin cushion behind him, wearing a very ordinary kerchief to catch his hair, wearing a pea blue long robe with no cloth socks, bare feet half crossed, hands Holding a blue-gray teacup in it, he greeted Tao Ruo casually.

Tao Ruo stood up and said yes with a smile.Gu Zhao looked at his old family repeatedly, and they said, this is a capable person from the elder brother's side, who can grow a hundred or eighty eyes. Find out.

On Tao Ruo's old orange peel's face, there were smile lines all over his face, and he carefully looked at his little Qi master.

It looks very good. Although it has been in the south for many years, it is still white and tender, and it has a jade color without being powdered.Of course Gu Zhao has been hacked, but he has been raised in the past few months.

Tao Ruo admired, look at this slender eyebrows and phoenix eyes, clear eyebrows, and a top-notch appearance. Speaking of which, everyone is beautiful, and the fourth master in the family is also like this. He is handsome, beautiful and smart, but not as good as the seventh master Smart, supported the family business by himself at a young age, went to the south to suffer, opened a winery, reclaimed wasteland, made essence, hey, the old man still doesn't know how to feel bad if he is alive.

"Big brother and sister-in-law, are you okay?" Gu Zhao asked awkwardly.

Tao Ruo's head immediately lowered, her spine was slightly bent, and she replied respectfully: "It's all good, I just miss you, and it's not like I haven't contacted you these years. This is a mess. A few years ago, the master was in Xinbei, sitting in the north. You know that there are wars every day in that place, and the youngest fourth master in the family didn't know that there is a father in the world until he was four years old, you don't know..."

Tao Ruo still wanted to nag, but Gu Zhao waved his hands in annoyance: "Okay, okay, I didn't ask you so much, so I just said what are you doing here?"

Tao Ruo smiled shyly: "Going back to Lord Seven, what Elder Master means is to pick you up to go to Beijing. Master Xiao Qi will be seventeen now, and it's time to start a family and start a business. Now that the master is in the court, he can still be said to be in the court. I want to help you find a real shortage. When I came here, the master said that the winery in the south can drink by itself. After all, it is not appropriate to sell such things... After going to Shanghai, there is a master. This is not the old lady who has been cleaned up now. Suyunyuan..."

"Understood." Gu Zhao interrupted the old servant's nagging a little irritably, and Tao Ruo shut up. Although he was a respectable old servant in the Gu family in Shangjing, he was an old servant of three generations, and the young masters of the younger generation would be scared when they saw him. I want to call Grandpa Tao, but in front of this person, it is obvious that he still can't stand up. This person is like the old man, he is considered a descendant, and his seniority is very high.

Gu Zhao didn't turn his head back and said, "Go back and tell my elder brother that I'm doing well. The family was divided up earlier, and what belongs to him is his. I live in my hometown and live by myself in the south. In the past few years, I don’t want to start a family for the time being, and besides... if I want to start a family, I will find it myself, so let’s do it.” Gu Zhao spoke with a modern temperament, perhaps because he has become a habit of making decisions by himself over the years, very The posture of some superiors.

Tao Ruo still laughed along with her, and replied respectfully: "Master Seven, how do you say that... But you see, the elder brother is also the father. You see, if you don't go back..." Tao Ruo chattered Nagging and wanting to come together hard and softly, but Master Xiao Qi insisted on not accepting him, and before he finished his two paragraphs, Master Xiao Qi had already left calmly.

If you don't want to go, you won't go, what can you do to me?I haven't seen him yet, Master Xiaoqi has already left the Gu family in Shangjing with a reputation for being eccentric and going his own way.
