Chapter 701 Save the soldier king five(1/2)
The reporter from the General Tabular looked at the man as if a fly had seen shit.
They immediately surrounded the merchants and said with a smile: "What news have you brought? Is the war between the Great Qin Dynasty in the barbarian country going smoothly?"
“How many people have we killed?”
“How many cities have we occupied?”
"Do those arrogant barbarians know that they are wrong?"
"Did they kneel down and beg for surrender?"
The merchant took a breath and said, "Things are much more complicated than you think."
"The matter here is hard to explain in one or two sentences. I brought the record of the soldiers in front of me."
"Oh?" The reporters immediately became interested.
The merchant took out Wang Wu's diary.
It was a coincidence that the merchants got the diary of Wang Wu.
It is said that decades ago, the merchant's family traveled to and from the Western Regions to sell for business.
Later, the Huns rose and cut off the business path, so the merchants and families focused on the Qin Dynasty.
Unexpectedly, in a short period of time, the Huns collapsed and were defeated.
So, the merchants' thoughts became lively again, and they wanted to continue to open up the market along the path of their predecessors.
After all, Daqin was already everywhere. At the beginning, the wave of people made a fortune, and the rest of them were a little struggling.
Although you still make money in business, it is unlikely that you can make a big profit if you don’t have any brains.
Therefore, the merchants decided to open up the market for barbarian lands, and maybe they could seize the opportunity to recreate the business legend?
So he came to this barbarian country called Mule and Horse.
Everything went well at the beginning, but it didn't take long, something was wrong.
These barbarians may have seen that they made too much money, or they may have been dissatisfied with the Qin Dynasty, so they deliberately made trouble for them.
Today we set fire to burn the goods, and tomorrow we will thieves come to steal.
Anyway, no day is quiet.
The merchants were a little discouraged because the news came out that Augustus was interested in acquiring the industries of these Daqin merchants at a low price.
It is said to be an acquisition, but it is actually just a fig leaf.
Because that price is basically free, that little money is simply used to send beggars.
And it won’t work if you don’t sell it. If you don’t sell it within a specified period, you will confiscate it.
The merchant thought about it and said that if he didn't buy this property, he would probably not be able to take it away. Even if he could barely take it away, he would be robbed on the road. How could he make sense?
Some merchants are naive and want to complain here, but they lose the lawsuit tragically.
This kind of behavior is nonsense. If they clearly make it, they want to get your property for nothing. Do you still want to sue them?
Will someone take care of you?
Finally, the merchant thought about it and sold all his property.
The painstaking management here is ruined.
Not only that, but also lost a lot.
The merchant thought he was unlucky enough, but he didn't expect that there would be even more unlucky. When he was about to leave, the barbarian country announced that it had fought with the Qin Dynasty.
Now, all the Qin merchants in the barbarian country were detained and their property was confiscated.
If someone raises an objection, they will be immediately called a spy.
Once you become a spy, not only will your property not be kept, but your life will also be in danger.
But what if you are honestly detained? That won’t work.
It is said that whenever a barbarian country is defeated, it will kill people to vent its anger. Several merchants have been killed.
So the merchant's situation is very dangerous.
So he began to risk his life to escape, trying to leave the barbarian country.
As a result, he was discovered soon.
After all, merchants are Qin people, and Qin people are really different from those of barbarian countries.
Even if it is covered with cloth, it is easy to be recognized.
So the merchants specially picked up remote paths to walk, and they rested during the day and rushed to the night.
Along the way, I was not caught, but instead encountered wild beasts several times.
Later, he was reported and was hunted down by soldiers from the barbarian country.
The merchant was unfortunately caught.
For honest merchants, Auguste killed them according to his mood.
When you are in a good mood, stay for the time being. When you are in a bad mood, cut it over with one knife.
But there is nothing to say about the escaped merchants, just kill them.
The merchant had already put his life and death aside. He was escorted by soldiers to the execution ground like an old monk entering a meditation.
Just when the execution was about to be executed, the merchants' good luck came and Qin soldiers fought.
By chance, this group of soldiers from the barbarian country was wiped out. So the merchants fell into the hands of the Qin soldiers.
At that moment, the merchants seemed to see their relatives, following Qin Bing every day, with tears in their eyes.
Qin Bing kept him as an interpreter and promised him that he would take him back when he was triumphant.
In this case, the merchant met Wang Wu and obtained his Wang Wu's diary.
After seeing Wang Wu’s diary, the merchant keenly realized that this was a good thing.
If this thing is sent to Xianyang City, it will definitely cause heated discussion.
And... it must be delivered to Xianyang City as soon as possible.
Because we are fighting a barbarian country now, and the barbarian country is thousands of miles away from the Qin Dynasty.
Xianyang City cannot get the news here, and what it gets is also extremely lagging.
Now everyone in Xianyang City is looking forward to it, wanting to know what happened in the barbarian country.
At this time, bringing Wang Wu’s diary back is first-hand information.
By then... the people in Xianyang City will not go crazy?
If this thing is delivered to the newspaper, the sales volume of the newspaper will soar.
If you publish a book, you will definitely become a bestseller.
However, this book must be sent back now, otherwise the popularity will pass over after a long time.
When the army returns to triumph, everyone knows what happened in the barbarian country. By then, Wang Wu’s diary will definitely not have such a high sales.
Therefore, this is a mountain of gold, a fleeting mountain of gold. We must seize the opportunity.
But... I am fighting now, and the road is blocked, so I can't send it back.
The merchant felt a little regretful.
He has lost all his family property for generations, and now is the time to be unwilling to accept it. Now there is the opportunity to make a profit like this, and the merchants feel that they should seize it.
Merchants can really take risks for profit.
So he discussed with Wang Wu and asked him to take Wang Wu's diary back, and the profit he made after turning back was half the profit.
Wang Wu naturally had no objection and handed over the diary to the merchant.
And the merchants took another big escape with their diaries.
After all, he had escaped once. He had experience and was familiar with each other again. This time he was not caught by the barbarians and arrived in Beidi County smoothly.
As long as you arrive in Beidi County, things will be easy to handle. The merchants took the train and arrived in Xianyang City.
Wang Wu’s diary can be regarded as a strange book, while the experience of merchants is bizarre and tortuous.
Those reporters were stunned.
After the merchant finished speaking, they immediately begged the merchant to authorize him and changed his experience into a novel.
Then...these reporters wrote a quick and within a few hours, they wrote something similar to an adventure novel.
Afterwards, they agreed and published Wang Wu’s diary.
According to the merchant's intention, Wang Wu's diary should be compiled separately into a book in the city.
But these reporters are more experienced. They said to the merchants: "You can't do this. Wang Wu's diary is not very famous now. Even if you barely publish it, your sales will not be able to be opened."
"It's better to publish a part of the newspaper. After all, the sales volume of our General tabloids is very high. By then, we can open up the popularity of Wang Wu's diary."
To be continued...
