(18) The so-called Beimu
The Beimu mainland is located in the cold zone, and it is in the ice and snow for half a year every year. Therefore, cloth, tea and other things are very scarce, wood, ginseng, nuts, gems and other products are very rich, which is also one of the reasons why Lan Su wants to trade with it.
Beimu has a cold climate, Lan Susu is standing on the dock wearing a snow fox fur, it is now the beginning of March, the weather of Tianyue has begun to warm, but it will snow in Beimu, although the sky has cleared when landing, but there are still traces of snow that have just been swept on the roadside, there are not many people on the port, thinking that there are not many people living by the sea, the town is built twenty or thirty kilometers away from the sea, and there are only some warehouses built with solid stones on the coast, which are used to supply merchants who come and go to temporarily store goods, It can be seen that the wisdom of Beimu people's life, if they live near the sea, the huge waves and gusts of wind at the sea will bring disasters to people at any time, but withdrawing twenty or thirty miles can greatly reduce the threat of these natural disasters.
Beimu's houses are mostly two-storey small buildings built of stone, the windows are very large, and different from the carved wooden windows of Tianyue are made of white paper, but a transparent material similar to glass is inlaid on the wooden windows, which is similar to glass, making the room bright, very good lighting, and easy to gather heat. The top of the house is high, the slope is large, this is a typical house structure in the cold zone, because it often snows, in order not to cause a large amount of snow on the roof to collapse, so the slope of the roof will be very large, and the snow will fall down the roof after the snow will not produce too much pressure on the house, so as to improve the safety factor of the occupants. The internal space of the high roof is set up as an attic, some of which are used as storage rooms for storing items, and some are used as bedrooms for naughty children, looking at such a building is really a bit like those European buildings in the previous life of Lan Susu, the style is beautiful, the functions are complete, and there is even a special flue leading to each room, as long as the firewood is lit in the house, the heater will be transmitted to each room with the flue to play a role in heating, so that even the winter will not be as cold as the outside, the wisdom of the ancients is really not to be underestimated.
Miss, this house is really special. After listening to Lan Susu's praise for the structure of this exquisitely built house, Lan Ruofeng felt that this strangely shaped house was very magical, and there was not much surprise that her master would know this, as if her master was omnipotent, and there was nothing she didn't know.
Susu, did you hear this from your master? Seeing Lan Susu's words to explain the wonders of these houses, Helian Qingcheng almost couldn't sit still, this is the experience that people in Beimu have been summing up for thousands of years, Lan Susu is only twelve years old, and he has just arrived in Beimu, but he understands these things so clearly, it can be seen that he has always had the intention of trading with Beimu, this idea coincides with himself, if Beimu does not take the initiative to trade with Tianyue, I am afraid that in a few years he will sail across the ocean and come to Beimu.
Well, everything Su Su has learned is taught by the master, for Su Su, the master has the grace of saving his life, the professor's karma, and the feeling of knowing the encounter, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is Su Su's reborn parents. Lan Susu whispered that he had so much, and only the unwarranted master could explain it clearly. Gao Changgong didn't speak, because Beimu's house was so scientifically advanced, he really surprised him, but Lan Susu seemed to be very familiar with the things here, and he was already a little surprised and speechless, but he was surprised in his heart, but he didn't show anything on the surface, after all, he was a prince, and he came to Beimu this time on behalf of Fengchen, and he lost his personal face, but he couldn't lose Fengchen's face!
I didn't expect it, what we have always been proud of, there are people in this world who will know so clearly, Su Su, seeing that you came to Beimu to know the things of Beimu are also very good, even if you are from Beimu, no one will not believe it. Helian Qingcheng is open-minded, these things have always been overseas, and he has always felt that it is a pity that no one knows, and he has always thought that one day he will let everyone in the world see what the real Beimu is.
Qingcheng, I am a Tianyue person, but it does not prevent me from understanding Beimu, the so-called people have national boundaries, knowledge has no national boundaries, if you want to the long-term development of the country, the exchanges between countries, especially the exchange of cultural knowledge, are particularly important, the so-called take people's strengths to make up for their own shortcomings. Do you think that's right? He only has admiration for Helian Qingcheng, and has no other meaning, although he has always been aware of his thoughts, but since he doesn't have that meaning, he shouldn't let him have unnecessary misunderstandings, so he not only diverts the topic but also hints at his own thoughts.
What Su Su said was not wrong, so Xiao Wang came uninvited this time, in order to achieve the friendship between Beimu and Tianchen! Gao Changgong answered in a timely manner, firstly, he didn't want to watch Helian Qingcheng show his heart to Lan Susu, if he said that he was the prince of a country, now he was just a merchant woman, it would be very difficult to refuse him, and now is a critical period of trade, I am afraid that if I refuse him, then trade will not be able to continue, and secondly, since he is here, it is very inappropriate if he does not show his attitude.
That's what I mean, Brother Changgong and Su Su came from afar, let me arrange the accommodation of the two today, and then wait for me to quickly enter the palace to tell my father the emperor, choose a day to meet the two, and then hold a dinner party for the two to wash the dust, today I will be wronged two, I will set a seat in the best restaurant in the northern capital in the evening, and invite the two to enjoy the light. Although she has not been in contact with Lan Susu for a long time, Helian Qingcheng also knows that she is an extremely assertive woman, and now if she does too much, it will not only affect trade, but I am afraid that I will never have the opportunity to get close to her again.
So thank you Brother Qingcheng. Gao Changgong didn't shirk either, Lan Susu didn't answer, in Beimu, he and Gao Changgong represent Tianyue, that is, Fengchen, no matter what he says or does, he will be prosperous and lossy, and he also needs to be cautious in his words and deeds for the diplomacy of the two countries.
Helian Qingcheng saw that the two of them had the same opinion, and there was a trace of bitterness in his heart when he behad a tacit understanding, if he had met her earlier, it would have been good if he had met her earlier, but fortunately, he still had a chance before it was too late, and he arranged for the two to stay in a post house dedicated to receiving VIPs, originally Lan Susu's identity was not qualified to live in this post house, but because he came to trade with Beimu on behalf of Tianyue, and walked with Gao Changgong, he was also arranged to live here, and after arranging the two of them, Helian Qingcheng quickly rode into the palace to report to Emperor Beimu that the envoy of Fengchen Kingdom came, The news that he has been trading with the sky and the moon. At the same time, he also instructed his little servant to go to Qionghualou, the best restaurant in the northern capital, to set the most luxurious box for Gao Changgong and Lan Susu.
In the post house, Helian Qingcheng had just left, and Lan Susu found Lan Ruofeng.
Ruofeng, you go to the goods we brought to get a good white silk for me, and then help me purchase the materials on the list. Lan Susu has always been concise in her words and deeds, she directly instructed Lan Ruofeng, and handed him a list, Lan Ruofeng is a person who has been trained by herself, and his ability is very clear to himself, even in a strange place like Beimu, it is not difficult to buy the things on the list.
It's Miss, I'll do it right away. took the burden and just glanced at it, Lan Ruofeng quickly turned around and left, and went to handle the things that Lan Susu ordered, the things on the list were framed, but I didn't know what Miss wanted to frame, but I always did what I should do, and I didn't ask what I shouldn't ask.
Seeing Lan Ruofeng leaving, Lan Susu turned around and entered his room, took out the pictures that he drew on the boat that were crisscrossing and full of lines from the box in the collection and sorted them out one by one, and in calculating the relative proportions, this nautical chart has been surveyed, although it can't be said that the accuracy is 100% After all, he doesn't have those advanced instruments to assist him, but he is still sure of the accuracy of 95%, and now what he has to do is to gather these drawings into a complete picture, For himself, this nautical chart is a stepping stone for himself to enter the countries of Beimu and Tianyue, and the secret of having such a thing in his hand cannot be kept, rather than waiting for them to come to the door to seize it, it is better to take the initiative to send it, or the royal family of Beimu and Tianyue countries will each send a copy, so that no one can say anything, but the most important thing is, of course, only he can know, this nautical chart is important, and he can only draw and frame it himself by himself by pretending to be the hands of others, fortunately, his grandfather in his previous life likes to frame calligraphy and painting very much, I also learned from my grandfather, otherwise there is really no way.
In the blink of an eye, Jin Wuxi was sinking, it was almost sunset, Lan Susu was still in the room calculating the ratio of the chart, this was a meticulous job, fortunately, no one came to disturb her in the afternoon, just when she was almost ready to take a break, Gao Changgong and Helian Qingcheng came over together, and these two people really had to fight for everything. Lan Susu shook his head helplessly.
Susu, what are you busy with? Helian Qingcheng has always been straightforward and fast-talking.
I didn't have to sort out the pictures painted on the ship. Rubbing his eyebrows for an afternoon of mental work still made him a little tired, Lan Susu did not avoid the two of them when he arrived, this chart will meet the two sooner or later, and it is not a secret to them, and now it is just a piece of paper with messy lines, and the two of them can't see anything.
Brother Qingcheng has already entered the palace to tell Emperor Beimu about our coming, Emperor Beimu decided to meet us in three days, Susu, are you tired? Seeing that Lan Susu's face was not good, Gao Changgong was a little worried, he couldn't eat or sleep well on the boat, and Lan Susu was a woman and her body was thin.
I'm fine, just a little tired. Lan Susu shook his head. Just eat something and get some sleep, what do you have to do with me.
Su Su, you are really a noble person who forgets things, I said that tonight in the best restaurant in the northern capital, Qionghua Lou, invited you and Brother Changgong to dinner, only half a day, you forgot about it. Helian Qingcheng shook his head, could it be that she was so weightless, and she turned around and forgot what she said?
It turned out that this was the case, Lan Susu remembered that Helian Qingcheng had said such things in the afternoon, and he didn't take it to heart when he thought about the chart. I'll leave when I'm packed. Lan Susu put away the drawings on the table and put them in the box, and then followed the two out of the post house, walking on the street, the shadows of the three of them were entangled and stretched for a long time.
Because the baby has been sick, the night is very noisy, very late to sleep, the light moon did not save the manuscript, so very late to write, hurry up or more than twelve o'clock, you are really sorry, when this is more than 11.6, today will try my best to a more, thank you for your support
