Chen Wenhui said: "On my tea bowl is a red-haired beauty holding a plate of lychees. ”

Chen Wenjun hurriedly asked, "What is a lychee?" ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Lychee is a fruit that can be grown in both the tropics and subtropics, it is very delicious, maybe it is grown on Yizhou Island, but as far as I know, this fruit is the most abundant in southern Guangdong." And the land of Nanyue is very close to Yizhou Island. ”

Chen Wenjun frowned and said, "Could it be?" ”

Chen Wenhui said: "I think it's very likely. Big brother, when he was Emperor Guanglie, he once built a sea ship and sailed thousands of miles to the extreme west, where the Hu people lived, and there were blond, blue-eyed, red-haired and white-skinned Hu people who were all over the body and were black or red-skinned. Later, the sea trade was abandoned, and no one in the Central Plains went on a sea trade expedition anymore, but what about this Yizhou Island? The black family has so many talented people, didn't they build a sea ship? Can't they go to sea? Hundreds of years have passed, and it is normal for them to sail to the far west. ”

Chen Wenjun said: "In this way, they have always been in maritime trade. It's just that they have been enjoying the huge benefits brought by the sea trade alone, and they have not shared them with the other three families. No wonder they are so generous to hand over the entire Yizhou Island to the three major families to manage, in fact, they have more, the three major families are the subsidiary families that provide them with salt, sugar, and grain, even if these three families do not supply them, they can also get it from other places through guò sea trade, no wonder, they are so arrogant to the three major families, they all grasp the initiative in trade, they say that the transaction is as much, it is how much, and they do not give the three families equal status at all, and even the army does not let the three families own. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "I was suspicious before, how could they not cooperate with us? We can take them out of this island, and we can trade the specialties of the Central Plains with them. In this way, they can get more materials, and they can better carry out their practice and study their knowledge. But the three families on the island were very welcoming to us, as we see now. They are suffering from being oppressed by the Black Iron City, and once they find that someone can also provide them with farm tools and daily necessities, of course they are very welcome. But Black Iron City is not very good to us, and even let your brother sit on the cold bench. That's because they don't need us. ”

Chen Wenjun said: "I used to think they were arrogant, but now I don't think so, they are the masters of this sea, they have long been ahead of us in maritime trade, so they are so arrogant to us." ”

Chen Wenhui nodded.

Chen Wenjun said: "I thought of these things when I saw that tea bowl yesterday. Therefore, even if we hit them today, we can't negotiate with them according to the original plan, and we can't compare to them now. Originally, our advantage was sea trade, but now it seems. We've only been around for hundreds of years, and it seems like they've been to a lot more places than we are. We have now just reached the kingdom of Wa, Silla, Goguryeo, these are the land of projectiles, among which Silla. Goguryeo is also a peninsula that extends over the Central Plains mainland, but it can be reached by land without taking the sea route, and the resources are limited. And the other party may have reached the Far West, the South Seas. Our only advantage is that we are from the Central Plains, and we can bring them some specialties from the Central Plains. But they seem to have already traded with the people of Nanyue, so our only advantage is gone, how can we negotiate? The other party is strong, and we are weak. ”

Chen Wenhui smiled mysteriously and said, "No, it's because of their strength. It makes me even more happy, so that the subordinates who are subdued will be of greater value, and I will prepare something that will make them useful to us. ”

Chen Wenjun couldn't understand what it was, and asked, "What is it?" ”

Chen Wenhui took out an object.

Outside the inn, the people on the street looked at the gorgeous carriage parked in front of the door, they all knew this carriage, this was the carriage of the city lord's mansion, the carriage was a sturdy groom, and the carriage was followed by a team of soldiers of the Black Iron Army, all of them were magnificent, wearing uniform uniforms, looking heroic.

The onlookers were all talking, and one said, "I wonder which guest lives in this inn?" actually worked the city lord's carriage to pick it up, and the city lord's honor guard. ”

Someone said, "Shouldn't it be the patriarch of the three major families?" No, the three major families have their own houses in the city, and the patriarchs will go to their own houses when they come, where will they stay in the inn? Don't be the big tribe leader of the natives, right? ”

Someone immediately retorted: "Impossible, there are only a few leaders of the big tribes, and they all have houses in Black Iron City, where will they stay in the inn?" Besides, in previous years, when Dabi was in the past, the patriarchs of the three major tribes and the leaders of those big tribes and middle tribes, and even the leaders of more than half of the small tribes would come to Black Iron City to watch, and they didn't see the city lord send a carriage to receive them? It would be good for them to see the city lord and say a few words of greeting, where would they have such courtesy? ”

Just when everyone was talking, finally someone came out of it, first some of the same guards, but with white skin, taller, and different uniforms, and the clothes worn by these guards were different from the uniforms of the black iron city that obviously carried the bright colors that the natives liked, and then there were some capable servants, beautiful maids, these maids were all dressed in silk and satin, with clear eyebrows, delicate hair, and simple but beautiful jewelry. The last to come out was a young man and a young girl. The young man was gentle and handsome, with an extraordinary bearing, wearing a blue embroidered brocade robe, and wearing a piece of jade as precious and extraordinary as mutton fat around his waist. The girl is only in her teens, her eyebrows are picturesque, her skin is as white as jade, she is wearing a brocade robe covered by a glow veil, and she wears a gold bead hairpin ring on her head.

This is the Chen Wenhui brother and sister. With a smile on their faces, they boarded the carriage and headed for the City Lord's Mansion. This time was different from the previous face-to-face meeting. Before, the city lord's mansion said that he could only bring two subordinates, but this time all the entourage can follow, and there is no problem if you want to bring a few.

Therefore, Chen Wenhui and Chen Wenjun selected some people to take with them, leaving some people to stay at the inn, and just took the city lord's carriage and left.

The rest of the onlookers hurriedly asked Xiao Er and the boss of the inn what kind of character he was, so favored by the city lord, so courteous, he must have a strong background. After learning that they were the city lord brothers and sisters of Xinguang City, many people suddenly realized that the other party was also the lord of a city, and they should have this courtesy.

But some people refuted it again, not to mention that Xinguang City is just an emerging city in the north, that is, the patriarchs of the three major families, holding several cities in their hands, have never seen the city lord so polite?

A large number of people don't know that there is a Xinguang City at all, after all, Xinguang City has just been established and is still under construction, where can these people on Yizhou Island, especially the natives, know about Xinguang City. At this time, someone began to explain the qiē of Xinguang City, and for a while, it was equivalent to advertising Xinguang City in Black Iron City.

In the Black Iron City, the three families have their own houses in the city, and they all have permanent clansmen, and the hosts are all figures whose status in the clan is only that of the patriarch, and they all received the report of the eyeliner, and they knew that the city lord's mansion sent the city lord's honor guard, and the carriage went to the inn to pick up people. That man was the lord of Shin Kong City.

The reaction of these three institutions has been mixed. The elder of the Gu family said to the clansmen: "Before, the patriarch said, let's contact the city lord's wife, if the city lord of Xinguang City, the Chen family brothers and sisters, come to Black Iron City, we must try our best to receive them and help them, is it that the city lord is so courteous in the face of his wife?" ”

The clansmen immediately retorted, "Impossible, right? Before, the city lord's wife also said that this matter is very difficult to do, and the city lord will not listen to her. ”

The elder of the ancient family immediately said: "That's really strange, by the way, they went to meet the city lord yesterday, something must have happened, we should send someone to check now, what made the city lord change his attitude." You must know that since trading with Xinguang City, we no longer have to rely on the black family's snort, which must make the black family dissatisfied. Don't target us, what's the matter? ”

The Gu family's manpower immediately took action. Their person is now the city lord's wife, so naturally they can come to hear the news as quickly as possible.

Elders of the Liang family and the Huang family also issued similar orders. In the past, they all had to rely on the black family, the black family occupied a dominant position, the annual transaction volume was set by the black family, and the price was also set by the black family, and they only had to be exploited. Now through Guò Shin Kong City, they can sell their family's supplies in exchange for farm tools, tools, porcelain, silk, tea, and other items they need, as well as a lot of silver.

Such a beautiful situation, the people of the three major families do not want to destroy, and they are all worried that the Black Family will take action, after all, their safety is maintained by the Black Iron Army of the Black Family, and since these Black Iron Army can maintain their safety, they can also pull out their swords and face them.

Therefore, they all began to use their own hands and eyeliner to find out the truth of this matter. The Gu family is the most convenient, they only need to ask the city lord's wife for information. The Liang family and the royal family also have a large number of disciples studying in the Hei family, and even some have become the children of the Hei family, and they have contacted their children to inquire about this matter.

Similarly, the leaders of those big tribes also had men left in Black Iron City, and they were also sensitive to this matter. These natives also have children who study in the black family, and some who have become black family members, and they all contact their own people to make noise.

For a time, the Black Iron City was surging.
