Chapter 163: Privilege, Isn't It Fragrant?
Li Luo and Cui Xiuning are simply busy. After returning, he made various arrangements, and the next afternoon he left Ganghwa and went to Kaeseong, the king of Goryeo.
Li Luo's position in the Birthday Celebration Mission is the translator of Wupin Fengjie, and according to the regulations, in addition to carrying his wife and son-in-law, he can only bring four guards with knives at most, and four attendants without knives.
Therefore, for the sake of safety, in terms of candidates, Li Luo can be described as painstaking. Because of the limited number of guards, Li Luo could only choose the person with the highest force value.
Yan Falcon, Yan Tong and the others are very loyal, but after all, they are still teenagers, and they still lack a lot in terms of force value.
After thinking about it, Li Luo decided to bring Du Lie, Utu, Liu Tuo, and Han Shao as guards with knives. Although Guangxia and Xiao Bei have a high force value, they are also responsible for training Xiangyong, and they can't leave at all.
Four retinues without knives can't just be counted. Because these four people couldn't carry knives, Li Luo chose four private soldiers with good fists and feet.
plus Cui Xiuning, a group of ten people, after crossing the sea to the east coast, they took an ox cart and traveled.
Along the way, it is definitely not the autumn light that is quiet, and the singing and dancing are leveling. Instead, hunger and poverty are everywhere, and the roads are restless. Many villages are deserted, but the dock forts and manors of the family are peaceful and prosperous.
"In the feudal era, the country could not be without the clan (nobility). Bureaucratic societies such as the Song and Ming dynasties were too flat and could easily be conquered by foreign forces. The nobility had the strongest sense of national identity and was very organized. Therefore, the country dominated by the aristocracy is difficult to conquer. ”
In the carriage of the ox cart, Li Luo said to Cui Xiuning.
"But in everything, there must be a disadvantage and a disadvantage. Of course, the hereditary race is conducive to maintaining national stability and cultural vitality. However, in turn, he devoured the country's resources, squeezed the civilian space, and severely tore the society, resulting in a huge gap between the rich and the poor and a huge power differential. Sooner or later, it's over. ”
Cui Xiuning said: "You have made similar comments a few times. I can see that you despise a bureaucratic society like Song Ming who relied on imperial examination officials to govern the world. But I don't see how strong an aristocratic society like the Sui and Tang Dynasties can be, it's not just as messy. ”
Li Luo shook his head, "Song Ming is not the system has improved. It's about technology and production that have advanced. The system of the Sui and Tang dynasties, coupled with the technology and productivity of the Song and Ming dynasties, was the king and the hegemon. ”
"The Sui and Tang dynasties were restricted aristocratic eras, which were more suitable than the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, where the aristocracy was unrestricted, and the Song and Ming dynasties, which eliminated the aristocracy. The Sui and Tang dynasties seemed to be extensive, but the grassroots mobilization force threw off a few streets in the Song and Ming dynasties, and the imperial power was able to go to the countryside. And Song Ming seems to be a lot more refined, but he can't control the biggest basic plate: the grassroots. ”
Cui Xiuning waved her hand, "Okay, Miss Ben won't argue with you about this." I'm sleepy, so I want to squint for a while and borrow my shoulder. ”
Li Luo suddenly choked up. Woman, it's really boring! Whenever he gushes about these points, Cui Xiuning always lacks interest at the right time, either sleeping or flashing.
No wonder some people say that women are animals that are insulated from topics such as politics and ethnicity. Women who are interested in these two topics belong to the existence of one in ten, and will definitely write.
Wangjing Kaicheng is in the north, but it is not too far all the way, less than 200 miles. Li Luo and the others set off at noon on the 13th, hurried slowly, and came outside Kaesong on the afternoon of the 14th.
Kaesong belongs to Gyeonggi-do, also called Kaegyong and Songgyeong, and has always been the capital of the Goryeo Dynasty, so the city wall was built very majestically. But this did not prevent it from being occupied by the Khitans, by the Mongols, and even later by the Red Turban Army at the end of the Yuan Dynasty.
Under the tall city walls, there was already a long queue, which seemed to be "security checks", but in fact it was a collection of entry taxes.
"Get out of the way!" When the cow bell rang, two luxurious ox carts "cut in line" unscrupulously, but no one dared to say anything.
Looking at the family crest on this ox cart, who in Goryeo doesn't know that the nobleman of the Kim family in Inju is in the car?
Kim's ox cart not only cut into the queue, but also entered the city without paying the entry tax, and even the officers guarding the city saluted the ox cart.
It seems that the person in this car may be an acquaintance. Li Luo couldn't help but show an inexplicable smile.
"What are you laughing at?" Cui Xiuning asked, she didn't know when she woke up, the hair in her ears was sticking to her lips, and it was rare to look sleepy-eyed and ignorant.
Her appearance has been processed and has become more ordinary, but she is still more beautiful than the average woman.
"You may meet acquaintances." Li Luodao.
Han Shao came to the car and asked, "Lang Jun, should we also go in directly?" "This time, Li Luo stipulated that he should be called Lang Jun uniformly.
Li Luo nodded, "Go in directly." We can't afford to fall into the name of the Li clan in Renzhou, hehe. Now his ox cart is marked with Li Valve's family crest.
"Get out of the way!" The private soldier driving the ox cart is awesome this time. He scolded the Goryeo people who lined up to enter the city, and learned from the Kim ox cart and cut directly into the queue.
Everyone avoided it, and they didn't dare to speak. Because, Li Valve's family crest, they also know it!
When the officers and soldiers defending the city saw the orchids on the ox carts, they not only immediately got out of the way, but also kept saluting.
Cui Xiuning whispered: "We are enjoying privileges. ”
Li Luo smiled: "Privilege, isn't it fragrant?" ”
"Incense." Cui Xiuning also laughed, who wants to queue up for such a long time, of course she can't wait to get in quickly.
Entering Wangjing, lifting the curtain to see, sure enough, it is not less prosperous than Hanyang, and the majestic and magnificent is still excessive, the shops are lined up, the traffic is busy, and it is very lively.
Kaegyung was built by Emperor Hyeonjong of Goryeo with more than 300,000 people and spent three years to build, and it was one of the largest cities in the world. There are twenty-two gates in Kaijing, and Li Luo's ox cart enters from Yingyang Gate and walks on Anhe Road.
Soon, Kim's ox cart noticed Li Luo's ox cart behind him, and then a man in Chinese clothes ordered the ox cart to stop, and then got out of the cart and came to Li Luo's ox cart.
The Jin family and the Li family are in-laws and have been friends for generations, so of course it is impossible to say hello when they meet.
The man in fancy clothes approached, looked up, and stopped.
"It's really a place where you don't meet in life!" The man sneered.
Li Luo snorted coldly, sure enough, it was Jin Guangxian, and it was really a narrow road.
"Jin Langjun, are you here to get in my way?" Li Luo smiled faintly.
Jin Guangxian put his hands behind his back and raised his chin slightly, "Speaking of which, I am also your brother-in-law." Li Luo, you are sitting in a high car at this time, so rude, do you know? ”
Suddenly, a crisp female voice came from the ox cart in front: "Second brother, which Langjun of the Li family is it?" ”
Jin Guangxian smiled: "Who else can there be?" It's that Li Luo Li Goro! ”
Soon, a delicate and lovely little lady jumped off the ox cart and walked over with a spring breeze on her face.
"Brother Li Luo, it turned out to be you!" This smiling and moaning, like an old woman, is not Jin Guangruo?
Li Luo nodded, "It turned out to be a little lady Jin, it's really a coincidence." ”
Cui Xiuning in the car, who had already heard the man's voice outside, was the golden light offering who wanted to rob himself as a concubine in Chuandeng Temple last year.
But the woman's voice outside, she heard it for the first time.
Listening to the woman's tone, she seems to be very familiar with Li Luo.
However, Cui Xiuning still did not show his head. In fact, her appearance has been disguised, and her appearance has decreased a lot. Even if she shows up, Jin Guangxian may not know her.
Jin Guangruo looked at Li Luo, her smile gradually faded, and the coldness in her eyes couldn't be concealed.
