Before coming to Jiazhou, Lu Ning went to Guizhou for a trip, and when he came to Jiazhou, it was a bright spring in February.

Jiazhou is one of the most important towns in the southwest of Sichuan and Shu, and the Song Dynasty was promoted to Jiading Mansion, and the Yuan Dynasty was all the way to govern.

Today's Jiazhou is the gateway to the city of Dali, southwest of Jiazhou, across the Dadu River, is the border of Dali.

At present, the relationship between Daqi and Dali seems to be extremely close.

As in history, the Duan clan has always wanted to be canonized in the Central Plains.

The Northern Song Dynasty in history, it is perfunctory about this, that is, I don't want to have any connection with Dali at all, everyone forgets each other, it is really Song is very jealous of Dali, because Dali is the continuation of Nanzhao, and many people in the Song Dynasty think that Tang seems to have died in the Huangchao and died in the Anshi Rebellion, but in fact it died in Nanzhao, because a large part of the Tang Dynasty's energy was involved in the battle with Nanzhao, which cost the people and money, and made frequent border turmoil in the southwest.

Dali de jure inherited the land of Nanzhao, the monarchs and ministers of the Song State, and they were extremely jealous of it.

In fact, the Dali Kingdom in later generations because of the popular relationship, giving people the impression of weakness, but compared with Nanzhao, the national strength is not necessarily much weaker, but the rulers of Dali are not as barbaric and aggressive as Nanzhao, and they consider themselves the descendants of the Han people, and advocate the relatively moderate Central Plains Buddhism, and there is no intention to invade the Central Plains.

But the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty did not have God's perspective, so how could they know this? Dali's request for canonization has never been available, but he doesn't want to have any actual relationship with Dali.

After Dali sent envoys more than ten times, it was not until the time of Song Huizong that he finally canonized the lord of Dali.

And Lu Ning last year, he had already named Duan Sushun, the lord of Dali, as "Doctor Jin Ziguanglu, Inspector Sikong, Yunnan Jiedu Envoy, Shangzhu State, and King of Dali".

In this way, the Duan family was naturally overjoyed, and there were fewer economic and trade restrictions between the two sides.

Of course, in fact, trade between the two sides is limited to the two sides of the border.

Lu Ning has no interest in making Dali open a national free trade for the time being, after all, Donghai Baixing is completely disdainful of the market here, the road is too difficult to travel, and it does not have special products that Daqi does not have, and it cannot sell its people as slaves, so it is not worth wantonly operating.

Most of the people who operate the trade of Dali are the wealthy families of Sichuan and Shu.

The Tang family is one of them, who was originally from the Sichuan Shu Wang clan, and now there is a daughter of the family, who is already in the position of the head of the academy in the capital, not to mention, this academy is still a royal background.

And Lu Ning's caravan followed the shopkeeper surnamed Tang, and on the Dali side of the Dadu River crossing, he got the customs clearance documents, and he could travel unhindered in Dali as a merchant of Daqitegong, which was the privilege of the Tang family and other wealthy families, and they had many connections with the four major families of Dali.

The Tang family mainly follows the relationship between the Marquis and the Gao family of Juqiao.

Lu Ning's caravan, with more than 20 horses and camels, was all cloth, which was a very large caravan.

In fact, these cloths Lu Ning was purchased from Sichuan and Shu at a high price, because he brought Tang Yuniang's letter and arrived in Sichuan and Shu in a few days, and it would be too time-consuming to form a caravan early.

Similarly, in order to prepare the goods in a short period of time, Lu Ning used a high-priced purchase method in Sichuan and Shu to transport them to Dali Kingdom, and there was no profit at all, all to save time.

In addition, the accompanying grooms and men were also temporarily hired in Jiazhou, only the shopkeeper Zhang Dayan was transferred to Lu Ning by the Tang family, this shopkeeper Zhang often entered Dali country, and once ran the Tang family's shop in Yangtho Bacheng, the capital of Dali, and was very knowledgeable.

Of course, even the Tang family doesn't know who Lu Ning is, Tang Yuniang's letter is unknown, only saying that this Lu shopkeeper is a friend of her friend, and wants to go to Dali to do business, and wants the clan brother to take more care of him, and Zhang Dayan doesn't know where the "Lu shopkeeper" is.

Daqi, the surname Lu suddenly increased, and the original Lu disciples in Jiangnan seemed to suddenly spread out everywhere, and I don't know if those who call themselves Jiangnan Lu are true.

As for the emperor of his country, there is a rumor that it is the Wu Yue Lu clan, which is recorded in the genealogy.

But the Great Emperor doesn't seem to like things like clans, yes, rumors are just rumors.

Zhang Dayan did his best, it was for the sake of the "Lu shopkeeper" to make a generous move, Dali and his party, it stands to reason that from entering the Dali border to all the goods, and then buying enough musk, Yunnan horses and other turns from Dali, it should not be more than three months, "Lu shopkeeper" promised to pay him a hundred percent of the remuneration, Zhang Dayan and where is he not trying his best to help Zhang Luo?

In addition, there are five barbarian maidservants around Lu Ning, but in the barbarians, they are all extremely beautiful, and they are all very imposing, and a well-informed person like Zhang Dayan is faintly afraid of them.

These five people are the five queens of Ding Buling, Danjia, Zhenming, Jiaoguo, Qu Guo, and Geweng.

Different from the queen of the civilized land, in fact, the five of them are not very pampered, and they used to be good helpers of the Ding department, each of them can lead the dead to kill the enemy, although they are all from a good background, most of them are the daughters of a chieftain, but the environment in which they grew up since childhood, fishing and hunting is an inevitable survival skill, and fighting with foreign clans is a common thing.

There are five of them, Dan Jia is the oldest, and Ge Weng is the youngest, and the age gap between them is not small.

Dan Jia is slightly younger than Lu Ning, about thirty years old, swarthy and short, a typical native barbarian woman in South Lingnan Province, people look very gloomy, and it is she who, under the complete defeat of the remnants of the Ding Leader, simply led a few personal soldiers to kill the Ding Commander, put down the head of the Ding Commander and ask for surrender.

However, her facial features are very exquisite, and she has a good figure all year round, if you ignore her skin color and size, she can be called a big beauty.

The other four daughters, most of the same, are beautiful women, but their size and skin color make them destined not to conform to the aesthetics of the Central Plains.

Among the five queens, the youngest Ge Weng was only twelve or thirteen years old, and he married the daughter of a chief during the rapid rout of the Ding Commander, in order to find a place to live.

This little girl is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and she took the initiative to say to Mi Zhu, who captured her, that in the past two years, Ding Bu Ling has been displaced, and she has been with her father, and Ding Bu Ling is not a husband and wife, and asked General Mi Zhu to declare this to the Emperor of Qi when he was taken prisoner in the capital.

Lu Ning saw it in Mizhu Songshu, and could only shake his head, Annan is barbaric, if they are required by the moral standards of the Central Plains, they are simply treacherous and ruthless.

However, after all, he was curious about them, and when he came to the southwest, he simply ordered Mizhu to send them directly to Sichuan and Shu, instead of doing anything in the capital to offer prisoners.

And Danjia, the five so-called queens of the Ding Dynasty, got the information that the five of them, who were regarded as captured slaves by the royal family, had been auctioned in the capital in advance, but there were few applicants, so they were finally auctioned at a low price by the Lu shopkeeper.

Now the five of them, when they are staring at Lu Ning, sometimes there will be a fierce light in their eyes.

Killing this shopkeeper Lu and escaping is obviously one of the retreats they are considering.

……

Lu Ning's destination is the capital city of Dali, Yang Tho Baa City, but when he entered the border of Dali, he found that his road was not even as good as Guizhou, at least now in Guizhou, there is an official road that runs through the east and west.

In this case, the road will be slow, and the larger towns where you can rest will have to rest well.

The first stop is Jianchang Mansion, which is the Xichang of later generations, as the location of Xiaochun City, the air is fresh and the scenery is beautiful, but now, the simple town makes Lu Ning a little helpless, just this, it is still one of the eight prefectures of Dali, the place of Jianchang Mansion.

Moreover, as one of the eight mansions of Dali, the post house is dilapidated, a few bamboo huts are very simple, and the manger can not tie a few horses, and the grooms and men can only sleep outside and guard the horses.
