As the end of the year approaches, more and more people come to give gifts.

What Liu Wen didn't expect was that there were not only acquaintances who gave gifts this time, but also businessmen who didn't know each other, some of them entrusted various relationships, and some came to the door by themselves, and they did not hesitate to give heavy gifts, just hoping that Liu Wen would remember himself.

And these merchants are not only domestic, but even overseas.

Their intentions are not difficult to understand.

After all, since Soochow, Jiankang is the central city of the newly opened ******. Jiankang's Shijin is an important international wharf connecting the Yangtze River system, the East Asian coast and Southeast Asia, and the number of ships berthing can even reach 10,000. I can't count the number of people who come to do business.

Affected by the topography, the whole of Jiankang City is not square due south and north. If you look at the map, it is calculated according to the north and south, which is a bit like an inverted pear. The Qinhuai River, on the other hand, winds through the city in the south.

Originally, on the north bank of the Qinhuai River, in addition to the four markets in the city, there were nearly 100 markets outside the city. The items traded include grain, salt, cattle and horses, silk, paper, celadon, and even various ores, overseas spices, exotic treasures, etc., and there are countless kinds of goods.

Every day, there is an endless stream of domestic and foreign merchants who come here to trade, and it is extremely prosperous.

However, after the destruction of Chen in the Great Sui, Jiankang's status declined, and it was not even as good as the county, not only did the people lose a large number of people, but all the merchants stayed away from this place.

But this year, Liu Wen was crowned King of Song, and Jiankang became the seat of King Song again.

Although Liu Wen demolished the four markets in the city, he secretly controlled the Purple Shark Gang, revitalized the market outside the city, and even took out some glass beads, glasses and the like himself, and sent people to the market to trade.

After Yang Liang became emperor, many traders began to pay attention to this place.

originally thought that Jiankang would become the capital of the puppet dynasty.

Unexpectedly, it became the seat of the Song Dynasty.

But it doesn't matter, for businessmen, they need a stable business environment, and at the same time, they need a well-connected business place and a more relaxed business atmosphere.

And judging from the current situation, Liu Wen can give them these.

The merchants are not stupid, but they are very shrewd, otherwise they would not have come out to do business.

Many people naturally understand that eighty percent of the precious items that suddenly appeared on the market in Qinhuai River came from the handwriting of this Song king.

Except for a top magnate like him, few people can come up with such treasures.

Therefore, many wait-and-see vendors saw business opportunities and tried to contact Liu Wen.

As for the purpose, it is naturally the collusion of officials and businessmen to make a fortune.

Liu Wen didn't want to deal with these shrewd and slippery businessmen, so he handed over the matter to Feng Dao and let him grasp it.

However, although Feng Dao is good at dancing with long sleeves, he is a little careful.

Liu Wen sometimes couldn't help but think: 'It would be nice to have a talent like Heshen.' ’

this day.

The weather was clear and the blue sky was cloudless.

Che Gong Gong, Ma Xiao Xiao.

A slightly shabby team, escorted by more than 100 elite warriors, marched from the wide official road of Shijin and slowly entered Jiankang City.

On the carriage at the front, the curtain was slightly staggered, and there was a thin man in his forties, silently watching everything outside the carriage.

He was an emissary of the kingdom of Silla.

This time, it also took a lot of effort to make King Song feel sincere and agree to meet him.

Seeing that the original houses and alleys were bustling streets, but now they have become a barren vacant land, and even a military camp in some places, the messenger sighed secretly in his heart.

Jiankang is not the first time he has come.

When he returned to Silla, he told the lord more than once that this was the greatest city in the world.

This city alone in the Southern Dynasty had a population larger than that of Silla alone.

It's just that I didn't expect that such a great city would become so barren in a short period of time, and it would be difficult to find even a piece of rubble as far as the eye could see.

The envoy's mood suddenly became a little apprehensive.

This Song ** Ming is outside, he has heard of it.

And he has been following the Celestial Empire for many years, so he naturally knows Yuwen Chengdu, Wu Jianzhang, Wu Tianxi, and even has the honor to see Xiao Maha, who is like the god of war.

But even these peerless generals who are like sheep in the flock of ten thousand armies, even six people can't beat a Song king.

How can this not be astonishing, how can it not be fearful?

There is even a folk legend that this King of Song is three or four feet tall, with three heads and six arms, and an iron face and fangs, and is a fierce god like King Kong in the temple.

Gradually approaching the palace, I saw the surrounding army in full bloom.

The messenger suddenly felt very small.

In Silla, there has never been such a powerful army, even if he is the lord of his country, he is not enough to look at in front of this Song king, what is he worth?

In front of the palace.

He got out of the car with apprehension, led the beauties who had paid tribute, asked his retinue to bring gifts, and walked in with the sergeant.

I saw two groups of soldiers on both sides, from the gate of the street to the main hall of the palace, neatly arranged, as if a straight line, even if they stood there motionless, they exuded an inexplicable majesty.

The envoy followed the sergeant into the main hall with weak legs and feet, and peeked cautiously, only to see that this King of Song was young and handsome, tall and tall, although it was not as terrible as the legend, but his eyes were deep and there was an indescribable majesty.

The messenger seemed to have been drained of all his confidence, fell to the ground with a puff, bowed his head and bowed: "Silla minister, meet the Song King Chitose." As he spoke, he felt that his heart was about to jump to his throat.

Liu Wen looked at it from above, and had a very strange feeling.

It's as if I feel like I'm amazing.

The feeling that this kind of power brings to me is indeed a bit intoxicating.

"Excuse me." Liu Wen said lightly.

"Xie Chitose!"

The Silla envoy got up, took out the letter of state, read it aloud, first expressed the respect of King Jinpyeong of Silla to the King of Song, and then recited the gift list, and asked the entourage to hold the gift for Liu Wen to see, although there were not many things, but the gift list was smelly and long, as if he had really given a lot of great things.

Just when I was about to doze off, suddenly among the Silla women who bowed their heads, a clear cry came out: "Death to the traitor!" ”

Before the words fell, a woman with a fierce face threw out a soft sword and stabbed at Liu Wen like lightning.

"Hush."

Liu Wen chuckled disdainfully, waited until the other party approached, and flicked his finger lightly on the tip of the soft sword, only to hear a crisp sound, and the soft sword broke in response.

The female assassin's originally fierce face was immediately filled with a frightened expression.

This is a soft sword, even if a person with great strength flicks it, it should be shaking back and forth. But Liu Wen flicked a finger on the tip of the sword, and the soft sword was broken in the middle, which is incredible!

The female assassin missed, her legs suddenly flashed clearly, and she flew upside down with a bang, and in the blink of an eye, she was already far away, without any mud and water.

Liu Wen was also slightly surprised.

To be able to do this, it should be wearing something that can perform the art of Qimen Dunjia.

It seems that this woman should have something to do with those immortal people.

Although he showed his real skills, he was able to take her down.

But now that everyone is watching, it is not a good thing for me to show my ability excessively.

So I can only let it go.

Without waiting for Liu Wen to think more, the Silla envoy fell to his knees with a puff: "King Song spares his life!" The minister doesn't know anything! ”

"Alright." Liu Wen said: "I don't blame you, you can't invite such a master with a great background." ”

"Chitose Wise! Thank you Chitose for not killing! ”

The messenger thanked him, and then proceeded with Rory's rambling ritual.
