The Prime Minister of Xia strongly promoted the "Juntian Redemption Law", which caused strong dissatisfaction among the Kwantung gentry, but after all, a large amount of silver money was continuously injected into Luoyang. The Chamber of Commerce of wealthy businessmen and giants also set up a chamber of commerce to discuss the affairs of the chamber of commerce's autonomous region. Because Luoyang City is large, there is already an inherent commercial pattern in the city, and it is not newly built from a ruin like Chang'an, so the Chamber of Commerce hopes to allocate more than a dozen of the most prosperous neighborhoods in Luoyang City to the Chamber of Commerce for autonomy. A large number of merchants in Guanzhong came to buy goods and money, and the market in Luoyang was as prosperous as flowers and cooking oil.

In April, Luoyang is the season when peonies are in full bloom, and tourists are everywhere. Luoyang peony is the best in the world, and Luoyang famous garden is also the best in the world. Fuzheng Park is also the leader in Luoyang's gardens. In the pond is the living water that is drawn from outside the garden, in addition to the famous peony, there are also planted large pieces of bamboo, the pond side is built with the spring pavilion, the Fangliu pavilion, the purple Qi Hall, there is the shade pavilion in the flower path, the platform of appreciation, the heavy wave Xuan, etc., the garden also piles up the rockery, the structure of the cave, the water canal. More than ten steps to change a scene, often winding paths, there is no fun.

Fuzheng Park is the residence built by Fu Bi, a famous minister of the Song Dynasty, in Luoyang, about a few decades ago, every time the peony is in full bloom, the garden will be opened to invite the gentry and celebrities in Luoyang City to come to enjoy the flowers, and there is an endless stream every day. In front of the hall, there are two women standing on the waterfront platform, admiring the flowers, while watching four children lying on the edge of the pond and teasing the flower carp with dog's tail grass. One of the two women has a beautiful face, the other is graceful and luxurious, and the maidservants and guards stand around the Sijingtang, blocking the idlers and others, which is quite eye-catching. Visitors can't get close, so they can only point at a distance and guess which dignitary's relatives come out to play. Although the guards were angry, as long as they didn't have the strength to enter the Sijing Hall, they couldn't really drive these Luoyang people away.

Zhang Caiwei looked at the spring in the garden and said regretfully: "There is no need to disturb the people so much, but there are some desperate people who have taken risks in the recent purchase of Juntian. Now that there is a large army of the imperial court suppressing it above, and the people who are farming below have gained tangible benefits, those opponents clearly dare not oppose the imperial court, but secretly advocate something 'ambush the corpse of the two, and the blood will flow five steps.' So Chisato must let me take these guards with me. As the representative of the Xia State in Kanto and the main supporter of Juntian's new policy, Chen Chong, the envoy of the Luoyang regiment, was the target of public criticism. Zhang Caiwei secretly felt sorry for Chen, and said hatefully, "These sinister and vicious rats who hide their heads and shrink their tails. ”

The crown princess pulled Li Ruoxue out of the garden, originally to comfort her, but she didn't hear a word of complaint from Li Ruoxue, but later, it became Li Ruoxue with a smile on her face, quietly listening to Zhang Caiwei. After Zhang Caiwei finished complaining, she realized that something was wrong, and smiled awkwardly: "Actually, these people are nothing, and the most hateful ones are those fools who see things differently." She shook her head and said, "However, if you are as angry as Li Sihai and Lin Jingwan, the two couples will not see each other for several years, and it is not a solution." You don't know, Li Sihai and Lin Jingwan are awkward, Li Yong doesn't even have a wife, the Bowanghou family has been passed down to this generation, and Mrs. Li is so anxious that she is like something, but these two guys are not worry-free. ”

Zhang Caiwei pouted and said about the Li brothers, as if they were older generations, in fact, Chen Chong, Li Sihai and her age are similar, and they were companions in the Linquan Palace when they were children. Li Ruoxue's eyebrows frowned slightly, and she heard the implied meaning of her words, but she didn't say a word, and there was a faint sadness between her eyebrows.

Seeing this, Zhang Caiwei sighed, she was entrusted by Chen Chongzhi to persuade Li Ruoxue, she was not very happy, and said when she saw this: "However, the stinky problem of the three wives and four concubines of the Kanto man can no longer be connived at today." As soon as she said this, Zhang Caiwei saw Chen Si leaning out of the platform with half of his body and reaching out to catch something in the water, Zhang Caiwei scolded him loudly, turned his head again, and said indignantly: "The Zoroastrian and Nestorianan religions in the river are forbidden for men to marry more, and in the past two dynasties, Your Majesty has also favored the queen and has no other concubines. Our women are getting tougher and tougher, and the Li family and the Great Food Country are married, and we don't dare to force Li Sihai, for fear of forcing this guy to be in a hurry, so we simply believe in the Great Food Sect. can only let Jingwan mess with him, this battle is over, it is estimated that Li Sihai should also pay attention. ”

Li Ruoxue didn't know what she meant by persuasion, Zhang Caiwei took her hand and said, "Chen Chong asked me to persuade you to come, but I think you should give the man a little color." She looked at Li Ruoxue's surprised expression, lowered her voice and said, "The queen mother has sent an order to my brother, because my sister did not agree to his remarriage, we do not recognize the matter between him and the princess of the Song Kingdom, General Zhao's Yulu is directly sent to my sister for household purposes, no matter what future he has in the Song Kingdom, the title and property in the Xia Kingdom are only given to my sister's children, and no one else can get anything." This kind of thing, we women should stand together. ”

Li Ruoxue looked at Zhang Caiwei with wide eyes, and sighed faintly for a long time: "Sister Xie is kind." ”

............

In the Ryukyus, there were rums of war and roars among the Vaishye tribes.

A few days ago, a large group of officers and troops landed in the Ryukyus and demanded from the Visheya tribe the population they had taken from Pinghu in the past, but the tribe gave an arrogant refusal, and a fierce battle ensued between the two sides. Although the officers and soldiers failed to enter the tribe, the tribal warriors suffered many casualties. The officers and soldiers even set up camp not far away, and once they found that a small group of people or the old and weak were going out, they immediately sent people to intercept them and lock them up for the Vaishya tribe to exchange for the Song people they had taken captive. However, more than half of the people taken captive by the Vaishya tribe from Pinghu were killed and sacrificed, and some were sold to the tribes in the mountains.

Before the arrival of reinforcements, the battle between the Song Dynasty officials and the Vaishya tribe was at a stalemate. Although the number of officers and soldiers is small, but the sword is fast, every day to send people to intercept and challenge the Visheya people, these ten days, whenever the Visheya people try to plant or pick, the Song camp will rush out a group of men and horses to harass, so that the Visheya people are very low. The actions of the Song army have seriously interfered with their lives of planting, hunting, fishing, and gathering.

The camp of the Song army is not far from the village of the Visheya tribe, and you can overlook the fields of Fanbu. The people of Ryukyu Island are still in the stage of slash-and-burn farming, and large fields and woodlands are intertwined. The trees in the fields were not cut down, the tall trees were kept because they were difficult to cut down, and the small trees left stumps as high as calf-highs, and the trees were burned with the marks of fire. After two or three years of cultivation, the original trees and weeds grow again, and then they will fallow for four or five years, and then slash and burn again. The climate of Liuqiu was mild, and the islanders did not have the habit of storing too much food, so they went to the fields to dig some taro and go up the mountain to collect some game, where could they withstand the harassment tactics of the Song army.

Unable to defeat the official army by relying on the warriors of the clan alone, the patriarch Bai Lin sent people to ask for help from more than a dozen large tribes nearby, including those who had lived in the mountains for generations. In order to obtain better armor and weapons, the patriarch Bai Lin even sent an envoy to the Han camp on the island. Before the reinforcements gathered in large numbers, the battle between the Vaishya warriors and the Song army continued every day.

Hundreds of Yi warriors challenged outside the camp. Ding Ban reported to the above, and led two hundred sword and shield men to meet the battle.

Ding Ban put on the chain mail, felt his shoulders sink, and grinned and laughed at himself: "I haven't worn this thing for too long, it's really sinking." "Tie the wide leather belt around your waist, and the weight of the lower half of the armor falls on your waist, and your shoulders feel better. Ding Ban waved his arms, feeling that his actions were unhindered, so he slapped his waist knife and shouted, "Go, teach those ghosts a lesson." The soldiers replied loudly, stood up, and there was a sound of gold and iron in the middle of the action. On the ship, the musketeers and sword and shield bearers could only wear the lightest crotch armor, with a piece of iron armor on the chest and leather armor on the back, which had to be removed in the shortest possible time if they fell overboard in battle. When fighting ashore, the sword and shield bearers need to wear another layer of chain mail. Although the armor is a little heavier, it is better to guard against plots and stray arrows.

If it weren't for Zhao Xingde's intention to refrain from advancing, the Song army would have swept away several large tribes on the shore long ago. Although the Yi people on Ryukyu Island are fierce and warlike, the armor and weapons are too simple compared with the Song army, and even the bandits in the southeast are not as good. The place where Ding Ban was stationed was only the former village where the Yi people were harassed, and there were three similar villages, and the captured Yi people were escorted to the large camp near the sea. This is still a reference to the practice of Yajiaoxing hunting black slaves in the southwest sea, and it is fast and safe to catch people.

Once the captives were sent to the Song army camp, screening began immediately. The high-ranking people of the Vaishya tribe often wore pearl decorations on their linen clothes, while the common people had only shells and corals. According to the differences in clothing, various people were divided into separate detentions in order to disrupt the original hierarchical order of the captives, and then selected a very small number of Yi who could communicate orally with the Song to be educated. There were countless sour scribes in the Great Song Dynasty, but there were not many people who really read the classics. Among the officers of the Navy Division, those who are familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics can be called the head of all armies, but Zhao Xingde also has few people who can widely educate and educate the Fan Department as Han Ningshuang said. There was no other choice, he could only try Li Yong to take every opportunity to lay a foundation for the Han army to subdue the Liuqiu troops in the future.

The sound of the waves crashing on the shore, and in the prisoner camp, Aji asked in a strange accent: "Mr. Zhao said that it is not a strange thing to sacrifice one's life for righteousness, people all want to live, they don't want to die, even if it is to live one more day, otherwise, how can we people be captured by you?" He looked directly at Zhao Xingde with offense, shook his head and said, "You and those of us who are greedy for life and afraid of death say 'sacrificing life for righteousness', which is simply playing the piano to the cow and talking in vain." The Visheya men were proud of killing and ashamed of living, and when they heard Aji's words, the Visheyas bowed their heads one by one, some with blank expressions, and some with ashamed expressions.
