Chapter 201 Golden Continent, Fusang Silver Mountain

"I have to simmer for a while, let the wolf meat absorb the soup, then it will taste better!

What a pity! No chili peppers!

Otherwise, it tastes even better! Zhang Junping deliberately sighed.

"Chili? What is a chili pepper? Why haven't I heard of it? Xia Linsheng was very cooperative, and came to a soul three questions.

"Chili peppers are grown on distant overseas continents, and their fruit has a spicy taste, similar to dogwood, and is a very magical fruit! It can dispel dampness and cold, and can make dishes more delicious! ”

"How can there be such a miraculous fruit?" Xia Linsheng followed Zhang Junping's words and asked.

However, it is clear that he is not very interested in the miraculous fruit in Zhang Junping's mouth.

In the distant overseas continent, the fruits that can only make food delicious really make Xia Linsheng not interested.

As the military and political governor of Dengzhou Mansion, although he has not read much, Dengzhou Mansion, as one of the treaty ports of the Great Song Dynasty, Xia Linsheng is very aware of the danger of going to sea.

Every year, many merchants from the feudal kingdoms would cross the ocean to the Great Song Dynasty to do business, but according to those feudal merchants, every time they came to the Great Song Dynasty, they had to risk their lives.

In order to just see the prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty, appreciate the style of Shangguo, and learn the culture of Shangguo.

However, since Zhang Junping has provoked this topic, how can he easily expose it.

"Actually, chili peppers are just an insignificant fruit in overseas continents!

That overseas continent is full of gold and silver, so it is also called the Golden Continent! ”

"Gold and silver everywhere? How did Zhang Zhixian know? Li Shijin couldn't help but ask.

"My master has traveled the world in order to comprehend the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and his old man has not only been to the Golden Continent, but also to the African continent where Kunlun Nu lives, and the European continent where white people live!" Speaking of his master, Zhang Junping had reverence on his face.

"It turned out that the old fairy said it, but I didn't expect that the old fairy had been to so many places!" Li Shijin listened to Zhang Junping's words and said suddenly.

"Is it really full of gold and silver?" This time, Xia Linsheng became interested.

"What my master said, naturally, is true!

In order to comprehend the avenue of heaven and earth, my master has traveled to every place in the world!

For example, in Fuso Country, which is not far from us, my master once traveled on Fuso Island!

He once told me that the ancestors of Fusang were the 3,000 boys and girls led by Xu Fu when he went to sea! ”

"Zhang Zhixian, your rhetoric is not right!

Of course, I'm not questioning the old immortals!

Really, I have seen Fusang people, those Fusang people are short and ugly, so can they be the descendants of the three thousand boys and girls led by Xu Fu? Han Tongju couldn't help but retort on the side.

"Han Tong judged that I don't know anything!

Our Great Song Dynasty has had a customary rule since ancient times, that is, the same surname is not allowed to intermarry!

Why?

Because of intermarriage with the same surname, there are more fools or other congenital disabilities in the offspring!

On the island of Fuso, there were only 3,000 boys and girls, and at first there were nothing.

But after two or three generations, there will be a situation where blood is connected and close relatives get married!

What's more, the three thousand boys and women led by Xu Fu were all young children when they went to sea, and they didn't understand etiquette, and once they went overseas, they lost the constraints of etiquette!

What will be the situation, with the wisdom of Han Tongju, you should be able to imagine it! Zhang Junping smiled mysteriously and whispered: "It is said that there are many children in Fusang Country who only know their mothers, but who their fathers are!" ”

"How can there be such a thing?"

"Huh! There are many interesting things to know about Fuso!

I can't finish talking about it for a while!

For example, they call themselves the Land of the Rising Sun!

But I didn't know that in the vast sea, there were several continents in the east of the Wa Kingdom that were countless times larger than Fusang!

The Golden Continent I mentioned earlier is just east of Fuso!

The arrogant and ignorant Fuso thinks that he is in the easternmost part of the sky, the land of the rising sun!

During the period of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, the king of Fusang Kingdom once called himself the Son of Heaven of the rising sun and the Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty in a book to Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty.

At that time, Emperor Yang of Sui was busy cleaning up Goguryeo, otherwise he would have to teach the Fusang people a lesson! ”

"I know what you said, it's recorded in the history books!

It's just that you say that the Fuso people only know their mothers, but not their fathers, this is a bit exaggerated, right? ”

"Han Tongju, what I said was before, the Fusang Kingdom was called the Wa Kingdom before the Tang Dynasty!

It's because they're short, ugly, and uneducated!

However, since the Han Dynasty, the Wa Kingdom and our Central Plains have done business many times, and the culture and etiquette of our Central Plains have gradually been introduced to the Wa Kingdom!

That's why the chaotic life of only knowing his mother and not his father before will end!

In fact, you can also tell one or two from the surname of the Fuso people!

For example, Inobe, Inoue, Yamaguchi, Murakita, Fujita, Ogura......" Zhang Junping smiled mysteriously.

It's a pity that Zhang Junping said that this stalk on the street in later generations was not understood by anyone in the era of the Great Song Dynasty, which is equivalent to vain speech.

Seeing that Xia Linsheng, Li Shijin, and Han Lingcheng were at a loss, Zhang Junping didn't bother to explain.

When the four of them were talking, Zhang Junping had already cleared the scene and cleared a space for them to speak.

Seeing that there was no one around, Zhang Junping changed the topic back again, "Forget it, don't mention this!"

The reason why I talk about Fuso is because on that Fuso Island, there is a silver mountain! ”

"Is that true?" Xia Linsheng asked in unison.

The Golden Continent is ethereal, and they don't know if it's true or not, so the three of them just listen to it as a story and legend.

However, Fuso is different.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is close at hand, and a large number of Fuso people come across the sea every year.

There were also many Song people who crossed the sea to Fusang.

This time, Xia Linsheng and the three of them were really moved.

If you can move the silver mountain of Fusang Island back and dedicate it to the official family, it will definitely be okay to pay homage to the prime minister, and it is not impossible to be a king.

In the process of transporting the silver mountain, they can also gain a lot.

In short, the three of them are really moved.

"Nature is true! Originally, the lower officials didn't believe it!

Therefore, I didn't dare to tell the official family before!

It wasn't until he came to Muping that the lower officials sent someone to inquire about the news and learned some information from the people of Fusang who came and went to our country, and he knew that it was true! ”

"Do the people of Fuso know that they have silver mountains in their country?"

"The people of Fuso didn't know that there was a silver mountain on the island, and that silver mountain was hidden in a big mountain!

However, in addition to that silver mountain, there are many silver mines on Fuso Island!

The people of Fuso often exchange silver for the copper coins of my Great Song Dynasty!

I also had some merchants in the Great Song Dynasty who went to Fusang to exchange silk porcelain, copper coins and other things for silver!

With a little attention, you can find out! ”

"So what are you waiting for?

This official will send troops to Fusang and move that silver mountain back! Xia Linsheng shouted impatiently.
