Chapter 433: A Guest from the South
A good outfit really added a lot of points to Yu Xiu'er, and above the court, everyone was shaken by Yu Xiu'er's equipment, and Sun Xiangfu felt that he had a lot of face.
Then, the canonization of the Taile Order was successfully promulgated, and Li Shimin also authorized Yu Xiu'er to rank in the court class of the Ministry of Rites.
Although Yu Xiuer did not say a word in the court except for the gratitude when she accepted the appointment, it was a cross-era symbol that opened up a possibility for future generations.
The main topic of the court today is the swearing-in parade, the military department Shangshu Hou Junji and the generals of the guards sang the leading role, at the end, Yu Xiuer, who was on duty in the court for the first time, received the task, and the music of the parade ceremony was arranged by her new Taile Ling.
Seeing Yu Xiu'er's excited expression on her face, who participated in national affairs, Sun Xiangfu breathed a sigh of relief, in the future, if her mind was on her own career, she should not be able to encourage herself to be a saint anymore!
Fortunately, Sun Xiangfu was not left by Li Shimin to discuss matters today, and after lunch, he played with the children in the house for a while before he went to Qujiangchi Wharf to greet the guests in Lingnan.
The costumes of Lingnan people in this period are generally very simple, especially in summer, including teenage girls like Ah Yue, a simple silk wraps around the body, and a ribbon on the waist, and it's over, the upper body usually exposes half of the shoulders, and the lower body can show her thighs when walking, as for underwear, Sun Xiangfu estimates that she is not wearing it.
"Ouch, the little girl who gave me lychees every day is now about to grow into an adult."
On the dock, Sun Xiangfu took the lead in waving his hand at Ah Yue, and saw the thin figure running over from the springboard like a wind, ignoring the raised skirt that almost made her go away, and threw herself into Sun Xiangfu's arms.
"Sun, uncle, I miss you so much."
After being tired of being crooked in Sun Xiangfu's arms for a while, Ah Yue looked up at her green little face and said a little timidly.
She understands things more and more, understands Han culture, and already knows some things about etiquette, and the way she looks now is very rude, but dear Uncle Sun doesn't mean to blame her.
"Uncle Sun misses you too, but unfortunately, you have grown up, Uncle Sun can't hold you anymore, quickly introduce me to the guests from Lingnan!"
Sun Xiangfu patted Ah Yue's shoulder and looked at the crowd walking down from the springboard with a smile.
"Lord Sun, it's great to see you again, please allow Ahsan to pay a big salute to his savior······"
"Ahsan, excuse me! I don't like this here, but your Chinese is getting better and better, no wonder the Yue Guild will let you bring people here. ”
Ah Shan, who was about to bow down, helped him up, Sun Xiangfu looked at the leaders of the Lingnan tribes who followed him off the boat with a smile, they were dressed as local tyrants, wrapped in cool silk, and wore all kinds of large gold and silver jewelry, among the Han people, there are few such ostentatious people.
"Uncle Sun, let me introduce you to them!"
Ah Yue jumped and pulled Sun Xiangfu to the leaders of the Baiyue tribes who got off the boat and walked over, at this time, they who don't understand Chinese, they are looking at the surrounding environment in a daze, especially the five-story Wangjiang Tower, which attracts their attention, when they come along the way, they have also seen the grandeur of the prosperous Yangzhou and Luoyang, it is said that this Chang'an is more majestic than Yangzhou and Luoyang, just saw the tip of the iceberg of Wangjiang Tower, they are full of expectations for the entire Chang'an, after being cleaned up by Feng An, they will live the rest of their lives, It's basically eating, drinking, and having fun.
"This is Yu Mi, the leader of the Taishan Yi tribe, this is his eldest son, Yu Shu ······"
"This is Heicha, the leader of the Yazhou Fangren tribe······"
During this period, the Lingnan language family is very complicated, which is why it is difficult for the Baiyue ethnic groups to integrate with each other, although Ah Yue will tell them in their own language after introducing Sun Xiangfu, but they don't understand what Ah Yue is talking about, which leads to just a character introduction, everyone danced on the dock for a long time, and in the end, Sun Xiangfu didn't remember the names of a few people at all.
This situation made Sun Xiangfu sigh in his heart, the road of national integration is still far away! If you think about later generations, even if there are radio and television sets, there are still many locals in the Liangguang region who do not speak Mandarin, which can be seen.
The purpose of sending these people to Chang'an, Feng Ang had already told Sun Xiangfu in his letter that he could not reform them in Lingnan, so he threw them into Guanzhong, and when they lived in a place full of Han people for a long time, they would more or less make some changes.
Soon, Sun Xiangfu took them to the private room of Wangjiang Tower, and then, it was useless to talk, the food made these tribal leaders forget everything for a while, Sun Xiangfu didn't bother to be more polite with them, just helped Ah Yue pick up vegetables, persuaded her to eat more, and asked some Lingnan things.
"Ono and Hei are too big and eat a lot, so it's hard to take them on the boat, and besides, they're so smart now, they always steal the fruits I picked to eat."
"Then you pick the fruit, isn't it just for them to steal it?"
"Hehe, Uncle Sun guessed my mind at once, they still like to play in the water and rub mud on their bodies, but we have a lot of lime in those waters, and there are not so many leeches and bloodsucking insects······"
The two talked about the city of Guangzhou under construction from some daily trivialities, and after a meal, Sun Xiangfu had a clearer understanding of the current situation in Lingnan.
But in terms of various small details, because Feng Ang does not have the insight brought by Sun Xiangfu in later generations, he will generally wait for it to become inconvenient, and Feng Ang will correct the problem, and there will inevitably be some rework or other situations, but it will not hinder the overall development.
Moreover, when this huge city in the eyes of the Lingnan people gradually took shape, the obedience of the Baiyue tribes to Feng Ang became even higher, and the strong were respected, which was prevalent in most barbarian cultures.
After arriving at Sun's mansion, Ah Yue no longer belonged to Sun Xiangfu, Yu Xiuer took over Ah Yue as the hostess, but what really made Ah Yue like it was the two little babies, Sun Xiangfu even saw the expression on Ah Yue's face when she first saw Xiao Hei and Xiao Ye, she seemed to communicate with the two little guys who could only babble and express their emotions, and there was no obstacle at all.
"Uncle De, please take a few people tomorrow, hold my token, and take them to walk around Chang'an, they can buy whatever they like, and it is best to give the merchants in Chang'an City a feeling that they are stupid and have a lot of money."
"Sir, why is that?"
"The various service industries in Chang'an City generally respect the wealthy."
Sun Xiangfu just said simply, Uncle De understood what they meant, when these tribal leaders were respected in Chang'an, then in their hearts, they would not resist the rule of the Han people, with Sun Xiangfu's token, in fact, no one in Chang'an dared not to give face.
When Uncle De led Yumi Heicha and the others to visit the Sun Mansion, which would be amazed no matter who came in, and told them how to use some facilities, outside the Yanping Gate, a group of people from the south entered Chang'an City.
A group of people, but the internal is divided into two groups, one group is headed by the former Baizi king, Li Shimin's Yunnan town guard general Zhang Le Qiujin, and the other group is headed by Meng Shezhao and Shelong, this group of people seems to be quite kind, and what they want to do when they come to Chang'an is something that others can't imagine.
Zhang Le sought advancement, to give up his position as the king of Baizi, the general of Yunnan Zhenshou to Shelong, this time, he personally came to ask Li Shimin to canonize him, and in their hands, they also held the handwritten letter of the general manager of Jiannan Province, Xiao Yu, which was asked for when they went to Shuzhong to visit Xiao Yu before they came to Guanzhong.
Of course, this link is also instructed by Wang Hao, the current situation in Yunnan, it can be said that it is all in the hands of Wang Hao, the people over there are too superstitious, with Wang Hao's wisdom, fool them, there is no need to put much effort into it, just a year or so, he helped Shelong to gain the hearts of most of the people, plus Shelong's own military talent is stronger than Zhang Le's progress, with Wang Hao's support, almost in all aspects of crushing Zhang Le's progress, yes, after some internal consultations, they reached a Zen agreement.
Then, there was a picture of them entering the gate together, and at first, they were all confused, because the picture here was too unreal for them, as if they had entered another world.
They couldn't understand why the wheat fields here were like the water in the Erhai Lake, where they couldn't see the edge at a glance, and the ears of wheat were unusually full.
They couldn't understand why the road here was as smooth as a knife, and why the stone seemed to grow out of the ground, and it was completely seamless.
In Shuzhong, they have seen a lot of Han city passes, but compared with Guanzhong, it is not at the same level at all, when their team came to the foot of Chang'an City, the boundless tall city wall, let them really understand what is called 'Xiongcheng'.
Even Zhang Cheng, who had been in Guanzhong for several years before, was amazed when he saw the current scene, after all, the last time he came to Guanzhong was more than two years ago, at that time, there was a locust plague here, and there were dead people everywhere.
"Shelong Patriarch, General Zhang, it's getting late today, we still need to speed up the pace and check in to the arranged restaurant."
After entering the city gate, Zhang Cheng took everyone all the way to the direction of Wangjiang Tower, he didn't understand why Wang Hao had to let him take these people to live in Wangjiang Tower, but, he was a little strange, how the sky was almost dark, but the clean street drum in Chang'an City did not sound, and most of the original well-defined square walls were actually demolished, and the people were still walking through the streets and alleys at this time, not panicking at all, and even, there were many street corners, some people lit lanterns, it seems, to set up stalls.
That's right, it's a stall, this kind of roadside stall, he saw it once when he went to Shanyang, it doesn't set up during the day, it is open at night, and it sells skewers, drinks and other things, the price is low, and it is specially sold to the common people to eat, is it that now Chang'an is the same as Shanyang?
