Volume 1 Gu Wusheng Smoke Cloud Chapter 6 Three Points
As soon as everyone saw that it was the prince who appeared with him, with a green jade crown in the ink leaf shirt, and heard that it was the right Taishi Gaozu, they cheered before they listened. When the prince saw that everyone was cheering, he was also very proud, and stretched out his hand to signal quiet.
Everyone immediately fell silent and listened with bated breath.
Su Xiaochen was ordered to sit upright, bowed to everyone, and said loudly:
"The things of the world are changing, and the past and future will eventually go down in history. It is to read history to know the warp and weft, and to know the ancient times can be the present. I am only shallow in the next day, and today I will talk a little about the trend of the world. Today, there are many talented people among you, as you talk about below, you can throw bricks and lead jade, and you can hear about it, and it is even more fortunate. ”
For a while, the little maid who poured the tea also stopped, and listened to him continue:
"According to our own historical records, we all know that the world is divided into three. With Jueling Mountain as the boundary, from west to east, stretching for thousands of miles, the north of the mountain is called the northern frontier, and the south of the mountain is called the southern region. The top of the mountain is frozen all the year round, and the perennial snow melts and flows into a river, with more than 100 large and small tributaries, and finally flows into the Hanjiang River. The Hanjiang River flows into the sea from north to south, dividing the southern land south of Jueling Mountain into two, the west is my Cangwu country, and the east is the blue sea country. My Cangwu country has gone through four generations since the founding of Gaozu, the monarch is benevolent and the ministers are wise, the country is peaceful and peaceful, and there have been few wars in the past hundred years. It is all because Emperor Zhaoren, Emperor Qinwen and the current saints have compassion and are all benevolent lords. ”
When everyone heard this, the prince smiled slightly, and thought: "What a gentleman, benevolence and wisdom, not only did he point to the merits of the Mu Yun family, but he didn't praise your teacher too much, so you are measured." Since I have talked about the affairs of my Li family, I have to show my face and show my talent as a royal descendant of the Li family. So he took over and said:
"What Master Su said is good. I think that at the beginning, my Emperor Gaozu was just a festival envoy of the previous dynasty, and he only had jurisdiction over two states and one government. However, with benevolence as the first, righteousness as the key, and faith as the foundation, it has won the support of the people in a few years. After the chaos of the dynasty, the princes were strife, the people were displaced, and the suffering was unspeakable. At this time, thanks to the benevolence and righteousness of my ancestors, heroes from all walks of life came to gather under the flag, all the way like a bamboo, attacking the city and the ground. In only three years, the thieves were wiped out and the great cause was unified, which was really the destiny of heaven. ”
"Doctor Xun" listened to the tears in his eyes, and shouted: "Prince Shengming!" My Cangwu country can have a peaceful and prosperous world, all because of the benevolence and righteousness of the ancestors! The prince is so eloquent, he really has the legacy of Emperor Zhaoren! Everyone made fun again, and the prince's face was like a spring breeze.
Su Xiaochen thought to himself, yes, the Mu Yun clan who is the best in the world came to vote, and you also said that he came to admire, so he only smiled at the moment.
After a long period of spring breeze, the prince stretched out his hand and stopped admiring: "Everyone, in fact, this national affair must be familiar to everyone here. It's better to ask Mr. Su to talk about other countries. ”
Su Xiaochen took the order and continued:
"To the north of Jueling Mountain is the northern frontier, all of which are desert and bitter land, and there are many large and small tribes in Rongdi. About a hundred years ago, there was a large clan, the leader of which was named Kuguer, who was born with divine power and fought in all directions to unify the entire northern frontier. Khugur then founded the kingdom of Imuran, with the city of Shakoye as its capital, and established himself as the lord of the country, called Khugur Ehun.
Seeing that everyone was puzzled, he explained: "Oh, Oh, Uhun is the Imuran language, which means the lord of the country. ”
Then he said: "Kuguer also worships Wen Mi, the elder of the clan, as the great witch god and assists in the national government. Because the land in the country is barren, but the iron ore is all over the field, so it is good at forging and difficult to eat and wear, although the land is vast, but rely on hunting and nomadism to make a living. ”
"It's a bunch of barbarians, uncivilized savages." Suddenly, someone whispered, and immediately everyone nodded yes, with great disdain in their expressions.
When Su Xiaochen heard this, he felt a little unhappy in his heart. When Uncle You talked to him about the country of Imulan, he once said that the deeds of the previous lords of the country were not just people who drank blood as rumored in the world, but they were all talented and knowledgeable people.
Uncle Youbo once said that Imuram is located in a desert, and the wind and sand are raging, and it is extremely difficult to build a city. But the lord of the country, Kuguer, not only has brute strength, but also ingenuity. In order to stop the endless sand and dust, he actually built the capital of the country underground! Not only that, but he also dug up underground water veins and hot springs, and led them to the lower terrain of the city for irrigation and heating. Thousands of large and small ponds were also created, connecting the ground and bringing sunlight into the ground. Let the wind howl on the ground, but the ground is warm like spring, and the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant. The construction of the city alone is evident in the ingenuity of the Imulans. On the other hand, the people of my Cangwu country are on the safe side, sitting in the well and watching the sky, which is really worrying.
Seeing everyone's situation, the prince coughed lightly twice, and opened his mouth to play a round: "This matter of the Imuran Kingdom has also been talked about by Master Su, but since we are going to Bihai this time, please ask Master Su to talk about the affairs of the Bihai Country again." ”
Su Xiaochen looked at the people present, obviously not interested in the affairs of the Imulan Kingdom, and couldn't help but sigh secretly that Uncle You was worried that there were so many people sitting in the well, and he was a little unhappy in his heart, and it was not easy to refuse clearly, so he said: "In the next word, now that Her Royal Highness the Princess of Bihai Country is here, how can you get an axe, it is better to ask Her Royal Highness the Princess to see it, and I will listen to it." ”
Only then did everyone realize that in the sound of sycophants in full swing just now, Zhu Yuxiao, the princess of Yinquan, had been sitting silently in a corner for a while with two maidservants.
Zhu Yuxiao heard Su Xiaochen say this, slowly got up, looked around at everyone, and did not salute, but just smiled at the corner of her lips:
"The autumn night is long, I'm just here to listen to a few words to pass the time, and I don't want to disturb your interest."
The prince said: "I hope my aunt doesn't want to excuse me, you and I are both royalty, and they are state affairs, but we are ordinary family affairs." If the aunt doesn't speak, where do they dare to talk. ”
Zhu Yuxiao listened to it and felt that it made a lot of sense, so she nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll say a few words, if it doesn't become an article, it will be negative." ”
"I have a blue sea border, thousands of lakes and islands, three parts of soil, seven points of water. In terms of waters, they are even wider than the country of Imulan. Since ancient times, most of the people have been based on fishing and farming. Thinking about the blue sea hundreds of years ago, there was no country and no king, one island and one village, self-governing and self-care, but there was nothing to do. Later, merchants prevailed, boats traveled back and forth, and there were commercial houses between the islands and villages. There are many large and small commercial houses, and they form alliances, which are called business alliances. Although the business alliance is based on profit first, but can be based on a hundred years, all are based on faith, harmony is precious, and can be discussed in case of trouble, but the only thing that has repeatedly caused disputes is the difference in business currency and measurement between the business alliances. ”
Zhu Yuxiao's voice was clear, like a pearl and jade, and everyone could listen to it. Only the prince didn't understand what the Shang Alliance meant, so he could only pretend to understand and sit upright.
"At that time, there was a strange woman, who was good at dancing with long sleeves, wise in people's hearts, and rich in money. It is this woman who travels to and from major business alliances to conspire with the unification of business currency measurement, in order to achieve a goal once and for all. This move has been going back and forth for several years, and finally a hundred years ago, the eight major business alliances of Huime Bihai gathered on Taiye Island and unified the commercial currency and measurement. In order to achieve long-term peace and stability, the business alliances are united as a country, called the country of the blue sea. If you have a kingdom, you must not be left without an owner. Everyone felt the credit of this strange woman, and jointly named her the empress, known as the founding emperor, who was my great-grandmother. ”
Everyone couldn't help but praise in private.
I saw that Zhu Yuxiao looked indifferent, and continued: "Subsequently, her old man connected Taiye Island, Taiqing Island, and Taiying Island with palace walls, built a city, built a pavilion, and surrounded three islands, and gave the name Taiye City, and then built civil engineering under the city, which was the capital of Taiye Country. Thinking that her old man built a blue sea country, without using a single soldier, it can be said that no one has been able to do this throughout the ages. After speaking, everyone nodded in surprise.
When the prince heard that "no one has been able to do this throughout the ages", he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and was unconvinced. "Doctor Xun" was originally the faction that advocated the prince's chariot first, and at this moment, he wanted to save some face for the prince, because he had been walking the Ministry of Rites all the year round and knew some things about the blue sea, so he deliberately asked:
"I heard that the emperor of your country passed on women but not men, but what are the allusions?"
Zhu Yuxiao sighed: "This matter is also the misfortune of the country, my Bihai man, since ancient times, has not lived long, he is over forty years old, and there are few people in the country who have lived more than fifty, but women are extremely long-lived, and those who are over seventy years old abound." In order to protect the country, Emperor Ming set the national policy of passing on women to men to the emperor. ”
When the prince heard this, he couldn't help but think that there was also a mental deficiency in the Li clan due to the marriage of close relatives, but he didn't know what the reason for the longevity of the man Bihai was.
Everyone looked at the words and looks, thinking that he was sad about the longevity of the man in the blue sea, and they all followed the silent mourning as if they were sad. Only General Cao's reaction was slower and more upright, and he suddenly asked:
"If there is no man in the blue sea country, who will be a soldier."
"I had almost no soldiers at that time."
"No soldiers? What if there is a war? General Cao's eyes widened and he looked dazed.
"That's why there is the battle of poisonous gold...... Zhu Yuxiao seemed to remember some dusty past, her face was not very comfortable, she turned to Su Xiaochen: "Chen'er, your Uncle Muyun has taught you a lot, you know these old things best, just tell me for me." He turned to the prince again, "I'm a little tired, His Royal Highness the prince forgive me." After finishing speaking, he didn't care whether the prince answered or not, only slightly bowed, and then floated out of the account.
As soon as Zhu Yuxiao went out on the front foot, everyone on the back foot turned their eyes to Su Xiaochen.
The battle for poison gold?
Su Xiaochen scratched his head and said, "...... But we have to start with the country of Imuran. Do you listen? ”
Everyone changed their disgusted looks, and the chick nodded like a peck of rice: "Listen, naturally listen!" ”
Su Xiaochen said: "Although the territory of the Imuran country is vast, but it is rarely south, and there is the Jueling Peak stretching for thousands of miles, and the Imuran people do not know that there is heaven and earth beyond the peak, until about forty years ago, a foot merchant of the Bihai Country accidentally found that there is a natural valley at the junction of the upper reaches of the Hanjiang River and the Jueling Peak, called the Sickle Valley, with three bends and five curves, which leads directly to the desert, and also met the nomadic convoy of Imuran. Imuran was rich in iron fur and lacked grain and rice, and Bihai produced grain and rice and medicine but lacked iron, and the merchant exchanged some of the medicines he had brought with him for some scimitars of the Imulans, and he was delighted twice, and agreed to exchange them again in three months. After the merchant returned to the blue sea, he knew about the merchant alliance, formed a caravan and went again, and three months later the other party came as scheduled. ”
