Hu City, as the name suggests, is the place where the Han and Hu people, as well as the Hu, exchanged trade. As early as when Lü Bu pacified the Wuhuan Rebellion in Yanmen, a commercial market was established, so that there was a special market between those Hu and Han people to conduct trade. And this Hu City was set up by Zhang Yang in this northern land, and its purpose was to develop the economy of this northern land.

Thinking about Liu Yu in Youzhou, why can there be so much popularity among the Hu people in Youzhou? The reason for this is that Liu Yu "opened the benefits of Guhu City, the Rao of Yuyang Salt and Iron, the people were happy to climb the year, and the valley stone was thirty." "Liu Yu's military talent is not very good, but his ability to govern the local area is still quite commendable.

Kaihu City, this is a win-win cooperation between the two sides.

The Hu City set up by Zhang Yang is in Jiuyuan City. After Lu Bu pacified the northern land, these nine plains, as Lu Bu's hometown, were very well-known and vigorously developed.

Walking in Hu City, Lu Bu and Yan Wei walked side by side, and Lu Lingqi walked in front of them like a curious baby, taking a look on the left and the right. It's as if I've never seen such a lively scene.

It's no wonder that Lu Lingqi is indeed very lively. There is an endless stream of Hu merchants, and the costumes, faces, and accents of the Hu people who are different from the Han people, as well as those strange things, all make Lu Lingqi playful!

Even Yan Wei was secretly surprised, just thinking that she was the wife of General Zhenbei, and she couldn't be a curious baby like Lu Lingqi.

"Daddy, look ......"

Lu Lingqi's eyes lit up, and he pointed to a blue-eyed man who was shouting and said, "Why is his hair and eyes different from ours?" ”

Whether it is the Wuhuan people, the Huns, or the Qiang people, Lu Lingqi has seen it. Even though their appearance is very different from that of the Han people, and their clothes have changed a lot, they are still black-eyed, black-haired, and yellow-skinned. But this man has blue hair and blue eyes, a high nose bridge, and his skin is still fair. He wears a felt hat with feathers on his head and a small iron knife around his waist. He was burly and athletic.

Lu Bu glanced at that place, and smiled slightly, "Lingqi, he is from the Western Regions!" ”

"People from the Western Regions?"

Lu Lingqi frowned slightly, she didn't know the Western Regions, but she seemed to have heard the name of the Western Regions.

"Remember Chang'an? To the west of Chang'an is Liangzhou, and further west of this Liangzhou is the Western Regions. The Western Regions are also very large, there are dozens of small countries, and their language, culture and clothing are very different from ours, that is, they are very different in appearance! ”

Lu Bu smiled, "Let's go, let's go over and have a look!" ”

Seeing Lu Bu and his party coming, the burly man from the Western Regions was quite happy! He had already paid attention to Lu Bu and these people. Don't look at Lu Bu without armor and a sword, just a straight-lined deep coat, but it is difficult to hide the heroic spirit between his eyebrows! And Yan Wei beside Lu Bu, even though she is wearing a veil, has a faint mysterious beauty of oriental women. and the cheerful Lu Lingqi, the fine brocade clothes they were wearing were enough to prove that their identity was extraordinary.

"What do you want?"

The burly man stepped forward and asked Lu Bu very politely in Chinese.

Lu Bu just glanced at the items on the man's stall and smiled lightly. Most of the things on this stall are leather goods and spices, as well as some gold and silver jewelry from the Western Regions. Before Lu Bu could speak, Lu Lingqi stepped forward and fiddled with some items. Like the burly man, he put the felt hat with bird feathers on his head, which looked very funny.

"You're from the Western Regions? Which country is in the Western Regions? ”

Seeing that Lu Lingqi took Yan Wei there to choose some gemstones and jewelry from the Western Regions, Lu Bu communicated with this Western Regions merchant.

Facing Lu Bu, this burly man from the Western Regions also looked very respectful, and the merchant was very discerning. The moment he saw Lu Bu, he knew that the man in front of him must be a nobleman. After hearing Lu Bu's inquiry, he also replied, "I am a driver from the Western Regions. ”

"The Driver?"

Lu Bu smiled slightly.

In the Western Han Dynasty, this Cheshi was in the border of the Xiongnu and the Han Dynasty, the important place of the Silk Road, the Han and the Xiongnu fought for hegemony, and the poor Cheshi State could only rebel sometimes and sometimes annex, which was equivalent to the grass on the wall. It was not until later that the Xiongnu civil strife, and the Xiongnu, who was in charge of the affairs of the Western Regions, surrendered to the Han Dynasty. It's just that after a long period of turmoil, Cheshi was originally a big country in the Western Regions, but it was split into the front and rear, and the national strength declined.

But compared to the powerful Han Dynasty, these small countries in the Western Regions are simply insignificant! In the eyes of many people, those countries in the Western Regions are just small countries. It's just that at this time, the Han Dynasty was in turmoil and couldn't take care of the Western Regions. Historically, after Cao Wei unified the north, he immediately took back the Western Regions, and re-established the Western Regions Protectorate to govern these Western Regions. Of course, Cao Wei's influence on the Western Regions is completely inferior to that of the Han Dynasty. During the period when the Han Dynasty was strong, it only took one messenger to be able to cut off the heads of the kings of those small countries in the Western Regions......

Yan Wei and Lu Lingqi were still choosing jewelry, and Lu Bu and the Western Regions merchant talked a lot about each other, and they also knew the name of this burly man. His name was Aroddo, a merchant at the front of the charioteer, and he was also very famous. This can be seen from the fact that Aroldo was able to cross the Hexi Corridor from the far western regions and come to the Nine Plains merchants.

Today's Hexi Corridor is not a stable place, it has to pass through the territory of the Xianbei people. Those Xianbei people are not as easy to talk as the Han people. However, Aroldo told Lu Bu that he also had a lot of deals with those Xianbei people, so he was able to cross the Hexi Corridor and come to this Jiuyuan Hu City.

"Daddy, this is so beautiful......"

After Lu Bu watched the mother and daughter choose some jewelry from the Western Regions, Lu Lingqi seemed to be in love with these things, putting the felt hat with feathers on his head and pinning the emerald brooch to his clothes. Then he also raised a delicate glass bowl, the glass bowl was green and shining, Lu Lingqi raised the glass bowl to the side of his eyes, and looked at Lu Bu's tall figure through the glass bowl, smiling like a flower.

Looking at Lu Lingqi's happy smile, Lu Bu also smiled. Seeing the transparent artificial glass bowl, I also felt a little emotional, the glass products of the Western Regions are now regarded as treasures in Dahan! Those beautiful glass products can only be enjoyed by those princes and nobles, and they are passed down as family heirlooms.

I never thought that in this small Hu market in Jiuyuan, Lu Bu would be able to see the crystal clear glass bowls of this era.

Thanks for the 500 tip for touching your head!
