It is difficult to go to Shu and it is difficult to go to the sky. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

From ancient times to the present, most of the allusions to Shu are related to the bad traffic and the blockage of information. Wuding Kaishan is one, and Yelang is arrogant one. It was the chaos of the Three Kingdoms, and Yizhou was also a pure land.

Luo Yan set out in early March, and now it is mid-April. According to this time, even if you go from Chang'an to Jiangnan, you can also make a round trip. But now that the destination is Bashu, naturally they can only enter the territory of Yizhou.

As the largest state in Shu, Yizhou now includes Chengdu Prefecture, which has four counties and one prefecture. Mengyang, Deyang, Tang'an, Yang'an. Only Yang'an has three counties under its jurisdiction, with a population of only 20,000 households, and is classified as a lower county.

At this time, Chengdu was even called Nanjing, which was the top six areas of the Tang Dynasty's administrative level. The other five are Chang'an, Luoyang, Taiyuan and other political and military important places.

Luo Yan passed through Hanzhong, passed through Guang'an, and the first thing he entered was the territory of Mengyang County.

This time, Li Shimin specially sent hundreds of Qianniuwei to follow him. Coupled with Luo Yan's own hundred elite guards, the group was mighty, which really made the local guards nervous for a long time. Fortunately, Qianniuwei shook his brand in front of others, and the soldiers of Zhichong Mansion knew that this was a person from the capital, so they naturally stopped blocking it.

And Luo Yan also wants to take a good look at the scenery of Shudi. However, he has not yet taken up his post, so he has been delayed, firstly to disturb the place, and secondly, to delay the ministry, so he can only look at Minshan Wenshui in disappointment on the road, thinking about when he can have a good life to see this beautiful scenery.

After passing through Deyang County again, and hurrying for a whole month and 22 days, Luo Yan and his entourage finally arrived at the post station three miles outside Chengdu.

After the post guard checked the name post, he was horrified to find that the person who came was actually the upcoming assassin Shi, which really made the new post man a little overwhelmed. On the way, although Luo Yan also learned some Yizhou dialect from Zhen Lian, he was obviously a little unable to deal with such a situation.

In the end, the smiling Zhen Lian could only tell the smiling guard to boil some water first, so that they could bathe in the dust all the way.

As the so-called county officials are not as good as being in charge, at this time, Luo Yan is here, and the post guards of the entire post station are going crazy. It was only half an hour, and the hot water used by more than 200 people was boiled.

This greatly facilitated Luo Yan and his party.

It was only a matter of half an hour, one by one, they washed off the dirt and dirt, gathered together radiantly, and began to discuss the issue of entering the city tomorrow to take over the duties.

"Zhen Lian, you are a native of Yizhou, and you have also seen the situation today, we don't understand the language, and there are many inconveniences, so. Today, I have to trouble you to make a trip to send my name to the Assassin's Mansion and the Governor's Mansion. ”

Luo Yan only thought at this time, no matter how he was cheated by the system for a while, he would definitely have to exchange a Shu dialect first. Otherwise, sooner or later you will suffer in the future.

Zhen Lian is one of Luo Yan's staff, and this is the time for him to show his skills, how dare he shirk it. When even agreed: "Even if the proprietor doesn't say it, Zhen Lian will invite himself later." Although the students did not rank in the scientific examination, the princes of the Assassin Mansion also met occasionally, and it was time for me to go. ”

The first thing was arranged, Luo Yan nodded, and continued: "Bring a few more people when you go, and buy some food when you come back." The rush along the way has made many guards suffer. Today's rest is just to improve the food, which can be regarded as a reward for everyone. ”

This kind of trivial matter, naturally they don't need to do it, Luo Yan's personal guards immediately nodded yes when they heard this.

When Zhen Lian went to the city with his people, Luo Yan said to Liu Changan with a smile: "Mr. Liu, you and I have nothing to do, so it's better to pretend to be a merchant in the past and go to this city to have a good time." Just right, let's also look at the exploits of Autumn Thorn Shi in office. ”

How many years has Liu Changan been born in Chang'an, where does he not know Luo Yan's thoughts. He was only slightly worried: "The proprietor, the two of us don't understand the language, so we can only be deaf and dumb, and we have nothing to do with the passing merchants." ”

When Liu Changan said this, Luo Yan shook the purse he took out of his arms, and said with a smile: "It's okay to be that deaf and dumb person, just have this." ”

Liu Changan had no choice but to wait for Luo Yan to change into a monofilament Luo dress, and he looked like a rich lord with a luxurious look. The two of them took three or five guards and rode leisurely to the city in a carriage.

I waited for a moment to enter the city gate. Although it is necessary to check the identity documents when leaving the city, such a long time is enough to show that the number of people entering and leaving the city is quite large. When Luo Yan handed out the identity document, the expression of the soldier guarding the city was exactly the same as that of the post guard.

After explaining that he wanted to keep it secret, Luo Yan entered the city. Although it is not as shoulder to shoulder as Chang'an, there are people on the street at this time. Seeing that the carriage was really moving a little slowly, Luo Yan simply got out of the carriage and put people in an inn, and then walked towards the city with the flow of people.

There are a lot of people selling along the street, and a lot of local products make Liu Changan, a Confucian who has a deep sense of qi cultivation, a little lingering. Crossshuttle, monofilament Luo, Shu brocade, flower yarn, red and blue, these tributes that are rare in Chang'an, are too common here.

Luo Yan fell in love with a flower yarn.

Although there are many tributes every year, many of them are distributed to Changle. But from Luo Yan's point of view, what is sold in this stall is actually much better than the tribute.

Standing in front of the stall, Luo Yan couldn't help asking, "Shopkeeper, how do you sell this flower yarn?" As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Yan regretted it, he used Chang'an official dialect, where can people here understand. Just as he was about to change his words, he heard an official reply with a slight dialect accent: "The honored guest is from Chang'an, I am dissatisfied with you, I have the flower yarn here, which can be said to be the best in the whole degree." A three-run iron coin, if there is a sufficient amount of copper coin, five hundred wen is enough. ”

It was the first time Luo Yan had heard of Iron Money. Although later generations also heard in the history books that the copper production in Shu was insufficient, they really didn't think about it for a while.

Taking out his purse from his arms, Luo Yan smiled: "I look like this, I'll give you six hundred wen." You give me a piece of flower yarn, and then you can find me ten pennies. Iron money is also a rarity in Chang'an, and it happened to be brought back to open the eyes of my old friends. ”

Profitable, how could the shopkeeper be unhappy, tied up the flower yarn, and respectfully handed it to the guards behind Luo Yan, and then took out ten pieces of rusty iron money from his arms and handed it to Luo Yan: "Don't blame the honored guest, the cold wave in Shudi, the iron money is also easy to rust." This is the best in the hands of the villain. ”

Luo Yan didn't care, nodded, and left the stall.

Checking the iron money in his hand, Luo Yan couldn't help but say to Liu Changan: "If it is the copper of Shu Real Estate, I am afraid that it will not be prosperous in the capital." ”

Liu Changan understood what Luo Yan meant, and nodded: "But if the will of heaven is like this, how can it be done by manpower." ”

Luo Yan smiled, didn't say anything more, and just continued to walk forward. The regulations of Chengdu Mansion are much more laughing than Chang'an, but after walking for half an hour, a bustling street is over. However, Fang just walked on one side, and turned around just to finish the other side.

Full of novelty, Luo Yan continued to ask for prices in many stalls of Shudi native products, and then looked at the ones he liked and bought one or two. Luo Yan was happy to go shopping, and the few guards behind him were a little sad.

The things in their hands, let them each find a flat pole and put it in the basket to carry.

When Luo Yan walked to a stall, he stopped again. The guards were even darker-faced. If Luo Yan could hear their hearts, then he would definitely know that what they were thinking at this time was: "Grandpa, there is nothing in the basket." ”

Squatting in front of the stall, Luo Yan looked at a pretty but a little timid little girl guarding there, and asked with a smile: "Little girl, why are you here alone, your family?" ”

The girl just shook her head, but didn't say a word. Luo Yan spoke the authentic Shu dialect this time, and there was no possibility that this little girl couldn't understand it. Xindao This girl may be a little dumb, so Luo Yan pointed to the things on the stall and asked, "These things are different from the style I have just seen, but they are quite chic." I don't know how much this bamboo carving costs? ”

The little girl timidly stretched out three fingers.

Luo Yan understood this time, took out three copper coins from his purse, handed them to the little girl, and then handed the bamboo carving to the guard behind him.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly saw the little girl stand up, made a sound towards Luo Yan, and then took out an iron coin from her arms, pointed it, and then gestured to hand it to Luo Yan.

This time, Luo Yan instantly understood. This little girl is a Nanban. And what she meant was that bamboo carving needed three iron coins, and there were too many copper coins to ask for it.

In front of the public, Luo Yan couldn't exchange the Nanban language to communicate with the little girl, so he could only shake his head, push the copper coin into the little girl's hand, and take three slightly larger bamboo carvings from the stall.

Just as Luo Yan was about to get up and leave, a voice suddenly came from a distance: "Quickly dodge, a fast horse is coming." ”

The guards are still carrying burdens, and if they don't dodge early, their own guards will suffer. At this time, Luo Yan immediately shouted: "Hurry up and stand on the side of the street, the burden is unloaded, the things are piled up, don't hinder others from taking shelter." ”

The guards and Liu Changan couldn't understand the Shu dialect, but they saw a commotion in front of them, but they didn't know what was happening. Hearing Luo Yan's shouting, he did not slow down, and immediately followed Luo Yan's instructions.

But in the blink of an eye, the street was crowded to make way for an avenue.

And the so-called fast horse also arrived dozens of meters in front of Luo Yan at this time.

However, on the street, there were several passers-by who could not dodge and fell to the ground, lying down about 20 meters away from the horses.

If the horses were to come at them, some of them would be trampled on. Liu Changan stood behind Luo Yan and shouted, "Get up and run." But his eyes were closed unbearably.
