Li Su's fleet traveled all the way south and soon reached the open sea on the boundary of Suzhou. Just when the people in the fleet thought that Li Su was going to enter the Yangtze River along the Chang'an estuary, and then land ashore and enter Suzhou City, they did not expect Li Su to make a move that surprised everyone, that is, to stop the ship on the south bank of the Yangtze River estuary.

The place where Li Su stopped actually belongs to Suzhou, to be exact, this should belong to Huating County under the rule of Suzhou. When it comes to the name of Huating, it is estimated that future generations will not know much, but if the name of Huating in later generations is called, it is estimated that everyone is familiar with it, even if they have not been here, but they will definitely be able to say one or two characteristics of this place, and this name is called Shanghai.

As the world's famous financial and fashion capital, there are countless people's dreams here, countless young people enter Shanghai through various channels, and want to make a career here, but some people succeed and some people fail, on the big stage of Shanghai, almost every day is staged a life comedy of sadness, joy, separation and reunion, the difference is that there is no actor and audience, everyone is a member of the stage.

The above refers to Shanghai in the 21st century, and in the seventh century AD, where Li Su lived, most of the land of Shanghai was barren, and even the name Shanghai did not appear, and it belonged to Huating County under Suzhou Prefecture, and Li Su's fleet was docked here.

The place where the fleet docked was an extremely rudimentary dock. Even the big ships in the fleet couldn't dock at all, so Li Yu and the others could only take small boats to dock at the pier. Then hike ashore. It may be to prepare for the invasion of storms at sea, so the county seat of Huating is more than 20 miles from the coast. And the wharf where they are located is only a wharf for fishermen in the county to go out to sea to fish, so naturally it is impossible for big boats to dock.

Li Su was the first to go ashore in a small boat, and then looked at the environment on the dock with interest. I saw that on the beach on both sides of the wharf, there were more than a dozen broken fishing boats placed with their bottoms facing the sky, and a group of fishermen were talking and laughing to mend the nets, but suddenly saw the big boats of the fleet. When they saw Li Su and the brightly dressed nobles coming ashore, they all showed a sincere and frightened expression, and they stood there one by one looking a little overwhelmed.

"Sixth brother, you brought us to this place where the island doesn't. Wouldn't it be just to watch these fishermen make up the net? Li Zhen's illness is almost cured, and this time he also followed Li Zhen to the shore, but he stood on the dock left and right and looked at it several times, except for the fisherwoman on the beach, there was really nothing to see.

"Go, go~, what do children know?" Li Su glanced at Li Zhen, only the four brothers and some guards went ashore this time, and Yanbei and they all stayed on the boat, because Li Su didn't plan to stay here for long.

I saw Li Su look up and find a simple grass shed not far away. There were rags hanging from the side of the shed, and I could barely make out the word 'wine' written on them, which seemed to be a low-class country farm. Seeing the small shop, Li Su's face immediately rejoiced, and he immediately pointed there and said: "Third brother, seventh brother, there is a tavern there, let's go inside to rest for a while, I have already sent someone to the county seat to notify the local officials to come, and I have something to ask him in a while." ”

Li Ke and Li Yun didn't know what Li Su was doing. The supplies on the ship are very sufficient, it is said that there is no need to dock at all, but this Li Su insists on coming, and they can't stop it, and listening to Wang An, Li Su seems to have prepared some big gifts for Li Ke here, but looking at the situation here, Li Ke really can't see where Li Su's big gift is?

However, as the saying goes, what comes is safe, Li Ke and they couldn't guess Li Su's thoughts, so they had to let Li Su arrange it, so they had to follow Li Su to the tavern in front. In fact, it is not so much a tavern as a three-airy straw shed, and the only unventilated wall is a long table made of wooden planks, on which are placed several coarse porcelain basins, in which salted fish, dried tofu and other snacks are placed.

Behind the long case, there stood the owner of this tavern, one of them was a gray-haired old man who was dozing off on the case, and the other was a fourteen or fifteen-year-old fisherman girl, who looked like she was also good, but her skin was dark and rough, and she knew at a glance that she was a perennial fisherman.

Li Su's arrival immediately alarmed the old man who was dozing off, and when this sleepy-eyed old man saw so many people coming in his small shop at once, he was immediately shocked, and rushed out of the counter with agility that did not match his age, and said to Li Su and the others with a sneer: "The visit of all the nobles to the small shop really makes the little old man shine here, please sit down!" ”

The old man beckoned Li Su and them, and wiped the table and stool several times. Although the old man has never seen much of the world, he can distinguish the identities of some customers from the store that has been open for so many years. The four brothers Li Su and Li Ke are all dressed in fancy clothes, and there are dozens of guards next to them, this kind of person is naturally either rich or expensive, and he can't afford to offend him no matter what, so he is so attentive.

After Li Su and the four of them sat down, the girl behind the counter immediately came out with a kettle, placed four large porcelain bowls in front of Li Su and them, and then poured a bowl of white water for each person, and then the old man next to him asked again: "Four nobles, although the small shop is simple, there are still some seafood that can be eaten, I don't know what the four want to eat?" ”

Li Ke, Li Yun, and Li Zhen saw that this shop was so rough, so they didn't have any appetite at all, and the water in front of them didn't move, and Li Yu saw that although the shop was simple, the utensils were also clean, so he picked up a big bowl and drank a sip of water, and then said with a smile: "Uncle, we are all from the sea, so the seafood is already tired of eating, if you have vegetables or something here, you can come up some!" ”

The old man was also shocked when he heard that Li Su and they were from the sea, stretched his neck and looked at the sea outside the store, and finally saw Li Su's big ships, and his heart was even more frightened, and his face was more respectful, but when he heard that Li Su wanted to eat green vegetables, he showed a wry smile on his face: "Noble Qi, the small shop is a small profit, and it is only February now, there are really no vegetables to eat, only some dried tofu, eggs and other snacks." ”

"Huh? How can you open your eyes and talk nonsense, if there are no greens, what is in the pot? Li Zhen didn't care about what to eat, after all, in his opinion, this small shop was really dirty and broken, and he couldn't satisfy his appetite at all, but when he heard the old man's words, the corner of his eye inadvertently swept over a pot of things on the counter, and then he spoke.

Following Li Zhen's fingers, Li Zhen and the others turned their heads to look, but what they saw was a pot of steamed vegetables, with green leaves hanging white flour, and it looked like it had just been steamed, and it was still steaming hot.

"Noble Qi, this is the wild vegetables that Xiao Lao'er's granddaughter dug in the morning, they are all rough things, you are delicate and expensive, where can you eat these things?" The old man hurriedly explained.

"Wild vegetables?" Li Su's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he ate too much delicacies from the mountains and seas, which made him really miss the taste of wild vegetables, and in his previous life, wild vegetables were more expensive than serious vegetables, and even major hotels had all kinds of beautifully made wild vegetable delicacies, and it made people drool when they thought about that taste.

"Uncle, you can give us a large portion of the wild vegetables, and then serve some side dishes such as dried tofu, as for the fish, you will be exempted, you have already eaten enough on the boat!" Li Su immediately instructed that unlike Li Ke and them, he was full of interest in these rural game, although he went ashore for other things, but before talking about business, he might as well taste the food in the countryside.

When the old man heard that Li Su insisted on eating, he naturally didn't dare to say more, and turned around to let his granddaughter prepare. And Li Ke also asked a little impatiently at this time: "Liulang, you came all the way here, don't you just want to taste the wild vegetables of Huating?" ”

"Hahahaha~, third brother, if the wild vegetables here really suit my appetite, then when we come back, the younger brother will really come to eat again, but Huating County is your territory for the third brother, so this meal will be invited by you!" Li Su laughed after hearing this, and by the way, he also counted the food money on Li Ke's head.

Seeing Li Su's scoundrel appearance, Li Yun and Li Zhen both covered their mouths and snickered, and Li Ke couldn't cry or laugh, pointing at Li Su and saying helplessly: "Liulang, don't sell Guanzi anymore, we have all gone ashore, let's tell all your purposes!" ”

"Hehe, third brother, don't worry, wait until the person who went to find the officials of Huating County came, let's eat something first!" Li Su didn't seem to be in a hurry at all.

"Why do you have to wait for the local officials to come, as you just said, this belongs to Suzhou, that is, my territory, is there anything to say no to me?" Li Ke asked with some puzzlement. Although he has been in Chang'an for the past two years, he still has an official position of Suzhou Assassin History, but unlike Li Su, he doesn't care about this assassination history, and it is Suzhou Beijia who really sits in Suzhou, that is, officials like Zhao Fu.

Unexpectedly, after Li Su heard this, his eyes glanced at Li Ke, and he said with a smile: "Third brother, I won't go around in circles between our brothers, although Suzhou is your territory, but do you know how many people there are in Suzhou and its subordinate counties, what do these people live on, what resources are around Suzhou, and how to use these materials to develop the local economy?" ”

Li Su's series of questions made Li Ke speechless, he was just a name for the Suzhou assassin, he had never come to take office at all, and he knew almost nothing about the situation in Suzhou, so he naturally couldn't answer the questions asked by Li Su.

Seeing Li Ke's appearance, Li Su smiled and patted his third brother's shoulder, and then said: "Third brother, you weren't a good assassin before, there was such a treasure land under the rule of Mingming, but you haven't noticed it, today the younger brother will give you a big cornucopia!"
