Chapter 14: The Legend of Damati
Hongzhou City, Ruoshui looked at the emperor list at the head of the city, and learned that the flood that affected several states, and only reduced the tax by 30%, while saying that the treasury was empty, and at the same time was in a hurry to expand the harem.
She was a little more satisfied with her decision to leave, where did this court look like she wanted, it was better to be free.
"General Shan, why did you come out again?" Before the words fell, Xiao Qiu was slapped in the palm again.
Xiao Qiu pursed his lips aggrievedly and muttered: "Beat me again, why are you always so powerful." ”
Looking at his handsome little face, the bulging is really interesting, and Ruoshui's mood is much better.
When I entered the teahouse, I saw two scholars talking there, which was a little more lively than the storyteller.
There were a few people around, and there was nothing to do left and right, and it was too empty to listen to them.
Ruoshui also picked a place to sit down, and Dr. Tea came forward to greet him as soon as possible, "You are here again, sit in the private room above, don't disturb these two scholars with sore teeth." ”
Ruoshui waved her hand and sat down, she has always liked to be lively.
In the past two years, there have been many battlefields, and I feel that watching the excitement is the best pastime in the market.
Scholar A shook his fan and said: "This time the emperor list is really lively, being an official can be recommended, and being a concubine can also be recommended, it is really eye-opening."
However, the old ladies and ladies of our Hongyin Dynasty like big families, and they like to live in harmony and harmony, and the court is no exception. ”
Scholar B echoed: "Only we little people are helplessly lonely. Now, after 200 years, everyone has long been used to it.
Who told the nobles to work so hard, the money has to be managed, the grain has to be managed, and the livestock has to be managed.
Hehe, naturally you need a big family to relax. ”
Scholar A took a sip of tea and began to pick up the conversation again: "If you want to talk about me, I don't know how many people are going to develop this time."
I heard my cousin who was doing business in the capital say that now the hussar general's mansion is vast, and the servants are like clouds, and he is very arrogant.
A few years ago he was just a centurion. ”
"But no, if I am a beautiful woman, I will also go to the palace to fight."
When Ruoshui heard this, he smiled, thinking of the emperor who was tied up in the court, and still felt that he was really free to cross the rivers and lakes.
Xiao Qiu skillfully handed over the tea on the side: "Miss, drink tea." ”
Ruoshui took it with satisfaction, looking at this little guy by his side for a few years, and becoming more and more trained, his heart moved, I really don't know which girl will be cheaper in the future.
Hongzhou City is a small city by the sea in the north of Pennsylvania, where Ruoshui and Ji Fansheng grew up.
Further north from Hongzhou City is the boundless Julu Strait, and on the opposite side is said to be the mysterious continent of Damati.
Damati is a legend and just a legend to the people of Holy Borneo.
Although Damati's caravan always visited regularly, no one had seen their ship, nor did they know how they had landed, even the tons of cargo, and how they could be loaded and unloaded.
The Dharmati people are wealthy and have all kinds of skills, but they are fond of the local products of Holy Borneo, especially the soft leather coats, the embroidered feather fans of Yuezhou, and the red rice of Xiangjun.
In the summer, the merchants of Damati come more diligently, because there is a special product in the summer, which is the lotus.
In Holy Borneo, the lotus is just a thing to look at, and although it is rare and can only be seen, the Dharmati people are able to turn it into a special decoration.
Illuminated by a magical ore, the lotus will precipitate a brilliant brilliance that will remain on the gemstone that needs to be decorated for a long time.
For this dazzling brilliance, the Damati business group will come to the port on time every summer.
Moreover, the Damati people were never willing to land in Pennsylvania, they would rather cross the entire sea of grass in Yunzhou than come to Hongzhou City.
It was as if there was some secret hidden in Hongzhou City, something they couldn't or didn't want to get close to.
The Damati people landed at Jiawan Port in Yunzhou every time, and the reception of merchant groups has also become an important job of Yunzhou Mu.
After the Bingzi Rebellion, the rebellious Yunzhou Mu fled to Lingjia with the remnants of the army.
I wanted to go incognito and seek a glimmer of life, but I was unexpectedly captured by the border guards of the Great Xia Kingdom and sent back to Haojing.
The heroine of the Great Xia Kingdom also wrote a long letter, saying that she would continue to conclude an alliance with the new emperor.
Just over a hundred years ago, this Great Xia Kingdom was still a male emperor.
There is a blue frost princess, both wise and brave, when she helped her brother unify all the ethnic groups in the country, she rejected the invasion of Wuyan State in the north and killed Zuo Danyu of Wuyan State with her own hands.
At that time, the lord of the Great Xia Kingdom took advantage of the fierce battle between the Wuyan Kingdom and the Great Zhou Kingdom at Tongyun Pass, and the central part of the Hongyin Dynasty was empty, so he led his troops through the extinguished fire rain forest and rushed straight to Haojing without knowing it.
If it weren't for the three princes at that time rushing back from Tongyun Pass day and night, then Haojing would have been a scorched earth long ago.
When Princess Lanshuang arrived, she bitterly persuaded her brother not to be an enemy of the Great Zhou Kingdom, but the brother did not listen and vowed to enter Haojing.
In desperation, the princess had no choice but to lead her troops back and write a letter to the third prince to express her submission.
Soon, the three princes killed the lord of Great Xia in a bloody battle on the outskirts of the city, and because of his outstanding military achievements, he later ascended to the throne, that is, Emperor Wende.
After Princess Blue Frost ascended the throne, she became the first female lord of Great Xia.
She was also blessed by the Hongyin Dynasty of the Great Zhou Kingdom, and Emperor Wende personally visited Huichangzhou, where the two countries bordered, where she held an alliance with the lord of the Blue Frost Kingdom.
For more than 100 years since then, the two countries have enjoyed a harmonious relationship and supported each other.
Strange to say, since the Empress ascended the throne of the Great Xia Kingdom, the fire rainforest burned again, and the flames were soaring, becoming a natural barrier to the west of Haojing.
After Ji Fansheng ascended the throne, the selection of Yunzhou Mu also took a lot of hesitation, and later he was still the left minister and chose a squire from the household department to go.
The Lang official of this household department is a good hand at collecting money, but it is the first time to be a state pastor, and he is at a loss for a while when he receives the imperial order.
He privately asked Tan Shangshu of the household department to give advice.
Tan Shangshu just tapped the pen with his hand, "Our cousins in the household department want to accumulate wealth for His Majesty wherever they go, and Yunzhou involves Da Mati, so you can't be careless." I hope you can do it yourself. ”
This person is really capable, and he purged bandits while collecting money. In the year of his appointment, when the Damati business group visited, he set up a lot of business outside of the lotus.
This made Yunzhou, a wild place, suddenly have vitality, and Jiawan is no longer a simple port, but a distribution center for goods.
Damati's business group is still so mysterious, but with the deliberate welcome of Xinyunzhou Mu, and the sea of grass has also begun to get better, the number of business groups has begun to double every year.
There was even a businessman with a brain who transported goods from Pennsylvania himself and directly traded with the Damati merchant group.
Within a year or two, Jiawan has become more and more prosperous and has become more prosperous than Hongzhou City.
Damati is still a legend, but this legend is getting closer and closer to reality.
