1200 Language Is Not an Issue
"They all use my Datang words?"
Li Xiang heard that some businessmen along the way were chatting in Chinese.
"The local languages are varied, there may be two languages between the two tribes, the main thing is that there is no complete writing, and later our merchants from the Tang Dynasty entered this area and brought our language and writing to them, especially when it comes to writing, basically using our language."
Changsun Ze also felt strange at first, the words of these people in the local area are like birds, but if you write a contract or other documents, you can basically understand it.
In fact, this is also a very normal thing, some places in the local area are still in the state of city-states, if you want to expect them to produce a complete writing system, this is really too difficult, it just happens that the big northern country has a writing system, why not use him?
"Your Highness, you see, their villages are basically this kind of thatched houses, and there are no too strong houses, which is also related to some local environments."
Changsun Ze pointed to a village next to the road and said, from Li Xiang's position, it was indeed similar to the original house.
All of them are supported by thick wood, probably because there are more insects and rats, so there is nothing on the first floor, and people live on the second floor of one and a half meters.
"Beckon everyone to come to the side and take a rest, let's also drink some tea and rest."
Li Xiang saw that there was a village nearby, so there was a small tea station on the side of the road.
Only half of the dozens of guards sat down to drink tea, and the rest were on horseback and stood in various places, where they could observe everything around them, and also be able to shield themselves from danger in some places.
Changsun Ze also observed, in the end, it was the people who followed His Highness, these people didn't look at it and found a place casually, but his place could not only protect the safety of His Highness, but also take the initiative to attack outward, if it weren't for years of cooperation, it would never be so silky.
"My subordinates have always thought that they still have a lot of experience in training, but compared to His Highness's guards, they really can't catch up."
Changsun Ze poured a cup of tea for Li Xiang, this guy always thought that he had done a good job, but he quickly revealed his truth in front of Li Xiang.
"Don't worry, you've only been in the army for a few years, I've been fighting on the battlefield for many years, and they're also following me to fight in the north and south, everyone's alertness is different, and when you fight for a few more years, it's estimated that there will be almost such a group of men."
Li Xiang saw the guilt on Changsun Ze's face, and hurriedly comforted a few words, these people are all exchanged from the system, and there is no need to train them at all, so you can't compare your subordinates with them, if you compare with them, you will be in inferiority for the rest of your life.
"What Your Highness said is that after you go back, you will definitely work harder, and train your subordinates to serve Your Highness like this."
Eldest Sun Ze is young in the end, and he has regained his confidence in a few words.
"A few guest officers drank slowly first, and I went to greet the others first, so tell me directly if you want anything."
The boss brought them refreshments, and then they were about to leave immediately, but Li Xiang gave them a look, and Long San threw out two copper plates.
"Thanksgiving Officer ......"
The coins here are all shells, to be honest, after trading with the Tang Dynasty merchants, they also know that this kind of shell coins are actually not valuable, this kind of copper is the most valuable, just take these two coppers as an example, enough for their tea money.
"Shopkeeper, we are carrying a batch of grain, I don't know where to sell it, and I don't know the situation on your side, has there been a bumper harvest of grain in recent years?"
Although the shopkeeper also speaks Chinese, he is very lame in speaking, and you have to listen carefully, otherwise you won't know that this is your native language.
"We don't have a good harvest here, and when it's time to plant rice, His Royal Highness will fight with the generals, and then take all of our people to fight, and when the battle is over, the people will die, and the land will be barren......
The old man said very helplessly, whenever he talks about these things, he really hates iron and steel, and in the last 20 years, there are only three or four years without war, and the rest of the country is in war.
"We're from Datang, and we don't know much about your situation, so aren't we still fighting? If there is still a war, are our belongings unsafe? ”
Hearing Li Xiang and them say that they were from the Tang Dynasty, the old man's eyes showed a hint of envy, in the eyes of these people, the Tang Dynasty is the Heavenly Empire, and people there can eat white rice every meal.
"Rest assured, since the armistice at the beginning of last year, there has been no major war, it is all a conflict in some small places, and our king and General Naimi have also reconciled, and there has been no war between the two sides this year, but there is still a shortage of food."
According to what the old man said, Li Xiang also knew what the situation was like in the country of Pi.
Basically, it's almost the same as what Changsun Ze heard, General Nami is the king's uncle, and the two have fought many times, and to put it bluntly, it's almost the same as cutting the feudal domain in our history.
There were other guests on the old man's side, and after chatting for a while, they went over to get busy, and it seemed that the local people still couldn't eat, and they had a great sense of disgust with their court.
"The situation close to the north is good, if you are in the southern part of Wacheng, almost the entire village is empty, all due to the war."
According to what Changsun Ze said, the neighborhood is a place with relatively good conditions, but Li Xiang didn't see any prosperity, but many people's faces were exhausted.
"Which forces are paying tribute to us?"
Li Xiang suddenly thought of something, this side will send people to Chang'an every year to pay tribute.
"Don't be angry, Your Highness, it's not the king and the general Naimi, it's a big merchant in this country, Song Chai......"
Before Changsun Ze said with a sad face, Chang'an also thought that the Tang Dynasty and the Kingdom were coming to the court, and he really regarded himself as the Heavenly Empire, but he didn't expect to come over and inquire about it, and only then did he know that it was not the court of the Bi Kingdom to go to the court, but a big businessman in the north.
At that time, Changsun Ze was very angry, if this guy didn't stay in Wacheng all the time, Changsun Ze would have been eager to kill him first, isn't this bullying me Datang no one?
