"I don't know how His Highness talked to the people sent by King Han?" Uncle Gao raised his eyes and glanced at the night outside the window, with a worried look on his face, "It's been talked about all afternoon and hasn't come out yet, nothing will happen, right?" Shall we go over and have a look? ”

"What do you think will happen to him?" He Lianfang sat at the table, holding a pen in her hand and writing something, "No matter how bold King Han's people are, they don't dare to be unfavorable to King Han in the Han Palace." ”

"It's not that you say that King Han is unfathomable and scheming, and I don't know what the purpose of his sending people this time is, so I have to be careful." Uncle Gao frowned slightly, "Now His Highness is getting along alone with the people sent by King Han, what if he is really unfavorable to His Highness?" As soon as he finished speaking, he became more and more uneasy, stood up and said, "I'll go over and have a look." ”

He Lianfang did not stop Uncle Gao. It didn't take long for Uncle Gao to come back.

"Your Highness is still talking to the people sent by King Han." After Uncle Gao came back, his expression was not as worried as before, "Tongxi went into the study before to bring tea to His Highness and the people sent by King Han, His Highness is fine." ”

He Lianfang didn't pay attention to Uncle Gao.

Uncle Gao continued to himself: "What does this King Han want to do. ”

He Lianfang stopped the pen in her hand and looked up at Uncle Gao with a puzzled face: "What do you care about this?" ”

"Aren't I worried about Your Highness?" Uncle Gao was very curious about King Han, "General, why don't I go to Youzhou?" He wanted to meet this King Han and see who he was and what he was capable of.

He Lianfang saw that Uncle Gao was restless again, and said in a light tone: "You go to Youzhou, what should I do in the Wa Kingdom?" ”

"The Wa Kingdom can't be chaotic for the time being." Uncle Gao has not been on the battlefield again in these years, and deep down he has always wanted to return to the battlefield. Youzhou is in the north, next to the Xiongnu. He wanted to go and see, it would be better if he could kill a few Huns. "I'll go to Youzhou to investigate and see if King Han has colluded with the Huns."

"You'd better go back to the country honestly." He Lianfang didn't know Uncle Gao's careful thoughts, "The Wa Kingdom is not completely controlled by you, after you go back this time, you have to completely control the Wa Kingdom." ”

Uncle Gao pursed his lips with disgust on his face and said, "It's really boring to deal with that group of Japanese people. ”

"The Wa Kingdom is very important to the Han King, you have to help the Han King to guard the Wa Kingdom, if the Wa Kingdom is in chaos and ruins the Han King's plan, I will never spare you."

Uncle Gao was frightened by He Lianfang's serious tone. He hurriedly put away his hippie smile and said seriously: "General don't worry, I won't ruin His Highness's plan, I will tame those dwarves and make them willing to be His Highness's slaves." ”

He Lianfang nodded her head and continued, "Youzhou is not a place you can go. ”

When Uncle Gao heard this, he asked puzzledly, "Why is this?" ”

"You are my old subordinate, if Zhao Zheng knows that you went to Youzhou, what do you think will happen to you?"

"If you are caught, you may be beheaded by the emperor." After Uncle Gao finished speaking, he reached out and wiped his neck. "No, general, aren't you His Highness's person now, I am also His Highness's person, even if I go to Youzhou, the emperor won't kill me."

He Lianfang sneered: "You can go and try it." ”

"Then I'm not going to try." As His Highness said, if you try it, you might die. He hadn't lived long enough, but he didn't want to die now. Besides, what His Highness told him, he hasn't finished it yet, and he can't send him to death.

He Lianfang disliked that Uncle Gao was a little in the way in front of him, and urged: "Didn't King Han ask you to assist in inspecting the city, do you still go to inspect?" ”

"Then I'll go." Uncle Gao and the chief of the guards of the Han Palace, they inspected the Swamp Mansion together, and were responsible for maintaining the safety of the city, and did not let anyone take advantage of the crowds to do things.

There was a curfew in the swamp province, and at the beginning of the year, no one was allowed to move around the city at will.

The implementation of the curfew was not stipulated by Zhao Yao, but by the Great Zhou. Curfews were imposed in all state capitals of the Great Zhou, including the capital. Curfews are lifted only on Chinese New Year's Eve, Shangyuan Festival and Qixi every year.

Zhao Yao originally planned to cancel the curfew in Swamp Mansion, but then thought about it, before the Duanyang Festival, many foreigners and inland people would come to Swamp Mansion, and if the curfew was lifted, maybe someone would make trouble at night. To be on the safe side, the curfew will remain in place. In the future, the Swamp Mansion will become bustling and stable, and it will not be too late to lift the curfew.

There is still an hour before the time of the sea, and this time is the busiest time in the swamp mansion city.

The main street was full of people, some from the swamp province, some from other Lingnan state capitals, some from the interior, and some from the foreigners. On the streets, you can even see people from the Western Regions with high noses, deep eyes, and blue eyes.

Many shops on both sides of the street have opened, and many people are setting up stalls to sell things. Even though we don't understand the language, we can buy and sell things through physical communication.

The people who set up stalls are all selling their own things, such as home-made dried fruits, medicinal wine, sugar water, etc. These things are unique to Lingnan, and they are very attractive to outsiders.

In the past few days, the people of Marsh Province have happy smiles on their faces. One is that the Marshes have never had so many people, including the Gentiles. The second is because they make a lot of money.

Now in the eyes of the people of Marsh Province, these outsiders and Gentiles are money.

Uncle Gao and the chief guard walked and chatted.

"When I first came to Swamp Mansion, it was in tatters, and it was deserted." The head of the guard looked at the lively situation in front of him and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "In the past, only during the daytime, you could see people on the street, but at night, there was no one on the street. Now there are more people during the day and more people at night. ”

Uncle Gao looked at the lively and beautiful scene in front of him and exclaimed, "This is all a miracle created by His Highness." ”

When the people on both sides of the street saw the chief of the guard, they greeted the chief of the guard in broken official language.

For some of the subordinates of the Han Mansion, the people of the Swamp Mansion know each other, after all, they can be seen often.

"Mr. Gao, when we first came, there was no light in the eyes of the people of the Swamp Mansion, and the expressions on their faces were numb, in the words of His Highness, they were like the walking dead." The chief of the guard pointed not far ahead, where he was presenting his gifts to the Gentile guests. His face was full of smiles, and his eyes were shining. "Look how happy they're smiling right now."

"It was His Highness who gave them hope." Uncle Gao smiled, "This is just the beginning, they will have better days in the future." ”

"Yes, when the trade conference is over, the Swamp House will become more lively and prosperous." The chief of the guard witnessed the changes in the Swamp Mansion with his own eyes, and his heart was full of admiration for Zhao Yao, "Your Highness is really amazing. ”

"Only His Highness can create such a miracle in this world."

Ahead, a few customers quarreled with the owner of the stall. The chief guard hurriedly walked over and asked what was going on.

When the stall owner saw the head of the guard coming, he hurriedly said that these inland guests were bullying her and forcing her to sell them cheaply.

When these inland people saw the captain of the guard coming, their attitudes became even more arrogant. It was her pleasure to say that they bought her things. He also said that they had come from afar, and that the people of the Swamp House should serve them well. As long as they are happy to be served, they are willing to spend money on things and do business here.

Although the stall owners couldn't understand what these inland people were saying, they knew that what they were saying was not a good thing with their condescending and disdainful expressions.

In the past few days, the chief of the guard has seen a lot of such people, and he is too lazy to talk nonsense, so he directly asked people to escort them away. The men were still unconvinced and shouted.

The chief of the guard directly scolded them, saying that those who came to the Swamp Mansion must abide by the rules. He also said that if you don't think that you are an inlander, you are nobler than the people of Marsh Province. Here, no matter who it is, even if His Royal Highness the King of Han buys something, he must pay obediently. He will not rely on his status to let the people of the swamp mansion sell it to him cheaply, or give it to him directly.

The stall owner hurriedly thanked the head of the guard.

The head of the guard told the stall owner in the words of the crappy swamp house. If she encounters such a person again, report it directly to the official, and they will make the decision for her.

The stall owner said with a touched face that if she met such a guest next time, she would definitely report to the official.

The chief of the guard also warned the stall owners to be honest in their business, and not to bully outsiders or Gentiles who did not understand, so they offered indiscriminately or sold things that were not good. If this is the case, no one will dare to buy her things in the future.

The stall owner respectfully said that she did not dare to deceive people, and she would never deceive outsiders.

Before outsiders and gentiles came to the swamp mansion, Zhao Yao gave an order. If the vendors indiscriminately raise prices, use shoddy goods, or indiscriminately fill the numbers, they will be severely punished, and the punishment will be dozens of times that of the front, and the heavy will be beaten or imprisoned.

The people of the swamp mansion had seen Zhao Yao's methods, how dare they disobey this order.

Of course, this order was not only for the people of the Swamp Province, but also for the merchants who came to the Swamp Province to do business.

The chief of the guard gave a few more words of advice, and then led the people to continue patrolling.

Uncle Gao inspected with the chief guard for half an hour, dealing with several minor conflicts and disputes. The two sat down in a teahouse, drank a cup of tea, and rested. In half an hour there will be a curfew, and they will continue to patrol at that time.

In the teahouse, the storyteller is impassionedly telling famous stories or anecdotes from all over Lingnan, and the tea drinkers listen to them with relish.

These storytellers are local, they speak the local dialect, and they also speak the official language. Previously, the people from the Ministry of Rites specially approached them and asked them to tell more stories about Lingnan and introduce Lingnan's specialties during the trade conference, so that outsiders could learn more about Lingnan.

During the day at the teahouse, there will be people giving lectures. The people who gave the lecture were the unsuccessful talents who had come to the swamp mansion before. The Gentiles were very curious about the Confucianism of the Great Zhou, so they specially arranged lectures.

After drinking tea in the teahouse, Uncle Gao and the chief of the guard continued to patrol. At this time, the vendors on both sides of the street closed their stalls one after another. Curfew was coming up, and they had to hurry home.

Guests from other places and Gentiles are also prepared to return to the guest house or restaurant. If they continue to stay on the streets during curfew, they will also be severely punished.

The laws of the Swamp Mansion are very strict, and if they do not obey the laws of the Swamp Mansion, they will be severely warned the first time, fined the second time, and driven out of the Swamp Mansion directly the third time.

Someone has already been kicked out of the swamp house.

The laws of the Marsh House are not to be violated by anyone. Even a foreign royal family who violated the laws of the Marsh House would be punished.

In the swamp house, the Son of Heaven committed the same crime as the people.
