The official name of Dongou is Donghai Kingdom, and it is only because the capital of the country is in Dongou that it is called Dongou Kingdom.Dongou is also the Wenzhou of later generations.Dongou has many mountainous forests, which already belong to the hilly forest landform, which is far from the plain landform north of Zhejiang.Even in modern times, the traffic here is still inconvenient, and it was even less accessible in the Han Dynasty.The road is difficult.Not to mention the carriages and horses, it is not easy to even walk.Missions to these small barbarian countries have always been seen as a daunting path.Yan Zhu is a native of Wudi, he knows the situation in Dongou more clearly, and he is not willing to take the land route, there is a building boat to take, and there is a talented and beautiful Huainan Weng Lord as a companion, Yan Zhu naturally listened to Liu Ling's suggestion and rushed to Dongou by boat.Yan Zhu had to wait for the reply of the Son of Heaven before deciding whether to surrender Liu Ju, so he naturally did not rush to Dongou in a hurry.Liu Ling had plenty of time to inspect the Hu market in Huiji.In the first battle at sea, she saved some face for Huiji County, and was therefore welcomed by the Taishou Dou Qufei and Wu Di, and there were banquets almost every day.As the envoy of the Son of Heaven, Yan Zhu should not have such occasions frequently, not to mention that he and Wu Di's surname do not get along well.However, with Liu Ling attending, Yan Rib still disregarded his identity and flocked to it, as long as someone invited, he basically came to the banquet, and every time he would talk loudly, chant poems, and show his talent.Seeing Yan Zhu circling around Liu Ling like a young man who was just beginning to fall in love, Liang Xiao couldn't help but sigh secretly.What a big moth, in the face of self-righteous love, IQ plummeted.It's not far from two hundred and five.While accompanying Yan Zhu to the banquet, Liang Xiao and the others were also warmly received, even a little warmer than the reception of Yan Zhu.In the battle by the riverside, nearly 400 Fujian and Yue troops were killed, which became the most eye-catching point of this war.Whether it is Dou Qufei or Yan Zhu, they cannot be ignored, and there are many rewards.The heroes reciprocated and gave a lot of gifts to Liang Xiao and others.Although the number is not large, it also makes the Lang officials gain something, and it is worth the trip.And their dissatisfaction with Yan Zhu is also even stronger.If it weren't for Yan Zhu's stupidity, he would have delayed the fighter.They will gain even more."
Scholars are just useless."
This sentence has become a mantra often on the lips of Lang officials.Some of the gifts received are local specialties from the south of the Yangtze River, which is not easy to see in Chang'an, and even if there are, the price is very high.It's not that the Lang officials can afford to spend.Of course, these have to be collected.There are also some things that the locals think are very precious, but the Lang officials who have lived in Chang'an for a long time do not think so, so Liang Xiao asked Wang Xing to help them sell them, and then buy some things that are rare in Chang'an.Wang Xing is the county master, the head of the land, and he is good at calculation, so he is naturally familiar with doing such things, and he will never let the Lang officials suffer.It's just a lot of times.Inevitably, I was a little embarrassed.After Wang Xing led the way twice, Liang Xiao decided to go on his own and use the half-baked Wu language to exchange bargains with the merchants.One comes and goes.Liang Xiao and Liu Ling had more opportunities to meet by chance in the market.On this day, Liang Xiao met Liu Ling again.Liu Ling is still dressed in men's clothes, and he only carries Lei Quilt by his side, which is relaxed and comfortable.Liang Xiao was more embarrassed, he carried it in his hand and carried it on his back.There are also two burdens around his neck, which are about to be buried by the goods.Liu Ling saw it.He burst out laughing."
Why are you alone?""
It's rare for them to come to Jiangnan, and they all go to see the scenery.I'm not interested.and barter for them. ”"Then there's no need to be alone, hire a husband, you can ask for a few dollars" "Save one is one, it's not far anyway." ”Liang Xiao said a few words, turned around and was about to leave.Liu Ling stretched out his hand to stop him."
What are you doing with so much, you are not afraid of paying all the taxes halfway" Liang Xiao was stunned for a moment.Paying taxes for so long in this era, he really hasn't encountered the problem of paying taxes.When she was in Guangling, the old lady brocade was a black worker and did not deal directly with the market.When he went to Chang'an, he was mixed in the team, and of course he didn't have to pay taxes.When he came on a business trip, he was still in the office and had no taxes to pay.He has always stayed on the concept of the question of the Han paying taxes.After listening to Liu Ling's words, he realized that he might have done something stupid.The customs tax of Dahan is very heavy.10 is the bottom line, and when it is high, it can even reach half.What's even more devastating is that it is said that every level has to be handed over.Even if it is one-tenth, once a few passes are passed, only half of the goods are left.The problem that Liang Xiao encountered was even more troublesome.The things they bought were very cheap in Wudi, but they were more expensive in Chang'an, and when they paid taxes, they were set according to the local current price, that is, the closer they were to Chang'an, the more taxes he had to pay.After so much effort, in the end, it was all cheap, and those guards Liang Xiao was not so great."
No, it won't."
Liang Xiao hesitated."
We are out of tolerance, as long as Lord Yan" "Do you think Yan Zhu will issue you documents" Liang Xiao was speechless.With Yan Suke's kind of temperament, he doesn't seem to be so easy to speak."
What then" "Leave it to me." ”Liu Ling smiled: "I'll take it to Chang'an for you." ”"This" Liang Xiao hesitated.He knew that a nobleman like Liu Ling had privileges and did not have to pay taxes, but he owed Liu Ling enough favors and didn't want to owe favors for no reason."
Are you afraid that I will swallow your goods, or you don't want to owe me favors" Liu Ling tilted his head, put his hands behind his back, and looked at him with a smile."
Hehe, the main reason is that I'm afraid of trouble."
Liang Xiao embarrassedly disguised himself: "The lord is rich in the world, how can he look at this thing." ”"The mouth is not right."
Liu Ling waved his hand, Lei was walked over, picked up all the goods from Liang Xiao, turned around and called a lifu, and asked him to send him to the post house.Liu Ling stretched out his hand to dust off Liang Xiao's shoulder, and tilted his head: "If you want to thank me, just walk with me, and invite me to drink later."
I just saw a wine seller, and I heard that it was good, and I wanted to try it. ”"Okay, I'll go shopping with Lord Weng today, and I'll invite you to drink later.""
That's pretty much it."
Liu Ling shook his neck in satisfaction."
Manly, big husband, be free and easy, don't be like an old master all day long, can't help it, don't go beyond the rules, and move with courtesy" Liang Xiao was speechless.Liu Ling is complaining that I am cowardly, why do I have the intention of instigating crimes.The two of them wandered around Kure City.There are several famous cities in the world, and there are two in the south of the Yangtze River: Wu City in the east and Chengdu City in the west, both of which are amazingly large cities.Wu City is equivalent to the distribution center of Chinese and foreign goods in the southeast of Dahan, and based on this alone, we can also know that Wu County is by no means as backward as the Central Plains people imagined, so we can understand why Dou Qufei should concentrate his troops to protect Wu County.Once Wu County was breached and Wu City was plundered, the losses were too great.As far as the entire Wu County is concerned, more than half of the wealth is concentrated within the city walls."
Have you ever been to see Chun Shenjun's palace?"
"Chun Shenjun" Liang Xiao shook his head.He wasn't at all impressed by that.Chun Shenjun built a palace here, "to Wu County, there are two places that must be seen."
One is the city of Kure.As the metropolis of Jiangdong, Kure is a famous city in the world, and the people's livelihood is where it is, so we can't ignore it.The second is the palace room of Chun Shenjun.Chun Shenjun is one of the four princes of the Warring States Period, and is a model of the encounter between monarchs and ministers.The success or failure of Chun Shenjun is the success or failure of the Chu State" Listening to Liu Ling's talk about the ancients, Liang Xiao smiled and said nothing.It can't be said that Liu Ling is wrong, but her identity is different, and the angle of her standing is naturally different.However, when commenting on history, we should not only look at the problem from our own perspective, but also jump out of the limitations of our identity in order to see it more comprehensively and more accessible.Just look at the study of history, we must not be confined to one moment, but also broaden our eyes in order to see the hidden development trajectory.If there is anything about Liang Xiao that surpasses others, it may be this.He knows the rise and fall of two thousand years, he has a certain amount of research on the history of the Han Dynasty, and knows that some things cannot be done with enthusiasm.For example, the dilemma faced by Huainan, regardless of whether Liu An is a scholar or not, the strength of King Huai cannot compete with the imperial court, and going overseas and staying away may be their only way out.It depends on Liu Anshe, the king of Huainan, who is reluctant to accept the wealth in front of him."
Lord Weng, do you see the panorama of Wu County" Liu Ling turned his face sideways, glanced at Liang Xiao, and rolled his eyes."
You mean, I'm confined to a corner, and I don't have the overall situation" "The wisdom of the lord of Weng, drawing inferences from one another, is really ashamed of himself. ”Liang Xiao laughed."
When playing chess, you should look at the overall situation and not be confined to the gains and losses of one son.When looking at history, you can't just blind your eyes and see Mount Tai.Chun Shenjun seems to be knowledgeable and wise, and he can speak well, and when the Qin State is pressing forward step by step and the rivers of the Chu State are declining, he still has thoughts in the palace room of Daying in Wu County, which shows that he does not know the general situation.The state of Chu was defeated, and his responsibility was not small. ”Liu Ling's eyes flashed, and he suddenly smiled: "I only know that you don't read much, but I didn't expect you to talk around the corner."
Are you using the past to satirize the present, persuading me not to follow in the footsteps of Chun Shenjun" "What does the survival of Huainan have to do with me" Liang Xiao smiled slightly."
The woman is the one who is pleased, and the man is the one who knows the death.I just don't want to see anything go wrong.Lord Weng, you are familiar with Lao Tzu, don't you know the truth of following the trend, why bother to move against the trend" Liu Ling's eyes flashed, and he muttered: "Are you willing to die for me" Liang Xiao frowned, very speechless.It's okay for you to concentrate a little, I'm discussing serious things with you.Liu Ling also realized his gaffe, his face turned red, and he quickly turned his head and pointed with his hand."
Look, the wine shop has arrived, let's go drink."
Liang Xiao looked up and saw a black line on the door of his head."
Master Weng, are you sure this is a wine shop" Liu Ling settled down, only then did he find that he was in Hu City, pointing to a shop that dealt in glass items, and the door was full of glass beads of various colors, large and small glass bottles, which looked a little like bottles of wine.Liu Ling blinked his eyes mobile version yznn:
