Chapter 6 Three Points
When everyone saw that the prince was reading with the prince, who was wearing a black leaf shirt and a jade crown, they heard that he was a high-level master of the right tutor. Before he could listen, he cheered. When the prince saw that everyone was supporting him, he was very proud and reached out to signal An Jing.
Everyone immediately stopped and sniffed with breath.
Su Xiaochen took the order and sat down, bowed to everyone, and chanted loudly and clearly:
"The world's affairs are changing, and the past and future will eventually be recorded in history. Therefore, only by reading history can we know the truth and understanding the past can we understand the present. Now we are talented and knowledgeable, so today we will briefly talk about the trend of the world. Today, all the talented and talented people are all here. As we talk about below, we can throw bricks and attract jade, and it is even more fortunate to get a good impression of it."
For a moment, the little maid who poured the tea stopped and listened to him continue:
"From historical records, we all know that the world is divided into three parts. With Jueling Mountain as the boundary, it extends from west to east, and extends for thousands of miles. The north of the mountain is called the northern border and the south of the mountain is called the southern region. Jueling Mountain is frozen all year round, and the snow water melts and flows into a river all year round. The large and small tributaries exceed 100 times, and finally flows into the Hanjiang River. The Hanjiang River flows from north to south and flows into the sea, and divides the southern region south of Jueling Mountain into two. To the west is my Cangwu Kingdom, and to the east is the Blue Sea Kingdom. My Cangwu Kingdom has been around for four generations since the founding of Emperor Gaozu. The king is benevolent and ministers are wise, and the country is peaceful and the people are safe. There have been few wars in the past century. It is entirely because of Emperor Zhaoren, Emperor Qinwen and the current emperor are compassionate, and they are both the lords of benevolence and virtue."
When everyone heard this, the prince smiled slightly and thought, "What a benevolent and wise man. He not only gave me the credit of the Muyun family, but also didn't praise you too much. You are considered to be a measure. Since I talk about my Li family, I have to show my talent and knowledge of the Li royal family." So he took the conversation and said:
"What Mr. Su said is right. I remember that at that time, Emperor Gaozu was just a military governor of the previous dynasty, and only had one state and seven counties under his jurisdiction. But benevolence was the first, righteousness was the mainstay, and faith was the basis. It was supported by the people in just a few years. Later, the dynasty was in chaos, the princes were in conflict, and the people were displaced and miserable. At this time, thanks to my Emperor Gaozu's army of benevolence and righteousness, all kinds of heroes came to visit the banners, gathered in the bamboo, and attacked the city and landed. In just three years, the bandits were destroyed and the great cause was unified. It was the destiny of heaven."
"Doctor Xun" heard the tears in his eyes when he heard it, and he shouted: "The prince's wise! The country of Cangwu can have a peaceful and prosperous era because of the benevolence and righteousness of Emperor Gaozu! The prince is so kind, and he really has the legacy of Emperor Zhaoren!" Everyone gathered together and said it, and the prince's face was as if it were spring breeze.
Su Xiaochen thought to himself, Okay, the Mu Yun family, who is the most intelligent in the world, is also said to be here to come to see the reputation, and just smiled at the moment.
After the spring breeze blew on his face for a while, the prince stretched out his hand to stop and exclaimed: "Everyone praised it. In fact, all the things in this country must be familiar with. Why not ask Mr. Su to talk about other countries again."
Su Xiaochen took the order and continued:
"North of Jueling Mountain is the northern border, all of which are in the desert. There are many tribes of Rongdi. About a hundred years ago, there was a large clan named Huguer, who was born with divine power and fought in all directions, unifying the entire northern border. Huguer then built the Imulan Kingdom, established the capital of Shakeye City, and established himself as the king of the country, called Huguer Ehun.
Seeing that everyone was puzzled, he explained: "Oh, Ehun is in Yimulan language, which means the king."
He continued: "Huguer also worshipped Wen Mi, the elder of the clan, as the great witch god, to assist the country's government. Because the land in China is barren, but iron ore is everywhere, it is good at forging and it is difficult to feed. Although the country is vast, it only relies on hunting and nomadic life to make a living."
"It's just a group of barbarians, uncivilized savages." Suddenly someone whispered, and immediately everyone nodded and said yes, with a very contemptuous look on their faces.
Su Xiaochen felt a little unhappy when he heard this. When Uncle You talked to him about the country of Imulan, he once said that the deeds of the previous kings were not just people who ate raw meat and drank blood in the world, but were all talented and knowledgeable people.
Uncle You once said that Imulan is located in a desert, with wind and sand raging, and it is extremely difficult to build a city. But the king Huguer not only has brute force, but also has ingenious ideas. In order to prevent the endless sand and dust in the sky, he actually built the capital underground! Not only that, he also dug up the underground water veins and hot springs, leading it to the low terrain in the city to irrigate and keep warm. He also created thousands of ponds of all sizes, connecting the ground, picking sunlight into the ground. Let the wind whistle on the ground, but the underground is as warm as spring, with birds singing and flowers fragrant. Just building a city is like this, and the talent of the Imulan people can be seen. On the other hand, the people of Cangwu are more peaceful and look at the sky in a well, which is really worrying.
Seeing everyone's words, the prince coughed twice and said to smooth things over: "Sir Su also talked about the Imulan State, but since we are on the mission to Bihai this time, please ask Mr. Su to talk about the affairs of Bihai State again."
Su Xiaochen looked at the people present, obviously they were all interested in the affairs of Imulan. He couldn't help but sigh that there were so many people in the well who were worried about Uncle You. He felt a little unhappy and was not willing to refuse openly. He said, "I'm so stupid. Now that the Princess of Bihai Country is here, how can I show off my skills? Why don't you ask Your Princess to be aware of him? Let's listen carefully."
Only then did everyone realize that amid the sound of flattery just now, Princess Yinquan Zhu Yuxiao and two maids entered the tent, sitting silently in a corner for a while.
When Zhu Yuxiao heard Su Xiaochen say this, she slowly stood up and looked around everyone. She didn't politely, but just smiled at the corner of her lips:
"The autumn night is long, I just came to listen to a few words to pass the time, and I don't want to disturb you."
The prince said, "I hope my aunt will not refuse. You and I are both royal families. They are state affairs, but ordinary family affairs are ordinary. If my aunt doesn't speak, how dare they talk about it."
After hearing this, Zhu Yuxiao felt that it made some sense, so she nodded and said, "Well, then I will say a few words, it won't be an article, there will be news about the Qing Dynasty."
"My blue sea border is thousands of lakes and islands, three parts of soil and seven parts of water. If we talk about water, it is even wider than the Naimulan Kingdom. Since ancient times, people have mostly been based on fishing and farming. Thinking about the blue sea hundreds of years ago, there was no country or monarch, one island and one village, and they were self-governed and managed, and they were all at peace. Later, merchants were prevalent and boats were swaying, and there were commercial businesses between island villages. There were more large and small businesses, and they formed alliances, which were called merchant alliances. Although profit was the first priority between merchant alliances, those who could stand for a hundred years were based on trust and harmony were the most important. When encountering problems, they could discuss them. However, the only thing that had many disputes and disputes was the difference between merchant currency and measurements between merchant alliances."
Zhu Yuxiao's voice was clear and gentle, as if pearls and jade fell on the plate, and everyone was impressed. Only the prince did not understand the intention of the Shang alliance, so he could only pretend to understand and sit upright.
"At that time, a strange woman appeared. She was good at dancing, wise and knowledgeable about people's hearts, and was very rich and good at business. It was this woman who traveled to major business alliances to jointly seek a unified business currency measurement and work together to achieve one-and-one. This move lasted for several years, and finally, a hundred years ago, we gathered together the eight major business alliances in the Blue Sea to gather in Taiye Island to unify the business currency and measurement. In order to achieve long-term stability, the business alliances formed a country and called the Blue Sea Kingdom. Since there was a country, we must not be without a master. Everyone was grateful to the contribution of this strange woman, and they all named her as the queen and the founding emperor of the country, and were my grandmother."
Everyone couldn't help but secretly praise him in private.
Zhu Yuxiao looked calm and continued, "Then she connected Taiye Island, Taiqing Island, and Taiying Island with palace walls to build cities, towers, and three islands are connected by one, and named Taiye City. The city is built again, and it is the capital of Taiye Kingdom. I think she built the Bihai Kingdom, and no one soldier has been used. It can be said that no one has been able to do this in ancient times." After saying that, everyone whispered and nodded to their surprise.
When the prince heard that "no one has ever been able to do this throughout the ages", he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and feel dissatisfied. "Doctor Xun" was the faction that advocated the prince's carriage to go first. At this moment, he saw it and wanted to ask for some face for the prince. Because he had been walking in the Ministry of Rites for many years and knew about the blue sea, he deliberately asked:
"I heard that the imperial tradition of your country is not passed on to men, but what is the allusion?"
Zhu Yuxiao sighed: "This is also a misfortune for the country. I, a man in the blue sea, has not lived forever since ancient times. He was over forty years old and had bloody stools and weak strength. Few people in the country live for over fifty years, but women are extremely long, and there are many people over seventy years old. In order to protect the country's fortune, the Ming Emperor decided to set the national policy of inheriting the imperial tradition of women and not men."
When the prince heard this, he couldn't help but remember that there were also cases of incomprehensible deficits in the Li clan due to close relatives and marriages. However, he didn't know why the man in Bihai did not live. In fact, every family had difficult sutras to recite, so he couldn't help but feel silent.
Everyone observed his words and expressions, thinking that he was sad about the fact that the man in the blue sea would not live, and they also made sad and sad as if he was silent. Only General Cao's reaction was slower and very straightforward, and suddenly asked:
"Who will join the army if there is no man in the Bihai Country?"
"I had almost no soldiers at that time."
"There are no soldiers? What should I do when fighting?" General Cao stared at the sight of confusion.
"That's why the Battle of Poison Gold..." Zhu Yuxiao seemed to remember some dusty past events, and her face was uncomfortable. She turned to Su Xiaochen: "Chen'er, Uncle Muyun has taught you a lot. You know these past events best, so let's talk for me." Then he turned to the prince, "I'm a little tired, please forgive me." After saying that, he ignored whether the prince answered or not, and nodded slightly, and then floated out of the tent.
As soon as Zhu Yuxiao went out, everyone looked at Su Xiaochen with one eye.
Battle of Poison and Gold?
Su Xiaochen scratched his head and said, "...but this has to start with Imulan. Do you listen?"
Everyone changed their disgusting expressions just now, and nodded like a chicken pecking at the rice: "Listen, of course, listen!"
Su Xiaochen said: "Although the Imura Kingdom is vast, it rarely goes south, and there are Jueling Peak that stretches thousands of miles away. The Imura people don't know that there is a world outside the mountain. It was not until about 40 years ago that a traveling merchant from Bihai Kingdom accidentally discovered a natural valley at the junction of the upper reaches of the Hanjiang River and Jueling Peak. It is called Jian Valley, which is curved and curved, and it actually leads directly to the desert. It also meets Imura's nomadic fleet. Imura's abundant iron fur and lacks grain rice. Bihai produces grain rice and medicinal materials and lacks iron. The merchant exchanged some medicines he carried with him for some of the Imura's scimitars. He was happy and agreed to exchange it three months later. After the merchant returned to Bihai, he knew about the Merchant Alliance and formed a caravan and went there again. Three months later, the other party came as scheduled. He went back and forth, and made a lot of profits both times, so there was a black market."
