Understanding the era you are in is like seeing the fog clearing, and Li Luo immediately had a clear understanding of the world.

He knew that Jianghua Island where he was currently located was Jiangdu, which was the Goryeo Dynasty ten years ago, and was the residence of the Goryeo Wangting.

Li Luo remembers that around 1230, in order to avoid the Mongolian army, the powerful Goryeo minister Cui Yi controlled the Goryeo King to open the capital from Beijing to move the capital Jianghua Island, and changed Jianghua Island to "Jiangdu", thus beginning the "Jiangdu era" of the Goryeo dynasty for 40 years.

During the Jiangdu era, the Mongolian army invaded Goryeo five times and slaughtered cities at every turn. In Tiezhou alone, Pingzhou slaughtered more than 100,000 people in Goryeo.

The countermeasure of Goryeo's monarch and ministers was to hide on Jianghua Island to maintain the small court and remain silent as an ostrich. Because the Mongols were not accustomed to water wars, and Mongolia's main energy was to destroy Jin and have no time to look east during the Western Expedition, Goryeo actually survived the most dangerous period of destruction of the country like a shit.

During this period, the powerful minister Cui was defeated, and the "military minister regime" that ruled Goryeo for a hundred years ended, and King Goryeo regained power. The father and son of Goryeo Yuanzong and King Zhonglie adopted a completely different policy towards the Yuan Dynasty from the Cui family, and turned to a comprehensive surrender to Mongolia.

After obtaining the promise of the Yuan Dynasty to retain the country of Goryeo, the Goryeo monarch and ministers finally moved the king from Jianghua Island to Kaijing, and the Jiangdu era ended. Goryeo gave up the temple name and the reign of the Yuan Dynasty, and became a puppet regime of the Yuan Dynasty.

King Zhonglie not only married Kublai Khan's daughter as queen, but also promised that every generation of Goryeo king would marry the Yuan Dynasty's clan daughter as queen, and became the "Son-in-law" of the Yuan Dynasty.

The Yuan Dynasty simply classified Goryeo as the "East Province" and named Goryeo King Pingzhang, the prime minister of the "East Province" of the Yuan Dynasty. In terms of legal principles, Goryeo became part of the territory of the Yuan Dynasty.

Therefore, at this time, Goryeo was no longer even a vassal state, but in fact it became a vassal state of the Yuan Dynasty.

But Kublai Khan was still worried about Goryeo's "loyalty". Politically, the Yuan Dynasty sent a large number of Mongolians to serve as "Daluhachi" and supervised and controlled the Goryeo regime in the Goryeo court.

Military, not only did the elite Mongolian "Detective Ma Red Army", but also set up a Shuangcheng General Administration in the north to control Goryeo, and also classified the northern territory, including Pyongyang in Xijing, as direct rule of the Yuan Dynasty.

At this point, millions of Goryeo people worked as cows and horses for the Mongol Yuan. The reason why Goryeo still existed was that Kublai Khan gave Goryeo monarchs and ministers to the face of the Emperor Dayuan.

Of course, after all, it is much better than the Southern Song and Jin dynasties, which completely destroyed their country.

The current King of Goryeo is King Zhonglie Wang Shi. As far as Li Luo knows, this man went to Yuan Dadu many times in his life to express his loyalty to his master Kublai Khan. During his time as the prince of Goryeo, he stayed in Dadu as a hostage. He stayed in Dadu for a long time and became a "Harmon". After he inherited the throne, he even took the initiative to shave his hair and change his clothes, changed his official system, and respected Mongolia.

According to historical records, a few years ago, the Yuan Dynasty first conquered Japan, recruited a large number of Koryo people to make warships and supply food and grass, and also required the Koryo people to serve as cannon fodder, which led to the people's miserable life.

But King Zhonglie did everything, without any disobedience. When the army conquered Japan was destroyed by hurricanes at the sea, none of the tens of thousands of Goryeo soldiers who were traveling with him survived. He heard the revenge and was "sighed and said he was destined."

At most two years later, Kublai Khan would launch the Second Eastern Expedition to Japan. At this time, a large number of Goryeo civilians must have been recruited to build warships in the southeastern seaport again.

This is Goryeo.

Looking westward, more than 100 million people of all ethnic groups, mainly Han people, were all dogs and sheep, and wailed under the iron hoof of the Mongol Yuan, and countless people were massacred. The vast fertile soil of China was half-formed as a pasture. The magnificent etiquette land suddenly became a place where Hushou language and smelled, with endless blood, like the Shura field.

In order to suppress the resistance of all ethnic groups and maintain the rule of the Mongolian nobles, the Yuan court openly implemented the four-class system. The Mongolians were naturally superior, while the Han people became the lowest class and became slaves and servants.

The Yuan court also implemented an unprecedentedly strict Baojia system, with Mongolians and Semu people as the main players, confiscating and controlling civilian iron tools.

The power of local governments at all levels is controlled by the Mongolians as "Daluhuachi". Han officials have no power to make decisions, but they just give in. As a result, the officials are corrupt, exploitation is heavy, cruel officials are rampant, corruption is sensational, and countless unjust cases are shocking.

Li Luo remembers historical records that in order to maintain the luxurious life of Mongolian nobles and endless foreign wars, the Yuan Dynasty paid five to ten times the taxes and labor service that were five to ten times that of the Jin Dynasty and the Song Dynasty.

The people are poor and wealthy, and every family is like a mourning. Even if they sell their children and daughters, there are many sellers and very few buyers.

The Yuan Dynasty was the only period in history when the people lived a hard life from their establishment to their demise. After more than 100 years of rule over the Central Plains, there was no even a decorative world that decorated the storefront, let alone a prosperous era.

This is even worse than that of the Qing Dynasty in later generations. Although the Qing Dynasty is inferior, at least there is a half-true and half-false Kanggan prosperous era, at least it has achieved a large population growth.

However, the "God of Yuan Dynasty" had a population of 130 million at the beginning, and there were only 80 million before the Hongwu Uprising, and the population grew negatively throughout the whole time.

This shows the cruelty and cruelty of the Mongol Yuan rule. This is because the Mongol Yuan was actually a semi-slave and semi-feudal rule, with a strong tribal color. The Mongolian aristocrats of all sizes were equivalent to slave owners, and they regarded the land of the people as private property.

Goryeo is somewhat sovereign, so although the people's lives are also difficult, they are still better than China.

Li Luo sighed secretly. He can't go back to China for the time being.

"The father-in-law, the boy's name is Li Luo, who comes from the Li family in Renzhou and once became a monk. She is the inner son Cui Xiuning, who comes from the Cui family in Haizhou." Li Luo fabricated a life experience and took the initiative to introduce himself.

Since he knew the specific era, he certainly knew that the Li family in Renzhou and Cui family in Haizhou were both top Goryeo clans. In fact, the Goryeo dynasty at this time was indeed ruled by aristocrats, with strict hierarchy, the same as the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties.

If you are not from a noble family, it is difficult to become an official. If you don’t pretend to be a noble family, you will be extremely difficult to do something in the future. It is a luxury to want to make yourself live a prosperous life.

As for his once-a-monk, of course, it was his saying that his hair was too short.

Li Luo is not afraid of exposing it. The situation in Goryeo has changed drastically over the past decades, and both the Li family in Renzhou and Cui family in Haizhou have been hit hard. Many families left Goryeo, either traveling east to Japan or going west to Central Plains. If you want to check the basics, it is really difficult to investigate.

The Jurchen old man said a little perfunctorily: "It turns out that he is a disciple of the high school, but I am disrespectful."

In his opinion, the young couple had fair and slender appearance, noble temperament, and good conversation. It was not because of their origins that they were strange. However, although the Li family of Renzhou and Cui family of Haizhou were top Korean clans, he might not really look down on them.

When Cui Xiuning heard Li Luo introduce herself like this, she lowered her head and cursed in her heart. If it weren't for the old man present, she would have taught Li Luo a lesson.

Li Luo had no choice but to say again: "I took the liberty to disturb my father-in-law, but I haven't asked for the name of Zun's surname." Although the old man looked so angry that he was depressed, his temperament was very extraordinary. Li Luo wanted to test it.

The old man shook his head and said, "It's not worth mentioning. I'm a decade old, so you should call me Dad Yan Duo."

Yan Duo? Li Luo understood a little.

The two of them called Dad Yan Duo, which was considered a re-celebration. At that time, the two changed their clothes one by one and saw Dad Yan Duo put out three plates. There was only a little kimchi on the plate, but there was no chili on the kimchi.

Yan Luo took off the roasted lamb from the fire and spread his legs to the two of them, saying, "There is no good hospitality, no food or wine, just order barbecue and pickles."

The two of them thanked me and couldn't wait to eat it. They just felt that they had never eaten such delicious game and kimchi. They were so hungry.

Seeing the eating look of the two, Yan Duo couldn't help but smile, and suddenly saw the shadow of his son and daughter-in-law again.

After eating and wearing warm clothes, Li Luo and Cui Xiuning felt much more comfortable. The two of them held back their burps and held the thick coats to make fire. They felt that the suffering experience on the snow-capped mountains seemed like the past years and became very far away.

Cui Xiuning touched Li Luo without any trace and handed him a look.

Li Luo immediately understood and immediately took out the belt he used before, handed it to Yan Duo with both hands and said, "Dad Yan Duo, the younger couple, are lucky to have received hospitality, and have worn a lot of clothes, and they are ineffective. They are ashamed of not leaving any money, so they can only give it to their father with this belt. Please do not refuse."

Yan Duo took the crocodile belt, looked carefully, and pondered: "It's not cowhide, nor deer skin, nor rhinoceros skin. This skin is so good that it seems to be more than rhinoceros skin."

Li Luo said: "This is a crocodile skin, a big water beast."

Yan Duo showed a look of surprise, "This buckle is full of brilliance, neither gold, silver, nor copper, nor iron. What material is it made of? And the workmanship is extraordinary, even the things in the palace may not be comparable."

Li Luo said: "This is indeed a thing in the palace, but it comes from the overseas Western Yi Kingdom Palace. This buckle material is a bonus, and it is rare even in the Western country, and it is worth ten times the gold."

Cui Xiuning suddenly coughed, lowered her head, her face blushed, and her expression seemed a little painful.

However, Yan Duo's father was furious and said, "How can I accept such a valuable thing? It's just some clothes and food. You should not be given a heavy gift, so take it back quickly!" After saying that, he stuffed the belt to Li Luo without saying a word.

Li Luo gave him another trip, and saw that Yan Duo was about to get angry, so he gave up.

Yan Duo said: "Since you are penniless, you can sell the bonus belt. However, the ones that can buy bonus belts nearby are the Liu family in Mobeizhai. The Liu family is a branch of the Liu family in Zhenzhou. The head of the family serves as a fifth-rank official position. It is a wealthy family on the island, and it is still possible to buy this belt for thousands of yuan."

Is there such a good thing? Li Luo couldn't help but be overjoyed, and even Cui Xiuning couldn't help but feel a little excited.

It was already evening at this time, and Yan Duo's father asked the two to stay for a while and borrow another room. It would not be too late to go to the Liu family to sell bonus belts tomorrow.

Cui Xiuning heard the two of them live in the same room, and her eyes clearly distinguished black and white glanced at Li Luo coldly, and a snorted indifferently, which was self-evident.

Of course, Li Luo would not care about Cui Xiuning. Not only because he is a man, but also because Cui Xiuning actually gave him a very good impression.

When Choi Soo-ning first pursued him, he was about to escape from the border. At that time, she had already taken out her pistol and prepared to shoot.

However, she did not shoot in the end.

At that time, the two were only a few dozen meters apart. If she fired, it would be hard to say what would happen to him.

In that case, Choi Soo-ning could shoot, and there was more than one chance to shoot. But she didn't shoot, and Li Luo successfully escaped.

Later, Li Luo entrusted people from China to check out the general information of Cui Xiuning. He only knew that she had a very background in her family and was a second-generation official.

Other unknown.

It is already good for such a woman to do these things.

Another reason is that Li Luo himself also feels guilty. He is a man with a very national heart, but he has sold national cultural relics more than once, causing irreparable cultural losses, so he has always felt guilty in his conscience.
