In the Liangyi Palace, we passed several rounds of wine.
Du Fuwei came all the way from Jiangling. He was worried and had not eaten properly for many days. Now he saw a table full of food and wine. Although he tried his best to restrain himself, his mouth was still full of oil.
While thanking Li Po for his hospitality, he frequently raised his glass to drink with Li Po. He drank a lot and ate an astonishing amount. Before he could eat much, half of the dishes on the table had disappeared.
"The food in Chang'an is really delicious. Your Majesty doesn't know that. In the past few years, I could only eat seafood in Jiangzuo, and the food we ate was full of fishy smell. Later, when there was more food, the life of I and others became easier.
I heard that Yang Guang had a good life in Jiangdu in the past, and he lived a good life. How could it not be the case when it was our turn? They all said that Yang Guang harmed others and himself. I see, even those guys who talk nonsense can't get away with it.
Open a relationship.
When Li Zitong was here, he ransacked many people's homes and used a lot of grain and grass for the military. Everyone praised Li Zitong. I also felt that those whose property was confiscated did not die unjustly. There were so many people in the family.
Food, and helping Yang Guang dominate and prosper, he deserves to be unlucky.
But later, when I became a householder, I realized that those people's crimes were not worthy of death, and many of them were actually useful. They had to be the ones who managed the place.
Let’s just say that those people who started with me are not very literate. They can fight with others desperately, but how can they save lives?”
Listening to his rambling talk, which didn't look like he had drunk too much, Li Po finally understood that this person was a talkative person. He would talk a lot, and sometimes he didn't even have the main point, and he could still take care of himself.
Keep talking.
Li Po had not seen such a person for a long time, that is, those old people in Mayi who dared to speak in front of him. As he became more and more prominent, his ministers had to go through three times in their hearts if they wanted to speak.
Especially now, who dares to chat with the emperor about nothing? There is no point in what he says, and every sentence is wrong. The emperor will be annoyed and walk around in pain.
Thinking about those old people, Huang Zongyou is the best among them. Now he is also a lieutenant of Mayi County. His promotion is not slow, but he has almost reached the top.
……………………
Of course, Li Po also has topics that interest him, and he won't always listen to Du Fuwei's nagging.
"Jiang Zuoxiang claims to be rich. Is it really so chaotic that everyone can't even have enough to eat, so they actually need to fish for a living?"
Du Fuwei took two bites of the food, swallowed it and said: "Isn't that right? I heard people say that when Wang Shichong was the general guard of Jiangdu, Jiangnan was already in chaos. When I arrived later, the rebels were indeed
There are many, and those wealthy people have raised armies to protect themselves.
The land was all gone. It was stronger than Shandong, but not much stronger. Yang Guang had no choice but to hide in Jiangdu City. Later, Yang Guang died, and once the army left, Jiangzuo was no longer the Sui Dynasty.
The world is over.
What I said is true. If I hadn't taken people out to sea to fish, and got some porcelain, cloth, etc. to trade with others, half of the people in Jiangzuo would have starved to death.
It must have been about the same time when the Supreme Being was in Daibei, right? I heard that the Turks were quite ferocious, but I have never seen them... It is said that the Supreme Being married a Turkic princess, tsk tsk, he is really a hero, and we are all willing to bow down to him."
Li Po laughed, but he said in his heart, "What you said is not right. I can't bear to have you ridicule me again. The days are long, and we can settle the score slowly."
He didn't express his merits to Du Fuwei. I snatched back any princess. He had passed that stage and no one needed to recognize his merits.
He was actually interested in overseas situations. He heard Du Fuwei talk about going to sea several times by boat, so he guided the topic in this direction. In terms of conversation skills, several more Du Fuwei were added together.
Not his opponent.
"You can go out to sea for fishing and trade. The general is very resourceful. I have never gone out to sea by boat, and the farthest I have only been to Goguryeo. Where has the farthest general gone by boat? Ryukyu? Japan? In the south, Linyi?
Funan?"
Li Podao also knew about these countries on the southeastern coast and the Indochina Peninsula, because most of them had been attacked by the Sui Dynasty.
It was recorded in the Sui History. Li Pozheng ordered people to revise the Sui History, read many of the records, and gained a new understanding of the power of the former Sui Dynasty.
Pei Shiqing, the current Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, had sent envoys to Ryukyu and Japan. He didn't know if Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty was the first emperor to attack Ryukyu and make Ryukyu a vassal. Anyway, that's what the Sui history says.
Yang Guang sent Yu Qiwei to go to sea to search for strange customs, and when he saw Ryukyu, he named it Ryukyu.
Yang Guang also sent people to attack Linyi, destroyed its capital, and captured the king of Linyi. Later, he released him back. From then on, Linyi, like Ryukyu, surrendered to the Sui Dynasty.
Du Fuwei nodded in admiration, "The Supreme Being has never been to the sea, yet he knows so many small places. I admire you very much. It took me a long time to know where I was.
Liu Qiuchen has been to the island, and it is said that he is still our minister. When he saw our big ship coming, he treated us as envoys and treated us very well. However, the woman is too dark and not handsome at all."
He laughed like a man when he said this. In fact, he said so many things because he went out to sea many times to make trouble. It was too lonely on the ship. If everyone gathered together and had nothing to do, it would be just bragging.
"I have never been to the Japanese country, but I have seen their people in Liuqiu. They are all very short. When they see us, they lie on the ground and salute, as if they are meeting gods. They are chattering without knowing what they are talking about.
Later, a Liuqiu man told us that the Japanese were saying that they were the same ancestors as us. I was angry at that time and dared to scold me. I led people up to catch them and then they all sank into the sea.
Later, I didn't see any trace of them again. They were probably scared and hid.
Later, I thought it was troublesome, so I built several earthen cities on the seaside. Everyone came here to trade whatever they had. It was really good. If the Supreme Being has time, you can go and have a look. Everyone is there, and the things they say are different.
, very lively.”
This time Li Po was really shocked by him. This guy actually started overseas trade. Damn it...
Then he asked: "How many ships do you have there? How many ships can they withstand the wind and waves on the sea? Well, by the way, when we conquered Liaodong, Lai Hu'er and others also went there by ship. So, those ships were all
Can you afford it?"
Du Fuwei drank another drink proudly, "Yu Wenhuaji left in a hurry. There are many ships in the Jiangdu dock, most of them are new, but it helped me a lot, otherwise I wouldn't be able to go to sea."
After hearing this, Li Po couldn't help but swallow his saliva...
