Seeing the two thoughtful people beside him, Yun Ye would not tell them that the golden city that Qiu He mentioned did not exist at all. Jiaozhou is rich in savages, but not gold. He expected a group of savages who eat wild fruits to build a city.
Golden City?
The existing civilization here was introduced from the Central Plains. It was not until Qin Shihuang drove his long chariot through Lingnan and 300,000 Qin troops entered this barbaric land that there was real civilization. Various civilizations that appeared in later generations,
They are nothing more than a continuation of the Han civilization. Coupled with the erosion of Indian Buddhism and the spread of Islam southward, it formed a deformed cultural prosperity in the subcontinent.
Qiu He desperately wanted the Tang army to clear out the Linyi Kingdom for him, even if it was deception. He also wanted to kill Li Jiao, so that he could have the final say over the entire mountain forest by himself.
.
Even if it was exposed in the future, it wouldn't be a big deal. At most, the Tang army would search more in his own area. To put it bluntly, it would be some food, gems, etc., which he didn't care about.
Yun Ye didn't believe his nonsense from the beginning. He never believed it. His goal was food. Once he found it, he would be satisfied. Transporting it back to Chang'an was a victory. What's wrong with it?
The more gems you get, the less valuable they will be when you return to Chang'an. Even these gold objects and gems now seem to Yun Ye to be too much. With so many good things coming out all at once, you have to consider the capacity of the market, right?
A hungry market is a good market. When all the women in Chang'an have gems on their heads, will they still be called gems? They are just luminous stones.
At this time, food was more effective than gems. Unfortunately, the impoverished Sun Renshi didn't understand, nor did the ambitious Liu Renyuan, so they still got a lot of stones for themselves.
The bay I am crossing now is the famous Beibu Gulf in later generations. It has an excellent natural harbor and rich fishing grounds. Many rivers flow into the sea from here, creating a variety of fishery resources. This should be a land of plenty. Unfortunately, there are too many people.
few.
It's such a waste. It's a waste of nature's gifts. Yun Ye looked at the naked savages paddling canoes and spearing fish with bamboo spears from a distance, and felt sad. The poor land in Guanzhong has been reclaimed for several times.
For thousands of years, the land has become barren, and the stubborn rural sentiments allow those hardworking people to continue to ask for harvests from that land day after day.
The Tang Dynasty has been staring at both sides of the river, but it does not know that the violent river has long been full of hostility to mankind. The Tang Dynasty will be the last dynasty it moisturizes, and it will not open up until the next dynasty begins.
The bloody mouth began to swallow up life...
Yun Ye sat on the bow of the boat and set up a small barbecue stove. The fish was too big to grill. He brushed the crimson fish meat with soybean oil over and over again. Sprinkled it with fine salt, then applied a layer of red chili oil, and other
Yun Ye doesn't have much interest in spices, and even has some aversion to spices. Today's food itself is extremely delicious. If he wasn't afraid of parasites, he would definitely like Tang Dynasty's spicy food.
The fish meat was cooked, and the aroma was overflowing. Even Master Sun Ren, who came from a noble family, was salivating. Yun Ye took a bite and found that the taste was not good, so he stopped eating and pointed at Liu Jinbao, indicating that he could eat it.
Naturally, Sun Renshi didn't like the leftover food, but Liu Jinbao and Dongyu didn't have such worries. Each of them took one and enjoyed the happiness that their low status brought them.
He gave Sun Renshi a glass of wine, and the two of them leaned on the side of the boat and talked casually.
"Master Marquis, we obviously still have five days to use. Why did you give up the attack on Linyi State? You must know that that small country will not be able to survive our attack for an hour. I will not understand why you
Will give up that tempting goal."
"General Sun, targets that are too tempting are usually fake. Calm down and think about it. Do you really think there is such a country in the jungle? If there was, Feng Ang had been in Lingnan for many years. How could he not know where it could be?
It’s our turn, you don’t think Feng Ang can’t defeat such a small country, do you?”
"Qiu He dares to deceive us, he is tired of living!" After brushing away the gold covering his eyes, Sun Renshi was still a wise man, and he understood all the joints in this in an instant.
"Old Sun, you are the general of the Tang Dynasty. This time we are here to collect food, not to fight. Although we can eliminate Linyi quietly, what will we do after it is eliminated? Let Qiu He dominate alone? Here
You can see with your own eyes how wealthy he is. The grain we took away, within two years, he will still have this much grain.
He deceived us, what can we do to him? The most he can do is exploit him. It is impossible to kill him. Your Majesty will not allow us to do this. Unless your Majesty sends officials to lead the place, you can safely kill Lin Yiguo. "
"Such a rich land, with its existence, the national power of the Tang Dynasty will immediately double. Without the worry of food and grass, the army can reach the horizon."
A general will always only think about it from a military perspective. With food, the first thing is to use it as military food, and making achievements is a big deal. As for what to do with the acquired land, that is a matter for civilian officials and is not within the scope of his consideration.
Talking about political economics with Sun Renshi, Yun Ye felt that he had found the wrong person. A general is like a sledgehammer. He treats the enemy like a hammer to a nail. If it can't be smashed at once, then hit it two or three times until it hits.
Before I went in, I had been living like this for too long. Everything looked like a nail, and I wanted to hit it twice consciously or unconsciously. With a hammer, other tools can rest.
After the food was shipped back, Wu Shi, who was smiling and wrinkled, went to each ship personally and inspected each cabin on a hot day. As for tonight's meal, there was no need to prepare it for him because he had to catch it on every ship.
He rubbed off the skin of a handful of millet and put it in his mouth to eat. After he tasted the grain, he would probably be full.
The cabin is not a good place to put food. If it gets soaked in water, everything will be ruined. In addition, the rainy season in Lingnan is coming. We must leave here before the rainy season comes and ride the southeast monsoon blowing from the ocean slowly along the coastline.
Sailing around half of the Tang Dynasty, the grain was delivered to Shandong. Then it was transported by land to Jizhou and sent to Chang'an along the Grand Canal.
Traveling long distances is bound to be unsafe. This voyage has been carefully arranged under the guidance of Master Sun Ren.
It's sad to think about such an important material transportation. The civil servants and generals of the whole dynasty seemed to turn a blind eye and ignore it, leaving a group of young people to mess around. The tongueless secret music was like a lost sea. I don't know what happened in Chang'an, and the empire's eyes were on it.
On the grassland, facing the far south, they all chose to forget.
It wasn't because he didn't feel bad, or even a little resentful, that Li Er took 60% of the profits from them. Even with Zhang Liang as a fig leaf, he couldn't hide the fact that the royal family was suppressing the growth of the family.
"Bring it back. It must be shipped back!" Li Er's short letter made Yun Ye feel the tremendous pressure he was under. Li Er probably couldn't send a capable minister to handle this matter.
The military knew that the ships given to them would not be big, and the officials sent would not be young. The supplies given to the young captains would not be large, and everyone in the court was using this method to express their dissatisfaction to Li Er.
When Li Er came to the throne, he and his subordinates made a vow to share wealth and wealth and never abandon each other. There was no need to make a big move unless it was rebellion. Li Er has implemented it very well in the past few years, and has created a new interest class with constant rewards.
However, if there is a class, it will have its own interests, some of which are even contrary to the interests of the country.
Poor Ma Zhou even now thought that his opinions were tactfully accepted by the emperor, but he didn't know that Li Er was using him to send a signal to those greedy nobles and wealthy families, hoping that they would restrain themselves. The result was not good, Ma Zhou said.
Zhou became a figure reviled by thousands of people, but he was a figure personally praised by the emperor. To be ruined to such an extent meant that he had no regard for the emperor's face.
This time, Changsun Wuji stood on his opposite side, which made the lonely emperor extremely angry.
Yun Ye's exile in Lingnan gave him a glimmer of hope. Perhaps this child could give him a chance to break out. Dou Yanshan's mysterious appearance made the emperor almost think that God was helping him. Otherwise, there was no way to explain the connection.
After careful consideration, Li Er did not give Yun Ye a second order, but wrote a few words in the form of a letter from home. He believed that Yun Ye would understand his difficulties and would try his best to transport the food back.
Chang'an's treasury was drained for various reasons that he could not refuse. Now, Li Er is betting that Yun Ye can bring back all the goods and relieve the poor treasury.
The letter from the eldest grandson was much gentler. He just asked Yun Ye to do his best to return safely. He didn't mention food or treasures, not a word, but Yun Ye could see the impatience on fire between the lines.
Xin Yue's letter was simple and clear, saying nothing, only Yun Bao Yun Shou's palm prints and footprints. The small mark made Yun Ye burst into tears. The emperor's letter and the queen's letter were immediately thrown aside.
Looking carefully at the sun, this is the most beautiful pattern in the world.
"Are these Shou'er's footprints and handprints?'
Li Anlan took the letter, compared it with his hands and said: "My hands and feet are not as big as Rong'er's. How did Xin Yue raise a child? The children raised in the good place in Guanzhong are not as strong as the children I raised in the land of distribution."
After saying that, he raised his son in front of Yun Ye to show off. He took his son, raised his fat arms, looked at his armpits, and then spread the child's buttocks to see if there was any skin damage. The humidity and heat in Lingnan are very harmful to the child's skin.
The damage is great, especially those areas with skin folds, which can easily fester and become flooded if you are not careful. Without talcum powder, I just have to watch and bathe frequently.
"They are all my flesh and blood, and they are all my life. Grow up well. When you go to the capital, you must take the child with you. Grandma has been talking about meeting her eldest grandson. I don't dare to delay this matter. Grandma's
He is getting older, and if something happens to me this time, it might cause a serious blow to his elderly family."
ps: Brother, such an obvious little pit. Everyone knows that there is no Thailand, no Myanmar, no Laos in this era. The rulers of the jungles in Southeast Asia are monkeys. You can find out how big Jiaozhou was in ancient times by Baidu. I don’t need to say more.
, that area has only been surrendered to the imperial court for a few years. Feng An is always ready to rebel. Do you expect Qiu He to be honest? Land that has not been conquered by soldiers is not considered his own land. Yun Ye's goal is food, not gold, not
Treasures, those things are worthless if they are too many. Yun Ye is still having a headache how to turn those things into copper coins, otherwise the jade and pearls will be useless in the treasury.
