The emperor didn't know that Zhou Man and the others were visiting flower houses in Silla at this time.
The people, clothing, and architecture here in Silla are all very different from those in the Jin Dynasty, but when they arrived in Jincheng, they saw the shadow of the Jin Dynasty.
Many people here dress like Jin people and speak Chinese, so Bai Shan and others are not very out of place here.
But as long as they take to the streets, you can still tell that they are from Jin.
I heard that after the new Queen of Silla came to the throne, she ordered the people to learn the clothes and language of the Jin people. She had studied in Jin Dynasty and hoped that the relationship between Silla and Jin Dynasty could be further developed.
As the former left prime minister of the Jin Dynasty, Bai Shan knew better and told several people: "In the past, Goguryeo suppressed Baekje and Silla in the north, blocking the exchanges between the two countries and the Jin Dynasty. In addition, Goguryeo had many conflicts with the Jin Dynasty.
The late emperor was disrespectful and repeatedly sent troops to invade the border, so the late emperor established Jian'an Prefecture, Liaocheng Prefecture Governor's Office and Andong Governor's Office. Unexpectedly, within a few years after the border was stable, Baekje took advantage of its proximity to the Jin Dynasty and repeatedly crossed the border.
The relationship between Silla and the Jin Dynasty blocked Silla's worship, so the Queen of Silla repeatedly wrote letters requesting the imperial court to send troops to attack Baekje together."
Bai Shan spoke for such a long time, but then his voice changed, "But these are all appearances..."
Zhou Man and others: "...What about the truth?"
"The truth is that one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers. Silla has always wanted to annex Baekje, and Baekje has always wanted to annex Silla. This year you beat me, and next year I will beat you." Bai Shandao: "Originally, this is nothing. His Majesty told us early on.
, this is the internal affairs of the two countries, and Jin Dynasty will not interfere."
Silla is a vassal state of the Jin Dynasty, as is Baekje. It is equivalent to two godsons fighting on their own. It is not good for the adoptive father to help anyone, so he simply turned a blind eye and pretended not to see anything, and the fighting was fierce.
, for the sake of the people of the two countries, they act as peacemakers and try to persuade them. Whether they can persuade them or not depends entirely on them.
"However, Baekje has been very rampant in recent years, which made His Majesty unhappy," Bai Shan said: "The maritime trade of Jin Dynasty is developed. When the maritime trade just started, Baekje and the Japanese robbed our merchant ships of Jin Dynasty. At that time, Governor Guo joined forces with An
The Eastern Protectorate cleared them, and they were stable for a few years, but they were dishonest a few years ago, so His Majesty was very unhappy."
When two godsons fight, it's unclear who is right and who is wrong. The emperor doesn't care, but the godson turns around and grabs his own son's things, cutting off the other godson's way of paying tribute like his old father. That's very annoying.
.
"His Majesty's temper has improved a lot in the past few years, but I think if Baekje continues like this, his temper will no longer be able to be suppressed."
The implication is that the emperor is likely to agree to the Queen of Silla's proposal and send troops to pacify Baekje together.
Zhou Man: "Then shall we go to Baekje?"
"Go ahead, take a walk around on your way back and then leave," Bai Shan said with a smile, "They haven't started fighting yet, and there are a lot of merchant ships going between Dajin and Baekje. It'll be fine if we go."
Yin You then smiled and said: "Since I want to go to the flower houses of Japan, I might as well visit the flower houses of the Three Kingdoms and see the differences."
Zhou Man and the others went there excitedly, but in the end they came back disappointed. There was not much difference, they were all dancing and singing. The difference was that the Flower House of the Three Kingdoms also added storytelling items, but the most talked about
It is about the Great Jin Dynasty, and it uses the book written by Bai Erlang as a reference, which is not fresh at all.
They had listened to Bai Erlang's book so many times during their trip to restaurants and teahouses.
Bai Erlang was very happy and said excitedly along the way: "I didn't expect that I have so many overseas fans."
Bai Shan and Zhou Manyin nodded, "I didn't expect that."
Mingda encouraged Bai Erlang, "Write more?"
Bai Erlang rolled his eyes, "How about I write down the places we visited?"
Bai Shan and others didn't have any objections, "You can write if you want, just a little, and don't slander us."
Bai Erlang muttered, "When have I ever slandered you?"
Zhou Man was dissatisfied at first, "Isn't that too little? When you were ordered to write about Taibai Jinxing, why did you specifically write that she is a dwarf?"
Bai Erlang glanced at Zhou Man up and down, and his meaning was self-evident.
Zhou Man's feet were a little itchy. She tried to control herself in her heart. She has grown up now and is a well-educated adult. She can't move her feet, she can't move her feet...
With the convenience of Zhouman traveling around the vassal states, Keke gained a lot. Although it was difficult to visit all of Silla and Baekje, they passed through all the main places.
If Zhou Mandu was not afraid of the inconvenience caused by revealing his identity, he would have paid the locals to dig up some rare flowers and plants and send them to him. It would definitely be more convenient to work together.
But she finally suppressed this idea, especially when she found that Bai Shan was painting the hilly landscape and towns they passed.
It is not easy to make a map, especially such a detailed map. Only Bai Shan and Yin Hue among their group can draw it. Zhou Man and others also help and provide some reference for their data.
By the time they visited the Japanese country and returned to Dajin, it was already the summer of the second year.
Zhou Lang was eager to see them. When he saw them, he couldn't help but rushed forward and held Zhou Man's hand. He cried, "You guys are really good at shopping. Do you know that I haven't dared to go home this year because I'm afraid that I will be arrested when I go home?"
Big brother and sister-in-law beat me up, why don’t you know how to think about me, this poor fourth brother..."
Zhou Liwei stood aside with a smile and said to Zhou Man: "Sister-in-law, my eldest uncle and eldest aunt are calling my eldest brother every now and then to write letters to scold my fourth uncle, saying that I shouldn't find a boat for you to go to sea. It's so dangerous out there."
Zhou Man walked around in front of them and said, "Do you think I'm in danger?"
Bai Erlang said: "We have had a great year outside. Brother Zhou, don't worry."
"You are living a good life, but we are not doing well," Zhou Lang looked at Bai Erlang after crying, "Prince-in-law, the people sent by His Majesty to pick up the princess have been waiting at Longchi Pier."
The five of them looked at each other and went to meet someone together.
It has been more than three years since they left Beijing, and they are finally ready to return to Beijing under the emperor's expectation.
Zhou Lang stayed in Qingzhou this year. Now he received his true master and went back with them.
Zhou Liwei's career has always been in Qingzhou. Because he was not born in the imperial examination, his official rank was limited and he was always at the sixth rank. Qingzhou was the best place to develop. After all, the largest salt field in the Jin Dynasty is now in Qingzhou.
Over the years, he occasionally returned to Beijing to visit relatives, and occasionally brought his parents over to support him.
Unfortunately, Zhou Erlang prefers Qili Village to Qingzhou and Beijing, so he came here to see his son. He will live there for a year and a half and then go back home. He is not happy to live abroad for a long time.
Old Zhou Tou had the idea and simply let Zhou Liwei establish a separate lineage here. Anyway, Old Zhou's family had long been separated, and no matter where he was, this was his grandson. Wasn't it his bloodline?
He was quite proud to say it. He only had to think about it. Hundreds of years later, relatives from the other side of Qingzhou came to find him. When it came to relatives, they all came from his ancestor. How proud he was.
Of course, he would only talk about this little thought in front of his old wife and young daughter, and would not tell anyone else.
So Zhou Man, who knew what Old Zhou was thinking, patted his shoulder with satisfaction after seeing Zhou Liwei's children and grandchildren, "Well done, teach the children well and don't let them humiliate our old Zhou family."
Zhou Liwei, who didn't understand Zhou Man's meaning at all, thought he did, and nodded fiercely: "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I will teach them well. Don't worry, they are not good at reading, but their character is fine and will never be bad."
The reputation of our old Zhou family."
Although he didn't understand it correctly, Zhou Man was very satisfied with this answer.
