Yun Er, who is neither noble nor noble, knows in his heart that if he starts from his heart, his two brothers are mentally filthier than most people in the Song Dynasty.
In the Song Dynasty, it was almost normal to promise a thousand pieces of gold. In later generations, such people were almost impossible to see. As soon as one appeared, they were quickly placed on the altar for worship. Because they were rare, people yearned for them.
In the Song Dynasty, if a person stood on the street and shouted that he wanted silver plates and silverware for a family banquet, a restaurant clerk would immediately agree loudly and then put the silverware and food together in the shortest possible time.
Deliver it and then leave without asking the owner for anything like a receipt.
When the restaurant goes to pick up the silverware the next day, it is guaranteed that there will be no missing piece. If it is damaged, the owner will compensate according to the price. The two parties make the transaction in a friendly and affectionate manner, which is enviable.
Yun Er couldn't imagine what would happen in the future. It would be natural for the silverware to be mixed with something made of lead. If the person hosting the banquet ran away with the silverware on his back, it would be a completely normal thing.
Even if they risk their lives, they will protect the reputation of the Yun family brothers. Even though their own interests are closely related to this, their behavior still makes Yun Er a little touched.
Now he finally feels the responsibility that his eldest brother carries, and understands why he must stubbornly go to sea to develop. No matter who has such a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, he will not put everyone's safety and hope at risk.
entrusted to the emperor.
The greetings between Hai Lianzi and Lao Sun have come to an end. In front of them is the harbor. The long pier made of giant wooden nails is already visible. The sailors and guys are lowering the sails. The boss of the boat is already holding a long bamboo penny in his hand.
The boat is ready to dock at the pier.
"Old Sun, even if I drink your wine, I won't drink it in vain. You just came here to tell you something. A shipping company is about to be established on Heishan Island."
Old Sun was stunned for a moment and said: "When did it happen? Who established the Shipping Department on Montenegro Island? Is it Sulla Hague? Is he crazy?"
Hai Lianzi said with a smile: "Brother, this news of mine is absolutely accurate. A shipping department is indeed going to be established on Heishan Island. I heard that the person coming is a Khitan named Sun Sancao. Sulla Hague is now openly
He is an official of the Khitan, so he will not stop Sun Sancao."
Lao Sun laughed and said: "The Khitans are learning from our Song Dynasty, and they don't even look to see if there is any comparability. According to our merchants, our Song Dynasty is the distribution center for the world's goods. We are both sellers and buyers.
As long as we are merchants, there is no one who does not want to enter the Song Dynasty to do business, so we will obediently pay taxes in order to go to the mainland to make more money. What does the Liao Kingdom have? Furs, ginseng and seaweed are all in Liaodong.
War horses were now in abundance in the Song Dynasty. The Tubo people wished they could buy all their horses to the Central Plains, not to mention that the newly acquired grasslands in western Yunnan during the Song Dynasty were said to be covered with war horses.
Why establish a shipping department?”
Hai Lianzi smiled and said: "I'm just telling you, you can decide whether you believe it or not. I heard that this Sun Sancao won't even let me go, and he will have a hand in the business without capital. You, my family, are still
It’s really cruel.”
Lao Sun laughed and said: "Just collect our taxes. How do you collect Hai Lianzi's taxes? Do you want to send someone to stay on your ship and record every time you make a business without capital? So?
I think he is looking for death. Maybe Sulla Hague will kill him without our intervention. He finally made Montenegro Island prosperous. If there are no merchants and you, he will go there to gather enough supplies.
go?"
Hai Lianzi smiled and said: "Let's look at the feng shui and then..."
After he finished speaking, his boat turned a beautiful turn and moved towards the pier on the other side.
The big man said to Yun Er with a dark face: "The second young master, Sun Sancao, is impatient. He dares to collect taxes from our family. When the time comes, we will all riot and chop him to death."
Yun Er sat up from the deck, smiled and said to Shopkeeper Sun who had just climbed to the second floor of the deck: "Things are not that simple. This Sun San Cao is not a good person."
Shopkeeper Sun frowned and thought for a while, then looked at the big man, who also shook his head. Shopkeeper Sun said: "You don't have to worry about the second young master. After all, he is a nobody. He is not even a dog in front of you."
There’s no point in thinking about him.”
Yun Er shook his head and said: "Old Sun, there are some things you don't know. To talk about Sun Sancao, we have to start from the Tang Dynasty. This is not a simple thing like you said."
Shopkeeper Su shook his head in embarrassment and said, "I really don't know, please ask the second young master to make it clear."
Yun Er smiled and said: "A long time ago, people of the Khitan tribe had names but no surnames.
The names of the three shrewd and capable kings in the Khitan legend are: Naihe, who speaks loudly, and is completely confused inside. They have no surnames.
The Zuwu Khan, Xianzhi Khan, and Zhaogu Khan recorded in the history of Khitan are also divided by their names. "Khitan National Records" records: "The Khitan people have no surnames, but they are called by the name of the place where they live."
Even during the Northern Wei, Sui and Tang Dynasties, the Khitan tribe had gradually developed and expanded, but there were still no surnames. At that time, people relied on tribal names to distinguish different regions, such as: Xiwandan tribe, Hedahe tribe, Gufufo tribe
, Yu Yuling Tribe, Rilian Tribe, etc. Even the rulers of Khitan did not have their own surnames. For example, Yelu Abaoji’s grandfather Yun Deshi, uncle Shulan, and De Guozhaci all had their first names.
After the Khitans surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty established the Songmo Governor's Mansion there, and named Brother Ku as the governor, giving the Khitans the surnames "Li" and "Sun".
Khitan leaders with the surname Li include Li Jinzhong, Li Huohuo, and Li Guozhe. Khitan leaders with the surname Sun include Sun Zhehu, Sun Wanrong, etc. At this time, although the Khitan tribe had surnames, they only had two surnames: Li and Sun, and
Only a few upper-class nobles have surnames, while ordinary civilians do not have surnames.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China by Yelu Abaoji, Taizu of the Liao Dynasty, the Khitan royal family and descendants all took Yelu and Xiao as their surnames. "Yelü" is "Liu" in the Han people. The reason why "Yelü" and "Xiao" are used as surnames is because the Khitan people, especially the Khitan
The nobles worshiped Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty, and Xiao He, the virtuous prime minister of the Central Plains.
The Khitan people maintained the dual surname system for a long time, until King Yelvbei of Dongdan entered the Later Tang Dynasty and was given the name Li Muhua, and later changed his name to Li Zanhua. His five hundred followers were also given the names Mu, Han, Luo, and Luo.
Yi, Gai and other Chinese surnames.
It was not until this time that the Khitan people had more surnames.
When I was studying in the Imperial College, my husband once said when he was telling the history of the Khitan nation that as long as a pure Khitan surname is Li or Sun, we must not underestimate it, because people with these two surnames are definitely Khitan heritage.
An extremely profound nobleman is still an ancient nobleman."
Shopkeeper Sun was about to speak when the loach beneath him shook slightly. When he looked back, he realized that the boat had already docked.
Yun Er smiled and said: "That Hai Lianzi is right, let's take a look at the feng shui first. We don't want to be the first. There are many people in Liaodong who have bigger businesses than us, so there is no need to charge ahead.
Sun Sancao is concerned about the long-term, and Sula Hague is concerned about the near future. It is better for us to focus on Sula Hague first. Our visit to Montenegro this time is not just for business. We have a whole winter to slowly and slowly
arrange."
Lao Sun nodded and went to the pier first to arrange accommodation for Yun Er.
In a short time, seven or eight guys from the Yun family and about twenty porters in tattered clothes came to Dahaili. Under the arrangements of the big guys, they began to carry the goods off the ship in an orderly manner.
Yun Er glanced at the pirate ship called Hai Lianzi not far away, and found that his ship was also unloading cargo. He heard that Korea's specialties were ginseng, angelica, ginseng cloth, and sesame oil. He didn't know if this guy's ship had any. If so.
It would be good to get some better ginseng and bring it back to Qin to replenish the body.
After watching for a while, he saw groups of little girls in tattered clothes and unkempt hair lining up. Under the scolding of the pirates, they got off the ship in fear.
Seeing that Yun Er was paying attention to the ship, Boss Yan whispered: "If the second young master wants this ship, we will go get it for you right away. It won't waste much time."
Yun Er shook his head and said: "We'll talk about it later. I want to get some better ginseng back, but I'm not interested in other things."
Now that he has arrived at sea, Yun Er will naturally abide by the rules of the sea. When he can do without spending money, he must not spend money, otherwise he will be laughed at by others.
The Yun family is now slowly transforming into pirates, and they must get rid of the bad habit of spending money to buy things in the future.
Seeing that the important cargo had already been loaded onto the pier, the big man came to invite the second young master to go ashore to rest. A carriage had stopped at the pier. Eight Yun family caravan guards were guarding the carriage by the hilts of their knives, and six more were beside them.
A tall war horse.
Yun Er was the first to get off the boat, and the six of them, Boss Yan, followed behind each carrying a huge leather bag. They pushed the caravan guards aside arrogantly, got on their horses and stood guard by the carriage. After looking around, they finally
Order the guards to lead the way.
Yun Er opened the curtain of the carriage and found Hai Lianzi looking at his group in the distance. He smiled at Hai Lianzi, then lowered the curtain again and closed his eyes to meditate.
Heishan Island is not big, and the road surface is not easy to walk on. Riding in this carriage is simply a pain. It only takes a stick of incense to walk from the pier to Heishan Town. I can hear the roar of people outside. Yun Er opens the door again.
The curtain on the carriage window looks out.
I saw that this small town was extremely lively. As far as the eye could see, it was full of densely packed tents, and all kinds of strange people were shouting loudly about their goods.
In the cold weather, the white air coming out of people's mouths was lingering. Seeing these pirates and businessmen doing business as if they were robbing, Yun Er was extremely satisfied. If the Yun family had such an island, it would be a very special thing.
Not a bad thing.
Although the people here are a bit vulgar, they are very popular, so Yun Er looked at everyone here with a smile, like a king looking at his subjects. (To be continued)
