Chapter 404 Tang Dynasty should be the gathering place of all good things

The concept of honor and disgrace comes from education and inheritance.

Just like a calf who doesn't know how to plow the land originally, he will be able to plow the land after a long time with the old cow.

The Goguryeo people obviously did not educate the people on such a concept of honor and disgrace since the founding of the country.

Therefore, they focus on life.

Before Yunchu took control of the city, he had already transferred those well-educated people with a clear sense of honor and disgrace to the Wang family brothers through Gao Wen. , Luoyang is very popular in these big cities.

Even if you become a domestic servant of someone else's family, you are also a high-level book boy, high-level servant, high-level maid, high-level nurse, etc...

In the two months since Yunchu took over Dahang City, it's not that he hasn't killed people. If someone who has studied statistics counts the classes of these people who were punished by Ming Zheng, he will find that the more A person who understands will die sooner.

On the surface, Dahang City can be said to be the most peaceful, kind, and prosperous city on the land of Liaodong. If you remove the hypocritical cover from the outside, you will find that this is the real No. 18 hell.

Of course, ordinary people don't feel this advanced feeling at all, and they even feel that there is nothing wrong with being ruled by the Tang people.

Because, Yunchu ensured that the people here, as long as they work, they will definitely get wages or food.

Yunchu made sure that as long as the people here were open for business, the tax they had to pay would be reduced by half compared to before, and he also ensured that those bad people who roamed the market would not intentionally blackmail them.

Yunchu also ensured that the rights and interests of those who worked honestly and contributed were guaranteed—at least, when they went to court with the only remaining rich people, they would not be at a disadvantage because they had no money.

The arrival of Yunchu also guaranteed many things, which made ordinary Goguryeo people who had been oppressed by the government suddenly find that their lives had become better under the rule of the Tang people.

Therefore, they were very happy when they took over the work settled down by the government, and they were even a little grateful when they received the last salary settled by the government.

Therefore, when Li Jitong led the army to trek through the mountains and hills of Goguryeo, Yunchu had already started a new day of office work after taking a bath.

Therefore, when all the cruel facts were hidden by the dense fog, Yunchu, who was riding a horse on the Goguryeo Street, would be courted by the Goguryeo people...

And Yunchu, still behaved so noble, gentle, and humble, he clasped his fists to everyone who saluted him in return, he clasped his fists to thank everyone who gave way to him, even if he met a fool, abaaaba If he protests against him, he will also control the bay red horse that is ready to trample this fool to death, and walk around with a wry smile on his face that everyone can understand.

It's like... just like... just like the humble gentlemen who have just cleaned the flesh and blood between their teeth, cleaned their bodies and hands, and have blood on their heads and faces.

"The hut is in a human environment, and there are no cars and horses to make noise. I ask you how can you be so far away from yourself..."

Rourou's complexion immediately changed after seeing another poem written by Yunchu. She looked very happy just now, but after reading the poem "Human Realm", she began to lose her temper and put the things on the table Pick it up and drop it, and it doesn't stop for a moment.

After Gao Wen praised Yunchu's poem, he asked Yunchu in a low voice why Changshi was angry.

"Don't worry about him, he's angry with himself. If I'm not wrong, he must think that such an indifferent poem should be written by him, not by me, a martial artist."

Gao Wen empathized with Wen Rou and cupped his hands, expressing that he understood his state of mind at the moment.

Ruan also wrote a lot of poems, but until now, she has not come up with a poem to show off to Yun Chu.

It seems that the quality of his poems is not very good.

"Why would the Japanese fleet request to stop at Dahang City for supplies?"

When Yunchu was looking at today's documents, he found Japanese ships strangely. Under normal circumstances, Japanese ships would not come to Dahang City. They usually came to Dahang City via Baekje and directly to Datang Laizhou. Obviously a long way to go.

Gao Wen said with a smile: "The Japanese fishermen in the North Sea are best at long-distance sailing. Every spring when the sea opens, they go to the North Sea to hunt for whales. They will return with a full load before the ice starts to appear in the sea. Calculating the time, it should be this time.

General, at this moment, their ship must have a large amount of spermaceti, as well as whalebone, and if they are lucky, they can also get ambergris. "

As an official of the Tang Dynasty, Yunchu was somewhat knowledgeable. He naturally knew that candles made of spermaceti oil were the best among candles. When burning, the flame was stable and resistant to burning, and there was no miscellaneous smell or smoke.

The whalebone is actually a derivative of the whale's teeth. In Datang, having a pair of whalebone hair braces and combs is a gift that every beauty dreams of.

As for ambergris, as a spice, it is second to none. After the old god used it as medicine, it believed that it had the effect of reducing phlegm, relieving cough, and relieving pain.

Lao He also told Yunchu that this thing also has the effect of aphrodisiac and aphrodisiac, the old god knows it, but he just doesn't say it.

Hearing this, Yunchu asked: "How big is the Japanese whaling fleet?"

Gao Wen said: "Generally there are three ships. However, due to the war in the past two years, there have also been five ships. The scale of ten ships has not exceeded ten sailors on each ship."

Yun Chu said: "Then allow them to enter the port for supplies and rest."

Gao Wen hesitated for a moment and said, "Do you want it?"

Yun Chu shook his head and said, "There's no need to ruin your reputation, what we want is a prosperous seaport, and we won't do such short-sighted things.

Believe me, Datang is the best place for these goods. In the future, this place will definitely become the origin of spermaceti and ambergris.

Tell them to let them enter the seaports, and let them pay taxes after trade. "

Gao Wen praised: "The general is really open and selfless for the sake of Dahang City."

Yun Chu smiled and said: "It is inevitable. In the future, I very much hope that this place can become a prosperous and wealthy place, and because of this seaport, it can bring eternal prosperity to the people here."

If you don't see it with your own eyes, ordinary people can't imagine how much supplies a 40 army needs.

After Yunchu came to the harbor, he immediately found that there were countless Datang ships moored in the harbor, and their masts stood erect on the sea like a dense forest.

On the original two piers, there are thousands of porters who are wearing single clothes and stepping on the diving board with bare feet in this cold weather, delivering goods to the shore.

At the end of the field of vision, there are still a few Datang warships floating on the sea, and they are monitoring the sea surface, guarding against a sneak attack by Goguryeo warships.

There are as many goods piled up on the coast as there are mountains, and under these mountains, thousands of ant-like porters are responsible for transporting the goods to the warehouse.

Compared with those warships, the Japanese whaling ship is as small as a grasshopper. Now, it is docked on the newly built small pier. A group of strangely dressed and thin Japanese people are talking with the interpreter in Dahang City. Judging from the status, it should be very familiar.

After a while, the unscrupulous person brought the Goguryeo translator who was arguing with the Japanese.

Yun Chu asked, "What did they say?"

The interpreter quickly said: "They want to continue doing business with Wen's firm. I told them that Wen's firm has closed down and they can trade with us. As a result, these Japanese people said that they still want to do business with Wen's."

Yun Chu laughed and said, "Why do they have to deal with the Wen family?"

The interpreter said: "Only the Wen family is willing to exchange rice for their goods."

Yunchu asked, "Does Koguryo also produce rice?"

Gao Wen shook his head and said: "The summers in Goguryeo are short and the winters are long, so we can't grow rice. We mainly produce millet, millet, wheat, bean, and sorghum. The rice in my hand should come from Datang."

Yunchu asked again: "Is rice very valuable in the Japanese country?"

Gao Wen said: "That's not the case. The Wa country itself is rich in rice, so the lower officials don't know why these Wa people must have rice."

Yun Chu saw that the interpreter's face was flushed, and he seemed to have something to say, so he asked, "Tell me."

The interpreter pointed to the whaling Wa people and said: "Although they also live on the islands of Wa, they are not Wa people. They call themselves Ainu people. They cannot grow rice or eat rice on their islands. Mainly eat fish.

The Japanese cut off the Ainu's access to rice, so rice is very important to them, mainly used to sacrifice to the gods.

General, these people are very stubborn. If they can't exchange for rice, they will leave and plan to go to Baekje to have a look. "

Yun Chu smiled and asked the interpreter: "Go and tell them that we not only have rice here, but also linen and iron pots, as long as their goods are good, they can exchange for anything.

By the way, how to replace it? "

The interpreter gestured with his hand and said, "Such a large barrel of whale oil is exchanged for the same large barrel of rice."

Yun Chu swallowed a mouthful of water and said, "Tell them, you can still change the wine."

The interpreter happily agreed and went to find those Japanese people.

Gao Wen was puzzled and said, "Why is the general so happy?"

Yun Chu said: "What makes me happy is that the prices of candles made from whale oil in Chang'an and Luoyang can be brought down."

Gao Wen said: "Is this thing very valuable in the Central Plains?"

Yun Chu said: "There is a saying that an inch of candle is an inch of gold."

Gao Wen's eyes were wide open, he never thought that what he thought was worthless would be worth more than gold in Datang.

Yun Chu looked at Gao Wen with a smile and said, "Don't underestimate anyone who comes to do business, you will never know what kind of goods they will bring out from under the tattered leather jacket.

If you want to make Dahang City prosperous, you can't let go of any opportunity. "
