Farmer’s Little Girl - Chapter 3511
Chapter 3511 Fanwai 44
The emperor did not know that at this time Zhou Man and the others were visiting the flower building in Xinluoli.
Silla here is very different from Dajin in terms of people, clothing and architecture, but when they arrived at Jincheng, they saw the shadow of Dajin.
Many people here are dressed like Jin people, and they also speak Chinese, so Bai Shan and the others are not very awkward here.
But as long as they take to the streets, they can still be seen as Jin people.
I heard that after the new Silla Queen ascended the throne, she ordered the common people to learn the clothing and language of Jin people. She once studied in Dajin and hoped that the relationship between Silla and Dajin could be further improved.
As the former left minister of Dajin, Baishan knew more and said to several people: “In the past, Goguryeo pressed Baekje and Silla to the north, blocking the exchanges between the two countries and Dajin, and Goguryeo has repeatedly confronted me. The former emperor was disrespectful and repeatedly sent troops and horses to invade the border, so the former emperor set up Jian’an Prefecture, Liaocheng Prefecture Governor’s Mansion, and Andong Duhu Mansion. Who would have thought that the border had been stable for a few years, and Baekje relied on the proximity of the Great Jin Dynasty. Between Silla and Dajin, Silla’s pilgrimage was blocked, so the Queen of Silla wrote many times to ask the court to send troops to attack Baekje.”
Bai Shan said for such a long time, but his voice changed, “But this is all appearance…”
Zhou Man: “…What about the truth?”
“The truth is that one mountain does not allow two tigers. Silla has always wanted to swallow Baekje, and Baekje has always wanted to swallow Silla. You hit me this year, and I will hit you next year.” Bai Shan said, “It’s nothing, Your Majesty told us in the early years. , this is the internal affairs of the two countries, and Dajin will not interfere.”
Silla is a vassal state of Dajin, and so is Baekje. It is equivalent to two godsons fighting by themselves. It is not good for the adoptive father to help anyone. , for the sake of the people of the two countries, they should be a peacemaker and persuade them. Whether they can persuade them is up to them.
“However, Baekje has been rampant these years, which has made Your Majesty unhappy,” Bai Shan said, “Dajin’s sea trade was developed. When the sea trade first started, Baekje and the Japanese robbed me of Dajin’s merchant ships. The East Protectorate has cleared them, they have been stable for a few years, and they were dishonest in the past few years, so His Majesty is very unhappy.”
Two godsons fight, it’s not clear who is right and who is right, the emperor doesn’t care, but the godson turns his head and grabs his own son’s things, breaking the way for the other godson to pay tribute like an old father, that’s very annoying .
“Your Majesty’s temper has improved a lot in recent years, but I think Baekje’s temper won’t be able to hold back if things go on like this.”
The implication of is that the emperor is likely to agree to the proposal of the Queen of Silla and send troops to pacify Baekje together.
Zhou Man: “Then do we still go to Baekje?”
“Go, go and walk around on the way back,” Bai Shan said with a smile, “They haven’t fought yet, and there are quite a few merchant ships between Dajin and Baekje, so we’ll be fine when we go.”
Yin Or smiled and said: “Since you want to go to the flower buildings in the Japanese country, you can simply visit the flower buildings in the Three Kingdoms, and you can see the difference.”
Zhou Man and the others went there excitedly, and finally came back disappointed. There was not much difference. They were both dancing and singing. It’s about Dajin, and it’s also based on the book written by Bai Erlang as a reference, and it’s not fresh at all.
Bai Erlang’s book, how many times they have listened to the restaurant and teahouse along the way.
Bai Erlang was very happy, and said excitedly along the way: “I didn’t expect that I have so many book fans overseas.”
Bai Shan and Zhou Manyin nodded, “I didn’t expect it.”
Mingda slammed Bai Erlang, “Will you write more?”
Bai Erlang rolled his eyes, “How about I write down the places we’ve traveled?”
Bai Shan and the others did not have any objections, “You can write as much as you want, just a little bit, don’t slander us.”
Bai Erlang muttered, “When have I ever slandered you?”
Zhou Man refused to accept it first, “Is that still less? Why did you specifically write that she was a dwarf when you were instructed to write about Taibaijinxing?”
Bai Erlang glanced up and down at Zhou Man, and the meaning was self-evident.
Zhou Man’s feet were a little itchy, she tried to control herself in her heart, now she has grown up, she is a well-mannered old man, she can’t move her feet, she can’t move her feet…
With the convenience of Zhou Man’s travels around the vassal states, Keke gained a lot. Although it is difficult to visit all of Silla and Baekje, they have passed through all the main places.
If it wasn’t for the inconvenience caused by revealing his identity, Zhou Mandu wanted to pay local people to dig some rare flowers and plants to send them, so it would be more convenient to work together.
But she pressed this thought, especially when Bai Shan was painting the hilly towns they passed by.
It is not easy to make maps, especially for such delicate maps, only Bai Shan and Yin may be able to draw them in their group.
After they went to Japan for a walk, when they returned to Dajin, it was already the summer of the second year.
Zhou Man was eager to see through his eyes, and when he saw them, he couldn’t help rushing forward to hold Zhou Man’s hand and cry, “You guys can really go shopping, do you know that I haven’t dared to go home this year, for fear of being caught when I go home. Big brother and sister-in-law, why don’t you think about my poor fourth brother…”
Zhou Liwei stood aside with a smile, and said to Zhou Man: “Little aunt, uncle and aunt are calling eldest brother to scold fourth uncle every few minutes, saying that we shouldn’t find a boat for you to go out to sea, how dangerous it is outside.”
Zhou Man turned around in front of them and said, “Do you think I look like I’m in danger?”
Bai Erlang said: “We have had a good time outside this year, you can rest assured on Thursday, brother.”
“You guys are doing well, but we’re not doing well,” Thursullang looked at Bai Erlang after crying, “Master Consort, the person sent by Your Majesty to pick up the princess has been waiting at Longchi Pier.”
The five looked at each other and went to see people together.
They have been away from Beijing for more than three years, and they are finally ready to return to Beijing under the expectation of the emperor.
Thursday Lang stayed in Qingzhou this year, and now he received the right master, so he went back with them.
Zhou Liwei’s career has always been in Qingzhou, because he was not from the imperial examination, so his official rank is limited, and he has always stopped at the sixth grade. It is the best development in Qingzhou. After all, the largest salt field in Dajin is now in Qingzhou.
Over the years, he occasionally returned to Beijing to visit relatives, and occasionally picked up his parents to support him.
Unfortunately, compared to Qingzhou and the capital, Zhou Lang prefers Qili Village, so he came here to see his son, and he would go home after living there for a year and a half, and he was not happy to live as a foreign minister.
Old Zhoutou thought about it, so he simply let Zhou Liwei stand alone here. Anyway, the old Zhou family split up long ago, and no matter where he is, this is his grandson, isn’t his bloodline?
Speaking of which, he was quite proud. He only had to think about it. Hundreds of years later, there were relatives in Qingzhou who came over. As far as relatives were concerned, they all came from his ancestor, how proud they were.
Of course, he would say this kind of careful thinking in front of his old wife and young daughter, and he would never say it to others.
So Zhou Man, who knew the old Zhoutou’s thoughts, patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction after seeing Zhou Liwei’s children and grandchildren, “Well done, teach the children well, 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, little aunt, I will definitely teach them well, don’t think that they are not good at reading, but their character is fine, it will never be bad. The reputation of our old Zhou family.”
Although I didn’t realize it was right, Zhou Man was also very satisfied with this answer.
