Chapter 3511 Extra Story 44

The emperor didn't know that Zhou Man and the others were visiting flower houses in Silla at this time.

Whether it is people, clothing or architecture, Silla is very different from Dajin, but when they arrived in Jincheng, they saw the shadow of Dajin.

Many people here imitate Jin people's clothes and also speak Chinese, so Bai Shan and the others are not very awkward here.

But as long as they go to the streets, they can still be seen as Jin people.

It is said that the new queen of Silla ordered the people to learn the clothes and language of Jin people after she ascended the throne. She had studied in Dajin and hoped that the relationship between Silla and Dajin could go further.

As the former left chancellor of Dajin, Bai Shan knew more, and said to several people: "In the past, Goguryeo suppressed Baekje and Silla in the north, blocking the communication between the two countries and Dajin. The late emperor was disrespectful and repeatedly sent soldiers and horses to invade the border, so the late emperor established Jian'an Prefecture, Liaocheng Prefecture Dudufu and Andong Duhufu. Unexpectedly, the border has been stable for a few years. Baekje relied on its proximity to the Jin Dynasty and repeatedly lay across the border. Between Silla and Dajin, Silla's pilgrimage was blocked, so the Queen of Silla wrote many times to ask the imperial court to send troops to attack Baekje."

After Bai Shan spoke for such a long time, his voice changed, "But these are all appearances."

Zhou Man and the others: "...What about the truth?"

"The truth is that one mountain cannot accommodate 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, His Majesty told us early on. , this is the internal affairs of the two countries, Da Jin will not interfere."

Silla is a vassal state of Dajin, and so is Baekje. It is equivalent to two godsons fighting on their own. It is not good for a foster father to help anyone, so they just turn a blind eye and close their eyes as if they don't see it. The fight is fierce For the sake of the people of the two countries, they should be a peacemaker to persuade them. Whether they can persuade them depends entirely on themselves.

"However, Baekje has been rampant these years, which made His Majesty displeased," Bai Shandao said, "Dajin's sea trade was developed. When the sea trade first opened, Baekje and Wa Kingdom snatched our merchant ships from Dajin. The Eastern Capital Protectorate cleared them up, they have been stable for a few years, but they became dishonest a few years ago, so His Majesty is very unhappy."

When two godsons fight, it’s hard to tell who is wrong and who is right. The emperor doesn’t care, but the godson turns around and grabs his own son’s things, cutting off the other godson’s way to pay tribute to the old father. That’s very annoying. .

"Your Majesty's temper has improved a lot in the past few years, but I think Baekje's temper will not be able to be suppressed in the long run."

The implication 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 shall we still go to Baekje?"

"Go, go for a walk 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 Ji laughed and said, "Since you want to go to the flower houses in the Wa Kingdom, you might as well visit all the flower houses in the Three Kingdoms, and see the differences."

Zhou Man and the others went there excitedly, and finally came back disappointed. There was not much difference, they were all dancing and singing. The difference was that storytelling was added to the flower building in the Three Kingdoms, but they talked the most. It was about Da Jin, and I used the book written by Bai Erlang as a reference, which didn't feel fresh at all.

How many times did they listen to Bai Erlang's book in restaurants and teahouses 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 that."

Ming Da urged Bai Erlang, "Will you write more?"

Bai Erlang rolled his eyes, "Why don't I write down the places we have traveled?"

Bai Shan and the others had no objection, "You can write as much as you want, just a little, and don't slander us."

Bai Erlang muttered, "When did I slander you?"

Zhou Man was dissatisfied first, "Is that too little? Why did you specifically write that she was a dwarf when you were ordered to write about Taibai Jinxing?"

Bai Erlang glanced at Zhou Man up and down, his meaning was self-evident.

Zhou Man's feet were a little itchy, she tried hard to control herself in her heart, now that she has grown up, she is a well-mannered old man, she can't move her feet, she can't move her feet...

Taking advantage of the convenience of Zhou Man traveling around the vassal states, Ke Ke gained a lot. Although it was difficult to visit all of Silla and Baekje, they passed through all the main places.

If it weren't for the inconvenience caused by revealing his identity, Zhou Man wanted to spend money to ask the locals to dig some rare flowers and plants and send them over. It would definitely be more convenient to work together.

But she finally decided to do so, especially when she found out that Bai Shan was painting the hills and towns they passed by.

It is not easy to make a map, especially this kind of detailed map. Among them, only Bai Shan and Yin may be able to draw it, and Zhou Man and the others will help from the side and give some references to their data.

By the time they went to Japan for a stroll, and returned to Dajin, it was already the summer of the second year.

Zhou Zhoulang was eager to see through, and when he saw them, he couldn't help but rushed forward and held Zhou Man's hand and cried, "You can really go shopping, do you know that I dare not go home this year, because I am afraid that I will be punished when I go home?" Brother and sister-in-law beat me up, why don't you know how to think about my poor fourth brother..."

Zhou Liwei stood aside with a smile, and said to Zhou Man: "Sister-in-law, uncle and auntie call elder brother to write to scold fourth uncle every now and then, saying that we shouldn't find a boat for you to go out to sea, it's so dangerous outside."

Zhou Man turned around in front of them and said, "Do you think I'm in danger?"

Bai Erlang said: "We've had a good year outside, brother Zhou, don't worry."

"You guys are doing well, but we are not doing so well," Zhou Zhoulang looked at Bai Erlang after crying, "My son-in-law, the person His Majesty sent to pick up the princess has been waiting at the Longchi Wharf."

The five looked at each other and went to meet people together.

It has been more than three years since they left Beijing, and they are finally preparing to return to Beijing under the expectation of the emperor.

Zhou Zhoulang 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 born in the imperial examination, his official rank is limited, and he has been limited to the sixth rank. Qingzhou is the best development. After all, the largest salt farm in Dajin is now in Qingzhou.

Over the years, he occasionally went back to Beijing to visit relatives, and occasionally brought his parents over to take care of him.

It's a pity that Zhou Zhoulang prefers Qili Village compared to Qingzhou and Beijing, so he came here to see his son, and after living there for a year or so, he will go home, and he is not happy to live abroad for a long time.

Old Zhou was able to think about it, so he simply let Zhou Liwei stand alone here. Anyway, the old Zhou's family had already separated, and no matter where it was, this was also his grandson, wasn't it his blood?

He's quite proud to say it, he just needs to think about it, hundreds of years later, relatives from Qingzhou will find them, and in terms of relatives, they all come from his old ancestor, how proud they are.

Of course, he only talked about this kind of small thought in front of his old wife and young daughter, and he would never tell others.

So Zhou Man, who knew what the old Zhou was thinking, patted Zhou Liwei 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, sister, I will teach them well. Don't think they are not good at reading, but their character is fine, and it will never be bad." The reputation of our old Zhou family."

Although I didn't get it right, Zhou Man was also very satisfied with this answer.
