Great Tang Southern Emperor

"Impossible." The Great Prophet said with disbelief on his face: "When the old man left Tai Sui, His Majesty had just ascended the throne, and the great Sui Dynasty had just revealed its first glory. How could it be possible to perish in less than ten years? You don't want to Deceive old people."

Pei Xingjian asked: "After talking for so long, we still don't know your identity. Isn't this the way of hospitality? Also, when did you come here and how did you come here?"

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm so excited to see people from my hometown." The Great Prophet wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and quickly introduced: "The old man was originally named Yuwenhualong, and he was added as..."

"What?" Hearing this name, even Li Zhen was not calm this time, because the name was so familiar. It wasn't that he had heard this name before, but that he had heard a similar name——Yu Wenhua and .

"What's your relationship with Yu Wenhuaji?" Not only Li Zhen thought of it, but everyone else also thought of it. Pei Xingjian raised his weapon and put it on Yu Wenhualong's neck, and asked coldly.

No wonder they were so nervous, it can be said that everyone present had a lot of hatred with Yu Wenhua, especially his murder of the master, which made everyone despise.How much Emperor Sui Yang trusted him back then, but in the end he was killed by a mutiny, and even his wife, Empress Xiao, was taken over by him—although everyone is a rebel, but killing the monarch and taking over the mistress...you Yu Wenhuaji's eating was too ugly.

Now hearing a person whose name is so similar to Yu Wenhuaji, it is no wonder that everyone is nervous. After all, there is no one in the Yuwen family who is easy to get along with. Whether it is Yu Wenhuaji, Yuwen Zhiji or Yuwen Shiji, they are not ordinary people.

"Yu Wenhuaji is the old distant cousin." Seeing this, Yu Wenhualong didn't understand that the group of people in front of him had a deep hatred for his cousin?However, he is over 70 this year, and he only wants to return to his hometown, and he is not willing to deceive this group of people.

But he still explained: "But please don't misunderstand, the relationship between the old man and Yu Wenhuaji has already been out of the fifth service, otherwise he would not be in his 30s, and he would only be in the position of Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, let alone Fall into today's field."

"So that's how it is." Everyone was relieved. The Yuwen family was very prosperous in the Sui Dynasty. If they were really descendants of the direct line, no matter what, they could get a good position, at least a position of real power.

Although the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple is also an official position of the fourth rank, in fact, he does not have much power. Whether it is the Sui Dynasty or other dynasties, Honglu Temple belongs to that kind of unpopular yamen, except that the Qing of Honglu Temple has some rights. In addition, although Shaoqing is Zhengqing's deputy, it is actually a position similar to that of a secretary. If you make meritorious service, the credit goes to Zhengqing. If you make a mistake, Shaoqing will take the blame.

"Then how did you get here?" Cheng Chuliang asked the question just now.

"Hey, it's a long story."

"Then make a long story short."

"Okay." Yu Wenhualong sighed: "Three years after the great cause, the lion kingdom of Tianzhu came to worship, and the gifts they brought were quite rich. To show solemnity, His Majesty sent an old man to the lion kingdom, because the lion kingdom is far away from overseas. , our group planned to go out to sea by boat... At first it was smooth sailing, but just as we arrived off the coast of Quanzhou, we encountered a big storm and the whole army was wiped out... When the old man woke up, It has already appeared on the beach of this island, thanks to the rescue of their old chief, otherwise the old man would have died a long time ago..."

"So that's the case, no wonder..." Everyone finally understood everything. The person in front of them is not only a survivor of Huaxia, but also once achieved the position of Shaoqing of Honglu Temple. He is also considered a high-ranking official in the court—although this High-ranking officials have no rights, their status in officialdom is very low, and they have no sense of presence.

But all of this is only relative to the prime minister and the three lords. In fact, the young minister of Honglu Temple is also qualified to meet the emperor, and as long as he is an official who is qualified to see the emperor, he can basically be regarded as a high-ranking official. After all, there are tens of millions of people in this world, how many are really qualified to meet the emperor?

"Since you are the prince of the Tang Dynasty, can you tell me what happened after I left? What happened in the Sui Dynasty, and why did you fall into such a situation in just 30 years?" Yu Wenhualong After asking, he still has a lot of affection for the Sui Dynasty, and now he is eager to know about the Sui Dynasty.

"You won't just let us stand here and talk?" Li Zhen smiled and said: "We are here as guests, Yuwen Shaoqing, don't you plan to invite us in?"

"That's right, it's an old man's mistake, please, Your Highness." Yuwen Wenlong suddenly realized, and hurriedly invited Li Zhen in.

"Yuwen Shaoqing please first."

Chapter 839 The Legend of the Cannibals

Chapter 2 and One: The Legend of the Cannibals

The group of people just took a step, and the guards behind Li Zhen also followed closely. Seeing this, Yu Wenhualong said hastily: "Please forgive me, Your Highness, there are too many of you, our valley is only so big, I am afraid... "

Of course, he wasn't worried that the valley couldn't hold so many people. What he was really worried about was luring wolves into the house. If Li Zhen suddenly attacked after entering the valley, how could these young women and children with less than 2000 people in their tribe be so armed? An elite opponent of the tooth?

"It's okay, I just take them in, and the soldiers just stay outside." Li Zhen smiled, and wanted to laugh even more in her heart: If we really want to attack you, do you think we can rely on the stone age weapons in your hands? Even if we stay outside, do you still want to block our armor?

Walking into the valley, Li Zhen discovered that although the valley is not big, it actually has a hidden cave. Along the edge of the valley, houses are neatly built one after another, and all of them are in Chinese style. If it is not known that this is overseas, Li Zhen and his party I really thought that I entered a small town in Datang.

"This is what the old man taught them. Before the old man came, they lived in caves." Seeing the eyes of everyone, Yuwen Wenlong quickly explained: "After the old man came, he taught them to build wooden planks. Room, it has been more than 30 years in a flash..."

"Is this what you have achieved over the years?" Looking at these houses, Li Zhen shook her head in disappointment. These houses only look good on the surface, but in fact they are all made of wood, which are not durable and In a warm and humid environment like Lilac Island, such a house would be eaten away by moths in at most 20 years and become dilapidated houses, which are not practical at all.

"Why don't you teach them how to make bricks? Stone houses are fine too. Don't you know that wooden houses are not durable in such an environment?" Li Zhen was very curious. Since Yu Wenlong taught them how to build houses, how could they Why not build a brick house?If it doesn't work, you can use stones. Stones are stronger than bricks, but why did Yuwenhualong only teach them to build wooden houses?

"I'm ashamed to say..." Yu Wenhualong's old face blushed immediately when asked by Li Zhen, and he said with shame, "It's not that I don't want to teach them how to make bricks, but I also know that brick houses are more durable than wooden houses... ...However, the old man read the teachings of Confucius and Mencius, studied the books of sages and sages, and did not know how to burn bricks and smelt iron at all... As for the stone house, His Highness thinks how many years it will take to mine enough stone to build a house with their current tools and equipment ?”

"Iron can be smelted." Yuchi Baoqing interjected, "Iron tools can mine stone very quickly."

"This..." Yu Wenhualong was even more ashamed and speechless.

Cheng Chuliang gave him a sideways look, and said, "Don't talk about it, he can't even make bricks, let alone smelt iron."

"That's right." Yuchi Baoqing scratched his head and stopped talking.

Li Zhen was about to laugh like crazy in her heart, but she pretended to be sincere and said on the face: "But Yuwen Shaoqing, you are already very good. You can use 30 years to teach a part of our ethnic group the civilization of the Han Dynasty. This is already a great achievement. If you put it in the Tang Dynasty, Yuwen Shaoqing, you can be conferred a title for this merit."

"Your Highness is joking, I am ashamed... I thought that I would learn the principles of a sage and not be afraid to travel all over the world, but when I got here, I realized that the words of a sage can't give me anything. Even this house is because I have seen it with my own eyes. Only then do you understand the principle of architecture, otherwise you would not even think about building such a house." Yu Wenhualong quickly adapted to the status of Prince Li Zhen, and when he heard Li Zhen's approval, he said with a little disappointment: "Poor old man!" After reading the books of sages all my life, I finally realized that the so-called words of sages and the list of sages are all nonsense. They can neither make people full, nor live in a warm house, nor teach me how to strengthen myself , It’s purely the words of a saint in his dreams, thanks to which we still regard him as a saint, it’s all bullshit, since he went to the island, the old man has abandoned this bullshit.”

Li Zhen felt that his words were too extreme, and quickly argued: "You can't say that, at least a saint can teach us the principles of life."

"Bullshit, don't there be saints? Are we unable to learn the principles of being human? On the contrary, it is the quotations of these saints that restrict us, and lose our freedom of thought. It is really hateful." Yu Wenhualong is obviously concerned about this. He has suffered a lot, so he hates his previous beliefs very much: "To be honest, if it weren't for the rescue of the old chief of the Lilac tribe, the old man would have fallen into the mouth of the cannibals, and now I am afraid that even the feces he turned into will disappear... Since then, the old man has never believed in any saints, and now the old man only believes in himself, is self-reliant, and has enough food and clothing."

"Cannibals?" Li Zhen was taken aback, and exclaimed, "There are cannibals on this island?"

"Of course there is. On the opposite island (Morotai Island), the old man saw it with his own eyes. They cooked and ate the defeated captives. It was extremely cruel. After seeing it once, the old man didn't see it for three years. Eat a bite of meat."

Seeing Li Zhen's horrified face, Yu Wenhualong thought he was frightened, so he explained with a smile: "Your Highness, don't panic. Although there are cannibals on this island, most of them are ordinary natives. It's barbaric, but the equipment is worse than ours, it's impossible for your highness to be your opponent with a thousand troops."

"I'm not worried about this. I'm surprised that there are really cannibals in this world." Li Zhen sighed. Legends of cannibals are common in later generations, but few people have really seen cannibals. However, it is generally believed that there are cannibals, but most of them are hidden in the depths of the primitive forest and are not known to outsiders.

Li Zhen knew that there might indeed be cannibals on this small island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, but what he didn't expect was that the first time he went to sea, he heard the legend of cannibals. Should this be considered lucky or unlucky?

"Actually, there is no difference between cannibals and ordinary aborigines. As long as you don't see them with your own eyes, no one will believe that they are cannibals." Yuwen Wenlong smiled and said: "I have only seen them once in my life. In addition, your highness If you want to develop this island, you'd better pay attention to your people not being alone—because even if there are no cannibals, those indigenous tribes will not be too friendly to you, and they are likely to attack you."

Li Zhen paused and looked at Yu Wenhua Long coldly: "How do you know that this palace is going to develop this island?"

Pei Xingjian and the others didn't look good, and some of them even put their hands on the weapons. If Yuwen Wenlong didn't give a suitable answer, they might strike at any time.

Chapter 840 Yuhualong's Achievements

Chapter 2 The Achievements of Yuhualong

"Isn't this obvious?" Facing Li Zhen's murderous intent, Yu Wenhualong smiled and didn't care at all.

It wasn't until Li Zhen became impatient that she pointed at the surrounding plants: "There are so many spices on this island, it is a natural spice island, and I also know the price of spices in the Central Plains. It can be said that one or two spices are one or two gold ... If you occupy this place, your highness will be equivalent to having an inexhaustible golden mountain, if I were your highness, I would not give up here."

What Yuwen Wenlong said made sense, but it was obvious that Li Zhen was not very satisfied with this answer: "How can you be sure that we didn't arrive on this island just like you, in a disaster?"

"Of course it didn't come from a disaster." Yu Wenhualong was even more confident: "First of all, you have more than 1000 people. If you were really killed, it is impossible for so many people to come to the island alive. Second, All of you are well-equipped and energetic, and you don’t look like you after a big storm. Third, the old man has been here for decades, and he knows that there is no possibility of storms in this season in the nearby sea Fourthly, most of the people who died after going ashore are trembling, and they will be ecstatic after encountering the spices, but you turn a blind eye to the spices, and instead search the island with the eyes of exploration. Fifth, just now Tell me, each of your ships is bigger than the other, and they are intact... Do you still use old people to say the rest?"

"Clap clap clap!"

After listening to Yu Wenhualong's analysis, Li Zhen applauded involuntarily: "It's reasonable, and the analysis is perfect. As expected of someone from Yu Wen Clan, it really isn't easy."

Yuwen Wenlong waved his hands again and again and said: "Your Highness has praised you, I am ashamed to be an old man."

A group of people continued to walk forward and passed a corner, and the sound of Lang Lang's reading came to everyone's ears.

"The Master said: Learning and practicing it from time to time, isn't it easy to talk about it? Isn't it a pleasure to have friends come from afar? People don't know but are not stunned. Isn't it a gentleman?"

"Zengzi said: I examine myself three times a day: Are you not loyal to others? Are you not trusting your friends? Are you not accustomed to passing on?"
