Sui and Tang Dynasties: My Wife is the Eldest Grandson Wugou

Page 858

There are quite a lot of places that are divided into counties, such as Yilun, Thanksgiving, Yanlu, Bishan, Ji'an and other counties.

But many of these counties are at the township level.

There is no way, this island was originally ruled by the imperial court, plus it is an island city, it is very inconvenient to build, so in the past dynasties, few people have been overly concerned about this place.

The inconvenience of construction is one aspect, and the distance is too far away. The most important point is that there is no strategic significance here.

If it is changed to modern times, then the strategic significance here is still very important, after all, it involves sea control in the South China Sea.

But what about now?

To the east is the Siam area. Siam area does not even have written words yet. It is like a barbarian. Many people live a life of ruthlessness and blood. Only a very small number of people have been influenced by the unified culture of Southeast Asia and have independent thinking. With the system, a tribe is formed.

Of course, further to the east of the Siam region is the Piao country, which has a developed culture and has deep contacts with the old Sui Dynasty and the current Jin Empire. There are many connections in terms of trade and culture.

Adjacent to the east of the country is the country of Lu Chenla, which is the generation of Siam, but it is not called Siam yet.

To the north of the Piao country is the Nanzhao country. Although the culture of this generation is developed, and the national power of many countries is relatively strong, but that is only in relative terms.

Compared with this era, they are indeed relatively powerful, but if they are pushed back, they are not even considered scum.

The combined population of China, including its 800 affiliated countries, is only 1000 million, and the combined population of the entire Southeast Asian region may not even be [-] million.

The specific number cannot be counted, but according to Ye Fan's speculation, the current population here cannot exceed [-] million.

Therefore, with such a population size, it is impossible to have a relatively strong command of the sea.

Large-scale naval battles are at most nothing more than paddling broken wooden rafts and throwing stones at each other on the sea.

Therefore, there is no need to set up a city wall in Zhuya County. There will not be any large-scale wars here for hundreds of years or thousands of years, so the people here are not panic at all.

They rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, rely on the sea to eat the sea, eat, drink and sing, that's enough.

The moment he boarded Zhuya County, Ye Fan felt that this place was completely different from what he expected.

He thought that the people here would be relatively poor, because there is no good development, and their quality of life is relatively low, and Ye Fan is also very clear that since the establishment of the Jin Empire, the imperial court has supported Zhuya County , almost nonexistent.

Because I really can't take care of it, I can't give them anything other than some food.

give money?

They don’t need money either. Some people have never even been out of the island from birth to death. In many places on the island, the original trading method of bartering is still maintained, and a slightly advanced economic model has not yet been formed.

But when he got to the island, Ye Fan realized that the prosperity here was far beyond his imagination.

It was already dark when they landed on the island. Zhuya County is the only city with a city wall. The scale here is not large. From a rough look, the length of the city is about [-] kilometers, and the width is about [-] kilometers.

Such a city, which was regarded as a small city in the Great Jin Empire, was the only metropolis on the island.

When he landed, Ye Fan could see that the city was decorated with lights and festoons, brightly lit and very lively.

Ye Fan couldn't help but grabbed the boatman and asked, "Old man, please ask, what is the festival today? Why is this island so lively?"

"No!"

The boatman laughed and said happily: "I am a local, there are not many festivals here, and it is so lively every day, every foreigner who comes here is as surprised as you, haha, have fun, young people !"

After speaking, the boatman went straight back to the boat, and then rowed away.

"Is it so lively every day?"

Ye Fan was a little puzzled, and then strode directly into the city.

Ye Fu and others followed closely behind.

Entering the city, Ye Fan found that the prosperity here is almost half as high as that of Chengdu. It is really spectacular to have such a prosperous scene in such a remote island city!

On both sides of the main road, there are food and department stores everywhere. Almost every stall has two payment methods, one is money, and the other is equivalent items.

It can be jewelry, or grain, cattle and sheep.

Although many aborigines here don't need money, these businessmen do!

After receiving the money, they can go to the mainland to spend it, then buy goods, and then come here to sell them.

Ye Fan walked and ate all the way, his face was full of joy.

When he walked to the end of the main road, he found a huge stage here.

On the stage, some people are performing local programs.

Although there was no seat, Ye Fan stood and watched with great interest.

Soon, the show on the stage ended, and another group of actors changed.

The actors this time looked a little familiar, and they looked a bit like mainlanders.

"These are not locals!"

Ye Fan discussed with the people beside him.

"Looking at his face, he looks a bit like a northerner!"
