The most unlucky crossing in history

In the courtyard of the lord of Bakpur City, the lord of the city, Abhishek, held a large banquet to welcome the envoys of friends and neighbors who came from afar.

Tan Yuanjingui is the prince of the Daqing Dynasty. Although Abhishek is the lord of the city, his status is not as good as Tan Yuanjin. Tan Yuanjin naturally sits at the top of the banquet hall. Linghu Qing is the translator of this envoy, so he sits on one side, and the city lord is on the right. Xie Wenyuan was on the left, and officials from the other two countries lined up one by one.

Delicious food and wine were placed in front of the table. Tan Yuanjin and Abeshe were discussing two customs and anecdotes. Linghu Qing was busy translating, but it was not an awkward moment. The rest of the accompanying officials and Bakpur officials stared at each other while talking lowly about each other. It's weird to hold two wooden pieces lightly to pick up vegetables, while thinking that the other party is really vulgar to take food with bare hands.

When their eyes met, they could only smile slightly and toast, there was no other way.In the end, it's still people chatting with their own people.

Xie Wenyuan came to Shendu with Xie Cheng for a period of time when he was young, and knew Shendu's language, but he didn't want others to know, and he didn't have the intention to deal with these Shendu officials who had only been together for a day, so he pretended not to understand Others said that they drank and ate food leisurely.

This day was very busy, and as soon as the boat stopped, he and other officials visited the government. When everything was done, he rushed to the port to prepare for the entry etiquette, and then entered the city. After mentioning the return time, there was no time to talk to Zhong Qiyun after that.

The mission was delayed for such a long time, and the fleet was unable to unload the cargo. I think he can only stay on the ship for a day...

Thinking of what Zhong Qiyun said about life in wine, Xie Wenyuan took a sip of the wine brewed by Shendu Country. It was neither mellow nor fragrant, and even had a hint of spice, which was strange and unpalatable. Exquisite and unique, he can't taste any benefits, and he can't understand the taste of this prudence.

Holding a large wide-mouthed cup in his hand, Xie Wenyuan observed it carefully, and suddenly curled his lips slightly, not knowing what kind of life and taste Zhong Qiyun would be able to taste when the wine fell into Zhong Qiyun's mouth.

Speaking of which, although he is not a good wine drinker, he has tasted a lot of good wine with others in such a position, but...

"grown ups."

Zhang Hong standing behind him made a soft sound, Xie Wenyuan took another sip of wine and said, "What's the matter?"

"Zhang Hong is a little confused. Although the dishes on the table look exquisite, there is no meat or meat. Could it be that the city lord deliberately made things difficult?"

Xie Wenyuan smiled slightly when he heard the words: "Shendu is originally the birthplace of many sects, which is different from Dazuntian.

The son is in power, and Shendu is a country ruled by religion. All the people believe in religion, and the sects are divided into five classes. People of different classes are not allowed to marry, but live together, and even rarely communicate. If there is any violation, it is disrespectful to God. To lose their lives. "

"The strictness of the country's level is incomparable to Daqing, and the higher the level of the race, the more it is blessed by the gods, and it will be more restrained. The level of the city master Abeshe should be mostly uncontaminated, even the wine... ..."

Xie Wenyuan sighed slightly: "I'm afraid I found it because of the tradition of Dazhu."

Zhang Hong was a little stunned when he heard the words, "Then...so we won't get meat in the future?"

Xie Wenyuan nodded.

The city lord's circular dome house is boring, but the city center outside the house is very lively.

Today happened to be the day when Bakpur City worshiped Zhongmei God, and the sacrificial activity has lasted for nearly a thousand years regardless of the weather.

It's just that Zhong Qiyun and Yang Xiangdong didn't know how to be cautious, so they didn't know. They just followed the people to the center of the city. At this time, it should be the end of offering sacrifices to welcome the gods. In the big square, men, women and children stood upright, their eyes fixed on the stage devoutly, and then the saints raised their arms and shouted loudly to the priest's chanting. The scene was very exciting. Solemn, majestic and amazing.

Not to mention that Yang Xiangdong was dumbfounded, even Zhong Qiyun couldn't help but gasp in amazement.

At the end, the crowd dispersed like a tide again, Zhong Qiyun led Yang Xiangdong around, bought some random things, and the two of them walked back when they were almost gone.

Another night.

Before dawn the next morning, Jiang Si Chengbian knocked on the door of Zhong Qiyun's room and told him that Zhang Zhenfeng and his party had just left quickly.

"Is there anyone to follow?"

Jiang Sicheng shook his head: "Mr. Zhang has several masters in the rivers and lakes. No one in our fleet can deal with it. I'm afraid that asking people to follow will scare the snake away. However, I asked Gao Jin to avoid their itinerary and follow them at night. Gena City, spy on the situation secretly."

Zhong Qiyun nodded, "Brother Jiang, please."

At the beginning of the sun, under the leadership of the guards of the Kingdom of Shendu, the delegation of the Dazhu Mission passed through the main street in the city of Bakpur.It was the first time for Bakpur to receive the Dajin Mission, and it was also the first time for the people in the city to see the guard of honor of the Dajin Dynasty.Just like foreign envoys going on a grand feast, the streets gradually gathered crowds watching. This time, the guard of honor, etiquette, costumes, etc., which were completely different from Shendu, spread all over Bakpur within half a day.

Up and down.

Especially the elegant and flexible silk clothes on the officials, the gorgeous and detailed patterns on the clothes amazed everyone who saw them.

In the afternoon, Zhong Qiyun asked Liu Wangcai and Shendu, who had been in contact with Pei Wu, to drive over. He took the opportunity to ask Liu Wangcai and others to deliver silk to the street where the Daqing Mission passed by this morning for sale.

However, instead of reselling ready-made clothes in Sangha City, Zhong Qiyun asked him to bring gorgeous silk fabrics there to display and sell them this time.

"Brother Zhong, this cloth is no better than a ready-made garment. We shipped one-third of one-third of the ready-made garment. A piece of ready-made garment can be sold for several times the price of the same amount of cloth. Why don't you try the garment first?"

Zhong Qiyun looked at Liu Wangcai with a smile, "If you want to get it, you can try it with two, but in Shendu, ready-made clothes may not sell better than cloth."

"Ah?" Liu Wang was puzzled.

Zhong Qiyun waved his hand, you go first, you will know when you go.

Liu Wangcai waited for others to go and came back within half a day, and sold all the several carts of cloth and exchanged several carts of treasures, except for the remaining two ready-made clothes that no one wanted.

Liu Wangcai blushed, "Brother Zhong, you are a genius, how do you know that people here prefer cloth?"

Zhong Qiyun laughed and said, "You sold the cloth, and you didn't see what the common people in Shendu were wearing?"

Liu Wangcai was startled, and touched his nose for a moment, "I've already counted the gold, so I don't care about these things." After finishing speaking, he handed over the recorded accounts to Zhong Qiyun.

Zhong Qiyun took the account book and explained it to Liu Wangcai.

Due to the special geographical location, Shendu country is hot in four seasons, so most people in Shendu wear thin and short shirts.Most of their clothes are made of cotton and linen. Although they are not as elegant and flexible as silk, they are also well-made. The colors are very bright and beautiful, and the styles are complicated but harmonious, unique and full of vitality.

"Shendu women's clothing is different from the gentleness and beauty of the Dazhao Dynasty. It is a kind of clothing called Sally. It is mainly made of a piece of cloth several feet long, and the woman is directly wrapped around the body." In this way, the woman can be outlined. The charming body curves also expose the waist, arms, and shoulders, showing its unrestrained and sexy.

And this kind of clothing is loved by noble ladies of the upper class or busy peasant women all day long.It's just because the rich and the poor are different, so the texture is different.The clothes worn by the poor are mostly made of cotton or burlap, while the clothes of the noble ladies are made of more luxurious cloth, decorated with patterns woven with gold and silver threads, forming a sharp contrast.

"But their clothes are not as light and thin as silk.

The rich are not short of money, what they lack is this kind of light, cool and gorgeous silk fabric, not the complicated long-sleeved gowns like Daqing. Those clothes may be beautiful in Daqing, but for Shendu But it's not suitable," Zhong Qiyun really didn't consider this point before.

"So those ready-made clothes can't be sold?!"

"Selling should be able to sell some, but we have to hire some cautious female workers first, let people pick some and change them to see if it's feasible..." At this point, Zhong Qiyun narrowed his eyes and smiled: " However, it doesn’t matter if you can’t sell it, if you can sell those cloths, everything will be worth it this time..."

Liu Wang just remembered that the selling price in the afternoon was eight times higher than the original price in Sangha City. After such a calculation, compared with the purchase price...

Liu Wangcai couldn't figure it out, he sighed deeply, what is an inch of brocade and an inch of gold, this silk is really worth more than gold, he has really understood it in the past half a day!

The saying that "the precious and beautiful cloth from the Great Late Dynasty, and the silk offered to the king" spread quickly in the city.The closer the next few days are to the Lord Shendu's birthday, the more people will buy supplies to celebrate the Lord's birthday on the street. Zhong Qiyun asked Liu Wangcai and others to rent two places in the place where the Kshatriya caste lives together and the area where the people come and go most frequently. There is a shop where the hired Shendu female workers can make part of the monotonous silk into women's veils, men's headscarves and other small items, and sell them at a higher price.

There were so many rich and wealthy people in Bakpur City that Zhong Qiyun never expected that batch after batch of gold was transported into the cellar warehouse at an astonishing speed, and the warehouse was getting more and more full of all kinds of treasures.

Zhong Qiyun roughly calculated that if all the silks were sold out, he would earn more this time than he earned last year.

On January 29th, Lord Shendu’s birthday, after Zhong Qiyun arranged the matters of the silk shop and the storage of gold treasures, he took Pei Wu, Zhang Sheng and other eight people to put on Shendu’s men’s clothes and headed to Gena City early in the morning. .

The city of Gena was not far away, so they rushed all day, and arrived at Gena at night.

At this time, the lights of the capital are shining, and the streets and alleys, as well as the domes on the houses, are covered with various colored cloth strips and flags.The people in the city gathered on the streets, singing and dancing. The dancers with good makeup, eyebrows, eyes and figure twisted their bare waists to the music, attracting frequent applause from the men.

"I heard that Lord Shendu is deeply respected by the people of Shendu, and every time it comes to his birthday, the people spontaneously come to the foot of the imperial city to pray for him and offer gifts."

The crowd was crowded, Zhong Qiyun squeezed into the crowd and had no way out, so he could only follow the crowd to the King's Castle

moved.

The crowd was noisy, Zhong Qiyun raised his voice and asked, "Why is this? Could it be that the lord of the country has done something good?"

Pei Wu shook his head, "I don't know whether it counts or not, but I heard that on the day he became the king, colorful clouds appeared above the dome of the castle, and the people thought he was a god. Over the years, the Shendu people have benefited a lot from conquests and annexation of small border countries, but the people there have really suffered.”

Zhong Qiyun saw that Pei Wu understood so deeply, and was proficient in many languages, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Pei Wu, you understand Zhancheng dialect, and you understand Shendu dialect, so you shouldn't worry about where to go. Why do you come to my little one? The fleet?"

When I mentioned it, Pei Wu smiled wryly, "My father was a translator for the Hu family to receive foreign merchants, and he taught me these foreign dialects. Originally, he wanted me to take the imperial examination and enter Honglu Temple, but I I was not good enough and failed in repeated trials, and after his death, I also failed to be a scholar..."

"The Hu family never reused it..."

It's just that Zhong Qiyun hadn't finished speaking, and it didn't matter, the crowd screamed, and the gathered people started to move around.He, Pei Wu and the others were pushed away by the scattered crowd.

Zhong Qiyun was about to turn around to look for someone, but the next moment his neck was pinned by a short knife.Zhong Qiyun's expression froze and he was about to fight back when another knife was pressed against his waist.

Zhong Qiyun didn't dare to move again.

"I've been looking for you for a long time, hateful, big, old, human!" The strange voice of the man gnashing his teeth came from his ear.
