My surname is Wang, my neighbor Wu Dalang

Songyue City.

The people living in the city are mainly Han people and merchants. Of course, this place has also become a trade distribution center for Koryo, Dayan and coastal countries.

Since the morning, Songyue City has been in chaos for a while. It is said that Dayan raised troops across the sea to attack Goryeo. People in the city ran to the port to watch the excitement. As a result, they saw Dayan's warships on the far side of the sea gradually drifting away. Go, and the Koreans settled down.

Wang Lin took Yan Qing and dozens of Jinyiwei dressed as merchants in his micro-clothes ashore along the coast, led by the people from Murong Company, and quietly entered Songyue City.

This city is very different from the last time Wang Lin raided Korea.

It should have undergone several reconstructions and expansions. The scale of the city is now comparable to the counties in Dayan, and the layout of the city is basically similar to that of Han.

On both sides of the two avenues running from east to west, north to south, there are row upon row of shops and restaurants, and at the intersection of the two avenues, there are the yamen stationed here by the Dayan court, the Songyue county government office, and the hundreds of officials stationed here by Jinyiwei. Household.

Above the city gate, flying high is the bright red flag of the Great Swallow.

Of course, as landlords, the Koreans also set up an official agency in Songyue City to cooperate with Songyue County in managing the city of trade and collect certain taxes.

The commercial tax of this city is 80.00% charged by Dayan and 20.00% by Goryeo.

Because of the gathering of merchants, the tax revenue is not low despite the fact that there are few people in the small city.

The city is very lively. Merchants from all over the world dressed in various costumes come and go, or hang out, or trade with people, or go shopping.

Wang Lin and the others walked along the flow of people, Wang Lin smiled lightly and said, "Xiao Yi, it seems that this small town is already extraordinary, I never thought that Dayan is overseas, and there is such a trading city In the future, this place should not be underestimated, Jin Yiwei needs to strengthen its manpower."

Yan Qing received the order in a low voice, but her eyes were full of vigilance, looking around.

Although the emperor's visit to Songyue City is a secret, no one can guarantee that the news will not be leaked. If an assassin appears, the consequences will be disastrous.

After walking around the city, Wang Lin couldn't help but exclaimed when he saw that the folk customs were the same as those in China, "I don't know who the county magistrate is here. He is a capable person who can manage a small overseas town well-organized, orderly, and prosperous. Can do a lot.”

Yan Qing lowered his voice and said: "Your Majesty, the county magistrate of this city is named Li Zhihuan. His mother is Korean, his father is Han, and a former Jinshi of the Song Dynasty. After being selected by the cabinet, he was stationed in this city as the county magistrate, and he has the right to know about Korea's overseas trade and other matters. Although it is a county magistrate, its grade is the fifth grade.

This man is both civil and military, and he is a talented person.In the two years of governance in Songyue City, he has achieved remarkable achievements and has a good reputation. "

As the commander of Jinyiwei, the head of the secret service around the emperor, and the head of the intelligence agency, it would be easy for Yan Qing to grasp the relevant information of Songyue City.

In fact, the hundred households of Jinyiwei Songyue City were headed by Zhang Sheng, and the Jinyiwei under his command had been hiding around the emperor in plain clothes as a secret sentinel.

If there is any trouble, Zhang Sheng and his subordinates will immediately stand up and defend the holy bow.

Standing by the side of the street, Wang Lin looked up at the Songyue County Government not far away. Suddenly, he wanted to meet this Li Zhihuan.

To be able to implement Dayan's code system and Han people's customs and culture in an isolated city overseas, even a small city in a mere area, actually contributes a lot of taxes to Dayan, this person is definitely a talent.

Wang Lin hesitated for a moment, before making a decision, when he suddenly heard a loud noise coming from the front.

Wang Lin frowned, then stepped forward to look.

Surrounded by a group of people, seven or eight warriors in black guarded a slender woman wearing a veil and a red and blue long skirt with wide sleeves. behind the shoulders.

Wang Lin recognized at a glance that this was the traditional costume of Dongying women in the Heian period, the twelve single clothes.

The so-called Twelve Single Clothes, officially known as Wuyi Clothes Clothing or Ladies’ Room Clothing, are composed of Tang clothes, skirts, tops, beating clothes, 袿 and single clothes.

At the end of the Heian period, rituals, nepotism, hair knots, crowns, etc. were added.

"Twelve" does not mean that there are twelve floors, but that there are many floors, which means very luxurious, and it is more of a status symbol.

Dongying girl?Wang Lin's thoughts flashed, and his deep eyes immediately fell on the woman.

In his previous life, Wang Lin traveled to the island country and visited the Heian Era Museum. Among them, the Twelve Uniforms are the most vivid in his memory. In terms of clothing alone, they are elegant and luxurious, and in modern terms, they are very stylish.

It is not surprising that Dongying women appear in Songyue City. This city is a city of trade, and there will naturally be Dongying merchants who come and go.

More than a dozen youths dressed as Koryo warriors aggressively surrounded the Dongying caravan, yelling angrily, speaking in Koryo.

Yan Qing frowned and waved her hand quietly.

Zhang Sheng, a hundred households of Jinyiwei in Songyue City, hurriedly squeezed through the crowd to lower his voice and said, "Master Hou, I know these Koreans. The leader of the Koreans is named Jin Huanzheng. Nephew, this person controls Kaesong Trading Co., the largest company in Korea. He usually trades with merchants from various countries in Songyue City.

Lord Hou, the Koreans are accusing these Dongying people of being unruly. They agreed to sell a shipment of sea salt to the Kaesong trading company, but they backtracked and turned around and made a deal with the Jinren. "

Zhang Sheng paused, seemed to realize something, and quickly added: "Master Hou, usually when this kind of thing happens, the people under his subordinates will come forward to mediate, so that there will be no conflict, but today..."

Zhang Sheng hesitated to speak, and quietly glanced at Wang Lin at the side with awe-filled eyes.

What he meant was that today the emperor suddenly paid a private visit to the city in a micro-clothes, and all his hands were used to protect the emperor, so he didn't bother to care about these dogs tearing cats and biting them.

Yan Qing nodded slightly.

In the crowd, Jin Huanzheng was filled with indignation. Dayan Jinyiwei, who was still wondering why the city maintained order, hadn't shown up for a long time today. He and Zhang Sheng had a pretty good relationship, and they often had a drink every three to five days.

Jin Huanzheng was very angry.

As an aristocrat in Korea and closely related to Dayan, he can be regarded as a prominent figure in Songyue City, but the caravan of the Fujiwara family in Dongying cheated him once out of thin air, and bought a shipment of sea salt as agreed by Kaesong Trading Co. , He had already ordered people to go back to Kaesong to collect the Central Plains silks and teas that the Dongying people called for, and prepared to trade with the Dongying people, but they had already made a move to the Jin Kingdom businessman Wanyan Zhithorn.

When Wanyan Zhici heard that the Yan army was attacking, he had already panicked and escorted a ship of sea salt and fled in panic.

Jin Huan couldn't get upright, so he led people to block the Dongying caravan that was about to leave.

The veiled Dongying woman suddenly said indifferently: "Jin Huanzheng, who said that our goods must be sold to you Koreans? We agreed at the beginning, barter, I will wait for you for two days, As a result, you were late, and I was anxious to get back home, so I handed it over to Wanyan Zhici, what's wrong?"

The woman spoke Chinese.

The voice was soft and melodious, slightly stiff.

Jin Huanzheng also changed into Chinese and retorted: "It takes time to collect goods, and it takes time to transport them from Kaesong to Songyue City. I will send someone to tell you repeatedly. Wait for a certain day, and you have clearly agreed to it. But in order to make a profit, they sold it to the Jinren at a high price, making fools of us Koreans? Tell you, this is Korea, not your Dongying!"

The woman suddenly sneered: "Jin Huanzheng, you seem to have forgotten that this city is the land of Yan State, and in this city, you Koreans are the same as us Dongying people, there is no difference."

Jin Huanzheng was momentarily at a loss for words.

The woman sneered again: "Don't get in the way, I'm going back to China, get out of the way!"

Jin Huanzheng's subordinates were not willing to give in, and upon hearing this, they surrounded him even more.

The black-clothed warriors under the woman's command were furious, and all of them drew their knives out of their sheaths, with cold expressions on their faces.

Wang Lin stood quietly outside the crowd, staring at the Dongying woman. The woman seemed to feel something and raised her head to look at Wang Lin.

Seeing a Han man with a tall and straight figure and a heroic face standing outside the crowd, dressed in brocade clothes, with a graceful demeanor, the woman's eyes froze slightly.

She saw it with her own eyes, and as far as the man looked, a Han man in casual clothes beside him who looked like a guard rushed in with a few people. Jin Huanzheng recognized Zhang Sheng at a glance, and couldn't help but said happily: "Zhang Baihu, Mr. Zhang, come and make the decision for someone!"

Under the eyes of the emperor and Yanqing, Zhang Sheng dared not talk nonsense with Jin Huanzheng, and immediately coughed twice, without looking at Jin Huanzheng, but said indifferently: "This is Zhang Sheng, a hundred households of Jinyiwei in this city, you are not allowed to come here If there is any dispute, you can go to the county government to find the county magistrate to judge."

Jin Huanzheng was stunned, he didn't expect Zhang Sheng to ignore him today and let him down in public.

The Dongying woman wrote lightly: "Master Zhang, we are law-abiding businessmen, and we have never been short of the city's taxes. We have sold out the goods and are leaving today. Jin Huanzheng led people to stop us. In fact, there is no dispute between us. We leave here Just go!"

After finishing speaking, the Dongying woman waved her hand, and she and several of her subordinates were about to separate from the crowd and walk away.

The crowd dispersed. Seeing the turmoil dissipated invisibly, two of Jin Huanzheng's subordinates were so angry that they couldn't help rushing forward and wanted to fight the Dongying people. In a flash of cold light, the Dongying black-clothed warrior actually fell With one blow, the head of one of the Koreans was beheaded.

Blood gushed out, and the crowd screamed in shock, fleeing to make up for the fall.

Zhang Sheng was furious, Dongying people dared to kill people in front of Jin Yiwei, this is not bad.

Especially in front of Emperor Dayan.

Zhang Sheng roared angrily, and immediately led his men to surround the Dongying people. The Dongying woman obviously knew that things were going to be difficult today, so she gritted her teeth and waved her hand. The black-clothed warriors under her command immediately drew their swords out of their sheaths and fought with Jin Yiwei. .

The spectators all hid under the eaves of the shops on both sides.

Wang Lin frowned. These seven or eight Dongying warriors were obviously skilled, and Zhang Sheng and the Jinyiwei fell to the disadvantage within a few rounds.
