Great Song Pirate

Chapter 102

After leaving the house, everyone got in the car and took a look at the nearby wharf. This is indeed an important town in the south of the Yangtze River. Compared with Haining, the busyness of the wharf is incomparable. There are many ships berthing here, and the ships that load and unload goods It was busy, and there were at least thousands of poor porters squatting on the pier waiting for work. It seemed that the business activities of Song Dynasty were really developed!

Li Mutian explained: "This wharf is the official wharf of Hangzhou. Most of the ships in it are official ships of the government, and most of the civilian ships are docked in other cities. There are also people from the city shipping department to check and collect taxes. If there is an escort agency, this is not the point. After all, most of the pirates don't take the initiative to find these official ships to be unlucky, in case they are wiped out by the government, and our civilian ships are the ships that the pirates mainly pay attention to. If there is an escort agency here, we don't need much use of this pier, and there is no need to be here Docking, the Escort's boats can berth in other cities, which can save a lot of berthing fees!"

Xu Yi nodded and said yes. After watching for a while, everyone got in the car and drove all the way towards the West Lake. If you don't go to Hangzhou and don't reach the West Lake, you haven't been to Hangzhou. Although Xu Yi is not very interested in this, he is still in a hurry to do it Get all the goods you need, and go back to Dulong Island as soon as possible to discuss with Jin Huhu about the Escort Bureau!He also knew that the many landscapes of the later generations of West Lake have not yet been formed, at most there is a Leifeng Pagoda, most of the others were gradually formed after Zhao Gou moved his capital to Hangzhou, but seeing Li Mutian's enthusiasm, it is inconvenient to refuse , so it's better to go to the West Lake for a day to play with Li Mutian in the car.

Sure enough, as Xu Yi expected, although the scenery of West Lake is pleasant, it does lack a lot of scenic spots compared with later generations. The only things to see are Leifeng Pagoda, which is famous all over the world because of the Legend of the White Snake, and Yongming Temple, which is famous for Nanping Evening Bell. , In addition, there are several scenic spots in Lingyin Temple, which was built in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. These places are quite different from those in later generations, but Xu Yi is very interested in seeing them, and feels that the trip is worthwhile.

And Li Mutian also deliberately made friends with Xu Yi. After visiting the West Lake, he entertained Xu Yi at the most famous restaurant in Hangzhou on the side of the West Lake. Although Hangzhou cuisine has not fully formed its own characteristics at this time, it has already begun It has a rudimentary form, and Xu Yi, who has been staying at sea, still has an appetite to eat and praises, people, live a lifetime, some people are for fame, some people are for profit, but Xu Yi doesn't care much about these, let alone now he Although it is nameless, there is still a lot of money in the purse. Of course, the money is in the name of Jin Huo. Sooner or later, it will be his Xu Yi, so Xu Yi thinks that it is not good to come to the Song Dynasty to taste here. Food is also a pity.

They sat in the private room upstairs. During the dinner, Li Mutian accompanied Xu Yi, Xue Tu and others talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious. They exchanged glasses and drank a lot of good wine. In order to adjust the atmosphere, Li Mutian called A father and daughter singing in the restaurant came to perform in the private room. Xu Yi was very new to this. After all, it was the first time he saw such a singing since he came to Song Dynasty. Now for him Everything here is so novel, but luckily he still knows how to cover up, otherwise Li Mutian would have laughed his ass off long ago, he is simply a grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden for the first time!

The singing girl babbled along with her father's huqin and sang: "Liyu Fanglin is facing Gaoge, the new clothes are beautiful and quality, and Yinghu Ningjiao doesn't enter at first sight, and she greets her with a smile when she comes out of the curtain. The face of the enchantress is like The flowers contain dew, and the stream of eucalyptus trees shines brightly; the flowers bloom and fall for a long time, and when they fall red, the ground returns to silence!"

After all, Xu Yi was a science student, so he was not familiar with this song. Hearing the singer's beautiful voice, and the lyrics and music were very tactful, he clapped his hands to express his appreciation.

"Brother Xu, did you ever know the source of this song?" Li Mutian asked casually.

Xu Yi blushed, he was dressed like a scholar, but there was not much ink in his belly, so he smiled awkwardly: "I'm not afraid of brother Li's jokes, my family was originally in Nanyang overseas, and it can be considered that I have been away from home for many years Oh, I have never heard of this poem before! Brother Li laughed at me!"

Only then did Li Mutian recall that Xu Yi had said before that he was a native of the Song Dynasty who had returned from overseas, and before landing, he fell into the hands of Jin Huo and became a pirate. This was the first time he landed on the land of the Song Dynasty. So I didn't think that the strange guest said: "So that's the case. I forgot if Brother Xu didn't say it. Don't blame Brother Xu. It's my fault! You should be punished, you should be punished, this poem is very famous, it is called Yushu * Flowers were created by the Empress Chen of the Southern Dynasty, and many people have sung them!"

It was only then that Xu Yi realized that the singing girl was really singing a noun. Although he didn't know about Yushu*hua, he still knew about Du Mu's famous poem "Parking in the Qinhuai River", "Smoke cage, cold water, moon cage sand, Night mooring Qinhuai near a restaurant." .The business girl doesn't know the hatred of subjugated country, she still sings love flowers across the river.Looking at the scenery of the West Lake outside the window, and thinking about the soon-to-be-lost Northern Song Dynasty, I felt that it was very ominous to sing this song at this time, so I said with a smile: "It turns out that this song is the famous Yushu*hua. I used to sing this song. I heard my father mention it before, but I don’t remember it, this song is an ominous sound, so it doesn’t matter if you don’t listen to it! Hehe!”

"It's exactly right! You should change to a lyric card!" Hearing that Xu Yi didn't like this Yushu*hua lyric card, Li Mutian waved his hand to let the performer father and daughter change the song.

"Brother Xu may not have known that he has been overseas all the year round. Now the Jin Kingdom in the north is becoming stronger and stronger. Since the founding of the country, it has continued to use troops against Daliao. Now Daliao is beaten by Jin. The day before yesterday I heard that the court seemed to intend to join Jin to attack Liao , I'm afraid this Daliao will die soon due to the union of my Great Song and Jin! My father still has business in Beihe, and he wants to let Yudi go to Hebei in the next year. If the imperial court can take down the Yanyun area, my father plans to Expanding the business of the Li family to several prefectures of Yanyun, do you know what brother Xu thinks about the future imperial court’s use of troops in Daliao?” Listening to the singer singing, Li Mutian brought the topic to the current situation and their Li family’s business up.

Xu Yi is very clear about what is going to happen in the future, but he can't remember the exact time when the Northern Song Dynasty sent troops to attack Liao. But Li Mutian said so, it seems that it will not be too long before the Northern Song Dynasty uses troops against Daliao Yes, and the Li family can know this kind of news, it seems that the power of the Li family is far more than in the Hangzhou area, and they must have a considerable business presence in Bianliang, Tokyo in the Central Plains, otherwise, Li Mutian would not be able to easily know about such things. Anyway, there are no outsiders here, so he said casually: "I think Brother Li should persuade Shopkeeper Li not to go on this trip to Hebei. Let me say that this time the Song and Jin joint expedition against Liao is really unwise, and Xu is not optimistic about this expedition against Liao at all!"

Li Mutian was very surprised by Xu Yi's opinion, so he asked puzzledly: "Brother Xu, why is he so disapproving of the imperial court's plan to send troops to attack Liao? His Daliao is already at the end of his life, and I am afraid that it is not too far away from the destruction of the country. If the imperial court sends troops at this time, their Daliao must not be able to withstand the simultaneous attack of Song and Jin. I, Song, took down Yanyun The sixteen prefectures are not impossible. How can Brother Xu say that the court's move is not a wise one?"

Xu Yi said with a smile: "Brother Li is right, but Brother Li only saw the surface of the matter and didn't see the depth of the problem. However, the country has not yet reached the point where it will perish immediately. The Liao Kingdom has been at war with the Jin Kingdom for many years, and its Khitan soldiers are also good at riding. It is far from being comparable to the soldiers of our Great Song Dynasty. What's more, the imperial court is now forming an alliance with the Jin Kingdom, which is also seeing the immediate benefits, and does not think too deeply. After the founding of the country, it has been expanding its territory. It is also its ambition to destroy the Liao Dynasty. After so many years of exchanges between the Liao Kingdom and the Great Song Dynasty, the Liao Kingdom has already stopped fighting for many years, and the two sides live in peace. Once the Jin Kingdom destroys Liao Let it go, the front of his soldiers will definitely point directly at the hinterland of the Central Plains, and capture more land. Once the Liao Kingdom is destroyed, I am afraid it will not be a good thing for the Song Dynasty. If I say it, I would rather go to the Liao Kingdom to fight against the Jin Kingdom now The army will not join forces with the Kingdom of Jin to destroy the Kingdom of Liao. At least if the Kingdom of Liao exists, it can contain the Kingdom of Jin. Once the Kingdom of Liao is destroyed, the Kingdom of Jin will have nothing to do with it. The fierce iron cavalry built over the years, I'm afraid my Song Dynasty will be in danger!" Xu Yi obviously drank a little too much, and his words were less considerate.

Hearing Xu Yi's words, Li Mutian felt that Xu Yi's vision was far-reaching. Although he lived at sea all year round, he was still so clear about the situation on land. Li Mutian was a little surprised. Just as he was about to speak, The door of their room was suddenly pushed open, Xu Yi and the others immediately looked towards the door, Li Bo got up vigilantly and stood up, looking at the person at the door vigilantly.

After the door was pushed open, everyone saw a young man standing at the door wearing a brocade robe, a brocade belt around his waist, and holding a folding fan. Looking up and down at this young man who was about the same age as them, he didn't know what was the matter with this person suddenly breaking into their room, but Li Mutian was a little unhappy, although this person also looked like a person who was studying, why was he so ignorant of the rules? , trespassing into a cubicle where other people eat?
When Li Mutian was about to explode, the young man cupped his fists first and said: "Excuse me, everyone. When I passed by here just now, I heard someone talking about the current situation here. I think what a brother just said is really high-spirited. So, out of curiosity, I barged in and disturbed everyone, please forgive me! I, Zhao Qi, after hearing what you said just now, I really want to chat with you, I wonder if you would do me a favor?"
