On the gold-paved Silk Road, there is a hub transit city. He is located in the core area of the Western Regions. The fertile soil and convenient transportation of the Mishui Valley have nurtured the people here and brought countless wealth to this land.
This city is the capital of the Kingdom of Kang-"Samukjian".
Samojan is what people called it in the Tang Dynasty. Another name given to it by later history books is well-known in history and even in the world-Samarkand.
If Datang Chang’an is the most majestic and most spectacular city today, it is not an exaggeration to claim that it is the No. 1 city in the world; then, as the core city of the Silk Road, Samadjian is the richest city in the world. none of them.
It is reported that more than half of the wealth of all countries running through the Silk Road is concentrated here. If the wealth carried by the merchants walking here is concentrated, it is enough to be worthy of a Great Tang Empire!
The rumors always have their exaggerations and falsehoods, but this is enough to show how rich Desa Mojian is.
At this moment, Wu Meiniang is driving with her huge caravan into this rumored No. 1 "Business City" in the world.
"My boss, let's run to this place all the way, what are we going to picture?" Su Lianqing, who was in the same car with Wu Meiniang, looked out the window for a few times, and whispered a little uncomfortably, " There are big-nosed, green-eyed, red-haired, blue-haired bearded ghosts everywhere. They smell like sheep. These city walls and houses are also so weirdly repaired, it makes them uncomfortable to look around."
Wu Meiniang, who had traveled a long distance, looked tired, leaning up on the car and said lightly: "I didn't ask you to follow."
"Hey, you are not kind enough to say that!" Su Lianqing angrily said, "I'm still thinking about your safety? I have left my baby son less than three months old for the long journey with you. When you came to this ghost place, you didn't have any kind words to me!"
This sentence seemed to pierce the pain in Wu Meiniang's heart. She wrinkled her brows lightly and said, "Am I not?"
"I really can't figure it out!" Su Lianqing said, "Is there nothing but money in the eyes of a businessman? You and Qin Mubai have not seen each other for more than a year, and you just gave birth to your baby son. At half a year old, you have the heart to leave them and run to these ghost places thousands of miles away to toss about?——I really don’t know what you pictured!"
"You will know from now on." Wu Meiniang sighed softly, patted the car board and said loudly, "Find a business station to settle down as soon as possible, everyone will have a good rest!"
"Yes, boss!"
Su Lianqing curled his lips and continued to look out the window, muttering: "This place is really lively, there are more people than Xishi in Chang'an. The goods on the street are piled like mountains, and the crowds can't get through. Now, this is still during the war-wow, is that the Dawan horse? It's so beautiful! I want to buy one for the guy in my family to go back!-No, two! Boss, can you lend me some money? Okay? My guy has no other hobbies, he likes horses!"
"Okay, don't nag!" Wu Meiniang said a little impatiently, "Fortunately, you are also an old river and lake, so rare and weird!-This trip is special, you don't want to make trouble!"
"Isn't it just doing business to make money, what's special?"
"Anyway, don't run around if you are okay, stay by my side and don't cause trouble! If there is any accident, I will definitely not care about you, let the ugly things come first!"
"Well, listen to you!"
After a little time, a large caravan composed of more than 300 vehicles from Wu's firm settled in a business post run by Sogdians.
After getting out of the car, Wu Meiniang went forward in person and communicated with the housekeepers and porters of Shangyi, and she was fluent in Sogdian. Su Lianqing could hear the clouds and mist, and after Wu Meiniang finished talking, she asked: "What do you say in the boss, why can't I understand a word?"
"It's been a few years since you followed me to the north and south, and you can't even speak a word in Sogdian." Wu Meiniang smiled, "I speak Sogdian. The owner of this shop is from Sogdian, that is, We often talk about the "Nine-surnamed Huren Zhaowu." If you want to walk on the Silk Road in the Western Regions, you don’t know Sogdian and Sogdian. It’s just like our Mandarin in the interior of the Tang Dynasty. Not only that, even if it is. There are also a large number of Sogdian merchants in the inland of the Tang Dynasty. Sogdian and Sogdian are things that business people must learn. Of course, small merchants and hawkers who are not well-developed are exceptions."
"Is it so mysterious?" Su Lianqing turned his eyes and said in confusion, "Zhaowu Nine Surname Hu?... Oh, it sounds familiar! It seems that there are many Zhaowu Nine Hus in places like Chang'an and Luoyang! "
"You, really should read more!" Wu Meiniang shook her head and smiled. "The nine surnames of Zhaowu are descendants of the Dayue clan, and some of them have mixed Huns from the Qin and Han Dynasties. The name'Zhaowu' comes from Zhaowu City in the Hexi Corridor was originally the capital of the Dayue clan. When the Huns forced the Ju clan to move westward, the name of the capital also moved west. The original meaning of Zhaowu was the capital city. After moving westward, the Dayue clan gradually moved west. It is divided into nine countries, and Kang is the sovereign state of the nine countries. The nine surnames of Zhaowu, Hu, are best at doing business-the capital of Kang Guo, Samadjian, is the place where merchants from all over the world gather. If business people do not come to Samadjian Take a walk, it can be said that this life is wasted!"
"It's really complicated, I don't understand!" Su Lianqing said with a pouted mouth, "I only know that doing business means buying cheap and selling expensive, making money and leaving. It's like you, taking the eighth generation of people's ancestors to the bottom. Clearly understand, are you tired?"
Wu Meiniang smiled and said: "If you want to do well, you must first sharpen your weapons. You know the art of war, knowing yourself and knowing that the enemy is not dead in battle. Business is actually the same as fighting. You have to make money from the other party, and the other party also wants to make your money. How can I win the other party? As early as when I was in business, I wanted to visit the well-known Samudian. For this reason, I spent several years studying Sogdian and Sogdian. Moreover, even in Doing business in the inland of the Tang Dynasty, it is also indispensable to deal with the Sogdians. The Sogdians are really a magical, industrious, and quite intelligent nation. Their merchants spread all over the world and earn the wealth of the world. Wherever they go, they must be the rich. Even in places like Chang'an and Luoyang, Sogdian merchants are also famous people. Zheng Anshun, the first wealthy businessman of the Tang Dynasty, has six Sogdians as housekeepers. Everyone can stand alone. It's amazingly capable of being well experienced. The Sogdians are all talented businessmen!"
"Hey! I really rarely hear you complimenting others like that!" Su Lianqing chuckled, "According to you, the Sogdians are really so amazing?"
While talking, a man walked out of the main hall of the Shangyi, about forty years old, wearing a tight-fitting white robe with narrow sleeves, a tall, pointed curly hat, and blue-eyed beard. With a tall nose, he is greeted with a smile on his face.
"My man Kant is here, he is the shopkeeper of the small shop, and sincerely welcomes the distinguished guests from the Tang Dynasty!" He turned out to be quite fluent in Chinese.
"It turned out to be from Kang Dong's family. It's polite to be in Wu Meiniang." Wu Meiniang returned the gift and smiled. "Kang Dong's Chinese is very fluent, and the Chinese name is also very authentic. I must have been to Datang. ?"
"Our people have been doing business in Chang'an and Luoyang for more than ten years, and that is my second hometown. Our people have only recently returned to their homeland. Therefore, our people are very cordial when they meet the distinguished guests from the Eastern Tang Dynasty!" Kant Come and kindly say, "The distinguished guests come from afar to work hard, so please enter the store and rest first. As long as there is anything to be done, Wu Dong's family will only give instructions. Whether it is to contact the government to apply for a quasi-business document or the goods need to be traded , The shop can do it for you. As for the cost, please rest assured that any price given by the shop is definitely the most reasonable in the whole Samadiya!"
"Hehe, Kang Dong's family really knows how to do business. Don't say anything else, you guessed everything I want to do next!" Wu Meiniang smiled, "Well, let's do business later. Talk. We’re tired after traveling thousands of miles, so let’s arrange room breaks first."
"No problem, Wu Dong's home is the guest of honor, please!"
Just when Kant's voice almost fell, a group of soldiers suddenly rushed in from outside the courtyard. Everyone wore heavy armor and dazzling swords in their hands, and wore a martial arts hat like a cockscomb on their heads, roaring aggressively to drive people away.
Suddenly, Kant was shocked and greeted him to stop shouting: "What's the matter? What are you doing!"
"Go away!" The leading military academy pushed him away and shouted, "My King Youling, all the Han, Shang and Han people in the city of Samuel will be arrested!"
Wu Meiniang, Su Lianqing and the others, their expressions suddenly changed!
"My boss, what happened?"
"I don't know!" Wu Meiniang took a deep breath, "Samoyen is a free trade city, and never refuses merchants from any country. Now he is suddenly arresting Han merchants—could it be related to the war? ?"
While talking, that team surrounded Wu Meiniang and others.
"You are Han Chinese!" The leading military academy pointed at Wu Meiniang and others with a knife, and shouted.
Su Lianqing was about to attack, Wu Meiniang pulled her and held her down, stepped forward, and said in fluent Sogdian: "Exactly. We are an official business from Lanzhou, Qinxian business!"
Wu Meiniang specifically said "Lanzhou" instead of "Chang'an", and she made the four words "Qinxian Business Name" a bit more emphasized.
"Lanzhou, Qinxian Company?" The military academy looked fiercely but very vigilantly and looked up and down Wu Meiniang. His eyes gradually grew a bit strange and colored, and even swallowed.
"By my king's order, all Han merchants and Han people in the built city of Samuel will be arrested." The military academy's voice was obviously softer, and the ambiguous Chao Wu Mei Niang leaned a little closer, and a pair of eyes glanced at him. On Wu Meiniang's towering chest, she lowered her voice and said, "I'm sorry, this beautiful beauty. I too... follow orders!"
"Go away!" With a sudden rebuke, the military academy fell to the sky and screamed loudly. The soldiers screamed loudly and stood up with their swords and guns.
Su Lianqing shook her body and appeared in front of Wu Meiniang. She stretched her foot like a ghost and stepped on the chest of the fallen military academy. She didn’t know when she had an extra dagger in her hand, tightly. Compared to his throat, he shouted: "The person who told you to spread, or I will cut your throat!"
Although the military academy didn't understand what Su Lianqing was talking about, the biting chill of the short sword had acted as an interpreter.
"Su Lianqing, you let him go. We are here to beg for money, not to fight." Wu Meiniang said calmly and calmly, then changed to Sogdian and said to the sergeants," Listen clearly, I am Wuzhao, the owner of the Lanzhou official merchant Qinxian firm. We are not ordinary Han merchants. My intention here is not just to do business, but also for other important purposes!"
"What's the purpose?" The collapsed military academy got up awkwardly, stepped back a few steps and asked angrily and carefully.
"You don't deserve to know." Wu Meiniang squinted at the military academy proudly, "Next, I will only talk to your three ministers and the king. If you know each other, you can quickly report back!"
"In Samokian, a businessman like you has eight hundred without one thousand!" The military academy was completely annoyed. He took a bite bitterly and prepared to draw his sword. He shouted, "Let me inform you. Why are you? — Brothers, grab it! If there is any resistance to kill!"
"Just rely!" Wu Meiniang suddenly shouted, "I can invite the hundreds of thousands of troops of Tang Xizheng Marshal Su Dingfang! Is it enough?"
"Uh!!——" The dozens of Sogdian soldiers who were about to swarm up immediately stopped as if they were caught in the fixation method.
The military academy's eyes widened and looked up and down Wu Meiniang again, and said in a daze, "You...Who are you?"
"Fool! You provoke the least nasty woman in the world!" Su Lianqing annoyed and stood in front of the military academy again, pointing to his nose and shouting, "It doesn't matter who she is, it matters It's her man!"
The military academy looked around in confusion, obviously not understanding Su Lianqing's words. Kant, the shopkeeper of Shangyi, hurriedly stepped forward to interpret it to him, and asked Su Lianqing, who was the man who was the shopkeeper in front of him?
"Listen well!" Su Lianqing said loudly with hands on hips, arrogant and ambitious, "Her man is the Great Protector of the Great Tang Anxi, who stepped down Tubo to majestic the world-Qin Mubai, Qin Shao Handsome!"
With a sound of "Hula", the group of military academies ran away and rushed away, screaming as they ran--"Quickly return to my king! The envoy of the Tang Dynasty has arrived at Sa Mojian!"
"Woo! Qin Mubai is here! Su Dingfang is here!"
"Has Datang killed and built in Samad?"
"Lord! Has the disaster of Kang country come? Please save us!"
……
Su Lianqing was immediately stunned. Looking back, Wu Meiniang was also at a loss. The two shook their heads in confusion.
On the contrary, it was Kant, the owner of the business station, who was already kneeling down on his knees as a pilgrimage to Wu Meiniang and others. He said in his mouth: "It turns out that the son of the true **** is here! The son of true **** is here!"
"Wh, what is the true god?" Su Lianqing asked in confusion.
"The true **** legend spread in Gaochang State, Datang Qin Lao Linggong Qin Shubao, is the real God of War! It is also the patron saint of all merchants on the Silk Road!" Kantlai put his hands together and lowered his head, extremely pious "I never thought that Wudong Home is the true god’s daughter-in-law!-You can go to every home in Samojian and have a look at every home. All the homes have worshipped the true god’s position, just like every home in the Central Plains. When people celebrate the New Year, there will be a statue of Qin Lao Linggong on the door!"
Wu Meiniang and Su Lianqing looked at each other, and were stunned for a while.
Kantlai said again: "Plus for the past two years, the name of the son of the true god-Helong Qin Marshal's great name has shaken the world, especially after he put down Tubo, the Western Regions large and small countries treat him like a thunderous. Now, in the true **** Next to it, there are often tributes to the life temple of Qin Shaoshuai-in other words, the status of Qin's father and son in the hearts of Sogdians is second only to God!"
