The big man has a living father

Chapter 218 (Large Chapter) Cantonese People and Cantonese Cuisine
The first propeller ship was named Chang'an.

It has epoch-making significance.

It's not just the technology on its propellers and tail.

Everything on this ship is the most advanced product of this era.

On deck, lunch time.

Many people did not choose to eat in the ship's restaurant, but chose to have a bite on the deck.

Because we are finally approaching Panyu.

Many people eat canned food on deck.

They eat not only canned meat in iron shells, but also canned fruit in glass bottles.

The treatment of Han soldiers, cavalry and infantry was already excellent throughout ancient history.

However, it is still a little worse than the navy.

Naval officers and soldiers have to consider nutritional balance, and also consider that each trip may not allow them to return for half a year, a year, or even several years.

Therefore, we should give them the best treatment within our power.

Huo Hai stood on the deck and asked: "Have you noticed any difference between the canned fruit and canned beef in your hands?"

Many people looked at the cans in their hands.

"Glass bottle?"

“Canned fruit has a rubber seal.”

Huo Hai nodded: "There is sealing rubber on the fruit can."

"Do you know why we are here?"

Many people don't understand.

These people are the elite selected from the Han soldiers and transferred to the navy. The new navy trained locally does not have the same combat effectiveness as them, so they are still training near the base.

They had conquered the grasslands and the Western Regions. In their view, the Kingdom of Nanyue was not that valuable.

To be precise, it is not worth spending such a huge cost to conquer it.

Huo Hai: “Because rubber trees can be planted here.”

"In the future, a large amount of canned fruit, rice, and meat will be produced here as essential food supplies at sea."

"Without this base, the cost of operating the Navy will skyrocket."

"Now our Han can only afford to support a navy of 20,000. But if we take over this place, we can support a navy of 300,000. Do you understand what I am saying?"

The navy understands this all too well.

According to the Han system, it was normal for sons to inherit their father's business. If one made great contributions and was awarded a title of nobility, his children would also have the job of a naval general in the future.

And if he was not granted a title of nobility but only became an official of 500 or 1,000 stones, then if there were not enough departments, he would just be a nominal position with no power.

Even if he couldn't even get 500 koku, there would be more naval positions in the future, and his children would not be squeezed out of naval positions.

This made them immediately understand the importance of conquering the Kingdom of Nanyue.

Of course, Huo Hai thought further.

Even though the 20,000-strong Han navy was far beyond the standards of this era, it could only control the coasts of five regions at most.

What should we do then? Transport the army there by ship?

Isn't that just taking off your pants to fart?

Therefore, to control the world's coasts, a large-scale navy is necessary.

To have such a large navy, it is necessary to lower the prices of canned food, marine equipment and other items.

There is only one place that can do this, and that is the Kingdom of Nanyue.

If it were in 2020 in the previous life, the southern coast of the Kingdom of Nanyue would not be worth mentioning, while the import and export trade in the Pearl River Delta was huge.

However, at this time, the population of the Chuyue area, Changsha State and Yangzhou was too small.

The population under the control of the Han Dynasty was only about two million. Even if we included those who were not under the control of the Han Dynasty and the barbarians, the total was less than ten million.

There is no need for such a small population to transport goods here. The Yangtze River can directly handle all the freight volume in this area.

Then why did Huo Hai want to conquer the Kingdom of Nanyue? !
Because! Red River Delta.

This is different from the Yangtze River Delta, which was gradually formed during the Song and Ming dynasties and only officially took shape in modern times.

The Red River Delta has matured in this era.

Huo Hai wanted to develop rice cultivation based on the Red River Delta, and then develop rubber cultivation based on the vicinity of the delta.

Then the food industry and some light industries will be developed in Panyu.

In this way, the production of the entire region can actually supply the materials needed for the entire great voyage.

But they don't produce ships here, so they have to be combined with the economic zones along the Yellow River to be used together, thus avoiding the possibility of rebellion by ambitious people in the future.

As for whether to plant rubber trees or Burmese banyan trees here, Huo Hai is still a little hesitant.

Logically speaking, rubber trees are better.

But if you can’t find rubber trees at the moment, you can get the Burmese banyan trees first.

The best thing would be to get rubber trees within the next three years, plant them extensively here, and then harvest natural Asan rubber from India to meet market demand.

Although the demand for rubber is increasing now, the combined production of Tianshan Rubber and Tianzhu Rubber should be able to last for more than ten years.

More than a decade later, rubber began to be produced on a large scale in Guangdong.

By that time, I'm afraid the electric power industry will also begin to develop on a large scale. It's just the right time.

Huo Hai didn’t say anything about why it took so long to get here.

But before landing, what should Huo Hai tell the navy about this?
Because along the way, Huo Hai did not allow the navy to eat canned food, told them to be frugal, and calculated the production cost of each can, which was five times the cost of eating the same food in Chang'an, and the transportation cost was five times again.

One can of food is equivalent to eating a dog leg in Chang'an, or even half a sheep.

The soldiers were carefully selected, and many of them have been in the army for more than five years. They still remember the days five years ago.

In that era, soldiers had a much better life than ordinary people, but compared to now, it is nothing.

And now, as long as we take over South Vietnam, we can live a life ten times better than the one we have now. We can eat and make canned food at will!
Can you bear this?

All the soldiers looked towards the coast with a little more heat in their eyes.

maritime.

A super invincible and terrifying large ship arrived.

A dragon boat race is being held at the mouth of the Pearl River.

This custom, which has been passed down for a long time in the Baiyue region, has a certain relationship with Qu Yuan.

After An Guo Shao Ji came, the local nobles and wealthy people had not organized a dragon boat race for a long time.

Commemorate Qu Yuan? Qu Yuan was forced to death by the people of the Three Qins. They give him a holiday every year to celebrate his good death. You go to commemorate Qu Yuan? Don't you want to live your life?

However, after An Guo Shao Ji learned about this situation recently, he took the initiative to establish a Han merchant caravan dragon boat team and invited good players from several nearby cities to compete.

When it comes to this competition, Zhao Yingqi is no longer sleepy.

Are you northerners any different from us?

I admit that you are good at building boats, but can you finish the dragon boat race?
What? Rowing on the Pearl River? We may not be able to row the whole way without capsizing, aren't you waiting to make a fool of yourself?
So, Zhao Yingqi was also watching there.

The dragon boats made their way to the finish line.

All the officials of the Nanyue Kingdom wrinkled their faces with laughter and looked towards the dragon boat of the royal guards that was crossing the finish line.

A city floated from the sea.

"Woo!!!"

The sound of this ship's whistle is comparable to that of the five giant ships before.

The appearance of this city at the mouth of the Pearl River directly caused riots on the spot.

If the paddle steamer before was understandable, then this thing covered in black paint that appeared here was really terrifying!

It's as scary as a person watching a tricycle race on the street and then a train comes towards them.

Many people from the South Vietnam who were watching the fun at the scene wanted to run away.

The leader of the Nanyue guards saw that the scene was about to become chaotic. In order to avoid casualties from being trampled and threatening Zhao Yingqi, he immediately shouted, "Everyone, don't panic. Stay where you are."

While helping Zhao Yingqi to get up.

After he shouted like that, the people at the scene were even more ready to run away.

What? You are the king and you are so great, you let us sit down and you run away first?
At this time, An Guo Shao Ji stood up and said, "Don't panic, everyone. This is the new ship of the Han Dynasty."

The scene immediately fell silent.

Some people were still running in the distance, but they were all stopped by the shouting: "Why are you panicking? The Han envoy said that it is the Han ship."

The runner stopped, shocked: "That's a ship??! It's bigger than the palace! It's like a city!"

"Where's the sail? If this is a ship, how did it get here without a sail? Did it row with oars?"

The scene fell silent, and An Guo Shao Ji smiled and said loudly: "Look at the flag hanging on the boat, it is the Huo family's flag, with black flag and gold characters on it, it should be... Lord Wu Hou is here in person."

"So it's understandable that the show is a little more grand."

"Don't panic."

Zhao Yingqi was at the scene, neither sitting down nor standing up, just half bent over.

If I sit down, wouldn't that mean I'm obeying the Han envoy's orders?
Wouldn't it be even more abrupt if I stood up?
The people of Nanyue actually did not obey the orders of the Nanyue king's officials, but instead obeyed the orders of the Han envoys.

Of course, since most of the people at the scene were An Guo Shao Ji’s employees, how could they not listen to An Guo Shao Ji?

Power is always accountable only to its source.

And when there is only one source of money, that source is power.

This gave Zhao Yingqi an excuse to back off.

"Marquis Wu? Why would Marquis Huo Wu suddenly leave Chang'an?" Zhao Yingqi: "I'm afraid he was sent by His Majesty."

"Order the palace guards, soldiers, and civilians to line up and not lose manners."

The entry of the Nanyue soldiers with swords in hand was still very shocking.

The people of Nanyue did not know whether they obeyed the orders out of respect for the Han envoys or out of fear of the Nanyue king's power and force.

At this time, the boat slowly approached the shore.

The newly built dock by An Guo Shao Ji is large enough to accommodate any Han-style ship.

After the boat stopped.

Horsemen rode in from the doorway.

The people at the scene were stunned.

The Han Dynasty ships of the past were already incredibly large.

And this one can actually run horses! Horses can actually be raised on it, and brought here after such a long journey.

The people of Nanyue still haven’t figured out how the Han Dynasty’s ships, which were so large and had no sails, were able to move.

They didn’t really understand the ship’s power system before.

Now this ship has lost even its sails, making it even more completely incomprehensible.

After the cavalry came out, they stood on both sides of the police circle.

After the infantry left the ship, they began to move forward.

Anyone can see that the people coming out now are veterans who can kill people as easily as killing chickens.

The murderous aura in them can be clearly seen through their eyes and the scars on their faces and bodies.

However, these people did not take the soldiers of Nanyue seriously at all. They just glanced at them and ignored them.

Most people looked at the King of Nanyue, Zhao Yingqi, as if they were just watching a fun event.

There was even a hint of provocation in his eyes.

There are too many people getting off this warship.

So when the infantry behind him filled the dock, Zhao Yingqi had already wanted to run away.

How can this boat carry so many people? ! !

Fortunately, the man finally stopped.

Although it can be seen with the naked eye that the soldiers on duty at the edge of the high-level deck have not moved, there should still be quite a few people on the ship, but at least it's not an infinite explosion of soldiers, right?

After everyone lined up, Huo Hai's car got off the boat.

Jiang Buyi, who was driving, looked at the people from Nanyue with curiosity.

After the car stopped, Huo Hai opened the curtain and walked out, turning back to say to the car: "Interesting."

After saying that, Huo Hai got out of the car and looked at the people outside.

Huo Hai even felt like he might have seen it wrong!
At the scene, Huo Hai recognized Zhao Yingqi at a glance. After all, Huo Hai had seen Zhao Yingqi's portrait.

There were many people with short hair around Zhao Yingqi.

These guys were shirtless.

Not only is he shirtless, but he also has tattoos on his body, especially on his arms!

Huo Hai still thought that he was not coming to the Nanyue Kingdom in 118 BC.

Instead, we went to Hongxing Street.

However, Huo Hai remembered the habit of the Yue people in the Nanyue Kingdom who cut their hair and tattooed their bodies, which he had read in Huainanzi.

I thought this haircut was just an ordinary haircut, but I didn’t expect it to be cut this short!

Huo Hai even saw the flat head!
But this flat head with a braid on the back gives me the feeling of seeing the internet celebrity from my previous life.

It also feels like I’m seeing the bronze man being worshipped at Sanxingdui.

It seems that there are indeed a small number of ancient Shu survivors in the local area, who have also mixed into the ancient Yue tribe.

Huo Hai looked into the distance again.

There were many Han people from the Nanyue Kingdom at the scene, wearing linen and cloth clothes.

There are even T-shirt versions!

South Vietnam is a little hotter now than in the past and modern times. Even in September, there are still people who can resist going shirtless, but most Han people cannot and will put on more clothes when it gets cold.

Judging from the clothes everyone is wearing at the event, the merchandise penetration is quite good.

Huo Hai looked for a long time and saw An Guo Shao Ji.

During the entire process, Huo Hai did not even look at the King of Nanyue, Zhao Yingqi.

When Huo Hai went to Chang'an, Zhao Yingqi had just left Chang'an. Huo Hai didn't know him, nor did he think about making money from him, and of course he had no interest in talking to him.

Unless he is willing to vote.

Therefore, Huo Hai looked directly at An Guo Shao Ji.

But people far away don’t know.

When Huo Hai's men walked over here.

Zhao Yingqi led his men forward.

Want to welcome.

The big man's guards glared at him and said, "Back off!"

"Stop!"

The guards of the King of Nanyue were scolded and were unable to react for a moment.

First, they were shocked by the iron-blooded spirit of these veteran soldiers. Second, they had never been scolded before, and they were stunned the first time.

Didn't react.

Huo Hai: "How dare you! Who told you to scare the people so casually?"

Jiang Buyi shouted: "My Lord, they are not ordinary people, they are the guards of the King of Nanyue."

Huo Hai: "Nanyue is not a vassal state of the Han Dynasty. Why are the guards of the King of Nanyue not ordinary people? Except for the officials and soldiers of the Central Kingdom, everyone else is ordinary people."

After these words were spoken, the King of Nanyue, Zhao Yingqi, finally could not hold it in any longer.

Aloud: "Han is Han, Yue is Yue, Yue recognizes Han as the emperor and calls him a vassal, but he is not a member of the Han. He can only be regarded as a follower."

The so-called "cong" means to follow.

"属" means belonging to or being a subordinate.

This is considered nitpicking in this era.

Until the Song Dynasty, the so-called vassal states and subordinate states were actually the same, except that the control of the vassal states in places where the central dynasty did not have enough control was slightly weaker.

After all, the emperor is far away.

Only after the Song Dynasty did vassal states and dependent states completely separate into two different things.

Huo Hai: "Oh? That's wrong."

"The name of Nanyue was given by the Han Dynasty. Can you still deny its affiliation?"

As soon as this was said, the people at the scene also started discussing it.

Many people do not understand culture and are illiterate.

But everyone also knows what the country name is.

If the name of Nanyue Kingdom was given by the Han Dynasty, then what else could it be but a vassal of the Han Dynasty?
But this is actually a bit far-fetched, after all, the name Xiongnu was also given by the Han people.

Not only did the Huns refuse to acknowledge the Han, they also wanted to retaliate against the Han.

After all, Xiongnu means a bitch with a bow and arrow.

However, the Nanyue Kingdom was slightly better, so the Nanyue Kingdom recognized it.

But Huo Hai changed the concept and directly said that the name was given by the Han people, and that the person was a subordinate of the Han people.

Zhao Yingqi was fooled: "Oh? When the Nanyue Kingdom was founded, the Han Dynasty had not yet been established. How can it be said that the name of the Nanyue Kingdom was given by the Han Dynasty?"

"What you said, Wu Hou, further proves that Nanyue is not a vassal state of the Han Dynasty. It is just a subordinate state."

Zhao Yingqi really didn't lie.

The Han Dynasty was established in 202 BC, and the Nanyue Kingdom was established in 204 BC.

Zhao Yingqi said in a clear voice: "The Han Dynasty has been in existence for eighty-four years, and the Nanyue Kingdom has been established for eighty-six years."

In fact, the Han Dynasty was established earlier than the Nanyue Kingdom.

It was during the Chu-Han Contention that Zhao Tuo took the opportunity to establish his own regime. After the Han Dynasty was founded and he was sure that the Qin Dynasty would not revive, Zhao Tuo proclaimed himself king.

So Zhao Yingqi was talking about the time when the Nanyue Kingdom was separatist. At that time, it was just called Nanyue and no one dared to add the word "country".

However, Huo Hai treated it as true.

Huo Hai specializes in playing word games like this, so how could he let Zhao Yingqi take the verbal advantage?
"Oh? That's not what I'm talking about. King of Nanyue, have you forgotten that the Yue in the original Nanyue Kingdom was the same as the axe, knife and fork. It was the Han Dynasty that believed that Nanyue was usurping the throne, so they gave it the character Yue and added the character Zou."

"Later, the Nanyue Kingdom acknowledged this and pledged vassalage to the Han Dynasty, acknowledging that the Nanyue Kingdom was a usurper."

Why did the Han Dynasty change the name of the Nanyue Kingdom?

Because the word "戉" cannot be used, because the Han Dynasty ultimately wanted to take back the Kingdom of Nanyue.

It was only when the Yue of the Nanyue Kingdom and the Yue of the Warring States Period were the same Yue that it was possible to take it back naturally.

So why did the Kingdom of Nanyue agree with this statement?

Because the royal family of Nanyue Kingdom had to maintain its rule on the one hand, and on the other hand, they had to express to their people that they were not barbarians but orthodox civilized people of the Warring States Period.

At the beginning, the State of Chu attacked other countries without any reason, and it argued that the State of Chu was a barbarian and could attack anyone it wanted. This issue is still remembered today.

If the King of Nanyue refused the word Yue, he would be remembered for a thousand or ten thousand years. That's called calling yourself a barbarian.

So, whether you admit it or not, this matter is a trap.

This is the horror of intellectuals.

And today, Huo Hai made a big fuss about this matter.

Zhao Yingqi was speechless after hearing this.

It’s not that the officials in the court of Nanyue Kingdom are uneducated, but everyone knows about this and cannot refute it.

If I refute it, wouldn't that be disrespecting my teacher and ancestors?
The people present discussed it and said, "So that's what happened."

"Then the name of Nanyue was really given by the Han Dynasty. In this case, don't we also recognize the Han Dynasty as our ancestor?"

In fact, in the past two years, the Nanyue Kingdom has been filled with the idea of ​​identifying themselves as Han people, and many people regard themselves as Han people who migrated to Yue.

Today, after hearing the historical origins, everyone no longer recognizes themselves as South Vietnamese.

I am clearly a Han Chinese living in South Vietnam.

"Yes, we are Han Chinese!"

"I see."

Looking around, Zhao Yingqi saw that the people were discussing something, and he suddenly had an ominous feeling.

When two countries go to war, winning or losing a battle on the battlefield doesn't mean much.

But you must not lose in a verbal battle.

If you lose, you’re done!
Zhao Yingqi's mind was spinning rapidly, and he finally said sternly, "That's true!"

All discussions on the scene were calmed down.

Everyone turned to look at Zhao Yingqi.

How is it possible that Zhao Yingqi actually admitted this?

The Kingdom of Nanyue has always acknowledged in documents that it is a part of the Han Dynasty, but in reality it is a country that governs itself on its own.

How can I admit it now in front of the people?

At this time, Zhao Yingqi was thinking about reversing the situation in one fell swoop.

Since we cannot argue in this direction, we will have to destroy before we build.

After Zhao Yingqi attracted everyone's attention, he said, "The Han people called us the Nanyue people, but we live in the land of Nanyue, so we are called the Nanyue people. It's just a coincidence that we accept this name."

"To the Han people, we are of course the Nanyue people."

Zhao Yingqi further strengthened the concept of Nanyue people.

They also changed the concept, from the Han people calling Nanyue the Nanyue Kingdom to the Han people calling them the Nanyue people.

This is fundamentally different.

Many people at the scene were also disappointed.

Yes, nowadays, people say they are Han Chinese, but the Han people themselves don’t acknowledge it.

Aren't we just trying to please someone else?

The South Vietnamese are the South Vietnamese, and I have been a South Vietnamese for a long time.

Since the Han Dynasty recognized the Kingdom of Nanyue, aren't we Nanyue people?
Huo Hai smiled: "Oh? That's not the case. King of Nanyue, don't get the wrong idea."

"They are people living in Nanyue, but they are not Nanyue people. They are still Han people, subjects of the Han Dynasty. Nanyue is a vassal state of the Han Dynasty. They live in a vassal state of the Han Dynasty, but they are still Han people."

"As for the local ancient Yue people, they are not the Nanyue people, but the ancient Yue people."

The name of the ancient Yue people was originally a far-fetched one by the Yue people themselves. Now, once they accept this name, they acknowledge the Yue Kingdom of the Warring States Period as their ancestor, and they become part of the princes ruled by the emperor of the Central Plains.

Zhao Yingqi: "Oh? If you live in Nanyue, then what are you if not a Nanyue person? If you live in Panyu, then you are a Panyu person. If you live in Guilin, then you are a Guilin person. Is there any other way to say it?"

This is another substitution of concepts, equating geographical concepts with population labels.

Huo Hai smiled and said, "People who live in Chang'an are Chang'an people, but they are also Han people. People who live in Kuaiji are Kuaiji people, but they are even more Han people."

"People living in Nanyue are also Han Chinese."

Zhao Yingqi: "They are not a country!"

Zhao Yingqi grasped the key point.

You must know that within the territory of the Han Dynasty, people from Lu are people from Lu, and people from Zhao are people from Zhao, and everyone agrees with this statement.

According to this logic, the people of South Vietnam are truly the people of South Vietnam.

This issue must be clarified.

Because the logic is very simple, the statement "both Han Chinese and Nanyue Chinese" is easy to understand for those who are well-educated and knowledgeable.

But it is difficult for those who have not read the book to understand.

How do they identify themselves?

Am I a Han Chinese or a Nanyue Chinese?
Since they are Han people, why is the Han Dynasty sending envoys to us now? Why does it feel wrong?
As long as the concept of Nanyue people is recognized, the Nanyue Kingdom will gradually transform from a geographical group concept to a cultural group concept.

It's just like, the Mid-Autumn Festival was changed to 'Taiwan Autumn Festival' to make us laugh, but they insisted on changing it.

This cultural separation has lasted for almost a hundred years, and after a hundred years, there is no way to reverse it.

Because any ambitious person can find an entire generation of people as counterexamples to incite those who are ignorant, making it impossible for people to be united.

At this time, Huo Hai said: "Oh? I understand what the King of Nanyue means. For example, we are all Han people."

"But, as a Chang'an native, how should I address you who are from the Nanyue Kingdom? I can't call you a Han Chinese, right? That's how outsiders address people outside the Han Dynasty."

"do you mean this?"

Seeing that Huo Hai did not quickly defend himself, Zhao Yingqi smiled and said, "Of course."

For people of this era, the concepts of geography and culture themselves are not understood by anyone.

How to use debate skills to distinguish these two concepts?

Totally impossible.

Zhao Yingqi felt that Huo Hai had no way of telling the difference.

But is there really nothing Huo Hai can do?
Huo Hai waved back.

Someone lowered a large sail from the boat.

The word "粤" is written on the flag.

Huo Hai: "The people present here are people who live in Nanyue, but within the Han Dynasty, they are not called Yue people, but Yue people, this Yue."

The people present looked at each other.

People who can’t read only know that this Yue is different from that Yue.

But what is different is not clear.

Huo Hai said loudly: "The Yue in Nanyue is the Yue that usurped the throne. At that time, the king of Nanyue was perverse and used the emperor's carriage and ceremonial guards without authorization. The emperor of the Han Dynasty was kind-hearted and did not pursue the matter. However, he used the name of Nanyue to shame everyone and let everyone remember that the Zhao family of Nanyue once usurped the throne."

"In Chang'an, the current emperor calls the people of Nanyue the Yue people. Yue and Yue were the same characters in the Warring States Period, and both represent the region of Yue."

"However, unlike the word Yue in the character Zou, which has the meaning of usurping the throne, this Yue means thick."

"You know, the people of Chang'an are jealous when they hear that Your Majesty calls us Cantonese!"

"Because the Cantonese people are people who have received great favors from the Emperor! Your Majesty should remind yourself all the time to remember to treat the Cantonese people well! And remind others that the Cantonese people have received the greatest favors from the Han Dynasty! Your Majesty treats the Cantonese people well!"

Huo Hai's voice shocked everyone present.

Your Majesty, who is thousands of miles away, actually still cares about a small person like me?

Calling us people who are blessed by the Emperor means we should be treated kindly? !
Identity, cultural identity, geographical identity.

The solution was just one Cantonese word.

Yue, in the Warring States Period, was the same character as Yue, 戉 and 钺, so the State of Yue could also be called the State of Yue.

In this case, the Kingdom of Nanyue can also be called Yue.

The Cantonese are naturally the same as the Yue people of the past.

But the difference is that Cantonese people now have the meaning of "remember to treat people well", doesn't this sound much better than "people who disobey the rules and cross the line"?
If you can be called a pretty boy, who would want to be called a hairy guy? Isn't that crazy?!

Therefore, for those who do not understand the characters, the conversation between Huo Hai and Zhao Yingqi just now became:
[Nanyue King Zhao Yingqi: "Call me to hold my hair!"

Huo Hai, Marquis of Han Wu: "Handsome boy!"

King Zhao Yingqi of Nanyue: "Call me a mouthful of hair!"

Han Wuhou Huo Hai: "Handsome boy!!!"】

Zhao Yingqi, are you sick?!
At this moment, Zhao Yingqi suddenly realized that he had been plotted against.

To be precise, the name of the country Nanyue was a calculation made by the Han people decades ago.

This bomb will continue to explode.

Even if another two thousand years pass, it will still explode!
Who wants to be a Yue person when you can be a Cantonese? Isn't that cheap?
Even if someone raises the banner of Yue and keeps eyeing this land.

The common people in this land would also think, "Who the hell am I? Who are you? Why would I join you? A royal relative joining the Beggars' Sect? Are you crazy?"

Zhao Yingqi's face darkened. He didn't know how to explain himself, nor did he dare to do anything excessive. He just said loudly: "Marquis Wu, why don't we go to the palace to discuss it in detail? Does His Majesty have any order? Let's go to the palace to discuss it in detail."

Huo Hai waved his hand: "I don't have any orders."

"If your majesty asks me to come to the Kingdom of Nanyue on official business, I won't come."

"I came here in my own capacity to enjoy the scenery, meet the Cantonese people, and eat Cantonese food. I like this place very much. I have heard that this place is the most hardworking in the southern part of the Han Dynasty, with rich products. Even the people of Chang'an like many things here. I have wanted to come and see it for a long time."

"Oh, maybe you, King of Nanyue, misunderstood me. After Princess Wei Chang and I got married, we have been traveling. I call this a honeymoon. Maybe our honeymoon lasted too long. It almost became a round-the-world trip. It has been nine months already."

Many Cantonese people found it very useful when Huo Hai spoke.

The big shot from Chang'an, the boss of Huo's, said that he likes Cantonese, Cantonese people and Cantonese cuisine!

It feels like the salted fish I ate at noon was covered with gold foil.

This is so satisfying!
Huo Hai! He is the boss of Huo's. How many people are not working for Huo's now?

Although everyone is working for the Han envoys, the industries developed by the Han envoys here do not actually belong to the Huo family, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty is not here now, but Wu Hou is here.

Who can predict the future? Maybe Your Majesty will come back to Guangdong for tourism.

So when will Your Majesty marry his wife and go on his honeymoon?

But turning around, the Cantonese people were very excited.

Princess Wei Chang is here?

She is the eldest daughter of His Majesty the Han Dynasty, a favored daughter of heaven!
The carriage windows were open.

Princess Wei Chang waved to everyone on the dock.

At this moment, everyone present was impressed.

The daughter of heaven, came to the dock in a remote countryside and waved to us?
People all love beautiful things.

With Princess Wei Chang's appearance, status, and smile, her appeal is a hundred times more powerful than the waving of Princess Sissi in Roman Holiday played by Audrey Hepburn.

Because Hepburn is fake, and Princess Wei Chang is real.

Zhao Yingqi's eyes went dark.

The hearts of the people of Nanyue have long been with the Han Dynasty.

The people of Nanyue also worked for the Han Dynasty.

The name of the Nanyue Kingdom became that of the Han Dynasty.

Everything in Nanyue belongs to the Han Dynasty.

Now, except for the army of Nanyue, everything else in his hands belongs to the Han Dynasty.

Am I really still the king of Nanyue?

At the scene, Huo Hai put his hands behind his back and looked at Zhao Yingqi.

Does Zhao Yingqi dare to take action?
If you dare, all factories and shops will stop working in one day.

Ten days later.

The angry Cantonese people would catch all of the Zhao family's earthworms and chop them vertically.

Don’t you dare?
If you don’t dare, then wait a little longer and take it slow.

If emotions cannot explode wildly and violently, then let them evolve quietly and gently.

Huo Hai was too familiar with the process of the demise of the Big Bear Country.

Today, one third of Nanyue’s assets are in the hands of the Han Dynasty.

not enough.
