First Class Concubine

Chapter 412
The vast sea is an archipelago, the central island is the capital of the country, and the scattered islands are just like the cities and counties of the Han Dynasty.The capital of the country is the most prosperous, and the more you go to the edge, the more backward and poor you are.Of course, places with special production or more fertile land will be more prosperous.Wealth means prosperity.

In their place, all islands are named after something.The person who manages an island is the island owner, and the island owner has officials at various levels.There are naturally settlements on the island, there are cities and towns, but unlike the big man, the city gates are always opened and closed at regular intervals.Here, many towns have no gates or even walls.And in the city, the gates of the city were never closed during non-wartime.

Sent to Wuyou, several princes agreed tacitly, and sent people who had been to Hanhai.Regarding the situation here, although I don't say everything, I say it clearly.

When they reached the vast sea, they anchored off an island called Huangming Island.

Huangming Island is in the Hanhai Kingdom, and it is just one of the most marginalized islands.It was set up as a trading pier for Dahan, but at this time, there were no ships berthing.Even near the pier, there is only one place that looks like a post house.A little farther away is a small fishing village, which is more lively than this pier.

The island is not really prosperous.

And because they came in a hurry this time, and because something happened, they acted more low-key.Avoid the peak hours of the day that are not considered peak hours.Only two people were sent down to do some sorting, and the others didn't leave the boat until night came.

The two countries are in business, and there are big Han people on Huangming Island.When I landed, I was naturally greeted by someone.

"You must be extremely careful when you go here. Your own safety is the most important thing. If necessary, send a signal." As soon as Wuyou landed, he had to go to Central Island overnight.Before leaving, Qijing entrusted her with all kinds of entrustments, and she was so worried that she wished she could go with her.

But Wuyou was unwilling and insisted on acting on his own.

Qijing was worried, but did not stop her.

From now on, she can no longer treat her like a little girl.

"Mother, don't worry, Wuyou knows."

"Okay, okay, she has enough people with her, and we will follow." Le Chen took Qijing into his arms, gave Wuyou a wink, and told her to leave quickly.

Wuyou stuck out her tongue at him, then hurriedly plunged into the night.

Living on the island, the biggest feature is probably the sound of the waves day and night.

For people with sensitive five senses, the sound of the waves disturbs people all the time, just like someone talking in their ears all the time.

Therefore, it is only natural that he could not sleep all night.

Qijing couldn't help sighing again: "I don't know if Wuyou can get used to life here."

Le Chen was also worried, he was too noisy this night.Do you have to seal the acupuncture points on your ears every night when you sleep?Of course not, it would be too much of a mistake to block the hearing.

"I'll get used to it." Le Chen said, after thinking about it, he added: "If you're not used to it, let's go back." Not only was there the sound of waves, but it was also damp and salty from the wind.

His princess is so charming and pampered, and he is reluctant to let her live in this kind of kitchen-like environment, even for the rest of her life.

"Let's take a look again."

Qijing is concerned about chaos, because this is the seaside, so it is so serious.Go a little further in and you'll be fine.And Wuyou will live on Central Island in the future, so that island is naturally not a small island like Huangming.She wants to see the sea at that time, but I'm afraid it will take some time.

Early the next morning, Qi Jing followed Le Chen around the island wearing a veiled hat.In fact, there is nothing to see, not to mention the festivals and the city, this place is remote, and it is basically self-sufficient.And what I saw was just the lives of those common people.Fishermen are not like that. The men go out to sea to fish, while the women stay at home weaving and drying nets and taking care of their children.People all over the world are the same...

So, before noon, I lost interest and prepared to chase Wuyou away.

Even if she is left alone, they will always escort her.

However, if you want to travel again when you arrive on the island, there is a difficulty.That is, means of transportation.

The two carriages are both in the space of Seven Views.Even the horses that pull the carts were brought over by boat.However, the road here is really bad.

Moreover, Huangming Island is not only small, but also very mountainous.Without too high technology, even the roads are not easy to repair.

They had to cross the island, and a carriage would not work at all.

"Those merchants come and go, how are the goods handled?"

"Most people and merchants directly send goods to the city of Huangming Island. There are also merchants in Hanhai Kingdom. They transport the special products of Hanhai to Huangming Island, and then exchange with the merchants of Dahan. They just want to go to other islands. Going up, mostly lightly. You can ride on horseback or walk..."

"The Queen and the others are coming and going, what should I do?"

"I'm afraid they have other paths to take. And if they really take our path, it shouldn't be difficult to go around by sea."

It's just a waste of time and effort.

Qijing also considered the possibility of going around the island, but gave up after thinking about it.Although Huangming Island is small, it is only in relative terms.An island capable of inhabiting people and developing a city is not small by any means.

They are in a hurry to set off in order to protect Wuyou in secret, they are greedy for pleasure, and they are prone to mistakes.And... Isn't the fun of riding a horse in the rivers and lakes just to experience it yourself?Sitting in a carriage all day, what can you feel?
"Let's ride horses, it's fun too."

The only thing Lechen was reluctant to part with was, "It's just a person who lives in the wind and sleeps in the open, thank you for your hard work." I don't know if her skin can stand the wind and sun.

The road that ordinary people can walk, Qijing can naturally walk.Even if she has been pampered and pampered for so many years, and she is greedy for enjoyment, it does not mean that she has forgotten herself.Forget about who you really are.

A group of people set off without a carriage, but they also took the attendants with them.There are six men and women each, taking care of all their daily life.

When I went out, I realized that even a horse is not easy to walk.

The roads on the island are really not very good, and the Hanhai Kingdom probably is not keen on doing business with the big Han, and it is more likely that they will block it intentionally or unintentionally from various aspects.So this road is really bad.It's not as good as where they stayed before, in a small fishing village by the sea.

It seemed that someone had made some adjustments, but judging by the appearance, it was probably because there were too many people leaving.There are no potholes, and there are no boulders blocking the way.But after a long time, it is inevitable that weeds will become overgrown and covered with litter.

"I hope the central island is not like this."

The horse couldn't run, so it slowed down a lot.When they arrived at Huangming City, it was already late at night.

The gate of the city was not closed, but the interrogation was tighter.The group of them had been prepared for a long time, entered the city steadily, and found an inn to stay.

Before entering the city, I told everyone: I will change my words in the future, just call me master and madam.

Taishanghuang, empress dowager, or your majesty, empress, are either regarded as crazy; or they are estimated to be regarded as traitors.

However, after entering the city, they discovered a bigger problem than not being able to use a carriage.That is - the language barrier.

This is also their negligence.In fact, those people who came to Hanhai from Hanhai were all specially selected by the queen and learned specially.Even the waiter on the boat spoke a particularly fluent Chinese.

As for the people who went to Hanhai from the big man, no one mentioned the language problem.

It is conceivable that those people in the past must have brought a translator.For those who are more powerful, just learn more foreign languages.There is no shortage of talented people in this world.This kind of problem is too small and too easy to solve.

And having said that, the language barrier is also common sense.Even in the territory of Dahan, because of the different accents, sometimes it sounds like listening to heavenly scriptures.What about different countries?
But it was so common sense that they ignored it.

But this time, the people who stayed by their side were all people who had never been to Hanhai.When we were in a small seaside town, someone arranged for a few people familiar with Hanhai to follow, but Qijing and Lechen refused.

They think in a simple way, and it's fun to have the unknown.Although he came here for Wuyou, Ke Lechen didn't take Wuyou's matter seriously.Their strength is strong enough, and they have the heart of defeating ten meetings with one force.Therefore, he basically regarded this trip as a trip to cultivate his relationship with Qijing.

If it weren't for the need for someone to serve Qijing, he wouldn't even take the people who followed him with him.

Sitting in the inn, Qi Jing and Le Chen looked at each other, and they frowned together: "What should I do?" Thanks to the clever shop assistant, he entertained many big businessmen, so that he learned a half-tune, barely able to Collusion.But it is conceivable that if you leave Huangming Island and go further in, there will be fewer and fewer people who can speak the Chinese language.

Find someone to follow?Both of them are proud, they refused before, and now they are unwilling to compromise.

"Well, stay here for two days first." Le Chen immediately made a decision.As for the language, let's learn it together.He is surrounded by smart people, and two days are enough to learn some daily things.

A group of people returned to the room after dinner, Le Chen looked disgusted again. "The quilt is full of fishy smell of the sea." But there is really no way. "Looks like I won't be able to sleep well tonight."

Productivity is everything.

As the saying goes, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the sea to eat the sea.The island is small, but there are many mountains, so there is no fertile land on the island.Although there are many mountains, there is no vegetation.Everywhere you look, there are bluestones and loess, no forest vegetation, which means that there are not many wild beasts and prey, and there is no special output.Therefore, most of the food comes from the sea.Life basically depends on fishing and hunting, and productivity is extremely backward...

In this place, it is either air-dried or salted, and there are seafood for three meals a day, and it is a place where every family distributes it. It is abnormal if there is no smell.

Can understand, totally understand.But...the ones who live here now are the emperor and the empress!There are dozens of types of incense, not to mention the fishy smell of the sea, but let her choose, if there is any smell mixed in, she will frown.How can they adapt to such an environment when they are used to such a life?
Le Chen frowned, he could pinch the mosquito to death.

You can't talk about mosquitoes. When you talk about mosquitoes, this is the second biggest pain here.

A lot, very poisonous.Hanging a mosquito net, it can't be blocked at all.And... the buzzing of mosquitoes is no different from thunder to them.

"Alas!" Qijing sighed no less than thirty times that night. "We can't stand it, let alone worry-free?"
