Chapter 1531 Yu Dian persists
In the capital of Yudian Kingdom, Luo Zhang's arrival did not attract anyone's attention. There were many people coming and going, and there was no need to issue documents here. They only collected an entry tax when entering the city, and the money was not much. Like Luo Zhang,
The camel team only needs one silver coin per person.
That's right, it's silver coins, and Yu Dianguo is the one who collects silver coins.
Luo Zhang didn't have any silver coins, but he did have silver. He threw a fifty-tael piece of silver to the guard at the gate. The guard was very happy because Luo Zhang said he would give him a drink with the extra money.
Let alone fifty taels, a dozen or twenty taels would be enough for people like Luo Zhang.
Giving so much more was not because Luo Zhang had money, but because it was to prepare him for the next step of inquiring about information.
After taking Luo Zhang's money, the guard was naturally cheerful and polite to Luo Zhang. Luo Zhang pretended that he was a merchant from the Tang Dynasty and it was his first time to do business here.
The guard was very talkative and guided Luo Zhang to the best restaurant in the city, Wanghan Tower. It was a restaurant opened by their royal family, and the food, drinks and accommodation were on the top floor.
When Luo Zhang heard this name, his eyes lit up. Wanghan Tower? It was opened by the royal family? What does this mean? Looking at the Han Dynasty from afar?
It's a pity that the big man has ceased to exist for many years. What a bastard!
Although he sneered at the trick in his heart, Luo Zhang still followed the guard's instructions and moved in here.
Not to mention, the Wanghan Tower is really good. It has the style of the Western Regions and combines Han culture in it. It can be said to be a combination of Chinese and Western styles.
Luo Zhang and others were even more satisfied with the food there, many of which can be found in Chang'an and are more authentic.
This proves from the side that Yu Dian's royal family is indeed an orphan of the Han Dynasty, an orphan who has been forgotten for decades.
Sitting in the lobby of the restaurant, eating and listening to the chatter from north to south, Luo Zhang gained a lot.
The reason why Yu Dian looks like all the people are in arms is because the Yu Dian dynasty has major and minor wars with the Western Turks every year.
That's right, it's war.
Although the Yu Dian dynasty was small, it was the only dynasty among the Eighteen Kingdoms that fought against the Western Turks.
This also made the soldiers of the Yu Dian Dynasty have an evil spirit, which is the reason why they have been in battle for a long time.
But now it's better, the Western Turks have been destroyed, and the Yu Dian Dynasty no longer has to fight the Western Turks.
Nowadays, the Western Turks are under the control of the Han people. There was a lot of discussion in the hall, and the merchants coming and going were all smiling.
What businessmen like most is a stable environment. War means greater risks to them, and war will often destroy everything they have.
The merchants gathered in the restaurant spoke mostly Chinese, which puzzled Luo Zhang.
After asking around, I learned that the royal family here speaks Chinese. Don’t you know how to speak Chinese when dealing with them?
Through this, Luo Zhang also learned that the royal family's surname was really Yuchi, which proved that the wild history was not fabricated and had some basis.
Luo Zhang did not rashly contact the Yu Dian royal family. After all, they had been separated from the Han Dynasty for so many years. Although they had been at war with the Western Turks, who knew if they had other ideas.
It would be fine if he surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, but what should he do if he didn't surrender?
Luo Zhang admired such a Han army for resisting the Turks from the bottom of his heart. How could anyone else do such a thing? Wouldn't it be nice to eat and drink by yourself and be your own king?
As for using your head to hit a stone with an egg?
Being able to get this information is enough for Luo Zhang's trip. When Luo Zhang's five cities in Anxi are built and the Great Food Kingdom really launches an attack on the Tang Dynasty, then people will be sent here to discuss it in detail. Compared with
The results will be better.
After getting the answer he was satisfied with, Luo Zhang naturally drank happily and ate good wine and delicious food.
I have been traveling all these days, and it was not until today that I really had a big meal. There is no such delicious food in Qiuci.
At the dinner table, everyone was discussing where to go next. After all, when we arrived at Yudian, we had more choices.
Sun Simiao and the others meant to pass through the Yanqi and Ruoqiang countries to visit the land where the coalition forces were located.
And what Luo Zhang meant was to go to Loulan, Jingjue Country, and finally Dashi, not to the land of the coalition forces.
This may be a bit risky, but it will give you a more realistic understanding of the country of Dashi.
In this regard, everyone unanimously agreed. After all, going to Dashi is more exciting than going to the land of the coalition!
