"I am the niece of King Jinpyeong of Silla and the queen's sister, not some Goguryeo thief..."
The girl's extremely serious tone expressed her anger, because she had heard the name Goguryeo many times from the two Sui people in front of her...
The county magistrate and the county lieutenant were also very annoyed. They talked for a long time and couldn't figure out the origins of these people. They discussed in private and planned to send the people to the county town and let the prefect handle it personally.
After all, foreign envoys still have to receive some preferential treatment. They, a small Guanyang County, cannot bear the responsibility if an accident occurs.
The chief clerk of the county was smarter and sent pen and paper at the right time. He heard that the people in Goguryeo still used this language and couldn't understand what they said, so they must be able to write, right?
This time I took the right approach.
Regardless of whether they are the Goguryeo people or the tribes of Silla and Baekje, the nobles all use Chinese characters, but they have invented some pronunciations of their own, confusing them as if they are local dialects in the Central Plains, and no one can understand them.
say what.
The girl was overjoyed and skillfully used the writing brush. As a core member of the Silla Jin clan, there was no problem with writing. Starting from the Shang and Zhou dynasties, Chinese characters had actually been introduced to the peninsula.
Since the Han and Jin Dynasties, some books from the Central Plains have also been circulated among the Silla nobles.
In fact, today, there is almost no civilization created by the peninsula. From writing to language to clothing, etiquette, officialdom, poetry, etc., most of them are copied from the Central Plains dynasty, and there is nothing of their own to show off.
.
This is true for Silla, and so is Baekje, not to mention Goguryeo. If Silla and Baekje are still indigenous people on the peninsula, then Goguryeo is the descendant of the Buyeo people.
The characters of the Silla people are also mixed with some small seal characters, and the writing tends to be cumbersome. You can see the shadow of the Qin and Han Dynasties in it.
But with text as a medium, communication has finally become much smoother.
………………
The county seat of Ye County and the prefect's mansion.
Yu Wenshiji sat in the main hall, looking at the "bandits" in front of him with a headache.
Don't drive Miao Haichao, a native of Xiapi, who was one of the bandit leaders in Shandong at that time. He was later conquered by Du Fuwei and has been following Du Fuwei in his campaigns in the north and south.
After Du Fuwei surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, Miao Haichao was stationed at Hailing and also surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. When Fugong Tuo and other old people dispersed one after another, Miao Haichao became frightened and invited himself back to his hometown to farm.
He preserved himself amidst the political turmoil.
He turned around and was entrusted with the post of Donglai County, which was considered a return to his hometown in glory. This was relatively rare in the war and chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty.
At that time, Shandong was turbulent and rebels were everywhere. There were many smarter people than Miao Haichao, and there were also many people who were braver, more prestigious, and more talented than him. However, most people did not end up well, but Miao Haichao was inconspicuous.
Got rich and noble.
It can be seen that things in the world are unpredictable, and people's fate is really difficult to predict.
The others are not bad either.
Wang Xiongdan, the commander-in-chief of the county, was Du Fuwei's adopted son. After he surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, he served as Sima of Lingzhou and joined the army. He made many military exploits in the northwest campaign to exterminate the remnants of Liang's capital. Moreover, this man was extremely famous in Jiangzuo, and he worked closely with Du Fu.
Fu Wei's other adopted son Kan Ling was called a general or a big general by the people of Jiangzuo.
Years ago, Wang Xiongdan resigned from the post of Sima of Lingzhou Governor's Office and was transferred to the post of Lieutenant of Donglai County, almost immediately after Yu Wenshiji took office.
There is another person who is young, has grown up, and has a strong aura that cannot be concealed. That is Su Dingfang, a Sima from Donglai County who joined the army.
He was from Hebei and served Dou Jiande together with his adoptive father Gao Junya. When the Tang army destroyed Xia at the beginning of last year, he and his adoptive father Gao Junya surrendered to the Tang Dynasty.
I also came to Donglai to take up a post at the end of last year. I was recommended by the Zuoyuwei Mansion, and I don’t know who passed through it.
People from Hebei and Shandong have always been one family, and arriving here was like going home. Soon they became brothers with Miao Haichao, Wang Xiongdan and others.
In addition to these few people, there was actually a woman in the hall. She was as big and round as a man, but she didn't have a beard.
Everyone calls her Ximen, and her name, Yuwenshi, is unknown to this day.
This woman is also Du Fuwei's old subordinate. Her husband Ximen Junyi is a powerful general under Du Fuwei. She is also one of the remnants of the Northern Qi Dynasty and a descendant of the Ximen family in Qi County, Shandong.
Following Du Fuwei and raising the flag of righteousness, the couple fought in the north and south over the years, killing people without calculation.
When Du Fuwei was chased by Li Zitong, everyone was exhausted. Only Ximen still had the strength to escape, carrying the injured Du Fuwei on his back, and it was Du Fuwei who saved his life.
Her husband Ximen Junyi died in battle in Danyang. She later took charge of some naval forces and was now sent to Donglai. The court's intention was self-evident, and it fell to her to rebuild the Donglai navy and docks.
Her position is not small. She is a doctor in the Ministry of Industry. She can also compete with others for the position of Donglai Navy Commander in the future. As a woman, she has reached such a position. It is obvious that she was influenced by King Wu.
Du Fuwei's strong recommendation.
But don't underestimate this woman. Wang Xiongdan and others would call her "sister-in-law" when they saw her. Even Miao Haichao, who was in his forties or fifties, was not immune.
Because of her husband, she still had some roots in Qijun next door. Within a year of coming to Donglai, she had recognized several relatives from Qijun, and someone had adopted two children into her lap.
Nowadays, in the land of Shandong, any kind of moth can appear, but there are not many of them.
……………………
Yu Wenshiji looked at these crooked melons and cracked dates in the hall, needless to mention the entanglement in his heart.
A servant came to serve as an official in a remote place in Donglai in the blink of an eye. It was not comfortable to begin with, and there were so many people under his seat. You can tell how unlucky it was. Every time they got together to talk, he thought he was here.
Where's the bandit's lair?
"The prefect called us here, do you have something to say? I'm busy over there. I've gone to the beach several times and selected some good places. I'll take the prefect brothers to have a look another day.
The water draft of sea-going ships is deep, so it is really not easy to find a suitable place to build a dock. There must be no rocks, and the water must be deep, otherwise the ship cannot reach the shore. The surrounding area must be more open, grab... well, get rich.
The goods have to be transported ashore, so roads have to be built.
The prefect brother is pressing hard, so we have to send more manpower. Now there are fewer people with work on hand, and the prefect brother still needs to say hello to the court.
Building docks, building ships... is not easy, and I can't read either. Brother Prefect's handwriting is really good. Why don't I ask you to write it? I heard that I can send messages to Chang'an, right?"
Ximen chattered angrily, which made Yu Wenshi and the corner of his mouth twitch. Is it appropriate for you to speak like a brother of a prefect?
