This is the famous "Shanhai County" in the Tang Dynasty
As the name suggests, there are mountains and seas.
The county town is in the heart of the mountain, and the sea is outside the mountain.
So most of the entire coastline is deserted.
There are only a few small piers here and there.
It was also established in a nearby fishing village.
However, one of the docks has become popular due to the recent turmoil in the seven southern countries.
It even attracted many dignitaries from the county and city.
Because the merchant ships coming from the Seven Kingdoms all carried a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry, but these things were always troublesome, and they would cause even more trouble when they arrived in an unfamiliar place like the Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, as soon as the merchant ship arrives at the shore, some treasures that are inconvenient to carry will be sold to the Tang Dynasty dignitaries at low prices. The other party will also be responsible for their safety and bring everyone on the merchant ship to the county.
It can also be regarded as a kind of black-box transaction.
The trading place is also a pick-up place, right next to the pier.
Countless treasures were moved from the merchant ships, and most of them were sold at low prices. Except for the ready-made gold and silver that could be used, the rest were sold to the rich and powerful in the county and city, and even the ships were sold.
There were also some businessmen who sold their maids to the powerful.
Anyway, after exchanging the banknotes from Datang, I can still buy some maids locally.
Usually this kind of business is only done by those dandy boys.
Near the south side of the dock is a military town. After the transaction, officers and soldiers personally escorted these subjugated ministers who claimed to be envoys of the Southern Kingdom.
One-stop transactions are very common, but there are not many such transactions with astonishing profits.
As soon as a merchant ship docks, a group of people will come up to discuss business.
At this time, beside the dock, a group of guys were busy unloading various boxes from a merchant ship.
Naturally, it contains some treasures that are inconvenient to carry.
Such as calligraphy and painting, antiques, antiques, tea, silk.
In fact, the Tang Dynasty did not lack this kind of thing at all, it was just for an advantage.
Even if you buy it, you can resell it.
"Little girl, please give way!"
In the midst of the lively queue, there was also a young girl wearing linen.
She didn't mind the smell of sweat on the porters' bodies either. She kept standing on the deck of the pier, looking at the calm sea, as if she was waiting for someone.
When others spoke to her, they didn't answer, they just bowed silently.
Her appearance was very sudden in the crowd.
But no one thought it was strange, because she had been at this pier for three years, standing on the deck of the pier almost every day, her eyes always looking at the sea.
So everyone nearby knows her.
Even when these people passed by, they would joke:
"Azi, I'm still waiting for your little husband-in-law. I advise you not to wait any longer. That boy must have found another girl in Tai'an City. You'd better go home quickly!"
"Go, go, what do you know? This is called unrequited love!"
You asked the porters and teased them with questions.
The young girl named Azi didn't care at all and didn't refute.
But deep down in her heart, she was convinced that that person would definitely come back.
And he will marry her!
So she doesn't care what others say.
Otherwise, we wouldn’t have waited three years.
In other people's eyes, she is stupid.
But no one knew how kind that man was to her.
So she is willing to wait!
Even if the sea is dry and the rocks are in ruins!
Buzz!
At this moment, a huge horn sound came from the sea.
That was coming from the merchant ship that was about to dock.
Signaling to approach the pier.
After the horn sounded, the dock side naturally responded.
I saw the guy on the watchtower shouting down below: "Here comes the big deal. It's a treasure ship from the Seven Southern Kingdoms. It's at least seventy feet long. My God, there are definitely big people on this ship!"
This shout directly attracted the dignitaries and dandies in Shanhai County.
One of them looked at the sea with his head raised and saw the huge treasure ship.
Everyone was gearing up excitedly, preparing to negotiate a big deal after the ship docked.
This is all money!
After a while, the ship docked. Unfortunately, the deck of the treasure ship was too high, so only a ladder could be lowered.
Everyone below is looking forward to it.
But what was waiting for him was an old man in ragged clothes, who looked worse than a beggar on the roadside.
The boatman was confused when he came down. He was from the Southern Seven Kingdoms and had never been to the Tang Dynasty. He thought the Tang people were very hospitable, which made him a little embarrassed. He raised his head and shouted to the boat: "Helmsman, come down, these people
No harm done!”
"I can see it!"
A person on the deck looked down with his head raised, and it was the ear following Jian Wushuang.
He glanced at the people on the pier, turned around and said to Jian Wushuang flatteringly: "Master, how about we get off here? I don't think these people have any evil intentions, but they seem to be very hospitable!"
"Go down and have a look!"
Jian Wushuang waved his hand and motioned for the one-eared person to go down first.
Then he looked at Xiang Yang and Jiang Shang behind him.
The three of them have been in seclusion.
Now they have reached innate Dzogchen.
Jiang Shang, in particular, is just a little short of being able to condense the golden elixir.
This is all because of his sincere teaching.
In her last life, her master was Hui Qing, but this time it was Jian Wushuang's turn to teach.
If Jiang Shang regains his memory and becomes Jiang Shang in the future, I don’t know what he will think.
After going down one ear, I talked with some local people and then returned to the deck to report:
"Master, please find out clearly. This is the Shanhai County of the Tang Dynasty. It is far away from Tai'an City!"
Jian Wushuang said calmly: "Then let's repair it here for a few days first!"
Before coming, he had figured out the map of Datang.
Shanhai County is still far away from Tai'an City in the Tang Dynasty, at least thousands of miles away.
If they take the land route, it will probably take more than a month, and the fatigue of traveling and traveling will seriously affect their cultivation.
It is very convenient to take the sea route. Then you only need to change to a smaller merchant ship and follow the canal into the inland.
So Jian Wushuang decided to stop a few people there and inquire about the Tang Dynasty.
He knew very little about this peak dynasty.
I only know that there are thirty-six counties in the north and south.
Humanities prosper.
The surrounding secular dynasties highly respected the Tang Dynasty.
I don’t know about the rest, especially about the immortal cultivators.
Everyone got off the boat together, and those merchants who came to do business left angrily after knowing that there was no treasure on board.
Among them, a very dandy boy was eyeing the business of this treasure ship.
Such huge treasure ships were rare even in the Tang Dynasty.
Although Shanhai County is close to the sea, it is located in a remote place, and no one has the ability to build such a large treasure ship. Now that they saw this somewhat damaged treasure ship, they all wanted to buy it from Jian Wushuang.
Although Jian Wushuang had this intention, he was not in a hurry to take action. He let Yi Er send those people away and walked towards the town next to the dock.
There are guys on board to look after you, so there's nothing to worry about.
