After a while, the passengers, watermen, and boatmen on the deck were divided into several groups according to the identity certificates they presented. Even some passengers who were seasick or sick during the journey were helped out and received face-to-face visits.
Only the students and scholars were treated the most favorably.
There was almost no search, so he chatted a few words with the elders among them, and the others glanced at him and passed by. Secondly, the monks and Taoists who were on board the ship simply asked a few questions;
, otherwise there are businessmen and ordinary people who speak with some obscure Fujian accents;
On the contrary, the members of the juggling team were quite strict. Not only were they searched one by one, but they also had all their props and household items taken out and searched carefully again and again. Finally, they gave a few words that seemed to be a warning. As for Jiang
Well, he asked the people around him to show his identity card.
The sergeants and soldiers on the ship never came close to the corner where he was. Because that was one of the cover legs prepared in advance. The robber catching Sima from the east jurisdiction of Yangzhou Prefecture was officially awarded to the Guangling Express Team.
Those who carry tokens are not counted as those colleagues who are patrolling the sea.
"Escaped slaves? How can that be..." The thick and dark bow of the boat couldn't help but said in surprise: "Please tell me that some vassal slaves escaped on the island. I just want to ask for pardon on the shore, but can I go to the barbarians?"
The official ship of the state! How come there are so many slaves from the middle of the country who have fled to other feudal vassals!"
"Well, in those years, the business of people everywhere was almost abandoned, and there were vassals who fled from other vassals everywhere." Another traveler with a face full of vicissitudes, who was guarding the cargo on the deck, also took advantage of the situation and said.
: "I'm just waiting for the imperial court to grant me amnesty and become a naturalized person."
"He didn't do it according to the order!" The bearded patrol military academy also complained helplessly: "Is it an urgent errand ordered by Toudong, or is it that many feudal settlements in coastal areas are empty, and they are worried about fleeing to the
Yizhou has gone; if we don't let them gather together, I'm afraid they won't be able to do great things."
Just as he was shutting up, a group of watermen from other clans who were supposed to stay in the bottom warehouse were also brought out. They stood hunched on the deck and smiled slyly, accepting the captain's name and identification one by one.
The patrolling military academy on board the ship did not show any difficulty or make any mistakes.
I carefully inspected their legs, arms, legs, feet, armpits, lower back and other positions; after confirming the traces of some kind of long-term boat work, I basically skipped it. Until the last one had a disheveled beard and hair and a thin body.
The waterman suddenly stopped and asked, "Is it interesting?"
"I don't want to misunderstand you, Commander." At that time, the captain went to explain: "Then he is recruiting new vassals on the island to replace the young man who died of colic. He is in the chicken coop.
Those who have been registered at the gate of the city gate in the mountain can be checked by the military commander when he comes back to make sure that his records are complete."
Despite this, no matter how much the captain begged and appealed, and no matter how hard he tried to lure the general to a corner and have a good negotiation, the skinny little sailor who couldn't even speak clearly was still taken away from the ship.
Okay. After skipping that little episode on the way, Jilongshan Port is not far away.
As one of the major ports and ports in Yizhou, Jilongshan Port got its name because of the bowl-shaped mountain shape that looked like an overturned chicken coop on the distant coastline. Or was it because Liang Gong sent people to open up the Yizhou area?
It was one of the first coastal strongholds established and gradually penetrated into the outer mainland when Dadao Island was established;
Therefore, the Guangbo Port Area covers a very large area, and the dock areas along the coast are several miles wide, and are densely packed with at least hundreds of docks and trestles that go deep into the sea;
The ship's masts are like forests and its sails are like clouds.
And behind the port area, there are dozens of miles of residential areas, with various shanties, thatched houses, mud houses, small courtyards, mansions, government offices, and ancestral temples; from low to high, you can climb up the gentle hillside.
There are steps; the streets and alleys, as dense as a spider web, stretch endlessly like a maze.
But no, compared to the predecessor of Dongning Prefecture, which was based on immigrants from the Fujian mountain people and Yi immigrants; when the Jilongshan Port in Pingbei Prefecture was first established, the Japanese from the north accounted for a larger proportion. Later, it was
It became a transit point for recruiting immigrants from various vassal countries in the East China Sea to fill households in the South China Sea.
Later, a large number of Yin Shang survivors from Xinzhou/Beijulu Island in the distant ocean landed here for a period of cultivation and training, and then went to the outer mainland of China to meet or make a living. In addition, the North Sea and the East China Sea
There was an increasingly prosperous trade relationship between the vassal vassal and the princes of the South China Sea.
Therefore, outside the port city of Keelung, Shandong, it is full of the diverse elements described in later film and television works. Tianzhu people with tangled heads and exposed arms, Persians wrapped in high hats and robes, short Japanese people wearing rickety cloth pullovers;
On the right side of the gown, the Yin people wear feather crowns and the Australian people wear grass crowns;
And from the southern Shanzhou (African continent) in the outer seas, the real Kunlun slaves with charcoal skin and the short and dark little Kunlun slaves (South China Sea islanders) work almost side by side in the tidal flats and sand; they seem to stretch behind them.
Endless paddy fields, sugarcane bushes, orchards and melon fields.
But no, except for a few watchtowers and simple fences, there were almost no supervisors directly holding sticks and whips; it was as if those Kunlun slave groups were born to work hard; occasionally it was very dangerous
I heard some unknown singing and shouting.
Therefore, although Yizhou Island is separated from the Minzhong Road by a strait, once you land on the island, you will be transported to the wonderful and exotic mountains and rivers. Although most of the buildings are not Chinese-style,
But if you take a closer look, you will find many differences in details.
For example, the door carvings and flower rails in the shape of human bodies embracing each other are obviously from Tianzhu and other countries in the South China Sea, or the Persian mosaics full of mismatched flames, vines, flowers and fruits and other complex patterns; or even the distant lacquer sculptures with human faces.
The European totem pillar is such a chaotic era that makes people turn a blind eye.
And between the residential area and the port's dock and storage area, outside the market that is several miles long and half a mile wide, there are signs and flags with various shapes and patterns, selling all kinds of bulk goods.
A peculiar flow phenomenon brought about by the great conquest era initiated by Liang Gong.
Although after Taixing was reformed, the imperial court gradually enacted laws prohibiting the use of debt-servants as slaves, and instead allowed long-term labor contracts to be signed. At the same time, it also encouraged people who could not make it east due to the rapids to move overseas; this led to people from the Tang Dynasty who sold themselves into slavery to cross the border.
There are fewer and fewer people coming, and the abused slaves will flee to benefit the public.
But on the other hand, a large number of vassal people imported from overseas will not become a new source of supplementary labor for those at the bottom of the labor force; because the laws of the Tang Dynasty did not expressly protect those ethnic groups who have not been enlightened by the king and have not shouldered the corvee tax, they are allowed to do so.
After two generations of hard work in the Middle Kingdom, he became a Qunxian.
But with the end of the century-old great expedition, the pattern of numerous overseas princes gradually stabilized after coming to the East. As a result, those overseas vassals formed the inertia of spontaneous migration to the Eastern Land and the Tang Dynasty. Because most people originally lived in foreign lands.
Is the country really too difficult and dangerous?
And even if you were a slave in the Eastern Land and the Tang Dynasty, you could live in a better environment by working as a cow or a horse. You no longer have to worry about being in danger and being bullied and tortured by chiefs, nobles and enemy tribes; if you can
If you perform well, you are likely to get a designated marriage, and you will become a member of the group after two or three generations.
Therefore, among many foreign vassals, a mature social structure was born. The descendants of immigrants from the Tang Dynasty and native Tang people were the first-class vassal scholars and good people; the naturalized people of Fusang, Silla, and Bohai were the second-class commoners.
/Foreman. The tamed native barbarians are the third-class slaves.
In regular overseas slave-catching campaigns, the captured raw people, savages and defeated foreign captives would otherwise become the fourth-lowest slaves. Among them, according to the characteristics of different regions and environments, they are subdivided into three or six categories.
In the ninth grade, each other is restrained and misaligned through differences and mistreatment.
It can be said that in such a peak period of feudal society, through the self-teaching of those foreign vassal princes, the legs of later modern colonists, as well as the essence and advantages of experience and lessons, were brought into full play according to local conditions. It also became
The source of criticism from foreign traditionalists.
Thinking like this slowly, Jiang Tian strolled on the Gaoque Avenue that runs through the port area and extends to the residential area on the top of the slope; from time to time he tasted the local drinks and snacks sold on the street; he frequently refused the hawkers who filled the streets.
, strange and strange things that are eagerly touted and promoted.
From small pieces carved from bones, wood, and aragonite, to living parrots, orioles, or tarsiers; venomous snakes and gallbladders that were played with and dissected on site; Tianzhu’s secret medicine that is said to strengthen the essence and marrow; clams fished from the seabed
Clay and tortoise shell, giant snail; black iron or copper-clad small naked figure.
Of course, what follows is a lot of confusion in the bustling and flowing crowd; leg pick-ups and thieves are hard to guard against. The former looks clean and decent, shut up and be kind; but the latter has bad eyesight and quick legs.
Then the gangs would move around in groups, squeezing whenever they could, and bumping into each other whenever they could.
Therefore, when Jiang Tian was walking east on that long street, he saw at least three similar pickpocketing behaviors; one of them was caught in public, and then he was beaten violently with fists and kicks in a crowd that was used to watching.
Nose bleeding, then carelessly dragged away by the policeman patrolling the streets.
In addition, there are many others who are suspected of being scammers; such as well-dressed businessmen, or girls with heavy makeup. Then they lure people to the back alleys and small shops on the street in the name of having to sell family heirlooms; or asking for help if they are being abused.
Go inside for further deception...
Of course, relying on Jiang's extraordinary eyesight and hearing, we can detect the errors of people in this generation, and they seem to be particular and error-prone; for example, if they choose strangers who have just arrived, or if they look confused.
A confused new customer; but he also avoids some existences that seem difficult to deal with.
For example, when Jiang Tian was walking on that street, there were basically no pickpockets or thieves approaching. Occasionally, a young woman who had mistakenly identified the wrong person came over and wanted to beg her. She was also picked up outside a street shop.
The suspected accomplice who was drinking tea and looking out for the wind was rushed out to stop him.
Therefore, Jiang Tian was able to walk out of the harbor city and the residential area at the back end without any worries, and ate a large plate of local specialties, including clams, scallops, stone crabs, barnacles, conches, etc., at a small shop outside the wall.
Cook fish roe porridge; and ride on the long carriage to Taiping Prefecture.
The several followers who came with him to provide cover had already disappeared into the crowd in advance. In other words, from that moment on, their mission was basically over. Jie Donglai and the others investigated clues related to Donghai Society, and
That order will pass through Linghu Xiaomu Dongda.
As the assistants she gathered along the way, those few low-level staff who were originally part of the Wude Department but were frustrated; with the ready-made rewards and incentives, the assistants seemed to be quite motivated; therefore, they were wrong
So far as Jiang Tian is concerned, it is just a companion who has another mission.
