Chapter 66 The Jurchens

Xu Hanliang's eyes shifted to the jade pendant. This was a wolf-head jade pendant. The whole body was crystal clear. It was obvious at a glance that it was worth a lot of money.

Not to mention the exquisite carving, the jade itself would probably cost you even three hundred taels.

Xu Hanliang originally thought that this woman was a killer in the world, but now it seems that she looks down upon her.

"I will keep this jade pendant, and I will give you your money. If you want to take the jade pendant back, you can exchange it at any time."

Xu Hanliang hesitated for a moment and then said.

According to this woman's stupid attitude, if he didn't agree, he would definitely find a pawn shop when he left home.

When the pawn shop sees that she is not a local, the five hundred taels can be regarded as five taels of silver.

After giving the woman fifty taels of silver, he turned around and left.

Zhong Xiuwen, who was still practicing martial arts at the door, saw her leaving and immediately walked in.

"Brother Ziyou, you are really interesting. I was just saying casually, but you actually drove him away."

After Zhong Xiuwen came over, he said happily.

"It would be nice if she left. I'll move back in tonight."

Xu Hanliang nodded and said casually.

"ah?!"

Zhong Xiuwen looked at Xu Hanliang with a bitter look on his face.

"I lied to you."

Xu Hanliang suppressed a smile and said.

"Thank you."

Xu Hanliang thought about the strange accent of the woman just now, and subconsciously learned it.

Originally he just wanted to think about it himself, but when he said this sentence, Zhong Xiuwen frowned slightly.

"Why are you trying to imitate the Jurchens' speech? Don't tell me that what you learned is really similar. Is it possible that there are also Jurchens in Changshu?"

Zhong Xiuwen looked at Xu Hanliang and asked with some doubts.

"Jurchen? Taoist nun?"

Xu Hanliang was slightly startled.

"They are the Jurchens, a nationality in the Liao Kingdom, the Jurchens."

Zhong Xiuwen repeated it, and also explained the meaning of Jurchen.

As a history teacher, how could Xu Hanliang not have heard of the Jurchens?

After all, there is a famous saying that Jurchens are invincible if they are not equal to ten thousand.

Xu Hanliang only half agreed with this sentence.

In ancient times, those people on horseback were naturally very powerful.

But it's different in modern times. Those powerful nomads seem to have gradually transformed from being brave and good at fighting to being good at singing and dancing since they had weapons like machine guns.

But now those people on horseback are still the top combat power in the world.

Especially compared with the current weak Song Dynasty, it is simply not the same dimension.

Although Daliao seems to be in great momentum now, they are gradually leaning towards Sinicization.

Although this indeed made their culture more prosperous, it also brought with it some shortcomings of Chineseization.

If they really were Sinicized during the Han Dynasty, that would be another matter. After all, they were an Eastern country aligned with Rome.

But their current Sinicization is learning from the Song Dynasty, which is like two bad chess pieces colliding together.

Famous teachers give birth to great disciples, Wolong and Fengchu.

Wanyan Aguda has not yet established the Jin Kingdom, but it seems to be very close.

In a few years, Wanyan Aguda will establish the Kingdom of Jin.

According to records, the Jurchens were brave and fond of fighting, endured hunger, thirst and hardship, and rode up and down rocky walls as fast as they could. They crossed rivers without boats and horses.

From such a description, we can also see that this is also a nation on horseback.

Moreover, when Wanyan Agu launched an army to fight against the Liao Dynasty, there were only these 800 Jurchen warriors at the beginning.

Subsequently, Daikin was established by relying on the sturdiness and bravery of the Jurchens and the fierce and murderous character of the nomads.

What made Xu Hanliang even more confused was that the woman just now actually had a Jurchen accent.

If calculated in this way, it is already even more puzzling that he was injured in the Song Dynasty.

If they were on the border here, it would be somewhat understandable.

But now Changshu itself is located in the center of the Song Dynasty, thousands of miles away from the Jurchen tribe.

Why she came here is already very confusing.

And based on what she said before, it seems that she is not alone, but also has other partners.

Although he was confused, Xu Hanliang did not dwell on this issue for too long.

After all, everyone has let go now. No matter how much you think about it, there is nothing you can do.

"By the way, there is also this jade pendant, do you recognize it?"

Xu Hanliang took out the jade pendant that the mute girl gave him again, and continued.

Hearing this, Zhong Xiuwen looked at the jade pendant in Xu Hanliang's hand.

"The fine jade is round in texture, transparent and white. The price is at least 800 taels. This wolf head pattern seems to be the pattern of the Jurchen nobles. If it is sold, the price will be at least 1,500 taels. Where can you get it?

Got it?"

Zhong Xiuwen seemed to have done some research on this jade. After taking a look, he immediately recognized it.

"Picked it up on the ground."

Xu Hanliang replied casually.

He originally thought that the price of this jade was only three hundred taels, but he didn't expect that he was short-sighted.

The girl sold the fifteen hundred taels of jade for fifty taels.

Xu Hanliang didn't know whether it was because the girl didn't know Baobao, or because she was too short of money.

At night, there was silence.

Tonight, the Qinchuan River has already cleared out all the cruise ships on the river.

This incident also caused many prostitutes to yell and curse. They had done half of the business, but they just ran away with their pants up. It was more or less a lack of martial ethics.

It was originally said that the river would be cleared tomorrow, but it was moved to today.

This is also to ensure that Caoyin can pass smoothly and reach Tokyo successfully.

There are also Xiang troops on both sides of the Qinchuan River, and they need to ensure the safety of Caoyin.

In fact, it is not so strict in other places, but there was an incident with Guan Yin in Changshu, and many officials were punished at that time.

It is for this reason that the entire transportation of Changshu Caoyin is now very careful.

Moreover, this time there were more than ten official ships in total, and the total amount of official silver they carried was as much as one million taels.

This one million taels of silver can cover the expenses of all the officials in Tokyo for a year.

So it is quite normal for people to pay so much attention to it.

As these water transport ships slowly sailed across the Qinchuan River, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, the theft of silver has not happened again in my hands."

Looking at the water transport ship going away, Jiang Wen wiped the cold sweat from his head.

"Sir, under your control, our Changshu is a first-rate benevolent place. Naturally, it is impossible for thieves to appear."

The clerk on the side said with an apologetic smile.

Jiang Wen trimmed his beard and waved his hand: "Don't show off to me. This is just what I should..."

Just at this moment, a "tiny" voice sounded.

Boom!
