In the ninth year of Emperor Kaihuang's reign in the Sui Dynasty, it was the twenty-third day of the first lunar month.
Dou, the wife of Duke Li Yuan of Tang Dynasty, gave birth to a second son. Duke Tang hoped that his son would be able to help the world and bring peace to the people in the future, so he named him Shimin. Since this son ranked second, people in the world called him Li Er.
It was also in the early morning of this day that a small black-capped boat quietly sailed out of Shouchun City in the morning light, sailed along the Huaihe River into the Yangtze River, and then went down the river. In the evening of the next day, it quietly sailed out under the cover of dusk.
Entered Jiangdu City.
After the boat docked, a group of more than ten people filed out, disembarked in a low-key and orderly manner, and then quickly transferred to several carriages that had been waiting on the shore. As darkness completely enveloped Jiangdu City, they drove into a house in the west of the city.
A small courtyard with an unattractive appearance.
After nightfall, a man in black robe quietly sneaked out of the small courtyard, and a moment later he appeared like a ghost outside the corner door of the Yangzhou Governor's Mansion.
After secretly exchanging secret codes with a wretched-looking servant at the door, the man in green disappeared into the dark palace of Prince Jin.
What's more amazing is that the man in black robe seems to have never come out since he entered Prince Jin's Mansion.
The next morning, however, a large group of palace guards came out of the palace in a chaotic manner. With swords and arrows straddled, horses and whips raised, they galloped out and headed straight for the mountains and forests outside the city.
It was not until dusk that these guards returned to the city with more or less prey.
During this period, including the guards themselves, they basically didn't notice that the number of guards returning was not the same as when they left, but that there was one less person.
In the afternoon of another two days, a caravan from Yanzhou with a total of twelve Sanya ships sailed into Jiangdu and began a seemingly normal commodity transaction.
The only slight difference is that this fleet of merchant ships also carries a few tourists, and most of them are children.
Of course, it is not uncommon for caravans to carry tourists, so it did not attract the attention of relevant people.
However, these groups of tourists are so distinctive that they really make people forget about the ordinary.
The first person to lead the way was a woman. Her tall, plump body was wrapped tightly in a green robe, and her face was covered with a veil, making it difficult to tell how old she was. Judging from her clothes and the large package she was carrying behind her, she looked like a woman.
She should be a maid, servant or something like that.
Behind the woman is a young gentleman. Well, it's not quite right to call him a gentleman. In fact, he looks like a little kid of eleven or twelve years old.
This child is about five and a half feet tall, with well-proportioned facial features, delicate and fair complexion, plump skin, white teeth and red lips, and piercing eyes. Looking at his face alone, he can be considered a pretty boy.
However, looking at it as a whole, it is really a bit unflattering!
The main thing is that this kid is too thin!
The height of five and a half feet is roughly equivalent to the height of an ordinary adult, but this young man looks like he weighs fifty kilograms and is all skin and bones! It seems that if the wind is stronger, this little boy can be carried away
It’s like the baby was blown away!
But the two little girls beside this child are very eye-catching.
The two little girls are both eight or nine years old. They are tall and plump, with tender and translucent skin, and delicate and delicate facial features. Although they have not yet begun to develop, the rudiments of the stunning little beauties are already vaguely visible.
The slight difference between the two is that the one on the left is wearing a snow-white floor-length gown, spotless and flawless, with long black shawl hair, and combined with the quiet and elegant temperament of the little girl, she is actually quite a bit like everyone else.
She has a ladylike style; the one on the right is wearing a pink knee-length skirt, with a dark ponytail on the back of her head, and a pair of big eyes that are lively and moving like mercury.
Behind these three people is a little giant man who is more than six feet tall. Although he looks like a teenager, he is half a head taller than an ordinary adult. He has big shoulders and a thick waist. Although his complexion is very dark,
It's white, but it feels like a bear puppy that has lost its hair...
Next to the little bear is a little kid of seven or eight years old. This kid has a decent appearance and a body that is in line with ordinary people. He only has a pair of small eyes that are unusually large, and he is walking around, vaguely.
Two green lights can be seen appearing and disappearing.
After leaving the pier, this group of people did not get into the car, and ignored the surprised looks of passers-by. They just walked through the city in such a grand manner and began to crowd the streets in Jiangdu City.
Speaking of Jin Wang Yang Guang's methods of governing the local area, they are indeed pretty good.
From the 11th year of Emperor Kaihuang's reign, Yang Guang began to serve as the general manager of Yangzhou.
At that time, after being baptized by the flames of war, the entire Jiangnan region was riddled with holes and in ruins, and a group of reactionary forces with ulterior motives occasionally incited a group of people who did not know the truth to cause rebellions.
However, after nine years of governance, today's Jiangnan is a prosperous country with prosperous people and a prosperous scene everywhere. And Jiangdu, the seat of Yangzhou, is even more prosperous and crowded. As for those reactionaries who have always been stubborn
The power has not been seen for many years and seems to have disappeared!
"I originally thought that my grandfather's governance of Yanzhou was already very effective. Now it seems that Jiangdu is not as bad as Yanzhou!"
After browsing around, everyone already had a general impression of Jiang Du, and the boy with the bamboo pole could not help but sigh in a low voice.
Behind the young boy, the little bear and the green-eyed wolf, one of them was looking downcast like a bear, while the other was looking around obscenely. Although their expressions were different, it was obvious that both of them were interested in Ma.
Gan'er's words don't arouse the slightest interest!
The little girl in white, on the other hand, said softly after hearing this, "But I still think that the young master is the most powerful!"
"Yeah! Yeah! Why do you need to ask? The young master is the most powerful in the world! No matter what he does!" The little girl in pink clothes on the other side agreed categorically.
"The prosperity of Jiangdu is superficial, and the young master's method is to hide wealth among the people. Therefore, although Shouchun is not more prosperous than Jiangdu, the entire Yanzhou is generally richer than Yangzhou! Therefore, I also feel that the young master's method is better!"
The woman in green clothes in front pondered for a moment before finally speaking.
Being complimented by three maids in three different styles at the same time, the young man was not only a little bit in a mood. After a while, he came back to his senses, composed himself, and said in a righteous manner, "Don't talk about national affairs, just
Talk about romance! Well, just talk about romance!"
Although they knew that their young master was deliberately changing the subject, the three maids did not have the slightest objection. Instead, they unanimously nodded lightly to express their firm support for their young master's decision.
"Huh? Look, there is a jewelry store over there! Today, the young master is happy to buy a set of jewelry for each of you! It's up to you to choose!"
Young Master Ma Gan'er's words immediately aroused the interest of the three maids, big and small. All three of them had bright eyes and surrounded the young man Ma Gan'er and rushed towards the jewelry store.
