167 The thin sea from the wind

"Relieve revenge and get married, and interfere with the alliance."

In the final analysis, it is based on bloodlines as the bond and gods and ghosts as witnesses. This custom is common to the Han and the Manchus, which is not surprising.

The reason why the ministers were all crying was because the nobles of the King of Ji and the Han Dynasty wanted to marry the barbarians for justice. The scholars and officials must pay more attention to it, with a high degree of harmony and a good family. Just as if their daughters marry a barbarian, they are all unsatisfied, which is a truth. The feeling of humiliation in the subsistence of the supreme generation.

The King of Ji was so noble that there were few Han girls in the harem. It was because the king set an example that he could be able to go up and follow him. Xianbei maids, Goguryeo maids, and Japanese maids were popular in China. He married Wuhuan, Xianbei and Qiang daughters, and was in full swing.

The "wind of harmony" is popular.

The disciples priest Sima Hui, who was ordered by the king, negotiated with Baiyi envoys to discuss marriage matters with the marriage.

The so-called people are full of tongues. There are all kinds of barbarians and urgent needs. There are many, many of them, and they all come to the same destination. They all want to imitate the fifty-five countries in the Western Regions, Longyou, Qiang and Di, and seek to build capitals. The Ji State's city-running technique is famous throughout the country. Why bother to say too much?

However, this is also a difficult task for people to force themselves. The poisonous road in Shu was called the "Ancient Tea-Horse Road" by later generations because of its hardships. Only tea and silk are equivalent to high and light objects, which are easy to transport. The city's important tools are how to cross mountains and ridges and transfer to the rugged mountain roads. Furthermore, if you rashly send craftsmen from great powers to Lingnan, you may be harmed by miasma. During Guangwu, you won the side of the army and conquer the two, and your sisters rebelled, attacked "more than 60 cities" and proclaimed yourself king. The southern border was in turmoil, so Guangwu sent a burial

General Bo Ma Yuan led his troops to quell the rebellion. At that time, the south was regarded as a "bad land". The climate was hot, humid and rainy, and poisonous insects were everywhere. The march was extremely difficult. He went to the 18th year of Jianwu and went to the 20th year of Jianwu. In just two years, nearly half of the officers and soldiers died due to miasma. The so-called "miasma epidemic" was "sucker sores". Later generations called smallpox. Although this disease was not difficult to treat. However, since it was one of the five epidemics, it was very toxic and often destroyed people's appearance. It must be prevented.

The disciple's priest Sima Hui was unable to make a decision for a while. So he reported to King Ji and asked for details.

The scholars and nobles laughed and said, "The southerners "use boats as carriages and bows as horses." Why should they walk on the poisonous path of Shu?

The nobles were from Jiaozhou. They knew very well about the landforms of Lingnan.

Liu Bei then asked for details.

The noble man said: Why not follow the Hepu Water Road and go back to the southwest?

Hepu is originally a land of Baiyue, with Juluo (Stone Sea in Vietnam) in the north, and the sea on the south (Beibu Gulf). The Hepu River (Nanliu River) from north to south, divided into four branches into the sea. The lower reaches then form a rich delta. It is "the mountain is opposite to the mountains, the mountains are undulating, the river flows in the winding place, and the place where the walls are located are located in Pingyan." It is also said: "The sea on the south side of Hepu is located, and the west is away from Jiaozhi, which is a barrier between the two Guangdong (Jiu) and the key to controlling the barbarians." Now it is the capital of Hepu County, with 23,121 households and a population of 86,617. It is called "Haibei Xiongfan".

Hepu Port is located at the mouth of the Hepu River. Overseas merchants can go through Hepu, go upstream, go over Tianmen Pass, pass through Lingqu, enter the river through Xiangshui (Xiangjiang), and go straight to the Central Plains. The products of the Central Plains can also go down along Xiangshui, Wushui (Bijiang), pass through Lingqu, go over Tianmen Pass, pass through Hepu Port, and transport to Shidu, Daqin, etc., overseas countries.

At that time, Qin destroyed Nanyue and established Nanhai, Guilin and Xiangjun. The Qin people moved south in a large manner. "To exile the people, they were mixed with Yue at the age of thirteen." In particular, Qin pacified Baiyue and sent 500,000 people to Lingnan. They followed the military merchants and brought the Central Plains products outside the Lingnan. They also weaved Hepu silk, pearls, etc., and were far away from the ocean. Hepu Port flourished as a result.

During the Han Dynasty, merchants often "bring (jī) gold miscellaneous books" to the sea from Hepu, traded with overseas countries through Sunnan, and exchanged them for treasures such as jade glass, amber, agate, rhinoceros and elephants. The "Book of Han Geography" says: Emperor Wu of Han sent a fleet to the sea, "the city is bright pearls, jade glass, strange stones, and foreign objects." This is what it means.

At that time, the Han Dynasty had a strong national strength and a great reputation spread far. "The Han Dynasty was united in the country, and the country was closed and the mountains and lakes were relaxed. Therefore, wealthy businessmen and great merchants were spreading around the world, and all the traded things were understood and they could do whatever they wanted."

The tribute and the lords and merchants, and the thin seas are all sailing from the mountain and sea.

Since the Xinmang period, there was a re-translation of Yue Shang Kingdom, offering white pheasants, and yellow branches were tributed to rhinoceros from 20,000 miles. The King of Dongyi passed the sea to worship the country. In the second year of Yuanshi (2nd year), the southern Huangzhi Kingdom came to offer rhinoceros. In the first year of Yuanhe (84), the barbarians from the south of the south of the south of the south of the south of the south of the south of the south of the south of the south of the south of the south of the south of the south of the south of the south of the south of the south of the south of the south of the south of the north of the north of the north of the north of the north of the north of the north of the year (100 years), the king of Anxi sent envoys to offer ivory, rhinoceros horns, tortoiseshells, etc., which shows the frequent sea transportation.

Han merchants, huge ships from the ocean, traded trade. The tribute envoys also landed from Hepu, or went up the water, passed through the "Xianggui Corridor" of the three major corridors (note ①), entered the Yangtze River waters, connecting Lingnan and the Central Plains. The products of the four seas gathered in Hepu. Both Han Han used Xuwen, Hepu and Sunnan to form the road to the Maritime Boat. "The large ones were more than 20 meters long, and the water was 32 meters high. It looked like a pavilion, carrying six or seven hundred people." "From the southwest of the Ganadizhou (Danlao Islands in Myanmar), and enter the Great Bay, 700 miles to the mouth of Zhihuli Dajiang (Gansu Delta), and crossed the river and traveled westward to the Great Qin."

In a nutshell, two thousand years ago, China was a major maritime trading country.

Liu Bei was convinced: "The noble man's intention was to pass through the Hepu River Road and go back to the Yi District. He chose a location nearby, built a new port and Tianjin, transferred to the city and all the artifacts, and skilled craftsmen. Then, he was transported to the Yi tribe and supervised the city and city."

"That's right." The nobleman said, "The only difficulty is that except for the Lingqu River Road north to the Lingling River and the branches and old rivers that go deep into the Yi District, all need to be cleared. Otherwise, the big ship will be difficult to move."

"It's okay." Liu Bei said, "You can order the commander of Shuiheng to follow the steps, dig stones and spread the river, and guide them all the way. If you encounter obstacles, you will hire young and strong people, cut bends and straights, and dig four channels. The southwest water network is vertical and horizontal, and can be used for one thing."

"In this way, the southwest will prosper." The nobleman's eyes were brilliant.

"If millions of barbarians in the three souths are all moving towards transformation, the three rises of the Han Dynasty are in sight. There is no stop." Liu Bei said: "It is said that rice farming in Lingnan can be ripe twice in one season, or even three in three."

"This is indeed the case." The noble man said: "If we could promote rice and farm the land in the south and outside the territory, the Han Dynasty would no longer have the food shortage."

Liu Bei nodded gently: "I am a husband, I have this intention."

"My husband wants to sail around the world and transform the world." The noble man suddenly asked.

"No hurry." Liu Bei gently caressed the bulging belly of the noble man and laughed loudly: "Reorganize the mountains and rivers and wait for the younger generation."

A noble man is extremely shy for a moment.
