Chapter 6 Behind the Prosperity

More than ten days later, under Dr. Zhang's careful treatment, Xiao Feng's injuries finally healed.

Dr. Zhang was also amazed at the fact that Xiao Feng could recover so quickly.

This is all due to Xiao Feng's extremely strong body, which can he recover so quickly.

As soon as Xiao Feng recovered, he couldn't sit still. Li Xiaogong's villa was located more than 30 miles west of Luoyang City. It was a real estate given to him by Emperor Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty. It had four or five hundred acres of fertile fertile land. Therefore, Li Xiaogong built such a villa in this place, which was convenient for managing the land, and also had a place to relax when he was spared.

But this villa is far away from Luoyang, and the news is extremely unfamiliar.

What Xiao Feng needs now is a detailed understanding of the current world. Relying solely on the news heard from Qing'er, Ping'er, or Xiao Liu'er, etc., there are great one-sided and exaggerated distortions.

Not to mention anything else, in Ping'er, who was becoming more and more familiar with Xiao Feng, Dou Jiande was a two-meter-high man-cannibal devil with three heads and six arms. This made Xiao Feng have some doubts about the self-righteous "sense" of this smart little maid.

Therefore, if you want to familiarize yourself with the current world as soon as possible, you can only practice it yourself, experience it yourself, and observe it carefully.

After making this decision, Xiao Feng wanted to go to Luoyang City to have a look.

It was a very unfortunate thing that Li Mayu's father Li Xiaogong went to Chang'an a few days ago. Hearing the gossip news from Lian'er's mouth, he probably went to Chang'an to report his work and discussed the matter of "agreeing to establish the eastern capital Luoyang".

This is not surprising. If the eastern capital Luoyang really wants to establish, then we will naturally have to inform the Luoyang general manager who controls a large area of ​​territory outside the Hangu Pass of the Tang Dynasty in advance.

I am afraid that Li Xiaogong will not be able to come back in a month, so Xiao Feng will naturally not die and wait, so he took a few Hu cakes that Qing'er asked for him from the kitchen and took the ten cents that Xiao Liuer lent him righteously, and went towards Luoyang City.

What can ten cents do?

With current prices and saving money, Xiao Feng will probably be able to survive in Luoyang for two days.

Of course, Xiao Feng doesn't have to worry about sleeping and eating. Since Li Ma Yu was determined and wanted to recommend Xiao Feng, who was "a bit talented" to his father, she would naturally make arrangements for Xiao Feng. After holding a letter written by Li Ma Yu himself, Xiao Feng could directly come to the Luoyang General Administration Office to find a place to temporarily settle down for food.

However, Xiao Feng was not very worried about his current embarrassment. During his wild survival training, Xiao Feng could survive in the extremely dangerous wilderness for more than half a month with just one dagger. Moreover, in such a densely populated metropolis, even if there was no place for the Grand General Administration, Xiao Feng was not afraid of not finding a place to eat.

So, after walking for more than thirty miles, Xiao Feng finally arrived at this legendary metropolis.

At this time, Luoyang was not inferior to Chang'an, due to its regional relationship and prosperity.

Luoyang is located in a key area of ​​the Central Plains and has well-connected transportation. It is the only way for merchants who are now traveling to and from major forces.

In recent years, the situation in all parties has become more and more stable. Everyone is resting their energy and vigorously developing the economy. No one dares to start war easily. Therefore, the economy has become more and more prosperous, and economic exchanges are increasing. At this time, Luoyang's regional advantages and its own population advantages are fully reflected.

Walking in the southern city of Luoyang, Xiao Feng felt a prosperous atmosphere coming towards him.

However, in the eyes of Xiao Feng, a discerning person, this superficial prosperity hides the biggest crisis of the entire Tang Dynasty and even the Chinese nation.

Among them, many things that made Xiao Feng feel extremely angry are inevitable.

Xiao Feng's first feeling was that there were too many Korean merchants in Luoyang, and Korean merchants often relied on their own technological monopoly advantages to occupy absolute control in some extremely critical industries. Then, they relied on their wealth and power to continuously gain greater advantages in various other traditional fields.

Xiao Feng could hardly imagine how much wealth would flow into the hands of these Goryeo merchants every year and then return to the Goryeo dynasty's hometown.

Just looking at the Goryeo businessmen in Luoyang, Xiao Feng can roughly estimate that the development of the Goryeo dynasty's commodity economy is now, and I am afraid that it is far beyond the level that the Tang Dynasty and even the other four forces are incomparable.

This is just a merchant from the Goryeo Dynasty in the Tang Dynasty. What about the local commodity economy of the Goryeo Dynasty?

As a later generation, Xiao Feng naturally knew the importance of this commodity economy. With such a developed commodity economy as the basis, the prosperity and strength of the Goryeo Dynasty were no longer something that the five major forces in the Central Plains could compete alone. It is hard to say that if the five forces join forces, they may not be able to compete with them.

Of course, in addition to these Korean businessmen who are quite polite and profitable, there are also some Korean businessmen, which is what makes Xiao Feng even more angry.

Along the way, Xiao Feng discovered a large number of "Fugui Tobacco Houses". Unsurprisingly, these "Fugui Tobacco Houses" were completely monopolized by Goryeo businessmen.

Just looking at the people of all kinds who hurriedly entered these "Fuguiyan Restaurants" and then came out with satisfaction, Xiao Feng suddenly realized that the trend of opium in the Central Plains was even more serious than he thought, because these people of all kinds of people who came in and out were spread throughout the Tang Dynasty, including scholars, civilians, merchants, vendors, and even officials, Tang soldiers.

Looking at some of the "Fuguiyan Restaurants" in Nanshi City, Xiao Feng could almost conclude that the popularity of this opium in the entire Tang Dynasty and even the Central Plains was only three to five years at most. At that time, it was too late to ban it.

At this moment, Xiao Feng's sense of urgency became even stronger.

In addition to this "Fugui Yanguan", what made Xiao Feng hate even more was the "slave market" that could directly sell slaves.

Originally, for the Tang Dynasty, the tribes, slaves, and slaves themselves existed, and the transactions involving slaves were also legal, but these Goryeo merchants became more and more powerful, and they had also completely industrialized this industry.

When Xiao Feng passed by the "Slave City" next to the southern city, he even saw some clear price tags for slaves. In this "Slave City", "Han Slave" and "Kunlun Slave", "Hu Slave", "White Slave" and other groups belong to one of the four major slave species.

There is no need to say much about the "Han slave". This "Hu slave" refers to the slaves of various countries in the Western Regions. "Kunlun slaves" are slaves of various countries in the South China Sea, and "White slaves" are naturally slaves of Japanese countries.

The price of acquiring "Han slaves" is also different due to age and gender. For female slaves, they are priced separately due to their different appearances.

Xiao Feng could naturally imagine where these slaves went. Young and beautiful women who were lucky might become female slaves in wealthy Korean merchants, but in the end they could not escape the fate of becoming toys for wealthy Korean merchants. Those with poor luck would be sold directly to brothels of the Goryeo Dynasty and become toys for ordinary Korean men.

As for those young men, they inevitably became slaves to the Goryeo Dynasty's workshops, mines and farms everywhere, creating a steady stream of wealth for the Goryeo Dynasty until they were squeezed out their last flesh and blood.

Standing at the door of "Sub City", watching the ragged civilians constantly leading their children into "Sub City", and then they were alone and came out of "Sub City" with a sad face. Xiao Feng's heart was bleeding.

What kind of blood is the dirtiest blood?

The blood accumulated with drug dealings and slave dealings is the dirtiest blood.

Those Korean merchants are simply vampires attached to the Chinese nation! They fattened themselves, but made the Chinese nation, which had originally begun to fully develop glory in the Tang Dynasty, slowly declined from then on.

Xiao Feng could conclude that as the Goryeo Dynasty used various dirty means to seize more and more wealth from the Central Plains, the Goryeo Dynasty would become stronger and stronger, and the Central Plains would become weaker.

Although all countries in the Central Plains are now raising their energy and the economic situation is generally good, that is just a stimulus brought about by stable development after the war, and this stimulus is only temporary.

When the wealth in the Central Plains is plundered more and more wealth is concentrated on the Goryeo Dynasty, as the ruling class in the Central Plains, in order to maintain their rule needs and maintain their strong army, they will inevitably become more and more severe and increase their plunder of civilians. At that time, domestic conflicts in various countries will become more and more acute. When the entire Central Plains will inevitably break out again and they will fall into a life-and-death struggle, it will be the day when the entire Chinese nation will completely weaken.

At that time, the only thing the Goryeo Dynasty had to do was to use the elite army they had raised with the wealth of the Chinese nation to enter Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty, Jiangdu of Du Fuwei, Yueyang of the Liang Dynasty, and all parts of the country!

The situation at that time was probably more severe than the "Opium War" that was 1,200 years later, the "Eight-Nation Alliance", and the "Eight-Year War of Resistance".

It may be said that the entire Chinese nation was completely and completely invaded.

Is it possible to lose the country?

Is it possible for the deceased?

It's entirely possible!

Will there be a Chinese nation in three hundred years?

The answer is self-evident.

Because Xiao Feng knew that in addition to being a big drug dealer, Jin Zhendong was also a thorough, pure and extremist nationalist!

Although he seems very kind to Japan now, it is because he needs to use the power of Japan to achieve greater goals.

His goal is not to be doubted at all, and it must be on the entire Chinese nation and the entire Central Plains.

fortunately……

Xiao Feng is here.

At the most crisis of the Tang Dynasty and at the most crisis of the entire Chinese nation.

He is here!

He gritted his teeth and stared at the big sign at the door of the "Slave Market", which read in big words, "A large number of Han slaves will be accepted, the lowest price will start from six pens, and the highest price will not be capped!"

The bright red characters are as bright as blood.

What this writes is not Chinese characters.

This writes about the shame of the Tang Dynasty and the shame of the entire Chinese nation!

Holding his fists tightly, the blue veins in his hands burst, Xiao Feng slowly turned around and left with heavy steps.

What’s heavier is Xiao Feng’s heart.
