"The Dragon King Temple in the East China Sea is a temple where incense is prosperous in the states under the rule of the prince." Da Yue'er seemed to be a landlord at this time, and familiarly introduced the prosperous city landscape in Dengzhou to the prince of Bohai Da Weiying and his party.

Previously, the Bohai Kingdom was defeated in Liaodong, with 80,000 troops, and was forced to sign a peace agreement with Li Jing to cede land and pay compensation for the kinship. Because of this battle, the Hei Shui Mohe tribe, which was also a species of Marine, saw clearly the Bohai Kingdom's current external strength and middle war. In the fifth year of Qianfu, the Hei Shui Mohe tribe in the east of the Bohai Kingdom was attacking the Bohai Kingdom on a large scale. The Bohai King Da Xuanxi sent troops to fight against the Hei Shui Mohe tribe, but three defeats, with more than 30,000 soldiers and generals. Seeing the Hei Shui Mohe tribe coming in full force, the Bohai court proposed to transfer the troops arranged in the west to the east to face the Hei Shui Mohe tribe.

Not only was the King of Bohai worried that Li Jing would take the opportunity to attack Bohai. After thinking about it, Bohai transferred most of the troops in the west to the east, but also sent Prince Daweiyan as an envoy, bringing Dayue'er's mother, Princess Gao, to come, called congratulations to Li Jing's mother's birthday. In fact, it was hoped that he could improve some relationship with Li Jing and stabilize the situation in the west of the Bohai Sea.

Li Jing's mother's birthday has passed, but Da Weiying has been stranded.

Mrs. Han specifically asked Da Yueer to entertain her brother and mother. Today, Da Yueer took her mother and brother to enjoy the scenery of Dengzhou.

"The Dragon King of the East China Sea is extremely effective. The prince will respond to the Dragon King Qi Yu, so he will always respond to his requests in five provinces and thirty prefectures. The Dragon King of the East China Sea is the most incense." Da Yue'er stroked her mother's hand and said with a smile. Since she left Beijing, she has seen her mother and brother again for several years. She is indescribable to be happy. Moreover, this time her mother came, and she also told the fact that her father finally accepted the fact that she followed Li Jing.

"I heard that the prince was invited to the Crystal Palace by the Dragon King several times, and even the Divine Fire, Heavenly Fire and Glass were all given by the Dragon King. The prince was given the Divine Fire from the Dragon King, and defeated the Feng family in one battle with the Divine Fire and settled in Shamen Town." Da Weiying always felt a little awe of this cheap brother-in-law, but during the period from Bohai to Liaodong to Dengzhou, he also saw the earth-shaking changes in Liaodong along the way, especially after arriving in Dengzhou, he found that this was a huge city with a population of one million. The prosperity shocked him very much, and there were everything here, only unexpected things. What was even more surprising was that such an important city had no city wall outside, and the four walls inside only surrounded less than one-third of the population in the city, and more commercial and residential areas and schools were outside the walls.

"Well. The Dragon King of the East China Sea is the most respected by the people. Five provinces, 30 prefectures and 100 counties set up temples to sacrifice. Today is the second day of the second month. It is the dragon's head, also known as the Qinglong Festival. In order to pray for good weather, on this day, all walks of life, shops, restaurants, officials, government offices, peddlers and barracks will come to sacrifice. Therefore, today is also an important festival, second only to the New Year's Day in February after the New Year." Dayue'er introduced her to her mother.

While listening to Da Yue'er's introduction, Princess Gao and Da Weiying lifted the curtain of the four-wheeled carriage and looked outside.

When they came to Dulicheng from Shangjing to Dulicheng, they already felt that the prosperity of Dulicheng, which has a population of 100,000, is almost like a paradise on earth, far more than Shangjing, which is known as the Haidong Shengguo. But after arriving in Dengzhou, they found that Dulicheng was actually not half as lively as Dengzhou City.

At this time, what they saw was crowded everywhere. Even if the entire Shangjing people gathered together, they might not be as lively as before the Dragon King Temple in the East China Sea. If it weren't for the prince's personal guards and ceremonial guards, they wouldn't have imagined how they could squeeze into the temple.

"Dengzhou Yamen has been preparing for sacrifices since yesterday. It is said that as long as you can grab the first incense stick at the fifth week, you can keep a smooth year. Since yesterday, I don't know how many people have been waiting here, and they are waiting for the fifth week to fight for the incense stick. Last year's incense stick was snatched by people from the Shipping Guild..."

"The people from the yamen are coming to fight?" Da Weiying looked at her sister incredibly surprised. Da Yue'er smiled and said, "Of course we have to fight. Not to mention Dengzhou, it is the same in other places. All yamen, business banks, guild halls, guilds, etc. will send people to fight for this incense. Whoever has the ability can fight, but they cannot bully others by virtue of their power."

The four-wheeled carriage slowly moved forward on the wide street, and Dayue'er kept introducing all the things she saw to her mother and brother in the car. On these lively days, juggling was naturally indispensable. There were performances everywhere along the street. Princess Gao and Prince Dawei were dazzled and dazzled.

Dayue'er suddenly felt a little proud when she looked at the amazement of her mother, who was a prince of a king, and she smiled faintly: "There are many of these people in Dengzhou City, and the prince had issued an order to cancel their lowliness. Now they are the same as the common people and rely on performances to make money. Therefore, under the rule of the prince, these artists advocated greatness, all of whom came from other places, where they were prosperous and the people were rich. During the festival, the yamen and the families of the big families always invited these opera troupes to perform. When the festival comes, there are countless people nearby. In order to see these, Baba came here specially."

As he said that, Da Yue'er suddenly felt that the princess of Bohai and the princes of Bohai were like those rural people who had never seen the world.

The Princess of Bohai and Da Yue'er were chatting happily, but Da Weiying seemed a little silent, but there were just one or two sentences.

He has been here since November last year from Shangjing Longquan Mansion, and has not left yet. He has been here for two months in a blink of an eye. It’s not that Da Weiying is happy. In fact, he came here with important tasks this time. First, he has to continue the previous contract with Li Jing to ensure the safety of the west. At the same time, the Bohai Kingdom also hopes to buy a batch of excellent weapons and armor from Li Jing. If he can buy Tianhuo, the Divine Fire will naturally be better. If he can buy some heavy crossbows, it will be very helpful to deal with the Black Water Department.

If he could use Dayue'er's relationship to persuade Li Jing to use an elite army to deal with the Hei Water Division, it would be better.

But it was two months since I arrived in Dengzhou. I only met Li Jing two or three times. I didn’t have time to have a deep conversation every time.

The Bohai Kingdom was originally a Sumo Shui Mori, which is the same species as the Hei Shui Mori. There were dozens of Marine at the beginning, but later gradually developed into seven major parts. It is mainly distributed in the Sumo Shui (now Songhua River) and Hei Shui (now Heilongjiang). The Sumo Shui Mori and Hei Shui Mori are the most powerful.

The Sumo tribe in the south has more contact with the outside world and has always been more advanced. It has planted and raised pigs, and is a semi-agricultural and semi-animal Husbandry. After the demise of Goguryeo, it absorbed a large number of Goguryeo people, Han people, Baekje people, etc. Finally, the Bohai Kingdom was established.

However, the northernmost Hei Water Department lives by fishing and hunting, living between the white mountains and black waters, fierce but even more barbaric.

After the Tang Dynasty destroyed Goguryeo, the Bohai Governor's Office and the Hei Shui Governor's Office were established in Marine, with the leaders of each tribe as the governor, and the other tribes were affiliated with the Governor's Office, called the state, and the leaders of each tribe were the governor.

Since then, the Marine tribe has been divided into two major parts. The relationship between the two sides has gradually become tense. Later, Sumo Mohe established the Bohai Kingdom and its power has become stronger. After the establishment of the Bohai Kingdom, its national policy was to advance eastward. They did not develop to Liaodong, but continued to develop to Heishui Mohe.

The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty once won over the Hei Water Tribe and granted rewards, which attracted crazy revenge from the Marai tribe and sent troops to attack the Tang Dynasty.

For the Bohai people, unifying the Marine and conquering the Black Water Ministry was the most important.

But over the years, although the Bohai Kingdom has been suppressing the Black Water Ministry, it has been unable to conquer them. Now that the Bohai Kingdom is weak, the Black Water Ministry has begun to fight back.

Over the years, although the Bohai Sea was called the prosperous country in Haidong, it was because it fully imitated the Tang Dynasty and implemented the settlement farming system, and the result was that it became like the Central Plains dynasty. The level of cavalry warfare at the time was constantly decreasing. Until now, although the Bohai Sea has more than 5 million people and 300,000 soldiers, the battle with Li Jing was completely exposed, and the real situation of the Bohai Army's decay was completely exposed.

On the contrary, the Hei Shui Mori has always maintained a strong atmosphere. Although its territory is small, it has more than 100,000 households, and almost all the people are soldiers. The Bohai Kingdom, which has five million people, cannot resist the Hei Shui tribe with 100,000 households.

The next day, the Prince's Mansion.

Mrs. Han, who had just passed her fifty-fifth birthday, leaned against the kang and closed her eyes to rest. Dayue'er and Zhang Hui, Wang Guiniang, Wan'er, Wang Wanjun, Pei sisters, Xiao Yulou, Yu Youniang and others surrounded her. Even Meghan and Julie, who were always rare to see at home, changed into women's clothing and sat honestly on the side.

Li Jing also sat aside, surrounded by a bunch of children, in a hurry.

Dayuehou whispered to Han about the story of his mother and brother who accompanied his parents' family yesterday, "I went to the Dragon King Temple in the East China Sea and then to Dengzhou Port."

"Then the other day, you will accompany them to Liulifang, zoo, aquarium, big bell tower and other places. They come from afar. You are the daughter who is filial, which is also the decentness of our Li family." Han ordered: "Sanlang always has some strange ideas. He actually circled the white tigers, white elephants, giraffes, lions and other beasts bought by sea merchants from all over the country, and built an aquarium with that glass. It's really strange. I believe you, Princess Gao, have never seen it before..."

"Yes." Da Yue'er responded quickly, thinking of this, and sighed again in her heart. "There are so many birds and beasts in the zoo that are rare. They have never seen it before and have never heard of it. Those maritime merchants are really capable, such as money leopards, white elephants, giraffes, crocodiles, giant pythons, and lions."

When Mrs. Han heard this, she opened her eyes and turned her eyes to angrily look at Li Jing, and said with a smile: "Sanlang sometimes looks steady, sometimes like a child, and actually spends so much money to buy these birds and beasts from those merchants and build such a zoo. As a result, more merchants get more rare things and be careful to lose their ambitions. If the yamen has money, they will use them to help the poor."

Li Jing didn't expect to be shot while lying down. While moving left and right, he avoided the naughty son's dragon gripping hand, he replied with a smile: "What Ah Niang said makes sense, but this zoo is not just a plaything. Although he spent a lot of money to buy these animals, after building the garden, tickets were sold for the people to watch, which broadened the people's horizons and enriched everyone's life. In fact, in fact, there are a lot of tickets sold every day, and it is still a transaction that can be made without losing money."

At present, Dengzhou not only has a zoo, but also an aquarium that raises various fish from the rivers and seas. People line up to watch these rare things every day. Li Jing received tickets every day and did make a lot of money.

Han smiled faintly and sighed slightly, "I don't understand those big things, but for a family, it's always right to be thrifty and keep the family in charge. Yesterday Huier told me that the rebels in Hebei have already fought across the Yellow River, and the thieves in the south have surrounded the East Capital, and there is another thief army that was originally yours, which has now surrounded Songzhou. My old woman does not understand military and national affairs, but Sanlang, you are the prince of the court and the commander of the commander of the army. Now the rebels and rebels are in chaos, and it is the time when loyal ministers and good generals come out to protect the world..."

Mrs. Han said casually, but when her topic was brought to the current Hebei rebels and Henan thieves, Li Jing couldn't help but be stunned. Chengde's army was attacking the Yichang army, while Wei Bo's army was divided into two groups, one attacking the Xing and Ming prefectures of Zhaoyi's army, and the other had crossed the Yellow River to attack the Puzhou of Tianping's army. Huang Chao's troops had approached the Eastern Capital, and Zhu Wen had even besieged Songzhou.

When Huang Chao captured Ruzhou, the imperial court had issued eighteen consecutive resignations to him to dispatch troops and rescue edicts. Zhang Rui, the father-in-law of Songzhou, also sent several messengers to seek help!

"If the country is in trouble, think of good generals. Sanlang, don't lose the hearts of the world!" Mrs. Han said slowly.

Li Jing's face was calm. His mother's words had already vaguely accused him of holding troops and sitting on the ground to watch. Even Li's mother had such an attitude, and I believe that most people in the world would have such thoughts.

Li Jing held Han's hand and nodded, "I was going to talk about this today. I have mobilized my troops and will lead my troops to rescue Dongdu tomorrow!"

Hearing Li Jing's answer, Li's mother nodded and said only one word: "Okay!"

Zhang Huier heard that Li Jing was going to send troops, and she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart and looked at Li Jing gratefully.

Li Jing grabbed her hand and comforted her: "There will be no trouble for the high walls of Songzhou City. I will lead my army to go tomorrow, and the envoy Zhang of Dingbao is fine."

"Well, husband, take care of yourself." Zhang Huier was grabbed by Li Jing in front of everyone, and she blushed for a moment.
