Chapter 505

On the Golden Silk Road, there is a hub and transit city. He is located in the core of the western regions. The fertile soil and convenient transportation in the namishui River Basin have bred the people here and brought untold wealth to this land.

This city is the capital of Kang state - "samojian".

Samojian was the name for it in Tang Dynasty. Another name given to it by later history books is Samarkand, which is famous in history and even in the world.

If Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty is the most magnificent and spectacular city in the world today, it is not too much to call it the first city in the world; then samojian, as the core city of the Silk Road, is one of the richest cities in the world.

It is said that more than half of the wealth of all countries along the silk road is concentrated here. If the wealth carried by the businessmen walking here is concentrated, it can be worth a great Tang Empire!

There are always exaggerations in the rumors, but it is enough to see how rich samojian is.

At the moment, Wu Meiniang and her huge caravan are driving into this rumored first "commercial city" in the world.

"Master, let's go all the way to this place. What's our plan?" Su Lianqing, who was in the same car with Wu Meiniang, looked out of the window. A little annoyed, he nagged, "there are big bearded ghosts with big nose, green eyes, red hair and blue hair all over the place. They smell like sheep. These walls and houses have been built so strangely that it's uncomfortable to look at them from left to right. "

Wu Meiniang, who had been trudging for a long time, was tired. She tilted up to the carriage and said faintly, "I didn't ask you to follow me."

"Well, it's not kind of you to say that!" Su Lianqing said angrily. "I'm not for your safety? I've left my baby son less than three months behind and come to this place with you. You don't have a good word for me! "

This sentence seemed to pierce the pain in Wu Meiniang's heart. She gently twisted her eyebrows and said, "I'm not?"

"I don't understand!" Su Lianqing said, "in the eyes of businessmen, there is nothing else but money? You haven't seen Qin mubai for more than a year. Just gave birth to a baby son is only half a year old, you have the heart to leave them and run to the ghost place thousands of miles away to make trouble? ——I don't know what you're drawing! "

"You'll know later." Wu Meiniang breathed a sigh, patted the carriage board and said in a loud voice, "find a business post as soon as possible to settle down, so that we can have a rest for a day!"

"Yes, master!"

Su Lianqing turned her lips and continued to glance out of the window, shouting: "this place is really busy, more than the people in the western city of Chang'an. The goods on the street are piled up like mountains, and the sea of people can't get through. This is still the war period - wow, is that Dawan horse? How beautiful! I want to buy a horse for my man! ——No, two! Boss, can you lend me some money? The man in my family has no other hobbies. He just likes horses! "

"Come on, you don't have to be nagging!" Wu Meiniang was a little impatient and said, "thank you, you're an old man, too! ——This is a special trip. Don't be capricious

"It's just doing business and making money. What's special about that?"

"In a word, don't run around if you have nothing to do. Stay with me and don't make trouble! If there's any accident, I'm sure I won't take care of you. Let's talk about it first

"Well, listen to you!"

When he was young, a large caravan of more than 300 cars from Wu's firm settled down in a Sogdian owned business post.

After getting off the bus, Wu Meiniang went up and talked with the porters of the post house. She spoke fluent Sogdian. After Wu Meiniang's conversation, Su Lianqing asked, "what did you say, master? How can I not understand a word?"

"Thank you for following me for several years. You can't even speak Sogdian." Wu Meiniang said with a smile, "I speak Sogdian. The owner of this shop is Sogdian, which is what we often call "Hu people with nine surnames in Zhaowu.". If you want to walk on the Silk Road in the western regions, you can't do without understanding Sogdian and Sogdian. It's just like the Mandarin in the mainland of the Tang Dynasty. Not only that, even in the Tang Dynasty, there were a large number of Sogdian merchants living in the mainland. Sogdian and Sogdian language are things that businessmen must learn. The exception, of course, is the unfriendly peddlers. "

"So mysterious?" Su Lianqing turned her eyes and said, "is Zhaowu Hu Oh, that sounds familiar! It seems that there are many Hu people with nine surnames in Chang'an and Luoyang! "

"You should read more books!" Wu Meiniang shook her head and said with a smile, "the nine surnames of Zhaowu are descendants of the Dayue family, some of which are Hun hybrids left over from the Qin and Han Dynasties. The name of "Zhaowu" comes from Zhaowu city in Hexi corridor. It was originally the capital of the Dayue kingdom. At that time, the Huns forced the Ju people to move westward. The name of the capital moved westward. The original meaning of Zhaowu is "capital". After moving to the west, the state of Dayue gradually divided into nine countries, and the state of Kang was the suzerain of the nine countries. What Zhaowu's nine surnamed Hu is good at is doing business. Samojian, the capital of the state of Kang, is the place where merchants gather all over the world. If business people don't come to samojian for a walk, they will waste their life! "

"It's complicated, I don't understand!" Su Lianqing said with a curl of his mouth, "I only know that business is to buy cheap and sell expensive, and make money to leave. How can you make it clear that you are tired of all the eight generations of your ancestors? "Wu Meiniang said with a smile: "if a man wants to do good things, he must first sharpen his weapons. The art of war says that he knows himself and his enemy, and that he will never be defeated. In fact, business is the same as war. If you want to earn money from the other side, the other side also wants to earn money from you. How can you win without understanding the other side first? As early as I was in business, I wanted to visit the famous samojian. For this reason, I spent several years studying Sogdian and Sogdian. Moreover, even if you do business in the mainland of the Tang Dynasty, you have to deal with Sogdians. The Sogdians are a wonderful, hardworking and intelligent people. Their businessmen are all over the world, making all the wealth in the world. They must be rich wherever they go. Even in places like Chang'an and Luoyang, Sogdian merchants were also famous figures. There were six Sogdians as housekeepers under Zheng Anshun, the eldest son of the Zheng family, the first rich businessman in the Tang Dynasty. It's amazing that everyone can stand in the way of others. Sogdians. They are all gifted businessmen

"Ho! It's rare to hear you praise others like that Su Lianqing tut tut said, "according to you, the Sogdians are really a little amazing?"

As he said this, a man, about forty years old, came out of the main hall of the commercial post, wearing a ground white robe with narrow sleeves and tight body. Wearing a high peaked hat with curly eaves, blue eyes and beards, he is smiling.

"I'm the shopkeeper of a small shop. I'd like to warmly welcome the distinguished guests of Tang Dynasty who come all the way here!" He speaks fluent Chinese.

"It's the Kang family. I'm Wu Meiniang. It's a gift. " Wu Meiniang returned the gift and said with a smile, "Kang Dongjia speaks very fluently in Chinese, and her Chinese name is very authentic. I think she must have been to the Tang Dynasty?"

"I have been in business for more than ten years in Chang'an and Luoyang, which is my second hometown. I just returned to my hometown soon. So. It's very kind of me to meet the distinguished guests from the eastern Tang Dynasty! " Kant came to Yin Qing and said kindly, "if you come here to work hard, why don't you come to the shop first to have a rest. If there is anything important to do, the Wudang family just give orders. Whether it's to contact the government to apply for permission documents or the goods need to be traded, small shops can do it for them. As for the cost. Please rest assured that any price given by the shop is absolutely the most reasonable for samojian! "

"Ha ha, Kang Dongjia is really good at business. If you don't say anything else, you've guessed everything I want to do! " Wu Meiniang said with a smile, "well. We'll talk about the business later. We're tired from travelling thousands of miles. Let's arrange a room for us to rest first. "

"No problem, the Wudang family is the guest of honor when they come, please!"

Just as Kant's voice almost fell, a group of soldiers rushed in from outside the courtyard. Everyone was wearing heavy armor, holding a dazzling sword, and wearing a big cap like a cockscomb on his head. A fierce roar.

At the scene, people were shouting and horses were hissing. Kant was surprised and went up to stop him, shouting: "what's the matter? What are you doing? "

"Get out of here!" The leading military academy pushed him away and yelled, "my king has orders. All the Han merchants and Han people in samojian city should be arrested!"

Wu Meiniang, Su Lianqing and others suddenly changed their faces!

"Master. What happened? "

"I don't know!" Wu Meiniang took a deep breath. "Samojian is a free trade city. It never refuses businessmen from any country to come in or go out. Now it suddenly wants to arrest Han merchants. Is it related to the war?"

Just then, the group of soldiers surrounded Wu Meiniang and others.

"You are Chinese!" The leading military academy pointed a knife at Wu Meiniang and others. Drink hard.

Su Lian was about to make trouble. Wu Meiniang pulled her and held her down. She stepped forward and said in fluent Sogdian: "exactly. We are officials and businessmen from Lanzhou, Qinxian firm

Wu Meiniang specially said "Lanzhou" instead of "Chang'an". Moreover, she emphasized the word "Qin Xian Business".

"Lanzhou, Qinxian trading house?" The military academy looked Wu Meiniang up and down with fierce eyes, but she even swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

"According to my king's order, all the Han merchants and Han people in samojian city will be arrested." The voice of the military academy was much softer. He also approached Wu Meiniang vaguely. A pair of eyes glanced at Wu Meiniang's towering chest and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, this beautiful girl. Me too Follow orders

"Get out of here!" Suddenly a clear reprimand, that military academy looked up to the sky and fell down, shouting. The soldiers were so frightened that they cried out and put up their swords and guns one after another!

Su Lianqing suddenly appeared in front of Wu Meiniang. She was like a ghost. She put her foot on the chest of the fallen military academy. She had a short sword in her hand, which was close to his throat. He said, "tell your people to spread out, or I'll cut your throat!"

Although the military academy could not understand what Su Lianqing said, the chilling effect of the dagger had already acted as a translator.

"Su Lianqing, let him go. We are here to seek wealth, not to fight. " Wu Meiniang said calmly and quietly, then changed to Sogdian. He said to the sergeants, "listen up, I'm Wuzhao, the owner of Qinxian, an official businessman in Lanzhou. We are not ordinary Chinese businessmen. My purpose here is not only to do business, but also for other important purposes! ""What's the purpose?" The fallen military academy got up, stepped back, and asked angrily and carefully.

"You don't deserve to know." Wu Meiniang cockily squinted at the military academy. "Next, I'll just talk to your three ministers and the king who are in charge of their own affairs. If you know the truth, go back and report it as soon as possible! "

"In samojian, there are 800 merchants like you without 1000!" The military academy was completely annoyed, spit one mouthful of hate, ready to draw a knife, mouth said, "also let me inform you, why do you?! ——Brothers, let's get it! If there is any resistance, shoot to death! "

"By the way! ——”Wu Meiniang suddenly exclaimed, "can I please move the hundreds of thousands of troops of Su dingfang, marshal of the western expedition of the Tang Dynasty! Is that enough? "

"Er!! ——”Dozens of Sogdians, who were just about to rush up, were as settled as if they had been hit by the body immobilization method.

The military academy widened its eyes and looked up and down at Wu Meiniang again, and said, "you Who on earth are you? "

"Fool! You have offended the worst woman in the world Su Lianqing angry horizontal out again file in front of the military academy. He pointed to his nose and said, "it doesn't matter who she is, it's her man."

Looking around in confusion, the military academy obviously couldn't understand Su Lianqing's words. Kant, the shopkeeper of Shangyi, came forward to translate to him and asked Su Lianqing, the man who was the shopkeeper in front of her. Who is it?

"Listen up!" Su Lianqing put her hands on her waist and said in a loud voice, "her man is Qin mubai, Young Marshal Qin, the great protector of Anxi in the Tang Dynasty, who has stepped down the power of Tubo."

"Hula" sound, the group of military academies began to run, flocking and scattered, while running, still shouting - "return to my king quickly! The envoys of the Tang Dynasty have arrived at samojian! "

"Woo! Here comes Qin mubai! Here comes Su dingfang

"Has Datang killed samojian?"

"Lord! Did the disaster of Kang come? Please help us

……

Su Lianqing was stunned. Looking back, Wu Meiniang also had a blank face, and they shook their heads in confusion.

On the contrary, Kant, the owner of the business post, had knelt down on his knees and made a pilgrimage to Wu Meiniang and others. He said, "it's the son of the true God! The son of God is here

"What is the real God?" Su Lianqing asked.

"According to the legend of the true God spread in Gaochang state, Qin Shubao, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, is the true God of war! It is also the patron saint of all merchants on the silk road! " Kant put his hands together, lowered his head, and said devoutly, "I never thought that Wudong family was the daughter-in-law of the real God! ——You can go to every family in samojian to have a look. All the families offer the throne of the true God, just like every family in the Central Plains has a picture of the door god of Lord Ling of Qin on its door during the Spring Festival! "

Wu Meiniang and Su Lianqing look at each other in a daze.

Kant added: "in addition, in the past two years, young commander Helong Qin, the son of the true God, has been famous all over the world. Especially after he pacified Tubo, the big and small countries in the western regions have been listening to him like thunder. In other words, the status of Qin's father and son in the hearts of Sogdians is second only to Allah! "
