Li De did not reveal his identity as the Lord of Yunyang, after all, there are still many dangers in theory along the way.
Although he is not afraid of any assassination, it is better to save some troubles. Li De forged his identity as a Yunyang businessman, and put on a simple make-up, without arousing any suspicion along the way. Along the way, Lide made some inquiries. Most of the people in the outer territories are not aware of the current situation in Yunyang. What happened, basically no one knows.
However, Li De believes that with the strength of the dark organizations in other territories, it is not difficult to pry into Heyue's governance philosophy and then deduce Yunyang's development strategy. Ordinary people may know nothing about what happened thousands of miles away, but those above will understand something.
In fact, after hearing that Li De was a "merchant" of Yunyang, many people inquired about Yunyang's news from him, and Li De also met a lot of Anbu members of the territory along the way. There are even some members of the Anbu Department of the Territory who are not skilled in learning and skills, and they were found out by Li De after three times and five times.
In any case, these fully prove that Li De and his Yunyang have gradually come into the public eye after the big event of "killing their father and brother". Winning Yunyang is a move that has been planned for a long time, but the Yuxicheng family is not the only one who plays chess on this chessboard.
Lide wandered all the way to the border of Nanchu, and he could see that the villages and cities he passed through were becoming more and more prosperous. This kind of prosperity is not because of the addition of many large buildings, but because the food and clothing of the people has increased significantly compared to other territories, and the business exchanges between the east, west, north and south have become more frequent. Many people have come to inquire about Lide's current What did you bring.
In order to make the performance more similar, Li De did bring something with him. The steel on the carriage was forged by Yunyang, but it was not the best quality batch. Too high-quality steel is as hard currency as gold in this world, and bringing too much will cause unnecessary troubles.
It is no secret that Southern Chu lacks iron. There are not a few people who come to Nanchu to do ironware business every day, so most of the merchants chose to leave after a quick look. Lide found a workshop to sell the iron, and found an inn to store the carriage, and then rented a cruise ship on the spot and started wandering.
Although Southern Chu is located in the southern part of the Kingdom of Eternal Heaven, it is not a remote place, but a serious and prosperous place. The water system here is very developed. It is conservatively estimated that there are two large rivers and four large lakes. The rice planting area is very extensive, and there are developed silk industry, handicraft industry and commerce. It has been rich for a long time and has accumulated a large amount of money. wealth.
The girl from Nanchu is not tall, but she looks very juicy, and her eyebrows are curved and her eyes are very beautiful when she smiles. The atmosphere here is not as closed as other places, and girls can plant seedlings in the ground, so you can clearly see the difference when walking on the street: those white and clean people in the painting boat are gentle and gentle young ladies, most of them are holding Reading the scroll with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and occasionally chatting and laughing with the little maid beside him, but he also covered his mouth lightly and was very self-restraining.
The tanned people on the side of the road are peasant girls or fisherman girls. Many of them are stepping on the mud with bare feet, holding a bunch of lotus roots in their hands, and wearing many strange patterns on their bodies. It's not against the peace that these two people get together, and they don't seem to have any estrangement from each other before. There are often fisherman's women on the boat carrying a bunch of lotus seeds, and they go to the side of the painting boat to sell to the ladies. Most noble ladies are also willing to spend some money to buy a bunch, and occasionally buy a few homemade sachets from them to take with them.
"Ah... Is this your first time in Nanchu?"
While Lide was looking into the distance, a small boat rowed over. A barefoot girl grabbed the side of the boat and looked at Lide from bottom to top.
Lied also sat down in the cabin and asked:
"You can see that too?"
The girl laughed and said:
"You can tell by looking at your clothes. In Nanchu, the climate is humid and warm like spring all year round. Everyone wears short clothes and shorts. There is no one who is so tightly wrapped like you."
Lide scratched his head and looked around. It was almost the twelfth lunar month, but the people on the street were indeed still wearing shorts and shorts, and their expressions were leisurely, without feeling cold at all. The girl was still smiling, resting her chin on the edge of the boat, blinking at Lid, and continued:
"My lord, would you mind telling me what I'm here for? I can help you dress up your staff. My lotus root has been sold out today, but it's too early to go back. If you are willing to give me a little money, I can help you." The young master will be your guide."
Lid took out a gold coin from his pocket and handed it over.
He Yue is a typical man with a knife mouth and a bean curd heart. When he was at home, he kept telling him that the territory was very poor and he needed to save some money. When he went out, he brought Li De a large sum of money, saying that Nanchu was a prosperous place. , There are also many places to spend money, fearing that Lide will be treated as a jackass who has never seen the world after he passes by, and he will not be able to make friends.
With money in hand, Lide naturally spends money lavishly.
To Lide's surprise, the girl raised her hand to block it, and said righteously:
"I don't need so much, my lord. A few dozen copper coins are enough. I have been fishing on this river all the time, so I don't need so much money. But my lord is away alone, and I need to spend in various places. It's better to save money." Take it easy."
As she spoke, the girl stretched out her hand, showing her white teeth, and said with a smile:
"My name is Wantang, and you can just call me Xiaotang. You might as well buy your clothes first, book a hotel, and then come to visit the river. We have all kinds of cruise ships here at night, and they are lit with bright lights, which are very beautiful." gone."
Li De stretched out his hand to shake Wantang's, and he could feel that her hand was slightly rough. It was obviously a girl who lived on the boat in the wind and rain. But Li De didn't dislike her, because Wan Tang had a pretty smile and a bright personality, so getting along with her was not tiring.
Li De paid the boat fare and went ashore with Wan Tang.
Wan Tang took away twenty-five copper coins from Li De, and she immediately turned into a professional guide. After a long time comparing the left and right clothes in front of Li De, she finally chose two moderately priced ones. Then I introduced the inns here to Lide, which inn is cheap, which inn leaks, which inn has a noisy downstairs decoration, and which inn is full of nobles who come and go... Finally, I also helped Lide book one. The price is a little expensive, but the scenery is very good.
Before leaving, Lide asked casually:
"Speaking of which, is there anything fun going on in Nanchu recently?"
Wantang put one hand on her lips, tilted her head and thought for a while, then replied:
"I don't know much about the fun things... But there is one thing that has caused a lot of trouble recently, which is the 'Blood Dress Case' that happened some time ago."
