As they walked on the road, the people in the caravan became more and more frightened.
All the way from the north, I have never seen anything like this.
On both sides of the flat official road are endless farmlands.
Canals flow through the fields, irrigating the crops so they are lush and green.
The farmers working in the fields did not see the misery of farmers in other areas at all, and their faces were all filled with happy smiles.
There are children playing in the fields, farmers singing while working, shepherd boys playing crisp reed flutes, and old farmers carrying iron farm tools walking leisurely through the streets. What a pastoral scene!
Everyone in the caravan felt like they were walking into a painting.
A caravan guard didn't know how to express his shock. He lowered his voice and said to the bald man: "Sir, is this the Wu Dynasty? Isn't it the legendary paradise?"
The bald man frowned and scolded: "Don't talk nonsense. The people of Wu Dynasty don't deserve to go to heaven. They only deserve to be our cattle and horses!"
Even though he said that, the bald man was actually very shocked.
Whether it was in his own country or in the Wu Dynasty, the people at the bottom he had ever seen had never lived so comfortably and happily as the people in the land in front of him now.
Just from the rosy faces of the common people, we can tell that these mud-legged people are definitely not acting, they are really well fed and clothed!
Whether it was in the bald man's own country or in the Wu Dynasty, the people he had seen were all disheveled, ragged, miserable, and mentally numb...
What exactly happened here? Is it really like the legends of those merchants of the Wu Dynasty that gods were reincarnated in this land?
Along the way, everyone in the caravan was also surprised.
When they saw Dongping Mansion, their surprise almost reached a climax.
Not to mention the tall city walls and wide moats, the clean and orderly houses and streets outside the city were something they had never seen before.
Almost all the cities that the caravan members have seen outside the city are dirty and disorderly.
The houses are in a mess, the flow of people is chaotic, the streets are filthy, and the public security is even more chaotic.
Looking at the Xiangguan outside Dongpingfu City, it is cleaner, neater and more organized than many cities in the Wu Dynasty!
There are long queues of people entering the city, and an endless stream of people leaving the city.
There are no soldiers guarding the city to take advantage of the situation, and no dignitaries jumping in the queue.
When acquaintances meet, they bow and greet each other, and when strangers meet, they greet each other with a smile.
This Nima is not an ordinary state capital of the Wu Dynasty. It seems to have more political and people-friendly policies than Shangjing and Zhongjing!
According to the regulations of the Yun Family Army, caravans are not allowed to enter the city.
People can enter, but goods cannot.
If there are so many big cars crowded into the city, the order will be chaotic.
There is a special place for caravans outside the city.
The warehouses are connected together, specifically for the caravan to stay, unload, load, etc.
Because the goods of this caravan were too precious, the Yun family army responsible for escorting them specially found a military warehouse for them to use to avoid any accidents.
As soon as the big car parked, someone came over.
It was said that shopkeeper Wu of Yun's Trading Company happened to be in the city and asked the person in charge of the caravan to come to the city to talk.
Before the bald man said anything, the caravan guards and clerks were not happy.
What is the identity of his master? How dare he put on airs even though he is the shopkeeper of a small Yun's Trading Company!
After seeing the expressions of his men, the bald man waved his hand, telling them to calm down and prepare to bring a few guards into the city to negotiate.
As soon as they entered the city, the eyes of everyone in the caravan were not enough.
It's not that they have never entered the cities of the Wu Dynasty, but compared with the Dongping Mansion in front of them, all the cities of the Wu Dynasty they have seen are rubbish!
Yes, literally garbage.
Compared with Dongping Mansion, other Wu Dynasty cities were too dirty, with garbage everywhere.
Looking at the Dongping Mansion in front of us, although the ground is not spotless, it is almost there. There is not even a plastic bag or a rotten cigarette butt...
Oh, I got the wrong script. There shouldn't even be a rotten vegetable leaf or a mouthful of yellow thick phlegm!
If the bald man also came from time to time, he would definitely blurt out - Dongping Mansion must have some kind of control!
Although Dongping Mansion does not have any control, there are military police from the Yun Family Army.
This was also done by Yun Chao.
The military police are specifically used to maintain public order and are different from the soldiers of the Yun Family Army.
Don't think that just relying on a group of sweepers can make the city in order.
Without the cooperation of violent agencies, who would prey on a bunch of old ladies?
The military police of the Yun Family Army were actually the government officials of the Dawu Dynasty.
However, the reputation of government officials in the Dawu Dynasty was really bad. In order to leave a natural good impression on the people, Yun Chao called the personnel who maintained public security military police.
As for why he didn't follow the custom of later generations and call him Cha, of course it was to avoid the beast of harmony.
Don't make a fuss when you see any incongruous names in the future, often to avoid stepping on thunder.
The prosperous city appearance, the neat and clean clothes of the people, and the civilized and harmonious atmosphere of life simply blinded the eyes of everyone in the caravan.
Unfortunately, before everyone in the caravan could take a closer look, they were taken to a magnificent building next to the government office.
The bald man looked up at the huge plaque hanging upstairs, and the four golden characters of Yun's Trading Company came into view.
Such a magnificent building and a magnificent plaque. Could this be the headquarters of Yun's Trading Company?
The bald man guessed correctly, this was the headquarters of Yun's Trading Company built by Yun Chao.
Wu Deli happened to be having a meeting at the headquarters these days, otherwise he might not have been able to come to see them so soon.
Wu Deli had no airs at all and went outside the building to greet him personally.
After the two sides exchanged greetings, Wu Deli let everyone in the caravan go into the building.
They sat down with each other and exchanged some pleasantries before the bald man got down to business.
In fact, the bald man couldn't stand it anymore. Wu Deli is so damn tough, isn't he?
Although he knew whoever spoke first would be the last, the bald man still lost his patience.
"Shopkeeper Wu, I don't like beating around the bush. I'm here this time to prepare for long-term cooperation with your Yun's Trading Company. If you can give me a reasonable price for the goods you bring me, we will have a long-term cooperation." …”
When the two sides were chatting just now, the bald man had already introduced himself, saying that his surname was Lu, that he was a Han from the North, and that their caravan was also a caravan from the North.
The so-called Northern Han people are the Han people from the north.
The reason why I say this is to distinguish myself from the people of the Dawu Dynasty.
Because the living territory of the Han people in the North was not in the Dawu Dynasty, but in the Khitan Kingdom to the north of the Dawu Dynasty.
In other words, this caravan is not a caravan from the Dawu Dynasty, but a caravan from the Khitan Kingdom!
