Chapter 460 Qingzhou-Youzhou-Yizhou
After more than half a month of trekking through mountains and rivers, Liu Ping'an finally arrived at a port leading to the capital of Daqian. Yes, in the past half month, Liu Ping'an's thousand-layer soles have been worn out several times. Finally, he arrived at the largest port in Qingzhou.
In this era without railways and roads, the most developed and convenient means of transportation is undoubtedly ships. As the largest port in Qingzhou, half of Qingzhou's foreign trade is completed through this Qingzhou Port every year. Qiantang has been prosperous since ancient times, and a large part of the reason is the convenient and fast water transportation.
Qingzhou is the northernmost state of Daqian. Further north is an endless desert. This is because there is a towering Qinglian Mountain Range on the border of Qingzhou. It isolates the moisture from the north of Qingzhou, which creates a desert climate environment in the desert north of Qingzhou. Of course, this is just what Liu Pingan heard, and he did not experience it himself.
When Taizu of Daqian was expanding the territory, he led his army for more than half a month but still could not get out of the endless desert. That's why he designated the Qinglian Mountains on the border of Qingzhou as the border of Daqian in Qingzhou.
It is difficult for plants to survive in the desert, and neither is it for humans. Although there are some small tribes that rely on oases for survival, the population is sparse and is far from posing any threat to the border of Qingzhou.
Moreover, the Qinglian Mountains selfishly directed all the rivers it created to Qingzhou, and no rivers were created to the north. This also made Qingzhou the most prosperous state in Daqian besides the inland Zhongzhou. At the same time, the tall Qinglian Mountains also isolated Qingzhou from the cold air from the northwest in winter. All the fortune fell on Qingzhou south of the Qinglian Mountains.
Before the founding of Daqian, Qingzhou was known as the Jiangnan on the Great Wall.
Since the establishment of Daqian a thousand years ago, except for a period of turmoil in Qingzhou during the reign of Emperor Wu, this huge Qingzhou has never been troubled by foreign invasions.
Moreover, Qingzhou is far away from Zhongzhou where the capital is located. For so many years, it has been regarded as a paradise in Daqian. However, no matter what era it is, the people at the bottom of society will never live a good life.
Although Qingzhou was not troubled by foreign invasions, Youzhou, which was adjacent to Qingzhou, had been plagued by wars since the founding of the Daqian Dynasty. Because of the isolation of the Qinglian Mountains, the water vapor from the sea could not reach it, which created an endless desert ecological environment in the north of Qingzhou.
The Qinglian Mountains can be said to be a sacred mountain in the hearts of all the native Qingzhou people. Many places have the custom of offering sacrifices to Qinglian Mountain every year. Just like the New Year, it has never been interrupted even in the war years.
The reason why Qinglian Mountain is called this name is a very traditional and old-fashioned story. It is because there is a kind of Qinglian in the Qinglian Mountains, which has a very good medicinal effect. It is specially used to treat diseases such as headaches and fevers. The effect is much more effective than cold medicines and the like. Moreover, it is a pure natural herb and does not need to be processed. At the same time, it also has the effect of removing internal heat. It can be brewed with tea to remove heat and relieve internal heat. The effect is much better than a certain old Ji that is afraid of getting internal heat.
Therefore, there are no other cold medicines for sale in Qingzhou, only the green lotus seeds produced in the Qinglian Mountains. At the same time, Liu Ping'an also learned that the green lotus seeds are also a special medicine for the Daqian army. The mountain people in Qingzhou can go to the mountains to pick green lotus seeds, dry them, and then hand them over to the Qingzhou government to offset taxes.
This made the large amount of cold medicines Liu Ping'an brought from the Siheyuan world useless, and he could only put them back into his own space to collect dust.
Next to Qingzhou to the east is Youzhou. This Youzhou is different and a bit miserable. Without the protection of the Qinglian Mountains, there is an endless grassland to the north, where nomadic peoples of all sizes live. There have been constant wars for thousands of years.
Fortunately, with Qingzhou next door as its backyard, Youzhou has never been lost in the past thousand years of Daqian. However, every winter after the snow, the nomadic peoples of the northern grasslands would go south to plunder the food that the people of Youzhou depended on for survival.
By the way, they also plundered women and children. Women and children are also an important resource on the grassland, more valuable than gold. They can be exchanged for food and supplies.
Further east of Youzhou is Yizhou, which is close to the sea. Yizhou is located further north than Youzhou and Qingzhou, and has a colder climate.
Like Qingzhou, Yizhou is also covered by mountains in the north. Although not as tall and long as the Qinglian Mountains, it also protects the entire northern part of Yizhou. Because the top is covered with snow all year round, it has never melted and is connected. It is like a white dragon that has been entrenched on the border of Yizhou from ancient times to the present. This mountain range is figuratively called the White Dragon Mountains by the locals.
Of the three northern continents of Daqian, only the miserable Youzhou has been in constant war for years. It was only during the reigns of Daqian Taizu and Daqian Wudi that it was peaceful for a while. Of course, bullying the weak and fearing the strong is an old tradition.
However, these have nothing to do with Liu Pingan. He has already arrived at Qingzhou Port. As long as he finds another ship to Zhongzhou Capital, he can go directly to the capital.
However, even though we were going downstream, the journey would still take more than twenty days, almost thirty days.
He found an inn to rest for a while. Liu Pingan changed into clothes from the 80s in his room and planned to go back to the Siheyuan world first. He would prepare the goods and see if there were any valuable things in the third world that were easy to get now. He would also become a dealer between the two worlds and make a good profit from the price difference.
There is another key factor, that is, it is almost the end of the month in Siheyuan World. It is time to pay the three employees of my supermarket. After all, they work for me to make money.
When Liu Ping'an returned to the courtyard world, it was already dark. The two employees of the supermarket had already gone home after get off work. At this moment, the supermarket was closed.
However, Liu Ping'an has the key, so this doesn't matter.
I took out the accountant's book to check the income for this month. Liu Pingan was getting angrier and angrier. What's the matter? I have such a big supermarket. Although I don't have many products, I can't make enough profit to pay the three of you!
After counting the items sold in the supermarket, I think the profit should be at least 500 or 600 yuan!
You, the profit calculated in the account book is only less than 150 yuan, what do you mean? Do you think that your boss Liu doesn't even have an elementary school diploma in this world and doesn't know arithmetic?
