Chapter 821 (1/2)
A good heavy bow was put in a red cloth tray and presented in front of Li Hong. Someone who understood what to do next, reached out to pick up the heavy bow, and then pointed out the six kings with the back of the bow. Then xinulu held the burning arrow in his hand, and respectfully walked over to Li Hong and knelt down in front of Li Hong, waiting for Li Hong to take the arrow away.
When Li Hong tried his best to pull the arrow with his bow, the people around him burst into applause and cheers like a tsunami when Li Hong had exhausted all his strength to stretch the full moon, which greatly raised a huge wave of Erhai Lake in the distance, which was about to blend into the night.
Naturally, Li Hong didn't have to aim at the mountain like bonfire. No matter how bad his archery was, he could shoot even with his eyes closed.
As Li Hong's hand was released, the arrow with the firelight was like a fire dragon, leaving a bright shadow in the night sky, and then it could not enter the bonfire.
At the moment, the whole temple fell into the fire of two huge rockets.
Under the leadership of the five Zhao kings, such as Xi nuluo, cheering and congratulation sounded again like a tsunami. After Xi nuluo and the five Zhao kings knelt down in front of Li Hong and made unconditional submission, the officials and rich merchants of the six imperial edicts around also knelt down at the same time to welcome Li Hong with their unique etiquette.
Singing and dancing continue to ring, bright and crisp but can not understand the song, with a simple and primitive flavor, fierce and clumsy dance movements, also like slowed down the speed of fighting action, hands in the fire light shining in the light of light, is dancing back and forth.
Several people accompanied Li Hong to drink wine and introduce Nanzhao officials to salute Li Hong. All of these were to set off Li Hong's nobility and authority with a low attitude, and also to show the respect of Nanzhao to the Tang Dynasty.
Now Nanzhao has followed the official system of the Tang Dynasty. In addition to the Xi nuluo, king of Yunnan, which was granted by the Tang Dynasty, there are five other imperial edicts. Now, Nanzhao has the same status as the Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty.
Under him were twelve generals, collectively known as the twelve generals. Today, Li Hong only saw six of them, and the other half were private soldiers equivalent to the six imperial princes. They were also a force of self-protection to check and balance each other.
As for Liubu, which also imitated the official system of the Tang Dynasty, they were called LiuCao.
Other local officials were equal to the state capital status of the Tang Dynasty, but in addition to the Taihe city controlled by xinulu, there were two so-called Dudu Fu, which were the two imperial edicts second only to the power of Xi nuluo. The military system also copied the Fu Bing system of the early Tang Dynasty, so that they did not have to worry about too much military expenditure in the early Tang Dynasty.
When the banquet in front of the ancestral hall was still in cheering, the dark shadows began to sneak into the place where the futu camp was located.
The small eyes of xinulu are shining with a subtle and sharp look, while Li Hong is listening to the whispers of the governor of Tonghai Prefecture, that is, shilangzhao, one of the five imperial edicts.
”Is that true?” Li Hong turned to Shi langzhao and asked with a smile.
”Your Highness knows that I dare not say half a word of falsehood. There is a lot of evidence in the hands of these ministers about the smuggling of grain, iron ware and salt industry between xinulu and Zhenla all year round.” Shi Lang Zhao glanced at Xi Nu Luo not far away.
Li Hong refused Shi langzhao and pushed a woman dressed in flowery clothes beside him. Ignoring the woman's bitter eyes, Li Hong continued to ask: ”in the land of Liuzhao, rice is cooked every year, barley is planted after receiving the goods, while wheat is planted in gangling and harvested at the same time. With mulberry, hemp, salt, kapok and so on, it is good that Liuzhao can not ask for grain every year like the imperial court How could it be smuggled to Zhenla
Shi langzhao was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that in just a few days, the prince of the Tang Dynasty had thoroughly understood the irrigation and water conservancy of Liuzhao, as well as the salt and tea that they relied on most.
His eyes flickered, but he still said calmly: ”the Tonghai governor's office under the jurisdiction of Huichuan and his ministers has always been dominated by salt and tea, followed by mulberry and hemp. However, Xi nuluo is the king of Yunnan, and Tonghai also has important officials in his heart. As the governor of Tonghai, he has to obey, so there is no way to stop the smuggling of salt and tea.”
”Where does his food come from? It must be very difficult to collect income from the general rent of the Tang Dynasty? ” Li Hong glanced at the corner of his eyes. When he met his eyes, he immediately softened his face. After smiling at himself, he began to drink and sing with the people next to him.
”To tell you the truth, your highness, I know the main purpose of your coming here. The officialdom of jiannandao is a time of many things. But you have been in jiannandao for a full month. It's impossible for xinulu not to know that your highness did it, let alone...”
Shi Lang Zhao looked at Li Hong's side face in the light of the fire. After pondering over it, he continued: ”I have only one request, and I hope your highness can agree.”
