    In the early winter in the south of the Yangtze River, the vegetation is still green and the rivers are gurgling. If it were Yuan Feng's hometown, the bitter cold land in the northwest, the vegetation would already be withered and yellow, and the ground would be covered with frost.  In the past, the greatest swordsman in the northwest, who monopolized the salt, iron and tea horses, has now become the hero who unifies the north and south of the Yangtze River. Although there are still some remaining enemies, they can no longer be called a problem. With the financial and manpower of the big man, he can easily  Loose stool can be extinguished.  Nowadays, the wealth in the world is Jiangnan, Suzhou and Hangzhou are mature, and the world is rich. This sentence does not mean that Suzhou and Hangzhou produce a lot of grain, but that the economy in Jiangnan is developed. There are relatively many farmers working in textiles, ceramics, iron smelting machinery, and real cultivation.  On the contrary, there were fewer crops. The original physical tax implemented by the Zhou Dynasty required grain to be paid according to the area of ??land. Cotton and mulberry silkworms were mostly planted in the Jiangnan area. When it came time to pay taxes, they had to buy grain from various places. This created a situation where every time  During the harvest season, grain from other regions flows to the south of the Yangtze River.  The large-scale flow of goods and people has further prospered the economy of Jiangnan. Even the rich people in Jiangnan will not convert money into silver and hide it in cellars like rich people in other places. Instead, they will deposit it in banks to earn interest, and the economy will  It's about liquidity. With the money rolling in, there's no need to worry about Jiangnan not being rich.  The porcelain tea produced in the south of the Yangtze River is sold overseas. In addition to supplying the countries in the Western Regions to the west, it is also sold to the South and West by sea ships. Even the European countries that are half a year away from the trip have ordered porcelain in the south of the Yangtze River and put their family crests on them.  The designs were sent thousands of miles away, and the iron factories in Jiangnan were also very developed. The workers were highly skilled and had high smelting skills. They could also use water power to make steel. The imitation version of Western-style armor they produced was half the price of the same product in Italy.  , but the quality is even higher.  Yuan Feng captured the south of the Yangtze River, and his strength increased by leaps and bounds, more than tenfold. He reduced taxes, treated the people well, and issued more than a dozen decrees. After two or three years of war and the great changes of dynasties, the abnormal phenomenon of over-concentration of land was clearly eliminated.  It eased, the war subsided, the exiled people returned to their hometowns one after another, and the Han army officers and soldiers who were disarmed and returned to the fields were all assigned crop land that would exempt them from paying land taxes for five years. The people began to recuperate and recuperate, and the national strength slowly recovered. ?¡­ ?¡­ In Suzhou, the roads were paved with loess, and the streets and alleys were newly decorated. This was because the King of Han was coming here. The common people walked out of their homes and took to the streets to welcome the Holy King. Incense burners of various sizes were placed all over the ground.  In the welcoming team at the city gate, Xia Nanfeng and Mu Ying looked at each other speechlessly. You must know that not long ago, they were still plotting to assassinate Yuan Feng, but now they were standing here to welcome the King of Han as ministers.  ¡°I can¡¯t figure it out, why did we fail?¡± Mu Ying said with emotion.  "It's not that you don't understand, it's that the world is changing too fast." Xia Nan said something that sounded quite philosophical without turning away from the limelight.  The King of Han came to Suzhou not to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the water town, nor to find beauties from the south of the Yangtze River, but to find someone.  This person is the founder of the Southern Han Dynasty, Xia Qinxin's mother Xia Nanyu, and she is also the widow of the late emperor. In terms of seniority, Yuan Feng also has to call her mother.  According to the information collected by the Military Control Department, Xia Nanyu was a very scheming and persevering woman, and she did have an affair with Emperor Wu. This history was widely rumored at that time, and none of the parties involved has denied it, so it should not be false.  " If Emperor Wu hadn't died in mutiny, he would have already married Xia Nanyu into the palace, and Xia Qinxin was a serious princess. They and Yuan Feng were real relatives.  Outside the city of Gusu, there are pastoral huts, small bridges and flowing water. Xia Nanyu lives here in seclusion. The situation in Jiangnan has been decided. There is no need for her to hide in Tibet. She has already told her daughter in the capital the address and is waiting for her to visit her.  .  Xia Qinxin is here, and she also brings another guest, the current ruler of the world, the King of Han Liu Yuanfeng.  Nowadays, the elegant pastoral scenery is unbearable to destroy. Yuan Feng left the guards on the outside. He and Xia Qinxin walked into the pastoral. They saw a commoner peasant woman plowing in the field with a hoe. Her back was slim and slim, she seemed to be a girl.  .  Xia Qinxin rushed over, shouting as she ran, "Mom!" The woman turned her head, her eyes full of love and pity: "Xin'er, you're back." Yuan Feng stood still, carefully looking at this person without any  A famous folk concubine, she has a graceful appearance and a good figure. She looks more like her sister than Xia Qinxin's mother. Moreover, the gap between the two sisters is quite large. Xia Qinxin, who is in her early twenties, is not as good as the four sisters.  Mother of teenagers.  "Mom, the King of Hanhe's here." Xia Qin thought to herself.  "Oh" Xia Nanyu turned around and looked towards Yuan Feng. After just one glance, he was stunned. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Time flies, time flies, so many years have passed in the blink of an eye, but that person is still as young as the first time I saw him.    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Watch the Genuine Martial Arts Empire Xia Nanyu were in a trance for a moment and took two steps forward involuntarily.  He murmured: "Is it you? Are you back?" Realizing her mother's gaffe, Xia Qinxin quickly grabbed her and whispered: "Mom, this is the King of Han!" Xia Nanyu smiled calmly: "  Sure enough, he is the son of Sister Kuokuozhen. If you look closely, he looks a bit similar. " Even Yuan Feng's biological mother's name is known. He is indeed his father's old friend. Yuan Feng no longer doubted this and immediately said.  : "I've seen" It's hard to know what to call it.  Although Xia Nanyu helped her father give birth to a daughter, endured so many hardships, and devoted herself to avenging her father, she had no status after all.  As if guessing Yuan Feng's hesitation, Xia Nanyu smiled calmly again, like a narcissus blooming.  "Just call me Aunt Nan." It was noon, and the family just gathered together for a reunion dinner. In the shack, on the wooden slatted table, there were several farm side dishes. Although they were simple, they were extremely elegant and delicious.  Yuan Feng sat on the small bench, feeling a little embarrassed. Strong winds and waves had passed by, but this was the first time for him to be in such a warm and homely environment.  A small red clay stove was specially placed next to him. Xia Qinxin helped him fill a bowl of rice with a pottery bowl, placed it in front of him, and looked at him with a smile: "Eat." Although there are thousands of words in his heart, Yuan Feng  He picked up the rice bowl first: "Aunt Nan, Qin Xin, let's eat."  After the meal, the family gathered around the small stove, holding tea melon seeds, and began to reminisce about the past stories.  Turning back the clock thirty years, it was still the period of the Yuan Dynasty. Although the Southerners had a low status and belonged to the fifth class, by the end of the Yuan Dynasty, there were no clear boundaries. The wealthy Southerners were still as powerful as the Mongolians who had no money.  I can¡¯t eat it either.  The Xia family in Gusu is a well-known local rich man. They own hundreds of hectares of mulberry fields and thousands of looms. The business of silk and satin houses is spread all over the south of the Yangtze River. They even offer it as a tribute to most of the capital. They have considerable influence in the local area.  A daughter of the Xia family has just grown up. Although she is only fourteen years old, she is already as good as a flower. She is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Many talented people from the south of the Yangtze River flock to her, and the matchmaker can break the threshold of the Xia family.  "But Mr. Xia didn't want to marry off his daughter so early. He just kept his daughter in a boudoir. Miss Xia couldn't leave the house, and she rarely went out a few times a year.  In April of this year, Miss Xia went to Hanshan Temple outside the city to offer incense and fulfill her vows, but she met a strange man who influenced her life.  This man stood at the entrance of Hanshan Temple like a fool and jumped up and down, attracting a large crowd of people to watch. His style of clothing was extremely weird, short and short, and definitely not like people from the Middle Kingdom. Some idle men deceived him into losing his mind.  He wanted to drag him away and rob him of his property. Fortunately, Miss Xia was compassionate and ordered his servants to rescue him.  Miss Xia was only fourteen years old, which was the age for curiosity, so after paying homage to the Buddha, she asked questions in person in the Zen room. This young man with a strange background said that he was Saio from Funakoshi, and his name was probably  He is from Japan, and his Chinese is very weird. He can speak Mandarin with a slight Dadu flavor, and he can also speak Jiangnan dialect, but the flavor of this dialect is also somewhat mutated.  So Miss Xia called this person Funakoshi Saio. The man argued for a long time, but finally accepted it helplessly, and said that the name really suited him.  What's even more amazing is that the clothes on this person are very strange. The top does not have buttons, but is interlocked with extremely fine metal chains. The styles and materials of the pants and shoes are also unheard of. There are seven or eight things on his body.  A bag filled with all kinds of weird but useless gadgets.  Miss Xia was playful and thought she had found a treasure, so she took the homeless man back to Xia's house. The boy was happy to do this. He peeked at Miss Xia from time to time and muttered silly things like "Loli is so cute".  talk.  The young lady went out to burn incense and unexpectedly brought a man back, which aggravated the mood of Mr.  Can diagnose diseases for old ladies.  They didn't believe his lies at first, but after he showed a few magical treasures, everyone believed that he had indeed returned from overseas travels and had been taught by an expert in the Penglai Fairy Mountain.  The old lady sees a doctor.  This man didn't know how to feel the pulse at all, so he just took out a small glass bottle from his body, saying it was a fairy medicine that could cure all diseases. Everyone was impressed by the exquisiteness of the small bottle, and the old lady was even more convinced that it was a magical elixir that could cure all diseases.  After decoction of the roots and taking it, it was really cured.  So, Funakoshi Saio, who came from overseas, worked as a second-class servant in the Xia family and began what he called "ancient life".??.  This man has a lot of clever ideas. He helped the Xia family improve the jacquard weaving machine, which increased the weaving efficiency tenfold. The Xia family's business was booming. At the same time, his status was also constantly improving, from a second-class servant to a steward.  Mr. Xia originally admired this young man and even wanted to give him a maid. However, this man actually had evil intentions and hooked up with the young lady by relying on poems he plagiarized from who knows where.  They were in love, and a good match was made in heaven, but how could Mr. Xia tolerate his daughter marrying a poor boy of unknown origin, and the boy's value was almost squeezed out, so he cruelly broke them up and drove him away.  When leaving, Miss Xia gave him her precious jewelry as a gift, and the young man also gave him a personal item as a token, and the two parted in tears.  Later, as Miss Xia grew up, there were more matchmakers, and Mr. Xia also fell in love with several candidates and wanted to marry off his daughter. Who knew that Miss Xia refused to get married and even threatened her with death.  A few years later, the little girl grew up into a beautiful young lady, and Funakoshi Saio, who had worked as a second-class servant, finally came back.  However, his identity is different now. He is already a famous national hero, the Emperor Wu of Han who expelled the Tartars from dominating the Central Plains!  And his name has also changed. There is no Funakoshi Saio in the world anymore, only Liu Che and Liu Ziguang.  Emperor Wu went to Jiangnan incognito for a private visit just to relive his old dream. After so many years, Xia Nanyu still has not forgotten him. On the first night of meeting, the two went to Wushan together, and they became pregnant.  Papers can't keep fire. After Mr. Xia found out about this, he secretly rejoiced, thinking that he had climbed to a high branch. Unexpectedly, before waiting for the team to pick up the bride, a mutiny broke out in the capital. The emperor died, and Xia also died together.  The master¡¯s dream to be the father-in-law.  With the change of dynasties, the Han Dynasty became the Zhou Dynasty. Seeing that his daughter began to vomit and eat acid, Master Xia saw this and became anxious in his heart. He strictly ordered his daughter to have an abortion and get married!  When the conflict between father and daughter reached its peak, Xia Nanyu ran away on a rainy night and drowned himself unsuccessfully. However, he survived and relied on his intelligence and perseverance to raise his children and create his own sky.  This is the story of Xia Nanyu and Emperor Wu. It is not as simple and blunt as everyone imagines, but it is bizarre, twists and turns, and touching. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Unfortunately, this story is always a tragedy.  ¡­ After the story was told, there was a long silence. Xia Qinxin¡¯s eyes were filled with tears, and Yuan Feng was also sighing.  "Father, he is really a legendary person." Xia Qinxin said softly.  Xia Nanyu smiled: "My child, actually, mother lied to you. He is not your father at all, and mother is not your biological mother." Xia Qin was stunned: "I don't believe it! This is impossible!" Xia Nanyu said  : "My and his child died when he was three months old. You are the orphan I picked up and have been raised as my own flesh and blood." Xia Qinxin finally understood why she was not as good-looking as her mother. It turned out that  So, but she was a little happy. The uncle was really right. Since she and Yuan Feng are not related by blood, wouldn't it be possible "So, what is the token that my father left for you? You can let me  Do you want to take a look?" Yuan Feng asked cautiously.  There are very few things left by my father. Except for a "Tianshan Blue Lotus", it is the Iron Age book. Now any clues left by my father are important clues and cannot be let go.  Xia Nanyu smiled slightly: "I knew you would want to see it. I have treasured this thing for a long time. Even in the most difficult times, I never thought of pawning it. I will show it to you." A red brocade box was held by  Opening it solemnly, there was a small square box inside. It was made of brushed metal and inlaid with blue glass. It was exquisite and unparalleled. There was also a strange soft cord with two weird little things connected at the end of the cord.  There are four dull Western characters on the small box: oppo
