Originating from the Red River in Longhu Mountain, Dali, Yunnan Province, the water is bright red because of the red sand shale strata in the basin, which is very special, and has the same beauty as the famous Jinsha River.

It is like a meandering red dragon that flows through 17 counties in Yunnan Province, eventually joins the Annam Yue Pond, wades through the famous Red River Delta, and finally joins the Beibu Gulf and enters the South China Sea.

Intra Thanh Hanoi, Annam District, is located in the northwest of the Red River Delta, on the right bank of the Red River. The red river flows slowly past the city, and the whole city is surrounded by the red river embankment.

Hence the name "Hanoi".

It is an ancient city with a history of 1,000 years, and it has been the political, economic and cultural center of Annam since the 11th century AD.

It has to be said that this city has a lot of roots with China and is the homeland of China.

In 111 B.C., Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty set up Jiaozhi County, and Hanoi was within its scope. The Song dynasty of the Northern and Southern Dynasties set up Song Binh County in the Hanoi area and ruled Changguo County. In the Sui Dynasty, it was changed to Songping County, which was the seat of Jiaozhi County.

Hanoi was founded in 621 A.D., Songping County under the jurisdiction of the Annam Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty, and was the political, economic and cultural center of northern Annam at that time.

In the late Tang Dynasty, Hanoi became the residence of the Jing Navy Jiedu Envoy.

Why is Hanoi so high in Annam?

The terrain of Annam is long and narrow, a bit like a capital "S", the territory is full of mountain peaks, the mountains are long, bounded by Haiyun Mountain, divided into south and north, and the climate of the two places is very different.

Whether from the south to the north, or from the interior to the coast, Hanoi is a must-stop, with a very important geographical location and the largest river port in the north.

That's why Hanoi became the center of Annam.

Hanoi in the game is also a majestic city, because it is influenced by Chinese culture, it is also divided into an inner city and an outer city, and the inner city is divided into three parts: the forbidden city, the imperial city and the capital.

The place where the king, his concubines, his descendants, and his attendants lived was called the Forbidden City; Surrounding the forbidden city was the imperial city, the seat of the offices of the courtiers; Outside the Imperial City, the neighborhoods, markets, and residential areas are the capital.

The imperial garden garden in the imperial city, the scenery is beautiful, the buildings and palaces in the forbidden city are splendid, the pagoda in the capital is towering, the temples are numerous, the architectural style is influenced by the Tang culture, there is a classical beauty.

At the same time, the inland part of the river is located in the subtropics, because of the proximity to the Beibu Gulf, the climate is pleasant, the four seasons are like spring, the rainfall is abundant, the flowers and trees are luxuriant, and the flowers are in full bloom, known as the "Spring City of Hundred Flowers".

Several wide, straight streets in the city, centered on Hoan Kiem Lake, extend in a radial pattern to all sides, and tall trees grow on both sides of the streets.

The street names of the capital are very interesting, named after the lines, such as leather shops, copper shops, cotton shops, sugar shops, hemp shops, peach shops, sail shops, etc., leather shops shop shop for leather goods, and copper shop shop shop for bronze.

Every street is basically controlled by the big chamber of commerce.

Pihang Street, Tongchun store.

The owner of the Chamber of Commerce is surnamed Chen, who was born in a famous merchant family in Hanoi, not only dealing in leather goods, but also involving copper, cotton, sugar and other industries.

Two months ago, the Tongchun Chamber of Commerce ushered in a mysterious merchant, saying that there was a way to help the Tongchun Chamber of Commerce transport goods to the Great Xia Dynasty to sell and earn high profits.

But this man is true to his word.

On the eve of the Spring Festival, the first batch of goods arrived at Beihai Port smoothly, making Boss Chen make a lot of money.

Businessmen are born to pursue profit.

"Capital" said: "If there is a 50% profit, capital dares to take risks; For the sake of 100% profit, capital dares to trample on all human laws; With a 300% profit, capital dares to commit any crime, even at the risk of hanging his head. ”

In view of the tense relationship between Annam and Great Xia, the lord of Haiphong City, Nguyen Tien Que, had already said that he would prohibit any chamber of commerce from conducting maritime trade with Great Xia, and violators would be severely punished.

This prohibition applies not only to the Chamber of Commerce in Hai Phong City, but also to the Chamber of Commerce in Intra City.

As the only remaining lord in the wilderness of Annam, Nguyen Tien Que's words are still very weighty, and in recent years, there has been no trade between Annam and Great Xia.

It is precisely because of this that once the trade is carried out secretly, the profits are surprisingly high, comparable to smuggling.

It's not that the large and small chambers of commerce in Hanoi haven't thought about secretly trading with Great Xia, but the entire Beibu Gulf is within the patrol range of the Great Xia Navy, and without the help of high-ranking people, their merchant ships can't get close to Beihai Port at all.

Tasting the sweetness, Boss Chen didn't care what kind of means this newly-acquainted merchant had in Daxia, and directly commensurate him with brothers, as soon as the Lantern Festival ended, he prepared a batch of goods to prepare for the second transaction.

This time, the cargo was loaded with five merchant ships and traveled south along the Red River.

Looking at the caravan down the river, Boss Chen couldn't hide his greedy expression, and a trace of fanaticism flashed in his eyes. According to the current situation, if this secret trade route is maintained, the Tongchun Chamber of Commerce will rise rapidly.

It is not impossible to become the largest chamber of commerce in Hanoi.

Just when Boss Chen was thinking about making another fortune, something happened suddenly. I don't know why, and I don't know who leaked the news, but when the caravan, which was originally extremely secret, passed through Haiphong City, it was suddenly stopped.

The judicial yamen of Haiphong City investigated and sent someone for the first trial, and the news that the Tongchun Chamber of Commerce was suspected of violating the territorial ban and trading with Daxia without permission was immediately revealed.

When Nguyen Tien Que got the news, he was so angry that his nose was smoking, and he not only detained five ships of goods, but also arrested all the people and brought them to justice, and tried these people according to the laws of Haiphong City.

If nothing else, it is estimated that the death penalty will be imposed directly.

The leader of the caravan is Boss Chen's second son, who is extremely shrewd and capable. After getting the news, Boss Chen's face turned pale with fright, and he pleaded for intercession everywhere, hoping that Ruan Tianque would open up.

However, Ruan Tianque was determined to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys, and he didn't show any affection at all. The Great Xia Dynasty is the biggest taboo in Ruan Tianque's heart, and it is the existence that makes him have nightmares all the time.

Whoever touches this taboo, Ruan Tianque will die.

Even the royal family of Annam was in collusion with Ruan Tianque, not only turning a blind eye to Boss Chen's bitter pleading, but also using this as an excuse to list the Chen family's crimes of treason with the enemy and to raid the Tongchun Chamber of Commerce.

At this moment, Boss Chen was really in a desperate situation.

At this moment, the mysterious merchant reappeared and found Boss Chen.

"You still have a face! Say, you didn't leak the news to Haiphong City, you are trying to push me into the fire pit. As soon as Boss Chen saw this person, he immediately became angry and his face was hideous.

He had long forgotten that when the caravan departed, the two were still called brothers.

The mystery merchant was very calm, "Why should I leak the secret, what good will it do me?" Besides, if I leaked the secret, would I still be stupid enough to see you again? ”

"This ......"

Boss Chen's expression froze, "This matter is extremely secret, if it weren't for you, who else would it be?" ”

"I think there's a ghost."

"Inner ghost?!" A cold light flashed in Boss Chen's eyes.

The mysterious merchant explained: "This transaction is only known to the people of the Tongchun Chamber of Commerce, and it is difficult to guarantee that there are no spies from other chambers of commerce. Your sworn enemies see that you are going to make a fortune, and how can they not put you to death? ”

"I was careless!"

Boss Chen closed his eyes in pain, he was ready to accept his fate, since ancient times, business has not been in official fights, this time it was planted in the hands of Haiphong City and the royal family at the same time, he was really powerless.

The mysterious merchant smiled slightly, "It's not like things haven't taken a turn for the better. ”

"What is the best plan for my brother?" When Boss Chen heard this, he immediately came to his senses, and his fat body jumped up from the chair quickly, "As long as my brother helps me through this difficulty, I will be grateful." ”

Don't talk about thanks, as long as you can escape this catastrophe, you can ask Boss Chen to call your father.

The mystery merchant asked rhetorically, "Who are you doing business with?" ”

"Great Xia." Boss Chen blurted out.

After being stunned for a moment, Boss Chen came back to his senses, and his expression instantly became depressed and sluggish, "You don't mean to ask me to ask Daxia for help, right?" How can people ignore me. ”

In the eyes of Boss Chen, Daxia is such a behemoth, with tens of thousands of merchants coming and going, how could he negotiate with Annan for a smuggling merchant.

"How do you know if you don't try." The mysterious merchant was seductive and said with a smile: "It just so happens that I know a high-ranking official of the Great Xia Commercial Bureau, as long as you write a distress letter and explain the reason, I can help you present it." Daxia has always attached importance to free trade, and paid more attention to the protection of the Chamber of Commerce, and it will not care about your life or death. ”

Boss Chen has been forced into a desperate situation, and at this time he can only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, gritted his teeth, and wrote a earnestly worded distress letter according to the guidance of the mysterious merchant.

Handing over the distress letter to the mysterious merchant, Boss Chen said earnestly: "Please, as long as you can solve this crisis, you will be my father and the great benefactor of the Tongchun Chamber of Commerce in the future." ”

The mysterious merchant smiled secretly in his heart, and after a short conversation, this person's name changed several times, and he was really a businessman's face.

On the surface, the mysterious merchant remained silent, put away the distress letter, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'll rush to Shanhai City immediately now, and wait for my good news." ”

"Please!"

…………

In the following week, Boss Chen looked through the autumn water.

On March 15, things finally took a turn for the better. Relying on Boss Chen's distress letter, Daxia Honglu Temple sent a letter of negotiation to the royal family of Annam and Haiphong City through official diplomatic channels, hoping that Annam would respect the right of the Chamber of Commerce to free trade and try the case in accordance with international trade rules.

If you really want to say that according to Honglu Temple, it is just a confiscation of some fines.

When the royal family of Annam received a letter of negotiation from Great Xia, they hesitated and left a special envoy from Honglu Temple, stating that they would give a reply to Great Xia after serious discussion.

What about Ruan Tianque? Directly and angrily tore up the negotiation letter to shreds.

"Insult, this is naked-naked!" Ruan Tianque shouted angrily.

If he really agreed to Da Xia's request, Ruan Tianque was afraid that he would lose the prestige of Annan; But if you don't agree, I'm afraid that you will immediately face the aftermath of Great Xia, and Ruan Tianque is in a dilemma for a while.
