Chapter 503: Conversation around the fire
It is said that the wine is fragrant and the mutton is on the stove. The distance between the Erhu brothers Chen Long, Zhuge Jin, Zhi Yuanduo, and Yi Jian's prostitutes is quickly shortened. After a few glasses of wine, Zhiyuan tried his best in his words, and seemed to have the intention of getting married.
Chen Long gradually understood that Liangzhou was originally a mixed race of ethnic groups who were constantly fighting with each other. They had been feuding for generations because of competition for pasture and resources. But in the face of this severe drought, many far-sighted leaders emerged, leading everyone to find a way to survive for the whole family, and the first choices were the wealthy Hanzhong and the fertile Yizhou.
The Central Plains was in chaos, and there was no unified political power to suppress the invasion of nomadic peoples. This indeed gave these surrounding ethnic minorities the opportunity to take advantage of the chaos and seize territory. However, his unexpected arrival in time travel will never allow the history of Wu Huan Hua to repeat itself. But how can this crisis be resolved?
A period of history such as the Wuhu Chaos in China, which has a profound impact on future generations, cannot be eliminated by Chen Long alone. Chen Long secretly gritted his teeth, either to quickly establish a unified empire, send all his tiger generals to defend and intimidate the border areas, completely defeat the aliens, and then bring them advanced animal husbandry technology to provide them with food and clothing; Adopt ethnic policies of differentiation and integration, sign a series of contracts, and even make peace between Hu and Han, recognize the legal status of ethnic minorities, and use treaty situations to determine their autonomous regions. Zhuge Liang pacified southern Shu and captured Meng Huo seven times, using the former; while Li Shimin treated nomadic people equally and used the latter. And I prefer the latter.
While Chen Long was pondering for a moment, the concubine Ekin kept staring at Chen Long with burning eyes. This man's martial arts skills are so strong. Although he calls himself a barbarian, his origin is unknown. It can be said that recruiting Zhiyuan Duo is too risky. Thinking of this, Yi Jian, the concubine who had been silent, suddenly said: "Brother Huaiyang, since you are doing business in Hanzhong, I heard that the weather there has been good this year and the grain harvest has been good. Many Qiang, Di and even Ba people who have suffered from drought have People gathered near Hanzhong to eat. How did the troops there treat the refugees?"
When Chen Long heard this, he put down the wine bowl in his hand, laughed and said, "Brother, I know this best. But, can you tell me first, who gave you the name Xiongtai?"
Zhuge Jin was taking half a sip of wine when he heard the words and couldn't help but spit it out, and quickly covered his mouth and nose with his hands. Ever since he knew the name Ekin Whore, he always wanted to laugh but didn't dare. Chen Long's gag immediately relaxed the atmosphere. The concubine Yijian was not angry at all and said with a smile: "Brother Huaiyang, I have to blame the Han family tea merchant who came from the tribe when I was a child. He changed my name to Huai Yang." The pronunciation of the idiom was translated into Chinese as "Ekin prostitute concubine". At that time, no one knew what it meant, so they quickly called it out. Later, I found out that the businessman was teasing me, but everyone got used to calling it smoothly, so they didn't change it and kept calling it until Now."
Chen Long laughed loudly and said: "I see. I have a gift to give to my brother, the concubine." Then Ekin, the concubine, asked in confusion: "What gift?"
Chen Long said: "Since it is the pronunciation of the name, I will give my brother two Chinese characters as a gift. These two characters are Ji Qing, which represents auspiciousness and joy, and also brings peace and harmony. It is a very good word and can replace the two characters of prostitute and concubine. "
Yi Jian, the prostitute, murmured Ji Qing several times and said happily: "Thank you so much, Brother Huaiyang, for giving me the name! From now on, I will be called Ji Qing!" Na Zhiyuan Duo also said happily: "Brother Ji Qing, congratulations! Come on, come on, changing your name is a big deal, you should drink a big bowl!" The three of them laughed and drank a bowl of grape wine together.
Putting down the wine bowl, Chen Long took the initiative and said: "I have been doing business in Hanzhong for many years and have seen many refugees entering. Most of them are Han people who came to avoid disasters due to the war in the Central Plains. Previously, the Five Pecks of Rice Sect advocated that although Lu was gentle, he adopted The policy of driving them to Yizhou. Later, Ma Chao stationed in Hanzhong and adopted the policy of Nanxiang Hou, giving the refugees wasteland to cultivate, and at the same time giving them light corvees and low taxes, allowing them to use their own labor to provide food and clothing. Two brothers, the younger brother has a word of advice, then Nanxiang Hou Chen Long's Qinglong Army is no joke. If you go to Hanzhong to settle down your tribe, it would be best if you have a pasture to be self-sufficient. Don't go to Longwangshu."
The meaning of "De Long Wang Shu" originally means that after having already obtained Long You, one still wants to capture Western Shu; it is a metaphor for trying to make an extra mile, being greedy and never being satisfied, and being greedy. In the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Kaixiao separatized the Long region, and Gongsun Shu separatized the Shu region. They both established themselves as kings. The two colluded with each other to fight against the imperial court. In the eighth year of Jianwu's reign, Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu and his general Cen Peng led an army to conquer Tianshui. Cen Peng and his general Wu Han surrounded Kaixiao in Xicheng. Gongsun Shu sent troops to rescue Wei Xiao and stationed them at Shanggui. Guangwu sent Gai Yan and Geng Bian to surround him, and then he returned to the east. Returning to Kyoto, Liu Xiu wrote to Cen Peng, saying: "If the two cities are defeated, we can lead our troops south to defeat the Shu captives. If the people are not satisfied, they will pacify Long and return to Shu." This means that after pacifying Long, we should not Satisfied, he immediately went south to pacify Shu. Later, "after defeating Long, looking forward to Shu" evolved into the idiom "taking Long to look forward to Shu", and the meaning also became to describe being too greedy and greedy.
Chen Long used this allusion to win Long Wang Shu, which is quite appropriate for the two brothers. Na Zhiyuanduo rolled his eyes, digesting the meaning of Chen Long's words. Although Hanzhong is rich, the Qinglong Army is in charge. How big a storm can Li Hu cause? If we can carve out a piece of land for the whole clan to survive, why bother to rebel and plunder? However, if I stay in Hanzhong and stay safe, will the person behind the whole incident let the whole clan live in peace? It's the tree that wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop! Zhiyuan Duo couldn't help but sigh slightly and drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp.
After several words, everyone had different moods, and the mutton and wine had been exhausted. Zhuge Jin stood up and said: "My lord, it's still early, why don't you set out to find your mistress?" Na Zhiyuan heard and said: "Just now I have a plan for Brother Huaiyang. If you want to enter Tianshui, I'm afraid your subordinates need to be broken into pieces. Moreover, with your outfit, I'm afraid you can't withstand interrogation."
Yijian Jiqing said: "I'll wait and set off together. When we meet tribesmen on the road, we can inquire about the whereabouts of the robbers and change our clothes. It will be much easier to enter Tianshui by dressing up as a member of our tribe."
Chen Long's heart trembled and he asked: "The barbarians from Lu Shui have come all the way. Can they enter and exit Tianshui freely?" Yi Jian Jiqing realized that he had said something wrong and hurriedly compensated: "The rich people in the city need slaves to raise cattle and raise cattle." Horses, for heavy work, are often hired by refugees from other places, just because the price is cheap and they just want a hot meal."
Chen Long nodded, secretly suspecting that these Lu Shui Hu people had come all the way here, and not only were they not driven away, the Tianshui guard actually allowed them to live in this valley, and even allowed the people in the city to hire them to work. Is there anything special behind this? s reason?
If you want to know what happens next, listen to the explanation next time.
