Everyone believed Liu Xin's words and was skeptical. In their eyes. The barbarians are very unreasonable. There is no faith at all.
Recently. Liu Xin lived in Wuling City. In addition to allowing people to constantly listen to the movements of the barbarians. He didn't make any movements. Ling'er still massages him every night. The small movements on his hands were even bolder than that night in Gangneung. But Liu Xin never found the feeling of that night again. After all, he is worried. I don't know if Fengyuan will come. Is your own words too full? He is not afraid of using force. Just this way. I don't know how many young lives I want to catch.
Liu Xin was anxious. On the surface, you have to be calm and composed. It was like this for five days. Kuailiang walked in happily. Said: "The lord is really like a god. See you by Feng Yuanbiao."
Feng Lie had few rivals in the clan. To come from high arrogance. Unexpectedly, he was captured alive after walking a round under Zhang Fei's hands. Then he was fisted by Dian Wei. And Dian Wei didn't seem to use all his strength yet. Especially Dianwei. Feng Lie was hit head-on with the brute force that Feng Lie was best at. Let Feng Lie completely convinced.
After Feng Lie was captured. Feng Yuan and his family are anxious like ants on a hot pot. If Feng Lie had something good or bad. Fengjia is about to end. in fact. Feng Yuan also has a daughter. But the barbarians are the same as the Han. It is also passed on from male to female. His mood at the moment can be imagined. To come out of the family. A battle with the Han army. It may annoy the Han army. Killed his son with a single knife. If you just stand still. I don't know whether his son is alive or dead in the hands of the Han army.
that's all. Fengyuan stayed up all night. Before dawn. Feng Lie suddenly returned to the village. The whole family is overjoyed. Wait until he listens to Feng Lie's story. Could not help but fall into contemplation.
This is not the first time that Fengyuan has rebelled against the flag. When Cao Yu was the prefect of Wuling. Soldiers have also been sent out many times. The result is a big defeat every time. Don't compromise with the barbarians. Lin Zhen happened. Fengyuan has re-implemented the old plan. Unexpectedly. The Han army came back in a fierce manner. There were several battles in succession. The barbarians are defeated. The casualties were heavy. This Han army is well equipped. Fighting bravely. It's in the jungle battle that the barbarians are best at. Not letting the wind fall. It is completely different from the Han army encountered in the past. Now the barbarians in Wuling County have mostly focused on Fengjiazhai. People eat horses and chew every day. The consumption is huge. The Han army surrounded the village and did not leave. If sending troops is not their opponent. The people sent to Lingling and Guiyang counties for help did not reply. Feng Yuan was already anxious. Will agree with his son's view of robbing camp. The war this time was not resolved well. From now on, the position of the Feng family among the barbarians. It will go from bad to worse. There is no place for them anymore. Feng Yuan had several discussions with the elders. hard to decide. At this moment. Someone came to report. The Han army really retreated fifteen miles to Xiazhai. This is so cruel. Decided to go to Wuling to see Liu Xin. So it dragged on for many days.
Liu Xin got the news. Naturally, I was overjoyed. Quickly walk out of the house. But he saw an old man with gray beard outside the door kneeling on the ground. He bound his hands. A thick-mouthed tree stick was tied on his back. Feng Lie and a young girl knelt beside the old man.
Feng Lie saw Liu Xin walking out. He quickly attached it to the old man's ear and said a few words. The old man said loudly: "Caomin Fengyuan came to ask for the crime. I beg your lord to punish him."
The weather in early spring was still a bit chilly. Liu Xin hurriedly stepped forward to help the old man up. Take off the robe and put it on him. Said: "The patriarch. What are you doing? I invited you to drink. Let him pass the past."
Feng Yuan listened to Liu Xin's words. Excitedly said: "My lord. Sinners have heard of you Han people have a story called'Bearing the thorns, please." The sinners also come to bear the thorns today. Please let the sires take this thorn tree and beat the sinners."
"The patriarch. You have to bear Jing to plead guilty. It is enough to carry a bundle of thorns. Why do you want to tie such a thick stick. It is not a joke with it." Liu Xin couldn't help but laugh. This is probably an enhanced version of Negative Pleasure. He helped Feng Yuan untie the rope on his body. While facing Feng Lie and the girl who were kneeling on the ground, he said, "You all get up too."
Feng Yuan pointed towards these two. Said: "This is a pair of sons and daughters of the sinner. Today I will bring them to the adult as a hostage. My Wuling Pu clan will be sent by an adult from now on.
Feng Lie was let go by Liu Xin. He knew it naturally. The girl next to Feng Lie. Liu Xin has also guessed that it may be Fengyuan's daughter. Liu Xin only thought that Feng Yuan had brought his children. They pleaded guilty to him together. Unexpectedly, he sent his children as hostages. This surprised Liu Xin. In fact, this kind of thing is very common among barbarians. There are also frequent battles between the various tribes within the barbarian. In order to quell conflicts, it is also common to bet against each other. Of course. Feng Yuan dare not ask Liu Xin to proton each other. To show sincerity. Also brought her daughter here.
Came to Wuling for many days. It was the first time Liu Xin saw a barbarian woman. Can't help but look up and down the girl. If just look at the appearance. It is not very different from the Han people. Fair skin. Beautiful appearance. His big black eyes were watery. Seductive. Looks nothing like her brother. Liu Xin nodded secretly. People say that pretty girls are passionate. Sure enough. Light those eyes. It's easy for a man to see it. The feminine sentiment is different from that of the Han people. The girl saw Liu Xin look at herself. Not shy. Instead, she smiled at him. Coquettish infinite.
Liu Xin has seen a lot of beautiful women. This immunity is still there. He nodded slightly. Said: "Patriarch Feng. Don't stand at the door. Let's go in and talk together."
Feng Lie suddenly shouted, "General Dian."
Dianwei was about to turn around with Liu Xin. I heard Feng Lie calling him. Remember that Feng Lie said that day. As long as you don't die, you will come back to find him. Can not help clenching his fists. Said: "Why. You still refuse to admit defeat. Then let's try again."
Feng Lie hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Stop fighting. Stop fighting. I'll take it. Can the general take a step to speak? I have something I want to talk to the general."
Dian Wei does not know why. Look at Liu Xin. Liu Xin had nothing to worry about. So he smiled and said: "Evil comes. You take them to the side hall to rest first. I have a good talk with the old patriarch."
This is a long talk. It has been talking about dusk from morning. Liu Xincai and Feng Yuan walked out of the study with smiles on their faces. Even lunch is sent to the study to be eaten while talking.
original. Most of the barbarians live in the mountains and forests. There are also a small number of fields. But the main thing is to hunt in the forest. Picking mountain products for a living. Lack of supplies in the mountains. Clothing worn on the body. Pig iron for making knives and axes. There are also daily necessities such as salt. All have to go outside the mountain to buy. Barbarian women with a little status also wear a lot of silver jewelry. Items such as gold and silver. It is very valuable even among Han Chinese. It takes a lot of money to buy these things. Selling mountain products and fur to the Han people became the main source of income for the barbarians.
For a long time. The trade between barbarians was monopolized by a few gentry families. These gentry families have official support behind them. Often work together to lower the prices of mountain products and fur. You can make huge profits by changing hands. In addition to customs, habits, temperament and other reasons. Inequality in trade. It is also an important factor in the frequent recurrence of Han-Man relations.
No matter the savage. Everyone wants to live a better life. and. In Liu Xin's view. Everyone has the right to live a better life. Figured it out. Things will be easier. Liu Xin has always advocated fair competition. It has been repeatedly emphasized that the government only strictly manages the market. It cannot interfere with buyers and sellers. This is also an important reason why Jingzhou's commerce is increasingly developed.
A long talk. Liu Xin has a very deep understanding of the living conditions of the barbarians and their needs. A number of commitments have also been made.
past. The government does not allow barbarians to enter the city to trade on their own. It must be acquired by Hanshang. Of course. The barbarians are also unable to organize large-scale caravans. Transport a lot of mountains and furs to various places. This situation. Liu Xin is not clear. but. The road in Jingzhou is now flat and wide. It extends in all directions. The barbarians only need to transport mountain products and fur out of the forest. It can be easily delivered to counties and counties. Liu Xin has agreed. The barbarians are allowed to trade freely throughout Jingzhou. Enjoy the same rights as Han merchants. Just pay taxes according to the regulations.
Except for the nobility. Most barbarians do not understand Chinese. It is bound to bring inconvenience to the barbaric trade. Feng Yuan just raised this question. Liu Xin immediately promised to send some scholars into various villages. Teaching Chinese, Chinese characters and some Han customs. On this aspect. Liu Xin couldn't ask for it. Cultural input and exchanges are more likely to bring about a sense of national identity.
The fuse for this incident. In fact, it involves the issue of Hanman intermarriage. on this problem. Liu Xin is in favor. After all, he is from a later life. The view of marriage is very different from that of people in this era. The population of the Barbarians in Jingzhou is only over 100,000. Only one-sixtieth of Han Chinese. If we can really achieve intermarriage between Han and Barbarians. Liu Xin believes. Not for a few generations. The barbarians will be assimilated by the Han. How could he oppose such a result. However, there are many obstacles to the realization of intermarriage between Han and Barbarians. The living conditions of the Han are much better than those of the barbarians. Han women are naturally unwilling to marry into the mountains and forests. The barbarian girl is passionate though. However, most Han men pay attention to orthodoxy. Few people are willing to marry a barbarian girl. but. on this problem. Liu Xin still expressed his attitude. As long as both men and women are in love with me. The government will never interfere. Appropriate convenience will also be provided.
The living environment of barbarians in the mountains and forests is very harsh. This also developed their brave and combative character. After all, the population that a mountain forest can carry is limited. With the increase of the barbarian population. Their survival will become more and more difficult. At this moment. If it coincides with the internal strife of the big man or encounters foreign troubles. The barbarians seized the opportunity to invade the land and property of the Han people will inevitably happen in large numbers. and so. Not waiting for source closure requirements. Liu Xin also took the initiative. It is possible to allow the Barbarian mountain people to help in the places where the Han people live. You can even join the engineering team and the army.
These few promises have made Fengyuan very satisfied. When I walked out of the study. The flowers in his heart are already blooming with joy. This trip was really worthwhile.
Liu Xin and Feng Yuan walked out of the study. The brothers and sisters of Kuailiang, Dianwei, Zhang Fei, and Feng Lie, who had been waiting outside the door, greeted them. I saw Feng Yuan's daughter suddenly bowed to Liu Xin and fell to the ground. Said: "Feng Yingying, a female citizen, asks an adult to make the decision."
