Beckham is still drawing cakes for the people of the tribe, only talking about the future benefits, but not mentioning the obligations of the people of the tribe.
The children in the tribe are the favorite to listen to. They are attracted by the various play items that belong to children introduced in Xiaobei's words. Adults are also listening. Although they are not as engaged as children, they also have their own external lives. Fantasy.
Without much knowledge, they can't say anything to refute, and they don't know how to ask specific things, because Beckham's pie is too big, and it sounds reasonable, and it is possible to realize it.
Compared with the people in the tribe, Cuan Moa as the chief is much stronger and more realistic. He hoped that Fan Fan's words were true, and that was the ability of the Zhang Wang family in Sanshui County to do what their children said now.
What supported him to believe in the credibility of Fan Fan's words of affirmation is that... The caravan between Shuiyun and Yun that came here three years ago did indeed change the price of goods exchanged between the two sides, which shows the strength of others. .
At this moment, there are also thoughts that are uncomfortable. One is how quickly the Zhang family can do what their children can say or brag about. He doesn't expect it to be completely done, only a part of it needs to be realized, and he is satisfied.
The two are how to maintain a good life for one's own side. Dianchi is surrounded by people with the surname Cuan, and there are people with the surname Meng not far away, and even more to the west, there are Liuzhao gazing at it.
Once the person with the surname Cuan on his side has a better life, will others watch and ignore it? Instead of plundering by force
With such worrying thoughts, Cuan Moa discussed with Fan Fan, and now he can only believe that Fan Fan, who usually performs well in exchanging things, has not deceived his tribe in the past three years.
"Can you tell them, let them come up with something we can see? For example..."
"Salt?" Fan Fan asked without waiting for Cuan Mo'a to finish speaking.
He can understand the unreliable situation in the other party's heart. If he is replaced by himself and doesn't understand Zhang Wang's family, he will also think that Beckham is talking nonsense about the beautiful corridor built on Dianchi Lake with countless boats fishing on it. There are also ships carrying people who can spend a lot of money in the local area.
Coupled with the completion of a dam and the dug out of an artificial river, there will be no floods in the area every year in the future. The children in the tribe will be able to have specialized people to teach and study, learn from the various books of the Tang Dynasty, and also learn to write.
You don’t need to spend money to see a doctor after you get sick, and the medicine you take is also very effective. Not to mention the treatment of the disease, at least it is better than the casual use of herbs in the tribe or just using curses.
Who dares to think about people who have never met
But Fan Fan knows that this is true, and it is not difficult to realize it, at least not difficult for Xiaobao and Juanjuan. If he can take Cuan Moah to the Tang Dynasty, I believe all doubts will disappear.
Not to mention Sanshui County and Jingcheng, which I have never been to, as long as you go to Luzhou where you have personally visited for business, you can know how powerful Xiaobao and Cuckoo are. The prosperity there is unimaginable, let alone guessing. It was sparsely populated and existed as a place of exile many years ago.
The ships on the sea in Luzhou, the crowds at the wharf, and the unobstructed square, the wide road, and the kapok blooming like a sea of fire in spring, really make the people you see have a dreamlike feeling.
Thinking, Fan Fan is homesick. Although the place he came is not as good as Luzhou, he has lived very well. He is more than a hundred times stronger than the local area. If it weren't for making money, who would want to go to this poor place
Cuan Moah was still waiting for Fan Fan’s answer to give herself confidence. After seeing Fan Fan utter a word of salt, she started to lose consciousness, and had to touch Fan Fan, saying, “It’s salt, how many days will it take for them to let us? Seeing salt? I think they should have someone who can talk to them in person instead of sending a child, even though you say the child is very powerful."
"Oh, great, yes, yes, I don’t think it will take a few days. At least they have to show you hope before they leave. Don’t worry, I’m right. If you want to see Xiaobao and the cuckoo, you have to wait for them to take their time. , Or I won't have time to see you."
Fan Fan said something to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan.
"What are they up to?" Cuan Mo'a felt that Fan Fan had deliberately said this, deceiving himself, that the people who could take the lead would not come, and he looked down upon himself, a tribe with few people, but more than 10,000 people came.
Fan Fan glanced at Cuan Mo'a and said, "Fighting, now my Datang is fighting against many cannibals. You should know that they are commanding, mobilizing the army and dispatching logistics materials, and my Datang. Xiaobao also has to take care of the internal economic development, and Datang merchants must listen to him. He says that when the price of something can be increased, everyone dares to increase the price."
Cuan Mo didn't believe it, suspecting that Fan Fan and the group of children who came over were cooperating to lie to his tribe, with a faintly unpleasant expression on their faces.
After thinking about it, he said to Fan Fan: "I want to go on a hunt with their people, and give them the hunting, so that they can taste the deliciousness of our place, can you help me talk about it?"
As soon as Fan Fan heard it, he understood, Cuan Mo still felt that what he said was not true. He wanted to show his strength and let Xiaobao and the cuckoo care about the tribe of others.
Really ridiculous, dare to compete with their team in force? Crazy, really mad, a team of more than 10,000 people can destroy any tribe at will. Even if the six emperors are united, as long as Xiaobao and the cuckoo are willing, they can solve the battle in a month at most, and how deep It's useless to hide in the mountains.
"You don’t hit the south wall and don’t look back, yes, you’re embarrassed to say, I’ll tell you, isn’t it just hunting together? It’s simple, Beckham and the others are probably idle and troublesome. There is no one here waiting for them to clean up. ."
Fan Fan shook his head and agreed. Instead of going directly to Xiaobei, he randomly pulled one of the nine people who accompanied Xiaobei and whispered to him.
This person listened and looked at Cuan Mo'a. When Fan Fan finished speaking, he nodded to express his understanding, squeezed to the front, and retelled it softly to Xiao Hai who was standing behind Beckham.
Xiao Hai looked up at the position of the sun and felt that today is not enough. If you want to go hunting together, you have to gather early in the morning from tomorrow, then go into the mountains, eat anything at noon, and arrive together before dinner. Place, more prey than anyone hits.
So he gave a few words to the person who came over, and he went to the side of Xiaobei who was still happily inciting others, and discussed with him.
When Xiaobei heard that his brother said that he wanted to hunt with the locals, his eyes opened wider and he was very excited. He nodded repeatedly and began to speak loudly to the people around him:
"Just now, Cuan Moa, the leader of your tribe, has already discussed with us. Tomorrow morning, we will gather here, go into the mountains to hunt animals, and hold a barbecue party in the evening, which is what you have always liked to do. kind.
Everyone gathered around the bonfire, eating and drinking while singing and dancing. So now, we might as well go to the pool to catch a few fishes, and solve our food today. Can you say okay? "
"Okay...!" The children in the tribe were led by Xiaobei to form a tacit understanding of cooperation, while the adults were dumbfounded. They couldn't figure out why the leader wanted to hunt with others. What about the salt? When to dig salt
With doubts, the brigade walked to Dianchi Lake together. Not far away, the locals also fished themselves, using hemp rope to weave nets, or using forks on the shore and on small boats, which is also a common food.
※※※※
News from here quickly spread to the camp where Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were.
The two of them listened to the report at hand, looked at each other, and said at the same time: "It's okay."
"Yes, it’s okay, it’s much easier than imagined. When you come in contact with them, what I’m most afraid of is not to try something, but that they don’t give you the opportunity to communicate. For example, when you were in Luzhou, the local mountain people always kept it up to you. Be vigilant, when you go to contact others, the first thing they think of is how to guard against you.
At that time, it was a good time to catch up with the water. Even if it is a good time, many mountain people are threatened. Let us help, so that we have the opportunity to not communicate with each other. Later, we have to let the father recognize the local children as Son, it's not easy. "
Zhang Xiaobao was in a good mood and recalled the past.
Wang Juan said empathetically: “It’s really difficult. The good news comes from the first contact here. It shows that business exchanges can provide great help for political exchanges. The price adjustment three years ago has now achieved results. People have more trust in my Datang, and we must make good use of it.
The hunting tools they use are knives, guns, bows, and simple traps. Before we compare with them tomorrow, let them see how our guns are played, and then tell them that we don’t use guns, and we will follow them. Same, with cold weapons. "
"Yes, let them be convinced by their strongest side so that they can communicate in other aspects. Salt must be mined first to give them hope. Free salt can also allow them to save on changing salt. To exchange other needed materials."
Zhang Xiaobao began to figure out what kind of development model he needed to form in the local area before he left. Now he is helping people with the surname Cuan, that is, the Baiman written in the book, as well as the black man with the Mongolian surname. solve.
Heiman is more difficult to contact than Baiman. Language is a big obstacle, as well as their own philosophical ideas for survival. You think that everyone develops together, but people find it more convenient to plunder. It takes a lot of extra effort to gradually change people's hearts.
Wang Juan also thought about the issue of national integration, peaceful integration, not force. Force is simple. The people he brings are enough to push all the people with the Meng surname. When the time comes, the people with the Meng surname will become honest. But that needs blood, why bother.
Why keep a thread for Liuzhao? It’s not because they are the ancestors of the Yi nationality. The most important thing is that the Liuzhao is less threatening than the Tubo and Turks. The ununified Liuzhao cannot form a strong combat force, and it has never had any military force against Datang. Advantage.
"How can you draw people with the Meng surname over without using force? Give them direct benefits?" Wang Juan asked.
Zhang Xiaobao nodded and shook his head: "The benefits are to be given, but not for nothing, otherwise they will think that we owe them, Sheng Mien, fight Mien. The best way is to let them see and communicate with us. There will be hope for a better life, I think about it and see how I do it."
Wang Juan followed his thoughts. He needed a very good way to quickly solve the current problem. He had to leave when the time came. There was no more time to waste.
When the two were thinking about it, an intelligence officer came in outside the tent with a happy expression on his face, and said to the two of them: "There is a message coming back from Annan, and Zhenla has sent someone to spread the letter in advance to tell them there. The government said that their king had already written a petition and sent people to my Datang to petition. They hoped that we would not fight.
I also said that when I came here this time, I brought a lot of things for compensation, which was of great value. After the reason was changed into money, the people used to make up for the harm they caused to my Datang.
They also said that if there is a need, their king can come in person, but Datang has to issue a document that guarantees that they will not directly kill people when they come. "
"Sure enough, a weak country has no diplomacy." Zhang Xiaobao signaled that the person who came to know about it, and waited for them to go out, and said to Wang Juan.
"It has always been the case. Force is not an end, but it is a means to exercise politics well. If it is replaced by the previous Datang, they will not do this. It is more likely that the border of Chen Bing is used as a threat."
Wang Juan breathed a sigh of relief, and would not beat him if he could not fight real wax, otherwise it would take too much time.
"In the past, maybe our officials would take the initiative to find women to play with them, in order to show the magnanimity of our big country, a bunch of goods that should be killed. Now who dare to see? Good to others, yes, But they have to be obedient first, than come over one by one and think it sounds nice, and then a few soldiers think they can be uncles."
Zhang Xiaobao cursed, and he was also in a good mood. He doesn't need to worry about Zhenla now. He just used the interval of observing whether Zhenla was acting against Yang and Yin to secretly mobilize troops to build the local area first, and then cross the Liuzhao place to get there. Participate in the battle.
"Let Xiaobei and the others come back soon, they have a new mission." Zhang Xiaobao shouted to the outside.
Wang Juan smiled and asked, "Do you have to find some work for them?"
"I have to find them for them. Can they stay free? Doing more can cultivate their experience. I don't want to raise a group of obedient babies. I don't cultivate them now. When they grow up, they will still suffer. Growing up in the middle, that’s not my way of education."
Zhang Xiaobao showed a doting look when he talked about his younger brothers and sisters.
Wang Juan’s smile did not change: “The people who came back said that they were in good condition there, but they actually started to instigate. In front of the leader of the tribe, facing the people of the family, he gave him one of his sons. Flickering, it's really a good way to start with a child."
"Go, let's also go out to see Dianchi Lake, this Dianchi Lake that retains the original flavor." Zhang Xiaobao took the telescope and pulled Wang Juan to the outside of the tent.
※※※※
"If you don’t have the ability to swim in a deep place, look, drink water, don’t be afraid, relax, we will take you to the shore, you usually practice swimming in the future, it’s best to let your body go where you are. After exercising, you will have stamina and get closer to the water before going deeper."
In the water of Dianchi Lake, Xiaobei and Xiaoyuan were swimming with a child towards the shore together. Cuan Mo's son got a pair of swimming trunks. He was very envious when he saw nine people in the water fishing with their bare hands. Feeling that I can swim normally, so I went down into the deep water to catch fish.
As a result, he usually only swims and plays. He can't bear the physical exertion when catching fish. Normally, he loses his energy. He thumps in the water and is framed by Xiao Bei and Xiao Yuan.
While swimming back, Xiaobei said that he looked at Xiaobei and Xiaoyuan very relaxed, and even laughed twice. There was no hard situation that happened when he was swimming in the water after saving a person in the water.
Cuan Moah on the shore was also worried just now. His son swam too far. At that time, there were only children around. He was worried that the children would not be able to save his son. It was too late for the adults to save him.
Unexpectedly, Beckham's speed was so fast, dozens of steps away, like a fish, she reached the place in a few strokes, even when her son grabbed her arm, she didn't sink, and she waited for another child. Xiaoyuan came over and held his son together.
Cuan Moah was very helpless. He knew why his son went to learn how to fish with bare hands. The five little girls inside wore beautiful swimsuits with a skirt underneath. His son wanted to show off. The result was good and he was embarrassed. Bar.
The more I thought about Cuan Mo, the more embarrassed he was. He raised his leg to go, but let Fan Fan hold him back, and persuaded: "Children, the love of beauty, everyone has it, how cute Beckhams are, and adults are not always the same. Do you behave in front of the beauties
You are going to beat the children now, just to show Xiaobei and the others, then Xiaobao and the cuckoo will know, you wait to suffer, they are spoiled for their younger brothers and sisters. "
Cuan Moa then retracted the legs that stepped out. He felt that it was really bad to teach people in the tribe to be a guest. After thinking about it, his eyes rolled and he asked Fan Fan: "It's not bad for me to look at Xiaobei, not just long. He looks good, and he has the ability, can you treat my son... ”
"Don't even think about it, that Xiaoyuan is the man after Beckham, and a hundred of your sons together is not as good as Xiaoyuan. It seems that you still don't know their identities. Let me tell you this. Even if they do not object, we Datang people do not agree. How can it be possible to marry Xiaobei to your house?"
Fan Fan looked at Cuan Mo'a like a fool and said.
"Aren't we brothers?" Cuan Moa began to make a relationship again.
"Don't, brother to brother, two different things. If the girl in his family says to marry, your majesty will make a reservation first. Your little tribe is still going to get involved? Say something practical, don't be kidding."
Fan Fan didn't take the rhetoric of Cuan Mo'a, and he didn't leave any face to the other party.
Cuan Mo A now gave up his heart, and was thinking about how to inquire about the status of the Zhang family in the Tang Dynasty, and Fan Fan can maintain it in this way. From his words, he can still know that the people of the entire Tang Dynasty are all. It's hard to imagine people willing to defend the Zhang Wang family.
"Pull, if you still feel uncomfortable breathing, breathe while squatting, so that you can cough out the choking water, don't be afraid of the ears, just shake your head, remember, don't take risks in the future."
At this time, Xiaobei and Xiaoyuan had pushed Cuan Mo'a's son into very shallow water, told him a way, turned around and swam inside again, obviously saving people just now did not make them tired.
Before Xiaobei and the others could catch a few fish, someone on the shore shouted: "Little ancestors, come back, the young master said that he will arrange a new task for you."
"Oh!" Xiaobei cheered, pressing his hand on Xiao Yuan's shoulder, and he jumped up in the water, almost exposing his calf, jumping very high.
Xiao Yuan, who was pressed by her, showed his head after two seconds, angrily.
