The next morning, a team of several hundred people headed south.

There are dozens of big cars in total, each car has four executioners escorting cars, the dart flag is inserted on the car, and the big flag is flying when it comes over, and the clothes and belts are fluttering is also quite spectacular.

Guo Wenying sat in the carriage behind, she lifted the curtain and looked ahead for a while, and asked Zhang Mingchang in a low voice, "What do you think this carriage looks like pulling?"

Zhang Mingchang frowned, "The rut mark is very deep, and it shouldn't be light to look at things, but it's not big in size, and it shouldn't be something of light value such as grain." ”

Guo Wenying said: "Do you look like gold and silver?"

Zhang Mingchang shook his head, "It's not particularly similar, if you really want to pull a cart of yellow and white things, it is impossible to use a horse to pull the cart, and the rut marks are not so deep." Besides, if it is really a yellow and white thing, this car is afraid that it will cost 100 catties, a total of 32 cars, that is, 3,200 catties, that is to say, there are 1.6 million taels of silver. It is absolutely impossible to spend so much money, even if it is to supply the military expenses of the imperial court, it is impossible to pay so much money. ”

Guo Wenying naturally knew that when he fought in the northwest, the military expenses supplied by the imperial court every year were only one million taels, and that was more than 200,000 troops, and this Yunnan was only a province, and the number of rebels would not be very large. There were only 50,000 or 60,000 people sent by the imperial court to quell the rebellion, where could they use all this money?

But if it's not food, it's not money, then what's it supposed to be?

She wanted to ask, but the dart masters here seemed to be a little wary of them, and no one said a word to them along the way, so the dart head always came over to greet them twice, and then led people to explore the way.

They wanted to find someone to talk to, but no one spoke at all, so they could only guess in private.

Walking slowly along the way, left and right bored, Zhang Mingchang explained to her some history and customs about Yunnan. Although he has never been to Yunnan, he has read a lot of books, and at this moment, he has rebuilt it in his belly, and he can also tell the story.

"In the second year of the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu opened the west to the south and placed 24 counties, and Yunnan was one of them. There are three kinds of sayings to take the name of the county "Yunnan", one is "Caiyunnanxian" said, when the county was established, the county seat is now in the north of Yunnan Yi Village, Longxing and Mountain appeared colorful clouds, the county seat is called "Yunnan" in the south of Caiyun; the second is "the south of Yunshan" said, Yunshan often condenses the clouds and qi several zhang high, and the county seat is called Yunnan in the south of Yunshan; the third is "Emperor Wu chasing dreams" said, according to legend, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty dreamed of Caiyun at night, sent envoys to chase dreams, and chased Caiyun in the realm of Xiangyun County, because of Yunnan County.

During the Tang Dynasty, the envoy of the Nanzhao King Ge Luofeng went to Chang'an to worship the Tang King, and the king asked: Where is the king? Therefore, in the minds of the imperial court, "Yunnan" is the name of the southwest frontier region of the motherland, and in the sixteenth year of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, the Tang King named Luo Feng as the "King of Yunnan".

In the Yuan Dynasty to the 11th year of the Yuan Dynasty, Yunnan Xingzhongshu Province was established, "Yunnan" was officially determined as the name of the Yunnan region, and Yunnan County, Yunnan County, Yunnan County, Yunnan County, ”

Guo Wenying asked, "Who is the current king of Yunnan?"

"This person's name is Duan Weichen, and he is the king of Yunnan who was crowned by the emperor in the fourth year of Jingjing. ”

Guo Wenying suddenly remembered Duan Zhengchun and Duan Yu in "Tianlong Babu", Dali is also a country in the book, but in this era, it is only a vassal lord of one side.

Although Yunnan is the territory of the Duan family, but in fact, he is not so easy to be the prince, there are many ethnic minorities in Yunnan, the division of forces is particularly complicated, and the various tribes and Tusi are constantly in dispute with each other. Either fight with the imperial court, or go to war between tribes, in short, there is no time to stop.

When Guo Wenying was in the palace, she occasionally heard Feng Jingting talk about the king of Yunnan, she didn't pay much attention to it at that time, and she didn't remember much about what she said, it seemed that he was extraordinary, and such a chaotic scene could be stabilized. Not only can he balance the strife, but also make these tribal leaders obey him, which is not easy.

The two were talking, when suddenly the convoy stopped, and someone galloped from the front, shouting: "There is an accident ahead, there is an accident ahead." ”

The man's voice was so loud that he could hear it clearly in a convoy nearly a mile long.

Guo Wenying lifted the curtain of the car and looked out, Feng Yuer was also curious, and followed her to look outside with a pair of big black eyes, and asked, "Mother, what's wrong?"

Zhang Mingchang jumped out of the carriage and wanted to pull an executioner to ask what had happened.

The executioner said: "We often have emergencies when we escort darts, but they don't get in the way, most of them are a tribe with a branch in the middle of the road, and if you don't give money, you won't let it pass." ”

Guo Wenying said "oh", there are many things like this in modern times, and when taking a long-distance bus, there are occasionally villagers from nearby villages who set up a roadblock on the road, and they will not be allowed to leave without giving money. However, most of this is due to the fact that the village paid for the construction of the road.

It doesn't look like the muddy section has just been repaired, and I don't know what's going on.

They waited here quietly, and after a while
