Chapter 115: Strange Tribes
The peasant class of the ancients made up the vast majority of the society.
It can be said that almost all the people here are engaged in farming, and even if they do not have farmland, their relatives still have farmers, and it can be said that they are concerned about what is related to their survival, food and drink.
At this time, the most important thing for people is nothing more than to survive.
In the brightly lit room, it was not until the next morning that the drowsiness of the wounded hit again, and as soon as they came, they could not resist it, and most of them, including the captain, fell asleep.
Because of the proper treatment of the wounds with purified water and bandages, and the analgesics to curb their pain, their sleep was no longer as painful and hopeless as before, but was replaced by a relief and relief.
After arranging the rotation of special supplies, he did not dare to slack off at this first post and insisted on guarding it.
These materials are really too precious, and his dictation is far from being able to restore the scarcity of these materials in Chang'an City.
Judging from the overnight investigation of Wuzhou City and the news obtained from nearby state cities, people have also figured out the cause of last night's abnormality.
It turned out that a tribe and foot on the grassland fell out with Jieli Khan, and in order to avoid revenge and vendetta later, not only did the settlement move to the Yin Mountain, but also gathered the elite of the clan and went to the south.
At first, the Wuzhou garrison felt stupid when they heard the news.
Didn't your own tribe suffer either surrender to my Datang or surrender to the Tuli Khan, why do you want to kill over there, not afraid of being attacked by Jieli and my Datang from the north and south, so that your tribe will die without a place to bury?
Then they learned the truth, which made it even more difficult for them to accept.
It turned out that the reason for this falling out with Jie Li with his feet was on a mere dozen catties of potatoes...... It's potatoes again, it's potatoes again!
Datang sent grain to Jieli twice, and the second time the potato appeared, it instantly made the entire grassland boil.
This thing can be eaten roasted or boiled, and it looks ugly, but once it is cooked, with a little salt, it tastes simply refreshing.
And Jieli also learned how to cook sour and hot shredded potatoes through the professors of the Han envoys, the food on the grassland was already scarce, far from being compared with the Central Plains, and as soon as this thing appeared on the grassland, you can imagine what the consequences were.
The leaders of the various tribes were going crazy, and people who didn't usually show up in the tooth tent appeared one after another, all counting on the thousands of catties of potatoes sent by Datang.
A few thousand catties is not a small amount, the problem is that Jieli has a lot of people, and these are all genuine cattle, sheep and horses in exchange, can you save food?
So Jieli rejected many small tribes, gave them very little quota, only let them taste loneliness, and then did not leak anything to the outside at all.
This is true for potatoes, as well as dried chilies, and I have heard that the Nanban sent a very thin but resistant to the cold, and a kind of paper that is soft and comfortable, and used for daily cleaning is simply a fairy-like enjoyment.
And the foot also knows the situation of his tribe, and he doesn't expect the latter three, but even a full 2,000 catties of potatoes, can they die if they give them a little? It's just a dozen catties, less than one percent of the total!
But is the contribution of the foot to the grassland less than one percent of this area? This is also the reason for the collective rampage with the feet.
The patriarch of this tribe is also ruthless enough, after repeatedly asking for it and even being beaten out by Jieli with two whips, he held a grudge and directly found an opportunity to defect, neither surrendering to the Tang Dynasty nor surrendering to the Tuli Khan, and directly drilled into Yinshan.
Moreover, the young soldiers of the tribe gathered to go south, the purpose was very simple, to wreak havoc and loot in Datang, and force Datang to hand over enough potatoes and planting methods!
In the garrison mansion, the garrison was messy for a while, and I couldn't understand what these grassland people were doing, why did you take refuge directly, with today's situation, can you miss some potatoes?
You don't want a lot, Datang gave Jieli so much of this thing just to disintegrate and divide your fighting spirit, and you have more credit for surrendering......
After he confirmed the news, Feishu reported to Chang'an as soon as possible, hoping that the imperial court would handle the matter.
Judging from all sources, these tribal soldiers are all the elite of the grassland, and the number is close to 1,000, no more, no less, and they are broken into pieces, which is also the reason why they can break through the border and enter the south, and they have no way to deal with this matter.
……
At the end of April, Chang'an, the scenery is just right, the morning dew condenses on the flowers and leaves, and the air is fresh and intoxicating.
This morning, the spring outing proposed by Chen Chu and others a long time ago finally began on this late spring day.
Li Er, Fang Du, Li Xiaogong, Qin Shubao, Yu Shinan, Liu Zhenghui and some of their relatives, such as the eldest grandson queen of Jiujiang Luling, the Gao family, etc., also came, but each of them brought very limited relatives, and some even did not bring one person, and came alone.
Then there are Chen Chu's people, Yuzhu, An Yijia and Siyan Silan sisters, as well as the twenty family members who are responsible for the work brought by Luo Wu.
Originally, Chen Chu was a little worried about everyone's safety when he saw so many people, after all, ancient times were not modern, and he couldn't guarantee that a wild man would suddenly rush out somewhere, and he would be too scared.
However, Lao Li said that they could handle the guards, but when Chen Chu saw it, he almost didn't vomit.
I told you to take care of the guards, and I didn't want you to bring an army!
There are a total of three or four hundred people cobbled together by several families, good guys, so many people don't look at much, what is the concept in fact, it is counted as a class of fifty people in the later generations, which is a grade that is full of black pressure.
However, as soon as Li Er and the others explained, Chen Chu didn't think much about it, did the ancients really have a lot of people who took care of the home, it is normal for everyone to want to bring some people without prior consultation, and it seems that there are a little more when they get together, which is not a thing.
Seeing that Chen Chu didn't suspect it, a group of people also breathed a sigh of relief.
"But why is it that Lao Li and your family have a lot of dependents, and the others are big cats and kittens, or even one person comes, you can't take your family on a trip?" Chen Chu complained.
Yu Shinan and the others were also depressed for a while, is this an ordinary spring outing, this is simply a royal trip, can you take people casually?
The most important thing is that I am afraid that some people will scream at the identity of some people who don't count in their hearts, or expose something that Chen Chu will see through, and everyone will finish the calf at that time, so just in case, if you can, you don't bring it, and you can only bring it if you can trust it in terms of IQ, so as not to help with it.
Li Er thought about it for a while and had a quick wit: "Because there are too many people, it is not good, it affects the interest in traveling, after all, you basically don't know everyone's family members, and you will rarely have the opportunity to meet in the future, right?" ”
Li Er made up the reason in a hurry, and he really made sense of Chen Chu.
"Yes, too...... I really don't want to run over to see when I usually have a party, Lao Li, don't you see that you are still thinking about me, I am very happy. ”
