Nanzhong Yunnan County and Zhilang Dong County.

Although it has entered September, the weather in Nanzhong is still unbearably hot.

Finally, the sun was in the west, and Ma Tan was able to lie on the rocking chair, wearing short sleeves, shaking a fan, and enjoying the shade in the small courtyard.

The rocking chair swayed back and forth, and one of Ma's feet was on the bar under the rocking chair.

One foot is cocked, the toe is hooked to the clog, the clog is dangling, and it looks like it is about to fall down the next moment, but it keeps sticking to the foot.

Such a gesture is not only devoid of celebrity, but also devoid of etiquette.

In fact, when Ma Tan first came to Yunnan, he was not like this.

In the past, he also served as the nominal Taishou of Yueshan, but because of the rebellion of Yueshan at that time, the Han officials could not enter at all, and could only stay in Anshang County (that is, a new town 125 miles northwest of present-day Pingshan County).

Therefore, Ma Tan actually didn't even go deep into Yueshan County, let alone Yunnan County, which was further south than Yueshan.

When he first came here three years ago, he realized that it was not for nothing that Nanzhong was regarded as a barbarian land.

Men use short sleeves as daily clothes on weekdays, and sometimes they don't even want to wear short sleeves, so they just hang around naked.

Even those Han people who came to Nanzhong from the Shudi Plain to open plantations, many of them actually learned from barbarians and regarded short sleeves as daily clothing.

This alone has made Ma Jian complain many times.

Unexpectedly, as the summer became hotter and hotter, Ma Dazui, who still wanted to hold a Hanfu shelf, was directly stuffed with prickly heat all over his body.

From the chin to the legs, there are dense white or red dots.

Not only was his body tingling, but there was even a burning sensation, which almost scared him half to death.

In the end, I had to follow the locals and wear short sleeves.

I don't know what to wear, hey, I found it pretty good.

Not only is most of the prickly heat on his body gone, but he doesn't have to die because of the heat.

In the end, he not only wore short sleeves, but also slept in bamboo stilts in the summer, which was simply becoming more and more barbaric.

But you can't sleep without sleeping!

Because of the insects and snakes everywhere here, if you don't sleep in the bamboo building, they can climb on you at night and sleep with you.

Then Ma Tan had to comfort himself: in fact, he slept in a bamboo building in the summer...... It feels pretty good, at least cooler than sleeping in the house.

Anyway, in the land of barbarians, no one should laugh at anyone when they get here.

With the beginning, this indulgence naturally cannot be stopped.

So is it strange to pick up clogs to cool off now?

Just as Ma Tan was enjoying the gradually cool breeze, someone outside the small courtyard suddenly shouted loudly: "Youchang, Youchang!" ”

Before the words fell, the visitor had already rushed into the courtyard.

When Ma Tan heard the voice of the comer, he immediately stood up suddenly:

"But Burnson? Aren't you in Wei County? Why did you come to get a building? ”

Zhuge Qiao walked over with his clogs, sat opposite Ma Tan, and didn't care about Ma Tan's words, his face was full of excitement:

"Young, good, good!"

At the same time, he shook the paper in his hand so loudly that it was about to poke Ma Yan's face.

Seeing the appearance of Zhuge Qiao, who had always been steady, Ma Jian couldn't help but sit up straight: "What can make you lose your temper like this?" ”

Zhuge Qiao came over, but he still couldn't suppress his excitement: "Hanzhong is in a hurry, Liangzhou is a big victory, and the Han has all recovered Liangzhou!" ”

"What?"

Ma Yan's heart jumped, and he hurriedly grabbed it to see that it was really an official document sent from Hanzhong, and it was already last month.

Although since the first emperor, from Jincheng to Hanzhong, a lot of post pavilions have been built.

And in these years, with the development of Nanzhong more and more intensive, the connection between Jincheng and Nanzhong has become closer and closer.

However, it still takes a long time to deliver urgent mail from Hanzhong to here, even if it is a day and night journey.

After quickly scanning the above content, Ma Tan couldn't help but applaud: "Wonderful! General Zhao Lao attacked like the wind, and Feng Junhou Temple was like a god, which can be described as a good fighter without great merit? ”

"The Han no longer has any worries, he can concentrate on Guanzhong, and the ambition of the prime minister can reach ......"

When Ma Tan said this, he suddenly paused again, and he didn't know what he remembered, the joy on his face was mixed with a little bitterness, and he sighed unconsciously.

Zhuge Qiao knew that the other party remembered the battle of Longyou again.

I saw him smile and say, "I have another good news." ”

"Oh? It seems that today is really a good day, I wonder if there is any good news for Bosong? ”

Ma Jian quickly adjusted his emotions and asked.

"The queen gave birth to a prince, and Your Majesty was overjoyed, and pardoned the world, young Chang, do you know? You are among the forgiveness! ”

Zhuge Qiao said, took out another document from his arms, and stuffed it into Ma Yan's hand:

"Before I came here, I had already handled all the paperwork for you in the county government, and now you are no longer an exile, you can return to Jincheng at any time!"

Ma Tan listened, and spread out the paperwork in disbelief.

There weren't many words on the paperwork, but he read it for a long time, and finally his hands trembled a little.

Then close your eyes, open them, blink vigorously, raise your head, and look at the horizon.

The courtyard wall had blocked out the sun, and only a glimmer of golden light fell on the base of the wall on the other side.

Ma Jian took a deep breath and a smile appeared on his face: "Bo Song, thank you!" ”

Zhuge Qiao waved his hand:

"Thanks for what? It's just a handy job. Besides, this Liu Zhou rebellion, thanks to your planning, made Yunnan no longer worry about chaos in one fell swoop. ”

"Depending on your talents, even if you don't have this pardon, you will still be reinstated in the future."

Ma Jian shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Bo Songmo wants to praise me again, I know my own affairs." What kind of plan is that, it's just following the old wisdom of Prime Minister and Feng Junhou. ”

Thinking about himself before, he claimed to know about the army, but he was just sitting and talking about the army, and he almost became a laughing stock in the world.

How dare you call it talented now?

Seeing that Ma Yan's mood was a little low, Zhuge Qiao let out a "tsk", and then took out an official document from his arms.

This move made Ma Yandu's eyes widen: How many things are hidden in this Zhuge Bosong's arms?

"You may wish to guess what is said in this official document?"

"What? Could it be that there is a third happy event? ”

Ma Tan said jokingly.

"Hah, that's right! This is the third joyous event! ”

Zhuge Qiao laughed.

Recovering Liangzhou and being pardoned is already the greatest joy in Ma Yan's view.

This third happy event can hardly surpass the previous two.

"The Han Dynasty has spread the word to the world that the Liangzhou Thorn History Department wants to take the exam to select talents, but anyone who is interested in serving the Han Dynasty, regardless of whether they are good or poor, can go to Liangzhou to take the exam."

"But those who can pass the examination will be enriched by the Liangzhou Assassin History according to their merits, from the county guard to the chief, all have the opportunity to be appointed."

As soon as Zhuge Qiao's words came out, Ma Yan's eyes burst into light: "No matter whether it is good or bad? ”

"You don't need to be so surprised, the official document said that there are many Qiang Hu in Liangzhou, and this Feng Junhou is a good Hu person. If this lowly person is talented, let them deal with the Hu people, why not? ”

When Ma Tan heard this, he nodded: "I see......"

Fart!

Before the words came out, Ma Jian already felt that something was wrong.

Now the Shu family is either dismembered into a pile of mud by the prime minister and Feng Mingwen, or it has been divided and bought and become a lackey, how can the first emperor still have the confidence when he entered Shu?

Isn't the weapon of differentiation and buying the wool collected from the hands of the Hu people?

It's just the prime minister, while Feng Mingwen single-handedly dismembered the Shuzhong family, he was able to make those families willing to pay money and food to clamp down on the Hu people.

With one hand, he "fights and turns the stars", stands alone in the world, and no one can mention it.

I'm afraid that even if Murong of Wu Land returns, it will ......

Hey?

Why did I know about Wu Di Murong Fu?

Ahem, forget it, I'll have to watch less Ranger in the future.

Ma Jian reversed his thoughts as quickly as he could:

Under Feng Mingwen's rule, dealing with the Hu people, is that a fat shortage at all?

changed the Shuzhong family, and they couldn't wait to stuff their own people.

Thinking of the Liangzhou family's fierce oppression of the Hu people, and at the same time, they often take advantage of the complex relationship between the Hu people.

Ma Yan's heart couldn't help but jump!

This Feng Wenhe ...... Wouldn't it be planning to lead the Shudi family to compete with the Liangzhou family, and then make a profit again?

He looked down at the official document in his hand for the examination and recruitment, and only felt that the words "whether good or bad" were too spicy.

This Feng Ghost King, in terms of disgusting people, is really the only one in the world.

If you want to blackmail the Hu people with self-respect, I will directly introduce the Shudi family into Liangzhou, and let you dog-eat-dog, full of hair.

You don't want to do this job of dealing with Hu people? The Shudi family still wishes you didn't touch a single hair!

Familiar techniques, so familiar!

It's so familiar that Ma Jian seems to have seen it with his own eyes somewhere.

I think back then, weren't the Yi people in Nanzhong also exploited by the government and the wealthy family, coupled with the deception of Meng Huo and others, so they turned against the Han Dynasty?

After the prime minister pacified Nanzhong, King Feng Guiwang lured him to take advantage of it, attracting the Xinghan Society, the Shudi family, and even the relevant government offices of the imperial court to enter Nanzhong in a big way.

Over the years, the official roads built by the Qin State and the Former Han Dynasty have not only been restored, but even the Governor's Office of the Governor of the Former Han Dynasty has been preparing to continue to expand the official roads to Yongchang County, the southernmost part of the Han Dynasty, with the support of various forces.

While Nanzhong was constantly being developed, it also delivered traditional lacquer, rhinoceros skin, ploughing cattle and other materials to Dahan.

There is also the newly discovered copper.

Most importantly, it became a source of sugar cane for brown sugar.

In this process, some of the original Hao clans and Yiren Qu Shuai in Nanzhong disappeared, and some of them cooperated with the Governor's Office, which greatly maintained the stability of Nanzhong.

It can be said that as long as there are no accidents, it will be nearly two years before Dahan completely controls Nanzhong.

Nanzhong has become a sugarcane producing area, so what about Liangzhou?

I am afraid that it will become a place for horses and wool at the same time.

Think about it, the Xinghan Society, the Shuzhong family, and the Liangzhou Thorn Mansion, the three forces poured into Liangzhou together, how similar was it to Nanzhong back then?

So Ma Jian could almost see that the Liangzhou Hao clan and the Hu people either cooperated with Feng Wenhe or ...... It's gone!

At most [the countryside] is the difference between disappearing directly or disappearing gradually.

Even some things he couldn't figure out before, now he understands them completely.

Why did Feng Wenhe vigorously support families like the Li family and the He family when he suppressed the Shu family.

Isn't this the time to be?

Because a family like the Li family and the He family is fundamentally different from the traditional family.

Their expansion was mainly based on wool.

If there is any discooperation between the wealthy families of Liangzhou, the Li family and the He family are the vicious dogs that bite people the most under Feng Yong, and they are the kind that never stops.

The only difference between Liangzhou and Nanzhong is probably the evaluation of Feng Wenhe.

The legend of King Feng is passed down by mouth in Nanzhong.

And the Hu people of Yongliang praised Feng Langjun, the heir of the mountain god.

The more Ma Tan thought about it, the more excited he became, he ignored Zhuge Qiao's surprised eyes, suddenly stood up, took two steps back and forth, and muttered to himself:

"Taking the world as a chessboard, Yizhou and Liangzhou as the corners, ruling the family as the son, competing for the world, this is really what the husband does!"

The more he talked about the back, the more passionate his voice became, and under the excitement of his heart, he finally couldn't help but let out a long howl:

"Woohoo! The Han Dynasty is in danger, the people are hanging upside down, and the husband should calm the troubled times and make immortal contributions......"

Before Ma Tan's impassioned words were finished, he heard a scream outside the courtyard gate:

"Ma Yan! Good thief, let me catch you! ”

When Ma Tan heard this voice, his face changed drastically with fright on the spot, and his originally impassioned voice was as if someone had pinched his neck:

"Didn't she go back to Dianchi Lake? How did you come back again? ”

Zhuge Qiao let out an "oh" and replied on the side: "I asked people to call her back......"

"Bo Song harms me!" Ma Jian looked at Zhuge Qiao's innocent eyes for unknown reasons, and shouted, "I want to die without a place to be buried!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he only heard a sound of "Peng", and the gate of the small courtyard was knocked open, and the figure of the flower beard appeared in the small courtyard, and the palms of his hands were still shining brightly.

When Ma Tan saw her like this, he was so frightened on the spot that he turned around and ran.

"Where to run!"

Seeing him like this, Hua Fei snorted and raised his right hand at the same time!

Ma Tan knew that this barbarian girl's martial arts were not low, and she even had a flying knife stunt that she had learned from her mother, Mrs. Zhurong, when he heard the sound of breaking the air behind him, his body was short!

He heard only a "grab" sound, and a throwing knife sank into the trunk of a tree beside him.

"Hua Niangzi, the rebellion of Liu Zhou is a matter of the Governor's Mansion, how unreasonable are you to rely on my head?"

The heat did not dissipate, but Ma Jian only felt cold and swishing on his body.

It's good that he didn't say this, but as soon as he said this, Hua Wei gritted his teeth and hated:

"The matter of the Governor's Mansion is your plan, deceiving me and ignorance! At the beginning, you told me that you were good, and you tricked me into going to appease the Yiren, but behind it was a poisonous plan to lure the Yiren to rob my horse team! ”

"I have lost a lot of horses and a lot of money and food, and I am not a son of man!"

There is also the idea of letting the Governor's Mansion drag on the injustice, and nine times out of ten it is also the idea of this guy, and it will cause his horse team to miss a trip to business.

That's a big loss!

Although in the eyes of others, Hua Wei is also a barbarian girl, but when she says the word "Yiren" at this time, it is very smooth.

Because in her opinion, only those Yi people who do not obey the religion can be called Yi people.

My family is the middle of the imperial history, my uncle is the leading general, I have the second largest horse team in Nanzhong, who dares to call me a barbarian, I will kill whom!

Anyway, I'm not afraid to die!

It's a big deal to go to Hanzhong and cry to Zhuge Agong, saying that they look down on people and don't abide by the rules of "Han Yi is as one" under Zhuge Agong.

And...... In addition to Zhuge Ah Gong, there is also someone who also owes me a favor back then!

Ma Tan naturally didn't know all the hole cards in Hua Yan's hand, but he had been in Yunnan for three years, so he naturally knew that this barbarian girl was a character who could walk sideways in Nanzhong.

In addition, when Liu Guanzhi was in turmoil, some arrangements were indeed not authentic, and his heart was weak, how could he dare to be tough with her at this time?

Fortunately, the great Han Confucian students are used to talking with their fists, and their skills are much more powerful than ordinary people.

Seeing Hua Hu glaring angrily and catching up, Ma Shusheng, who was short sleeves and long pants, ran and turned directly onto the courtyard wall, and then jumped off the wall and ran.

Leaving only a broken fan to fall to the ground slowly.

Flower: ......

She really couldn't imagine that this Ma Jian was so shameless.

"Uh...... Flower lady? ”

Zhuge Qiao watched the scene in a daze, swallowed his saliva, and then came back to his senses and asked cautiously tentatively.

"Oh, I've seen Zhuge Langjun."

This is the son of Zhuge Ah Gong, and he can't be neglected.

Hua Fei hurriedly took her clothes and saluted, very ladylike, and at the same time quietly hid the flying knife that had not yet been thrown out on her body.

Zhuge Qiao: ......
