In a place where Han people live together, if the Han court is strong, then those aliens will naturally clamp their tails and behave as people. But if the Han court is weak, then they will be weak and I will be strong, and they will oppress the local Han people.

In fact, this is also related to everyone's living habits, cultural habits, and so on.

The Han people boast of being a civilized country of etiquette and righteousness, and the kingdom of the Celestial Empire, paying attention to the kindness of people and reasoning in advance.

But for those people of different races, they don't know too much about anything, they don't have any civilization inheritance at all, and some are just some allusions and some traditional habits passed down by word of mouth. It makes sense that they pay more attention to whose fist is bigger.

Therefore, in their lives, fighting and making trouble is as casual as eating and drinking.

Even, their usual entertainment is to fight and have fun.

Being brave and ruthless is the norm for ordinary aliens.

Of course, that's not to say they're brainless enough to do whatever they want. They fight and make trouble, oppress the good, and they will also look at the situation, and they also know how to see the wind and steer the rudder, not that they will fight even if they know that they can't fight.

This can also be seen from the current situation of Liu Xian to this Qiang tribe.

So many Han people suddenly came to this Zengshan County, and the number of people who came here has far exceeded the total number of their Qiang tribe. Moreover, these Han people who came here are still in the name of the imperial court. In such a situation, they are bluffing at best, but they will not seriously dare to clash.

Especially once there is a conflict with these Han people who have come here, they have to bear the charge of rebellion, which they can't afford. Under the circumstance that there is the possibility of extermination, they really dare not mess around.

Liu Xian asked them to open the gate of the village and let them in, but they really didn't dare to turn Liu Xian away. Because who knows if the next time you come back, will it be the army of the Great Han?

It can be talked about, and it is also a good thing for their Qiang tribe. Therefore, this Xiang Liyue took the opportunity to respond to Liu Xian's request and opened the gate of the village to let Liu Xian enter their tribal territory.

After entering the territory of the Qiang tribe, Liu Xian was amazed at the size of their patriarch's tent, which was like a large tent like a house.

Xiang Liyue proudly explained to Liu Xian the meaning of their patriarch's tent.

It is also true that if it were a larger tribe, their tent would be called the king's tent.

Among the aliens, their tent is indeed a status symbol among them.

The space is huge, and it looks like a tent the size of half a basketball court.

Just as Xiang Liyue said, a large tent means that there are many women, and in this, there is really a group of women who are warblers and swallows. They are all women who go to Liyue.

When it comes to women, Xiang Liyue is very proud, among these aliens, the more women he has, the stronger and more status he has.

If nothing else, it's good to live in these alien tribes just because of this one custom.

It's a pity that Liu Xian also noticed that the living materials of this Qiang tribe should still be relatively scarce, these are the women in the patriarch's tent, but their clothes are made of some coarse linen, and there are no clothes made of exquisite clothes and cloth in the homes of the rich and noble Han people.

In addition, many of the women looked a little yellowish, which was obviously caused by malnutrition.

You know, this is the tent of their clan leader, and these women are also the women of the patriarch of Xiang Liyue. Their living conditions are like this, but what about the ordinary people? It is estimated that the situation will definitely be worse.

It is said that in times of hardship, a family of aliens may only have one or two sets of clothes to wear. They take turns wearing them, and whoever wears them goes out to work, and when they get tired, they come back and change people.

It's no joke, it's true. Of course, such a situation is not a common phenomenon, like this Qiang tribe, it is not so far.

Xiang Liyue invited Liu Xian to sit down at the table next to his main seat, and then loudly called his woman to serve warm milk wine, and then served some steaming barbecue meat one after another.

"Brother Liu Xian, let's first taste the mare's milk wine brewed by our people, as well as roast mutton, let's talk while drinking."

"Okay, Brother Liyue, for the sake of our Hanqiang friendship, let's do it!"

Liu Xian picked up the wine bowl and saluted Liyue.

"To Brother Liu Xian, drink!"

Xiang Liyue also drank a bowl of wine, then put down the wine bowl, and officially said to Liu Xian: "Marquis Wu Yong, since we are called brothers, then let's put what we have and say okay?" I want to know, how many Han Chinese have you migrated this time? And what you said about helping, how to help me, a Qiang tribe? What can we gain from this? How much benefit can I get, perhaps? ”

"At the same time, what do you need to pay from my Qiang tribe?"

Xiang Liyue said directly.

"Haha, Brother Xiangliyue, you are very clear in front of the door, and you know that if you have a harvest, you must have to pay. It's good to have that kind of awareness. Liu Xian laughed and said, "I'm optimistic about you, maybe the Qiang tribe will be able to develop and grow in your hands." ”

"Haha, thank you Liu Xian brothers!"

"Well, Brother Xiang Liyue, it can be seen that you are also a straight-rectal person, so I will have something to say." Liu Xiandao.

"Okay, please Brother Liu Xian make it clear, the most important thing is what my people need to pay."

"To Liyue." Liu Xian's face became serious, and he said to him: "This time, I was ordered by the emperor to settle more than 500,000 displaced people. Coming to Zengshan County this time is equivalent to summing up the entire Zengshan County, and even the neighboring counties. In this way, in any case, in the center of Zengshan County, where hundreds of thousands of people live, some Han people around it, such as the tribes of your Qiang tribe, must all obey the orders of the Han court. The government office in Zengshan County will be rebuilt, and it will be right away, and when the time comes, there will also be a government here to govern everything in a unified manner. ”

"Do you understand when I say that? It means that tribes like yours have no choice. No, I may give you a choice. One, it is complete submission. If you are completely obedient, the theory is that you Qiang people are the best choice, because in this way, I can promise that each of you can obtain the same rights and status as the Han people. In the future, you will also live with the Han people, and you and me will not distinguish between you and me, which is also the best way for you Qiang people to completely integrate into the sinicization. ”

After hearing this, Xiang Liyue's face was a little unpleasant, and he was about to ask a question, but Liu Xian raised his hand and stopped: "Listen to me first." Second, it is also a complete surrender, but I can promise that you, the Qiang tribe, can still maintain an independence, and even, you can still own this territory, and you can still choose to graze or farm. However, there are quite a few limitations. For example, we are to plant where and what we ask, and what we reap is no longer your own, but your own. Naturally, I can also ensure that you have basic living security, and even a surplus. As for grazing, it is also according to our requirements, what is usually stocked, where it is, it is no longer up to you to go wherever you want to go. Among them, some details can be discussed slowly. ”

"Third, that's when your tribe migrates, leaves this territory, and finds another place to live."

Liu Xian gestured three fingers to Xiang Liyue and said, "It sounds like it is very harsh to you, but I can really only give you three choices." Because, with Zengshan County as the center, there can indeed be no longer the existence of tribesmen who are not controlled by the Han government. ”

"Marquis Wu Yong, do you mean that apart from the first and second, we have no choice but to leave this territory?"

"No...... No, there is another option, that is, we have become enemies, and when the time comes, then I don't need to say more about the result, right? ”

"Those who follow me prosper and those who disobey me perish?"

"Brother Xiang Liyue is a clear-eyed person, and that's true. I don't want that, but there are things that have to be done. Liu Xian said with sincerity on his face: "Brother Liyue, I came to pay a visit, it is sincerity, I don't want everyone to fight each other and bleed." In my heart, whether it is a Han or you Qiang, they are all Chinese. I hope that you can really fully integrate into the life of our Han people and learn from our more advanced culture and civilization, so that in the future, your descendants will not be divided into Han and Qiang at all, and the entire Han Dynasty will go wherever you want, and you can live wherever you want, and you will no longer have to live in this bitter cold place like here for generations. Think about it. ”

"Alas, in today's world, where can my Qiang tribe relocate? If it weren't for this territory, we Qiang people would have been extinct in the past hundred or so years. Brother Liu Xian, you, you're forcing me. "Xiang Liyue really has an indescribable feeling at this time.

Because he knows, don't look at Liu Xian sitting next to him, calling him a brother, and when he talks about these major issues, he seems to be calm and light. However, in case the conversation can't be discussed, after Liu Xian leaves here, he follows down, and the fate of his clan may be completely different.

Liu Xian smiled, tore a piece of mutton, chewed and said, "If I really want to force you, it's not just ten people from me who have entered your territory." Outside, it won't be just my two or three hundred personal soldiers to guard. Han people, usually here, whether you oppress or plunder, it is all in the past, in the past, and we Han people are sometimes too weak and bullying, and they are more kind. But now, hundreds of thousands of Han people are here, do you think we can do without a certain military horse escort? Brother Liyue, in your clan, the number of people is not more than 10,000, right? And apart from the old and weak, women and children, even if all of you are soldiers on horseback, what if you are soldiers? How many soldiers can there be? ”

"Besides, I'm not really forcing you. Think about it, how is your tribe doing now? Your way of living is half-farming and half-grazing, and the original government does pay you heavy taxes, and you don't know if the grain you grow is enough for your own consumption. As for herding, you don't have your own safe pasture, and you can be raided by more powerful tribes at any time. One bad thing may be the loss of both people and property. This kind of life, such a day, when will you be a head? ”

Liu Xian pointed to the women who hid in the corner of the big tent, and then pointed to some children who were hiding outside the tent door and secretly looked inside from time to time, and said, "Those are your children, right?" And these women. Don't you want your children to sit in a bright house and read and write? Don't you want all of your women to wear dresses made of silky silk? Don't want your women to look great every day? “

"The most important thing is that you are completely obedient and inseparable from us Han people, so you don't have to worry about whether the dynasty is safe or not. When the time comes, you will all be able to own your own house and no longer have to live in these tents. ”

Liu Xian stretched out his hand and turned around, pointed to his patriarch's tent and said, "No matter how big this tent of yours is, there is no real house, right?" In the event of a storm, you are probably worried about whether your big tent will be blown down by a gust of wind, right? ”

"I'm doing it for your own good, really."

Xiang Liyue listened to Liu Xian's words, and the current of thought really fluctuated at this time, after all, what Liu Xian said was some reality. Their tribe is not doing too well, and it is indeed in danger of being annexed by other larger tribes.

After Liu Xian finished speaking, he said with a sad face for a while: "Brother Liu Xian, it seems that I have no choice." If we really want to leave this tribal territory, we will have nowhere to go...... However, it may not work to completely surrender and suddenly want my tribesmen to fully integrate into the Han people and break up the entire tribesmen, after all, the living habits of our tribesmen are still very different from those of the Han people, and I don't think it is suitable to forcibly merge, right? Besides...... We Qiang people should still retain some of the traditional customs of our own people, and don't want to disappear into the world, so, Brother Liu Xian, you see, let's talk in detail about the second situation you mentioned, how about it? ”

"Of course, this one can. However, I am also a wise man who does not speak secret words, whether it is one or two, in the future, you can only obey and obey orders. If it is the first choice, then the order given to you is the same as that of the Han people, but you choose the second, then, there are some things that I have to make clear to you first. Liu Xian had no choice but to agree.

"Okay, please Brother Liu Xian speak clearly."

"Your tribe must have a population register, and no one is exempt from this. How many men and women, old people, women and children, young and strong, and so on? Then, according to the actual situation, a part of the regular cavalry of your Qiang tribe will be dispatched, and this cavalry must completely obey my orders. That is to say, I, Liu Xian, order this cavalry of your Qiang tribe not to disobey wherever it is pointed and there. ”
