Now from Jincheng to Nanzhong, it is basically down the waterway, and after arriving at the Yandao (that is, Yibin in later generations), then get off the boat and go to the destination of Nanzhong.

This waterway from Jincheng to Yandao has a place where three waters converge.

They are the river water (i.e., the Yangtze River), the Tsing Yi water, and the foaming water, which converge in Nan'an County, Qianwei County (i.e., Leshan City in later generations).

From Nan'an County against the Tsing Yi water to the west, you can go to Hanjia County.

Hanjia County looks very large, but in fact, there are very few places that the Han can use, so there are only four counties: Hanjia County, Yandao County, Xi County, and Xuanniu County.

Among these four counties, there is a cattle department in Xuanniu County, and in the Later Han Dynasty, it has cut off the avenue between Yueshan and Jincheng for more than 100 years.

In the end, it was Feng Yong who subdued the Niu Department after he was appointed as the Taishou of Yue, which reopened the connection between the two places.

One of the four counties of Hanjia County, Xi County is in the upper reaches of Tsing Yi Shui.

Continuing upstream from Xixian County, you can also encounter the Yiren tribe who have descended from the high mountains (Hengduan Mountains and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau) to the west.

They would often drive cattle and sheep, or take all kinds of furs, and come to the county to exchange some salt, clothing, and so on.

In particular, the thick wool that has appeared in recent years is extremely popular.

Together with Yanba, it is what the Yiren tribe needs most.

Because it's so cold in the mountains.

Of course, there are tribes who are willing to trade with the Han Chinese, and naturally there are tribes who want to do their old job: to do chaos and robbery.

It's a tradition.

Tradition is not so easy to change.

Otherwise, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty would not have to promote the "last piece of the puzzle in Shudi" plan.

Feng Yong forced the Li family to go to Hanjia County to find a new way, in fact, it was also to implement the tradition of the two Han Dynasty for hundreds of years of frontier development: to move the people to the border.

This people can be good citizens or sinners.

Or a minister who lost a political struggle, or even a member of the royal family.

Unlike ordinary people, these ministers or royals were relegated to the frontier and often brought a large number of slaves with them to contribute to the stabilization of the Han Dynasty's territory.

For hundreds of years, the Han Dynasty has consolidated its territory little by little, and has continued to encroach on the outside world.

Li Shishilang, the grandson of the Li family's big house, in the past few years, every time there is a major event in the big Han, he will appear in time and hang out in front of the concubine of Feng Ghost King.

It really made Li Mu, the concubine of the Feng family, a little annoyed.

So the curtain lady blew the pillow wind in the ears of King Feng Ghost.

In the end, King Feng Ghost gave the Li family a "suggestion" and asked Li Shishilang to go to Hanjia to open up the situation.

In order to help the Li family's big house successfully open up the channels of the high mountains and Yiren in the west in Hanjia, Feng Guiwang was even willing to borrow some wool in advance.

In the previous Li family's big house, someone dared to point out their family affairs like this, and they would have slapped the other party into the mud a long time ago.

Then they will build a mountain on it, and they will not be able to turn over for five hundred years.

It's a pity that they met a generation of demon faces and a generation of ghost kings......

So in the end, they can only silently be a cultivator who keeps to himself.

In fact, compared with before, farming is also very good, at least every year the imperial court and the Xinghan Association will buy it at a guaranteed price.

But happiness is comparative.

The money earned from the sale of the grain grown after a year of hard work is not as good as selling a batch of wool.

How can you make those big families who are used to eating big fish and meat willing?

It's just that wool from raw material production to processing, to finished product distribution, and finally to sales channels, all of them are firmly in the hands of people.

What if you are unwilling?

Now that Ghost King Feng has finally leaked some oil and water from his fingers, if the Li family's big house is not tightly grasped, can he still give it away?

Grandchildren?

What happened to my grandson? It's not just Twelve Lang's grandson!

Take 10,000 steps back and say, isn't it natural for the grandson to go to Hanjia to open up the situation for the family?

So Li Shishilang was sent to Hanjia by his family.

Of course, after all, he is a grandson, so the Li family also sent a lot of people to follow.

There are slaves, there are subordinates, and there are also concubines and grandchildren in the same house.

Xixian County is the first major foothold of the Li family's big house in Hanjia County.

Things are expensive to leave their hometowns, and people are cheap to leave their hometowns.

The people of the Li family's big house left the Shu Plain and went to the place where chaos often occurred to open up the situation, not to mention the hardships.

However, the Li family's big house is wider after all, and even if it declines, it is not comparable to ordinary landlords.

Since Xixian County is located on the edge of the Tsing Yi River, and at the same time, it is a basin terrain surrounded by high mountains, so the land here is very fertile.

However, most of them are Yi people, and the cultivation level is too low.

The Li family's big house has contributed people, cattle and plows, but it can also reclaim a lot of cultivated land.

It is not difficult to gain a foothold, but how to open up a new situation is not an overnight thing.

Because they are not like Feng Ghost King, they have reputation, means, power, and enough resources, and they can use both soft and hard to quickly subdue the local Yi people.

They can't even show what they used to do in the fish and meat villages, because the local government is watching them fiercely.

So you can only be honest and down-to-earth.

Of course, with the background of the Li family's big house, it is naturally impossible to be helpless.

For example, those concubines and grandchildren, the level of education alone is enough to crush the surrounding people.

Therefore, picking a few good ones and enlightening the children of qualified families is a way to accumulate fame.

Anyway, the "Three Character Classic" is Feng Ghost King's thing, and it is not a loss to take it to the favor!

The so-called qualified families, in addition to the local wealthy families, also have some children of the head of the local village.

There will even be one or two, three or four children from poor families who are interested in learning but are gifted.

In this set, the family is also very slippery.

But in any case, after the Li family's big house moved to settle in the county, there were some quiet changes in the county.

Because of the arrival of the Li family, with the original old county seat of Xixian County as the center, far or near, several more villages were built one after another.

Even at the foot of the mountain in the distance.

Basically, they are arranged according to the distance and proximity relationship within the Li family.

In Hanjia, where there was constant chaos, even if the imperial court had garrisons here, each village had to have at least the most basic defense capabilities.

When the sun was approaching overhead, a group of soldiers escorted a lieutenant down the mountain.

Another group of soldiers guarding the bottom of the hill immediately came out with their horses, and the lieutenant took the reins, turned over on his horse, and shouted, "Let's go." ”

The two groups of non-commissioned officers regrouped and followed the lieutenant towards the next dock fort.

Captain Feng was the main person in charge of the garrison in Xi County, and he personally inspected all the dock forts in Xi County every ten years.

In the year of the Prime Minister's Northern Expedition, Feng Junhou led the army from Yueshan to the north, and he was a member of the army.

Because there is a ruthlessness, not afraid of death, the battle of the attack, the battle of the street pavilion, the battle of Longxi, the battle of Jincheng, none of them fell.

can also be regarded as an old man in Feng Junhou's army.

It's a pity that literacy is too slow, and if others recognize five, he will recognize two.

When others memorized ninety-nine eighty-one, he only memorized thirty-seven twenty-one.

In addition, the heart is too dead, the mind is not alive, under the command of Feng Junhou, even if you have the same surname as Feng Junhou, I am afraid that the highest is to the position of military marquis.

There is no way, in Feng Junhou's army, compared with the army of the same era, the system is too complicated, which represents the historical trend of specialization of the troops.

Fortunately, the Prime Minister's "Shudi's last piece of puzzle plan", Xinghan will also contribute.

So Captain Feng's immediate boss waved his pen, you are not suitable for this place on a dog day, go to Hanjia.

Captain Feng is at most a military marquis under Feng Junhou, but outside, being a captain is more than enough.

The elite soldiers who came out of the first elite soldier sequence of the Han Dynasty are so awesome and don't explain.

When Captain Feng arrived in Hanjia, because he knew a few words, he became one of the leaders of the Xixian garrison.

Leading his subordinates, when passing a stockade at the foot of the mountain, Captain Feng suddenly grabbed the reins and dismounted with a curse:

"What's going on with this stockade? Last time, I asked them to fill that gap, why haven't they done it yet? If you really want to be attacked by those Yi people in the mountains, you are waiting for a nest of people to die! ”

"Rest in place! Come with me! ”

The stockade saw Captain Feng early, and at this time, seeing him leading people towards the gate of the village, someone in the stockade hurriedly came out.

"What's going on? Didn't you ask you to fix it last time? ”

Captain Feng didn't wait for anyone to speak, he sprayed it directly, foaming at the mouth, "Don't you want to die?" Didn't you hear about the village under Niutou Mountain last month? ”

"At night, they were attacked by the Yi people, not even a dog was left, the belly of the woman in labor was cut open and hung on the wall, and the dozens of women who disappeared were taken to the mountains to ......"

The faces of the people who came out of the stockade were full of spittle, but they didn't dare to reach out to wipe them, and they had to accompany the smiling faces:

"General Hui, aren't you busy drying grain these days, and you can't spare manpower in the stockade for a while......"

"Is human life more important or is that little bit of grain more important?" Captain Feng scolded, "The truth is like Jincheng here?" was rushed into the village by those shengyi, and even your concubine was taken captive to the mountains! ”

The soldiers behind Captain Feng let out a burst of laughter.

They all know that this village is from the Li clan.

These people have never seen the miserable situation after Shengyi broke the village.

"Laugh at your grandmother!"

Captain Feng turned his head again and scolded, "Let you rest in place, let you come over to watch the excitement?" ”

Captain Feng scolded as he entered the stockade.

After walking around the stockade, Captain Feng pointed here and there, and at the same time told the people in the stockade that if they came over, they should be most guarded against.

When he arrived at the door of a small courtyard, Captain Feng slowed down, his voice became louder and louder, and then wiped the white foam from the corner of his mouth.

"General, the sun is so big, why don't you drink some water?"

The entourage who followed him was quite eye-catching, and hurriedly said.

"Well, well, after talking about it for so long, I'm really a little thirsty."

Captain Feng nodded.

The faces of the few Li clansmen who followed behind him, the younger ones, immediately sank.

It was the elderly, and he hurriedly laughed and said, "Negligent, negligent!" ”

Then he turned his head and shouted towards the small courtyard, "Liuniang, Liuniang!" ”

A slender figure soon appeared in the small courtyard.

"General Feng is thirsty, let the general go in and drink some water."

Li Liuniang was dressed plainly, but her demeanor was gentle, she opened the door of the small courtyard and saluted Captain Feng: "I have seen the general, the general, please." ”

"Good, good, good......"

Captain Feng's eyes have never left Li Liuniang since she appeared.

At this time, although he tried his best to hide the joy on his face, he hurriedly stepped into the small courtyard.

The young man of the Li family who followed behind, someone gritted his teeth, quietly turned away, walked out of the village, and walked calmly for a while.

After turning the corner and not seeing the team of soldiers at the gate of the village, he spread his steps and ran.

"General, please."

The door of the small courtyard was open, and standing outside, you could glance past the courtyard and see the two people in the room.

So I'm not afraid of any accidents, but it's too far away to hear what the two are saying.

"Thank you, Liuniang."

Captain Feng hurriedly stood up, took the water bowl brought by Li Liuniang, and drank it all.

Li Liuniang hung her head and stood there, silent, so that people couldn't see her expression clearly.

Captain Feng put down the bowl, a little depressed that he drank too fast, he put down the bowl, coughed, looked left and right, and had nothing to say: "What about Hachiro?" ”

"I went to teach in the village over there, and I haven't come back yet."

Li Liuniang said softly.

The tone is gentle and calm, so that people can't hear the emotions in it.

"Oh, oh, that's it."

Captain Feng nodded.

The arrival of the Li clan has brought some changes to the local area.

Li Balang is a scholar, helping the children of nearby families with conditions to enlighten, but he does not have to cultivate the land himself like others.

Captain Feng stood in front of the woman, looking a little nervous.

He didn't know how to take on the next topic, he just took a book from his bosom and put it on the table:

"Liuniang, I know that you are such a brother, in my thoughts, Hachiro should be a promising."

When Captain Feng was under the command of Feng Junhou, he couldn't learn a few words when he was whipped with a whip, so he felt that the scholar was really much more powerful than him.

"I also have some connections in Feng Junhou's army, and someone sent me a message that Junhou plans to hold an examination class and select some people to become officials."

Speaking of this, Captain Feng scratched his head, in the Junhou Army back then, the examination was one of the things he was most afraid of.

Hearing Captain Feng's words, Li Liuniang finally raised her head.

She is not too beautiful, but she has a gentle temperament unique to women.

This kind of temperament, even if it is a wealthy family, may not be able to cultivate.

This is a precipitation.

Captain Feng was stunned for a moment, and then swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "This...... I got this book because I had a lot of connections. ”

"If Hachiro is interested, you can go to Liangzhou to try, if you really want to choose, you and Hachiro don't have to work so hard anymore."

Li Liuniang's eyes swept slightly, and when she saw the title of the book clearly, her calm face finally froze:

"Dahan Liangzhou Thorn History Department Exam Mock Exam Questions? Why is the title so weird? ”

She was thinking about it, when she saw Captain Feng whispering as if inviting merit:

"Liuniang, you only let Hachiro know about this book, don't spread it."

As he spoke, he took out a few more tickets: "If you want to go to Liangzhou, you can't do it without entanglement, I still have some savings here......"

Li Liuniang pursed her lips, shook her head and said: "The general's gift of books is already a great favor, and these tickets cannot be accepted by concubines." ”

Captain Feng knew that she had a very good idea, otherwise she wouldn't be able to grow up with her own brother alone.

Looking at her calm face, I didn't know how to panic, and I just took the ticket back at the moment:

"That'll do. Regarding the exam, when Hachiro returns, you should discuss it with him. ”

Li Liuniang nodded: "Concubine understands." ”

"Then I'm leaving."

"The concubine sent to the general."

When Captain Feng heard that Li Liuniang was going to send him, the joy in his heart made him feel like he was drunk, and he was a little flustered.

"No, no, it's a big day outside, Liuniang still don't go out......"

When Li Liuniang heard this, she immediately pursed her lips and smiled.

This was the first time Captain Feng saw Li Liuniang smiling at himself, and he was so dazed that he didn't know where he was.

By the time Li Balang ran back out of breath, Captain Feng had already led the army and disappeared.

Only Li Liuniang sat in the room, quietly spinning the thread.

"Sister, are you alright? And what about Feng's death? ”

Li Balang looked inside and out and confirmed that his sister was fine, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he sat down on the edge of the table again, slammed the table hard, and scolded in great annoyance: "Dead pawn! Don't know who you are? Dare to covet my sister! ”

Li Liuniang was silent, she put away the line, stood up, sat opposite Li Balang, and groaned for a while, before she spoke:

"Have you heard of the Liangzhou exam?"

"I've heard a little." Li Balang nodded, and then said with some disdain, "Who knows if this is Feng Wenhe's trick?" ”

"Find a day and go to the city to find out."

Li Liuniang commanded calmly.

"Sister, why is that?"

Li Hachiro is a little unsure.

Li Liuniang glanced at him.

Li Balang was stunned, and hurriedly said, "I know." ”

For him, my sister was a sister and a mother, and she pulled him to grow up, and even delayed her own family affairs for this reason, and became a twenty-six-year-old sister-in-law, and she has not yet married.

So Li Balang is both respectful and awe-inspiring to his sister.

Although the two sisters and brothers did not live well in the Li clan, they were still surnamed Li after all, and the government did not deliberately hide this matter.

So Li Balang quickly found out about this matter.

After listening to the news that her brother had come back, Li Liuniang pondered for a long time, then turned around and went back to the house, took out a book, and handed it to him:

"Don't let others know about this book, just read it quietly by yourself, and also, you quickly pack it up and prepare to go to Liangzhou."

Li Balang was shocked: "Go to Liangzhou? Why are we going to Liangzhou? ”

"It's not us, it's you."

Li Liuniang still had a calm face.

"I'm not going, I'm leaving, what should you do alone, Auntie? I'm going to be with you! ”

Li Balang threw the book on the table and said loudly.

"You don't have to worry about me, because I'm getting married."

Li Liuniang said lightly.

Li Balang was stunned, this incident came so suddenly that he didn't react at all: "Sister wants to get married?" Why haven't I heard? Who to marry? ”

"I'm General Feng." Li Liuniang sat there and looked at her brother steadily, "Although he is a martial artist, he is a good person, I decided to marry him." ”

"Sister......

Li Balang was shocked and angry, and stood up suddenly, "Is it that surnamed Feng who coerced you?" Sister, don't worry, as long as I am here, he will not succeed! ”

"The next time he dares to come over again, I'll let him know what it means to be ......angry."

Li Balang was talking impassionedly, only to hear the sound of "horn".

Li Balang covered his face and looked at Li Liuniang at a loss.

"So you really plan to let me never marry for the rest of my life?"

Li Liuniang shook her hand and asked coldly.

"No...... It's not ......"

Li Balang replied with a sigh.

"And what kind of did you just say!"

Li Liuniang said sharply, "You are the only seedling in our family now, you told me that you are angry?" ”

"What do you mean by being angry? Come, tell me about it! ”

Li Liuniang said a word and took a step forward.

Li Liuniang's momentum was amazing, Li Balang didn't dare to look at her, and took a few steps back.

After losing her temper, Li Liuniang pointed to the book on the table, and said angrily:

"If you don't want to rely on the charity of the clan for the rest of your life, and you really want me to live a good life for the rest of my life, you can listen to me and go to Liangzhou with this book."

Li Balang looked at his sister's face that was so calm that it was close to cold, and tears suddenly came out of his eyes.

Li Liuniang didn't bother to look at him like this, turned around and walked towards her room, and dropped a few words at the same time:

"Also, the people who went to the village said that they should send a message to General Feng, if they really want to marry me, everything is simple."

"But we don't have enough entanglements in our family for you to go to Liangzhou, so the dowry for marrying me can't be too little."

Li Liulang, who was standing in the back, suddenly cried.

PS: Don't say I'm short, this is a 5500-word chapter.
