Chapter 51: Hunger Marketing

In the afternoon, Lu Ning came to this barking house, and did not let Gan Yingxiu inform him in advance.

Most fishermen live on the riverside, and the family appeased by Gan Yingxiu is no exception, but the area of wooden houses and thatched huts where his family lived has become a little dilapidated, and without a middle-aged man, the small village is obviously very depressed.

But today, except for Lu Ning and others, there seems to be a group of outsiders in the village.

In a dilapidated wooden house by the river, Lu Ning met the old woman named Dhara Shi mentioned several times in Gan Yingxiu's writings.

In front of the wooden house, there were piles of dirty mats, loophole fishing nets, etc., which seemed to be the work of the old woman.

When I came here, I deliberately changed the translation to Wu Qiong, who the old woman was more familiar with.

The old woman became very happy when she saw Gan Yingxiu and Wu Qiong.

The thin swarthy old woman, her face is frowning like orange peel, her eyes are a little cloudy, but she gives people the feeling that she can see through the world, although Gan Yingxiu and Wu Qiong did not introduce Lu Ning's side, but when answering Lu Ning, she was also extremely cautious, and kept saying how good Gan Yingxiu and Wu Qiong were, how kind-hearted, and beautiful as the legendary goddess of the snow mountain, Parvati.

In fact, Lu Ning named the little slave girl of Nadhaka, Jiali, who is the name of the dark incarnation of the goddess of the Snow Mountain.

"The word filial piety, the elder and the lower son, when the hieroglyphs were formed in ancient times, it was a child supporting an old man, which can be seen that in the land of Middle-earth, from the beginning of the birth of civilization, filial piety to the old man has become the due righteousness." Looking at the old woman, Lu Ning sighed, but she couldn't help but think of her mother, a few years ago, her mother had enjoyed a few years of family fun, and her body seemed to be getting stronger and stronger.

Wu Qiong, a few days ago, racked her brains how to use the local language to describe the word filial piety in the Central Plains, and now she says it again? The old man has some sadness in his eyes? But I don't know what to say.

Lu Ning looked at Gan Yingxiu and said, "Is that so?" I think there are sages in this family? made an exception to allow his family to convert to Tiandaoism, and even entered the name of Zhongtu in the household register? It's just that from now on, we must follow the teachings of Heavenly Dao, respect the old and love the virtuous? If not? Punished by its own court. ”

In the Baltic region, the belief in the freedom of belief in the Heavenly Daoist Sect, but when he became a Heavenly Taoist Sect, he changed his name to the local household registration of the Great Qi State and became an official citizen of the Qi State? But is it a privilege that only Brahmins and Kshatriyas have? Vaishyas, on the other hand, need the local order to select virtuous families, Shudra commoners and slaves, and even more so to have great merits or special piety to be recognized by the gods.

In Lu Ning's opinion, this is also a kind of hunger marketing, so that the Heavenly Daoist with the name of Qi people? Becoming a superior person in the eyes of all the local natives is also a way to enter the body.

And Gan Yingxiu listened to Lu Ning's words? Immediately overjoyed, strong to suppress the excitement? Say to the old woman.

The old woman was a little stunned, maybe? I don't know what Heavenly Taoism or anything like that? Although she is old, she sees the world? But after all, we have limited knowledge of foreign affairs, and we do not know what the so-called conversion to Tiandao represents on both sides of the Ganges River today.

Outside, there was a question from Dou Shenbao, but he asked people to stop.

Wu Qiong saw Lu Ning's gesture and hurriedly walked out.

A group of people came over outside the house, but it was the dhara slave who instigated the little master, and a group of people behind him, smiling and surrounded by a tall strong man, wrapped in animal skin, with a piece of iron on his chest as a goggle, looking at his face and clothes, he was an Arakan.

"I'm a Tajik tax officer, and I heard that there are a few Qi people here, and I'm here to pay a visit!" That's what the big man of Arakan probably meant, and his tone was polite, but a pair of wolf eyes looked Wu Qiong up and down, revealing a drooping look.

Although Wu Qiong is not the best Qing'e Wei, she is beautiful, and she was born in the Royal Higher Women's College in Bianjing, wearing beige clothes and pants, and has an elegant temperament, she is also an outstanding person in Bianjing, not to mention that in this southern region, where have you seen such a temperament and such a color?

It's just that Tajiks are such barbarisms, many times they act on instinct, and there is no etiquette constraints, so when they look at Wu Qiong, they show the appearance of a wolf brother.

"Get out!" Dou Shenbao frowned.

The local Arakanese barbarians had evacuated according to the Great Qi note, but as in other states, the Arakanese still left behind a tax collector and dozens of retinues.

Obviously, the Arakanese still don't have self-knowledge, if they position themselves as the servant army of the client state, they can get a lot of benefits by returning the whole body, but if they really regard themselves as strong allies, thinking that the Qi people can't leave them, then friction will inevitably arise.

Today, the chief tax collector of Dhaka, or the new Nanning City, and the governor of the Southern Regions, Du Ting, are in conflict.

Du Ying didn't know what he wanted, and maybe tried his best to maintain the relationship so as not to break down.

Dou Shenbao ignored these, he knew that in the eyes of the Son of Heaven, small countries in the Southern Regions such as Arakan were not worth mentioning at all, and it was better to live in peace.

The Arakan tax order in front of him, waiting in the public office to divide the accounts, but running out to contact the local people, this has become a certain unstable factor, which is harmful to the rule of the Great Qi here.

Tajik obviously didn't expect that this Qi person would be so arrogant and not give him any face.

Wu Qiong didn't translate Dou Shenbao's cold word, but Tajik could naturally see what Dou Shenbao was talking about.

The slave who was actually in power in this fisherman clinged to him, and when he heard that there was a woman in this fisherman who was doing well, and there was no man, he came around, and wanted to find a few female slaves to take back and ravage, but he didn't want to hear that the Qi people also came to this house, so he came to visit and see what the Qi people meant, but he immediately touched his nose.

Tajikistan's face turned pale, and he said coldly: "I won't tell you, I'll go and tell Lord Liu, I and Lord Liu, but we often meet." ”

Wu Qiong translated these words to Dou Shenbao, who didn't bother to pay attention to him at all, and pointed to the path that extended out of the village, meaning to tell him to get out of the house quickly.

Inside the house, Lu Ning heard the dispute outside, frowned slightly, and said: "Help me draft a charter, so that all the Arakan people will leave the Southern Regions Province, cover the Southern Regions to appease the envoy seal, and send it to Nanning tomorrow." ”

I have to say that the Arakan barbarians played a great role in the conquest of Bengal and the early law and order, after all, the strength of the Great Qi is limited, and they try not to create tragedies so as not to leave a stigma in history, and the dirty work is often done by these servant troops, but now is obviously the time to let them leave, send more gold and silver to the king of Arakan, or replace it with silk, porcelain, spirits, tea, sugar, etc.
