The Western Capital is Stormy Chapter 49: Lop Nur Interesting Facts
Liang Zhou pulled the fantasizing Harigana out of the crowd, he didn't want such a good man, so he was buried in a mother-in-law who was five big and three rough.
"The livestock shop in front, you help me bring five sheep, just now that barbarian didn't want money, he wanted five sheep, and he was angry with me."
Harigana looked up at the shop, saying that it was a shop, but it was actually a sheepfold, and those who looked at the cattle were some small nobles under the big nobles.
The Northern Barbarians are different from the Northern Zhou Dynasty, they first advocate force, the more powerful you are, the more respected, and second, they have a strict hierarchy, and there is only the custom of small nobles sending cattle and sheep to big nobles between big nobles and small nobles, so as to get the protection of big nobles. The petty aristocracy, on the other hand, exploited the herdsmen who were bankrupt and had no cattle, sheep and livestock, and worked for them.
This model is actually very unreliable, for example, the small nobles do not have many assets, and they are exploited by the big nobles, and they may become the lowest bankrupt herdsmen at any time, so that they are enslaved by other nobles, and only the big nobles will benefit in the end.
The biggest difference is the model of their aristocracy, they advocate kinship groups, that is to say, the vast majority of the big nobles are relatives, and the five nobles of the Northern Barbarians are said to have the same queen of the two clans! It's incredible.
The most popular profession in the Northern Barbarians is not a warrior, but a veterinarian! There are often some barefoot men in the Central Plains here, who come to the Beiban to pretend to be veterinarians, and start a black-hearted business, while defrauding the cattle and sheep from the hands of the Beiban with empty gloves and white wolves, while cashing in these cattle and sheep, and then going to other places to continue to cheat.
For such people, the Northern Zhou is happy to see it, but the Northern Barbarians are deceived very painfully, they have no way to tell whether these veterinarians are liars, so the current Beiban, although the veterinarians are popular, but the treatment is definitely not as good as before.
Hazhigana recognized the man in the cattle shop, went up and talked to him, and took five sheep from him at a very low price.
Liang Zhou returned to the stall selling bear skins, only to hear the brute count five times, nodded, and said, "It's okay, this bear skin is yours." ā
Liang Zhou touched the bear skin in his hand and asked, "Why do you sell such a good fresh skin?" ā
The brute's face turned red again, and he said, "This is the largest number I recognize, and I won't recognize any more." ā
Sure enough, he can't count!
Liang Zhou sighed: "If I mix around in this field for a few more days, I may be able to pick up a lot of big bargains!" It's a pity. ā
Harigana asked, "What is a pity?" ā
Liang Zhou turned around and said: "Our time is very tight, we must rush back to Chang'an before the year, that is to say, every time we delay here for one more day, we will return to Chang'an one day late, the first time to run an errand for the Lord, I must finish it beautifully." Time waits for no one. ā
Liang Zhou did not stop much in the field, and led the convoy all the way north, and settled in the temporary marching tent at Lop Nur.
Liang Zhou asked Harigana to arrange for the convoy to be stationed in a remote place downwind, and he went to the inn first.
Entering the inn, Liang Zhou shook the sand on his body, patted the counter of the inn, and said, "Pour a bowl of water to moisten your throat first." ā
"Okay."
The shopkeeper of the inn is an authentic Northern Zhou man, the reason why he went deep into the Beiban, is to fancy the unique business opportunities here, although the days are a little harder, but the merchants who come here will choose to live in his shop, and even live for half a month, his business in this desert is also the only scorpion.
Liang Zhou drank two bowls of water in a row, licked his dry lips, and said, "Listen to the accent, you are from Guannei, right?" How did you get here to start trading? ā
The shopkeeper said with a smile: "I won't tell you, the little old man doesn't want to suffer here, but the place where the little old man is in the picture, others also take a fancy to the place, and the place that others don't like, so it can be our turn to pick, who called us weak, and we don't have real relatives to help, so we can only make a living." ā
Liang Zhoule said: "It's okay here, it's just a little harder, if you save enough money, go back to your hometown, depending on your age, don't feed this body with sand." ā
The shopkeeper smiled and said: "I have had this plan for a long time, but my son and daughter-in-law are reluctant to come here, so I have to stay here for a while." ā
Liang Zhou asked, "What about your son and daughter-in-law?" ā
The shopkeeper said: "My son has just become a captain, and he is on the edge of Rouge Mountain, and his daughter-in-law has returned to her parents' house, where can she suffer this?" ā
Liang Zhou nodded, everyone has their own fate, Liang Zhou is not a bad person, he can't take care of everything, this kind of thing where one is willing to fight and one is willing to suffer, who can say clearly?
It's just a hotel, just a casual chat.
The shopkeeper arranged two upper rooms for Liang Zhou and Harigana, as for the people they brought, they didn't have such a good treatment, they were all good to live in, and they didn't get buried by the sand at night, so they had to get up and continue to work.
Liang Zhou had just entered the house, and before he could take off his clothes, he heard a commotion outside, so he quickly fastened his belt and opened the door to look outside.
On the first floor, several northern barbarians were shouting and scolding around the two people.
The next door, Harigana, had already walked downstairs, and without knowing what to say to them, he turned and walked upstairs again.
Liang Zhou saw him come up and asked, "What are they doing, so disturbing?" ā
Harigana said: "It's two Central Plains people, who killed their livestock, and those people quit and are reasoning with them." ā
Liang Zhou said: "If you kill other people's livestock, you will pay for it." ā
Liang Zhou held on to the handrail and shouted down: "Crooked! What's the noise? Do you know if you're disturbing the people? If you kill other people's livestock, you will lose people's money, and then you will quarrel out, this is your house, do you have a sense of public morality if you make such a loud noise? ā
Liang Zhou's voice went down, and the two groups of people were immediately unhappy, and after a while, two men with big shoulders and round waists came up and came directly to Liang Zhou.
"I'll see! What's the situation? Brother Ha, help! ā
Liang Zhou quickly hid behind Harigana and peeked over there.
"What you just yelled at? Our prince told you to go down! ā
Harigana said, "It's you who are too loud, what? Want to fight? ā
"That's it, you still told us to go down, you asked him to come up, the bottom is too spacious, I can't use it."
"Oh, boy, in the realm of Lop Nur, there are not many people who dare to talk to our prince like this, only five, six, seven, eight or ninety, ......."
āJQKļ¼ Do you play poker? ā
"That's all! What kind of character are you, kid? Walk, go down with us, our prince invites you, you don't go, don't blame our brother for being rude, take you down! ā
Harigana turned around and asked, "What should I do?" It's a little nobleman in Lop Nur, we have to live from him, and it's not a good thing to offend him. ā
Liang Zhou said: "Who called me born cheap, and caused this trouble, let's go, go down and take a look, you must remind me when I commit cheap again in the future, lest I get into trouble again!" ā
Hariga was stunned and said, "You came too suddenly, I can't react, how can I remind you?" ā
Liang Zhou was speechless, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Brother Ha, follow me, you have been wronged." ā
"You know!"
"I'll just tell you, you dare to complain, don't you? Consider yourself unlucky, didn't you say you were going to mess with me? Hey, manly man, a spit and a nail, if you don't count, I despise you. ā
"Did you talk too much?"
"So-so, right? There will always be, don't take it too seriously, if you are serious, you will lose. ā
Harigana watched Liang Zhou talk to the two big men in front of him heartlessly, asking for a while's age, and asking if they had married their mother-in-law, Harigana scratched his ass indecently when he saw him, and unconsciously reached out and scratched himself.
"I'm not itching, what am I scratching?"
Harigana scratched his hair, he had been successfully led astray by Liang Zhou.
When Liang Zhou walked downstairs, the shopkeeper nodded and bowed there, with a wry smile on his face, obviously he couldn't afford to offend this little nobleman.
Liang Zhou walked over with a smile, enthusiastically pulled the little nobleman with pigtails on his head, shook his hand, and asked, "Little brother Liang Zhou, I don't know who is the name of this chic, handsome and dashing prince?" Speak it out and listen to it, maybe we have some hard relationship between us. ā
The little nobleman was stunned for a moment, watching his hand shake in Liang Zhou's hand for a while, and his heart suddenly burst, shouldn't he have met some evil person?
The little nobleman quickly withdrew his hand, quickly stepped back, and waved his hand to call two big men to stand in front of him, only then did he feel that he could be safer.
Liang Zhou is embarrassed, this is a Northern Barbarian? How can you be as timid as a rabbit?
Harigana stepped forward, clasped his right hand into a fist and patted his chest, bowed and saluted, "Kusubo Harigana." ā
The little nobleman came out of the two big men separately, and returned the same salute and said, "Luo Bu Po Su Song." ā
Then the two hugged each other and patted each other on the back, and the ceremony was completed.
Harigana said: "I just heard your noise, our lord has been running around for days, and is about to rest, but he is disturbed by this voice, and he is very offended. ā
Su Song said: "It's Xiao Wang who is rude in front, no wonder your lord, Xiao Wang is here to make amends." ā
Harigana stabbed Liang Zhou, Liang Zhou came back to his senses and said: "Misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding, since everyone is so familiar, then what's the matter with you, let's study and study it together, solve it early, and go to sleep." ā
Su Song nodded and said, "That's the reason." It was these two who killed me in a circle of more than 100 sheep, and the next person reported that they had come here, so Xiao Wang chased them here and asked them to compensate. ā
Liang Zhou looked at the two people, and saw that these two people had red lips and white teeth, tight eyebrows between their eyebrows, and flat throats.
Liang turned his head to look at the prince with pigtails, could he have found out that these two were girls, had evil intentions, and deliberately framed them?
At this time, Harigana said: "Our Northern Barbarians have a straightforward personality, and there is one thing to say, Fang Cai Su Song said that you killed more than 100 of their sheep, is this thing true?" ā
One of the two women lightly opened her lips and said, "Yes, we killed it." ā
Harigana said: "Since you admit it, then naturally there is nothing to say, the cattle and sheep on the grassland are the lives of our northern barbarians, you killed more than 100 in a row, this is like asking for our lives, it is impossible not to compensate, say, how do you want to compensate?" ā
The woman said, "I did not kill your animals with the intention of killing them, but I had to kill them to save people." ā
"Saving people? Are you kidding? To save who needs to kill sheep? And he who doesn't kill others, only kills my sheep in Susong? ā
The woman smiled and said, "I really don't kill other people's sheep, only your circle, you must kill, and you must bury it carefully, and you must not let others eat meat!" ā
Su Song said angrily: "Do you really think that I, Su Song, am a bully? It is really unreasonable that someone else will not kill me, but will kill me! ā
Su Song's thugs surrounded the two again, Liang Zhou's vision was blocked, and he was not happy, so he stretched out his hand and pulled one person away: "Go away, delay me watching the game." ā
