In the villages, many farmers are busy.

This is the land of the Western Jurchens, on the road of Riding Horses and Horses, watching these Jurchens plowing the fields, Lu Ning felt a strange feeling in his heart, and when he really came to this world, he broke many of the original inherent understandings.

Huanzhou crosses the Yalu River, the east is mountainous, the terrain is steep, the living Jurchen who lives there is really called the Changbai Mountain tribes, it is the Baishan Jin and the Bohai people to form a tribe by fusion, also known as the East Jurchen tribes, fishing and hunting for a living, extremely fierce and good at fighting.

In the southwest of Hengzhou, to the lower reaches of the Datong River, there are large plains, and the Jurchens who live here are the Yalu River tribes, also known as the West Jurchen tribes, and those who live in the plains are gradually taking the road of farming, which is much milder than the East Jurchens.

Nowadays, Goryeo is based on Xijing and Pyongyang as the frontier, mainly encroaching on the plains where the Western Jurchen tribes live.

As for the battle with the Eastern Jurchens, it may not be until the Ming Dynasty that the Goryeo people really entered the land of the Jurchen tribes in Changbai Mountain, and because the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was more confused, he recognized that the land of the Jurchen tribes in Changbai Mountain south of the Yalu River was owned by the Goryeo, which made the Jurchens of the Changbai Mountain tribes complain, and they could not get the support of the suzerains of the Central Plains and completely lost their homeland.

And the western Jurchens, who wanted to come to the majority, finally integrated into the Korean ethnic group.

The bearded old man who accompanied Lu Ning was the leader of thousands of Western Jurchen households who settled on the bank of the Ballu River, and this Jurchen was called the surname of the Ballu River in ancient times, called the Bald Treasury Department, and the old man's name was Bald Kusarimo, which roughly means that it is the meaning of the wise man on the bank of the Ballu River.

This old Jurchen patriarch did have some insight, and just heard that Huanzhou had changed hands, so he went to Huanzhou in person and asked to be attached.

It turns out that recently, the Balkubu has been deeply disturbed by the Koreans.

Wang Zhao, the lord of Goryeo, took Pyongyang as the frontier in Xijing, invaded the southwest plain, and his influence has extended to the area of the Cheongcheon River, and began to build cities on both sides of the Cheongcheon River.

And Changqing Town, more than 100 miles away from the center of the Bald Treasury Village, Goryeo officials, every year to collect taxes, and the taxes are getting higher and higher, a while ago, there was an order to levy Ding from the Bald Treasury Department, go to the upper reaches of the Qingchuan River more than 200 miles to the east, and help the Goryeo people build a city.

The bald Kusarimo patriarch asked Huanzhou for help, but the Khitans were too busy to take care of themselves at that time, and after hearing that Huanzhou was occupied by the Qi people, the old patriarch hurriedly went to Huanzhou to ask to see the Qi officials, and then he saw Lu Ning.

Lu Ning led Yu Linwei at the moment and followed the old patriarch to this bald village.

The distance between Huanzhou and the Balku Village is about the same as that of Changqing Town in Goryeo, which is about 100 miles.

With Lu Ning's original bald library village, there is also Queen Xiao who has just arrived in Huanzhou, and her tall maid Hu Dugu is naturally with her.

"Liao" as an independent area outside the Central Plains, Lu Ning believes that it no longer exists, now speaking, Liao restores the ancient meaning, for the Central Plains Liao water land, since there is no Liao King, since there can be no more "Liao Princess" said, it is to Queen Xiao, the Liao Princess, not long ago was renamed the county lord of North Korea.

In terms of titles, it has been lowered by two grades, princesses, princesses, etc. are the first grade, the county lord and the lady of the country are the first grade, and the county lord and the county lady are the second grade.

As an ancient place name, "Korea" is mentioned in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" and "Historical Records", and its location is in the sea east of the Central Plains, Liaodong and the Far East.

But basically, few people nowadays will associate the Goryeo people with the ancient place name of North Korea, because Lu Ning named Empress Xiao as the "North Korean County Lord", which does not seem to be a serious knight, because "North Korea" is not the ancient county name of the Central Plains, this knighthood, it seems that because of Empress Xiao's prisoner of war status, and deliberately slighted her, and arbitrarily sealed the name of the county lord outside the Central Plains, which is Lu Ning's close minister, and I don't know that the current Holy Son of Heaven is thinking about North Korea.

On the bright side, Empress Xiao was demoted naturally because her importance to the Central Plains regime no longer exists, and the Khitan split, that is, Yelu Gong Sage is about to become a thing of the past, let alone the sleeping king.

Hu Dugu was also secretly anxious in his heart, he was really afraid that one day the master would anger Qi Tianzi again, and he would be sent directly to the military art team of a large battalion to be a servant, or he would also be named Mrs. Hu and sent to do needlework until he died of old age.

Helping Empress Xiao lead the horse, Hu Dugu looked at Lu Ning's back in front of him, and said softly: "Niangniang, the Holy Son of Heaven seems to be getting more and more majestic!" ”

Hu Dugu really thinks so.

Empress Xiao didn't bother to pay attention to her, but indeed, looking at this Qi Tianzi now, it seems to be different from the past, splitting the Khitan, occupying Zhongjing and Tokyo, if you count Youzhou, this Qi Tianzi has occupied the land of the Khitan Sanjing, and "Liao" has actually destroyed the country.

Thinking about the first time I met the emperor of the Central Plains, I began to think that he acted very absurdly, and then I knew that he was brave, and I felt that he was brave and brave, and now, it seems that I don't know more and more that he is what kind of person he is, I only know that this is a terrifying and terrifying character, and even the wisdom of knowledge, just like the legendary shaman prophet, a character only in myths and legends, as for the prosperity of his martial arts, it is a trivial matter.

……

The wooden fence enclosing the village is extremely high, and the arrow towers are numerous, obviously the Western Jurchen is gradually turning to farming, but the fierce wind is still there, and the mentality is different from that of fishing and hunting, and there are more strong feelings of the farmers to protect their homes, rather than seeing that the enemy is strong, they will be expelled, and they can naturally find other mountain and woodland to live.

After all, it is extremely difficult to reclaim farmland, and the more farmland is cultivated, the more fertile it becomes, and it gradually becomes fertile land.

In the spacious earthen house similar to the council hall in the earthen village, Lu Ning sat at the top, and Queen Xiao sat next to her, and behind Queen Xiao stood Hu Dugu, and there were Cao Guangshi, Kong Shouzheng, and Tuoba Sanniang, the three team leaders, who sat at the bottom in turn.

Han Derang, the Huanzhou superintendent, sat on the other side.

Another team leader, Fu Qian, led Yu Linwei to listen to orders in the central square of the village, before Yu Linwei entered the village, he even put on heavy armor, and the light bow servants were on the bank of a river outside the village, guarding the horses.

After all, it is indispensable to guard against people.

In the council hall, Dhu Ku Sarimo complained about the barbarism of the Goryeo people, saying that because of the large number of men and the construction of a walled city to defend against the enemy, there were no incidents of being killed by the Goryeo, but there were many small Jurchen tribes that were slaughtered by the entire village of Goryeo officers and soldiers.

Lu Ning slowly drank the tea and listened to the accusations of the bald Kusarimo.

The bald Kusarimo didn't see the change in the expression of this Qi people's general court, and his heart gradually became a little uneasy.

Han Derang smiled slightly at this time: "The old Balku tribe, west of the Datong River, is originally Middle Earth, and now I inherit the great unification of Middle Earth, and the people of Great Qi will not tolerate foreign insults." ”

Bald Kusarimo was overjoyed, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, with the words of the official family, the old man will be relieved." ”

Bald Kusarimo knew what this "Han Inspector" was talking about, and he had already inquired very clearly.

Great Qi, like the Central Plains Dynasty in the past, claimed that all the land in the world was Qi land, and all the people in the world were subjects of Great Qi.

The same is true of the mountains and grasslands inhabited by the tribes, which are either claimed to be public land or private property of the royal family.

But in fact, the life of the attached tribes is no different from the past, and the taxes have become lighter than when they were suppressed by most of the others, and they are protected by the giant crossbow of the Great Qi Iron Horse.

In all parts of the border, Daqi has done this, and it has gradually become a certain rule, and the same is true for the tribes in Liaodong.

Moreover, even the slave households that were classified as the private property of the royal family and the ranch of the royal manor of the Great Qi Emperor, in addition to the restriction of freedom, were no different from ordinary good households, and even seemed to pay lighter taxes.

As for restricting freedom and the like, if you can survive in your hometown today, who wants to leave your hometown and go out to wander?

The tribe of Bald Kusarimo itself is owned by the tribe, and the property of the clan is distributed by him, and it is precisely because he tries to be fair and just that he has won the support of the headquarters formed by more than a dozen villages within a radius of dozens of miles.

Nowadays, with the Great Qi attached, at least there is no need to pay a lot of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes to Changqing Town in Goryeo, and those living utensils and agricultural tools that were regarded as treasures in the past can also be obtained at a very low price.

Not to mention, the Goryeo people are now forcing their tribe to send 2,000 men to the far northeast to help them build a city, which means that almost all the strong men of their tribe will be squeezed dry by the Goryeo.

Originally, I thought that if Daqi could not shelter his own tribe, he would only be prepared to resist the conquest of the Goryeo, and the tribes would also die out, and under the resistance, there might be a glimmer of life.

Listening to Han Derang's words, Bald Kusarimo was overjoyed, and then asked: "Dare to ask Shangguan, after my department, is it a private household, or the Holy Son of Heaven's slave department?" ”

Lu Ning almost squirted out a sip of tea, glanced at the old man, a little helpless, but also a little relieved, this is the benefit of a certain policy to adhere to the same, compared to the just implementation of this kind of mountains, rivers, farmland, and grasslands in the border land, the grassland is owned by the official or royal family, and the landlord tenant farmer has become the official tenant farmer's innovation, now, most of the people of the border tribes have already known that this change is greatly beneficial to their lower-class poor, and it is only the chief relatives of the tribe who are damaged.

Of course, this bald treasury department itself has a bit of the meaning of a primitive tribal commune, and the tribal class structure has not yet evolved to the stage of private property, so this old patriarch will be so happy, if the land is owned by this old patriarch, and it is another matter to attach it.

Han Derang was also slightly stunned, and then said with a smile: "Okay, it turns out that the clan is always a reasonable person, this bald Kuzhai, the Holy Son of Heaven has already instructed to change the ancient Fengzhai, the ancient Fengzhai, temporarily subordinate to Huanzhou, Zhizhai and other officials, and the Qin envoy Wen General Yuan has the power of the Wen General Academy, and the Wen General Yuan has Shang Fang Sword, and the tribal affairs of the borders can act cheaply on behalf of the Son of Heaven." ”

Lu Ning looked at the bald Kusarimo and smiled slightly: "The first governor of Gufengzhai has worked hard for the clan to be old, but how to write the name of the clan elder, please write it down." ”

Bald Kusarimo had already stood up, knelt down and kowtowed to the southwest, "Little old man obeys the order, long live the emperor, long live, long live!" ”

Lu Ning frowned slightly, in fact, Tang Gaozong once honored him as the emperor, but Lu Ning's future generations heard that he was called the emperor, and he couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.

A thought suddenly popped up in my heart, Korean copper, Japanese silver, and after the North Korean copper mines are surveyed and turned into their own private property, do you go to Japan by the way to take a turn and occupy the silver mountains there?

After all, precious metals are still very important today.

Nowadays, many of the copper mines in North Korea and the silver mines in Japan can be found and mined.

While pondering, the bald Kusarimo had already turned to him, and said respectfully: "The people of Great Qi should naturally use the Han surname and Han name, I don't know if the little old man has the honor, please give the surname of the General Court?" ”

Lu Ning smiled and said, "Since this place is Gufeng Village, how about the clan elders take Gu as their surname?" name, the official is not easy to transgress. ”

The bald Kusarimo had already applauded.

At the time of the dinner, the name of the bald Kusarimo had already been thought of, and it was called "Gu Youde" from then on, and the people of Gufeng Village either changed their ancient surnames or changed their Feng surnames, and the two major surnames of the local area that lasted for later generations were formed.
