Chapter 1388: Choice

Chapter 1388 Choice

Two days later, a huge contingent of men and horses and emaciated cattle and sheep arrived on the north side of the Great Trap.

In addition to the wagons of the Great Song caravans, there were also the crude carriages of the Tatars themselves, in which women and children sat and some carried lambs.

The lamb is the future of the tribe.

In the past two days, Su You has not been idle, and a large cauldron has been set up at the mouth of the big trap, in which the broth and batter are boiling.

There is also hot water and medicinal soup.

Dragged down by Zhao Ji, the disaster star, the Great Song Dynasty has rich experience in disaster relief and is quite disciplined.

Seeing Guido Gyaltsen, Su You hurriedly greeted him: "Great monk, you are a living Buddha, just sit in the Shuangta Temple in the future, can't you just send a disciple to this kind of thing?" ”

Guido Gyaltsen Gresh bowed: "Yeshe Waisha has saved more than 100,000 living beings this time, and his merit is immeasurable. ”

Su You shook his head: "This is just the beginning, at most it can be regarded as an emergency, this is the head of Su Rizhe who blocked divination, right?" ”

Su Rizhe prostrate on the ground: "Immortal Heaven did not abandon its children in the end, it instructed us to follow the direction of the wild goose's flight out of the wind and snow. ”

"The two tribes of Zhubu and White Tartar, following the wishes of the Immortal Heaven, will be the most loyal tribes of Geriletu in the future."

What does it mean? Su You didn't understand, but quickly helped the old man up: "Loyalty is generally ineffective when you are too hungry and too full, and words after being drunk. Helping you is only out of compassion for all people, and your loyalty is not a commodity, even if it is the most expensive commodity. ”

"If I say I can't help you, will my loyalty be gone?"

Su Rizhe suddenly showed a look of horror.

Su You took his hand: "Don't get me wrong, old man, I mean that long-term reciprocity is more reliable than simple loyalty." ”

"Are you disloyal to the Liao? But why do they want to take away your stallions and bring the punishment of the Immortal Heaven? ”

"There is a sage among our Han people who said that if the monarch treats the people as his own children, then his people will treat him as his own parents;"

"But if he treats his people as a robber, then his people will treat him as enemies."

"Two hundred carts of food are only enough for you to lead your tribe here, and I haven't actually helped you much, so I am now ashamed of your loyalty."

"Next, we should discuss together how to survive this disaster, and even make the two tribes more prosperous than before the disaster."

"After doing this, I dare to thank you for your loyalty on behalf of Your Majesty and for Da Song."

Only then did Su Rizhe understand, and said gratefully: "Geriletu has already saved our lives, and Su Rizhe doesn't dare to ask too much......"

Su You shook his head: "Saving your life is not to let you wait for death, but to give you a future...... Let's go, let's go to the Twin Towers Temple to have a good discussion. ”

When they arrived at the Shuangta Temple, everyone sat down, and Su You served Su Rizhe a pot of milk tea: "Drink some first, since you have arrived in the Great Song Dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty will not care about your life or death, this point, first of all, please rest assured." ”

Listening to Su Rizhe talk about this disaster, Su You knew that although the nomads were strong, many times they started wars, it was better to gamble for their lives.

This white plague is enough for Da Liao to drink a pot.

Listening to Su Rizhe, most of the surrounding tribes went to the Liao side, after all, the nomads thought that they started as nomads and seemed to be the more powerful Da Liao as the suzerain.

They were the same at first, but the road was dangerous, because everyone on the road was turned into bandits and wolves by the cold and hunger.

Blocking Bu and White Tartar are adjacent to each other, and the goods of the Great Song Dynasty mainly flow into the Mobei Prairie through White Tartar, so Su Rizhe's first thought is to find a good brother to hold together.

And the White Tartar itself was not having a good time, and Mungentulak's father, the patriarch of the White Tartar, Erdemutu, was already seriously ill and fell into a coma.

When Su Rizhe led the two tribes to a place called Naduhai, Erdemutu suddenly woke up and pointed to the geese in the sky: "Following the blind crowd, you will only see arrogance and wind and snow; Follow the smart geese to find a warm spring. ”

"Head south, my old friend. There are palace-like temples, the auspicious scriptures of the Buddha, and the wisdom of Geriletu, which is like a salt lake. ”

"Take our tribes, go to the south, go to the south!"

After saying this, Erdemutu died.

Erdemutu, in Tatar, means "talented and learned", but there is a desert in the south, and this decision is not easy to make.

At this moment, a stone tablet caught Su Rizhe's attention, with some strange and magical words written on it.

Su Rizhe ordered everyone to look for it, and soon, another piece was found in the south.

In this way, everyone relied on the search for the stone monument, found the road from the Gobi, walked out of the desert step by step, and arrived at the salt sea.

Su You touched his nose, this is the road monument secretly buried by the caravan, and it was actually cracked by the Tatars.

I had to say: "That's what I let people bury, and the caravan will ...... in the future."

Su Rizhe was shocked: "Geriletu knows that we will have this disaster? Gave us a guide through the desert in advance? ”

He bowed down with gratitude and sang with his hands dancing: "Wise and bright Geriletu, the wind and snow can only stop in front of you, your wisdom is like the salt lake of Lou Bobei, not only clear and clear, but also a great wealth ......"

Su You didn't understand at all, and after Hutu's translation, he shook his head again and again, and quickly helped Su Rizhe up: "Old man, our sage said that a wise person should never stop making himself more perfect, just like the immortal heavenly scriptures; Like the earth under our feet, we should be able to carry everything and cultivate our own profound and generous character. ”

"Immortality will only help those who will always work hard and never give up."

"So save yourselves."

Su Rizhe said respectfully: "Griletu, what should we do? ”

Su You said: "You have physical strength and can work, and now you have only lost cattle and sheep, but you have not lost your hands and feet. You can earn back the lost cattle and sheep through your labor, and there are more and better cattle and sheep. ”

"Now that Hexi Road is mining, I hope you will join in it, tribal men, and help us transport the minerals; Women and children, go and help the pastures of Cheltan to breed herds. ”

"The man's remuneration is three meals a day, and every month, the owner of the mine will give you two hundred copper coins; The remuneration of women and children is one-tenth of the herd in charge. ”

"It's a year and a half, and when the disaster is over and the newborn lambs become strong breeders, you can return to the grasslands."

"At that time, men can exchange their savings for the things you need, and women and children will bring your harvest. You can start your new life all over again. ”

Su Rizhe asked, "Men and women, must be separated?" ”

Su You said: "You can also not be separated, but I am afraid that if that happens, you will end up greedy for the life of the Song Dynasty and unwilling to return to the grassland." ”

"Now the Song Dynasty has a policy, if you are willing to become the subjects of the Great Song Dynasty, one ding will give two hundred acres of pasture land for cultivation and grazing."

"These lands will become the private property of small families, and no one will be vassals of anyone other than paying taxes for the imperial court."

"But nomadic life is not good, because then it will go to other people's land, interfere with other people's lives, and their own cattle and sheep will also eat other people's pasture."

Su Rizhe was a little puzzled: "Wasn't the grass given to us by Changshengtian?" ”

Su You said with a smile: "The grass on your grassland is, and we here grow the grass by ourselves, so we have to draw the boundaries of the land." ”

"The Delete Dan Horse Farm is the same as your grassland, but it is a huge horse farm that belongs to the country and to His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, so it can accommodate your original way of life."

"But you can't take an inch into the mercy of His Majesty the Emperor, and the military horse farm can't accommodate all your population, so men working and women and children grazing are the best and most helpful choices."

"By the way, every six days, you'll have one day together."

"You can choose either way, and it's best to discuss it with everyone. If you choose the lifestyle of one ding and two hundred acres of grassland, you will become Song people in the future, and you will be included in the household management of the Great Song Dynasty, and you will not be able to move at will. You need to cultivate your own land, take care of your family, and pay taxes for the country's service, this is the way of life of the Song people. ”

"If you choose to continue to live the life of a herdsman and return to the Mobei Prairie in the future, then separate the men and women, persist for a year and a half, and finally return to their hometown with their savings and cattle and sheep."

"Whichever you choose, I'll arrange it. Because the Immortal Heaven must have brought you here for a reason, isn't it? ”
