Two flowers bloom.

In the vast land of China, there are many lofty mountains and mountains. In the southwest region, it is Daba Mountain, and Qinling is the leader, but the mountains are steep, and there are many mountain people.

These mountain people have been active in the mountains for generations, maintaining the customs of ancient civilization.

Of course, with the activities of the Han people, there were many Han people who went up to the mountains to escape the war, and the customs gradually changed. For example, the Shanyue people in Jiangdong, in fact, many are Han people who go up the mountain, also known as Shanyue.

In the west of this Fangling, in the mountainous area of the eastern part of Daba Mountain, there are countless mountain people, how many can not be counted, some of the mountainous areas are really high mountains and steep, that is, even the strongest mountain people, it is extremely difficult to get out and walk in.

With the activities of the Fangling government this time, 780,000 mountain people dragged their families and mouths, led the ploughing cattle, and carried the soil dogs down the mountain before the spring ploughing.

The crowd of this Daba Mountain has suddenly decreased a lot, but there is still a lot left.

Ma Tao's department, which rejected Ma Liang and took the Quyuan plough given by Ma Liang, was the largest group of left-behind ethnic groups in the western mountainous area of Fangling.

In fact, this ethnic group is relatively scattered, and the village stretches over many hills, with a population of more than 12,000 people. Among them, the largest number is the surname Ma (transliteration).

Ba people also have surnames, ethnic groups are generally linked by surnames, and there are no Han rules, as long as the bloodline is not too close, the same surname can be married.

However, this tribe surnamed Ma is not pure, because there are also many Yi people, Qiang people, and Han people in the group, which are mixed tribes.

Ma Tao was the leader and was called Qu Shuai.

Such a person is of course privileged, which is one of the reasons why Ma Tao is reluctant to go down the mountain.

After trekking through mountains and rivers, Ma Tao finally returned to the ethnic gathering place deep in the mountains, which is a cottage, but there are no fences, only in some critical places, there are watchtowers.

In fact, this is enough, in the deep mountains of the cottage, the mountain is the best fence, only need to guard the road that can go up and down the mountain, you can defend the cottage.

"The handsome man is back."

At this moment, it is not yet the time for spring ploughing, and most of the mountain people have nothing to do. As Ma Tao brought people back, cheers rang out.

Ma Tao responded with a smile, and then returned to his home. It is a house made of pure wood, and after the entrance is a hall, in which an earthen stove with an iron pot is placed.

After Ma Tao came to the hall, he took off his shoes and sat down cross-legged. He said to two of the entourage: "Go and put the horse on the sleeve, the horse will be ......." Called. ”

Ma Tao said that there are a large number of people surnamed Ma, all of whom are powerful people in the group. Then Ma Tao said: "Go and call the blacksmith Jin Gui and the carpenter Wu Lin." ”

The two attendants left in response, and soon after, a group of people came to Hulala, all sitting cross-legged. Two of them were Han Chinese, one was the blacksmith Jin Gui, and the other was the carpenter Wu Lin.

Of course, there are blacksmiths and carpenters among the Ba people, but the skills are not very good, and the best craftsmen in this mountainous area are all Han Chinese.

In fact, in ancient times, the Pakistani people basically used bronze.

The Ba people are the remnants of the ancient Ba people, who rarely communicate with the outside world, and of course there are very few excellent blacksmiths.

The Ba people are better at farming, hunting, and crossing mountains and mountains.

Ma Tao saw that all the people who should have come came, so he took out the Quyuan plow on the side and put it among the crowd, and said: "This is a good thing, the plow improved by the Han government, I have tried it myself, and it saves a lot of effort than our plow." Jin Gui, Wu Lin, the two of you take it down and think about it to see if you can copy it. ”

"Yes."

Jin Gui, Wu Lin is a Han in the Ba tribe, only because of the technology has a little status, in front of the Ba nobles, but they are also quiet, dare not ask more, and should hold the plow down.

The magnates of the Ba people were more excited when they heard this, and if they saved their strength, they could cultivate more fields, and their lives would naturally be much better than last year.

After the excitement, a Patron nobleman asked: "Dashuai, this time the Han Fangling County Magistrate Shi summoned you over, just for this matter?" Can Han people be so good? Give us the plow? ”

"Of course it can't be that good, they're going to take us in." Ma Tao sneered when he heard this, talked about the matter for a while, and finally sneered: "The leaders of the six departments are actually willing to go down the mountain." Are those Han Chinese officials easy to get along with? It's hard to say what will happen to those mountain people when they go down the mountain, but I see that those leaders will soon be in a different place when they go down the mountain. ”

Nostalgia for his power is one of the reasons why Ma Tao rejected Ma Liang.

Fear for your own safety is the main reason.

Although the conditions given by Ma Liang are extremely generous, and Ma Tao is also excited, if he goes down the mountain and is killed, it will not be worth it.

What the marshal said was that the words of the Han people could not be believed. If we go down the mountain, we will definitely be killed. ”

"Handsome and wise."

Some of the powerful people were indeed seriously suspicious, but some people catered to Ma Tao, so they said one after another.

Ma Tao showed a smug look, a kind of pride that saw through the conspiracy of the Han people. Then Ma Tao said: "This is actually an opportunity. Although this Daba Mountain is vast, there are few suitable places for planting. The leaders of the six tribes led their subordinates down the mountain, leaving behind many mountain fields and cottages. We have this new plough again, so that our women will have more cubs, and the cubs will have more cubs, or in a few decades, this mountainous area will be ours. When the time comes, we will even have the ability to go down the mountain and seize the Han city. ”

Land is an important productive resource, even in mountainous areas.

At this time, the leader of the six divisions, like Ma Tao, had just returned to the mountains and was about to migrate down the mountain, and Ma Tao had already set his sights on the vacated mountains.

If you follow Ma Tao's plan, maybe there will really be a real Ba King here in a few decades.

But Guan Ping, are Ma Liang incompetent?

Ma Tao feels good about himself, and so do the Palestinians under his command.

They all agreed, and they all geared up, planning to go back, and then work hard to train their mothers, have more cubs, and occupy more mountains.

Soon the time for spring ploughing came, and the craftsmen of Ma Tao's department were Jin Gui, and Wu Lin had already copied the Quyuan plough and sold it to the mountain people.

This curved plough was sold to the people under its command at cost price.

And Ma Tao's Quyuan plow, but Ma Tao sold it to the people under his command at a high price, which really made a lot of money.

Either way, this plough is really easy to use. The mountain people took the zigzag plow, pulled out their own ploughing oxen, and quickly ploughed the fields on the mountain.

Everyone is looking forward to the future, with this plough, you can cultivate more acres, and next year's life will be better and better.

Those mountain people who came down the mountain were simply stupid.

I actually believe the words of the government, and I will definitely be exploited after going down the mountain.

However, Ma Tao spread rumors, saying that the government was luring the mountain people down the mountain, and they would definitely collect heavy taxes. In this way, the tribe was bewitched and insisted on staying in the mountains.

All in all, the mountains are good, the mountain people are good, and the mountains are paradise.

The bottom of the mountain is poor, the civilians are exploited, and the bottom of the mountain is purgatory.

And what happened to the leaders of the six mountain people who went down the mountain, as well as the powerful people in the tribes?

Guan Ping was properly settled, and each of the chiefs entered the house twice, and the magnates entered the house once, and an area in Fangling City was rebuilt, and these people were concentrated and resettled together.

Whether it is the Han people, the Ba people, or the Yi people.

And according to the agreement, he gave coins, wealth, and beautiful women.

Not only did they not die, but they were able to knock each other out.

Of course, the Han people are still close to the Han people, and vice versa. The three mountain leaders of the Han people often gather together for a drink.

This afternoon. Chen Zhou, Song Guang, and Zhao Fei drank together in the lobby of Chen Zhou's house.

The three leaders of the mountain people are just mountain people in the mountains, and they live in houses in the cottages. This two-entry mansion has a large lobby and complete furniture.

The three turtles sat behind the desk, not yet accustomed to kneeling and sitting, mainly sitting cross-legged. The wine is Mi's wine, given by Guan Ping, with two jars per person.

The dish is bacon, and there are pickles.

"It's really good wine. If it weren't for Guan Tai's kindness, how could we live a comfortable life now. Now is the time for spring ploughing, and even we, the leaders, have to go to the mountains to plough the fields. Now I drink wine and eat meat, and I have ten beautiful women waiting for me in the evening, which is really comforting. ”

Chen Zhou said with feelings.

"Not only that, but this big house is really comfortable. Our village in the mountains will leak rain when it rains. They were dressed in linen cloth on the mountain, and now they are all dressed in silk cloth, not to mention ten beautiful women, which is really watery. ”

Zhao Fei also said with feelings.

The two of them looked comfortable, drinking and eating food in small sips, which was very comfortable. But Song Guang was a little depressed, just drinking stuffy.

"Song Guang, why don't you seem to be happy?" Chen Zhou asked a little strangely.

"There is a fierce wife in the family, and the ten beauties given by Lord Taishou were given away by my wife." Song Guang said depressedly.

"Hahahaha." Chen Zhou, Zhao Fei laughed, and was overjoyed.

This is the hardest thing in the world. got a beauty, but I couldn't see the building, and I saw that the beauty was sent away by my wife.

Ha ha.

It's really worthy of sympathy, worthy of sympathy.

This incident is a small episode, although Song Guang is depressed, he is not so dead or alive. And as the only one of the three who can read and write, he has his own ambitions.

"Life is in the world, if you don't advance, you will retreat. Because we are the leaders, we have been rewarded for leading the mountain people down the mountain. But over time, that's it. I plan to hire a teacher to teach my children to read and write, and when they grow up, they will find famous teachers, and they will have the opportunity to become officials in the future. ”

Song Guang said.

Chen Zhou and Zhao Fei glanced at each other, and Chen Zhou said in a deep voice: "This matter is good, only reading and literacy can have a future." We are the leaders on the mountain together, and after going down the mountain, we are neighbors in the same county, so we should naturally help each other, and we can hire a teacher together, and if there are learned people in the family in the future, we can also help each other to find an official position. ”

"Okay." Zhao Fei also nodded and said.

Song Guang smiled, and the three of them decided.

This is the difference between those who stay on the mountain and those who come down.

Who is the one who eats and drinks spicy food?
