Chapter 302: National Pride

"You Han people are mostly treacherous, it's not that we haven't sold these things, but these things are worthless in the eyes of you Han people, and you can only barely make ends meet if you work hard to gather, so it's better to go up to the mountains to hunt!"

Lu Su and Yang Xiu glanced at each other, and sure enough!

In fact, these Nanban people also traded with the Han people who went to the Nanban, but these Han people who traded with them kept the prices of herbs and animal skins very low. It's almost bought at the price of cabbage, and then sold at a high price to those rich people.

There is no way, there are only two kinds of people who are willing to go to Nanban and have the guts to trade with the other party. Either they are businessmen with the support of the family behind them, most of these people are from the Yizhou family, and they have already reached a wordless tacit understanding, and they all regard the treasure land of Nanban as their own back garden, and block them up to form a monopoly.

Then buy things from Nanban at a very low price and sell them again. Anyway, they are basically the only buyers, and they are not afraid that these barbarians have other means. Those who dare to trade with the barbarians in secret, if they are discovered, will be to raid their homes and exterminate their clans. A collusive hat is buttoned up, who dares to trade with these barbarians?

There is also this kind of people who have the courage to trade with the barbarians, except for the people of the family, there is only one kind of people left, that is, those desperate merchants.

Merchants who are bankrupt and in debt will always come to Nanban to try their luck before they despair. Maybe you can escape the family's tracking and find some good things?

There has always been a saying in the merchant circles of Yizhou, even if you have no way out, as long as you still have a stone of grain, you can go to Nanban to try your luck, maybe you will come back with a lot of money.

Although this kind of person may say that the purchase price may be more generous than that of the family, it is not much better. In desperation, which of these people doesn't want to maximize their benefits? After this village, there will be no such shop, and I don't know if I will have such good luck next time.

In this case, the transaction between the Han barbarians has always been in a state of deformity. The Yizhou family hid Liu Yan and lay on Nanban's body frantically sucking blood. It doesn't matter to them what barbarians can't get by, and what barbarian invasions are, as long as it doesn't affect their high status.

That's why Yuan Shucai looks down on these families in Yizhou so much.

If the families in the north, especially in the Central Plains, mostly focus on the world, and the families in Jiangdong are mostly in a corner, then these Yizhou families are really muddy and can't support the wall, and they don't deserve to be called families at all, and those bad gentry are just like that!

Throughout the Three Kingdoms, Wei has always treated the world as its own. Wu has always only focused on Jingzhou and Yangzhou, with one acre and three points of land. Although Shu has the intention of the Northern Expedition, there have always been pig teammates behind him. These Yizhou families wish that Shu would fall quickly, and without the suppression of Zhuge Liang and other Jingzhou faction people, this Yizhou is still their decision in the end.

The Wei country has a great cause, and it must be too lazy to pay attention to their small place. As long as they don't rebel or die, they are still well-known Yizhou administrators.

"Rest assured, the barbarian king did not dominate the previous transaction. It is the self-serving behavior of those who are self-interested. The herbs and hides in your mountains are very valuable. We have come to pay attention to commerce as soon as possible, and have already drawn up the norms for trade between the two sides. We have also set the lowest prices for some common herbs and animal skins, which will definitely not make you feel cold. Lu Su said solemnly with a sincere expression.

"Han is strong and weak, this is a status quo that is difficult to change, I believe you also understand. Therefore, my lord hopes that you barbarians can integrate into our Han people and become a member of our Han people. As long as you barbarians are willing, our lord promises to treat you equally and will not deceive you. ”

Lu Su seemed to be born with a convincing and recognized affinity, and this resounding words made all the barbarians tremble in their hearts.

"The Han people have come to discriminate against us and other Nanban people who don't understand etiquette, although your lord's idea is good, but how easy is it to implement? What's more, although we barbarians are weak, we also have backbone, why do we need to integrate into you Han people? Zhu Rong was not fooled by Lu Su's words, and said coldly.

"There have been contradictions between Han and Barbarians for a long time, but this is not a reason why you can't integrate into our Han people. Think about the Warring States Period, weren't the Qin and Chu states all regarded as barbarians? Haven't these people become so-called Han people now? Lu Su said calmly.

"We Han people are not distinguished by geography and appearance. As long as you recognize the culture of our Han people, recognize the identity of our Han people, and are willing to integrate into us, you are naturally Han people. ”

After Yuan Shu's in-depth analysis, the originally deep-rooted Confucianism in the hearts of Lu Su and others was shattered.

In the final analysis, the so-called nation and the so-called country do not rely on blood, but on culture and beliefs. Otherwise, shouldn't the United States throw itself into the arms of Europe or Africa?

Of course, the difference in appearance and language will inevitably open up the relationship between people, but the appearance of the Nanban people is no different from that of the Han people, but it is more majestic and rough.

As long as you educate well, it will not be difficult to spend decades fully integrating the barbarians into the Han. Because Nanban's own culture is very simple and fragile, the vast majority of low-level barbarians only know the name of their tribe and the great ancestor Zhurong, and nothing else is clear.

A little embellishment of their history can be integrated into the Han. The ancestor is Zhurong? That's just right! There is also a Zhu Rong among the many gods of the Han Dynasty, and it would be nice to change it a little.

The so-called nation is constantly merging and changing. Didn't the Qin State, which destroyed the Six Kingdoms and unified the world, also be regarded as barbarians before? As a result, after the unification of the world, didn't everyone still get together and become Han Chinese? The strength of the Han people lies in their strong inclusiveness. Thousands of years of ups and downs are still standing, no matter how backward we can catch up, enough to see our excellence.

"As for why you want to blend in with us." Lu Su's tone was stunned, and a sense of pride spontaneously arose in his heart: "Because our Han people are strong, they are extremely powerful in all aspects. It is an eternal principle of heaven that the law of the jungle is immutable, and if you have the ability, you can also turn our Han people into you, as long as you can do it! ”

Lu Su, who has always been a good man, rarely showed a hint of high-spiritedness. As a Han Chinese, the pride in my heart is unimaginable to these barbarians.

Although there is no timidity on the surface, in fact, in the hearts of all the alien races around the Han Dynasty, the Han people are powerful and superior to them. It is not inferiority, but a kind of natural obedience of the weak to the strong.

Just like countless alien races, all of whom regard marrying a Han princess as the highest honor, they all deeply understand the strength of the Han people in their hearts. So in their hearts, they always put themselves in a lower position.

But there is no eternal strength in this world, and no opponent will only lead to infighting, which will lead to your own slow weakening. This is also the reason why China's 5,000-year history has been divided and merged, and there have been ups and downs.

The Han Dynasty had basically expanded their territory to the maximum they could control. No matter how big it is, the Son of Heaven who sits in the center can't manage it. That's why the big Han will ignore the territory that has been beaten down after conquering the aliens, pat their butts and leave, and as a result, they will cheapen other aliens in vain. Such a war only costs the people and money, and the reckless use of military force has become the offensive discourse of some Confucian scholars.
