Chapter 337: Into Mobei
Li Shimin is not a person who can't endure hardship, but after being the emperor for a few years, it is also a little difficult to go from luxury to frugality, so he wiped the sand that inadvertently flew into his eyes, and asked the chamberlain to summon Sun Xiangfu to come over and ask him if there is any way to relieve the heat and fight against the wind and sand.
Then, Sun Xiangford asked his subordinate craftsmen to help him make a pair of dark green glasses, which belonged to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin, who is no stranger to glasses, felt the usefulness of sunglasses, and said to Sun Xiangfu in a somewhat reproachful tone, "With this wonderful thing, why don't you give it to me earlier?" ”
When Sun Xiangfu heard this, he was a little depressed, and said in his heart, "After so many years, your cheap and well-behaved character hasn't changed!" You don't do the same to others! ’
Then, with a look of grievance on his face, he said, "This thing was originally intended to be given to you!" However, the offering is also particular, this kind of weather is very hot, the wind and sand are easy to obscure, the glasses to you, in order to play the greatest role! ”
Hearing this, Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction, he didn't care about the horse. Seeing that Sun Xiangfu took out a pair of sunglasses from his arms again, after putting them on himself, he believed that Sun Xiangfu had been prepared.
However, Li Shimin still stretched out his hand to Sun Xiangfu and said, "Take it, you are young, it doesn't hurt to suffer some crimes, Fang Xiang is old and weak, why don't you know to be sympathetic to the old man!" ”
All right! Respecting the old and loving the young is the traditional virtue of the Chinese nation, Fang Xuanling is fifty years old, in this period, it is indeed a very old man, thanks to the good health of the family, he can ride a horse to accompany the emperor to Mobei This kind of harsh environment is also always on the side to help make suggestions, Li Shimin's reason is very strong, Sun Xiangfu gave him his glasses, convinced.
Then, Sun Xiangfu took out another pair of glasses from his arms, now, you shouldn't have any reason to take it! Except for the two of you, in this team, it is my brother's substantive grade that is the highest.
"Why do you have so many glasses on you?" Li Shimin asked curiously.
Then, the glasses on Sun Xiangfu's face disappeared again.
If there is anything wrong with Wei Chigong's body after he is seventy or eighty, it is definitely not ears, this guy's ears are too pointed, and he heard the conversation between Li Shimin and Sun Xiangfu along the wind, and then, slowly approaching, and then, with lightning speed, he snatched Sun Xiangfu's glasses away, he didn't care about what grade, humility, or face matters.
"Hey, that's good! The old man I wore it just right, and it should be a wedding gift from Zhengming to the dog. ”
Sun Xiangfu was extremely angry when he heard this, and said, "Wei Chi Laohei, according to what you say, do I want to return the ten glass ornaments that came with Baolin and the 10,000 yuan gift money?" ”
After Wei Chigong put on his glasses, he looked here, where he aimed, he didn't look at Sun Xiangfu, and waved his hand, "No, no, it's just one more piece." ”
Immediately, Wei Chigong felt that people were much more comfortable, and he didn't have to wipe the sand blowing into his eyes from time to time, and he didn't have such a strong burning sensation for the heat wave rising on the sand on the ground.
For such a faceless and skinless old goods, Sun Xiangfu has no way at all, if he grabs it, even if ten Sun Xiangfu comes, he can't get it back, so he has to give up.
Then, Sun Xiangfu had to take out all the inventory he had prepared a long time ago, like Li Jing, he was also a proper old man! Like Qin Qiong, who is sick and iron-related, Hou Junji, and Dugumou are also related, and after that, old qualifications like Li Ji and Duan Zhixuan, if you don't give it, won't you offend others.
"Hey, I originally wanted to sell tens of thousands of dollars, but now it's all for free, but, generals, the glasses are given away, but I want you to remember one thing.
This desert is the greatest enemy of our northern land, if it is wanton, no matter how capable it is, it will also become a barren land where it is difficult for human beings to survive, so in the future, if there is a war, I hope that you can kill as few people as possible, and give me all those captives, and I will let them plant trees here, only by constantly planting trees, can they resist the expansion of the desert, and it is possible to turn these sandy lands back into oases. ”
As soon as Sun Xiangfu said this, the generals who had experienced it on the spot immediately understood it and expressed their approval and agreement.
Li Shimin also kept it in mind, and he was not going to kill the prisoners in the future, so he was sent to the north to plant trees! Otherwise, this desert will grow bigger and bigger, threatening the survival of mankind.
It only took two days for the team to cross more than 200 miles of desert land, and then, after walking for dozens of miles, they came across a team that came back a few days in advance and brought all the tribesmen to meet Li Shimin.
Nomads are good, where they go, where is home, Mobei is much poorer than Monan, but after Yi Nan sent two or three hundred thousand people to the family to learn farming, the per capita distribution of animal husbandry resources here is a bit scary, a family, often have to raise hundreds of cattle and sheep, so here, beef and mutton can be eaten hard by the soldiers of the whole army.
Yi Nan sent people to roast 1,000 yaks and 3,000 fat sheep to entertain Li Shimin, the scene was very grand, Li Shimin was before the banquet, let people open the clothes, tea, spices, salted fish and bean paste that were carried by tens of thousands of horses, and led the ministers to personally distribute them to the people of Xue Yantuo.
This move made the herdsmen of Yinan's descendant tribe cheer for a while, and the image of Li Shimin, the amiable Han emperor, became more three-dimensional and full of favorability.
Then, the bonfire feast began, and after everyone had eaten and drunk for a while, it was time to sing and dance.
Dongzhu has been popular in Datang in the past six months, but there are not many Xue Yantuo people who have really heard her songs and watched her dances, only those Xue Yantuo generals who have been to Datang, this time, she is going to show the people of Xue Yantuo the songs and dances she learned in Datang.
The number of musicians brought by the prince Liu, as well as Sun Xiangfu, added up to more than 1,000 people, and when they took out their own musical instruments, they lined up one after another, ready to start playing, a tall cowhide drum that was framed, became the stage of Dongzhu, the drum surface on the side is three or four square meters as large, and the Dongzhu dressed up on the stage is beautiful like an elf for these Xue Yantuo people, as long as she beats on the drum surface, there will be a drum sound, this is the ability she recently learned from those turtle dancers in Shanyang.
After dancing for a while, the instruments began to play melodies, and it was impossible for her voice alone to suppress the sound of thousands of instruments, so after the prelude, when Dongzhu was about to open her voice, one or two professional musicians would play solo to help her score the music.
"I always want to see your smiling face.
I always want to hear your voice.
Always want to live in your yurt.
I always want to lift your wine bottle.
I have a pact with the grassland.
Meet to find common roots.
Now I am on this way home.
Walked into the sunshine and ushered in spring.
Seeing your smiling face so innocent.
It's so touching to hear your voice.
It's so warm to live in your yurt.
Taste your milk wine so sweet.
······”
The singing voice is as beautiful as ever, but what makes the people of Xue Yantuo a little confused is that they are singing in Chinese.
"Good ······"
"It's so beautiful."
After the first paragraph was sung, the nobles and generals who could understand Chinese that Xue Yantuo could understand couldn't help but cheer, and Sun Xiangfu squeezed Li Shimin's eyes.
Song and dance to promote Han culture has initially had an effect, with the popularity of these songs and dances in the Mobei grassland, I don't believe that I can't wash the brains of these herdsmen, Chinese, will be implanted in their minds unconsciously, accelerating the speed of their sinicization, just like many people in later generations like to listen to Cantonese songs, listen to more, learn to sing more, say a few words is no problem, a little practice, for daily communication, basically can do.
After the song was sung, Li Shimin and other people who were accustomed to drinking the high wine of the Tang Dynasty relied on their own mass, and constantly asked the nobles of Xue Yantuo to drink, and even Qin Qiong drank it, and the more wine they drank, the more open-minded everyone became, Li Shimin took advantage of the situation and agreed with them to go to their tribe to have a look, and provide some help for their prosperity and development.
When these Xue Yantuo nobles and tribal leaders encounter such a good thing, where will they refuse, and they can't wait to treat him as their own family after a meal, but I am afraid that the name of Li Shimin's Heavenly Khan in history is also obtained in this way!
Tonight is destined to be Dongzhu's concert, and the cheerful drums can stimulate everyone's drinking strength even more, and the brainwashing songs of later generations are here again.
"Give me a blue sky, a rising sun,
Give me a piece of green grass that stretches into the distance,
Give me an eagle, a mighty man,
Give me a leash and hold it in his hand.
······”
There is no need for Sun Xiangfu to operate, Xue Yantuo's nobles danced to Dongzhu's song, and then, the herdsmen and people of Xue Yantuo's department danced out of control, the musicians only need to give them a drum rhythm, they can shrug their shoulders and twist their waists and kick their legs with the drum beat, although they have been repeating those simple movements, but they are happy, Sun Xiangfu is difficult to explain why, maybe the more people who are not too open to wisdom, the easier it is to be happy!
At this moment, some serious things to promote ethnic integration will also be done, and Yu Chi Baolin, who was dressed as a herdsman, was greeted to the stage by Sun Xiangfu, and a big red flower was put on his chest that would only be used when Han people got married.
This guy was originally of half-Hu blood, and when he put on a herdsman's costume, he looked more like a Hu man, and after he also ran to the drum, the people of Xue Yantuo knew that today was the day when Dongzhu and Yu Chi Baolin got married.
Then, the accompaniment of a cheerful version of "In That Distant Place" was played by the musician, Yu Chi Baolin stared at Dongzhu with a pair of big eyes and sang it out with a voice, but it was very much the taste of the original version of later generations, the two of them sang and danced between the three or four square meters, and the eyebrows were staggered from time to time, conveying affection, and the picture was too harmonious.
Even Xue Yantuo, a general like Sanjie who treats Dongzhu as a goddess, did not come out to oppose their family affairs, because they couldn't bear to destroy this kind of picture, and the people of Xue Yantuo, who were brought into the ditch by the emotions shown in this picture, would not object.
Of course, it is useless for them to object, because Yi Nan wants a city like Shanyang too much, and the dowry given to him by the Wei Chi family is 30,000 pieces of iron, although all of them are civilian ironware, but this thing can greatly improve the production and life of his descendants of the tribe, and he has made friends with such a family who is in the iron business, and in the future, he wants these things, it will be cheaper, of course, what he doesn't know is that Li Shimin and Sun Xiangfu dare to give him iron tools, It was because they had enough confidence to face the people of Xue Yantuo who held iron tools.
