Outside the camp gate, the two sides were able to meet here.

Lu Huiqing introduced the two sides with a spring breeze on his face: "Delun Patriarch, this one is the Tongzhou Xianggong of Hedong Road, this one is Cui Wenqing, the pacification envoy of the inspection school, and the two adults, this one is the Delun Patriarch." ”

Before Cui Wenqing and Tong Zhou could speak, Delun Balang was already excitedly clenching his fists, doing a Han etiquette, and said loudly: "Delun Balang, the third son of the patriarch of the Li tribe, has two adults who come in person, and they are really frightened. ”

Cui Wenqing smiled and helped each other with his hands, and said: "Patriarch Delun led 20,000 clansmen to come to the four states of the Northland this time, we are really grateful and grateful, and it is common sense to come to visit in person, so why panic." ”

Cui Wenqing's smile like a spring breeze and his approachable words suddenly made Delumbalang's heart warm, and also made him feel a little good.

In the past, almost all of the Han officials he saw were full of official accents and had a lot of shelves, how could they be as approachable as Cui Wenqing now.

Thinking of this, Delumbarang's frightened mood calmed down a little, and he bowed to each other and asked: "This place is very hot, not a place to talk, and please move the three adults to the camp, and we will talk in detail slowly." ”

Looking at the scorching sun overhead, Cui Wenqing nodded and followed Delumbarang into the camp together.

This camp was built temporarily today, and is inhabited by the 1,000 Li people who were the first to arrive.

When Cui Wenqing and his entourage walked into the camp, it could be seen that the men and women of the Li nationality in colorful clothes were looking at them curiously, and they were whispering to each other.

Cui Wenqing's eyes wandered around those men and women, and sure enough, he found that the clothes they wore taught the Han people differently.

It's not that they're more beautiful and gorgeous, but that the clothes worn by these aliens are very different in texture.

However, Cui Wenqing didn't know much about textile technology, so he could only suppress his curiosity and prepare to ask Delumbarang carefully later.

When he came to the main tent and sat down, Delum Barang instructed the people to bring the juice to cool off the heat, and said with a smile on his face: "A few adults may wish to taste the Yazhou specialty fruits." ”

When Cui Wenqing, Tong Zhou, and Lu Huiqing heard this, they hurriedly picked up the pottery bowl and tasted it carefully, only to feel that this juice tasted sweet and delicious, and it was really enjoyable to drink it.

After drinking, Tong Zhouda was surprised, and couldn't help but ask: "Patriarch Delun, I don't know what kind of fruit this is?" Why has this official never tasted it? ”

Before Delun Balang could speak, Cui Wenqing already explained with a smile: "Tong Xianggong, this thing is called coconut, it is a specialty of Yazhou, and it is not often found in the Central Plains. ”

Delun Balang didn't expect Cui Wenqing to recognize such fruits, so he couldn't help but be surprised, and said: "Master Cui is right, but the name of coconut is the usual name in Yazhou, in fact, almost all of you Han people call it the head of the king of Yue." ”

Lu Huiqing was puzzled and asked: "Good coconut, why do you call Chengyue Wangtou such an ugly name, how unlucky." ”

Cui Wenqing inherited the knowledge of the late Cui Xiucai, but also heard of the head of the king of Yue, and explained with a smile: "According to legend, the king of Linyi had a grudge against the king of Yue, so that the assassin took advantage of his drunkenness, took his head and hung it on the tree, turned into a coconut, and its core still had two eyes, so it is commonly known as the head of the king of Yue." However, these are the legends of the gods, so naturally they are not believable, and in the next view, it is better to hear the name of coconut or coconut fruit. ”

Tong Zhou said with a smile: "I see, Wen Qingxian's nephew's suggestion is good, then let's call it coconut fruit." ”

When the words fell, the four of them all burst into laughter, and the atmosphere was relaxed.

After a while, Cui Wenqing restrained his smile and asked: "Patriarch Delun, I won't say much gossip, in fact, this migration of the Li people to the four northern states is to promote cotton planting, so as to drive the cotton production of the four northern states, I don't know what Patriarch Delun thinks about this?" ”

Delum Barang sighed lightly, but did not answer Cui Wenqing's question, and asked rhetorically: "Master Cui, there is a word in your throat like a fish in your throat, and you really don't vomit or feel unhappy." ”

"Okay, what's the problem, but that's it." Cui Wenqing raised his hand to signal.

Delun Balang said solemnly: "That's the case, if Lord Cui, you have the heart to learn the cotton planting techniques of the Di people, and directly let a few farmers who are good at farming and women who are good at weaving come to Yazhou to study, why do you need to take such a great deal of trouble to migrate the people of the Li nationality to come to the four states of the Northland?" In the end, I really don't understand. ”

In the face of such a problem, Cui Wenqing smiled and said: "In fact, I have also considered this, indeed, the easiest way is to directly send people to the Li nationality to study, but unfortunately, the promotion of this method is too slow, it is difficult to form a scale of cotton planting in a very short time, and it is difficult to promote the use of new textile technology in a very short time, so I directly considered moving the people from the Li nationality, with ten, ten with hundreds, with 20,000 Li people, It is believed that cotton planting and control technology can be promoted soon. ”

Cui Wenqing's consideration is actually very reasonable.

In his previous life, the Song Dynasty, Huang Daopo went to the Li people to learn textile technology, and it took a hundred years for the new textile technology to be popularized in the south of the Yangtze River.

It can be said that it is not that the new textile technology is not good, but because the news is closed and the publicity is not effective, so the promotion will be slow.

At present, in order to avoid repeating the mistakes of his previous life, Cui Wenqing chose the method of directly relocating the Li people.

First, these Li people have very mature cotton planting experience, and secondly, because they have relatively perfect textile tools and mature textile technology, these experiences are impossible for anyone to learn in a short period of time, and must be summarized and refined for a long time before it can be obtained.

Therefore, Cui Wenqing made such a decision.

After hearing this answer, Delum Barang felt a little relieved in his heart, but a new question arose, and he said: "With the intention of Lord Cui, do you want our 20,000 Li people to disperse to various parts of the four states to plant cotton?" ”

Cui Wenqing said with a smile: "If the patriarch can agree, it will naturally be the best." ”

As soon as the words fell, Delumbarang's color changed, and what he feared most had happened.

Fortunately, Cui Wenqing continued: "However, it is not realistic to divide the 20,000 Li people into pieces and settle them in various parts of the four states, it is tantamount to depriving the patriarch of your power, and it also makes the Li people all tearfully separated, and I will naturally not do such a lack of morality." ”

"Oh? So what are you going to do, Lord Cui? Delumbarang's eyes lit up, and his expression was very excited.
