Chapter 52 Pushing the Boat with the Current

Thinking that Lin Yi, as a native, may have a certain understanding of the White Barbarians, I might as well take this opportunity to ask him today, maybe he will find out the truth of some facts.

In order not to reveal my intentions, I deliberately pretended to be casual and asked Lin Yi: "Master Lin, I heard that in addition to our Han people, there are many barbarian tribes here, but I don't know what the barbarian tribes in our Yunnan are?" Where do they live in Yunnan? ”

Lin Yi nodded and said, "Although our Han people currently occupy the mainstream in Yunnan, the population far exceeds that of the barbarians. But this part of Yunnan has always been the world of their barbarians, and speaking of which, we are just slowly encroaching on their territory, just like outsiders borrowing to live here, so the barbarians are not so friendly to us. ”

"When it comes to the distribution of barbarians, the situation is much more complicated. For example, in the northwest area of Wumeng Mountain in northern Yunnan, there is the world of the black barbarians, and the Liuyi tribe has guarded there for hundreds of years, and even we Han people dare not step into it.

Most of the white barbarians live in the southwest of our Yunnan, especially the nearby tribes such as Zhaokua, Bangwa, Nixi, and Pulang, which are the most powerful white barbarian territories in this area. ”

"As for some people who classify Duan Siping from the sea as a white barbarian, I still have some doubts. It is said that the Duan family is a Han who migrated here from the Guanzhong area, but they have lived here for a long time, and they are probably no different from the white barbarians. ”

I smiled and said, "So there's such an allusion." When I was in the capital, I heard that some of the customs and habits of the white barbarians here are very strange, especially the white barbarian women, who are even more bold and spicy, and like to expose their bodies in front of men, is there really such a thing? "At this point, I raised my question at the right time.

When Lin Yi heard me ask like this, he looked at me suspiciously, nodded and said, "Yes!" The white barbarians are different from us Han Chinese, so what's so strange. Because we often deal with the white barbarians, we are still relatively clear about their customs and habits. ”

"The situation of the white barbarian women you are talking about is divided into different occasions, during the rituals and major festivals, their women will wear fancy costumes with bare chests and backs, and dance all kinds of strange and unbelievable dances to carry out some kind of mysterious celebrations, there are such cases."

"It's just that although they are spicy and bold, they will not expose their bodies in front of men casually, only in front of the men they love with their hearts, they will expose the most intimate parts of their bodies, which probably means that they have love for the man."

"Huh! It's hard to understand what they do, and their purpose is nothing more than a bold show of love. Perhaps this is actually a very common behavior among their people, but we Han people have misinterpreted their meaning, and accused and discriminated against white barbarian women as immoral and shameless women. Oh! Is Dashuai interested in this kind of thing? ”

My face flushed slightly, and I hurriedly covered it up and said, "Where do I have any ideas, but since I am a parent official here, there should be no problem in knowing some of the folk customs here!" ”

"I always feel that we Han people and barbarians don't get along well, learn more, if there is a national dispute or something, you can also have a bottom in your heart!"

"By the way, I was just about to ask you, how is the news about our construction of Pingyang Temple? Is there any reaction among the people? I quickly diverted the topic and said.

"Oh! I'm about to report this to you! The people I sent have already spread the news in a big way, and probably the people of Ningzhou know that you are going to build a temple. Hehe! The news spread quickly, and I believe that the Dayi Ning Kingdom will get the news soon. ”

"However, the lower officials are still a little worried, although we are doing this for the sake of the safety of Yunnan, but in this way, you secretly built the pass under the banner of building a temple, although it is a last resort to confuse the Great Righteous Ningguo, but the paper can't contain the fire, and after a long time, it will inevitably let the people know the truth, isn't it criticized by the people who are true and believe in the Buddha."

"Xia Guan thinks it's better than this, we will really build a temple there as a cover, and the people won't be able to say anything at that time, what do you think?"

I nodded approvingly, "Yes! Winning the trust of the people is the right way, you are very thoughtful, I think it is okay, we are not short of that money! ”

"Huh! That's it, I don't think it will cost much to build another temple, all of it will be paid from the stolen money of the Sun thief, so you should quickly find someone to survey the site and start construction as soon as possible. ”

After thinking about it, I said again: "This time I have another idea, I heard that the people here are quite sincere to the Buddha, and there are many people who believe in Buddhism, but there are not many influential temples in Ningzhou. Since we want to build a Buddhist temple, we must build it into the best in Yunnan, the scale must be grand enough, the influence must be deep and extensive, and we must not deal with things at will. ”

"After the temple is completed, we will also invite the most famous monks of our Han Dynasty to sit on the altar and preach here, so as to attract good men and women from Yunnan and other places to come here, so that people can know that our Yunnan is tranquil and peaceful, and there is nothing to think about."

"Therefore, we not only want to make this Buddhist temple a Buddhist center for the general public to pray for incense, but also to promote local economic development, so that the local people can benefit from it and obtain benefits."

"Another important advantage is that doing these things that the people support and approve of can most effectively unite people's hearts and stabilize the situation in Yunnan. Everyone has gone to Buddhism, but are there still people who do bad things? Even if someone does something bad, they won't get the support of the people! This should be easy to understand! ”

I talked step by step, and Lin Yi nodded happily as soon as he spoke, and hurriedly agreed.

When I returned to the inner house of the Xuanfu Embassy, I saw the three of them squatting in front of the main house with Caifeng and Caidie, curiously sorting out the miscellaneous items I brought back from Zhong Lingshan.

I couldn't help but smile slightly, each of these things that spanned thousands of years could make them want to break their heads and be puzzled.

Like that one-piece raincoat, that glittering glass travel drinking glass, and chain hoists, jacks, tripods, etc., these people are probably confused, and I will teach them a good lesson later.

When he saw me come in, he hurriedly smiled and stepped forward, and while carefully dusting the dust on his robe for me, he asked curiously: "Why are those things that the official brought back yesterday so strange, the three of us have been thinking about it for a long time and can't figure it out." ”

"Tell us, what is the use of these things?"

I pretended to smile mysteriously, and Shi Shiran walked over to the pile of things.

Squatted down, picked up a bottle of shampoo on the ground, and said to the person who bent down: "Lady, please see, this is a bottle of unparalleled shampoo, as the name suggests, it is used to wash hair, you will use it to shampoo in the future, not only will there be a rich and fragrant fragrance, but also the hair will become more and more soft and smooth, the effect is of course very wonderful." ”

"Well, this is a piece of soap that cleanses the skin, so I don't need to say more; This is a sunscreen that can be applied to the face and body to effectively prevent the sun from damaging the skin; It's ......, it's ......"

I told her all the effects and benefits of these things in one breath, and I heard them as if they were opening their mouths wide with Caifeng and Caidie, and they were amazed.

It seemed to take a while to come to his senses, and he asked thoughtfully: "Official, these things are so magical, where did you get them?" I haven't even heard of it. ”

"Oh! Since your adventure in Zhongling Mountain, the concubine body has always felt that the changes in the official body are too great, although I can't say what the specific concubine body is, but I suddenly came into contact with so many incredible changes and strange things, sometimes I doubt my eyes and ears, what is going on? ”
