Chapter 396: The Kangju Kingdom Kang Clan

Sun Sheng's words were like suddenly dropping a stone on the surface of a calm lake, which suddenly focused everyone's attention on him!

Ge Hong asked in surprise, "You know?" ”

Before Sun Sheng could answer, Xiaocao had already said excitedly: "Master Ge, Sun Sheng should know, Sun Sheng has been well-read since he was a child, and Yuan'er also told me that he is Sun Chu's grandson!" ”

"Mr. Sun's descendants? No wonder Xu Yan values you so much, so, you might as well tell me what you know about Kang's situation! ”

Sun Sheng nodded and said directly: "The Zhao family has always wanted to seek Feng Yi's position as the Taishou, and my grandfather Sun Chu used to shepherd Feng Yi, and Pusaka is not far from Feng Yi, so the situation of this generation, my grandfather has indeed recorded it, and I have the honor to read some of it!" ”

"Oh, that's the case, Sun Sheng, you might as well say it!"

"Yes, my lord, the Kang Bimaiduo in Zhao Ling's mouth should indeed not be like the name of the Central Plains, but if my expectations are correct, she should also be surnamed Kang!"

"Well, that's possible!?"

"Guanzhong, Hexi, Longyou, Wuxing (now Jiangsu and Zhejiang), Liangzhou, Yecheng, and even Jianye (many Kang surnames in Jiangdong are Kangju people living in India) and other places have Kang surnames distributed, but to say Feng Yi, the closest to Puban is the two Kang clans!"

"Which two?"

"Lantian Kang's and Pingyang Kang's! These two branches are from the Kang family, which migrated from the Kangju country! (The surname Kang has many origins, and today it is all Kang's family of Kang Juguo)

"Oh?!"

"The Lantian Kang clan migrated to the Lantian area of Guanhua Mountain after the Qi Wannian Rebellion, and the power is not large, and it is impossible for the Zhao clan to attach too much importance to this Kang clan!" (("Book of Liang" volume 18 "Kang Xuan Biography" records that this group settled in Lantian Kang clan, later Southern Song Dynasty, Yongchu years, that is, between 420 and 422 AD, Kang Mu led 3,000 clansmen into Xiangyang, Southern Song Dynasty for their tribe set up Qiao County near Xiangyang, named Lantian Township, Huashan County, to commemorate their submission, so far no longer called Lantian Kang, but Lantian Kang, but this is a later story.) )

"If it's not Lantian Kang's, it's Pingyang Kang's?" (Evidence about the general use of Lantian and Lantian: "Book of Jin" volume 118 "Yao Xing Ji Xia" cloud: "Yang Wu'an Township waited for Kang Eun, drove Bailu Yuan Hu hundreds of families" Kang Eun, "Book of Song" volume 47 "Fu Hongzhi Biography" cloud: "Liu Yu entered the Guanzhong, Hongzhi and others entered Lantian and recruited Huai Rong Jin. Jin people Pang Binzhi, Dai Yang, Hu people Kang Heng and other leading departments naturalized. Kang Heng, according to Mr. Tang Changru's research, these two are Lantian Zhukang, it can be seen that the Lantian in the Western Jin Dynasty is now Lantian in Guanzhong, and the Huashan Julantian County in the later Southern Song Dynasty is just the Qiao County of Xiangyang, and the local names in the Northern and Southern Dynasties are very chaotic and many repeated. )

"The kid also thinks it's a little more likely to be Pingyang Kang's!"

"Oh? Why are you so sure? ”

"Lord Ge doesn't know that the most powerful of the Kang clan in this Kangju is this Pingyang Kang clan! Most of them were Pingyang who moved into Pingyang with the Tu Ge Xiongnu, but they did not belong to the nineteen Hu people who entered the Xiongnu fortress! ”

"Why is that?!"

"The kid doesn't know, but this Pingyang Kang clan is different from the Lantian Kang clan, the Lantian Kang clan is brave, but the Pingyang Kang clan is a merchant heirloom, and the descendants continue to emerge, and the power is extremely huge, and according to the notes left by my grandfather, this Pingyang Kang clan is not only very noble in Pingyang, but also controls the entire business road in the Western Regions!"

"The trade routes of the entire Western Regions? It's so powerful?! ”

"Or not only the trade routes of the Western Regions, but even the farther places than the Western Regions have the frequent activities of the Kang clan, even if there are many traces of the Kang clan in my Central Plains and Jiangdong!"

"Is this also seen from your grandfather's notes?"

"That's right, my grandfather seems to be very concerned about this Kang clan, so even their habits and customs are recorded!"

"Oh? Tell me about it! ”

"It is said that when these children of the Kang clan who originated from Kangju are born, the elders will definitely give them some honey first, and they will also put glue into their hands, hoping that when they grow up, they can often say some beautiful and sweet words, and stick to their belongings like glue when holding money!" (Kangju Kang's clan in history, it is indeed as a merchant nation, known as the commercial nation of the East, similar to the Western Scarnikians and Jews, it is said that the protagonist of the Anshi Rebellion in the later generations An Lushan is also the son of Kangguo Hu Shang, originally with Kang as his surname)

"Sun Sheng, although you are young, but this ability to read and remember, I, Ge Hong, can be regarded as a leader today, but you haven't said yet, how powerful is this Kang clan?"

"Does Lord Ge still remember what Xie Ai said, this Zhao Ling's sister is a member of the Kang clan, and they have been separated since childhood, then according to my own speculation, it should be that they were separated by the Kang clan's clan when they were very young, and they sent Zhao Ling to the Zhao clan, and used Kang Bimaiduo, that is, Zhao Ling's own sister, as a hostage, so as to blackmail him to do things for the Kang clan!"

"What do you mean?!"

"My own clansmen have to use this method to make them unable to resist, obedient to the family's arrangement, it can be seen that this Pingyang Kang clan is strong and domineering, such a clan rule is by no means an ordinary small household or an ordinary big clan will have, and my grandfather also recorded in his notes that this Pingyang Kang clan not only has a big business, but its patriarch has also served as the high position of Tu Ge Xiongnu for a long time!"

"Ahh I think about it, it seems that the Taishi Ling of the Xiongnu Han Kingdom is now called Kang Xiang! (It is recorded in the "Book of Jin" volume 102 "Liu Cong's Chronicles" that there is Taishi Ling Kangxiang!) If you have read the Taishi Ling in my "The Battle of Jinyang in the Official History: A Song of Hu Ji to Save the Lonely City", you will know the lofty status of this Taishi Ling's official position in the Xiongnu Han Kingdom)

"Kang's not only have merchants but also a large number of Buddhists, since the Han Dynasty has been infiltrating all over the Central Plains, I remember that there was a man named Kang Ju during the period of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, who wrote a Buddhist classic "Ask Hell Affair Sutra", this scripture is straightforward and reasonable, without embellishment, it is indeed very interesting!"

Hearing this, Ge Hong, who was originally a little irritable and Sun Sheng didn't cut to the topic as soon as possible, also became interested, and immediately blurted out: "What is this hell?" (Recorded in "The Biography of the High Monks", Volume 1)

"I don't know, I didn't look carefully, it was just a simple glance and a note of all the contents, and if I think about it carefully, it should be said that it is where people go after they die!"

Sun Sheng's words were actually not very loud, but for Ge Hong, it was simply deafening!

Ge Hong felt that he was in a trance, the word "hell" was as shocking as thunder, has Buddhism already proposed this? How so......

Sun Sheng saw that Ge Hong was a little strange, but Ge Hong was also intimidated by his erudition, and he was even more elated for a while: "I remember that during the period of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, there was a Kangju monk named Kang Mengxiang who translated scriptures in Luoyang, and these two people are said to be not only monks but also businessmen!" (It is recorded in volume 15 of the "Exodus of the Three Tibetan Collections")

When Ge Hong heard the word "businessman", he came back to his senses and exclaimed, "These Buddhists are still businessmen?!" ”
