Chapter 275: Longevity and Friendly Diplomacy

King Wuqing is a middle-aged man with a strange fish tattooed on his back, he is also the person in charge of the mountains and forests around Xiangping City in this generation, when his grandfather helped Qin Kai expel Donghu, he obtained the right to trade with Xiangping City, and therefore their Wuqing Department is an important tribe in Buyeo, although the clan does not have more than 10,000 people, but because of the transaction with Xiangping City, they have mastered the most advanced weapons and equipment, and there are food channels, which are valued by the King of Buyeo.

I thought that I would spend this life in peace like my ancestors, in the attention of the Xiangping Yan people and the Buyeo tribes, but I didn't expect that day and night, this group of demon gods who didn't know where they came from would destroy the foundation of their ancestors for thousands of years, making him want to cry without tears.

Fortunately, he was not a brainless man, and after discovering that the demon gods did not capture them and cook them and eat them, as the shaman said, but gave them delicious food, he knew that these people did not seem to be ready to kill them, nor did they enslave them as they did when they caught the Wofu.

So King Wuqing felt that he should take the responsibility of the tribal leader and communicate with their leader.

"Is this black-skinned monkey instigating his companions to escape?" Ji Kang cut off a piece of barbecue meat with BS and stuffed it into his mouth, looking at the dancing king of Wuqing in the group of captives, frowned.

"He looks like a monkey, but he's not really a monkey." The Zhu family smiled, "And being able to live peacefully with the Yan people of Xiangping City for so many years is somewhat brainy, what signal should be conveyed." ”

"I think he should be able to speak Yanguo." Ji Kang frowned.

"Yes, but I didn't bother with him." The Zhu family chuckled.

"Why?" He was stunned for a moment, frowned, and said, "Isn't it the most convenient way to find out the surrounding situation from his mouth?" It's better than crossing the river by feeling the stones here. ”

"What's so bad about crossing the river by feeling the stones?" The Zhu family asked with a smile.

"It's dangerous." Ji Kang frowned.

"The main force of the Lone Bamboo Army is here, what danger is there in this world?" The Zhu family smiled, "And the most important thing is that the emperor is here." ”

Ji Kang blinked, "Mr. Zhu, it seems that he admires this emperor very much." ”

"You're half a lonely bamboo now, you have to learn to respect." The Zhu family earnestly advised: "I know that you are withdrawn by nature, talented, and have family feuds, and you don't have any good feelings for the kings of all countries, but you can't be disrespectful to the emperor." ”

"It's not a parent, it's not a reason, how can you respect it." Ji Kang snorted coldly.

"It's rude." The Zhu family chuckled and patted his head: "I saved the lives of your father and son, right?" ”

The drama looked terrified, and nodded solemnly, "Mr. Great Grace, the Emperor, the drama is unforgettable." ”

"My rotten life was saved by the emperor, do you say there is a reason?" The Zhu family said with a smile.

Ji Kang blinked and nodded, "Ji Kang knows." ”

"After Tu Tan left, the emperor lacked a clever guard by his side, do you have the confidence to do it?" The Zhu family asked with a smile.

"I don't serve anyone." He was stunned, "It's better for you to find a few clever ones among the other brothers." ”

"If there is a suitable person, do you think I will find you this stinky stone?" The Zhu family shook his head with a smile and handed over his wine jug, "Follow the emperor, at least there is no shortage of wine." ”

Ji Kang frowned slightly, and his expression was a little shaken.

The Zhu family patted him on the shoulder, "You have time to think about it all the way." ”

After speaking, he jumped off the branch and ran in the direction of Wang Xu's carriage.

"The scout has found a small river in front of you, you can take those Buyeo people to wash it later." When Wang Xu saw that the Zhu family was coming, he put down the shovel in his hand, poured aside the fried pine nuts in the pot, and grabbed a handful of the dried fried pine nuts and gave them to the Zhu family.

After the Zhu family took it, he put it in his waist pocket, peeled one off and put it in his mouth, and his eyes lit up.

"Delicious, right?" Wang Xu asked with a smile.

"Delicious food." The Zhu family swallowed their saliva and tightened the bag, seemingly ready to save some food.

"This is a pine nut." Wang Xu waved his hand and said with a smile: "There are mountains all over the field." ”

The Zhu family was stunned, and looked at the pine tower peeled behind Wang Xu and looked a little familiar.

"That's it, red pine." Wang Xu threw him a pine tower, "After peeling it off, it can be eaten when it is fried, and the nutritional value is very considerable." ”

The Zhu family's eyes widened, and he turned his head to look at the giant trees on both sides and said in a trembling voice, "This, it's all grain?" ”

"It can't be used as a substitute for grain, because of the yield problem, the fifty-year-old pine can bear fruit, and the yield on a tree is limited, the eagle pecks some of it, and the rest is not much, but it can be used as a snack." Wang Xu smiled, "But we don't eat food along the way, and it's enough to eat it." ”

"I'm going to have someone pick it." The Zhu family licked the corners of their mouths, and looked at the prisoner camp behind them, "Those Buyeo slaves just happen to be good at climbing. ”

"Take them to wash first, and then soothe and appease." Wang Xu smiled, "We are taking root in this land with a friendly attitude, and Zhai Qiu's method of holding a knife at every turn is not advisable." ”

"The emperor has been thinking too much, and letting these barbarians live is the greatest kindness." The Zhu family grinned.

"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you, we are all human beings, and we must learn to respect them." Wang Xu smiled and shook his head, "Go ahead, let them wash it first, and then call that Wuqing King." ”

The Zhu family nodded and went down to convey the order.

Wang Xu asked people to put away the wok, and returned to the carriage with a large bag of fried pine nuts.

Fried pine nuts were a very expensive nut in later generations, because later generations were too seriously deforested, and red pine can only bear fruit after more than 50 years of old pine.

In the future, the pine trees of the Northeast were cut down for firewood and various furniture and buildings for 2,000 years, so the pine nuts became expensive, and in the current Northeast China, the production of pine nuts may be more than the production of grain in the Northeast Province.

It's just that at this time, people have not yet discovered the edible value of pine nuts, and the practical value of pine nuts has not appeared until after the Han Dynasty, after the establishment of the Goguryeo Kingdom in the northeast and the Han Dynasty, but it is only regarded as a medicinal material, and the red pine in Liaodong is the smallest millennium-level, towering into the clouds to collect difficult, and it has not been taken seriously, and it is basically fed with pine trees and birds and insects.

So the sense of existence has always been low, Wang Xu didn't think that pine nuts could solve part of the food problem, if it weren't for the pine towers all over the ground after cutting down a large number of red pines yesterday, Wang Xu really couldn't remember.

Pine nuts are known as longevity fruits, and their nutritional value can be imagined, and now the longevity fruits everywhere make Wang Xu happier than picking up mines.

With pine nuts as supplementary food, the overall nutritional level of the lonely bamboo country will rise sharply, which is a great thing.

Nearly 10,000 people were killed and injured in this war, which made Wang Xu's heart ache, and he paid more and more attention to the issue of people's lives, and at the same time, he became more and more resistant to war.

Therefore, in dealing with the problem of Buyeo and other tribes, Wang Xu was ready to adopt a gentle strategy of both grace and power.

After the Zhu family washed King Wuqing several times from the inside out, he was carried to Wang Xu by the drama, his dark skin was red from hot water, and the strange tattoos on his body seemed to have faded a little, and he knelt on the ground with a frightened face and trembled.

"Can you speak Yan dialect?" Wang Xu looked at the stiffness with a stiff face with some reproach.

"Hui Yu Emperor, grew up in Yan Kingdom, Hui Yan dialect." Ji Kang bowed and nodded.

"Okay, then you can translate." Wang Xu nodded, "Ask him how many people there are in Fuyu, how many kings are there, who is the biggest king, and where is it." ”

Ji Kang nodded and kicked King Wuqing.

"I asked you to ask, but I didn't let you do it." Wang Xu frowned slightly, feeling that this kid was full of anger.

Ji Kang pursed his lips, squatted down and began to talk to King Wuqing.

Wang Xu peeled the pine nuts, and after the drama was finished, he asked him to hand it to the king of Wuqing.

Ji Kang glanced at Wang Xu with some puzzlement, and handed the plate to King Wuqing.

The Wuqing King kowtowed in panic.

"Tell him that this is a reward for eating." Wang Xu threw pine nuts into his mouth and smiled.

Ji Kang blinked, reached out and grabbed a handful from the plate, stuffed it into his mouth, and then his expression stiffened slightly, and after grabbing another handful, he said a bunch to King Wuqing.

When King Wuqing saw that Wang Xu had eaten it, he knew that it was not poison, and after tasting one, he instantly bowed to Wang Xu again, this time in gratitude.

"He said that there are many kings in Buyeo, big and small, and he doesn't know how many people there are, but he knows that there are tens of thousands of soldiers and tens of thousands of women in the Buyeo royal department, and there are four kings under the king of Buyeo, the king of Xuansu, the king of Juli, and the king of Hao, and they are also the majority of the people who have tens of thousands of people, and there are too many small kings, all of whom are the heirs of the kings of the past dynasties, and there are thousands of large ones, and hundreds of small ones, or even dozens of people." Ji Kang chewed pine nuts in his mouth, but his speech was not ambiguous at all.

Wang Xu touched his chin and estimated that the population of Buyeo in the Eastern Han Dynasty was recorded to be more than 200,000, and it also fed the small country of Goguryeo with more than 100,000 people, and these two nn should have diluted the remnants of Donghu in Jizi Korea and Yan State, plus some figures obtained by the local people, and they are not counting the slave population.

Although there are no accurate statistics of the indigenous people of the entire Northeast region, there should be a million people scattered around, after all, they are an original race that has lasted for at least 100,000 years, and there are many people who have migrated from overseas and Siberia.

It's just that after the intervention of the one million people in the northeast, the peace between various ethnic groups was broken, and the survival rate and reproduction rate were already low due to geographical reasons, and the death and injury rate can be imagined after decades of war.

However, even so, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were 200,000 people in Buyeo, hundreds of thousands in Goguryeo, and hundreds of thousands in Xianbei Wuhuan.

Then the current population of Buyeo is more than 100,000, which should be normal, after all, there is Wofu in the south, Su Shen in the north, and Hui in the east.

Although these Donghu ancient people are backward in terms of equipment IQ, but their physique is indeed different from ordinary people, probably due to the elimination of genes brought about by the cruel environment, so that the genes of these Northeast ancient tribes are very strong, although they are a little thin because of insufficient food, but they are generally large skeletons, and the average height is more than 1.75 meters.

This height can already be called tall at this time, although it is said that the average height of the old Qin and Qi people is one meter, but Wang Xu looked at it before, and most of the soldiers will be about one meter seven tall.

Moreover, Zhai Qiu said before that in the Wuqing Tribe, the main trading tribe, they all caused hundreds of minor injuries, and it is conceivable that other tribes should be stronger and occupy an absolute terrain advantage.

It further strengthened Wang Xu's strategy of friendly diplomacy.

Let's start with this Wuqing King first.
