"No, no, that's the case!"

couldn't help but say, Pu Shougeng forcibly grabbed Zhang Yuankong, saying that it was now in the middle of the night, although the Pu family was a Yiren, but the rules of hospitality were still understood, and there was no reason for people to rush through the small half of Wurong at this time.

"Pu Gong is too polite, there are not a few steps."

"No, in short, it just doesn't work!"

In the end of the dispute, Zhang Yuankong was still no more than Pu Shougeng, and was forced to promise to stay overnight and leave tomorrow morning.

"It's rare for a distinguished guest to come to the door, tonight, I want to accompany the real person, and I will rest when I get drunk!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I have heard of Pugong's wealth for a long time, but until now, I can feel it personally."

The wine cup in the hand is cold to the touch, it is a whole piece of Po Li that is burned at one time, the color of the wine pulp in the cup is like cliff honey, the fragrance is mellow, it is obviously the best good wine, as far as the eye can see, the surroundings are full of carved wisps of gold, gorgeous and inexplicable...... These are also all, when looking into the distance again, the foot is surrounded by the flow, the boat is like a leaf, the horse is like a dog, the opposite pagoda stands, it is the famous landmark building "Kaiyuan Twin Towers" in Wurong City.

Here, is the "total exhibition building", originally built in the hands of the first generation of the Pu family ancestor Pu Shoucheng, take his poems in the "Buddha Ming Dynasty is, the fragrance of the eyebrows" of the artistic conception, at the beginning, here is just a very ordinary three-storey small building, but for hundreds of years, the successive generations of the Pu family owners continue to rebuild, add, now, here is to go to the ground more than 100 feet of Lingyun high-rise building, compared with the Kaiyuan twin towers, it is not inferior.

"Da Zhenren laughed, your daily cultivation is a fairy thing, and these people are rich in the world, but they are just passing by."

Laughing loudly, Pu Shougeng boasted that this building must not only be high, but also not just golden.

"There's a lot of Karakuri in between."

For example, when the two of them walked up to the ground just now, Zhang Yuankong only noticed that a lot of metal was used to decorate, but Pu Shougeng said that there was actually a windmill that used a windmill to store a large amount of water from the ground to a height of more than 100 feet, and as long as a switch was turned on to let the water flow back to the ground, the hydraulic power would activate the spring in the building and let some pre-set facilities start to operate.

"It's like this."

While speaking, Pu Shougeng pulled it somewhere beside him, and immediately heard the sound of rushing water, and then, he heard Xiao Guan playing, and the bell chime chime, it was actually a period of "He Taiping", although it was flat and rigid and unchanged, but it was really rare.

The music gradually sounded, and the smile on Zhang Yuankong's face gradually disappeared, and when the continuous blows continued to come from under his feet, he had already put the wine glass back on the table and stared at Pu Shougeng.

"Pu Gong, please elaborate."

There was also no longer that kind of special professional smile specially used for socializing, Pu Shougeng's face was heavy, and he said: "Just now, I have sent someone to summon Na Na Na, the reason is to discuss how to deal with Lin Zhenren's speech tonight...... After a while, I will ask the real person to take a hand. ”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tonight, Pu Shougeng suddenly got up, almost at the same time as he heard Lin Lingsu humiliate Aroben in public, he had already made up his mind to immediately give up the last bit of strength of Na Na and the Yi merchants.

"I wanted to kill him and help him become a rich man...... However, he and Aroben Suluchi were too close. ”

Resourceful, more decisive, and after making up his mind, Pu Shougeng took the opportunity of his resignation to relay his intentions to Han Sha, he believed that this old opponent who had been fighting with him for seven or eight years would definitely be able to understand his mind and be able to make an accurate response.

"My brother is a very useless man...... This kind of thing, relying on him to do the middle, there must be an accident. ”

“…… Lord Han may understand, but I haven't. ”

Asking frankly, Zhang Yuankong wanted to know why Lin Lingsu's words to Aroben would make Pu Shougeng determined to give up Na Wuna.

At the beginning, it was the three brothers who helped Na Urna to get on the line of "anyway", and among them, they also personally felt Pu Shou Geng's huge influence on Na Urna...... Or, to put it simply, "control", especially now, Safudin and Amiridin are dead, and the power that Pu Shougeng can control through Na Wu Na is now the only force in the Wurong region that can fight against Chen Anguo, even if it is out of the need for balance, Han Sha and even the imperial court will give them a certain, maybe even larger space than in the past, why, Pu Shou Geng has to take the initiative to give up Na Wu Na at this time?

In response to Zhang Yuankong's blunt question, Pu Shougeng was silent for a while, and then said that there were some overseas things, but I wanted to tell Zhang Yuankong to know.

Set sail out to sea, all the way to the west, after thousands of miles of whale waves, there is a vast area of land, where it is also the place where Pu Shougeng's ancestors set off.

"It's poor, it's poor."

Although the area is vast, more than two-thirds of it is covered by yellow sand, and the climate is hot and dry, making it difficult to survive, and only a few areas rely on water sources to build an oasis that can be built into a living oasis.

"But there is a fixed number of oases in size, and the things that can be produced, no matter how careful they are, that is, there are so many, as long as a few more babies are born for several years in a row, the food will not be enough for everyone to eat, either go out to rob, or move to a distant place."

Although he had never seen the land with his own eyes, he was obviously very familiar with the things related to it, and Pu Shougeng tapped the table and sang a local folk song for Zhang Yuankong in a subdued tone.

“…… We are robbers by nature, we rob merchants from afar, and if there is no one for us to rob, we rob our own brothers! ”

"This, this is really ......"

"It's all about survival."

With a faint expression, Pu Shougeng said that if enough crops can be grown in the field, no one wants to risk going out, but the situation is pressing, and there is no way.

In that great desert, almost all the legends are related to the "Promised Land of Distant Paradise", and various religions promise their followers that there is a place flowing with milk and honey in the distance, a land promised by God, and if you move to the past, you can live a happy life.

"Is there such a good thing?"

Zhang Yuankong disagreed, saying that this kind of propaganda is simply ridiculous, of course there are many fertile lands in this world, but ownerless fertile lands are very rare, the land of milk and honey? If there really is such a place, it should have been settled and built there by the people a long time ago.

"People are cheap when they leave their hometowns, there is such a good development there."

"yes."

Smiling, Pu Shougeng said that what Zhang Yuankong said was not wrong at all, but no matter how hard it was, it was better than staying in the desert and waiting to starve to death, wasn't it?

"From the Great Desert to the west, there is the sea again, and after thousands of miles, there is land, and the area is not inferior to the Great Xia."

Zhang Yuankong had some idea of the situation on that land: it was Carmen's hometown, which is said to be now divided into dozens of countries, fighting each other, and the national border changes every day, but there is no fatal change.

"yes."

In the hometown of the Pu family and Carmen, migration is a very common thing, some to find food and land for survival, and some to find a better environment for development.

“…… Similarly, it's similar to the 'Warring States' period of Bactria . ”

Pu Shougeng said that in his opinion, according to how to position himself after arriving in a new country, "immigrants" can be divided into two types.

"The former is to follow the customs of the locals, and when you get there, you will be a person there."

According to the introduction, similar to the elephant opera of Great Xia, it is also very popular in distant foreign countries, and there are also chariots and horses, but the details are different.

"I know that there is such a person, he was originally from the Rakshasa country, and he was the top elephant opera genius in the country at that time, and no one could beat him."

Later, the Rakshasa country changed, the man ran to the Buddha country, and easily beat all the Buddhist chess players to the top of the head, after that, he entered the Buddha country, every day is still just playing chess, in the middle of the Buddha country and the Rakshasa country once met each other, he didn't care, but also donated money to the court, to help the military.

"Later, the Buddha Kingdom fought with the Hessian Kingdom next to it, and was defeated and lost, and the national capital was also lost, and the king's ministers were exiled."

At that time, the man was already a celebrity gentry in the country of Buddhism, and at this time, he came out again, naturalized into the country of Hesse, and still played chess, and did something to help the country of Hessian to settle down. At that time, the Hessian country broke through the capital of the Buddha country, slaughtered the city for ten days, and the corpse was in a mess, and the man did not care, and he also went to the labor army with several chess players from the Hessian country.

"Later, the Buddhists counterattacked and returned to the country."

The man couldn't accommodate himself because of the labor army and the pacification, so he resigned from the country again, but because of the previous events in the Qin and Dusk Chu, he was evil to all the countries, and he was not allowed to participate in the rich reward chess battle, nor was he allowed to enter and leave the royal court as he had done in the past. After his death, he was buried in the Buddha country, and someone set up a card for him, praising his unparalleled chess skills, and other things were not mentioned.

"Into a side of the soil, for a party?"

In Zhang Yuankong's opinion, this person's character is indeed not flattering, but every time he joins a country, he immediately takes it as his home, and he doesn't care about his background, but he is also a character who can let go.

"yes."

He added that what is particularly rare about that person is that the state religions of the Rakshasas, the Buddha Kingdom, and the Hesse are different, and every time that person goes to a place, he will change his religion and change his god once, in short, it is a principle: follow the customs of the locals, and never go outside.

"As for the other type?"

Before going into details, Pu Shougeng introduced that he had just talked about the person's conversion to worship God, and Zhang Yuankong didn't seem to have figured out the importance of it.

"In those countries, where there is no Confucianism, the status of Confucianism is equivalent to Confucianism, or even higher, and the status of the Pope is above that of most kings."

In this case, it is even more striking that the player can change his or her court without hesitation, when in fact, most immigrants are sticking to their old beliefs and customs, refusing to be assimilated into the new environment.

"Is there a difference between 'following the local customs' and 'closing the door and locking the house'? So, Pu Gong thinks, these two types, which one is better? ”

"It's been five hundred years since our Pu family entered Great Xia."

In response to Zhang Yuankong's provocative question, Pu Shougeng was not angry, but said frankly that for five hundred years, the Pu family has actually been walking on two legs.

"Since the two ancestors of Shoucheng and Shou Geng, until now, it has been like this, each generation has a division of labor, some people have to read the Four Books and Five Classics, learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and some people have to abide by the rules of the ancestors and make a fan."

He laughed self-deprecatingly, saying that it was Pu Shoucheng who created the Pu family culture, and his poems and essays were recognized by the top scribes in the world at that time. At the same time, Pu Shou Geng, who served as the envoy of the city, until the time of his death, did not even speak Xia dialect well, and did not use chopsticks well.

"But if I say, the poems of Shou Geng's ancestors, although they are not as good as Shou Cheng's ancestors, are not much worse...... Can you believe it? ”

"Just like your brother Pu Gong did today."

Nodding slightly, Zhang Yuankong was not surprised, this kind of split-head betting method was not uncommon in the Great Xia family, and he had seen it not together.

"For hundreds of years, the Pu family has been doing this, trying to retain their unique influence among the Yi people and maritime merchants, and also trying to ensure that they have a place among the Bactrian people...... Among the two masters, they move left and right. ”

In the eyes of most people in the Pu family, this idea is very good, ensuring the wealth of the Pu family for hundreds of years, but in recent years, Pu Shougeng has been thinking about it.

“…… It's time for a decision. ”

Sooner or later, a person who steps on two boats will fall into the water, long before becoming the head of the family, Pu Shougeng has been thinking about whether to turn the family policy that has been swaying from side to side for hundreds of years into a one-sided, and what has happened in recent months, as well as Lin Lingsu's merciless suppression and humiliation of Aroben tonight, have helped him make up his mind.

"Pu family, it's time to 'follow the locals'."

Zhang Yuankong expressed his polite blessings to Pu Shougeng's decision, and then he continued to ask, what is the relationship between Pu Shougeng's determination and his decision to give up Na Wuna?

"It's a real person."

Pu Shougeng had already made up his mind, no matter who Han Sha sent over tonight, and if there were any things, he would explain them clearly and thoroughly.

"About the mutiny...... Where the hell is the source, do you know? ”
