Chapter 240: Mountain Rain is coming
Ayinon didn't want to speak, or he didn't want to speak. At least at this time, he was reluctant to speak when facing Su Ren. The kid in front of him doesn't know how to treat it as a relative? Friend? Or the enemy.
said that it was a relative, because Su Ren was the father of his grandson. said friends, because it was Su Ren who brought their servants from the bitter cold land to the paradise of Dujiangyan. Speaking of enemies, they are real enemies, Su Ren is a Han Chinese, they are servants, and these two races are fundamentally enemies. And most importantly, this guy has scourged his own daughter. At this time, Ayinong didn't care, whether it was his daughter who took the initiative or Su Ren who took the initiative.
"Patriarch, how sure do you think this matter is?" After Su Ren finished talking about his plan, Sima Xiangru asked Ayinong.
"Ahh Ayinong was obviously absent-minded, and took a deep breath: "What Captain Su said is also a way, but I can't guarantee how many servants can be convinced, since we left, I heard that you Han people have even more oppression of the servants, and many of them have moved back to the depths of the mountains, planning to never come out." ”
"Isn't it possible that you are living well here now, and you can't impress the servants who are still in the mountains?"
Ayinong shook his head: "We servants have lived in the mountains for generations, and we are not familiar with farming, just take the servants here, sir, didn't you find that our fields do not produce as much grain and rice as your Han people's fields?" Since coming to this Han land, our lives have changed a lot, many things that used to be ordinary have been banned, the custom of hanging coffins is being replaced by burials, and the appearance of wearing animal skins has also been replaced with linen. ”
"Isn't that bad?" Su Ren asked.
Ayinon smiled slightly: "It's not bad, it's just not that I'm not used to it!" ”
Hawking stood up: "You just say if you want to go, why do you say so much?" If you don't want to go, we won't care about the servants in the mines, and we will burn them all down, and don't even think about coming back!" ”
Ayinon sighed: "Hey! Anyway, I'll definitely go, even if I try it! It's just that Captain Su doesn't have too much hope. ”
"That's good! When to go, how long to give you, this matter cannot be delayed! Su Ren nodded: "The sooner the better, Zhuo Wangsun's people have already gone to the mine, and at this time they should be handing over, as long as they are handed over, we will do it, this is not negotiable, to tell you these is to give your servants a chance, for the sake of Lu Yi's face, I did this." ”
Ayinon doesn't have a good impression of Su Ren, and Su He has a good impression of Ayinong. Emotionally speaking, the servants were not Han Chinese, and even after thousands of years, they still did not integrate with the Han people. As a branch of the Servants, the ethnic minorities who have been handed down to this day still live in their own cottages, live their own unique lives, have their own writing, and have their own language.
The servants are a special being, and these people live differently from the ethnic minorities in the bitter cold lands of the north. Those people lived in hardship, and they enlightened earlier, yearning for the beauty of the Central Plains and learning the culture and ideas of the Han people. Therefore, the barbarians in the north continued to invade the territory of the Han people, hoping to control the Huahua world in the Central Plains. There are also successful ones, the Mongols a few hundred years later and the Manchus more than a thousand years later, both entered the hinterland of the Central Plains. But their fate was the most tragic, either being driven out or assimilated.
These barbarians in the south are different, they live in relatively warm places and have more abundant food. Although there is also a yearning for the Central Plains flower world, more people are hiding to live their own lives, and few people will get involved in the struggle between the Han people.
Ayinon left, and Su Ren, Sima Xiangru and the others all sighed and shook their heads. Ayinon's reaction was completely different from what they expected, there was no jubilant excitement, but more helplessness and indifference.
Sima Xiangru sighed: "This matter is not easy to do, first of all, regardless of whether Ayinong will contribute, if those servants don't believe us, this matter still can't be done, the servants are not chaotic, we can't approach the mine, on the way here, Liu Gao has already sent news that people from Huainan are rushing to the mine, these people will strictly seal the entire mine when they arrive, and it will be difficult for us to send people in at that time." ”
"I'm not worried about that, I'm just sorry for that copper mine!" Su Ren smiled bitterly: "According to what Tang Meng said, the annual output of the copper mine can produce hundreds of millions of dollars, if so much money is in our hands, how much can we do?" ”
"Are you really going to take that copper mine and make money?" Sima Xiangru looked at Su Ren: "There is already news from the imperial court, and many people are in favor of His Majesty's move to collect coinage as the imperial court, if this matter is successful, it is useless to ask for copper mines!" ”
"Don't worry, it won't be so simple, there are so many vassal states in the world, who is not minting coins privately, it is not so easy for the imperial court to take it back, unless the imperial court is determined, otherwise it is impossible!"
"In case ......"
"There is no case, as long as the Empress Dowager is still in control of the imperial court, many things of His Majesty are not something he can do if he wants to!"
"Alright! You have a point! So what do we do now? ”
Su Ren thought for a while: "No way, wait for Ayinong's news first!" ”
In the past few days in Dujiangyan, Su Ren has lived in Ayi Nong's house, Lu Yi and the children are there, and Su Ren has also lived the life of a wife and children. The confinement in the winter was very good, and the brazier in the room was very warm. In order to avoid poisoning his own children, Su Ren specially found a blacksmith and asked him to build a strange thing, an iron stove in Yuangu Dundun, with a long cigarette pipe, which became the symbol of Ayi's farmer's family. From morning till night, no matter where you are in the village, you can see the smoking chimney on the roof of Ayi's farmhouse.
Huang Shisan struggled to split a log in half, put down the axe in his hand, and put the half-split log back in place, dividing it into two halves again. The neatly stacked firewood pile behind him is the result of Huang Shisan's past few days.
Hawking carried a bowl of goat's milk and cautiously entered the courtyard: "Lao Huang, put on your clothes, what's the matter with you being shirtless in winter?" Didn't you see those big girls and little daughters-in-law outside the door constantly looking in, you are so willing to let them look at you? ”
Huang Shisanyi exerted his strength, picked up the big axe and separated a log again: "What are you afraid of!" And nothing less? You're jealous! ”
"Come on! Jealous of you? Hawking sneered: "I'll tell my sister-in-law what happened to you last night when I go back, and see how my sister-in-law cleans you up!" ”
"Hey, hey, hey......" Huang Shisan smiled and threw down the axe to get dressed: "Don't, this thing must not be said!" ”
Hawking smiled and opened the curtain and entered the house. It was very warm in the room, and a cold wind blew in, and Su Ren hurriedly turned around to protect the child in his arms. The child has grown up a lot, because of goat's milk, the child grows up very quickly. The original wrinkled skin has been stretched, and a small face is extremely shiny. Su Ren glared at Hawking, who hurriedly stuck out his tongue and lowered the curtain again.
The child slept soundly, with his eyes closed and his small mouth constantly squirming. As if smelling the smell of goat's milk, his black eyes slowly opened and kept searching.
Midori smiled: "I'm hungry!" Give it to me! ”
Su Ren reluctantly handed the child to Lu Yi and sighed: "It's really a mother with milk!" ”
The baby bottle invented by Su Ren was too coarse. A jar, covered with sheep intestines, pierces this end in, leaving a small gap. Filling goat's milk into it and stuffing sheep's intestines into the child's mouth is a simple bottle. Hawking has been in charge of this work for the past few days and is quite skilled. I got the "baby bottle" in three or two clicks and tried it first. Hand it to the green lean.
While breastfeeding the child, Lu Yi said, "Father has been gone for so many days, there is no news, and I don't know what to do?" ”
"No news is the best news, it means that he is talking, everything is negotiated, and things will go well!" Su Ren stretched his neck and looked at the child: "It's not normal if it's crisp." ”
"What if I can't convince anyone else?"
"What else can I do? Everyone has their own choice, and since they have chosen to continue living a hard life, they are already prepared. Su Yiyi turned over and lay on the bed at the feet of Lu Yi: "Actually, I prefer that they choose to stay, so that I won't have any scruples when I start!" ”
"Hey!" Midori sighed, looked down at the child, and stopped talking.
After another five days, Ayinon finally got the news. This time, Ayinong worked very hard, and he also saw Su Ren's determination, if the servants were unwilling to enter the Han land, they would only be waiting for them to travel far away in the mountains and forests, and there would be no chance to come back. Ayinong persuaded three cottages, and more than 1,000 people were willing to follow Ayinong to Dujiangyan. One thing that these cottages have in common is that their people are most taken to the mines.
Ah Bang reported the situation to Su Ren while eating heavily. The whole person lost weight, his round face became pointed, and his eye sockets were sunken: "During this time, the patriarch and I have almost walked through all the cottages, and our mouths are worn out, so this person is willing to follow, I don't know what these people think?" If you don't want to live a good life, you are willing to stay in the mountains, what's good in the mountains? ”
"Sir, don't worry, the things you explained have been negotiated, as long as the county soldiers leave, everything will come according to plan! The leaders and patriarchs of those cottages have promised that as long as they can rescue their people, let them do anything, the date is also agreed, and they will act in ten days, and when the time comes, Mr. only needs to send someone over to help, this time the guards of those mines have changed, and there must be no problem with Mr. helping. ”
Su Ren let out a sigh: "Okay! Prepare for the team! ”
Gou Tianming smiled: "Understood!" Just take a look! ”
Su Ren walked out of the courtyard and looked up at the sky. Since a few days ago, the dark clouds have been slowly gathering, and now they are very heavy, and the wind blowing down from the plateau, mixed with the cold air, blows into the neck and hurts a little.
"The sky is about to change, it looks like it's going to snow heavily!" Sima Xiangru shrunk his hands in his sleeves and spoke to himself.
