The thirteenth three barbarians
The closer to Qianzhou Road, the more difficult it is to walk, the difficulty of Shu Road is difficult to go to the blue sky, the mountainous and watery environment, so that Di Feng and the three of them have made a lot of detours, along the way Di Feng is both a nanny and a cook, and he tries his best to serve the old and the young, just this, the old man Long is not satisfied, and he shouted vigorously, "Although the game cooked by the kid is good, but there is a bit of food accumulation after eating too much, let's change the taste, how about changing individual tricks?" The ugly man who has no conscience actually followed suit.
Di Feng was tossed and wanted to cry without tears, "It's already good to have game to eat, and when you enter Xinning, you will go to the old man's business to "beg for food" These two foodies have already eaten up the silver on his body, and he can also hunt some birds and beasts in the wild, and when he arrives in Xinning City, he can only beg.
……………………………………
Pengshui in Qianzhou has been an important town since Qin because of salt production, and it was only in Taizong that Qian'an was changed to Qianzhou, and the Qianzhou Governor's Mansion was located in Pengshui. Although Gaozong remembered the old feelings, although he issued an edict to cut off the official position and fiefdom of the eldest grandson Wuji, and exiled to Qianzhou, he also let the state government send troops to escort him along the way, and the diet and living were no different from a product, but the waterway from Fuzhou to Qianzhou was too dangerous, and the brigade had to bypass Wulong and Xinning, and when they arrived in Xinning County, they were seriously hindered by the mountains and dangerous beaches and were forced to stop.
Xinning is still hundreds of miles away from Qianzhou, at least more than ten days away from the post road, Xinning County is a new small county, lack of money and food, population regulation is far inferior to other counties, the county order Xue Yi is also the ancestor of Yin Hui to mix here from the seventh grade of the petty official, but this county order is a bit of a nest, Qianzhou is a lot of barbarians and the people are fierce and do not obey the etiquette law, the head of the fetters around the place is the real power of the place, the county order Xue Yi is an "outsider" His decree is issued, can it be implemented. You have to look at the faces of these fetters leaders.
A few days later, the Tian, Xie, and Zhao three clansmen had another dispute, Tian, Xie, and Zhao San clans were all barbarian kings, and his official position was not comparable to his from the Qipin county order, and if he didn't handle it well, it would cause a big disaster, which made the county order Xue Yi already busy; The arrival of the eldest grandson Wuji and his entourage is undoubtedly worse, although the eldest grandson Wuji was exiled to Qianzhou, he still enjoys the supply of quasi-first-class products, with Xinning's financial resources there is no extra money to settle the eldest grandson, plus the eldest grandson Wuji was exiled, the driving force behind it is intricate, and now it is like a thunderbolt hanging above Xue Yi's head, and the slightest mistake will be split on the outside and tender on the inside.
The lawsuit full of heads made Xue Yi pacing back and forth in the inner house with a bitter face, and Xue Yi's wife Ning who was sitting in front of the window was also from a big family, and she knew more or less about the things in the officialdom, and she also heard about the difficulties her husband had encountered recently, looking at Xue Yi's loss of weight in the past few days, she couldn't bear to persuade: "Xianggong, this Xinning San is very powerful, and it is reasonable that you can't show it as an outsider, if this county order is not satisfactory, just go and ask San Lang, isn't it good for us to change places?" You have been friends with him since childhood, and you are sure that he will not ignore you."
"What do you know in the woman's opinion?" Xue Yi scolded his wife, but he felt in his heart that what Ning said was not unreasonable, "Tell my cousin clearly first, think about the way out, my cousin is well-informed in Chang'an, if there is any trouble, you can immediately pat your ass and leave" Thinking of this, Xue Yi's spirit was much better, and he said softly: "Ah Ning, my husband has been irritable recently, and he is a little angry, don't go to your heart, there are some things that I don't want you to participate in, and I don't want you to worry about it, you can rest assured, I already have an idea" said and stepped forward and hugged Ning's plump body.
Since Xue Yi became the commander of Xinning County, there have been lawsuits every day, and the joy of the boudoir has long been forgotten, Ning's thirties are the age of wolves and tigers, and it is inevitable that he will be moved by Xue Yi's soft words, and he is about to make a move, but he heard the little guy outside the door shouting: "Master, Mr. Xie asks to see you in the front hall"
"Mr. Xie is back! I'll just go over."
As soon as Xue Yi heard that Mr. Xie was back, he hurriedly responded, let go of Ning's family and rushed to the front hall.
Ning looked at her husband's back with resentment, and was secretly annoyed in her heart, "Bad luck, this Xie Wuling will be fine as long as he arrives, but he hasn't been here for some days, so I don't know what he's busy with?"
When Xue Yi arrived in the front hall, he saw Xie Wuling drinking tea; This Xie Wuling was only met by Xue Yi when he arrived at Ren Xinning, and when he first saw this person, he was good-looking, elegant, and quite extraordinary, the key was that this person was very familiar with the surrounding barbarians, Xue Yi was moved to make friends at that time, and the two of them soon became friends of Mo Yi, so the communication with various ethnic groups naturally relied on this person.
When he arrived at the front hall, Xue Yi took two steps forward and asked, "Brother Wuling, how is that done?"
"Don't worry, the Tian family has agreed to accept mediation, but the Xie and Zhao families still have some complaints, but don't worry, they are just asking for some property, and they don't dare to really disobey the court, although these barbarians are powerful, they also understand where the bottom line of the court is, and now they are still insisting on it just to fight for the greatest interests for themselves, Brother Xue might as well give them some benefits, and resolve the dispute between the three clans as soon as possible."
"But how can this Xinning still have money to use?" At the mention of Qian, Xue Yi was immediately deflated.
"Brother Xue is in a hurry, I also know that our Xinning finances are empty, so this time we are not talking about money but business power with the three clans," Xie Wuling said, picking up the lid of the cup and motioning for the little servant to add water.
Xue Yi personally added tea to Xie Wuling, and hurriedly asked, "How do you say this?"
"Promise them to smelt iron and sell salt!" Xie Wuling took a sip of tea and replied slowly.
"This is absolutely not good, who would dare to agree to the iron and salt without a special decree from the imperial court, even the governor of Qianzhou would not dare to be arbitrary."
Seeing that Xue Yi didn't agree, Xie Wuling said lightly: "I also know that iron and salt are a big matter, so I came back to discuss with Brother Xue, if it doesn't work, I will return to them." But......" Xie Wuling said and stopped.
"But what?" Xue Yi asked anxiously.
Seeing that Xue Yi was in a hurry, knowing that he was still somewhat moved by the release of salt and iron, Xie Wuling smiled and said: "However, this salt and iron are bought and sold privately, and there are precedents for Gaozu and Taizong; Moreover, they trade privately, you and I don't say, who can know, after a big transaction of salt and iron, Xinning and Sanman have profits, since they benefit together, who will jump out to make trouble and block, Xinning's treasury is full, and the three barbarians are harmonious, which is a good thing for political communication and people; As for whether it is feasible or not, I am just making a proposal, and whether it can be implemented depends on Brother Xue's final decision."
Xue Yi pondered for a long time and still asked uneasily, "What if you ask from above?"
"Eh~~ Asked above, you just said that you don't know, let the ban be forbidden, let the check be checked, but what can be banned? What to find out? It's not that you, Brother Xue, have the final say, and besides, if you are the yamen of the governor's mansion, you dare to really offend these hereditary barbarian kings? Don't forget, Brother Xue, what is your official exam?"
"Official exams? The criteria for the performance of state and county officials are: special merits and auspicious plagues, increases and decreases in household registration, abundance and thrift in the realm, and the number of thieves. Yes! If the three clans are promised to sell salt and iron privately, the treasury is full, and the three barbarians are harmonious, these assessments will no longer be a problem", starving to death the timid to death the bold, Xue Yi decided to give it a go. "Okay, that's it, Brother Lao Wuling will run again" Xie Wuling's words moved Xue Yi.

Besides, Di Feng and the three of them were stopped by two groups of people when they walked to Baima Mountain, which was still five miles away from Xinning, and the two groups of people were about 100 people, wearing black and blue colorful Tujia costumes, some holding a one-foot-long hook knife, some holding bamboo guns, and some holding hunting crossbows, and the two groups of people were in a tense confrontation.
The sudden appearance of these three people made the originally tense atmosphere weird, and the barbarians who were facing each other on both sides turned their heads to look at Di Feng and the three of them.
Being stared at by so many people together, Di Fengjue was embarrassed, he straightened his robe, touched his nose and said, "That...... You're all busy!"
The ugly child next to her felt that Di Feng's appearance was very embarrassing, she glanced at Di Feng, "Can you speak, look at me" After speaking, she stepped forward and said loudly to everyone: "What are you doing?" Get out of the way, let's get over, we're all starving, I'm going to eat in the city."
"You two dolls, you have to understand the rules when you walk the rivers and lakes, look at it, you should ask ...... like this"
Old Man Long said, dissatisfiedly pushing aside Di Feng and Chou'er who were blocking in front, but halfway through the conversation, he saw the two groups of barbarians on the opposite side merge together, and with a hula, they surrounded Di Feng and the three of them.
Seeing that the momentum was not right, the old man Long, who originally wanted to hide behind Di Feng, looked left and right, and there were barbarians in front of and behind him, so he had to stand still and not move, but muttered in his mouth, "You see this is the consequence of not understanding the rules of the rivers and lakes."
Looking at Di Feng and the others, a tall barbarian who seemed to be the leader walked out of the human wall and asked in stiff Chinese, "Who are you?"
Di Feng pulled the ugly man down and replied between himself and the old man Long: "I want to go to Xinning, a foreigner passing by here" After speaking, he asked the old man Long in a low voice, "Old man, aren't you an old Jianghu?" What's going on?"
Old Man Long shook his head helplessly, it seemed that he didn't know what was going on.
The barbarian, who seemed to be the leader, glanced at the other side, and said back, "Tie them up and take them back to the stockade."
Before the words fell, an old barbarian man on the opposite side also shouted, "A few of you go and tie them up and bring them back to our White Horse Village."
"Damn, it's still fragrant, why are you rushing to tie us up" Di Feng hurriedly said: "Wait a minute, why are we just passing by to tie us up?"
"These barbarians in the Bondage Prefecture are used to being arrogant, and they don't need a reason to tie us up," Old Man Long explained beside him.
Di Feng didn't know but the old man Long knew that the Tang Dynasty set up the Detention Prefecture from Gaozu, and generally used the leader of the tribe as the governor, the assassin history, and the county order, which was hereditary, which was different from the states and counties in the interior, in order to distinguish from each other, such a setting was generally called the Detention Prefecture, and there were more than 800 in the Gaozong Detention Prefecture, and the Jiangnan Prefecture was established by the barbarians, all of which were subordinate to the Qianzhou Governor's Mansion, and these barbarians were the soil emperors of this place.
Except for the leader's orders, how could these barbarians listen to Di Feng, they didn't pay attention to what Di Feng said, and rushed over together, about to kidnap people.
"Stop!" Di Feng saw that it was not good, and suddenly mentioned his dantian qi and roared; The sound of "stop" was like a thunderbolt that echoed over the valley; Since practicing the old man's breathing technique, Xiao Zhou Tian has become a good worker, and it is unknown how hard he is doing, but this voice is surprisingly big, and it should be no problem for thousands of people to speak in the playground without a loudspeaker, is this the legendary "Buddha Lion Roar"?
Di Feng's "lion roar" was extraordinary, and it frightened the barbarians who pounced on him and involuntarily took a few steps back, "Is this white-faced Han man a barbarian god descending into the world?" Why is the shouting like thunder" Everyone looked at it with a blank look and didn't dare to step forward.
Di Feng looked at the quiet people around him and felt satisfied, but before he could speak, he heard a voice sound outside the human wall.
"Spread out! I will take these three men to your great chiefs............
