Chapter 2 The more the mountain is not the more the mountain
Sometimes Li Yu really feels that all this is fake, it's all a dream!
Originally, it was mixed well in the system, and who knew that going to the toilet would be able to catch the train that crossed it. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info is not the last train he doesn't know, anyway he knows he wants a refund, but he doesn't know who to ask for a refund.
Not to mention after crossing, I came directly to a county town in the south of the Yangtze River, damn it, I was mistaken for Shanyue, and finally had to flee to the mountains with others, and after turning I don't know how many bends and avoiding how many snakes, I came to the tribe they hid in the mountains and forests.
That's it, the key is that his height of more than seven meters is actually so outstanding in the eyes of this group of Shanyue, who are only one meter five to one meter six, it is impossible not to be noticed, let alone the 'fancy dress' on his body.
"You don't seem to be one of our people, but you don't seem to be one of those ...... either" The leader of Shanyue carefully looked at Li Yu, who was being pointed at dozens of spears at the moment, and he couldn't move.
"Do you speak Chinese? Or do you only speak the local language? Don't be there! Answer! The leader of Shanyue continued to ask, and when he saw that Li Yu did not reply at all, he immediately shouted.
The surrounding Shanyue warriors brought their spears closer again, so frightened that Li Yu's back was soaked.
"I ...... I know Chinese! Li Yu barely managed to squeeze out a few words.
Those who incarnate as Long Aotian after crossing over, or scold each other in front of Shanyue, and then immediately gain appreciation, and even be cried out to take refuge in existence, in reality, it shouldn't exist, right? As a modern ordinary person, suddenly being pointed at dozens of spears......
"It's easy to communicate if you know Chinese! You all let it go, this kid is about to pee...... It seems that you shouldn't be those barbarians, but you don't look like Han people, right? The leader of Yamagoe motioned to the people around him to withdraw their weapons and continue to scrutinize.
"In order to avoid the pre-Qin riots, the ancestors fled south with their clansmen, and recently there was an accident in the clan, and only I survived. Thinking that he couldn't stay any longer, he came out for a walk...... "Fortunately, Li Yu was still in a hurry, and he thought of Tao Yuanming's "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring" in a short time, so he made up his life experience.
"Harsh government is fiercer than a tiger!" In the end, in order to pretend to be X, he even sighed with a bit of a literary atmosphere.
These words seemed to resonate with the surrounding Shanyue, and even the leader of the Shanyue couldn't help but be a little moved.
"I see, it's not easy for you, boy...... Don't be so afraid of us, we are all Han Chinese. Not only here in Lingyang County, but also most of the Shanyue in Yuzhang, Danyang, Wu County and Huiji County are actually Han Chinese.
It is not denied that there are also some remnants of the pre-Qin period, who have taken refuge in the south like you, or the original Yue people. There are even some uncivilized barbarians. However, if you want to say that we are against the Han people, it is mainly us who are the original Han people. The leader of Shanyue seemed to see Li Yu's mood at the moment, and couldn't help but comfort.
"Why do you, as Han Chinese, want to be anti-Han?" Li Yu was puzzled.
"It seems that you and your family have lived in seclusion for too long, and you still don't know the changes in this world...... Why else, I can't live. When the Han Dynasty, from the top royal family and nobles to the common people of Limin, do not treat you as a human being, you will either continue to live as a livestock, or you will take up arms and be a person, there is no other choice! The leader of Shanyue said with a smile, and it can be seen that he is also a man with a story.
"Boy, don't talk about anything else...... You don't seem to be saluting, and your body doesn't seem to have practiced martial arts, so what are you going to do next? Go down the mountain and go to the city, or stay? I can tell you in advance, with the way you are now, I'm afraid that if you're unlucky, you're likely to lose your head! The leader didn't seem to bother to continue, waved his hand, and asked Li Yu.
"Since the chief has already seen that the boy has no long body, why should he ask such a question?" Li Yu knew that the leader had something to say, and he deliberately sarcastically just wanted to enhance his initiative, and he still understood this point, so he pushed the question back.
"Sure enough, you kid is so capable...... Have you ever read a book? The leader smiled and asked solemnly.
"It's a bit too much to say that you're talented, but it's not a problem to learn to be rich!" Li Yu replied slowly, how many words are there in ancient bamboo slips, how many books can be loaded in one car, and I am afraid that five cars are not enough for an online article.
"Hahaha, boy, it's not good to deceive people!" The leader apparently didn't believe it.
"Believe it or not!" Li Yu shrugged his shoulders indifferently.
"Our village lacks a teacher, boy, are you willing to stay? Meals and accommodation can be taken care of! If you want to be paid, you are absolutely indispensable! Seeing this, the leader could only speak his own thoughts.
"It's obviously Shanyue, why do you need to teach Mr. Teacher? Aren't you afraid that I will teach them to be Han? Li Yu asked.
"Hahaha, don't try! The village chief said that we are also Han people, and the last thing we are afraid of is to become Han Chinese. On the contrary, I am used to those boys in the mountains and forests, and it would be bad if they became raw. The lead was a burst of laughter, but at the end there was only one sigh left.
His answer also made Li Yu a little surprised, and he secretly said in his heart: Could it be that these so-called Shanyue are really Han people?
He also knows more or less about the history of the Three Kingdoms, mainly from online articles or "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which says that Shanyue is a group of barbarians, and since the end of the Han Dynasty, even after Sun Wu was established, there have been constant rebellions. It is precisely because of the existence of these Shanyue that Sun Wu's Northern Expedition was directly delayed.
Although famous generals such as Lü Meng, Lu Xun, He Qi and Zhong Limu were cultivated as a result, they also seriously consumed Sun Wu's financial and human resources, and the national strength could not be improved, and even Sun Quan had to send people overseas to plunder the population in the later period.
However, now, these Shanyue in front of them claim to be Han Chinese, but it seems a bit unbelievable. Obviously, in this era, there are many things that are not recorded in the history books, so he has to find the truth himself.
"Teach me anything?" Li Yu simply planned to stay and observe these so-called Shanyue people. But if you want to stay, you must first seek your own welfare.
"Of course, it's up to you, if you can teach the Confucian gentleman the six virtues and the six arts of the gentleman, that's the best!" The leader of Shanyue naturally delegated power, but more or less demarcated an area.
Li Yu knows that the six virtues of the gentleman are nothing more than the six virtues of 'benevolence, generosity, courtesy, righteousness, wisdom, and faith'; the six arts of the gentleman also understand, which are the six arts of 'etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and mathematics'. Not to mention the six arts, wouldn't teaching the six virtues out be a direct sinicization? However, what the leader said did not seem to be false, which Li Yu could still see......
Simply, Li Yu stayed in this Shanyue village for the time being. The latter also fulfilled his promise, and immediately sent someone to build a wooden house for Li Yu, and let him live in his home for a few days before the wooden house was built.
Considering that Li Yu had no clothes to change, he gave him several sets of linen clothes and even a set of quilts.
"Why are you treating me so favorably?" Li Yu looked at the sumptuous food in front of him, although it was just some wild fruits and roast beast meat, he could also see that in the eyes of others, this should be a very rich existence.
"Isn't that easy? You're a scholar......" The leader quickly swallowed a piece of meat before he said slowly.
"A scholar who has no long body and no grains deserves your respect?" Li Yu laughed at himself.
"Strength can be exercised, and grains can be slowly learned to distinguish! But even if we want to learn the knowledge in books, there is nowhere to learn it. We don't care, it's just some rough people, but the children can't stop learning, otherwise they will become raw after a long time.
Speaking of which, we are actually Han Chinese, and our grandfathers fled to the south, and they have gained a foothold in Lingyang for three generations. More than ten years ago, I was still living under the mountain, and there were even thousands of good fields at home, and my life was not bad.
It's a pity that now the fields have been forcibly seized by the family, and he has been reduced to Shanyue! But the fact that we have to live in the mountains and forests now does not mean that we are going to be like savages.
It's just that if you can't get in touch with books for a long time and live like this barbaric for a long time, then your son's generation will be fine, and your grandchildren's generation will be afraid that it will be difficult to say......" The leader of Shanyue said self-deprecatingly, but he lacked enough information, so Li Yu inevitably felt a little foggy when he heard it.
In the habit of the Han people, they will not speak when eating. But these people have been casual for too long, so they don't have so many courtesies. After a meal, he talked a lot to Li Yu, and finally let him finish the information.
To put it simply, during the Warring States Period, this was once the territory of the Chu State, and with the destruction of the Chu State by Qin, a large number of Chu people moved south to avoid the violent Qin, further expanding the population of Wu Yue; At the time of the alternation of the Qin and Han dynasties, and the alternation of the Eastern and Western Han dynasties, a large number of people from the Central Plains moved south, once again expanding the population here.
For more than 400 years in the Han Dynasty, most of the indigenous people have been completely sinicized. In addition to those who live in the deep mountains and old forests, such as Yuzhang, Danyang, Wujun and Huiji County, most of them are Sinicized Yue people, and there are also people who have migrated south like the chief.
Of course, the Yue people here are not actually alien, but similar to regional names. For example, Zhang Fei calls himself a Yan person, but in fact, it is because his hometown of Zhuo County is where the former Yan country is located.
As the Han Dynasty set up counties in Wuyue and began to send officials and soldiers, a large number of families began to buy land here. It's just that at this time, most of the land was in the hands of the Yue people and the later people who moved south.
So, how should these families and officials buy land? Open up the wasteland yourself, or ...... Obviously, it is too much trouble to open up the wasteland! Not to mention that the better land was almost occupied by those aborigines!
The Yue people are an inferior nation, and there is such propaganda unconsciously. They are barbarians, they are uncivilized low-level peoples, and even many people in the Central Plains who moved south have been labeled as barbarians.
More taxes than Han people, more labor hours than Han people, less pay than Han people, and the status is also extremely unfair. Even the officials united to embezzle their estates, so that they eventually became proletarians.
As the leader of the mountain and the Yue said, in this case, either live humbly as a domestic animal, or explode in silence! As a result, more and more people fled into the mountains and forests, preferring to become mountain dwellers rather than continue to go down the mountain as slaves!
I don't know when they started, they have the title of Shanyue, whether they go down the mountain to loot or not, they will be treated as thieves. In order to get promoted and make a fortune, many officers have repeatedly gone up the mountain to kill good people and make meritorious deeds.
Speaking of which, Li Yu understood that the Yue people occupied a vast land, but there were few officials in politics, and no official was willing to speak for them.
As the saying goes, they are innocent and guilty, and they lack the strength to protect their land. However, as the largest group of the Han Dynasty, the 'Shijia Da' took a fancy to these lands, so it was obvious that they pushed the Yue people to the opposite side of all Han people through their monopoly of public opinion, so that they could openly encroach on these people's land.
Of course, there may also be some historical factors that the Central Plains people look down on the southerners, or the Han Dynasty deliberately suppressed the people in the land of Chu and other reasons, after all, this is also the original sphere of influence of the Chu overlord, and many of the Yue people cannot be said to be Xiang Chu's former soldiers or officials.
In this way, the leader of this village can still have a heart of Xiang Han, or a heart of a Chinese person, which is really rare.
In the subsequent exchanges, Li Yu knew some more things he needed to know. For example, it is now the second year of Guanghe, and His Majesty is the later Emperor Han Ling, of course, she has to be called Emperor Han now, after all, she has not been hung yet.
If this year is the second year of Guanghe, then there are still about five years before the Yellow Turban Uprising in the seventh year of Guanghe, and even if you go north to the Central Plains at this moment, it is actually useless. One is that there are no rebels recruited in various places, and the other is that according to the leader, his origin is unknown, and he does not have any road guidance certificates, so he can't get mixed up anywhere...... That's probably what it means.
He was in no hurry to leave, and planned to stay in this Wuyue land for a while longer. On the one hand, it is better to observe the current situation, and on the other hand, to do something for these Han abandoners, at least not to let them be barbaric.
It is reported that there are more than 30 villages here in Lingyang, and there are at least 100,000 people. If you can fool them and form a righteous army to crusade against the Yellow Turban Thieves, maybe you can still mix up a good background?
For now, the first thing to do is to win the trust of these Yue people, and teaching may be a good choice. In addition to the standard professor, maybe you can also mix in some private goods! In ancient times, they knew how to respect their teachers better than modern times, and in five years, they gathered a group of disciples and grandchildren, not to mention raising the banner of the rebel army to crusade against the Yellow Turban Army, even if they rebelled with more than 100,000 people, I am afraid that it will not be a problem......
Wait, why do I have such dangerous thoughts! Li Yu shook his head violently, throwing the thought out of his mind. He didn't know that a few years later, he still embarked on the road of rebellion, but that was for another time.
