"The conditions for tiger and leopard riding are extremely harsh, not only to have outstanding martial arts, but also to keep pace with the robe, you are a ranger, idle and accustomed, I am afraid that it will be difficult to be selected for a while, it is better to experience in the Youzhou riding formation, and then I will protect you into the tiger and leopard riding in the future. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info," Cao Pi said.

Wang Xiong was overjoyed when he heard this, and said: "Obey the state pastoral order. ”

Cao Pi immediately asked Yan Rou to incorporate Wang Xiong into the army, and Wang Xiong said: "Tell the state pastor, my nephew is still young, and he has suffered a big change, and he is silent, and I also ask the state pastor to let him stay with the little people, so that the little people can slowly understand." ”

Without waiting for Cao Pi to speak, Cao Zhen said: "The march is hard, I'm afraid your nephew can't stand it, since you live in Yecheng, it's better to send someone to send him back." ”

Wang Xiong shook his head and said, "This kid only recognizes me now." ”

Cao Pi glanced at the child named Han Long and said: "For a while, I can't find anyone to send him to Yecheng, just let Yuanbo take him with him, it's okay for him to be chased and killed by the Xianbei people, and the march will not be difficult for him." ”

Hearing Cao Pi say this, everyone immediately stopped talking. Then everyone continued to hurry, about a meal, but saw more than ten Xianbei knights running towards them, one of them there was a Xianbei holding a flag, on which was painted a roaring bear, before Cao Pi thought that the Hu people worship wolves, but did not expect the Xianbei people to worship the bear more, Yan Rou on the side said: "Xianbei people believe in shamanism, they worship fire, worship mountains, worship mountains and rivers, worship the sun, moon and stars, also worship bears and ancestral gods, the bear is a symbol of strength, in Xianbei can play the bear flag is only Kebi can be a person." ”

Cao Pi looked at the flag when he heard this, and sure enough, he saw a tall man wearing fur under the flag, this man's armor was more delicate and brand-new than the people around him, although it was not as delicate as the Mingguang armor of Cao Jun's generals, but it covered more places than the ordinary two-gear armor, and the fur covered outside was also very good, it didn't look cheap, and the pointed hat on his head was also covered with a circle of fur, which could be seen to be carefully decorated.

That person's age is not very old, he looks like he is only twenty-five or sixteen years old, according to the time he paid tribute to Yan Rou, it was already five years ago, which means that when this person is twenty years old, he has a certain strength in Xianbei.

If you count the time when he became the leader of the tribe, I am afraid that it will be about the same as the current Cao Pi, and he will only be seventeen or eighteen years old. In Cao Pi's view, such a life trajectory is like a hanging, and at the same time, he also believes what Yan Rou said: If you give this person another ten or twenty years, you will become a confidant.

After the knights on both sides approached, the young man in fur stopped his men, and Ce immediately came up and asked in Chinese: "Is the person who came from Youzhou, the Great Han Dynasty, the imperial court deacon, Cao Zihuan, Cao Gong?" "Although it's a bit non-standard, it's good for a Xianbei person.

Yan Rou beside him whispered to Cao Pi first: "This person is Ke Bineng. Then he raised his voice and said: "Kebi can be single, Cao Gong is in the array, and he has not come to see him." ”

Kebineng immediately shouted to his subordinates, and the knight who was holding the flag immediately dismounted and lowered the flag slightly, while Kebineng dismounted, bent over, crossed his hands on his chest, walked to Cao Jun step by step, bent down deeply, and said: "Xianbei is only Yu Kebineng, see Youzhou Mu, Zhijin Wu Cao Gong." "It's very humble.

Cao Pi had already seen the appearance of this person clearly when he came in, he was very tall, a little taller than the susceptible, his hair was a little brown, his complexion was pale, his nose was high and his eyes were deep, and he was not Han at first glance. Although the man's tone was very humble, his voice was very loud, which made people feel that he was a man who was accustomed to giving orders and was full of words.

"It's just a free courtesy." Cao Pi said.

After thanking him, Kebi straightened up and said: "The state pastor has come to Xianbei, and all our Xianbei tribes feel honored, and I implore the state pastor to go to the tribe of the lower officials for a few days." ”

Cao Pi laughed; "That's very good, please lead the way."

Kebi bowed deeply again, then got on his horse and led the way. Before dark, they reached the tribe of Kebineng, whose tribe was built along the banks of a river, the tents on both sides of the river were winding for more than ten miles, and outside the tents were one fenced pasture after another, the neighing of horses, the sound of cattle and sheep was incessant, and the voices of people were full of southern and northern tones. The tribes of the Kebineng were much more open than those of the Han Dynasty.

Kebineng said to Cao Pi: "There is no city here in Xiaguan, and there is no prosperity in the Central Plains, which makes the state pastor smile." ”

Cao Pi said with a smile: "My Han has a city to defend itself, but the merchants, culture and goods outside the territory are also blocked outside the city wall, far from the grand occasion of ethnic integration in your country, each has its own strengths, how dare to laugh." ”

Kebineng said with a smile: "The state pastor praised, the people of the Anxi country and the people of the Kushan country in the tribe are all here to exchange horses with our Xianbei people, and they also want to enter the Central Plains to do business, especially silk is something they want to buy in large quantities, but first, they don't know where to enter the customs, and secondly, the Central Plains now has different taxes in various places, and the market has to collect taxes every time it passes through a state, and even a county and a county have to collect taxes again, because they would rather stay here and wait for the merchants of the Han Dynasty to come and sell it to them at a high price, rather than enter the customs to buy silk." ”

After Dong Zhuo's rebellion, the warlords were divided and not subordinated, and there would indeed be a problem of collecting new taxes from every state and county, for example, today you are in Yuan Shao's territory and tomorrow in Cao Cao's territory, you will inevitably collect taxes twice, and the day after tomorrow, if you go to the Gongsun clan in Liaodong, you will inevitably have to collect taxes again, plus now that the world is in disarray, bandits are rampant, and it is indeed more dangerous to enter the customs, which Kebi can say is the truth.

"Now the situation is much better, at least from Youzhou entry, I guarantee that most of the states and counties in Xuzhou, Yuzhou, Yanzhou, and Jizhou will not collect taxes repeatedly, and when I return to Youzhou, I will mark out the areas where only one tax can be paid once, not only the people of the country of peace and the country of Guishan can enter the customs to do business, but also the people of Xianbei are welcome to come to us." Cao Pi said.

Now the Cao army controls a lot of territory, and the countries have to communicate with each other that is a thing that must be done, not only to be able to buy their own production of materials, but also to stimulate the development of trade, in fact, after the establishment of the Three Kingdoms, the Wei State has been standing under the attack of Wu and Shu is of course the credit of the strategists and generals, but there is another point, that is, the national strength of the Wei State is strong, and every major war can recover faster, and after the chase, it supports the army to destroy the two countries, which is also the credit of the entire state machinery to operate, It doesn't rely on a general and a strong army, after all, elite soldiers and fierce generals also need money and food to support.

This national strength includes productivity, population, financial resources and other factors, and financial resources and trade with various countries is an important part, whether it is a country of rest or Kushan, are thousands of miles away from the big country, such as grapes, broad beans, pomegranates, saffron, walnuts in the two countries, the Han Dynasty did not have.

Cao Pi opened this mouth, but also for the sake of Youzhou's economic vitality, after all, attracting foreign capital is a shortcut to prosperity. (To be continued.) )
