Chapter 436: Heavenly Empire Paradise
Fang Dangjun heard that Langyan had become the governor of various ministries in Weizhou, how could he not be moved. What's more, eighty percent of the men of the Fangdang tribe are trapped in Huanqing Road, and the grain and grass are cut off, and it is very likely that they have been captured by the Han people. Without these men, the Fangdang tribe would have disappeared.
Whether it was to save his life in the present, or to keep his house and become a tribe later, he had no choice.
"Okay, then I will bother you to report back to General Lu, and my department will return to Daliang. It's getting dark today, so let me prepare some gifts, and tomorrow I'll take them to General Lu myself. ”
Lang Yanming was about to speak, but a guard from the Fangdang tribe hurriedly came in, walked to Fangdangjun's side, and whispered in his ear.
Lang Yanming saw that the guard was strange, so he listened intently, but the guard's voice was very small, and he and Fang Dangjun were five or six feet apart, but he couldn't hear what the guard said.
The guard only said a short sentence and stood up.
Fang Dangjun's face changed, and he said, "Shu Wang Renli is here with troops, let me go out to greet him." ”
Lang Yanyan's first reaction was that he was afraid that Fang Dangjun would change his mind and offer him to Renli. His face just changed, but he thought of the news he heard from Lu Junyi before, and said with a smile: "The old man of the Western Army led an army of Liang to fight Lingzhou, but I don't know if Renli was defeated and fled here, or if he fled after hearing the news. ”
Fang Dangjun said: "Please tell General Lu that the matter of our troops returning to Daliang will not change." I'll have someone send you out first, and as soon as the soldiers and horses are gone, I'll go to see General Lu. ”
Lang Yanming saw that Fang Dangjun was not shaken, and he was also overjoyed, stood up, and was about to say goodbye, when his heart suddenly moved, and said: "I'm afraid that going out at this time will be intercepted by Renli soldiers and horses." The patriarch asked me to take me to another place to take refuge, and I would not be too late to leave until late at night. ”
Fang Dangjun nodded and said, "What I said is that I was negligent, so please ask the Lang Clan Patriarch to be temporarily wronged." ”
After speaking, he turned around and said to the guard who reported the news: "You take the Lang Gang Patriarch to your place to rest, so that you can be entertained." ”
"Yes"
Lang Iwana followed the guards out of Fang Dangjun's house and headed for the low earthen house in the back.
The Fangdang tribe guards the salt pond all the year round, and no longer lives by water and grass, so the place where they live is no longer a tent, but a house built with earth and stone. Fang Dangjun's mansion is no less luxurious than the mansion of the Central Plains magnates. However, the common people of the tribe lived in low mud houses.
The guards led Lang Yanming to his house and asked the women of the house to treat him with the best food and wine.
It didn't take long for the town inhabited by the Fangdang tribe to become noisy.
Because eighty percent of the men of the tribe had gone on the expedition, it became easier for the rest of the people to hunt, and there were two wild birds hunting on the salt lake in the guards' homes.
The woman's cooking skills were not bad. A few dishes are full of color, flavor and flavor, but the name of the rock is a little unate. The wine drunk is also the fruit wine made by the Xixia itself, and the Xixia wine is also prestigious, and when the Xixia paid tribute to the Song Dynasty and the Liao State, the Xixia wine was also an indispensable one.
On the whole, the tribes with salt ponds were much richer than the other tribes.
"Here, eat a bowl."
Lang Yana raised the wine bowl. Ate a bowl with the guards.
The guard filled the name of Lang Yan with a bowl, and said with a smile: "The leader of Lang Yan and the soldiers and horses of Daliang have been walking for many days, so they should have heard a lot of things about Daliang." Can you tell me about it, and let me see it for a long time. ”
Although the name of the profanity is not the heart to say much to the guards. But the cannibal mouth is short, and it is not easy to refuse directly, and said with a smile: "I have only been marching with them for two days, and I will arrive in Yanzhou on the third day." All the way. Most of the time, I took someone to check whether there were any Yanzhou defenders in front of me, and I didn't have much time to spend with them. I just heard them say something about the prince and General Lu. ”
The guard's eyes lit up. Said: "It is said that the prince of Daliang is a god descended from heaven and won a hundred battles, and I don't know what amazing deeds the prince has, so people say so." ”
Lang Yanming smiled: "That's too much, I just met the head of the 800,000 forbidden army in Tokyo surnamed Lin, I heard that he was framed by a traitor, and the lady was detained in Tokyo by the traitor, so he went thousands of miles, broke into Tokyo alone, and rescued the lady of the sect leader." Then he threw a nine-foot man in Dongyue Taishan, won the first place in wrestling, and scattered a lot of profits to the people. Then he rebelled in Liangshan and defeated many Han Chinese generals. There is also something in the back to pull out a tree as a ladder and make a big fuss about Tokyo to carry a jack gate. Then he defeated the Liao State and Western Xia. I can't finish talking about it for a while, the storytellers in the Central Plains are now talking about these paragraphs, and when you go to the Central Plains in the future, you can hear it for a few pennies. ”
The guard said: "What the leader said is that I heard that the Central Plains tile singing, sumo wrestling, shadow puppetry, storytelling, acrobatics, and learning to talk nonsense, day and night. If you can go to the Central Plains to live happily for a few days, it will be worth selling all your family wealth. ”
When the woman who was waiting on the side heard this, she couldn't help but glance at the guard and said, "You go and be happy, my child and I drink the northwest wind." ”
The guard smiled, "Of course I'm going to take you with me." ”
The woman on the side ignored her daydreaming husband and said to Lang Yanming: "Has the leader been to the Central Plains?" ”
"A few years ago, I followed the merchants of the Central Plains to Huanzhou, and there are also tiles in Huanzhou, but there are only singing, sumo, storytelling, and acrobatics in it, and then going to the mainland, there are more programs." ”
When the guard heard this, he immediately said, "How is it, can it make people forget everything?" ”
Lang Yan Yanming nodded and said: "It's really good-looking, especially the kicking, the performer is lying on the table, and he can spin the bottle and plate on his feet and kick it around." I heard that people who perform in Tokyo can turn a bottle with every toe. If it weren't for the people of the tribe, I wouldn't have come back. ”
The guard said, "It costs a lot to go to the tile once, right?" ”
Lang Yanming said with a smile: "Huanzhou Wazi costs twenty wen to enter the door, and it is much more expensive to buy food inside than outside, and if the performance is good, you can give a reward or not." I heard that the tiles in Tokyo cost 200 wen when you enter the door, but I heard that the Han people said that the tiles in Tokyo are late and there are no seats, so the performance must be better. ”
The guard was speechless, "Why is it so expensive?" ”
Lang Yanming said with a smile: "I heard that people with good skills in the tile make no less than a thousand hectares of fertile land in a year. ”
The guard said: "The life of the Han people is really happy, it is like we drive cattle and sheep and farm every day, and our only pastime is hunting." ”
The woman said: "Just thinking about being happy, do you have so much money as a Han person?" If you get to Tokyo, you'll have to sell me and my child for money in a few days. ”
The guard said embarrassedly: "Don't talk nonsense, I'm much more powerful than the Han, they can make a living, and I should make more money than them." ”
The woman ruthlessly attacked her husband's idea of moving to the Central Plains, and mocked: "The Han people can burn porcelain and strike iron, what will you do?" ”
The guard said: "Not all Han people have crafts, and there are many Han people who can only farm the land." ”
The woman seemed to be very afraid of going to a strange place, and said unrelentingly: "Farming is also a skill, the Han people plant one acre and harvest two stones, and you can't even harvest one stone if you plant one acre." If you have land of your own, you will starve to death sooner or later, and you will not have land. You can also herd cattle and sheep, the Central Plains are all fertile land, how can there be pasture for you to herd cattle and sheep. You go to the Central Plains, and sooner or later you will starve to death. ”
"Smack"
When the guard heard the woman's ruthless words, he raised his hand and slapped him, and scolded: "You woman, I talk to the chief, how can you speak." ”
The guard was also angry when his dream was shattered, and he used a lot of force, and when he slapped it, a slap mark appeared on the woman's face.
The woman covered her face and opened her mouth to cry, and although she was unforgiving, she did not dare to resist. To a certain extent, party members can fall in love freely, and even die for both, but they are still inferior to men and women on weekdays, which is similar to the situation in the Central Plains.
Hearing the woman's howl, he couldn't help frowning.
When the guard saw this, he scolded, "Shut your mouth, and cry again and lock you up in the sheepfold for the night." ”
The woman, apparently afraid that the guard would do so, immediately covered her mouth and did not dare to make a sound.
"I'm used to being casual at home on weekdays, don't be surprised by the leader."
Lang Yanming smiled: "It's okay, but I have a lot of mouths, and you are arguing." ”
The guard glared at his own woman again and said, "It's all that woman who is talkative, how dare you blame the leader." ”
Lang Yanming said with a smile: "In fact, if the Great Liang destroys the Western Xia, the Han people will definitely open tiles in various states, and then we don't have to go to the Central Plains, we can watch a play in the nearby state capital." ”
When the guard heard this, he said happily: "What the leader said is that there has never been a shortage of Han people to do business in Yanzhou, but there are no people who can speak and sing. ”
Lang Yan Yan nodded and said: "In the past, the two countries were at war, and those who dared to come to Yanzhou were all private merchants in the Central Plains, and those who had skills were willing to come to the border to take risks." The border is the capital of the big state, there are tiles, and those people in the smaller forts don't take risks, and the Western Xia has plundered many forts, and occasionally grabs a few singing songs, but they still can't get mixed up in the Central Plains. But in the future, we all returned to the big beam, as long as we have money, the Han people will definitely come to open the tile. ”
The guard nodded and said, "The leaders of each tribe have thousands of family fortunes, and there must be many people who go to the tile, and they will definitely make money when they come to us to open the tile." ”
Most of the tribal property was concentrated in the chief's household, especially the large tribes, which had more wealth. On the contrary, small tribes do not have much property, and some small tribes have a hard time surviving, and their leaders are not much stronger than others.
Lang Yanming said with a smile: "Although the tribal leaders are rich, after all, the number is small, and after the imperial court takes away the salt pond, I am afraid that some leaders will move to the Central Plains." It mainly depends on ordinary people, but after the world is unified, it will be easier for us to make money. Without the war, there would have been more merchants here, and our livestock, skins, and herbs would have been sold at a higher price. The price difference between our side and Huanqing Road is much worse. ”
The guard said: "As long as there is money, the people of our tribe are willing to spend it, and I believe that there will be Han people to open the tiles at that time." (To be continued)
