Chen Lin insisted on going deep into Bashan to personally understand the situation of the Yi people in Bashan, so on the fifth day of Chen Lin's arrival in Baozhong, under the leadership of Liu Hua, he marched to Bashan, Liu Hua had only entered Bashan twice, and more contact with the Yi people by his housekeeper. This time Chen Lin decided to enter the mountain, how dare Liu Hua not be a guide in person, the group abandoned the horse and hiked, Liu Hua ordered the housekeeper to open the way, and the family came to the foot of the mountain in half a day, and then really entered Bashan.

As soon as he entered the mountain, Chen Lin felt a damp air rushing towards him, and the air was much fresher than the outside, and everyone took a big breath. The housekeeper of Liu's Mansion explained at this time: "My lord, there is a lot of rain at night in this Daba Mountain, even if there is a great drought outside for many years, this mountain is still humid, and it will be dry at the end of every year. It is said that there are times when a fire breaks out in the middle of this mountain due to dryness, and it can burn the mountain to the fullest, but fortunately, such things are rare. When Chen Lin and the others heard this, they looked at the thick branches and leaves on the ground, and couldn't help but swallow a cool breath, if this burned, it must be a hundred miles.

All the housekeepers I saw along the way came one by one, Huang Yan Shenjian, and also shot two elk, everyone roasted the fire and ate meat, Chen Lin looked at the appearance of this mountain, no wonder there have always been few people who have entered the mountain to fight the barbarians and have won. Now everyone is concentrating on walking, and they have to fall and get injured from time to time, let alone fight here, I really don't know how the Yiren did it, but Zhou Cang is walking like a flat foot here. was so angry that Huang Yan shouted loudly behind him: "Zhou Cang, if you go back, you will definitely burn your feet full of hair." It turned out that Zhou Cang's feet were hairy, and he could walk in this slippery mountain without even wearing shoes, Huang Yan shouted and caused Zhou Cang to laugh, jumping up and down on the rocks in the stream.

Suddenly, Zhou Cang, who was at the front, hurriedly ran back, and said in a straight and low voice: "Young Master, we are surrounded." Saying that, several guards hurriedly drew their knives to surround Chen Lin in the middle, and Huang Yan immediately prepared with arrows. After a while, there was a sound in the surrounding jungle, and a group of short, poorly clothed men jumped out from everywhere, all of them were unusually strong, and everyone had wooden guns and bows in their hands aimed at Chen Lin and the others. Chen Lin hurriedly spoke: "Don't panic, don't panic, don't do it without my order." ”

At this time, a young man walked out of there, only surrounding*, shouting at Chen Lin and the others, but speaking in authentic Chinese: "What kind of person, what are you doing in my Tiger Village?" "The Yi people in Bashan communicate with the Han people all the year round, and many of them can speak Chinese, and the Bashan Yi people are very envious of the Han culture, and even many Yi people take the names of the Han people.

At this time, Chen Lin hurriedly looked at Liu Hua, Liu Hua looked at the housekeeper again, and the housekeeper saw that the young man knew him, otherwise the housekeeper would not have taken Chen Lin and the others in this direction. So the housekeeper came out of the crowd: "Young Master Tiger, it's so-and-so, Mo Liuxian's housekeeper." The butler hurriedly let the other side see himself clearly. When the young man saw it, he suddenly burst out laughing and rushed up: "It turned out to be Steward Liu, hahaha." He ordered everyone to put down their weapons, and the young man came over and took the butler's hand: "The leader also said, why haven't I seen the housekeeper come in for a long time, Ahu was not allowed to go to the city last month, so I haven't seen the housekeeper for a long time, come, go to my village, let the leader see." The housekeeper wanted to introduce Chen Lin and others, but he was dragged forward by the young man, leaving Chen Lin and Liu Hua behind, and Liu Hua was so angry that Liu Hua was angry, for fear that Chen Lin would be angry.

Chen Lin looked helpless, but he didn't blame it, and called Liu Hua to hurry up and follow the young man. After a short time, he came to the terrain of a small basin, where there were about 300 strange houses scattered all over the place, and Chen Lin knew at a glance that this was only a tribe of about 1,000 people. As soon as Chen Lin and the others entered the village, the residents of the village gathered around, and when they saw Chen Lin and the others empty-handed, some people shouted: "Why don't you bring the goods in?" It turned out that these people thought that Chen Lin and others were here to exchange goods. It seems that the young man also had just thought that the housekeeper and the others did not bring anything into the mountain, and looked at the housekeeper with a puzzled expression, and then Chen Lin found an opportunity to speak: "Young Master Hu, someone is here to see the leader." ”

The housekeeper hurriedly introduced: "Young Master Hu, this is Lord Chen, the Taishou of Hanzhong County, my Great Han, and I want to talk to the leader about something." As soon as Young Master Hu heard that it was Taishou, an official of the Han people, his face changed, and he said unkindly: "What does the Han official have to say?" As soon as he spoke, Zhou Cang was furious and was about to make a move, and the young people around him hurriedly guarded, and the housekeeper was so frightened that he was in a dilemma. Chen Lin hurriedly drank Zhou Cang, and there was a loud shout behind Young Master Hu, but it was a more majestic man who came out to stop Yimin Qingzhuang.

Chen Lin looked at his person, it was on a par with Zhou Cang, that person looked at it, first looked at Chen Lin, and then expected to look at Zhou Cang, the housekeeper obviously knew this person, and hurriedly spoke: "Leader of the Heavenly Tiger, this is a misunderstanding, this is Lord Chen, the Taishou of Hanzhong County, hoping to conspire with the leader." Chen Lin then stepped forward: "This is the county guard of Hanzhong, could this be the leader's hospitality?" Tianhu laughed, waved his hand, and the clansmen who had already put down their weapons hurriedly retreated, and said loudly to Chen Lin: "Come, dare to come to my Dazhai is also considered to be brave, come in and drink a pot, so as not to make you wait for Han people to laugh and not understand hospitality." After speaking, Chen Lin and the others were invited to enter a big pavilion and asked someone to put melons, fruits, water and wine.

After sitting down, Tianhu took the lead in speaking: "I don't know what the Han Taishou Lord wants to do when he wants to see me?" Chen Lin put down his wine glass and smiled: "Actually, this official is not here to see the leader." After speaking, he looked at Tianhu with a smile, Tianhu's face turned dark, and the young master tiger behind him was furious: "Trick us." Zhou Cang glared back angrily, Tianhu's eyes flashed, and he asked urgently: "What is the name of this strong man?" Zhou Cang: "A certain is a subordinate of Lord Taishou, Zhou Cang is also." Tianhu hurriedly toasted Zhou Cang, Zhou Cang looked at Chen Lin, Chen Lin nodded, and Zhou Cang drank the wine, which was regarded as a tribute to Tianhu.

Chen Lin said: "This official is the leader of the seventeen villages. When Tianhu heard this, he was puzzled: "Want to see the leader of the Seventeen Villages?" Taishou-sama must have an explanation, right? At this time, Jia Xu spoke: "The people of Bashan live in Bashan, and Hanzhong lives under Bashan, and my lord wants the people of the two ethnic groups to live and work in peace and contentment, and wants to set up a mutual market in Baozhong, which is specially designed for the exchange of goods between the two ethnic groups, so that the people of the two ethnic groups are no longer disorderly and irregular to exchange goods." ”

When Tianhu heard that it was related to the lives of the people of his own clan, he couldn't help but be a little serious, and Tianhu said again: "The Han people set up this kind of mutual market in the Han land, wouldn't they bully our clan even more?" "Because the Han people are shrewd, there are always many Han people who deceive and deceive people by various means in the past, so Tianhu has this saying. Suddenly, Chen Lin had a flash of inspiration and said: "No, this time, this official will set up an official to be in charge of the mutual market, and at the same time, this official also hopes that the Bashan people will send a person to the mutual market to be an official and jointly manage it, so that there will be no more unfair transactions." As soon as Chen Lin finished speaking, he actually let Yiren go down the mountain as an official, Jia Xu's eyes lit up, and then he returned to calm.

Tianhu was also full of emotion, seeing that Chen Lin said that the head was the way, and the group talked about it when it was dark, Chen Lin and the others stayed in the Tianhu tribe, and Tianhu had already ordered people to go and summon other leaders. Now Bashan has become three, but the Tianhu tribe is following the leader of Yuan Yue. Tianhu even went to see Yuan Yue in person overnight, and Chen Lin and the others couldn't see Tianhu himself for two consecutive days. Until the third day, it was not only Tianhu who came back, but the leaders of the seventeen villages of Bashan appeared in the village of Tianhu under the leadership of three people, these three people are the three leaders Du Hao, Pu Hu, and Yuan Yue, all three of whom are huge but slightly shorter than the Han people.

Chen Lin knew that the matter with Bashan Seventeen Villages was actually decided by these three people, so he explained to Jia Xu about these three people. Du Hao hurriedly shouted: "Who knows that it is not your Han people's tricks." The other two obviously trusted Chen Lin very much, and when the last three of them left, they said that they could send someone to the mutual market that Chen Lin said first, and try to trade to see if it would work. Chen Lin was overjoyed, this is a great breakthrough, it seems that his identity as a guard is not useless.

Liu Hua never spoke from beginning to end, and he didn't even have any special enthusiasm to see the so-called "relatives", because this was actually an unsightly thing for the Liu family, and Yiren only valued heroes and disrespected scholars, so it was like this. On the way back, Chen Lin was obviously satisfied, and said to Liu Hua: "This mutual market should be fast, Lord Liu can start to handle it when he goes back this time, set up a market outside Baozhong City, select several assistants to help, and in terms of money, the county immediately ordered Lord County Cheng to dock with Lord Liu." ”

On the second day of returning to Baozhong, Chen Lin directly appointed Liu Hua as the county adjutant to be responsible for mutual market affairs, and Liu Hua suddenly changed from a county official to a county official, and he was very grateful to Chen Lin. Liu Hua also has some skills, and soon chose the address, and simply set up the necessary requirements for the market, and at the same time quite innovatively erected a big sign at the gate of the mutual market, which wrote several laws and regulations of the mutual market, and at the same time wrote the punishment clearly.

When Chen Lin came to inspect, when he saw this brand, he praised Liu Hua again, Liu Hua hurriedly humbled and didn't dare, and said: "My lord, the lower officials have been thinking about it for the past few days, and there is one thing that must be agreed by Taishou. Chen Lin said: "It doesn't matter, as long as it is beneficial to the mutual market and the Han and Yi ethnic groups, Lord Liu might as well say it directly." ”

Liu Hua said: "My lord, Xia Guan feels that this mutual market has just begun, and it is an exchange with the barbarians, so there must be some contradictions, and Xia Guan hopes that the adults can add a few sergeants to the mutual market, so that they can be used for deterrence." When Jia Xu heard this, he nodded to Chen Lin, and Chen Lin saw that Jia Xu agreed, so he appointed five sergeants to be stationed in Hushi at the same time, but strictly ordered the sergeants not to oppress the people.

With Chen Lin and Liu Hua's work, Steward Liu personally went into the mountain to say that he would move the people down the mountain. In the past, there were many people in Bashan Yi who went down the mountain to exchange goods, but there was no such fixed location, and now it is just a fixed place for exchanging goods, and it is also the beginning of the mutual market that some Yi people began to carry mountain goods, and the selling price was a little higher than usual, and they went back to the mountain happily.

Chen Lin looked at all this, although it was only the beginning, but Chen Lin had the confidence to continue. said to Jia Xu: "Wenhe, as long as the Yi people go down the mountain and are no longer afraid of my Han people, one day, they will be allowed to settle down the mountain, are you credible?" ”
