Chapter 0996. Flicker solved
The earliest city was born in West Asia, Mesopotamia, thousands of years, the city here seems to have maintained the original appearance, except for only a few Fujian merchants to buy the nomadic specialty shops, the small urban area, completely composed of several clans and tribes, tribesmen live in the city to guard against wild beasts and attacks, and cultivate the land outside the city. XsHuoTXt
In this case, there is no attention to the separation of man and animal, and more than a dozen precious big fat pigs of the exiled family are raised near the city gate, as if they are not aware of the catastrophe, and they are still grunting and arching the leftover pigweed in the pig trough.
These pigs are obviously different from the primitive pig breed that is obviously close to the wild boar in West Asia, except for the head of a piece of black, the other parts are round, this pig is a two-color Jinhua pig introduced from China, after more than 1,000 years of breeding and improvement of the Chinese farming people, a round physique, big belly, docile and docile, naïve and cute, without revealing the fierce wildness of the local pig.
This pig was a little surprised to see and the Arabs who came over, and some of them were beyond their knowledge of pigs.
Guarding the only remaining pigs, one by one the young and strong people looked at those Arabs vigilantly, pinching their chins and looking at these guys who were fatter than themselves, Song is frowning, these guys are the source of the conflict.
One side will never tolerate these guys, and the other side will never give up these delicacies, and the problem is really a dead knot.
This Song, Yao Chong and the two scholars pondered and meditated, but on the other hand, Li Ming's flickering big eyes showed an interested look, as if he had never seen pigs too much, this "sissy" actually naughtily took the pigweed and stepped forward to tease the fat pig that ate Zhengxiang.
vaguely guessed Li Ming's identity, watching her have fun, Yao Chong also felt that it was interesting to each other, and shook his head.
But looking at this vivid scene, suddenly a little aura flashed in Yao Chong's mind, slapped the door of his head, pulled Yao Chong and Li Ming, and this little white face with no kind eyes muttered quietly.
Song's chubby cheeks obviously showed a little surprise and laughter, and he pulled the government soldiers beside him and commanded twice. Turning his head to look at the Arabs with frowning brows, Li Ming was full of sly smirk.
The two gangs of people were stuck there for a long time, and a few of the soldiers who were sent out were late, and in the surprised eyes of a group of guys, they brought back an uninvited guest, even if the four hooves were tied together, they still screamed with their necks stalked.
Covered with hard black hair, with sharp fangs growing out of his mouth, he looked at the people around him fiercely, those Arab clans immediately showed disgust at a glance, and even the Han people couldn't help frowning, this thing is a local pig in the Middle East, lean, and ugly and fierce, even Li Ming, who had just fed the pig, hid backwards in disgust.
This time, without waiting for Song to explain, the imam, the elder of the Islamic community, had already spoken Arabic in displeasure.
"He said, why are we trying to get this ugly thing!" Following the annoyed words of the white-bearded imam, Li Ming translated them fluently.
"This elder, the reason why Captain Pontus got this thing is because this matter is a misunderstanding and needs to be clarified!"
Shaking his head, Song explained seriously, and after listening to it, Han Kuang's old eyes were round, just don't let them raise pigs, what misunderstanding?
However, after Li Ming's translation, Song ordered another serious person to take out a pig from the pigsty, rinse it with water, and compare it with the local pigs on the ground.
"Elder, you see, these two kinds of things are black and white, fat and thin, they are clearly two kinds of things, what you Muhammad forbade to eat, it is this kind of pig, we Han people raise, it is this, uh, foodie beast!"
A new term was invented by Song, which made Li Mingdu, who translated, pause, and just found a similar word in the scarce Arabic and translated it.
It's purely a fool, not to mention Li Ming, many Han people who have seen wild boars and domestic pigs behind him can't help but laugh, but the group of Arabs who listened to it were really amazed, indeed, a round white fat man, a thin ugly monster, how to look at how it is not a breed.
The hardest thing to fool is the old imam, who frowned and looked at it for a long time, but the old man still shook his head with difficulty.
"Don't bully us desert people who haven't seen the world, these two things are clearly pigs!"
Haven't been fooled? Song couldn't help but secretly feel weak, gritted his teeth on the side, and Yao Chong came up with a killer idea.
"Come on, turn both ends, uh, over!"
It's quite a coincidence, both are boars, pointing at Ding Ding of the two pigs, Yao Chong shouted loudly and confidently.
"Elder, look, can this thing look different from the same species?"
It's really dumbfounded, the two black things behind the buttocks of the local pigs in the Middle East are big and round, while the big white pigs raised by the Han people are not at all.
Seeing this thing, Li Ming couldn't help but turn crimson, and glared at Yao Chong angrily, and then translated the words, in fact, she didn't need to translate, the imam elder had already looked at it himself with surprise and round eyes.
Not only him, but even Han Kuang muttered in disbelief: "This is really not a thing!" The old man must record it in the book! ”
Before Han Kuang finished muttering, a young descendant holding back a smile on the side hurriedly whispered a few words in his ear, and after listening, Han Kuang's old face suddenly turned red like a monkey's belly.
He is not diligent and does not distinguish between grains and grains, how do you know the Tao, which comes from a cultivation of livestock technology in ancient China, pigs, both when the pigs are young, the boars and sows are castrated, so that the pigs raised are docile, and there is no waste of nutrition in the mating estrus, and they grow extraordinarily fat and strong.
The Arab imams don't know about this! Looking at the two completely different boars, for a long time, the white-bearded old man nodded with difficulty.
The sabre-rattling fighting was solved so easily, the pigs thrown into the dung pit could no longer be eaten, and the Arabs who were at a loss had to compensate the Han people for a few larger cattle and camels to make tooth sacrifices, and the Tang community also decided never to pass on the techniques of plowing pigs and geldings to the Arabs.
Watching the Tang people happily slaughtering camels and dividing the meat, and following the dejected Arabs out together, Yao Chongsong and the others were also full of a sense of achievement, especially Song shook his fat head with emotion.
"Hey, I studied hard for ten years, just to be an official and make decisions for the people, who would have thought that I would become a soldier, and I thought that there would never be such an opportunity again, but I didn't expect God to give Song a chance to be the master of the people, no regrets!"
However, Li Ming, who was following behind, was full of stupidity on his pretty face, and muttered unhappily: "This matter is still not done well by the local county officials, for the sake of his official position to be stable, favoring these Arab Turks, if he wants a bowl of water to be level, how can these Tang people rely on weapons for everything?"
"Soldiers can't interfere in politics!"
"Don't worry, I have my own way!"
Listening to Song's anxious persuasion, Li Ming smiled and waved his hand indifferently.
Yao Chong's eyes jumped again when he watched this scene, he knew that Li Ming was not an ordinary person, and it seemed that her identity was even more precious!
However, just when a few young military leaders were giggling, the old imam, who was walking at the back and was full of wrinkles and gray beards, looked left and right for a while, and then lowered his voice and whispered to Song Sansan.
"My lord, you, cunning, that's still a pig, I, know!"
Although the words were stumbling, it was Tang language, and the excitement of listening to a sentence made the three of them break out in a cold sweat.
Didn't flicker?
"You!"
"No, strange, yes, year, there are a lot of Tang people, merchants, buying, tribes, things, learning, knowing, Tang language."
Looking at Song's fat but much tougher cheeks, the old imam smiled slyly, but then became serious again, and said solemnly.
"Tang people, eat pigs, no matter, no allowed, pig blood, splash, defile, mosque!"
Squeezed out one word at a time, the people who listened to it were quite uncomfortable, Song and Li Ming were full of awkwardness, scratching their heads, Yao Chong's handsome little white face like a cream boy suddenly became serious.
"Imam, who do you listen to? The Tang people are going to splash pig's blood on the mosque? ”
Pig blood paste is also a delicacy of the Han people, usually put away and eat, do not see the Tang people throw pig blood, out of thin air, these nomads are impossible to imagine that the Han people will splash the mosque with pig blood.
Even the killing of pigs is not very noticeable, how did these Arabs rush to the courtyard where the Tang people killed pigs so coincidentally, beat people, and lost pigs!
Unless someone provokes!
The smell of this conspiracy is serious, listening to Yao Chong's vigilant shouting, Song and Li Ming also reacted in a trance, seeing that the old imam looked puzzled and didn't understand Yao Chong's rapid and complicated Tang language, Li Ming anxiously put his hands on his shoulders, and asked in Arabic.
also saw the unusual attitude of the three of them, but this time, the old imam, who had just been able to cooperate, hesitated for a moment, and then shook his head with an unnatural expression.
At this time, the three of Song were in a hurry.
If these internal sowing discord are allowed to exist, the cities of the Min people will obviously be unstable, and if the Arab army from outside attacks, and then the internal contradictions are numerous, in this isolated place west of the Zagros Mountains, they can no longer die.
But this stubborn old imam still refused to cooperate, let alone arrest him and torture him, originally the other party was to create a contradiction between Tang and A, so that he was in his arms, seeing the white-bearded old man full of vigilance, and the young man of the Arabian Oasis tribe who stopped in doubt, Song couldn't help but fall into a dilemma.
