Wang Heng said: "Do you think Black Tiger Village alone can do this?" ”

Lin Bin said: "The Black Tiger Village is the largest barbarian cottage in the four southern counties of Jingzhou, and the owner of the Black Tiger Village has a high prestige among the barbarians in Jingzhou, which is one of them; There are Han families in the Black Tiger Village who give advice to them, which is the second; We are very familiar with the situation of the barbarians in Jingzhou, and this is the third. With these three points, I think we can still play a great role in solving the problem of the barbarians in Jingzhou for Wang Zhijun. ”

Wang Heng nodded, and then said, "I've heard Mr. Lin say 'we' a few times, so can I ask who this 'we' refers to?" ”

Lin Bin pondered for a long time and said, "Have you ever heard of the origin of these Han people in the barbarian cottage of the four counties of Jingnan?" ”

Wang Heng shook his head, he really didn't have any impression of this, there is no record of this in history, maybe a lot of history has been lost in the passage of time, right? He was a little curious now, maybe in Lin Bin's mouth, he could hear a historical secret that had been obliterated.

"We may be called a group of remnants!"

With Lin Bin's gentle voice, a history that was not seen in the annals of history unfolded to Wang Heng.

It turned out that the ancestors of the Han people who lived in the Wuling barbarian cottage were the nobles of the six heroes of the Warring States who were destroyed by Qin Shi Huang, and they were unwilling to submit to Qin Shi Huang, so they moved south, and some of them moved to the four counties of Jingnan, incognito, mixed with the local barbarians, and some intermarried and integrated with the local barbarians, while more people have always maintained the purity of Han blood and culture.

At the end of the Qin Dynasty, some of the descendants of these nobles in the four counties of Jingnan also wanted to take advantage of the time to restore their homeland, but most of them had adapted to the current life and were unwilling to devote themselves to the cruel war for the world, so they stayed, and those who went out of the mountains to fight for the world failed.

For hundreds of years, these Han Chinese living in barbarian cottages have multiplied, and they have taught the barbarians more advanced farming techniques and culture, and they have also won the respect of the barbarians, and they also have great influence among the barbarians in Jingnan.

In fact, Lin Bin now refers to his remnants as Han Chinese, just to facilitate Wang Heng's understanding, otherwise, what can he call himself?

Hearing this, Wang Heng couldn't help but think of "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring", is it these remnants described?

Wang Heng asked, "Since you have already taken root in the barbarian cottage, why do you have to think quietly?" ”

Lin Bin smiled bitterly: "If it weren't for helplessness, who would want to live such an isolated life? ”

Many of the remnants are still very backbone, they have always adhered to the tradition of not eating Han Su, insisting on self-sufficiency, but to be honest, the natural environment of the barbarians' residence is too poor, the four counties of Jingnan were originally more mountainous and less fields, after the Han Dynasty government began to develop Jingzhou, the living environment of the barbarians was even worse, their fields were increasingly occupied by the Han people, and the officials of Jingzhou were very unfavorable to the barbarians' policies, blindly using high-pressure policies, This sparked widespread resentment among the barbarians against local officials and the newly relocated Han Chinese to Jingzhou, and much of the unrest arose in this way.

And those Han remnants who lived with the barbarians gave advice to the barbarians in these turmoil, which made Jingzhou officials suffer a lot, but now many Han remnants are tired of this life.

These Han remnants have always retained their own culture, some of their elites, intelligence and knowledge are not inferior to the children of some big families in the Central Plains, but they have to waste their talents in the mountains from generation to generation, depressed, occasionally unwilling to be lonely, out of the mountains to pursue their dreams of outstanding young people, have not been able to return to the mountains, what happened to them, but also let the people who stay in the mountains full of reverie.

The last few generations of Han Chinese remnants are no longer as closed as their ancestors, and they are also trying to understand the situation in the outside world, and they know that now is the time of chaos in the world, and many outstanding young people are ready to move again, including Lin Bin, who is an outstanding representative of this group of young people.

Wang Heng said: "Then what do you want to do?" ”

Lin Bin said: "We hope that our talents can be put to use, and we also hope that the living environment of those barbarians will be improved!" ”

Wang Heng looked at Lin Bin with blazing eyes and said, "Then why did you find me?" ”

Lin Bin smiled: "Among us, the remnants of the Han people, we have now divided into several factions, one is to maintain the status quo and continue to live in such isolation; One faction wants to continue moving south, looking for a calmer place; One faction wants to take advantage of the troubled times to rise up and compete in the world; There is also a group of us, and we want to find a master who can use our wisdom to assist him with all our might. But in the past few years, we have not found such a master. Until this time, the two righteous servants you sent brought the news that the young master of Shamoke was rescued by Gongzi you, and these two righteous servants respected Gongzi very much, which made us interested all of a sudden, so I came to Hanshou County, just to see what kind of person Gongzi is. ”

Wang Heng said: "Mr. Lin has seen me now, how do you feel?" ”

Lin Bin Zhengse said: "This trip did not disappoint me, the son is really a dragon and a phoenix among the people, and the most rare thing is that he is kind-hearted and broad-minded." ”

"How so?"

"Gongzi came in with the master of the young village, and there was no disdain for the barbarians in his words and deeds, which I have never seen in other Han people outside the mountains, especially among nobles of such an identity as Gongzi, as long as they talk about barbarians, they are either disdainful or laughing, and there is no respect at all, and Gongzi treats barbarians and Han people no differently, which cannot be pretended, which is enough to prove that if under Gongzi's rule, the barbarians will be treated much better than before, which can be described as benevolent; When the child's road is uneven, he draws his sword to help, which can be described as righteousness; I took out the sand gold to test the son, and the son was unmoved, which is enough to prove that the son has a lot of hills and valleys in his chest, far more than glory and wealth; In the past few days, I have asked people about the son's daily behavior, the son gets up every day when he smells the chicken, learns literature and martial arts, treats the righteous servants and slaves with courtesy, and treats the virtuous corporal of the king's envoy to the king. ”

In fact, there is another thing that Lin Bin hasn't said yet, that is, Wang Heng is young, he is moody in front of him, and he is as calm as a middle-aged man who has been in the world for a long time, which is a must-have for those in the upper position. Of course, Lin Bin didn't know that in Wang Heng's young body, he was actually the soul of a graduate student from modern age.

Wang Heng was still expressionless, but his heart was turbulent, the Lin Bin in front of him had not left any traces in history, but he was very intelligent, especially his observation was extraordinary, and he also knew the current shape very well, for his character and ambition, he only relied on some clues, and he dissected it clearly, which was really amazing.

He also understood why he was able to impress Lin Bin, he was from modern times, and he was born with a concept of equality in his character, even for barbarians, and his attitude towards Shamoke was indeed not something that could be pretended, which was very attractive to Lin Bin, who had a deep barbarian background.

Thinking of this, Wang Heng said: "Mr. Lin made a conclusion based on this friendship, isn't it too hasty?" ”

Lin Bin's expression became a little mysterious: "Childe, our Lin family is good at governing the Book of Changes, and I also know some face reading techniques, I look at the face of the son, it is really expensive!" I also had a hexagram before I came, and the hexagram is a good luck! ”

Wang Heng couldn't help laughing, but he also knew that there were many people in this era who believed in this very much, and sometimes, it was quite beneficial for him to be able to maintain some of this mystery.

Wang Heng said to Lin Bin noncommittally: "Then please ask Mr. Lin to tell me about the current situation of the barbarians in Jingzhou." ”

Wang Heng's calmness made Lin Bin secretly frightened, such words could not make Wang Heng's face change, is this really a thirteen-year-old boy? However, this also made Lin Bin more confident in Wang Heng.

Hearing Wang Heng's words, Lin Bin cheered up and talked about the situation of the barbarians in Jingzhou.

The specific number of barbarians in the four counties of Jingnan Lin Bin is not very clear, but at least more than 300,000 people, they are concentrated in the thousands of cottages in the four counties of Jingnan, these cottages are only a few dozen people, more than thousands of people, among which the Black Tiger Village is one of the largest cottages, with more than 4,000 people, so the owner of the Black Tiger Village is still very influential among the barbarians in Jingzhou.

As for these Han remnants who lived with the barbarians, there are not many left, and a large part of them have continued to move to the east and south, going to the more inaccessible mountains, and some have left the mountains and migrated to the plains, but now there are still more than 10,000 people left, basically scattered in the relatively large barbarian cottages in the four counties of Jingnan.

Because these Han remnants are knowledgeable, taught the barbarians a lot of practical skills, and can help the barbarians to give advice, they have played an irreplaceable role in the confrontation between the barbarians and the Han government, so their status among the barbarians is very high, and the wise men among them often become the brains of the barbarian village owners, with a supreme position, some of them intermarry with the barbarians, and the Han remnants with a part of the barbarian blood have become the leaders of the barbarians, and they have great power and can directly command tens of thousands of barbarians within their sphere of influence. They are also the most ambitious.
