Chapter 55

Chen Yun and the others were invited into an extremely luxurious hall, and Lao Ku and several sons received them personally.

After a while of greetings between the two sides, the old Kuli ordered someone to take out a large blanket.

A lying tiger is woven on the large carpet, lifelike.

Chen Yun looked at the blanket carefully, and couldn't help but praise: "This is a large carpet woven with silk, the workmanship is gorgeous, it is really a priceless treasure, just the material, it is worth a city, if you count the workmanship, it is not comparable to a country." ”

Old Kuli was triumphant, "In the West, the price of silk is hundreds of times more expensive than gold, and the weaving master dyes the silk with color, and then hooks it out stitch by stitch, it took hundreds of people for ten years, do you say it is not the most valuable treasure in the world?" ”

Chen Yun nodded, then shook his head again, "It's a pity...... It's a pity that this kind of priceless thing, but there is no buyer in the world anymore, the so-called city Yibao, but also only the king of the Spring and Autumn Period, your treasure, can only be appreciated by yourself. ”

Old Kuli looked up to the sky and snorted, "I won't sell it if there is a buyer, this is the treasure of the town, if one day I can't live here, my children and grandchildren will take this big blanket to the west, and naturally they can rely on it to ......make a comeback." ”

"Takami...... However, old Curry thinks that this Great Moon City will not be able to live? ”

“…… Originally, in the land of the Western Regions, it was common to open the country and destroy the country, when the Han Dynasty set up the Western Regions to protect it, and the captain of Wu has been the captain, etc., it was only to protect the interests of the Han State itself, fortunately, we have always had our own organization, and fortunately, businessmen and businessmen only pay attention to time-honored brands, for example, we only recognize the Chen family, so we are not afraid of changing the dynasty. However, the rule of the Jin prince in Dayue City this time was to use the Roman system in the west and put it on a city-state in the east, which is something that has not happened in history, so I am not sure. ”

Lao Kuli explained the political system implemented by Sima Dan in Yuecheng again, and Chen Yun also asked a lot of questions carefully.

"You have five Senate seats, are you satisfied?"

"If the Senate can be like Rome, then we will naturally be satisfied, but the senators here only take care of their own interests, and the two consuls Lucky Star and Dragon Ear do not have much authority, so the discussions of the Senate are often fruitless, and become a place of quarrel, which also enables the consuls to do whatever they want, hum! They can only do whatever they want, and there are always people who oppose anything he does anyway, and in this case, the Senate has no authority...... I think...... It may even trigger internal commotion. ”

Chen Yun didn't know why there was a wave of anger in his heart, "So you are used to the absolute rule of a king, so that you have the opportunity to govern together and dismantle your own platform?" ”

Old Kuli was stunned, "What the third lady said makes sense, but it's useless just that we have figured it out and want to cooperate, and it is impossible for others to coax us blindly to tolerate it!" ”

"Huh! It's me who is nosy, old Mr. Curry, and I have come this time to inquire about Rouran's situation. ”

"Rouran? Their luck was so bad that they had a dispute with their original ally Yue while they were stationed in the Western Regions. ”

"Pleasant?"

"That's a tribe that came down from the Snow Lake in the far north, it's a Xiongnu branch, haven't heard of it? It's no wonder that they used to be attached to Rouran and never had contact with the outside world, and the fox skins they hunted were very good, but they were by no means good, and they dared to do it against Rouran. Third Miss, I heard that you once met Prince Jin in the army, do you want to ask him about it? ”

"The crown prince is a pivotal figure, I naturally want to know his current situation!"

"In Yanqi, take private soldiers to beg for food."

"Begging for food?"

"Suddenly, there are so many more people, and the food rations are naturally not enough."

"You're hoarders, aren't you? This time, because of the war, there must be a problem with the autumn harvest. ”

"If they are defending the city, then we will give out food for free, but now is peacetime, and it is naturally up to us to sell it or not."

"Will they be able to get food? The dignified prince even went to do these things to beat the grass valley, haha! It's funny to think about! Chen Yun never knew what hunger was like, and of course she only thought it was funny.

"I took tens of thousands of people to go, and I am determined to get it! Looks like I'm going to have to sell some food out, and the price won't go up again! ”

"You're so capable, it looks like I can go there and see him!" Chen Yun said slowly, but Xiang Yun, who had been silent beside her, was already angry, and Chen Yan felt funny in his eyes.

Sima Dan went out of the city for ten miles to meet Long Er.

The two dismounted and embraced.

Long Er hurriedly knelt down again: "The minister knocks to see the prince!" ”

Sima Dan patted him on the shoulder vigorously: "Hurry up, damn, what's wrong?" ”

Long Er laughed: "Aren't I afraid that the prince will be careless and rush to help?" ”

Sima Dan punched his chest with his fists, "Even if I learned the behavior of you nonsense, people also made nonsense, but you just happened to come, and I have something to discuss with you." ”

"Isn't it how to deal with the family of the elderly?"

“…… The two mothers and sons...... He was assassinated this morning...... "Sima Dan was gloomy.

"That'...... That must have been the work of the rebels in their country, the prince...... This also solves one thing...... This time it was thanks to the military advisor again. ”

"Humph! When did you get out of the same nostril? ”

Looking at Sima Dan, who was a few years younger than him but was carrying a qiē on his back, Long Er couldn't help but feel sad, "Prince! In fact...... Now we don't have much to worry about our lives, and Jin can't go back for the time being, so it's okay to be in such a corner and stand by. ”

"You and Xiao Min have a different opinion on this, I ...... Although I don't have any ambition for what to be the emperor, and along the way, I just want to get out of a way to survive, but ...... Now it seems like there is no going back. ”

Long Er smiled: "If you can't go back, you won't go back!" I wanted to gallop the grassland with the prince! ”

Sima Dan nodded: "The people of the Western Regions are too miserable, they are always on the edge of life and death, and there are often things about destroying the country and destroying the clan, since we are here, we will think of a way, and I also hope that they can at least be like the people of the Great Jin Dynasty and even Rome." ”

"Haha! Prince! You're going to have more responsibilities in this way! ”

"No way! It's earned before we kill it, see how far we can go? Now that I think about it, thanks to that time you saved me in front of the Rouran Khan, and now I sometimes wake up from that situation in my dreams! Damn it! ”

"The prince also pees his pants!"

"you! Find a wife, and I'll ask you how many times a day you pee your pants! ”

"Oops! Beside the prince, the beauties are all occupied by the prince, so it's my turn? ”

"Don't worry! This time, in addition to borrowing food, we came to Yanqi to solve the problem of the lower body of the big moon man. ”

Since Dayue City repelled Helian, there are many more single men in the city, first of all, slaves liberated from the Xiongnu, they came to vote, but many of the family children have been assigned to Helian to other tribes, most of them do not know where to go in the war, there are five or six thousand young men here, these soldiers are from Yanzhou, there are also from Zu Chong in Zhaozhou to gather the displaced people, in addition to the Shenjia soldiers from Zu Chong, and more like Murong Ming to submit to the Xiongnu, if these people do not form a family, it is difficult to settle down in Dayue City.

There are many men and girls in all countries in the Western Regions, and because of the war, men's lifespans are much shorter than women's.

But Otsuki City's population is limited, and even if more men die, there are not so many women who can meet the needs of so many men.

How do you make so many young and strong men settle down?

"The way of a saint lies in straightening out the people's feelings, and the people's feelings are actually the people's needs and desires", Zhuge Xiaomin said, but Sima Dan didn't know what she could do until he heard this crazy move.

Is this also the way of a saint?

******

A few days later, Xiao Min in the palace of Yanqi made a list of kings, announcing that in order to compensate the families of the soldiers who died in the war with Dayue City, it was decided to distribute horses to all ** and their daughters over the age of twelve.

It was only given to women because the Otsuki Army received an order from the Queen of Otsuki Castle.

On the day the cloth was distributed, a tent was erected outside the city, and thousands of women walked here from the city to line up.

The Otsuki army then surrounded the women.

"Each person can only drag one woman with his left hand, and if I see someone pulling a woman or holding a weapon with his right hand, the right hand will be cut off!"

"You have a month, if my soldiers hear that you have abused and beaten your wife within a month, they will be punished according to the law of the big month!"

Xiao Min was even more majestic in the army than Sima Dan, and when she said this, the whole army was solemn and did not dare to make a sound.

Xiao Min said to the frightened Yanqi women: "Men marry women, the customs are the same in all countries, since you have lost the man in your family, who can protect you in the future?" As long as you become the wives of the soldiers of the Great Moon, the Great Moon City will give you the status of citizens, and you are no longer Yanqi, let alone occupied, but like everyone in the Great Moon City, your children will also be protected in the same way! ”

Sima Dan and Long Er were also on the side, sounding funny, this kind of trick of snatching relatives can only be designed by Xiao Min like this.

Generous!

The place where the greenhouse is located is one of the venues of the battle between Yanqi and Dayue that day, and the grass and trees on the ground have long been trampled into mud by the horses' hooves, and they have not had time to regrow for a while, and it is close to winter, and it is even more desolate.

There was a boom, and suddenly there was thunder in the sky.

A dark cloud suddenly turned the neighborhood black, and the rain poured down in the blink of an eye.

"With the sound of the drum, you will start to search for relatives, and when the drum is over, whoever you are holding in your left hand will be your wife, this is the arrangement of God, and it is also destined in the previous life, and it must not go against the will of God!"

"Prepare ......!"

"Ahh "Hey" screamed one after another, coming out in the frightened and helpless group of women, they faced the Jin soldiers who surrounded them like wolves and tigers, and they were all frightened, and they all hugged each other, afraid that they would accidentally eat these "**".

"Remember! If you injure any woman, you will be disqualified! Military orders are like mountains, so do it yourself! ”

"Drums up!"
