Chapter 250: Kidnapping, Selling!
Liu He chatted with Nawu Kangning quite warmly along the way, and unconsciously came to the core area where Lord Wuhuan lived in Shanggu.
The domed yurts here are obviously denser and larger than those on the periphery, and the horses tied to the yurts are also high-quality war horses, no longer like the outer and inferior horses, which are casually kept near the houses.
In order to show his sincerity, Liu He only took Xu Huang and Guo Jia into the yurt on that floor, Murong Ping took two thousand elite soldiers Chen Bing to Juyong County, and Tian Chou took a hundred guards to stay on the outskirts of this village-like area, accompanied by Nawu Kangning.
There was no whole row of knife and axe men in that building, standing bare-chested on both sides of the big tent in the winter, showing muscles to scare Liu He, he knew very well how powerful this young man who came to Juyong County was. If anyone thinks that this young man who has brought down the Gongsun family in the north for more than ten years is frightened, it is really blind and thinks that he has a long life.
Although Liu He only brought two entourages of Yiwen and Yiwu into the account, his momentum was not weak, and after seeing that building, he calmly waited for that building to take the initiative to salute him, and then returned the salute to that building on behalf of Liu Yu. There is still an obvious gap between the status of Liu He, the son of the dignified Taifu, Hu Ben Zhonglang.
The floor led Liu He to take a seat, Liu He was not polite, sat on the main seat with a big thorn, and also greeted the floor to sit on his right hand, beckoned Guo Jia to sit on his left hand side, and let Xu Huang stand behind him. Nalou didn't feel disgusted at all with Liu He's style of not treating himself as an outsider, but felt a little more down-to-earth in his heart.
After seeing Liu He sitting down, he said: "It is really a great blessing for the headquarters to be able to drive our clan in the midst of his busy schedule. "That building is now under the control of the guard Wuhuan Lieutenant, so it is appropriate to call himself a subordinate official.
Say that. The floor slapped his face a few times, and after a while, several Wuhuan girls with buns walked into the yurt with huge trays in their hands.
In order to show respect for Liu He, the girl who walked in front put a complete sheep's head in front of Liu He, and the girl behind her in turn gave Liu He the spirits brewed by the Wuhuan people, beef, whole chicken and other delicacies.
Liu He took a closer look at the appearance of the first woman, and found that although she was not as delicate and charming as the Central Plains woman, her facial features were also dignified and distinct, which was much more pleasing to the eye than the bald Wuhuan girls she saw on the road.
Seeing that Liu He's gaze stayed on the woman's body for a few more moments, he said with a smile: "The eldest son." This is my eldest daughter, Na Wu Mingyue, who is sixteen years old this year, and has not been taken away yet! ”
Liu He was tired for a while, thinking that this was the rhythm of trying to stuff his daughter out? Lao Tzu didn't even eat Cai Yan's sister in his mouth!
After Nawu Mingyue and the other women put down the wine and food, they did not leave the yurt, but stood behind the building, ready to serve the guests in the tent to eat and drink at any time. These Wu women had obviously received some Han etiquette teachings, so they were not very regular after entering the account, and their eyes were always lowered to the bottom. There was no sound either.
The building raised a huge silver wine bowl, saluted Liu He and said: "This bowl of wine is the official of the Taifu Lord, your body is healthy and respectful!" ”
"For the well-being of Lord Taifu!" Liu He held the bowl and poured a bowl of wine into his throat with his neck tilted.
Subsequently, Nalou toasted Liu He for various reasons. Liu He did not refuse to come, and drank five or six bowls of wine. The daughter of that building, Wu Mingyue, knelt next to Liu He's several cases and served, Liu He poured a bowl of wine for him after drinking, and from time to time cut off a piece of sheep's eye meat for Liu He and sent it to his hand. Xu Huang stood one step behind Liu He with an expressionless face. He was sure that he would pull out his knife and cut off the hands of the woman in front of him in an instant, because he couldn't see half of the murderous intention in the woman's eyes, so he didn't trigger it.
Good wine and good meat. Maiden service. If it had been left for the first two years, Liu He would have been drunk a long time ago, but now he has exercised according to the secrets taught by Wang Yue, and he has already cultivated a strong and good body, so his ability to decompose alcohol has been significantly enhanced. In addition, the set of qualitative formulas taught to him by Zhao Aier is also unique in improving people's volitional control, and can also help him resist the paralysis of alcohol.
After a few bowls of wine, the relationship between the guest and the host is much closer. Liu He said with a big tongue: "When I came to Juyong County today, I saw it with my own eyes, and I knew that the chief of Nalou managed the people of his tribe in an orderly manner, and all kinds of production were also thriving, and he deserved to be the most capable chief in the Wuhuan clan!" ”
Liu He opened his mouth and came and put a big hat on the building as "the most capable chief".
Nalou listened to Liu He's praise with a look of joy on his face, and hurriedly waved his hand and said modestly: "Childe praised it!" The people of my tribe can have a day like today, all thanks to the generosity and kindness of Lord Taifu, and all thanks to the wisdom and martial arts of the son! ”
Liu He was a little embarrassed to be returned with a "wise and martial" high hat, but fortunately he had already drunk his face, so others couldn't see that his face was hot.
"The intention of my son's coming today, my henchman Tian Zitai has already told the chief of the building a few days ago, you see that I am also here, and the wine is also drunk, and the sincerity is enough, I don't know what else the chief of the building has to say?"
Liu He no longer pretended to be with that building, and went straight to the point.
The floor put down the wine glass, motioned to all the irrelevant people in the tent to retreat, and then said: "Childe's proposal is very important, once agreed, there will be no turning back, before agreeing, I still want to hear how Childe solves the three expectations of our Wuhuan people." ”
Liu He nodded and said sincerely: "I understand very well your idea that the government wants the government to completely open up the mutual market and protect the price of the goods sold, in fact, I have a proposal that allows you to realize your wish without the mutual market!" ”
"Please also ask Childe to make it clear." The floor looked surprised.
"You set up a commercial cooperative in Juyong County, and sign a production contract with the Wuhuan School Governor's Office at the beginning of each year, agreeing on the number of horses, sheep, cattle, green crops and the east wall to be handed over at the end of the year. In return, the Captain of the Wuhuan Colonel will prepare for you the amount of food, medicinal herbs, cloth, silk, trampling, reels and all kinds of treasures within the agreed amount. In this way, you can not only book all kinds of materials from the government through the cooperatives, but also do not have to be excluded and exploited by the profiteers in the market. ”
The Wuhuan people mainly rely on animal husbandry, supplemented by hunting and farming. The Wuhuan people in Shanggu County are stronger than other counties, they began to plant crops such as Qinglu and Dongqiang, and also learned copper smelting and iron smelting, pottery and other crafts, which can be regarded as more in-depth Sinicization. Qinghua is millet seeds. That is, the millet that later generations called it, can be eaten by both humans and animals. The east wall is like a canopy grass, like a sunflower seed, also called a sand pen, matures in October every year, the plant can be used as fodder, the fruit can be squeezed for oil or edible, and can also be used as liquor.
What Liu He didn't say to Na Lou Ming was that the establishment of a commercial cooperative could also guide the Wuhuan tribe in various quantities of production, so as to avoid everyone swarming to raise cattle or horses, and greatly avoiding the risk of excess of individual products. Meantime. It can also allow ordinary herdsmen to bypass some exploitation of various strata of the Wuhuan people and get more benefits.
Regardless of the fact that the Wuhuan people are still in the process of transforming from a primitive social clan form to a class society, and they have not even had time to establish their own slave state power, but various classes, large and small, have been formed within their tribes. For example, Lou Ban and Ban Dun are at the top of the Wuhuan class, while the immediate family members of Na Lou and Na Wu belong to the aristocratic class of the Wuhuan clan.
The classes within Wuhuan are mainly divided into two categories, one is the upper class of the big and the little handsome, and the other is the tribal members of the clan, that is, the free people. In addition to these two classes, there were also a large number of slaves who had no personal freedom. The Wuhuan people have become a habit of acquiring slaves. Due to the tyranny of Wang Mang at the beginning, the Wuhuan marshal often betrayed and defected to the north, and since then they have been constantly fighting wars in the border area, plundering the Xianbei and Han people as slaves.
After listening to Liu He's proposal. A pair of sly eyes rolled a few times, and immediately said, "Childe's proposal is very good!" It's just that the lower officials want to ask, if the officials of the Wuhuan Captain's Mansion deceive the superiors and subordinates. In terms of pricing, we are secretly oppressing our people, who should we reason with? ”
"You don't have to worry about transaction supervision. In order to reflect the fairness and transparency of the transaction, the Wuhuan Commander's Mansion can hire Wuhuan people to enter the mansion to serve as officials who specialize in pricing various commercial goods, and we will also send officials to the merchant cooperatives you have formed to provide guidance. If there is unfair pricing and forced buying and selling, you can directly report and expose it to Master Taifu and Ben Gongzi, what do you think? ”
The building was surrounded by Liu He's a merchant cooperative, and he didn't realize the back door hidden in it, so he nodded and said: "If this is the case, our people will no longer have to worry about the mutual market in the future." ”
"Now, let's talk about your second hope. I understand and support you very much because you expect Han craftsmen to come and teach you some secret skills, and you expect learned gentlemen to come to you to teach your children to learn literacy. However, have you ever wondered if Han Chinese craftsmen once they pass on their skills to you, what will their apprentices and heirs rely on for food? Although you no longer live on the grass, but you still live in yurts, you eat and drink the same as before, and there are still many old and bad customs in your people, how can you let those gentlemen who regard ethics as greater than heaven be willing to teach your children? ”
was asked by Liu He, and Lou was a little stammered, he knew that Liu He said that these were the truth, and he did not intend to make things difficult for himself. "If that's what Childe says, isn't there a solution?"
Liu He said with a profound face: "If it were someone else, these two problems would not be solved at all, but here in this son, it is just a small trouble!" ”
"Please also make it clear!" The building was a little excited this time, and it was not surprising.
"My son is in charge, and you are allowed to send young men and women with ingenuity in the clan to study in the workshops of Macheng and Ningcheng to learn from the masters, but my son has one condition, that is, at least half of these apprentices selected must be those slaves in your clan!"
"Why do you want those slaves to learn their trades? There are many young people in our clan who are clever and skillful! That floor somewhat disagreed with Liu He's condition.
"If you don't agree with this article, you can also change it, that is, sell all the slaves in your clan to this son, and I will definitely give you a price that will make you blush!"
The floor weighed again and again, and still agreed to Liu He's first condition. Although selling tens of thousands of slaves in the clan to Liu He can make a lot of money, there will be no labor in the future, which is equivalent to killing chickens and eggs, so Lou will not do such a stupid thing.
Liu He wanted to let half of the slaves learn the skills of the condition, and the building probably figured out the intention, and it was estimated that Liu He wanted to buy more people's hearts in this way.
"Regarding the matter of your expectation that the Han family scholars will come to Juyong County to serve as gentlemen, I think you can take another path. When the dynasty scholar Cai Yong now founded the Youyan School in Jicheng, the old gentleman advocates that there is no class, so you might as well send the most knowledgeable and discerning young people to listen to the teachings of Master Cai, and when they return from their studies, are you still worried about the gentleman who has not taught? ”
"Can this be done?" That floor was a little bottomless.
"With the recommendation of my son, I can give you ten places to audit. After the opening of Yenching University, you can also send twenty young teenagers to study in the house, regardless of gender. By the way, I forgot to tell you that Scholar Cai will be the father-in-law of this son soon after. In addition, Yenching University was founded by Ben Gongzi, and I can recruit as many people as I want! Liu He looked at the building with a sneering expression.
"Good! In this way, after more than ten years, there will be a real bachelor in our clan, which is a far-reaching event! The building agreed.
Liu He felt proud in his heart, he would not tell that there was a kind of control called cultural control, let alone that there was a kind of strength called soft power, and if you want to influence and assimilate a nation, you don't necessarily have to use swords, guns, swords, and halberds, and you don't necessarily have to have a river of blood.
"Now, let's talk about the third hope of you Wuhuan people! I only need to tell you one thing, when my son requisitioned 5,000 Wuhuan cavalry from Yan Rou to go south with my 5,000 Han sons to fight south, in the past few years, there are more than 1,500 Han soldiers killed and wounded among these veterans, and more than 1,900 Wuhuan soldiers have been killed and wounded. In this son's army, regardless of Hu and Han, they are all commensurate with brothers, and all treatment is treated equally! ”
Liu He didn't exaggerate or conceal it in the slightest this time, everything he said was the truth, and he was not afraid that after he left, the building would send someone to inquire about the truth. (To be continued......)
