Chapter 279: Three Requirements
Lin Bei didn't feel sorry for himself for long, because as soon as twelve o'clock passed, countless people came to pay New Year's greetings to Lin Bei.
Bian Ji, An Zhongzhi, Cui Lan, Huang Yueying, and many people in Wanghai City, as if they had made an appointment, all paid New Year's greetings to Lin Bei at this time.
On this night, the lights of Wanghai City were bright, and the atmosphere was generally described in one word: just like the New Year, Wanghai City was indeed celebrating the New Year this night.
There were no firecrackers, no fireworks, but the festive atmosphere was still very strong, the children and women danced in Wanghai City, sang songs, drank rice wine, ate delicious food, and carnivaled in the whole city, even those indigenous slaves also enjoyed once, they did not have to get up early to work for the next three days, although there was still a sergeant to supervise, but in these three days, as long as the aborigines did not go too far, the sergeant would not scold, this is the real celebration of the whole city.
Lin Bei first accepted the New Year's greetings from Bian Ji and others in the city lord's mansion, and then walked out of the city lord's mansion, went around the city, and accepted the visit of the common people, among which some bold women came forward and plucked up the courage to hug Lin Bei, so that Lin Bei enjoyed the treatment of a handful of warm nephrite in his arms, but unfortunately Lin Bei's snake scales were too thick to be felt.
At five o'clock in the morning, Lin Bei returned to the city lord's mansion and began to prepare for the first blessing of the new year, this time, Bian Ji and An Zhongzhi did not hang lanterns on Lin Bei's head, nor did they wear big red flowers, but they were covered with red cloth, and then after dawn, at the auspicious time, that is, at eight o'clock, they set off from the city lord's mansion again, and went to the sacrificial platform outside the city to pray for heaven, bless Wanghai City with good weather and rain this year, and the people are happy.
Although the people of Wanghai had a carnival last night, they were still full of energy, and followed Lin Bei to the altar of the sacrifice, and watched the process of praying for blessings throughout the whole process, when Lin Bei kowtowed to the altar. The whole city also kowtowed, and they also prayed sincerely in their hearts, hoping that Wanghai City would get better and better this year.
On this day, Lin Bei did not rest, and after praying for blessings, he still patrolled the whole city and accepted everyone's worship. On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Lin Bei set off for Linjiang City to visit the soldiers and commoners and craftsmen in Linjiang City, and on the second day of the Lunar New Year, Lin Bei went to Yanhe City again, doing the same thing, and on the third day of the Lunar New Year, Lin Bei returned to Wanghai City, this time. Lin Bei went to the wooden hut where the aboriginal slaves lived and accepted the worship of the aborigines.
Most of the natives have adapted to the current life, and the arrival of Lin Bei has also been warmly welcomed by the natives no less than the Wanghai people, although they are slaves, but they themselves do not feel that there is anything wrong with this, compared to before, they eat better and dress warmer. Had a beautiful night's sleep.
For four days in a row, Lin Bei had no time to rest. After the third year of junior high school, the festive atmosphere of Wanghai City slowly decreased, and Lin Bei slept well on the fourth day of junior high school.
After the festival, Wanghai City slowly got back on track, and Huang Yueying withdrew after carving out a coin template, and went to Riverside City with a craftsman and a drilling machine. Preparations for the construction of the bridge, the matter of the dragon god coins and the pricing of the dragon god began to be renegotiated, and the first batch of dragon god coins was issued before the Lantern Festival.
It was also at this time that Lin Bei finally remembered the envoy of the Giant Tiger Tribe, that is, the Great Wu Clan. It can be regarded as drying these three people for a few days, and at that moment, Lin Bei asked the sergeant to escort these three people back to Wanghai City, find He Ming, and let He Ming carry out Lin Bei's orders.
For this indigenous tribe who first came to surrender, Lin Bei is relatively generous, and only needs the Giant Tiger Tribe to do three things, first, the Giant Tiger Tribe sent a thousand young and strong to mine and build roads for Wanghai City, and second, to donate the money, ores, grains and other things of the Giant Tiger Tribe to Wanghai City, as for how much, it depends on how many Giant Tiger Tribes there are, anyway, Lin Bei has to ask for half, and every year in the future, the Giant Tiger Tribe will have to hand over half of the harvest, which is equivalent to the Giant Tiger Tribe has to pay tribute to the Dragon God Army every year, third, The Giant Tiger Tribe needs to pave the way for the Dragon God Army to investigate the news of the surrounding indigenous tribes, and pave the way for the Dragon God Army to start the war behind it.
As long as the Giant Tiger Tribe can do these three things, the Giant Tiger Tribe can be regarded as a vassal tribe of Wanghai City, and the Dragon God Army can give them protection at a certain time, if they can't do it, I'm sorry, then go to war.
He Ming took the order and left
In a room in the Wanghai City Post House, Da Wu was quite impatient, and he had already walked around this room dozens of times.
In the Giant Tiger Tribe, the Da Wu clan is second only to the tribal patriarch of the real power, because he has three hundred warriors in his hands, don't look at the Juhu tribe is quite few, in fact, the tribe is not peaceful, the Da Wu clan and the patriarch usually do not look very good, the Da Wu clan has always wanted to replace it, with the sudden rise of the Dragon God Army, the mighty Mekong River, breaking eight tribes in a row, the Da Wu clan and the giant tiger patriarch rarely let go of their prejudices, and had a friendly negotiation for the first time, and finally, the two unanimously decided to surrender to the Dragon God Army, and the Da Wu clan came to be the messenger, Because he is one of the few people in the Giant Tiger tribe who can speak Chinese.
The Western Han Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty have been established for more than 400 years, because the Mekong River and Yizhou are connected, so the Pufeng people are no strangers to the Han people, because the merchants of the Han people often come to the major tribes of the Pufeng tribe to trade, and buy and sell with these Han merchants.
Inferiority is naturally because they know that they are not as good as the Han people, but they hate it because the Pufeng people are in a weak position when the Han merchants trade with them, and their precious jade iron ore and other materials can be arbitrarily lowered by the Han merchants, and the price of iron ore and jade sold by the Pufeng people is incredibly low, but if you want to buy iron and jade, the price is incredibly high, so there will naturally be contradictions, but it is obvious that although the Pufeng people hate this situation, they can still only compromise.
This kind of repression for a long time, leading to a sick psychology of the Pufeng people, now the chaos and war, the displaced people, some black-hearted Han Chamber of Commerce to loot some Central Plains women to sell to the Pufeng people, can play with the Central Plains women is a very proud thing for the Pufeng people, the Pufeng people think that the Central Plains women are white and beautiful, unlike their own people, black and iron, the whiter the complexion of the Central Plains women, the higher the price, and even can reach the price of hundreds of weapons.
As the more women in the Central Plains are sold, the deeper the Pufeng people know about the Central Plains, they know that the emperor of the Central Plains is surnamed Liu, they know the big officials of the Central Plains, and they know that the Central Plains is very rich.
Hatred and red-eyedness, Pufeng people invaded Yizhou several times and gained a lot. Recently, many Pufeng tribes have even captured thousands of Han people, and the Pufeng people are not as merciful to the Han people as Lin Bei is to the natives, and the favorite thing of the Pufeng people is to abuse/kill the Han people, especially after they know that the Han people have a punishment called Ling Chi, and see the men and old people in the Han people slowly wailing and dying. Pufeng people have an unparalleled sense of pleasure, as for the Central Plains women who were taken back, needless to say, they will be raped before they die/YIN, even if they die, they will be cooked by Pufeng people, and the taste is more delicious than that of Han men.
Recently, the Dragon God Army broke through eight tribes in a row, killing more than 100,000 Pufeng people, and Wojiao thousands of miles. This kind of drastic means obviously deterred the Pufeng people, the Pufeng people shrank and did not dare to plunder Yizhou again, but the Pufeng people are not all stupid, they know that the Han people are actually quite kind to foreign races, as long as they show submission, the Han people will reward money and beauties, and may even be made a big official. And this is also the reason why the Dawu clan and the giant tiger patriarch will come to surrender, since they can't defeat the army of the Han Dynasty. Then they will surrender, and they will not feel ashamed.
The Da Wu clan interrogated a number of Central Plains women and men, and determined that this method was foolproof, and in order to show sincerity, the Da Wu clan also brought gifts from their tribe, and the Da Wu clan believed. As long as he sees the commander of the Dragon God Army and expresses his submission, the commander of the Dragon God Army will definitely treat the Giant Tiger Tribe with courtesy and reward things like those emperors. Maybe you can reward dozens of beauties, this should be called harmony, right? Yes, it is a kiss, thinking of the soft figure of the Central Plains woman, Da Wu's heart is hot.
But the development of the facts was different from what the Great Wu Clan imagined, they were arrested by the Dragon God Army, locked in a room for several days, and were not allowed to go out at all, in addition, the food sent did not know what it was, it was extremely unpalatable, and there was not even meat.
During the Chinese New Year of the Wanghai people, Da Wu Shi and his men were locked in a prison cell, eating bean dregs without oil and drinking raw water scooped up from the Mekong River.
After several days, a sergeant finally released them, re-boarded the ship, and took them to a new city, where they were still locked up, but this time it was better, Sergeant Ryujin gave him a new linen coat and gave him a cold shower, because the sergeants were worried that the adults would summon him, and if this native was too dirty, wouldn't it defile the ears and eyes of the adults?
Da Wu was already a little desperate at the moment, he vaguely felt that the style of the commander of the Dragon God Army and the emperor in the mouth of the Han people he interrogated was different, and he didn't even treat each other politely, he was even more indigenous than them.
At this time, the door of the house was pushed open, and the two sergeants stepped forward, holding Da Wu Shi roughly/violently, and then brought to a big room, where a person was sitting upright, Da Wu Shi still wanted to take a look, his leg was kicked violently by the sergeant, Da Wu Shi knelt down involuntarily, and then a few slaps on the head, and the sergeant shouted: "Do you want to die?" Don't hurry up to meet the elder of the thousand husbands. ”
What kind of officer is a thousand-commander? Although the Da Wu clan can speak Chinese, he doesn't know much about the officer system of the Han Dynasty, but the Da Wu clan understands that these dragon god troops don't pay attention to convincing people with virtue, and his identity in the giant tiger tribe is not useful.
"The envoy of the little man giant tiger tribe, the big Wu clan visits the elder Qianfu." Da Wu made a very clever move.
He Ming came here naturally under the order of Lin Bei, from the words of Lord Dragon God, He Ming knew Lord Dragon God's attitude, so he didn't even say anything to make this Da Wu clan raise his head, and naturally he didn't let him get up, with a cold voice, He Ming said the three requirements of Lord Dragon God to the Giant Tiger Tribe, and finally said: "Whether it is war or peace, you can think it carefully, otherwise when my Dragon God Army sets foot on the Giant Tiger Tribe, it will also be the moment when you are waiting for your life." ”
After Da Wu heard He Ming relay Lin Bei's words, he was stunned, because this was exactly what he imagined.
The Da Wu clan raised his head suddenly, and he didn't care about the sergeant's beating, and shouted loudly: "I want to see the emperor of your Dragon God Army, our giant tiger tribe is here to surrender, you can't do this to us."
The two sergeants pressed his head and pressed the Da Wu clan to the ground again, He Ming stood up, walked in front of the Da Wu clan, lowered his head and sneered: "What qualifications do you think you and the other Yi people have to meet Lord Dragon God?" Do you think that the swords and arrows of my Dragon God Army are unfavorable? My family has said, you can wait for you to agree, if you don't agree, then the time will be bloody Giant Tiger Tribe, you all have to die, you are all dying people, you know yourself!! Drag it off, and you think about it again. ”
The sergeant dragged the Da Wu clan down like a wolf, and the Da Wu clan shouted: "I am the envoy of the giant tiger tribe, the two armies are fighting, and if you don't kill the envoys, won't you make people laugh like this?" ”
He Ming sneered and didn't say a word, he hoped that this Da Wu clan would not agree, so that he could directly send troops to crush the Giant Tiger Tribe, and if he sent troops again, He Ming also wanted to unify the army.
Subsequently, He Ming entered the City Lord's Mansion and reported the reflection of the Da Wu clan just now to Lin Bei, Lin Bei listened, oh, and said that he understood, He Ming asked: "My lord, with the power of my Dragon God Army, why not send troops directly to sweep them away, so that you don't have to entangle with them." ”
Lin Bei said with a smile: "This is more convenient, after all, there are still a lot of indigenous people, there is no internal response, it is difficult to exterminate them all, in addition, we now need a lot of manpower to build roads, if the big Wu clan does not agree, then interrogate the place where the giant tiger tribe is located, send troops to encircle and suppress, and deter the natives, I believe that sooner or later the indigenous tribe will agree." ”
Although Lin Bei wants to catch more indigenous slaves, he really doesn't have much thought about the Giant Tiger Tribe, it doesn't matter if he agrees or not, as he said, sooner or later, there will be tribes who will surrender, if they are killed, then it's okay, the big deal is that the construction is slower, after having cement, even if it is slower, Lin Bei can accept it.
So Lin Bei didn't care about the Da Wu clan anymore, and at this time, the first Dragon God Coin was printed.
This first dragon coin was a large 100-yuan bill, the size and specifications were similar to the 100-yuan bills of later generations, but instead of pink, it was pale yellow, and all dragon god coins would be this color.
The use of steel molds makes the surface of the dragon god coin very textured, and there is a concave and convex feel to the touch, in addition to the upper and lower case of one hundred, there is also the time of the currency: January 1, 185 AD, of course, the most important thing is Lin Bei's own pattern, not the image of the legendary antler snake body, but the python body, the front is a hovering mouth, the back shakes the head and tail, because the carving is fine, so lifelike, seeing it, Lin Bei is like seeing a miniature version of himself.
"I didn't expect that one day, my image would be printed on the top of the currency." Lin Bei looked at this Dragon God Coin in a daze, with mixed feelings. (To be continued......)
