The last reported registered population of the Xibo Ni Prefecture was 84,274 a year ago, except for the 8,724 households, 20,325 immigrants, descendants of immigrants and naturalized natives directly managed by the Metropolitan Protectorate who had just been reported by Ou Yongping, the rest of the population belonged to the names of the six local county governors.

The difference between naturalized aborigines and naturalized natives is that naturalized aborigines live in the area directly controlled by the Duhufu in Xibo Ni as a household or village, pay taxes and provide labor to the Duhufu directly, learn and use Chinese characters and Chinese, accept a certain amount of Sinicization, and have higher cultivation knowledge, productivity and production enthusiasm due to the acceptance of Han people's transfer. As for the indigenous people, they are the supreme leaders of the tribes or states who are attached to the name of the Metropolitan Protectorate because they need the protection of the Zheng Army by force, and their people do not directly pay taxes and provide labor to the Metropolitan Protectorate, but only bear the endowment of the Metropolitan Protectorate through the guò tribal leaders and the king Sultan on a regular basis, and the tribal leaders and princes and nobles may begin to learn and master the Chinese language, but the ordinary people are generally low because there is no direct connection with the Metropolitan Protectorate, and the productivity and production enthusiasm are generally low.

Since the attached natives still have an absolute advantage in the total population of Xibani, and the number of ethnic minorities such as Li, Miao, Yao, and Shanha among the immigrants is more than half, the Xibo Ni Metropolitan Protectorate attaches great importance to the connection with the attached natives, and also awards the official positions of Tushen general, Tuguerrilla, and Tu garrison respectively to its leaders. Of course, in addition to balancing the internal contradictions of the immigrants, the overtures to the indigenous people were also due to economic needs, and almost all the animal skins, gold sand, and large quantities of timber were obtained through the Tujun and the Tujun through trading with the surrounding Sudanese countries, so although the Metropolitan Protectorate did not help the Tujun Governor to send troops to attack the private enemy, it would never allow the neighboring small Sudanese states to invade the territory and subjects of the Tujun.

"It is a great good for you to turn it into a great good." In the face of the two envoys of the local guerrillas, the local garrison and the other four local officials, Zhuge Maple Leaf, who took the tone, sent a bunch of silk, books, and palace fans given by Zheng Kezang, in exchange for several large pieces of dog's head gold, more than a dozen elephant tusks, a few rhino horns, tortoiseshell, plantain cloth and other tributes. "Be more faithful to the king in the future"

"It's finally over." Waiting for the envoys to retreat, Zhuge Maple Ye said to Yin Zhendong on the side. "Lord Yin is good at pulling tiger skins, but it makes the official a little uneasy, if he goes to the gang, he must not explain it."

"Lord Zhuge is not right." Yin Zhendong said with a smile. "This is not Lord Zhuge privately seeing the inner domain, but the inner domain heard that the lord came to the king's order, and they admired it, and they had to listen to the adult's instructions to treat the king, and the adult couldn't shirk it, so he appeased one or two, so how could he help him, and where was it difficult to explain."

Yin Zhendong's strong argument made Zhuge Fengye shake his head again and again: "Brother Yin is eloquent, and he can be said to be alive if he dies, and this official is ashamed of himself." ”

After laughing for a while, Zhuge Maple Ye said again: "Regarding the matter of asking the Western Fleet to help block the North Strait of Xuanyamen, Liu Xiang's reply from Lord Liu has already come, and Lord Liu has agreed, but he can only stay in Xuanyamen for ten days. ”

Yin Zhendong calculated the time, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Ten days, a little short." ”

After all, Yin Zhendong also understood that without receiving the military order from his superiors, Liu Xiang's ten-day grace period was already a great favor for Xibo Ni, so he quickly stood up: "In this way, the lower officials must supervise and urge to go down, and the loading must be completed today, and strive to leave early tomorrow morning." ”

"Lord Yin, just go and get busy," Zhuge Maple replied in understanding. "You don't have to accompany this idler."

Yin Zhendong hurried away, and Zhuge Maple Ye, who was temporarily fine, didn't feel very comfortable sitting in the stuffy room, so he changed into a green robe and left Yongbao with two guards. This is not that Zhuge Maple Ye, who has been a fourth-grade official, wants to do any kind of micro-service travel, but he wants to see the exhibition of Xibo Ni with his own eyes, although he may not have the opportunity to meet Zheng Kezhang after returning to Wuchang, but if someone asks above, he will have something to say.

Yongbao was originally built as a military fortress, so most of the early immigrants lived outside the fort. Later, because of the 66 continuous natives attack, a low wall was enclosed with a wooden fence outside Yongbao. With the passage of time and the increase in population, the low wall continued to expand outward, and changed from the original one-person-high wooden wall to a one-and-a-half-person-high concrete wall. Within this parapet wall, a third of the 3,000 other seven Han immigrants gathered. Since there are more people, all kinds of trade have also flourished, and liquor stores, cloth shops, grocery stores, grain stores, blacksmith shops, water dragon clubs and even brothels are arranged along the cross street, and the prosperity is no longer inferior to the small inland counties.

"Little Er, let's have a pot of tea." Zhuge Maple Ye walked into a wine shop with the guards, although there were wine signs, but in his spare time, he must also do some small business for people to rest, so it was not abrupt. "A few more fruits"

"Here," Xiao Er beckoned, and quickly brought a tea set and some fresh and dried fruits, nothing more than pineapples, local fruits such as longan, dried mangoes, dried bananas, and the like. "This is an herbal tea brewed with local honeysuckle and some fruits, a few old men and slow to use, if you want something, although greeting, our store's roast chicken is a must"

Zhuge Maple Leaf beckoned to Xiao Er, who was selling goods: "Little Second Brother, the roast chicken is not in a hurry, can I ask you a few questions?" ”

Saying that, Zhuge Maple Ye glanced at the guard, and immediately one of the guards took out a silver guan and threw it on the table, looking at the silver guan that was still spinning on the table, Xiao Er's eyes lit up, nodded and said: "What does this old man want to ask, the little one should know everything." ”

"When did the little second brother come to Xiboni, why did he start this business, didn't the Duhu Mansion give you a field?"

"This lord is about the master of the senior official who came two days ago, don't ask how the little one knows, our Yongbao is so big, and everything can be spread in half a day." Xiao Er responded to the surprised Zhuge and his party. "If you weren't the master of the imperial court officials, how could you ask me these questions, and your old official dialect is different from ours."

Zhuge Maple also chuckled: "What a clever little brother, that's right, can you answer these questions?" ”

Xiao Er asked rhetorically: "Then your silver, can I take it?" ”

Zhuge Maple Ye's smile became even bigger: "Why can't you take it, is my dignified master still reluctant to pay the money?" ”

"That's good at it." Xiao Er stretched out his hand and copied the silver guan into his hand and took a closer look. "It's the new silver of the imperial court."

Zhuge Maple Ye asked with some skepticism: "What, can't Xibo mud be used?" ”

"Yes, but it's worth less than the Dutchman's money." This is of course, the horse money is heavy and the treasury is flat eight coins six or seven cents to nine coins and two cents, and the silver content is more than eighty percent on average, which is far higher than the silver content of Baokang money, and the natural value is not as high as others. "We have seen a lot of horse money, Buddha head ocean, and cross money, but we have seen less cake money in the imperial court." After some explanation, Xiao Er began to answer the previous questions. "I came to Xibo Ni in the second year of Wuding, and the Duhufu also gave me a hundred acres of land, but I can't lift my shoulders and can't pick it, and I am really a little unaccustomed to digging food in the field, plus I just have no savings in my hands, unlike the big families who have slaves and maids in their hands, so I gritted my teeth and rented out the land, and opened such a shop in the city in exchange for some silver."

Most of the so-called big households in Xibo Ni are all kinds of veterans who settled on the spot when they were originally created, they have money in their hands, and the Duhufu has given a large number of wasteland and some captured native slaves, and they have become a big family after these years of operation, but they have become a big family, but people are hard to fill, and they want more money when they have money, so they try their best to expand the land in their hands, and it is a case to open up the land by themselves, and it is another case to rent land from the hands of new immigrants.

Zheng Fan's national policy is to be informal, so Zhuge Maple Ye didn't care about the behavior of big households, but just arched his hand at Xiao Er: "It's disrespectful, it turns out that Your Excellency is still the boss, so how is the business of such a store?" ”

"It's still going to last." Xiao Er, who is both a boss and an employee, responded with a smile. "There are about 1,000 households in the city, and there are always some people who don't want to eat at home to come and sit down, and the roast chicken in the small shop is also a must, and there are always people who come to buy some to go home every day."

Zhuge Maple Ye nodded: "Since the business is good, why don't you buy a few slaves and maids to come back to help." ”

"I bought one, but it's very coarse," Xiao Er said with a wry smile. "Serving tea and delivering food either smashed the bowl or put the dishes on the guests, not only could not help, but on the contrary, it added to the chaos, so I could only stay in the back kitchen to help chop wood and make fire, do some rough work, and even the old lady and daughter-in-law who were still young to cook helped me."

"It's better for the natives to buy and train from a young age." Zhuge Maple Leaf commented that at this time, a guest entered the store, and Zhuge Maple Leaf said. "Don't bother the little second brother, and go and get busy, by the way, since the roast chicken is delicious, let's have one."

The shopkeeper responded and went to entertain the new guests, so Zhuge Maple Ye sat and drank tea while waiting for the roast chicken.

However, Xiao Er had just gone in to report the food, but the new guest turned to Zhuge Maple Leaf, looking at the somewhat vigilant guard, this person hesitated and asked, "This adult is surnamed Zhuge Maple Leaf?" ”

Zhuge Maple was stunned: "Do you recognize this official?" ”

"What an adult!" This person raised his body to the ground, and after getting up, he said in surprise. "My lord, I'm Xian Kang Xian Tongyu, my lord, don't remember me, I was the squad leader of the first team back then, and I followed Lord Hetian to fight the natives."

"It's you!" Zhuge Maple Leaf remembered, and it was also the reason why this surname was relatively rare. "It's really you." Zhuge Maple stood up. "I didn't expect to meet an old friend."

Since the two sides have intersected, Xian Tongyu invited Zhuge Maple Leaf to sit in the past, but Zhuge Maple Leaf asked him to sit on his own table, after some humility, Xian Tongyu also signed to sit in front of Zhuge Maple Leaf, so the two tables and one table, Xian Tongyu's original wine and food were also served together.

The two sides pushed the cups and drank a few sips, and Zhuge Fengye asked, "Xiao Deng, life is good now." ”

"Okay, good," Xian Tong replied respectfully. "Now I also have more than ten acres of land, more than 20 slaves and maids, married a mother-in-law from Coconut City, and gave birth to a few little cubs, and my life is very good."

"I'm already a big landowner." Zhuge Maple Leaf looked very happy. "By the way, what are the main plants in the field?"
