When Zheng Huan and Fan Yuntong set off from the capital, the pedestrians (messengers) of the Liugongzi Mansion who fought in the front war took the lead in setting off.

When the envoy arrived at Hu'an Mountain, Uncle Yu was absent-mindedly received, and sent him into the hall to summon his subordinates to discuss.

Uncle Gu said: "This time Doctor Zheng Huan is coming, is it really a tribute?"

Xiangshan said: "One is to collect old debts, the second is to raise new prestige, and the third is to be strong." ”

Ruo Chunpei said: "Doctor Xiang's words are exactly this principle. After the defeat of Yanshui, Yushui became a key battlefield, and from the theory of potential, Chu was strong and weak, and Yushui could be lost at any time. As soon as the water is lost, the Chu army can go down to the Danfu water, and the soldiers will be directed at the capital; if the capital is lost, the head and tail of our country will not be able to care for each other. Therefore, the king attaches great importance to Danfu water. ”

He obeyed his argument and said, "Don't be lazy. ”

Tho Huai said: "Yi Jun, there is one more thing: there is a must-have name in the list of tributes issued by the citrus capital, and there is Tianqi God Tea. Since more than 20 years ago, more than 10 people died in order to collect divine tea, so Xianyi Jun ordered that he would never collect divine tea again, how to handle it?"

Xiangshan said: "Xianyi Jun did not order that the divine tea would not be picked again, but that if there was no clear decree of Jiangzhou, the divine tea could not be picked. In my opinion, Zheng Huan came here this time to show his authority, and if he didn't do it, he would think that our department was unwilling to work hard. ”

Many people said: "Doctor Xiang's words are reasonable. ”

Uncle said: "It is the morning tea picking season, so Ling Tu collects Tianqi God tea." ”

Gu Menglong never spoke, and then said: "I heard that it is Fan Yuntong who came with Dr. Zheng, this person is brave and champions of the three armies, we have had a relationship when we are young, and when the time comes, I want to meet him." ”

Uncle Yu smiled: "You don't need to speak on this matter, there are already arrangements." That being the case, as long as the messenger arrives, you can follow Chunpei to Longxikou to pick up guests. ”

The order of picking the god tea was transmitted to the Tu clan at the foot of Jinba Mountain and on the bank of Danfu River, which is a sub-tribe of the Hu'an Mountain tribe in the most downstream of the bank of Danfu River, and the main village was built at the inlet of the Danfu River (later known as the Shiliang River), a tributary of Danfu River.

Originally, in the downstream dozens of miles away, there is a Mawan Cave, the number of people is very small, I don't know where it comes from, the cave owner is called Ma Dajie, the people in the cave are all fishermen and fishermen, although they are also in the territory of the Hu'an Mountain tribe, but the successive generations of Hu Anbo do not levy taxes and grains on Mawan Cave, do not adjust the samurai, that is, do not bear any obligations to Hu'an Mountain, the reason is that there is a year of flood, when Hu Anbo and one of his sons, a grandson in the same boat in the river near Mawan Cave turned over the boat, fortunately the people of Mawan Cave saved their lives, because of this son, The grandsons later became Hu'anbo, so the people of Mawandong saved the lives of three Hu'anshan leaders at one time. The people of Mawan Cave never cause trouble, and there is almost no contact with other tribes, only the necessities of life such as salt, which cannot be self-sufficient, communicate with other tribes, and live like hermits.

Hearing the order to pick tea, the leader was shocked and said, "This, this, this, how is it good?"

One of the ancient meanings of the Tu is tea. And say here Tu clan, legend is a branch of Shennong's clan, good at tea knowledge, tea planting, many years ago came to the Jinba Mountain under the winding water, heard that there is divine tea on the mountain, so settled down here, explore the divine tea, plant tea trees, then take Tu as the surname, several small tribes in the mountain belong to the Tu clan.

Tianqi Shen Tea comes from the Tianqi Peak on the top of Jinba Mountain. Tianqi Peak, towering into the clouds, means only one foot from the sky. Tianqi peak, there is a natural tea tree, its leaves are mellow and fragrant not comparable to his tea, Tu people commemorate the ancestors of Shennong's, called "Shennong tea", over time, some people refer to "Shencha", because of the name of the peak and also called "Tianqi tea", it is the best for medicinal and drinking, the tribute to the main palace and Hu'an Palace, of course, not only for drinking, but also high-grade medicinal materials.

The number of Tianqi Shen tea is extremely limited, and ordinary people have no right to drink, so the Tu people take the opportunity to pick Shen tea to collect Shen tea seeds or small tea seedlings to plant on the gentle slope under Tianqi Peak, and gradually become a tea garden, known as "Tianqi Tea Garden". However, this kind of transplanted tea, the taste is naturally inferior, but it is still the best, according to history, during the Qianlong period of later generations, it is still tribute tea. In that year, the best of Tianqi Tea Garden could not be used for the main palace of Hulongba and Hu'an Palace, and it was still necessary to go to Tianqi Peak every year to pick divine tea. However, if you want to pick divine tea, you have to pass through many dangerous places such as Savage Ditch and Monster Ridge, so every year you collect divine tea, you have to kill and wound people. The Tu people complained from generation to generation that they were the first to dedicate the divine tea to the ancestors of the Ba Zhu Palace.

Most of the people have not yet arrived, and some people have come to report to Fan Qi of the Fan tribe to ask for a meeting. Tu Jin shouted: "Is the head of the person who mentions Fan ginseng here?"

The reporter shuddered: "It seems to be empty-handed." ”

Tu said solemnly: "Then what is he going to do! There is only one solution to the enmity between my two families! I am busy with business, he is here to make some fun! Call me out!"

The old man said: "The Fan family has come several times, I think Fan Shen is sincere, why not see it? Tuguan is his uncle, and Tujin has no choice but to say: "Look what he says this time!"

When it comes to the Fan family, Tu Jin can't help but think of an old hatred.

———— fourteen years ago, the people of the Fan clan of Maoergou returned to their hometown from the capital, and took a small boat not far from the village of Jinba Mountain. At this time, it was winter, and the water level fell sharply when the weather was dry and had not been seen for many years, and a person got off the boat and went to the shore to move his muscles, and suddenly saw a stream of water coming out of a low rock crack in front of him. This person must have thought it was dragon cave water, so he wanted to go up and wash his face, so he took it and tasted it first. I didn't want to, this taste, I tasted a good thing, and I was very happy, but I lowered my voice and said, "Come on! There is salt water!" When the five people on the boat heard the shout, they hurriedly came to taste it, and they were all happy, and they cut the crack again, and the water became bigger and bigger. One person said happily: "Let's take a break and report to the owner of the village." ”

Fan Zhou, the leader of the Fan clan, was happier than his wife having a son when he heard the good news.

On the second day, Fan Zhou ordered more than 100 warriors and stone craftsmen from the headquarters to go straight down to the salt spring, insert markers, and begin to measure and design how to develop.

Just when the Fan people were in full swing, a team of boats drove up from downstream, led by the leader of the Tu clan, Tu Lun, and his eldest son, Tu Jin. Tulun was over fifty years old at the time, and he heard that the Fan family had come to grab the salt spring and came to wear it.

Tu Jin shouted on the boat: "Wolves have wolf dens, rats have rat holes, this is my Tu clan's territory, what are you here to help!

Fan Shen, the eldest son of Fan Zhou on the shore, was more than Chinese New Year's Eve years old, and shouted loudly: "The big river is facing the sky, each with half of it, this Danfu water is thousands of miles, and it is also your Tu's!"

Tu Jin shouted: "Then report to the Yi Jun, and let the Hu'an Palace decide!" Fan Shen shouted: "The rules of the Danfu River Beach, whoever sees it first! What's more, you Tu clan dare to come and compete with my nobles!"

The two do not give in, and the saber is tense. Fan Shen took the lead with an arrow, hit the head of Tulun, and instantly ignited the flames of war, and fought a big battle on the river and beach, killing several people and injuring dozens of people. Tulun's second son, Tushen, was also seriously injured.

As a result, the conflict escalated sharply. Seeing that the situation was uncontrollable and the sky was getting dark, Fan Zhou first ordered a retreat and urgently reported to Hu'an Palace.

The Tu people were angry, sharpened their swords and bows, vowed to pursue, Tu was cautious and reasonable, saw that his father and second brother were seriously injured, and ordered to return to the village and fight tomorrow.

That night, Dolon died. The deceased is the greatest, and he ordered the funeral to be done first, and then raised a large number of soldiers to level the Fan family.

Yu Yu got the news that it was in the evening, and he personally set off with the mountain general Jian Jian with a hundred warriors, and rushed to the Tu clan the next day to appease him in many ways. How many good words and how much money did the Fan family lose to calm down the situation.

Although the matter subsided, Fan and Tu Er's family have had a big grudge since then, and they have never interacted with each other.

Tu Lun's second son, Tu Shen, was injured in the back in this vicious fight, and he was healed at that time, but a year later, he died of a carbuncle on his back, and the Tu people naturally wanted to record this account on the Fan family.

Tulun has one wife and two concubines, people are prosperous, a total of six sons and three daughters, the main wife gives birth to Tu Jin, Tu Zhen, Tu Guan, one concubine gives birth to Tu Shen, one concubine gives birth to Tu Xian, Tu Liang. At this time, Tuzhen had passed away.

A group of children such as Tu Tianyun, the son of Tu Shen, Tu Seven, the son of Tu Xian, and the son of Tu Liang Tu 11 saw their relatives die at the hands of the enemy, and hated the Fan family more than the Tu Jin brothers.

By the way, a later sentence: because of the dispute, the development of salt springs was put on hold for a while. And because after the winter, as soon as the spring rain appeared, the salt spring was flooded by the river, and the war continued later, so it has not been excavated. In the Song Dynasty, some people found this salt spring again, but it was not excavated until the Qing Dynasty, and then it declined. This salt spring water, "Jisheng of the Land" volume 174 "Fuzhou • Under the Scenery" has a record: "Baimajin...... There are salt officers. "If there is a salt official, it will be rich in salt.

———— thought of this, and said secretly: "Could it be that the revenge of killing my father really has to be mediated by the Hu'an Palace, and the people of Chu can only be avenged when they are driven away?
