That big bowl of wine, only a few sips remained.

Zhang Shihe felt that he was already drunk, but not completely drunk. The body began to disobey the call, and the tongue was a little big when speaking, but the brain still had the ability to think.

"Brother...... Brother," Zhang Shihe hooked shoulders with Lu Ahuan, and said in a drunken daze, "Shuixi Tusi, this time it's going to be over...... It's over, don't you want to help ...... Help them fight. ”

Lu Ahuan became more and more sober the more he drank, and suddenly complained: "I'm not a toast, I'm just a Wumeng Mountain Tumu, how can I be willing to fight?" There is no benefit in winning the war, at most a few slaves will be robbed, and dozens of catties of grain will be grabbed. If you grab more food, you will give it to those Mu Kui, and you will be punished if you are found to be hiding it privately. But the young people in the village died, and there was a shortage of manpower for farming and grazing. Although I am not as smart as the Han Chinese, I can also calculate this account. It's not worth it, it's not worth it. ”

Zhang Shihe picked up the bowl and took another sip, put down the wine bowl without knowing the severity, smashed it with a clattering sound, and continued: "Over there in Guiyang, the soil ...... The army of toasts, most of them...... Most of them have been surrounded, and only the side of Shuixi City remains, and there are still ...... Some toast soldiers. Brother don't ...... Harm...... Afraid of toast, we are...... To be the master of the Yi people......"

Bang!

fell asleep directly on the table.

The distilled liquor brewed by the Wumeng Department is definitely above 50 degrees, and may even be 60 degrees.

No wonder Lu Ahuan said that this is his treasured wine.

asked Zhang Shihe to be dragged to rest, and Lu Tiande came over: "Ada, do you really want to help the Han people fight?" ”

Lu Ahuan was noncommittal: "Say it again." ”

Lu Tianxiang said: "Ada, I think this Han man is very good, and the Han emperor is also very good." The An family can't even beat the Han soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, these Datong troops are more powerful than the Han soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. ”

Lu Ahuan drank the rest of the wine and sighed: "Of course the Han soldiers are powerful, as long as they don't kill the Yi men and rob the Yi women, we can't fight the Han soldiers." An Bangyan was so powerful back then, and he rebelled with Yu Chongming, but he was not beheaded by the Ming official army. The current An Rupan can't be compared with An Bangyan. ”

The rebellion of Lu'an was very big, and the governor of Guizhou and the general army of Guizhou were all dead, and it was Zhu Xieyuan and Qin Liangyu who led the troops to pacify.

The rebel leader An Bangyan is not Tusi at all, but Tutongzhi after changing the land and returning to the stream, which can be regarded as Mu Kui of "Duo You Zexi" - the Ming court did not recognize it, because the state had been set up as a county at that time.

An Rupan, who was captured this time, is also not a toast, but also a native knowledge after changing the land and returning to the stream.

Anyway, most of the Zexi Mukui in the Shuixi Territory are surnamed An, and they are divided by an ancestor. Even in Usa Province on the southern border of Sichuan, the Tusi there is also surnamed An.

The leader of the Wumeng tribe is surnamed Lu, and there is no benefit to take, why do you want to fight to the death to help the surnamed An?

Lu Tiande said: "Ada, the clansmen sent to borrow grain came back and said that the Han soldiers under the mountain are very powerful. They are all wearing armor, and we don't even have enough leather armor, so we can't beat them. Ada said that An Rupan can't beat him, so let's join the Han soldiers as soon as possible. The good horses in the pasture were all taken away by An Rupan, but there were still a few sturdy stallions left, and one could be selected to be presented to the Han emperor. When the foal grows up, he will offer some good horses to make the Han emperor happy, and maybe he can even let Ada make toast. ”

Lu Ahuan nodded and said, "I must take refuge in the Han Emperor, but the clansmen are still serving as soldiers in Shuixi City, so I have to think of ways to let the clansmen come back safely." ”

……

Zhang Shihe really didn't get drunk, but he felt that he couldn't hold it anymore, and he was afraid of talking nonsense after getting drunk, so he simply pretended to be drunk and fell asleep.

He was helped to a room to rest, and lay down for a while, when there was no one in the room, before he opened his eyes to observe the situation.

It is naturally a room in good condition for entertaining guests. But he couldn't keep up with the rich people in the countryside of the Han family, and Zhang Shihe believed more and more that the Yi guide said that these Shuixi landers were all poor.

There will be no accidents in the recruitment mission.

So Zhang Shihe fell asleep peacefully, he really drank too much. slept until the next morning, a Yi person invited him to dinner, and when Zhang Shihe arrived at the restaurant, Lu Ahuan's family had been waiting for a long time.

The rice is buckwheat rice, and rice is not grown here, and sweet potatoes and corn are not introduced.

In order to entertain the guests, wild boar meat was placed on the table. They don't cook at a high level, just simply roast and then cut into slices with a knife and dip some salt and mountain condiments.

After another small talk, Zhang Shihe finally inquired clearly, Lu Ahuan's eldest son was stationed in Shuixi City at the moment, and there were 1,000 Wumeng soldiers under his command.

Zhang Shihe asked casually: "Brother, do you know bud grains and sweet potatoes?" ”

Lu Ahuan shook his head: "I haven't heard of it." ”

Zhang Shihe said: "The buds and sweet potatoes are all from overseas countries, and they can be planted in the mountains. Jiangxi, Fujian, Guangdong, Hunan, and Guangxi are mountainous, and His Majesty the Emperor ordered officials to plant sweet potatoes and buds in the mountains, feeding many people. The servants of Guangxi and the Miao people of Hunan also depend on this to survive. As long as the Datong army occupies Guizhou, the officials will bring the seeds of sweet potatoes and buds. I don't want you to do anything, I will teach you how to plant. ”

"Can you harvest a lot of grain?" Lu Ahuan asked.

Zhang Shihe said: "The harvest is better than planting buckwheat and sorghum. ”

Lu Ahuan had some longing, and even began to fantasize about what sweet potatoes and corn look like.

Zhang Shihe said again: "Brother, we are already a family, and there are some things that need to be made clear." ”

"Brother, tell me." Lu Ahuan nodded.

Zhang Shihe said: "The Datong army occupies Guizhou, and the Tusi in various places must be changed and returned to the stream. The creek system was all changed to the state and county system, and the imperial court would send civil officials to govern it. For example, the Tumu of the Wumeng Department can be retained, but the Tomu is renamed the mayor, and the elder brother will be the mayor of the Datong Imperial Court in the future. ”

"Tome, Mayor Mare, it's all right." Lu Ahuan is very happy to be able to keep his position.

Changing the land to the stream and changing it to the state and county level is already the ultimate in Shuixi.

Town-level units still have to let the Yi people be autonomous.

This is the summary of the missionary experience of the past few years, many indigenous tribes, still stuck in slave society, some even primitive society, the step is easy to pull eggs.

Zhang Shihe said: "But my brother must know that His Majesty the Emperor is not allowed to keep slaves. The slaves in the Han family were all changed to hired laborers, and no more serfs were allowed on this side of Shuixi. ”

Lu Ahuan was silent, he was not happy to release the serfs.

Serfs are like livestock, they are all the property of the family, why should the emperor say that they may have them?

Zhang Shihe asked: "Just say how many serfs are in my brother's house?" ”

Lu Ahuan replied: "There are 12 in my family. ”

The 12 serfs are jointly owned by Lu Ahuan and several sons, and some will be divided into families in the future. In addition to farming, dismantling and carrying water, serfs also helped with grazing. Among them, farming is very labor-intensive, their agricultural tools are not advanced, and all belong to the mountains, and the wide planting and thin harvest depend on the sky for food.

Zhang Shihe began to settle the account: "12 serfs, how much should they eat every day?" How much can they help with? In the future, under the rule of Emperor Datong, you will not have to serve as a conscript, nor will you be levied heavy taxes. If you become the mayor of the town, you will have more money every month, and you will only have more food and more money than before. The umun horses you raise can be sold to the government or to merchants. Ma Duo is worth a lot, what are a few serfs? The state and county civil officials will also send missionaries to help you form a peasant association, and everyone will dig aqueducts together, and dig wells if they can't dig aqueducts. When the time comes, you don't have to go far to fetch water to drink, isn't this more cost-effective than serfs? ”

"Is this an official land, or is it our own?" Lu Ahuan asked.

Zhang Shihe said with a smile: "The land will be divided, and everyone has it." His Majesty stipulated that the paddy fields should be divided into four acres per person. You are all mountainous, and you can divide many lands for each person. You can also grow tobacco leaves, which are worth more than grain, and if you sell them and buy salt, won't life be better than now? ”

"Salt is very expensive, it's hard to buy. Voted for the emperor, can the salt be cheaper? Lu Ahuan asked.

Zhang Shihe laughed: "There is a big salt field in Fushun, and if the water returns to the imperial court, the salt in Fushun can be transported over, and the goods in the mountains can be transported out." Without toast, salt prices are definitely cheaper than before. ”

The reason why Shuixi Toast often makes trouble is because it monopolizes the sales routes of Sichuan salt and Shuixi Ma. Sichuan salt is going to be transported in, and Shuixi horses are going to be sold, all of which are decided by Shuixi An's toast, and with the huge profits of salt and horses, they will naturally become strong and strong.

It's just that the low-level Yi people in Shuixi have suffered, they are exploited by toast everywhere, and many people can't even afford to eat salt.

Even a native like Lu Ahuan is reluctant to eat too much salt, and sprinkling a little bit on each meal means something.

Zhang Shihe began to talk to Lu Ahuan, about the benefits of losing toast, that they could raise the price by selling horses, and that they could reduce the price by buying salt. After some narration, Lu Ahuan felt that it was really good, if he could buy salt at a low price, what would it matter if he released the serfs?

Anyway, there are not many serfs in the Wumeng Department, and the one who really has a large number of serfs is at least Mu Kui from all walks of life.

Even the land of the Umeng tribe was nominally owned by Tusi.

Huang Mi's strategy for Shuixi's surrender strategy was to bypass the Xuanzhi envoy and Mu Kui's two-level toast, and directly talk to the lower-level Tumu. In the future, the land will be changed and returned, and it will only be necessary to cancel the consolation envoy and Mu Kui, and change the name of the soil to the mayor of the town.

Don't let the middleman make the difference, and it's also a two-level middleman!

The specific situation of ethnic minorities in the southwestern provinces is varied. In the face of different ethnic groups, different strategies must be adopted. Anyway, now it is more and more handy, unlike in the first two years, when the Jiangxi policy was completely copied according to the script, and as a result, there will always be messy problems when it is implemented.

After several days of exchanges, Lu Ahuan promised to release the serfs and also promised the policy of dividing the land. The premise is that he is the mayor of the town, he can sell horses freely, and he can buy salt at a low price.

Zhang Shihe promised that he would apply for the right to operate a salt shop for Lu Ahuan, and only he could buy salt and sell it in this town. However, the retail price of salt must be within the range set by the government, and if the salt is sold to the people at a price higher than the official designation, the monopoly of the salt shop will be withdrawn.

Can you sell salt yourself?

In the past, it was at least the power that Mu Kui had!

Lu Ahuan was overjoyed, and he asked his son and daughter, with dozens of young people, to fight with the Datong army. He also agreed to go out in person to help persuade the surrounding Tome.

When they arrived at Shuixi City, many of the children of Tumu went to the outside of the city to shout together, so that the clansmen defending the city would return to the Datong army.
