Chapter 34: The Elves in the Southwest Mountains and Forests
One per person?
One per person!
How much gold does this cost?
Not much, just two thousand pounds of gold.
Where did you get so much gold?
There is a demon monk's nest in Chengdu, which was exterminated by the children, and there are eighteen Arhat statues made of gold, and one is so heavy.
I'm the deputy marshal, that's all?
That's not, your gold is in Cangshan and Erhai Lake.
Li Si's gold medal was not cast, but the craftsmen in the army smashed it out with a hammer and a hammer with the gold materials sent by Huo Cheng.
Zhang Donghai tried to hang one around his neck, gestured and took it down again: It's too expensive for them.
Yun Chu sighed and said: I sent someone to send Jiang Chuan... There was only a little wreckage left.
Zhang Donghai was silent for a moment and said: Zhang Qiu Xiaofang has three thousand iron armor and five thousand people......
Sending this gold medal to the soldiers is to let them know that their lives are very precious, and Ben Shuai will definitely not send them to a dead end easily.
I thought Dashuai wanted to use this card to identify the corpses, too, it's made of gold, and if a person dies, anyone will take it.
Yun Chu put down the book in his hand, stood up and took a sip of tea: Give gold, I hope that the soldiers can see themselves as noble, and they will not do anything embarrassing for a few copper coins.
To Zhang Donghai, Yun Chu could only say so much, he didn't want Zhang Donghai to know that he had the intention of transforming this group of Guanzhong soldiers.
Whoever has a gold medal will not take a penny from the poor. This sentence will be conveyed to the ears of every soldier along with the gold medal.
Sending Jiang Chuan, the remains of the Tang Army in Tong Stirrup River had long been devoured by wild beasts, although Yun Chu had already expected this, and after the exact news came, his heart was still very uncomfortable.
News came from Cangshan and Erhai that Sheng Luopi now has 5,000 iron armor!
However, Yun Chu didn't care, although the army under his command seemed to be lightly armed and did not carry more heavy armor, in fact, the gunpowder brought from Chang'an was more than five times that of the usual army.
The gunpowder was sealed in a wax-soaked bamboo tube, so there was no need to worry about getting damp in the southwestern environment.
If necessary, Yun Chu was ready to use a huge amount of gunpowder to raze the heavy armor in Sheng Luopi's hand.
After reading the news brought to him by the shopkeepers, Yun Chu already had a calculation in his heart, the war is not important, the major transformation of the primitive society in the southwest and the re-establishment of the new trend of the army are the top priorities.
The life of the people in the southwest is difficult, and the status gap between men and women is not as obvious as in the Tang Dynasty.
Even in the southwest 1,400 years later, there is still a matrilineal clan society, so when this group of women who received funding from the Tang Dynasty first became rich, with the surname that women naturally want to control something, it is estimated that the men in this land have no rights at all.
It began to rain in the sky, and when the cold fog spread from the mountains, several elephants grunted twice in dissatisfaction with the thick fog.
Yun Chu saw that the blanket on the back of the baby elephant had slipped off, so he went up to cover them again, causing the baby elephant to be grateful, and kept touching Yun Chu with its soft and collapsed nose.
The flames rose in Maoluozhai, dispelling the dense fog in an instant, and the tall figure of Langyan appeared in the intermittent dense fog, and the screams of the people in the direction of the fingers were endless.
He's here to collect taxes.
All the pigs under the bamboo building were pulled away, and a few sheep were taken away, and when they saw beautiful women taking them away, it could be said that as long as they saw anything valuable, they would take it away.
Even the men in the stockade were strung with ropes and taken away.
When leaving, he also set a fire in the stockade and completely razed the stockade to the ground.
A group of women and children were left lying on their stomachs on the wet mud floor, wailing and wailing.
A rotten parchment roll that had been thrown on the edge of the bullpen suddenly unfolded automatically, and there was a girl covered with mud lying in it, she turned over from the rotten sheepskin and sat up, and said to the woman crying beside her: Your man is not a man, his own pig was snatched away and did not dare to gnaw, his daughter was carried away and did not dare to gnaw, even your cattle were taken away, they did not dare to make a sound, and finally they were driven away with a rope like a pig, and they deserved it. The woman who was already sad to death did not dare to resist the devilish Yanyan, and the wild woman in front of her, who was a little tall, also humiliated them like this, so a group of women rushed over, as if they wanted to tear this woman apart.
Who would have thought that this dirty-looking woman had a lot of strength, knocking down one with one punch, kicking another one away, and finally beating the woman who scolded her the fiercest, and the women in the village suddenly returned to reality and cried loudly again.
If you want your cattle, pigs, sheep, and grain back, shut up!
The miserable women were startled by the woman's loud voice, and immediately closed their mouths, covering even the mouth of the crying child.
Prepare water for me, I want to take a bath.
Can you really bring all our animals back?
A woman asked cautiously.
The woman sighed and said, "I'll exchange myself."
A woman looked at the dirty woman and shook her head: They don't seem to want ugly women.
The woman smiled: It will be beautiful when it is washed.
The women were suspicious and brought a clay pot, supported it with three stones, filled it with spring water, and pulled out some torches from the burning bamboo building and put them in the clay pot
When the water was warm, the woman jumped into the clay pot.
After pouring out the dirty water full of mud, replacing it with new water, and heating it, the woman jumped into the vat again to take a bath, and when she stretched out her head buried in the water, the women of Maoluozhai were stunned, this woman was even more beautiful than the moon god, as long as she was offered to the king of the rocks, she would definitely be able to get back all the cattle and food in the village, and maybe the worthless men would also be returned.
So the women quickly poured out some of the blackened water, and filled it with new water again to heat, and this time, the woman's bathing speed slowed down, and the long black hair was on the edge of the clay pot, and the three hairy women carefully rubbed her hair with soap horns.
They had never seen a woman with skin as white as snow, nor had they ever seen a woman with eyebrows and eyes more beautiful than flowers, nor had they ever seen a woman with such red lips, and her eyes were like stars in the night, just looking at her and smiling, even her body that had just been wet and cold by the rain became warm.
The moment this woman took a bath four times and came out of the clay pot, the women of Maoluozhai fell prostrate on the ground one after another, and they didn't dare to peek again, they felt that they had met the real moon god today.
There was a beautiful tie-dye dress in the woman's rotten sheepskin roll, although this dress was not as silky as silk, and not as gorgeous as Zhuangjin, but when she put on this dress and put on a pair of blue indigo light shoes, the women in the Maoluo village began to bow, hoping that the moon god could bring back their livestock and food.
After the woman had cleaned the dirt hidden in the nails with thatch, she stretched out her white hands, carefully took a look, and then said to the women with satisfaction: Carry me to meet the king of the rocks.
Yun Jin watched Langyan return with a full load, and there was no smile on his face, but he sighed and said to Di Guangsi: Their endurance is much stronger than I expected.
Di Guangsi said: Don't use the temperament of a few of us to measure the people of the world.
Yun Jin said: They knew that they would suffer countless hardships and might die if they came back with Langyan, but they still didn't choose to resist, but this Maoluozhai was still the farthest tribe from Zhuti City among the seventeen tribes.
Wen Huan shook his head and said: They resisted, but they failed many times, and many people died, and in the end they stopped resisting.
Yun Jin said: Where did you get the data?
Wen Huan said: From the local ballad, the song says that the tiger brother went to save the bear sister, was injured by the hunter, escaped back, and raised
I was injured and went to save Sister Bear, and I rescued Sister Bear, but Brother Tiger died. Sister Xiong cried all day long, and her tears flowed like a lake.
Yun Jin said: Aya said that the focus of translated works is faith, elegance, and da, and you are also a reader, so can't you translate these ballads into faith, ya, and da?
Wen Huan pouted and said: Brother Hu went to save Sister Xiong, but he couldn't save it twice, and finally put his life on the line, Sister Xiong cried all day long, crying out of a lake, not only were you not moved, but you also laughed at people for being vulgar.
Let me tell you, in the environment in which they live, it is impossible not to resist, but under the unfairness of the years, there are many people who resist, and there are many times, but unfortunately, they all failed, and in the end, it is not like Sister Bear crying out of a lake.
At this time, what they need is salvation from external forces!
Yun Jin nodded and said: Then speed up the progress, we need to meet the real exploiters as soon as possible, and only by fighting them will everything we are doing so far become meaningful.
Di Guangsi said: That's right, the people here need to be saved, not inspired to rebel......
Li Chengxiu glared at Di Guangsi and said: At this time, take away your kindness, and it is the right thing for the barbarians to sweep the white barbarians over the mountains.
