Chapter 140 The place where my generation is doing today was once the land that our ancestors stepped out of with iron horses

Don't lose eight miles.

In the Yuan Dynasty, this place was the territory of the Great Yuan, and the Yuan Shun Emperor Tuhuan Timur was born here.

During the period of the Great Mongolia, Changchun Zhenren Mound traveled thousands of miles to the west, passed by this place, there are many descriptions of this place, there are Confucianism and Taoism here, and Buddhism is prosperous.

Now......

Many heavenly warriors collected taxes at the gates of the city.

After Timur conquered the Western Chagatai Khanate, he gradually extended his hand into some of the connecting city-states of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, not only to engage in Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism to these city-states, but also to collect taxes on these city-states, and the merchants of the Heavenly Side did not collect taxes, and other merchants levied heavy taxes.

To a certain extent, this has intensified the contradictions among various ethnic groups.

It also laid the groundwork for the later collapse of the Timurid Empire immediately after Timur's death.

Fu Kuan and dozens of spies of the Ming Jinyi Wei Guoan Division paid the money to enter the city and blended into the city.

This city was originally very prosperous, the Yuan Dynasty was full of trade between the East and the West, Marco Polo's journey to the west also describes this place, there were even Egyptian merchants from Egypt all the way here, and now it has suffered repeated wars, not only the city wall is broken, but all industries are gradually withering.

Drinking alcohol is forbidden in the city, and a hundred operas are also prohibited, and the rare and ordinary things such as singing, dancing, feasting, and drinking have all disappeared, and the people are wrapped tightly in cloth and silk, and they rush by.

"In the Yuan Dynasty, there were many Buddhist temples here, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and it was ...... in just a few decades."

Fu Kuan led the horse to walk in the city, and couldn't help but sigh helplessly when he saw this.

He glanced at the people around him: "Let's go find an inn where you can exchange for horseshoes and stay, and then make plans." ”

They also have color eyes in the caravan, and they can deal with the Tianfang elders here, so they are a lot less difficult, but they will inevitably be discriminated against, especially in the sale of goods, and the local tax collector sees that Fu Kuan is not a Tianfang cultist, so he collects heavy taxes on them and deliberately extorts them.

Although the officials of the Yuan Dynasty were like this, their blatant discrimination against non-Heavenly Sectists had already made Fu Kuan see the flames.

"No wonder the Timurid Khanate rebelled everywhere, and its dominance of heaven and the deposition of other sects was difficult to convince the people without a hundred years of rule."

Fu Kuan said secretly in his heart.

They found an inn to live in, food is also very scarce and expensive, this place used to produce barley wheat, now not to mention wheat made of Hu cakes, not even corn, Fu Kuan's back spies, with the Ming silver dollar, in the city for a long time, and finally from the heavenly temple in the city, at three times the price from the elders, buy some humis (mare's milk) and sarilang (wild garlic) and chamagu (small radish).

Fu Kuan said: "Don't lose the food of Bali now, so expensive? ”

Although the Hui spy said that he believed in the Tianfang Sect, but the Sinicization of the Tianfang Sect, he also felt that the Tianfang Sect here, and he was incompatible with him, shook his head and sighed: "Owner, we have some to eat, fortunately, there is a lot of rain here, the people in the city can go to hunt yellow rats and green rats, and there is a big river next to this place, every year in the spring, there are migratory birds flying in, birds and beasts are flocks, they can hunt wild things, otherwise this city may not last long." ”

"Oh? Why? ”

Back to the spy said: "This Timur rule is different from my Ming Dynasty, they pay more attention to animal husbandry, grazing, do not pay attention to agriculture, and according to the practice of heaven men are inferior to women, men are not allowed to go down to the field to do farm work, women do cattle and horses, if men work in the field or violate the ban, they will be hung up and whipped, and women have to wear thick masks, now these days the ban is getting stricter and stricter, the domestic labor force is seriously insufficient, and I don't know why Timur is like this." ”

"Is it that he, the whole of the Timurid Khanate?"

"Definitely."

"He only practiced this kind of heavenly prohibition in the occupied areas, especially in places such as Persia, where the resistance was heavier, and the Ottoman Sultan, but it was the old land where he made his own fortune, there was not much protection between men and women, and men could also farm and work."

Fu Kuan snorted coldly: "This Timur's strategy of weakening the occupied area, he used the heavenly ban to bind the areas with serious resistance, but this move is afraid that this move will become more and more intense, I heard that the Tianfang elders within the Timurid Khanate are extremely powerful, he is so conniving, in the future, the sky will be great, and the Khan will be great?" ”

The crowd had to smile bitterly.

Fu Kuan looked at some mare's milk on the table, as well as the Sa Riliang Chamagu, and sighed: "I can't eat wild garlic and small radish alone, when I entered the city, I saw some wild onions and grass on the small cliff by the river outside the city, let's go and pick some grass grains by ourselves, and mix these to cook a pot." ”

That time, the spy waved his hands wildly: "Boss, no." ”

"There is a curfew in this city, and it is forbidden to enter and leave the city at night, and it is necessary to pay taxes when food is brought in outside the city, and I have heard that the tax collectors here are Samarkands, and they despise the people of Beshbali, so they intend to impose heavy taxes on the city, and they also discriminate against merchants and travelers, and want to abandon the city."

Fu Kuan said: "This is a mistake, it is not the tax collector here who does it." ”

"This Timur weak people's policy, don't lose Bali is not a small city-state, this Tang Dynasty is where my Tang Dynasty Beiting Protectorate is located, at that time it was already a trade route, the Great Yuan is also a business travel, Timur is worried that the trade route here is too prosperous will be mixed into the fine work, and the merchants have no national borders, traitors abound, my Ming Royal Bank has a wide range of business over the years, a large number of gold, silver, goods, all purchased by the Ming Dynasty, he Timur Khanate has not been pacified, can only suspend business exchanges, otherwise the more prosperous the business travel, The deeper their Timurid Khanate was controlled by our Ming Dynasty, the more gold and silver in the country were lost. ”

Fu Kuan sighed: "Timur is worthy of being a hero, outsiders only see him with strict orders from heaven, and only after careful study can they know that he is conspiring." ”

His subordinates said: "My lord, my Ming Dynasty is now defending the north and attacking the south, and there will definitely be Ming caravans coming and going here in the future, do you want to leave a team of people to do business here for a long time?" ”

Fu Kuan's eyes flickered, and said: "Leave a few guys who know how to heal, open a medical hall here, I entered the city today, and found that the city lord here has killed all the monks who will be healed, and the Buddhist temple has also been changed to Tianfang Temple, but the elders of Tianfang do not know how to heal, and the medical craftsman is very rare, you are waiting here not only to heal people, but also to heal livestock, and be ready to take root for a long time, and then meet you when I come back from Samarkand." ”

At this time, another attendant came in with a large bag of pistachios (figs) wrapped in a troll, and said excitedly: "Boss, look, I asked the innkeeper for some pistachios, which are still fresh and can be eaten with nuts." ”

Fu Kuan snorted.

He took a deep breath and said: "Your guys who stayed, find a way to teach the common people to grow grain here, there were a large number of military tun fields here in the Tang Dynasty, and there were countless fertile fields outside the city in the Yuan Dynasty, which were turned into pastures by Timur. ”

Fu Kuan deeply felt that Timur's politics were ruthless.

He deliberately made the cities with weak control in Beshbali deserted and dilapidated, and the common people and merchants concentrated in Samarkand, which was very vicious, and would make these ancient cities gradually deserted.

The attendant said: "Owner, in the mountains outside the city, there are many pistachio trees, wild apricot trees, and wild apple-bearing trees, I think we will go to the city tomorrow to pick some fruits to satisfy the famine, the people of this city have not eaten corn and wheat for a long time." ”

"Where's the tea?"

Fu Kuan asked.

"Don't talk about tea, we are the third Han caravan this year, only the elders of Tianfang can buy tea to eat in the city, I asked the merchants here, they don't know that tea can be burned into tea soup to drink, only know that tea is put in the mouth and chewed and eaten."

During the Great Yuan period, there were many ways to eat tea.

One of them is to put the tea leaves in the mouth and chew and eat, which is mostly popular in the north and south of the desert.

Fu Kuan took a deep breath and said: "Tomorrow I will go out of the city to pick wild fruits in the mountains, and I will also look for tobacco, Lord Zhu of the National Security Division said that wild persimmons are small apples, which are native to the Western Regions like tobacco. ”

"Whoa!"

"The place where our generation sits today was once the land where our ancestors rode out of iron......"

"Don't throw it into our hands!"
