Just when Meng Shu thought that he was about to be torn apart by the tribal leaders who were full of envy and jealousy, Liu Chan spoke again: "Although this scroll is enshrined in the Meng family, it is shared by all ethnic groups in Nanzhong, and any clan needs to perform sacrifices, and the Meng family should cooperate, otherwise it will be an enemy of all tribes." ”

Hearing this, the leaders of the various clans softened their eyes slightly, and when they calmed down and thought about it, this seemed to be indeed the best choice.

The Meng family has spoken to almost all the Yimin tribes in Nanzhong, and it has a high reputation, and at the same time, his Meng family also has the most contacts with the Han people in Nanzhong, which is indeed the best choice to contact Hanyi.

And Liu Chan's arrangement is also considered, these leaders attach so much importance to these picture scrolls, not to mention that those who have the picture scrolls will have Nanzhong, at least they will gain great prestige because of this.

If you give it to a big clan with some ability, such as the Kunming clan of King Pu's piercing earth, it is inevitable that they will use the invisible strength brought by the scroll to further expand.

And if it's given to a small tribe, it can't keep it.

The Meng family is different, they seem to have a high reputation, but the Dianchi family suffered a large loss in combat power in the First World War, and he took Meng Huo and Meng Yan to Chengdu as officials, and regularly sent people to select outstanding children of the Meng family to go to the central ......

Although his Meng family has a high reputation, it is leaderless because the head of the family has been in Chengdu for a long time, and it is difficult to rebel like this time.

This move can also reflect the importance he attaches to the Yimin, and set the Meng family as a model, proving that the Yimin can also enter the central government as an official and become a big official.

Ensure the political status and demands of the Yimin, start from the four aspects of politics, people's livelihood, economy, and faith, and tie the Yimin people to themselves more firmly.

After a long time, we will finally be able to realize the vision of the Han Yi and the South and China.

Looking at the way Meng Shu looked at this picture scroll just now, he should also attach great importance to it, and he may be grateful to himself for it......

[Meng gets +10, +10, +10, +10] (55)

【……】

[Meng gets 50 favorability, Constitution +8 (additional increase in toxin resistance), knife talent +6, and trait "Weijia Siyi"]

[Weijia Siyi]: It is easier to gain the favor of foreign friends, and it is easier to make foreign enemies fearful.

Just thinking of this, the screen has begun to brush up at the bottom right of the field of vision.

Meng Shu knelt down on one knee with a more solemn posture than when he surrendered in the study a few days ago, and stroked his chest with his right hand and said: "The prince trusts me so much, my Meng family will desperately protect the sacred relics of the people for generations, and I will not regret my death." ”

Liu Chan took the scroll and handed it over with his own hands.

Meng Shu remained on his knees, raised his hands above his head respectfully, and took the scroll with a slight trembling.

Then he slowly got up and said solemnly to the leaders of the various tribes: "Everyone, from today onwards, the faith inheritance of the various tribes of the people of southwest China also has their own holy relics!" ”

"Oh——!"

Everyone couldn't help but shout excitedly, and then respectfully bowed to Meng Huo, they did not worship Meng Huo, but the picture scroll in his hand.

After the worship, the crowd felt that this was too hasty, so they asked for a grand ceremony to welcome the scroll back.

"Such a great gift requires the blood sacrifice of the head of the bravest warrior." A patriarch said suddenly.

Liu Chan frowned.

"Yes, yes, it must be the most brave and good warrior head to be worthy of such a ceremony."

"That's right."

The patriarchs of several Han clans also showed a slight look of contempt on their faces, as if they were saying that barbarians are barbarians, and they are not worthy of sitting at the same table with them after all.

However, the leaders of the various tribes did not feel anything wrong at all, nor did they feel cruelty, this was a custom that had been passed down for them for many years, and it was also a supreme honor for the warriors who were about to be beheaded.

But Liu Chan knew that if he wanted Han Yi to gradually communicate and understand, he had to change these customs of killing people at every turn.

Zhuge Liang was also prepared for this, and said with a smile at this time: "Everyone, Liang Su heard that among your clans, there is a habit of spell alliance. Now that you and I have agreed with the Han Yi to be good, Liang is willing to perform this spell alliance with the leaders and never turn our backs, okay? ”

The curse alliance is the most formal covenant among the southwestern Yi, once the alliance is formed, it will never change, if you break the alliance, you will be cursed and devastated, they firmly believe that the person who betrays the alliance will die a terrible death, and will also harm the descendants.

Hearing this, the leaders temporarily stopped discussing the blood sacrifice, and said one after another: "Zhuge military advisors don't think we are vulgar, and they are willing to form a curse alliance with us, and we can't ask for it!" ”

In their opinion, Zhuge Liang, as an angel, is willing to conclude a spell alliance with him, which is to put down his body and put them on an equal footing, and they are naturally happy and grateful.

Zhuge Liang smiled again: "Since the Han and Yi are the same friends, should the ceremony also consider the customs of both the Han and Yi sides, and it is not appropriate to act according to only one custom?" ”

"Uh...... What Zhuge Junshi said is reasonable, so I don't know how to act? ”

"The practice of blood sacrifice not only hurts the lives of the people, but also makes the people of the Han family fearful, which is not conducive to the repair of the two sides." Zhuge Liang clapped his hands, and a waiter outside brought in a wooden plate, "According to Liang's opinion, why don't you replace it with this thing?" ”

Zhuge Liang's feather fan refers to a human head pinched with noodles on a wooden plate, which has been steamed, and it is steaming at this time.

After this kind of husking, it is ground into wheat flour and finally made into fine pastry, which is naturally ordinary if it is placed in later generations, but at this time, especially in Nanzhong, which is short of food, it is definitely a luxury.

With the current situation in Nanzhong, the value of this thing is really hard to say which is higher than a human head...... But it's definitely not blasphemy.

"It's okay, just rely on Zhuge Junshi."

The chiefs of the tribes gladly agreed.

So a particularly grand painting ceremony was held in the courtyard, the ceremony was presided over by Liu Chan himself, and at the same time completed the spell alliance between the leaders of the Yimin tribes and Zhuge Liang, they all performed the most solemn etiquette in their respective clans, and Zhuge Liang gambled and formed an alliance in front of the "holy object" picture scroll.

Finally, the human head pinched with the face was sacrificed to the gods, and the ceremony was completed.

After drinking with the leaders of the tribes, it was almost dark, and everyone returned to the hall one after another to prepare for the discussion.

On the way, Liu Chan asked Zhuge Liang with a smile: "I didn't expect Uncle Zhuge to make such preparations, and this alliance with the leaders of various departments can be regarded as adding another layer of guarantee for the stability of Nanzhong." ”

Zhuge Liang said: "This move is also the inheritance of the Yimin that Liang has collected, and then he thought of it. I only hope that the southerners will return to their hearts from now on and wait with us to stop the sword soldiers forever. ”

"Does that pinched head have a name?" Liu Chan said curiously.

Zhuge Liang thought about it, and then said with a smile: "Since it is to replace the head of the barbarians, it is better to call it 'the head of the barbarians'." ”

"Steamed buns?!" Liu Chan was shocked.

Zhuge Liang was puzzled: "What, what's wrong with this name?" ”

"Uh...... No, it's very proper. Liu Chan said embarrassedly.

Good guy, is this how the steamed buns came to be?

……

After a busy day, Liu Chan only felt as if he had done a lot of things, but when he looked at it again, the business he wanted to talk about had not yet begun, and he was a little speechless.

However, the subsequent negotiations were more smooth than Liu Chan imagined.

As for the matter of redividing the four counties of Nanzhong into six counties, the leaders agreed without waiting for him to finish explaining the benefits.

They all agreed, and those Han families naturally had no objections.

In fact, the reclassification of the six counties, although it has many benefits that Liu Chan said before, there are actually disadvantages for the people of Nanzhong.

That is, after the counties become smaller, it will be much more troublesome for the counties to rebel in tandem, and it will be difficult to form such a large scale like this time, which will be more convenient for the counties to supervise and stifle the sprouts of rebellion in the cradle.

Of course, if you don't want to rebel, then this has to be good.

I thought that there would be a long time in this matter, but I didn't expect it to be so smooth after the foreshadowing.

Later, Liu Chan and Zhuge Liang discussed with them the matter of sending people to help farmers and mulberries to help various ministries carry out "economic transformation" and get rid of poverty and become rich.

The vigilance was greatly reduced, and the leaders who were in a warm relationship with Liu Chan and others did not doubt him, and they agreed as soon as they heard it.

At the same time, Liu Chan also recognized the leadership authority of the chiefs of each tribe over his tribe on behalf of the imperial court, and officially crowned the leaders of several major clans.

For example, the king of Kunming, the king of Pu, the king of Qingqiang, and the king of Huobuori, have all been officially titled.

Later, Liu Chan promised that although they would return to the Han court in the future, the court would send people to inspect every year, and they would not have to pay taxes until they were able to support themselves.

Naturally, this move won a full house, and the atmosphere of the meeting reached its climax at this time.

Liu Chan saw the opportunity to state the threat of Cao Wei's forces to the Han court, and focused on describing their bloody massacre and migration of Qiang and other foreign races, which attracted the common hatred of the leaders of all ethnic groups.

Regarding Liu Chan's proposal to send the young and strong people in the clan every year in proportion to accept the imperial court's recruitment of the Northern Expedition to resist Cao, he also agreed.

After that, the two sides talked about exchanging resources for resources, such as exchanging farm tools and seeds for ploughing cattle and war horses, and exchanging clothes and daily necessities for various tribes' dans and lacquer, and all of them went very smoothly.

The first congress of all ethnic groups in South and China was successfully concluded in a harmonious and warm atmosphere.

The chiefs of the tribes stayed in Dianchi Lake for a few days, worshipping the holy paintings every day, exchanging feelings with Liu Chan and Zhuge Liang, and then reluctantly left.

Everyone was very satisfied with this result, except for Yonghong, who was still in prison at this time, had eaten insects and wild vegetables for a long time, and was so hungry that he lost weight several times......

He and his family will also usher in their own destiny.
