The barbecue ended happily, and everyone ate and drank to their heart's content.

Liu Zhang sent a drone to reconnoiter at night and found several Qiang people nearby.

These people are quite clever and arrange for a few people to scout a few nearby villages.

They went back to inform the Qiang tribe so that more people could come and grab things.

They were dressed in thick animal skins, and they wore their heads.

They have strange symbols painted on their faces, which are supposed to be symbols of the tribe's faith.

Most of them were armed with crude bronze weapons, and they did not startle the snakes.

Liu Zhang also did not take action against them, and these Qiang people were not to be feared.

He also wanted to try to unite the surrounding ethnic groups and deal with the Xiongnu together.

Chatting with Ba Duo and Zheng Xun, I learned that the Qiang people generally only grab things and do not hurt people.

They don't take the locals either, they just want food and clothing.

Clothes can keep out the cold, food can fill the stomach, and their pursuit is simple.

The Huns were different, they had to rob not only biological materials, but also people.

They have coveted the Central Plains Dynasty for a long time, and they are waiting for an opportunity.

This is not Liu Zhang's overflowing benevolence, his pattern is bigger than others.

Unite the surrounding ethnic groups and work together to deal with the Xiongnu, who pose the greatest threat in the north.

It is also not right to say that these peoples are barbaric, they have not learned the whole set of cultures.

Each ethnic group has its own culture and beliefs, and the strength of the Qiang people has not yet reached its peak.

In the future, they will learn Chinese culture, and they will eventually be sinicized as well.

The language barrier is not a problem, just learn it slowly.

Liu Zhang did not tell Zheng Xun and Ba Duo about the discovery of the Qiang people for the time being, and the more he explained, the more troublesome it became.

They would have thought that Liu Zhang had sent someone to spy on the two villages, and it would be better for them to find out for themselves.

Liu Zhang stayed in Zhengkou Village tonight, and he slept soundly.

Early the next morning, Liu Zhang got up and washed. As long as he has free time, he keeps exercising.

Zheng Nan felt that Liu Zhang was very different from others, so he got up and went for a run after washing.

Zheng Nan knew that he exercised to make his body stronger.

It's no wonder that he was able to easily defeat the powerhouses of two villages, he does have a charming charm.

After breakfast, Li Dang led someone to send some of the supplies over.

The county also sent people to supervise and make sure that these relief materials were distributed to everyone.

Liu Zhang thought it was ridiculous, would he be greedy for this relief material?

It would be nice if those people in the government did not covet these materials in private.

I am afraid that Liu Zhang and them will embezzle disaster relief materials, and besides, he is not a greedy person.

Then let them be, Zheng Xun and Ba Duo gathered the people from the other villages.

They reported the damage to Liu Zhang in each village and distributed supplies according to the severity of the damage.

There were concerns about the uneven distribution of supplies by the government, and during this time, they suffered from earthquakes and snowstorms.

Beware of the Qiang people coming to loot supplies, and be sure to capture them alive.

It was then handed over to the government for disposal, and the Qiang people in charge of the investigation saw truckloads of supplies transported to Zhengkou Village.

Villagers from several nearby villages came to collect the supplies, and they received food and coarse cloth.

I also received a few catties of salt, and after the earthquake, the villages helped each other.

Damaged houses were repaired, and some were planning to rebuild them.

Today they received the relief supplies, and they are really happy.

The court is very concerned about them. They were very grateful to the court.

They lined up and just called the name of the head of the household.

The head of each household received the relief supplies, with some receiving more and others receiving less.

It was based on the damage to their family, and each person received some copper coins.

Let them use these copper coins to repair the house, Liu Zhang felt that the imperial court also attached great importance to disaster relief.

Depending on the situation of the disaster, the preparation of relief materials will also be different.

At least the people of this era have a little security in their lives, although they have a hard time.

They are not dissatisfied with the imperial court, they are only dissatisfied with those big families.

They are more selfish than the imperial court, and the people have not yet reached the point where they have no way to live.

Ba Duo and Zheng Xun found the Qiang people, and the villagers quietly approached the Qiang people.

took advantage of their unpreparedness, captured them alive, and then brought them to Liu Zhang.

Several nearby villages will be wary of the Qiang people coming to steal things again, and the Qiang people in charge of reconnaissance are not very lucky.

They captured five Qiang, all five of whom were of small stature.

But they are fast, they are also smarter, and they wear the clothes of the natives.

They will speak local if anyone asks.

The Qiang people communicated with them in the local dialect so as not to arouse suspicion among the locals.

Ba Duo and Zheng Xun saw that they were not locals, and the Qiang people had to figure out the situation here.

When these men return, they will report back to their chief.

Many Qiang people would come to rob, and five Qiang people were tied behind their backs with their hands.

They were still struggling, and the two tribes escorted them to Liu Zhang.

"If you want to know more about the Qiang people, just ask. Even if you kill them, you won't be responsible. ”

These Qiang people are hateful thieves, and when they are caught, they ask some questions.

Either kill them or throw them near the territory of the Qiang.

"What do you usually do with catching them?" Liu Zhang asked Ba to take them.

"Grab it and ask them some questions, if there's nothing more to ask. Beat them first and throw them back to the vicinity of the Qiang territory. ”

They didn't want to have too much hatred with the Qiang, and every time they came to grab something, it was basically at night.

The Shu and Ba tribes only taught the Qiang people a little lesson, so as not to meet the Qiang people in the future.

It was another battle of life and death, and Liu Zhang felt that they were right to do so.

Leave a way back for your own people, these peoples are very smart.

"You're doing the right thing, I'll ask them some questions later. Beat them and spared them, and threw them back to the vicinity of the Qiang territory. ”

It's not right to let their people take people back and grab things.

Liu Zhang planned to meet with the Qiang leaders and had a few words to say to them.

In order to ensure the stability of law and order in Shu County, he can also help the Qiang people solve some difficulties.

Some of the areas where the Qiang people live can grow crops, and it happens that Liu Zhang has them.

"If you want them not to come and grab things, let them be self-reliant. They still maintain a primitive way of life, and they treat looting as hunting. ”

The scientific and technological culture of each nation is very different, and it cannot be said that what they have done is wrong.

Of course, the Xiongnu were not within the scope of Liu Zhang's sympathy.

"Where are you from? What is the purpose? Tell me the truth. ”

Liu Zhang asked very simply, and asked Ba Duo and Zheng Xun to be translators.

Ba Duo translated Liu Zhang's meaning to them, and he knew that these Qiang people knew the local language.

"We came from the westernmost part of Shu County to see if there was any surplus food here. We've been short of food lately, and we're going to come and grab it later. ”

A Qiang person answered truthfully, and if they didn't tell, they could guess.

If they don't cooperate, they will be beaten badly, and their people will come to rob them anyway.

"How many men are your leaders going to send to rob them?"

Zheng Xun translated the words to them, and the Qiang people looked at each other.

For this, they really don't know, anyway, there will be a lot of clansmen coming.

They ran away after grabbing, which was explained by the Qiang chief.

They only grab things and don't hurt people, as long as the local people don't decrease, the local people can grow more food.

They can come and grab things at any time, and if they don't die, they won't add much hatred.

Even if you rob each family's food, they will leave a part behind.

"We only grab half of the food from one family at a time and leave some for them to eat."

Ba Duo translated it to Liu Zhang, and they were telling the truth.

Each family had little food, and half of it was robbed.

The rest of the food could not be eaten for long, and they hated and helplessly these Qiang people.

They come every three months to rob it, basically in the middle of the night.

"They're like rats, they're annoying."

Zheng Nan compared these Qiang people to rats, since these Qiang people came to investigate the situation.

That means that the Qiang leaders will send people to loot the things in the village after a while, and they can easily receive some relief materials.

I can't let them snatch it again, now that I know they'll be tempted.

Several villages will strengthen their precautions and wait for Liu Zhang to finish asking.

I asked them some questions, and some things were half-truthed.

Liu Zhang analyzed the truth of their words and felt that these Qiang people were quite smart.

They are afraid of being beaten and can only tell some truths and falsehoods.

After asking for a long time, the next thing they said was that the value of the information was not important.

"Send a few men to send them to the vicinity of the Qiang territory, and let their people bring them back. Let them send a message to the leaders of the Qiang, and I will see their leaders. ”

They felt that Liu Zhang's move was very dangerous, and the Qiang leaders would not come here.

Liu Zhang must have wanted to negotiate with the Qiang leader, probably hoping that the Qiang leader would not continue to rob him.
