Listening to Liu Chuang's question, Wei Ye also smiled lightly, raised his hand, and said in a half circle: "When I first arrived in your land, I just walked around to see the flowers, how can I have any profound insights." In my opinion, the land of Liangzhou has a cold climate, which is suitable for animal husbandry and not for agriculture; it is located in Hexi, which is connected to the border area, and is suitable for merchants and scholars; Qiang is chaotic, and Hu is getting deeper, and it is suitable for military force and Confucianism. ”

The so-called suitable for animal husbandry is not suitable for farming, the Liangzhou area, the climate is dry, precipitation is scarce, and the traditional agricultural production mode of the Han family has no absolute advantage over the herdsmen's animal husbandry. This can be said to be the key to the frequent chaos in Liangzhou.

It is better to understand that Liangzhou, as the intersection of the east and west of the Silk Road, came with exotic goods and foreign religions and theories. If it was during the Tang and Song dynasties, Confucianism had become a rule, such an impact would not be a big deal, and it would not be a serious study that could not become a stepping stone to Vanity Fair, and naturally it would not be a serious knowledge, and naturally it would not be a threat. However, in Liangzhou, a special border state, Confucianism is not flourishing for a reason, and the wealthy families all started with military merits, so the competitiveness of Confucianism here is also very sad.

It is precisely because the economy of this place is suitable for business and animal husbandry, but not for scholars and farmers, that the traditional civil and official forces of the Han Dynasty can basically be said to have no soil for development. Taking Dong Zhuo's entry into Beijing in the future as an example, this warlord group, which can be called a behemoth for a while, is actually all martial artists, and compared with the strong Confucian and religious colors of the Central Plains warlords such as the Yuan family and the Cao family, it can be called rude and unliterate, and there is no basic concept of the overall political situation. Since Dong Zhuo himself, he has a small family spirit of secession and peace.

This is Yiwu is not suitable for Confucianism, it can be a knife for killing, but there is no hand to hold the knife, and in the end, he played himself to death completely.

Listening to this, Liu Chuang pondered for a moment, nodded slightly, and said: "These three should be three unsuitable, and it is also thorough, but the customs here have always been like this, and it is not easy to force them." ”

said that it was not good to force it, but Liu Chuang stared at Wei Ye's face with all his attention, and kept calling in his heart: "If you don't want to force it, you children of the family have always had the courage and bearing to face difficulties!"

However, Wei Ye didn't pick up Liu Chuang's words, and directly asked his own question: "What you see today, it seems that the local people are fierce and often form associations?"

Liu Chuang listened to Wei Ye's question, and his eyes couldn't help but light up.

Whether it is the rangers or the parishioners who are gradually spreading in Hexi, from a general point of view, they can be counted in the association, and if they dig deeper, they can apply the old example of Gongsun Hong's punishment of Guo Xie and stab them to the capital.

The best thing is that compared to the county order, Cao Cao, who is also only 600 stones, is an out-and-out Beijing official, and some channels let this news spread to some big people in the upper echelons.

Thinking like this, Liu Chuang's mood couldn't help but get better, and looking at Wei Zheng, who was a little frivolous in front of him, he also felt a lot more pleasing to the eye. He pretended to be silent for a moment, and then said: "When I have been in office for a long time, this official has a little understanding of local customs, but there are some reports on hand, can Wei Zhi hear about them?"

Wei Ye raised his eyebrows and replied grinningly, "Fix what I want." ”

With Wei Ye's approval, Liu Chuang stood up, went to the desk and pulled a roll of bamboo slips, and held it to Wei Ye with both hands. Wei Ye Zhengse took the bamboo slip, and chatted with this Liu County Commander without being salty and indifferent, before he said goodbye.

Out of the county court's official residence, Wei Ye saw Sima Ling at the front door of the county court, staring at the tamarix carefully, wanting to get closer, but he looked a little jealous.

Wei Ye smiled lightly, stepped forward, grabbed her shoulders and dragged the person into the donkey cart, and when he got into the cart, he asked, "How do you feel about that strange tree?"

"Not so good. Sima Ling said in a muffled voice, "Uncle, that tree can't be the dryad grandmother in A Chinese Ghost Story, right? Why do I think there is some monster in that tree that is about to run out all the time?"

"If it's really Grandma Dryad, I'm afraid that this Blackwater City has already become a ghost town, how can there be so many living people?" Wei Ye rubbed the head of his small oil bottle, which was appeased, but he sighed with emotion: "The body of the golden essence transformation form really has such a wild precognitive instinct in the perception of danger. Compare the two, your uncle and I know what it is. ”

Hearing Wei Ye say this, Sima Ling immediately became interested, and his eyes flashed over: "What? Could it be that there is a big monster sealed under that strange tree? Uncle, did you say that it was because of a misunderstanding that the demon man was sealed by his girlfriend, or was it a demon girl who was suppressed by the negative man in collusion with the monk?"

"What a mess, where are there so many white snakes in the world!" Wei Ye waved his hand, took out the bamboo slip terminal, and entered a search character, but he called up a piece of document and read it softly: "...... Sakistan in Persia still retains the ancient Zoroastrian mosques, including the fire altar that the Zoroastrian monks kept in charge of. The monks who guard the fire altar will mask their faces with light veils, and they will pick up small pieces of red willow wood with silver tongs and throw them into the fire. ”

After reading this passage, Wei Ye explained: "This is a Persian Zoroastrian ritual recorded by ancient Arab travel writers. In Zoroastrianism, also known as Zoroastrianism, there are two kinds of trees that have sacred meanings, one is the pomegranate branch and the other is the tamarix, which is the branch of the red willow. In the ancient Persian scripture Avesta, the presiding gods of Zoroastrianism and their dependents hold branches of sacred trees called 'Branches of Balsam'. Among them, the pomegranate branch is called 'balsam'. The branch of life', while the branch of Tamarix is called 'Balsam. Branches of Light'. ”

Speaking of this, Wei Ye lowered his head and looked at Sima Ling: "So, do you understand?"

Sima Ling looked back very cooperatively, and there was no consciousness of a good student to draw inferences when asking questions after the teacher's lecture: "What my uncle said is super difficult to understand, it's like a book from heaven, I don't understand it at all." ”

Wei Ye silently raised his hand, pressed his forehead, and then explained as simply as possible: "That red willow in the county court, the body of the tree contains an extremely strong fire qi, and there is also a different kind of external Dao divine power and flame qi symbiotic. In addition, the red willow is also regarded as balsam by the Zoroastrians. The sacred tree of the Tree of Light, who is behind the scenes, is also very obvious. ”

Speaking of this, the immortal warlock frowned and concluded: "It seems that the pool of water in this place in Hexi is not only the Liangzhou warlords and Qiang Chaos, it is much deeper than I thought before. ”
