"Mu Khan, the Hexi tribe, offered a hundred horses and crossed leather, fifty bags of mixed tendons, fifty bags of bird feathers, a pair of carved ones, and two tiger whips." The master of the Tongshi House had already changed to the third one, and was still shouting at the top of his lungs.
Shao Xun was speechless after hearing the name of the tribute.
The other items you offered are understandable. They are all local specialties. What's wrong with tiger whip? Look down on me? You already have the way to die.
"Will you hear that you live next to Liu Hu? Is it possible to hear the news about his subordinate?" After eliminating the boredom, Shao Xun looked at Xi Mouhan and asked.
Tuoba Shi Wingjian raised his head slightly, but there was no expression on his face.
In a harsh environment for a long time, the thirteen-year-old boy has already known to hide his emotions and will no longer be seen through at first sight.
Wang also looked at Xi Mouhan and heard what he said.
"Your Majesty's clarification." Xi Mouhan replied, "Since Liu Lugu's defeat, his troops have scattered all over the place, and most of them have turned to Liu Hu, which has made his momentum revived and he vaguely competed with our troops for the pasture."
"Where is he?" Shao Xun asked.
"It's still outside Gaoque." Xi Mouhan replied.
"Have you ever disturbed Shuofang County?" Shao Xun looked at the assistant minister Wang Feng present and asked.
"This person is quite honest. When Shuofang County was invented, everything was in trouble and the frontier was not prepared. Liu Hu did not come to disturb him." Wang Feng replied.
"But he didn't come either." Shao Xun said lightly.
"Yes." Wang Feng couldn't say anything.
"In the past, Tuoba Li was not in the Shengle League, but the Bai tribe Xianbei did not come to him. How did he do it?" Shao Xun looked at everyone and asked.
Everyone bows their heads and doesn't speak.
The Hanyu Protector King Que'er said loudly: "Your Majesty, the Xianbei of the Bai tribe was strong in the past and looked down on Tuoba Liwei. After Liwei joined forces with the tribes, he sent troops to attack them. The Bai tribe declined, and now he only has one corner of Guanzhong."
Shao Xun nodded, looked at Duke Dai again, and asked with a smile: "Shi Yijian, you are Duke Dai, how do you view this matter?"
The audience's eyes immediately gathered on Tuoba Shiyi.
Shiyijian's eyes were slightly condensed and his spine was slightly wet.
Shao Xun still looked at him with a smile, very patient.
Wang also looked at Shi Yijian. She was worried that her son would suddenly explode and say something that would make people unable to get out of Taiwan.
Wang Que'er sat calmly opposite Shi Yijian, looking at this person in a state of calmness.
In Pingcheng for the years, he had learned too much about Shi Yijian: he was ambitious but had no chance to show his performance, and was like a wild beast trapped in a cage, anxious.
"Your Majesty," said the wing key.
"No need to do this." Shao Xun smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Today we are talking about family affairs."
Shi Yijian's face suddenly became congested and reddishly.
"What Yafu said is very much." Shi Yijian's voice was a little hoarse, and he said, "Liu Hu has been a national Xu border for many years and has made outstanding contributions.
He also restrained his subordinates and did not cross Yinshan to move south, disturb Shuofang and Hexi counties, which seemed to be forgiven. Or he could write a letter to urge him to come."
"That's what you think?" Shao Xun asked.
"Yes." Tuoba Shiyijian raised his head, looked at Shao Xun, and said firmly.
Wang's hands subconsciously tightened.
Shao Xun looked at Wang Feng and asked, "Lizhi, what do you think?"
Wang Feng sighed inwardly and said, "Your Majesty, I think I should send troops to attack him."
Shao Xun looked at Xi Mouhan.
Xi Mouhan immediately said, "Your Majesty, it's time to fight!"
The two families have long had countless hatreds, and they are eager to send troops to attack and can still gain some benefits.
"Can your unit be affected by disaster this year?" Shao Xun asked.
"After some frost, the new grass was a little sparse," said Xi Mouhan.
The Sixi tribe does not farm, only grazing.
In fact, the grassland was not seriously affected because its forage grass returned to green late, so it avoided the disaster.
The most severely affected by Daiguo in this country was the semi-cultural and semi-pastoral areas, with little impact on pure nomadic areas.
However, just when we were about to get the benefits, Xi Mouhan naturally knew how to speak.
"Your troops can receive 30,000 hu of millet and wheat to relieve dangers," said Shao Xun.
"Thank you for your reward," Xi Mouhan said happily.
"This is not a reward," said Shao Xun: "You are a minister of the dynasty, and the dynasty is a vassal state of Daliang, so you are also my people. If you suffer from disaster, you should provide relief."
Si Ximuhan was a little stunned.
Relief? So fresh. In the Tuoba Liwei era, all tribes were affected by disasters, but they helped each other, which is also the significance of the existence of tribal alliances.
Later, there was some chaos and the country's power was a little weak.
In the era of Tuoba Yilu brothers, we also helped each other and had strong cohesion.
However, Yilu was indulging in his later years to enjoy himself, and his national government was abandoned, and he was eventually killed by his son. Then Tuoba Xianbei fell into long-term chaos. It would be good if they didn't fight each other, and it would be difficult to help each other.
The Yilu era was the most prosperous. In addition to the Ten surnames of Tuoba, there were more than 70 tribes of all sizes under control, and now half of them were good.
Disaster relief only exists in an era when a powerful and prestigious hero ruled. Is Emperor Liang Shao Xun the hero this hero?
Xi Mouhan was not in the world and had been taken away by a minor official. The leader of the Shiruo Department Feng Zhen came in to see him.
Shao Xun looked at Wang, and Wang nodded slightly, meaning that this tribe is relatively reliable.
"Your tribe originally lived in Ruyuan, and later moved to the south of Dongmugen Mountain, adjacent to Changsun tribe. For many years, it has been considered as a command. In the Battle of Huainan, your tribe produced 1,000 troops. In the Battle of Jingzhou, your tribe also sent 800 troops. How can I bear to see the loyal and brave people without food and clothing? You can receive 30,000 hu of relief grain." Shao Xun said.
"Thank you for your kindness and reward." Feng Zhen bowed to the ground.
"Get up." Shao Xun was too lazy to correct it, and asked again: "Do you know why Changsun Rui didn't come?"
Feng Zhen paused and looked up at Wang.
Wang waved his hand and said, "You can tell the truth."
"As for the order." Feng Zhen bowed to Wang again, and stood up and said, "Yang Zhen may have resentment after being taken away from his post. He escorted Ke Dun and Duke Dai to escape from Shengle back then. Once he left the post, he was normal to be angry."
"Someone reported that Changsun Rui had returned his old surname Baba (one of the ten surnames of Tuoba) and received the Murong envoy in private. Is this a matter?" Shao Xun asked.
Feng Zhen was silent.
"Then it's there." Shao Xun sneered and said, "I think I'm making great contributions and becoming more and more arrogant. I'm trying to point fingers at the government. What a difference between Liu Lugu? What a great thing in Yinshan, but I can't summon him again and again. Can he not ride a horse?"
Feng Zhen subconsciously looked at Wang.
Wang sighed and said, "Yang really hasn't been to court for a long time. He has been back to the tribe for a long time to recuperate. Unexpectedly, he became so distant."
Speaking of this, she looked at Shi Yijian and said, "Duke Dai can give Yang Zhen the cart and bring him to Pingcheng to comfort him.
Give more rewards to the righteousness of the king and the ministers and to save the Lord’s grace.”
Shi Yijian lowered his head and did not speak, obviously opposing silently.
"Just that's what you said." Shao Xun nodded, crossed the wing key and issued an order.
Next, I met a small tribe called Kuhe, and the only Dai Kingdom "Four Territory" from the northern part of the Mo.
*******
The night was as deep as water, and thick smoke rose.
Shao Xun wrapped a fur on Wang's body.
Wang turned around and looked at him, with more content in his eyes under the moonlight.
The leaders of the tribes were waiting far away and watched silently.
This pair of dogs and men's and women's clothing is no longer necessary, and they may feel that it is not necessary to wear it.
Shao Xun walked over and everyone saluted.
This is the basin in the middle of Yinshan Mountain. It has been reclaimed for many years. Because the climate is relatively cold, it is sown in late May, and it is also early-mature seeds that can be harvested in 90 days.
At this moment, the seedlings have grown quite a bit, but the sky has brought frost.
In the farmland, the herdsmen pulled a rope in pairs, gently brushed the saplings, and brushed away the frost and dew that fell on it.
This is a tedious task and will last until dawn.
In the gaps between the farmlands, thick smoke ignited from cow dung and firewood piles, slowly evaporated upwards. Smoke may be more effective than the former.
"June is the warmest month, but it still falls with frost." Shao Xun looked at dozens of tribal leaders and officials of the Dai Kingdom and said, "The power of heaven is unpredictable, and good fortune is not up to date. You can wait for yourself alone, and you will be hungry and full year, and you will be extremely difficult. If you really can't make it, you will come and ask for a move inward. If you don't allow it, just knock on the gate and go south, or attack each other,
It is possible to rob and kill."
After saying this, the tribe leaders' expressions changed slightly.
"I have been in power for six years, and I have been thinking about a solution every day." Shao Xun continued, "I have a plan now, so listen to it."
Shao Xun said while walking slowly.
There are three steps and five steps around the surrounding area. The soldiers are armed with helmets and armor, and are on high alert, adding a bit of murderous aura to this cold night.
The leaders of the tribes followed Shao Xun silently, without saying a word.
"The tribes north of Yinshan have always been migrating unstable, resulting in grassland disputes and uncountable casualties." Shao Xun said: "I intend to divide the grasslands and set boundary monuments, and they must not cross them without authorization. In this way, there will be fewer conflicts of clans."
"Sometimes after the disaster, if the grass is not abundant, you must move far away and live with water and grass. This is not a false statement, but there is really no way to resolve it?"
"I can open more military markets and ask the Central Plains merchants to go to the grassland merchant town to exchange for the mutual market banner. There are always places where there are supplier towns north of Yinshan."
"If you really can't farm, the court will find a way to provide relief. If you are willing to let me go, I can also send generals to the disaster-stricken troops to recruit soldiers, which is better than killing each other in civil strife."
"Of course one by one" Shao Xun stopped, turned around and looked at everyone, smiled, and said, "If I know everything, many tribal lords are going to be elected, right? I can give you the post of hereditary tribe leaders."
How did the leaders of the grassland tribe come from? It was not appointed by the Shanyu, but elected them separately.
However, some clans are strong, so they are "a tribal lord in the world", but in essence, they still need to be elected.
This custom even spread until the juncture of the Tang and Song dynasties.
After the Khitan Great He clan alliance was defeated and disintegrated by the Tang army, the remnants were reorganized and the Yao clan alliance was formed, the so-called eight Khitan tribes.
When the Yaopan League was first established, it stipulated that the election was once every three years and the Chai Ce ceremony was announced to heaven. However, in practice, the Yaoqin family was always elected as Khan in the middle and late periods, the Yelu family was always elected as Yilijin (the chief of military affairs), and the Yu Yue (the prime minister) was served by nobles from various departments.
This system has been implemented. Even if people have not changed, the rules of elections every three years exist. It was not until someone (Yelu Abaoji) no longer wanted to elect again that the system was abolished.
This is the case with the grassland, the system and culture are changing. Even like the Central Plains, they have rise and fall, that is, both the "prosperity" of rapid population growth and the "last year" of sharp decline.
Today's grassland is probably on the eve of the dynasty where several countries are standing together and slowly moving towards a unified dynasty.
But there are people who don’t want them to be unified, at least the area in the south of the Mo River cannot be unified.
As for Mobei, that was too far away and Shao Xun could not reach it.
