Listening to Liu Chuang’s question, Wei Ye also smiled lightly, raised his hand, and drew half a circle and said, "I just arrived at the precious land, just walking on horseback and watching flowers, so I don’t have any profound insights. In my opinion, the climate in Liangzhou is cold and suitable for herds and not for farming; it is located in Hexi, and it is connected to the border areas, and it is suitable for business rather than for scholars; the Qiang chaos arose, and the Hu transformation is getting deeper, and it is suitable for martial arts rather than for scholars."

The so-called "benefiting herds and not farming" is suitable for Liangzhou, with dry climate and sparse precipitation. The traditional agricultural farming and production model 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 occurrence of Qiang chaos in Liangzhou.

It is better to understand that Liangzhou is a place where east-west meets on the Silk Road, and with foreign merchants and goods, there are also foreign religions and theories. If it were the Tang and Song dynasties that had become a definite example, such an impact was not a big deal, and the knowledge that could not become a stepping stone in the world of fame and fortune was not serious, and naturally there was no threat. However, in Liangzhou, a special border state, Confucianism had its origins and wealthy families started their own business with military merits, so the competitiveness of Confucianism here would be very sad.

It is precisely because of the economy here that it is suitable for business and herdsmen, but not for scholars and agriculture. The traditional civil servants of the Han Dynasty can basically be said to have no development ground. Taking Dong Zhuo's future entry into Beijing as an example, this warlord group, which could be called a behemoth for a time, was actually all military. Compared with the strong Confucian famous ecclesiastical color of Central Plains warlords such as the Yuan family and the Cao family, it can be called rough and unliterate, and has no basic political overall concept. Since Dong Zhuo himself, he has a separatist and peaceful spirit.

This is why martial arts are not suitable for Confucianism. However, it is a killing knife, but there is no hand holding the knife, and in the end it will kill yourself completely.

Listening to this argument, Liu Chuang thought for a moment, nodded slightly and said, "These three are suitable and three are not suitable. It is said thoroughly, but the customs here have always been like this, so it is not easy to force it."

As he said it was not easy to force, 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 must force it. Haven't you children from aristocratic families always have the courage and demeanor to face difficulties!"

However, Wei Ye did not take Liu Chuang's words and directly raised his own question: "What I see today is that the local people are tough and often make associations?"

Liu Chuang's eyes lit up when he heard Wei Ye's question.

Whether it is the Ranger or the priests who are gradually spreading in Hexi, in general, they can be considered as associations. If you dig deeper, you can use the old examples of Gongsun Hong killing Guo Jie and then lead to the capital.

The most wonderful thing is that compared to the county magistrate, the military officers of the Sili School of Justice, who were also only 600 stones, were engaged in the capital, but they were the perfect Beijing officials. There were channels to let this news spread to some of the top officials.

Liu Chuang thought about this and his mood became better. Looking at Wei Chengshi, who was a little frivolous in front of him, he felt much more pleasing to him. He pretended to ponder for a moment, and then said: "After many times, I have a little understanding of local customs, but some tips are on hand. Can Wei Chengshi hear about it?"

Wei Ye raised his eyebrows and replied carelessly: "What I want."

After getting Wei Ye's approval, Liu Chuang stood up, went to the desk to draw a roll of bamboo slips, and held them to Wei Ye with both hands. Wei Ye took the bamboo slips seriously, and then talked to the county magistrate Liu indifferently before saying goodbye.

After leaving the county court official house, Wei Ye saw Sima Ling at the front door of the county court, staring at the willow tree carefully, and wanted to approach, but he seemed a little afraid.

Wei Ye smiled lightly, walked forward, put her shoulder and dragged the person into the donkey cart. After waiting on the cart, he asked, "How do you feel about that strange tree?"

"Not very good." Sima Ling said with a little nasal voice, "Uncle, can that tree be the grandma of the tree demon in the Age Ghost Story, right? Why do I feel like there is a monster in the tree that is about to run out at all times?"

"If it were a real tree demon grandma, I'm afraid that this Black Water City has already become a ghost city, so how could there be so many living people?" Wei Ye rubbed his little oil bottle's head to comfort him, but he sighed: "The body of the golden essence transformed into shape really has such wild prejudice instinct in the perception of danger. Compared with the two, I know what it is."

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

"What a mess? Where can there be so many legends of white snakes in the world?" Wei Ye waved his hand, took out the bamboo slip terminal, entered a search character, but called out a document, and read it softly: "...Sakistan in Persia still retains the ancient Zoroastrian temple, including the Zoroastrian monks who guarded the immortal fire altar. The monks who guarded the fire altar would mask their faces with gauze. They clamped the small pieces of red willow wood with silver pliers and threw them into the fire."

After reading this passage, Wei Ye explained: "This is a Persian Zoroastrian ritual recorded by ancient Arab travel writers. In the doctrine of Zoroastrianism, that is, Zoroastrianism, there are two kinds of trees with sacred meanings, one is a pomegranate branch, and the other is a tamari, which is the branches of red willow. In the ancient Persian scripture "Avesta", the main gods and relatives of Zoroastrianism will hold holy branches called "Balsam Branch". Among them, the pomegranate branch is called "Balsam Branch of Life", while the branches of Target are called "Balsam Branch of Light".

Speaking of this, Wei Ye lowered his head and looked at Sima Ling: "Do you understand if you say this?"

Sima Ling looked back very cooperatively, and there was no good student's self-consciousness when he asked questions after the teacher's lecture: "What uncle said is super difficult to understand, just like a heavenly book, and I don't understand at all."

Wei Ye quietly raised his hand, pressed his forehead, and then explained as simply as possible: "The red willow in the county court contains a strong fire aura in the body, and there is also a strange heretic divine power coexisting with the fire aura. When it comes to the Red Willow, it is also regarded by the Zoroastrians as Balsam. Who is the holy tree of the tree of Light, is it obvious who is the mastermind behind the scenes."
