Some people just don't look back. With Zhu Rong's intercession, Gao Ding escaped the disaster and finally became honest! As the king of Yue Yi and the prefect of Yue Yi, he naturally changed into Hanfu. Not to mention
, a man relies on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle. When he puts on Hanfu, he looks like a Han general, but his hair is a little thicker!
After staying in Xangda for another half month, Fazheng had already returned to Chengdu with Wu Yi and Yan Yan. Only Zhao Yun and others were still accompanying Liu Zhang, waiting for the arrival of the Nanman leader. The Zhu Rong clan was really influential in the Nanman, and
Liu Zhang’s policies were good, and those southern barbarian leaders really came![]
After the leader of the Zhu Rong clan arrived at Zangga again, little Zhu Rong told his father what he was thinking, and the leader of the Zhu Rong clan was very happy with the matter. It is not Han Chinese tradition to present beautiful women to the supreme leader and use women to marry other tribal leaders.
Patent is also often used by barbarians. For example, the direct daughter of the Zhu Rong clan was often the wife of the barbarian king of Yinkengdong.
As for Liu Zhang being married, it is no longer a problem. Han people pay attention to three wives and four concubines, while barbarians are simpler. The more powerful a man is, the more women he has! With Liu Zhang's status, taking Xiao Zhurong as his concubine is not considered a nuisance.
.Only Meng Huo gives the leader of the Zhu Rong clan some headaches. This boy also likes Zhu Rong. With the relationship between the Meng family and the Zhu Rong clan, if Meng Huo came to propose marriage, it would be difficult to refuse!
The leader of the Zhu Rong clan directly threw this troublesome matter back to Xiao Zhurong. He told Xiao Zhurong that if he wanted to follow Liu Zhang, he must dispel Meng Huo's thoughts. Therefore, Meng Huo had been repaired by Xiao Zhurong for half a month, but
Meng Huo also had a spirit of perseverance. No matter how little Zhu Rong hit him, he would accept it with a smile. He thoroughly implemented the principle of hitting as pain, scolding as love, and kicking him when he loves deeply. What he did to Xiao Zhurong was also a little bit...
have no choice!
After all the Southern Barbarian leaders arrived, Liu Zhang called them together to discuss the ownership and development of the Southern Barbarians. However, when Liu Zhang gathered all the leaders in the meeting hall of the City Guards Mansion, he became a little depressed! These barbarian leaders watched alone.
They look good, but put together, they look like a group of savages, and they are too smelly! It's not that they don't like bathing, but the climate in the south is hot, and these leaders are very likely to have body odor. One person is fine, and there are more than thirty
Put them together and they become a poison gas bomb!
Looking at the savage people in the hall and smelling the disgusting stench, Liu Zhang felt a little dizzy, but he couldn't show his displeasure! Fortunately, he got used to the stench after smelling it! Seeing Liu Zhang's expression
, how could the leader of the Zhu Rong clan not know the reason, but Liu Zhang had become his intended son-in-law, how could this father-in-law just sit back and watch!
"Everyone, the champion has arrived, and you still don't salute!" Seeing Liu Zhang standing outside the door, the leader of the Zhu Rong clan quickly paid homage, and everyone also saluted in unison.
"Oh! You are all excused!" Liu Zhang supported Old Zhurong with a lunge and stopped everyone from continuing to bow. He smiled slightly and said: "Old Zhurong, of all of you here, you are the only one who knows me best, so I have to trouble you to introduce me!"
"The champion has his destiny, how dare I disobey him!" Old Zhu Rong pulled a big man and said: "Others just ask them to report their family name. I will introduce this one. He is Yinkengdong Barbarian King Mengjie!"
"Meng Jie?" Looking at the man in front of him with a bamboo crown and straw shoes, a white robe and soap ribbons, green eyes and yellow hair, who looked like a scholar, it was really hard for Liu Zhang to imagine that he was actually a barbarian king.
"Meng Jie meets the champion!" The scholar naturally knew the etiquette, and Meng Jie bowed and saluted, as if he were a celebrity!
"The barbarian king is exempt from courtesy!" Liu Zhang asked with a smile: "Are you Meng Huo's brother?"
"Exactly!" Meng Jie said with a smile: "My brother is naughty and has caused trouble for the champion!"
"My younger brother is very good, but he is a little arrogant. It will be better if he suffers some setbacks!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "Barbarian King, please take a seat!"
"Thank you so much, Champion!" Meng Jie sat down with a smile, his movements even more graceful and graceful.
In fact, Meng Jie was influenced by his father and preferred Han people in his heart. This is why Meng Huo became the barbarian king. Otherwise, how could his elder brother live in seclusion and his younger brother be the master of the family? In ancient times, whether they were foreigners or Han people,
, the inheritance law of the eldest son is the kingly method, unless the eldest son is really incompetent or takes the initiative to give in!
"Do you still want me to introduce them one by one?" Seeing Liu Zhang and Meng Jie finishing their meeting, Lao Zhurong glanced at everyone, showing off his leadership style.
The barbarian leaders present here did not dare to be introduced by Lao Zhurong. They stood up one by one and introduced themselves to their families. However, some of them beat their chests and stood in awe, some of them caressed their chests and bent down, and some of them bowed in nondescript ways, which made people laugh.
After listening to the self-introductions, there were indeed many acquaintances among them, such as Dong Dana, Ah Hui Nan, Jinhuan Sanjie, Yang Feng, the cave master, etc., all of whom were familiar to Liu Zhang!
"Everyone, sit down!" Liu Zhang smiled and waved his hands and said, "Come here, everyone. My idea is very simple. I want to include the Southern Barbarians into the Han Dynasty! Although you barbarian leaders hold the power of life and death for your tribe, you cannot improve your tribe.
life. You always say that the Han people look down on you, but we Han people are not fools. We can't help outsiders like you for no reason! Only if you join the Han people, become a member of the Han people, and contribute to the Han country, can you get help."
"Sir, it's not that we don't want to be Han people, it's not that we don't want to coexist peacefully with the Han people, it's just that you Han people look down on us, say we are barbarians, and say that people who are not our race must have different hearts! To be honest, if it weren't for the champion,
After taking care of Mr. Liu all these years, I will never come today!" A barbarian leader stood up with an angry face. He is one of the thirty-six cave masters. He is closest to Yizhou and has been discriminated against by the Han people.
They also suffered the most humiliation! Of course, they also had the most conflicts with the Han people!
"Don't be impatient!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "Let me tell you the truth, you can't blame the Han people for being discriminatory! Look at your image, and then look at the image of the Barbarian King Yinkengdong, you will know why the Han people are discriminating against you! You guys
You yearn for the life of the Han people, but are unwilling to learn the culture and etiquette of the Han people. If you have to be different from the Han people, you will naturally not be recognized!"
"We also want to learn the culture of the Han people, but there are no literate people among the barbarians!" Yang Feng, among the cave masters of Thirty-six Cave, is known for his wisdom and is very knowledgeable about current affairs. He also wanted to learn the culture of the Han people, but unfortunately
Didn't learn enough.
"That's why I invited you here!" Liu Zhang said: "Everyone knows that the Han Dynasty is in chaos now, and maybe some people still want to fish in troubled waters. But as long as I am here, Yizhou must abide by my policy! As for the future,
I have unified the country, so I don’t need to say anything else!"
"Of course I will understand!" All the leaders nodded. Old Zhurong had already told these leaders about Liu Zhang's strength. In their view, it was not a problem for Liu Zhang to unify the Han Dynasty, it was just a matter of time. After unifying the Han Dynasty, what would Liu Zhang be?
Even fools know this!
"Just understand!" Liu Zhang said: "My policy will never discriminate against Chinese people. Regardless of the Southern Barbarians, Wuxi Barbarians, or the Xianbei and Xiongnu who have been forced to become Han people, I will give them a chance to live a good life. Just look.
Jane doesn’t appreciate it anymore!”
"Cherish it, you must cherish it!" The leaders smiled happily, they saw Liu Zhang's sincerity!
"Okay!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "Innovation cannot be rushed. You Nanbarians have many policies and regulations that are different from those of the Han people. This is the first thing to be changed! From now on, the Nanbarites will act according to the Han people. You no longer have control over everything.
He is the leader of the Ministry, but an official of the Han Dynasty. I wonder if you have any objections?"
"Champion Hou, it's okay to be an official, but we don't even know Chinese characters, how can we understand the rules and regulations of the Han people? Isn't this making things difficult for others?" King Mulu was the best at playing wolf, insect, tiger and leopard, and asked him to read and write, and study laws.
, it’s really difficult!
"Mulu, don't be anxious! Since the champion has said it, he has his own way to solve it!" Seeing the aggrieved look on King Mulu's face, Old Zhu Rong quickly spoke to persuade him.
"What Lao Zhurong said is true!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "You are illiterate and don't know the law. What's the problem? Don't you have children? Later I will open a special college in Chang'an to let your children enter. I will not only
Let them learn Chinese characters, and also teach them Han laws, policies, and methods of managing people's livelihood. After completing their studies, I asked them to return to the Southern Barbarians as officials and educate the Southern Barbarians. Within twenty years, among the Southern Barbarians
There’s no one who doesn’t know Chinese characters anymore!”
"Sure enough, the Southern Barbarians are lucky!" Meng Jie was originally a Han, and he was overjoyed after hearing Liu Zhang's words. As a barbarian king, he did not want the Southern Barbarians to continue to be barbaric, but he could not reverse the situation with his own strength.
So later, he was so frustrated that he chose to abdicate and give the throne to Meng Huo. Now that Liu Zhang is taking the lead, he seems to have seen the Southern Barbarians, each of them knowing the book and paying tribute!
"This..." Although Meng Jie agreed, the other leaders were hesitant. In their opinion, Liu Zhang did not want to educate their children, but wanted to take hostages!
Seeing that the leaders were in trouble, Liu Zhang frowned and asked, "You seem to disagree with my opinion?"
"Prince Champion, I have something to say, I don't know whether I should say it or not!" How could old Zhurong not understand the thoughts of the leaders? He is the only one who can be the leader. After all, he is the one who called everyone here!
"If you have anything to say, feel free to speak out!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "Since I invited you here, I want to completely solve the Nanman problem. If I don't let you speak, wouldn't it go against my original intention?"
"Then I'll tell you, I hope the champion won't blame you!" Old Zhu Rong asked with a smile: "If you send your children to Chang'an and you detain them, what should you do?"
"So you are worried about this!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "You can keep the prince and let other children come to Chang'an to study and assist the prince in the future! In fact, the first group of people are a bit dangerous. In the future, when the southern barbarians have their own Confucian scholars, they can themselves
It’s time to educate the children! One more thing, since you are here, you should believe me, otherwise it will be a waste of time? You will not come from Nanman just to have a few drinks and meals!"
After listening to Liu Zhang's words, the barbarian leaders all laughed, and their hearts were relieved. But Liu Zhang changed the subject and said: "However, there are some problems with the system of barbarian leaders. Since you belong to the imperial court, you should be appointed and removed by the imperial court.
Officials, what do you think?"
"This..." Old Zhurong said with some confusion: "The Champion Marquis and the leader of the Southern Barbarians will naturally be selected from the heirs of us people. If they are appointed and dismissed by the imperial court, I am worried that everyone will not accept it!"
"Of course I have to choose from your heirs!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "But the official positions in the imperial court are not family property and cannot be inherited entirely by the eldest son. Even we Han people have the option of establishing a direct descendant or a virtuous person? I just want to
The imperial court will help you choose your successor! As a leader, you must naturally be responsible for the people you govern. If you are incompetent, how can you be a leader?"
"I dare to ask the champion, how to choose?" The inheritance issue has involved the exact interests of each leader. They cannot care about it, and even old Zhurong is not immune!
Liu Zhang smiled and said: "In the future, I will implement an assessment system. Not only will the heirs of the Southern Barbarian leaders be assessed, even Han people who want to be officials will have to go through this set of procedures! It mainly assesses the officials' methods and knowledge of managing people's livelihood. I want to be here
The leader also wants his best children to inherit his position!"
"Of course!" Old Zhu Rong said with a smile: "If my son doesn't do his job and the tribe is annexed by others, it is better to let his capable son manage it. I was favored by my father because of my bravery and wisdom!
"
"Uh..." Seeing old Zhu Rong boasting about himself, everyone was a little amused. But no one dared to laugh at the leader of the Zhu Rong clan casually, so they had to keep their heads down and say nothing, but their constant shrugging of shoulders betrayed them!
"What a joke!" Lao Zhurong was a little annoyed. When everyone saw that he was showing signs of going berserk, they quickly sat down solemnly or drank from each other. Even Meng Jie smiled!
"Okay!" Liu Zhang smiled and said: "It seems that everyone understands what I mean! If you don't understand anything, you can ask Meng Jie and Lao Zhurong. Don't worry, as long as you follow me, I will not treat you badly.
I won’t treat the Southern Barbarians badly!”
"With the words of the champion, we will do it!" If one Nanman leader supports Liu Zhang, there will be a second one. Gradually, the masters of the thirty-six caves agreed to Liu Zhang's request, and even wanted to support Liu Zhang during the war in the Central Plains.
Send troops to help!
"I appreciate your kindness! If I need it, I will definitely ask you for help!" Liu Zhang stood up, raised his wine glass and said: "From now on, we are a family and we must help each other. If there is any injustice, you guys
Just find the local government. If the local government doesn't care, you can send people directly to Chang'an to find me. If I am no longer here, you or your descendants can find my descendants! If you agree with me, we will drink this cup together.
Celebrate us becoming a family!”
"Congratulations to the champion!" All the leaders stood up together, drank the wine in the cup, and turned the cup rim down.
"Okay!" Liu Zhang shouted loudly: "Since we are here, we will not get drunk or return! Let's go to the banquet and I will drink with you! I know that you are all people who don't know etiquette, so I won't talk about etiquette today. Have fun!
"
"Wait a minute!" Just when the leaders were about to express their thanks to Liu Zhang, Lao Zhurong said: "Champion Hou, I have one more thing..."
