How could Fang Dangjun not be moved when he heard that Yan Ming had been falsely accused of becoming the chief of various ministries in Weizhou? What's more, 80% of the men in the Fangdang tribe were trapped on Huanqing Road, with no food and grass, and they were probably captured by the Han.
. Without these men, the Fangdang tribe would disappear.
Whether it was to save his life now or save his tribe later, he had no choice.
"Okay, then I'll trouble you to report to General Lu that our troops will submit to Daliang. It's getting late today, so let me prepare some gifts. I will personally take them to see General Lu tomorrow."
Just as Langya Yanming was about to speak, a guard from the Fangdang tribe hurried in, walked to Fangdangjun, and whispered in his ear.
Seeing the strangeness of the guard's arrival, Lang Yanming listened intently, but the guard's voice was very low. He and Fang Dangjun were five or six feet apart, but he couldn't hear what the guard said.
The guard just said a brief sentence and stood up.
Fang Dangjun's expression changed and he said, "Wang Shu Renli has arrived with his troops. Let me go out to greet him."
Lang Yanyan's first reaction was that he was afraid that Fang Dangjun would change his mind and offer him to Renli. His expression just changed, but he thought of the news he had heard from Lu Junyi before, and said with a smile: "Xianggong, an old manager of the Western Army, will lead the way."
I sent a large army of Liang State to attack Lingzhou, but I don’t know whether Renli was defeated and fled here, or he escaped after hearing the news."
Fang Dangjun said: "Please tell General Lu that our troops' surrender to Daliang will not change. I will send you out first, and as soon as Renli's troops leave, I will go to see General Lu."
Lang Nianyan was not shaken when he saw the house. He was also overjoyed. He stood up and was about to leave. Suddenly his heart moved and he said: "I'm afraid I will be intercepted by Renli soldiers and horses if I go out at this time. The clan leader asked me to take me to other places to hide.
It won’t be too late for me to leave until late at night.”
Fang Dangjun nodded and said: "What you are saying is that I was negligent, so I would like to ask the leader of the Langying clan to be aggrieved for a while."
After saying that, he turned around and said to the guard who reported the news: "Take the leader of the Langxi clan to your place to rest, so that I can be treated well."
"yes"
Naniwa Iwana followed the guard out of Fang Tojun's house and headed towards the low earthen house at the back.
The Fangdang tribe has been guarding the salt pond all year round. They no longer live in pursuit of water and grass. Therefore, the place they live in is no longer a tent, but a house built with earth and stone. Fangdangjun's house is no less luxurious than the mansion of a powerful man in the Central Plains.
.However, ordinary people in the tribe live in low earth houses.
The guard took Nana Yana to his house and asked the women at home to entertain him with the best wine and food.
Not long after, the town where the Fangdang tribe lived became noisy.
Since 80% of the men of the tribe left for the expedition, hunting became easier for the remaining people. There were still two wild birds shot on the salt lake at the guard's house.
The woman's cooking skills are not bad either. The dishes she cooked are all delicious and delicious, but the food is not delicious. The wine she drinks is also the fruit wine brewed by Xixia itself. Xixia wine has also been famous for a long time. Xixia gave it to Song Dynasty, Liao Dynasty
When paying tribute to the country, Xixia wine is also an indispensable item.
Generally speaking, the tribes with salt ponds are much wealthier than other tribes.
"Here, have a bowl."
Naniwa Iwana raised his wine bowl and ate a bowl with the guard.
The guard gave Lang Nianyan another bowl of Mingman and said with a smile: "The leader of Lang Nian and Daliang soldiers have been away for many days. They should have heard a lot about Daliang. Can you tell me about it and give me some advice?"
experience."
Although Naniwa Iwana had no intention of talking to the guards, he was too short-tongued to refuse directly. He smiled and said, "I followed them for only two days and arrived at Yanzhou on the third day. I came all the way.
Most of the time, I led people to check if there were any Yanzhou defenders ahead, and I didn’t spend much time with them. I just listened to them talk about the prince and General Lu.”
The guard's eyes lit up and he said: "It is said that Prince Daliang is a god who descended to earth and is victorious in every battle. I don't know what amazing deeds the prince has done that makes people say this."
Naniwa Iwana smiled and said: "That's too much. I just met a trainer named Lin from the 800,000 Imperial Guards in Tokyo. I heard that he was framed by a traitor and his wife was detained in Tokyo by the traitor. So he traveled thousands of miles and broke into Tokyo alone.
, rescued the instructor’s wife. Then he threw a nine-foot-old man at Mount Tai in Dongyue, won the first place in wrestling, and gave away a lot of loot to the people. Then he revolted in Liangshan and defeated many Han generals. What follows
What else is there about pulling out trees as ladders, making a big fuss in Tokyo and carrying a thousand-pound gate? Then they defeated Liao and Xixia. I can't finish it at the moment. Storytellers in the Central Plains are telling these stories now. In the future, when you go to the Central Plains, how many pennies will you spend?
You can hear it.”
The guard said: "What the leader said is that I heard that in the Central Plains, there are singing, sumo wrestling, shadow puppetry, storytelling, acrobatics, and students talking nonsense all the time day and night. If you can go to the Central Plains and have a good time for a few days, you can
It’s worth selling all my property.”
When the woman waiting on the side heard this, she couldn't help but rolled her eyes at the guard and said, "You go and have a good time, while my child and I drink from the northwest wind."
The guard smiled and said: "Of course I will take you with me."
The woman on the side ignored her husband who was daydreaming, and asked Lang Yanyan: "Has the leader been to the Central Plains?"
Lang Yaoyan famously said: "A few years ago, I went to Huanzhou with businessmen from the Central Plains. There are also tiles in Huanzhou, but there are only singers, sumo wrestlers, storytellers, and acrobatics performers. Going further inland, there are more
Lots of programs.”
When the guard heard this, he immediately said: "How about it, can it make people forget everything?"
Nana Iwana nodded and said: "It's really beautiful, especially the kicking. The performer lies on the table and can spin the bottles and plates on his feet and kick them around. I heard that the performers in Tokyo, each toe
I can even spin the bottle. If I hadn’t missed the people in the tribe, I wouldn’t have come back.”
The guard said: "It costs a lot to go to Wazi, right?"
Langyou Yanming laughed and said: "Wazi in Huanzhou costs 20 cents to enter. Buying food there is much more expensive than outside. If you perform well, you can be rewarded or not. I heard that Wazi in Tokyo has entrance fees.
It only costs 200 yuan, but I heard from the Han people that the Wazi in Tokyo didn’t have any seats since I arrived late, so I guess the performance will be better.”
The guard exclaimed: "Why is it so expensive?"
Langyou Yanming smiled and said: "I heard that people with good skills in Wazili can earn as much as a thousand hectares of farmland in a year."
The guard said: "The life of the Han people is so happy, unlike us who drive cattle and sheep and farm fields every day, and our only pastime is hunting."
The woman said: "You only want to be happy. Do you have as much money as the Han people? Once you arrive in Tokyo, I guarantee that you will have to sell me and my child for money in a few days."
The guard said awkwardly: "Don't talk nonsense. I am much stronger than the Han people. They can live a living, so I should make more money than them."
The woman ruthlessly attacked her husband's idea of moving to the Central Plains, mockingly saying: "Han people can make porcelain and forge iron. What can you do?"
The guard said: "Not all Han people have craftsmanship. There are many Han people robbed by the tribe who can only farm."
The woman seemed to be very afraid of going to a strange place, and said reluctantly: "Farming is also a skill. The Han people harvest two stones from one acre, but you can't even harvest one stone from one acre. If you own land, you will starve to death sooner or later."
, not to mention that you don’t have any land. You can only graze cattle and sheep. The Central Plains is full of fertile farmland, and there is no pasture for you to graze cattle and sheep. If you go to the Central Plains, you will starve to death sooner or later.”
"Pa"
When the guard heard the woman's ruthless words, he slapped her in the face and cursed: "You woman, you have no right to speak when I'm talking to the leader."
The guard was so angry that his sweet dream was shattered. He slapped her with great force, and a slap mark immediately appeared on the woman's face.
The woman covered her face, opened her mouth and began to cry. Although she said she was not forgiving, she did not dare to resist. To a certain extent, Dangxiang people were free to fall in love and even die in love, but usually men were superior to women. This was similar to the situation in the Central Plains.
.
Lang Nian Yanming couldn't help but frown when he heard the woman's howling covering up the sounds outside.
When the guard saw this, he scolded: "Shut your mouth. If you cry again, I will lock you in the sheepfold and spend the night."
The woman was obviously afraid that the guard would actually do this, so she immediately covered her mouth and did not dare to make a sound.
"I'm used to being casual at home, so don't be offended, Chief."
Lang Nianyan said with a smile: "It's okay, but I talk too much, which made you quarrel."
The guard glared at his wife again and said, "That woman is so talkative. How dare you blame the leader?"
Lang Yanyan said with a smile: "In fact, after Daliang destroyed Xixia, the Han people will definitely open tiles in various states. Then we don't need to go to the Central Plains, we can watch the theater in the nearby state capital."
When the guard heard this, he said happily: "What the leader said is that there has never been a shortage of Han people in Yanzhou to do business, but there is no shortage of those who can speak and sing."
Lang Yanyan nodded and said: "In the past, when the two countries were at war, those who dared to come to Yanzhou were private businessmen from the Central Plains. Those who have skills and skills would want to take risks on the border. The border is the Dazhou Prefecture with tiles, and the smaller ones are
The people in the forts did not take risks. Xixia plundered many forts and only occasionally snatched a few singers, but they were still unable to survive in the Central Plains. But in the future, we will all return to Daliang. As long as we have money, the Han people will definitely come
Open the tile."
The guard nodded and said: "The leaders of each tribe have a lot of wealth. There must be many people going to Wazi. They will definitely make money by opening Wazi here."
Most of the property of each tribe is concentrated in the leader's family, especially the big tribes, because the big tribes have more wealth. On the contrary, the small tribes have less property, and some small tribes have a harder time surviving, and the leaders are not much better than others.
Lang Yanyan said with a smile: "Although the tribal leaders are rich, their number is small after all, and after the imperial court takes over the salt pond, I am afraid that some leaders will move to the Central Plains. It mainly depends on the ordinary people, but after the world is unified, we will make money
It would be easier. Without the war, there will be more businessmen coming here, and our livestock furs and herbs can be sold at higher prices. There is a lot of difference between the prices here and Huanqing Road."
The guard said happily: "As long as we have money, people in our tribe will be willing to spend money. I believe that there will be Han people who come to open tiles."
