Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 1527 Doctor Zhongsan
On November 13, [-], it was sunny.

At the Shuowang Dachao Meeting, someone proposed to kill the false emperor Zheng Renmin, because this guy was extremely dishonest, he pretended to be in Lushui, cried a lot, and caused turmoil in Yunnan.

Some people even blamed Zhao Cuo's surrender and rebellion on him.

Some people in the Tonghai Governor's Mansion even made a rebellion in the name of the false emperor, which attracted Yan Wang Shao Mingyi to personally command the Dragon and Tiger Army to suppress the rebellion.

Shao Shude was also annoyed when he heard it.

It means that Zheng Renmin doesn't have a wife, otherwise I'll give you a look.But he still has his mother, no matter how old and ugly he is, he still has to make your mother's belly bigger.

After the end of the court meeting, he received Changhe and his ministers in Dongneiyuan.

Gao, Zhao, Yang, Dong, Duan and other Xi'er River Damans were the first to come forward to pay their respects.

In fact, in terms of pure strength, these so-called barbarian leaders may not be able to rank high in Nanzhao, Changhe.Some barbarian leaders in Shanchan Mansion, Tonghai Dudu Mansion, and Yinsheng Town actually have more young men than they can mobilize.

Even if they are not as strong individually, they can easily crush you to death by joining forces.

But Nanzhao and Changhe are countries with laws after all, not grassroots teams.The tribes of the Xi'er River lived near Dali, and were often conscripted by their leaders for food and soldiers. Over time, many people entered the system.

In fact, they rely on the tribe as their backing, use their official positions in the system to exert influence, and leverage the power of the entire country, which is not comparable to other tribal leaders.

"All the ministers are descendants of the rich ethnic groups in the Central Plains. Now that you have entered Beijing, you will be able to do things in the future. Don't think too much." Shao Shude first asked them to send them a list of rewards, and then said: "The tribes of the Xi'er River, still Live in the old place, waiting for the imperial court to order."

"The minister obeys the order." Everyone responded in unison.

A total of more than ten people from the five major clans came, and all of them were assigned official positions.

The highest one was Yang Qianzhen, the former envoy of Dongchuan Jiedu, who served as the doctor of the Ministry of punishment, and his younger brother Yang Zhao served as Guanglu Cheng.

Dong Jialuo, who has the lowest rank, is the censor in the palace.

All are Beijing officials, and the whole family has moved here.From now on, they will honestly work for the imperial court. Although they may not be able to advance much in this life because of their background, it is not difficult to lay a solid foundation for the next generation.

Since the Tang Dynasty, there has been no discrimination against the Tibetans.

Liu Chongwang, who was born in the Liu family of the Xiongnu, could be prime minister, Duan Wenchang, who was born in the Duan family of Xianbei, could be prime minister, and Bai Minzhong, who was born in the Bai family of Qiuci, could be prime minister.

What's more, they are not barbarians, but a brand-new genealogy of the descendants of the "serious eight classics" in the Central Plains, which is freshly released.

Before leaving, King Yan personally practiced it and gave them a good publicity in Dali. Now everyone knows that these five families were originally from the Han Chinese—whether they believe it or not.

After arriving in the capital, the saint also rewarded various items.The money, silk, and gold and silver wares on the gift list are nothing more than that, but whale oil candles, whale leather boots, and marten fur coats are rare items, and everyone even got a four-wheeled carriage...

Of course, everyone knows that the saint is not bad.

Aside from the various handicrafts and gold and silver wares in the palace, there are more than 50 pieces of cloth moved from the treasury of Liangjing and Nongdong, and more than 20 copper coins made by Changhe Guozhu. 15 pieces of silk.

Silk cloth is a high-priced commodity in the Central Plains. Even if the price is destined to plummet, it is at least worth more than a piece of silk, right?People in the Central Plains may not like silkworm silk, but it is not a problem to sell it at a discount.In short, this is a big profit, and there is still a lot left after the military rewards are paid, which can be shipped back to the country to enrich the treasury.

No wonder everyone likes to destroy the country, this kind of one-time huge income is very cool.

"Your Majesty, the ministers also have gifts to offer." Seeing that the saint had nothing to say, Yang Qianzhen came forward to report.

Shao Shude looked at Han Quanhui.

Han Quanhui gestured with his eyes, and Xiao Huangmen immediately presented the gift.

Ordinary gifts are nothing more than ordinary gifts, Shao Shude focused on the "living creatures": a few horses.

"Your Majesty, this is a Badian horse." Yang Qianzhen introduced: "During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, Yunnan horses entered the Central Plains. Wang Rong, the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove, took a Badian horse. Emperor Ming of the Eastern Jin Dynasty also rode a Badian horse to visit the king. The reality of Dun's barracks."

"Zhuge Liang pacified Nanzhong (today's Qujing and Zhaotong), and 'endowed gold and silver lacquer, cattle and horses for military use'." Shao Shude said: "Badian horses gave Shu Han a lot of help."

This kind of horse is short in stature and is not very popular with him.

But any kind of animal and plant in nature is useful.He thought of a Bulgarian horse named "Racek" in later generations. This kind of horse is not good in other aspects, but it is good at walking on mountains. It walks very steadily in the mountains of southeastern Europe, far better than other horses, so it became the Ottoman army. One of the standard horses.

These horse breeds have undergone natural selection by the environment, and the genetic resources they carry are useful.

"Leave it to Sinong Temple to see if it can be cultivated." Shao Shude ordered.

"Follow the order." Han Quanhui ordered the horse to be led away.

"What's the name of this horse?" Shao Shude asked.

"Yuezhu horses are produced in Yongchang Town. Since Nanzhao, Dianchi and Yongchang have been the two major horse producing areas, especially the latter." Yang Qianzhen introduced: "The horses in Dianchi and Yongchang are released into the wild and are not placed in stables. There is an order in the middle of the country, Yongchang selects hundreds of Yueju horses to Dali every year, and feeds them with rice porridge for three years, and grows a little in four or five years, and it will be completed in six or seven years. The horse tails under this feeding method are especially good. Galloping, traveling hundreds of miles a day."

A Yueba horse is a Tengchong horse.

Shao Shude felt a little emotional when he heard that, it is quite scientific to raise horses in Nanzhao, and he is willing to spend money.

He once looked through the classics of the Tang Dynasty and learned that there were many horses in Nanzhao, so horse riding prevailed.Soldiers of the government soldiers and horse corps prepare their own horses and armor, and practice horse riding and martial arts in the village during the slack season.

There is also "Wangju Ziman", "men and women are brave, ride without saddles, use spears and swords well, and gallop like gods" - "riding without saddles" has very high requirements for riding skills, not everyone can do it.

In the tenth year of Zhenyuan (794) of Emperor Dezong of Tang Dynasty, Yi Mou searched for the "precious things in the land" of the Tang Dynasty as a tribute.

Jiama is Nanzhao's name for a war horse that is fully armored. After a knight puts on armor, he is an armored cavalry, and Nanzhao did have a certain number of armored cavalry.

Genuine duo sheaths and armored cavalry were all dedicated to the Tang Dynasty, which was much more generous than those countries in the Western Regions. Nanzhao is still rich!

"Zhenzheng sent Wangjuziman two thousand, have they all come to Beijing?" Shao Shude asked.

"They're all here, stationed at Zhongwei Bridge." Han Quanhui reported.

Wangjuziman is the most capable unit in Nanzhao, and he always acts as a vanguard and a dead soldier every time.Zheng Renmin recruited Luo to act as a guard by his side, it was really messing around.

After the destruction of Changhe Kingdom, Shao Shude sent 2000 people from Wangjuziman to Beijing to prepare for the Western Expedition, and they are now in place.

This is the capital of the emperor of a great country.

He remembered that the later Manchu Qing conquered Burma and mobilized the Eight Banners soldiers from Beijing, the Eight Banners soldiers outside the Guan, Sauron soldiers, Mongolian soldiers, Fujian rattan soldiers, Sichuan Green Camp, Yunnan soldiers, local chieftain soldiers, etc., which was almost a hodgepodge.

He conquered the Western Regions, including the Luoyang forbidden army, Mohe, Jurchen, Khitan, and Uyghur soldiers, slave guards, tribal soldiers from the inner vassal, soldiers from the north of Qi, Helong fan Han Ding Zhuang, and now there are Yunnan barbarians. soldier.

Li Shimin can shake people from the Indus River to fight Goguryeo, and I can naturally let the savages from the Northeast and Yunnan go to the Western Regions.

This is the real co-owner of the world.

"Wang Juziman was incorporated into the Fengguo army and formed a capital of his own. There is Si Hou who will give wine, meat and rewards, and he will go to battle. Don't be in debt in this regard." Shao Shude instructed.

"Observe the order." Han Quanhui replied - this matter is under the control of the Privy Council, and he is just a messenger.

Shao Shude casually looked at the other gifts.

In fact, they are not very valuable, they are just local specialties, such as the red rattan sticks that are relatively popular in the Central Plains.

In Bai Juyi's "Red Rattan Stick" poem, there was a sentence "The volcano grows far away, and Lushui washes it to new", which has already explained the origin of this red rattan stick: Yongchang.

Baoshan and Tengchong areas are rich in bamboo and wood.There is purple rattan bamboo, which is actually a kind of rattan. After peeling, the whole body is purple and roasted by fire. The end near the root is bent into a stick head, and the top is carved with patterned flower decorations, just like a handicraft.

There is also Tonghua cloth, which is a kind of shrub woody kapok produced in Gaoligong Mountain. It is woven into cloth and sold in the Central Plains.

In Yinsheng, Tuonan and other places, "the barbarians do not raise silkworms, but harvest salsa seeds to break their shells, and the white is like catkins, sewed like silk, spun into squares, and cut into cages."

In fact, it is kapok cloth.

In the valley of the Nujiang River at the foot of Gaoligong Mountain, some barbarians picked Panzhihua to weave cloth, but the fleece was short, and they were mainly used as pillow cushions. This time they also donated a batch.

In addition, there are dried lychees, dried coconuts, betel nuts and other things, all of which are small objects. There are coconuts in Yunnan. When Zhuge Liang conquered Nanman, he saw coconut trees and ordered the soldiers to cut them down. Angry too."

If Shao Shude wanted to eat coconuts, he could actually do it.

This stuff keeps much longer than lychees.Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty needed [-] miles to send it to the capital, but the coconut didn't even need [-] miles.

It's just that he doesn't want to do this for the time being, but he can try it when he has a chance in the future, at worst, he will be sprayed by the ministers.Occasionally once or twice, I can still bear it.

Finally, there are some gifts, which are obviously not very expensive, placed together with small handicrafts.

Shao Shude looked at it but was thoughtful, because this is a jade ornament, it should come from Lishui Town, Nanzhao.

Do you want to bring goods again?Artificially fry its value?

Shao Shude decided to think about it and make a relatively comprehensive plan as much as possible.Anyway, I brought so much goods, and it's not bad for the emerald.

After the Yang family, Duan family, and Dong family left, Shao Shude looked at Zheng Renmin, whose lips were blue from the cold.

"A mink fur." ​​He waved his hand and ordered.

"Thank... Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward." Zheng Renmin lowered his head and said with difficulty.

Shao Shude looked at him for a long time, then suddenly smiled, and said, "If you're like this, you still want to marry my tiger girl?"

Zheng Renmin blushed and said, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

In fact, he is very dangerous now.

After the country was destroyed in ancient times, in order to maintain local stability, they would win over the local rich families and confer titles to stabilize people's hearts.But the fate of the monarch is generally not very good. Whether he lives or dies depends entirely on the mood of the victor.

In short, the target of the united front after the annihilation of the country is the ministers, not the monarch.

"When you crossed Lushui, you caused me a lot of trouble..." Shao Shude said, "Did you write a few poems when you arrived in Yazhou? The poems are full of resentment, and you made it difficult for me. .”

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty." Zheng Renmin wept.

"Forget it, I didn't even kill the former Tang Xun Emperor, so I don't bother to talk to you." Shao Shude said: "Same as Da Chau Zhuan, I will give you the post of doctor of Zhongsan and a mansion, and Da Chau Zhuan will be your companion."

Dr. Zhongsan is a regular fifth-rank official. He is a non-official official and just receives a salary.

But to be honest, it was still very kind, and Zheng Renmin's heart fell into his stomach at this point, and he kowtowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En."

"During the time in Beijing, do your duty." Shao Shude waved him to step back.
