Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 1107
Luo Douliao believed in the god of thunder, and liked to decorate their bronze wares with cloud and thunder patterns.

Liu Rengui was surprised to find that these Liao people seemed to be really good at mining and smelting. Not only was there a thousand-jin bronze drum in the Drum Tower in the village, but also various bronze wares existed in every aspect of Liao people's life.

Brass earrings for women, brass arm rings for men.

Copper wine cups, copper bowls, and copper basins.

In the Central Plains, copper is almost money, and these barefoot and shirtless Liao people actually have so many bronze wares.

Their copperware, pottery and woodware are full of clouds and thunder patterns, and they can't wait to call themselves the Thunder Clan.

With Ah Fa in the middle of the translation, Liu Rengui can communicate with handsome Bazhuo and the others.While chatting, Liu Rengui was shocked to hear that Bazhuo actually said that they were relatives of the emperor.

At first, he thought that these bold Liao people dared to pretend to be relatives of the emperor, but later he understood that they were talking about the Yellow Emperor, the ancestor of China.

"Why do you say that?" Liu Rengui asked Ah Fa.

"The Yellow Emperor lived on the mountain of Xuanyuan, and he married the daughter of Xiling. She was Leizu. Leizu was the daughter of Fanglei's family in Xiling. Huangdi's twelve surnames were Zhongli, and he was the descendant of Leizu."

Speaking of their ancestors, it was a witch from the village who spoke for Bazhuo.

He said that a long, long, long time ago, when the Yellow Emperor lived in Xuanyuan, he married Leizu, the daughter of the Lei family in Xiling, as his concubine, and gave birth to two sons, one named Xuanqi and the other named Changyi.Later, Changyi gave birth to Zhuanxu, who was one of the five emperors.When Zhuanxu was an emperor, he ruled the south and Jiaozhi. Later, Shun, one of the five emperors, a descendant of Zhuanxu, visited the world, visited Jiaozhi in the south, and died of illness in Cangwu.At that time, their officials in Lingnan were also illuminated by the sun and the moon, and their voices and teachings had already been mastered.

According to the white-bearded old wizard, according to records, their Liao people, also known as Lei people, were also a branch of the Qiang people, and they were relatives with the Huangdi family. Later, they migrated from west to east to the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, and were later killed During the conquest by the Shang Dynasty, some clansmen gradually moved to the south of the Yangtze River and mixed with the Baiyue clan.

"Aren't you Liao the descendants of Xiou and Luoyue people in Baiyue?"

As a result, the old wizard rolled his eyes and said seriously, are we after Baiyue?

"We are the emperor's relatives, a branch of the ancient Qiang nationality, and the Han people are also a branch of the ancient Qiang nationality, so we are of the same origin. As for the Baiyue people, they have already moved to a place further southwest."

Liu Rengui glanced at Ah Fa, Ah Fa told him before that the Liao people are the descendants of Luo Yue and Xiou, one of Baiyue.

Ah Fa leaned into Liu Rengui's ear, "School Liu doesn't need to worry about it. In fact, about the ancestors of the Liliao people, the Liliao tribes in different places have different stories, and they don't even know it."

No matter how you say it, Bazhuo is still very polite to Liu Rengui and other court officers, letting people kill pigs and chickens, and cook rice for guests.

During the banquet, Bazhuo asked someone to bring a newly cast [-]-jin bronze drum with cloud and thunder patterns, saying it was for the officers and soldiers.

"If School Liu has a call, you just need someone to beat this bronze drum, and you can hear it within ten miles. When you hear the call from the drum, I will come."

Liu Rengui was a little surprised, and he didn't prepare any gifts, so he immediately untied the horizontal knife and gave it to the leader of the eight claws.

The atmosphere at the table was lively.

Satisfied with wine and food, Bazhuo began to talk about business.

He carefully asked, what plans does the imperial court have in the future if they want to station a military camp here.

The last thing the sluts are willing to do is to register households and land in the imperial court and collect taxes.Therefore, throughout the dynasties, as long as the imperial court can allow them not to be naturalized or taxed, then everything else is easy to say.Once the naturalization and registration of households and the clearing of land and land are to be done, a rebellion war will definitely break out.

"Someone is a mansion soldier stationed in Huaide. As a mansion soldier, he works as a farmer in his spare time, reclaims wasteland and land, and serves as a soldier in wartime, guarding the frontier and defending the country. As for the matter of registering households and Qimin, that is not the responsibility of our soldiers. , so I don't know."

After receiving such a reply, Bazhuo and the others were still not at ease.

But they couldn't ask anything, so they had to ask another question they were concerned about, that is, will the market in Huaide County still be open in the future?
The slang and bureaucrats all like to take advantage of the market, which means to go to the market to trade.

They go to the market, trade goods with each other, and most importantly, exchange salt.Especially for the Liao people in mountainous areas, although most of them are good at hunting and smelting, they cannot make salt and need to exchange.

And because they live in inland mountainous areas, it is not convenient to go out to exchange salt. In the past, the Han people opened up new counties in the mountainous areas, set up markets, and brought salt and other commodities they needed. This is why they were willing to let the Han people open up counties and counties, which brought convenience. .

Now because of the last rebellion in Huaide County, most of the merchants have fled, so it is naturally difficult to open the market on Market Day.

"The market will be reopened, and salt will continue to be sold." Liu Rengui told them that this time he led his troops and brought a lot of salt.

These salts are actually the funds that Li Jingba gave Liu Rengui to build the Huaide camp. He directly gave the salt to him, and then let him transport it to Huaide with the army, and trade with the bureaucrats in exchange for the construction of the camp.

When Octopus heard that there was salt, he was immediately happy.

They even directly wanted to trade with Liu Rengui. They were willing to trade with slaves, gold and silver, bronzes, furs, etc. Many of the slaves were the former Han population of Huaide County.

Liu Rengui's expression was very ugly. Isn't it too bold to betray the people ruled by the court in front of the court officers?

But Bazhuo and the others obviously didn't care about this. They usually even arrested and sold Liao people from other tribal alliances, and they didn't care about the Han people who were not of the same clan. In their eyes, the imperial court should be just a big tribe from the north.

"I have a lot of salt, but I don't want you to exchange the original people of Huaide County as slaves. They are the people of Daqin. If you do this, it will make it difficult for me, the commander who has the responsibility of guarding the border and keeping the people safe. .”

"I'm temporarily acting as the magistrate of Huaide County. You have captured all my people as slaves. How can I, the county magistrate, be responsible to His Majesty? I am very grateful for your warm hospitality today. I hope that we will be able to We live in harmony, so I am here to ask you to give these people to me and bring them back to the county, so that they can go home. In the future, you will have as much salt as you want, not only salt, but also other commodities that you need. You can buy it in the county market, how about it?"

Bazhuo and the others were not very happy. Why was the new commander so unreasonable when he came here?

They muttered to each other.

However, it is obvious that Bazhuo still has some knowledge. Chen Longshu, Tan Dian, Feng Xuan, these Han slang generals in this area in the past few decades, Feng Xuan is said to have been beheaded by this young man in front of him, and Tan Dian and Chen Longshu also belonged to the court.

This shows that the imperial court is indeed very strong, much stronger than when Feng Chen and others were in charge.

For the sake of hundreds of slaves, it seems that it is not worth offending the young man in front of him.
