Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 339
The sunset glowed red, and the drowsy night shrouded the land. Several bonfires and fire pits were burning in the Han army camp, and the orange flames set off the camp like a sea of ​​red.

The Baima Qiang people and the soldiers of the Han army danced "Xi Cubu" around the bonfire and sang "Sarang".It doesn't look complicated, and you can get started quickly with a little familiarity.

Outside the bonfire, there were more than ten Qiang people playing Qiang flutes and sheepskin drums, thinking that they should be in harmony.Accompanied by the changing music, the footsteps of the crowd became more and more cheerful. The soldiers of the Han army who were new to Xi Cubu staggered and staggered slightly, and several even fell to the ground, which added a bit of fun to the banquet.

On the high platform, Liu Chan and others, who were drinking and having fun, couldn't help laughing when they saw this.

Liu Chan held the wine bottle and looked at Fu Jian, and said with a smile: "I have heard for a long time that the nobles are good at singing and dancing, and seeing it today, it really has a special flavor!"

Compared with the strong and majestic songs and dances of the Jin people, the songs and dances of the Qiang people are more rough and simple. Compared with the Han people, they lack solemnity and etiquette, and are full of mystery of ghosts and gods.

With a smile on his face, Fu Jian held up the wine bottle to respect the emperor, and said respectfully: "It's just a rude dance, Your Majesty praises it! Your Majesty condescends to be as happy as me, and Jian offers a bottle to His Majesty on behalf of the Baima Qiang people. May the great Han rejuvenate, Your Majesty Ten thousand years."

Holding the wine bottle, Liu Chan slightly returned the salute, sipped the wine bottle lightly, caught a glimpse of Fu Jian drinking the contents of the cup in one gulp from the corner of his eye, and praised: "Fu Qing is a good drinker."

Everyone in office also thought so, and looked at Fu Jian appreciatively.

After the banquet started, Fu Jian raised wine to salute everyone one by one, but his expression remained unchanged, and he drank an unknown number of cups afterwards, which was really huge.

"It's an honor to see His Majesty today, and I drink a few more bottles on a whim." Fu Jian said modestly.

Liu Chan grabbed the mustache and said with a smile, "It's enough to be happy today, no need to be polite."

"promise!"

Liu Chan took the Hubing stuffed with walnut kernels and bit into it. It tasted very good.Looking around at the crowd, he saw that Dong Yun had a troubled expression on his face, he was not used to today's banquet, and he didn't eat much of the cakes on the table.

After Liu Chan finished eating the Hubing in his hand, he continued to say: "Why doesn't Xiu Zhao eat it, but today's banquet is not suitable for Xiu Zhao's mouth."

Dong Yun put down his chopsticks, showing hesitation, cupped his hands and replied: "Your Majesty, today's banquet is very good, but Yun is not feeling well and eats very little."

Liu Chan chuckled, this Dong Yun is good at everything, but pays too much attention to etiquette and face, and doesn't eat nonsense.

During the Qin and Han Dynasties, soup cakes or steamed cakes were the staple food of the common people. Since Hu cakes were introduced to the Central Plains from the Western Han Dynasty, the common people and the gentry gradually accepted this new staple food.

When Zhao Qi, a Confucian scholar in the Eastern Han Dynasty, took refuge in Beihai County, it was convenient for him to sell Hubing in the city for a living;

Emperor Hanling also liked to eat Hubing. At that time, all the capitals ate Hubing. What makes people laugh and cry is that some people summed up the reasons for the subjugation of the Later Han Dynasty and said that Emperor Hanling liked to eat Hubing. This is a sign of the impending doom of the Han Dynasty. .However, when Lu Bu led the army to go out to fight, the local officials offered [-] pieces of mustache cakes as army rations.

It can be seen that during the Three Kingdoms period, the scholar class still had some rejection of Hubing and Hu Feng's supplies, while the lower class liked these convenient items.

After waving his hand, Liu Chan called around and ordered, "Remove the bean cakes on Dong Shizhong's case and replace them with soup cakes."

"promise!"

After a while, the attendant replaced the mustard cakes on Dong Yun's case with soup cakes.

Seeing this, Dong Yun took a peek at Liu Chan, seeing that he was eating the hummus calmly, he didn't care, and felt a little ashamed.

For Liu Chan, the acceptance is very high. After all, in later generations, these barbarians' supplies have already been integrated into social life, but they just came here through time travel, and they are not used to it.

Liu Chan looked at the people at the banquet again. Today's banquet is a labor banquet. Because it is located at the front line, most of the ingredients are simple, and there are no rice or other dishes that need to be steamed that Jingshu scholars like to eat.Therefore, except for the generals and soldiers of the Han army, the literati and officials who accompanied them ate very little of the biscuits.

It's just that the literati and officials in Jingshu seldom communicated with the Qiang people at the banquet, but the scholars from Longyou and the generals of the Han army such as Liu Yin and Liu Lin who guarded the city had very happy exchanges with the Baima Qiang people.

This scene made Liu Chan think for a while, the chain of disdain for big men has existed for a long time!
The great Han ruled Shu with the scholars of Jingchu, so the scholars of Jingchu were expensive.Among the next-level Yizhou, there are Hanzhong, Ba, Shu, and Nanzhong. Most of the Hanzhong surnames were removed and were not counted.As far as Ba, Shu, and Nanzhong are concerned, Shu has scholars, and Ba and Nanzhong have military generals. Among them, Badi general Shaomin Cong has the highest status, and the three cannot integrate with each other.

As for the concubine, no one looked down on them. The promotion of Jufu and Wang Ping was inseparable from the promotion of Liu Chan and Zhuge Liang.Nowadays and in history, the power of the Jin people is basically subordinate to the Jingzhou scholars.After all, in Changju's "Huayang Guozhi Bazhi", Wang Ping, Jufu, and Ma Zhong were very outrageously evaluated as "calling Jingchu beautiful".

After the Great Han seized Long, the scholars from Longyou could not integrate into the Han and Shu scholars, let alone the Qiang people.

Although it is not like in the Eastern Han Dynasty, when the Guandong scholars looked down on the Guanxi scholars, and the Guanzhong scholars looked down on the Liangzhou scholars, there is a bit of meaning in it.

As far as the current situation is concerned, if the Great Han wants to win the world in the future, it still has to rely on Liang and Long, and it is not enough to rely on the surnames of the Han people. It is also necessary to include the Qiang and Di tribes into the Han. Thousands of people, how to deal with the relationship between the Qiang and Di tribes in the future is very important!

If you want to accept the Qiang and Di people to fight for the Han, you must give them a corresponding status, just like the Nanzhong and Jian people, or you will eat back the Han themselves sooner or later.The most important thing is to let Jingshu scholars accept these few people into the court from the concept.

When Liu Chan was thinking about it, he saw that the Baima Qiang people who were singing and dancing in the wilderness were now surrounding them, laughing and laughing from time to time.

Liu Chan pointed to the white horse Qiang people gathered together under the stage, looked at Fu Jian, and asked, "Fu Qing, why is this?"

Fu Jian glanced at the people who were drinking the wine, his face was slightly drunk, he cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, this is the wine from the Qiang people, made by Yidi (Note ①), the ancestor of our clan. There is a jar of wine in it. Surrounded by several people, suck it up with bamboo tubes."

Liu Chan had a flash of inspiration, and jokingly said: "Qing's drinking, how is it better than Ba ​​Xiangqing?"

"Each has its own flavor, and it's hard to tell which is better." Fu Jian said proudly.

Liu Chan pretended to be displeased, and said, "What's the reason why you don't offer such good wine?"

After finishing speaking, he laughed.

While pleading guilty, Fu Jian ordered the Qiang people to bring a jar of unopened Zajiu.

When the wine arrived, Fu Jian unsealed it, lifted the wine, and wanted to pour the wine for Liu Chan himself.

Liu Chan looked around at the crowd, waved his hand to stop them, and said with a smile: "I see that people who drink wine all use bamboo tubes to suck it up. If you pour it on the wine bottle now, it will not lose its fun. Come here, bring the bamboo tube."

As he said that, Liu Chan asked Fu Jian to put it on the ground. At this time, the smell of wine was wafting away, and the aroma was strong and fragrant.

Fu Jian took a clean bamboo tube and inserted it into the wine jar.Liu Chan took the bamboo tube with a smile and sucked lightly, the delicious and mellow wine filled his mouth.

Looking at the crowd, Liu Chan couldn't help sighing, and said: "This wine is not inferior to Baxiangqing, it has a special flavor, and it is endless aftertaste!"

After a pause, Liu Chan pointed at the wine and said with a smile: "How can I enjoy this kind of fine wine alone. All the gentlemen come here to drink it with bamboo pipes, to show the virtue of being of the same heart with you."

After being greeted, the generals who did not stick to etiquette were ready to move, holding bamboo pipes and wanting to drink. Only Liao Li, Dong Yun and other Jingshu scholars and officials showed hesitation, fearing that they would damage etiquette and be too vulgar.

Liu Chan's expression was displeased, and he said: "Xiu Zhao, Gong Yuan, you are my humerus, and you are the first to come forward and drink."

Liao Li glanced at Liu Chan who seemed angry, hesitated for a while, and finally stepped forward to take a sip of wine with a bamboo pipe.

Then Dong Yun couldn't delay, so he stepped forward second; then Liu Yin, Yang Xi, and Fu Jian.
