Chapter 188 The Barbarian of Hongdu

All the way north, after another month of walking from Changsha mansion, Lin Qian finally saw the city wall of Hongdu mansion.

After losing the sixteenth city of Yanyun, Hongdu Mansion is the northernmost gateway of Dagan, and it can be said that it is the fortress facing the northern barbarians.

Along the way, Lin Qian finished "The Condor of the Gods" and opened a new book. This time, instead of picking up the old man Jin's wool, he chose Gu Long's "Sentimental Swordsman Ruthless Sword".

Many people say that "Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" is Mr. Gu Long's pinnacle work, but there is no such thing as the first, a thousand readers have a thousand Hamlets, as far as Lin Qian is concerned, he still prefers "Little Li Fei Dao" three Parts, especially the first "Sentimental Swordsman Ruthless Sword".

Now let the people of this world experience the pure grievances and hatreds of the rivers and lakes!

In addition, he once again wrote a biography "Kneeling for a Thousand Years, Who Knows He Is Also a Literary Genius".

That's right, the protagonist this time is Qin Hui!

In this world, Qin Hui did not do such things as entrap Yue Fei, but he is also a hardcore peacemaker, and now he is also the semi-sage behind the old party. Before Song Zhiwen stopped Han Yu, it represented them. Help the demi-holy of the old party.

In the article, Lin Qian focused on the incident of Qin Hui's betrayal of Dagan and his service to the Northern Man, which killed General Dagan, especially the drama of recalling General Yue Fei with twelve gold medals, which aroused discussions among countless Dagan people.

Classics are classics everywhere!

Of course, Lin Qian paid attention to trying his best to portray the emperor in the biography as being deceived by treacherous officials. Although he didn't like Emperor Qianyuan, the situation was stronger than others, and he had to bow his head under the eaves.

After the last article got a good response, Lin Qian decided to continue to intensify his efforts and kindly write a biography for all the old party half-sages.

Jiang Ning, Qin Mansion, and Qin Hui's lungs were about to explode. Seeing that the popularity of this article remained high, not only scholars were discussing it, but even ordinary people regarded it as a topic of conversation after dinner.

The most annoying thing was that it was obviously a fabricated story, but because Lin Qian wrote it in too much detail and lifelikeness, everyone couldn't tell the truth from the story, and put these charges on Qin Hui.

Now Qin Hui finally realized how aggrieved Song Zhiwen was. However, when he proposed to ask Lin Qian for a theory, Song Zhiwen was the first to raise objections.

It's a pity that there is no Martin Niemoller in his world, otherwise Qin Hui would definitely be deeply moved by his short poem.

First they went after the communists and I didn't speak up - because I wasn't a communist, then they went after the Jews and I didn't talk up - because I wasn't a Jew.

Later they hunted down trade unionists, and I didn't speak up—because I wasn't a trade unionist; afterward, they hunted down Catholics, and I didn't speak up—because I was a Protestant.

In the end they came running to me, but no one stood up to speak for me anymore!
……

Hongdu is located in the north. After arriving at the territory of Hongdu, one can clearly feel that even the air has become dry, and the occasional gust of sandstorm is even more charming.

Lin Qian got out of the car more than ten miles away from Hongdufu City. He came to be the magistrate, not to travel, so he planned to play a private visit with a micro-service.

Put on the uniform, ride a horse, and go all the way to Hongdu along the official road.

On the way, he also saw a group of Hongdu officials who greeted him outside Shili Pavilion. They ignored the stranger who was passing by on horseback. Lin Qian also didn't say hello to them, and the two passed each other.

Less than a quarter of an hour later, Lin Qian arrived outside the Hongdu Mansion.

The prosperity of Hongdu Mansion exceeded Lin Qian's expectations, and there was already a long queue outside the city gate.

Look at the sky, it is already Sishi, the gate of Hongdu Mansion should be opened at [-]:[-] Yinshi, and there is still such a grand occasion, which shows that the prosperity of Hongdu Mansion is far inferior to that of Changsha Mansion. It is a pity that the last time I went to Jiqing There was a plague in Jiqing Mansion at that time, but there is no way to compare it.

The scorching sun, the occasional wind and sand, and the completely different scenery from the south were displayed in front of Lin Qian, giving him a warning.

Lin Qian did not use Confucianism to resist, let the sun and wind blow to his face, nor did he show his identity and enter the city with privileges, but stood in the queue honestly.

Soon, Lian discovered something different, there were barbarians in the entry team of Hongdu Mansion!

The barbarians are burly and tall, which is obviously different from the Dagan people. In addition, they like to be topless, so it is easy to distinguish them.

These barbarians used horses to pull the wagons, stretching back and forth for dozens of meters, obviously they were all businessmen.

This is also part of the contract between Dagan and the barbarians ten years ago, allowing the barbarians to trade in Dagan. Dagan has exquisite porcelain, tea, and silk, all of which are urgently needed by the barbarians. In the barbarians, even pots and pans are needed. Imported from Dagan.

The barbarian's cattle, sheep and horses, as well as various products of cattle, sheep and horses, fur, and cheese are all in great demand. The two sides' business cooperation is also a matter of mutual benefit, and Lin Qian agrees very much.

Moreover, through trade, the exchanges between the people of the two ethnic groups can be enhanced. With Daqian's cultural heritage, it is easy to assimilate them, which can be said to be a bloodless method.

But soon, Lin Qian frowned.

The originally peaceful team entering the city suddenly became agitated because of the joining of these barbarians.

Because they did not line up, but swaggered past the team and headed straight for the city gate. This road was originally reserved for the passage of the army, officials, and postmen under special circumstances.

They walk from this side, which means that they don't have to queue up, but others have to let them enter the city first and wait longer.

Simply put, these barbarians are jumping in line!
"Why do they jump in line? Is no one in charge?"

Lin Qian muttered in dissatisfaction.

Facing the barbarian caravan's jumping in line, the people in line not only didn't stop them, but gave way to the side, giving way to a wider space for the barbarians to pass, all of them lowered their eyebrows and looked pleasing to the eye, as if they had already gotten used to it.

"Is this still the northern people with tough folk customs?"

Seeing this scene, Lin Qian felt angry for no reason.

At this moment, a rough arm was placed on Lin Qian's shoulder, and when Lin Qian was about to use his Confucianism to fight back, the man behind him reminded in a low voice, "Don't die, if the barbarians hear it, you will die today." It will be miserable."

At this moment, Lin Qian suddenly calmed down. After thanking the man behind him, he continued to ask, "Don't even the government care?"

"Brother, it's the first time I've come to Hongdu, right?"

The middle-aged man grinned, showing his white teeth, "The reason why they can be so arrogant is because the government supports them. We'd better not provoke them."

Lin Qian was even more puzzled, "Isn't this my place to work? The government supports the barbarians?"

The middle-aged man smiled and didn't answer Lin Qian's question, but just reminded, "You just need to remember not to mess with any savages in Hongdu."

Lin Qian nodded, no longer asked, but chatted with the middle-aged about other things.

After a stick of incense, it was finally Lin Qian's turn to enter the city. After paying the entrance fee, Lin Qian walked into Hongdufu City smoothly. After bidding farewell to his middle-aged man, Lin Qian strolled around the streets of Hongdufu.

"Give me the money, quick, give me the money!"

"If you don't buy it, what are you touching? If you touch it, you must buy it!"

Suddenly, a sound of quarreling came to his ears. Lin Qian followed the reputation and found that there were already many people surrounded in front of him. The voice came from the crowd, and the voice had a strange tone, like a barbarian.

When these barbarians went to Dagan to do business, they naturally learned the language of Dagan, but the Dagan language always had a strange taste from their mouths, and it was easy to distinguish it.

With the blessing of Confucianism, Lin Qian easily squeezed into the crowd.

Sure enough, as he expected, a barbarian in the crowd grabbed the Confucian shirt of a Confucian scholar, and in his right hand held a two-foot-long, gleaming broadsword, which made people feel a little terrified.

Next to them stood a few officials. The officials were trying to persuade both sides. They seemed to be very afraid of the big sword in the hands of the barbarians. Lin Qian was very puzzled. He dared to wield swords and guns in front of the officials. What were these officials afraid of?

"This one was dug out from the Blood Spring Pool. It has spirituality. Now that he touched it, the spirituality has already come to him, so he has to buy it!"

"1000 taels of silver, not a penny less!"

Facing the persuasion from the officials, Manzi was very resolute, holding the Confucian scholar's shirt with his left hand, and ready to move the long knife in his right hand. If the officials were not present, I don't know if he would have swung the knife.

"Ten taels?"

"Even if you kill me, I can't give you 1000 taels."

The Confucian scholar's face turned bitter. He originally thought that the officials would be able to help him when they came, but he didn't expect that the officials were even worse than himself.

"No one wants a tael of silver for that broken stone, so it is absolutely impossible for me to compensate the 1000 taels."

Don't say that Confucian scholars don't have 1000 taels, even if they did, he wouldn't take it for granted.

Hearing the Confucian scholar's words, the barbarian's eyes suddenly became fierce, and Lin Qian was a little worried about the safety of the Confucian scholar if there were not too many people present.

At the same time, following the eyes of the Confucian scholar, he looked at the stall beside him, and saw that there were various stones placed on it.

However, not only did these stones have nothing special, but they also had no aesthetic feeling at all, which even made Lin Qian suspect that they were just a pile of stones picked up by the barbarian on the road.

Immediately he understood that this barbarian was blackmailing people!

"Look at this, this poor scholar obviously doesn't have much money, how about ten taels of silver?"

The officer looked at the barbarian with a headache, fearing that if the other party stabbed him with a knife, no one would help him at that time, and he might even have to pay the other party a lot of money to satisfy the barbarians.

After all, it's not that such a thing has never happened, otherwise Manzi wouldn't be so arrogant in Hongdu City.

"Twelve?"

"You are insulting the gods of my barbarians!"

The barbarian glared angrily, as if he wanted to attack the officials.

At this moment, the crowd became commotion again.

Soon, the crowd gave way to a passage, and dozens of burly men with long knives and bare upper body came aggressively from the passage.
