When Pan Geng moved to Yin, I initiated Jian Shang

Chapter 378 Inspection of Changping ([-])

Xin Qu didn't know yet that he was being remembered.

Looking at the crowd that soon appeared, as well as thirty or fifty prairie people dressed in strange clothes, looking at them curiously.

"Where is it?"

An old man from the grassland was invited, and Xinqu asked in Shanxi language.

Realizing that he didn't understand, he continued to chatter a lot, and then Xinqu understood: "Gonggong?"

"Support the plow!!!" The group immediately sang and danced excitedly when they heard Xinqu shouting Gonggong, shouting "Support the plow".

Xin Qu heard that the language was similar to that of the Yan Emperor clan, so he began to adjust the word order and chatted with them for a while.

Then there was the problem.

This group calls itself the Maowan clan (xūn yù).

They are an agricultural and pastoral tribe that escaped from the Yourong clan last year and traveled north to survive.

And the Maowan clan is from the lineage of the Xunxu and the Xiongnu.

After asking carefully, I found out that they used to hang out with the Yandi Alliance in Shanxi, and were later conquered by the Hao family.

The Hao surname belongs to a matrilineal clan tribe, and the male-dominated Maowan clan is a group marriage tribe that works for the matrilineal clan, and there are everyone in it.

There is no official language, more of a Yandi language, and they also speak the Rong clan's language.

Xinqu chatted for a while and discovered a more serious problem, that is, the vocabulary of this Maowan family might have been distorted, making it difficult to understand.

There are also problems with the etymology. Sometimes when they talk about the Kingdom of Heaven, they call it "Plough", and then someone calls out "Tenggri".

Xinqu thought he heard it wrong, and after listening carefully, he was sure that he really called out Tengri.

There is actually a real connection between supporting the plow and Tengger.

In other words, the one in front of you is very likely to be an important source of the future steppe Xiongnu.

Then now he came to Ze's territory and worked for Ze's family.

"Clan leader! Why are you here?" Xinqu originally planned to continue, but Zeyu moved quickly and hurried to greet him.

Then he saw the armored soldiers around Xin Qu and the mountain people surrounding him, and he couldn't help but become nervous.

He hasn't reported it to these people yet. After all, Xin Qu values ​​​​the population resources very much, and the hidden population will probably be liquidated.

But population is also very important to the Ze family. Now the Ze family lives so comfortably because there are a large number of people and slaves working in the fields.

If a household register is given to Xin Qu, and when Xin Qu recruits troops, he selects people from them, then who will work for them?

So, after coming and going, he disappeared.

"The Suzaku Camp came to report that Quluo Lake has thawed and the water volume of the lake has reduced to one-third of the same period last year, so I came to inspect the conditions of the rivers connecting to Quluo Lake."

Xinqu looked at the people of the Ze clan who came in a hurry and drove away the group of Maohu clan. Quan pretended not to notice and continued: "Why don't you renovate on the basis of the Ze clan? Why don't you move here?"

"This..." Zeyu was stunned. He didn't expect that Xinqu's first sentence was to question him about migration?
"The land over there is no longer fertile."

"Aren't you afraid of flash floods when you stay at the mountain pass?" Completely, rush into the water, and then cause harm to both sides of Quluo Lake in the south?

Forget it, you don’t understand even after saying so much, just move south. "

"Chief Xinqu, why did we move south after we just built the house?" Zeyu quickly shook his head, and the elders on the left and right also frowned.

"If you don't go south, I can only arrange for people to come and garrison." Xin Qu frowned and looked at him, "That's where the defense of Changping City is, and the strategic location is extremely important. I can't just leave people there."

"This..." Zeyu was stunned. He didn't expect Xinqu to be so direct.

"What's the matter? Can't we sit down and talk about it?" Zhou Si, who came after him, saw that something was wrong and quickly said something to calm down, "Come on, come on, I've ordered people to prepare food. Let's eat and talk at the same time."

"Okay." Xinqu was not aggressive.

His attitude has been given, and he has started making ugly remarks. If he refuses to implement them, then he will be replaced.

The location of Ze's old town is a strategic point, and a fortress must be built there.

Even if the nearby land becomes barren, it can be expanded in all directions to rotate crops, but it must be left behind to guard it.

Otherwise, there would be no way to block the gap in Tsim Shan Tsui, and all kinds of monsters and monsters might emerge from the mountains.

This is also the advantage and disadvantage of Changping's geographical location.

If Xinqu completely controls the south of Yanmen, Changping will only have to face enemies from the direction of Datong and Xuanhua, that is, intrusions from the grassland.

But without controlling the south of Yanmen, Xinqu needed to strengthen the security of the mountain road in Jianshan Tsui and the Wuding River area at the same time.

Especially over there, there is another clan - the Rong clan.The Maohu clan in front of him was separated from the Rong clan, and Xin Qu could not guarantee that the Maohu clan was not related to the Rong clan.

If the Maowu family cooperates with the Rong family to bloom in the center, then the Zeshi town will be Changping town after Xinshui. It will be great fun.

Ze's move without warning really made Xin Qu realize something.

Try not to place allies around the capital, you must do it yourself.

With deep thoughts, Xin Qu didn't say anything as he walked into the Sijin Courtyard, which was even more luxurious than his own Yamen.

But the Ze clan elders behind him stared blankly at the soldiers Xin Qu brought in, taking control of most of the strategic locations in the hospital, and then also checked the water sources and food.

The style is really not small.

Even Zhou Si was a little shocked.

Although she knew several of these people, their demeanor and behavior had changed greatly.

It's like people from two worlds.

"Sit down." Xin Qu was not polite and sat down straight.

Zeyu was embarrassed, but saw the two armored soldiers standing behind Xin Qu. One of them was holding a shield and a halberd in his hand, and the other was not holding a shield, but was holding a spear with red tassel in both hands. They almost Almost hitting the ceiling.

The distance between their long weapons was the limit, and a cauldron was carried to them.

About five hundred kilograms, it was placed directly in front of the main seat.

"When you reach the back of this cauldron, you must not cross it, otherwise the spear and halberd will not have eyes."

After Qingyan warned, he hugged Xin Qu and went down.

He needs to be responsible for the security outside.

Xinqu didn't say a word, he just arranged his clothes casually and looked at Zeyu: "Sit down, don't be too formal."

"Yes……"

The patriarch’s momentum is overflowing!Zeyu felt as if he had just met the patriarch of the Su family.

If Xinqu hadn't been young, his momentum would have been a bit weaker, but the feeling of suffocation was exactly the same!
The elders also held their breath.

Don't dare to make any changes.

Zhou Si sat down next to Zeyu and said softly: "Is this really Xinqu? Why do I feel the same as meeting your uncle?"

Zeyu nodded: "Don't feel it, it's just that kind of touch. It seems we have to make a choice, either move back south or be moved away."

"This..." Zhou Si tensed up, and the elder on Zeyu's side quickly served wine, and then brought some meat dumplings and leek dumplings, as well as some orange peels dried and cut into strips.

That’s right, it’s tangerine peel!
The tangerine peel is added with salt and dried to become tangerine peel. Then when it is ready, it is soaked in wine and drank with the wine to enhance the aroma of the wine.

The soaked tangerine peel can also be eaten as an appetizer.

This is Su’s way of eating in the south.

In addition, their wine-selling vessel is rather special, that is, it uses a gourd, which is half a dried gourd in slices.

It seems that gourds are not grown here in Changping yet, but they can be introduced.

Xinqu was not surprised by the appearance of gourds, because there was still a market for this stuff in the south, but the seeds were controlled and many tribes never sold seeds to outsiders.

After all, cucurbits are treasures that contribute greatly to human diets and are also important sources of fruits and vegetables. Many tribes rely on these to survive, and they cannot easily sell them to outsiders.

And there are many tribes that worship gourds, especially the tribes in the south.

Those that taste sweet are called gourds.

Those that taste bitter are called 鏏.

At the same time, because gourds can be made into water storage containers after drying, it is also the origin of the Chinese character "kettle".

The origin of Pangu may also come from gourd, because one of Pangu's early names included "奭焠", where 奭 is the tongjie of Pan, and "甠" is the gourd.

Gourds are a very important crop in China, competing with bamboo and grains.

Xin Qu took a sip to quench his thirst, then looked at the crowd and prepared to speak.

Zhou Si suddenly interrupted and said: "By the way, Qu, the elder of the clan named Si just sent me a letter, saying that he was preparing to arrange the marriage between Bing Jia and Qing Ji. Are you also a matchmaker today?"

Xinqu paused, while Zeyu breathed a sigh of relief. Zhousi suddenly interrupted, so he had time to react and the atmosphere was not so bad.

Fortunately, Zhou Si was able to carry it away, otherwise there would have been a lot of trouble later.
