When Fang Dangjun heard that Yan Ming had become the chief of various ministries in Weizhou, how could he not be moved? **What's more, 80% of the men of the Fangdang tribe were trapped on Huanqing Road, with no food and grass, and it was very likely that they had been captured by the Han. Without these men, the Fangdang tribe would disappear.
Whether it was to save his life now or to save his house and become a tribe later, he had no choice.
"Okay, then I'll trouble you to report back to General Lu, and my troops will submit to Daliang. It's getting late today, so let me prepare some gifts, and I will personally take them to see General Lu tomorrow."
Just as Lang Yanyan was about to speak, a guard from the Fangdang tribe hurried in, walked to Fangdangjun, and whispered in his ear.
Seeing the strangeness of the guard's arrival, Lang Yanming listened intently, but the guard's voice was very low. He and Fang Dangjun were five or six feet apart, but he couldn't hear what the guard said.
The guard just said a brief sentence and stood up.
Fang Dangjun¡¯s expression changed and he said, ¡°Wang Shu Renli is here with his troops. Let me go out to greet him.¡±
Lang Yanyan¡¯s first reaction was that he was afraid that Fang Dangjun would change his mind and offer him to Renli. His face just changed, but he thought of the news he heard from Lu Junyi before, and said with a smile: "Xianggong Zhong, the old manager of the Western Army, led a Liang army to attack Lingzhou. I don't know whether Renli was defeated and fled here, or he got wind of it. And escaped."
Fang Dangjun said: "Please tell General Lu that our troops' surrender to Daliang will not change. I will have someone send you out first. Once Renli's troops leave, I will go to see General Lu."
Lang Nianyan was not shaken when he saw the house, but he was also overjoyed. He stood up and was about to leave. Suddenly, his heart moved and he said: "I'm afraid I will be intercepted by Renli soldiers and horses if I go out at this time. The clan leader asked me to take me to other places to hide. It won¡¯t be too late for me to leave until late at night.¡±
Fang Dangjun nodded and said: "It's true that I was negligent, so please ask the leader of the Langhe clan to be aggrieved for a while."
After saying that, he turned around and said to the guard who reported the news: "Take the leader of the Langya clan to your place to rest and treat him well."
"yes"
Nang Nangyan followed the guard out of Fang Tojun's house and headed towards the low earthen house at the back.
The Fangdang tribe has been guarding the salt pond all year round. They no longer live in pursuit of water and grass, so they no longer live in tents, but in houses built with earth and stone. Fang Dangjun's house is no less luxurious than the mansions of powerful people in the Central Plains. However, ordinary people in the tribe live in low mud houses.
The guards took Lang Nianyan to his house and asked the women at home to entertain him with the best wine and food.
Not long after, the town where the Fangdang tribe lived became noisy.
Because 80% of the men of the tribe left for the expedition, hunting became easier for the remaining people. There were still two wild birds shot on the salt lake at the guard's house.
The woman¡¯s cooking skills are not bad either. The dishes were all delicious and delicious, but Nanai Iwana didn't know how to taste them. The wine they drank was also fruit wine brewed by Xixia itself. Xixia wine has also been famous for a long time. When Xixia paid tribute to the Song Dynasty and Liao Dynasty, Xixia wine was also an indispensable item.
Overall, the tribes with salt ponds are much wealthier than other tribes.
"Come, have a bowl."
Lang Nianyan raised his wine bowl. Had a bowl with the guard.
The guard gave Lang Nianyan another bowl and said with a smile: "The leader of Lang Nian and Daliang soldiers have been away for many days. They should have heard a lot about Daliang. Can you tell me about it and let me know? experience."
Although Nang Nianyan had no intention of talking to the guard. But being short-tongued, he couldn't refuse directly. He smiled and said, "I marched with them for only two days, and I arrived in Yanzhou on the third day. I came all the way. Most of the time, I took people to check if there was anything in front of me. The Yanzhou garrison didn't spend much time with them. I just listened to them talk about the prince and General Lu."
The guard¡¯s eyes lit up. He said: "It is said that the Prince of Daliang is a god who descended to earth and is victorious in every battle. I don't know what amazing deeds the Prince has done that makes people say this."
Lang Nianyan said with a smile: "That's too much. I just met a trainer named Lin from the 800,000 Imperial Guards in Tokyo. I heard that he was framed by a traitor and his wife was detained in Tokyo by the traitor. So he traveled thousands of miles and broke into Tokyo alone. , rescued the coach's wife. Then he defeated a nine-foot-tall man in Dongyue Mountain, won the first place in wrestling, and gave away a lot of loot to the people. Then he rebelled in Liangshan and defeated many Han generals. There are also endless stories about pulling out trees as ladders, making a big fuss in Tokyo, and then defeating Liao and Xixia. Storytellers in the Central Plains are telling these stories now. When you go to the Central Plains, you will spend a few pennies. You can hear it.¡±
The guard said: "What the leader said is that I heard that in the Central Plains, there are singing, sumo wrestling, shadow puppetry, storytelling, acrobatics, and students talking nonsense all day and night. If you can go to the Central Plains and be happyOne day, it's worth selling all the family property. "
When the woman waiting on the side heard this, she couldn't help but rolled her eyes at the guard and said, "You go and have a good time, while my child and I drink from the northwest wind."
The guard smiled and said: "Of course I will take you with me."
The woman on the side ignored her daydreaming husband and said to Lang Yanyan: "Has the leader been to the Central Plains?"
Lang Yanyan famously said: "A few years ago, I went to Huanzhou with businessmen from the Central Plains. There are also tiles in Huanzhou, but there are only singers, sumo wrestlers, storytellers, and acrobatics performers. Going further inland, there are more Lots of programs.¡±
Hearing this, the guard immediately said: "How about it, can it make people forget everything?"
Nani Iwana nodded and said: "It's really good-looking, especially the kicking. The performer lies on the table and can spin bottles and plates on his feet and kick them around. I heard that the performers in Tokyo, each toe I can spin the bottle. If I didn¡¯t miss the people in the tribe, I wouldn¡¯t come back.¡±
The guard said: "It costs a lot to go to Wazi, right?"
Langyou Yanming smiled and said: "Wazi in Huanzhou costs 20 cents to enter. Buying food inside is much more expensive than outside. If you perform well, you may or may not be rewarded. I heard that Wazi in Tokyo has entrance fees." It only costs 200 yuan, but I heard from the Han people that there are no seats at Wazi in Tokyo, so I think the performance will be better."
The guard was stunned and said: "Why is it so expensive?"
Lang Yanyan said with a smile: "I heard that people with good skills in Wazili can earn as much as a thousand hectares of farmland in a year."
The guard said: "The life of the Han people is so happy, unlike us who drive cattle and sheep and farm fields every day, and our only pastime is hunting."
The woman said: "You only want to be happy. Do you have as much money as a Han Chinese? Once you arrive in Tokyo, I guarantee that you will have to sell me and my child for money within a few days."
The guard said awkwardly: "Don't talk nonsense. I am much stronger than the Han people. They can live a living, so I should make more money than them."
The woman ruthlessly attacked her husband¡¯s idea of ??moving to the Central Plains, mockingly saying: ¡°Han people can make porcelain and forge iron, but what can you do?¡±
The guard said: "Not all Han people have craftsmanship. There are many Han people robbed by the tribe who can only farm."
The woman seemed to be very afraid of going to a strange place, and said reluctantly: "Farming is also a skill. The Han people harvest two stones from one acre, but you can't even harvest one stone from one acre. If you own land, you will starve to death sooner or later." , not to mention you don¡¯t have land. You can only graze cattle and sheep. The Central Plains is full of fertile land. There is no pasture for you to graze cattle and sheep. If you go to the Central Plains, you will starve to death sooner or later.¡±
"Snapped"
Hearing the woman¡¯s ruthless words, the guard raised his hand and slapped her in the face, scolding: ¡°You woman, you have no right to speak when I¡¯m talking to the leader.¡±
The guard was also furious because his dream was shattered. He slapped the woman with great force, and a slap mark immediately appeared on the woman's face.
The woman covered her face, opened her mouth and began to cry. Although her words were unforgiving, she did not dare to resist. To a certain extent, Dangxiang people can fall in love freely and even die in love, but usually men are superior to women, which is similar to the situation in the Central Plains.
Lang Yanyan couldn't help but frown when he heard the woman's howling covering up the sounds outside.
When the guard saw this, he scolded: "Shut your mouth. If you cry again, I will lock you in the sheepfold and spend the night."
The woman was obviously afraid that the guard would actually do this, so she immediately covered her mouth and did not dare to make a sound.
"I'm used to being casual at home, so don't be offended, Chief."
Lang Yanyan smiled and said: "It's okay, but I talk too much, which made you quarrel."
The guard glared at his wife again and said, "That woman is too talkative. How dare you blame the leader?"
Lang Yanyan said with a smile: "In fact, after Daliang destroyed Xixia, the Han people will definitely open tiles in various states. Then we don't need to go to the Central Plains, we can watch the theater in the nearby state capital."
Hearing this, the guard said happily: "What the leader said is that there has never been a shortage of Han people in Yanzhou to do business, but there is no shortage of those who can speak and sing."
Lang Yanyan nodded and said: "In the past, when the two countries were at war, those who dared to come to Yanzhou were private businessmen from the Central Plains. Those who have skills and skills would be willing to take risks on the border. The border is the Dazhou Prefecture with tiles, and the smaller ones are The people in the forts did not take risks. Xixia plundered many forts and only occasionally snatched a few singers. However, we will all return to Daliang in the future. As long as we have money, the Han people will definitely come. Open the tiles.¡±
The guard nodded and said: "The leaders of each tribe have huge wealth, so there must be many people going to Wazi. They will definitely make money by opening Wazi here."
Most of the wealth of each tribe is concentrated in the leader's family, especially the big tribes, because the big tribes have more wealth. On the contrary?Small tribes don¡¯t have much property, and some small tribes have a hard time surviving, and their leaders are not much better than others.
Lang Yanyan said with a smile: "Although the tribal leaders are rich, they are small in number after all. And after the imperial court takes over the salt pond, I am afraid that some leaders will move to the Central Plains. It mainly depends on the ordinary people, but after the world is unified, we will make money It will be easier. Without the war, there will be more merchants here, and the price of our livestock fur and herbs will be much higher than that on Huanqing Road. "
The guard said happily: "As long as we have money, people in our tribe will be willing to spend money. I believe that there will be Han people coming to open tiles by then."
