Cows and horses are livestock that have been protected by all dynasties. Even if they are your own, you cannot kill them casually. The Song Dynasty Xingtong clearly stipulates that killing your own horses and cows requires seventeen canes. (Baidu search found that this is just a general rule. Just like the liquor system, privately brewing distiller's yeast in the mainland is punishable by death, but it is fine in the border areas. What's more, Xingwen Village is not a state or county, it belongs to the border areas. On the other hand, noble officials also often ate beef because of their privilege of paying for their sins. During the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Renzong ordered that the second generation of officials who were caught eating beef should not be punished. , Henan Province was prosperous and prosperous, and Zhao Ji himself set up a cattle ranch in Bianliang to raise "sacrifice cattle". It was nominally used for celebrations such as offering sacrifices to heaven, but in reality, Jiang Chong had no idea what was going on. You can understand it if you keep the decree in mind. Jiang Chong asked: "Are the cattle sold from Guangnan West Road?" Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian and Shu all produce cattle, but the price of farm cattle in Shu is higher. Xingwenzhai is close to Guangxi, and Guangxi. Cattle are not only plentiful, but also cheap. Each one only costs ten guan of copper coins. Inland cattle usually cost ten guan of copper coins. Yu Wenbai shook his head: "Most of them are Guizhou cattle. Not only the Bo people raise cattle, but also all the Yi tribes in the southwest." Jiang Chong smacked his lips and said: "No wonder, there are few fields and many cattle. How can we not eat? I wonder if there is a good cook" In the guest post in Gui Laizhou, Wang Chong was also smacking his lips. He complained: "It's time for you two to practice your cooking skills. Girls need to be able to enter the hall and work in the kitchen." The table was filled with delicacies and game, but they were cooked improperly, making it difficult for both Wang Chong and Wang Shiyi to swallow. But the Bo guards ate so much that their mouths were full of oil. Luo Canniang, who pretended to be a good girl, revealed her true colors and snorted: "You want to go to the battlefield? Your requirements for women are really high!" But Li Yinyue sighed. She heard this nonsense a long time ago, and there was another sentence after it: "Those things should be discussed with Xianglian Yulian!" Wang Chong was still thinking of teasing, but Wang Shiyi was worried: "The Ghost Master of the Luo family. How will you respond? If you offend them, it will harm the future of Xingwen Village and Erlang in the big way, and it will harm our lives in the small way. "In order to ensure safety, Wang Chong not only brought him with him on this trip. Wang Shiyi, two "personal guards" and eighty Bo people were enough to guard against thieves, but it would be easy for the Luo Yi people to deal with them. It's hard to say, but it will be different when we come, don't worry" When it comes to business, Luo Canniang said dissatisfiedly: "The Luo Ghost Country is not our Bo people. It has not been under the control of the government since ancient times. That Sun Yat-sen is a little crazy if he wants to make meritorious deeds. "Wang Chong said with a smile: "As a woman of the Wang family, you have to study hard. If you are unlearned and make jokes when you talk, you will be embarrassed by the Wang family!" Luo Canniang blushed. Just as she was about to say, "I'm not your girl," she saw Li Yinyue pouting and turning her head to the side, with a hesitant look on her face, and then changed her words: "Why am I so ignorant and incompetent!? When did Luo's Ghost Country come under the government's control? ? " There was a crash. Wang Chong unfolded his fan and started fanning, looking like a playboy: "It's a good thing that you are still relying on the Luo Ghost Country, but you don't even understand their origin" To talk about the Luo Ghost Kingdom, we have to talk about the Kunming Yi, the ancestor of this group of southwestern barbarians. His ancestor, Ximu Zhe, came to Jia'emu in the 31st generation. His Chinese name was Zhuming. He lived together as a clan and was named Luoyi. The mountain he lived in was Luoyi Mountain. Yiyu Yitongye was also named Luoye Baizhu. Zhu Ming gave birth to six sons, named the Sixth Patriarch of the Yi people. Developing from western Yunnan to all directions, the six-son Mujiji clan moved to eastern Yunnan and western Guizhou. These are the ancestors of Luo's ghost country. There is a characteristic of the Luo Yi people. They take their father's name and surname and pass it down from generation to generation. Mu Jiji's son was named Ji Huo, and his name was recorded in history. "At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the barbarians in the southwestern region attached themselves to the imperial court, and the imperial court established counties and cities there, and named their leaders as marquises and governors. Although it was only in name, it was considered to be under the control of the government. That wasalmost a thousand What happened years ago, why do you call the people of the Song Dynasty Han people? It¡¯s because the government of the Han Dynasty has conquered the world. Thinking about it, we, the descendants, feel ashamed of our ancestors.¡± With emotion, Wang Chong continued to explain: "You should know Meng Huo. He is the grandson of Meng Yayong, the second son of Jiaomeu, a Yi of the Luo clan. He rebelled, and his uncle Ji Huo donated food and roads to Zhuge Liang. Meng Huo was pacified. After winning, Zhuge Liang named him the King of Luodian. This was the origin of the Luo Ghost Kingdom. "The branch of Jihuo has been in Dongchuan in eastern Yunnan, and it was passed down to Yi Wengzhe in the 19th generation, which was Qiliang in the Five Dynasties. period. Yi Wengzhe's three sons expanded outward and divided into three branches. The eldest son Atai and the second son A Lun are facing the southeast, and the youngest son A Na is facing the northeast. At this time, the land of Yunnan and Guizhou was mostly occupied by the Yi people with the surname Cuan Zan, and was known as Cuanman in history. After Cuan Zan died, his two sons were divided into East Cuan and Xicuan. A fire-fighting one??Tai and Alun are attached to Dongcuan. Because most of these two tribes wear black clothes, they are called Wuman and call themselves the Violent Man tribe. There are six more tribes in the Jihuo branch, also called Wuman, totaling seven tribes. During the Yuanfeng period, Qi Di rebelled. This Qi Di was a Wuman, a descendant of Ji Huo. The Violent Barbarians are the most powerful in Wuman, but the Analu Deer Tribe passed down by Ana, the youngest son of Yi Wengzhe, gradually rises, develops to the southwest, and becomes one with the Violent Barbarians. During the Sui Dynasty, Dongcuan declined and Baoman took its place. This Wuman tribe worships evil ghosts. Hundreds of families in the tribe elect a small ghost master. The elder who presides over sacrifices is the ghost master. The leaders of the various tribes of the violent barbarians are called the big ghost masters. Their tribes call themselves Luo Kingdom, and the big leader is called Luo King. Although he is a descendant of Ji Huo, he is different from Luo Dianguo, who is a direct descendant of Ji Huo. Wang Shiyi, Li Yinyue and Luo Canniang were dizzy after hearing this: "Is this the origin of the Luo clan ghost kingdom?" Wang Chong shook his head: "It's not over yet" By the Five Dynasties, the Luo clan barbarians in Jihuo had three independent forces. , the Luo Dian Kingdom, the Luo Kingdom built by the barbarians of the Atai Alun tribe, and the Lu Lu tribe of Ana. The Luo Dian Kingdom is in northern Yunnan, the Lu Lu Tribe is in eastern Yunnan, and the Luo Kingdom of the Baoman Tribe is in western Guizhou. At the end of the Five Dynasties, Sun Nazhi, the 45th generation of the direct line of Jihuo, invaded Juzhou (Guiyang) from the southeast and asked his son Ruozang to guard it. During the Qiande period of the Song Dynasty, Emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty, Ruozang offered gifts and surrendered. In the seventh year of Kaibao's reign, Ruozang asked his son Pugui to present land from Juzhou to the court, and the court appointed Pugui as the governor of Juzhou. In the native language, "Ju" and "Gui" have the same pronunciation. The imperial court wrote in the imperial edict, "Only Guizhou, far away from the wilderness", which gave rise to the name "Guizhou", but the document still wrote "Juzhou Governor". During the reign of Renzong. The 51st descendant of Jihuo, Akuo'ehu, requested the restoration of Yaozhou, and the imperial court granted him the title of Yaozhou Governor. When Ehuang's grandson Ze'e came to the throne, the direct line of Luo's Ghost Kingdom in the south had been eliminated, so Ze'e stole the name Luo's Ghost Kingdom, and the Lulu tribe became Luo's Ghost Kingdom. "Although there are still divisions into different branches, the current Luo Dian Kingdom is not the Luo Dian Kingdom that was granted the title during the Three Kingdoms. However, the Luo clan Yi people can be roughly regarded as two parts. The Luo clan ghost kingdom is dealing with us in the east, and the Luo clan ghost kingdom is attached to the west. Luo Dianguo of Dali Kingdom." The eyes of the three people began to lose focus. Wang Chong made a brief summary with compassion. Luo Canniang and Li Yinyue's eyes were full of admiration. They recalled Wang Chong's teasing before and lowered their heads. They were embarrassed by the sudden sweetness in their hearts. He knows everything about astronomy and geography, and he knows everything about history and people. He is a handsome young man with both civil and military skills. Serving such a person, even though he has no fame or wealth, I don't know how many women in the world would envy them. Wang Shiyi wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked: "Erlang, how do you know these things?" Without waiting for Wang Chong to answer, he patted his forehead again and said: "Book! The ancient book you have read!" Since he He just made up his mind, so Wang Chong didn't explain it. The historical evolution of the Luo Yi people was not summarized until much later. Earlier ancient books also talked about it roughly. How did he know these things? That's a combination of opportunity and hard work. When he first met Bu Le in the Wheel Binding Store, he was very curious about where Bu Le's ambition came from and whether it was backed by the Luo Ghost Kingdom behind him. Bu Le followed his tone and threatened with lies, saying that it was indeed the case. Wang Chong also climbed up the pole and took out from his mouth the names of several Bo people who had close contacts with Luo's Ghost Country. ????????????????????????????????????? There are many Bo people in the back wheel, so I have different intentions. Wang Chong became more wary of Luo's Ghost Country. Whenever he met Bo people and barbarians, he would ask about Luo's Ghost Country. By the time it became clear that Luo's ghost country was clearly separate from the Bo people in Luzhou, and they had no intention and inability to intervene, a wealth of information had been accumulated. Based on this information, Sun Xisou's attempt to return to the state was a big joke in Wang Chong's eyes. However, if it is done properly, it is not difficult to earn face, and Wang Chong is here for this purpose. The Luo clan¡¯s ghost country is a genus of Chang Gong Yi, but its relationship with the imperial court is only in name only. The Luo Ghost Kingdom has inherited Luo's millennium heritage and has always maintained a state of aloofness from the central court. The response of various branches and ethnic groups in Yunnan, Guizhou, Guizhou and other places has made the big ghost master very anxious. With the power structure continued by blood and the Dongdun organization that is similar to a feudal system, the rule of this area has reached its limit, and it is no longer possible to expand outwards. ?Similarly, the imperial court also regarded this area with dense mountains and foreign ethnic groups as a place that was difficult to rule, and had no intention of "leading barbarians into China." Gui Laizhou was the product of this tacit understanding between the two sides. In the early Song Dynasty, some Wu barbarians who were dissatisfied with the Luo family's ghost kingdom offered their lands and annexed them, thus creating the Gui Lai Prefecture. During the Yuanfeng period, the Wuman leader Qi Di was ambitious and invaded the land of the Bo people, causing great chaos. After the imperial court negotiated for peace, the land was handed over to the Luoshi Ghost Kingdom for "trusteeship", and Huihui Prefecture became a special zone shared by both parties. Although Sun Xisou was interested in Gui Lai Prefecture, Wang Chong still didn't know what his specific goal was. He guessed that he would follow the example of the Zunyi Army in eastern Guizhou and establish a military rule in Gui Lai Prefecture, so that he could demonstrate his achievements in opening up borders. Zhao Yun pacified the rebellion in Yanzhou, expanded the territory for two thousand miles, and moved from Zhimi Pavilion to Longtuge Pavilion to become the Zhixueshi, as a rule, if you go out, you have to become a bachelor again. Because of his role in accompanying the army, Sun Xisou was awarded the title of Jixian Xiuzhuan, and he was one step away from being a bachelor. After returning to the state to set up an army, it would at least expand the territory for thousands of miles. Even if he could not become Sun Longtu, he could still climb up to the waiting system and become an attendant. " Just doing this will definitely alarm the big ghost master of Luo's ghost country. There is already Zunyi Army in the northeast, and the Tian family to the north of Zunyi Army is closely attached to the imperial court. Now that the army is directly established in the north, the purpose of targeting is too strong, and it is easy to create a big trap. If it were before the Shenzong Dynasty, Wang Chong would not be worried. Although there were party disputes in the DPRK, they could still discuss matters. Sun Xisou's policy faced great resistance and was difficult to implement. But in this dynasty, the monarch and his ministers were united and committed stupid things one after another. Who knows who in the dynasty was so enthusiastic that they fully supported Sun Xisou and started a war between Guizhou and Guizhou! ? With the situation evolving to this point, Wang Chong felt that he had some responsibility. The settlement of Xingwen Village was so smooth that Sun Xisou felt a little restless. Visiting the return state in person is also a way to wipe your own ass. Of course, it would also be nice to earn extra benefits. ??Speak of welfare, welfare comes, a group of warblers and swallows flocked into the post house. Although Huihui Prefecture is sandwiched between mountains and long rivers, remote and desolate, it is a lawless place for the imperial court and Luo's ghost country. There was quite a bit of excitement. Pang Gan, who was supervising this place, was the concubine of King Luo. Wang Chong came here in the name of discussing business, so Pang Gan was happy not to show up for the time being, and found a beautiful woman to find out his true purpose. "It's a pity that your natural beauty has been ruined by vulgar makeup. And the silk skirts you are wearing are not even looked down upon by the gatekeepers in Shu. Call your employer. I will talk to him about business." Although the girl who came here is from a foreigner, her appearance is very good. Yi girls are less burdened with etiquette than Han girls. They put on Han clothes, and their charm is really exciting. Li Yinyue and Luo Canniang were angry. Wang Chong said this, which swept away the hearts of the Yi girls and made these two "Yi girls" feel sweeter. It's not like this guy's legs get weak when he sees beautiful women. "Master Wang, are you really here to discuss business?" Pangan finally showed up and asked immediately. He still didn't believe it: "Our Luo country has poor products and dangerous roads. We can't even find anything to pay tribute to, so we just pay tribute with some bronze drums and mountain things. How can we do business with you?" This person who has the name of the Ghost Lord of Return State The middle-aged Yi chieftain had paid tribute with the regiment many times and was a frequent visitor to Bianliang. He speaks Chinese fluently and is familiar with related matters. His words were full of disbelief, but he was eager to see Wang Chong, naturally with a trace of luck. I have seen the wealth of the mainland. Squatting in the mountains, naturally unwilling to be lonely. No matter how powerful you are. Life is not as good as that of a small landowner in the mainland. There is nothing we can do about it. The land where Luo Kingdom is located is such that the sun cannot be seen when looking up, and the ground is not even three feet flat. Whether it is property or commerce, they are all subject to environmental constraints, making life really hard. Pangan¡¯s mentality is shared by the upper echelons of the Luo Kingdom and even the King of Luo. The reality is that it is difficult to find a good solution, and the ethnic group has already passed the pioneering period. They can only live day by day and hit the clock, and they are already numb. Now that Wang Chong said that he could open up the situation in this matter, it was just a lie, and Pang Gan also wanted to listen. Wang Chong said: "Your land of the Luo Kingdom is not a vast desert. There are many products. It depends on whether you can find them correctly. Are the roads difficult? As long as there are long-term benefits, there will naturally be merchants to open the way. The affairs of the Song Dynasty and the Luo Kingdom are too big. The two of us can't talk about it, but we can decide the exchanges between Hui Laizhou and Xingwen Village. Xingwen Village is short of food, cattle and sheep, and tens of thousands of people. Hui Laizhou is only for a thousand people. The business can earn thousands of dollars a year" Wang Chong drew a huge pancake, which made Pang Gan open his mouth and couldn't close it for a long time. Wang Chong means that Guilai Prefecture and Xingwen Village will be closely connected and serve as a trade gateway for both sides. Guilaizhou imported mainland goods to Luo State through Xingwenzhai, while Xingwenzhai absorbed goods from Luo State through Guilaizhou. To achieve such cooperation, in addition to repairing roads and building checkpoints and other hardware projects, we must also formulate trade policies that are conducive to the exchanges between merchants from both sides. "In short, let us have the reality of a dispute between the two places, but not the name of a dispute." Wang Chong said it beautifully, but it was hard to believe it. Wang Chong could not convince him of what Luo Country could produce. "Then I'll tell you straight. Just keep it in mind, Lord Ghost. The Luo State has copper, lead and tin, especially copper. I understand that if you produce less, it's just because you don't follow the law. What if you let people from the mainland teach you? You produce less, and Dali produces more. You can make a lot of money by trafficking it through Luo Dianguo. " "The journey is difficult? As long as the copper can be exchanged for silk, porcelain, tea, salt, or even iron, it doesn't matter what the copper looks like. " Being pushed tighter by Pangan, Wang Chong said these words in a covert manner. Pangan's eyes suddenly lit up. There was a huge hint in these wordscast copper coins! He suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked covertly: "Will the imperial court take care of it?" Wang Chong smiled: "That's why I asked the ghost master to persuade King Luo to give the court some face in the name of returning to the state. With this face, this matter will be put on the table in the future, and everyone can talk easily, so as not to worry about it. There was a misunderstanding." Looking at the white teeth in Wang Chong's mouth, Pangan sneered: "It turns out that he came as a lobbyist for Sun Fu!" The envoy, Luo Kingdom, was already on alert, fearing that this was a move against Luo Kingdom. Later, Sun Fu from Lunan seemed to be interested in returning to the state, and he already knew about it by beating around the bush. When Wang Chong came to Huizhou, Pang Gan was worried that he was the envoy sent by Sun Yasuo, but he didn't expect that he only talked about business. Just as a piece of picture cake whetted his appetite, the topic turned back again, and it turned out to be about this matter. Wang Chong shook his head and said: "Sun Fu's lobbyist will not beat around the bush like this. In the first sentence, he will ask, where is the lost time!?" Pangan's face turned whiter, and the lost room was in his hands. This man was brave and knew what was going on in Lunan, so he fled to Guilaizhou and joined him, and he accepted him on the spot. If the imperial court is really interested in returning to the state, this person can also be used as a card. But I didn¡¯t expect that this card would also harm me. No, even if I didn¡¯t pinch it, this was a card of the imperial court. At that time, the beggar brother caused a rebellion, but the officers and soldiers failed to conquer him. They also assigned the Guihui State to the Luo State. It seemed that the Luo State was benefiting, but could it be that the imperial court used this person's place as a card to be used in the future? Look, let's do it now. "Send the lost time, present the printed records of the returned state, and ask the court to give him another state governor, and Sun Fufu will be considered successful. Don't worry, there is no military state or county supervisor in Xingwen Village under my jurisdiction. When I return to the state, I will appoint you as a real official at most." Wang Chong also showed his trump card, and Pangan's face twisted: "Officer, can I trust you?" It was Wang Chong's turn to sneer: "You have a choice, you can try it. I'll go and write to Sun Yao." Pang Gan lowered his head and sighed, "But I only care about Hui Laizhou. King Luo will have other concerns about such a big matter" Wang Chong said, "You are in charge of Gui Laizhou, just like I am in charge of Xingwen Village. Can you keep your word in Xingwen Village? "This is also a hint, implying that he is keeping a close eye on the affairs of Guizhou, and uses this as a basis to gain the right to speak on this matter. For a moment, Pang Gan was hesitant. Half of his heart was hot because of the pie that Wang Chong had drawn, and half of him was cold because the matter was too important. He almost risked his life and fortune. In Jiang'an County, the original official office of the envoy accompanying the army was converted into the temporary official office of the Department of Appeasement. Sun Xisou was at his desk giving instructions when he opened a letter from Xingwen Village. After a brief look, his expression suddenly changed. "Wang Chong, that kid!" Sun Xisou was shocked. This was a letter from Wang Chong, saying that he knew that Annuo was interested in returning to the state, so he took the initiative to go to the returning state to inquire about the situation. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out that he is passionate about fame, or is he too stubborn and too straightforward, only knows loyalty! ? When his boss revealed something, he went to great lengths to do something, even taking great risks? For a moment, Sun Xisou felt that he did not understand Wang Chong thoroughly.
