Farmer of Shu Han

Li Xuejian's home, or the place where his wife and children live, is actually within the scope of Dahe Workshop.

However, there is a specially designated living area for school staff and their families.

The house is a big red brick house with two entrances and two exits.

There are all kinds of stoves and kangs, and there is free coal supply in winter.

The wife and children are hot on the kang, and there are orchids in good food and clothing.

It's a good day to live.

At least it is many times better than the days when I got up early and was sent to a place like Yuejuanbian County, where I had to do everything myself, and I was always threatened by wild animals.

No, after turning a corner, I saw a woman standing at the gate of my compound, looking forward to it.

Seeing Supervisor Li, the woman raised her eyebrows and greeted her:

"Alang is back?"

"Well, didn't you tell the servants that I will be back later?"

The woman speaks Chinese very fluently, but if you listen carefully, you can hear that the intonation is occasionally a little strange, with Hu Yin.

This is not surprising. The Han people living in the frontier fortress all year round will unconsciously pick up some habits unique to the frontier fortress.

But the woman's voice is soft and soft, which makes people feel more comfortable:

"I always have to see A Lang to feel at ease."

Her mother is a native of Jiuyuan.

At that time, Cao Cao completely abandoned the land of Jiuyuan and moved all the Han and Hu to Taiyuan and other places.

There are always some people who will continue to stay on this vast prairie for one reason or another.

Not to mention the turmoil in the Central Plains in the past few decades. I don’t know how many Han women or their families fled outside the Great Wall to avoid the disaster of war.

Some Hu people from the frontier fortress ran away to the interior to plunder, and some Han women had to live outside the fortress.

Cai Wenji, a famous talented woman in history, whose family background can be described as prominent, was not also captured by the Huns to Hudi?

It's just that Li Xuejian's aunt was obviously not as lucky as Cai Wenji, and she couldn't return to the Central Plains in the end, so she could only commit herself to the leader of a small tribe.

If the original course of history is followed, the wife of Li Xuejian will also marry a Hu man and give birth to a Hu man.

Then the descendants will gradually become completely barbarians.

But fortunately, there is an extra soil turtle that crossed illegally on this historical line.

Li Xuejian's uncle from a barbarian did not move in with the crowd in the early years, but in the end he was annexed by Ke Bineng who came to Jiuyuan to lick his wounds.

At that time, Ke Bineng was defeated by Qin Lang, and the people under him fled, left, and rebelled, which can be said to be greatly injured.

In order to win people's hearts, he was not too demanding on the tribes on Jiuyuan.

So this small tribe changed, from Huns to Xianbei.

Unexpectedly, in a few years, Feng will lead the Han army through Jiuyuan, and the rest of the matter will be very clear.

Whether it is the Xianbei people, or the former Xiongnu and post-Xianbei people, some of the elite Hu people on Jiuyuan were burned to ashes by Feng in Qiaoshan.

The remaining part, Feng Guiwang didn't intend to let it go, he even rushed back from Qiaoshan to lead the army to kill the grass and roots.

In this battle, almost all the young and strong members of Li Xuejian's uncle's small grass tribe were killed or injured.

If the Han army hadn't dispatched officials in time to stabilize the situation in Jiuyuan, there would have been only a few tribes of old, weak, women and children left, and they would have had to exterminate the tribe on the spot.

But, in fact, it is not much different from extermination.

Fortunately, the Xiongnu had the tradition of the Yan family in power, so Aunt Li Xuejian, who took over the tribe, decided to take refuge with the Han people the next moment.

I don't know if anyone in the clan is willing, but they are facing the Han army with the prestige of a great victory.

As well as the group of vicious dogs under the command of the Han army - Hu Qi Yicong holding a bright saber - surely no one would dare to stand up and say a word at this time.

A tribe whose patriarch was a Han woman took the initiative to come to seek refuge. For Liu Liang, Xu Xun and others who stayed in Jiuyuan at that time, it was a good start.

So naturally it was taken as an example.

After that, there is no need to say more.

The Jiuyuan Governor's Mansion was established and the Dahe Workshop School was set up. Li Ming, who passed the Liangzhou exam, was transferred from Liangzhou to Jiuyuan to serve as the supervisor of the Dahe Workshop School.

One day, Li Xuejian, who was taking a walk by the river to enjoy the beautiful scenery of "Sunset over the Long River", suddenly heard the sound of the Han family singing Hu Yin not far away.

Looking curiously, I saw a shepherd woman bathed in golden brilliance, gently waving the sheep whip in her hand, up and down, up and down, like a heavy blow on his heart...

Still the same sentence, living in the frontier fortress all year round, no matter who it is, will more or less acquire some frontier fortress habits.

Over the years, Li Xuejian, from Yuexie to Liangzhou, and then to Jiuyuan, has seen countless things where Han, Yi, Han, and even Yi and Hu were mixed.

Among other things, the fact that the surnamed Feng took the lead and married a barbarian girl as a concubine, and even the imperial court gave the barbarian girl a name, was enough to set an extremely bad example for the people below.

Before Li Ming left Yuejuan, he had heard about how many poor people who could not afford a wife followed Xinghanhui to grow tea and sugar cane in Nanzhong.

It doesn't matter if you can't afford to marry a Han girl, anyway, a barbarian girl will pay you back!

Marry a wife and take a concubine, have children and raise daughters, and live happily.

When he came to Liangzhou, he saw with his own eyes how Hu Nu tried every means to marry those soldiers and warriors.

After all, the government's policy promotion, coupled with the wealth of these soldiers and warriors, is really too attractive to Hu Nu.

Originally, Superintendent Li had once viciously despised and even cast aside such beastly chaos.

Di Yi, animals also.

Isn't this a beast chaos?

It's just that as the supervisor of Dahe Workshop, it is normal for the government to send two orchids to take care of the daily life so that Supervisor Li can concentrate on teaching, right?

After a long time, Supervisor Li felt that personally educating Hu Nu, in fact... is also our responsibility.

After all, if we really want to pursue it, this is not a precedent created by someone Feng.

For example, after General Fubo, Ma Teng's father, Ma Chao's great father, Ma Ping, did his best to educate Qiang girls.

Only then did the Ma family make great contributions to Ji Han.

If you publicly accuse this, wouldn't that be slapping Ji Han's founding father in the face?

Especially the face of the five tiger generals.

In the evening of this day, Supervisor Li met the shepherdess who made his heart flutter. Coupled with Hu Nu's long-term corruption, he suddenly wanted to learn from his predecessors.

Then the shepherdess not only brought a group of slaves, cattle and sheep as a dowry.

He even carefully selected the two most beautiful orchids from the clan as a dowry.

Li Xuejian, who knows the taste of the marrow, can't help but sigh:

The Han and barbarians are the same, so it is true that the government is benevolent!

"Didn't a new teacher come to the school a few days ago? Seeing him, it seemed like seeing me yesterday, so I found an opportunity to talk to him today. I came back late, which made Xijun worry. .”

Supervisor Li explained as he walked home with his wife.

"A new teacher in the school?" Li Xuejian's wife's eyes lit up slightly, "There are still similarities with A Lang, presumably he must be a good gentleman."

Seeing Xi Jun's appearance, Supervisor Li knew what the other party was thinking, he shook his head and said with a smile:

"I'm talking about the me in the past, not the me now. Although the new teacher is not a direct descendant of the big family."

"But his family has been passed down for at least five hundred years, which is more than a hundred years longer than our Li family in Sichuan."

"Although he has been exiled here, but he has just arrived, and the vigor of a family member has not faded, so it is impossible for him to look up to the women of your clan."

As the son of the same family, Li Xuejian naturally understands Feng Chuan's thoughts best.

Mrs. Li Xuejian heard the words, with a slight disappointment on her face:

"It's a pity."

Then relieved:

"Lang Jun, who can make A Lang look at you differently, presumably has some merits and a bit of vigor, and that's what he should be."

Supervisor Li shook his head again and said with a smile:

"It's just that I don't want him to take detours. If you want to talk about vigor, those gentlemen in green clothes are the real vigor."

To be honest, when Li Ming saw the "Four Sentences of the Academy" for the first time during the class exam, his mind was really shaken, and it couldn't be added.

What shocked him even more was that many of the college students he came into contact with really took these four sentences as their life goals.

That kind of vigorous and high-spirited atmosphere and state, which can even be said to be a little frenzied, sometimes frightens him.

He didn't know how Feng Guiwang did it.

But he finally knew that this person was indeed unparalleled in the world in terms of eloquent words and tricks to seduce people's hearts.

In the early years of Ji Han, under the governance of the prime minister Zhuge Kongming, the officials were clear and bright, and the officials were proud of forgetting their homes when they were in office.

Under the great influence of these two people, to this day, Ji Han is full of high spirits from the imperial government to Cangtou Guishou.

The whole country is showing a vigorous and unstoppable trend.

Therefore, what he said to Feng Chuan, "The situation is unstoppable", was sincere.

Since it can't be stopped, Li Xuejian feels that it is reasonable to follow the general trend.

Anyway, it's not the first time for a large family and aristocratic family to do this.

Persuading Feng Chuan and giving him a hand can be regarded as an explanation to his former self.

"Meet the gentleman."

Stepping into the front yard, the four beautiful orchids guarding the door respectfully saluted the returning Supervisor Li.

Two of them also held a child in their arms.

"rise."

Supervisor Li and his wife walked through the gate together, and the four orchids hurriedly followed.

Several people disappeared in the inner courtyard.

——

Compared with the slight chill in Jiuyuan, Tuoba Xianbei, who was far away in Youzhou and had already started his return journey, had already felt a bit of bone-piercing chill.

After all, the Yinshan Mountains in Jiuyuan block the northwest wind on the grassland, and there is inexhaustible coal.

A small coal stove, adding some charcoal to it, can make a felt tent, or even a house, warm like spring.

Not only warms the body, but also warms the heart.

There is also the wool that can be wrapped around the body to resist white disasters even though it is an unqualified and defective product produced by the wool spinning workshop.

The most important thing is to have sufficient food reserves.

Enough to ensure that everyone will not be starved to death in the coming winter.

For the vast majority of Hu people on the grassland, what else do they want to live such a life?

As far as the north of Youzhou, the Xianbei people who are still looking for the future of their tribe are taking a rest on their way back north to their tribe.

Almost everyone's faces were filled with excitement, and the smiles on their faces had never disappeared since they left Youzhou.

Under the wise leadership of Lord Suotou Tuoba, all the tribes of Xianbei drove cattle, horses, sheep and other livestock to trade with the Wei people, and they returned with a full reward.

It seems that this winter, the number of people who died in the clan will be much less.

"Lord Tuoba is wise!"

"Lord Tuoba is the lord of heroes, please let me be the great Xianbei!"

...

However, amidst these congratulatory voices, some people looked worried.

Tuoba Desert Khan, who rushed over from Changchuan, the place where Suotou lived, went to see Tuoba Liwei before he had time to catch his breath:

"My lord, didn't we say we were going to Pingcheng? Why did we trade with the Wei people in Baitan instead?"

Two years ago, he was ordered to go to Nanxia to investigate the reality of Nanxia.

He once wandered around the borders of Youzhou and Bingzhou, and even had a conversation with a certain nobleman from the Han Dynasty in Pingcheng, and got his advice.

After the conversation with that noble man, seeing that winter was approaching on the grassland, and there were Dou Suhou, Dou Huiti and others who were not in the Luhui tribe on the way, they were always unkind to themselves.

Therefore, Tuoba Desert Khan didn't want to stay for a long time, so he could only hurry back to the tribe and report to his lord Tuoba Liwei.

After listening to his report, Tuoba Liwei had already made a decision to choose friendship with the Han Kingdom between the Han and Wei dynasties.

It was for this purpose that a large number of livestock were driven south this time.

If it is done well, it may be possible to establish a trading channel with Han.

Unexpectedly, my lord set off from Changchuan, instead of going to the southwest, he went to the southeast instead.

How is this different from what you said?

What made Tuoba Desert Khan even more worried was that he heard that the tribesmen led by the lord encountered a war between the Wei army and the pro-Han tribes as soon as they arrived at the Youzhou Pass.

Some people also said that the so-called pro-Han tribes were actually disguised by the Han army.

But no matter what, the Xianbei tribes who obeyed the orders of the adults appeared in such a coincidental place at such a coincident time, and then happened to trade with the Wei people.

It's hard not to think about it.

If Han Guo is misunderstood, it will be troublesome.

So after hearing the news, Tuoba Desert Khan, who had stayed behind in Changchuan, could no longer sit still.

He came here in the name of welcoming the adults, but in fact he was anxious to know the truth of the matter.

"My lord, now that the Han is strong and the Wei is weak, will it be considered that we are not close to the Han but close to the Wei? If we annoy the Han because of this, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to our tribe."

Although Suotou brought many tribes attached to them, most of them were centered in Changchuan, living in the north of the desert, and tried not to be close to the frontier of Nanxia.

But in the past few years, most of the tribes in the south of Changchuan have defected to the Han State and have not intersected with the Wei State.

Even under the instigation of the Han State, they repeatedly harassed the frontiers of Wei State Youzhou.

So some news naturally reached the ears of Xianbei people in the north of the desert.

Although the current goal of the Han people is Wei State Youzhou, they are all focused on the east, and have no intention of going north and deep into the desert.

But once they take Youzhou, then from the westernmost to the easternmost, from Liangzhou to Youzhou, they will all be under their jurisdiction.

At that time, the Great Xianbei tribe in the north of the desert had to contact the Han Kingdom if they wanted to go south.

Therefore, in the view of Tuoba Desert Khan, it is really unwise to offend Han at this time.

"Why did the eldest prince make such a statement?"

Tuoba Liwei didn't speak, but a man in black standing next to Tuoba Liwei spoke:

"It is precisely because if the Han State is allowed to rule things, it will be detrimental to us Da Xianbei, so we have to help Wei State so that it will not lose Youzhou!"

The man in black is Suo Tou's deacon, equivalent to the Prime Minister of Nan Xia, or the prime minister.

After the Tuoba branch moved south from the extreme north to Monan, it has been nomadic in Shanggu and Yunzhong.

Later, he was attacked by Putou of Xianbei in the west, and his tribe was scattered. Tuoba had no choice but to seek refuge with Dou Bin, the master of the Wuluhui tribe.

Then the two tribes formed an alliance and went to attack the western Xianbei together, but they were defeated again.

Tuoba Liwei gave Dou Bin his horse in an emergency, and Dou Bin was able to escape.

Dou Bin fled back to the tribe, and after finding out the identity of Tuoba Liwei, in order to repay the kindness of his help, he not only married his daughter to him, but even planned to give it to half of the country.

If it were someone else, they might not have agreed to it long ago.

But Tuoba Liwei rejected Dou Bin's move of "dividing the country into half the country", and only wanted to live in Changchuan in the north to find a place for the tribe to settle down.

Of course Dou Bin agreed.

Unexpectedly, this tribe, which initially required people even for a place to stay, could grow into the largest tribe in Monan after more than ten years, with more than 100,000 string-controlling people.

And in the process of Tuoba Liwei's promotion of moralization and attracting many tribes to join him, the black-clothed deacon in front of him made great contributions.

Even when Tuoba Liwei refused to accept Dou Bin's proposal of "dividing the country into half the country" and moved to Beichuan, it was the result of the tribal deacon's persuasion.

It can be said that without the tribal deacon, there would be no Suotou today.

Tuoba Desert Khan couldn't help being startled when he saw the tribal deacon speak:

"What does the deacon mean by that?"

He looked at the adult sitting in the main seat who still didn't speak, and then at the black-clothed deacon, and he suddenly came to his senses:

That's right, if there is no deacon to persuade you about the things that you have clearly discussed before, why would you change your mind halfway?

But seeing a faint smile on the face of the deacon in black:

"As the saying goes, when two tigers fight, there must be one injury; it is also said that when the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits. The Southern Xia, Han and Wei fought, and the Han wanted to destroy Wei, so there was no time to look north. This is a good opportunity for my great Xianbei to recuperate and grow ah."

"Looking at what the Han Kingdom did to the Nine Plains of Liangzhou, all the grassland tribes were either captured as slaves or slaughtered. If they can spare their hands, I'm afraid there will be no peace in Da Xianbei."

"But Wei is not. He wants to fight against the Han, but he can give up big benefits to me, Da Xianbei, just to prevent the Han from advancing eastward."

"Han is strong and Wei is weak. Wouldn't it be wonderful for us to help Wei and suppress Han, and take advantage of it?"

After hearing the words of the deacon in black, Tuoba Desert Khan wanted to refute, but he didn't know where to start.

Looking at the appearance of the adults and the black-clothed deacon, I don't know if they changed their minds temporarily, or have they made a decision long ago?

He opened his mouth, but in the end he couldn't ask, but he just asked unwillingly:

"Wei State gave us great benefits to Xianbei, but I don't know what kind of benefits it is?"

This time, Tuoba Liwei finally spoke, even impatiently: "Liaodong."

"Liaodong?"

"The people of Wei promised us that they would cede a part of Liaodong to us as compensation for joining forces to fight against the Han."

"What?!" Tuoba Desert Khan was taken aback, "But, Liaodong, I heard that the area of ​​Liaodong is not under the orders of Wei."

"I know," Tuoba Li nodded slightly, "That's why we gave us a reason to unify Xianbei. Only when the Great Xianbei is reunified can we go south together, and then urge the Wei people to march eastward from Youzhou to help us win Liaodong."

"What if the Wei people repent?"

"Hehe," the black-clothed deacon let out a chuckle, I don't know whether it was a sneer or a sneer, "How can the eldest prince be sure that we will help the Han to destroy the Wei, and Anzhi will not be backed by the Han?"

"In other words, Xianbei in the west, Xianbei in the middle, especially the generation of Ke Bineng, all died at the hands of the Han people. Why should they make an exception for us?"

Tuoba Desert Khan was silent, speechless.
