Lu Dongzan waved his hand. Immediately, someone walked out from the crowd of onlookers and handed the document in his hand to Ma Zhou. Ma Zhou took it, looked at the document, then looked at Lu Dongzan and bowed and said, "Please, sir."
Xiangyiguan and his party, I am being rude, please don’t be surprised, the Prime Minister."
Lu Dongzan smiled half-heartedly and sat on the pedestal carried by four strong Tibetan men. He returned to his tent and turned a deaf ear to Ma Zhou's invitation to go to the post house.
Ma Zhou didn't force it. There was no posthouse under Yinshan Mountain for the envoys to rest. He just wanted to be polite and put the documents in his arms. Now he had to go to Zhang Baoxiang, the governor of Daizhou. This kind of thing was not easy to do.
It's not for a humble official like him to intervene. He was just trying his best to maintain the prestige of the Tang Dynasty.
Zhang Baoxiang is in a very happy mood today. The docility of the old Turks makes him happy from the bottom of his heart. Yun Mu is also very happy. He just accepted the praises from the people in the shed. He knows the beauty of adulthood at a young age and has a pure heart. When he grows up, he will definitely be a
A good girl, she was a little shy, burying her head in her mother's arms and acting coquettishly, which made everyone laugh again.
Ma Zhou put Lu Dongzan's documents on Zhang Baoxiang's case and said: "Director Zhang, the Tibetans are here after all, but they did not go to Jiannan or Songzhou, but came directly from Yinshan Mountain."
Zhang Baoxiang didn't even look at the document, and ordered Chang Shi to forward the document to Ding Xiangjun. This was not his responsibility. If Ma Zhou hadn't mentioned it, he wouldn't have wanted to know about it. He had spoken too much back then, which almost made him doomed.
, so now he only focuses on the one-third of an acre of land in Daizhou, and doesn't want to ask about other things.
Ma Zhou also knew that he had mistakenly reported the military situation, so he stopped mentioning the Prime Minister of Tibet. He verified his identity and welcomed the envoy. It was the Duke's job and it was not appropriate to involve Zhang Baoxiang.
That day, Rimu sat on a chair and kept introducing the tribal leaders from the grassland to Zhang Baoxiang. Every time he introduced one, Yunjiu showed Zhang Baoxiang their gift slips one by one. After Chang Shi verified the gift slips, the accountant would provide the gift to that person.
The leader completed the tribute document. Last year, there were 164 tribes. This year, only 155 tribes were left. Nine tribes disappeared. Without the tribute document, the tribes would have no way to gain a foothold on the grassland.
The army will surround these rebellious people, and other big clans will also attack them, just like vultures eyeing carrion. Many times, a clan will be completely divided up overnight.
After finishing these matters, Yun Jiu clapped his hands, and immediately a servant of the Yun family brought ten purple lamb skins and bamboo chips representing the number of cattle and sheep. Seeing that Zhang Baoxiang was confused, he said, "Don't be surprised, Governor, this is
It was paid by the Yun family on behalf of the Yudu clan, who have now sold themselves into slavery, and the Yudu clan will cease to exist from next year."
Wuli Sima, who never spoke like a clay figure, suddenly asked: "There are only 617 women, old and weak people left in the Yudu tribe. These people cannot provide any help to your house. Why should the Yun Mansion take them in? Instead of
Let them be swallowed up by the grassland?"
That day, Higurashi looked at this strange man. Did he save the wrong person? He wanted to rebuke this unreasonable guy, but he remembered the words that Huan Niang taught him: read more, listen more, and talk less, so he couldn't bear it.
Come down, I plan to take a look first before talking about it.
Yun Jiu bowed and replied: "Sima doesn't know something. When the Yun family ranch started, it was all thanks to my wife to take in the young people no one wanted. Now, the young people have grown up and when it is time to get married, the Yudu clan
For others, it would be a huge burden for the whole clan to die in battle, but for the Yun Family Ranch, it was a good opportunity to betroth those women to the family's herd slaves, so that there would be both men and women.
, a ranch with a balanced number of men and women will thrive.”
Wuli Sima held great authority in the army and generally did not speak. Once he spoke, even a general like Zhang Baoxiang had to ignore him. He had to explain clearly, otherwise disaster would immediately befall him.
After hearing Yunjiu's explanation, Wuli Sima thought for a while and said: "People can be taken away, but the pasture cannot be taken away. The Yudu clan's pasture needs to be returned to the public, and the Yun family cannot get involved." After saying this, he became a clay Buddha again.
That day, Rimu was furious. Most of the reason why she took in the Yudu tribe was for the rich pastures in the upper reaches of the river. Now she had destroyed the pastures with just one sentence. How could she swallow this breath? She didn't know what Wuli Sima was.
What kind of existence? He opened his mouth and said, "This won't work. If the Yun family takes in people, they will also take over the pastures. If there is no pasture, how can we feed those people?"
"That is your Yun family's business and has nothing to do with me. I have said that people can be taken away, but pastures cannot, and must be re-divided." Wuli Sima glanced at Na Rimu with interest, and his words were questioned.
, this is the first time.
Before Rimu could speak again, Zhang Baoxiang said with a smile: "Sima is absolutely right. The reason why the imperial court divided the grassland into pieces is that it did not want to see one family dominate. Madam Mu, this is the case. It is a matter of
As a matter of national policy, Sima allowed the Yun family to recruit the herdsmen of the Yudu tribe, which is already an open policy, so there is no need to mention this matter again."
Yun Jiu also smiled and said: "Yes, yes, today there will be grassland singing and dancing, Ronin tunes, and the Yun family's chef has also prepared some food. I will go to watch the singing and dancing together, and taste the Yun family's food by the way. You know
Ah, everyone, the Yun family's food is famous in the Tang Dynasty, you must try it."
Zhang Baoxiang laughed loudly and said to Wuli Sima and Chang Shi: "It doesn't matter whether you watch the singing or dancing. They are just grassland herdsmen dancing in circles. Although they are strong and powerful, they are boring after watching too much. But this Yun family's
You must taste the food."
Wuli Sima still had the same dead face, and he cupped his hands and said, "I am used to being a lowly official. A bowl of noodles is enough. I am afraid that I cannot afford the luxuries of a wealthy family."
Zhang Baoxiang and Yun Jiu laughed together and stretched out his thumb at Wuli Sima. Seeing the confusion on his face, Zhang Baoxiang said again: "As expected of Wuli Sima, he hit the nail on the head. It is true that the Yun family is a wealthy family, but
His family's meals were never lavish banquets. They were ordinary, home-cooked meals that, through the hands of the Yun family, turned rotten into something magical.
Sima Kezhi knew that back then, both the governor and Marquis Yun were on duty under Duke Wei. During the freezing season, the army fought against Jieli. He suffered a lot. One day, when the weather was freezing and he was hungry, Marquis Meng Yun invited him to go.
He kept the heat in his tent, an iron pot, a piece of dough, a handful of green garlic grown in a flower pot, and chili vinegar. He said that he would make a delicious meal to reward me, Lao Zhang. Marquis Yun pulled the dough into an inch.
The wide noodles are topped with green garlic, chili peppers, and a splash of vegetable oil. The taste is so delicious that I still have endless aftertaste. "
Speaking of the military past, Sima Wuli suddenly had a smile on his face. They were all from the army and they liked to hear these interesting military stories. Seeing Zhang Baoxiang's vivid words, he smiled and said: "In this case, let's see something today."
Yunfu has the miraculous ability to turn decay into something magical.”
The smiling Yun Jiu immediately invited Zhang Baoxiang and Wuli Sima to go outside and said that the Yun family's cook was ready and they would eat noodles today.
That day, Rimu's eyes were almost filled with anger. It was fine that Zhang Baoxiang didn't help him, but Yun Jiu, a bitch slave, didn't help him either. He didn't even look at himself when he left. He really had no discipline.
The eunuch came out of nowhere, held Yunmu in her arms, tapped Yunmu on the forehead and said bitterly: "She has a beautiful face, but from the inside out she is just a straw bag.
What kind of person is Sima Li? I've told you three times. If Sima Wu Li doesn't say anything today, then you can do whatever you want. As soon as Sima Wu Li speaks, shut up immediately. Don't say it's you.
The Marquis is here, and Sima Wuli has said this, and the Marquis will never object.
Fortunately, Dudu Zhang spoke for you, and Yun Jiu was smart enough to cover up the matter. Since Wuli Sima is willing to go to dinner, it means that he didn't take it seriously, otherwise you will be in big trouble. What is the crime of integrating the Turkic tribe?
, you don’t know, the Marquis will be in trouble when the time comes."
"I just want that piece of grassland. Who wants to join the tribe? It's better to have one more sheep. In the future, my daughter's dowry will be richer. My husband is so capable that he won't be afraid of a sixth-grade little Sima."
When the eunuch saw that Rimu was stubborn and kept chanting Amitabha, she said with a bitter face: "What kind of evil did the old woman do back then? She forced you to be stuffed into the bed of the Marquis. Now it's better. I will marry you.
It's really unlucky. I can't give birth to a son, but I have a daughter. However, the Marquis treats his daughter as his treasure and you as his treasure. My concubine is so arrogant that she can yell at Wuli Sima. Do you think the Marquis is not unlucky enough?
no?"
"Then what should we do? I really want the pasture, but now I have brought in more than 600 people for nothing, but the pasture does not belong to our family. What should I do?" When Rimu heard what the eunuch said was serious, he lowered his head and did not dare to say anything, so he had to
Let’s talk about pasture.
"That's right. The Marquis is the smartest man in the world. Marrying a stupid wife is a good match. You just stared at the grassland and didn't hear the voice of Sima Wuli? The grassland must be returned to the public. This is an iron law. No one can
You can't offend. The pasture belongs to the company. Sima didn't say that the grass also belongs to the company, right? Who can graze sheep on it? It's not our family.
Sima is in charge of the regulations, but he doesn't care about the allocation of pasture. As long as he asks the Duke not to allocate this pasture, it will be over. How many times have you grazed on the public pasture in recent years? After raising so many cattle and sheep,
They are grazing on the public pasture, and you have cut all your own pasture into hay and stored it. Who has this ability? The Qibi family's pasture is also nearby. When did you see them doing this? This is Hou.
My ability."
When he heard that he could graze sheep there, Rimu immediately became happy and took Huan Niang's hand and said, "I will listen to you from now on and will never talk nonsense again."
The eunuch looked at the sleeping girl and said pitifully: "No wonder the Marquis left his daughter to you. He was just afraid that you, a stupid woman, would suffer, so he left his daughter on the grassland. Even if those warriors ignored you, little
As a concubine, I have to give some face to the eldest daughter of the Yun family. In order to take care of you, I separated my flesh and blood. It is really pitiful to think about it. "(To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster.
