Chapter 157 I am so happy here that I don’t want to go home (please order!)
At this point, Ma Su quickly accepted the fact, took the little guy with a look of surprise, held it in his hand, grinned and teased him, his father's love was like a landslide.
After a moment, with a loud cry of "Wow", Ma Su frowned, and unhappily put the fat boy back into Axiu's hand, rubbed his head and waved: "Take it away, take it away."
A Xiu suddenly laughed and her branches trembled wildly.
After the fun.
Ma Di led A Xiu along the secret passage to the palace located under the palace, opened a huge door and entered the treasure house.
The treasure house is a large and magnificent room. Although it is large, it is not empty. It is filled with gold, silver, treasures and valuable items. Nothing is worthless.
There is an oval crystal bed in the middle of the treasure house. The bed is very large and looks crystal clear. There are two luminous pearls inlaid on both sides of the headboard, which illuminate the treasure house as if it were daytime.
Next to the crystal bed, there is a golden bow-waisted loom with excellent workmanship and a sparkling surface.
Ma Su roughly reported the total number of assets in the treasury: "The basic situation is this. The money has actually become ours, but we can't move it away now."
While talking, Axiu was guided by Ma Su to sit down in a corner of the crystal bed.
Since entering the treasure house, Axiu has not said a word until now. Her pretty face has changed from being full of anticipation when she first came in, to being amazed when she saw the jewelry, to being extremely shocked when she saw the golden loom, and then blushing and feeling at a loss.
.
The enclosed space, the exquisite crystal bed, and the golden loom aroused her endless imagination.
Could it be that the general wants to teach me embroidery?
Thinking like this, Axiu felt that Ma Su's statement in her ear was like a gentle love talk and foreshadowing. To her, the former words revealed a meaning both inside and outside.
"I'll teach you fancy embroidery later!"
Axiu didn't know what state she was in. She lowered her head, held the little guy tightly in her arms, and kept nodding slightly, as if she had listened to everything, but also seemed not to have listened to a word.
This absent-minded look is even more tempting under the crystal white moonlight.
Ma Su felt good about himself and kept talking for a long time. Suddenly he realized that this was not the time to talk nonsense.
So he shut up, took Axiu to Dan's loom, and taught her embroidery step by step.
…
Even after roughly taking stock of the assets of the Shaodang Qiang, the wealth of this tribe located on the Silk Road still exceeded Ma Su's imagination.
Except for the shabby houses of the hundreds of Qiang households in Nancheng, almost every household of the people living in the east, west, and north has a brand new or quaint big house.
The rooms of each household were paved with fine fur carpets, and carriages were used to travel. Each household also had a cellar filled with food and fine wine.
There were even female slaves bought from the Western Regions.
Even in Nancheng, the poorest city, every household has at least one horse, two cows, and a dozen sheep.
If the Shaodang Qiang tribe’s definition of poverty is applied to the whole world, then 99% of the people in the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu would be poor.
After learning about these situations, Ma Di secretly made up his mind that this tribe could never be left to Shao Ge to take care of.
Because he is too unreliable, he might turn against him one day.
So I can only appoint my own people to be Qiang kings.
Ma Su was really good at interfering with his own people. The thought of having such a wealthy tribe in his hands made him feel hot.
Moreover, there is another advantage of having deep control over Shaodang Qiang. All the wealth in the treasure house does not need to be transported away.
After making up his mind, Ma Su quickly revised his original plan.
First, he called Shao Ge and told the latter in a serious tone that both His Majesty Liu Chan and Prime Minister Zhuge believed that the new Qiang King from far away did not respect Shao Ge.
Therefore, Shaoge needed to go to Chengdu in person to receive the title, and then come back in glory to inherit the throne and the nearly one hundred beautiful princesses left by the former Qiang King Erhe.
Of course, in order to prevent Shao Ge from being bored on his way to Chengdu, Ma Su specially selected ten of the many concubines of the former Qiang King to accompany him.
In addition, give him ten boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, and ask him to bring some Shu brocade back to Chengdu, and spend the remaining money as he pleases.
At the end of the sentence, Ma Di patted Shao Ge heavily on the shoulder and said sincerely: "Since ancient times, the Han and Qiang people have been one family, and one family will not deceive the other members. You can rest assured and go to Chengdu to receive the title. The matter of Shao Ge being a Qiang will be left to me."
Help you take care of it."
Shao Ge has been anxious these past few days because he has not been able to fulfill his position as King of Qiang. When he heard this, his eyes immediately lit up and he hurriedly responded.
Being able to take ten beauties and ten boxes of gold and silver to Chengdu to receive the title of Qiang King was such a good job that he was really excited.
It’s not too late to do this!
Shao Ge moved very quickly, and set off in a hurry the next day with a group of cronies.
I hurriedly hurriedly and slowly on the road, and finally arrived in Chengdu a month later.
The three thousand-mile journey was very tiring, even though he lay in a carriage along the way and was served by ten beautiful women. When he arrived in Chengdu, Shao Ge had lost a lot of weight and his eye sockets were sunken deeply.
Outside the north gate of Chengdu, the Shu Han court came to greet an unprecedentedly large array. Under the leadership of Zhuge Liang, thousands of soldiers rushed out with a roar and lined up on both sides of the road, shouting: "Welcome, welcome, warm welcome."
Shao Ge climbed out of the carriage when he heard the noise and looked up to find that there were so many people outside to pick him up. He was instantly shocked.
This was the first time in his life that he saw Zhuge Liang, the Prime Minister of the Shu Han Dynasty. With just one glance, he was deeply impressed by Zhuge Liang's wise eyes and superb demeanor on the trolley.
Thousands of soldiers surrounded Zhuge Liang like stars and the moon, with expressions of admiration, awe, and pride on their faces, and strong confidence in their straight bodies.
Shao Ge was so shocked by this scene that he quickly rolled out of the car, knelt down on the road respectfully and tremblingly, and shouted loudly: "Shan Barbarian, I have seen the Prime Minister."
Zhuge Liang got down from the cart, helped Shao Ge, took the latter's hand, got into an open carriage, and came to a palace in the city that was comparable to Shaodang Palace. The attendants and guards were all arranged according to the specifications of Shu Han's important officials.
.
Three days later, Shao Ge came to the palace as he wished and met His Majesty Liu Chan.
Liu Chan generously granted him the title of Shaodang Qiang King and the title of Yushi Zhongcheng.
Shao Ge settled down in Chengdu.
Every once in a while, Liu Chan would summon him with a message and either give him gold and silver beauties, or give him an official title.
Shaoge, who had never been involved in official circles before and had never been to a prosperous metropolis, soon lost himself in the magical metropolis of Chengdu amid the thrill of promotion.
Occasionally, he also thought of his mission, which was to return to Shaodang Qiang and become the Qiang King.
But when he thought of the Qiang land where the north wind was biting and the cold was raging, he was a little discouraged.
In comparison, Chengdu, with its warm and prosperous climate, is simply a paradise. The people here are not xenophobic at all, speak politely, obey laws and regulations, do not close their homes at night, and do not pick up lost items on the road.
The most important thing is that it is so comfortable to be a high official here and enjoy the glory and wealth.
Once he returns to the Qiang land, he will have to quarrel with the Wei State every day, fight with the Shenlang Qiang, and argue with the Xianling Qiang.
Especially when he learned that the leaders of the Eastern Qiang and Nanman did not go back to become Qiang kings, but chose to become high officials in Chengdu. Shao Ge quickly made up his mind.
He had never really been a Qiang king in Shaodang Qiang for a day, so he thought it would be more comfortable and comfortable to be a high official in Chengdu than to be a Qiang king who was manipulated by others in Shaodang Qiang.
Official position, fame and wealth, women, and freedom are all available in Chengdu. Xiqiang people can be seen everywhere on the streets, which makes him not at all uncomfortable in a foreign country.
So, why go back?
On this day, when Liu Chan hosted a banquet again, he asked him with a smile: "King Shaoge, do you think about the Qiang?"
Shao Ge shook his head without hesitation: "Your Majesty, I am happy here and don't miss the Qiang."
Hearing this, Zhuge Liang, who was sitting beside him, stroked his beard and smiled.
Shao Ge settled down in Shu with peace of mind.
…
At the same time, Shaodang Qiang tribe.
Ma Su is following the previous story of Ling Qiang, gathering all Qiang people to the royal city, and asking them to take multiple rounds of exams to select new leaders at all levels.
Then establish prestige and firmly control Shaodang Qiang.
