"Fei Boren, a wild man from Jiangxia, pays homage to the King of Chu."
The leader of the migrating people was greeted by Bai Tu in front of the car. Seeing this, Bai Tu also got out of the car and asked: "I don't want to be polite. I see that there are many men, women, old and young in my family, and they are in the dust."
Servant, are you leaving Jiangxia?"
Fai Boren looks young, but not too old either, about fifty years old.
"In reply to the King of Chu's rebellion, the wild people are going to take some of their close relatives and defect to their cousins in other places. They don't know that the King of Chu's car is coming, and they collide with the King of Chu's motorcade. I hope the King of Chu will forgive me."
When Fei Boren met Bai Tu, although he was a little reserved, he was not at a loss, and his words were well-founded. It was obvious that he was from a certain family and was definitely not an ordinary person.
"The road is facing the sky, and I don't have a pure path. I can walk, and so can you, so there's nothing to worry about. But I have traveled such a long distance to go to my relatives and friends, so I have to pay attention to safety." When Bai Tu saw these people, he had no grievances. He just wanted to
Although it was unusual for him to defect to his relatives in other places, he didn't want to worry about it anymore.
He just asked again casually: "Do you want to go to Nanjun or Nanyang this time?"
When Fei Boren heard this, he showed some embarrassment. He hesitated and saw that although Bai Tu looked normal, a female official behind him was already suspicious and looked at him with suspicion. Then he said: "Go back to King Chu."
...The wild people are going to Xichuan."
Bai Tu:……
This is a bit embarrassing.
Although according to the current household registration system of Chu State, it is not illegal to leave Chu land, as long as people want you to go, but... Bai Tu was too confident before, thinking that "our great Chu is perfect and a blessed place on earth", and did not consider that someone would drag his family with him.
He traveled to the jurisdiction of other princes with his mouth, and now he suddenly said it...it's very embarrassing.
"Ahem, it's under the rule of the Marquis of Shu... Yes, it's a good place, but I want to avoid the war? Don't worry, I won't have any wars in Jiangxia from now on!" Bai Tu calculated and went to Xichuan... It should be to avoid the war.
.
Historically, from the time when Liu Cong offered the state to Cao Cao to when Liu Bei captured Jingzhou after the Battle of Chibi, there was indeed a large population migration in Jingzhou.
The main reason is that Jingzhou was relatively stable during Liu Biao's period, but suddenly became the focus of troubled times, and the people were at a loss. Especially after Cao Cao's defeat in Chibi, he moved a large number of people from Nanyang, Nanjun, and Jiangxia to the north. As a result, many clans felt insecure and instead moved their families there.
Xichuan avoids disaster!
Just like Cao Cao's migration of people to Huainan, the population of Jiangdong increased dramatically...
It's just that Bai Tu didn't expect that he was almost as popular as Cao Cao?
Have the people in Jingzhou already lacked trust in the Chu State to this extent? This made Bai Tu a little shocked...
"My father-in-law's cousin from out of town should have some connections in Xichuan, right?" Zhang Chunhua interrupted and asked, still staring at Fei Boren.
"This..." Fei Boren was hesitant when he saw this, but feeling Zhang Chunhua's unkind eyes, he still said: "Actually, my aunt is the mother of the Marquis of Shu. The Marquis of Shu sent me a letter before, saying that he is willing to accept me into Shu.
So I prepared to go to Sichuan with some relatives and friends who were willing to go."
Fei Boren did have some hesitation at first, but it was not to the extent that he could not disclose it. After all, the relationship between Chu and Shu was not tense, and the reputation of King Chu was trustworthy. It was not like he would treat others just because of this relationship.
What kind of people they are.
As for why Liu Zhang is a cousin from Jiangxia?
This is not surprising, because Liu Yan and his son were originally from Jiangxia, and Liu Yan entered Shu only after he was appointed as a herdsman in Yizhou.
After saying this, it wasn't so embarrassing - it's not that Chu State is bad, it's that our relationship is too "hard"!
It was only then that Bai Tu realized that Liu Zhang's mother's clan... the Fei family should not be a small family, and then he thought... Fei Yi was not from Liu Zhang's mother's clan!
Thinking about the information I have read before, it is true that Fei Yi should have traveled to Shu with his uncle from the clan after the chaos in Jingzhou, and became an official under Liu Bei after Liu Bei replaced Liu Zhang.
"It turns out that we are relatives of the Marquis of Shu. When the envoy from the Marquis of Shu came to Chu State, he had a very pleasant chat with me. Today I meet the cousin of the Marquis of Shu. It is really fate!" Bai Tu thought about it for a while and gave his reaction.
.
Seeing the cheerful look of the King of Chu, Fei Boren was completely relieved and concluded that Bai Tu was indeed not hostile to the Lord of Shu.
"Are these young talents from Fei's family? Come here, prepare a gift." Bai Tu looked at the men, women, and children behind Fei Boren, and the youngest ones were standing in front, so he directly gave instructions.
Someone immediately brought a square gift box...
What is inside is none other than the four treasures of the study, pen, ink, paper and inkstone, which are specialties of Chu country!
Needless to say, "paper". After Bai Tu improved papermaking, the material of paper became suitable for writing. Now Chu State is a major paper circulation company and a producer of high-quality paper.
Pens, inks, and inkstones appeared earlier than paper. They had already appeared in the pre-Qin Dynasty, when silk calligraphy and silk paintings became popular.
However, after paper became popular, pens and inks naturally had to make adaptive improvements, and white pictures... skipped the adaptation period directly!
Not only are the craftsmanship superior, but they are also ornamental. Almost all of the finest pens, inks, paper, and inkstones come from the Chu State, and... there are official workshops for low-end supply, but a large part of high-end products are made of white pictures and
A joint venture with other aristocratic families.
When Bai Tu came to Jingzhou this time, he also brought many gifts with him. Gold, silver, jewelry and the like were too tacky and not suitable for recruiting talents.
On the contrary, pens, inks, paper and inkstones seem to be much more tasteful, and... the best pens, inks, papers and inkstones are not cheap. The top-grade Qu'a Bailu paper costs tens of thousands per knife, not to mention pens, inks and inkstones.
Fei Boren had no reason to refuse the gift from the King of Chu, so he had to call all the junior members of the clan over to express his thanks.
"I think you are all aspiring students. During this study tour in Shu, in addition to increasing your knowledge, don't forget to understand the sufferings of the people. Always remember that you are a member of the common people. If you become an official or a official in the future, don't forget to do it.
Don't let down what you have learned, don't let down the people, don't let down your original intention... These four treasures of the study should be regarded as my efforts to you." Bai Tu said and had people distribute them.
Of course, with Zhang Chunhua watching over him, he naturally knew what Bai Tu was thinking. What he asked people to take... was only the "third gear" prepared. Although it could be considered valuable elsewhere, it was not without market value.
When the seven or eight young men of the Fei family paid their respects to Bai Tu again, Zhang Chunhua pretended to be casual and said: "I feel that it is difficult for them to learn anything when they arrive in Yizhou...Although Yizhou is a peaceful place in troubled times,
However, nowadays, the state of Chu is changing rapidly, and the princes from all over the country want to learn but cannot.
If you go to Yizhou to study, you will only learn the old knowledge. In the future, the new learning of Chu will be passed on. The princes of Shu have become clinging to the old people, and their learning will only follow suit. If you hope to go to Xichuan to study, you may be trying to catch fish."
"Chunhua! No need to say more, everyone has his or her own ambitions... Or even in Yizhou, you can achieve something and use what you learn." Bai Tu criticized Zhang Chunhua in an understatement.
"What the king is saying is that my subordinates are shallow." Zhang Chunhua said, looking at Fei Boren with a sudden look, as if "that's right, you are Liu Jiyu's mother clan, being an official will not be a problem."
