The fourth update is sent, and the 4700 monthly pass is added!

The missions of the eighteen countries are actually more equivalent to the eighteen caravans. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info They all know that Datang's commercial goods are more and cheaper, this time Zhang Chao took them into Beijing, these people have prepared a large number of commercial goods, ready to go to Chang'an to make a lot of money.

As for the tribute Tang Tianzi, it was just incidental.

As long as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty is as talkative as Dingxi Duhu and is willing to let them continue to do business with the Tang Dynasty, then it is not a big deal to call the ministers and tribute or something. Among the envoys, Fanbang used to go to Chang'an to pay tribute to the Sui Emperor. They still remember that the Sui Tianzi people are very good.

When they go all the way to Chang'an, they will not turn the card to intercept and collect money, and they don't even need money to eat and stay in a hotel when they arrive in Chang'an. The goods he brought were paid tribute to the Emperor of Sui, and then he received a large number of rewards, which was much more cost-effective than trading with Han merchants.

It was only later that when they heard about the chaos in the Central Plains, Tuyuhun took the opportunity to restore the country and blocked their road to Chang'an. This time, the Tang people beat Tuyuhun honestly, and opened a trade route, Zhang Duhu summoned them and invited them to Chang'an, and they were naturally very willing.

There were also quite a few people in the eighteen missions, one or two hundred in each family. In addition to the three countries of the last alliance, among the other fifteen countries this time, the strongest ones are Tubo and Dongnu.

After conquering the two major divisions of Subi and Ali in northern Tibet, Tubo is now arrogant, with 50,000 elite soldiers in his hand, and is carrying out reforms, reusing the talents of Subi and Zhangxiong, and making a large number of new upstarts, suppressing the original old nobles.

His reforms were fruitful, but they also offended many of the old aristocracy. This Songtsen Gampo's father, somewhat similar to Yang Guang, is quite radical. Yang Guang was finally killed by his close ministers, and Lang Ri praised it and was poisoned by the old nobles in a few years.

However, Lang Ri was still very discerning, and as soon as Zhang Chao sent someone to contact him, he immediately sent a delegation over. He didn't bent on sending people to Chang'an to do business and make money, but really wanted to establish diplomatic relations with Datang and consolidate and maintain this new business route opened up by Zhang Chao.

The strength of the East Women's Country is also quite strong, and this is also a very peculiar country, because she is the daughter country.

The territory of the Dongnu Kingdom was reported by the people sent by Zhang Chao to come back, saying that it was a 22-day trip from north to south and a nine-day trip from east to west. This is calculated based on riding a horse for 80 li a day, so the territory of the Dongnu Kingdom is about 1,600 li from north to south, and 720 li from east to west.

That's pretty big of a place.

Its specific location is in the area of the Yalong River and the Dadu River, which are tributaries of the Dadu River and the Dadu River, where Sichuan, Yunnan and Tibet meet. Even in later generations, that area was also known as a female cultural belt. The way of life of the marriage and matrilineal clan still exists in that area.

Dongnuguo is also a kind of Qiang people, and it is the same race as Baiwolf Qiang and Bailanqiang.

But Dongnuqiang is a matrilineal clan with a queen, and their prince is not called the prince, but the little queen. The queen is a guest, and there are women in the country as officials, called Gaoba, and they comment on state affairs.

The queen has a husband, also called the king, but this king does not care about the internal affairs of the tribe, but only fights abroad.

The Dongnu Kingdom is very strong in the southwest of Sichuan, with more than 80 large and small cities, equivalent to more than 80 tribes. They lived in towns, ploughing, hunting, and grazing. The king and the officials were all women, and men could not be officials at home, but could only fight as soldiers outside.

The current queen of the East Female Kingdom is the Tang Peng clan, and I heard that her name is Phoenix.

This time, it was a pair of sons and daughters of Phoenix who came with the Eastern Women's Mission. The daughter's name is Qingluan, she is in her early twenties, she is very shrewd and capable, and she has a hundred young female warriors. His son was called Black Panther, and he took a hundred male warriors with him. The merchant group of the East Woman Country is also the largest, with hundreds of loads of goods.

As the overlord of southwest Sichuan, the Dongnu Kingdom even has its own vassal state.

The Eight Kingdoms of Xishan are the elder neighbors, the White Dog Country, the Rent Country, the South Water Country, the Weak Water Country, the Xi Dong State, the Qingyuan State, and the Duba State that are subject to the Dongnu Kingdom. These eight countries are all scattered in the mountains and rivers, and most of them are tribes with a population of more than 10,000.

Dongnuguo is a real daughter country, and the status of women is much higher than that of men.

Qingluan's status is much higher than that of his brother Black Panther, and in the mission, Black Panther obeys Qingluan everywhere. The panther was a very strong warrior, not too tall, but as long as a leopard, and with strong skills. But in front of the very small blue bird, he is as tame and obedient as a cat.

For some reason, Zhang Chao deliberately got along with these people.

Zhang Chao gave Qingluan a silk dress with a fur collar, the skirt mopped the floor, and pasted gold flowers, plus a shawl of mink, as well as fragrant perfume and soap, which immediately made the woman who had been wearing leather armor and a knife on her waist smile like a flower.

After changing into a silk skirt and changing the braid to a Han-style bun, Qingluan actually has a very good taste of a Han woman.

"I like it very much!"

The blue bird smiled at Zhang Chao, her Chinese Zhang Chao understood well, and her Chinese was learned from her maid. I heard that the waitress's father was originally Han Chinese, and later settled in their tribe.

The country has a population of more than 100,000 and more than 80 cities.

But it is a marriage, usually when the gathering, if the man falls in love with the woman, he will snatch something from the woman, handkerchiefs, purses, etc., if the woman does not want to return, then it is considered a token and agreed. At night, the woman would leave a light by the window and wait for the man to appear.

In the East Female Country, all the watchtowers are inhabited, for example, the queen is the nine-story watchtower. The watchtowers are very high, many of them are several zhang high, and those young men must stick their fingers in the cracks of the stones, and climb up the watchtowers step by step, which is also a test.

Moreover, the window of the watchtower is still very small, and there is a beam in the middle, so even if you climb up, you have to get into it with great difficulty.

If you can't climb the watchtower, or you can't climb through the window, then you're sorry, you can't get into the girl's room.

When the rooster crows the next day, the lad will leave.

The relationship between them will be very simple and there will be no bonds. Men can come every day, once a few months, or even not at all.

The relationship between them is called Jiayi, which is a partner.

A woman can have many Jiayi at the same time, and some people have only one Jiayi in their lifetime.

If you have a child, you have nothing to do with men, let alone be responsible. Children are all raised by women, and their families are dominated by women, and the highest ranking in the family is generally the patriarch. The man is the uncle, who lives with his mother and sisters.

The woman has the final say in the affairs of the family.

For these customs of the East Female Country, they were quite surprised. There was even a little excitement, because there were a hundred female warriors and a group of female businessmen in the ranks of the Eastern Women's Country, and Niu Jianhu also invited them to dance with tooth soldiers.

"San Lang, the girls of the East Girl Country will participate in the evening, and other fans will also come together. Then let's roast lamb and drink mare's milk wine! ”

Zhang Chao smiled, "I'm afraid that your drunkard won't be in the bar?" ”

Niu Jianhu smiled, "I just think that the women of these daughter countries are curious, they are completely different from other women." ”

"You're a slut!" Zhang Chao pointed out sharply that the women of the Han family are mainly men, and they are quite obedient to men. The women of the daughter country are different, they are a matriarchal society, and women are in charge. This treats the relationship between men and women, of course, differently.

For people like Zhang Chao who have seen a big woman in later generations, there is nothing too unusual about the women of the daughter country, but for Niu Jianhu, the women of the daughter country are so spicy and have personality.

"Let's go together, isn't San Lang afraid of his sister-in-law?"

Li Gan was also agitated on the side, "I haven't heard of San Lang being afraid of guilt!" ”

"I'm afraid of your sister, I just have some things to do."

"What can happen at night? Are you going to write to my sister? If you really mean that, just say it! Li Gan said arrogantly, he really has many sisters, both concubines and concubines.

Zhang Chao was entangled by a few guys and couldn't do it, so he had to pack up and go together.

The party was on the edge of the Tanshui River outside Lintan City.

The missions of the eighteen countries are all camped outside the city, there are too many people, and there are not so many places to place these people in the city, in addition, Zhang Chao does not want to place these people in the city, these people are the same as barbarians, it is easy to make trouble in the city.

Fortunately, they were also used to living in tents, and there were drinks prepared by Lintan City, which made these people very happy.

Wine is a good thing, most people don't know how to make wine, let alone these good wines in Taozhou.

By the river, piles of bonfires were lit, and although it was very cold, everyone was singing and dancing around the fire. All the nations, you sing yours, I dance mine.

Niu Jianhu and some Taozhou tooth soldiers also laughed with their chickens and ducks.

As soon as he passed, Qingluan came over and pulled Zhang Chao to dance. Zhang Chao doesn't want to go to the demons to dance wildly, it's like killing Matt and burying the love family, what is it called dancing, it's almost like being drunk and crazy.

But people like this, and they sing and dance when they are happy.

Zhang Chao said a few words, but Qingluan didn't understand it at all, and in the end, Zhang Chao just writhed and jumped together. Zhang Chao dances much better than them, at least there is rhythm, rhythm, whether it is slow shaking or others, there is still a look. Qingdao kept smiling and praising after watching it, and jumped with Zhang Chao.

Later, the group of people by the fire all jumped with Zhang Chao.

Zhang Chao became the lead dancer.

After jumping, Zhang Chao himself was also excited, since he came to Longxi, Zhang Chao has not been so relaxed.

Dance, sing, drink mare's milk wine, continue to sing and dance.

After jumping, Qingluan ripped a piece of jade pendant from Zhang Chao's body.

Zhang Chao looked at her and turned his head away with a smile, still a little stunned.

The girl in the daughter country still likes to grab things?

"Wow, San Lang, Yanfu is not shallow!" Four of the cows and tigers appeared.

"What?" Zhang Chao asked.

"What are you pretending to be with us, don't you know the customs of your daughter's country? There are no husband and wife there, and they get married. If you like whichever one you like, you will directly take one thing from the other party, and if you don't want to come back, that is, you agree to pop at night! ”

"Smack your sister!" Zhang Chao also understood, but he remembered that it seemed that the man took the woman.

"San Lang, go back and wash your whites, and wait for her to come and pick flowers later. There's a tent over there, which was originally prepared for me, but now, I won't talk about it between our brothers, and I'll give it to you. Go ahead! ”

The cow saw that the tiger's mouth was unstoppable.

Zhang Chao patted his head, I wiped it, my jade pendant was taken away by Qingluan, and I didn't stop it at that time. Doesn't that mean that he tacitly agrees that Qingluan is going to come to him tonight?

This is a big misunderstanding!

I just fell asleep, hey, when I opened my eyes, I owed eleven more chapters! (To be continued.) )
