From the time he was separated from everyone, he had a gloomy face all the way and didn't say a word. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info The old leader knew that he wanted Jia Han to come back and made him feel unhappy, so he could only sigh. Jia Han has created such a big momentum in Qinzhou, for the sake of the future of his clan, it is best to welcome him back. If the imperial court really wants to annex the surrounding tribes, who can stop it?

Qinzhou has been able to maintain the current pattern of many declines because since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, it has not opened up to the outside world, which is a policy set since the time of Taizu. The imperial court was only interested in the traditional land of the Han people, and the other Tibetan regions were too lazy to take care of it, and they would not take action against other places until Yanyun was recovered. Taizong once tried to suppress the rebellion against the party in Jiaozhi County, but in the end he was unsuccessful, and this policy of defending the land and not developing was continued.

With the Khitan pressure in the north, the financial pressure of the Song Dynasty has always been very great, and it costs money to open up land, and it is difficult to obtain the approval of the government and the opposition for spending money, which is the basis for the existence of the Hehuang Zhongfan Department.

Now because of the rebellion of the party, the imperial court wants to open up to the Hehuang region, and what if the Tibetan department is unwilling to make up its mind? The old leader has lived for decades, and he can still see these things clearly, and after the completion of the merger of accounts around Qinzhou into villages, it is difficult for the surrounding people to be spared. What about opposition? Do you still want to rebel? From Song Liguo, in Qinzhou, there has never been a disturbance in the Tibetan Department that threatens the imperial court. Tian Renlang was appointed to inspect the capital of Qinzhou, and he wiped out hundreds of Fanluo clan tents at every turn, who can do anything to him? It's not like it's a good offering. The biggest trouble, Brother Zong's Li Lizun called in the name of the Gang to gather nearly 100,000 people to make a rebellion, and as a result, the first battle of Sandu Valley was chased and killed by Cao Wei for dozens of miles, and no one in Hehuang dared to go against the court again.

The general trend is coming, Hao Hao Tang Tang, and anyone's resistance is a mantis arm as a car. After the current marshal arrived in Qinzhou, his policy was very clear, and he changed the policy of using razing to control razing, and he had to sort out the surrounding areas and make every effort to deal with the party. Fortunately, the marshal did not sweep by force when he was passing through the Tibetan Department, but showed his kindness, at least until now, it was all to give up to the Tibetan Territory. The best response for the tribe is to seize this opportunity and strive for the greatest benefit for themselves, and it is self-defeating to resist. At this time, Jia Han fought for the clan, which was an excellent opportunity, even if the clan was merged into a village in the future, it would not suffer much loss.

It's a pity that it's not easy to tell my son about the stakes in the middle, otherwise if it is spread out, it may be jealous of the Shuai Mansion, and it will be worth the loss if it leads to retaliation. Anyway, he grasps the general direction of the clan, and even if his son is now wronged, he will one day understand his hard work. As for what the Tibetan tribe will only graze cattle and sheep, that is nonsense, many of the Tibetan tribes around Qinzhou were originally Han Chinese, and they were only transformed after the late Tang Dynasty was occupied by the Tibetans. As long as the cultivated fields are better than before, I don't know how many Tibetan people are willing to merge into villages, how can a few leaders stop them for their own interests.

When he returned to the clan, he didn't say a word, but went straight back to his residence, closed the door, and saw no one.

In the old chief's tent, a few people in Han costumes were waiting there for a long time, and when they saw the old leader coming in, they hurriedly got up and saluted.

After the two sides finished saluting, the old leader said: "There are too many things to go to Qinzhou City today, and I have been waiting for a long time. ”

One of the people who seemed to be the leader said: "The clan master is polite, let's wait and wait for what's the matter." By the way, is there any important news for the clan leader to Qinzhou this time? I heard that your son in Nazhiyuan is very angry, congratulations to the patriarch! ”

The old leader gave up his hand again and again: "That son was sent to Qinzhou when he was a child, but I didn't expect to have this luck when he was older." He is now given a name by the imperial court, and his surname is a national surname, and his name is Jiahan. ”

Several people congratulated one after another, and the leader said: "I heard that there is a Sansi shop in Qinzhou City now, which sells fine salt, and the price is extremely cheap. If this is the case, we salt sellers will have no livelihood, and the salt ponds in the clan of the clan leader will be just as difficult. There is that cheap fine salt, to whom do you fry the salt and sell it? ”

The old leader smiled and said, "I went there to see fine salt, and I heard that they only sold it for ten cents a catty, and I was also panicked. Later, I found the envoy in the marshal's house, and he went to the marshal of the road to say that the marshal asked the three divisions to buy our salt, and then make it into fine salt for sale, without the court's own fine salt. This handsome man is very kind-hearted and does not embarrass us Tibetans. ”

Hearing this result, several smugglers felt cold in their hearts, but the leader didn't show it on his face, and still said with a smile on his face: "Congratulations to the clan master!" The government collects salt, which is a long time to buy ***, which is much better before. I wonder how much they charge a pound? Fine salt is only sold for ten wen, and the price for you is not high, right? ”

"Fortunately, the marshal instructed the three divisions of the shop not to make our money, and to give us a pound of six cents, which is okay."

Several smuggler salt dealers glanced at each other, and the leader tried to ask, "There is that Sansi shop that sells fine salt to the outside, and it is not bad to be able to sell it for six cents a catty." Clan master, we have been friends for many years, can you bring us a little bit? ”

The old clan master's heart was vigilant, and he asked with a smile: "With our friendship, I will naturally help you if I can help you." I just don't know what you're talking about, can I help. ”

"Six dollars a pound of salt, we can't do this business. But the connections that have been made over the years, some other tribes that have salt ponds, they don't have the luck of the clan masters, and they can't sell the salt while guarding the salt ponds. We don't know if we can sell salt to the three shops in the name of the clan master, and they can make a profit of one penny or two pennies. ”

The old leader hurriedly said: "This is unacceptable! Today, it was decided that there is a quota of salt that we sell to Sansi Shop every month, which is less than the salt fried in the clan before. I can't sell all the salt of my own family, how can I sell other salts! ”

There is a salt pond near the Fan Department, in addition to the Shangding people, and then there are Diezhou and Danzhou. However, the salt of those two states has always been only sold to the hinterland of Fanqiang and the area of Lizhou Road, and not to Qinzhou. These guests said that they wanted to sell salt from other places, and the first thing that the old chief thought of was the Qingbai salt from the party, because they betrayed the Song Dynasty, they were cut off from selling salt, and they have always relied on these smuggled salt sellers to sell salt. If this is the case, the green and white salt that he sold on behalf of the party is known by the imperial court, but it is a disaster to exterminate the clan.

Qinzhou implements a policy of low-price fine salt, and everyone in their normal minds knows that it is to block the party's green and white salt and cut off their financial resources. Taking advantage of loopholes in this, I am afraid that I will not be able to run away from the charge of collaborating with the enemy and treason, how dare the old leader do it?

Several smugglers listened to the old chief's answer, and were very disappointed, but there was no shortage of courtesy, and said to the old chief: "I didn't expect the imperial court to have so many restrictions, it seems that it is a special grace to accept your salt, and I pity the other tribes." ”

The old leader said: "We can get this benefit by relying on me to go to the Shuaifu." You might as well tell those tribes who have salt ponds, or you can go to the Shuaifu in the same way, maybe the three divisions will also collect their salt. ”

"What the patriarch said is that when I see them, I will tell them."

The leader of the salt sellers said yes, but there was no relief on his face. What does the life or death of other tribes have to do with him? Most of the smuggled salt sellers in this area are related to the party, because the Great Song Dynasty banned smuggled salt, so they naturally stood on the side of the other party. Now the three shops selling fine salt can be said to be the bottom of the kettle, and these private salt dealers are concerned about what to do with the green and white salt from the party.

As long as you have your back to the party, you can always find a bite to eat. If the salt of the party item cannot be sold, they will lose their use value for the party item, and where will they survive in the future? Trafficking in illicit salt was already a capital crime in the Great Song Dynasty, and if you lose the backer of the party, I am afraid that the future will be difficult, and you must find a way.
