Everyone will be suspicious of Liu Xin's words, in their eyes, the barbarians are unreasonable and have no faith at all.

In the past few days, Liu Xin has lived in Wuling City, except for letting people constantly listen to the movements of the barbarians, he has not made any movements, Ling'er still massages him every night, and the small movements on his hands are even bolder than the night in Jiangling, but Liu Xin has never found the feeling of that night, after all, he is worried, I don't know if Feng Yuan will come, whether his words are too full, he is not afraid of using force, but in this way, I don't know how many young lives he will take on,

Liu Xin was anxious in his heart, but he had to be calm and calm on the surface, so after five days, Kuai Liang walked in happily and said: "The lord is really like a god, and he is bound to see him." ”

Feng Lie has few opponents in the clan, he has always been arrogant, he didn't expect to be captured alive after only one round under Zhang Fei, and then he was punched away by Dian Wei, and Dian Wei didn't seem to use all his strength, especially Dian Wei, who gave him a head-on blow in terms of brute force that Feng Lie is best at, so that Feng Lie was completely convinced,

After Feng Lie was captured, Feng Yuan's whole family was anxious like ants on a hot pot, if Feng Lie had a good one, the Feng family would be extinct, in fact, Feng Yuan also had a daughter, but the barbarians, like the Han people, also passed on men and not women, his mood at the moment can be imagined, to come out of the clan, and a big battle with the Han army, it is possible to annoy the Han army, and kill his son with a knife, if he just does not move, I don't know whether his son is dead or alive in the hands of the Han army,

In this way, Feng Yuan didn't sleep all night, the sky was still bright, Feng Lie suddenly returned to the village, the whole family was overjoyed, and when he heard Feng Lie finish what happened, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought,

Feng Yuan is not the first time to pull the flag and rebel, in the past, when Cao Yu was the Taishou of Wuling, he also sent troops to clear and suppress many times, but every time he was defeated, he had to compromise with the barbarians, out of Lin Zhen's incident, Feng Yuan and the old plan, who would have thought, this time the Han army was violent, fought several battles in succession, the barbarians were defeated, and suffered heavy casualties, this Han army was well-equipped and brave, even in the jungle battles that the barbarians were best at, they did not fall behind, and the Han army encountered in the past was completely different, Now most of the barbarians in Wuling County have focused on Fengjia Village, people eat horses and chew every day, the consumption is huge, the Han army is surrounded in front of the village and does not leave, if the troops are not their opponents, the people sent to Lingling and Guiyang County for help have not replied, Feng Yuan has long been anxious, and will agree to his son's idea of robbing the camp, this time the war is not well resolved, the position of the Feng family among the barbarians from now on, it will deteriorate, and there will be no place for them, Feng Yuan and the elders have discussed several times, it is difficult to choose, at this time, there are clansmen to report, The Han army really retreated fifteen miles to the village, so they decided to go to Wuling to see Liu Xin, so it dragged on for many days.

When Liu Xin got the news, he was naturally overjoyed, and walked out of the house quickly, but saw an old man with gray hair kneeling on the ground with his bare upper body outside the door, his hands tied behind him, and a stick with a thick bowl mouth tied to his back, Feng Lie and a girl kneeling around the old man,

Feng Lie saw Liu Xin come out, and hurriedly whispered a few words in the old man's ear, and the old man said loudly: "The grass people Feng Yuan came to ask for the guilt and begged the lord to punish him." ”

The weather was still a little chilly in early spring, Liu Xin hurriedly stepped forward to help the old man up, took off his robe and draped it on him, and said, "Patriarch Feng, what are you doing, I invited you to drink wine, let him pass the past." ”

Feng Yuan listened to Liu Xin's words, and said with excitement on his face: "My lord, the sinner has heard that you Han people have a story called 'Bear the Jing Petition', and the sinner will also come to bear the Jing Petition today, so please take this thorn tree and beat the sinner." ”

"Patriarch Feng, you have to bear the guilt of Jing Plea, you can carry a bundle of thorns, why do you want to tie such a thick stick, it's not a joke to use it to beat you." Liu Xin couldn't help laughing, this was probably an enhanced version of Jing Jing's guilt, he helped Feng Yuan untie the ropes on his body, and said to Feng Lie and the girl who were kneeling on the ground: "You all get up." ”

Feng Yuan pointed at the two of them and said: "This is a pair of sons and daughters of the criminals, today I will bring them here and hand them over to the adults as hostages, and my Wuling Pu clan will be sent by the adults from now on." ”

Feng Lie was let go by Liu Xin, he naturally knew, the girl next to Feng Lie, Liu Xin had already guessed that it might be Feng Yuan's daughter, Liu Xin only thought that Feng Yuan brought his children to come, and they asked him to take the guilt together, but he didn't expect that he sent his children as hostages, which made Liu Xin quite surprised, in fact, this kind of thing is very common in the barbarians, and there are often fights between the tribes within the barbarians, and it is common for each other to take hostages in order to quell the fight, of course, Feng Yuan does not dare to ask for mutual hostage with Liu Xin, In order to show his sincerity, he also brought his daughter over,

When I came to Wuling, Liu Xin saw a barbarian woman for the first time, and couldn't help but look up and down at the girl, if you just look at the appearance, the difference between the Han people is not very big, the skin is fair, the posture is beautiful, a pair of big black eyes are watery, seductive, and her brother doesn't look like it at all, Liu Xin nodded secretly, people say that barbarian women are amorous, and it is true, just that pair of eyes, so that men are easy to be moved when they see it, the barbarian woman's surname is different from that of the Han people, the girl saw Liu Xin looking at herself, not shy, but smiled at him, charming and infinite，

Liu Xinmei has seen a lot, and this immunity is still there, he nodded slightly, and said, "Patriarch Feng, don't stand at the door, go in and talk together." ”

Feng Lie suddenly shouted, "General Dian." ”

Dian Wei was about to turn around with Liu Xin and enter, when he heard Feng Lie calling him, he remembered that Feng Lie had said that day that he would come back to him as long as he didn't die, so he couldn't help clenching his fists and said, "Why, if you still don't admit defeat, then let's fight again." ”

Feng Lie hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Don't fight, don't fight, I'll serve, can the general take a step to speak, I have something I want to talk to the general." ”

Dian Wei didn't know why, he looked at Liu Xin, Liu Xin didn't have anything to worry about, so he smiled and said, "Evil, you take them to the side hall to rest first, and I'll have a good talk with the old patriarch." ”

This long talk, from the morning to the dusk, Liu Xincai and Feng Yuan walked out of the study with smiles on their faces, and even lunch was sent to the study to talk and eat.

Originally, most of the barbarians lived in the mountains and forests, and also planted a small amount of fields, but mainly relied on hunting in the forest, picking mountain goods for a living, the lack of materials in the mountains, the clothes worn on the body, the pig iron used to make knives and axes, and the necessities of salt, all had to go outside the mountains to buy, and the barbarian women with a little status also wore a large number of silver jewelry, gold and silver and other items, even among the Han people are very valuable, buying these things requires a lot of property, selling mountain goods and fur to the Han people has become the main economic source of the barbarians,

For a long time, the trade between the barbarians was monopolized by a few scholar families, and these scholar families had the support of the government behind them, and often joined hands to lower the price of mountain goods and furs, and they could make huge profits when they changed hands.

No matter the barbarian, everyone wants to live better, and, in Liu Xin's view, everyone has the right to live a better life, understand this, things will be easy to do, Liu Xin has always advocated fair competition, repeatedly emphasized that the government only strictly manages the market, and can not intervene in buyers and sellers, which is also an important reason for Jingzhou's business to develop.

After a long talk, Liu Xin had a very deep understanding of the living conditions of the barbarians and their needs, and also made a number of commitments.

In the past, the government did not allow the barbarians to enter the city to trade on their own, but had to be purchased by the Han merchants, of course, the barbarians did not have the ability to organize large-scale caravans, a large number of mountains, furs to transport to various places, this situation, Liu Xin is not clear, but now the roads in Jingzhou are flat and wide, extending in all directions, as long as the barbarians transport the mountain goods and furs out of the mountains and forests, they can be easily sent to the counties, Liu Xin has promised to allow the barbarians to trade freely throughout Jingzhou, and enjoy the same rights as Han merchants, As long as you pay taxes according to the regulations,

In addition to the aristocracy, most of the barbarians do not know Chinese, which is bound to bring inconvenience to the barbarian trade, Feng Yuan just raised this issue, Liu Xin immediately promised to send some scholars into various villages to teach Chinese, Chinese characters and some Han customs, in this regard, Liu Xin is unwanted, cultural import, exchange is easier to bring a sense of national identity,

For the fuse of this incident, in fact, it involves the issue of Han barbarian marriage, on this issue, Liu Xin is in favor, after all, he comes from later generations, the view of marriage is very different from the people of this era, the barbarian population in Jingzhou is only more than 100,000 people, only one-sixtieth of the Han people, if the Han barbarian marriage can really be realized, Liu Xin believes that in a few generations, the barbarians will be assimilated by the Han people, how can he oppose such a result, but to achieve Han barbarian marriage is full of obstacles, The living conditions of the Han people are much better than those of the barbarians, and the Han women are naturally reluctant to marry into the mountains and forests, although the barbarian women are amorous, most of the Han men pay attention to orthodoxy, and few people are willing to marry the barbarian women as their wives, however, on this issue, Liu Xin still expressed his attitude, as long as both men and women are willing, the government will not interfere, and will provide appropriate convenience,

The living environment of the barbarians in the mountains and forests is very bad, which also develops their brave and aggressive surname, after all, the population that a mountain forest can carry is limited, with the increase of the barbarian population, their survival will become more and more difficult, at this time, if it coincides with the occurrence of civil strife or external troubles in the Han Dynasty, the barbarians will take the opportunity to encroach on the land and property of the Han people will inevitably occur in large quantities, so, without waiting for the requirements of the source, Liu Xin also took the initiative to allow the barbarian mountain people to help in the places where the Han people live, and even participate in the engineering team and the army,

These promises made Feng Yuan very satisfied, and when he walked out of the study, his heart was already happy, this time it was really worth the trip.

As soon as Liu Xin and Feng Yuan walked out of the study, Kuai Liang, Dian Wei, Zhang Fei and Feng Lie, who were already waiting outside the door, stepped forward together, only to see Feng Yuan's daughter suddenly fall to the ground towards Liu Xinbai and said, "The people's daughter Feng Yingying has something to ask the adult to be the master. ”
