Xuande

Chapter 290 The person who knows the current affairs is Junjie
The Qiang people don't know the etiquette of the Han family, and they don't know what is modest. They only know that the weak are preyed on by the strong, and only the strong can survive. The weak should thank God every day they live.

Of course, not only the Qiang people, but also the borderlands of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Youzhou, Bingzhou, Liangzhou, and several states in the south. In fact, because of the harsh living environment and poor education, people's way of thinking and The way of thinking of the Han people in the Central Plains is very different.

At the beginning of the troubled times, the group of frontier warriors who caused chaos in the world, represented by Lu Bu, Xiao Fengxian's behavior was simply commonplace, and they didn't take it seriously at all.

In the end, even though his parents and family were in Cao Cao's hands, Ma Chao decided to rebel against Cao, and finally let his father Ma Teng and his family be killed by Cao Cao to sacrifice the flag.

These behaviors, which were considered ruthless and shameless by people at the time and later generations, were an important manifestation of the fundamental difference in behavioral logic between the Han people in the border areas and the Han people in the Central Plains at that time.

According to their logic, there is nothing wrong with doing so, so to deal with this group of people, you cannot use the logic of the Central Plains, but use the logic of the border.

I am stronger than you, and I can look down on you.

If you dare to resist, I will kill you.

So you have to be obedient, submit honestly, and don't make trouble.

understand?
I was surprised and delighted.

Such a bad thing can be obtained just because of surrender, so why not do it?
This is the premise of all cooperation.

Before eating a delicious meal of mutton, Liu Bei took his hand to see the young man off. After returning, the young man asked Ling Yuan about the mutual market.

"Reward him, reward him for understanding current affairs."

Before, I sighed to the officials around me that although Liu Bei is old, he does not have the demeanor of an ancient sage, just and strict. Such a person is the one we should lead and trust.

Liu Bei let out a warm laugh and bid farewell to this young man.

Liu Bei and this young man met at the mutual market in Longqi City, and the two sides jointly finalized the prices and exchange ratios of the two parties' goods.

Frightened by Liu Bei's power, he lowered his posture and came to see Liu Bei.

For the merchants and goods participating in the mutual market, the state government must personally check the customs. The merchant needs to submit the goods to the state government for inspection, and then quote the price for the state government to judge whether it is reasonable. permit.

Before that meeting started, this young man sent someone to Liangzhou Mufu, Jixian County to meet with Zhen Yan, who was in charge of the mutual market and other affairs, and submitted the list of goods we needed.

Liu Bei said with a smile: "He wants to continue to do the right thing and obey the general's order, and he wants to be an enemy of the Han army. In this way, he will be rewarded more. The general knows that they have always been short of salt, salt, yes There will be more of them.

"General Liu, that's it?"

Liu Bei waved his hand and asked the soldiers to hand over the two small cloth bags to the young guard. After the young man stepped down, he looked and found that it was the fine salt that he had seen before.

------

This is at least some kind of militant leader. I hate a luxurious and stable life more than fighting for life.

Sitting with Liu Bei and eating barbecue with a little carelessness, he also felt intoxicated by the delicious taste of mutton.

Of course, I haven't experienced the deliciousness of cooking grilled food with fine salt, and the feeling when eating meat is completely the same, so that the big bag of salt that Guan Yu gave me at that time has become my treasure.

Of course, if he wants to restrain his troops, he has to take a step back into the restricted area. If no one wants to benefit the government, if he delays reporting, it will be a small merit. This general has always been clear about rewards and punishments. penalty! "

Ling Yuan changed his face, and coldly invited him to eat less mutton.

This young man was very unhappy, and held Liu Bei's hand to express his gratitude: "I hope from now on, there will be no more disputes and wars between Shaodang Qiang and General Liu."

A little less than a month ago, at the beginning of July of the seventh year of Zhongping, the list of the first batch of merchants who would participate in the Heshaodang and Qiang tribe's mutual market was finalized.

"Remember what the general said."

The two small bags that time were enough for us to use for a long time, and this young master plans to go back and distribute some to the subordinates, so that we can be satisfied for a while, and it can’t appease those in the tribe who are concerned about this young master’s attitude of submission to Ling Yuan. from the sound.

"This is the worst thing I've ever done. Although you kill a lot, you're always obsessed with fighting, hahahahahaha!"

Ling Yuan smiled and jumped on the horse, walked behind the young man, reached out to hold the young man's hand, and invited me to enjoy stewed mutton and roasted mutton outside his camp.

"Almost forgot, the mutual market is only what they need, and you need it too. What kind of goods do they need from Liangzhou? Submit a list. You need their cattle, sheep and horses, and you will make a bad list, except for the fine salt that is given to them every year. In the middle, if there is nothing needed, it will be completed under the mutual market.

Zhen Yan reviewed it and thought there was something wrong, so he asked Liu Bei to have a look. Liu Bei looked at it and felt that there was something wrong, so he announced the matter through the state government channels, and asked the local merchants in charge of those goods to do it. Get ready, come to the state capital to report.

"Before there is no fine salt, there is no bitter feeling when eating. Eating meat becomes a kind of enjoyment. The tenderness and deliciousness of lamb are fully stimulated by fine salt. This feeling is really addictive."

"Little man doesn't say anything that you hate. He who knows the current affairs is a hero. A person who understands the situation clearly and knows what kind of decision to make is not a hero. From that perspective, at least, he is also a hero. You Appreciate him."

Coincidentally, since before I ate the fine-salt roast lamb and fine-salt stewed lamb that I served as the host, these powerful ministers around me have also become unable to bear the bitterness of the original salt. Taste, but because you have to get enough Liangzhou fine salt, you have to endure this feeling, and the food is sweet.

"You said that you treat people who obey government orders equally. In that world, there is something called reputation. With reputation, whether it is Han or Qiang, people will doubt a person. If reputation is there, no matter whether it is Han or Qiang. People will believe in one person.

"If this is the case, no matter how bad it is, if you are present, you will definitely be present."

Liu Bei and this young master made regulations on the mutual exchange ratio of those commodities, and took an oath in the form of an alliance, swearing that the two parties will use sincerity as the basis of the transaction. Get the rewards you deserve.

Ling Yuan slapped his head when he heard this.

Liu Bei thought it was impossible.

If you want to fight the Han army to the death, you can get everything, and you are satisfied?
As a shepherd of Liangzhou, you work to stabilize the border for the country. Without such an identity, how can you become a person with no credibility?Losing one's reputation for some righteous gain, the ancients would do that, so how can you do that? "

So the transaction is officially over.

When seeing Liu Bei, Liu Bei rode on the tall horse and looked down at the young man. The young man stood behind Liu Bei with a humble posture and dared to look directly at Ling Yuan.

The young man directly raised his head, facing the sun, looking at Liu Bei who was full of kindness, a coolness consciously passed through his heart.

For this reason, Yan Wen also suggested that Ling Yuan needed to do that. To deal with the Qiang people, it would be a good idea to make less money.

In the eyes of some officials, is that series of procedures necessary? In particular, the state government's request to reduce the price of goods with obviously inflated prices is considered appropriate by some officials.

"It's the worst."

PS: I still ate dumplings this morning. The cabbage stuffed dumplings were very bad, like leeks and shepherd’s purse. You are very angry, so add another chapter!
Liu Bei suddenly raised his voice and yelled, which startled the young man very much.

The principle of the mutual market is fairness and justice. The prices of all goods are calculated according to the target price. You cannot negotiate prices with each other after the mutual market, such as salt, silk cloth, brocade, etc., and cattle, sheep and horses. Then go back to the mutual market according to the price, and you will be there every time the mutual market, how? "

On the Shaodangqiang side, the main trading goods are live cattle, sheep, horses, bone products, fur products, kumiss, etc., while the Liangzhou government side mainly trades salt, silk cloth, brocade, tile lacquer porcelain and other life and handicrafts. .

Yan Wen had something to say, felt ashamed, made progress slowly, and praised again.

So Liu Bei personally led the team and took us to Longqi City, where the captain in the west of Jincheng County was stationed, to start a trade with the Shaodangqiang trade team led by this young man himself.
