"Okay, I know what you mean, I may be a little too anxious, this is not good, let's analyze the case, what is the treasure of Ailao Kingdom, why have I never heard of a Ailao country?"

"You haven't heard of it because there are too few records, and it has two other names, Daguang Kingdom and Chengxiang Kingdom, which are more familiar than the name Ailao."

Jiang Duxiu explained with a smile, and began to tell about the Ailao Kingdom.

Ailao State was developed from the original Ailao tribe.With the formation and continuous expansion of the Ailao Kingdom, many ethnic groups lived in the country, and the Ailao nation no longer only refers to the original Ailao tribe, but includes all "nationals" including the Ailao tribe.The population of Ailao Kingdom in its heyday reached more than 5 households and more than 50 people according to the two included statistics in historical records.

They were mistakenly called "Shu cloth".
