Datang: The prince of salted fish was overheard by Li Er

Under Li You's puzzled eyes, Chai Zhewei explained.

"These Hu people with the nine surnames of Zhaowu are the best at doing business. Some of them have been to Luoyang as early as the Eastern Han Dynasty."

"Although there have been wars in the Central Plains these years, the road to the Western Regions through these Hu people with nine surnames in Zhaowu has not been decided."

"The people you see today were originally attached to the Turks. However, both the Jieli Khan of the Eastern Turks and the Tongyehu Khan of the Western Turks imposed heavy taxes, which made them miserable."

"But now thanks to you, isn't the Tang Dynasty and the Turks officially engaged in business?"

"So these people fled out under the pretext of doing business."

"When they arrived, they also brought a lot of Turkic secrets."

"These secrets made Honglu Temple attach great importance to them. After making a decision, they are going to place them in Chang'an City."

"I don't know what the Jingzhao Mansion thinks, and finally they are resettled in these two cities!"

Hearing Chai Zhewei's series of explanations, Li You immediately understood.

[Zhaowu's nine surnames are Sogdians, or Hu people. 】

At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu broke the Yue clan and forced them to move westward. The Yue clan whose hometown was Zhaowu in Hexi (Zhaowu is the royal city, now Zhaowu in Linze, Gansu Province, near Zhangye) fled westward, entered the Sogdia region of Central Asia, and conquered the local area. Aborigines formed several city-states.

The city-states are relatively independent, but the king's surname is Zhaowu.

The Sogdian city-states headed by Kang were formed among the various city-states, including An, Cao, Shi, Mi, He, Shi, Mu, Bi and other states, collectively referred to as the "Nine Surnames of Zhaowu".

The word "Zhaowu" was first seen in Zhaowu County (now Gansu), Zhangye County, where "Geography" belongs to in "Hanshu". "Book of Biography of the Western Regions".

According to Chinese historical records, he originally lived in Zhaowu City in the north of the Qilian Mountains. He was beaten away by the Huns and moved westward to the Hezhong area of ​​Central Asia. The branches and commoners were divided into kings. He had nine surnames including Kang, An, Cao, Shi, Mi, Shi, He, and Mu. Zhaowu, so it is called the nine surnames of Zhaowu.

Later, the nine surnames of Zhaowu also became the general name for the Sogdians or their descendants who came to the Central Plains from the Sogdian region of Central Asia during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Sui and Tang Dynasties in China.

Of course, there was a simpler collective term for these people in the Tang Dynasty, that is, Hu people.

When Jieli Khan of East Turkic came to Tang Dynasty, the tribes with nine Zhaowu surnames in the original Turks entered the fortress, and Tang set up Liuhuzhou in order to resettle these nine Zhaowu surnames.

Speaking of it, the grievances and grievances between the nine surnames of Zhaowu and Datang are also entangled.

After they belonged to the Tang Dynasty, they were under the jurisdiction of the Anxi Protectorate. At the same time, they began to be invaded by the Arab Empire. They asked the Tang Dynasty for help many times, accepted the title of king bestowed by the Tang Dynasty, and resisted the Arab Empire.

The nine surnames of Zhaowu became a major force that cannot be ignored in the Tang Dynasty, and at the same time contributed a lot of famous generals to the Tang Dynasty in the middle period.

However, An Lushan and Shi Siming, the leaders of the Anshi Rebellion, the biggest crisis in the Tang Dynasty, were Zahu in Yingzhou (now Chaoyang, Liaoning), and they were also descendants of Hu with nine surnames in Zhaowu.

[I really didn't expect that these Sogdians were so discerning, and they really deserved to be a nation known for being good at business. 】

[Maybe because I advanced the Turkic trade, so this large number of Hu people also arrived earlier. 】

[But you came here as soon as you came, why are you occupying my market. 】

Thinking of this, Li You couldn't help but looked at Chai Zhewei bitterly and said: "Although this is the decision of Honglu Temple and Jingzhao Mansion, it's rare to occupy other people's land like this without discussing it with the land owner! "

However, Chai Zhewei also said with a bitter face: "Hey, haven't these two squares been deserted all the time, and the location and size are more suitable, so Jingzhao Mansion directly decided."

"No, Jingzhao Mansion even gave me an order to communicate with the landlord."

"I advise you to bear with this matter. These barbarians can't live for long. When Honglu Temple has almost unearthed information, they will be allowed to leave."

"At that time, I also asked if we could change the place, but they didn't accept the suggestion. Instead, they said that this matter was decided by His Majesty, and I have no choice."

Seeing that Li You's face was a bit ugly, Chai Zhewei quickly added.

"During this time, they don't live in vain. Honglu Temple will pay them rent."

When it came to the rent, Chai Zhewei said with some embarrassment: "However, Honglu Temple has said that Honglu Temple does not have this money for the time being, and we have to wait until the Ministry of Households allocates funds."

"I think the people from Honglu Temple will come to you soon."

Hearing these words, Li You almost lost his temper.

[Li Er, are you kidding me again? 】

[People live in my place, but I have to pay for it myself! 】

[Fortunately, I asked Hexi to speed up the production of mo knives and horseshoes for you, and also asked them to study firearms, but I didn't expect that he knew the good thing about ruining me. 】

Seeing Li You's expression getting more and more ugly, Chai Zhewei naturally understood how much Li You valued these two places.

He hurriedly said again: "The barbarians like King Yan have only moved in not long ago, and many things can still be discussed."

"Whether it's Honglu Temple or Jingzhao Mansion, they can actually walk around."

Speaking of this, Chai Zhewei glanced at Yan Liben behind Li You again.

This time, Yan Liben knew that Chai Zhewei had something confidential to tell Li You, so he resigned.

After Yan Liben left, Li You immediately asked, "Cousin Chai, what do you mean by discussing?"

"I have a pretty good relationship with Honglu Temple, but I really don't know Jingzhao Mansion."

However, Chai Zhewei said with a chuckle: "Although you don't know the Governor of Jingzhao Mansion, you are also a family!"

This time, Li You didn't understand again.

Seeing Li You's puzzled eyes, Chai Zhewei didn't make him wait too long and said: "The current Jingzhao Mansion Yin Guanguo Gongyang Lord Yang Gongren is your uncle Yang's elder brother."

"I think it's not difficult for those barbarians to live in another city with Uncle Yang interceding for you in this matter."

The Uncle Yang mentioned by Chai Zhewei here is Li You's Fifth Uncle Yang Shidao.

Li You said with some embarrassment: "I'm afraid Uncle Yang doesn't take my face seriously."

Since the last time Duan Lun served as Minister of the Ministry of Industry and hosted a banquet for uncles in the food city, the relationship between Li You and several uncles has also risen sharply.

Not only Master Feng has become the long history of Shence Mansion, but Duan Lun and Dou Dan also have a lot of cooperation with Li You.

But this time, Chai Shao's army went out to fight, and they got Li You's great help again.

So among the five uncles, only Yang Shidao and Li You are a little distant now.

Of course, there is a reason for this alienation.

In Yang Shidao's heart, Concubine Yang is a member of his Yang family, and Concubine Yang's prince, Li Ke, is closer to him.

At the same time, Yang Shidao is now in the Ministry of Officials with Prince Li Chengqian, and their relationship is much better than that of Li You.

So suddenly asking Li You to ask Yang Shidao for help made him feel a little flustered.

However, at this time, Chai Zhewei laughed again.

"If it was any other time, it might be really embarrassing for you to go to Uncle Yang, but now is a great time!"
