sweeping the world

Chapter 90 Civilization or Barbarism

Ji Chang wanted to go to Jin to "buy" a noble girl, but he had to face the premise that Liu Yan must be at least the king of a country. If he was a minister of Zhao, he might not have much hope.

The Hu people established their own countries, but very few proclaimed themselves emperors, because Huaxia Zhengshuo was still exerting pressure on them.Just look at Shi Hu. He doesn't have Shi Le's courage and ability. Not long after he ascended the throne, he removed the emperor title and changed it to heaven king.It is common for the rest of the Hu people to establish a country, and it is quite common for them to call themselves kings, and there are quite a few who claim to be kings of heaven, but none of them claim to be emperors.Because they know too well that the Jin State basically doesn't care about what they don't want to be emperors. In fact, the Jin State can't control it at all.

There is such a fact that the Hu people established the country and proclaimed themselves kings, but the kings of the Hu people basically had official positions conferred by the state of Jin.Oh, that's right, Shihu from Hou Zhao's side did not have an official position in Jin when he was emperor, but after he changed his title to Heavenly King, Jin sent someone to give him an official position.

In order to make Liu Yan the king of a country, Ji Chang felt that he should work harder, at least to subdue the surrounding powerful and powerful families first.Of course, the pursuit of a woman surnamed Cui is still more practical, but there is also a prerequisite, which is to become the sheriff of Changguang County.

Waiting for Liu Yan to become the sheriff of Changguang County, Ji Chang will go to Leling County in person, no matter what, she can't be a concubine.Ji Chang believed that Liu Yan's becoming the sheriff was just the first step, and if the time allowed, he should seek to become the governor of Qingzhou or the governor of the state.Ji Chang knew that the Cui family in Leling County was a side branch, and it would be too shabby to give birth to a daughter from a concubine, so it should be a noble daughter from the direct line.

Once Wangmen Cui's family marries a prostitute, Ji Chang knows very well that this will bring great benefits to Liu Yan's career!Not only the Cui family will bet on Liu Yan, but also local tycoons and families will have some attitude changes.

The tyrants near Huangdao District are basically here in the past few days. Ji Chang has already received a group before, and will receive the second group today.Each batch is based on ten companies. When there is a special need, Ji Chang will contact them individually in private.

Li Tan communicated with Li Kuang as he wished. The two Li families are relatives, but to be honest, they are only relatives. Although they have contacts in normal times, they are not very close at the family level.On the contrary, Li Tan and Li Kuang have a good friendship, that's why Li Tan is excited when he sees A Xiang or Li Kuang.

"So, Chengji is already one of the stewards of the Han Dynasty?" Li Tan was a little relieved, but also a little regretful: "That's fine..."

In ancient times, Biao characters could not be called indiscriminately, and at the same time, Biao characters could not be taken randomly. It can be seen that Li Kuang Biao’s character Chengji was responsible for such an important mission, "carrying the foundation industry". Since Wubao was attacked by internal and external attacks, he is gone. Foundation.However, he has no intention of giving up. Since the leader of the Han tribe can reward those who have made great achievements, he has enough patience and confidence to climb up.

Li Kuang asked with confusion on his face, "Who is Rui Cai here?"

Li Tan talked about his purpose, and finally said: "With Chengji here, can you give me a recommendation?"

Li Kuang hesitated for a moment or nodded. It is something that is beneficial to both parties. Li Tan bought weapons or salt, and the Han Ministry originally wanted to sell them, but I just hoped that Li Tan would not think about some unrealistic things, such as lowering the price. What.Li Tan was ordered by his father to be interviewed by Ji Chang. Li Kuang could also guess that Lijiawu Fort was too close to the new resettlement place of the Han Dynasty, and he seemed insecure.

"Rui Cai." Li Kuang seemed to be emotionally moved, looked around, and lowered his voice to a volume that could be heard by both of them: "Chang Shi is looking for the next target to attack, can Rui Cai listen in detail?"

"This father already understands." Li Tan twitched the corner of his mouth: "This time, my younger brother brought three carts of grain and one cart of cloth. If the Han tribe still attacks my Li family like this, everyone should be in danger. ?”

Li Kuang smiled and nodded.In his heart, he was quite depressed. He originally wanted to achieve certain goals, but he thought it would be difficult to use Li Tan's family.

The two chatted without saying a word, until someone came to summon Li Kuang.

"I will leave tomorrow. If Ruicai has something to do, he can send someone to look for me at the military fort twenty miles south of Jijin City." Li Kuang said this and left quickly.

Naturally, someone would come to greet Li Tan. He was led into a wooden lobby. When he arrived, there were already representatives of the other nine families sitting in it, but there was no person in charge from the Han Department present.

The layout of the lobby is relatively simple, with several rows of support frames fixed to the long tables on the ground.There are movable benches at the left and right ends of the long table. While chatting with those who arrived earlier, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door.

The people from the Han Dynasty came over, and they were carrying some plates, of course, there were all kinds of tableware and food on the plates.

From the ancient pre-Qin period to the present, the habit of meal sharing system has been preserved and implemented.All kinds of tools and types of shapes were quickly placed on the tables of the representatives of various companies.

Tableware is more complicated. There are bowls, plates, bowls, cups, cups, spoons, spoons, chopsticks, daggers, and forks. Among them, plates, bowls, and bowls are naturally used to hold food. There are vegetables or meat on the plate. However, there is water in the bowl, and soup in the bowl.By the way, clean water is not for drinking, but for cleaning such as spoons, spoons, chopsticks, daggers, and forks.

Only people with background can see from the dining arrangements of the Han Dynasty. Their faces became serious in an instant, because they were sitting on benches, not futons, or they should have knelt down and adjusted to sit in a dignified posture.

"It's so awkward." Fu Wei couldn't help but turned his head and said to a middle-aged man who looked heroic: "The Han Ministry is waiting for me, is it the Han ceremony, or..."

The heroic middle-aged man was named Gai Ning. He cast a glance at Fu Wei, who was not familiar with him, and did not say a word.

Yes, if it was according to the etiquette of the Hu people, there would not be so many tableware, and a large basin should be brought, and no other tableware would be prepared.

But then again, people of some status will have daggers on their bodies in this day and age.The dagger has two purposes, one is to cut flesh, and the other is to defend oneself when necessary.

If one wants to follow the Han etiquette, each person should not have a separate table, but also a futon, a maid is required to scout, a fire must be provided, and so on.

Some people were in a daze, when a middle-aged man in a scholar's uniform appeared at the door, and those who had inquired beforehand would know that it was Ji Chang.

It was Ji Chang who came, but he didn't enter the lobby when he walked to the door, he seemed to be frowning, turned his head and ordered something to the entourage behind him, turned away... left?
Everyone was about to look at each other, when a person came in in a hurry, and he crossed his hands in salute: "Your lords, please follow the villain."

Li Tan stood up without saying a word, saw Li Kuang and chatted with him, he felt very relaxed.

A group of people got up one after another and walked behind the visitors. They didn't speak, but just made eye contact with familiar people. Most of them were confused, but also surprised and disdainful. Most of them were cautious.

It wasn't very far, but they came to the opposite side from a lobby. They walked in and glanced around. First, they saw Ji Chang kneeling and sitting behind a table in front of him. There were five empty tables on the left and right. A few, and there are futons that should be there.

That's right, look at the objects placed on the tables, and see that there are incense burners next to each table, it is really arranged according to the Han etiquette.After all, apart from the simple look of the lobby, there are basically everything that should be there.

"Everyone..." Ji Chang waved his long sleeves, "Sit down."

It was still Li Tan who took the lead, but Ji Chang took a few more glances.

Ji Chang has been staring at him. Hao Qiang is basically a very open-eyed guy. From the seats they each choose, you can basically see the strength of their strength.

"Under Ji Chang, Tian will be my main staff member, the chief of the army." Ji Chang's self-introduction cannot be omitted, with his hands on his lower abdomen, his eyes scanning the crowd: "Gentlemen, introduce yourself?"

Representatives from one house after another had to stand up one after another after they had already knelt down.Qin is on the left and Han is on the right.Now most of them still follow the Han etiquette. Naturally, the people from the right introduce themselves first, and the people who go to the back are weaker. They themselves divide this point more carefully.

"So..." Ji Chang spoke unhurriedly, and his gestures were reasonable.He calmed down, staring sharply at each one of them, and asked, "Masters, do you want to be civilized or barbaric?"

Only then did the representatives of the powerful come to realize that the scene just now was deliberately done, and it was not a mistake in the reception etiquette of the Han Department.

Civilization, or barbarism?They can be understood as obeying or resisting.
