Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 157
Ruo Rong forcibly promoted Buddhism in Yuzhang, but it was not very popular among the people.

Just like other counties in Yuzhang resisted Ruorong, after some conflicts broke out between the mountain people in Zhongling Mountain and the Buddhist people under Ruorong, they changed their original routine and seldom went to sell goods near Yuzhang City. The buyers are in the market.

But the mountain people still need to obtain supplies such as salt and cloth from outside the mountain, so they can only go further to Poyang County, Yuhan County and other places to find merchants outside the mountain for transactions.

It can be said that the mountain people in Zhongling Mountain also feel a little disgusted with the places under Ruo Rong's control, and naturally they don't have a good impression of Ruo Rong.

Now that Zhu Wei is here, it is said that the official army is going to deal with Ruo Rong. In terms of attitude, it can be regarded as being kind to the mountain people in Zhongling Mountain. Naturally, these mountain people have a good impression. If Zhu Wei can solve Ze Rong, then they Then you can go to the market near Yuzhang City like before.

This is why they are willing to help Zhu Wei, and Zhu Wei's game system will also judge them as allies.

After all, these Zhongling Mountains are not really deep mountains and wild mountains, and the mountain people in the mountains are not completely isolated from the world. They just hide in the mountains to avoid the government's taxes and corvees.

Generally speaking, these mountain people still hope that the government will find a good official, so that the world outside the mountain will be stable, and they can live a good life along with it.

Now Teng Huxiong, the head of the Heixiong Village, shows such a low profile to Zhu Wei, it is also out of a kind of awe of the people for the government, after all, the mountain people in the mountains don't know that the outside of the mountain is about to become a chaotic world , the government is not so prestige anymore.

They still feel that if the government outside the mountain is really determined to deal with the mountain people in Zhongling Mountain, they may not be safe hiding in the mountain.

So if Ruo Rong really gained a firm foothold in Yuzhang City, he might attack the mountain people in Zhongling Mountain and force people to preach Buddhism in the mountains, making the mountains look like the villages around Yuzhang City. into a dire situation.

Therefore, under this kind of thinking, Teng Huxiong respectfully invited Zhu Wei to the hall in Heixiong Village to entertain foreign guests. Please invite Zhu Wei and Pang Yan to taste fruit wine or something.

Zhu Wei took Pang Yan into the banquet hall of Black Bear Village and sat on the VIP table on the left. As for the two hundred Shanyue elite sword and shield hands he brought, they also temporarily stayed in the square outside the hall and got some The hospitality of wine and meat.

At this time, Teng Yuyan also left, but judging from what she said to Pang Yan before she left, it should be to go to get dressed, and she will come back to perform a dance later, and she wants to let Pang Yan know what she looks like.

Let’s not talk about this for the time being, let’s just say that at the banquet, Teng Huxiong also toasted Zhu Wei on behalf of the villagers in the various villages in Zhongling Mountain. After such a toast for a few wines, the host and guest slowly got to the point in accordance with the Chinese custom of talking about things. .

"Master Zhu, it is possible for you to use Zhongling Mountain this time, but in this way, the road inside Zhongling Mountain will have no secrets, and the people in the mountain are really worried that they will not be able to enjoy peace in the future. What to do!"

Although Teng Huxiong was a little overwhelmed by Zhu Wei's momentum in his heart, he could not help Zhu Wei for no reason. Since Zhu Wei had asked the mountain people of Zhongling Mountain this time, it was the time for him to put forward conditions on behalf of the mountain people. , perhaps the mountain people in the Zhongling Mountains can truly have their status recognized by the government, so that they can be autonomous and self-reliant in the Zhongling Mountains.

Of course, he was not prepared to raise the price himself. He first wanted to know what price Zhu Wei was willing to pay for it and what price he would give.

Zhu Wei smiled slightly when he heard the words. He had just arrived at Heixiong Village, and he was really surprised when he saw the fields reclaimed in the valley. It can reclaim fertile land and feed the people in Zhongling Mountain.

But after seeing the state of these mountain people in Heixiong Village, Zhu Wei felt a little bit more confident, so on the surface Zhu Wei took a sip of fruit wine, and did not directly respond to Teng Huxiong's words, but seemed to be chatting He said, "Master Teng Village, Heixiong Village in Zhongling Mountain has indeed found a blessed place in the mountains! I just don't know if the people in other villages in Zhongling Mountain also have such a blessed place to raise their lives?"

"This..., of course there is no such thing. The mountain people are also struggling to survive in the mountains. It is rumored from the ancestors of Huxiong that he found this treasure land just now under the guidance of the mountain god, and led his people to live in seclusion to avoid the catastrophe of the troubled times outside the mountain! Rough Calculated, it was already before the Jianwu period of the Han Dynasty, and it has been 80 to [-] years, and the family has been passed down for dozens of generations! After that, many outsiders fled to the mountains to escape the world, and the Teng family took him in. Finding a place in the mountains to open a village and live, we will have the current situation in Zhongling Mountain. However, except for Heixiong Village, the other fifteen or so villages in the mountain are barely surviving, and occasionally we need food from our Heixiong Village. !"

Teng Huxiong didn't understand what Zhu Wei meant, but he talked about the situation in Zhongling Mountain with emotion. Obviously, Teng Huxiong's ancestors fled to this place when Wang Mang's new dynasty usurped the Han and the world was in chaos before the establishment of the Eastern Han Dynasty. The practice of avoiding disasters in Zhongling Mountain has continued to this day.

It's just that his so-called mountain god's advice is a bit exaggerated. Anyway, it was more than 180 years ago. Who knows how the Teng family could find a blessed place in the mountains like Heixiong Village in Zhongling Mountain to escape from the world and live in seclusion.

"Well, life in the mountains is not easy. Even in a blessed land like Black Bear Village, where you can cultivate fields to support the people, I'm afraid there are still a lot of things missing! Wei just saw that most of the mountain people in the mountains wear leather and carry wood. Because of the shape of the mountains and wilderness, Wei is really worried that if the mountain people live in the mountains for too long, they may forget their ancestors of China and become barbaric savages! Isn't this a sign of retreat against the trend? Life in the mountains cannot last long!"

Zhu Wei deliberately followed Teng Huxiong's words, and sighed in his mouth. Such sensational words, in terms of Zhu Wei's former identity as a code word nerd, are also easy to speak.

"This……"

After listening to Zhu Wei's words, Teng Huxiong was a little speechless, which is actually a fact.

Looking at the people in the cottage wearing animal skins, holding bamboo and wooden guns, and gravel axes and hammers, one can know that living in the mountains for a long time does not lead to better civilization development, but instead has a tendency to become savage.

The other Heixiong village elders who accompanied him in this hall and the village masters from other villages also looked at each other in blank dismay, feeling that what Zhu Wei said made some sense.

But they also seem to have heard Zhu Wei's meaning, which is to let them leave the mountain and go out to live.

So Teng Huxiong quickly said again, "However, the taxes and taxes outside the mountain are hard to pay, and the corvee kills us. It has never given us the mountain people a way to live. Therefore, although the mountain is bitter, we can still survive. It is also considered free and easy. !"

Apparently Teng Huxiong wanted to silence Zhu Wei, and the provincial Zhu Wei said something about letting the mountain people come out of the mountain to settle down...
