The days when I pretended to be a cat in the Forbidden City[Comprehensive]

At the beginning of the first year of Emperor Jing's Zhongyuan, the golden autumn is October.

This day is destined to be recorded in history.

Because from this day on, the relationship between Han and Hungary has entered a new stage.It was the first time that the royal court of the Huns sent a team to celebrate the new year, carrying gifts to other countries to celebrate the new year. The friendly gesture almost made most of the insiders almost drop their jaws in amazement.

The Xiongnu, a nation accustomed to plundering, would seriously prepare gifts for the New Year?

The surrounding nomads were envious when they heard the news.The same is married to a princess, how can a big man get this kind of treatment?Why didn't we?This is not fair at all!

But who to reason with?

Weak countries have no diplomacy since ancient times.

In the final analysis, when one has strength, it is called diplomacy, and if one does not have strength, it is called flattery.

It is precisely because the strength of the big Han is getting stronger that they can be recognized by the Huns and recognize that you are a regime worthy of respect.

If the country is weak, even sending a hundred princesses will be useless.

For the Xiongnu royal family, this is also an opportunity for them to enter the internal power of the Han Dynasty openly.

This mysterious country in the south has made the Huns curious for a long time. Many of the older generations in the tribe had followed the old Shang Shanyu to attack the Ganquan Palace, and several had witnessed Mao Dun Shanyu besieging the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty. Climbing in Baishan.

In the memory of these old people, the big man is dilapidated, and the people are weak, even weaker than lambs.

When they were evacuating, even the Han people, who could not bear the Chu-Han war for many years, took the initiative to leave with them. At that time, the big Han was no different from any country conquered by the Xiongnu.

Before marrying the princess, Yi Zhixie went outside the Great Wall to greet her. The Great Wall left by the Qin Empire divided nomadic and farming into two worlds, and he didn't know what was going on inside the Great Wall.

But this time, as a gesture of friendship, the Han court opened the border gate that the Huns most wanted to open, allowing the Huns envoys to reach the outskirts of Chang'an.

This is the treatment of the Han vassal king.

There are many people who are dissatisfied with such actions, especially the soldiers at the border, they can't understand what the official is thinking at all.

The border guards are not just a city wall. Strictly speaking, the city wall is only a part of the entire guarding offensive. There are forts, forts, and countless dark passages under the wall. These are the biggest secrets of a customs area and can even be Said it was the hole card.This area is a place where the people are not allowed to pass, but now Shangfeng allows the Huns to go there in a fair manner!

How can the soldiers below accept this?

However, regarding this issue, the attitude of the Shangfeng people was very vague, and even the careful soldiers found that these big brothers seemed to be extremely happy to walk with the wind these days, which made the soldiers very angry.

Some reckless sergeants rolled up their sleeves and wanted to argue with Shangfeng, but they were suppressed in the end.

The reason is very simple, it doesn't matter if there is one or two, if everyone above is like this, it is absolutely impossible to say that there is no problem.

There must be something good enough for the higher-ups to agree to open the customs area.

"No matter how great the benefits are!" A soldier threw his hat on the ground fiercely, his eyes were reddened, "What if the Huns really send someone who is good at analyzing the terrain? In the future, we will not be able to pass this level." Is it a place where they can come and go whenever they want?"

Suddenly, a soldier boldly guessed, "Then what if the Huns tried their best to analyze the secrets in our pass, and then we overthrow the cover as soon as they leave?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he was slapped on the back of the head.

Shangfeng, who was still playing the negative role in their discussion just now, was standing in front of them. At this time, Shangfeng had a very serious expression, without the slightest smile from the previous few days. If you lose face in front of others, I will kick you to pieces!"

The soldiers looked at each other, and after a while, one of them asked Shangfeng cautiously about what to do when the Huns entered the customs. Shangfeng rolled his eyes, "Do you want to worry about this? Have you trained in the formation? Or in the martial arts formation?" Already? Do you remember how to move?"

As a result, this group of soldiers was slapped on the back of the head by Shangfeng alone.Afterwards, Shangfeng scolded very domineeringly: "I will worry about it! You don't need to worry about this problem, don't mess around."

After that, he wobbled and led the horse and continued to walk around the city, the little eyes that looked at the city wall seemed eager to move.

So what the hell is going on here?Brother Bing was very puzzled.

In fact, the matter is very simple, because the higher-ups ordered that after the Xiongnu soldiers left, they would start to carry out major renovations to the border gates during the winter when the Xiongnu cats were wintering.

In the north, it is windy and snowy in winter, and people can be buried in the snow if one is not careful, but there is also an advantage, that is, it is dry.

This climate is very suitable for building with new materials.

The guard of honor of the Xiongnu stayed in Dahan for at most half a month, building the foundation non-stop as soon as the people left, and covering their heads while building a snow shed after the snow fell. Theoretically speaking, it was completely feasible.

According to the judgment of the superiors, the Xiongnu will definitely not come to disturb the border this year, because they are still waiting for the New Year gift from the Han Dynasty in two months.At most, it's small-scale harassment, and it's enough to pay attention to the residents outside the city at that time.

The old city walls will not be demolished first, and the city will be closed in winter. They will be able to play a double city wall in spring.

Of course, the possibility that the Xiongnu did not play their cards according to common sense cannot be ruled out, so they still have to focus on looking for position improvements.

Now the weakness shown by the big man will become the hardest place after a few months. If the Huns come to pick a soft persimmon, they hit an iron persimmon... Ouch!That's a pleasure to think about.

No, no, it's too restless.

This Shangfeng silently pressed down the corners of his mouth that grinned unknowingly to the ears. His emotions were too revealing. Fortunately, he interrupted in time just now, otherwise it would be bad if the spies listened to him.

Still have to learn from the boss.

After seeing the new materials, my boss didn't change his face, he didn't have any joy at all, he abruptly bluffed the officials sent by the court, let him ask for more craftsmen and raw materials, and agreed to increase the preparation of food and grass .

This is amazing. In comparison, I am too young.

So when Yi Zhixie led the Xiongnu cavalry slowly into the Yunzhong City Gate, which was impenetrable in the past, what he saw was a pair of red rabbit eyes and a bunch of indistinguishable expressions of joy and anger.

Uh... the expressions of these Han people are too strange!

Yi Zhi glanced sideways at the angry side and thought it was very normal, but the expression on the other side was so weird that he wanted to take two steps back.

But it's a pity that he is at the forefront, and he can't retreat if he wants to.

The Xiongnu don’t have much to say about guards of honor. The leader should stand at the forefront like a wolf and face all the challenges ahead.So Yi Zhixie is now facing this group of weird big Han people.

But he thought about it again, these people probably were all Han soldiers who had been beaten by them, maybe they don't know what expression to put on now?Thinking about it this way, I feel that there is nothing strange about these expressions.

Although he has no experience, he thinks that no matter which country they go to, they receive this kind of treatment.There is no way, the Xiongnu is so strong that he has no friends outside, and this expression of hatred, fear and patience is also quite beautiful when you look carefully.

He couldn't help thinking that when they met for the first time, their Hun Da Yan had the same expression.

... Tsk.

Thinking of the Princess Nangong in the royal court, Yi Zhixie felt a little complicated.

Many warriors of the Huns favored Han women, but he didn't. He used to think that Han women were not interesting, and he liked to conquer.

like challenges.

The women of the Han people are too weak, they can only cry and cry, but unlike the women of the Qiang people, those women are very energetic.But after seeing Nangong, he realized that maybe his understanding of Han women was too one-sided, or maybe Nangong was too special. In short, this thorn rose blooming on the grassland refreshed his understanding of women.

She is smart and decisive, and she is willing to learn about the Xiongnu, try their food, hunt with them, learn their songs, and understand their legends while following him to the prairie.

Her smile is as warm as the spring sun, and her every move has the unique softness of a Han woman.

She is a very special woman, however, she is the wife and sister-in-law of the military official Shan Yu.

The brave Huns will never spend too much energy on women, which is the secret of their success.

Their ancestors, the great Mao Dun Shanyu, did not spend much time on women and were willing to give up their beloved women to achieve success.Therefore, Yi Zhixie didn't want to have any misunderstanding with her brother about women.

He once suspected that this was Princess Han's plot, but when he avoided the Princess Nangong in the second half, he found that the princess didn't realize it. He obviously thought that his previous actions were all due to the enthusiasm of the Huns. This made him somewhat unhappy.

Well, it's the feeling of being punched into the wool.

In fact, Hun men do not lack this enthusiasm.

Because of her beauty and intelligence, many men are willing to introduce her to the vast grasslands, and present her with the most delicious wine and the freshest lamb.

Yi Zhixie just watched her being sent to the king's tent from a distance.

His elder brother was very proud of being able to marry the beautiful Princess Han, and even held a grand ceremony for her.He got drunk, patted Yi Zhixie on the shoulder and said, "Brother, brother will definitely marry you a Han princess in the future. We are two brothers, one for each of us."

Yi Zhixie refused, his reason being that only the great Khan of the Huns deserved to have a noble princess, and he was just a Zuoguli king.The military minister Shan Yu was very satisfied with his acquaintance.

Yi Zhixie felt a little tired from her brother's day-to-day temptations.

This exhaustion is not physical, but spiritual.

Sometimes he really thinks that his elder brother is old. When a man is no longer aggressive and starts to rack his brains to try to maintain his achievements, it means that he is beginning to age. It’s just that he didn’t expect his elder brother to change so much. quick.

This time Hanxiong celebrates the new year, Yi Zhixie himself does not support it, he thinks it is unnecessary.

How could a wolf and a rabbit be friends?And is it necessary for the wolf to know how the rabbit lives?As for what his brother said about studying their landforms, he also felt that it was meaningless.Because the iron hooves of the Xiongnu cavalry did not like the rugged mountain roads of the Han Dynasty, and their lifestyles were different, there was no need for the Huns to set foot inside the Han Dynasty.

Moreover, Yi Zhixie had to admit that the living environment of the big man was much better than that of the grassland.

But such an overly comfortable living environment can easily confuse the eyes of the Hun warriors.

The soft silk fabrics of a big man will stumble the galloping horses, the mellow wine will confuse the warrior's mind, and the soft women will make men indulge in their breasts.

Most importantly, their war horses cannot gallop quickly through the mountains and forests.

It is also because of this that Maodun Shanyu resolutely retreated from Baideng.

The great Modu Shanyu could withstand the temptation of a rich man's life, but could an ordinary Hun soldier do it?

Yi Zhixie knew the answer without further discussion. This point can be known from the large Han porcelain that gradually began to appear in the hundreds of households under his account.

Since the appearance of the big Han porcelain, it has swept past like a flock of sheep. In less than three years, almost all the tableware of the upper class of the Xiongnu was replaced by porcelain.

If porcelain is not used, it represents poverty and incompetence.

This kind of trade volume accounts for almost half of the Han-Hungarian trade, and even has the potential to surpass salt.If it weren't for the pressure from above, these fools who blindly pursue vanity would trade the goods exchanged for salt for porcelain.

The porcelain of the Dahan is fragile and cannot be bumped. Therefore, it is very troublesome for the merchants of the Dahan to transport the porcelain to the Huns grassland.

Moreover, it is said that there are very few channels for merchants to buy in small quantities, so if you want to buy from them, the price will be extremely expensive.

Han merchants are not afraid at all if you don’t buy them. The deeper you go, the better the sales. Therefore, even if they know that these people’s asking price is ten times or even twenty times, people on the grassland still flock to it.

Want to avoid wasting money?It is also possible to arrive earlier during the Sino-Hungarian trade.

In the mutual market, the price offered by Dahan is relatively affordable.But the premise is that you must be able to beat the purchasing caravans sent by the major nobles at that time.

Especially later, the Han people also discovered the Xiongnu's love for porcelain. Every year, the most exquisite pieces of porcelain were auctioned, and the highest price won.

This directly leads to the fact that every year after the end of the Sino-Hungarian trade, there are always a few families who look at each other not very pleasing to the eye.

Yi Zhixie felt that there would be problems sooner or later, and the Bank of China said so too, but the profits of the porcelain trade were too great. The Xiongnu's caravans could get dozens of times the profits once they were sold, and their benefits were gradually increasing. Catch up with Han silk.

Even if he ordered, I am afraid that it would not be able to stop his subordinates from owning and buying porcelain.

Yi Zhixie fully understands the popularity of porcelain catching up with and surpassing that of silk.

Because silk and satin are too expensive to store, and once made into clothes, the time to appreciate them is limited, while porcelain is much more durable.The pattern on the top will not fade, as long as you use it carefully, it can be said to be brand new after a few years.

But compared with silk, porcelain is much more difficult to transport, which makes the Huns' caravans have to be more careful than before.

Whether it is the caravan itself or the looters, the first words when they meet each other are "Do you have porcelain?" or "I have porcelain!"

If it is confirmed that the other party does have porcelain, the two sides will be cautious even if they fight.

Carefully wielding the bone knife?Don't be kidding, is the soft war between each other still called war?

Such a slow and lengthy looting is very likely to turn a small incident into a big one, which will eventually cause unnecessary losses.

Merchants find that porcelain can solve part of their troubles in many cases.

Because for the robbery business, the time control of the robbery is very important.And if the caravan has porcelain, the looters will have to spend more time, and the enemy's scruples are their own opportunities, and the caravan may even complete the counter-kill - this is the result of countless painful lessons in conclusion.

Therefore, merchants became madly obsessed with this exquisite porcelain, which has great benefits and can be used as amulet.

Not only the Huns, but almost all nomadic tribes are proud of owning porcelain.

Although I personally disagree, the development of the tribe needs money. For the sake of money, I know that going on like this is not good for the Xiongnu, but Yizhixie can't stop it.

The regimes of the left and right kings and the left and right Guli kings existed independently of the royal court. The left and right kings each had their own royal courts, and they also had to compete for personal resources with each other.

How many cattle and sheep, how many children, how many bone knives are all a kind of hard power.Cattle, sheep, children, and bone knives can all be exchanged for porcelain.

The left part of the Xiongnu is close to Dai County, and they have an absolute advantage. If Yizhixie wants to completely ban the porcelain trade, even King Zuoxian will not agree.

Porcelain is a sharp weapon for the left side of the Huns to perfectly suppress the right side of the Huns.

How ridiculous.

Yi Zhi's slanted gaze lightly swept across the hostile eyes on the street, completely ignoring these gazes.

The Xiongnu tribe actually wanted to use the goods of the Han people to judge the level of strength, and even the sacred ceremonies of offering sacrifices to heaven began to use the porcelain of the Han people as ritual vessels.

If this goes on like this, will one day worship the great witch and be replaced by a Han Chinese?

It's a pity that his worry cannot be understood by others, even his closest military adviser cannot understand his worry.

"Back then, the Bank of China once said that silk is not conducive to walking and shuttling, and grain is not as suitable for carrying and storing as our grain, but what does porcelain have to do with it?"

"Even if we don't use porcelain, we still use pottery. It's just as easy to break. It's just that the porcelain looks better. If you want to talk about the price, the big man's lacquerware is more expensive, right?"

"That's right, porcelain is obviously cheaper than lacquerware."

Yes, that was the problem, most of the Huns felt that they were not wasting their money, because porcelain was cheaper than lacquer, if you don't take into account the expensive transportation costs.

The prices in the Han-Hungary Exchange were all transparent, and all the Huns who bought expensive porcelain turned their anger on the Hun merchants—it was because of them that the price of the goods was raised so high.

As for the Han people?Hey, those are honest people, such a beautiful thing is so cheap, what a kind person.

Thinking of her own people, Yi Zhixie couldn't help sighing.

Seeing this, Da Honglu who came to greet him rode forward, "King Zuo Guli thinks that our reception etiquette is inappropriate? You are our honored guest, if it makes you unhappy, please let me know."

Hearing the words, Yi Zhixie came back to his senses, he showed a smile, and waved his hands to indicate that it's okay, "I'm just thinking about what kind of etiquette I should use to receive you next year."

Dahonglu smiled when he heard this, and then turned to Yizhixie to introduce their streets and drainage measures, cleverly avoiding this topic that he had no right to answer.

After a while, seeing Yi Zhixie's lack of interest in the streets of Chang'an City, Da Honglu changed the subject again: "I don't know if our princess is used to being on the grassland? Did it cause you any trouble?"

"That's not true." Yi Zhixie showed a polite smile, "Everything is fine on the grassland with Da Yan, you don't have to worry, we will take good care of her."

"Oh, it's so good." Da Honglu turned his gaze away, and suddenly showed a surprised smile, "Oh, His Royal Highness King Liang!"

He introduced the middle-aged man who was coming on horseback to Yi Zhixie, "His Royal Highness King Zuoguli, this is our Royal Highness King Liang, and he will lead a delegation to visit next year."

"That's it." Yi Zhi slanted up and down to look up and down at the younger brother who was said to be the most trusted brother of the Emperor Han, and then showed a self-sufficient smile, and took the lead in saying hello, "His Royal Highness Liang, hello."

Just as the Imperial City of Han fell into a state of full alert, the inside of Zhongshan was peaceful.

After Bo Ji arrived in Zhongshan Kingdom, she first stayed in the palace, and then, at her request and the suggestion of the doctor, she moved to the more humid and warmer hot spring garden.

Although she is serving Empress Bo, all the ranks of Empress Bo have been emptied, and now she is just a civilian girl. If she lives in the palace, she does have the worry of whether she should live in the main courtyard or the side courtyard.

If it lives in the main seat, it is not a proper name, but if it lives in the side courtyard, it seems to be neglected.

Now Empress Bo has voluntarily asked to live in another garden to recuperate, one is to fulfill the previous excuse, and the other is to be far away from Lunu County, the administrative center of Zhongshan Kingdom, which can be regarded as a statement that she will not interfere in the state affairs of Zhongshan Kingdom by virtue of her status.

The little king was completely unaware of the subtleties here.He greeted this mother happily, introduced the scenery of the other garden with great interest, and was invited back before he could say anything more.

Liu Qi's concession this time was conditional, or he just found a new use value for Empress Bo.This time, there are several people who are very good at plants and a few people who are quick-witted who are sent to Zhongshan Country, all of whom are the reserve talents of Emperor Jing.

These people pretended to be Empress Bo's doctors or bodyguards and entered the country quietly, in order to quietly join the queue of deciphering Princess Nangong's secret letter.

When they arrived, Xia Anran's deciphering work had already been half done.As soon as the professionals arrived, the little king surrendered his home field. In the past few days, his brain cells have been dying one after another. The other things are actually fine, but he really can't connect to the information of the last few crops.

He really couldn't figure out what his sister was thinking.

As a boy, Xia Anran felt that it was very normal for him not to be able to connect to the girl's brain waves, because the person sent here did not understand what the second paragraph meant.

In the end, it was Empress Bo who gave the hint.

"Since Nangong means that none of the above can be planted, and the content above the next sentence is valuable, then why did she write the following?"

"If you don't understand what's written on it, why don't you see what's not written?"

Facing the foolish expression of the little king who opened his mouth wide in shock, Empress Bo smiled softly, "You guys only look at the surface of things, but my daughters look at everything... but the contents of the paper."

Got it, isn't it that women are good at brain supplements?

Xia Anran rubbed her chin, thinking it made sense.

He hurriedly searched for the seed information that he had given to Nangong before, and after comparing the two, he found several varieties, all of which were relatively common seeds.

The growth requirements of these seeds are not high, and it is possible to survive on the grassland, but their functions are strange.

There are corn and wheat that can be used as the staple food, onions as spices, and cabbage as vegetables, and the little king fell into distress again.

He could not find any common secret among these seemingly ordinary crops.

Nangong did not rank these plants, which means that there is no sequence problem among these crops, which means that they are in general to convey a message...

correct!

Could it be possible... What Nangong meant was that she wanted to use the consumption of seeds to convey information about the population and growth rate of the Huns?

Therefore, she didn't need to remind him too much. As long as he gave a certain amount of seeds this time, Nangong would tell him which seeds were still rich and which ones needed to be brought more, so that he could roughly determine the number of Huns.

No, it should be said that it is not the number of Huns, but the number of wealthy laborers of the Huns.

On the grassland, it is not the main labor force responsible for reclamation, but the secondary labor force mainly slaves and women.For example, it is entirely feasible to use staple foods to represent labor, vegetables to represent women and children, and spices to represent the aristocracy.

Then after another year or two, everyone will confirm the number of seeds... No, there is no need, many seeds here can be saved for self-planting, especially for staple food, and their final product is fruit.

Nangong came to ask for seeds once or twice, but if the number of times is too many, people will realize the problem.

But by then, all the data they need will be available, and there is no need to investigate further.

The little king touched his chin, and then laughed at himself, "The girl's mind is really hard to understand."

Such a strange idea can be thought of by her!How many circles are there in this!

"Girls are scary."

The little king silently came to a conclusion, and then he suddenly looked at Dou Wan vigilantly. The latter's reaction today was a little slow, and after meeting his gaze, he turned his head slightly to show doubts. The little king immediately asked: "Ah Wan, where did Gillian go?"

Dou Wan fell into silence.

The author has something to say:

small theater:

Xiongnu robbery team: Hold still, raise your hands!

Nomadic Caravan: Boom, Boss, spare me!

Heist Team: Cut the bullshit and call things out, or none of you will run away.

Nomadic caravan: Hey, no, big brother, this is all our wealth, please leave us a little, otherwise I won't be able to survive when I go back.

Robbery team: Damn, I gave you a face, didn't I?

Team A: Boss, don't talk nonsense, just cut it off.

Team B: That's right boss, their horses can also be snatched!

Nomadic caravan (shocked and desperate): Boss, don't, we have porcelain!

Team: Fuck they have porcelain, you all lighten up.

At this time, the guards took up their knives one after another.

Heist team: rush to the street.

The nomadic caravan went to the west and crazily preached: This is the mysterious power from the east. Our caravan can pass through the vast desert and escape countless looting because of it. It is a treasure blessed by the god of luck.

Western aristocrats: Buy, buy, buy!

The mysterious power of the East is muddled at a loss: the mouth of the merchant, the ghost of the deceitful.

It is true that boys and girls think differently.

For example, when Nirvana in Fire was aired, my colleague said that the author must be a woman just after a few episodes.I was shocked, because Langya Bang is not a very feminine TV series, so I asked why I said that.

The man said frankly, we men have encountered (Mei Changsu) such a thing, why seek justice?Just pick up the big knife and do it, and do everything you can to betray, and the girl will try to find a way through various channels to get justice and be so soft.

Me: No, Mei Changsu cannot rebel, his father BALABALA, family BALABALA

Man: No, that's something you girls only think about. We men think with our muscles.

I:? ? ? ? ?How can you be so proud to say this?

Man: Look at history again, because I feel that when I encounter injustice, it is a normal way of thinking for men to turn my head and betray, and it is for girls——I don’t want anything, just justice.This is especially true in an era when Confucianism did not have widespread brainwashing.

So the author feels that he has suffered a fatal blow, and when he thinks back, he thinks it makes sense.

Aren't you boys all so fierce?

For details, please refer to the difference between the plots of encountering injustice written by male authors of QD and the plots of encountering injustice written by female authors.

Cough, the author is still lurking into the QD author, and then eradicating those big descriptions, I found that, um, it is indeed so.
