"Sir, the boatmen from Suhe have arrived, waiting for the adults to speak."

Although it was winter moon, in the "Tianzhu", people only wore long clothes. Many of the samurai who came down from the plateau were even wearing short jackets. If it were not for the rules, they had to wear shoes, and the marble shoes on their feet would have long been thrown away.

Wang Fu was a little tired at this time. The news from "Kunlun Sea" was probably going to be "reduced" quickly next year. Several major tribes have already drawn many male men to go to Xitianzhu to build the Great Wall. There were a lot of people dead on the road, and the news could not be hidden.

The restless high caste warrior class has been inciting rebellion. Although Wang Fu is in charge of an official position, the power in his hands is not enough to stabilize the situation.

This is a headache.

If there weren't many Xiangxiong people who had devoted themselves to his disciples, these Xiangxiong people lived in the "Xiangquan River" area all year round and were very familiar with the Indians, otherwise they would not have been able to gain a foothold on the south bank of the "Xiangquan River" so quickly.

The two largest tribes in the local area, one is called "Yodha" and the other is called "Rajiput", but they declined very quickly due to political turmoil.

However, the south bank of the "Xiangquan River" has its own special features, with temples densely populated, and hundreds of religious sects of holy cities are concentrated here. Follow the "Xiangquan River" eastward and enter the slope, which is the Himalayas, which is the "Shiquan River". This is the holy place of major religions and has a very special status.

However, in recent years, because the "Taihao Emperor" has overwhelmed the heavens, Li Chunfeng, who destroyed the mountains and destroyed the temples, has killed at least 500 temples of all sizes. A large number of gold, silver and bronze ware have been melted and recast. The largest artificial "holy relics" in the entire "Xiangquan River" are dragon skeletons, and the "Dragon Slaying Platform" that stores dragon skeletons.

The "Su River" in the Indian people is actually called Sulei Yaji River, but the Tang people think it is twisting and they directly call it "Su River". The Xiangxiong people originally called it "Xiangquan River", but now they don't care whether the holy river or not. What does the Han people call it, and what do they call it?

Because the Han people said that as long as they are all from the Tang Dynasty, they are all from the Tang Dynasty...

“How many boatmen are there?”

"There are fifteen teams in the boat and five teams in the boat, a total of twenty teams."

"One thousand people..."

It is already quite good to be able to organize a team of 1,000 people. In addition to high-yield sesame crops, this vast area also has high-yield rice and wheat. It can even have barley with a yield of about one and a half stone per mu on the slopes. If you are lucky, it will be just right when you encounter snow water, and the yield per mu can even reach two and a half stone per mu.

Wang Fu estimated that the grain output of the entire region would not be a problem to support three to four million people.

But it’s a pity that because of various turmoil, wars, plagues, tax reductions, trade... the peak population of the entire region has dropped sharply from 2.5 million to less than 400,000 now.

And it is still decreasing if nothing unexpected happens. There were originally more than a dozen Buddhist kingdoms in the north, but now none of them are retained and all of them are destroyed.

The upper rulers of the Buddha Kingdom have changed three or four times. Not only are they displaced at the bottom, but even the middle samurai class has mostly become extremely poor and has to wander in the "Su River" basin to look for job opportunities.

In order to curry favor with the Tang people, whether they were the "Yodha" people or the "Rajiput people", they not only sold their wealth, land, but also the beauties to the Tang Dynasty who came to "Tianzhu" to make a living, but also the largest group of grain merchants and slave traders in the entire region, they were themselves.

"Foreign households" like Wang Fu are middlemen and logistics providers, who transport "commodities" to places in need.

In fact, whether it is the Yudha or the Rajiput, the low caste pariahs can only barely eat one meal every day, and the labor intensity is increased in a variety of ways.

In the low caste, which accounts for the largest proportion of the population, a large amount of labor will die from malnutrition and overwork at the age of thirty.

This extreme act of exploiting labor was not feasible in the eyes of the Tang people. It was just that the local Indians had a set of operating logic, and all low-caste untouchables could accept this set of thinking logic.

Death is not the end, death is just the beginning.

The lowliness of this life is to accumulate wealth and honor in the next life...

When Wang Fu first arrived here, he was almost disillusioned. In Wang Fu's view, this extremely ignorant method could not deceive a few scholars and officials, and the scholars and officials did not believe that they could deceive many foolish men and women. If they could deceive for a hundred or two years, there would be almost a huge upheaval.

But in the territory of India, the great turmoil did not come from low castes, but from different foreign high castes, which were slapping each other's brains.

"Take out all the canned food, jerky meat, and grain."

"Yes, sir, the younger one will give instructions."

The Xiangxiong warrior smiled and rushed over, pressed his hand to the hilt of the knife, and then spoke loudly in the local dialect. After roaring, the twenty-squadrons of ship workers immediately burst out with amazing cheers.

Only this cheer made Wang Fu look at him with admiration.

In the "Suhe" area, the only ones who can have such spirits from low castes are the boatmen who work for the Tang people on "Suhe".

The boatmen with dark skin and a little eyeballed outwards were all surrounded by enthusiasm. If it weren't for the elephant warriors who used sticks to maintain order, they would probably have rushed forward.

Among the messy crowd, some boatmen whispered words, then knelt on the ground in an extremely funny accent, shouting "Taihao is above", which made Wang Fu stunned.

"What's the matter with my mother... this is called a thing!"

I muttered, and soon, a carriage was galloping from afar. There was a floating bridge on the "Su River". After the carriage passed the customs, it immediately arrived at the south bank.

Soon, I saw the sign on the carriage, which had new symbols, and the five-star flag that Cheng Chubi originally used in the Western Army.

"Sir, he is the messenger of the 'Champion Marquis'!"

"The foreign people shouted to be the master, and you also shouted blindly?"

Wang Fu glared at the excited follower, and then said, "You go and pick someone up, I'll send the reward here first."

"Yes! Sir."

“…”

It is not a question of following the local customs. Since the Xianbei and Khitans used the title of "adult", even Chinese slaves have also shouted this way.

In the "Canton Fair", there was a widespread voice of "adults", especially businessmen who were not good at being good at it. When they met officials, they kept saying "adults" and were willing to advise them. Who would have thought that the merchants would use the saying "You are the 'Bailihou' in the local area, and regard the relatives of the people under their rule, just like children. The people also regard you as an old parent, and call it "adults", which is really a sincere heart." There is really nothing to refute for local officials.

You can't say that I didn't care about the people under my control like children, but wanted to scrape three feet of the ground, eat their meat and drink their blood.

After establishing this set of logic, since the people under the rule are like children... I should give me some filial piety.

The bad money drives out good money. Why does this "bad" win? It is definitely not because of the "bad" itself, but because there is a advantage... What is it that you are not a bastard?

Although the eldest of the post-20s of the Zhenguan Dynasty is only five or six years old, the word "parents" is already known.

China's ethics of the system are somewhat suppressing and retarding changes, but outside China, especially in the East China Sea, South China Sea, Hezhong, northern desert, Liaodong, North Korea and other regions, the living standards of the indigenous people are really outrageously low, and they have no material basis for the ethics of the system.

Even in the essence of the Northern Tianzhu area where Wang Fu is now located, in addition to the densely populated areas, some tribes still maintain high-frequency inbreeding behavior in many autonomous rural-level countries.

The reason is to ensure the concentration of resources and seek more resource redistribution.

The original arrangement of boatmen was based on their strength, but after the Tang people came, they followed the order of the elders and young people.

At this time, the boatmen who were preparing to receive the "bonus" were at the forefront, except for the captain, and were the older white-haired boatmen.

It is said that he is older, but the oldest, and he is less than forty years old. He has gray hair. If the Tang people don’t understand it, they will think that this is an elderly man, not only his hair and beard are all white, but also his body is hunched.

"Jelly!"

Xiangxiong warrior picked up a hanging of jerky meat. It was not big, but it weighed half a pound. After lifting it up, he shouted loudly in the weird "Luoxiayin".

The boatmen could understand it, and they all looked at the jerky with envy. Then the captain or elder who received the jerky would then use a strange accent to utter "Jelly Jerky" and then leave happily.

Their places were close to the "Su River", but after the Tang people came to the word "Tang" it was strictly forbidden to discharge excrement into the river at will. Therefore, the residences of the low-caste untouchables were transferred from dirty and messy shacks to the large bush built by the Tang people.

The conditions are still bad, but there is already a public toilet, which is simply sanitary order. As long as it is working and working in the hands of Tangren, it will be implemented seriously.

The way to educate these low-caste untouchables to learn to be obedient is not a stick, but a trick that Wang Fu thought of.

Wang Fu told the low-caste untouchables that you are hygienic now and you will become a Tang people in the next life...

Well, it makes sense, very down-to-earth, very "indian". Even Wang Fu wants to vomit after hearing this.

"can"

Xiangxiong warrior himself shouted a little excitedly, "Can! Team Eight One!"

"Eight team one! Eight team one!"

The so-called "Eight Team One" is the captain of the Eighth Team. What he originally named is no longer important. But now, his surname is Eighth Team and his name is One. Then the entire Eighth Team fifty people are Eighth Team Two, Eighth Team Three... Eighth Team Fortyns and Eighth Team Fifty.

This is a name. As a high caste, the Tang people naturally had the power to grant names of lower castes.

Every time he heard these strange names, Wang Fu felt embarrassed. After all the "bonus" were paid, Cheng Chubi's envoy stepped forward and handed a letter to Wang Fu: "Duke Xuan Ce, this is the general's handwriting, and the official documents will be issued soon. However, the general hopes that Duke Xuan Ce can establish the system first in the "Suhe" as soon as possible, and talents from all nearby countries can be selected for my use."

"oh?!"

Wang Fu was shocked. He knew that this day would come eventually, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly. After opening the letter, Wang Fu was slightly stunned: "Does the local state set up?"

"Yes, the general suggested that Duke Xuan Ce name himself and report it to the Dunhuang Palace, which will be decided next year."

"Well... Since it's south of the 'Su River', it's better to call it South Suzhou."

“…”

"What's wrong?"

"Duke Xuan Ce, go down... from Huqiu, Suzhou."

“…”
