Retired Life of Demon Sect Leader
Chapter 42
"The western region refers to the area beyond the great wall where our country connects to the West. More accurately, it is the beginning of Yumen pass to the west, even the western region."
"The western region refers to a large region, not just a country. The large area west of Yumen pass is called the western region, which is scattered with a total of 36 countries, which are collectively referred to as the" 36 countries of the western region "by our Dynasty. They are Wusun, kuci, Yanqi, Ruoqiang, Loulan, Qiemo, Xiaowan, Ronglu, MI, qule, Pishan, Xiye, Puli, Yinai and Shache , Shule, Weitou, Wensu, Yuli, Gumo, Beilu, ukaizi, Beilu Houguo, Shan Huan, Pu Lei, Pu Lei Houguo, xigami, robbed state, Huhu, Shan state, cheshiqian state, cheshihou state, cheshiwei capital state, cheshihou city state, Dawan and Dayue. In fact, there are not only these 36 countries in the western region, but some of the remaining countries are too small to establish diplomatic relations, They regarded the western regions as having thirty-six countries and called them thirty-six countries in the western regions. "
"In the past, the thirty-six countries in the western regions were restless during the period of the ancestor emperor. Even if they had frequent civil wars, they often offended our territory, which was very annoying. So when the ancestor emperor finally found the opportunity to spare his hand, the emperor personally led the troops to defeat the thirty-six countries in the western regions, and all the kings of the thirty-six countries were captured. However, most of the land in the western regions was land A poor land is like chicken ribs. It''s tasteless to eat and a pity to abandon. Our ancestors were very smart and had an idea. They told the kings of the thirty-six countries that they didn''t want their land. They went back to take care of their own country, and then they paid tribute to him every year. The kings of the thirty-six countries were afraid of being beaten, so naturally they didn''t dare to say no. after they went back, they kept their promise and went to our royal family every year Tribute some of their local specialties. "
"In fact, this means that the thirty-six countries in the western regions have become our affiliated countries. We are too lazy to manage and let them govern. Since we have surrendered, our ancestors ordered people to build roads and open trade channels with the thirty-six countries in the western regions. The two sides can carry out commercial cooperation and transactions among the people, which has brought great benefits to both sides. Since we made friends and trade with the thirty-six countries, Our regional economy in the west is gradually developing, so the 36 countries in the western regions are very important diplomatic countries in our country. Even if our country is more powerful, it is not good to show a bullying attitude, arouse contradictions and destroy the current atmosphere of peaceful coexistence. "
"The Dunhuang we are going to now is the westernmost part of the area under our jurisdiction. Yumen pass is the westernmost part of Dunhuang. Whether we go to the western regions or Dunhuang, Yumen pass is the most important scenic spot, so we must not miss it. We must go there and have a look. There are many painters who can help you draw portraits next to Yumen pass. If you are interested, you can give them some money to help you Draw a portrait of Yumenguan as the background and take it back as a souvenir. Of course, if you can trust me, you might as well give me the silver and I can draw it for you! Since I''m a colleague of the team, I''ll be more generous and give you a 9.10% discount! "
Jiang Zhen pinched his fingers and counted: "9.10% off... I''ll go. What''s the difference between no discount and no discount!"
"Oh, guest, the small business has small profits and quick turnover. If you lower the price, you can''t do this business!" Meiqian smiled and rubbed his hands, using Mandarin with Western accent and Jiang Chen. It sounded like a ninth rate painter who set up a stall at Yumenguan to earn tourists'' money.
"Don''t get off the point and go on!"
Yixue was angry at first. She didn''t intend to hear Meiqian smile about the information of the western regions. She always felt that the dog''s mouth must not spit out ivory. Unexpectedly, after listening carefully for a few words, the goods were introduced clearly and understood the general situation of the western regions at once. As a result, I just got involved, and the goods really got off the topic again!
"Well, don''t you want to hear it?"
Mei qianxiao was suddenly yelled by Yixue. He felt very wronged. This time he was very sure that he didn''t provoke her! No, is the discount too small? Why don''t you give it 20% off at 9:00? After all, people''s faces are burned and they wear a mask. It''s easier to draw
"What I said is that I don''t want to listen to nonsense! We all know what you just said. Go on and say something we don''t know!" Yixue was smiled by her eyebrows and was immediately ashamed at the bottom of her heart!
She seemed like a proud girl. She said she didn''t want to hear it, but she was so fascinated... He said no early and seriously. It''s all his fault that he wandered off the topic to a dirty place!
"OK, OK, I''ll say something you haven''t heard of." Mei qianxiao touched his stomach angrily, "but wait a minute. I''m hungry and thirsty. Can I have something to eat?"
They were reminded by Mei qianxiao and found that they had unconsciously heard Mei qianxiao say about the history of the western regions for more than two hours. Lunch time had passed and everyone was hungry.
A horse on its way is a fine horse and does not need rest. The coachman who sits on the Royal horse outside the carriage is also an old hand who specializes in this route. He is very experienced. He has dry food and water ready. He should eat and drink while erecting the horse. He doesn''t need to be taken care of by others.
These royal guards just need to take care of themselves.
Jiang Chen hurriedly said, let''s have something to eat first. Anyway, it''s a long way to go. I still want to hear Meiqian smile about the customs of the western regions, and there''s plenty of time to listen.
So everyone began to distribute the beef and meat buns brought back by meiqianxiao, but meiqianxiao gave his share to the coachman.
For those who can only eat dry food on their way in the next few days, a few pieces of fresh boiled beef with gravy are a luxury. The coachman in charge of horse riding is actually harder than them. Although his status is much lower than theirs, meiqianxiao is a person who cares about his status. If he feels that others are suffering, he should get a little more care.
Yixue took out her share of dry food with a cold face and didn''t want to eat the food bought by meiqianxiao at all. However, she was stunned when she saw that meiqianxiao unexpectedly thought of giving her share of beef and meat bags to the coachman. Like others, she thought it was a matter of course to sit in the carriage. She never thought that when they sat comfortably in the carriage, there was a coachman outside, facing the roaring wind, holding the pain of reining and strangling his hand, keeping his horse for them sleeplessly
But the hooligan thought of it. He felt the location of driving from the carriage and talked with the driver for a while. Leaning on the snow, he could hear him say: brother, I can''t hold it. You can have a rest by shouting brother to drive for you. Don''t be royal guards. Don''t be embarrassed. Excuse me, sir. It''s more dangerous for you to drive when you''re tired. You have six fresh lives on the carriage! Don''t make trouble. Call me when you''re sleepy. I''m afraid of death. Remember
When Mei qianxiao felt in from the outside of the carriage, before Yixue reacted, suddenly the dry food in her hand was taken away by the guy who hadn''t sat still, and a beef and meat bun wrapped in lotus leaves that Yixue deliberately didn''t touch was stuffed into her hand.
"The dry food is just the antidote. I''ll change these with you." Mei qianxiao chewed the dry food without giving Yixue a chance to talk, "well, it''s delicious!"
This bastard! Leaning on the snow-white neck, she was so angry that she covered it with a layer of pink porcelain that she almost pinched the beef into meat sauce. She ate two mouthfuls of the dry food just now. Do you understand that it''s a kind of impolite to eat the saliva of other girls without the consent of others! The goods didn''t mean to take advantage of her!
