The Qiang in Huangzhong is a general term, referring to the Diqiang tribe in the Huangshui River Basin in the western part of Jincheng County, also known as the Western Qiang. This is one of the birthplaces of the Qiang people. The Huangshui River Valley is rich in water and grass, and can be cultivated and hereditary. In addition, the ancient trade routes called Qinghai Road in later generations, they lived a comfortable life.

However, with the intensification of the Han and Qiang conflicts, the war that lasted for a hundred years not only dragged down the Han Empire, but also put the lives of the Qiang people in trouble. Frequent wars, fewer business travel, and a large number of people died in the war, Huangzhong was no longer a paradise.

If we could be hard and simple and self-reliant, Huangzhong would not be unable to survive, but it was easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it was difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. The leaders of the tribe had long been accustomed to relying on goods from Han, so how could they live a hard life? If they could trade, they would trade, and if they could not trade, they would grab it, which became the most natural result.

Just as the Han people's oppression of the Qiang people was mainly caused by corrupt officials and had nothing to do with ordinary people, the Qiang people's tireless rebellion was mainly caused by the greed of tribal leaders, not voluntarily.

When Han Sui controlled Jincheng, he had frequent struggles with the tribes in Huangzhong, but most of the time he was still at peace. The tribe leaders exchanged cattle, sheep, horses and Han Sui for the original cloth, tea and various objectifications to meet their own life needs. At the same time, they constantly caused minor frictions and sent Han Sui some credit, making people feel that they were not allowed to leave Han Sui.

Under this tacit understanding, Han Sui was the local emperor in this area in Jincheng. It was difficult for all the governors of Liangzhou to interfere in Jincheng's affairs, and the famous Du Baihu was no exception. It was precisely because of this that Han Sui was able to take his main force to fight in Wudu with his confidence.

But no one expected that Han Sui would die in Wudu in battle.

Han Sui died in battle, and Du Ji entered Jincheng. Although Cheng Gongying had soldiers, his prestige was not as good as Han Sui. He could only defend himself and could not interfere in other matters. From the control of the original goods in the Central Plains, the Qiang of Huangzhong could no longer obtain the goods in the Central Plains as freely as before. After several negotiations failed to achieve their wishes, they decided to use their same tricks and use force to rob them.

Cheng Gongying knew the inside story and told Yan Xing and Han Shaoying in person. Then, without saying a word, he looked at them quietly.

There were also several uncles of Han Shaoying who were staring at Yan Xing and his wife.

Han Shaoying understood what they meant. They wanted to continue to be the local emperor of Jincheng like Han Sui when he was alive. But she knew very well that this was unrealistic. First, these people did not have the strength of Han Sui, and second, times changed, and the Emperor of Great Wu would never tolerate such things. The court had already voiced against Han Sui, but His Majesty the Emperor was steady and did not accept it.

Now that the Grand Governor of Anxi Lu Su has arrived in Guanzhong, the left magistrate Sun Shangxiang is in Luoyang and may move westward at any time. The Han family still wants to dominate Jincheng, which is simply a delusion. Not only does it have no chance of success, it will also ruin Yan Xing's future.

Han Shaoying was stern. "These people have been with my father for many years, but they did not send troops to help my father fight. Instead, they raised their troops to fight when there was a funeral in my family. What's the use of such a ruthless beast without killing them? My Han family, whoever can carry a sword and ride a horse, will go to battle, fight for the country and get revenge for the family."

Liangzhou is accustomed to Qiang style and has a high status in women. Han Shaoying has been in the Central Plains for more than ten years and has held important positions in the army. His speaking has his own power. No one in the Han family dares to refute it, at least no one dares to speak on the surface.

Things settled so.

With the support of Han Shaoying, Yan Xingsui discussed the issue of sending troops with Du Ji.

Yan Xing first made a suggestion: move the Liangzhou Governor's capital from Ji County to Jincheng.

The capital of the Liangzhou Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's G

Now that Han Sui is dead, Yan Xing proposes to move the Liangzhou Governor's Governor's Governor to Jincheng, which is equivalent to taking the initiative to hand over control of Jincheng. Of course, Du Ji cannot ask for it, but he is very cautious and does not rush to agree. It was not until Han Shaoying came forward to show that this was the common wish of the couple, and Du Ji agreed to submit a memorial.

The relocation of the capital requires approval from the court, which is also a normal procedure, but the fundamental reason why Du Ji did this was to let the emperor know about the changes in Liangzhou and do a good job in cooperation.

Han Sui is dead, Ma Teng is still alive.

The memorial was issued, and Du Jixian discussed with Yan Xing about sending troops to quell the rebellion. Yan Xing and his wife were sincere, and he also opened their minds. Du Ji believed that the Qiang people acted because of profit, claiming to be 50,000 or 60,000, but in fact, the maximum number of people who could fight was 10,000 or 20,000. And the decisive role was only a few tribes and a few people. Kill these leaders, and the rebellion would naturally quell.

Compared with the rebellious Qiang people, what needs to be paid attention to is the powerful people in Jincheng County, such as the An Yanqu family. They are related to the interests of the Qiang people and play a very bad role. If they are not attacked, the Qiang Rebellion will never be truly calmed.

Du Ji's suggestion was to convene the big families in various counties to discuss future development matters. Doing so was both a respect for them and a warning to them. The court cracked down on powerful people, but not simply plundering, but controlling proportions, seeking balance in order to achieve sustainable development. If someone is insatiable and only wants to make money by himself, regardless of the life and death of other people, the court can't keep him.

If Han Sui was alive, Du Ji would not say such things no matter what. Han Sui was the kind of person who only cares about his own wealth, regardless of the life and death of others, and even less about the overall interests of the court. Now that Han Sui is dead, Yan Xing and Han Shaoying are well aware of the essence of the new policy of the Central Plains, they naturally agree with it.

With the support of Yan Xing and his wife, Du Ji immediately ordered the powerful people from all counties to discuss major plans.

——

Hanzhong, Nanzheng.

Fa Zheng quickly walked into the court and came to Cao Cao who was handling the official documents, and placed a dried salted fish in front of Cao Cao.

A strong fishy smell rushed over, and Cao Cao couldn't help but cover his nose and wrinkled his nose.

"Xiaozhi, this is..."

"The scouts sent news from Guanzhong that in recent months, every three or five days, a large ship would transport such dried fish to Chang'an. In recent days, these dried fish began to be transported to Longyou."

Cao Cao was shocked and did not care about the smell of fishy smell. He picked up the dried fish and looked at it. The dried fish was one elbow long, but not the whole fish, but only part of it. Cao Cao looked at it and saw the clues. This was a sea fish, a huge sea fish, which was divided into strips and marinated into dried fish. Although this one was light and weighed at most half a pound and boiled in water, it was enough for a middle-aged man to have a meal.

"Sun Ce has been patrolling the sea, can't it just to fish, right?" Cao Cao said with a wry smile.

"Is this a sea fish?" Fa Zheng's face looked even more ugly.

"Well, this should be the so-called planting of sea fields. Sun Ce has a large sea boat that can travel far away. A boat is made of sea fish with thousands of stones. It is marinated with sea salt and dried, less than 30% of its original weight. It is used as military rations, but it is extremely hungry."

While looking at the dried fish, Cao Cao took out the dried fish, cut off a piece of dried fish, and threw it into the teapot beside him. "I heard that fishing at sea is profitable, so Zhongshan Zhen became rich because of this, and earned ten thousand gold dollars a year. Everyone in Kanto Prefecture and County likes to eat seafood, and it is dazzling."

Speaking of this, Cao Cao couldn't help but think of Mrs. Bian, who was in a bad mood. Mrs. Bian was from Langya. For the sake of making a living, she often appeared on the coast. She was very familiar with seafood and was familiar with seafood cooking. After he took Mrs. Bian as his concubine, he also learned a lot of seafood. Now Mrs. Bian has become Sun Ce's prisoner, and I believe she often cooks sea fish for Sun Ce.

"King..." Seeing that Cao Cao was halfway through and was tranced by himself, Fa Zheng couldn't help but remind him.

Cao Cao woke up in shock and couldn't help but feel embarrassed. "Xiaozhi, go find Xu Ziyuan and ask him if there are any similar sea fish in Xiangyang to send to the front line. Gu is worried that Sun Ce has not launched an attack for a long time and is preparing military rations. If this is true, the situation will be very unfavorable to us."

Fa Zheng deeply agreed. The biggest advantage of Yizhou is its geographical advantage. It is their only hope to block the Wu army's attack and wait for the Wu army to fail to support the food and grass, and take the initiative to retreat. If Sun Ce uses sea fish to supplement military rations and solves this problem, if the two sides continue to have a stalemate, they may be the first one that cannot support it.

Fa Zheng turned around and went. Cao Cao turned to look at the teapot next to him. The water in the teapot was boiling, but the dried fish had not been cooked for a long time. The smell of the sea became stronger and more intense, and the room was filled with smoke.

Cao Ang walked in and sniffed, somewhat surprised. "Master, is this a seafood product?"

Cao Cao looked at Cao Ang. "You are familiar with him."

"I ate it when I was in Yanzhou." Cao Ang paused and said, "But at that time, most of the food was iced fresh food, not pickled."

"Ice?" Cao Cao frowned and then understood. "Sun Ce gave it?"

"Well, every time he comes, he will send a lot of things, including ingredients from all over the place." Cao Ang recalled the wonderful time of that year, and remembered the separation of his wife and children, his eyes dimmed and he sat silently.

Cao Cao understood in his heart, and sighed a long sigh, but he wanted to speak but stopped several times. The father and son were speechless, only the water in the teapot was boiling and croaking.

I don’t know how long it took, Fa Zheng and Xu You walked in side by side. Seeing Cao Cao, Cao Ang sat opposite him, Xu You shouted angrily: “Meng De, why is this? Emperor Gao won the world with his Han Dynasty. Now you have Yizhou in your hands, which is much better than Emperor Gao back then. Why should you sigh and act like a child?”

Cao Cao smiled twice and reached out to ask Xu You to take his seat. "Ziyuan, can there be sea fish transported there in Xiangyang?"

"Of course, there are not only pickled dried fish, but also iced fresh goods, but the price is high and not something ordinary people can enjoy." Xu You couldn't help but sigh. "This Sun Ce not only built a powerful navy, but also planted sea fields, which is really helpless."
