Johime Three Kingdoms

Chapter 393 Fei
"Fei Boren, a wild man from Jiangxia, pays homage to the King of Chu."

The leader of the migrating people was greeted by Bai Tu in front of the car. Seeing this, Bai Tu also got out of the car and asked: "I don't want to be polite. I see that there are many men, women, old and young in my family, and they are in the dust." Servant, are you leaving Jiangxia?"

Fai Boren looks young, but not too old either, about fifty years old.

"In reply to the King of Chu's rebellion, the wild people want to take some of their close relatives and defect to their cousins ​​from other places. They don't know that the King of Chu's car is coming, and they rammed into the King of Chu's motorcade. I hope the King of Chu will forgive me."

When Fei Boren saw Bai Tu, although he was a little reserved, he was not at a loss, and his words were well-founded. It was obvious that he was from a certain family and was definitely not an ordinary person.

"The road is open to the sky, and I don't have a clean way. I can walk, and you can walk too. There is nothing to conflict with. But the old man travels such a long distance and goes to his relatives and friends, so he must pay attention to safety." Bai Tu didn't feel wronged when he saw these people, he just wanted Although it was unusual for him to defect to his relatives in other places, he didn't want to take any more care of it.

He just asked again casually: "Are you going to Nanjun or Nanyang this time?"

When Fei Boren heard this, he showed some embarrassment. He hesitated and saw that although Bai Tu looked normal, a female official behind him was looking at him with suspicion and suspicion. Then he said: "Go back to King Chu." ...The wild people are going to Xichuan."

Baitu: ...

This is a little embarrassing.

Although according to Chu State's current household registration system, it is not illegal to leave Chu Land, as long as people want you to go, but... Bai Tu was too confident before, thinking that "our great Chu is perfect and a blessed place on earth", and did not consider that someone would drag his family with him. He went to the jurisdiction of other princes with his mouth, and now he suddenly said it...it's very embarrassing.

"Ahem, it's under the rule of the Marquis of Shu... Yes, it's a good place, but I want to avoid the war? Don't worry, I won't have any wars in Jiangxia from now on!" Bai Tu made a plan and went to Xichuan... It should be to avoid the war. .

Historically, from the time when Liu Cong offered the state to Cao Cao to when Liu Bei captured Jingzhou after the Battle of Chibi, there was indeed a large population migration in Jingzhou.

The main reason is that Jingzhou was relatively stable during Liu Biao's period, but suddenly became the focus of troubled times, and the people were at a loss. Especially after Cao Cao's defeat in Chibi, he moved a large number of people from Nanyang, Nanjun, and Jiangxia to the north. As a result, many clans felt insecure and instead moved their families there. Nishikawa avoids disaster!

Just like Cao Cao's migration of people to Huainan, the population of Jiangdong increased dramatically...

It's just that Bai Tu didn't expect that he was almost as popular as Cao Cao?
Have the people of Jingzhou already lacked trust in Chu to this extent?This shocked Bai Tu a little...

"My father-in-law's cousin from out of town should have some connections in Xichuan, right?" Zhang Chunhua interrupted and asked, still staring at Fei Boren.

"This..." Fei Boren was hesitant when he saw this, but feeling Zhang Chunhua's unkind eyes, he still said: "Actually, my clan aunt is the mother of the Marquis of Shu. The Marquis of Shu sent me a letter before, willing to accept me into Shu. So I prepared to go to Sichuan with some relatives and friends who were willing to go."

Fei Boren was indeed hesitant at first, but it was not to the extent that he could not disclose it. After all, the relationship between the Chu State and the Marquis of Shu was not tense, and the reputation of the King of Chu was trustworthy. It was not like he would treat him just because of this relationship. What kind of people they are.

As for why Liu Zhang is a cousin from Jiangxia?
This is not surprising, because Liu Yan and his son were originally from Jiangxia, and Liu Yan entered Shu after he asked to be the shepherd of Yizhou.

After saying this, it wasn't so embarrassing - it's not that Chu State is bad, it's that our relationship is too "hard"!

It was only then that Bai Tu realized that Liu Zhang's mother's clan... the Fei family was probably not a small family, and then he thought... wasn't Fei Yi from Liu Zhang's mother's clan?
Thinking about the information I have read before, it is true that Fei Yi should have traveled to Shu with his uncle from the clan after the chaos in Jingzhou, and became an official under Liu Bei after Liu Bei replaced Liu Zhang.

"It turned out to be a relative of the Marquis of Shu. When the envoy of the Marquis of Shu came to Chu, he had a good chat with me. Today, I see the cousin of the Marquis of Shu. It is really fate!" Bai Tu pondered for a while, and then gave a response .

Seeing the cheerful look of the King of Chu, Fei Boren was completely relieved and concluded that Bai Tu was indeed not hostile to the Lord of Shu.

"These are young talents from Fei's family, right? Come here and prepare a gift." Bai Tu looked at the men, women and children behind Fei Boren, and the youngest ones were standing in front, so he directly opened his mouth to order.

Someone immediately brought a square gift box...

What is inside is none other than the four treasures of the study, pen, ink, paper and inkstone, which are specialties of Chu country!
Needless to say, "paper", after Baitu improved papermaking, the material of paper became suitable for writing. Now Chu State is a big player in paper circulation, and it is also the place where high-quality paper is produced.

Pens, ink, and inkstones appeared earlier than paper. They had already appeared in the pre-Qin Dynasty, when silk calligraphy and silk paintings became popular.

However, after paper became popular, pens and inks naturally had to make adaptive improvements, and Baitu... directly skipped the adaptation period!
Not only are the craftsmanship superior, but they are also ornamental. Almost all of the finest pens, inks, paper, and inkstones come from the Chu State, and... there are official workshops for low-end supply, but a large part of high-end products are made of white pictures and A joint venture with other aristocratic families.

This time when Bai Tu came to Jingzhou, he also brought a lot of gifts with the team. Gold, silver and jewelry were too tacky and not suitable for recruiting talents.

On the contrary, the pen, ink, paper and inkstone appear to be much more tasteful, and... the best pen, ink, paper and inkstone are not cheap. The top-grade Qu'a Bailu paper costs tens of thousands per knife, not to mention the pen, ink and inkstone.

Fei Boren had no reason to refuse the gift from the King of Chu, so he had to call all the junior members of the clan over to express his gratitude.

"In my opinion, all of you are aspiring students. In addition to increasing your knowledge, you should not forget to observe the sufferings of the people during this trip to Sichuan. Always remember that you are a part of the common people. If you become an official in the future, you will not Don't let down what you have learned, don't let down the people, don't let down your original intention... These four treasures of the study should be regarded as my efforts to you." Bai Tu said and had people distribute them.

Of course, with Zhang Chunhua watching, he naturally knew what Bai Tu was thinking, and what he asked for... was only the "third gear" prepared. Although it could be considered valuable elsewhere, it was not without market value.

When seven or eight youths from the Fei family thanked Baitu again, Zhang Chunhua pretended to be casual and said: "I think that it is difficult for them to learn anything when they arrive in Yizhou...Although Yizhou is a place of peace and prosperity in troubled times, But now the state of Chu is changing with each passing day, and the princes from all over the world want to learn it, but they can't.

Going to Yizhou for a study tour, I learned only the old knowledge, and in the future, the new learning of Chu State will be passed on. "

"Chunhua! Don't need to say too much, everyone has his own aspirations... Or in Yizhou, he can learn something and use it." Baitu criticized Zhang Chunhua lightly.

"What the king said is that my subordinates are shallow." Zhang Chunhua said, looking at Fei Boren with a sudden look, as if "that's right, you are Liu Jiyu's mother clan, being an official will not be a problem."
