There are wheat stubbles in the fields and rice stubbles in the fields, proving that the Ba people had entered the farming age. Judging from the regularity of the fields, their technology was almost as good as that of the Han people.
This is a small basin with a diameter of about three kilometers. Although the terrain is slightly undulating, it is generally flat. About a thousand households are scattered in an orderly manner on the surrounding highlands.
On the ridge farther away, there are some pigs, cows, sheep and horses grazing.
This should be the ancestral land of these Ba people. Otherwise, if they migrated here later, they would definitely not have a share in such a good place.
Wang Zheng walked forward and looked around all the time, with a group of naughty children chasing and playing behind him. Some of the children wanted to talk to Wang Zheng but were a little shy.
Not long after they walked, Luo Wu came over with a few followers. They must have received the news reported by the villagers.
Seeing Luo Wu from a distance, Wang Zheng dismounted before walking towards him to avoid giving others the impression that he was bullying.
As soon as he drank it, Wang Zheng felt terrible. He didn't expect that the alcohol was about 10 to 20 degrees, and this body probably had never drunk such strong alcohol.

Wang Zheng nodded, picked up the wine bowl and smelled it first, he found that the fragrance was refreshing and the wine smell was surprisingly strong. This was sorghum wine.
Hearing Luo Wu's words, the sturdy man and Luo Xiaomei were both surprised.
Finally, a little girl was rescued on Jiangxin Island. I think that was the so-called young lady of the Wu family. I heard that the current queen's surname is Wu. Judging from her age, the little girl who fell into the water that day was most likely the current queen.
Luo Wu called Wang Zhengdao and said, "This is the unique corn wine of the Ba people. Try it and see if it suits your taste."
I remember there was a heavy flood that day. I was fishing near Jiangxin Island and saw a large ship docked on the river bank. The boatmen were going back and forth along the river, shouting "Miss Wu".
The sturdy man nodded, and then asked doubtfully: "You said that the new queen is a little petty, even we don't like Jiangxin Island, which is such a small place.
Looking at Luo Xiaomei's smug expression, Wang Zheng smiled and praised: "It's amazing, but it's enough to eat. Pueraria root doesn't grow too big in a year. It's best to recycle it so that you can have a good harvest every year."
Luo Wu gave a bitter smile and said, "Giving such a valuable gift must be for some reason, and it may be a bit troublesome."
As the patriarch, Luo Wu was much more impressive than Wang Zheng. When he took Wang Zheng away, he naturally had someone to accept the gifts Wang Zheng brought and took Wang Zheng's horse away to take care of it.
"The clan leader is wise."
Luo Xiaomei asked curiously: "Father actually knows this. Tell me, why does the Queen like that small piece of Jiangxin Island?"
As soon as they arrived at the wooden building, someone came to Luo Wu and whispered something. Luo Wu looked at Wang Zheng in surprise. After everyone entered the house and sat down, Luo Xiaomei brought them some drinks.
After all, he is not the only one who has the final say in the county. The chief officials and village elders are all close to us. Even if we cannot openly oppose him, can't we just hold him back? "
Luo Xiaomei blinked a few times and asked, "Does Dad want to help him?"
Luo Xiaomei nodded and said, "My father said the same thing, so we no longer dig up kudzu roots. We even planted all the young kudzu roots back home. There will be a lot of kudzu roots to dig next year."
After taking a big gulp of wine, Wang Zheng actually passed out on the spot.
As long as we don't actively rebel against the court, the army of Lizhou Road will have no excuse to wipe us out. The county magistrate's strength alone is no match for us, and he can't gather the entire county's strength to deal with us.
A sturdy man nearby saw Wang Zheng lying on the ground, and laughed loudly, saying, "This kid must have thought that this was the same sour soup as their Han family, so he drank a big gulp when he was thirsty. Now, he has nothing to say."
Luo Wu raised his eyebrows and said, "Of course I have to help. The county magistrate has been coveting our ancestral land for a long time. I don't know what method he will use to achieve his goal in the end. With this kid stirring things up, it will make our county magistrate have some concerns."
Luo Wu smiled and said, "You are right. I believe that you are not the only one who has this doubt. I can guess the reason."
The first person to run to Wang Zheng was the younger sister of the Luo family. After getting close to Wang Zheng, she immediately began to talk about how much kudzu powder the clan had harvested recently.
She is a queen, but he actually fell in love with her and even sent a steward from Chang'an. Isn't this really strange?"
After Wang Zheng finished speaking, he took the gift he brought from his horse's back and continued, "It's just a small token of my appreciation. I hope Patriarch Luo won't despise it."
Wang Zheng nodded, bowed to Luo Wu who had come to him, and said, "It's been a long time since I last saw you, Luo clan. Wang Zheng is here to visit you again."
The sturdy man next to him asked, "Aren't you afraid that this kid might have something to do with that stupid county magistrate?
Luo Wu nodded and said, "A guest is a guest. Come with me to the wooden building to chat."
If this guy and that bastard county magistrate team up to set a trap for us, things will be even more troublesome?"
Wang Zheng had been rushing here and was feeling a little thirsty. Thinking that the liquor had not been distilled in those days, he took a big gulp.
Luo Wu shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be the case. The county magistrate is a relative of Queen Wang, and this guy was sent by the new queen. They are naturally hostile to each other. If I'm not mistaken, this guy's troubles are probably caused by the county magistrate.
Luo Wu recalled for a moment, then said: "That was more than 20 years ago, I was still very young then, even younger than my little sister is now.
"Brother Han, you are here to see us. I want to tell you that we have recently harvested a lot of kudzu roots and made enough kudzu powder to last us a whole year. If the kudzu vines had not sprouted now, we would have been able to get even more kudzu powder."
In this way, that small Jiangxin Island can be considered as the rebirth place of the current queen. Someone just happened to offer it to her, so the queen will accept it."
Luo Xiaomei thought for a moment and asked, "Father, do you think the person who presented Jiangxin Island was really a good person like Father? He saw what happened that day and presented Jiangxin Island with the same idea as you?"
Luo Wu thought about it and said, "It's really possible. By the way, what was the name of the previous owner of Jiangxin Island, Cheng something?"
The sturdy man thought for a moment and said, "It seems his name is Cheng Bokang. Yes, his name is Cheng Bokang. He is a businessman. His hometown used to be in the market."
Luo Wu said thoughtfully: "It seems that we can also get in touch with Cheng Bokang."
