The fourth update is given, with 4,700 monthly tickets added!

The missions of the Eighteen Kingdoms are actually equivalent to the Eighteen Caravans. They all know that the Tang Dynasty's commercial goods are more and more cheaper. This time, Zhang Chao took them to Beijing, and these people prepared a large number of commercial goods, preparing to go to Chang'an to make a fortune.

As for tribute to Emperor Tang, it was just a by-pass.

As long as the Emperor of Tang was as easy to speak, as the Protector of Dingxi, and was willing to let them continue to do business with the Tang, then tribute would not be a big deal. In the mission, there were foreign countries who had visited Chang'an in the past to pay tribute to the Emperor of Sui. They still missed it all, and the Emperor of Sui was very good.

They went to Chang'an, but they didn't know how to intercept and collect money. They even had to go to Chang'an for food, stay and stay in hotels. The goods they brought were tribute to the Emperor of Sui, and then received a large amount of rewards, which was much more cost-effective than trading with Han merchants.

But later I heard that the Central Plains was in chaos, and Tuyuhun took the opportunity to restore the country and blocked their road to Chang'an. This time, the Tang people beat Tuyuhun honestly and set up a trade route. Zhang Dupu was summoned to invite them to Chang'an. They were naturally very willing.

There are also many people in the 18 countries, each with one or two hundred people. In addition to the three countries that joined forces last time, the strongest of the other fifteen countries were Tubo and Dongmeng.

After conquering Subi and Xiangxiong in northern Tibet, Tubo has now looked down on one side. Lang Ri Lunzan holds 50,000 elite troops and is carrying out reforms, reusing talents from Subi and Xiangxiong in tribes, creating a large number of upstarts and suppressing the original old nobles.

His reforms were very effective, but they also offended many old nobles. Songtsen Gampo's father was a bit similar to Yang Guang, who was quite radical. Yang Guang was finally killed by his close ministers, and Lang Rilunzan would be poisoned to death by the old nobles in a few years.

However, Lang Ri Lunzan was still very sensible. As soon as Zhang Chao sent people to come in contact, he immediately sent a delegation. He was not determined to send people to Chang'an to do business and make money, but he really wanted to establish diplomatic relations with the Tang Dynasty and consolidate and maintain the new business path opened by Zhang Chao.

The East Girl Country is also quite strong, which is also a very strange country because it is the daughter country.

According to the report of the people sent by Zhang Chao, the territory of the East Girl Kingdom was 22 days long and the itinerary of the north and south, and nine days long and eight days long. This is calculated based on the one-day horse riding for eighty miles, so the territory of the East Girl Kingdom was about 1,600 miles from north to south and 720 miles from east to west.

This is a pretty big place.

Its specific location is in the area of ​​the Yalong River and the Dadu River, where the intersection of Sichuan, Yunnan and Tibet, the tributary of the Dadu River. Even in later generations, that area was a famous female cultural belt. The lifestyle of the matriarchal clans still remained in that area.

Dongnu Kingdom is also a type of Qiang people, and is considered the same clan as Bailang Qiang and Bailan Qiang.

However, the Dongnu Qiang is a matriarchal clan and has a queen. Their crown prince is not called the crown prince, but the little queen. The queen is called Binju, and women in the middle school are officials, called Gaoba, and they evaluate state affairs.

The queen has a husband, also known as a king, but this king does not care about internal affairs of the tribe and only engages in external wars.

The Eastern Girls Kingdom is very strong in the southwest Sichuan area, with more than 80 cities, equivalent to more than 80 tribes. They live in towns, farming, hunting and grazing. Both kings and officials are women. Men cannot be officials inside, but can only serve as soldiers and fight outside.

The current queen of the Eastern Girls Kingdom is Tang Pang, and he heard that his name is Fenghuang.

This time, the Dongnu Mission came with a pair of children of Fenghuang. The daughter was named Qingluan, who was in her early twenties and was very smart and capable, with one hundred young female warriors. His son was named Black Panther and one hundred male warriors. The Dongnu Mission's business group was also the largest, with hundreds of cargoes.

As the overlord of southwestern Sichuan, the East Girl Kingdom even has its own vassal state.

The Eight Kingdoms of the West Mountain are the neighbors of the Brothers, the White Dog Kingdom, the Breeze Kingdom, the South Water Kingdom, the Wicked Water Kingdom, the All-Dong Kingdom, the Qingyuan Kingdom, and the Duba Kingdom. These eight countries are all scattered in mountains and rivers, and are mostly tribes with a population of more than 10,000.

The East Girl Country is a real country of women, and women have much higher status than men.

Qingluan's status is much higher than his brother Black Panther. In the mission, Black Panther obeys Qingluan everywhere. Black Panther is a very strong warrior. She is not too tall, but she looks like a leopard and has a strong body. But in front of the very small blue bird, she is as gentle and obedient as a cat.

For some reasons, Zhang Chao deliberately made good friends with these people.

Zhang Chao gave Qingluan a long silk skirt with a fur collar. The hem of the skirt was mopped, and gold flowers were attached to it, plus a squid shawl, and perfume and soap filled with fragrance. He immediately made the woman who had always been wearing leather armor and had a knife on her waist smile like a flower.

After changing into a silk skirt and changing her braid to a Han-style bun, Qingluan actually had the flavor of a Han-style woman.

"I like it very much!"

Bluebird smiled at Zhang Chao and said, "Zhang Chao understands her Chinese language, and she learned Chinese language from her maids." I heard that the maid's father was originally a Han Chinese, and later settled in their tribe.

Dongnu Country has a population of more than 100,000 and more than 80 cities.

But it is a marriage that is a walk-in. During the gathering, if a man falls in love with a woman, he will snatch something from the woman, handkerchiefs, purse, etc. If the woman doesn't reply, it will be a token, and he will agree. At night, the woman will leave a light next to the window and wait for the man to appear.

In the East Girl Country, all the watchtowers live in. For example, the Queen lives in the nine-story watchtowers. The watchtowers are very high, mostly several feet high. Those young men must point their fingers into the cracks of the stones and climb up the watchtowers step by step. This is also a test.

Moreover, the windows of the watchtower are very small, and there is a beam in the middle. Even if you climb up, you have to get in very difficult times.

If you can't climb up the watchtower, or you can't climb up and get into the window, then you're embarrassed and you can't get into the girl's room.

When the rooster crows the next day, the young man is about to leave.

The relationship between them will be very simple and has no bonds. Men can come every day, once a few months, or even not.

The relationship between them is called Jiayi, that is, a partner.

Women can have many aphrodisiacs at the same time, and some people only have one aphrodisiac in their lifetime.

Having a child has nothing to do with men, let alone responsible. Children are raised by women, and their families are mainly women, and the highest-ranking family is generally the parents. Men are uncles, who live with their mothers and sisters.

The matters at home are decided by the woman.

Niu Jianhu and the others were quite surprised by these customs in the East Girl Country. They were even a little excited because there were a hundred female soldiers and a group of businessmen in the East Girl Country team. Niu Jianhu even brought the soldiers to ask them to dance.

"Sanlang, the girls from the East Girls' Country will participate in the evening, and other aristocratic groups will also come together. Then we will roast lamb and drink horse milk wine!"

Zhang Chao smiled, "I'm afraid your drunkard will not be in the bar?"

Niu Jianhu smiled, "I just think these women from the Women's Country are curious. They are completely different from other women."

"You are just a slut!" Zhang Chao pointed out incisively that Han women are mainly men and are quite obedient to men. But women in the Women's Country are different. They are matriarchal society and women are in charge. Of course, they treat the relationship between men and women differently.

For people like Zhang Chao who have seen great women in later generations, there is nothing unusual about women in the Kingdom of Women, but for Niu Jianhu and others, women in the Kingdom of Women are so bold and have a personality.

"Let's go together, isn't Sanlang afraid of his sister-in-law?"

Li Gan was also excited, "I haven't heard of Saburo being afraid of her!"

"I'm afraid of your sister, I just have something to do."

"What can I do on the night? Do you want to write a letter to my sister? If you really have this meaning, just say it!" Li Gan said carelessly. He really has many sisters, both legitimate and illegitimate.

Zhang Chao was so entangled by a few guys that he had no choice but to clean up and go there together.

The party was on the side of Tanshui River outside Lintan City.

The Eighteen Missions were all camped outside the city. There were too many people and there were not so many places to accommodate these people. In addition, Zhang Chao did not want to place these people in the city. These people were like barbarians and were easy to cause trouble in the city.

Fortunately, they were used to living in tents and had the wine prepared by Lintan City, which made these people very happy.

Wine is a good thing. Most people in the world don’t know how to make wine, let alone these good wines from Taozhou.

A bunch of bonfires were lit by the river. Although it was very cold, everyone was singing and dancing around the fire. All countries, you sing yours, I dance mine.

Niu Jianhu and some Taozhou soldiers also talked with them and had fun together.

As soon as Qingluan came over, she pulled Zhang Chao and was about to dance. Zhang Chao didn't want to dance around the demons, just like a Shamatt burying the love family. It's not called dancing? It's almost the same as when you get drunk.

But people like this, and they sing and dance when they are happy.

Zhang Chao said a few words, but Qingluan couldn't understand at all. In the end, Zhang Chao just twisted and jumped together. Zhang Chao danced much better than them, at least with rhythm and rhythm. Whether it was slow shaking or otherwise, there were all kinds of appearances. Qingdao kept smiling and praising her, and danced with Zhang Chao.

Later, the group of people beside the fire jumped with Zhang Chao.

Zhang Chao became the leader.

After jumping to the end, Zhang Chao became excited himself. Since he came to Longxi, Zhang Chao has not been so relaxed.

Dancing, singing, drinking horse milk wine, and continuing to sing and dance.

After jumping to the end, Qingluan pulled away a jade pendant from Zhang Chao.

Zhang Chao looked at her and turned his head away with a smile, still a little stunned.

Girls in the Kingdom of Women still like to grab things?

"Wow, Sanlang, you're so lucky!" Niu Jianhu and the other four appeared.

"What?" Zhang Chao asked.

"What are you pretending to us? Don't you know the customs of the Kingdom of Women? There are no couples there, so they are married. If they like one, they will just take one of the other person and don't go back. That means they agree to have sex at night!"

"Play your sister!" Zhang Chao also understood, but he remembered that it seemed like a man was holding a woman.

"Sanlang, go back and wash Baibai, wait for her to come and pick flowers later. There is a tent there, which was originally prepared for me, but now, we brothers will not talk about this, let it be for you. Go!"

The cow sees a tiger's mouth and has no way to stop it.

Zhang Chao slapped his head and said, "Damn, Qingluan took away his jade pendant, but he didn't stop him at that time. Wouldn't that mean that he agreed that Qingluan was coming to have sex with him tonight?"

This is a big misunderstanding!
