Chapter 137 Xidu people are lazy, no wonder they lack food!
Chapter 137: Xidu is very lazy and lacks food!
During this period, Xiaozhu's fine green bamboo was very troubled. Every time Liusu was so angry that she would stomp her feet, she would go to Yao Yun to complain.
"Qingzhu is from Xi, not a little fairy!" Xiaoqingzhuzhu swayed and complained to Yao Yun with grievance.
Yao Yun felt distressed and funny when he saw it. This little fairy was too simple and cute, especially when he swears that he is not a little fairy but a native of Xi, it is a breaking voice!
"Be good, you are from Xiguo, you are Qingzhu."
"Yeah, it's better for my dad!"
After saying that, the small bamboo and green bamboo jumped and moved in small steps, the bamboo leaves swayed, and suddenly entered the large courtyard to find Yaoyao Yunyun.
This scene happened for several days in a row. The little guy lacked a sense of security and asked Yao Yun every day. Only after receiving Yao Yun's affirmative answer did she go to play with peace of mind.
This seemed to have become a daily routine. Yao Yun was a little amused, but he asked once a day, which inexplicably touched Yao Yun's cuteness in his heart, making him feel a wonderful feeling of being attached to others.
Yao Yun heard from the second elder Wu Tong why Xiao Qingzhu was attached to him.
Perhaps it was fate that Yao Yun felt the bamboo viewing in the bamboo forest, and his mind echoed the bamboo forest. At that time, the little fairy green bamboo was at the beginning of his birth of spiritual wisdom, and it happened to be intimate with Yao Yun.
Xiao Qingzhu treats Yao Yun as his parents who "bred" him.
Yao Yun was a little amused when he learned the truth, but he was not resistant. He did not consider Xiao Zhujing's extraordinary qualifications from the perspective of utilitarianism. The cuteness of Xiao Zhujing alone was enough to capture Yao Yun.
Who can withstand this clingy and sensible little fairy?
After solving the Black Rhino Tribe, the barbarian tribe in the mountains was suddenly gone, and Yao Yun was also happy to be idle. Except for dealing with various errands in the Political Affairs Hall every day, he spent the rest of his time practicing.
The captives of the Black Rhino Tribe have been arranged, and the young laborers directly distributed to the iron ore. At the same time, a group of slaves who worked quickly and performed well in the iron ore returned to Xidu, participated in farming, and learned the skills of farming, laying the foundation for the promotion of common people in the future.
The elderly, weak, women and children of the Black Rhino Division also have their own uses. They allocate farm work according to their respective circumstances, enter fabric weaving workshops, etc., and each has its own uses.
Yao Yun originally thought that he had enough manpower, but after more than a thousand slaves were distributed, Yao Yun found that he still had insufficient manpower.
Especially for farming, today there are iron plows and ox plows, and the fields they cultivate have doubled, and various corresponding staff are also very short of staff.
"Hey, I can only see if the caravans in other places can bring a group of slaves here!"
Yao Yun grabbed a digit and said, a month was about to pass, and the caravans from other places were about to arrive in Xidu on a large scale again.
......
As Yao Yun thought, a large caravan came in a vast crowd dozens of miles away from Xidu.
In the past, the caravans of nearby vassal states always worked tirelessly to bring a lot of food, money, and grain seeds to Xidu.
Generally speaking, although grain is best-selling, it is not a high-profit commodity. Grain prices are stable everywhere, and there are a lot of losses during transportation. Merchants chasing profits do not like to sell grain.
However, Xi is an exception. Xi has salt and has the right to speak. If you can't buy salt with simple knives, you must traffic in the goods that King Xi likes.
People cannot eat food or salt, but salt is obviously more in short supply here.
Behind the caravan were all nobles of the vassal states. In the past, in order to buy salt, they had to sell grain to Xidu at a loss.
In the past, they were unwilling to accept it. After all, the officials of the vassal states did not have enough salt to use for affordable prices. The salt price soared and the people could not survive. The entire vassal state would collapse and perish.
But this time, the leaders of every big caravan were very active, and everyone seemed to have been injected with chicken blood.
News about the list of tributes of the princes in the imperial capital has spread in the circle of vassal states in all directions. News thousands of miles away is out of reach for ordinary people, but it is nothing to the nobles behind these caravans.
The imperial capital and other wealthy vassal states had ruled out that many caravans came to the south to buy snowflake salt. These caravans sold some of them and made huge profits.
The caravans who tasted the sweetness were very active this time.
King Xi wanted food and sold it! Anyway, the nobles of the major vassal states had a lot of surplus grain, so it was also an excellent choice to take it out and make a profit.
King Xi wanted slaves and sold them! The nobleman from the vassal state did not have a large number of slaves, so it would be better to sell some of them.
King Xi wants seeds and sells them...
This time, the major caravans prepared extremely well, including gold, sword coins, cloth and food.
Suddenly, the peaceful and peaceful Xi suddenly became noisy and lively.
The leader of the Izumo caravan, Brother Dao, once again brought the caravan to Xidu.
This time, Brother Dao had a lot of goods, including five hundred slaves, both men and women, all of whom were young slaves, with very high quality, and also had cloth, grain and other goods, which were very rich.
As for the sword coins, gold and other things, there is no need to say much. At the last time of the snowflake salt auction, Brother Dao bet on a big one and directly took out the three-stone snowflake salt. He made a lot of money. Even the manager of the Izumo Palace looked at him differently.
Now Brother Dao is naturally confident and has carried 500 taels of gold with him.
This time, the Izumo caravan was huge and as powerful as a long dragon. Brother Dao sat in the carriage and walked on the field path in Xidu, and his eyes couldn't help but turn to the arable land outside Xidu.
It was spring plowing at this time, not only Xidu, but also farmers working hard in other places. Brother Dao was just simply enjoying the scenery along the road, but as he looked, his face showed an interest.
The farmers in Xidu seemed to be different from those in other places. A farmer drove a cow to run in the field, and someone watched the ridges and shouted, without any intention of going to the ground to turn over the soil and farm.
"The people in Xidu are so lazy. It is a very hard work to revise the land. These farmers are just lazy and use their animal power to talk big and not hardworking. No wonder King Xi has been asking for food, so that's how it is."
Brother Dao has also planted the fields and knew the hard work of digging food in the fields. He worked diligently all year round and could only make a living. The lazy people of Xidu deserve to be hungry!
Brother Dao looked at it for a few times and was no longer interested. Although he was a pity, he was just a merchant and could not care about Xi's affairs. That was something that King Xi should consider.
"If you have salt, you are the master. We are different!"
Brother Dao sighed heavily, his eyes full of contempt and contempt. People who are not hardworking are really despised.
Soon the Izumo caravan arrived in Xidu, and the soldiers guarding the city investigated as usual.
Brother Dao immediately restrained his contemptuous expression and changed into a gentle smile on his face to greet the soldiers guarding the city.
When he saw the soldiers guarding the city, Brother Dao's pupils shrank, and his eyes showed an unexpected look. He had been with the army when he was young and was also an elite soldier in Izumo. When he saw the soldiers guarding the city, he suddenly felt familiar.
"This is an elite teacher who has trained formations!"
