Chapter one hundred and ninety-ninth journey
Ruan Ling's momentum was not weak, but Renault was very happy and the bargaining showed that there was something to talk about. At the same time, it can be judged from the number of people left behind in the rainforest, at least more than 10,000, about 20,000 to 60,000.
This span is a bit large and the accuracy is too poor, but it doesn't matter. Renault didn't think about the aftermath of the rainforest. As long as you know it is about the approximate number, it's enough.
Shaking his head: "Impossible, you should know how much food is 50,000 shi, and how much transportation capacity is required for the road in Nanzhang?"
"Let them transport them within a thousand miles." Ruan Ling hurriedly said when she saw that there was a door. Transportation was indeed a big problem. Not only was the road difficult, but the most important thing was people. The forces there were complex and countless large and small forces. Sometimes, if you walk dozens of miles, you can change to another territory.
In order to have enough food, no matter how much it pays, the villagers of Yulin Town are willing to do so. Not to mention others, for food, Ruan Ling and her friends are willing to sign a dead contract to sell themselves. It is conceivable how difficult the situation in Yulin Town is.
"Twenty thousand stones of grain, or the equivalent of 50,000 stones of gold." Renault continued to bargain.
Ruan Ling stared at Renault fiercely, you are a secret master, you are as petty as a little businessman, is this okay?
"Don't look at me like that. We are talking about tens of thousands of stones of food. Do you know what it means." Renault said. I really can't agree to this matter casually, and it will be written into the dead contract. If Renault can't do it, it will be his breach of contract. Ruan Ling patted his butt and left. The only shameful thing is Renault. You are a secret master, and you don't keep your word. How can you stay in Da Chu in the future?
"Okay, I agree." Ruan Ling knew that Renault was telling the truth. The conditions she proposed were really too much. There was not much power in the entire Nanzhang that could produce 20,000 stones of grain at one time.
"Wait a minute, I want to say something ahead of you, so you think I'm lying to you. It's already February now. I'm going to take a trip to Dingjun City in the southwest, from there to the south, and when I reach the Nanzhang Mansion, it will take at least half a year, or even longer. I will pay for it with gold coins this year, and at the end of this year, or early next year, after arriving in Nanzhang, I can start paying you food." Renault said.
Ruan Ling hesitated for a moment and knew that Renault was talking about the truth. He was not in the South Palm and was always on the southwest road. Where to get food? Even if the other party was a secret master, it would not be possible to turn it into food.
"Can."
The conditions were agreed, and under Tian Ye's witness, two parchment deeds were written, which was not counted. This deed included 108 people, twenty-six warriors, and the rest were ordinary people. They needed to write all their names on it and press the bloody handprints to be half of the deeds.
Ruan Ling brought in to his friends who were waiting outside the car array and took a while to comfort them. This matter had been discussed before, so naturally there was no problem.
After printing the bloody handprint, it was already midnight. Do you think it's over?
It's early!
Death contract is a forced offering, which is more troublesome than the Hu family's entry into the family. After all, the starting point is different, and the Hu family is voluntary.
Renault sat upright in the middle, started from Ruan Ling, and went forward to kneel down, cut his wrist with a knife, took half a bowl of blood, dissolved it with the wine, took a cup of the first cup, and served it in front of Renault, and the others were each one at a bowl, waiting for Renault to drink the bloody wine.
Looking at the wine glass in his hand, Renault frowned. This contained the blood of hundreds of people. How unhygienic. Do you think there will be hepatitis A and hepatitis B carriers? What if there are other blood diseases? There is not even a decent hospital here...
No matter how reluctant he is, so many people are watching him, if he doesn't drink, he will probably not be able to pass this level and it doesn't matter if he offends people to death. I'm afraid even Tiger Teeth will be disappointed, and by then he will become a lonely person.
Taking a deep breath and drinking the wine in a cheers, hundreds of people kneeling down at the same time raised the wine bowl and fucked the bowl of blood.
After drinking, the sadness on his face faded. Now that things have come to this point, there is no need to think about anything else. From then on, they are no longer from the people of Yulin Town, and life and death are all in Renault's thoughts.
It sounds exaggerated, but Dachu is such a social structure. As a slave, the master devouring is the biggest sin and is more despised than rebellion.
"Get up, Ruan Ling, calculate how much money and food you need this year. Before Tong Lei left, just send it to him and let him transport it back." Renault asked.
"Yes." Ruan Ling responded, feeling unwilling, and she had to do so. She was not satisfied with Tong Lei's actions, but she had to transport the money back to Yulin Town through him. She didn't know what he would pass on her people after he returned.
"Pick twenty warriors, hand them over to Gong Churui, form the third guard team, and then arrange them later." Renault issued the first order as the master.
"Yes." Ruan Ling agreed without any hesitation. It's a dead contract, and he is just working hard.
"Huya, tell Cui Qing to hand over the head to them clothes and utensils."
"Yes." Huya replied, "They were wearing any bad things these people wore, and one hundred tiger teeth looked down on. The slaves in the convoy who were responsible for driving cars and doing heavy work were all thicker than them."
"Go and call Sishen and prepare wine and food for them." Renault said again. From so far, you could hear these people yelling in their stomachs. They didn't even eat supper, just waiting for midnight snacks?
Renault was thinking too much, and the people in Yulin Town were having a hard time, but the young and strong people who came out to make money naturally would not be short of food. Too many things happened tonight, so how could they be in the mood to eat?
After the arrangement, Renault took the sheepskin dead contract, turned around and returned to the RV, took a hot shower, lay on the bed, but lost his sleepiness.
The convoy is a hodgepodge, with all kinds of people. Slaves, sand thieves, walkers, craftsmen, refugees orphans, and now there are many rainforest descendants. It is difficult to integrate these people together.
Reno is not good at ideological work. Moreover, these people have different experiences. If they want to unify their thoughts, Reno doesn’t know where to start. Let’s do this first, take it slowly, and take one step at a time.
When you arrive at Dingjun City, you may have a group or even a few groups of people integrated, and there may be any changes at that time.
The next journey was much calmer, and without the grandmaster's offer, Tong Lei took away a cart of gold coins, plus two carts of wild ginseng, and took people away with him with a complicated expression. He already knew that Ruan Ling, more than a hundred people, sold himself, and exchanged Yulin Town for 20,000 stones of grain or gold coins worth 50,000 stones of grain every year.
No matter how much he looked down on Ruan Ling, he thought that women should have children at home, but Tong Lei felt very uncomfortable if he was willing to exchange himself for the survival of Yulin Town.
Yuxi told them that Master Lei can be trusted and even hoped that Master Lei can stay in Yulin Town. If he succeeds, Yulin Town will no longer have to worry about survival.
Although he is the descendant of the Yu family, General Yulin and the leader of the Yulin Legion back then, that happened a hundred years ago. For the past hundred years, the Yu family has lived in Luocheng, not Yulin Town.
Half of these descendants in Yulin Town hate the Yu family. Even if Yuxi becomes a ground immortal, so what? Others are afraid that they are ground immortals, but these people in Yulin Town are not afraid.
Renault didn't know that in the Great Chu court, even Chu Ren, the new emperor, had to think carefully and take it seriously. Only the people in Yulin Town didn't care whether he was an earth immortal.
Many people believe that the hardship of Yulin Town was the fault of General Yulin back then. If he had not blindly obeyed the prince's orders, the Yulin Legion would not have been destroyed. It would have implicated future generations to gain a foothold in Da Chu, and could only run in Nanzhang to seek survival.
Is Nanzhang the territory of the Rainforest Legion?
Yes, not.
This is the one that was fought by the Rain Forest Legion. When it comes to the Rain Forest Legion, everyone changes color. Even if they know that the people living in the Rain Forest Town are all descendants of the Rain Forest Legion back then, no one dares to attack them.
But the Yulin Legion has long disappeared, and the descendants of the Yulin are unable to control the Nanzhang at all, and the Great Chu court will not allow them to control the Nanzhang. Everything here has nothing to do with them.
Life in Yulin Town is much more difficult than Renault imagined. Whether it is the chieftain or the people of Dachu, they are very hostile to them. Most people refuse to trade with the people of Yulin Town. Occasionally, there are people who are greedy for money. The people of Yulin Town are several times or even ten times more expensive to buy things.
After leaving Luocheng for thousands of miles, the sky finally cleared up. Renault began to arrange the orphans' studies. It has been a while since he entered the Shengong Temple. He could eat a full meal every day and wear warm clothes. These ten-year-old children can finally see flesh on their faces.
What made Renault happiest is that their eyes are no longer dead fish eyes. Although they still talk very little, their eyes are much more flexible, and they can see a trace of freshness from their faces.
The convoy has to travel every day, from sunrise to sunset, and naturally no courses can be arranged during the day. Renault has a way to ride a horse with his children, requiring it to be arranged neatly, with four people in a row, the horse speed must be the same, and even the distance between horses is required.
Renault, with tiger teeth, fifty black phoenixes and fifty rainforests, ran back and forth, reminding the children from time to time how to control horses and pay attention to formation.
The significance of horses in Da Chu is important. The area of Da Chu is too large and there is no shortage of horses. Most ordinary people will ride horses, and the difference is only in their skills.
Ten-year-old children should learn to ride horses long ago. From the learning process, we can see that at least half of these hundred orphans have ridden horses.
After a few days, the little guys were able to line up a neat horse team and cooperated well with each other. Food rewards are very necessary for children. A bowl of fragrant fat is enough to make the children study harder.
When you learn to ride a horse and form formation during the day, you can't be idle at night. You can transfer the female officials around Chu Jiayi to serve as a teacher and teach the children to read.
In Renault's view, even if you want to be a gangster, you have to be a educated gangster. These children, Renault is ready to be cultivated as seeds.
