Chapter 307: The Tubo people have no belongings

Zhong Gang seemed even more confused when he heard Xiao Chong say it.

"Little Bug, where did you move your hands? Why didn't I see that?"

"I didn't see it either. If you want to know, you have to investigate all the caravans in Pengzhou for a period of time, or know about the situation of grain stores, oil shops, salt stalls, and places where killing animals and laying eggs. Last year, when Zhang and Wang's family arrived in Yizhou, they began to ask the people of the surrounding prefectures to raise chickens according to their own conditions.

Now it’s time to lay eggs. Last month, people who sold pancakes complained that the eggs that just opened their crotch were small, and they would make less money by putting two, and the person who bought them was unwilling to put one. Now it should be when the chicken lays the most eggs, so why should the price increase again?

The price of eggs and meat is definitely not an accidental occurrence, but the young master of the Zhang family is unwilling to cause too much harm to the local area because of his actions. I didn’t see if the salt price was still under the original position, and the increase in oil and grain was the same as usual.”

Xiao Chong now has the same feelings as No. 1 at the beginning. As long as he encounters something special, there is a thick fog in front of him. He finally blows apart apart, but when he turns around, he can't even find the way he comes. The unknown is the most terrifying thing.

Zhong Gang drank all the wine in the bowl with a slight understanding and reached for the jar of wine. "That's wrong, how could it be harmed? The chicken raisers make money, and those who kill animals and sell meat will lose money."

"I'm stupid. The price of meat can be reduced, which means that the price is low when buying livestock. How much did the meat sellers make in the past, but now they still make those." Xiao Chong explained to Zhong Gang again.

"It's still wrong. Wouldn't the person who sells the animals be compensated?" Zhong Gang's head was easy to use at this time.

Xiao Chong nodded and said, "Yes, the price of selling animals will be reduced. Who sells animals? Where does the animals come from?"

"Tubo!" The two got the same answer.

"Where is the egg?" Zhong Gang asked again, and before Xiao Chong could say it, he said himself: "Is it sold to Tubo?"

"It's probably the same, but what do you want so many eggs for Tubo? How do you buy and sell them?" The little cuckoo, who thought he could guess the technique of the young master of the Zhang family, was hit again.

When they looked at each other, the two stopped talking about this matter. The more they thought about it, the more confused and tired they became. The little cuckoo drank with his worries and did not take a small sip, a large sip of wine and a large sip of meat.

The other merchants in the team did not have the thought of so much. As long as they reached the desert, they could find what the chamber of commerce needed there, especially herbs, plant seeds, and things that can grow Cistanche. It is very suitable for planting on the sand. Some riversides have too much sand, so it is easy to grow such things.

By the way, you can also exchange local specialties with local people with salt and other things, such as fur, bones that can be used as medicine for wild animals, and even living poisonous snakes, bringing them back to the Tang Dynasty is another income.

Nowadays, there are more people living in the east of Ruoshui than before. Last year, due to food shortage, the Tubo people were not doing well, and starving people to death also occurred from time to time. Anyone who has no livestock found a big problem when they were about to plow in spring this year and could not cultivate as before.

There are shortage of agricultural tools and not enough seeds. After a winter, there is no food left. I continue to stay on the west bank of weak water and cannot find a way out.

Therefore, many people wanted to join the Tang Dynasty from Pengzhou and become the people of the Tang Dynasty.

But the Tang Dynasty and Tubo did not allow it. The Tang Dynasty was afraid that this part of the people would not be able to manage and cause chaos. The reason for Tubo was simple. The people ran away and there was only a piece of land left in Tubo. It would be better to give it to others. As long as some people went to the Tang Dynasty to live a comfortable life, other Tubo people would naturally follow behind.

The pass in Pengzhou was closed, and the cavalry company in Tubo was intimidating and threatening, but they refused to let the people go forward. The people had no choice but to kneel outside the pass. The adults' pleading and the children's crying made the people at the pass buzz.

The officials in Pengzhou could not think of a solution, and the governor of Jiannandao was not ready to cause trouble. He just watched the Tubo people outside the pass eat the food they brought little by little and prepare troops to prevent the people from rushing to the pass.

At this critical moment, the inner courtyard of the Zhang family left behind in Yizhou was dispatched. It was just a trivial matter. There was no need to ask the owner, and he directly transported out grain, utensils and salt, put them down from the city wall, and told the Tubo people to make porridge and drink it themselves, and not to rob them randomly.

The flag of the Yizhou Logistics Camp that had been disbanded still had a great deterrence. The Tubo people began to slap the state very obediently, and the wild vegetables that popped up in spring were put together and cooked. After eating for three days, they became stable and no longer as messy as they did when they first came.

The people in the inner courtyard of the Zhang family discussed the matter with them. The Zhang and Wang families distributed the grain. The Tubo people took the seeds of the white scattered seeds to plant them in the east of the soft water. During this period before the white scattered seeds could be harvested, the grain and other daily necessities were all handled by the Zhang and Wang families.

After harvesting the white buns, the expenses for some daily necessities will be deducted according to the quantity, and the rest will be exchanged with the Zhang and Wang families for survival supplies. After that, they will be exchanged every year.

The Tubo people were about to lose food. Without even asking about the specific details of the exchange, they agreed and brought a lot of food, seeds and tools to rebuild the village in the east of Ruoshui River, preparing to use their own hands to create a happy life.

They were not afraid that someone would come into the village from time to time to bully people like before. They would plant white buns for the demon cuckoo. Anyone who dared to come would try it.

Sure enough, the soldiers who occasionally came over Tubo were very envious, but they did not dare to do it. When they saw the meat and bones sent to the people from the Zhang and Wang families at Pengzhou Pass, they could only stare at them. None of them had the courage to snatch them to taste them.

While growing cotton, the Tubo people also did some mixed work. They weave the hay from last year into curtains, put the hemp into water, then took out the rope, and hunted, prepared these things and used them for exchange when the caravans of the Tang Dynasty came.

The people don’t know which side they belong to. They say they belong to the Tang Dynasty, but the Tang Dynasty does not admit it, they say they belong to Tubo, and they are not under the control of Tubo. This ultimate belonging issue is too profound. If the people don’t understand it, they will no longer think about it. As long as life can be better, that’s fine.

This is the second time the caravan has come here this year. The last time the Tubo people have just settled down and have not exchanged too much. This time the merchants feel that the Tubo people have much more goods than the last time.

At this time, I surrounded the fire and discussed what kind of price to give. Some people said that it could be slightly higher than what I gave last time. After all, the things I exchanged for were really valuable. The straw curtains and hemp ropes were both taken to by Zhang and Wang families in Yizhou. The price was high, and the medicinal materials were taken away by the local medicine shop. It was also not low, let alone the fur.

So give more money so that the Tubo people can work harder.

Some people say that the goods are not easy to sell and they can make more profits.

At the beginning, people who had different opinions would discuss and talk, but as they talked, they started to quarrel loudly after drinking too much, and some even prepared to take action.

At this moment, Xiao Chong, who had been reluctant to guess the specific actions of the young master of the Zhang family, was unhappy and shouted loudly: "What are you shouting? I really thought this place has become your place. Even if you give it to you, who can you keep it? Don't think about the meaning of the Zhang and Wang families when doing things?"

The businessman who was still arguing about it was honest when Xiao Chong called him. They knew that Xiao Chong had met the two little ancestors of the Zhang Wang family in person, and the kind that could speak. He was really stupid just now. When someone said that, he realized that this road was from the Zhang Wang family, and to be precise, it was paved with blood by Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan.

The money earned from this road is also given every year to the family of the Tang Dynasty Warriors who are buried here, and they are not able to control it.

"Xiao Chong, then what price should you give?" A businessman asked loudly without wanting to be weak.

"Then you have to figure out how Xiaobao and Juanjuan planned, why the Tubo people were left here, and why they only let them plant white squids instead of food."

The little bug asked two questions.

The merchants also wanted to know why, and looked at Xiaozhu one by one and waited for Xiaozhu to continue talking, but Xiaozhu didn't dare to say it. He felt that Xiaobao and Juanjuan planned to merge the east of Ruoshui River directly into the Tang Dynasty one day. As long as the local people were used to their current life, they could merge in the future.

Seeing everyone looking over, Xiao Chong thought about it and said, "Because this road is very profitable, if the Tubo people are scared away, who will plant white buns in the future? My idea is to tell them how much their things can be sold, and also tell them the price we are willing to give.

They think we give less, so they sell it themselves. They feel that it is too late to enter Pengzhou, so they sell it to us. Don’t always focus on the extra small amount of money. The money in the desert is the big money. The fish and shrimp in the lakes taste good, the medicinal materials are also many, and there are also Cistanche deserticola.

We won’t make less money. We really did something wrong and made Xiaobao and Juanjuan angry. You guys think about the consequences yourself. Do you really plan to let them come over from the capital to solve the problem?"

Xiaozhu's words worked, and many businessmen made head-retracting actions, feeling a cool breeze wafting on their necks.

Just when the merchants decided to do what Xiao Chong said, they chased two fast horses from the direction of Pengzhou, each with one horse, and came close to the team and turned over and landed. One of them said to everyone: "The Chamber of Commerce decided to meet the Tubo people, let them go to Pengzhou to sell goods in person and inform them of the approximate price."

The merchants were a little unhappy. If they really did this, wouldn’t they make less money? Can’t they join the chamber of commerce and do extra business?

"As for your losses," the visitor may have guessed the business people's ideas, and then continued: "Your losses in this regard will be reported to the young master and the young lady, and the young master will find a way to compensate. The Zhang and Wang family will not lose those who cooperate."

The merchants were happy now and said harmless words. The people who came did not want to stay outside for too long and got on the horse again to leave. At this time, Xiao Chong suddenly said, "Can you bring me a letter and ask if I can help?"

The following words are many, but not counting the number of words

I changed the place and felt really good. This is actually a village I lived in when I was a child. I haven’t come back to see it for twenty years. I walked around this morning and felt a special feeling. The original river, the original trees, the original fields, and the original roads were gone.

After walking around for a long time, I found the vague memory of the past and climbed to the mountain behind a school. There was no big change in this area. The pine trees from twenty years ago were still alive, but they were labeled as they were labeled. There were a lot of weeds growing on the mountain road, so there should be fewer people walking.

But when I was a child it was dark early, which made me feel that something had followed the graves on the road that had not disappeared yet when I was after school.

When I was a child, the trenches left by the Japanese-Russian war were filled with time. No one ate the things called prickly fruits on the roadside before. I picked a few next to a grave, but didn't wash them. I just wiped them casually. It was not delicious, and it was not as sweet as the sweetness that I ate as snacks when I was a child.

Many mountains were dug out and buildings were built. I couldn’t find any trace of my home on the hillside before, but there were still many mountains that were not moved. I probably had contracted them out. I could go to the mountain to pick vegetables in the spring next year. Well, I could also pick mushrooms because the sheep was gone.

If you don’t know the mountain pepper seedlings, you can leave me a letter in the group. I picked it and sent it to you. As for cat paws, monkey legs, bracken and pine tree cubes, that is, pine grinding, don’t think about it. I still eat it myself. It’s very expensive. At most, I can send you some mushrooms called yellow mud dumplings.
