Chapter 679 Daqin Rumors(1/2)
Liu Ji brought people here from afar to be the king.
Unexpectedly, failure was simply a complete failure.
The king did not do it, but was captured and turned into a slave.
Liu Ji, Fan Kuai and others tried to escape several times, but none of them succeeded.
These natives look at them very tightly.
Liu Ji and others' mission is to work for the natives.
Most of these natives make a living by hunting, but occasionally they also plant some crops.
The crop is very tall and bears fruits larger than fists, with yellow particles on it, like large rice grains.
So Liu Ji and others called this thing corn.
The natives have unique skills in eating corn.
After Liu Ji and others tasted it, they thought it tasted pretty good.
Although it cannot be compared with the iron pot stir-frying in Xianyang City, it is quite good.
Moreover, they found that the yield of corn was extremely high. If this was brought back to the Central Plains, the people would probably rush to plant it.
Wouldn't everyone make a fortune by then?
But then I thought about it, can I still return to Daqin in this life?
Everyone looked sad again.
The natives' farming methods are very strange, and they do not know how to fertilize.
Often, a forest is burned to flat ground and then the seeds are started.
After a year or two, if you run out of fertility, you will change to another place.
When Liu Ji and others were arrested, the fertility here was exhausted, so the natives took them to start migrating.
When Liu Ji was in the Qin Dynasty, he didn't do production and was not very good at farming, but even if he was not good at it, he was more capable than these natives.
He persuaded with great sincerity: "Everyone, you don't have to migrate, I'll teach you how to fertilize."
The answer to Liu Ji is a stick.
These natives are very confident and will never listen to a slave.
What's more, both sides have no language, and the natives cannot understand what Liu Ji means.
After Liu Ji was beaten, he felt indignant.
He said to Fan Kuai: "Don't you claim to be extremely powerful? Is there any way to kill these natives?"
Fan Kuai said with a bitter face: "Brother, I have never eaten enough since I got here. Where can I still have the strength now?"
Liu Ji sighed.
Not only Fan Kuai is not full, but he has never eaten enough either.
I don’t know if this is done intentionally or unintentionally by those natives.
However, whether intentionally or not, what else can I say to this point?
Just make do with it and live.
…………
Hundreds of miles away, Xu Fu was staring at the native city in the distance with his telescope.
In fact, it is said that it is a city, but some people are praised by the natives.
Their city building level is really not very good, even worse than Xu Fu's camp.
Xu Fu said to the followers beside him: "How are you prepared?"
The follower said, "It's quite smooth. Now more than half of the native people have become exiled immortals."
Xu Fu nodded with satisfaction and asked curiously: "How did you do it?"
The follower laughed dryly: "It's actually simple."
"The villain first chose a few smart people and learned some native language."
"Then spread the news among the natives. With the knowledge taught by the exiled immortals, we successfully predicted the wind and rainy weather several times, and they believed it."
Xu Fu nodded with satisfaction: "You are doing it right, knowledge is power."
The entourage asked in a low voice: "Sir, when will we do it? If we do it now, I will be 70% or 80% sure."
Xu Fu shook his head: "No, no hurry. You must know that we are all living and dying all the way, and they are all as close as brothers. I can't bear to see any of you die."
"I won't do it without 100% sure."
The follower smiled bitterly: "How can you be sure of such a thing?"
Xu Fu said with a smile: "There will always be. Now, we can go to the next step. Calculate the day, it's time to sacrifice in the city again? This time, we have to break in and save the sacrifice."
"They have no horses, we come and go like the wind, and we will leave after saving people. They will definitely not be able to catch up."
"Our purpose is to tell those natives that they don't have to wait for death trembling all day long. Someone in this world will help them uphold justice."
The follower nodded and said, "Yes, the villain understands."
Then, he went to select smart and capable people.
When choosing, the minion also found it a bit strange.
Recently, he has explored the area within a radius of hundreds of miles.
To be honest, the soil here is fertile and the climate is suitable. There are also many people living there.
But these people just don’t have any cattle or horses.
Not only are there no cattle and horses, but there are not even carts.
Not only are there no cars, but there are not even wheels.
It's really strange.
The people here seem to be all thinking about sacrifices.
Soon, the entourage picked thirty people and asked them to eat and drink enough and be on standby at any time.
Now, we are just waiting for the sacrifice to begin.
…………
In the city, Wu Guduo was discussing affairs with the prince.
The two big fat men sat together, putting a lot of pressure on the people next to them.
The prince said, "Will the sacrifices tomorrow be in accordance with the previous specifications?"
Wu Gudu said: "Naturally. Only sacrifices can maintain my divine power. The specifications of sacrifices will definitely not be reduced."
The prince said with some concern: "Recently, some of the lowly people are not very tame. It is said that some people secretly believed in the evil gods from other places."
Wu Guduo was stunned and asked, "What evil god?"
The prince said: "It is the evil gods they brought from overseas. It is said that this evil god can predict wind and rain, which is extremely effective."
Wu Guduo sneered: "What's the use of knowing the wind and rain? We don't have to worry about it when we sit in the palace, with the wind and sun."
The prince said, "But those lowly people seem to be afraid of the wind and rain. Therefore, they respect this evil god very much."
Wu Guduo frowned and said, "If you send the order, who secretly worships the evil god and behead him immediately."
The prince responded and went to pass the order.
Wu Gudu poured himself a glass of wine and closed his eyes with satisfaction: "Good wine, good wine..."
"I don't know what food these overseas people brought. This wine is so delicious. When I catch them, I must be questioned."
Thinking of this, Wu Guduo began to plan how to catch these overseas people.
In fact, Wugudou had already thought of a solution before, but it was not successful.
These overseas people built camps very tricky, easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Therefore, although the number of Ugudol is large, it cannot exert its advantages. Every time, it will lose its troops and return in a defeat.
Fortunately, the casualties were all the lowly people, and Wu Guduo didn't feel sorry for him.
In addition, those overseas people seemed to be scared.
When the two armies were fighting, lowly natives were often captured by those overseas.
But overseas people never dare to hurt their lives.
It is said that every time I am kind of comforting, drinking and treating with good wine and food, and then the prisoners are brought back.
What does this mean? This means that those overseas people are afraid and dare not be enemies with them.
When Wu Gudu thought of this, he smiled proudly.
