According to the accompanying Fuzhong, there are not many Li tribes near Lingao, but there are many villages in the neighboring Chengmai County and Danzhou County that are included in the capital map, so they chose Qingshui Pass and Chojiao Pass at the junction of Lingao and Chengmai, which are two large mountains with a population several times that of Tinantong.

There are beautiful outdoor scenery, accompanied by beautiful Li girls, the original long road seems to be close at hand, planning a five-day journey, and arriving at Qingshuitong in the evening of the fourth day.

With the Fuzhong of Tinan Village leading the way, Lin Weiye and his entourage entered Qingshui Pass smoothly. Shimizu Village, the "capital" of Shimizu Mountain, is much larger than Tinan, and unlike the guardrails surrounded by wild thorny plants in Tinan, Shimizu Village is surrounded by wooden fences.

After meeting Huang Luo, the lord of the mountain, Lin Weiye presented salt and iron utensils, and fifty taels of silver in accordance with the instructions and points in the talisman before leaving in the south in the summer.

Huang Luo, the lord of the mountain, was a middle-aged man, and he seemed to be much more capable than the lord of the Tinan Mountain, and he obviously attached more importance to silver than the favor of the land of Fu Nan.

After hearing about Lin Weiye's intention, he squinted at Lin Weiye and said: "Our Li family women are very capable, but they are not like you Han women, who can not only spin and weave cloth, but also plant mountain fence rice, pull seedlings, plant seedlings, cook rice, and cook rice. ”

Lin Weiye was not good at communicating, and when Huang Luo said this, the originally prepared words were blocked. He originally hoped that as Xia Nan described, the lord of the mountain would be happy after receiving the gift, and then the guest and the host would drink and make an agreement between talking and laughing, but this lord of Huang Cheng didn't seem to play cards according to this routine!

Huang Hansheng, who accompanied him, was also unsociable, as for Fu Zhong, he was only responsible for leading the way and recommending, and business negotiations were beyond the scope of his duties, and this kind of transaction with the Han people, both Li people, was inconvenient to say too many good things for the Han people.

Seeing that it was about to be cold, Fu Nanying stood up at this time and said crisply: "The sister of Qingshuitong is capable, and the sister of Tiannantong is not bad, but after working hard all year round, the sisters can eat a few meals of white rice and a few mouthfuls of salt." Our sisters in Tinantong work for the Han master, every meal is white rice, there is salt in every meal, and they sleep in a good quilt bed. ”

Huang Luo's face darkened, not to mention the woman of Bentong, even he, the lord with the highest status, could not guarantee a meal of white rice and salt.

The Li people's mountain rice is still in the stage of slash-and-burn cultivation, with an annual yield of less than one stone of grain per mu, and one meal of rice per day cannot be guaranteed, let alone three meals a day? The lack of food has led to the fact that it has become the norm for men to hunt to supplement their food. As for the salt, it basically relies on trade with the Han people, and the Qingshui Pass is larger and more populous than the Tinan Pass, and the demand for salt is even greater than that of the small Pass such as the Tinan Pass.

As the lord of the mountain, he doesn't care about what kind of treatment female workers can have, but what benefits he can have, even if female workers eat and wear like fairies, what does it have to do with him?

He coughed and elaborated his thoughts from another angle: "This young sister, even if everything you say is true, the woman who went to work is doing well, but what about the other people in the mountain?" If the man is not as good as the working woman, then Shimizu will not agree to your request, so please go back. ”

Although Lin Weiye is not good at sociability, he is not stupid, as a top student in science and engineering, his IQ is extremely high. He heard a little taste, that is, it is not impossible to consider sending a woman to work, but there must be enough benefits for Qing Shui Tong and others, and the most important thing is probably to satisfy the appetite of this lord of the mountain.

He was glad to have found the key to solving the problem, approached Huang Luo, put his hand in his arms and touched something.

Huang Luo stepped back vigilantly, thinking that Lin Weiye wanted to draw a knife and approach him to threaten, so he opened his mouth to warn: "What do you want to do, come here, fork him out!" ”

The Qingshui Tong native soldiers guarding the door heard the words and moved closer to Lin Weiye. At this time, Lin Weiye only had Huang Hansheng and Fu Zhong and Fu Nanying from Tinan Village, and the other thirty guards were waiting outside the house.

Lin Weiye hurriedly said: "Lord Huangtong, don't panic, I didn't mean that", and then took out a few ingots of broken silver in his arms, and found that there were only about two taels, which seemed to be a little less, smiled awkwardly, and motioned to Huang Hansheng to take the silver.

Seeing that it was silver instead of knives that he had taken out, Huang Luo relieved himself and waved his hand to let the soldiers retreat.

Huang Hansheng carried a big burden, took it off and put it on the floor, and asked Lin Weiye in a low voice, "How much?" ”

Lin Weiye made a gesture of two, Huang Hansheng didn't say much, took out two silver ingots and handed them to him.

Lin Weiye handed the silver to Huang Luo, with a smile on his face, "As long as we have enough female workers, this little meaning is not a tribute, please accept it with a smile."

Huang Luo took the silver, weighed it, and looked a lot better. These two ingots of silver are estimated to be twenty taels, this Han man is so big!

As soon as the big killer came out, Huang Luo immediately became easy to speak: "The distinguished guests who have come from afar will bring us wealth and hope to Qingshuitong, your request, we will definitely be able to do it, let's say, how many young girls do you want?" ”

Lin Weiye didn't know what number to say, he subconsciously looked at Fu Nanying, and Fu Nanying secretly stretched out four fingers to him. Lin Weiye blurted out, "Four hundred!" ”

When Huang Luo heard this, he shook again and again: "There are too many, women all work for you, who will wash and cook for men, and who will plant rice and rice when the farm is busy?" Up to two hundred. ”

Originally, Lin Weiye regretted four hundred, feeling that the mouth was too open, and the other party was afraid that he would refuse, but he didn't expect that there was room for bargaining, so he hit the snake with the stick, and insisted on it, "Four hundred, the salary is negotiable." ”

Huang Luo looked at the sky and thought for a while. Then, as if talking to himself, he muttered in a mosquito-like voice: "If you add another ten taels of silver, you can consider giving three hundred."

Lin Weiye struck while the iron was hot, and also said in a low voice: "Add another twenty taels, three hundred and fifty."

Huang Luo sighed, the power of silver was too great, and the hands were short, he gave up bargaining and said, "Deal!" ”

Although the first diplomatic action of the tech otaku did not go well at first, the ending was a happy one. Later, just as Lin Weiye originally imagined, both the guests and the host were happy with the wine.

Lin Weiye was happy to have completed the basic task of a mountain of 200 people assigned by Xia Nan, and even far exceeded; Huang Luo was happy that forty taels of silver went into his personal pocket - Qing Shui Dong, as a Li Min who was naturalized at an early age, had always envied and pursued the way of life and enjoyment of the Han people, and the room of the lord of Huang Dong was full of "luxuries" such as Han snuff boxes, high-grade soju, and satin clothes (although they were rarely worn).

As for the wages of the female workers, the lord of Huang Tong generously said that he could refer to the Tinan Mountain, as long as these mothers-in-law and aunts could eat enough, and salt and iron tools were also needed by his own village.
