Chapter 307: The Tubo People Have No Belonging

Zhong Gang listened to the worm and said.

"Worm, where did you get your hands on? Why didn't I see it? ”

"I didn't see it, I want to know that I have to investigate all the caravans in Pengzhou for a period of time, or know about the grain stores, oil shops, salt stalls, as well as the situation of killing livestock and selling and laying eggs.

Now it's time to lay eggs, last month there were still people who sold pancake fruits complained that the eggs that just opened the crotch are small, and they will make less money if they put two, and the people who buy one are unwilling, and now it should be when the chicken lays the most eggs, why do you want to increase the price again?

The price of eggs and meat is definitely not an accident, but the little son of the Zhang family is unwilling to bring too much harm to the local area because of his actions, don't you see that the price of salt is still pressed in the original position, and the increase in oil and grain is the same as usual. ”

The little worm now has the same feeling as the original No. 1, as long as it encounters something special, it is like a thick fog in front of it, and it is hard to blow a place open, but when he turns back, he can't even find the way he came, and the unknown is the most terrifying.

Zhong Gang drank all the wine in the bowl as if he didn't understand, and reached out to take the wine jar, "That's not right, how can it not hurt?" Those who raise chickens make money, and those who kill livestock and sell meat pay for it. ”

"Stupid, the price of meat can be reduced, which means that the price is low when buying livestock, and how much the meat seller used to make, and he still earns that." The worm explained to Zhong Gang again.

"It's still not right, won't the one who sells the livestock lose money?" Zhong Gang's head was easy to use at this time.

The worm nodded and said, "Yes, the price of selling livestock will be lowered, who will sell livestock?" Where do the animals come from? ”

"Tibet!" Two people got the same answer.

"What about the eggs?" Zhong Gang asked again, and without waiting for the worm to say, he said again: "Could it be that it was sold to Tibet?" ”

"It's estimated that it's about the same, but why does Tubo want so many eggs? And how is it bought and sold? "I thought that the little worm that could guess the trick of the little prince of the Zhang family was hit again.

Looking at each other, the two stopped talking about it, and the more they thought about it, the more confused and tired they became, and the little worm drank with his heart and didn't take a small sip like just now, drink a big sip of wine, and eat a big bite of meat.

The other merchants in the team don't have as much thought as the two of them, as long as they reach the desert, they can find the things that the Chamber of Commerce needs there, especially herbs, as well as plant seeds, things that can grow cistanche, which are very suitable for planting on sandy ground, and some rivers have too much sand to grow such things.

By the way, you can also exchange salt and other things with the local people for local specialties, such as furs, bones that can be used as medicine by wild beasts, and even live poisonous snakes, and bring them back to Datang is another income.

Last year, because of the lack of food, the people of Tibet did not live well, and people died of starvation from time to time.

There was a shortage of farm tools and seeds, and after surviving the winter, there was no food, and I continued to stay on the weak west bank, unable to find a way to survive.

So many people dragged their families and wanted to enter the Tang Dynasty from Pengzhou and be a citizen of the Tang Dynasty.

But Datang and Tubo did not let it, Datang was afraid that this part of the people would not be easy to govern, there would be chaos, the reason for Tubo was simple, the people had run away, and Tubo had a place left, so it was better to give it to others, as long as some of the people went to Datang to live a comfortable life, other Tubo people would naturally follow behind.

The pass of Pengzhou was closed, and the cavalry of Tubo even threatened and threatened, that is, they did not let the people go forward, and the people had no choice, so they knelt outside the Pengzhou Pass, and the pleading of adults and the crying of children made the ears of the people on the pass buzz.

The officials of Pengzhou couldn't think of a way, and the Jiedu envoy of Jiannan Province was not ready to make trouble, so they watched the Tubo people outside the pass eat the food they were carrying little by little, and prepared troops to prevent the people from rushing through the pass.

At this critical moment, the inner courtyard of the Zhang family left behind in Yizhou was dispatched, and it was just a trivial matter, without asking the master's family, directly transporting food, utensils and salt, putting it down from the city wall, and telling the people of Tubo to boil porridge and drink it by themselves, and it was not allowed to rob indiscriminately.

The banner of the disbanded Yizhou logistics battalion still has a very great deterrent effect, and the people of Tubo began to boil the state very obediently, and the wild vegetables that emerged in the spring were boiled and eaten together, and after eating for three days, they settled down, and they were no longer as chaotic as when they first came.

The people in the inner courtyard of the Zhang family discussed things with them, and the two families of Zhang Wang provided the grain, and the people of Tubo took the seeds of the white stacks to plant in the east of the weak water, and before the white stacks could be harvested, the grain and other daily necessities were in charge of the two families of Zhang Wang.

After harvesting the white stacks, a part of the cost of daily necessities will be deducted according to the quantity, and the rest will be exchanged with the Zhang and Wang families for survival materials, and then planted every year, and exchanged like this every year.

The people of Tibet were about to run out of food, so they didn't even ask about the details of the exchange, so they agreed to come down and rebuild their villages on the east side of the weak water river with a lot of food, seeds and tools, ready to build a happy life with their own hands.

They are not afraid that people will enter the village from time to time to bully people like before, but they themselves will plant white stacks for the Demon Devil Juan, and whoever dares to come over will try it.

Sure enough, the sergeants who came over occasionally from Tubo were very greedy, but they didn't dare to do it, and they could only stare dryly when they saw the meat and bones sent by the Zhang Wang family from Pengzhou Pass to the people to boil soup and drink to condition their bodies, and none of them had the courage to grab them and taste them themselves.

While planting cotton, the people of Tubo also do some chores, weaving last year's hay into curtains, putting hemp into water, and then taking out *** ropes, and then hunting, preparing these things, and using them to exchange when the caravan of the Tang Dynasty comes.

The people don't know which side they belong to, saying that it is from the Tang Dynasty, but the Tang Dynasty does not admit it, saying that it is from Tubo, and it is not under the control of Tubo, this ultimate attribution problem is too profound, and the people don't think much about it if they don't know it, as long as life can be better, that's fine.

This is the second time that the caravan has come this year, the last time because the people of Tibet have just settled down, they have not changed too many things, this time the merchants feel that the people of Tibet can have a lot more goods than last time.

At this time, they gathered around the fire to discuss what kind of price to give, some people said that they could give a little higher than the last time, after all, the things that were exchanged back were really valuable, the straw curtain and hemp rope were all Yizhou Zhang Wang's two families to go, the price was high, and the medicinal materials were taken away by the local pharmacy, which was also not low, not to mention the fur.

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

Some say that if you press it again, you will say that the goods are not easy to sell, and you can make more money.

At first, the people who disagreed with each other were still talking loudly, and as they talked, they drank too much wine, and began to quarrel loudly, and some were even ready to start.

At this moment, the little worm who had been unwilling to guess the specific methods of the Zhang family's little son and always couldn't let go was unhappy, and shouted: "What are you yelling about? I really think that this is your place, even if it is given to you, which of you can keep it? Don't you think about the meaning of the Zhang and Wang families when doing things? ”

The businessmen who were still arguing were honestly shouted by Xiao Worm, they knew that Xiao Worm had personally met the two little ancestors of Zhang Wang's family, the kind that could speak, just now he was really thinking about money and thinking stupidly, at this time, he was said, and he reacted, this road belonged to Zhang Wang's two families, to be precise, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan paved it with blood.

The money earned from this road has to be taken out every year to give a special amount to the family of the Tang warriors who are buried here, and it is not something that these businessmen can control.

"Little worm, then what price do you say?" A businessman asked in a loud voice not wanting to weaken.

"Then you have to find out first, how Xiaobao and Juan Juan planned, why the people of Tubo were left here, and why they were only allowed to grow white stacks and not food."

The worm asks two questions.

The merchants also wanted to know why, and looked at Xiao Worm one by one, waiting for Xiao Worm to continue, but Xiao Worm didn't dare to say, he felt that Xiao Bao and Juan Juan were planning to one day merge the east side of the weak water river directly into the Tang Dynasty, as long as the local people got used to the current life, they would be able to merge in the future.

Seeing everyone looking over, Xiao Worm summed up in his heart and said: "Because this road is very profitable, if the people of Tubo are scared away, who will plant white stacks in the future?" My idea is to tell them how much their stuff can be sold for, and also tell them the price we are willing to give.

They think we give less, so they sell it themselves, and they feel that it is not good to enter Pengzhou because of the delay, so they sell it to us, don't always keep their eyes on the extra little money, the money in the desert is the big money, the fish and shrimp in the lakes there taste good, there are many medicinal herbs, and Cistanche.

Won't let us make less money, really did something wrong, made Xiaobao and Juan angry, you guys think about the consequences yourself, do you really plan to let them come over from the capital to solve it in person? ”

The words of the worm worked, and many businessmen made a gesture of shrinking their heads, feeling a cool breeze on their necks.

Just when the merchants decided to do what the worm said, two fast horses chased from the direction of Pengzhou, and immediately one person from each came to the front of the team, turned over and landed, and one of them said to everyone: "The Chamber of Commerce has decided that when you meet the people of Tubo, let them go to Pengzhou to sell goods in person, and inform them of the approximate price." ”

The merchants were a little unhappy in their hearts, if they really did this, then wouldn't they make less money? If you join the Chamber of Commerce, you can't do additional business?

"As for your losses." The person who came may have guessed the thoughts of the merchants, and continued: "Your losses in this regard will be reported to the little boy and the little lady, and the little boy will find a way to compensate for it. ”

The merchants were happy now, and they said harmless words one after another, and the people who came didn't want to stay outside longer, so they got back on their horses and prepared to leave, when the worm suddenly said, "Can you help me bring a letter, just say if I can help?" ”

The following words are more than the words, but they are not counted as the number of words

Changed places, it feels really good, this is actually the village where I lived when I was a child, I haven't been back for 20 years, I walked around this morning, there is a special feeling, the original river, the original tree, the original field, the original road is all gone.

After a big turn, I found a vague memory, climbed to a mountain behind a school, this place has not changed much, the pine trees from twenty years ago are still alive, but they have been labeled by others, and there are a lot of weeds growing on the mountain road, so there should be fewer people walking.

But when I was a child, it got dark early, and when I got out of school, I always felt that the grave bag on the part of the road where something was following me hadn't disappeared yet.

When I was a child, I could see the trenches left by the Russo-Japanese war that were filled in by the years, and no one ate the thing called prickly plum fruit that used to grow on the side of the roadside, so I picked a few next to a grave bag, and I didn't wash it, I just wiped it and ate it, it was not delicious, and it was not as sweet as when I was a child.

The mountains have been dug up a lot, the buildings have been built, and I can't find the slightest trace of my home on the hillside before, but there are still many mountains that no one has moved, and it is estimated that they have been contracted out, and I can go to the mountains to pick mountain vegetables in the spring of next year, well, and I can also pick mushrooms, because the sheep herders are 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 the cat's paw, monkey leg bracken, and pine dice, that is, pine mill, don't think about it, I still eat it myself, very expensive, at most, I will send you some local mushrooms called yellow mud dumplings.
