Chapter 108: It's Fake, Isn't It?

The number of Baiyue people captured in this attack was 1,326, of which basically women and children were killed, and the number of people killed in the prime of life may have been too many when they were invaded, and the number of people who were counted and killed was 692.

Before the invasion, the two Baiyue tribes selected by LΓΌ Zhe were actually the same tribe, and its name was "Suyan". The population of this tribe was numbered at about 2,300 before the war, which means that those numbers were either fled during the battle or did not return to the valley.

Lu Zhe personally went to inspect the seizure, and looked at the vast amount of fur and felt a little dazed. He also saw the "tortoiseshell", a stony jade-like gemstone that was very popular in the Central Plains. There were also many types of food seized, mostly rice and fruits, and there were even a lot of fruit wine in barrels, but the most was dried fish.

Pickled dried fish is a very good thing, it is impossible for individuals to lack salt, and its strong saltiness can replenish enough salt for the human body.

Lu Zhe didn't think about this, he was thinking that the Baiyue people could have enough salt to marinate dried fish, which means that they have a salt-producing land? Salt is an important strategic commodity in any era, and he was very excited when he discovered this.

There were also many types of furs seized, mostly the ones that are often caught in the southern forests, and Lu Zhe thought that these things seemed to be useless. Later, after thinking about it, he felt that it was wrong, so he specially found someone who knew fur to understand that ordinary fur could be made into armor leather, and the best leather goods were sold in the Central Plains for a piece of gold or more.

That is to say...... These furs are completely rich once they find a buyer? ”

One was to determine where this tribe knew where the salt was produced, and the other was to understand the value of furs, and he had not yet been excited by these two news, and he seemed to calm down when he thought of something.

"The seizure must be handed over in accordance with the regulations, but according to the regulations, it can be divided into 30%."

Ordering the people to make a record and reorganize the loading, he planned to personally escort the captured supplies and the captured Baiyue people to Gangneung in the afternoon. As for secretly withholding some? He wasn't going to do it.

Worried about the salt-producing areas that the Suyan tribe might know, Lu Zhe asked people to lead the way to meet the elder named Ningsa.

Walking down the road, looking at the familiar camp again after eight days, looking at the women who were still busy, the old people cleaning the aisles with rudimentary tools, the children playing and chasing, everything seemed so comfortable.

Whenever Lu Zhe passed by, no matter what people were doing, they would always temporarily put down their work, salute respectfully, and wait for Lu Zhe to leave before continuing to do things.

Great Qin's invasion of Baiyue has never been their concern, the only thing these people care about is being able to eat their stomachs, and the officials of the Qin people can be less harsh.

During the period of management, they often did not have enough to eat, and they had nothing to do all day.

Instead of Lu Zhe taking over Yiling, he made many changes to the Southern Xinjiang Refugee Group, first of all, he asked them to restore the order in which everyone had something to do, and before that, the order was far away from them. Life lost its purpose and no longer knew what to do every day, to be honest, many people had become desperate, just numbly waiting for the Qin army to launch an invasion of the Baiyue people, and then be driven to the primeval forest to clear the wasteland, and then endure the never-ending attacks of the barbarians.

Doing something can make people feel stable, and they can't have malicious will towards Lu Zhe, the new lord of Yiling. The later training allowed Qingzhuang to have a life of three meals a day, coupled with the propaganda of Mao and others, Lu Zhe was quickly accepted by most people.

A commander who cares about them, a commander who can win at a small cost, a commander who does not hesitate to dig into the forest for eight days in order to help them raise food and grass......

If you pay attention now, you will find that there are many people, and they have begun to have a feeling of trust in Lu Zhe, all because their relatives who were taken out of the city to fight have basically returned safely.

In everyone's eyes, there is a Lu Zhe who they understand in their hearts, and many people have been building momentum for Lu Zhe to win people's hearts, how can they not slowly develop feelings of love?

Of course, Lu Zhe didn't know so much about the Dao, and he didn't notice the psychological changes of those around him. What he is most desperate about now is to know the location of the salt-producing land of Lu Dao!

Seeing the elder named Ningsa again with someone who knew Baiyue's dialect, Lu Zhe found that it had been a night since he was escorted to Yiling, and the old man had changed from calm to surprisingly angry.

Ninza certainly had reason to be angry, he had already conceded defeat on behalf of the tribe and handed over his hard-earned supplies but was not released, believing that the hateful young man had broken the rules of engagement.

The so-called law of engagement is the Spring and Autumn Ritual Law. But then again, the Spring and Autumn Law has long been out of use, and the Baiyue people have also fought with the Qin army countless times, how can they still think that the Qin people will abide by it? I guess there are a lot of untold stories in this.

"Salt land? Don't you think you're too greedy, young man!? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Lu Zhe looked at the old but angry Ning Sa, and it was difficult to understand why this tribal elder of the Baiyue people was so excited and disgusted with himself.

"We've paid the price, you should let us go, and you shouldn't break the tradition!"

Baiyue people actually have such a tradition? Lu Zhe looked funny. He told Ninsa that he would consider letting him go if he was willing to tell him where the salt was growing.

"No, no, no! It was to let the elders and the women go. Ninsa blinked her cloudy eyes: "If you want more, that's when you will win next time!" ”

From the words, it has been confirmed that Ningsa knows where there is a salt-producing land, but Lu Zhe feels that he can't keep up with the rhythm, he really doesn't understand how Ningsa dares to roar loudly in the case of "man-made knife and I am fish and meat"?

The old man angrily broke his thoughts, and under the translation, Lu Zhe slowly understood.

It turned out that the Qin army had always been in the battle to clear the Baiyue tribes, and I don't know for what reason Lu Dao was still implementing the "Spring and Autumn Rule", as long as the Baiyue people could come up with enough materials to ransom people, the Qin army would abide by the Spring and Autumn period of conquest and let them go.

Lu Zhe didn't know what the "Spring and Autumn Rules of Engagement" were, and he even thought that this old man was "shaking" himself. The Qin army was very bloodthirsty in battle, and such an army would only detain men and children in the prime of life and let go of the old people and women after victory? It's just a joke!

The person in charge of the translation, this fifty-year-old Lu Zhe who didn't know the name of Lu Dao, he endured it for a long time and said, "Official...... That's true. ”

"What?" Lu Zhe thought he had misheard: "What did you say?" ”

The old translator seems to be a little nervous? He said weakly: "The Qin army has been at war with Baiyue for several years, and when they fight, they will indeed let go of Baiyue's old men and women as this Baiyue elder said, as long as they get enough ransom. ”

Lu Zhe looked at Ning Sa, and then at the translator who looked nervous but tried his best to explain, and only left in his heart: "......? ”
