The road from Africa to Europe

Chapter 354 On the Road
The little girls are very motivated to preside over some housework in the palace. They are happy to do their own things well, and their elders have given them some experience, but there is often a difference between theory and reality.

No matter how powerful it is in theory, there will be errors when it is implemented in reality. They only know how to do better after receiving the guidance of their elders. This situation saves Shiba Niang a lot of energy. All of you are very grateful for giving the little lady the opportunity to practice as a housekeeper.

This made Yan Suo the most favored woman among the sisters-in-law in the backyard. After the second young lady and others who had some ideas knew about it, they secretly said that the new sister-in-law was too cunning and a scheming girl.

But because of the previous incidents, their status in the eyes of their father-in-law and husband has become a lot lower, so they can only stay honestly, even if they do some small tricks, they do it secretly, but they don't succeed even once, which makes them very angry , because whoever finds out that they can't do it even if they want to embarrass the sister-in-law.

Because of the support of the prince and the prince, most of the servants did not dare to fight against the concubine, and this made their plan impossible to implement. Even if someone wanted to deal with the sister-in-law, they would be caught out quickly and directly punished.

In this situation, all the servants seem to be calm, because they feel high pressure, which makes the second young lady and the others have to calm down, and even the original idea of ​​adoptiveness gradually disappears.

Fortunately, after the princess got married, they found that the fierce female official who exposed the previous situation did not marry with the crown princess. The two sisters-in-law in the palace were relieved, and the elder sister-in-law had lost one of her minions.

Later, I realized that my thinking was too simple. Seeing that the female official did not come to the palace, but she was not idle. The things she did with the Tao family made the people of Yandi respect their sister-in-law a little bit more. I knew it was like this , it is better to let the female officer follow to the palace, so as not to let the prestige of the sister-in-law in Yandi rise again.

Because they never thought that the female officer next to the sister-in-law would be so powerful. The fleet sent out by sea while the weather was getting warmer. When they first heard the news, they secretly laughed. It was too dangerous to go by sea, and there were often ten When a ship goes out to sea, there will always be some ships that will not come back.

Everyone in Yandi knew that the people who came with the princess were all from the capital, and there were no people from the water town. How could it be possible?As a result, after two or three months, all ten ships in the fleet came back, full of food.

After learning the news, the people of Yandi were very surprised, and then they were very surprised. You must know that Dayandi has always been short of food reserves. In recent years, the emperor has not given any supplies at all, and let the people of Yandi take care of everything.Horses, weapons, armor, and other logistical supplies were all handled by the people of Yandi themselves.

Among them, the horses can still get supplies because they are next to the aliens, and the weapons can only be purchased privately. As long as there is enough money, the armor is mainly made of leather armor. plate.

Yandi belongs to high-latitude areas, and the time it can be planted in a year is not long enough. The biggest constraint is the lack of manpower. They face aliens, and often many adult men and women die or are taken into captivity every year, which makes it impossible to plant. More food.

At the same time, in the Central Plains area, which was originally a large grain producer, successive turmoil caused many people who cultivated the land to leave their homes and become refugees. In many cases, the grain was destroyed before it was ripe, and the grain that could be purchased in the original Yan land was gone. There has been a shortage of food on the ground.

It’s no wonder why the people in Yandi were surprised and delighted after the food was transported over. In addition, Ling Xiao didn’t expect to make a fortune buying and selling grain, and sold it to the Wangfu after making a part of it, which made the people in Yandi very happy. What the lord wants to know most is does the Tao family still have charts?Can more ships be used to transport more food back?But after thinking about it, King Yan did not look for the Tao family.

Unexpectedly, Ling Xiao sent Sanlang over and explained clearly what was going on. Only then did King Yan and the others know that there were other places where grain could be purchased besides the Central Plains. King Yan almost jumped up when he found out.

Before Sanlang came, I heard from my elder sister that the Tao family can create sea roads, but remember not to eat alone. In addition, she does not want the Tao family to become a family of merchants. You must know that several rich people will not have a good life in the end. Once Shen Wansan once A lot of money was spent to support Zhu Yuanzhang's rebellion against the Yuan Dynasty, but what happened to Shen Wansan?
The Tao family belonged to the outsiders who had just arrived in Yandi. Although the concubine Shizi was behind her, if she offended too many Yandi people, the concubine Shizi would not be able to save them.You can just get a part of some benefits, don't forget to be greedy.

Sanlang told King Yan: "This is the first time to go to sea. Although I came back safely, I still haven't figured out the rules in some places. I plan to hand over the chart after a few more trips." Hearing this, King Yan and his son were very happy.

In fact, even if the Tao family refused to hand over the sea charts, King Yan would not care too much. After all, the price of grain shipped by the Tao family is not high, and Yandi really needs food urgently. This is the Tao family's contribution to Yandi. Not small.

Afterwards, the Tao family’s fleet went several times, drew up the sea charts, and mentioned the problems they encountered. Finally, they made a summary and handed it over to King Yan. King Yan thought about it after receiving it, and referred to it. Looking at the situation, we know that more food is needed.

So people were transported by sea again, and a large amount of grain was brought in. This gradually gave Yandi some background, and the living conditions of Yandi people later became better in the land.

Later, the Tao family would occasionally send fleets to transport food, but it was more to let them go to farther places to see. Naturally, other people's sea ships did not have the blessing of Ling Xiao's black technology, and they did not go as far as the Tao family's ships. .

What made King Yan happiest was that the Tao family would still be farming. The grain grown by the Tao family later became better varieties, which greatly increased the grain production in Yandi, and the situation in Yandi improved even more, allowing more people to go to Yandi to beg for a living. .

All this is because of the arrival of the concubine, the Tao family will follow, which makes people in Yandi generally have a good impression of the concubine. After several years of hard work, even the eighteenth mother, who has never had children, has completely stood up in Yandi. Steady pace.

Before the big changes happened in Yandi, the emperor who was still in the capital had long forgotten about it.Because the local separatism of the dynasty began to intensify, which caused the entire dynasty to become more chaotic. There were many problems in the local area, and the emperor was busy dealing with accidents again and again, so he had no time and energy to care about the married Wang family siblings.

And Yandi is also trying to make the emperor ignore Yandi. In fact, many things that the Tao family has done have been hidden. Yanwang decided to make a fortune in silence and hoard a lot of food.

Ling Xiao naturally saw Yandi's plan, and during this period of time, Yandi's contact with the court became less and less. Although Ling Xiao killed many gangsters in the last battle, it didn't mean that she killed all the gangsters. There were even quite a few robbers left, making it difficult to pass on Yandi's information.

Ling Xiao was secretly amused. She never thought that King Yan was the kind who pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger, but she didn't care. After the Tao family's fleet went to sea for the first time, she began to prepare to see Goro. You must know where he is the most It's really dangerous to be close to people of other races, she wants to check the situation.

Seeing that Saburo was responsible for handling the food and getting ready to go on the road, she asked specifically what the aliens would do, and she had some ideas about many other questions. Seeing that the weather started to cool after the summer, she was going to Yuanhuang.

"What? Elder Sister is coming?" Goro received the news early in the morning, and the sky hovered above his head. When Goro noticed it, he stayed on the branch. Goro got the letter from the eagle claw and said happily when he saw it .

You must know that my sister was in Yandu for the past few months, but she still sent people to bring them a lot of good things, which made the originally desolate place a lot better.It solved his urgent need and allowed him to gain a foothold in Yuanhuang soon.

During this process, Goro encountered danger several times, but he did not suffer any major injuries. He still had some scars on his body, and his whole person was a little less refined and a little more fierce, but he didn't do any of these things. I plan to tell my family, how many men here in the border town have no scars?

Even Goro knew that the women in the border town would take up arms and fight at the end of the day, and they would have scars on their bodies.If sister came here, absolutely no one would care about the scar on sister's face.

After these months of experience, Goro really felt that the aliens were not good at all.In addition, after years of wars, the tribal people and Yandi people have many conflicts and deadly enemies with each other. Goro knows that the only way he can go now is to cut off the claws of those who dare to stretch out their claws, so that those people will remember .

At the beginning, he came to Yuanhuang to prove that he was good. After he arrived at this border town, he found that many people lived very hard, and many family members died in the attack of aliens, but they still did not leave. This is their Family.

When Goro arrived, he found that even the city walls were in tatters, and he might not be able to resist the next attack. After arriving, he and the people here built some damaged city walls.

He tried his best to let people build the city wall stronger and taller, so that when the next autumn comes, the people in the small city can have a shelter to resist the attack of foreigners.

Thanks to Ling Xiao, the Tao family had more food after they started transporting grain, so that the people in the border town could eat enough, and the sufficient food gave those people more energy to do the maintenance of the border town.

In addition, during this period of time, Ling Xiao also sent some caravans to the small town with commodities that could be used for exchange, in exchange for some of the livestock and livestock products produced by the small tribes, so that the more peaceful tribes could get some supplies.

After going through several worlds, she doesn't think that war by force is the only way to communicate. Sometimes trade can be used to make both parties profitable, but there are always people who want to do business without money.

Over the years, many tribes have developed the habit of violent plundering. After all, it is a profitable business without money, a way to get rich. This will inevitably make some tribes develop the habit of plundering, so they must fight back hard. , force is the guarantee of peace.

With the help of Ling Xiao, the small town of Yuanhuang is developing rapidly, recovering at the fastest speed, and expanding a little, because it has done part of the trade, so that the government and the border residents of the border town can earn money from it.

Those tribes that do business with Yuanhuang are generally of the weaker kind. There are not many men in their tribes that they can plunder, and they often make a living as nomads.

There is less enmity with the border towns, so they have the opportunity to trade with the border towns. The people of the tribe find that with the supply of materials, people's lives are much easier, and the tribe is beginning to develop.

However, because the aliens have always practiced grazing in their animal husbandry, the tribes have always lived in no fixed place. They will follow the cattle, horses, and sheep they raise wherever they go.

After Yuanhuang’s situation, they went to the city to buy some supplies, and soon found that this was a relatively reasonable transaction. Most of them wrote down this border town, thinking that they would come here to replenish supplies when they had the opportunity. There are food and cloth here. , and salt.

When Wulang arrived in Yuanhuang, he did everything by himself. His reputation in Yuanhuang was still good, because of the relationship between food and a lot of goods, people in the small town benefited, and naturally they were loved by people.

Besides, after Ling Xiao left the reluctant Saburo, he rode fast all the way. Of course, he also brought some cars, which are what the border town needs. The group of them still attracted a lot of attention, and they never thought that there would be a woman going to Yuanhuang .

Along the way, Ling Xiao met people who wanted to do business without capital. You must know that there have been small groups of horse bandits in this place. After seeing her, her mouth was not very clean, so she wanted to rob someone.

In their hearts, women are lowly, and they are property that can be used by them. Once they are caught, they will be their slaves. They can do whatever they want, especially Ling Xiao's current one is wearing a mask, but it looks good.

This made them feel very good. You must know that many nobles in the tribe like to play with Yan slaves. You must know that Yan slaves are generally better-looking, with a thin waist and a fair face.

For their horse bandits, it would be more valuable if they could snatch a beautiful slave girl from the Yan people.And those female horse bandits generally don't like Yan people's female slaves very much, because they are too delicate.

Basically, I don’t know how to work, especially I don’t know how to work in the village, such as milking and herding. You must know that the women in the tribe have to do many things, and most of the Han women have no relevant work. Experience, they are weaker.

Most of those beautiful female slaves are just playthings, and they don’t know how long they can live, and the less beautiful ones will work honestly soon after being transformed, and the men in the tribe don’t dislike them too much. .

You must know that women can give birth to children, so for the tribe, the increase in population will make the tribe prosperous, so when they see Han women, no matter how they look, they still have to rob them and go back. This is a fortune.

For Ling Xiao, these people are not worth being angry with at all. She didn't want to kill people as soon as she came up. Anyone who wanted to imprison her or rob her would not stay.

She didn't know what they were thinking until she caught them and tortured them. She sneered and hated their behavior that they wanted to reform themselves. Moreover, they didn't treat the same kind of people, but treated women like cattle and horses.

Ling Xiao decided to wait to catch the captives. Some of them don't need to live. For example, those who like to eat people can't keep them alive even if they are given the most money.She didn't keep her hand, she just grabbed them all, and that kind of old oily person was slaughtered directly, which Yuzhen could tell.

Those who committed too many crimes were slaughtered directly, and those who just came to rob are waiting for future labor reform.You must know that the current population is relatively small, so just let them enjoy the feeling of being treated as slaves.

Then she found out that many of the captives of the horse bandits were from that kind of tribe, and there were even people from the upper class of the tribe. That would be even better. They can be released if they get the ransom. Let them go and wait for honest work.

In this way, Ling Xiao brought a large group of people to the border town, and it was quite funny to let Goro know, because he never thought that sister would bring these people over.

After a period of time, some people were going to come to redeem themselves. They brought cattle and sheep, and Ling Xiao let them go directly. Anyway, this kind of people are usually like masters, and they can't do much work. It will save trouble if they let go.

After a while, the tribe planned to start preparing to attack again, and Ling Xiao killed all the cattle and sheep, and sent some directly to other cities to replace them with other things that should be there.

After this period of trade, some small tribes no longer intend to come down to rob, because cattle and sheep have been exchanged for enough things, and they even found that they have more places to exchange, such as mushrooms and wool.

They found that the Yan people prefer the thread spun from wool, and some wool is also available, as well as leather. These don’t need to be robbed, just need to be exchanged. Squeezing, but it feels good like this.

Under the bright light, there is no lack of people who want to rely on robbery for a living. In their view, the richer the people in the border town, the more likely they are to rob.Some people wanted to avenge their capture, and that small border town became the target of many people for a while.

Ling Xiao didn't expect it to be like this. She was not very willing to talk to those people. In order to prevent the large-scale siege of the city by foreigners, she began to set up relevant formations outside the city.

Of course, as a mortal world, it is impossible to copy the things of the cultivation world, because the formation is based on the foundation of aura, but it is naturally impossible for the mortal world to have the ability of magic formation.

But it can make them feel unclear about their direction after entering, which is very dangerous for those enemies. Naturally, it is impossible for Ling Xiao to let their aliens kill them in the city, but thinking about how to attack on a large scale outside Kill the enemy so that they dare not come again easily.
