Chapter 1439 There is also good business in the mountains ([-])

Naturally, this kind of trade is a disadvantage for the mountain people. They can only exchange a small amount of salt with the rich gifts from the mountains.

Then, among these mountain people, there is a level of status among them. The elders of the village owners who live in the gorgeous villages naturally have higher status and have more right to speak and trade. On the return journey as soon as possible, Dacunzhai became a second-hand dealer among them, and the salt exchanged from the traveling merchants was traded to the lower-status villagers at harsher conditions, so the rich got richer and the poor got poorer.

In fact, Dacunzhai also suffered losses in the transaction with the traveling merchants, but there is no way. It is not easy for the traveling merchants to enter the mountain once, and it is not easy for them to leave the mountain once. , the language and customs are not compatible with the outside world today. If you rush out and go down the mountain to trade on your own, you can only be deceived. After being deceived countless times, you finally learned to pass on the loss and get it back several times from small and medium-sized villages.

The small and medium-sized villages also eat each other, the stronger eats the weaker, the weaker eats the weaker, and the weakest don't want to be eaten, so they can only be vassals to the villages that are stronger than themselves, and give everything to keep themselves The incense of the village.

Therefore, there is a characteristic in those villages. It is rare to see young women. They are all selected as slaves by the big vassal villages. They are allowed to come back to marry and have children when they are old. Except for helping with housework, all the baby girls born later will be killed, and the baby boys will be kept. They need men for farming and hunting. Only when there are more men can they accumulate wealth and get rid of vassals, and even turn around and absorb other vassals small village.

Qi Ke has no intention of robbing those traveling merchants for business, and what they earn is just a hard-earned money. Just walking with heavy goods in the mountains and forests without official roads, those who have not walked through can't even walk halfway. Going back home or dying on the road, there are too many fatal accidents in the deep mountains and old forests.

After quitting the business, she set her sights on those small and weak villages, and wanted to do some human trafficking business.

So, after the deputies found out the situation of each village, they divided into several teams and went into the mountain with supplies, targeting those weak villages, and exchanged their baby girls and adult women with salt and brown sugar.

The salt is a bamboo tube of snow-white refined salt, if not two catties, there is a catty and a half. The amount of brown sugar is less, and one or two is wrapped in oiled paper.

A tube of salt is exchanged for an adult woman who has reached the age of 15. Baby girls and girls should try to keep the price as low as possible. A tube of salt can be exchanged for two or three girls or three or five baby girls. Anyway, it depends on the number of girls. If it is over ten years old but under 15 years old Half-year-old children use brown sugar as a topping.

Salt and sugar are precious materials that are comparable to hard currency in the village. They are traded with clearly marked prices. Even if the elders and leaders in the village are still hesitant, the parents behind the children can't wait to agree. Several companies together plan to sell the salt and sugar first.

"Wait a minute, we sold the girl, and the village above asked us to send the girl to work. Where can we find someone?" There were still leaders and elders who were sober-minded and wanted to hold back the villagers who could no longer listen to others.

"What's none of my business? It's not easy for a few money-losing goods in the family to exchange for some salt and sugar. Do I need to continue to lose money to raise her and send her to work for outsiders? They didn't do us any good by taking the girl away. How can there be such a thing?" Good deal."
