The peasant girl is mighty

Chapter 49

"The thread for weaving is made of jute, which is grown in every household. Jute is used to make thread for weaving and mosquito nets."

Women are happy to display the cloth they make at home.

Lin Yu reached out to touch it. This kind of cloth was thick, but rough and not soft. People with tender skin would not dare to wear this kind of clothes.

But people here are used to wearing it, so it's not a problem.

I saw the woman tied the yellowish cloth, soaked it in the water, and kept stirring it.

"What was put in this water? What color was it dyed?"

The patriarch said: "Her family's daughter is about to get married, and she is making a wedding dress for her daughter."

"Really, congratulations, congratulations to your family." Lin Yu asked Wazi to give the woman a small bag of sugar as her gift.

The patriarch showed the grass to Lin Yu, "This is what was put in the water."

"This is..." It looks familiar.

"This is Banlanqingye, the leaves of Banlangen. Can this thing be dyed?" Wazi asked in surprise.

"The roots of this grass are medicinal materials, which can be sold for money."

"How much can you sell it for? This kind of grass is everywhere, and even pigs don't eat it.

Whoever wants to dye cloth, whoever wants to pull a handful of juice. "The patriarch doesn't take it seriously.

Lin Yu sighed, "You really don't know the treasure in Fushan!

Patriarch, you should collect more roots of these grasses and prepare to sell them for money. "

Seeing Lin Yu's serious order, the woman asked, "Can you really sell it for money?"

"Yes, the price is not high."

The price in the place of origin is not high, but the price when shipped out is high.

"No one wants this thing. Only people who want it can sell it for money, and things that no one wants can't be sold for money."

The patriarch made the key point.

Even if it is ginseng, someone has to ask for it.

Unwanted stuff is excess junk.

Lin Yu fell into deep thought. The patriarch was right, no one wants this thing.

The Boluo tribe is far away from the town, and it would not be worthwhile for businessmen to enter the mountains and forests just to collect enough Banlangen.

It is not as good as buying expensive medicinal materials and wood if you collect enough isatidis.

Even if you kidnap a woman and sell it, you may earn more than you can get enough Banlangen.

In the follow-up observation, Lin Yu didn't mention the matter of collecting enough, let alone their medicinal materials.

Copper coins are useless here. They don't want copper coins, but only salt, ironware, and cloth.

The village is huge, and it took an hour to walk through it.

The cottage has a large population, at least 1000 people.

This is a large cottage.

At the dinner table, many respected old people were called to have dinner together.

At the dinner table, Lin Yu told them what was going on outside, and told them about the changes outside.

Tell me about the newly appointed magistrate.

It's a pity that the people in the cottage don't care who the county magistrate is, or how many policies to benefit the people.

Lin Yu was drunk that night, and it was Wa Zi who protected her to sleep.

The next day, Lin Yu walked around the cottage with Wa Zi, chatting with this family and that family.

She was also recognized by some people.

The captain of a branch of the Boluo tribe saw Lin Yu and summoned his brothers.

Excitedly said: "Don't you want to get rich like me?

There is a good opportunity in front of you. "

"Do you know who this woman is?
She is the golden phoenix from the old pit village, and she is the enemy of the Mu family's mistress. "

Lao Ha said: "The people in the Eagle Department said that as long as they catch Lin Yu and give them to them, they will give them one cattle and five lambs."

"so much!"

"That's not too much. The chieftain's mistress is from the Eagle Department. She said that whoever kills Lin Yu, she will give twenty catties of salt and ten catties of iron."

"Twenty catties of salt!"

Salt is more attractive than gold, and they were all seduced by this rich reward.

Lin Yu stayed at the patriarch's house that night, and they had no choice but to find another way.

After turning off the lights, Lin Yu entered the pagoda and the library.

Zhang Bin was not there, so Lin Yu walked around and found A Sheng in the corridor on the second floor.

"You saw the second floor coming, have you read all the books below?"

A Sheng responded respectfully, "I've read them all, and these books have greatly benefited me."

A Sheng looked at the bookshelf and said, "I want to read all the books here."

"Aspirational, by the way, where are the ancient books of medicine?"

Asheng brought Lin Yu over, "Why do you suddenly want to read medical books?"

"Oh, for the big neck disease.

I found that almost all the people of the Boluo tribe suffered from big neck disease.

Some are already ready, and some are always on. "

Asheng led Lin Yu to a bookshelf on the third floor, "These are all about medicine, and the G series are all ancient books."

Lin Yu picked up a thread-bound book and flipped through it, "As long as it involves 'iodine' and the big neck disease, you can help me find it."

"Ok."

The ancient books were difficult to understand, and Lin Yu couldn't understand them, but it didn't prevent her from browsing to find words.

She wanted to find out how ancient people solved this iodine deficiency problem.

When Zhang Bin saw Lin Yu, she was reading "Treatise on Febrile Diseases and Miscellaneous Diseases".

"Who of you is sick?"

"Ouch, you're so quiet when you walk, you scared me." Lin Yu was taken aback.

She stood up on her knees, handed the book in her hand to Ah Sheng, and followed Zhang Bin downstairs.

As he walked, he said: "The Boluo tribe has many problems.

The most obvious is the big neck disease. Because of the large number of people suffering from it, they don't take it seriously, thinking it is a curse from the gods. "

"There is a shortage of salt, because there is no salt, and some people's hair is all white before the age of 30.

Another is the marriage of close relatives. They do not trust outsiders and do not have close contacts with nearby tribes, which makes the marriage of close relatives very serious. "

There are many more issues, but these are not important.

"Do they accept you? Will it be against you?" Zhang Bin asked her.

The tribes in the mountains and forests are farther away from the crowd, more closed and conservative, and more xenophobic.

Outsiders are either driven or intercepted, and when encountering women, they are directly stopped to prevent them from leaving.

"It's a bit repulsive. At the beginning, they were not allowed to enter the cottage, but later the witch came out..."

Lin Yu told what happened in the Boluo Tribe one by one, and asked Zhang Bin to analyze it for her.

"They reject the government and don't trust outsiders, so I plan to stay for two days and leave.

I found that the caravans of the Mu family and the caravans of the Tu family are very close to the patriarch. "

The Tujia family is gone, but some side branches are still there. If the Tujia family recharges their energy, they want to make a comeback.

The Boluo tribe is their first choice, and it is a good place for them to replenish their youth.

Zhang Bin said: "The distance is far away, and the government can't control it.

You tell the patriarch and the shaman that I don't want them to pay the spring and autumn taxes, but they only need to pay an offering every year.

For the amount of offerings, let the patriarch come out of the mountain and talk to me.

If they agree to make a confession, I will send a doctor to treat their big neck disease.

Send people to send a certain amount of salt and iron every year. "

"it is good."

With Zhang Bin's advice, it is much easier for her to do things.

There are salt bars and iron tools hanging in front, and it is believed that the patriarch and witch are willing to come out of the mountain.

This is a big tribe, a big clan, and they cannot be left alone. For the sake of stability, we must win them over so that they will not be used by those who want to.

Lin Yu left the library and slept peacefully.
