Second Sister Nongmen has space

Chapter 244 The Uda Tribe Wants to Be Rich

Abu had already left the skewers at this time, and was eating an osmanthus shortbread in one hand.

His mouth was full, and when he heard that cumin powder was coming, he puffed his cheeks and mumbled, "Brother Ah Shi, I'll come, let me come."

Zhao Tingduo tapped him on the head: "You are not too tired!"

Abu traveled thousands of miles from south to north with himself, and hadn't had a good rest yet.

Abu was eating with satisfaction at this time, swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "Don't worry about being tired, I'll go get it, Brother Ashi can rest in Suijin Town for a few more days."

He thought about it, if he went back to the tribe with the young master today, he didn't know when he would come back later.

But the young master waited in Suijin Town, ran twice by himself, just tired, and may stay for a few more days.

Song Liyun said, "Don't be in a hurry now. It's rare for you to come here now, so just stay for a few days."

Zhao Tingduo had this intention in his heart, but he didn't know how to say it.

I used to say that I was worried that the Song family would be in danger, and they could act as guards if they moved in. Now that the bandit leader is sending them to Beijing to subdue the law, it is unreasonable to live by themselves.

But now that Song Liyun invites him, he can stay for another two days.

A Bu laughed: "Thank you, Sister Song!"

But the next second he couldn't laugh, and exclaimed: "What, you said that you wanted to go get cumin powder with us for a few days?"

Zhao Tingduo was also startled, and shook his head again and again: "No, those tribes are in the grassland, and we don't know where to find them!"

Song Liyun pursed her lips and smiled: "Then I'll go to Luo Baihu. If I can deliver mutton every day, I can't say I can't find anyone."

The source of the mutton in Tianxianglou is unknown, so others don't know about it, but Song Liyun and Lin Tao and Zhou Xiang deal with this matter every day, and everyone knows it well and deliberately doesn't mention it.

This is clearly to find the tribe.

Hearing that Song Liyun insisted on following him into the grassland, Zhao Tingduo frowned slightly.

He was considering whether to let Song Liyun know something.

The mutton sold by Tianxianglou these days is indeed from the Wuda tribe, plus the money for selling fur goods, all of them have been bought by Luo Baihu as grain and cloth and sent back to the grassland.

According to the news, the tribe will have a good winter this year.

And winter is the peak season for meat and fur sales. As long as Song Liyun manages well here, the Wuda tribe will be better every year.

This kind of goodness is different from the goodness of relying on the Zhenbei Army in the past.

At that time, the fattened cattle, sheep and horses were handed over, and the tribe only had as much food as the Hecheng camp allocated.

This is also helpless, the Zhenbei Army is also poor.

Even now, the vast majority of guards still live on their monthly salary.

Zhao Tingduo remembered his conversation with the prince.

The young man who was younger than himself and whose exhaustion could not be concealed by his fine clothes said that he should take care of the Dilu Grassland for him and stop harassing the Wu Dynasty.

The people of the two ethnic groups have suffered so many disasters that they can no longer afford to fight for many years.

After a long talk all night, the two talked a lot, and they also understood that some things were not as easy as they appeared on the surface.

Jiang Feng said before that as long as the prince is in power, the Zhenbei Army will help the Wuda tribe become the majority on the grassland.

In fact, this is difficult.

Although the prince supervises the country, his foundation is shallow and he needs time to win people's hearts.

There is also the First Prince peeping beside him.

Moreover, letting the Zhenbei Army brigade enter the grassland to help, they will face the scimitars of all the Dilu people.

Fortunately, the prince is a legitimate prince, and the emperor was forced to "recover from his illness". The only problems left to the prince are the court game and the stability of the grassland.

After Pingliang Fort was taken back, the Xuanwei Army was now transferred back to Jingwei, and all the military power in Yunzhou had been taken back by the Marquis of Zhenbei.

The prince said that the Wu Dynasty had an agreement with the royal court of Dilu, and they could not take the initiative to send troops to the grassland.

Zhao Tingduo also knew that he could not start another war casually in the future.

The Wuda tribe had been expelled from the grassland for 20 years, and had just returned. The number of the tribe was small, and it hadn't attracted the attention of the royal court of Dilu in the first year, which gave him a chance to annex several other tribes.

But things are fickle.

No one thought that just the fall of Pingliang Fort would cause domestic turmoil in the Wu Dynasty and change the court.

The cavalry of Dilu Royal Court also paid a high price in the process of withdrawing from the Wu Dynasty under the attack of the Zhenbei Army.

They got food, but lost the more important elite cavalry.

Then the Wuda tribe, which is closely related to the Zhenbei Army, will naturally be hated by the royal court, but the other party is also afraid, and will not do anything for the time being.

The Zhenbei Army could not send troops. Facing a giant like Dilu Wangting, the Wuda tribe could only be wiped out, or withdraw from the grassland forever and become an ordinary village in the Wu Dynasty.

This is what Zhao Tingduo is unwilling to accept.

But there are gains and losses.

Unlike the emperor's secret suppression in the past, now with the support of the Wu Dynasty prince, the Zhenbei Army and the government can provide various conveniences to the Wuda tribe.

As long as the Wuda tribe becomes rich, prosperous and powerful, and there is no need to fight, other small tribes on the grassland will take the initiative to join them.

How prosperous!

Zhao Tingduo has been here since Luo Baihu led a hundred soldiers to build Suijin Pass. At that time, Suijin Town was in decline and dead, as if it was haunted.

But now, houses are being repaired everywhere, lights and festoons are decorated, and the look is completely new.

Luo Baihu didn't hide a word of these experiences.

Every time he is mentioned, he says that all these changes need to start with the loan of 50 taels of silver from the Song family...

Thinking of this, Zhao Tingduo looked at Song Liyun more earnestly.

He had already seen the bustle and bustle in the town just now, and if it continues in the future, Suijin Town will become the second combined city.

It's just that taking people into the grassland is a little better in other places.

Suijin Town suffered greatly from Di Lu's bandits, so it still needs to be cautious. If others find out, Song Liyun will also be implicated.

Zhao Tingduo thought for a while and said, "It's not impossible for Miss Song to go to the grassland, but those tribes are scattered everywhere, and I need to confirm the location before I can go."

He needs to make some preparations in advance.

Abu's eyes almost popped out: I really want to take Miss Song back to the grassland!
Song Liyun can't go to the grassland immediately, she still has a lot of things to deal with, so she can only ask Abu to bring some cumin powder over.

The three of them were talking when Song Zhenping and Xiao An came back.

Seeing Zhao Tingduo and A Shi, the two brothers were very happy, and Xiao An was even more entangled with A Bu.

Seeing Xiao An and A Bu fighting together, Song Liyun suddenly remembered something, she took out a small brocade box from her "sleeve": "A Bu, the stone you gave Xiao An last time is too precious, he just takes it if he doesn't understand it. Next, you should take it back!"

Abu opened the box, and when he saw that it was the agate he had given to Xiao An, he immediately became nervous.

The young master said that these things rarely appear in front of ordinary people.

Zhao Tingduo took the agate stone from Abu, pursed his lips, and said casually: "There are many such red stones, so I will give them to Xiaoan."

Song Liyun was surprised and said: "There are so many? This is the first time I have seen such a beautiful gem, and I am reluctant to take it out."

"Seeing it for the first time? Have you never seen other red... stones?" Zhao Tingduo raised his head sharply.
