Start: Datang Wanli a lonely city

Chapter 218 Good business

Time: When a member of Emperor Han Ming's side, Lang Jiang, started to set off from Luoyang with his will and the festival representing the envoy of the Han Dynasty.

Location: Southwest of Hongbai Mountain, about [-] miles away from Yang Dongli's training camp, in an oasis called Kushuiquan.

The area of ​​the oasis is not large, and all of them add up to only a hundred and ten acres.

One of the springs flows out slightly bitter spring water. After supplying daily water for hundreds of people, it can't even raise too many camels, cattle and sheep.

So in this bitter water oasis, only a small tribe of seven to eighty people lived.

After getting rid of the old, young and women, even the cubs who have just grown up are counted together, and there is no more than 30 fighters in total.

As for oases like Bitterwater Springs and the small tribes living in them, there are actually many around them.

Like the stars scattered on the earth, they are scattered in the western area of ​​the Taklimakan Desert. They are difficult, but like drought-resistant plants such as cacti and camel thorns, they survive in this area.

Until the desertification in this area became more and more serious, the springs gradually disappeared one by one, and the oasis on which they lived turned into deserts.

It is to leave here and go to the next place where they can thrive.

It is precisely because of their weak combat effectiveness that the way they often deal with danger is not how to enhance the combat effectiveness of their own tribe; this thing has an upper limit, no matter how strong it is, it can't be much stronger.

The main reason is that this place is remote and desolate enough, and others look down on it.

There is also the obedience to the strong. After discovering the danger, if the soldiers can immediately transfer the few belongings guarded by them, and wait until the horse bandits leave before returning, that is the best result.

If it doesn't work, then obey.

Or put it another way, to show their hospitality.

But the situation in the Kushuiquan Oasis is a little different today, when a group of dozens of riders was found, galloping towards the oasis from the north.

At that time, people were riding on a Populus euphratica tree, and after Zai Changma, a young man on the branch, saw the headed person clearly, he immediately suppressed the words telling everyone to run away from his throat.

Instead, he yelled loudly with incomparable joy:
"Ari, the bald thief, is here, everyone come out and line up..."

The bald thief came, and they didn't run away or welcome them, but lined up. The reason for such a scene actually made sense.

Those idiots in the training camp need to consume a lot of food every day.

There is also a lot of meat in it to allow them to withstand high-intensity training.

In order to achieve this goal, Yang Dongli asked Lao Snake, Zhan Xiang, A Li and others to start trading with some people in the surrounding small tribes.

And recruit a little manpower from it to dig coal, iron ore, and transport it back.

The transactions and rewards paid are basically cloth and bronze wares.

As for bringing a group of people to appear together, it is just to let the people of these tribes not have unnecessary thoughts and ensure that the transaction is carried out normally.

And after arriving here at Kushuiquan, the white-haired girl A Li, saw that many people here were disheveled, and many of them obviously had multiple underlying diseases.

In addition, the many cattle and sheep they raise also look sick.

So I couldn't help but take action, and used my own veterinary methods to treat the people and animals here with some simple herbs to treat them a little bit.

Before Ali appeared, the aborigines living in Kushuiquan said that there was no cure for illness.

It was the tribal leader who stood up to the sky, smeared some sheep blood on the faces of himself and the patient, and then danced to the distant mountains, praying for the mercy of the gods.

After that, if you can survive it, you will naturally survive it.

If you can't survive it, just burn it directly, or find a sandpit and throw it away.

But that's exactly what happened, and their bodies didn't have any antibodies against the drugs, so the effect on various herbal medicines was amazingly good.

Anyway, after Ah Li finished treatment and left some herbs and left, these natives found that not only their own illnesses had improved a lot, but even their cattle and sheep had become more energetic.

Compared with the former, they value the latter more.

So, when Lao Snake, Zhan Xiang and A Li drove into the oasis with 30 men, they were surprised to see sincere smiling faces.

What's even more outrageous is that the last time they were treated, they had to queue up.

Otherwise, the reason why people directly fork it out and not give treatment, these natives have accepted and got used to the rules set by the bald bandits.

So, right in front of Ali and the others, a group of people appeared mixed with cattle and sheep.

One after another, they lined up in a long line in unusual harmony, winding directly for a distance of at least 100 meters, obviously waiting for Ali to treat them.

That guy is like the outpatient clinic of an old expert in the modern plane, which is quite a sense of joy.

Of course, Ali also understands that these people are so honest only because they have enough power to destroy this place.

Otherwise, I would have been arrested by them long ago and become a slave to see a doctor...

******
In the following time, Ali started to act with Zhanxiang and Zhanxiang.

In the case of Old Snake, he discussed with the leader of the tribe how many sheep should be exchanged for a pot with some bronze cauldrons and weapons he brought.

In addition, after a while, are you willing to send out some soldiers and go out with them to make a vote and wipe out some small sand robbers and bandits.

Regarding this point, Yang Dongli and others came up with a bad idea.

They thought about the natives under their command, and the training was almost done by now; so when they went to fight the horse bandits for actual combat training, they could definitely bring along some warriors from the surrounding small tribes.

Anyway, they don't like many trash-like things, but for the soldiers of the small army, they are treasure-like good things.

It's nice to take away while cleaning the field, thinking you've got a big deal.

Besides, how about giving them something better, giving them some real benefits?

You must know that people's thinking and actions are inertial, and they took advantage of some bald robbers in the first few times; then after they become addicted, when they follow them to complete the task, wouldn't it be a lot of cannon fodder all of a sudden.

It is still the one that does not need training, food and equipment, and will bring its own dry food, weapons, and war horses.

What needs to be paid is only a promise to distribute part of the spoils after the war, or a promise that they will pick out the rest first and then distribute them to them.

Such a business can be said to make a lot of money...
