Villager of Daming

Chapter 1138 Relaxation of tension and true friendship

There was singing and dancing in the evening, and the local officials had the honor to enjoy it. They were relatively far away from the princes, and a separate stage was opened for them there.

They are not needed for the time being, and they are not allowed to listen to the princes' discussions. Liu Sheng's situation is special.

Liu Sheng ate slowly, occasionally glancing at the beautiful palace maid, with a relaxed expression. He was happiest when the team came over.

Previously, he was responsible for the affairs of the entire place, regarding border trade and mutual markets, dealing with the Jurchens, giving both kindness and power, calculating income, and guiding the Jurchen tribes in the West Sea to do things.

He endured unimaginable pressure from others. There were several times when he wanted to go back and stopped playing, but he gritted his teeth and persevered.

Now he finally doesn't have to worry. Gaizhou County officials were not familiar with Xiaqiu Village before, but he understands.

His father is the Minister of War, and he even attended the party at Jinshui Bridge! I also went to the building facing the market outside in Xiaqiu Village.

He knows very well how powerful Xiaqiu Village is, especially this team. It is said that the master follows them everywhere. Wherever this team goes, the master will be there.

Now that their highnesses have arrived with the elite from Xiaqiu Village, you don’t have to worry! Hahaha...hehehehehe...

When he was happy, he started humming along with the songs of the palace ladies.

The chief still has something to ask! Seeing Liu Sheng humming two songs there, he couldn't wait any longer: "Envoy Liu Fumin, you are so happy today!"

"That's right! Now that you're here, you have nothing to do with me... uh... Your Highnesses are lucky enough to be the capital guards of Liao, and I'm not very happy about it!"

As soon as Liu Sheng relaxed and spoke his mind, at least the prince, the maids, etc. all understood what he meant.

Even though there are just a few people in Xiaqiu Village, they are the backbone of the entire team. With them around, everyone is safe.

"Liu Fumin, there is no need for this." Zhu Ping waved his hand, "Don't get involved with us. The head of the village has something to ask you."

"In the Ming Dynasty!" Liu Sheng is called Liu Sheng. The name Liu Sheng is the same as the emperor of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms of the Southern Han Dynasty. The evaluation given by history books is not very good.

Then his father also gave him this name. He probably had few brothers in the family and wanted to have more brothers. He had many brothers with the emperor's name, so he killed the brothers with all his strength.

Liu Sheng looked at the chief and waited. He knew he couldn't run away and someone would ask questions.

"Is there any sand fruit to eat now?" The chief looked at the fruits on the table. There were watermelons, cantaloupes, and even goat's milk wild fruits.

Where did Sha Guo go? There are some in this season, Hanhan said.

"Huh?" Liu Sheng didn't expect to ask this, so he recalled: "In the area, the sago is sour. There are no sweet sago here, and the sour sago is afraid that your highnesses will eat it."

When several people heard this, they started to swallow their saliva. The sourness of the sago fruit was really frustrating. Even when there is no fruit, you can still eat the sourness. It is crunchy and crispy when you bite it. It is better when it is ripe and the noodles have changed.

"I'll order someone to bring it tomorrow and taste it to see if it can be grafted. If it's sour, it's actually good to boil it in sugar water.

In addition, remember to collect medicinal materials such as Lao Yuyan, black night sky, which is nightshade, the whole plant is used as medicine, and the ripe fruits are used to make wine. Mountain vitex seeds are also useful.

Rose thorns can be found everywhere on the mountain. Children usually eat them. Try to remove the hair inside and only eat the outer layer of skin, otherwise it will not be good for the body.

I collected a batch of all the things I could find locally and brought them to us for a look. There are clematis now. I want more of them. This one is spicy. "

The director repeated what Hanhan said. Hanhan said that he wanted to see what was there before making arrangements. Anyway, the 葶苋 cannot be eaten because they have all blossomed. Gray vegetables and amaranth are both inedible, and there is no tender place to be found. All wild vegetables are now unsuitable.

But if it rains, you can pick mushrooms, and other wild vegetables can be used as medicinal materials. Some have to wait, such as dandelions, which are called Popoding here.

The roots of dandelion are used as medicine. There are many local platycodons, called bell flower and monk's head. You can always encounter horse manure bags, that is, gray bags, which are very effective in stopping bleeding.

It has been given to the officials here before, including the sergeant and the person in charge of the department store.

Now let's see what they gain. They must find something to do for the Jurchens, otherwise they will be thinking about things they shouldn't be thinking about all day long.

Liu Sheng listened carefully. He was familiar with this routine. Xiaqiu Village took action to help the local area sort out resources and then carry out reasonable planning.

When Xiaqiu Village was in Chaoyangmen Village, it was responsible for the overall planning of the entire Ming Dynasty, while Yingtian Mansion was responsible for the detailed planning. His Majesty made a lot of money.

……

People from various Jurchen tribes in the West Sea outside have discovered the situation. Many places that they could enter casually before are now guarded and are not allowed to approach.

After some doubts, someone came over and told them that their four highnesses, King Qin, King Jin, King Yan, and King Wu, were here and they would be summoned tomorrow to explain at the specified time and place, eh! It’s waiting!

This was a big deal for the tribal leaders who came over. They didn't get enough rest, didn't eat at night, and went to take a bath. There are baths here, which are comfortable in winter. In summer... they mainly buy free soap or sulfur soap.

As long as each tribe comes over, there must be a leader following them. They are afraid that their people will be deceived, and they are even more afraid that their people will deceive themselves after completing the transaction.

Every time a key leader comes, he will receive another small gift. If he doesn't come, no one else will be allowed to receive it on his behalf.

Sometimes it's a tinplate can. It doesn't matter if the food in the can is delicious. The key is which can is good and the Jurchens like it.

It can be used as a mirror. It is very expensive to buy a cosmetic box. Cut a piece out of the can and give it to the people in the clan. Those who are rewarded must show their loyalty.

Occasionally, they can also give a bottle of toilet water. This requires the leader to get the bottle of toilet water. Each of them has one. When the mutual trade reaches a certain level, they will be given a bottle.

It is best used in summer now to prevent mosquitoes.

This time I came here and was given cooling oil, a small box for each person. After using it up, you can get it for free when you have the opportunity, or you can spend money to buy a small box, which is very cheap, only 200 Wen.

Everyone has got the cooling oil and is planning to see the Ming Emperor's son tomorrow. They don't dare to neglect it because his weapons are too powerful.

"Quickly, bring over all the things you want to sell. I'll take a look and pick them out. I'll give them to someone tomorrow. Liu Chaoguan takes the best care of our clan. We can't embarrass him. Even if we give them all, it's still worth it."

The tribal leader Wu Erduo, who had come to change the medicine when his child was sick, called for his own men. He was not like those leaders who did not prepare gifts at all and expected rewards from Prince Daming.

He would never forget that time when he came to change the medicine. He thought it would be very expensive. At that time, everyone didn't know each other very well. He could only listen to what the Ming Dynasty officials said.

Unexpectedly, when he told me the situation, he was given a lot of things. Those things were worth more than the medicine he had exchanged. His child was getting better, and he was told that he was capable.

Now that His Majesty Liu Chaoguan's son is coming over, he won't change the things he brought, but he is afraid that others will look down upon him if he gives them to him.

If I had known that the prince would come, I would have brought the best things from the clan with me when I came to save Liu Chaoguan's face.
