When Pan Geng moved to Yin, I initiated Jian Shang

Chapter 269 Returning the favor
However, compared to the simple exchange on Ji's side, Ax sent Zixun to a temporary house.

Before leaving, he handed a jade pendant to Zixun.

"Prince, my brother asked me to thank the prince for taking care of him in the south. This object is a kind of jade that the country found from the Guzhu clan in the northeast - Qianshantian Huangjing. A special jade pendant was carved from it. Wooden owl illustration.

Let me give it to the prince to express my gratitude. "

In the firelight, there was a palm-sized jade pendant, and an owl stepped on the branch. The dusk sun had not yet extinguished. The owl opened one eye and looked at a rat-headed guy not far away.

Very refined.

Great value!
Zixun took it and said with a smile: "Then I will accept it."

"Then I wish you good night and sweet dreams." Ax bowed and left.

As soon as he left, two people came up to him from the left and right.

Ziyu held up the jade pendant and took a closer look and said: "What does it mean to have the Xin family? Is it just a gift? Or is it a show of strength? Good guy! It's so lifelike! I've never seen such an image of the 'Owl Opening Its Eyes at Dusk'" With the exquisite carving and polishing techniques, you can imagine how many people were used to create this jade pendant.”

"The quality of the jade is very similar to the jade from Huaiyi. It seems that the Guzhu family also has jade." The diviner looked at it and continued, "There are sharp cuts that can carve these jade. It shows that the Xin family may have some jade in their hands." There’s even a recipe for No Little Dollar Bill.”

"Of course there is." Zi Yu stuffed the jade back into Zi Xun's hand. He didn't dare to take it randomly. "When the boy ax was brought up, his dagger was not a simple bronze knife. It was harder than Qi Fang's sword is much taller. This one has the Xin family, who must have mastered a lot of smelting techniques when they left Zhongtiao Mountain."

Regarding the origin of the Xin family in Changping, these royal families have more information than the Xin family themselves.

After all, the Xin family in Changping was theoretically the end of the line. The old shaman who truly controlled the family's inheritance took people to the south, while Xin Qu was toiling in Hebei. Only then did he have a gap and a lot less opposition.

Now even if the Chang Xin clan returns, Wu Xiaoye and Jiang Shi will inevitably have changes when they are sorting out the information. Regarding the events related to Zhongtiao Mountain, there is the only smelting inheritance formula of the Xin clan, which only has one rope. .

It was still a second-hand item from the Feng Huang Xiong family. Xin Qu had asked Feng Yan to decipher it for him, but he was disappointed when the test results came out. This was not a record of bronze at all, but a record of brass.

But having copper is better than having no copper at all.

Therefore, with the blessing of various information gaps, no one thought that this was a knife made of iron by the Xin family. They just thought that they had the Xin family and a bronze smelting formula with higher hardness.

Therefore, seeing a large number of scattered scratches, these unpolished parts still attracted the attention of the diviner, thinking that they were made of a better material.

This means that the Xin clan has the ability to create more and cheaper stone weapons.

Don't underestimate the fact that these weapons are made of stone. Once they are used on a large scale or projected from a distance, large numbers will cause trouble and disaster.

It’s not worth it to fight.

"But this thing is severance." Zixun weighed it and said, "We will no longer be able to control the ax. The kindness has been repaid. If I make a decision that affects the interests of the Xin family, he will only Stand on the side of the Xin family."

"Yes, indeed." The diviner nodded, "This Xinqu is very powerful. He showed us his strength without even showing his face.

The Ji family uses the aroma of autumn flowers and fruits to show the Xin family's skill in brewing, but Ax says that the Xin family prohibits brewing in places other than the Xin family's headquarters. Control.

And this jade pendant, not only allows the ax to take care of me, but also brings us closer to each other. The most important thing is to show our strength and skills.

The fact that Xin's jade can be made so well means that their stone tools can also be extremely sharp, which means great risks. It is not very wise to go to war with them directly.

In short, this banquet revealed his size from beginning to end.

It also allows us to adapt to this atmosphere in advance.When you arrive at the headquarters of the Youxin Clan tomorrow, you may be able to see a different Youxin Clan! "

"Hey, what are you thinking about so much? Wouldn't it be better for the Xin family to be a little stronger?" Ziyu smiled, "Even if the Xin family is there in the end, it will become the same threat as Tufang and Qiongfang. We can't move west or north. Is there a reason?"

"Having said that, it's not good to be too strong." The diviner shook his head slightly, "Maybe we have to support Ji's family, and we can't let Xin's family become too strong in the swamp."

"Go and talk."

Zixun put away the jade pendant and shook his hair: "Go and have a rest."

……

There was nothing to say all night. In the early morning of the next day, Zixun got up and ate some of the food in the kitchen of the Xin family. Then he looked at the people of the Xin family who were busy cultivating and grazing, and his eyes were a little intense.

These places are busy planting taro. In this era, millet was also a luxury product. The most common crops on the edge of the swamp were not grass crops, but taro crops of the Araceae family.Taro flowers and leaves are also excellent food for the coming spring and summer.

Therefore, after Xinqu completed his inspection of the edge of the swamp, he chose to temporarily promote the method of planting taro by covering the swamp cofferdam with soil.

Just before spring comes, simply enclose the edge of the swamp with a large amount of soil, so that there will not be too much water in the swamp, but it can meet the needs of the taro growth period.

It is then used to grow taro seedlings ready for cutting.

Before the summer flood season arrives, the outer perimeter of the enclosed weir will be deepened and trenched to become a separate weir drainage channel, so that floods and droughts can be relieved.

At the same time, because it is close to the swamp, the water and humus contained in the mud can help taro grow.

As for the output, it doesn't matter for this era, because the cofferdam of the swamp is an established task. Xinqu wants to shrink the redundant swamp in the north of Xiaodianze and force the water to the southeast.

Therefore, at the same time as the cofferdam, taro was planted along the way, and then the terrain could be raised, covering the southeastern silt in the northwest, and slowly transforming the entire terrain over five or six years.

Therefore, we are both producing and cultivating soil, killing two birds with one stone.

There are too many things like this.

On the road, broken charcoal forests can be seen everywhere.

While grazing cattle and sheep, some herders and their families used stone axes to break the carbonized wood in the forest, and then piled them on the ground or moved them away.

Some of them are on the roadside, and there are disabled people of the Xin family who are collecting and registering, giving bamboo coins or a few cents.

Then the grassland people can come to the market and buy salt and grain from here.

These are all paid.

In this way, Mrs. Xin kept everyone busy at a very small cost. As long as they were willing to work, they would not starve to death.

The whole order is inexplicably harmonious.

Gradually arrived at Jiuyi Township.

At this time, the small town at the mouth of the river had begun to take shape and could accommodate [-] households.

A large number of vacant houses still have courtyards, and Xiaoyi is surrounded by excavated drainage ditches and reservoirs.

A river was diverted from the main channel of Lingshui and connected to a boiling water weir in the north of Jiuyi Township.

Of course, this is still under construction.

The land that had been plowed by the Xin family was everywhere, and it was earthy and earthy.

"It's really different with the Xin family." Zixun couldn't help but murmur.

They will also build cities and residences in the south, but it is hard to imagine that the Xin family will actually build on a large scale.

But they are actually digging rivers and reservoirs.

The amount of work done between the two is completely different.

But with so many people and so busy, is there really enough food to consume?

Still very skeptical.

But soon, they arrived at their destination, Changping.

"Here we are! This is Changping!" Ax introduced.

The fortune teller and Ziyu exchanged glances as soon as they saw the city. It's really hard to fight with the Xin family!

Comfort first!
