Chapter 29 Flick, then flick!

"Oh - are there any travelers from the Xin family? I am Akaashi Qu from the Akaishi tribe."

A young man wearing obvious tribal totems ran over and saw the commodity cart brought by Xinqu and the others. He said excitedly: "I've waited for you pedestrians. It's been a pot of millet outside. This year, many people outside the mountains have Pedestrians all said that it was difficult to transport things, so the clan leader asked our hunting team to look around more."

Akaishiqu was obviously careless. He pointed to the forest in the distance and said, "We have opened a road and we can go directly."

"Wait a minute, we have traveled day and night to get here, and we are already very tired. We are ready to eat something before we go on the road. Why don't we call the brothers in your hunting team to help us guard the surroundings. We have brought a lot of salt along the way. You can cook something to eat.”

Xinqu said to Chishiqu with a smile.

"Salt!" Akaishiqu swallowed his saliva and nodded repeatedly, "You are also exhausted. You should have a good rest. I will call the brothers."

Akaishiqu ran away happily.

Xin Qu looked at his back and suppressed his smile, keeping the short blades at hand ready just in case.

The soldiers were all accustomed to Xin Qu's method, and they only started to work after matching the short blades one by one.

"How is it?" Xingren looked at Xin Qu with a smile, "This kid heard you talking about salt, and his throat felt as if he had swallowed a river. I guess he really lacks salt."

"That's roughly the case. We need to further inquire about the information and find out the bottom line of the Akaishi Tribe. However, the Akaishi Tribe may only buy it from us."

Xinqu sat on a large pebble brought from the river beach and stretched his legs: "Maybe this batch of salt can bring unexpected benefits."

"Well, I think so too. However, my idea is to activate some of the empty jars above." Xia Ye, a pedestrian, smiled.

Xin Qu nodded, and Xing Xia began to work.

Take down several earthenware jars filled with salt, then pour half of them into empty jars, then take out the bottom wooden box, pour out the dry sea sand inside, mix one-third of it in, seal it and shake well. .

After Akaashi Qu went to shout around, the guys from the hunting team quickly came running.

There were exactly six people. Xin Qu and the others were somewhat reassured. There were not many people, so the chances of winning were high in a fight.

Then this group of people poses little threat to them.

Xinqu and the others were cooking, and then asked the people holding several pots to each take out a small jar of salt.

As a result, Xia Gingren deliberately took away the salt shaker on the second floor, revealing only half of the salt left, so that Akaishi Qu and the others could see clearly.

"It's not much salt, but there's a lot of sand."

The two middle-aged men in the hunting team murmured.

"It's really less. It seems like there's chaos outside. Even with the Xin family, we can't get much salt."

Xin Qu listened to their murmurings, but smiled and said nothing. Instead, he invited them to eat together.

It tasted salty, but there was sand in it, so Xin Qu endured it and ate it.

After all, it’s a miserable sale!
"Alas, recently, the merchants in Dayi have been targeting the Guzhu family. The salt from the seaside can no longer be brought in, and even the shell coins are too expensive."

Xin Qu stirred up the topic and started complaining to Xing Xingdong.

The passerby understood the situation, waved his hand and said: "This is a good thing, we still have a lot of shell coins in our hands, and we can exchange for a lot of things."

"Well, this year's divination by the witches in the clan says that this winter will be very hot. I don't know if it's true or not."

"Don't you dare say nonsense! This is the result of divination with ghosts and gods!" Xingren Dong quickly silenced Xin Qu.

"I'm just worried. If it doesn't get hot this winter and we need a lot of leather, what should we do? The clan didn't give us the trading volume for leather this year, so we just asked us to exchange for millet.

It is said that there is a war in the east, so millet should be very expensive.

In exchange for millet, when the east side is finished beating, we can just go over and exchange the millet for their salt. "

As Xinqu spoke, the middle-aged people of the Chishi tribe listened attentively.

Catching their movements from the corner of his eye, Xin Qu had a definition for these two middle-aged men.They are pedestrians who understand the Xin language.

Since we are pedestrians, we are fellow travelers.

Thanks to my colleagues, let me trick you!
"Millet? Our tribe has had a great harvest this year. Where do we need millet?" Xingren Dong asked knowingly, "This year the tribe has expanded by thousands of acres.

On the contrary, it is the shortcoming of forage. After all, some people in our clan have gone out with merchants to fight the Guzhu clan. When they come back after winter, they will probably bring a lot of livestock.

Still need to prepare some forage. "

"That's right. The battle to the east is expected to end in the spring of next year. Then there will be a few more rounds of fighting. Where is the need for millet? People will die when the war starts, and there will be many more deaths. People who eat millet will It’s just less, it’s better to stock up on some more leathers. If it gets cold this winter, you can exchange them for a lot of good things if you take them to the south!”

"It's not as exaggerated as you said." Xingrendong shook his head with a look of disbelief.

Xinqu replied with disdain: "It's not what I said. Although the merchants of Dayi are powerful, they have been fighting enemies in the southeast recently. All the towns in Dayi have moved to Amla in the south, and they will not be able to return to the north for a while.

Naturally, not much troops can be deployed to the north. The battle with the Guzhu clan will definitely not end unless it lasts for two or three years.

At this juncture, the road is blocked and millet cannot be transported out even if it is expensive.

It is better to save some hard currency first, such as leather and shell coins.

When the war is over, Pizi exchanges slaves with the victorious tribe in the west, and then takes the slaves to the defeated tribe to collect ransom. Each person wants ten pounds of salt or three shell coins, which is not too much!

You know, with the war going on in the east now, the shell coins from the sea cannot be transported to our mountains, and the nomadic guys also use our shell coins.

In the next two or three years, whoever has shell coins in his hands and exchanges them for things will get more! "

The two middle-aged travelers from the Chishi tribe exchanged glances, and then one of them came up and said to Xinqu: "This brother is very good! I also heard that the merchants of Dayi in the east are at war with the Guzhu clan. I don’t know what the situation is like.”

"What else can we do? We have the Xin clan, and more than 1000 soldiers of the Xin clan have been taken away to fight with us." ?"

"One thousand!" The middle-aged man from the Chishi tribe looked at him in shock.

"Yes, one thousand. Our Xin clan formed an alliance with the Shan and Luan tribes at the beginning of this year. Each of them sent more than 200 people to the battlefield."

Xin Qu deceived him: "With the Xin family, there are almost 5000 people now. Just 1000 people are nothing."

"Ah, yes, it's really nothing!" The middle-aged man licked his lips. The Xin clan could produce a thousand warriors and strong laborers to do business.

The Akaishi tribe has more than 1000 people at all times.

Even such a large tribe can only get a pile of sand and salt. Doesn't that mean that the east side is really crazy!
Seeing his thoughtful look, Xin Qu did not continue to guide him, but just urged his subordinates to eat quickly and then take a good rest.

Two middle-aged pedestrians were hiding together and muttering.

After discussing for a long time, I came to the conclusion that leather cannot be sold simply because it is durable in storage. It is better to sell some millet or pasture from the Xin family, since they have more of it anyway.

Then find a way to exchange salt and shell coins from the Youxin family. This business of redeeming slaves is indeed promising. After the war in the east has been completed recently, someone will definitely be needed to lead the way and redeem the population.

Since the Xin family is a member of the battlefield themselves, they definitely cannot do this work themselves. Looking at the two foothills of Yanshan Mountain, their Chishi tribe is the most suitable.

More importantly, shell coins are hard currency in the mountains and outside the mountains. If there is a war on the seaside and traffic is blocked, the number of shell coins will definitely not increase, and the price will rise. Whoever controls the shell coins will make more.

"The Xin family must have sent a large number of strong men to the battlefield, so they sent this young boy to lead the team. Thanks to him, he leaked a lot of information to us!"

"Hehehe! It's our turn to earn it!"

The two middle-aged men from the Red Rock Tribe murmured to each other, their smiles gradually spreading.

 la la la!
