When Pan Geng moved to Yin, I initiated Jian Shang

Chapter 37 Qing Ji is Shaodian’s concubine
Xinqu sat by the bonfire and lit the dry firewood prepared in advance with a fire stick.

Qing Ji looked at the fire hammer in Xin Qu's hand in shock. Is there such a fire sickle in this world?

"Since you are so curious, you might as well ask Qingji about her identity."

Xin Qu said with a smile.

Ginger Haru looked at Kiyohime.

She pondered for a moment and said, "I am Lei from the Shaodian clan."

"Lei!!!" Xingrenchun stood up in shock. The next second he immediately covered his mouth and lowered his voice: "Really?"

Lei is an official position, also called Silkworm Official and Lei, which is an official position for weaving silk. Because most of them are held by women, it is called Lei.

The first one made of silk was called Leizu.

Is the specific source the same as the legend of Leizu mulberry silkworms in "Jiyun"?

Everything is still unknown, but judging from the information Xin Qu has accumulated in the past six months, Lei is very important to Zhu Ji.

"Yeah." Qing Ji looked at Xin Qu carefully, "You don't seem surprised?"

Xinqu shook his head: "I know how to raise silkworms and reel silk. I just guessed that you were a noble. I didn't expect you to be Lei."

"Hmm...Brother Xin feels so embarrassed when he talks big. Lei is an inheritance, and even men can't do it!"

Qingji's niece shaved her face when she heard this.

Xin Qu did not refute, while Xing Renchun recovered from the shock: "Then why did you end up here? Your identity is enough for you..."

"It was not Tudi who defeated us, but the Xingtian clan." Qingji couldn't help but grit her teeth when she mentioned the Xingtian clan.

Xin Qu knew that there were descendants of the Xingtian clan named Jiang in Shanxi, but they were definitely not as glorious as they once were, and there were also situations where different clans were fighting each other between Zhu Jiang and Zhu Ji.

The main reason is that the carrying capacity of Shanxi's basins has now reached its limit. Coupled with the pressure from merchants, earthworkers, and ghosts, Shanxi is actually very desolate, and only the valleys of Fenhe and Taiyuan basins can be inhabited.

So once the population reaches a critical value, and the merchants have not been hit by the recent civil strife, they will kill each other and compete for resources.

"The Xingtian clan wants to use my silkworm control skills to win over other Jiang clans so that they can expel Zhu Ji and then find a good piece of land to move there.

But I ran away with Shui Ji. As a result, I ran in the wrong direction and was caught by Tu Di from the north. They sold us to the Red Rock Tribe. "

Qing Ji didn't say a word, her expression was a little gloomy.

Xingren Chun recovered from the shock and looked at Xin Qu with more eager eyes.

OK!Lei!It’s actually Lei!
Not to mention buying it back with three hundred shellfish coins, even three thousand, the value is worth it!
Whether it is the future textile development of the tribe or giving it to Dayi merchants in exchange for bronzes, it is a huge profit!
"Qu, you are still you, and you will never make a loss-making business."

All the dissatisfaction in Xingrenchun's heart disappeared in an instant.

Xin Qu said calmly: "Since Qingji has revealed your identity, I hope to get your confirmation. Are you willing to join me as the Xin family?"

"Is this... so direct?" Qing Ji's niece looked curious, "Can Brother Xin have the final say? When I used to see the clan members, I had to hold a general meeting."

"I am the patriarch." Xin Qu also revealed his identity, "Besides, we have the Xin family, which is tolerant of most healthy women."

Qing Ji looked at Xin Qu in shock: "You...are you really the patriarch of the Xin clan?"

"Qu is indeed the clan leader of our Xin clan." Xing Renchun sighed, "The clan leader recognized by most people in the clan. It was also because our tribe followed the Shang Dynasty in the Western Expedition that we handed over the power of the clan leader to Come and exercise.

If we had not surrendered, we would probably starve to death this winter.But this time, [-] acres of pasture were obtained from the Chishi tribe, and each acre could harvest almost half a bag of grain. This time the tribe could even survive until next year. "

Xingrenchun was quite emotional about this harvest.

Xin Qu's two days of operation can be said to be an eye-opener for Xingrenchun. It turns out that an unfounded noble status and a rumor that salt from the west can't come in can create a huge premium out of thin air.

Then he used something that the other party thought was cheap, and used the lavishness of a noble to give the other party the feeling of taking advantage. The other party sent a bunch of food to the Youxin family on the basis of half selling and half giving.

Obviously I can't afford such a high price with shell coins or something.

Qingji's eyes were filled with disbelief when she heard Xin Qu's achievements.

However, Xin Qu calmly took out the bamboo slips, compared them and said: "The other party is a smart person. Since he is a smart person, he will definitely become superstitious about his own judgment. In addition, with Xin's reputation, he can take advantage of the situation. In exchange for more benefits.

It's just that the other party doesn't know that I have a way to process these millets.

So we subconsciously think that we are just like them, just feeding livestock, but we don’t know that most of these millets need to be shelled and subsequently processed.

Manpower is temporarily difficult to cope with, and other forces need to be used.

Therefore, the construction of the city this time requires planning the mill in advance. "

Xinqu said, raised his head and looked at Xingrenchun: "Have a good rest tonight, and set off at dawn. Let people take turns to watch the night to prevent the cattle and horses from being charged by tigers and wolves, and pay attention to the emotions of the livestock at all times. They are more sensitive than us. If there are wild animals If you get close, they will panic immediately, which can be regarded as an early warning.”

"it is good."

After everyone finished eating, they went down to make arrangements.

"Auntie, what are you looking at?" The girl came over and saw Qingji who had been looking at the boy by the campfire. "You must have fallen in love with him, right?"

"You girl, don't you know the rule about not marrying if you have the same surname?" Qing Ji pushed the girl's head with her fingers and said with a dissatisfied look on her face.

The girl covered her head and groaned: "But I asked other people that the surname of Xinqu's mother clan is not Ji, but Yao."

"Yao's surname?" Qing Ji's eyes brightened, "Who told you?"

"Now, what Chuan Ji said is that he also has the surname Ji and comes from the Shaohao family."

The girl pointed in the direction of Sichuan Ji who was on duty at night: "He said that Xinqu's ancestors had a minor surname in the clan. After the death of the Yu family, they first went to the Xiahou family, and were then given to the Xin family by the Xiahou family, and became A nickname.

It is said that he and his younger brother are the only ones with the surname Yao.Other tribesmen either split up along the way as the Xin family moved north, or died of illness.

And because he was not well-known at the beginning, no girl ever asked about his marriage.

When he reacted, he suddenly became the clan leader. Recently, many girls and old people from the Xin family have been looking for Xin Qu's surname and are looking for opportunities to marry him. "

Is your surname Yao?
Qing Ji looked at Xin Qu with interest in her eyes.

"Hehe, I knew that my aunt would not be willing to give up Brother Xin. If Brother Xin hadn't disliked me for being young, I would have fallen for him!"

The girl encouraged her aunt in a low voice: "Auntie, please come on, Lei's identity will not be taken with her when she is born or even when she dies, but if we can exchange this identity for brother Xin's marriage, we will not only be able to live a stable life.

And it can also make them and the Xin clan feel at ease.

At least, look at Xingrenchun, he went to talk to Brother Xin again.

Look at us here. "
