Chapter 234: Concubine Xiangyun, Trading Market

When Li San saw Ge Sanniang and Xiao Huan coming out, he asked, "What do you think?"

Ge Sanniang smiled and said: "The house is quite nice, but the smell is too strong."

Too strong?

Li San was confused for a moment.

They've cleaned it, but there's still some smell?
Ge Sanniang said again: "Didn't you say that your village has temporary wooden houses? Village Chief Li will take us to have a look."

Li Sandao: "Those temporary wooden houses were built in a hurry and are very small. They are not as comfortable as my house."

Even so, Li San still took Ge Sanniang and Xiao Huan to see the temporary wooden houses - they were all built after receiving the decree from above.

It's definitely better than the log house they lived in last year when they were reclaiming the wasteland, but it's incomparable to a serious house.

More than 30 other women were choosing houses here with a dozen children. When they saw Ge Sanniang, they all came over to say hello.

When Li San saw this, he realized that Ge Sanniang's prestige among these women was higher than he thought, and he wanted to curry favor with her even more.In fact, he had become somewhat interested in Ge Sanniang.

So he led the two of them to see the best temporary wooden house.

There are only two small rooms in this wooden house. There are two single beds in the inner room and a table and a few chairs in the outer room. There is not much room to move around.

Ge Sanniang was quite satisfied after seeing it, but Xiao Huan was indifferent.

As a former landowner and wealthy businesswoman, Xiao Huan did not have everything even though she had moved to this place that was unknown how far away from the Ming Dynasty.

Not only did she find a secret cellar where food was stored in the mansion, she also found some gold and silver.It's not much for a family, but for her personally, if she saves a little money, she may not be able to use it up in her lifetime.

She has already thought about spending money to build a small house when she gets used to the life here.

As for getting married--remembering what happened in the bandit camp, she didn't want to think about getting married at all.

However, Ge Sanniang was already flirting with Village Chief Li in front of her.

"Village Chief Li, I heard that we can rent five acres of official land per household, and we can also choose to work in the town's workshops, right?"

"That's right." Li San nodded, "Both of you are women. If you don't want to farm, I can introduce you to the workshop."

"I heard there is a weaving workshop in the town?"

"Nowadays, every town in Weibu has a weaving workshop, mainly weaving cotton cloth, but also weaving silk and satin."

Ge Sanniang laughed when she heard this and said, "That's great. The Xiao family and I both know how to weave, so we will be working in the weaving workshop."

"Although the weaving mills in the town are a bit strict, the food is good, so you won't suffer any loss if you work there."

···
It is also the sixth day of August.

It was Liu Sheng who took Li Xiangyun as his concubine when the Liujiazhai was decorated with lanterns and decorations.

Because it was a concubine, Liu Sheng did not make any arrangements. He only set up more than a dozen banquets in Liujiazhai, bringing the four families who were the first to be brought to Liujiazhai, as well as the current chief stewards and stewards of Liujiazhai. People, please come and have a meal.

Although the wedding banquet was simple, Li Xiangyun was very satisfied.

One is because he got what he wanted; the other is because Liu Sheng used the first floor of the villa as his wedding room.

At night, after a violent storm, Li Xiangyun looked up at her pretty face dripping with sweat and asked, "Husband...?"

Seeing her playful expression, Liu Sheng couldn't help but twitch her nose and said with a smile, "I meant something else."

"I'm already eighteen, not too young."

"Shiba is still a freshman at our place."

"What is a student?"

"that is···"

Liu Sheng still pities the little girl.

He talked about some things about the future generations, which made both of them drowsy and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Liu Sheng had breakfast with Zou Runniang and Li Xiangyun, then went to North America and headed to Hexi Town with a group of knights.

Today is the day when people from the Altay Alliance go to Hexi Town to trade - they are influenced by the traditions of the natives and like to focus on trading.

Hexi Town now has a population of more than 1 people and is surrounded by several villages.Most of the buildings in the town are in the Ming Dynasty style, with bricks and tiles combined with wood. If you don't look at the surrounding forests and wilderness, you will feel like you are in a rough border town in the Ming Dynasty.

Because Liu Sheng had not said hello before, when Yang Minghe learned about it, he hurriedly brought several officials from Hexi Town to greet him, but did not mobilize any troops or crowds.

"See Master!"

"No need to be polite." Liu Sheng said with a smile, "I'm just here to see the trade fair between our army and the Altay Alliance - you can do whatever you want and don't pay attention to me."

After saying that, he walked towards the town with his bodyguard.

Yang Minghe and others quickly followed.

"Where is this trade fair usually held?"

"There is a market built outside the town specifically for trading with the natives. After all, the natives have different customs from us and their language is not clear. If they are allowed to enter the town to trade at will, trouble will easily arise."

Liu Sheng nodded, "This arrangement is good. All transactions between the Ming Dynasty and Mongolia must be conducted through a special horse market, let alone our transactions with the natives.

However, I heard that your market only opens once every half month. Is the time interval too long? "

"Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief, the locals have little property, so once every half month is already very frequent."

While talking, the group came to the trading market in the north of the town.

The style here is also very rough, or simple.

They just built some large thatched sheds to provide shelter from the rain on rainy days and cover from the sun on sunny days.

Private transactions inside have already begun.

The people who had farmed some of their fields would make some gadgets, or directly take goods such as cloth, dried salted fish, etc., and trade them with the natives in the market.

The goods of the natives are mainly animal skins, some strange stones, and even tribal handicrafts.

As for the prisoner trade, it was carried out by the officials of the Weibei and the elders of the Altay Alliance.People in the Kuei tribe were not allowed to trade prisoners of war directly with the natives.

First, the current number of prisoner of war transactions is still very small.

Second, private transactions are not conducive to supervision and are prone to various problems.For example, some natives secretly kidnapped women from the Altay Alliance for trade, which violated the rules of the alliance.

Yang Minghe knew what Liu Sheng wanted to see most, so after he arranged for Liu Sheng to sit down under a large straw shed, he went to talk to the elder in charge of the Altay Alliance.

It didn't take long for the two to reach an agreement.

Hexi Town took some salt, salted fish, cheesecloth, and pottery products in exchange for more than [-] native women and a few native children who looked only a few years old.

Then the official deal is over.

The natives continued to visit the market, while Yang Minghe led a group of native women and children to Liu Sheng.

Liu Sheng took a look and found that although these native women and children looked quite thin, they did not look like they had been beaten or abused, so he withdrew his gaze.

Then he smiled and said to Yang Minghe: "I didn't expect you to have learned the native language, not bad."

Yang Minghe said modestly: "It is not difficult to learn native language."

Liu Sheng reminded: "We still need to induce them to learn Chinese."

"My subordinates remember it."

Liu Sheng looked at the native children again and asked, "Are these children brought by the native female prisoners?"

"Yes, they are all their children. Among them, the boys are all under five years old. I think they can be trained and used by our army."

Children do have a great influence on women.

If a native female prisoner with a child is separated from the child, even if she is with a Kui tribe man, she may escape in search of the child.

But if you bring the child with you, she will quickly integrate into the new family.In the future, when the children of the Yibu men are born, they will truly integrate into the Yibu family.

Liu Sheng had approved this matter at the beginning, so there was no doubt about it.

Seeing that the female prisoners and children became more uneasy under his gaze, Liu Sheng withdrew his gaze and asked, "How exactly did you allocate these female prisoners and children?"

　Second more.

　　Good night~
