Traveling through the Prosperous Pastoral of Peasant Girls

Chapter 24 Disaster on Xiao Qiang
Chapter 25 Disaster caused Xiaoqiang

The stall owner, surnamed Wang, is in his 30s and usually earns one tael a day, but today he earns six taels. Of course he is very happy.In the evening, he took the cattle and sheep that he thought were delicious and went into the water, and chased him to the inn where Jin Yang was, and had to have a good drink with Jin Yang.During the day, when Jin Yang was busy cooking, Lao Huang bought two cows for him, one male and one female. Jin Yang thought it was good after seeing it. He estimated that when the shrimps and dried fish were sold out, the cows would be bought almost as well. up.So today, I let go of the amount of drinking with the two, and while drinking, I learned about the situation of border trade with Uncle Wang.

"This barter area is a good place for people with brains to make a fortune. Thousands of skins can be traded every day. The biggest profit is fur processing. Those fur traders transported the fur back and processed it in less than a month. Leather clothes are transported back and forth, and there are often two or three times the profit. Food and medicine are also the most profitable. For example, your crispy rice can double the profit when it arrives here, and it is easy to sell. Hey, the most People’s headache is that they don’t know when the war will start here, and if there is a war, the people of both countries will suffer.”

"Doesn't the emperor of the Northland have real power? Why let his subordinates go to war?"

"The Northland looks like a country, but it is divided into Qinglang Country, Xiaoyan Country, Moli Country, and Dongxiang Country. There are also many sporadic tribes working independently. Among them, Qinglang Country is the largest, followed by Xiaoyan Country and Dongxiang Country. , They obey the jurisdiction of the wolf master of the Qinglang Kingdom in name, but they are difficult to restrain in secret. Not only are they fighting against the Great Qing Dynasty, but they themselves are constantly conquests. If the Great Qing Kingdom invades, it is another matter, and they will form a common fight against the enemy of……."

He took a sip and continued: "A few days ago, it was rumored that the Little Yan Kingdom would come to thresh corn and hay. I don't know if it's true or not?"

"What is threshing grass?"

Lao Huang received: "Threshing grain and grass is to prepare rations for the winter. If the food and grass of the northerners are in short supply due to natural disasters, they will cross the border to rob, rob goods, and take people as slaves. This is the most heinous act of war. Some time ago The war between this year and this year was due to the invasion of the Qinglang Kingdom by the Qinglang Kingdom. The Daqing Kingdom was inhumane when it crossed the border and counterattacked. Burning, killing and looting are also evil. If you don’t teach them a lesson, they will not have a long memory. of!"

"Isn't that little Yan country far away from here? If they want to come, don't they have to pass through the territory of Qinglang country?"

Lao Wang drew a simple map on the table with his finger dipped in the wine and said: "The nearest place to them is less than a hundred miles away. This is where we are located. The land of Qinglang Kingdom is separated in the middle. Their cavalry You can ride a horse across the Qinglang country to kill them overnight, come here to rob for a day, and then go back overnight. If the Daqing country fights back later, you can only fight with the Qinglang country first, and the people of the Xiaoyan country retreat to the other side , usually you can’t hit it.”

"Uncle Wang, you are so risky to live here, aren't you afraid that they will kill you?"

"Why aren't you afraid? A few days ago, when the rumors were the tightest, your Aunt Wang and I almost ran away. People, it's just strange. If you earn more money, you won't be so afraid. Isn't there a saying,' The prosperity of the world is for profit, and the chaos of the world is for profit."

"It seems that it is easy to make a lot of money here, but danger also coexists with wealth!" He pointed to a thick and winding line to the east and said, "Uncle Wang, which country is on the other side of this line?"

"That's not a country anymore. It's an endless sea. The sea is only [-] miles away from us. It belongs to the Qinglang country and the Xiaoyan country. Standing on the top of the nearby mountain, you can You can see it. The port that belongs to Xiaoyan Kingdom is called Yawei Port, and it is a hundred miles away from Yajing Port. The vast number of national teachers have nothing to do with pirates. There is a mountain range to the east of us that belongs to the Daqing Kingdom. It is a trapezoidal peninsula that looks like a duck’s mouth protruding into the sea. It is called the Yazui Peninsula. We are in the trapezoidal shape. The root of the Yazui Peninsula. If you look at the sea from the ground of Daqing Kingdom, you will have to walk a hundred miles to the top of the trapezoid. Have you seen the boiled coarse salt and seafood they sell in the barter area? It's a specialty of the North Sea."

"Where is the nearest port in Daqingguo? Isn't it Liangshan Port?"

"It's Liangshan Port. It is said that the tip of the Yazui Peninsula has a port where boats can park, but most people can't find a way to enter. The peninsula is densely forested and the roads are winding. Only a few people who collect herbs can enter. It would be a pain in the ass to open up a road..."

Jin Yang thought to himself; leather garment processing, the style of leather garments these days is old, if Liu Tao used to design fashions that she liked in her spare time, what would happen to the leather garments she wanted to make? What kind of intermediate channel can't make a lot of money by directly exporting to the Northland?In addition, the refined processing of sea salt, the cultivation of vegetables to carry out the catering industry, and the long-distance trafficking of goods organized by the caravan, are [-] times more profitable than those in the small place of Goudong Village, catching fish and shrimp, and raising crayfish. To be able to get closer to the goal of being rich and invincible...

On the third day, two more dairy cows, one male and one female, were purchased. The cows were also pregnant with calves, and the business of Jinyang was still booming.

On the fourth day, the goods brought by Zhang Guo's caravan were processed, and the goods for the return journey were also fully purchased. It was time to bid farewell to Jin Yang and Lao Huang for the return journey.Jin Yang asked him to bring the six cows back to Goudong Village, while he waited until the goods were sold out and the cows were purchased before going back.

On the sixth day, the shrimps and dried fish were sold out, and the cows bought another eleven. When I planned to buy a few more and the ones I bought in advance to make up twenty, suddenly a disaster broke out, and the entire barter area collapsed overnight. The time was surrounded by officers and soldiers from the Northland.

They are the infantry of Xiaoyan Kingdom, there are about 3000 to [-] people. They abandoned their horses and sneaked in from the mountain pass next to Shuangzi Mountain to encircle them.For some reason, the sentinels of the beacon tower were not warned, and the accommodation in the barter area was surrounded, and all the merchants were driven out. Jin Yang and Lao Huang were close together, and some merchants resisted, and they They besieged and killed mercilessly, but they were afraid of incurring fierce revenge from the Daqing Kingdom, so they disarmed the officers and soldiers of the guard field and the officials of the tax department and released them back.

Lao Huang saw those little Yan warriors approaching like wolves and tigers with bleeding weapons. If he resisted unwisely, not only would it be useless, but his life would definitely be lost.The short knife used as self-defense was abandoned by Lao Huang, and was driven out of the inn along with other merchants, and then was thoroughly searched and put under surveillance.

The money of both of them was taken away, and the merchants were terrified and screamed for their lives. They were looking forward to the Daqing state-owned officers and soldiers coming to rescue them at this time, but they didn't see it after looking around. They were surrounded by enemy soldiers. The horse bandit village not far away has not been breached for the time being.Jin Yang, a former military fan, used to have a special account on a certain military website, and often published some opinions on ancient military affairs. He already had the rank of second lieutenant.Today they were captured by the officers and soldiers of the Northland, and they were able to see them up close.In fact, the cavalry of the Xiaoyan Kingdom had sent Dish Tan to Shuangzi Mountain for reconnaissance a long time ago, and they never saw that there would be a large number of troops from the Daqing Kingdom guarding here. Knives, although they still have bows and arrows, but because no one escapes and resists, they are useless at all.
