Chief don't slap in the face

Chapter 338 Zhao Country's Trip
This is a busy autumn, but also a harvest season.

This year's weather is exceptionally good, with plenty of sunshine, no sudden warming and cold, and no floods or hailstorms. The weather is favorable, and all the tribes have ushered in a bumper harvest.

All kinds of crops in Taohuayuan are growing very well, especially the rice, which has an astonishing output. The production here alone is enough to feed everyone in Chaoge for two years.

After Xia Zhi and his party were exterminated, not only the tribe was overthrown, their supplies were plundered, but the surviving population also became Chaoge's slaves.

Just after this battle, Chaoge's population officially exceeded [-], and Xia Ye became a chief with a population of [-].

Xia Zhi and the others also ran farmland and planted crops. After the defeat, Xia Ye was all cheaper. However, although they had stored a large amount of food, next year, there would be no more.

Send people to farm?It's too far away, the loss outweighs the gain!

"That's why I want to keep them alive. They only collect taxes!"

Xia Ye sighed, why is it so difficult to be a good person?

The seeds contributed by Elena were also harvested. What surprised Xia Ye most was that there were potatoes and peppers in them. As for the tomatoes, he had already eaten them.

Since it was the first year, there were too few seeds, and the natural output was not much, so Xia Ye tasted it, and after a bit of addiction, all of them were kept as seeds.

Just wait for three years, and these crops will become popular, and ordinary people can eat them.

"This is the last batch!"

Xia Wa personally escorted the convoy and delivered the harvested grain: "Quickly check, I have to eat!"

"Don't worry, I'll tell the cook to make some for you!"

Elena joked.

"Don't bother, I'll just go to the cafeteria to eat!"

It doesn't matter to Xia Frog, even Chaoge's cafeteria food is delicious.

Crunch!Crunch!
Several carriages drove in, and there were wooden cages filled with chickens and ducks. Seeing this scene, Xia Wa felt a little distressed.

"Will all of these be sent to slaughter?"

Because he often comes to Chaoge, Xia Wa knows that what Chaoge lacks most is poultry.

"Most of them are males, and a small part are old hens that don't lay eggs very much. It's a waste of food to raise them, so they have to be eliminated!"

Elena explained with a smile on her face, she never imagined that there would be too many chickens and ducks that needed to be slaughtered and cleaned up.

This is clearly the prosperity of the prosperous age!

"Too extravagant!"

Xia Wa felt emotional and decided to add an extra chicken leg today.

"By the way, do you want to raise chickens?"

Elena remembered what Xia Ye explained.

"No, I don't have that much food!"

Xia Wa shook his head. Xia Ye said before that Chao Ge was responsible for providing the feed, but the journey was too far and it took too much manpower and material resources.

"You can use maggots to raise them. If you have time, go and learn from Lu Niang!"

Elena suggested.

"What does Xia Ye want?"

Xia Wa was startled, this is the untold secret of getting rich, and she will never hand it over to others easily!
"I don't want anything, it's just that the great chief sees that your tribe is developing too slowly, and wants to help you!"

Elena explained.

"Right!"

Xia Wa showed a self-deprecating wry smile, he was so poor, and there was no secret treasure worthy of Xia Ye's covetousness, no, there was still the same.

Looking at the leaving Xia Frog, Elena shook her head, this girl was too proud, Xia Ye thought she would take the initiative to ask about how to raise chickens, but who knew, one autumn was almost over, she didn't open her mouth in a daze.

"The Great Chief is so generous!"

"Yes, if it were me, I would definitely not be willing to give away the secret recipe!"

"This is the vision and pattern!"

The female executives have discussed this issue a long time ago. Generally speaking, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, because Xia Ye invented preserved eggs and salted duck eggs, which are two commodities that are easy to transport, so there is no need to worry about breaking them.

What Xia Ye wants to do is to be a producer and distributor, not just a seller of eggs, earning a large price difference, that's what it means to be happy.

When all the rice and millet were loaded into the granary, and late autumn was coming, Xia Ye finally took the caravan to Zhao's capital after Zhao Lianyu's third letter urging him to leave quickly was delivered.

After more than 20 days of trekking, Xia Ye stood at the gate of HD.

"It's so majestic!"

Friday raised his head, dumbfounded. HD's city wall was 21 meters high.

"If you want to capture this city, you will have to die a lot of people!"

Jia Duo gave her evaluation with her professional eyes.

The city gate is huge and wide, just like the mouth of an ancient giant beast!

A team of guards in bronze armor checked the passing pedestrians and carriages.

Because of the Harvest Festival, many foreigners have come to HD recently, so there is often a lot of traffic in front of the city gate, but the order is orderly.

Locals go through the small door on the right, while outsiders line up for inspection.

After waiting for half an hour, it was the Chaoge caravan's turn.

"When you enter the city, you have to pay a head tax. One dollar per head. If you bring goods, you will also be charged a commodity tax. Livestock must pay a mule tax!"

A very long and boring introduction.

Several professionals have gone to check it out.

"It's so dark!"

I'm not happy on Friday, I just entered a city, why should I give them money?He didn't forget that he had paid more than 1000 knives for the tolls alone.

Even if Chaoge had money, he couldn't waste it like this.

"I knew it a long time ago and I wouldn't come here. I don't have any affection for this HD."

Song Guo is angry.

"Hey, it's okay to be dissatisfied, just keep your complaints down!"

He scolded and stared at Friday, do you think I don't exist?And what the hell is this savage?Not a slave?Why does it look like a high-level caravan?And the tribal language is very slippery!

He looked at the caravan unobtrusively, the one wearing the blindfold was obviously the owner, but it didn't matter, he didn't wear the clan emblem, didn't hang the flag, it looked like it was from a small tribe, so don't worry, so you can ask for more taxes.

"Wait, what's going on with these alien women?"

Very long frown.

"Look, those two chicks have big breasts!"

"Yes, it's bigger than a papaya!"

"I really want to rub it!"

The guards muttered, and their eyes almost fell on Izumi and Rem, because they were not only beautiful, but also had big breasts.

"Boss, come and see!"

The guard in charge of inspecting the goods reported to the chief with a solemn face.

"what happened?"

Shi Chang sniffed and looked at Xia Ye, this person really has no EQ at all, it's this time, why don't you hurry up and stuff some red envelopes, because I want to accommodate you, there is no excuse.

"It's all unknown goods!"

The guard looked confused. Preserved eggs and salted duck eggs should be some kind of poultry eggs by name, but there were too many of them.

"How many years have you been saving? Just wait for the harvest festival to make a fortune?"

Looking at the several carriages covered with thick thatch and stuffed with poultry eggs, I was speechless. The number was at least several thousand.

"Soap?"

Shichang picked up another wooden box and wanted to open it, but Friday stopped him.

"Don't move at the end, it's for the nobleman!"

"My lord? How expensive is it?"

Shi Chang snorted, but he didn't act rashly, but walked to another carriage.

"There's blank paper inside!"

Guards report.

"Open!"

Very long order.

"They won't let it!"

The guard sneered, these bumpkins have never seen the market before, do you think you can avoid inspection by just saying their names?

"You regret it now, there is no hurry!"

Shi Chang entered the sentry post next to the city gate and went to report to the city defense officer. Soon, the city defense officer came out with drooping eyelids.

"Whose goods are you here?"

The city defense officer asked a question.

"Own!"

Answer Friday.

The city defense officer's face turned livid, he grabbed the whip from the guard's hand, and whipped it fiercely at Friday.

Swish!
Jia Duo drew his sword.

The whip was smashed.

"Enemy attack!"

Shi Chang immediately shouted, while the guards drew their bows and crossbows, unsheathed their knives and guns, and surrounded them. Even the ballista after the city gate refused to horse was aimed at Xia Ye and his party.

"How dare you draw your sword towards me!"

The city defense officer was furious.

"You did it first!"

Song Guo retorted.

"A savage deserves to talk to me? I didn't cut off his head on the spot, it's already very kind!"

The city defense officer felt that Xia Ye had humiliated him by letting a savage talk to him.

"Beheading? You can try!"

Xia Ye sneered.

"Hey, are you threatening our officer?"

Very happy, and sarcasm.

"You country bumpkins who don't know which small tribe you come from, look up and look with big dog eyes. This is HD, the capital of Zhao Kingdom, a big tribe with a population of one million!"

"Who do you say is dog eyes?"

Song Guo was very angry.

The female soldiers surrounded him, trying to protect Xia Ye, but he pushed him away.

At this time, the great chief will naturally stand up.

"Hey, you're so brave!"

The city defense officer and his party admire Xia Ye's courage.

Because of this unexpected conflict, many people gathered to watch, and the caravan behind was also blocked.

"It's not worth fighting around a savage, is it?"

"This kid is out of his mind!"

"Young is too young to know the severity."

The onlookers are not optimistic about Xia Ye, even if you have crossed the river and come to HD, you have to hold on.

"Okay, I don't bother to argue with you, take out fifty thousand dollars and go to the city, or get out!"

The city defense officer set out the price. He just asked 'Whose goods are these', which is a common slang term. The caravans of the big clans all know it. This caravan is a small tribe trying their luck and trying to make a fortune.

Every year, this kind of caravan is not uncommon, so he opened his mouth.

"Hiss, [-] knives, Chief Zhao is really dark!"

Not to mention the onlookers, even the guards felt that the officer's bite was too dark. This is not eating meat, but trying to swallow the other party whole.

"You Zhao's taxes are really heavy!"

Xia Ye laughed.

"If you can't pay, get out!"

The city defense officer folded his hands on his chest, taking time to rest, waiting for Xia Ye to beg him in a low voice.

"Inferior people are not worthy of entering the main city!"

In Shichang's tone, he was full of arrogance, there was no way, the surname was Zhao, that was confidence.

"Jia Duo, take the money and give it to him!"

Xia Ye didn't want to be watched, because it was useless to embarrass her.

"Humph!"

Jia Duo moved a box and threw it at the feet of Chief Zhao.
