Chapter 8 Harvest

"Prince!",

"Prince!" As the leader and guard leader of the caravan this time, Duoergan and Abatu led everyone to salute to Ulutus who had rushed over.

At this moment, most of the goods were still on the horse's back, and a lot of supplies were piled up in the newly established warehouse. Ulutus nodded to them and responded, so he rushed into the pile of supplies and checked the caravan's harvest with his own eyes.

"This is a purchase order, please check it out." Knowing that Ulutus was anxious, Duoergan immediately took out the purchase list from his arms and let it check it out.

After a quick glance, I not only had important food rations for winter - barley, wheat, corn, and expensive but essential tea on the grassland. There were also 120 kilograms of pig iron, which was equivalent to the weight of a lamb (about 20 kilograms). I also brought some seeds of crops, such as cotton, wheat, and a little vegetable seeds.

More than a dozen cubs of Mongolian scalpers were also bought as a supplement to the tribal carnivore structure. Moreover, these scalpers could also come in handy when developing basic agriculture.

In fact, when the fiefdom was assigned, Ulutus's tribe also had cows. However, when the caravan came back, all the nanny were sold by the nanny. The only few calves were killed because the nanny liked to eat tender beef.

This led to the fact that there was no cow in the tribe except sheep and horse.

"Very good, you did a good job!" Ulutus felt very satisfied after reading the first two pages.

"It is the honor of the villain to share the worries of the prince." Duoergan replied with a compliment. His original name was Yelugan, a Khitan, and later changed his Mongolian name - Duoergan. However, he did not live outside the wall, maintained nomadic customs and defected to the Mongols early.

But a businessman living in the ancient capital of the Jin Kingdom!

Because he lived in the Han area all year round, he had actually been sinicized. However, five years ago, Zhongdu was captured and the people in the city were abducted. Because Ulutus's cheap Laozi, Hesar, was one of the main forces in the capture of Zhongdu at that time, many people in Zhongdu became Hesar's tribes.

After being assigned, he became Ulutus's man.

"Well? Why are there people on this list?" When Ulutus continued to look down, he found that there were many more names on the list.

"Prince! Please forgive the villain for making decisions without authorization." Duoergan immediately apologized: "These people are craft slaves bought by the villain in the city." As he said that, he explained in detail to Ulutus why the number of craft slaves seemed a bit too high.

It turned out that Na Yan, who sold craft slaves, asked the caravan to buy all the slaves together, otherwise no one would be sold. Before leaving, Ulutus told Duoer to try his best to buy some craft slaves who are good at craft slaves, especially those who are good at scheming!

So in order to complete the task, Duoergan could only buy everyone together.

Ulutus counted the number of people, about 81. I heard that Nayan was a centurion. He followed the second prince to move to the emperor to be the King Xue army in his early years. Recently, he sent a message back from the west, saying that the centurion died on the battlefield.

Because the child was still young, the pillars of the family fell down. So in order to live, he followed Mongolian customs, his wife quickly remarried with her children.

Since the place where we were going to marry was far away from Heishan City, it was inconvenient to take the slaves on the road, so we sold all the slaves.

Fortunately, the price is not expensive. An adult male servant is only equivalent to an adult scalper. An adult female slave is only equivalent to a sheep. As for the elderly, they almost never live at that time. The children are simply given away for nothing.

Among these eighty-one people, there were two blacksmiths, one accountant, one painter and one musician. Duoer said that the centurion opened a blacksmith shop in the city. However, the business was not good, so this time his wife remarried and Suoxing closed the door.

The rest of the people were ordinary slaves. Half of them originally came from Mongolian tribes, while the others were mostly Jurchens, Khitans and Han people from the Jin Dynasty.

This surprised and delighted Ulutus!

You should know that other people can’t do farming skills except Han people. Ulutus originally thought about how to develop basic agriculture, but when he was sleepy, he gave him a pillow. With this group of Han people, at least those bought seeds will not worry about no one planting them.

Therefore, he had no intention of blaming Duoer for making his own decisions, but instead gave him the identity of a free citizen in public.

This is a big deal for Duoer!

Because the free people not only mean personal freedom, but also symbolize the improvement of social hierarchy. In the future, he will not be arrested as a fugitive slave if he leaves the tribe and goes elsewhere.

Of course, it is impossible to have true freedom in this era. Although he is already a free citizen, Ulutus can still kill Duoer at will without any punishment. Because he is the master of this fief and the king of the fief.

As long as there is no violation of the emperor's laws, no one in the tribe can disobey him.

At this time, Duoergan, who was promoted, cried with joy and kowtowed hard to express his gratitude and touching.

As for the idea of ​​leaving the tribe, he did not have it. After all, it is not impossible for the free people to be captured and sold as fugitive slaves. The grassland has always been preyed on the weak. Without relying on powerful forces, it is difficult for the lone wolf to live long.

After comforting Duoer, Ulutus rewarded other people in the caravan, including Abatu. Then he arranged the residence of the new slaves and asked Lao Wu to show them their health.

After all, these people bought them with money. If they don’t get any value out, they will die. It’s a huge waste.

When he returned to his residence, Ulutus' happy smile became bitter. Although this purchase gained a lot, he also paid a lot.

And there are only those who go out but not in!

All the money seized from the nanny was spent, and most of his savings were spent over the years. The value of gold coins, silver coins, copper coins, gold and silver utensils was equivalent to two thousand sheep, and there were antique calligraphy, paintings and decorative items that were not easy to measure, which emptied most of the tribe's family.

After all, he was an unpopular prince before, and he had no other source of income except for the salary he received by time.

Thinking of this, Ulutus' desire to make money became stronger.

At this time, Hunur came in with a cup of tea. Zhuo Ya was about to teach in the school during the day, and Hunur had the opportunity to serve him in close proximity. Hunur had no favoritism for the woman who always followed the prince with a stern face and sick woman.

Although Zhuo Ya has a stern face because she has become a teacher and has tried hard to pretend to be majestic, thus gradually forming a habit. But Hunur doesn't care about that much. They are competitors for this woman who distracts the prince's attention.

The experience of being a eunuch in the Jin Dynasty court and later being captured on the grassland and being humiliated was made to have a crazy obsession with living. It was not until he was arranged to serve Ulutus that he felt that he could play a role again.

Moreover, according to the current situation that Hunur observed, his master seemed to be the reincarnation of the immortal heaven and the rebirth of the Buddha. Anyway, he could no longer describe his master in terms of words he knew, and only felt that the gods could compete with him.

On the grassland, it is as rare as if you encounter a master who does not treat his tribes as livestock.
