31 Indigenous Mountain People

The autumn harvest is a very important matter, whether it is the Great Shang Dynasty or even the entire Fengyun Continent.

For Hei Shui City, it is a top priority.

Just like Ye Xuan, a lord who came to the territory, would choose a special day to set off, take office before the autumn comes, and then preside over the autumn harvest in the territory.

This is a symbol similar to grace, and it is also a favorable opportunity for the lord to win fame and favorability.

For the newly appointed Ye Xuan, this is the first autumn harvest he hosted.

Especially after the redistribution of the fields, it is a super event that cannot be lost not only for him, but also for the people of Hei Shui City.

Apply a fashionable slogan to the autumn harvest of the whole city!

Ye Xuanyuan thought he was going on stage to talk and cheer everyone up. Then the old and young men picked up their sleeves, waved their sickles, and started to harvest.

You only need to arrange the follow-up matters to ensure that all the food is distributed perfectly!

But early in the morning, Pei Qian asked himself for instructions, saying that he wanted to pull out the recruits who were training in the mine recruits camp and go to the town.

After Ye Xuan asked, he realized that the autumn harvest in Heishui City is not just a autumn harvest, but a scramble to harvest food with the adjacent mountain tribes.

If we look at it from the perspective of Heishui City, the mountain tribe is the real indigenous people in the local area. Before the establishment of Heishui City, the mountain tribe had already reproduced and thrived here.

There is a continuous mountain range northwest of Heishui City, which was called the Blue Mountains in the Great Shang Dynasty.

The east and west ends spanned thousands of miles, which can be said to be a natural barrier for the northern barbarians. If the latter wants to invade the Great Shang Dynasty, they must bypass this mountain range.

The mountain tribe has lived in this mountainous area at the easternmost part of the blue mountains for generations. It can be reached in half a day of running.

Ye Xuan immediately found the relevant information. For humans, the mountain tribe is also a group of alien races. Because they have lived in the mountains for generations, any mountain is like walking on flat ground, and they are born hunters of forests...

To put it mysteriously, as long as the mountain tribe is in the mountains, it is like being able to draw invisible power from the mountains. It may be too exaggerated to become a superman, but its strength is far superior to that of ordinary people.

Just imagine, if the mountain tribe comes to grab food, how could Heishui City agree?

In the past, Heishui City had sent troops to fight many times, fighting against the mountain tribe on the flat ground, both sides were half a dozen, but once they chased to the mountain, it would be considered God's eyes to be able to return one of the ten soldiers.

Both sides have their own advantages and disadvantages. Instead of losing both sides, it is better to reach a friendly agreement.

Every autumn harvest, Heishui City and the Shanyue tribe harvested grain from both sides of the fields until the harvest was completed. They all rely on their skills and could not conflict with each other during the process.

Ye Xuan naturally became interested in such a novelty and asked both sides casually what they had gained last year.

Pei Qian hesitated and looked embarrassed, pushing the mistakes unceremoniously on the head of the original city lord.

"The original city lord was only concerned about making money, so he would not care about such things. In the past, it was spontaneously organized by the people, and of course it was not as well-trained as the mountain tribe."

Ye Xuan also expected that the past two or three years will be a bumper year, and there will be a lot of land outside Heishui City, so there will definitely be no less food.

However, the entire Heishui City almost reached a grain shortage. Although there were city lords and big families who interfered with it, it must have a lot to do with the mountain tribe who could not compete for the harvest of grain.

"Six?" Ye Xuan asked with a gesture.

Pei Qian shook his head.

"That's Sanqi?" Ye Xuan said in surprise.

Pei Qian turned his head and looked into the distance, not daring to look at the city lord's eyes at all.

"Is it 28?" Ye Xuan seemed a little unbelievable.

"Pei Qian, there are more than 3,000 people in Heishui City. Even if only half of them can do it, there are still 1,500 people. The fields outside Heishui City are only 5 or 6,000 acres, and they can't receive 20% of the food?"

"Lord, this is not the case."

Pei Qian quickly explained, "We have an agreement with the Shanyue tribe. The number of people harvesting food each time cannot exceed one hundred."

"Uh, there is such a rule? It's interesting!"

The more Ye Xuan listened, the more interested he became, but the more he was confused: "But there are 100 of us, and they are 100 of them, why is the harvest difference between the two sides so big?"

"The City Lord doesn't know that all the people of the Shanyue tribe are soldiers, and they all sent out are powerful men of Kong Wu. One hundred of them ended up in the fate. When they were tired, they would change to another hundred people. At least three or four hundred people took turns to harvest, and they would never stop for several days and nights."

When Pei Qian talked about this, his whole expression changed, and he was both ashamed and angry.

"And our side, the young and strong are forcibly designated by the former city lord to mine, saying that they want to ensure the minerals every month. The big cities joined forces to demand fifty places, and the other fifty places were topped by the elderly, weak, women and children in the city."

Ye Xuan couldn't help but shook his head and sighed, "I'm not afraid of opponents who are like gods, but I'm afraid of teammates who are like pigs."

Autumn harvest is a major event. Heishui City and the mountain tribe competed for the harvest of food, and even asked all the young and strong to go to mining first. It was really a pity that the original city lord could think of it.

"Pei Qian, with this city lord here this year, Hei Shui City will definitely be a good harvest year. Don't worry!" Ye Xuan patted Pei Qian's shoulder, his eyebrows were full of confidence, and he said calmly.

"I firmly believe that the adults can definitely avenge their previous shame." Although Pei Qian didn't know where Ye Xuan came from, the other party's past performance gave him enough confidence.

Since the city lord said there was a way, there must be a way.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining 20 faith points from Pei Qian."

Ye Xuan glanced at Pei Qian with satisfaction, turned to look into the distance of the road, where there was a cloud of dust, and there were a large group of people coming.

As the other party approached, Ye Xuan gradually saw the appearance of the visitor.

This large group of people is very characteristic of mountain people. They are either weaving straw or leather. There are also some cloths. Although they are very few, the colors are very rich. They are interspersed with a little fancy and not too monotonous.

The Shanyue tribe has also come to Heishui City to trade before. It is not uncommon to own cloth products, but more of them are handmade products.

The skin of this group of people is basically healthy wheat, perhaps because the season is already in autumn and looks a little dry, but they seem to have applied something with oil, which looks shiny.

The leader was a woman with a bulging figure and a squinted back. She wore a white mask that looked gloomy and terrifying. She couldn't tell how she looked. She also had a cluster of colorful flower crowns on her head, which looked a bit like a forest queen in a fairy tale.

Ye Xuan discovered that the woman had the most cloth products on her body, and she was roughly a complete set of clothes. Although the original color could no longer be seen, it reflected her extraordinary status in the Shanyue Clan.

The two sides stood between about ten meters away. The woman's gaze of the mountain tribe first fell on Ye Xuan, but quickly moved away. After glanced left and right, she asked in confusion.
