Chapter 102 Zhenxi Military City
If Ji Zhong and the others didn't come yet, these witches would have to go out and find ways to rob other tribes outside the Great Wall.
Ji Zhong smiled on his face. Although these witches looked fierce, they had already dealt with each other several times and were still easy to talk to.
The most important thing is that both sides are under the throne of Dongxuan Zhenren, so they become even more intimate!
"I guess you definitely don't have much food. This time I brought all the food, which is 100,000 kilograms!" Ji Zhong laughed.
These are all big trucks that can weigh 5,000 pounds.
Don’t think it’s exaggerating. In addition, in ancient times, there were large wooden flat carts that could pull more than thousands of kilograms.
Not to mention the Qinghua world where spiritual energy is full of and extremely powerful, even animals, mules and horses are much stronger than the modern world.
In fact, if the road is not good, even a large cart that can be pulled tens of thousands of pounds will be available.
Ji Zhong's trip took over twenty or thirty large trucks and brought more than 100,000 kilograms of grain. Even if some were consumed on the way, there would definitely be 100,000 kilograms of grain!
These Wuhu people were overjoyed and jumped out of the car one by one, unable to wait to help lift the car.
Even if the witches are big-bellied men, this 100,000 kilograms of food is enough for more than 700 witches to eat for a month or two!
Soon the grain was transported to the mining area. When they saw so much grain, all the witches were extremely happy: "There is so much grain for the people at the foot of the mountain!"
"The elder said that there is food if there is food..."
"Of course what the elder said is right!"
It's like a pig slaughter can't afford to eat pork.
Although Wuyuan people are good at shepherding and have a huge herd of hundreds of long-haired cattle, they rarely eat beef.
If you want to eat meat, you have to hunt most of the time.
Just a few hundred cows, if you rely on eating them, how many days can you eat them?
Therefore, Wuyuan people mainly rely on cow dairy products, such as cheese.
This is like a nomadic people in another world. Although there are many sheep, they still eat goat milk most of the time.
The food of the people at the foot of the mountain is not bad for them...
Moreover, whether it is the Huaniu Tai or the Wuhu people, they are used to being poor. It is very good to have a good meal, so how can you be picky about it?
Therefore, all the witches were very happy to see the food coming.
Even those Wuhu people have now integrated into it.
Although mining is very tiring, it is better than ever to be hungry every winter.
What else is there to be dissatisfied with being able to eat your stomach now?
They came to the newly built altar and sang and danced at the totem pole that was moved from the snow-capped mountains.
…………………………
"Let's go, we'll go back, we'll have to transport food next time!" Ji Zhong said.
Although there is a lot of food for 100,000 kilograms, it will not last for those witch-men with big belly.
Therefore, the food and grass should be transported several times more!
"Master, have all the food and grass been transported here?" Wu Tao asked.
"That's natural!"
"Since that's the case, I have a way to avoid the long journey! We can buy grain directly in Zhenxicheng and send it to you nearby!"
"Buy grain in Zhenxicheng? Zhenxicheng is in the border prefecture. The grain is transported inland. We still have to buy grain in Zhenxicheng?"
"I don't know anything about Zhenxicheng. Although Zhenxicheng is in a border state, the price of grain is not too expensive, and it is only three or five floors higher than our Yuning County.
We transported grain from Yuning County, and the shipping fee was not much cheaper..."
"Oh, this is really the case? Let's go and have a look!"
The Song Dynasty treated the army with generous salary, so the purchasing power of soldiers was extremely strong.
In addition, more than 100,000 border troops are stationed in this entire border prefecture, you can imagine how big the market is.
Especially when the witches attacked the border for two or three months, the border cities were closed and the materials were consumed greatly.
In addition, after a long winter consumption, it is urgent to supplement materials at this time. This makes the business of merchants selling materials more prosperous!
As one of the most important cities in the northwest border, Zhenxicheng is naturally very prosperous!
"I really didn't expect that the price of grain in Zhenxi City was less than twice as high as our Yuning County!"
Wu Tao smiled and said, "That's natural. In order to ensure the food and grass of the frontier army, the imperial court not only built a canal, but also went to Ganyuan.
Moreover, it was promulgated that all merchants could receive salt intake as long as they sell supplies here.
With the salt traction, you can go to the salt field to receive the corresponding salt as a reward, which will naturally attract businessmen all over the world to flock to it!
Once there are more merchants, there are more food and supplies, so the price will naturally be cheaper!"
After all, he was a person who had studied and had visited Xijing and other places. Wu Tao's knowledge was much higher than Ji Zhong.
A few days later, they had appeared in the west city of this town.
"Yes, I remember that canal was built in the Tang Dynasty in the previous dynasty?
I remember when I was on the road in winter, I also went to Ganyuan Mansion through the canal and then took the land route.
Fortunately, the Taoists from the Taoist Supervisors made the ice melting to keep the canal from freezing. Otherwise, the canal would have been frozen long ago in such a cold weather, so where could the boats still be able to take a boat?"
Ji Zhong was in a very good mood and started chatting with Wu Tao.
The grain price in Xicheng in this town was indeed cheaper than he expected. The grain price in Shaoqing Mansion was a string of money, which was about one tael of silver.
And in Zhenxicheng, it is only about two taels!
In fact, if we count off the freight and consumption along the way, the food price in Xicheng in this town is not much more expensive than that of transporting from Shaoqing Mansion to the Spiritless Land!
And more importantly, it saves nearly half of the time on the road.
Although they were able to transfer from the Liushui to the canal, all the way to Ganyuan Prefecture, the first half of the itinerary was waterways, which was not too hard.
But this can save a lot of time and energy!
In fact, many other merchants who smuggled grain and grass to go out of the frontier also set out in Zhenxicheng...
Ji Zhong was talking and laughing with Wu Tao, and suddenly a team of cavalry rushed over and surrounded the Ming brothers and their convoys carrying grain: "Stop, what are you doing?"
"June, we are all people. Buy some food and go back..." Wu Tao came forward with a smile on his face.
The head officer looked like Hanshuang: "The military government has an order that the frontier food and grass are only allowed to enter and not leave. You cheating merchants are actually thinking about buying grain in the city. Are you planning to starve us brothers to death?
It's just a matter of seeking death. Come on, arrest them all!
Wu Tao shouted loudly: "Mr. Jun is wronged, we don't know. Moreover, we haven't had time to buy it yet!"
Halfway through the conversation, I suddenly saw the officer dressed as a shopkeeper next to him.
He immediately recognized that this was the guy from a grain shop who had just asked about the price.
The guy stood up and pointed, "It's them, they just came to our store to buy food!"
Chapter completed!
