This is the biggest gain that Luo Xuan and Lao Dao gained from this visit to Miaozhai.
As for Miss Akko... she can't even be counted as hugging grass and hunting rabbits.
She also has a nice voice and looks more youthful and beautiful. From Ake's body, one can feel a surge of vitality.
That's all... useless.
This time, Lang Lagu, the leader of the Miao village, lost both his troops and his generals. He lost Akoko and lost so many rubber saplings...
It hurts!
Muscle pain, heartache, waist and leg pain...
It hurts inside and out!
Therefore, while drinking at the banquet, Langlagu was always there forcing a smile and trying his best to cope.
"Leader Langlagu."
Luo Xuan became a bad guy.
Lao Dao naturally came out and acted as a good guy for once, "We are going to pull up the village and prepare to learn from you and vigorously develop rubber planting."
Langlagu said perfunctorily,
He said, "Oh, that's good. It's not easy for a rubber plantation to see benefits.
But once the rubber trees mature, the income will be relatively stable and long-lasting."
Lao Dao asked, "Our village plans to buy 10,000 rubber saplings from you, the leader. I wonder what you think, Leader Langlagu?"
Langlagu was shocked, "You, do you really want to buy so many rubber saplings?"
Lao Dao nodded, "Our forestry bureau nursery in Liao Lao County actually has rubber saplings... Unfortunately, transportation is not easy."
"And unfortunately, this time the flood destroyed a lot of the saplings in the forestry bureau's nursery."
Lao Dao explained, "So we can't gather such a large number of rubber saplings in a short while."
I heard that it can actually restore some blood.
A smile finally appeared on Langlagu's face, "Actually, my village can't produce that many 10,000 rubber saplings at once."
"How about this! I'll send someone to check how many saplings can be dug out of my village another day."
Lang Lagu has quite a bit of business acumen.
I saw that his arrangement was clear, "Lao Dao, where are you? Let's go to the forestry bureau's nursery to have a look.
Let's see how much we can get out there.
If you still can't get 10,000 saplings, I'll go to a few nearby villages to collect some saplings for you."
Langlagu laughed loudly, "After all, we will be relatives and allies from now on. How can I not help you with such a small favor?"
Lao Dao also laughed and said, "Okay! It's settled then! I will give you whatever price the Forestry Bureau's saplings sell for when the time comes."
Who makes us relatives and allies? If I don’t take care of you, leader Lang Lagu, in this kind of business, who will I take care of?"
Langlagu laughed heartily: "Hahaha, that's what I'm talking about."
Lao Dao looked like a thief: "Yes, let's take care of each other from now on, so that everyone can live a good life!"
Old fox!
Luo Xuan cursed secretly: They are all foxes living in the same ravine. What kind of chat is there between the two of you?
In his village, Langlagu had a respected position, and he was absolutely sure of his authority, and could be killed or killed.
Rubber saplings that grow naturally in the mountains are originally worthless.
The reason why rubber saplings are not valuable is actually mainly because of the inconvenient transportation.
Such a large quantity of rubber saplings can be transported to a distant place and sold at a good price.
The amount of manpower and material resources required is not a small amount.
Now Langlagu can turn rubber saplings all over the mountains and fields into colorful banknotes.
How could he not be happy?
But this guy Lao Dao actually makes more:
Because the rubber saplings cultivated by the Liao Lao County Forestry Bureau Nursery contain ‘strategic industry subsidies’ in them.
So these saplings,
The price sold to the mountain people is not high...it's almost symbolic, just a small fee.
So... not many mountain people are willing to purchase rubber sketches and plant them back.
sometimes,
It made the leaders of the Forestry Bureau jump into panic!
I wish I could give it to those cottages for free so they can develop their rubber plantations.
Maybe the leaders knew that "" even if it was given to them for free. Most people in the village would probably not take the saplings and go back to develop rubber plantations.
7 years!
It will take a full seven years for the rubber plantation to see results.
The average life expectancy of everyone is only about 45 years old...by the time they are able to take charge of the family.
Then take your children and wife to plant rubber?
Haven't seen any benefit yet.
I'm afraid I burped first...
Forefathers planted trees, and later generations enjoy the shade? People here don’t have that habit!
One generation only cares about the affairs of one generation, so why bother worrying about it.
The two leaders turned their hostility into friendship and formed a community of interests.
Next, both parties enjoyed themselves happily.
In a friendly and cordial atmosphere, a comprehensive competition was held where people competed for drinks, smoked, and boasted about their former glory.
Lao Dao said that he has lovers all over the place, within a 300-mile radius.
Langlagu boasted that he was fighting in all directions, which frightened countless villages and offered him the best and most beautiful girls from other villages.
In order to ask the leader of Langlagu to stop harming their village in the future...
The atmosphere at the scene was friendly and warm, but there was a bit too much saliva and the smoke was too thick.
The unique smell of that special cigarette made Luo Xuan choke and cough. He drank two bowls of wine in a hurry and excused himself from not having a good rest last night.
Then he ran out of the corridor.
I was preparing to find someone's house to rest for a while.
At this moment!
A tribesman hurriedly came to report: "Something bad has happened! Something bad has happened! A messenger came from the bottom of the mountain. He said yes, said yes..."
Langlagu was bragging vigorously, and he was drunk. How could he have the patience to listen to his tribesmen being so arrogant?
"puff--"
I saw him pulling out the dagger with his backhand, and a cold light flew towards the panicked messenger!
Only a "pop" sound was heard.
The gleaming dagger was inserted into the wooden pillar, and Langlagu shouted sharply, "Speak slowly! The eagle in the sky is always soaring no matter the rainy season or dry season... The sky can't fall down!"
The messenger was startled, and the black cloth on his head fell off.
He didn't even bother to close it,
He hurriedly replied, "The messenger sent from the Mengli Valley said that we should be in the village within three days.
Be sure to select 50 strong tribesmen and send them to the Mengli Valley to help dig."
"fart!"
Langlagu was furious, "Although my village is a big village, but if you have to select 50 young men... won't it become a world dominated by women?"
If something happens, what can I do to protect my people?"
The messenger continued to reply, "But...but they said that if you don't follow their orders, the leader...you..."
Lang Lagu's face darkened, "What's wrong with me?"
The reporting man Qiqi Ai Ai replied: "They said that if we don't follow their requirements.
From now on, you'd better not leave the village. Otherwise, your safety will not be guaranteed."
"Peng——"
The hookah in Lang Lagu's hand hit the dining table heavily.
Countless soup splashed, "That's too much to bully! When a full tiger takes a nap, the bobcat thinks it can climb on the tiger's head?"
"Well...."
The man who was injured by Luo Xuan was originally drunk and smoking, looking confused and staring, feeling numb and numb.
But when he came to his senses,
Suddenly he was so shocked that his body was full of alcohol and turned into cold sweat, "Chief... calm down! Compared with our village and Mengli Valley... uh,
It seems...we are the lynx."
Langlagu sat down slumped, "Yes. Those guys have good guns and cannons...and they are vicious...sigh."
Luo Xuan asked Lang Lagu, "Can't you report it to your county or province and ask them to make the decision for you?"
Lao Dao on the side shook his head, "This place is not as good as our Liao County. Whoever has the bigger fist here has the final say.
Whoever has more money and can give them big gifts will be looked after."
After saying that,
Lao Dao was filled with emotion: "It's better for us as the Celestial Empire! Although everyone in the village is not well off now.
But at least, there aren’t those guys who mine jade in the mountains and pan for gold in the rivers, running rampant and robbing people.”
Lao Dao smacked his lips, "It's a pity that I, the leader of the cottage, couldn't keep up with the situation. I still wanted to restore the glory of yesterday...
Hey, in the past two years, I have finally understood how difficult it is to have a safe and stable environment..."
"Let the people in the village seize the time to sharpen their swords and guns and replenish their ammunition."
Lang Lagu shook his head feebly, "Old Dao, I'm afraid it won't be convenient for me to leave the village at this time.
As for the rubber saplings promised to you, I will send someone to deliver them to you."
Lao Dao asked, "Aren't you worried about the safety of the tribesmen who sent the saplings?"
Langlagu sighed, "When sending saplings, I will arrange at least 100 tribesmen to form a large team.
Everyone loaded all the bullets and fired the firing pins of the muskets."
Langlagu said, "In the recent period, I don't think they will attack my village. After all, these guys are here for the labor force in the village."
"If my people suffer heavy casualties, even if 10 people die, they can kill one of those evil people in Mengli Valley.
For them, the gains outweigh the losses.”
Langlagu finally regained his decisive and fearless leadership attitude, "Besides, the Mengli Valley is too far away from here.
Even if they want to raid my stronghold, they will need a long time to prepare."
The injured man said bitterly: "Come on, come on! When the time comes, we will set up cannons and kill those evil wolves!"
Lao Dao pulled Luo Xuan aside,
He whispered in a low voice, "Don't talk too much about this matter.
Leader Langlagu is right, those demons are short of labor and want to come to various villages to threaten them."
"If they meet timid leaders, they can get a group of laborers.
But if you encounter some village leaders who are very tough and those demons, there is actually nothing they can do."
Lao Dao smiled slightly, "I'm afraid you still don't know the loyalty and fearless spirit of these mountain people."
The Shanzhai people here.
They have been born and raised here for generations.
In an environment with harsh natural conditions, it is difficult for an individual or a single family to withstand various survival risks.
therefore,
They can only live in groups and huddle together for warmth.
But as the old saying goes: a snake cannot survive without a head.
Therefore, every village has a leader.
And the tribesmen under the leader must be loyal to their leader no matter what they think about it!
if not,
Once a tribesman who is not loyal to the leader is driven out of the village, it is basically certain that his whole family will die miserably.
And if those people in the stockade die for the benefit of the stockade.
Then his wife, children, and children will naturally be raised by people from the village in the future.
therefore,
The loyalty of these mountain people... is beyond words!
What Lao Dao just meant was: Leave it alone!
Anyway, those guys from Mengli Valley came here to grab cheap labor.
If we really start a war with the villagers because of this, and kill or injure the young men on either side, it will be a loss-making business for Mengli Valley.
That's why those demons would attack the leaders of various cottages, threaten those leaders, and try to make them surrender.
"Our village doesn't have the ability to take care of this matter."
Lao Dao finally concluded, "Take my tribe and cross the border to fight with others? Believe it or not, the county, region, and even the province can deal with me in minutes?
Hehe, I still want to live a few more years and have a taste of making money and spending it on my own!"
Lao Dao gave Luo Xuan a look that said: You know.
Then he sat back at the table and continued to burn his cigarette, with a very indifferent expression on his face.
