On the fifth day after the envoy returned to China City, Bai Jiang and hundreds of people rushed to the north gate of China City two miles away. Bai Jiang, who had not been there for a long time, was surprised to see that in a high mountain tomb,
, I don’t know when a small building was built
In surprise, Bai Jiang asked a tribesman next to him who had escaped not long ago: "When was that thing on this mountain built? Is it used to house people?"
The clan members fearfully faced Bai Jiang's questioning gaze, shook their heads, and explained: "We didn't see a house here when we came last time, but it should be used by the clan leader to live in. Look, there's someone up there."
The tribesmen suddenly discovered that there seemed to be a figure dancing in the house on the mountain.
When Bai Jiang heard the shouts from the clansmen, he quickly raised his head and looked carefully. Sure enough, there seemed to be three or four people looking in his direction in the small wooden house.
"Hey, that house seems to be on fire!" Bai Jiang suddenly discovered that a thick smoke rose from the wooden house at some point, and it seemed to be getting thicker.
"Haha, they deserve it. It's better to burn them Chinese to death! This is my god's punishment for them!" Bai Ding, who had been holding back for a long time, shouted happily at this moment. Other tribesmen were also full of joy, and seemed to want to stop and look at those people.
The scene of the Chinese people on the mountain being burned to death in that wooden house
Most human beings are full of curiosity, and Bai Jiang is no exception. Seeing that we are almost arriving at Chinatown anyway, and his people are in high spirits now, he doesn't seem to be going against the crowd and joining this group of good people with great interest.
He looked up
After a cup of tea, Bai Jiang suddenly heard a commotion among the tribesmen around him, and some even shouted in terror. Just when Bai Jiang didn't know what happened, bursts of roars came from the direction of China City, and
There are signs of growing
"The cavalry is... the Chinese cavalry..." Some clan members who escaped last time screamed, and even had the idea of escape, but because of the authority of the clan leader, they did not dare to escape too blatantly.
The idea has already arisen, thinking that as soon as something goes wrong, I will immediately run away.
Observation tower, as early as when the envoys set out for the Baishi tribe, Hua Xi ordered people to build a lookout here. The location of the observation tower is very good, because the mountain is a little higher than the surrounding mountains, so it provides the observation tower with
A good visual environment because there are forests and hills a few miles outside the north gate.
The only place that can pass a large number of troops is a natural road under the mountain. Although other places can pass through to the north gate, the road is rugged and the mountain road is narrow, which is extremely inconvenient for large caravans and troops. Therefore, Hua Xi
An observation tower was set up here and the mountain was named 'Iwayama'
The observation tower on Yanshan Mountain is not only strong, but also has a good view. When the visibility is strong during the day, you can clearly see the situation at the edge of the forest two or three miles away. Hua Xi naturally uses the ancient method of burning beacon smoke, so
, when Bai Jiang and a group of hundreds of people were standing a few miles in front of the rock mountain, the North Gate soldiers in the China City noticed the rising smoke and quickly reported it to the Chief of the North Gate, who then rushed to the palace to report.
Condition
"Oh haha, the big leader has come all the way, I'm here to greet him!" Li Yuan, Hua Xi grabbed the reins on his horse and shouted with his hands raised.
"This, the patriarch of the Chinese clan is really clever, I admire him!" Although Bai Jiang didn't understand why the other party knew that he was coming, he knew what to say.
When Hua Xi heard this, he thought to himself: It seems that Mandarin and some texts have spread a lot among the high-level officials of various tribes. Hey, what a good sign! Hua Xi's thoughts turned quickly and he quickly replied: "This is not the place to talk.
How about we go back to the city first and I can have a chat with you, Chief Bai?"
"So good! So good!"
After that, the two of them each greeted their own people and walked towards Chinatown, chatting and laughing. When passing by Yanshan, Bai Jiang and other Baishi tribe members did not forget to take a few glances at the wooden house above their heads that was no longer smoking.
After returning to the city, Hua Xi told his tribe to invite the Baishi tribe to rest first and wait until tomorrow to discuss matters. Bai Jiang coming to China City in person meant that they were willing to give in and pay the price in exchange for the captives and the possible trade negotiations. He was more than happy.
Hua Xi and everyone who holds some means of production are sincerely happy about the visit of the Baishi tribe.
Firstly, they are proud and satisfied with the strength of their tribe; secondly, because the Baishi tribe has a large population, they are a big market. Think about how much money they earned from them every time they came to China City.
The Chinese coins were enough for them to be extremely happy, and they were ready to say that the Baishi people were their God of Wealth and a shortcut to getting rich.
In the early morning of the next day, Hua Xi had just finished breakfast when a guard from the palace came over and shouted: "The patriarch, the patriarch of the Baishi tribe, the elders and others are asking to see you!"
Hua Xi put down the tablecloth (animal skin) in her hand, thinking that these people couldn't bear it anymore, hehe!
Also dining with Hua Xi was Hua Yong. From a certain perspective, Hua Yong's status as a general was just an identity. In essence, he was more of Hua Xi's personal bodyguard. His reckless and fiery personality destined Hua Yong to
He can only be a strong charger, and he will be embarrassed in his big job.
After listening to the guard's report, Hua Yong muttered in a low voice: "Damn, it's so uneasy to even have breakfast!"
Hua Xi smiled, ignored Hua Yong's dissatisfaction, nodded, and nodded to the guard: "Pass!"
The guards responded, and not long after they retreated, Bai Jiang, Bai Ding, and several other distinguished Baishi tribesmen, a total of ten steps walked in. The moment Bai Jiang and others came in, Hua Xi and Hua Xi
Both Yong and Yong were shocked to see a captivating gaze directed at them from among the incoming crowd.
After greeting Bai Jiang and others, Hua Xi's wandering eyes suddenly stopped on a short and lean male barbarian. This man's figure was the kind of person who would be hard to find in a crowd. He was about the same height as an ordinary person.
, is about 1.7 meters tall, but the strength of the body can only be described as a monster. Is this a primitive man? He is simply a bodybuilder of later generations.
His bronze face was as sharp as a knife and an ax. Under the two thick eyebrows was a high bridge of nose and deeply sunken eye sockets. His black and white pupils shot out sharp cold light, and his arrogant and stern eyes seemed to have a kind of aura.
indifference to everything
Hua Xi was not the only one who was looking at this person, Hua Yong was also observing him carefully. Finally, Hua Yong felt his heart skip a beat because those eyes were staring at me coldly, as if there was a crazy murderous intent in his eyes.
The eyes are spinning, and they are about to shoot out.
As strong as Hua Yong, he has never seen such a terrifying look in his eyes. Even when he faced the recognized number one fierce general "Su He", he did not have such a terrifying feeling: This person obviously did not move at all, but as he followed
Wherever he glanced, the surrounding air seemed to be enveloped by cold air. The murderous aura that suddenly dropped to the freezing point surrounded him tightly. The blood in his body seemed to begin to gradually solidify, as if it had turned into an invisible noose.
People can't breathe and almost suffocate!
Hua Yong, who was fiery and refused to admit defeat, did not dare to shout anything at this moment. Cold sweat broke out from the foreheads of Hua Xi and Hua Yong drop by drop. The panic in Hua Xi's heart was even more indescribable. What kind of powerful momentum was this?
Ah, there were such shocking characters in the barbaric era?
The sensitive Bai Jiang also noticed the strange atmosphere in the room. After careful observation, he knew that it was the influence of the person behind him. Bai Jiang felt happy in his heart and secretly exclaimed: The bad luck of the past few days has just been let out a little now!
When Bai Jiang saw that there was no one in the room except Hua Xi, Hua Yong and a few waiters, he thought that he would rush in and make Hua Xi a serious problem, but if he killed him, he would not be able to do anything.
I hope to get out of Chinatown alive, but I still have to realize my lofty ideals by myself, so I gave up this tempting idea.
However, what Hua Xi is thinking about at the moment is different from that of Bai Jiang. Developing and growing the tribe is the only thing he can do in this barbaric society where there are no beauties, no Internet, and nothing else. But in the final analysis, the most important thing is to save his life.
So, after forcing himself to calm down, Hua Xi immediately whispered in the waiter's ear and asked him to go out and call hundreds to two hundred tribal warriors to protect him.
Seeing Hua Xi whispering in the waiter's ear for a while, after the waiter left, Bai Jiang said: "Mighty leader Hua, I was invited to come this time mainly to resolve the conflict between our two clans.
of!"
Hua Yong on the side cursed secretly: Barbaric people can even talk about contradictions, it’s like a crow has turned into a peacock!
Hua Xi smiled and said: "Okay, that's refreshing! Let's resolve these misunderstandings straight to the point."
………………
After three consecutive days of bargaining, which was similar to a street ruffian-style argument, both parties finally reached an agreement. Both parties were quite satisfied with the outcome of the discussion.
The Chinese tribe immediately released the detained Baishi tribesmen and Baichui and several other high-status tribesmen, and at the same time opened up the sale of food. Of course, Hua Xi would not let the other party exchange food so easily, and turned around and asked Hua An in the Chinese Code
A law was added: Any food trade with foreigners
Individual traders or collective operators must pay a 10% tax on the income from the transaction. The wool is sold on the sheep. Naturally, with this increased cost, the traders will naturally add the tax to the foreigners.
Just keep doing the business, keep the money, and someone will take the blame, so don’t worry.
As for the Baishi tribe, because they could resume the exchange of various items with the Chinese tribe, Baishi no longer blocked it. After several days of quarrels, they finally raised the price of tin mines. Although the increase was only 5%, in the final analysis, Baishi
It’s too easy to get
, if you can increase this 5%, the profit is still very considerable. Besides, the round trip between the two communities only takes about ** days, which is much better than traveling across mountains and rivers to trade with the Southern Alliance. Regardless of the items that can be exchanged,
Both variety and quality are better
Before Bai Jiang left, the two parties finally reached a consensus, that is, copper mines are much more difficult to mine than tin mines and are scarce; food and salt are too important. Bai Jiang proposed to Hua Xi that these three goods should be increased respectively.
Values with varying ranges from 5 to 10% do not have much different meanings
"Happy cooperation!" Bai Jiang reluctantly showed a smile at the north gate and thought to himself: Wait, it won't be long before this Chinatown is mine, Bai Jiang! Humph - looking away, the blurry figure disappeared.
Among the Baishi people in the mountains, Hua Xi still has not forgotten the powerful sense of oppression that the terrifying Baishi people can exude with just their eyes and body. How terrifying is his force?
