The news of Hua Xi's arrival at Tiebi was quickly learned by Kunpeng, who quickly led dozens of Tiebi officials out of the city to greet Hua Xi. While Hua Xi was chatting with the slaves and farmers who were farming in the fields, he suddenly discovered what was ahead.
The dust was flying, and when I took a closer look, it turned out that it was Kunpeng and the others who were coming.
"Clan leader, why didn't you let anyone know when you came? You made me so embarrassed while waiting! Haha——" Kunpeng hadn't seen him for many days, and his demeanor was much more mature.
Hua Xi looked at the group of people around Kunpeng, who should be Kunpeng's management team, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, I was browsing the spring scenery in the fields and accidentally walked over here. It seems that you, the city lord, have done a good job. No
You failed to live up to your father Kunda’s recommendation!”
"Clan Leader Xie is exaggerating. Without the support of the clan leader, I, Kunpeng, am just a warrior who charges into battle!" Kunpeng quickly said with his hands in hand.
"Yes!" Hua Xi nodded, dismounted and walked to the horizon and shouted to the slaves who gathered around him: "Does anyone here speak the Chinese language of our tribe?" Hua Xi shouted in broken Getian dialect.
He said, no one answered for a long time, and he said that Ge Tianshi’s English was so poor that no one could understand him, so he shouted again in embarrassment.
The slaves of the Getian clan stared at Hua Xi as if they were aliens, as if they couldn't believe that Hua Xi could actually speak his hometown dialect. Although his speech was very lame, it still had some tone of his hometown dialect, so he could naturally speak it.
There was a hint of warmth. The slaves were silent for a while, and then one person raised his hand tremblingly.
"I, I will -" A young slave with a rather immature face mustered up the courage to speak loudly. Although his voice was a little trembling, the rocker stood much straighter than other slaves.
Hua Xi was overjoyed. Although the Chinese the slave spoke was quite poor like his own, it did not affect Hua Xi's ability to understand what he meant.
"Okay, what's your name?" Hua Xi said happily
"Back to the big boss, my name is Ganguo!" the childish-looking slave said loudly.
"Gang Guo?" Hua Xi suddenly smiled and smiled at the soldiers around him: "The others dispersed and brought this young man to the city. I have something to ask him!"
As soon as Hua Xi finished speaking, Ganguo's face suddenly turned gray. He thought Hua Xi was going to deal with him, and was so frightened that he was at a loss. Several slaves who were close to Gango gathered their courage, stood in front of Gango, and faced Hua Xi.
He bowed and said tremblingly: "O powerful leader, please forgive Ganguo, he is just a child!"
When Hua Xi heard this, he was surprised for a while, then he laughed and said: "Haha, you have misunderstood me. I won't do anything to him, let's go -" After that, Hua Xi got on his horse and walked directly towards the iron wall.
Riding a horse and galloping over
In a city lord's meeting hall in Iron Wall
Gang Guo's face was much paler than the others, his nose was big, and his eye sockets were sunken due to long-term malnutrition. There was a black glow in his eyes, and he stood in front of him like a mummy. His whole body was so thin.
Like a long cucumber, it makes people feel that a strong wind can blow it away
Hua Xi looked up and down the cucumber-like Ganguo, paying special attention to his hair. Ganguo's hair was different from other barbarians. It was actually neatly combed. He tied up his messy hair with some weeds made into straw ropes.
"Can you tell me about your tribe?" Hua Xi asked softly. Hua Xi didn't like to speak to people in a savior's tone. This would make the other person feel far away from her, causing confusion.
Thoughts of fear and caution
"Yes, I am the Yanghou clan from the Getian clan," Gan Guo said solemnly.
"Yanghou family?" Hua Xi said
"Yes, Yanghou clan" Gan Guo confirmed
"Last time you attacked our alliance, what was the relationship between the Ji Tong clan and your Yanghou clan?" Hua Xi asked with great interest.
"The Jitong clan has always been hostile to us, the Yanghou clan. They relied on their large numbers to bully our clan members at every turn. This time he sent troops, and as the commander-in-chief, he put our clan at the front of the army, hum——
"Speaking of Ji Tong's family, Gang Guo's pale face turned rosy, and he could tell he was very excited.
"Well, your Getian tribe, I heard that many tribes formed an alliance and became a couple. Who is that Nuwa empress?" Hua Xi has always been very curious about Nuwa, whom the Getian tribe worships and worships.
After all, the ancients and gods from the later generations of celebrities are always awe-inspiring.
"Back to the chief, Nuwa Empress is a deity worshiped by every clan in our tribe. According to reports from the older generation of tribesmen, Nuwa Empress is a deity to the north of our Getian tribe, very far away from us.
We have to walk through many, many, many sunsets before we can reach the many clans in our Getian clan. It is said that they all migrated from the north."
To the east of an angel tribe, in the far north? Could it be that Nuwa is in the north? Hearing this incredible news, Hua Xi's strong heart shook involuntarily again. If he could really meet this ancient figure in the history of Chinese mythology,
Then coming to this era is not in vain!
Feeling excited, Hua Xi asked Gan Guo some other questions carefully and then gave him a few Chinese coins. After the waiter took Gan Guo out of the hall, Kunpeng said: "Clan leader, this woman
Is Empress Wa a god or a human? According to what she has done, she seems to be very powerful! She has thousands of magical powers——"
"Haha, he is both a god and a human being!" Hua Xi said noncommittally.
"Ah, this——" Kunpeng looked at Hua Xi in confusion, trying to find the answer from Hua Xi. Unfortunately, Hua Xi did not talk about this topic again, but asked Kunpeng about the development of Tiebei during this period.
Not daring to neglect, he quickly took a brochure from his management team and explained the situation of the Iron Wall in detail. After finishing speaking, Kunpeng stood up and left his seat, and respectfully presented the brochure to Hua Xi for review.
After looking at it carefully, Hua Xi was very satisfied and said with a smile: "Well done, keep up the good work. Tiebi will not only become a town that mines ores, but it will also accumulate grain and build high walls just like the name Tiebi.
Let foreigners not dare to think of infringement when they see the iron wall, you know?"
"Yes!" Kunpeng said with cupped hands.
Hua Xi talked with Tiebi's leadership team in detail for a long time before leaving his seat and returning to Chinatown.
From Gang Guo's mouth, Hua Xi also learned the true thoughts of these slaves at this moment. They didn't have much opinion on where to live. They just asked themselves not to kill them, to have something to eat at the same time, and not to live in those turbulent days anymore.
Satisfied with this, after Kunpeng's good policy was issued, these slaves also specially learned Mandarin from some Chinese people. That is to say, although the Chinese is still poorly spoken, they can communicate slowly with each other.
Because of the policy, these more than 8,000 slaves were treated the same as the Chinese. Except for the restriction of personal freedom, everything else was equal. They also paid extra attention to the ownership and protection of private property during work, allowing them to feel the enthusiasm that they did not have in the original tribe.
, they feel that it is much better here than before. In the past, the property was publicly owned and collectively owned. Here, the surplus value earned every day belongs to them. How can this make them not overjoyed and work hard?
In the distance between Iron Wall and Chinatown, thanks to the work of more than 8,000 slaves, the land on both sides of the 14th Avenue was actually reclaimed, and much of the land was planted with crops, which were growing well.
Nowadays, due to the substantial increase in the production of salt, the price has dropped a lot, but the profits have gone up a level. Because of the decrease in price, more tribes have begun to buy salt in general. In the past, they did not dare to buy salt that was precious in the past because of its high price.
Purchased in large quantities, and did not dare to drink too much at one time when using
Naturally, Hua Xi would not take things lightly in the hugely profitable industry of selling salt. The method of making salt and the coast near Sunset Fort where large-scale salt production could be made, Hua Xi ordered people to patrol frequently to prevent this huge profit.
