From Chief to Ball

"What do you mean?"

"I want to swear to him that the goods passing through the mall between the two clans will never be subject to passing taxes. Do you think he can agree?"

"He definitely agrees. There are not many things we can exchange now, but this is not good for us. If this continues, Acorn's pottery kiln can only go to the wild people to exchange things. After a while, he Kneading pottery in a day is not as good as farming."

Chen Jian smiled and stretched out a finger and said, "Eyue will laugh now, and Eyue will cry in a year. Let Acorn temporarily stop the pottery kiln to help burn bricks, and you continue to exchange things from the Eyue tribe. Change whatever you want."

Yu Qian'er looked at the finger, nodded and smiled, of course she believed her brother's words, but we didn't figure out why we had to make an oath?

"By the way, these days when I'm away, you prepare enough food for 400 people for a month, fry the noodles, oil and salt, prepare herbs, repair those broken wheels, conscript the wild people again, and go to the coast Build a few wooden pagodas on the mountain and strengthen the Yangguan. Also, you miscalculated about cutting hay, and if you calculate more, you need to build some stables.”

Yu Qian'er stretched out her hand and said, "Give me the seal, this is something that Situ should take care of, I can't take care of it, the rules can't be messed up."

Chen Jian touched the seal and said, "Okay, from now until I come back, my younger sister will be Situ of Xiacheng. Situ Ji, are you ready for the manpower your brother will bring? Sihuo Ji, be ready!" Is there any food your brother wants to bring?"

"Report to the Lord of the City, Ji Xia, that I'm ready."

She put on a serious look on purpose, and spoke clearly. For a long time, the two brothers and sisters couldn't hold back anymore, and they looked at each other and laughed.

"Brother, when you came back, ask E Yue for a jade hairpin. I guard the public property, and I can't change it. If I exchange it with family property, all the sisters want it, so you secretly ask E Yue for one... ...Come back and lie to the sisters and say that it is...well, that it was given to me by Shujiu."

"It's easy to say, God knows, you know, I know, sisters definitely don't know."

Yu Qian'er giggled, took the seal and ran away.

In fact, she doesn't like jade hairpins very much, she just wants to use jade hairpins to tell herself that in her brother's heart, she is different from other sisters.

Although she is already a clerk, she is different, but she struggles to count those things every night and suffers from tired headaches, just to be a good clerk, because those digital goods can bring her closer to her brother.

But sometimes, she just wants to be a simple younger sister, because she feels that if other sisters can also count these things, they can also be storekeepers, so is it because of the numbers in her mind that her brother is close to her?Or is it just because she is the brother's favorite sister?

She can't figure it out, it seems the same, but it seems different, are those numbers in her mind part of herself?

However, at least the hairpin has nothing to do with the job of being a cargo carrier, it's just a younger sister's request to act like a baby to her elder brother.

I used to be able to lie on my brother's back and hold my brother's neck, but now that I have grown up, I know that is not good, so I have to use jade hairpins instead of physical intimacy.

After running a long distance, she habitually touched her shofar braid, and said to herself in a daze, "With the hairpin, where can I put it?"

Combing your hair is not only a change in hairstyle, but also a declaration that you have grown up. When a girl puts on a hairpin, she is actually telling the boys: Come, come and sing to me.

She didn't want to, her heart was in a mess, and she wanted to run back and tell her brother that she didn't want the hairpin anymore, but she ran a few steps but didn't think about what to replace it with.

After running like a headless fly for a while, I finally ran to the uncle who was repairing the wheel and said, "Uncle, make me a wooden box that can hold hairpins, and I will grow up when I want to grow up."

Chapter 5 Xia'e Crosstalk

Since he was going to the alliance, he didn't need to bring too many people. Chen Jian only brought fifty soldiers, and the wolf-skinned white horse and acorns all stayed in the city to prepare for any eventuality.

Considering the speed of news transmission, Chen Jian was not in a hurry, and was learning some vocabulary of the Eyue tribe with his tribe along the way.

The mall has not been fully built yet, and the two tribes left dozens of people and more than 100 slaves to build it there. The location of the alliance this time is the mall.

In the rudimentary shopping mall, the slaves were tamping the city walls, and several clansmen were enjoying the shade under the shade of a tree. Suddenly, there was a sound of horned deer's hooves in the distance, coming from the direction of E City.

Looking at the antlered deer, which obviously couldn't hold on anymore, several tribe members who had been scouts cursed dissatisfiedly: "Running like this will ruin the deer. Which tribe is this from? He is not worthy of riding!"

After approaching, the tribe was about to stop the man and teach him a lesson, letting him know that he should cherish his mount, but the rider pulled out two balls of flags from his arms.A sackcloth black and white bear on one side, and a silk biwing moth on the other.

The clansmen who were about to start scolding immediately retreated to the back. This is an emergency situation, and no one from the two clans can stop them.

The rider didn't stop the antler to stop, and jumped off the antler. The exhausted antler immediately lay down on the ground and gasped heavily.

"Change!"

He yelled loudly, and someone immediately pulled the horned deer out. Looking at the man's anxious face, they were all guessing what happened, feeling uneasy.But they can only guess about this kind of thing, and they can't ask casually, otherwise Ji Song will whip them mercilessly if they find out.

The rider directly took a jar of honey from the warehouse in the mall and drank it, grabbed a handful of salt, stuffed it in his mouth, jumped on the horned deer and galloped away.

When the rider finally saw Chen Jian, his thighs were already worn out, and when he jumped down and walked, he crossed his legs, as if there was a piece of wood sandwiched underneath.

"Ji Xia, something happened!"

"what happened?"

"E Yue asked me to tell you, go to the mall as soon as possible to discuss something."

The rider glanced at some unknown people around him, and called Chen Jian aside. Chen Jian said as calmly as possible: "Don't worry, speak slowly."

The rider swallowed hard, moistened his hoarse voice, and said in a low voice: "Eyue's younger brother took people to the northeast to capture slaves. The slaves rioted. His younger brother died and his body was shared. The 50 people who went with him Only three of the slave catchers ran back, their ears were cut off, and they were brought back under his brother...stuffed in the mouth of his head."

"How is it possible? A tribe of more than 50 people can't stop it at all?"

"His younger brother did a good job and caught too many slaves. He was attacked when he passed a settlement, and those slaves also resisted. It seems that the last attack was a small settlement of a large family in Beidi. Now some settlements in Beidi seem to be gathered together. I don’t want to be caught as a slave again.”

"Not the horse-riding tribe we met?"

"No, I asked. They are also yellow-skinned and have no horses. E Yue asked me to send you a message as soon as he found out. He was ready to go when I left. Do you want them to help send troops?"

Chen Jian nodded noncommittally and said: "You can go with me, I'm going to the mall, what a coincidence."

He lowered his head and pondered for a while, thinking that his younger brother was certainly sad when E Yue died, but with the strength of their tribe, they didn't need to help him to take revenge. It should be the same as his starting point, fearing that he would attack the city when he led the troops out.

From the perspective of Niujia Village, the cause of Eyue's brother's death has a great relationship with Chen Jian.

They are so eager to catch slaves, obviously because they have learned the Daitian method and intensive farming, and they want to reclaim enough land to try to grow wheat before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The astonishing amount of 150 jin per mu after the last harvest frightened the envoys of Echeng. Shujiu also came to see it with his own eyes. That's why their tribe is now anxiously preparing a large number of slaves for land reclamation, which eventually caused his brother's death. die.

There are many other impacts caused by this butterfly effect. For example, in order to store enough corn for the survival of new slaves, the corn for winemaking decreased, and the exchange price gradually increased; and in order to store enough wheat seeds, the price of wheat in exchange increased. The Eyue people who exchanged also prefer to ask for wheat instead of other things; opposite to the reduction of wine, in order to exchange for enough wheat grains, a large amount of black pottery was transported to Xiacheng at a cheaper price than before, resulting in the loss of pottery of acorns. The kiln is basically shut down...

When a city is connected with other cities and is no longer closed, every slight change affects the fate of the people in the two tribes: some people die, some people wake up after falling asleep due to the pressure of burning pottery, Someone took the risk to hunt and was bitten in exchange for the ever-increasing price of corn wine...

The era of the world in my eyes is over, and these changes are no longer under Chen Jian's control. The world in my eyes is getting bigger day by day, and what it will eventually become is beyond Chen Jian's prediction.

Along the way, Chen Jian was recalling the few words of Shujiu and his clansmen to infer E Yue's character. This was the second time he and E Yue met, and it was not on the battlefield after all, but it was not at a banquet either.

When they arrived at the mall, E Yue and the others had already arrived. They were not surprised that Chen Jian had come to the mall so early. On the way, they met messengers who came down by boat.

E Yue didn't have much pain on his face, and maintained the demeanor that a leader should have. Under Chen Jian's introduction, he met Wei Xi, chatted with each other, and recalled himself and Wei Xi's father During the days in Hwaseong, he didn't mention anything about Uncle Wei Xi, as if he had never seen him at all.

Arranging for the clansmen to prepare a room for Wei Xi to rest first, Chen Jian and E Yue walked into a room together. Their personal guards stood outside the door, and no one was allowed to enter.

"I heard about your brother, sorry."

"He just went to his ancestors first, no one can escape death, sooner or later."

"What do you think about Wei Xi?"
