Chapter 527 Different
Li people
The 100,000 imperial troops led by General Dong of the Dong Kingdom and the coalition forces of King Xie Zhancheng fought to the death in the south.
The Li people lived in the deep mountains and were not affected much.
They had just finished an important event today, and the chief was talking to his cousin.
He only heard his cousin happily say, "His second uncle and Xianfeng Alice have already established a foothold in Pingzhou."
"Yes." The chief replied.
This year they have a good harvest of sugarcane.
When the sugarcane could be cut, their tribesmen came back and brought back the methods of boiling brown sugar and white sugar.
Now, with the efforts of the whole tribe, most of their sugarcane has been boiled into sugar. The seeds for next year have also been kept.
All this sugar is supplied to Pingzhou.
Pingzhou did not treat the Li people unfairly, and sent them a ship of daily necessities and medicines through the large ships of the Cao Gang. Half of the boat was used by Pingzhou to trade brown sugar and white sugar with them, and the other half was bought by Xue Xu and other Li people for their tribesmen.
"This sugar cane is really a good thing, it tastes sweet, and the children in the tribe love it."
The chief thought, how can you not like such sweet sugar cane? Even the old man with bad teeth would cut the sugar cane into finger-sized pieces and chew it slowly.
"It's a pity that we got a little less seeds this year, and we didn't plant much."
The chief replied, "There's nothing we can do about it. Let's breed it for two years, and we can have large tracts of sugar cane forests."
The chief's cousin nodded.
"Let's distribute the remaining brown sugar. Give a little to each household. Give more to the families with pregnant women."
"What? There's still brown sugar left?" The chief's cousin was shocked. "Does Pingzhou not accept brown sugar?"
The chief rolled his eyes at him. "Can't you think of something better? This is what Pingzhou left for us. It's said that women drink some brown sugar water when they have their menstrual period and after giving birth, which is good for women."
Ah Cheng made it clear that this sugar was not enough for Pingzhou to digest. Let them just grow sugarcane and don't care how much sugar they produce, Pingzhou will take it all.
The chief's cousin was surprised. "Pingzhou is really kind." Knowing that brown sugar is good, they specially left some for them.
The chief thought to himself, if it wasn't for this, he wouldn't have sent out another twenty boys at once this time. These are all good guys in their tribe.
At this time, Qin Sheng brought people and sent all the sugar into the cabin, and set sail smoothly.
With the help of the Cao Gang, they bypassed the Southland and did not attract Xie Zhan's attention. They successfully handed over a shipload of goods to the Li people. Then they took away the brown sugar and white sugar made by the Li people, as well as the young men of the Li people.
This time, they were ready to return.
Qin Sheng received the news and was going back.
As smart as Chen Jinlong and others, they were all speculating that the governor called them back. Would they go to war again in Pingzhou?
Zhang Cheng was the first group of teenagers who followed Xue Xu to leave the Li people and go to Liaodong County with Xian Feng and Alice.
He has traveled back and forth between Pingzhou and the Li people many times in the past two years. This time, his second uncle Xian Feng and Alice and others could not leave, so he led the team and brought a cousin back to help the tribe deal with these things.
At this time, he helped to move the goods and looked at the young men of the same tribe he brought this time.
This was their first time to go far away. On the boat, the twenty young men gathered together a little stiffly.
"A Shen, come here and meet the Sixth Master." Zhang Cheng greeted them.
Qin Sheng was the first to greet them, "Hello, everyone."
"Hello, Sixth Master."
"Welcome everyone to Pingzhou to show your skills."
The young men scratched their heads shyly and smiled.
Zhou Da, Zhu Dazhuang, Chen Jinlong, Lu Dayou and others looked at these new recruits and laughed.
"Sixth Master, aren't there new friends joining us? Should we have extra food today?" Zhou Da said secretly.
Qin Sheng laughed and scolded, "Get lost, if you want to go fishing, just say so, why are you using others as an excuse?" Everyone knows that this guy's fishing skills are not very good, but he still loves this, a typical person with a big addiction.
Zhou Da laughed and went to the cabin to get a fishing rod and called a boy he liked, "Come here, young man, brother will teach you how to fish."
After someone started, everyone rushed to fish.
Zhu Dazhuang, Lu Dayou and others are not bullying the newcomers. They use the old to guide the new, one by one, so that these young people can quickly integrate into the army.
Chen Jinlong quietly approached Qin Sheng, "Sixth Master, there are a few good seedlings among these young people."
He has taken a good look at them, "The one on the far left... and the one on the right of Lu Dayou... That's all we can see so far. Should we absorb these people into our Jintai Army?"
Qin Sheng thought for a while and said, "Let's follow the process." Give it a chance, and gold will always shine.
Pingzhou, Changli
Whoa——
With a shout, a carriage stopped not far from the city gate.
"We're in Changli, you can get off." The coachman said so.
While they were getting their luggage and getting off the carriage, the coachman briefly explained the rules of Pingzhou to them.
"When you enter the city, there are many hotels. Find out the prices before you move in."
"If the locals bully you, you can report to the authorities. Don't be afraid. This rarely happens. However, since you are new here, you can't bully people just because the people in Pingzhou are polite. Report it to the government, and the government will handle it impartially. It will also have a bad impact on you."
"After entering the city, if you don't want to stay in a hotel and want to rent a house, you can go to the brokerage. Well, the brokerage will also provide some information about jobs."
"The jobs provided by the brokerage are only suitable for ordinary people. Those with some talent can try to go to the government. We in Pingzhou have posted a recruitment list to recruit all kinds of talents. There is always one suitable for you among the 360 trades."
After the carriage stopped steadily, people got off one after another.
Guo Chong was the first to get off the carriage. He looked at the city gate with the words Changli engraved in the middle, and then walked towards the city gate with a simple bag on his back.
After entering the city, he looked at the streets that were extremely prosperous because of the upcoming New Year with sharp eyes. There were all kinds of shouting and hawking, and pedestrians were also slowly choosing their favorite products.
He hadn't seen such a prosperous scene for a long time.
He went north all the way, and the population was getting sparser and the scene was getting more and more depressed. It was not until he entered Youzhou that it got better, but it was not as good as Pingzhou.
This scene is very similar to the beginning of a prosperous era.
At the same time, he knew very well that Changli was now the center of Pingzhou, and it was different. It must be more prosperous than other towns. Just like Chang'an, no matter how chaotic it was outside, it was always different under the emperor's feet.
