Chapter 160 158. Return (please subscribe for a monthly ticket)

Zhuge Liang heard about the fruit business in general and stopped listening because he believed that Huang Yueying would tell her, because he already had a plan in his heart.

What he wants to do is to open up the transportation road in this wild mountain.

There are not many craftsmen among the barbarians, so what he has to do is not easy.

…

Huang Yueying's discussion with the barbarian leaders lasted until dark.

Bonfires were lit in the camp, all kinds of animals and birds were taken care of, and fruits were served.

The freshly made fine salt is also sprinkled on the grilled meat slices, giving off bursts of salty aroma.

The drinks that were brought were also brought on board.

The atmosphere began to relax.

Huang Yueying couldn't change the cup, but it didn't stop her from enjoying the atmosphere, because it made her relax.

…

Early the next morning.

Qin Dian, Chen Yuyuan, Gao Yunling and others took the leaders of the barbarians to divide their factions.

Huang Yueying took a long nap and didn't get up until almost noon.

It seems that no one is willing to use force to resolve matters that can be resolved peacefully.

The prerequisite for not using weapons is actually that the benefits are sufficient.

With the advantage of salt profit and satisfying the barbarians' use of salt, the barbarians would not refuse.

Of course, the most important thing is that the gathered barbarian leaders saw the salt being made with their own eyes.

This poisonous stone in their mountains can really be made into salt!

No matter which tribe they are, their hearts are full of enthusiasm. They have temporarily put aside the conflicts and hatreds of the past and look forward to a better future.

"What A Chu has to do always seems so easy." Seeing Huang Yueying come out of the tent, Zhuge Liang sighed as he saw the situation in the camp.

"How can it be so easy?" Huang Yueying laughed, "Brother, have you forgotten the river of blood on the battlefield?"

"Light refers to the aspect of people's hearts." Zhuge Liang smiled and shook his head.

How could he forget what happened on the battlefield?

He will also never forget the tragic scene in the human world where bones are lying in the wild and the Si River has stopped flowing.

"What's the human heart?" Huang Yueying said with a smile, "You can only get it with sincerity."

Zhuge Liang nodded helplessly.

With sincerity and tens of thousands of benefits, the relationship became stronger.

"Little sir." Tan Dian came over with several more barbarian women.

Huang Yueying also saw Li and was a little surprised, "Old Tan."

"We are waiting for the barbarians. Thank you for your concern, sir." Qin Dian then turned sideways and gave up the position in the middle to a few good-looking tribesmen. "Seeing that there are no maids around the sir, I would like the sir to take in some of their sisters and take care of them."

It’s also a good idea to bring tea and water.”

Huang Yueying's eyes widened and she quickly refused, "You don't have to be polite, Mr. Tan. I have my own hands and feet, so I don't need anyone to take care of me."

She is not disabled, but she still needs someone to bring her tea and water? A warm bed?

The most important thing is...she knows that she is a woman! Why would she accept someone's maid?

"Ah?" Tan Dian was also stunned. It was just a gift of a few maids. How could it have anything to do with having hands and feet? Don't all Han people like spoiled wives and concubines?

"Anyway, thank you Mr. Tan for your kindness, but I'm not used to it." Huang Yueying refused again.

Qin Dian:……

Zhuge Liang laughed.

Although I thought it was funny, there was also helplessness in his eyes.

As "Huang Chu" gets older, more and more people will send girls to A Chu.

What should Achu do?

…

In the next two months, Huang Yueying became extremely busy.

He led the barbarians to repair mountain roads, build workshops, set up trading houses, purchase fruits... and cooperated with local officials to establish mutual markets.

During this period, she actually saw the wooden cow built by Zhuge, and was extremely surprised.

The appearance is similar to the record in Wuhou's biography, but the inside is more sophisticated than later generations speculated, perfectly solving the transportation problem in the wild mountains.

…

August, Xiangyang.

Liu Biao looked at the dried fruits, white porcelain canned fruits and fresh wild mountain fruits in front of him, and was very surprised.

"Jijiu said that besides making salt, he saw that the life of the barbarians was really not decent, so he gave them more time and gave them an extra way to survive."

The attendant, who took these things and hurried back to Xiangyang, answered Liu Biao, and then took out a letter from his arms.

Immediately, someone took it and handed it to Liu Biao.

Seeing this, Liu Biao read it patiently and sighed, "Ah Chu has completely stabilized Jingnan for me!"

The smile on his face was very satisfied, and he was sighing in his heart that Ah Chu had worked hard again.

A Chu's political ability is much better than others.

"Completely stable?" Kuai Yue asked curiously.

"Try this southern barbarian fruit." Liu Biao waved his hand and picked a lychee from a branch stuck in the soil with a smile.

Peel the shell, put it in your mouth, and nod with satisfaction, "This Li Zhi... I haven't eaten it for a long time. It's really sweet."

Since he took control of Jingzhou, he had not controlled several counties in the south in the first few years. Later, someone rebelled again and finally took these counties into his hands. Then came the barbarian rebellion.

It is almost impossible to eat fruits from the south.

Nowadays, Jingzhou is completely stable inside. In addition... he has taken control of Yuzhang County. What makes him even more happy is that Gan Ning also captured Chaisang there.

In other words, Jiangxia... is no longer the frontier bordering Jingzhou and Jiangdong.

In addition, Chu paper, books, crops were harvested twice a year... all kinds of good news came, making him overjoyed.

Kuai Yue also tasted the fruit, and then said with a smile, "This is a good idea. I'm afraid that from today on... Xiangyang City will have many new things."

"Yes, now we just have to wait and see what happens in the north."

…

Compared to Jingzhou, the north is indeed more chaotic.

In August, the main force of Yuan's army approached Guandu and set up camp along the sand, which was about dozens of miles wide from east to west. Cao Cao also set up camp to confront Yuan's army. Cao Cao's army was disadvantaged in several battles.

Yuan Shao was very satisfied with this.

The longer the war drags on, the worse it will be for Cao Cao.

Moreover, many people in the places controlled by Cao Cao began to rebel against Cao Cao and respond to Yuan Shao.

…

Late August.

A group of soldiers and horses came out of Manshan and headed towards Chu'an.

The barbarian leaders watched their soldiers and horses retreat with reluctance.

After nearly three months of getting along, they clearly knew that this young gentleman truly cared about them.

Be it salt production or fruit industry.

As soon as the mutual market opened, they relied on salt profits to exchange for a lot of food and materials and went up the mountain. The lives of the tribesmen were getting better day by day.

"Take care, sir!"

"Take care, sir!"

The barbarians shouted one after another.

However, Huang Yueying did not respond. She collected the letter in her hand, sat on the carriage, and rested.

During this time, she was too tired.

Not only did he send people to build salt-making workshops, he also established the Xinghan Trading Company to assist farmers and was responsible for trading fruits with the barbarians.
