Chapter 341 The Bai Family Brothers and Sisters
Chapter 341 The Bai brother and sister
Zhao Erqianen thanked him and took away the reluctant little girl. When she waved goodbye to her, except for the little girl who was crying and raining, I felt really uncomfortable.
Although Zhao Xingyue is the royal princess, she is so innocent, naughty and cute, which has left a deep impression on me.
If it is possible, I naturally want to take the little girl home and be with her every day.
But at this time, there are more important things to do. Master and Uncle Lauren have said that before the hardship is over, don’t be too addicted to the affair of children, so you can only relax and wait until you meet Zhao Xingyue again next year.
The huge convoy drove all the way, and we finally arrived at the inn outside Chengdu Prefecture when it was dark.
The Yi people in the south of Chengdu Prefecture, so for the convenience of leaving later, our current location is to be close to the inn to the south.
Cao Que went back to Chengdu Prefecture two days ago and began to prepare for various matters in the southwest Yi tribe area. Because there were too many pragmatic things, he had to think very carefully, so it was not until today that everything was done.
The station is built very large, not luxurious, but it is also very sturdy and durable. Anyway, Chengdu is surrounded by plains and many open spaces, so you can do whatever you want to build buildings.
Because Cao Que arrived here, the post station was brightly lit and there were garrison troops everywhere. Like the garrison troops who were guarding us, they were all elite troops around Cao Que.
Standing at the gate of the station waiting for us was Cao Que in casual clothes. Behind him, several obviously men and women wearing different clothes from Central Plains were looking at us with concentration.
"Brother Cao!"
"Brother Shen! Brother Ba!"
While the three adults were greeting each other, Cao Ming pulled me to the side and said with a wink, "Xiaobao, don't say that I don't take care of you, brother, today I chose a beautiful and wild little leopard for you. If you are interested, when you leave the southwest Yi tribe, you will take her and take her back to your Xiayi Island."
Following his hint, I saw three or five meters away, three or five meters away, three or five meters away, two men were about thirty years old, wearing tight black clothes, barefoot and a round cloth hat, while the other woman was only seventeen or eighteen years old, not tall and barefoot, wearing beautiful red and black clothes, wearing several exquisite silverware, and her hair was shawl on her head, which looked very beautiful.
The most important thing is that the girl not only looks good with clothes and silver jewelry, but her people are more beautiful.
Her pink face is beautifully shaped, with slightly thick eyebrows, her eyelashes are as curled and long as a small fan, her eyes are bright and pure and full of a fiery breath, her nose is tall and tall, her small mouth is like a cherry, and her snow-white teeth are slightly exposed, which drives the corners of her mouth to rise, and the curve is very perfect.
Although the girl's skin was a little darker, not as white and soft as the beauties at home, her whole body was full of youthful vitality. Coupled with the short silver sheathed knife tied around the girl's waist, she seemed to be definitely not a delicate little woman, but a heroic woman.
Seeing me looking at her, the girl snorted coldly, but did not turn her head, but instead opened her eyes wide, with a hint of sting and disdain in her eyes.
interesting!
The little girl has a pretty bad temper.
I smiled and turned my eyes back and asked in a low voice: "Brother Ming, what are they?"
"The three are all from the Bai Miao people. The man on the left is Bai Zhaqing, and the one on the right is Bai Lilong. They are the big and second-headed leaders of the Mangbu tribe of the Bai Miao people. The girl in the middle is their sister, named Bai Luaner, but the most beautiful beauty in their place. It is said that because there are too many people proposing marriage, she is so annoyed that she comes to Chengdu Prefecture to do business with her brothers." Cao Ming said as he knows it.
"What business do they do?" I asked casually.
"It's not just some of their mountain delicacies, fur, silver jewelry, herbs, etc., except for some special things, the rest are not very valuable." Cao Ming shrugged.
"Then what are they buying?" I thought for a while.
"Salt, rice, cloth, food, clothing, food, clothing, etc., almost everything is bought." Cao Ming said, "The Yi people in the southwest are so poor. Almost every year is a famine. If it weren't for the food of our Sichuan Tianfu Kingdom to support them, they would probably have all perished in no time."
"Didn't the officials of the Song Dynasty just want to conquer the Yi tribes in the southwest? If they all die, wouldn't it be a great thing for you to enter the Yi tribes in the southwest?"
"Hehe, Xiaobao, you don't know anything now." Cao Ming smiled, "I didn't know before, and I thought the bigger the territory, the better. But now we have discovered that these places are really too poor and too dangerous. If we give them to us, we won't want them! Sichuan, which is the country of Tianfu, is enough. Why do we still increase the burden on ourselves? If we collect the Yi tribes in the southwest, we have to help the people here. So what should we do if we transport Bianliang and military rations to the northwest?"
I nodded.
It's true.
Compared with Bianliang and the northwest, the Yi people in the southwest can only be considered useless and has little effect. Instead, it will greatly involve Sichuan's manpower and material resources, which is not worth the loss.
"And this is not bad," Cao Ming continued, "We want precious herbs and other things from the Yi tribe in the southwest. We don't have to pick them in person, they will come to our door, and the price is not expensive."
Of course, the price is not expensive if people from the origin deliver it to their homes.
It was like when we sold things to travelers. We knew we could sell very expensive fur, but because we needed the things they sold more, we could only sell them at a low price, and the travelers were cheap.
The people of the Yi tribe in the southwest face similar businessmen. The merchants in the Song Dynasty were also very cunning. No one would sympathize with the barbarians and would only keep lowering the prices. In this regard, they could open a few shops in Chengdu to do business. The price they gave when they met customers was much better than asking merchants to buy.
Because of this, they had to agree to Cao Que's request and lead us through the entire southwestern Yi tribe area and risked all kinds of dangers to Qinzhou.
If the mission is not completed, then all the hundreds of tribe members of the Mangbu tribe who stayed in Chengdu Prefecture will be beheaded and made public. Moreover, Cao Que will issue a hunting order. As long as one of their Mangbu tribe heads to Chengdu Prefecture, he will receive a reward. I believe that by then, there will be thousands of Southwest Yi people who are willing to receive these rewards.
Cao Que is naturally not an idiot. He will only drive people not to give benefits. Therefore, although it is definitely a heavy punishment if it fails to complete, there will be a heavy reward if it is completed.
Once the task is confirmed to be completed, Cao Que will allow them to open shops in the top ten towns in Jiannan West Road and receive official protection.
In this way, the income of the Mangbu tribe will increase at least three times, which is definitely a big temptation for them who are used to being poor and suffering.
The key is that this matter was enriched by Cao Que himself. If it is done well, it will form a good relationship with the appeaser, which will be of great benefit to their future development in Sichuan.
However, the little girl cannot understand this meaning because the two leaders can understand it much. No wonder she looks at me with this expression.
But I was originally from the Essential Island where the strong prey on the weak, and there was no use of etiquette, righteousness, integrity and shame. Therefore, I admire such a straightforward girl.
Cao Que quickly introduced the three of them to us and said seriously, "Brother Chen, brother Ba, the white leader promised me that with them, they would lead the way, and I would arrive in Qinzhou in ten days. Three days ago, I notified the pacifier of Guangnan West Road and the prefect of Qinzhou in the form of an urgent letter of eight hundred miles. They would wait for you with carriages at the exit of the Yi tribe in the southwest."
"Thank you Brother Cao!" Chen Han and Ba Ye thanked him sincerely.
Cao Que thought so thoughtfully. Even if he wanted to curry favor with us, he was very beautiful in his work and had a sincere attitude, so his master must accept this love.
"Haha, Xiao Ming told Xiaobao before that next time Brother Chen and Brother Ba, you will definitely notify him when you come to Bianliang, and the same is true for me." Cao Que said with a smile, "We didn't have a good time this time. Next time I'll go to your 'Mengqiu Tower' to bother you. I have never had a 3,888 taels of gold banquet!"
"Okay! As long as Brother Cao has time, I will invite Brother Cao then!" Ba Ye said with a hearty smile.
After a smile of his head, Cao Que turned to the three Bai Miao people, "Three, I will hand over Brother Chen, Brother Ba and all my family members to you. I, Cao Que, keep my word. After I met the task, my promise will never fail!"
Cao Que only mentioned the reward for achieving the task, and did not say the punishment for not completing the task, but all three of them clearly understood that even the appeaser had to please the characters. If something happened, it would definitely be worthy of him to flatten the entire Mumbu tribe. Such a result would not be questioned at all.
So, Bai Zaqing and Bai Lilong also responded seriously, "Don't worry, unless we die, you will never have any trouble!"
“So great!”
Cao Que laughed, "Then everyone, let's go to the inn to have a meal and rest first. We will have to rush to the road early tomorrow morning!"
Chapter completed!
