The gate opened, and a large crowd poured out of it.

The old man at the head arched his hand and said: "Old Decay Charle, he is the village chief here, I have seen Su Zhixing, please forgive me for being rude before." ”

"The village chief of Chale is polite, we were reckless and mistakenly killed the beast tamer in Guizhai, and I am willing to compensate for this. Su Shen replied.

Hearing the compensation, the old man's eyes immediately lit up: "I knew that Su Zhixing must be a good friend, quick, please come in." ”

Damn, why didn't you say this when you were facing the enemy before, but now you are excited when you hear that there is compensation.

The villagers have no knowledge, but no longer knowledgeable people also have their own eyes, the pursuit of interests is endless, the difference is only in what interests they value.

Su Shen was not in a hurry, while talking and chatting with Zarle, touching the bottom of this village, and observing everything around him.

The village is not big, called Leju Village.

The name is meaningful, but unfortunately it is not.

In terms of scale, the number of people in Leju Village does not exceed 300. In the open space in the center of the wall, there are two behemoths, which are also two superb beasts, and they are sitting on the ground in a daze bored at this moment.

After Su Shen inquired, he learned that there were a total of three fierce beasts here, and they didn't need to be fed by the villagers, so they went out to forage for food every day and then came back.

Su Shen was secretly surprised.

Breeding is the basic condition for taming animals, and the so-called dependence will obey you.

It has been a habit for thousands of years for people to control beasts by controlling food, but now, there are fierce beasts that can be controlled without domestication, and there are many things worth playing.

However, Su Shen also knew that this was a matter of the secret of the village, so it was not good to ask directly, so he only knocked on the side and said:

"Listening to what the village chief of Chale said just now, it seems that you and the bloodline nobles of Qinghe City are in a state of war?

Thalle replied: "Alas, it was caused by a transaction. Since Su Zhixing has come to this Hexi Forest, he should also know some of the situation in this forest. ”

Su Shen nodded: "I know a little." The terrain of Hexi Forest is complex, and there are many dangers inside. Not only are there fierce beasts to abuse, but there are also mysterious curses, and few people can enter it except for the natives and the undead. ”

"That's right! Su Zhixing can enter here

and slew the Holy ...... The fierce beast obviously has great ability. But most people don't. However, in this Hexi forest, it is rich in various resources. If they want to collect, they have to rely on us natives after all. ”

"That's right, besides, you are originally from Hexi, and the resources of Hexi should also be given to you, so how can outsiders say that they will be picked. Su Shen patted his ass and pointed to the point.

"That's it!" The old man immediately became excited: "So the resources of Hexi, what price we want to sell, we should have the final say, right?"

"That's nature. Su Shen already somewhat understood the beginning and end of the matter.

But that's not the case. The warrior commander next to him said indignantly: "The resource pricing power of the Hexi Jungle has always been in the hands of the bloodline nobles of Qinghe, and we can only sell it at whatever price they quote." A top-notch herb sells for a hundred gold taels outside, but they buy ours for one gold and one tael!"

"The price difference is so big?" Su Shen was also taken aback by the price difference.

At first, we didn't know the outside market, and we were deceived by them, and when we sold it, we sold it. But then I slowly found out, so I talked to them about raising the price, but they didn't agree. ”

"Then why don't you sell it to someone else?" asked Su Shen.

"I thought about it too. But Qinghe's business is controlled by them, and it is impossible to sell someone else!"

Coming out of the dense forest in Hexi, the nearest city is Qinghe. Those bloodline nobles directly controlled the trade in Qinghe City, from cargo ships, to docks, to shops, all under their control.

If the resources of the dense forests in the west of the river want to enter the Qinghe River, they must be controlled from the moment they get on the boat.

Without the permission of the bloodline nobles, their goods cannot be on the ship, and even if they are on the ship, they cannot get off the goods at the dock, and even if they are loaded, no merchant dares to accept their goods.

In the same way, the money from selling resources still needs to buy things, and these shops are also in the hands of the bloodline nobles. In other words, even if you solve all the previous problems, sell the goods, and get the money, you still can't buy anything.

Through this commercial monopoly, the villagers in Hexi were forced to sell their resources to them cheaply.

"Then you didn't go to other cities?"

"I've been there too. But I don't have a boat, and I have water in the river here

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Bandits. And the water bandits are also controlled by those bloodline nobles, and some are even directly their people. We once struggled to build a boat and transported some goods to sell to the cities downstream, but before we could get there, we were slaughtered by the bandits. The head was still sent by those bloodline nobles. ”

"It's really ruthless!" Su Shen was also slightly surprised.

The practice of those bloodline aristocrats is equivalent to controlling all sales channels and seeking high profits through channel monopoly, while as the owners and manufacturers of resources, they can only be exploited.

But even so, the stubborn villagers still did not give in easily. They farmed their own land, picked wild fruits, and hunted animal meat, thereby reducing their dependence on the outside world.

If you can control the channel, I can control the yield!

In this way, you can confront each other.

When commercial means are used to the extreme, and no one can help anyone, violent and bloody means are often staged.

The bloodline nobles were quite annoyed by the villagers' lack of cooperation.

They began to send people in and attack the villagers directly.

Although the curse of Hexi Lin is quite terrifying, the bloodline nobles have been operating here for many years, and they also know some about the situation in the Hexi Jungle and know some secrets about the curse.

They can't avoid the curse 100%, but some appropriate precautions can greatly reduce the probability of being cursed.

As long as you dare to die, it is still no problem to enter the dense forest.

This made the natural defenses of the dense forests in Hexi also wiped out most of them.

There have been two armed revolts against the bloodline nobles plundering their toiled wealth, but both of them have suffered miserable defeats and paid a heavy price in bloodshed.

Since they were in a wild place, no one would stand up for them.

As a result, the local villagers could only bow their heads and let the other party exploit them.

But that changed abruptly not so long ago.

All the villagers united again and launched a revolt against the bloodline nobles.

The reason why this is so is because they have acquired some kind of technology that can control the beast.
