Chapter 694: Trade
In a month, Galaxy City is almost finished! Even the central tower has been built to the third floor, and the renovation of the first and second floors is also underway. Even the rope ladder has entered the construction stage.
As for the use of water, there is no way to construct it yet, because Qian Rujun told them that the water must be built at the highest place.
This is too much of a test for a waterwheel.
As for things like motors, Qian Rujun didn't want to introduce them.
The interior of the Han Dynasty has not yet started to use motors, how can the grassland be used.
The highest technology can only be used from Jinmai City or Chang'an City, which is Qian Rujun's principle of doing things.
In the final analysis, Qian Rujun agrees with his black hair, yellow skin and black eyes.
And Qian Rujun also began to recruit new people.
It's very difficult to find new people nearby. Qian Rujun didn't believe that there was no one nearby.
In a place where a large number of military horses can't reach it, there must be people who are hiding.
Although the number of people is small, as long as there are places where humans can live, there will be people.
What's more, this place is plugged into the south of the Yangtze River and can live many people.
But the nomads in the vicinity have long been emptied by Qian Rujun.
Even if there is still a group of nomads in the south, they are a group, and they will not accept your recruitment, so they can only be beaten down and brainwashed.
Qian Rujun is ready to disband the army and let everyone start living their own lives.
At this stage, women and children can only be sent to the city to live a normal life.
If a man wants to enter the inner city, he must pursue a woman, and the owner of the inner city can only be a woman.
This is Qian Rujun to improve the status of grassland women.
Those who enter the inner city can be assigned a shop.
As for the little ones. was driven to the dormitory by Qian Rujun and established a dormitory school.
They had to learn herding, sheep shearing, some life skills for the grassland, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and literacy.
As for the characters, there is only Chinese.
Although it was good that everyone had become Qian Rujun's slaves, Qian Rujun found that the new grassland slaves now did not help to increase the number of points.
And it is also abnormal for a city to be controlled by Qian Rujun.
In this way, who is responsible for being bullied?
Qian Rujun will not bully those who belong to her.
Qian Rujun's anger came and went quickly, and now he is not very angry at the grassland people who slaughtered the people in the baggage camp in the past.
After all, that group of people is almost dead.
Surrendering in the grassland is a very, normal thing, whoever is strong can lead everyone.
Qian Rujun felt that the grassland people he led should be the most powerful.
What's more, she also represents the big man.
It's just that these steppe people, who don't know if they are well-informed, can they know that Xiongnu Shan Yu has been defeated by her emperor.
In the steppe, the so-called leaders are only doing the work of the leaders, and when they are the leaders, they enjoy the profits of the tribes that claim to them, which may be fifty percent, sixty percent, or one or two percent.
It depends on your relationship with the leader tribe, and the leader tribe's perception of you, so each tribe will want to have a good relationship with the leader tribe, which is the way of ruling the grassland.
Since the leader tribe has a lot of food, there will also be many steppe people who come to defect. They accept only the strongest clansmen.
Powerful steppe people, if they do not have a strong clan to rely on, tend to leave their tribe.
Only in the most powerful tribes can he get the most adequate food and the most adequate weapons.
Food, weapons, and at the same time an important reason why these tribes are strong or weak in the control of the steppe.
There is no way to raise strong warriors without extra horses, cows, and sheep, and without enough horses, cows, and sheep, the tribe may sink forever.
Therefore, the weak tribe always secretly wants to raise more, but it will always be discovered, but if the grassland leader tribe is weak.
They have a chance to turn the tables around.
Although the leader tribe is strong, they will also face the most battles, and the battles will kill people.
In addition to bowing down to the low, the grassland tribe actually has a lot of hatred hidden in their hearts, and the hatred must be lifted unless he becomes another leader. Or the leader tribe can give them more food.
If you want to get more food, you can only get it by following the leader tribe on a campaign.
Qian Rujun didn't want to use this method, this method was too laborious.
Her ideal method is to trade and trade in exchange for grain for these horses, cattle and sheep.
Although the violent methods did not seem to bring her any losses, it also made her add a lot of warriors.
But Qian Rujun knew that the news would always spread to more distant tribes. Even her subordinates, every time they raid the tribe, they always fight more and fight less, and the highest purpose is to reduce losses. But the news still flew out easily.
In the eyes of others, this is the most violent act, and few leaders of the tribe do it.
Although he really wanted to rob everyone, Qian Rujun's target was the living, and he was not a person with broken hands and feet, so one or two people from each tribe would always escape, and most of them would disappear into the vast desert and grassland.
But one or two people will always flee to other tribes and spread the news.
Tribes are fierce and cruel when facing powerful tribes, but they are often merciful when facing a weak person.
Because of a person, it is good for them. It is possible to increase the power of their clan rather than challenge the power of their clan.
In the same way, the existence of Metroidvania is the biggest challenge for them, and at the same time, it is also the best raiding point, and they are estimated to be full of malice towards this Metroidvania.
This is different from the role that Qian Rujun wants them to play in Metroidvania.
They can't live in such a beautiful city, so they will say, "Whatever city the steppe people live in, we will unite to defeat them and plunder." ”
They will use this excuse to get more support from people.
So when the construction of the city was half-completed, Qian Rujun began to pay attention to its defense.
She is also counting the time, and the longer the time comes, the more empty grasslands will slowly appear, and some people will reoccupy this side of the grassland.
When their strength is sufficient, they will attack the city, unless they think that the existence of the city is very necessary for them and very useful.
In Qian Rujun's mind, the city is actually a consumable, and if there is no blood transportation and circulation, it will be the same as the heart. If you stop flowing, you die.
So once the heart starts up, the blood can't stop.
There is no other way to do this than trade.
However, the steppe people of this era are actually not very good at business.
Most people are not in the habit of trading.
Self-sufficiency and robbery to fulfill the needs of one's own life are the most important for the grassland talents.
This era is very primitive in the early Han Dynasty.
Basically, during the Han Dynasty, most of them were still in the Neolithic Age. Even in the Han Dynasty jurisdiction, many people lived a life of slash-and-burn farming.
But the steppe people just have a very bad habit, if he can rob, he will not trade with you, after all, trade, even if it is barter, they have to pay, what they have, robbery is not necessary.
For them, the warriors of the tribe exist to harvest more cattle and sheep and protect the tribe. Failure to do so would be a failure of the tribal warriors.
Simple principles, but they have been used for thousands of years.
Qian Rujun wants to break this cycle, but he can only start from their habits.
"How long will it take for the central tower to be completed?" Qian Rujun asked the Xuetang Island student.
"Is the princess ready to bring the goods?"
"With my ability to carry, it is difficult to fill the tower in the middle of the cave.
Most of the goods are still obtained in the grasslands.
Therefore, it is still necessary to look at the hundreds of thousands of Huns, if there is anything to sell. Go and ask if you can make something that you can sell.
He could be exempted from servitude and make money by producing what he could sell.
Of course, because they are exempt from servitude, a part of the money they earn must be paid to us as the capital of the city, after all, they are our slaves, and it is already kind to let them have money to earn. ”
Qian Rujun sat on the tower, looked out into the distance, and said in his mouth.
"Okay, but do you want to let other people go out and rob again? After all, there is really a shortage of goods, and there are no outsiders to buy them, so we can't make money by relying on us, right?
"Isn't there a lot of air-dried meat? In the future, if you don't work, you can't get the meat, so people who don't want to do things for us have to go out to work. We will not be able to work for more than 100,000 people in the future. The grasslands around here need to be cultivated by farming, and let's see if we can get some people to do it! Even if they use the most primitive farming methods, this place can produce enough food. ”
"Isn't that a bit of a contradiction in that?"
"Whether it's a contradiction or not, we always want to get business in the city to start growing. With business, there will be outsiders who come to the city in order to provide material goods, and then change what they want. Now the people out there are too far away from us, and it's a little difficult to tie them up and do business with us. ”
Qian Rujun was in the wild, except for his own people, he only saw the vast grass.
The sky is vast and wild, and the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep. The cattle and sheep are still their own.
"Didn't the princess tell us, before we do business or open a hypermarket, we need to make an advertisement to others, when we opened the Chang'an Women's School, didn't the princess also invite the emperor, sent a lot of invitations to the past, let people come to see what kind of school the Chang'an Women's School is. ”
"No one can see it here, how to advertise, and let his subordinates go to the grassland tribe to advertise, naturally there are not many people sent, if there are too many, they just want to fight.
If there is no one of us, it will be in danger, and my ...... will be wasted Manpower. ”
For a moment, Ru Jun had the idea of saying the word "points". In an instant, she replaced it with human hands, after all, let these people live in the world, under his management, he can't care about their life or death, always have to pay, food and other supplies, their clothes are now warmer than before, can be worn, thick fur, speaking of their lost memories, but bought a stable life, although, the war will still die.
But there are a lot fewer people who died.
It is actually very difficult to live on the grassland, and every winter passes, many people die on the grassland, but most of the people who die are ordinary people, warriors, and most of them can survive.
Now these steppe warriors were not warriors in the past, but ordinary people.
Speaking of which, Qian Rujun has done great good deeds, which has made people die a lot less, and has also made many people full.
But she almost didn't grab the supplies of the grassland. The cattle and sheep are gone.
Without even lambs and calves, they will face a famine for a while in the future.
So Qian Rujun has already started to ask Jinmaicheng to send canned fish, as well as dried fish and other things.
In addition to that, she also sent some vegetables and fruits.
When the Huotou Army saw these things, his face was very surprised.
Even if they are in Dahan, they don't have the opportunity to eat these vegetables and fruits.
Moreover, these vegetables and fruits have been transported so far away, why are they so fresh? Could it be that the grasslands produce their own products? When did the grassland people start farming?
Seeing that Qian Rujun asked the grassland people to start farming, they felt very worried.
They are Han people, and the common people of the Han Dynasty will not understand the soil. Even though they are the fireheads, they still know a little bit of the field.
It's quite fertile, with a big river next to it, and there's no shortage of water.
The big rivers flow slowly here, so they can be diverted for irrigation.
Qian Rujun asked many grassland people to start digging channels along the terrain along the Han Dynasty.
They could see that the channel was going to connect the river in the end.
Their hearts were full of questions, but fortunately, they had questions, and they didn't dare to ask Qian Rujun for answers.
Qian Rujun hates lying very much.
If Huotoujun came to ask him, she would have to lie, and now it's like this, that is, hello, I'm good, everyone, they have questions, why should Qian Rujun answer them?
For a month, I don't know if the herdsmen of the grassland near the grass have noticed that the newly vacated land is slowly approaching this place.
Speaking of which, Qian Rujun has already left the grassland they have looted, and there is a distance of thousands of miles.
On the eastern side of Yinshan Mountain, she only defeated a few, large tribes, and many people scattered on this grassland.
How to attract them to trade instead of robbing is Qian Rujun's biggest headache.
"How about we let people go out to do business, after all, so many people always have to make them find things to do?"
"I want them to return to being pastoralists. Or farming. ”
"There is no trading or looting, how can they let the cattle and sheep they find to continue grazing?"
