Chapter Eighty-Four: Xidu is on Fire!【Ask for Recommendation Votes!】

When the spring breeze blows through the land of Xiguo, the surface of the wide Yingshui River thaws, the flowing water is noisy, and people can still hear the coquettish sound when walking by the river.

It's the cry of a youkai.

However, no one was afraid, but felt comfortable, the red squid returned from the Yunmeng Great Lake, they are the messenger of spring, indicating that the footsteps of spring are getting closer and closer.

The snow and ice were melting, and there was a ticking sound everywhere, and the whole Hee was wet because of it.

Yao Yun is in a very good mood, as long as he waits until spring comes, the task released by Huangshi Tianshu will come to an end.

Today's slaves in Xidu are much better than in previous years, most of the middle-aged slaves have work to do, there is enough food to eat, women and children have also arranged the work of weaving clothes and raccoon clothes, and a few young and old people have done some chores.

So far, no one has starved to death, but two people have fallen ill and have not survived the winter, and overall the task has been completed quite well.

If you want to come to Huangshi Tianshu, you won't be stingy.

In this way, he waited for the official arrival of spring day by day, but Yao Yun waited left and right, did not wait for the official arrival of spring, did not wait for the reward of Huangshi Tianshu, but waited for a large number of caravans.

Yes, caravans from the vassal states around the country.

In the past, caravans would wait until the winter was completely over and the spring flowers were in full bloom before they came to Xidu to trade and exchange ideas, but today it was nearly a month ahead of schedule.

Before the snow had melted and the roads were not in good condition, a large number of caravans came.

The wind and dust are in the dust, and the eyes are full of greed and madness.

This scene directly frightened the guards of Xidu, and they attacked the caravan as an enemy army, making the whole city nervous.

"Where are you?" asked the defender in a loud voice, closing the gates.

"We're a caravan from Izumo Province, you don't remember us, we're old acquaintances. ”

"Hey, boss, it seems that it's really the Izumo caravan, that's the head of the caravan, Brother Dao, why did their caravan come so early today!"

Without waiting for the Xidu guards to ask, the Izumo caravan captain Brother Dao shouted loudly:

"We're going to buy salt, alabaster salt!"

The Xidu armor soldiers looked at each other, but before they could recover, another caravan appeared in the distance, and one of them rode a fast horse galloping over, shouting loudly: "We also buy salt, snowflake refined salt, we have brought a generous gift, I hope the brother will be a Xiyun man!"

The face of the Izumo caravan's sword brother immediately collapsed, and his expression was solemn, looking a little anxious.

Last year, Brother Dao was ruthless, and took advantage of the fact that the heavy snow did not fall and pulled a large amount of grain to Xidu in exchange for snowflake refined salt.

But who would have thought that after he presented the snowflake white salt to the Yunwang Palace, he immediately received the attention of the palace steward and praised it greatly.

This is not over, a few days later, the monarch of Izumo Province invited the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs to a banquet, and took out snowflake white salt, and for a while, the big people in the hall were amazed.

Such a delicate, white, crystal-clear refined salt is simply unheard of, and the high-ranking scholars and doctors are full of praise.

The monarch of Izumo Province did not expect such a scene, and in the face of the beautiful words of the courtiers, the monarch called a man with face and a good mood.

For this reason, Brother Dao was also very honored to be personally received by the monarch, received praise, was promoted and raised, and the scenery was unmatched for a while.

After the banquet, the name of the snowflake salt was spread out of the cloud country, and it was sought after by countless nobles, in addition to the snowflake salt dedicated to the monarch, the price of the remaining snowflake salt was also rising, and a lot of money was made.

Brother Dao's heart was excited, the whole person glowed with a second spring, his cultivation talent was mediocre, he was over half a hundred years old before he relied on the blood of the fierce beast to become a qi refiner, originally he didn't have any pursuits, he just wanted to discuss life and earn some savings to live.

But alabaster salt allowed him to find a way to get rich, and scarcity is expensive, and there is no doubt that alabaster salt is such a rarity.

Before spring officially came, he led a caravan to Xidu in the face of wind and snow.

Originally, Brother Dao thought that he would be able to take the lead, after all, it is not easy to walk on the road now, the hungry beasts are fierce and tight, and when they see living things, their eyes are shining with greed, and it is very dangerous along the way.

But Brother Dao never expected that the other caravans were not slow to react at all.

Obviously, the caravans that bought alabaster salt last year had experiences similar to their own, and understood the great value of alabaster salt.

The world is bustling for profit, and it didn't take long for more and more caravans to arrive in Xidu.

The originally quiet and peaceful Xi Duton suddenly became lively, and countless merchants were looking for various relationships, just to see King Xi and buy snowflake refined salt.

Yao Yun was cultivating the "Ten Witch Heart Methods of Lingshan", impacting the Dacheng realm, and he didn't come forward to deal with it at the first time, but the second elder of the Wu Temple came forward.

When Yao Yun was out of cultivation, Xingye and Xiaocao rushed over.

"The king, the king, Xidu is on fire, completely on fire!"

Yao Yunhuo stood up, with a look of disbelief, how could it catch fire when the ice and snow melted, it was wet everywhere, so he took advantage of his face and asked:

"Where is the fire? How can it be on fire now, the flood is almost the same, is it an iron-making workshop?"

Thinking about the iron-making workshop, Yao Yun's heart was pinched, not because he was worried about the loss, but because he was worried about the safety of the craftsmen, these people were treasures and could not be lost.

Xingye was smart and responsive, and immediately shook his head and smiled: "King, it's not an iron-making workshop, it's the snowflake essence salt in Xidu, and many caravans have come to our Xidu a month in advance, and the reputation of high-quality well salt has been completely launched in the nearby vassal states." ”

Xiaocao answered: "Yes, King, now countless caravan leaders are kneeling down with generous gifts and begging for your reception!"

Yao Yun breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out to be a matter of fine well salt, he thought there was a fire, and he was worried about it.

"Okay, Lone knows, and orders the palace guards, all the people of the caravan are blocked outside, Lone doesn't want to see them at the moment. ”

Apricot leaves and grass were taken aback: "King, don't we sell salt to them?"

Yao Yun smiled: "Sell! Of course sell." ”

After speaking, Yao Yun strode out of the practice room, and just wanted to go to the witch temple to find Wu Tong and the bald dragon, but what he never expected was that one person and one dragon happened to come to the palace with their eyes in a daze.

Wu Tong's face was happy, his steps were light, and he didn't look old: "King, the snowflake essence salt is really popular, and many caravans have come to hear the wind, hahahaha, it's really lively outside!"

The bald dragon, who has always been cold to Yao Yun, is also proud: "Xidu has been built for more than ten years, and the caravan came back so early, hehe, this Xidu can be regarded as digging Baoshan." ”

When Yao Yun saw the two of them coming, he immediately asked the two of them to sit down, and then looked at the two of them with a calm face.

The bald dragon hurriedly spoke: "Shizi, a large number of caravan leaders are waiting behind the palace, just waiting for you to meet, hahaha, Shizi, Ben Long told you, you offer a ruthless price, Ben Long secretly inquired, snowflake essence salt is spread in the circle of nobles of the nearby princes, there is no market, we will send it!"

Wu Tong also sighed: "Yes, the king said that the value of snowflake essence salt was ten times that of ordinary salt, and the second master and the old man still didn't believe it, now we are all convinced, the king is really as wise as a torch, the king, how much do you think we should raise the price this time?"

Yao Yun shook his head: "Second Elder, Bald Dragon, don't worry, you two, we won't buy high-quality well salt for the time being, and even if we sell it, we won't quote directly." ”
