733 The pride of the lord of Du
"By the way, those cows can pull their own carts, but be kind to them, they walk faster than horses, can you not let them be busy from morning to night, don't add too many carriages, those cows let them take turns to rest, you are good to them, they will be more motivated!"
The lord of the ancient city nodded again and again, thinking that when the ox cart came back next time, he could try to let a few more cows pull the cart by himself, if Ruyi's method was feasible, the number of ox carts would be controlled at about two hundred, and the cattle invited by Ruyi could also take turns to pull the cart, and at the same time, it could save so many people who drove the cart.
The few people who were abandoned by the oxen were also relieved, and they did not have to worry about the ox carts, and they could be put into other places where they needed manpower more.
What happened there Du City Lord also saw it, Jin Li next to him had not gone far, from his words could hear such obvious arrogance, look at his every move, although he is not very old, it is not rude, he must be a big merchant with a lot of money, and he is still used when he is ruyi, and he does not have that humility when he is Du City Lord.
City Lord Du was not disappointed at this moment because he was not as serious as Ruyi by Jin Li. Ruyi City has a population of more than one million, the cattle of Ruyi City can pull their own carts, the world is afraid that it can no longer find a city that can stand side by side with Ruyi City, as the city lord, the pride of the city lord Du does not need outsiders to compliment, to add icing on the cake.
"City Lord Du, do we really need to put these spirit herbs in our meat?
In the end, it is a woman who is happy and careful, and after such a while, the flowers and plants that Ruyi took out were roughly sorted out. Their so-called spirit grass accounted for about thirty percent of the total, and there was not a single one that they thought could not be used and discarded.
"Use, why don't you use it? Only a few people can use it to make medicine, and the effect will be weaker when put into the pot, but it can benefit more people, you can just master the dosage, and you still need people to come to me, it's up to you today, Sister Ruyi, they have made so many great contributions, they should be rewarded!"
There are still some words that Du City Lord didn't say because he was worried that there would be a negative impact, he wanted to tell these women not to worry about not having herbs in the future, giving Du City Lord the feeling that there were as many herbs in the mountains as there were weeds at his feet, as long as Ruyi went into the mountains to play around, could they still lack herbs?
Ruyi flew into the valley and first noticed that the two stewards sent by the city lord sat on a very comfortable chair like the eldest lord, and a small platform was built with stones next to it to put tea and cash boxes.
The ox carts in this valley can pass at will, and a gesture of Ruyi unintentionally saves the steward a lot of trouble. At present, only Ruyi City has ox carts, and all of them are bison and rhinoceros, which are not exactly the same as the cattle on the farmland.
As long as the carriage is loaded with stones, it will take the initiative to consciously go to the steward and give the money to buy the road respectfully. Ruyi was a little jealous, and she hadn't robbed so easily.
Five large copper coins don't seem like much, but the raindrops falling from the sky are the same, and you can see the depth when they are gathered together. The demand for stone among the people of Ruyi City is also quite strong, this is just the beginning, dozens of cars of stone have been sold, and the steward has already sold a hundred and ten large copper coins in the small box used to put money, as well as several silver ingots. If you collect money like this for many years, I believe that the steward's mouth will not be able to close happily.
"Rob, hand over all the money, these are stones cut out of ingots, sister will divide the money!"
The melodious sound of a silver bell echoed in this small valley. Ruyi City dares to say the word robbery so justifiably, and there is no second one besides Ruyi. When the steward heard about the robbery, he stood up on the ground, and there was no trace of panic in his expression, and without saying a word, he picked up the small box containing the money with both hands and greeted Ruyi.
"Sister Ruyi, the big copper coin was converted into silver and received a total of thirty-nine taels, you accept it, the two city lords have already confessed, and the money from selling stones is taken by Sister Ruyi!"
"Bimang, come and divide the money, how can this be, it turns out that the two city lords already know that we are going to divide the money?
Ruyi greeted Bimang and landed in the small box containing the money. The steward hasn't seen Ruyi and Bimang so closely!
Ruyi and Bimang tugged and flicked on the copper coins and silver ingots. The steward was carefully holding the box, and quietly approached, he not only saw the fine fluff on Ruyi's body very clearly this time, but even the small scales on Bimang's body could be counted, and he didn't dare to come out of the excited atmosphere, for fear of blowing Ruyi and Bimang away.
The steward gently retreated to his chair and sat down, holding the small box with both hands and not feeling tired at all, only happiness in his heart, as if in Ruyi City, outside of ingots, he was fortunate to be so close to Sister Ruyi, and there was Bimang. It's just that happiness is always so short-lived, and when you have had enough, you raise your head, and the face of the steward is less than a foot away.
"It's only such a little money, my sister is too little, I said robbery, why aren't you afraid that I don't know how to resist? Bimang goes, he doesn't fight with us, he doesn't play with him, it's not early, these cars won't sell stones after they leave, and the meat over there is almost cooked, so go back to eat meat!"
Wind Thunder and Little Golden Flower also ran away, and Ruyi and Bimang flew out of the small box. The steward looked at the box with only copper coins and silver ingots left, and after agreeing to Ruyi, his expression was still a little lost!
"Yuanbao, we've made a fortune, these are all money!"
I haven't seen the ingots in the cave yet, but I just saw that the hundreds of carriages and ox carts outside the cave couldn't be transported, and there were still so many stones piled up like a mountain, and I shouted with joy and energy.
The ingots put away the golden knife and came out of the cave. Yuan Bao was cutting stones in the cave, everyone else was resting outside the cave, Yuan Bao stopped and it was the busiest time for these people, and no one had to talk much about Yuan Bao. Ruyi is not the same when they come back, as can be seen from the bright smile that bloomed as soon as the ingots walked out of the cave.
"Sister Ruyi, have you done your big thing?"
"Come on, you'll be able to see it when you get back, you'll be surprised, no, why are you smiling like that, you must have peeked at us, right?"
"No, it was the people who carried the stones who came to say it, everyone knows that they will have meat to eat when they go back today!"
"Yuanbao, listen to me, those little pigs are too bad, they have destroyed a lot of mountains and forests, and they dare not listen to their sister's words, there are so many wild boars, the mountains are all messed up by them, it is better to let us eat them, without those little pigs making trouble, the mountains will be quiet, Bi Mang said that the meat of the little pigs is better than the fish, by the way, when we were in Plum Fort, it seemed that the meat of the little pigs was eaten on the day we left, and my sister still remembers the fragrant taste!"
Yuan Bao was not angry, Ruyi was relieved, and got into Yuan Bao's arms and said with his wings. Yuanbao believes in Bimang, and Bimang has quietly told Yuanbao that every mountain has a carrying limit, and beyond that range, the balance will be broken. With Bimang following, Ruyi has learned a lot of things unconsciously.
"Yuanbao, in such a short time, why did you cut out so many stones, you can't cut any more stones today, otherwise you won't have the strength to eat! I'll put the knife away and see how you cut the stones?" Ruyi said and flew out, and the golden knife disappeared with Ruyi's figure.
"I didn't expect so many people to take a fancy to the stones I cut, and I cut so many before I knew it!"
Yuan Bao tried for an afternoon, so far he can't get out of the golden knife, only relying on his own strength to simulate the knife qi that can cut the stone, not because of lack of strength, but not so accurately controlled, if you want to get out of the golden knife, you still need to continue to try.
Because there is a golden knife, after Ruyi left for the last time, the cave has been broken through at that time, and the speed of the ingots to cut the stone is much faster than the opening of the cave, if nothing else, it is estimated that it will not take half a day to complete the cave according to the design of the ingots.
"Sister Ruyi, tomorrow you can take two carriages side by side in this cave, and at that time, the stones can be transported out faster, and you can go to the stones that Master Qiao likes to build your palace!"
At this exit of the cave, you can already see the final shape of the cave after completion, the width is more than five meters, and the two carriages can easily meet each other in the cave without interfering with each other, and the height is also three meters upward, giving people a very wide field of vision, walking in the cave with a total length of more than four hundred meters, you will not feel oppressive at all.
Yuan Bao can finally talk about all the insights he got from opening the cave, as well as the vision of the cave. Ruyi and Bimang, as well as Fenglei and Little Golden Flower are the best listeners. After that, Ruyi began to describe the great achievements of the four of them in the mountains.
Ruyi first entered the mountain to be inspired by the morning to ask Master Miao to find a leopard as a mount, and wanted to find a few cows to help pull the cart, but the cattle have not been found, and first found that there are wild boars in the mountains to harm the party.
The first wild boars were found to be only a few hundred, and the wild boars were blown into confusion by the wind as they wished. But the wild boar has rough skin and thick meat, and the fall is so miserable that not only does it not surrender when it gets up, but they will not take a small bird in their eyes at all, and they also attack the wind and thunder and the little golden flower, so that Ruyi will fight with them happily.
After lunch at noon, Ruyi successfully found a herd of cows. The group of cattle was very talkative, and they didn't expect that on the way to lead the cattle to pull the cart, they encountered a herd of wild boars again, and the wild boar herd gathered helpers, and the number was already thousands, obviously to take revenge on Ruyi them. Bemang reconnoitred and noticed that there were more wild boars coming towards them in the distance.
The wild boar not only attacked the wind and thunder and the little golden flower, but also attacked the herd, the number of wild boars was already several times that of the herd, and it would not take long to grow to more than ten times, and the cattle were outnumbered and had to evacuate first.
