Chapter 264 Offering the Great Weapon of the Country
The carriage of the Xidu army swayed towards Yao Yun, and although it was a shocking glance, the strange shape of the iron plough still firmly attracted the attention of the new leader of the Izumo caravan.
Did I find something extraordinary?
At this glance, Xiaodao's whole person was shocked, and his heart couldn't help but thump, and there was both excitement and worry in his heart.
He heard that his brother's death was because he was listening to the secrets of the Xi Kingdom, and he was finally killed.
After taking over the caravan, Xiaodao made up his mind that he didn't want to repeat his brother's mistakes, not to listen to the secrets of other countries, to negotiate and live in peace, and to make money to support his family.
But at this moment, the knife is not calm.
He heard his brother mention what he had seen and heardβthe people of Xi were farming, and a group of people watched a farmer drive a cow to work, and his brother thought that the people of Xi were lazy and deserved to starve without food, but when the knife saw the strange shape of the iron plow, he had a faint guess.
If you don't go into the city and ask the people of Xiguo, anyway, the things that the people of Xidu use, it doesn't hurt to ask, and it will be counted as a meticulous work.
After making up his mind, Xiaodao led the caravan into Xidu, and after the caravan settled to rest, he went to the most lively restaurant in Xidu.
Knife ordered a few random items to eat, and then started talking to the store.
"The food in the store is really rich, it is worthy of being a country favored by the divine beast Dangkang, and the products are rich and enviable. β
"That's not it, there are a lot of vegetables in it that are not available in nearby countries, well, it's our king who bought seeds from caravans from afar. β
"I see, speaking of which, I still saw farmers plowing the land with oxen on the road, and your Xiguo farming skills are really good!"
"That's not it, the iron plough is ploughed, and there is no other place to plow!"
"What is an iron plow?"
"Iron plough... Guest officer, the slave family is busy first, you sit first. β
Speaking of the iron plow, the proprietress of the restaurant seemed to remember something, and quickly kept silent.
Seeing this, the knife already had a conjecture in his heart, and the strange farm tool he saw before was probably an iron plow.
"If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, the reason why Xiguo farming is a blockbuster, that is naturally for a reason, if I am not mistaken, its secret must be in the iron plough and ox ploughing, even if it is not all the credit of the iron plow, its weight is not clear!"
Xiaodao secretly pouted in his heart, now it's spring, and it won't be long before Izumo Country will also spring plough, if you can dedicate this secret to the monarch, then there will be less wealth?
This time, the knife forgot the oath that he had made up his mind to do business in peace.
Although the elder brother died from peeping into the secrets of other countries, he is not the elder brother, and the situation encountered between the two is different, since the iron plough and ox farming are well known in the Xi country, it is not a big secret, he is at most the first foreigner to discover, and this first discovery is likely to bring him rich returns.
Thinking of this, Xiaodao immediately made up his mind.
A few days later, after the caravan trade was completed, Sadao couldn't wait to return to Izumo Province with the caravan, yes, directly instead of running merchants along the way, to make more money.
Such a move made the rest of the Izumo caravan puzzled, the last caravan leader who did this is gone, and this caravan leader is here again!
As the leader of the caravan, the knife still has authority, and under his strength, the caravan had no choice but to rush towards Izumo Province.
Knife ignored his companion's complaints, and his face was calm, but under his calm appearance, his heart was full of pride and heat.
In the past few days, the knife has inquired clearly about the role of the iron plough ox ploughing,
Under this inquiry, the effect of the iron plough ox ploughing frightened him, and the ordinary family needs to be busy all day long, and the iron plough ox can be done in an hour, and the ploughing is deeper, which is more conducive to the growth of crops.
The land cultivated by Xidu last year has doubled compared to previous years, and this iron plough ox has made a great contribution to the cultivation!
It was precisely because of these news that Knife had the confidence to let the caravan return to Izumo Province ahead of time, and he had already written down the general shape of the iron plow, and returned to Izumo Province to let the craftsmen draw a scoop according to the gourd, and he would definitely be able to create a similar iron plow.
When the time comes, take the iron plough to meet the monarch of Izumo country, is his wealth still far away?
......
Xidu Witch Temple.
Wu Tong: "King, I heard that you have sent an army into the mountains to hunt, or an elite army, and even six centurion qi refiners have been sent out, I am afraid that you are not just for hunting!"
Yao Yun smiled and nodded: "That's right, there are actually two intentions for sending them into the mountain, one is to inspect the Xi Kingdom, although the monsters and fierce beasts in the mountains are safe, it is inevitable that there will be monsters who are not afraid of death to infest the mountain people." β
Wu Tong smiled and nodded: "The king is very thoughtful, the army composed of various tribes is really a rabble, embarrassed and useful, well, the king's other intentions are..."
"Lone this year to vigorously support the people to breed livestock, wild boars in the mountains, goats are a very good choice, Lone let them catch some work, preferably juvenile wild animals, so better to tame, but the big wild boar in the mountains is extremely fierce, ordinary hunting teams can't deal with it at all, or have to go out of the army!"
"King, if you catch an adult, it doesn't matter, the witch temple can send a witch boy to perform witchcraft taming, spring is the time for the beasts to reproduce, just catch the cubs!" Wu Tong is also quite interested, the grain harvest in Xi is abundant, and the people can eat enough, then the next goal is to eat well, and it is best to eat meat.
Yao Yun remembered the process of taming the bison at the beginning, and immediately smiled lightly: "That troubles the second elder, and you can also raise chickens, ducks and geese, haha, if the breeding of livestock goes well, the next year will be a different scene." β
The second elder also looked expectant, and soon the two chatted freely.
Talking and talking, the topic soon came to the matter of paying tribute to the Emperor of Heaven.
Wu Tong: "King, this year, when we pay tribute to Xiguo, we are going to hemorrhage, because of our contempt for the Jingtian system, we have become the target of the public, so we can't have a fluke in our hearts, otherwise we will be afraid to give it a handle, and lose a big one because of a small one." β
Yao Yun frowned, and then nodded: "Then pay a little more tribute, anyway, Gu is not lacking in this bit of wealth now, snowflake refined salt, hundred refining divine weapons, and even ordinary iron weapons are all selling well in the surrounding countries, so it should be regarded as spending money to eliminate disasters!"
Wu Tong was originally worried that the king was young and vigorous, and he was unwilling to pay more tribute, but he was greatly relieved to hear that the king was so open-minded.
However, Wu Tong had just put his mind at ease, and Yao Yun's next words shocked him, only to hear Yao Yun continue:
"Second Elder, why don't we offer the iron plough and oxen to plough as well. β
"King, are you willing to plough the iron plough ox? If you are willing, the old man naturally has no opinion, this is a thing for the benefit of all people, if you are dedicated to the summer dynasty, it will definitely be immeasurable, luck will be added, and the future competition for the position of the Son of Heaven will add a little bit of foundation, the king, you are enlightened!"
Yao Yun smiled, he heard that there were caravans from other countries inquiring about the news of iron plough ox ploughing, this iron plough can be imitated at a glance, although the iron plough made by other countries may not be as good as the iron plough of Xi Kingdom, but it is not a problem to imitate it.
If it weren't for the fact that the iron plough ox plough was too easy to imitate, he would not be willing to sacrifice such a farming weapon so early.
However, it is good to give it away, not only to obtain a source of sentient beings' mental power, but also to benefit a lot from his four god-killing swords.
Although there is no patent protection in this world, there is a spirit in heaven, and there will inevitably be rewards from heaven and earth for meritorious service to the world, and luck and merit will roll in, and he will not suffer left and right.
