In the earthen village, the head man Aru Heyi smiled and stood at the bottom to speak, but he was shocked and uncertain in his heart.

Qi people suddenly came uninvited, and it was the White Tiger General who had long been famous in Siye, and his clansmen did not dare to stop him, so they could only invite this White Tiger General into the village.

And now General Baihu even said that he wanted to meet with the Quartet in this Baisha Village, and asked him to send people to deliver letters to various villages, and these villages, even tribes he had never heard of hundreds of miles away in the north, all belonged to Guizhou.

However, General Baihu also explained clearly, such as those in the northernmost part of the village that Aruhe does not know at all, Aruhe can let his people know and go to the northern village to send the letter and then send someone to the north to spread the message, in short, half a month later, in this Baisha Village, and the leaders of the tribe will make an alliance.

Alu agreed with a smile, and had already asked people to hurry to Gongcheng to ask for help.

Baishazhai has always been under the rule of Gongcheng County, which is a county of Zhaozhou, originally a Machu land, and now a Han land.

"I see that the tea trees on the mountain are growing well." Lu Ning said with a smile.

Aruhe is in the heart.

Gongcheng is rich in tea, and the name was "Tea City" when the former Sui Dynasty was just established as a county, and it was later changed to Gongcheng.

And many local villagers such as Aruhebu have gradually become tea farmers, although they are tired, and the tea will be confiscated by the government, but at least their lives are relatively stable, and they have a bite to eat.

Looking at it now, this White Tiger General really came to the tea area.

He wants to meet the alliance of more than 100 mountain villages and villages, all of which are close to the Han land of Fuchuan, some of which belong to Zhaozhou, some belong to Guizhou, and the vast majority of them are tea farmers.

Now, it is also the time to pick spring tea.

Aruhe could only smile, "Yes, there are no pests this year, the spring tea should be good, and when it is picked, I will pay more filial piety to the general." ”

Lu Ning said with a smile: "Lord Han collects your tea, how much grain do you use, and how much tea do you exchange for tea?" I heard that it's a load of grain, a load of tea? ”

Aru Hexin was a little helpless at once, especially this Shangguan came from Qi Di, I heard that Qi is now rich, it seems that grain production has increased, and the price of grain is about 100 wen per bucket, depending on the region, there are slight differences, and this is the official price, neither too high nor too low, otherwise, I am afraid that the price of grain will be lower.

And listening to those Qidi tea merchants who secretly came to trade, Gongcheng tea is considered to be a good tea in Qidi, and the middle and upper tea in Qidi is officially purchased, and one pound is about 100 Wen, and it is sold to the outside world, when it is more than 200 Wen.

That is, if the tea trees of the same quality are used, the income of tea farmers in Han is only one-tenth of that of tea farmers in Qidi.

Sighing, Aruhe didn't speak.

Lu Ning smiled and said: "I think so, in the future, you will go to Fuchuan to pay tea, as long as it is qualified to make tea in the middle and upper grades, you will have five loads of grain in exchange for one load of tea." Summoning the alliance of the heads of the neighboring tea villages, this proposal is also one of the matters that I want to announce. ”

Aru was stunned, this is about the same price as those tea merchants who are bold enough to come to trade secretly, but it is impossible for each tea village to dare to sell much to tea merchants, otherwise the sudden sharp decrease in production will inevitably cause trouble.

But the problem is, when you go to Bucheon to pay for tea, you pay too much, isn't it a dead end? What's the point of paying less? It's better to sell it secretly to a tea merchant.

After glancing at Aluhe, who was about to speak, Lu Ning smiled again: "I understand your concerns, the officials of Lingnan Kingdom, I will explain to them." ”

Standing beside Lu Ning, wearing a uniform of white clothes and white pants, Jiao Cailian, who was lined more and more delicate and gorgeous, quickly recorded Lu Ning's words with a pen.

Before the Shenwei army arrived, Lu Ning, the big tent, felt that it was ridiculous to live there, so he didn't rest in it for a day, so he took Cao Bin and the soldiers of the capital to the east of the Han land, wanting to subdue the large and small earthen villages within a radius of 100 miles.

When it comes to Pingding Lingnan, what is Pingding? It is most important for the people of all tribes to gradually merge together.

This time he came to this Baisha Village, Lu Ning brought Zhu Mao, and I don't know how he had the reputation of the White Tiger General in the nearby barbarians, and the farther and farther, at the beginning, it should have started from the pacification of the fire barbarians, but the color of Zhu Mao's fur is obviously not white, think about it, it is this name auspicious and more majestic.

In addition, when she came to Baisha Village, Lu Ning brought Su Xiaoxiao, who hadn't seen her for a long time, and didn't have time to talk alone, so she just took her out to play, it seems that she also misses a few caterpillars, and Zhumao still knows her, so she doesn't show any hostility.

There is also Mrs. Blossom, who has been depressed, so she brought it out to relax.

I also pondered that Su Xiaoxiao and Sister Hua Rui were obviously not all the way, and they had no common topics, so they brought Jiao Cailian to accompany them.

Although the more suitable candidate is Tang Yuniang, Sister Hua Rui is always very unnatural when she faces Tang Yuniang.

Jiao Cailian is very good at observing words and feelings, and she also has a natural sense of awe for the princess of Shu, even in the face of Li Yanniang, who has been demoted to a foot-washing girl.

Therefore, taking her out should be able to accompany Sister Hua Rui to relieve her sorrows.

And in alliance with the barbarians, you also need to have an internal memory room by your side to record your words, so as not to make some decisions in your head and forget them when you look back.

Of course, you can't bring more, just bring three daughters, if you encounter danger, Zhumao is a camel, and you can escape into the mountains and forests with yourself, and you should be safe.

When Lu Ning was thinking nonsense, Alu Heyu smiled and said: "Of course it's good, I'm in Baishabu, and I'm willing to pay tea to go to Fuchuan!" ”

Lu Ning smiled, knowing that he had a lot of doubts in his heart, and now he was just dealing with himself, and he didn't say anything, "Okay, in this case, I'll leave first." ”

Aruhe hurriedly bowed and sent him off.

……

The 100 soldiers of the Shenwei Army camped next to the Yuankou River at the foot of Baisha Mountain, and the two simple tents of Lu Ning and Sannu were a little farther away, in a tea grove on the bank of the Yuankou River. Zhu Mao was also lying lazily in the tea forest, these guys are getting lazier and lazier, and the fat ones are almost ball-shaped, and they have completely degenerated into domestic big cats.

After getting off Baisha Village, coming to the tea forest, and seeing the two shadows sitting by the river, Lu Ning tiptoed over, Jiao Cailian saw this, and stopped, not daring to follow at this time, she couldn't be as silent as the General Academy.

"Guess who I am!" Lu Ning covered Su Xiaoxiao's eyes with both hands from behind.

"Daddy!" Su Xiaoxiao laughed happily, like Tang Yuniang and Lian'er, Su Xiaoxiao naturally followed the title of "Daddy", this title seems to be able to accurately express that for this master, that kind of respect and admiration, as well as his own dependence, is much more appropriate than the title of "master".

Lu Ning smiled, sat down next to her, and said, "Don't get up, what are so many rules?" ”

Su Xiaoxiao was wearing a goose yellow gauze skirt, went to shoes and socks, a pair of crystal clear snow-footed little feet, playing in the water, the river water was crystal clear, the small fish swimming in it and the sand of the river beach could be seen clearly, Su Xiaoxiao was playing happily.

This year is also fifteen or sixteen years old, but unlike Gui'er and Wu Niang back then, in the past few years, she has been living under her wings, and she has nothing to worry about without worrying about food and clothing, so she has not taken off her childishness, and she has a similar mentality to a little girl of the same age in later generations.

On the other side, Mrs. Hua Rui was originally sitting on the riverside, and she was about to get up at this time, and Jiao Cailian had already taken a few steps and came over to help.
