Chapter 33: The Original Ecology of the Gobi

An old man with a gray beard fell to the ground, begging Mahim for something.

When they got closer, they learned that the old man was begging the caravan to spare the wild men who had attacked them, and that he had promised to offer all the food of the tribe.

Not only that, but there were more than a dozen black savage women lying behind him, which was probably part of the gift.

Tie Xinyuan didn't bother to explain the current situation, he didn't need the pitiful life-saving food of the savages, and he didn't have any interest in those black female savages, but the little savages laughed and pulled out a little female savage with very eyes from the crowd of female savages.

Tie Xinyuan kicked the little savage away, and then ignored the little savage who was crying, and directly ordered a horizontal line to be drawn on the edge of the waterfall, telling the old savage that he should not step on this line for a single step, and if he wanted to drink water, he could go to the downstream of the stream.

While others were setting up tents and taking care of camels and war horses, Tie Xinyuan walked through the valley again.

Compared to later generations, this valley is much smaller, with no layers of fields and no dense paths.

The only things that left were wild trees and yellow weeds.

The Tien Shan Mountains are a treasure trove of climates, with numerous climate-friendly valleys, tall mountains, and active volcanoes underground, giving the mountain a rich and diverse climate.

Some places are comparable to Gangnam.

The shrub with a fresh fragrance is the best for smoking bacon, which is the secret of this valley, Tie Xinyuan has eaten it, and the taste is superb, but unfortunately the price is also top-notch.

This waterfall is something that later generations do not have, and the snow line of the Tianshan Mountains at this time is much lower than that of later generations.

After the Black Storm. Everything must be cleaned, ****** their bodies are not allowed to be unclean, and this is especially true of Tie Xinyuan.

Tie Xinyuan stopped Mahim from boiling water for a bath, and with his bathing things, he stripped naked and jumped into a hot spring that they thought was poisonous under the horrified gaze of the savage patriarch.

The smell of sulfur here is strong. The water is also very hot, and it is said that the hot springs here have countless wonderful uses for a long time, and it is said that the hot springs here have countless wonderful uses.

Hot springs were not uncommon for the Mahimes, and when a group of stinking men all entered the hot springs, the gray-haired patriarch had a sinister smile on his face.

Tie Xinyuan saw the smile of the old patriarch, the water that can't be drunk doesn't mean that it can't be used for bathing.

How much a slippery sulfur bath did for the body was simply not something that a savage could have imagined.

The people who took the hot spring bath did not die, which made the old patriarch very frightened.

All the sheep who have drunk the water in this hot puddle. They will die, cows that drink water will die, even camels will die.

From a long time ago, this smelly hot water puddle was a taboo in the tribe, and now, these outsiders soak their bodies in it, but nothing happens, God, what kind of people are they?

The benefits of sulphur hot springs are not known to the Iron Heart Source. It is necessary to bathe with clean water after bathing in the sulphur hot springs.

Just put a wooden basin filled with clean water into the hot spring, and it won't be long before it turns into hot water.

After three rounds of vigorous cleaning. Tie Xinyuan returned to the camp with a large group of people and replaced the other half of them to bathe.

When the smell of food came from the big hanging pot of Tie Xinyuan, the expressions of the men and women of those tribes were very strange.

Tie Xinyuan was already familiar with this expression, since he came to the Western Regions, he had seen this expression of deep longing for food countless times, and he had long been numb. Now, even with such an expression, he can safely stuff food into his mouth.

The Western Regions is vast and vast, and it is also a land full of hunger, and many times Tie Xinyuan can't figure it out, as long as he works hard. People who can grow a lot of food where there is water are always starving.

Don't attribute all the tragedies to the robbers, the government, as far as Tie Xinyuan knows, whether it is a sand thief or a robber, the most interested is always the caravan and camel caravan, on the contrary, for the poor people in the Gobi, on the contrary, they are much more merciful, even the sand pirates know that the more people in the Gobi, the better their life will be.

Although there are often such things as **** plundering, they are all low-intensity incidents, and the people in the Gobi who are not enough to harm are starving together.

This is the idea that Tie Xinyuan has put himself in the position of a robber.

As for the tax collected by the government, it is a joke for the farmers of the Great Song Dynasty, you have the ability to grow 1,000 mu of grain, the government collects 100 catties of grain, and you plant 10 mu of grain and the government still collects 100 catties of grain.

Such a tax rate, if placed in the Great Song Dynasty, is the benevolent government of benevolence, and the people will rush to send grain to the government, so as to seek a year of peace.

The biggest root is actually lazy, they like to rob, they like to get something for nothing.

The people on the Gobi are always recited those who get rich without hard work, or through robbery, and they will look down on those who farm honestly.

In the early spring, people burned the dead grass on the ground, then smashed a hole with a wooden stick in the black ashes, threw the seeds into it, and then waited for the autumn harvest with peace of mind.

The Han made several expeditions to the Western Regions, bringing advanced agricultural civilization here, but unfortunately, this civilization existed for a very short time.

When a country becomes rich by growing crops, it is immediately robbed by countless countries that do not want to grow crops, and the result is that there is no real agriculture at all.

Many, many famous and rich countries that can grow grain in history have disappeared, whether it is Dawan, Dayueshi, and Gaochang, which is famous for growing cotton, they all disappeared after a fire in the sky of history.

In a place where jackals are everywhere, it is difficult for a country where grain is the main food to gain a foothold, and even if it is strong for a while, it will not last long.

The Hu people's national fortune without a hundred years is not only about the tribes of the Central Plains who invaded them, but also about the current situation here.

The people here will run twenty miles for a wounded yellow sheep, and climb a snow-capped mountain full of ice for a snow lotus.

It's just that no one wants to farm.

Laziness and poverty are definitely a pair of sister flowers, they complement each other and are indispensable.

Tie Xinyuan has already beaten the little savage three times today.

This guy carried a large bowl full of food, and walked across the line drawn by Tie Xinyuan to show everyone what he had today.

He only gave the little girl a small bite......

He tried to trade the bowl of rice for the little girl......

After Tie Xinyuan finished beating the little savage, he took out a little grain to boil porridge and gave it to the tribe of Qingxiang Valley.

This is actually a little compensation for killing the people in their valley, and the lives of the people on the Gobi are not worth anything.

The men and women in the valley were actually recruited from the Gobi by the old patriarch with grain.

This kind of activity has been going on for many years, and if a tribe does not recruit new people from outside, inbreeding continues, and the tribe will die out naturally.

Grain is not grown, but food dominates everything in the desert Gobi, and this is the real Gobi situation.

In order to strengthen his rule and to show his existence, the king would make his country rich and powerful by giving the helpless and destitute wildlings a little seed and some of the coarsest agricultural tools.

Countless social upheavals throughout history do not seem to have played any role in promoting the mysterious land of the Gobi, on the contrary, the oldest customs and rules have been handed down and stubbornly observed by these people.

The old patriarch threw the wounded men in the valley at the mouth of the valley, and the arrows from their bodies were taken away by the old patriarch, along with the clothes they were wearing, which, according to the old patriarch, were the wealth of the tribe.

And these people were specially recruited by the tribe to guard the valley, and when the people died, they just recruited some more.

After a night of howling winds, many people died, and some of the stronger crawled back to the tribe, barely staying on the edge of the hot springs under the punches and kicks of the tribesmen, who knew it was the warmest place in the entire valley.

After observing for a day, Tie Xinyuan chose to take in this group of people, and there were not many people, that is, forty-three people.

According to Meng Yuanzhi, those who can survive should be the strongest men.

Even if Tie Xinyuan didn't save them, these people's wounds would heal automatically on the edge of the hot spring, and all he consumed was a paltry ration.

Meng Yuanzhi hoped that Tie Xinyuan would have more and more people around him, and he also hoped that he would be able to command more subordinates, so that he could become a real general.

Tie Xinyuan didn't think that Meng Yuanzhi would become a famous general.

If he really chose generals from among his own people, he would choose Tie Yi and them instead of Meng Yuanzhi at the first time.

Therefore, the affairs of these savages in Huairou, Tie Xinyuan was handed over to Tie Yi to complete, and in the days of waiting for the Khitan army to leave, it was just right to train them well, even if they were injured, this process could not be omitted.

Hiding in the valley is boring, and Tie Xinyuan tries not to let himself think about so many things.

As he had known a long time ago, time is the most honest, and he can expose all the good and the ugly in broad daylight. (To be continued.) )
