By this time, Yunmo had planted more than 3,000 acres of sweet potatoes, 10 acres of rice, 5 acres of millet, half an acre of corn, half an acre of peppers, and a total of more than 10 acres of various vegetables.

Blessed are the livestock in Qingxiang Valley, the sweet potato vine is a high-energy green feed, and the fast-growing sweet potato vine can be cut a little casually, and hundreds of livestock in the Qingxiang Valley can't eat it all.

More than 600 people and more than 300 livestock, in two months, can grow so many crops, Yun Mo has to admire these compatriots, farming is simply one of the racial talents of the Han people.

In the Western Regions, the richer the tribe, the more thieves are recruited to rob and kill, thousands of acres of high-quality sweet potatoes have been planted, and the rest is watering and fertilizing, and then waiting for a bumper harvest in November.

It is already predictable that the tribe will become rich, but the military strength must also keep up, Yun Mo has more than 230 men in his hands, and more than 100 female soldiers who can participate in the defense of the city.

With this amount of troops, he will definitely not be able to resist a large-scale invasion, and it is unrealistic to recruit manpower now, because the food that Yun Mo exchanged for is out again, and he must go to Jiaohe City to exchange food.

Green salt is a good thing, but it is also easy to attract the prying eyes of others, but hundreds of mouths are waiting to be fed, there is no food, there is no way, Yun Mo decided to take the male soldiers who have been trained for two months to Jiaohe City to exchange for food, cloth and other daily necessities.

The coarse cloth that Yun Mo changed back in the early stage only made a set of clothes for everyone, and there was no preparation of winter clothes, these things need to be changed with green salt, and the amount required is not small.

If a tribe takes out a large amount of green salt in a short period of time, you don't need to guess to know it, and the government and horse thieves will take turns to come to the door.

Yun Mo also wants to hide in a corner that others don't pay attention to and develop secretly, but in reality, there is no such good thing, since it is secretly developed, it is to be vigorous, directly pull five thousand catties of green salt to Jiaohe City, and the population and materials can be exchanged.

Yun Mo is not impulsive, he is confident, he does not have many troops in his hands, but he has a big killing weapon like the earth-shaking thunder in his hands, whether it is a field battle or defending the city, in this era, it is a terrifying existence.

The earthen wall in front of Qingxiang Valley is already 11 meters high, and now bricks have been burned in Qingxiang Valley, and before winter comes, this 600-meter earthen wall will become a brick-covered city wall.

With such a majestic city wall and crossbow arrows and powerful earth-shattering thunder, Yun Mo was confident that he had enough self-protection ability, so Yun Mo was not afraid of the prying eyes of the Hui Mansion and horse thieves.

Yun Mo wanted to take all the male soldiers to Jiaohe City, and the defense of Qingxiang City, Yun Mo handed it over to Zhang Ying, with the assistance of those crippled veterans who had survived a hundred battles, he was not afraid that someone would copy his nest.

More than 230 heavily armed soldiers escorted more than 50 carriages out of Qingxiang City and headed straight for Jiaohe City, 90 kilometers away. Along the way, there were no horse thieves, maybe the weather was too hot, maybe it was more than a hundred guards in iron armor.

Regardless of that situation, Yun Mo and the others came to Jiaohe City smoothly, and at the city gate, Yun Mo and the others were blocked by the Hui officers and soldiers guarding the city gate.

Or the last time the Hui officer, this kid received a piece of jade pendant from Chen Cang last time, it is estimated that he made a small fortune, and he was on duty today, and he found that the God of Wealth came to the door.

"Stop, what are you pulling? Why are there so many guards in iron armor? ”

Yun Mo rode on the jujube red horse and didn't say anything, the little white horse "local tyrant" picked up in the wasteland followed behind and snapped his nose, the "local tyrant" was very sticky to Yun Mo, and Yun Mo followed wherever he went.

The last time Yun Mo went to Jiaohe City, he didn't bring the local tyrant out, and as a result, the local tyrant didn't eat or drink for three days, if Yun Mo was delayed in Jiaohe for two more days, the local tyrant would die, and this time when he arrived in Jiaohe City, Yun Mo had to let the "local tyrant" follow, lest this little thing go on a hunger strike at home.

Chen Cang hurriedly dismounted, took out a silver ingot of ten taels from his sleeve, and handed it to the officer with a smile on his face:

"Master Jun, Master Jun, there is no respect for a little meaning."

The officer took the silver, weighed it with his hand, and when he got it to his mouth, he bit it hard with his teeth:

"The silver is in good condition."

"A little heart, please let our caravan in."

That time, the officer looked at Chen Cang with a smile, and said with a smile:

"What are you pulling?"

"Green Salt"

"Green salt is very expensive!"

"A small business is not enough to worry about."

Chen Cang knew that this time the Hui officer was disgusted with him for giving less, and the people had to bow their heads under the eaves, and the dozens of Hui soldiers at the city gate were not enough for them to kill, but what about after killing?

This exchange will definitely not be possible, what will those hundreds of mouths eat? In addition, although the Hui official mansion is weak, there are still more than 100,000 troops, and hundreds of people are facing the encirclement and suppression of the Hui army, even if Yun Mo can rely on Qingxiang City to hold on, it will also lose the opportunity to continue to grow and develop.

Chen Cang took out another ingot of ten taels of silver and stuffed it into the hand of the Hui officer:

"Small business, please ask the military master to be tolerant."

"Well said, well said...... The ten taxes stipulated by the imperial court are one, for your sensible sake, twenty taxes and one! ”

"Can the military master be accommodating?"

"No, at least twenty taxes."

No matter how Chen Cang pleaded, the Hui officers were unmoved, and it was necessary to collect taxes, Chen Cang had no choice but to return to Yun Mo's horse and ask for instructions:

"Chief, they will pay twenty taxes and one."

Taxation is the basis of the existence of the state, although Yun Mo does not like to return to the official mansion, but Yun Mo does not resist paying taxes, because he will also collect taxes in the Western Regions in the future.

"Uncle Chen, just pay the tax according to their requirements! We have produced more than 30,000 catties of green salt in the past two months, so why care about this, it is most important to exchange it for what we need most. ”

The green salt of the two carriages was unloaded, and Yun Mo's convoy was able to enter Jiaohe City smoothly, and as soon as Yun Mo entered the city, he heard a childish voice beckoning him:

"Young Master Yun, Young Master Yun ......"

It turned out that it was the Hui boy Hanic who helped Yun Mo introduce Han slaves last time, and when the business was completed, Yun Mo gave him a sum of money.

The last time I saw him, he was still unclothed and thin, but now he had a relatively clean coarse cloth garment, and his face was a little fleshy.

"Harnick, come here."

and Nick trotted to Yunmo's horse, bent down and gave a ninety-degree bow:

"Young Master Yun, you still remember me!"

Yun Mo, a modern person, does not have the lofty shelf of ancient times at all, so he gives people a very amiable image.

"Of course I remember, last time it was thanks to your help that the deal went so smoothly."

"Hehe, it is Xiao Ha's honor to be able to serve Young Master Yun, if Young Master Yun has anything to use Xiao Ha, please Yun Shao just command."

This is Hannick asking Yun Mo for something to do! How could Yun Mo not understand:

"There is really something to trouble you, you go to the traffickers everywhere and ask, if there are Han slaves for sale, there is no limit to the number, remember, I use green salt to settle."

"Since you left, young master, I have been paying attention to the sale of Han slaves in that family, and I already know it in my heart, I will now ask those traffickers to see if they are willing to exchange slaves for green salt."

In this place in the Western Regions, there are two things that are better than money, that is, grain and salt, and green salt, which is better than money, cannot be bought for slaves.

Yalikun of Longchang Grain Bank, when he saw Yun Mo again, he no longer had the arrogance of the previous time, but gave Yun Mo tea with a smile:

"Ouch! What a distinguished guest today! Young Master Yun has some big business to take care of the shop today. ”
