Tianhao smiled bitterly and sighed: "Your Highness, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for that time." Although our village is by the sea, we can't get water to boil salt. Now that it's cold, the venison won't go bad. If you really wait until spring, the meat ...... It all stinks. ”

Niu Weibang was slightly stunned, and then a dangerous cold light was released in his eyes: "What did you say?" ”

"The sea near Panshi Village freezes in winter, and there are some huge monsters in the sea. As long as they stay on the beach for a little longer, they will come out and drag the person who fetches the water down to eat. There was a tremor in Tianhao's voice, but his gaze was very resolute: "These things are not secrets, Your Highness, you only need to check them." ”

Gambling takes courage, especially when putting all the bets on the table and asking for studs, which is truly all-or-nothing.

Niu Weibang's face was full of suspicion. He snapped his fingers, summoned one of his attendants, whispered a few words, and the man took the command and turned away. The Lei Niu patriarch, who was sitting at the top, spread his legs very wide, his left hand was clubbed on his knee, his upper body leaned forward, and he looked at Tianhao condescendingly: "You'd better not lie. Whoever deceives me will die a terrible death. ”

Tianhao replied with silence.

The attendants quickly retrieved the relevant records of the Panshi Village. It is a kind of material recorded on animal skins that resembles the local chronicles of the civilization era. Under normal circumstances, every five years, the ethnic group will send special personnel to investigate the various places under its jurisdiction, and the information on the local specialties, population base, climate and environment are recorded, and then the previous information is modified.

The animal skin is clearly written: Panshi Village, ten days away from the foot of Thunderhorn City...... Adjacent to the sea, the sea freezes in winter, and there are man-eating giants in the sea, which is inaccessible.

At the end of the document, there is also a small print note: the area cannot produce salt, and it needs to be transported from other places.

"Bastard!"

Niu Weibang rolled up the animal skin in his hand and threw it heavily on the ground. His well-defined face was full of anger, and his mind was guided by normal logic in a terrible direction.

The young man named Tianhao did not lie.

It is true that Panshi Village is unable to produce salt.

In a small village with less than 300 people, Niu Weibang will not pay attention to it at all. The reason why he suddenly became interested was that on the one hand, Niu Tong and Wu Yuan appreciated Tianhao, and on the other hand, the document he sent clearly wrote about the tribute.

Niu Weibang is well aware of the desire of low-level civilians for surnames. He was not a tyrannical ruler and paid a tax rate of only 30 percent per year on the normal grain he collected. Greed is accompanied by the growth of power, and the increasing proportion of contributions in villages around the country makes Niu Weibang feel helpless. Now, the amount of spontaneous payment has reached 50 percent, but it is the first time that Niu Weibang has encountered the practice of directly indicating 80 percent on the document like Panshizhai.

He shuddered when he thought about it, was this to starve all the people under his rule to death, just to get a surname?

Loyalty is loyal enough, but an out-and-out fool.

All the people under his rule are dead, and Lao Tzu is still a fart king?

As for the tribute of the 3,000 deer, Niu Weibang was indeed very interested. Together, it is not unreasonable to give the leader of the Panshi Village a surname. It's just that the facts in front of him make Niu Weibang furious, and he feels like an idiot has been tricked.

The thing is clear, with the ability of Rock Village, it is impossible to digest so many deer. Time passes day by day, and spring will soon be coming. When the time comes, the venison that was originally rich in wealth will rot, but the rock village will not be able to produce salt, and it is far away from Thunderhorn City, so it is better to throw this trouble to yourself in the name of tribute than to rot and stink in your hands.

Long-distance transportation is not possible in winter. The wheels would be buried in deep snow, and even Niu Weibang, the patriarch of the Lei Niu Clan, who ruled over hundreds of thousands of people, had to obey the natural environment and push the work until spring.

Tribute?

Hehe......

A primordial bloody anger poured out from the bottom of Niu Weibang's heart, and at the same time, there was also a desire to fight back. The idea of killing was surging in his school, but reason pulled him back from the brink of rage. Heavy breathing gradually became slow, he looked at Tianhao who was kneeling at the foot of the steps, thinking of the official of the Signing and Printing Mansion who came to report yesterday, the corners of his hard mouth slowly curved upward, revealing a strange sneer.

"Go back! Tell your leaders that the share of grain and tribute handed over will be forgotten, and this king is not interested. Let him do what he wants. ”

People who can come up with the best-of-three method and let the Thunder Bull Division and the Blood Eagle Department win in the archery competition can be regarded as smart.

A person who can pick up a soldering iron and brand his identity mark on his arm without saying a word can be regarded as a warrior.

A brave and resourceful young man just appeared in the place of Panshi Village, just thinking about it is worth looking forward to.

Eighty percent of the grain was handed over, and Niu Weibang did not pay attention to it at all. There are less than 300 people in Panshi Village, so what is the use of the grain handed over no matter how high the share is? Rather than snatch the stutter from the poor man's mouth, simply give it up generously. After all, they are the people of their own tribe, their own people.

The nobility has the pride of the nobility, and the lowly commoners will not understand it at all. They naively thought that as long as they had a surname, they could escape their fate and jump into the ranks of the nobility. As everyone knows, the ruling class never increases their numbers easily. Even if this generation is lucky enough to get a surname, it is deprived of it for various reasons after death, and it is difficult for future generations, or even impossible to inherit.

The leader of the Rock Village is simply old and stupid.

A young centennial leader should be able to fight him, and this kind of thing is interesting when you think about it.

……

When he left the City Lord's Mansion, Tianhao's heart was full of surprises.

Those responses were not made out of haste. On the way from Panshi Village, he thought about it very completely.

Before Barehoof City, passing through so many villages along the way, Tianhao didn't inquire about any information related to the local chief. A mismatch in identity can prevent the plan from taking place. Whether it is five hundred or a thousand heads, they are not ranked in front of the illustrious Lei Niu patriarch. The only thing that can really be used is the city lord of Red Hoof City, Niu Tong.

Not all new 100 capitals will be received by the Patriarch. But it would be different if there was a city lord to help him speak. Even if Niu Tong's leg is not injured, Tianhao will find other excuses and find ways to get in touch with Niu Tong.

The food in the stockade must be saved, as well as the deer. The starting point of parasitic resurrection is already very low, and Tianhao must firmly grasp the place of Panshi Village, so that it can develop and grow, and truly become its own territory.

Will there be some kind of reward for offering the strategy of "Tian Ji Horse Racing"?

To be honest, this kind of thing is not within Tianhao's consideration. The core of the plan is food and deer, as for other things, of course, it is good to have them, and it is not worth regretting if they don't have them, and it is impossible to fight hard as a mere head of a hundred people.

The Great Witch's residence is not far from the City Lord's Mansion. Tian Hao returned to the inn to pack his luggage, and returned to the main road with Tian Mania, and came to the front of the Great Witch's residence. Standing on the road, with the most respectful etiquette, he bowed to the gate and turned away.

Niu Tong and Wu Yuan did not appear later. For whatever reason, Tianhao didn't come to the door. What's more, he had already gotten the benefits he wanted from Niu Weibang, the patriarch of Lei Niu. If there is no mistake, Niu Tong and Wu Yuan should have said something good about themselves.

In the case of each other's identity and strength are not equal, it is impossible for a cat and a tiger to become friends. Of course, in the name of "helping each other", it's okay to take advantage of it once in a while.
