Chapter 52: The Happy Barbarian Soldier

According to the contract signed between Li Longxuan and them, each sheep and each cow is recovered at an extra market price of one gold coin, don't underestimate this gold coin, there are many cattle and sheep on the grassland, and a herdsman can raise thousands of them every year, which is thousands more than usual.

In addition to cows and sheep, there is also cow and goat's milk, and that thing has never thought of being able to exchange money except for the lamb and the calf and drinking it for himself, and now someone wants to buy it. Not only milk, but also wool is now valuable.

And Li Longxuan also recycled at the price of ten copper coins per catty of wool, the wool used to be garbage on the prairie, no one wanted it at all, it was burned and smelly, and now Li Longxuan actually wants to buy it, which is a very happy thing for the residents on the prairie.

Now that someone wants to buy it, this is definitely a great joy for the inhabitants of the prairie! Every year, every family shears several tons of wool, which is a pile of gold coins.

With money, you can buy a lot of food, you can buy the gorgeous brocade of the Chinese people and some food of the Chinese people, with money, who is stupid to take their lives to plunder?

Within the Great Wall, in a makeshift camp.

This is the camp of the barbarians, where a thousand barbarians live, and the barbarians are managed separately, in units of a thousand people and a thousand people, scattered around the Great Wall.

They were forced to put down their swords, pick up hoes and shovels, and take on the work of migrant workers in another world.

In a barracks, several barbarian soldiers were drinking rice wine boringly, after the construction of the Great Wall, they had no work for the time being, and they were immediately a little panicked.

At this time, a figure quickly moved forward and walked into the barracks, with a happy face.

"Jebe, what are you so happy about?, have you gone to the Red Mansion in Cold Bone City to find a rooster again?" asked a barbarian soldier who was drinking. Although they were sent to do the hardest work in the world, they were well fed and clothed, had wine and meat every day, and occasionally entered the Cold Bone City to see if they performed well.

"No, no, oh god forbid, I got very good news. Jebel said excitedly.

"Oh, Jebe, what good news, can we also return to the beautiful steppes like the Great Khan of Aratu?" asked a barbarian soldier.

"Oh, the gods are above, it's not good news to return to the prairie, back to the prairie, except for the damned cattle and sheep, there is not even any wine to drink, if you really let me go back to the prairie, you might as well kill me. ”

"Oh my God, I don't want to go back to the prairie, every day the cold wind blows, every day I am hungry, where is there any good here, every day there is meat to eat, wine to drink, and delicious white rice. ”

“......”

The people next to him said that the prairie is good, but it is better here, there are windproof houses, thick quilts, large pieces of meat and big sip of wine, and more importantly, they are full.

Every day is very tired, but every meal is full of fish, meat, rice, and wine, this is simply the paradise of the legend in the Bible, so that this group of barbarian soldiers do not want to return to the prairie. Although I occasionally miss my hometown and my relatives in my hometown.

On the grassland, the cattle and sheep belong to the tribe, they are the sweaters, and the hungry herdsmen are a handful. The Great Khan, like the landlords of the Chinese people, controlled most or all of the grasslands, cattle and sheep, while the ordinary herdsmen were the long-term workers of the landlords' families or, some were still slaves. Not having enough to eat, not enough to wear, not being warm, being beaten, that's a regular thing.

So now that I can eat enough and still be bullied, the fool is willing to go back to the grassland.

"No, no. Jebe shook his head and said excitedly: "No, no, we can't go back to the prairie for the time being, I think we have to live the current life for the time being, but according to the information I received, from tomorrow, we will be sent to build roads." ”

"So before spring comes, we still have good wine to drink and good meat to eat?"

"It's a great thing for us to finally be able to go hungry this winter. ”

"We barbarians don't have anything, but we have brute strength, don't we just build roads? As long as the Chinese people give me enough food, let me build for the rest of my life. ”

“......”

"Brothers, this time we will not only be able to eat enough, but we can also get ten gold coins every month!" Jebe said excitedly: "Brothers, from today onwards, anyone who works for Cold Bone City will be able to get ten gold coins every month, and those who perform well can also get the status of a resident of Cold Bone City, get a house, and stay their own people in Cold Bone City to live." ”

"Do you see the life of the inhabitants of Cold Bone City? Do you see it? Where is the life of people, it is all the life of the nobility!" Jebel became more and more excited: "Ten gold coins, ten gold coins! Every time we plunder, we don't get ten gold coins!"

"What? What you said is true? Is it really ten gold coins? Not ten copper coins or ten silver coins?" said a barbarian soldier excitedly, "What you said is true?

Ten gold coins, that's a year's income of an ordinary family, no, in some places, the income of some ordinary people in a year is less than ten silver coins.

According to the latest numismatic classification of Cold Bone City, it can be divided into copper coins, copper coins, silver coins, and gold coins.

Ten copper coins are equal to one copper coin, one hundred copper coins are equal to one silver coin, one hundred silver coins are equal to one gold coin, if a copper coin is a dime, then a copper coin is one dollar, a silver coin is a hundred dollars, and a gold coin is ten thousand dollars.

This is the current coin classification of Cold Bone City, of course, this is not absolute, because the situation of silver coins and gold coins is different in various countries and places, some places have less silver and gold content, some places have more, and some places do not have silver coins and gold coins at all, but directly piece by piece, so it should be calculated according to the realistic method.

"Jebe, you didn't lie to us? You dare to swear to the wolf god of the steppe that you didn't lie to us?"

"Is it really ten gold coins? ten gold coins a month?" said one of the barbarians excitedly, "this ...... How much money is that? I'll calculate, I'll calculate......."

As a result, this guy can't figure it out.

The whole camp soon became lively, one by one excitedly waiting, a day later, the official documents written in Chinese characters were pasted all over the camps, all the barbarians were really happy and couldn't sleep, looking forward to starting work soon.

Money, that's money, a nobleman can spend ten gold coins a month, he is already a very wealthy person, and now he can have the same money as the noble lord, think about it, these barbarian soldiers are full of motivation one by one.

There is hope in life, that person is even more spiritual, for the barbarian soldiers, the current life is simply happy, not only the barbarian people feel happy, but also the people of Cold Bone City feel happy.

Now the people of Cold Bone City are embarrassed to go out without a single gold coin in their hands.
