75 Seventy-five: One more mountain
"Patriarch, I'm sorry I'm ignorant!" Su Xian watched as Congcong was also damaged by this Jinping, and the two of them howled one after another, one said, "I don't dare to sit down", and the other kept waving his hand: "It's me who is ignorant, it's me who is ignorant!"
What the hell is this?!
Su Xian felt that he was letting these two guys quarrel like this, so he would have a nervous breakdown, only to see his tiger body slap and slap: "Shut up!"
The two of them were as quiet as chickens.
Su Xian said: "Congcong, you should actually change your name to cowardice." β
Congcong hesitated: "I call Congcong because when I haven't opened my spiritual intelligence, the voice is 'Congcong', but if the patriarch wants to change my name, it's not impossible......"
He looked at Su Xian with dog eyes again, as if Su Xian had changed his name, he would recognize Su Xian as his master.
The dog's personality is really heavy from the body, and in the end it is still very cute, if Su Xian is a girl, it is estimated that he will be tempted.
You see, he has good facial features, although he has a little stubble but it looks more tender, he has fluffy dog ears on his head, he is tall and always very restrained, he doesn't look aggressive, and he is a good pet for home travel!
However, Su Xian is a man, and he looks at Su Xian with that pitiful look.
Su Xian shuddered: "Cong Cong is very good, you don't need to change it, I said that you are instigating...... Alas, it's okay if you don't understand. β
Congcong said very meekly: "Then my nickname is cowardice." β
Su Xian: "......"
You're so stupid and cute, do you know that you're numb_(:3γβ )_
However, no matter how cute he is, he is no longer the protagonist from now on, and the current protagonist is the new Jinping, and Su Xian still has to ask him about the situation of Kakushiyama.
Su Xian asked, "Jinping, how many people are there in your mountain?"
Jinping was scared at first, but Su Xian was gentle and amiable after all, much better than the Dragon Slave Clan and the Dragon Head Monsters. He only felt that this Su Xian patriarch seemed to understand his difficulties, and told him everything he knew about Su Xian's problem.
"There were twenty-eight men on the mountain, fifteen women and thirteen men. We didn't actually have a patriarch before, I was pushed out by them yesterday...... There were no children on the mountain, because the little dragon gods were too harsh in the past, and there were a few little dolls, and in the end they starved to death without feeding. β
Although he said it very plainly, there was actually a lot of sadness in his tone. Because most of the people in Dongshan District are a little cowardly, they can't come up with doctrines to overthrow the rule of their "little dragon gods", and because these little dragon gods are too fierce, some people in Dongshan District are even more cowardly.
It's a vicious circle, and it's hard to change it if it weren't for external forces.
β...... There is a strange phenomenon in Mt. Kakuta, that is, there are months of no rain every year, so our millet harvest is not good. However, there is a stream at the bottom of the mountain, and we really can't stand it anymore, so we will secretly go down the mountain to catch two fish to eat, which must be done secretly, and no one can find out, otherwise the fish will be robbed. β
"Huh?" Su Xian was surprised instead, he originally thought that the people on the head of Geshan had become a coward, and they didn't dare to hunt wild food, and the people on this mountain-shaped mountain were not as good as them. As a result, it is now found that the people on the mountain may not be so hopeless, and they still have the courage to fight when facing life and death difficulties.
In this way, there is still salvation, Su Xian said, "Now there are two ways to arrange for you. β
Jinping hurriedly listened carefully to what Su Xian said. In fact, as long as Su Xian is not as good at looting as the dragon head monsters, and can leave something for every year, this is already good. He remembered what his people had said before he came, and his heart felt a little bitter.
"Jinping, as long as the patriarch's request is not too much, you will obey him!"
It's weird and good_(:3γβ )_ and as long as it's not too much, he's too much, what else do you have to resist?
Su Xian didn't think about what Jinping was thinking about in front of him, but just said his arrangement: "One is that just like them, we will distribute two rabbits, and then teach you to build a house and build a granary." The second way is to simply join Katsura Shan Shou and Mt. Ryori, as you also say that there are often droughts on the mountain for no reason, and it is really not suitable for survival. I also suggest that you choose the second one. β
Jinpei looked petrified.
"Patriarch, patriarch, you...... How much does it cost each year?"
Su Xian thought for a moment: "We don't call it tribute here, we call it tax collection." This year is the first year that I have taken over Dongshan District, and I also know that everyone is having a hard time because of the dragon head monster, so I don't have to pay taxes this year. Specifically, the grain will be handed over next autumn, and everyone will have a year as a pranayama. β
Taxation is also something that every big clan patriarch must consider. Su Xian and Jinping have both said that they will have to pay taxes from next year, and they both feel that Su Xian's taxes are much less than those of the dragon head monster, and they can accept it very happily.
All Su Xian asked for was to come according to the head, for a year, this kind of small clan of twenty or thirty people would pay a total of one piece of linen every year, and if it was upgraded to fifty or sixty people, it would take two horses, and the people mentioned here were people over sixteen years old, and children under the age of one did not need to be counted.
According to the reason, weights and measures are unified by Qin Shi Huang, so now no one knows the specific horse, how long a zhang is, Su Xian checked the information and found that there is indeed a big gap between Xishan District and Dongshan District in this regard, of course, the people on each mountain have different understandings of these units, not to mention that many small clans do not have the concept of weights and measures at all.
For example, in Dongshan District, the cloth is measured by horses, but the length of "horses" ranges from 27 meters to 34 meters, which means that the understanding of a horse on the top of Cao Xi Mountain and Mengzi Mountain is different, and the error can be as big as seven meters, which is outrageous.
Su Xian said the concept of "Pi", whether it was the previous Jinjin Jinshi or Jinping, they were all stunned for a moment, and they didn't seem to have heard the word at all.
"What is a horse, and how long is a horse?"
Su Xian was also puzzled, thinking to himself how the dragon head monster collected your things before? Didn't he say how many pieces of cloth a clan would hand over?
If the flax on Jinjin and Jinshi is not good, they can't pay for linen at all, so forget it, Su Xian asked them if they couldn't ask why. Now when I asked Imaishi, Imaishi scratched his head and said, "When the adults of the Dragon Nu clan come, they don't say how many things they want to take, they usually take all the things. β
Su Xian: "......"
It turns out that because the head of Lishan and Geshan is small, and they are on the edge, the dragon head monster is already relatively lenient to them, and the interior of Dongshan District is the hardest hit area.
He began to talk about the two paths proposed by Su Xian again, but he raised his hand weakly from the side and said, "I seem to know why the mountain is dry. β
"Huh?" both Jinping and Su Hyun turned their heads to look at him, and from never being looked at like this, they immediately turned into cowardice again. He bent his neck and shoulders and flattened his mouth, and his throat moved up and down a few times before he could speak: "There is a fairy beast called a mooster on the mountain, and his body is the body of a bird and the tail of a mouse. I also know him because he is on a mountain, and he seems to have the ability to make an area dry and not rain...... Therefore, he only comes out for a few months every year, and spends the rest of his time cultivating, wanting to improve his cultivation to suppress his ability, those months are to come out to absorb aura, not to deliberately harm others. β
Su Xian looked at Congcong's cowardice and understood: "Do you know him?
From raising his eyelids to look at Su Xian, he quickly lowered it, as if he felt that it was very disgraceful to "betray" his friend in this situation, or maybe he was sorry for Jinping because he was racking his brains to help his friend speak: "I hid in the cave before, and he often took care of me." Every year during the months when he came out to absorb the aura, he would send me something to eat. β
He looked at Jinping pleadingly: "It's really not intentional to let the mountain be arid, I'll help you hunt in the future and make up for it?"
Su Xian thought to himself that you were really kind-hearted, obviously the disaster was caused by rats, but you were willing to help him get the credit.
Jinping is even more embarrassed than Congcong, although he was elected to be the patriarch, but he has no rights, now he can't say anything, we accept your merits, we will forgive the rat He didn't mean to make trouble, so he had to say nothing: "When I go back, I will discuss with the people in the clan, and I will help you say good things." β
From nature is a thousand thanks.
In the end, Jin Ping decided not to move, now that he knew what the cause of the drought was, and the taxes that Su Xian asked for were relatively small, he felt that their clan had already taken root in the Kaku-shaped Mountain, and he was not capable of making a change for the whole clan.
And it's to join the head of Kazuyama who I don't know at all and the particularly ferocious Mt. Ryori _(:3γβ )_ and don't have that courage.γ
So Jinping left, and also left two rabbits, Su Xian felt that the rabbits would soon be in short supply, and as a result, news came from Yushan, saying that rabbits were particularly capable of giving birth! There were litters of food and drink, and there were people to take care of the rabbits. Generally, the rabbits have survived, and they are not as difficult to feed as the wild rabbits outside, and the mother rabbit dies without seeing the rabbits at a glance, and these rabbits thrive and survive and start to give birth again.
Rabbits are one of the most fertile races.
Pheasants are also very good at laying eggs, but the baby pheasants hatch out because the weather is really cold, and there are more deaths, and some of the survivors are raised, and gradually it has become the climate.
From the end to the end, he still couldn't go back immediately to make up for his work, and he was caught by Su Xian and went to Yushan to look for the mole with the rat he brought.
Hearing the name Su Xian, he thought that he would be a cowering middle-aged image, after all, the mouse has always had a sense of obscenity, but as a result, he transformed into a human form, but it was a young man who looked very cold, he was different from Qin Yuan's arrogance, and he was the only fairy beast that Su Xian had seen at present who had turned into a human form and would take the initiative to wear clothes.
Yes, although it will cause a great drought, he does not take the initiative to harm others, but tries hard to find a way to suppress his ability, so he has merit.
"If you have taken human form, how can you not wear human clothes? The rat said coldly.
Cong: "I didn't know it at first. β
Su Xian felt that the coldness of the mooper was completely different from Qin Yuan's arrogance, the mooper was a person with a peculiar righteousness, he seemed to be very self-disciplined, and he knew very well what he wanted to do and what he didn't want to do. His arrogance is also due to the fact that he is not accustomed to many undisciplined people, and thinks that they are "mediocre and inactive".
Of course, the mooster didn't say something unflattering all the time, and it seemed that he knew very well that he was going to join Su Xian's clan, so he showed his gentle side just right.
- But it's not so gentle_(:3γβ )_
The squirrel is also the only one whose appearance does not belong to the category of handsome, his appearance is more ordinary than that of Dijiang, and of course he is not ugly. However, after he gives people a peculiar sense of self-discipline and responsibility, others will notice his temperament rather than his face first.
Su Xian felt that this was just right, and the rat definitely didn't want to be famous with a face.
The two of them packed and sent it to Yushan for the study of the earth mole, although the arid attribute of the rat was very bitter, but Su Xian felt that the earth mole would definitely be able to study something. And it's winter now, a little less rain and snow is nothing, and the rats can spend this winter happily.
Su Xian wanted to continue to be the shopkeeper, and he found the benefits of being the patriarch of a big clan. In the past, when he was in Yinshan, he had just been elected, and he had to go in person to communicate with the Jishui clan, but now, when it develops, he can send diplomats.
Of course, a big clan like the Jishui clan still has to give face, and he still has to go over in person, but he has changed from being alone to being able to bring a few bodyguards.
Jinjin is very good as a diplomat, Dijiang Shaozheng is already able to take charge on his own, and Shaoxi is now also very good at mixing in several clans, and he can do nothing just by looking at him......
That's a dream_(:3γβ )_
Something happened on Cao Xi Mountain. It was not the right time for Jin Jin and Dijiang to go, and it happened that the Longnu clan went there to inspect again. The Dragon Nu clan does not allow these large and small clans to communicate with each other, and when I went up the mountain today, I forgot to investigate first, and it happened to be discovered.
is also because he is confident now and not as sneaky as before.
As soon as Jin Jin went up the mountain, he saw a beautifully dressed member of the Dragon Slave Clan holding a β‘β‘ with a stone spear head pointing at him, and this person's expression was full of disdain and disdain: "Who are you? What are you doing in Cao Xishan?"
Jin Jin whispered to Di Jiang: "This is from the Longnu clan. β
Di Jiang had seen the dragon head monster, and he was also dressed very brightly, and now when he saw this guy from the dragon slave clan, he couldn't help but sigh: "It's the same urine sex as their master." β
The two of them talked like no one else, which angered the guys of the Dragon Nu clan very much, and the stone spear was about to poke Jin Jin's face as soon as he handed it forward: "Question! Hurry up and answer!"
I said that we were ordered to subdue the Cao Xishan clan, do you believe it?
Rao is IQ is not low, and he didn't immediately think of what to say in this situation, and after thinking for a while, he replied slowly: "We came from the Oak Mountain, and everyone has no food or drink, let's see if we can borrow some." β
He can't say that he came from Geshanshou, because the people in Dongshan District now think that the whole clan of Geshanshou has fled to Xishan District, and he can't say that he came from Caili Mountain, and the people on Caili Mountain are all five big and three rough...... He looks different from other people's painting styles.
As a result, the people of the Dragon Slave clan sneered: "Bold! Dare to lie, you are from the Xishan District!"
"You look like a person from Dongshan District, but this guy behind you, with fair skin and skin, looks tall and raised by good mountains and good water, how can you be a person from Dongshan District?
"...... Dijiang exposes his identity, this is your pot. β
Di Jiang: "_(:3γβ )_ I just didn't expect that being good-looking would be a disaster." β
The next thing was even more unlucky, and now his identity was revealed, and someone in the Longnu clan recognized him as the head of Geshan. The people of Geshanshou are now all enemies, they are the enemies of Xiaolongshen, Cao Xishan has a relationship with him, and he will be punished, so under the hostility of the patriarch of Cao Xishan, under the sympathetic eyes of the people up and down Cao Xishan, Jinjin and Dijiang went down the mountain in ashes.
Di Jiang said leisurely: "Actually, if I wanted to, I would have been able to subdue them all just now, and I would have guaranteed that no one would be injured." β
That's right, isn't it proper for Dijiang to rectify mortals, but Jin Jin can't really let him do it.
"If we do that, our reputation will be ruined, and the patriarch will be said to be a bully, and even if it is good for them in the future, it will also sow the seeds of unease." Therefore, we have to take our time, you can see that the patriarch of Cao Xishan just now looked at us with hostility and panic, if he is a good patriarch and there is actually a contradiction with the dragon head monster, then where does the hostility come from? Where does the panic come from? Qin Yuan is right, this patriarch is in league with the dragon head monster dragon slave clan. β
Di Jiang nodded and didn't speak, although Jin Jin was talking, he didn't look at him either. In fact, I mainly want to find someone to help sort out my thinking, which happens to be Dijiang. He continued: "Patriarch Cao Xishan has a bad character, and he must know more things as a patriarch than ordinary people - the dragon head monsters are dead, and the news should spread slowly, and it would be too careless to kill the dragon head monster that day without leaving any evidence. However, we can imitate it, and we can make it the same as the clothes worn by the dragon head monsters by dyeing it, and throw some blood and dirt on the mountain of the dragon slave clan to make them believe that the dragon head monster is actually dead, and there was also a person from the dragon slave clan on the mountain before, and he should have reported the news when he went back, but no one believed it at that time. β
"Such bad news keeps coming, and if the dragon head monsters don't go back, they will gradually believe it, but in order to rule Dongshan District, they will definitely not say it, but will call a few big patriarchs to discuss this matter together......"
The more I talk about it today, the more energetic it becomes, as if my brain has been opened up a way, and my IQ has reached a new height. Di Jiang was very puzzled: "Since the dragon head monsters are all dead, forget about them, the people of the dragon slave clan, why should those big clan patriarchs listen to them? Wouldn't it be more comfortable to be able to set himself up as a king and govern the clan by himself, without being controlled by others?"
Jin Jin said: "No, they have a handle in the hands of the people of the Dragon Slave Clan, you forgot that they have all hidden food finances before, and the people of the Dragon Slave Clan know this." β
Di Jiang said: "I just can't understand, this kind of private finance actually doesn't dare to use, and it can't be disclosed to others secretly, and as a result, someone caught it, why bother?"
I didn't understand what kind of mentality this was, so I had to say, "Maybe some people just like to collect financial reports, so even if you don't use them, you have to hide them." β
They went back to Geshanshou and told Su Xian about the matter, and Su Xian sighed at the greed of the patriarchs: "Oh, these stupid humans. β
Speak as if you're not humanβ_β
"Your idea is very good, in the past few days, I will slowly tell them the news that the dragon head monster is dead, and if it really doesn't work, go dig the graves of those dragon head monsters and throw the corpses over. β
Everyone thinks that Su Xian, you are too cruel.
Of course, it's impossible to do such a thing.,Now people still have more respect for corpses_(:3γβ )_ In the end, it is to use the idea of Jinjin to imitate the clothes of the dragon head monster. But how to attract the people of the Dragon Nu clan and a few patriarchs to show their feet? Su Xian thought for a while: "You don't know, Qin Yuan said before that there are not only mountain gods like dragon head monsters in this Dongshan District, but there is also another group, but they have been suppressed before. β
"If we can communicate with these mountain gods, we will ask them to help put on a big show. Let the people of the Dragon Nu clan deliberately find their whereabouts, the dragon head monster is dead, and they naturally want to find a new 'mountain god' to rule the Dongshan District. And this new mountain god is a little more cowardly, it is very easy to handle, and the Longnu clan is naturally satisfied, thinking that it can sit firmly in the position of the real clan boss who controls Dongshan District. β
Jinjin's eyes lit up: "This is excellent!"
But he became worried: "But what if the new mountain god doesn't listen to us?"
Su Xian smiled, like a little rascal: "They are weaker than the dragon head monster, and they won't be very strong, don't worry, we can win them over." β
Those little mountain gods, if they had ambition and ambition, they would have been on a par with the dragon head monster a long time ago, don't say that the dragon head monster has won over gluttony. Ordinary people don't know that their mountain gods still don't know? As long as this guy has food, anyone can win him over. 166 Reading Network
