Yan Rong's huge harvest made the other major village owners who were watching from the sidelines moved, and they kept thinking about what they could use to impress Qin Tian.

Wu Sheng, Xiong Ba, Jiang Di and others first proposed to supply some grain to Hanquan Ling, but Qin Tian had already obtained a large amount of grain, and the demand for food was not as urgent as before, so he only agreed to exchange cold iron for food, which made Wusheng, Xiong Ba, and Jiang Di very disappointed.

However, the treacherous and slippery Kou Liang found a different way, and after he came to the Cold Spring Collar, he has been paying attention to the situation here. He found that although the Cold Spring Territory was quite powerful, it had a key flaw, that is, the population here was insufficient, and the ratio of men and women was seriously imbalanced, so he proposed to use the population to exchange Xuantie with Qin Tian.

Hearing his strange proposal, Qin Tian was stunned for a moment, isn't this human trafficking?

Just as Qin Tian was stunned, Ram Shen and Fat Man Yan Qiu agreed to Kou Liang's proposal almost at the same time.

This defect of the Cold Spring Collar was discovered very early by Ram Shen, as the head of the place, although he couldn't think of a way to increase the population. For example, let some people recruit relatives and friends who are scattered, or recruit some refugees who have been displaced to escape the war. However, these measures are only a drop in the bucket and do not solve the fundamental problem. Now that Kou Liang's proposal was in his hands, he immediately nodded in agreement.

The fat man Yan Qiu also discovered this problem, and the energetic guys in his troops always couldn't help but talk about some topics about women when they were resting, which made other people itch one by one.

Although the fat man has increased the training method, so that these guys have no energy to think about it anymore, but this method can only relieve the symptoms but not the root cause, and can only relieve the symptoms but not solve the root problem. So when Kou Liang made this suggestion, he also nodded in agreement.

Seeing Ram Shen and Yan Qiu's reactions, Qin Tian finally realized the seriousness of the problem. Now the Cold Spring Territory has a population of about 10,000, although the expanded Cold Spring Territory can fully accommodate more than 100,000 people. But Qin Tian never had a sense of urgency in this regard, and did not realize the serious problems caused by the imbalance of population. Only then did he know that the problem really needed to be solved in time.

So in the end, Qin Tian also nodded and agreed to Kou Liang's proposal, but he also put forward some requirements, mainly that the population provided by Kou Liang must be voluntary, and people cannot be captured by burning, killing, and looting, otherwise after these people arrive here, they will not only not be good for them if they flee for three days, but will be a lot more burdensome.

Qin Tian clarified the way of trading, the population provided by Kou Liang had to go through the separate assessment of the Cold Spring Collar, and there was no problem before trading. If there is a problem, then refuse to trade, Qin Tian's principle is to rather have less than more.

Regarding the almost harsh requirements of the Cold Spring Collar, Kou Liang was not too worried. In this troubled era, there are still many people wandering in hunger and danger, if there is such a relatively warm and safe place as Hanquan Ling, he believes that there will still be many people who are moved, so he agreed to Qin Tian's request without hesitation.

Seeing this, Wu Sheng, Xiong Ba, and Jiang Di also said that they could trade with Hanquan Ling on the same terms, and Qin Tian also agreed to them one by one, and in the end, even Yan Rong couldn't help but join this deal, after all, no one would think that the treasures on hand were too hot.

The various transactions with the Shanzhai Alliance are very necessary for the Cold Spring Leader. Through these transactions, the major cottages and the Cold Spring Collar have formed a de facto chain of interests, transforming the relationship between the two sides from the original hostile state to the current de facto alliance state, so that the Cold Spring Collar has less of a group of big enemies and more of a group of helpers.

In the main residence of the Cai family in Cai Yi City, Cai Yong was sulking in his study, and in this battle, the Cai family not only lost the most important Cold Spring mining area, but also put the entire monk elder group into it. For this reason, many people in the family have great opinions about him, and even Cai Heyan, the city guard who has always been respectful to him, actually dares to treat him without pretense, which makes Cai Yong, who has always been high, how can he bear it.

"Dad, you are discouraged! The fault of this defeat is not yours. It's all to blame Cai Hezhong for the incompetence of that old guy and the loss of the mining area, otherwise he wouldn't have let a group of Xiaoxiao take advantage of it. Cai Zhen cautiously persuaded his father.

Cai Yong glanced at his only son, then took a sip of tea, then calmed down a little, and said, "Hmph! Do you think I'm angry about the occupation of the mining area?"

"Uh, my father wasn't angry about this, could it be because of the matter of the Elder Corps?" Cai Zhen asked with some uncertainty.

"Cai Evil Lao Er has always been fighting with me openly and secretly, although I am a little heartbroken by the fall of the elder group, but it is not enough to make me so angry. ”

"Then father, why is that?"

"Why? Hmph!" Cai Yong sneered and looked out the window and said: "I'm angry because my Cai family has suffered such a big loss, and the people in the family don't want to unite to fight the enemy together, but they make some small moves behind the back, trying to pull me down from the position of the head of the family." ”

"What? Who has the audacity?" Cai Zhen asked in disbelief, he really couldn't think of anyone else who would dare to think like this.

"Hmph, who?" Cai Yong laughed coldly, a fierce look flashed on his face, and he gritted his teeth and said coldly: "It doesn't matter who it is! Anyway, people who are dying don't need to let others know." ”

Seeing the grim expression on his father's face, Cai Zhen was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak, so he could only shrink aside and pretend to be a quail.

After Cai Yong finished speaking, he found out about his son's abnormality, the disappointment in his eyes flashed, and then he said to him: "You have been preparing well recently, your grandfather will come back in a while, don't be embarrassed in front of your grandfather, he hates cowardly people the most, do you understand?"

"Ahh He's back to deal with the people in the mining area?" Cai Zhen asked with a shocked expression.

"Not only the gang in the mining area, but even the gang in Heishizhai must be disposed of together!" Cai Yong's face became more and more ruthless, and the fierce color in his eyes appeared frequently, obviously even Yan Rong and the others hated it.

"But... But... Doesn't it mean that the monks who have built the foundation and cultivated above cannot participate in the struggle among mortals? Grandpa is a real person in the early stage of Jindan! Could it be? Cai Zhen asked with a trembling face.

"Do you want to say that the law enforcement team is here? Hmph! Now that the troubled times are approaching, they are busy! As long as we move quickly and don't leave any handles, then even if the law enforcement team knows that we did it, what can they do?" Cai Yong sneered proudly, he knew the situation of the law enforcement team very well, it was not a monolith, there was a lot of room for activities.

"Oh! That's right, will the other Foundation Building Stage elders come back together?" Cai Zhen seemed to think of something, so he asked.

"Of course, my Cai clan has suffered such a heavy loss this time, and many things have been involved, so naturally the elders of the foundation building period need to come back and deal with it. Cai Yong had already sensed what Cai Zhen was thinking, so he continued: "Don't worry, as long as your grandfather is still alive for a day, what can other foundation building elders do if they have opinions? This world looks at strength, his father is just a monk in the late stage of foundation building, and he can't shake your grandfather's status." ”

"Then shall we take this opportunity to take him as well ... Cai Zhen's face also showed a hint of cruelty, and he licked his lips and asked.

"Hmph, it's up to your grandfather to decide what to do with it. You don't have to act privately, his woman's mother's side still has some strength. Cai Yong warned his son, who had more than enough success and more than failure, that he didn't want Cai Zhen to do stupid things recklessly, so as to startle the snake.

"Yes, I know! Father!" After Cai Zhen was reprimanded by Cai Yong, the person withered, and he hurriedly bowed his head and responded.

"Well, you go back first! Prepare well, don't be ashamed!"

After sending Cai Zhen away, Cai Yong sat back on the chair and pretended to sleep, and from his ever-changing face, it could be seen that his heart was not at peace.

Cai Zong drove his flying boat, taking the other eight elders of the Cai clan in the foundation building period, and flew towards the Xizhou Continent all the way.

His face was serious, the news from Cai Yong made him feel very bad, he didn't expect Cai's troops to be so erosive. It was a big joke that a mere group of copycat bandits and a group of miners could defeat them miserably, and also wipe out the remaining Qi Refining Stage Elder Regiment.

If this matter spreads, it will definitely become the laughing stock of the entire cultivation world, how can this not make him feel bad?

The flying boat pierced the sky like a meteor, flying straight all the way in the direction of Caiyi on the Xizhou Continent. The atmosphere inside the flying boat was very oppressive, and Cai Zong's bad mood also infected the eight Zhuji elders in the boat.

As a monk in the foundation building period and a strategic force of the Cai clan, these elders usually have a huge shelf, but now they have chosen to be silent one by one, they all look at their noses and noses, and they look like they are meditating on cultivation, and no one dares to touch Cai Zong's moldy head at this time.

The flying boat is a magic weapon specially used for long-distance flight, and because of its complexity and high-quality materials, its value is very high, and it is not something that ordinary monks can have.

This flying boat is a treasure that took the entire Cai family's savings for many years to buy from a special channel, so it is the common property of the entire Cai family. Since the Cai clan now only has Cai Zong, the only real person in the Jindan period, this flying boat is temporarily kept and used by Cai Zong.

Although the flying boat does not have much offensive power, it is extremely fast and its defense is very impressive. Generally, the flying boat controlled by real people in the Jindan period can easily defend against the siege of three real people of the same level. Therefore, this is a coveted treasure for any real person in the Jindan period.
