Chapter 373: The Current Situation of the Bai Clan
"He, not only encouraged us merchants, but also let the peasants have their own land to plant, under his rule, everyone has food, if he can be the emperor, it will be a blessing for me in China."
"Thinking of him beheading the incompetent emperor at his feet, we have a burst of enthusiasm, the faint king died well, if he doesn't die, my Huaxia is still in the deep water and hot water."
"Brother Jiang, if you can, you can vote for him...... A good army like yours that doesn't offend the people, he will definitely take it in. Speaking of which, I don't know how many times better than you struggling to survive in this poor mountain and bad water! ”
Speaking of this, Ji Dongcheng's eyes were full of yearning, and the pride on his face made him feel as if he was proud and proud that there was that person in Huaxia!
When Jiang Chao heard this, he glanced at Luo Ningshuang, and his face showed a different meaning, Luo Ningshuang already knew who Ji Dongcheng in front of him was talking about.
"Boss Ji, you're talking about that young man named Jiang Chao from Ningzhou Mansion." Luo Ningshuang glanced at Jiang Chao teasingly and looked at Ji Dongcheng Road.
"That's not it, Miss Luo knows Grandpa Jiang!!" When the boss Ji Dongcheng heard this, he immediately became interested.
"I don't just know, I still know Grandpa Jiang." Luo Ningshuang hurriedly said with a smile. It's just that when she heard what she said in Ji Dongcheng's ears, she didn't think what she said was true.
After all, after a person has been in Shudi for so long, how long has it been since something happened outside?! If he hadn't traveled to Ningzhou Mansion as a businessman, he was afraid that he would not have known about Jiang Chao.
It is possible that Luo Ningshuang has heard Jiang Chao's name, saying that she knows Jiang Chao, how is it possible!
"Miss Luo, you really know how to laugh, if you know Grandpa Jiang, then I am still a relative of Grandpa Jiang!" Ji Dongcheng's tone was joking.
When the surrounding special combat team members heard this, they all looked at Ji Dongcheng meaningfully. Fortunately, everyone's eyes quickly shifted, otherwise, I was afraid that Ji Dongcheng would see something.
"I'm kidding you, I'm kidding!" Luo Ningshuang saw Jiang Chao glaring at her, and hurriedly explained to Ji Dongcheng with a smile.
And just as everyone was joking, the front had already arrived at the place where the Bai clan was.
It is a land of mountains with a huge lake of tens of thousands of square meters in the middle. The Bai people relied on the lake to build their houses. There is a valley on the front that enters the Bai tribe.
And the surrounding area is full of Bai houses. The architectural style of the Bai people is similar to that of the Yelang people, using either bamboo or wood.
After all, it is relatively easy to build a house on such a sloping mountain, or a wooden or bamboo house.
However, this kind of construction does not last long, and it has to be renovated or rebuilt every few years. The four huge hills around it almost filled the residence of the Bai people.
If the Bai people themselves add the old and weak women and children, I am afraid that there are eighty or ninety thousand people. However, in the battle of Jiangcheng County, the Bai people lost nearly 10,000 young people.
At this time, when entering the territory of the Bai people, everyone can see that many wooden buildings around are hung with white cloths in front of them. The Bai people I met on the road were also full of sorrow.
Not long after Jiang Chao, Ji Dongcheng, Luo Ningshuang and his party walked into the Bai village, a group of soldiers of the Bai patrol stopped their way in front of them.
The Bai army is not always formed, and it will be dispatched in wartime, and when it is not fighting, they are the labor of each family.
However, patrols like this will still be replaced by the young and strong of the Bai tribe on a regular basis. Except, of course, that the regular army will be disbanded after the Hui clan.
Like the escort army under the seat of the head of the Bai clan, there are thousands of people who will not be disbanded. They guarded Helian Kang's father and son, as well as a number of high-ranking members of the Bai clan.
The patrol team in front of him saw Ji Dongcheng and other hundred-person merchant teams, but they did not check it. The leader of the team seems to know Ji Dongcheng.
"Old Ji, here you go again, Doni is worried, saying that your goods have not been delivered for a long time, and I don't know if something happened to you."
"Alas, on the way here, the first batch of goods encountered a flash flood, and the goods were all compensated, and this is the second batch of goods, so it was more than a month late."
Ji Dongcheng hurriedly explained to the team leader in front of him, the other party nodded, and hurriedly let him go!
"Let's go...... Everyone is waiting for your shipment. By the way, this time the fine salt is too much! The head man's fine salt is about to run out, speaking of which, if the head man hadn't been in the village all the time, it is estimated that Doni would have been unlucky! ”
When Ji Dongcheng heard this, he nodded, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I brought a lot of fine salt this time." Doni won't be disappointed. ”
The fine salt that the other party is talking about is the new salt made by Jiang Chao with new technology. Compared with the coarseness of ancient salt, there is also bitterness. The taste of fine salt quickly made it a favorite.
If it was before, it was strictly forbidden to sell illicit salt. However, since Jiang Chao took control of Ningzhou, fine salt has also been sold to the public.
As for the follow-up people speculating on the price of salt in other places, that's someone else's business. In Ningzhou Province, the price of fine salt has always been stable.
In addition to the fact that there is no shortage of fine salt, it is also because the river tide has always controlled the price of salt. Private salt speculation is not allowed.
Hearing Ji Dongcheng say that he had brought a lot of fine salt, the team leader hurriedly said, "Remember to ask Doni to leave me some ......"
Ji Dongcheng nodded to the other party, and the team leader nodded with satisfaction and left with his patrolmen. They didn't even check Ji Dongcheng.
Although the Bai people built an army, their model still stays in the mode of the clan, forming an army in wartime and disbanding in peacetime! Because, because of the topography here.
They didn't think there would be any army that could come here. With the strength of their Bai clan, even thousands of troops can really come in.
But once the war starts, the Bai people will definitely be able to organize an effective counterattack, and those thousands of people coming in will be equivalent to delivering food.
Moreover, there are Bai people all around, and thousands of troops coming in will definitely make them find out. They can even do it at ease.
Therefore, among the Bai people, it is almost the same as being undefended. For the caravan of more than 100 people in front of them, they didn't even feel threatened.
When Jiang Chao saw this scene, the corners of his mouth hooked slightly. It seems that his beheading plan will not be too difficult.
Ji Dongcheng took Jiang Chao and a hundred other special combat team members to the middle of the mountain on the right. There are many roads in this place, and they extend in all directions. It seems that the Bai people have not been here for a short time.
Moreover, in this area where the Bai people live, the buildings of each wooden house are scattered. It looks like there's something else going on.
Along the way, you will often pass in front of some Bai people. Some people have white cloths hanging in front of their homes, and the sound of crying can be heard inside.
Among them, Jiang Chao saw a woman lying on her stomach at the door crying. Kneeling beside him were several young children who were only a few years old.
