Chapter 262: To get rich, build a road first

The food brought by Ye Xuan entered the granary of Xuan Kui, and the stone in Xuan Kui's heart really fell.

This huge granary, if Luoshan was persuaded by her, Xuankui would not show it to him, and the grain to be traded with the mountain tribe had already been placed in other granaries in the stockade.

After delivering the grain, Ye Xuan was invited to Qin Shuhuang's room in the bamboo building.

Qin Shuhuang personally poured tea for Ye Xuan, who was sitting opposite, Ye Xuan hurriedly thanked him, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Although this tea is not a famous product of Dawu, it is just an ordinary moon tea in the southern Xinjiang village, but Ye Xuan also feels that this tea is particularly delicious.

"What did Mr. Ye find on the way to southern Xinjiang?"

The second one was twice as much grain as the first, and it was even more difficult, and if it weren't for the retreat of Quang Nam's army, it would have been difficult for them not to show their feet.

After these two errands of transporting grain, Ye Xuan did have a lot to say to Qin Shuhuang.

He thought for a while, twisted his eyebrows and said, "Back to Your Highness, transporting grain into southern Xinjiang is even more difficult than I thought before. The mountain roads in southern Xinjiang are difficult to walk, and on this trip to transport grain, I only left Clumsy Jing with ten people to guard in Guangnan, and the rest of the caravan men were all taken by me. Normally, these people could carry five times as much food as they do now. On the way, two guys broke their legs while climbing the mountain road, three guys suffered from heat stroke, and one man did not walk steadily on the mountain road, fell down, and died on the spot...... If the conditions are still like this, we will not be able to do the business of selling grain in southern Xinjiang for a long time. ”

When he entered southern Xinjiang from Guangnan before, Qin Shuhuang also noticed these problems.

The climate of southern Xinjiang is humid all year round, and there is no cold time at all, as long as the people here are diligent and the climate is not as dry as this year, there is no shortage of grain in southern Xinjiang of Guangnan, and there is even surplus grain for takeaway.

What they really lack is not food, but salt, cloth, farming tools and other daily necessities.

And the reason for this situation is also because of the climate and location of southern Xinjiang.

If you really want to connect southern Xinjiang with the outside world and become a real county of Dawu, what you need is a road! A way to transport the output of southern Xinjiang!

As long as there is this road connecting the inside and outside, so that southern Xinjiang is no longer closed, with the various outputs of southern Xinjiang, it will definitely be richer than Guangnan!

Qin Shuhuang stared at Ye Xuan and said with a smile, "What does Mr. Ye think?" ”

Ye Xuan thought for a while and said solemnly: "The grain trade with Southern Xinjiang is not a long-term solution, but all kinds of medicinal materials produced in Southern Xinjiang are superb, as long as they can be shipped out, there will be huge profits!" I thought that when the days of food shortage in southern Xinjiang were over, let people transport some sugar, salt, cloth, condiments and exchange medicinal materials in southern Xinjiang, these things are already light and more expensive than grain, and it will be much more convenient to communicate with each other. It's just that I'm afraid that the salt will bother His Highness. ”

Ye Xuan had already seen the business opportunities in Southern Xinjiang, and Qin Shuhuang agreed with him.

"Salt is fine." There is a salt field in the Xu family's station, although it is not the best salt of Dawu, but it is also a good quality bamboo salt, which is the most suitable for doing business with southern Xinjiang.

There are not many people in southern Xinjiang, and the salt field under the jurisdiction of the Xu family can still take out this bit of salt.

Qin Shuhuang continued: "I don't have any other requirements, I just ask Mr. Ye to use the silver he earned from doing business with Southern Xinjiang to build roads!" Build the road from southern Xinjiang to the outside! I'll discuss this with Toast, and I'm sure she won't stop it. ”

Hearing Qin Shuhuang say this, Ye Xuan's eyes had a look of surprise, and he trembled his hands slightly and said, "Your Highness, have you thought about it?" It's a costly road! ”

In the past three years, all the money earned from doing business with southern Xinjiang has been invested, and this road may not be repaired...... Most likely, it will take ten or eight years!

It's a thankless task until it's built!

Qin Shuhuang raised the corners of his mouth, "This palace has made up its mind!" ”

The cost will not be as terrible as Ye Xuan thought, besides, what she really wants to pit is the Beidi people, and if the trade road with Beidi is built, there will be a steady stream of wealth flowing into Dawu, and when the time comes, the money from doing business with the Beidi people will be used to subsidize the road to southern Xinjiang.

It won't take three years, it will be completed in two years, and as long as this road is completed, southern Xinjiang will be able to compete with Guangnan, or even stronger than Guangnan!

Qin Shuhuang said this, Ye Xuan no longer persuaded and didn't want to persuade, he really wanted to see what kind of prosperity this road to southern Xinjiang would be after it was completed.

Liuye Xuan and his caravan had lunch in the stockade, and Ye Xuan led people to leave the southern Xinjiang village with the herbs given by Xuankui.

In the evening, the tribesmen guarding the village in southern Xinjiang hurriedly came to report to Xuankui, saying that it was the Tusi of the Mountain Tribes and the Jinshui Tribes asking to see them!

Rao is dayly, he was ready to come back from Luoshan, but he didn't expect that he was still carrying the Toast Jinquan of the Golden Water Clan!

"How many people did they bring?"

"There are about forty people in total, all of them are men, carrying sacks and pushing wheelbarrows behind them, I have taken someone to check it, except for a few scimitars for self-defense, there are no other weapons."

There are only more than 40 people, so they are not here to find fault, there are tens of thousands of people in the old, weak, sick and disabled villages in southern Xinjiang.

There is nothing to be afraid of when people enter the stockade.

Qin Shuhuang and Xie Xuanye all entered a room in the bamboo building in advance when they heard this.

After a while, Xuan Kui will take these two toasts to the next room to negotiate, the bamboo building is generally soundproof, they can fully understand what Xuan Kui and the two toasts said next door, not to mention that the bamboo wall also has two special eyelets, and when needed, you can see the scene next door through this eyelet.

This was discussed between Qin Shuhuang and Xuankui.

Luoshan and Jinquan were brought into the stockade in southern Xinjiang, and after two days, Luoshan found that the stockade in southern Xinjiang had become more vibrant.

Although many young people died in the battle with various ethnic groups in Guangnan, and many bamboo buildings still had white cloths hanging on them, the southern Xinjiang people who met on the road were in good spirits, and many of them carried bamboo baskets full of herbs back to the village.

Children laughed in the village, smoke curled from the cooking, and the smell of various grains came from time to time.

These are not seen in the current mountain tribe and the golden water tribe.

After this year's drought, when the tribesmen returned to the village, the most of the baskets were all kinds of wild vegetables picked in the mountains...... When I got home, I boiled wild vegetables in clean water, and added a little grain, a big pot of wild vegetables, a small handful of grain, and a bowl of vegetable porridge that might not even be able to see a grain of rice.

The faces of the tribesmen were all sallow.

Thinking of this, the two cousins walked a little faster, and they couldn't wait to go to the Lylylump now to see what the Lyrock could sell them.

Xuan Kui entertained the two, and after sincere negotiation, the conditions were no different from what Luo Shan said to Jinquan when he went back before.

At this point, Luoshan and Jinquan still have nothing to agree to.

hurriedly urged the daylyhock to take them to see the food they could buy.

Standing in the warehouse, looking at the neat grain of the generation code, Luoshan Jinquan was ecstatic.

After Luoshan Jinquan exchanged the market price of Ningshui for grain, he almost drooled with envy when he saw that there was still most of the grain left in the warehouse of Xuankui.

Xuankui said: "You have also seen that my food here is also limited, and if other toasts come late, they will be gone." The Duhu Mansion has already set its sights on the Liu family in Guangnan, once the Duhu Mansion has the upper hand, my remaining grain will no longer be the price of Ningshui, if you can persuade other toasts to cooperate, come one, and I will share with you one percent of the profits obtained from selling the grain to this toast. ”

"Really?" Luoshan and Jinquan were surprised in unison.

"Shall we ask for food without money?"

Angela replied in the affirmative, "Yes!" ”
