Chapter 41: The Opening of the Mountain

"Ladies and gentlemen, the harsh winter is about to pass, and today is the most important festival in our Yinren Village - the early Spring Festival. At this time, a tall and thin middle-aged man wearing a striped robe was standing on a square platform erected on one side, and said loudly to the villagers under the platform.

"In Luo Yun Country, shouldn't the most important festival of the year be the Cloud Rest Day?" Yi Xifeng couldn't help but murmur when he heard the words of the middle-aged man on the stage.

Lin Fenghuo glanced at him and explained in a low voice: "In Luoyun Country, apart from our village, it is indeed the most important day of the clouds. But our Yinren Village is no more than the festival of the Sabbath..."

"But the clouds?" Yi Xifeng muttered, but soon his attention was attracted by the words of the middle-aged man on the stage.

The middle-aged man's face is thin, but his voice is extremely loud and deep, which shows that his internal strength is unfathomable, of course, this middle-aged man should have mastered a sonic technique.

Every early Spring Festival, the village will set up a platform in the martial arts arena in the north of the village, and all the young and middle-aged people in the village will participate in this grand event except for the normal patrol and security personnel. As the most solemn celebration of the early Spring Festival, it is naturally the "opening festival" of Yinren Village.

Yinren Village was founded more than 40 years ago, from scratch, it is relying on the surrounding mountains and mountains to support the people, so for the "opening festival" is not only the trend of the villagers of Yinren Village for a rich harvest, but also their tribute and inheritance to the older generation who created Yinren Village in the difficult environment at that time.

After a cold winter of heavy snow to close the mountain, the gathering and hunting on the day of the opening of the mountain festival will be several times or even dozens of times more than usual, some lucky guys, can even pick some precious medicinal materials, or several people partner to hunt some cherished beasts, these things in the opening of the mountain after the festival whether handed over to the village for "tribute", or to the county town of the fallen leaves to sell to the firm, for ordinary people are a lot of income.

For example, at last year's opening festival, someone found a vermilion fruit near Liangchengang in the north of the deciduous forest, and Yi Xifeng spent 80 taels of silver to buy this fruit without saying a word. If it weren't for the heavy snow covering the mountain, such a strange fruit would definitely be occupied by the fierce beasts in the mountains, where would it be this person's turn to take advantage. The vermilion fruit has reached 30 years old, which is longer than the one purchased in Li Chengtao's hands, but the quality is different, but Yi Xifeng used it to make "vegetarian wine", and he didn't plan to resell it, so he bought it.

As for the lucky man who got Zhu Guo by chance, he was naturally overjoyed, he was originally a strong man engaged in it, with a military salary of ten taels a month, plus he went out hunting, and he was full of fifteen taels of silver in a month. This time, a piece of Zhu Guo was sold for eighty taels, which is equivalent to his income for nearly half a year. In fact, he can also hand over this Zhu Guo to the village and exchange it for a "tribute", and when it accumulates to a certain extent, it can be exchanged for some better weapons or utensils, but these are not as affordable as money for a family.

Since Yi Xifeng developed "Qingxin Wine" and "Suxin Wine", his "Qingxin Wine" business has been on the right track in recent years. The two brothers, Zhao Daguang and Zhao Xiaoguang, have gradually developed a business mind in recent years, from the beginning of the daily limit of 400 catties of vegetarian wine, to the current daily limit of 200 catties. And this quantity, is the two brothers, after several run-in practice to finalize the quantity, with the current brewing level of Yi Xifeng, that is, a daily output of 1,000 catties can also be achieved, but scarce is expensive, the daily sale of 200 catties of this amount, for Yinren Village can be just satisfied, but not too flooded. And the price has also increased from the previous 20 wen a catty to 25 wen a catty. Calculated down, a day of Yi Xifeng's Qingxin Liquor House can sell fifty taels of silver of Qingxin wine, excluding the cost, there are about thirty taels that can enter Yi Xifeng's own pocket. In this way, Yi Xifeng's original "medicinal wine cultivation plan" was perfectly achieved, and it successfully transformed Yi Xifeng from a poor and white child to a 10,000 yuan household that can earn 10,000 taels of silver a year.

You must know that in Yinren Village, an ordinary hunter earns one hundred taels of silver a year, a strong man earns two hundred taels of silver for a year, and a guard iron coat earns three hundred taels of silver a year, but most of them go out to complete more important tasks, or go to dangerous places to explore, and there are many opportunities to harvest, and they can also earn thousands of taels of silver in a year.

In addition, some commercial houses or families like Wang Laolangzhong, who have practiced medicine and opened pharmacies for generations, can be overwhelmed in terms of wealth accumulation.

"Then next. The middle-aged man on the stage paused slightly, glanced at the eager young man in the audience, and then secretly used his internal strength, and said loudly with a voice twice as strong as before: "I announce, the opening of the mountain festival, start now!"

........................................................................................................................................................................

"This beast is so cunning!" a tall, muscular man stared fiercely at the dense forest not far away, as he took out a black pill from the belt around his waist, crushed it with great force, and applied it to the hideous wound on his left arm.

"Diao, are you alright?" Behind the big man, a dark-skinned woman was looking at his arm with concern.

"Haha, it's just a hungry bear, and it can't run far. This beast is seriously injured to give me this blow, and I won't live long, let's go, let's chase after it. The big man grinned, and chased after him with his knife.

When the woman saw that the man rushed forward again, she didn't say much, fastened her bags behind her, and followed.

They were originally an ordinary couple in Yinren Village, Dahan was a strong man in the village, and their ancestors were hunters in the vicinity, and they have been hunters in the mountains for generations.

Forty years ago, the ancestors of the Han Dynasty settled in Yinren Village, he also grew up practicing "learning arts" since he was a child, and entered the Zhuang Ding at the age of eighteen.

In addition to receiving their own military salaries on a monthly basis, the strong men of Yinren Village can also take on various tasks of the "salary list" according to their ranks. According to the difficulty and degree of danger, the list is divided into four levels: heaven, earth, Xuan, and Huang, which is the most important task system in Yinren Village. Needless to say, the "tribute" is a quantitative embodiment of the contribution of each member of Yinren Village to the development and growth of Yinren Village. Gongzi is a quantified contribution. By completing the "Bill", if the recipient does not receive the silver taels, they can be exchanged for "tribute", and when they accumulate to a certain amount, they can be exchanged for various scarce materials in the village, such as high-quality weapons, imperial strength, medicinal herbs and fruits, special metals, etc., which can be exchanged if the village feels valuable, even gold and silver.

And it was through the completion of the "salary list" that the big man named Ah Diao not only subsidized the family, but also exchanged for "tribute". A few years ago, I used the "tribute" I saved to exchange for a set of basic imperial methods. Ah Diao has been training hard for a few years, and with this soldier's style and strength, he has become a captain in the strong man's engagement.

The annual opening festival is a rare harvest opportunity for Diao. He is thirty years old this year, and the woman is twenty-eight. As long as you get more herbs or fierce beasts at this opening festival and exchange them for "tributes", you can exchange them for a set of high-quality weapons and get a better ranking in tomorrow's martial arts competition, and maybe you can even be promoted to guard iron clothing. As long as you enter the guard iron suit before the age of thirty-five, although it is not a glorious lintel, but between the blind date neighbors, you will always look at it.
