Duan Sicong said: "Clan King, we bought these salts from Shuchuan at our own expense, and we also sent a lot of Dali guards to escort them personally, you killed all of them, and now you are asking us for money." The Duan clan of Dali has endured you Miao people again and again, and you also promised never to rob the businessmen who were escorted by the officers and soldiers of Dali, what kind of heroes are you who go back on your word?"

King Miao smiled and said: "I'm not a hero, can't you see that I'm a woman? What's wrong with me just going back on my word? So much salt, not only can I eat it, but I can also sell it, why should I give it for nothing? Either buy it with money or give me a fuck." ”

"Clan King, there are originally a few salt wells in your territory, we know how to refine refined salt, you can sell salt for a living, and the Duan clan of Dali can buy well salt from you, so it's good for everyone, isn't it?" Duan Sicong said: "It's better to take this opportunity to let the people of the two clans cooperate and refine well salt together." ”

"We Miao people are different from you Han people, we only take what we need, and never ask for more. King Miao said: "We do have well salt, and it's not that we can't refine it, but we only refine it when we need it, and we won't ask for it from this land endlessly like you Han people, which will only attract the revenge of the land." This is the reason why we Miao people hate Han people, and you even let us learn from you?"

"Clan king, you must know that it is not you Miao who need to eat salt, we Han people also need to eat salt. What does it mean that you have taken possession of the salt wells, but have come to rob us of our salt?"

"What do you mean? I just want to ask you Han people what do you mean?" Miao Wang said angrily: "Don't think that I haven't seen your Han people's salt refinery, in order to burn the fire to smelt salt, all the trees in the surrounding mountains have been cut down, you are still cutting down, do you know how many years it takes for a mountain to grow so many trees? ”

Duan Sicong really didn't know how to refute this, King Miao was not wrong, in order to refine enough salt for Dali people to eat, he did cut down a lot of trees. But this is also a matter of no way, where salt is made in the world, because there are too many people, so it is necessary to cut down trees to burn fires, boil water to refine salt.

I heard that there is a master Zongxin in the world, this master can refine refined salt from seawater without burning fire, but the distance between the two sides is far away, and the freight along the way is high, so it is cheaper to buy salt in Shuchuan. Because there are only three wells of salt in Dali, if you want to meet the needs of all the people in the entire Dali country, you can only do your best to cut down trees and burn fires, boil water and refine salt, but even this is still not enough......

The Duan clan of Dali respects Buddhism and understands its reasoning, and King Miao is not wrong. But you can't let Dali people not eat salt because of cherishing a few trees, and the whole body will be weak if you don't eat salt for three days. Although the main reason is that there is too much population, it is absolutely impossible to kill people in order to save salt, and deliberately make the population smaller.

"As expected," Duan Sicong said...... "King Miao, why don't you make a price." ”

"Well~~ There are twenty-four cars, 3,000 catties of salt per car, a total of 72,000 catties, each catty of salt counts you 50 yuan, and if you are 100 taels cheaper, you will be given 3,500 taels of silver. ”

Duan Sicong was really angry and gritted his teeth, from Shuchuan 800 Wen a liter of well salt, a liter of salt weighed about 4 catties. The salt was bought for a total of fourteen thousand taels of silver. The Miao people robbed on the way, not only killed all the officers and soldiers who escorted them, but even wanted to sell the salt back to Dali, and even offered a high price of 3,500 taels.

Compared with the value of these salt skills, three thousand five hundred taels is indeed cheap, but these salts have clearly been given enough money, and it is really distressing to be knocked on again.

"It's too expensive~!" Duan Sicong gritted his teeth and said, "I can only give you two thousand taels of silver." ”

"It's okay, pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other. ”

Duan Sicong waved his hand, and several people behind him carried out two boxes, which were full of silver. King Miao nodded, and immediately a strong man stepped forward to carry away the two boxes of silver.

"Lord Duan, do you have enough manpower? If there are not enough manpower, this king will order someone to send these salts outside Dali City. You just stay for a light meal. My ham is the best in the world. King Miao made another profit, and he was very happy in his heart.

Duan Sicong didn't bring much manpower in the first place, and he was afraid that the Miao people would be hostile if he brought too much, and although Duan Sicong was sure that King Miao would not dare to kill him, he didn't dare to guarantee that he would not take out the salt. So it was useless to bring too many people, so I only brought my daughter and a few retinues.

Duan Sicong arched his hand and said, "Then thank King Miao for his hospitality." ”

The Duan family of Dali paid money to buy salt from Xishu, which was originally a money-losing business, but now it has to pay an extra 2,000 taels of silver to go in, Duan Sicong is really depressed, but he is helpless. The temper of the Miao people is too stubborn, and it is difficult to change it after recognizing a dead reason, and it doesn't make sense to reason with them at all.

Now the strategy adopted by the Duan clan in Dali is to slowly appease and repay grievances with virtue, and after a long time, these Miao people will naturally know that the Han people are not all bad guys. Mutual respect, mutual understanding and common development are the only feasible ways. If the Miao people continue like this, they will die in their own hands sooner or later, and if they don't advance, they will retreat, and the Miao people will understand this truth one day.

Duan Sicong took his daughter Duan Suonian to the guest room to rest, and King Miao looked at this Duan Sicong on his humble throne, and he didn't feel good in his heart. In the eyes of King Miao, Duan Sicong has never been a temperamental person, every time Miao people take a step forward, he takes a step back, Miao people are getting more and more excessive, Duan Sicong is becoming more and more tolerant, like this kind of person is actually the prince of the Duan family in Dali......

"Dali Duan's family will one day die at the hands of such a man who has no temper. Ji'an Sanlin, do you see that? This is a man, a useless man. I robbed him of his things, and he even bought them back with money. The soldiers of the Duan clan in Dali are strong and strong, and they dare not send troops to encircle and suppress our Miao people, which shows that our Miao people are still very strong. ”

The daughter next to her immediately nodded, and what her mother said was very reasonable, men are all useless things. Being bullied like this, this person named Duan Sicong didn't even dare to take a breath of air, what use did this kind of man want him to do? Don't throw it into the swill bucket. If he wasn't the prince, I'm afraid it would be difficult to even eat.

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

Zong Xin suddenly opened his eyes, and then said, "You're all fine." ”

Everyone gathered around Zong Xin, regardless of the smell on his body, just looking at him distressed. The demon even cried red with his eyes, he had never seen Zong Xin in such pain, he actually fainted twice, and the golden silkworm Gu poison was really powerful.

"Don't cry, tell me if you're okay, and if they dare to touch you, I'll kill them all. ”

"It's okay, we're all okay. Dugu Xingyue said: "It's just you...... The six Golden Silkworm Gu in the body are poisonous, even one Golden Silkworm Gu can make you feel painful, not to mention that there are so many six. "Dugu Xingyue really regretted letting Zong Xin go on this trip, and finally had a stable life, Zong Xin just couldn't stay. Now that six golden silkworm Gu poisons have been planted in his body, he can only listen to King Miao's words in the future, and there is no more freedom.

Zong Xin said: "I did it on purpose...... Don't think I'm afraid of those Miao people, it's just that my true qi is not working, otherwise I will go out and destroy them immediately. Demon demon, you are a person who uses poison, what kind of poison have we been in, the dantian is empty, and the true qi cannot operate at all without the support of internal force. ”

"I really don't know, I've checked carefully before eating, and none of the dishes we ate were poisonous. Damn it, if I had found out that those meals were poisonous, Sang-gong wouldn't have suffered so much. "The demon is also very aggrieved, she is a person who uses poison and has no feeling after being poisoned, this is a business mistake, this mistake directly led to everyone being captured, and Zong Xin was also planted by King Miao Six Golden Silkworm Gu, this mistake is simply unforgivable.

Zong Xin said: "I once heard that several completely non-poisonous things become poisonous things if they are eaten at the same time. So it's not about you, there should be a lot of formulas like this, and it's hard to prevent. Demons, do you know what they use to trap my internal force? Without the support of internal force, True Qi cannot function, and I have to make True Qi work now. ”

"I don't know, there are many poisons that can temporarily disappear people's internal strength. ”

"Guess. "Zong Xin has no other hope, only the demon demon present knows the poison best, so he can only let the demon guess.

The demon shook his head and said, "What's the use of this, even if we know what kind of poison it is, we don't have an antidote." ”

"I'll let you guess. Combined with our current situation, what poison is most likely to be hit, and what effect this poison has, guess quickly. ”

"We are very tired, but we still have the strength in our bodies, but we have lost all our internal strength, I guess it's the Forget Worry Grass. The demon said: "Forget the worry grass is this effect, it just makes people drowsy, and the internal force disappears unconsciously, the effect of the medicine will last for three or two days, and the internal force will slowly recover as soon as the effect passes." However, it has a strange shape and a very pungent smell, so it is generally not eaten by mistake. It should be to first use several non-toxic drugs to fuse together to make us unconscious, and then pour the forget-worry grass to make us lose our strength. ”

Zong Xin nodded and said, "Will the toxicity of the Forgetfulness Grass increase when people forcibly exercise their skills, and will it be dangerous if they forcibly exercise their skills?"

"We are now exhausted in internal strength, how can we forcibly exercise exercise?" The demon said: "However, if the poison is still shallow, we can use the profound internal force to force the poison out of the body, and we can forcibly exercise the exercise." ”

"That's all I want to know. Zong Xin said: "King Miao must not have calculated that the 'Nine Seals and Pulse Method' practiced by my Zong Xin did not require internal force at all to restore the operation of the True Qi, but ...... I have to make a seal. Although the hands are together, it is useless to seal behind the back, so you have to find a way. ”

Zongxin and his party are like this, their whole body is tied with five flowers, their hands are tied together behind their backs, and they can barely move. However, this rope is tighter and thinner than ordinary ropes, and if you force it with a little force, you will drill into the flesh, and if you force it to break free, you may cut your muscles and skin.

Zong Xin lay on the ground and endured the great pain, but he bent his feet up, and the hands behind his back went around his feet to the front of his body. The difficulty was not this action, but the rope on Zong Xin's body kept shrinking, and his skin had been cut, and his whole body was soaked in blood.

The three girls looked distressed, but they couldn't stop it, so they could only hold back their tears and force themselves not to cry. The same is true for Zongxin, the rope has cut through the skin and entered the flesh, and the blood has already dyed the clothes red, so he didn't scream because he was afraid that the people outside would hear the movement.
