Xiaoyao Nongjiazi

Chapter 149

Among the new group of people, many of them were so thin that they were out of shape. Compared with the group of people brought back from the border town by Zhong Qingran, the situation was even more serious.Anyway, most of those people are young and strong. Although they can't have enough to eat, human teeth brokers want to sell them for a good price. As long as they are not seriously ill, it will not be too much.

This group of people was not the case. Zhong Qingran guessed that if he didn't accept them here, many of them would die on the way back.People here really don't treat slaves as human beings, they can treat them however they want.But he couldn't say anything, these are the norm, and it cannot be changed by one person.

Zhong Qingran asked people to arrange to clean up the filth first, and then called the doctors who came to Fucheng to give them a physical examination, so don't bring diseases from outside into Fucheng.There were a few patients with serious illnesses, after the doctor diagnosed and prescribed prescriptions, Zhong Qingran dispensed the prescriptions himself.How to say, the medicine passed through his hands is far more effective than ordinary medicine, so that the loss rate of manpower can be minimized.

Zhong Qingran really didn't know what to say.Those three tribes are very realistic, but fortunately there is still a bit of conscience, at least he didn't send him some seventy-eight-year-old people who can't walk, right?

In fact, Zhong Qingran knew in his heart that living in the environment of Hanhai Prefecture, few servants could live to know their destiny, and they were already old people in their 40s, and nearly half of this group of people were of this age.This was also one of the reasons why Zhong Qingran was so kind.At this age, as long as the body is not completely hollowed out, it is completely fine to do some light work.

The three tribes who came this time, apart from the fact that Zhong Qingran was a little dissatisfied with the servants, the others were pretty good. Not to mention their amiable attitudes, they also devoted themselves to the caravan trade and did not casually inquire about the internal news of Fucheng. sincerity.

What Zhong Qingran didn't know was that they were afraid. How could they dare to act rashly when all the spies were caught at the scene?They still have a lot of good days to live, wouldn't it be too worthless if they were discounted here?

The arrival of these three tribes was like a signal, which opened the prelude to the human trade between the tribes and Fucheng.No, just as they were being sent away, another caravan arrived, also carrying some servants.This time, by the way, the number of servants was very small, only around twenty. Other than that, the other situations were similar to those of the previous ones.

With the arrival of wave after wave of people, the inventory of goods in Fucheng has decreased rapidly, and the population has also skyrocketed.Seeing that winter is coming, it is estimated that this will be the last batch. Everyone in Fucheng, including the officials, breathed a sigh of relief.Come again a few times, it will really kill them.

Zhong Qingran was also a little worried, what Qingshu said really came true.Ever since Fucheng welcomed the caravans of various tribes and communicated with them, for several months, Fucheng only received a few sporadic waves of people.

The current situation is good, everyone seemed to have a heart-to-heart, and they all concentrated on visiting Fucheng in the past half a month, not to mention taking away a large number of goods, and leaving behind a bunch of slaves in their eyes, which can be described as tasteless.They really had a good plan, and they not only consumed a lot of supplies in Fucheng, but also sent a lot of burdens.Does this mean that Fu Cheng's bone is not easy to chew, and intends to consume them to death?

Rubbing the center of his brows, Zhong Qingran lowered his eyes, and could only watch from the corner of his eye, Zhong Qingshu and others who were immersed in the accounts.He just waited for the results to come out, so that he could take advantage of the last bit of time and make arrangements as appropriate.

The temporarily transferred accountants checked all the recent accounts and summarized them to Zhong Qingshu, who would carry out the last step.

"How is it?" Seeing that Zhong Qingshu finally put down his pen, Zhong Qingran asked immediately.

"There are too many accounts, I can't tell you clearly, you have to look at it yourself." Zhong Qingshu pushed the ledger to Zhong Qingran who was sitting opposite, feeling a little drowsy.In the past two days, he was so busy that his feet never touched the ground. Last night, he almost didn't close his eyes all night. The young man actually became so haggard. It can be seen how intense the labor is.

Zhong Qingran saw all of this, he felt sorry for his brother, and thought about whether to hire a few more people to share Qing Shu's duties, and then thought, the matter has come to this point, it is useless to worry, it is better to put the matter in front of him first. Let's settle this matter.

Fucheng is in the stage of stockpiling food. In terms of food, except for some vegetables, fruits, mushrooms and seafood, it will not be sold to the outside world.However, Zhong Qingran still feels distressed when he sees that the grocery store is about to run out of stock.He can't move the supplies of each household. If he moves, there will probably be troubles. The only things he can move are those under the official name of Fucheng.

Zhong Qingran is very clear that the economic foundation determines the superstructure, if he does not have enough materials in his hands, the weight of his words will plummet.You know, even if the emperor has no money in his hands, he will be constrained everywhere, which is not a good feeling.

Zhong Qingran didn't want to fall into such a situation, but fortunately, he didn't have enough eyesight to use food.In the past, there was a shortage of manpower, and the scale of the glass greenhouse was greatly limited. Now that so many newcomers live in Datongpu, the newly-built glass greenhouses can fully operate.In addition, there are still several vacant houses in Shangqingfang. If they are not used, it is really a waste.

Glass greenhouses have good lighting, but the insulation effect is not as good as that of houses.From the perspective of growing food, glass greenhouses are obviously more suitable, but it is not impossible to grow indoors.As long as the windows are opened larger and crops with high light requirements are not planted, there will be no other problems except for low yields.

As soon as he thought of it, Zhong Qingran acted quickly.A few days after he hired a carpenter, rows of strong wooden frames were erected in the vacant house.

Fucheng has an advantage that no one else has except the Great Zhou Dynasty, and that is Zhong Qingran's mastery of mushroom cultivation techniques.Especially straw mushrooms, which seem inconspicuous, have a short growth cycle and high yield, as long as they are planted properly, it is really difficult for Fucheng to have nothing to eat.Coupled with the mountains and the sea, the resources are very rich, and it is basically impossible to drag them down with the help of those people who suddenly joined Fucheng.

Zhong Qingran didn't just put on a show, otherwise, how could he be willing to settle the bill with gold and silver under the pressure of the townspeople and at the risk of being regarded as an idiot by other tribesmen?No one is stupid, is they?

Originally, Zhong Qingran planned to go to Fengcheng with Walin Village this year.It's a pity that the plan can't keep up with the changes. If you want to see the demeanor of the big tribes in Hanhai Prefecture, you can only wait until next year to realize it.

There is no need for suspects, no doubts for employers, Zhou Ming and other retired sailors who belonged to the third prince are now all in the city guards, forming a naval squadron.They usually follow Jian Mingyu to train on the school grounds. From time to time, they drive the building boats for sea voyages, and the warships are also slowly being developed.

Zhong Qingran doesn't think that since Hanhai Prefecture is almost isolated from the world, he can sit back and relax. Who knows how things will develop in the future?You can't go wrong with being prepared.Besides, even if you don't need it now, you can save it for later.

Thanks to Zhong Qingshu's words, Zhong Qingran made preparations in advance, otherwise, if he was caught off guard, it would be a bit unrealistic for Fucheng to digest all the manpower.But even so, Zhong Qingran still did not dare to take it lightly.

It's late autumn now, and the temperature drops rapidly. It's really hard to resist the cold if you don't wear thicker clothes when you go out.The teams collecting mountain goods have returned one after another in the past few days.The vegetation in the mountains is withered. If it weren't for the fact that Hanhai Prefecture is located in the north, where there are mostly evergreen trees and a lot of green can be seen, it would only be more bleak.

In the days before winter, wild beasts are storing prey for the long winter, and they are more aggressive than usual.Jian Mingyu often went hunting in the mountains, and he knew this very well. He had explained to the city guard captains who went out to hunt and guard in advance, and if he found this situation, he would lead the team back to avoid unnecessary loss of personnel .

In the past, Jian Mingyu didn't need to explain this matter, but now it's different.The influence of Wuguo is gradually fermenting. Under the leadership of the herd leader whose intelligence level has been significantly improved, hunting is even more difficult. If one is not good, there may be casualties.

This hunting and picking was very successful, and one can get a glimpse of it by looking at the townspeople who are laughing from ear to ear all day long.In fact, the situation is not so optimistic.

This year, the prey in the mountains were more vigilant and vicious. Although relying on the strength of the city guards, there were no accidents, but many people were injured.It's only been a year, that's it, after that...

Prior to this, Zhong Qingran sent Minglei to Wugu to have a look, and even stayed for a long time.There is no movement in Fog Valley, the only constant is the thick fog.

After knowing this, Zhong Qingran breathed a sigh of relief.Although the fog fruit is also effective on humans, it is obviously very unfriendly to humans.Other suitable creatures, within hundreds of miles, will be attracted by the fog fruit, but people are not so lucky.

The more deadly point is that, based on the current information, the smoky fruits grow in inaccessible places, and even if someone is lucky, they will appear there just when the smoky fruits are ripe. In addition, it will not benefit relatives and friends at all.Of course, that doesn't count for Zhong Qingran, if it wasn't for his good luck, which happens to have a very good effect on preserving the Wuguo, he can only sigh in vain for that valley of Wuguo.

Zhong Qingran looked at the large pile of mountain goods that had just entered the warehouse, and his brows were filled with joy.But these were not enough, he didn't want next year, like this year, to rely on the city guards to go hunting in the mountains to provide rations.

Zhong Qingran set his sights on the vast sea, just in time, he can take advantage of this opportunity to go to sea to find a suitable sea pet.

The situation in the sea was too special, Zhong Qingran didn't plan to put his hope on animals with no spirituality, and his target was dolphins.Just thinking that the fighting power of dolphins doesn't seem to be very strong, he couldn't help frowning.It's difficult to have both in the world, but he wants to raise a shark with a fierce temperament, but does he dare to raise it?That thing is not easy to tame, and if it is not done well, it may be a tiger infestation.After all, the sea is different from the land, and it's not something that Zhong Qingran can think about casually.

Time was short, and Zhong Qingran couldn't possibly try his luck at this moment, given that he didn't know if there were such lovely creatures as dolphins in the vast sea.
