Xu Yue seemed as if everything around her didn't exist. She had silently finished three bowls of rice and half a plate of large intestines, feeling satisfied.
Daniel, who was standing in the corner, looked at the scene in the room and was dumbfounded.
Seeing the Xu family in front of him who almost got into a fight over a bite of braised pork, he almost thought he was in the wrong place.
Because they look no different from ordinary people.
He couldn't even remember that when the Xu family army reached the king's tent, the cold and powerful General Xu turned out to be the Xu Dalang who could only scoop up the soup base and take the blame.
Xu Yue was the first to finish eating. Wang Pingping glanced at the courtyard and then at Xu Da, who was rubbing his belly with a satisfied look on his face, and was furious.
But after thinking about it, there was no attack, and he signaled Xu Yue to put the food in and bring it to the child.
Daniel was actually very hungry. If someone were to watch the Xu Yue family eating delicious food, they would be hungry even if they were not hungry.
But he endured it and refused to let himself take a bite of the food given by his enemies!
It seems that if you eat it, you will feel like you have compromised with the world.
However, when Xu Yue brought rice and a braised chicken leg in front of him, Daniel still couldn't hold it back and swallowed hard.
He looked away to prevent himself from looking at the tempting bowl of rice.
But the aroma of the food was blown by the wind, and just thinking about it, I knew that the greasy braised chicken legs must have been braised to taste. The meat was soft and tender, and the juices flowed when you took a bite.
"Gulu~"
Daniel's stomach rumbled unsatisfactorily.
Xu Yue put the food on the ground funny, "You are just a child. Children don't need to think too much, and they don't need to bear anything. As long as they eat and drink happily, they will grow up healthily."
If it was really so clear, she should kill him.
Xu Jiajun killed many Xianbei people, but the Xianbei people killed more Central Plains people, and their methods were more cruel. If we have to calculate it, I am afraid the war will never stop.
Unless one party is dead!
Therefore, this account cannot be settled clearly, and Xu Yue does not want the next generation to bear the hatred of the previous generation.
History needs to be remembered, but the next generation does not need to live in hatred.
"Eat, I'll take you to rest after eating." Xu Yue said warmly.
"Since Dad has brought you back, you should stay here well. If you are bored, just play with the twins for a while. If you don't understand anything in the school class, you can ask us."
"But we may not be available, you mainly have to rely on yourself."
Xu Yue stood up and warned: "You can do anything you ask for, and we will consider it as appropriate."
Daniel turned around and looked at Xu Yue's back in surprise, with a complicated look on his face.
He lowered his head and looked at the tempting bowl of food. After all, he couldn't resist the temptation of food and picked up the bowl.
Daniel took a careful taste first, and the imaginary deliciousness exploded on the tip of his tongue. He speeded up his hands, and from the beginning of trying a small mouthful, he directly turned into a big swallow.
So delicious!
How could there be such a delicious meal!
Even if there was poison in it, it would be difficult for anyone to resist its deliciousness! Daniel thought to himself.
Xu Da just dug a hole and didn't bury it, took Daniel home, and after completing his revenge, he didn't care anymore.
It wasn't until he was caught by Wang Pingping that he remembered that he had picked up a baby at home. Under Wang Pingping's close gaze, he finally revealed his true plan.
"Young lady, aren't we going to start border trade soon? This Daniel has a special status. The war between the two sides has just ended, and the relationship is still very tense. If we let them know that we treat Daniel well, it should be able to ease a lot."
The Xianbei people have natural pastures, and the sheep and horses they raise are better than those raised by Xu Jiajun himself.
After the war, Xu Yue has been thinking about how to completely resolve the border conflicts.
War is only a deterrent and treats the symptoms but not the root cause.
If you want to deal with the threat from the alien races on the border, you must establish trade cooperation.
Only by closely linking the interests of both parties can a new round of conflicts be avoided in a few decades.
Why did Xianbei go south? Wang Pingping has analyzed it before - it was caused by the natural geographical location.
The Xianbei people have natural pastures, but no land that can be cultivated, making it impossible for them to enter the farming era and live a stable life.
The Xianbei people are short of food, but they have never thought of engaging in animal husbandry and exchanging sheep and horses for food.
The reason is also very simple, because the surrounding trade is not developed, and Daqing's attitude towards the foreign ethnic groups on the border is either to suppress or to win over.
These are not a once-and-for-all solution, they can only provide short-term peace.
Trade cooperation is different.
The Xianbei people could raise sheep and horses well, but they could not exchange the sheep and horses for the food they needed.
Since the Xu family's army was short of food and horses, it was most appropriate for the two sides to exchange supplies.
Xu Yue asked Fubao, who was in charge of Yuyang's coordination, to calculate that from birth to training a horse, Xu Jiajun would have to pay almost ten thousand dollars.
The Xianbei people only need less than 2,000 yuan to raise a qualified war horse.
Because they have natural pastures and sufficient fodder, they only need to pay labor costs.
There are also the sheep of the Xianbei people. The sheep they raise are fatter and have longer and denser hair than the sheep raised by the people of Youzhou.
If the raw material processing plant of the textile factory is built among the Xianbei people, the time cost and labor cost of Xu Jiajun's textile factory to produce a set of woolen sweaters will also be greatly reduced.
Moreover, in this way, the Xianbei tribes with no fixed settlements can also gather together, form a certain scale, and eventually evolve into towns.
Rather than spending a lot of troops and financial resources to garrison the border, it would be better to directly teach the Xianbei people how to survive without robbing foreigners.
Once the two sides are closely connected, the Xianbei people are likely to automatically evolve into a line of defense between the Xu Jiajun and other countries.
In June, the first border trade talks were held in Juyong County Government Office.
The King of Xianbei sent many people, and the Xu Jiajun also sent a team from the Xu Jiajun Chamber of Commerce headed by Gongsun Hao.
Xu Yue and Xu Da attended the meeting and expressed Xu Jiajun's friendly attitude at the meeting.
Of course, whether they were friendly or not, King Xianbei did not dare to bargain with Xu Jiajun at this time.
As long as it is an opinion raised by Gongsun Hao and others, the Xianbei King will always say: "Ah, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!"
People in this era were relatively simple, especially the Xianbei merchants. They were so simple that even Gongsun Hao was embarrassed to bargain too harshly.
In terms of business awareness, Xu Jiajun's businessmen were completely superior, and the Xianbei people signed fifty-nine business contracts in a daze.
Afterwards, they realized that they and others seemed to have brought in some incredible business for the clan members.
The wool that the tribesmen had left to rot in the fields could be sold for money, and three kilograms of it could be exchanged for a piece of Xujia Chou.
Gongsun Hao and others also said that they would build a wool textile factory in Wancheng and teach their women to make wool for free.
The Xu Jiajun will take away the wool made at the price of three pieces of Xu Jiachi per pound.
