Although the men from several tribes looked unhappy, they hesitantly put down their weapons and began to retreat. However, the largest group of Uzbek hunters, whose faces were full of excitement, raised their weapons and cheered warmly.
"Gaga, the commander-in-chief belongs to us and wants to steal salt from us. You must be beaten today!" A hunter from the Uzbek tribe taunted loudly.
"Oh, the Wu tribe has a great leader, we can't buy this salt!"
Some people in the crowd of onlookers sighed helplessly.
"Yes, Long is from the Uzbek tribe, Lei was also from the Uzbek tribe before, Da Wu is also from the Uzbek tribe, we are all outsiders!"
"The Uzbek people are too domineering!"
"Will His Majesty the Witch King help us?"
"I wonder, His Majesty the Witch King is not here!"
Although the scene was violently suppressed and dispersed, and the crowd had retreated, the voices of discussion continued.
Although primitive people have simple and honest thinking, they are not stupid.
In these years, the royal city was built and the Ba Kingdom was established. The people in power were Ba and Uzbek people.
Especially the three elders of the Military and Political Palace. Although Feng, the commander-in-chief, became famous early, he is not famous enough and has basically never participated in large-scale battles. The main role of sitting in the Military and Political Palace is overall management. In fact, those responsible for the training of hunters and forbidden troops are
Lei and Long, two Uzbek warriors.
In the past few years, these two people have continuously conquered the Pi tribe, Moten tribe and Taogee tribe. This time they conquered three barbarian tribes and found new large-scale salt mines. It can be said that among the hunters and the forbidden army, they have harvested a large amount of salt.
The popularity and reputation have far surpassed the wind.
In fact, among these newly conquered tribes, almost all of them only know the names of Lei and Long, but they don't know that there is a supreme commander like Feng in the Military and Political Palace.
But there is nothing we can do about it.
Feng was originally much inferior to Lei and Long in terms of strength. Regardless of combat experience or personal ability, Xu Chen felt that he could not act alone and could only sit in the royal city as a coordinating official.
It is precisely because of the growing reputation of Long and Lei that the relationship between the Wu and Ba tribes is irreversible. The two tribes are the same ethnic group, and the twin sisters Wu are in charge of the two tribes. The self-satisfaction of the Wu tribe is also growing.
Over the years, the Uba and Uba tribes have been in the same family, almost without distinction between you and me, and the exchanges between the two tribes are as frequent as visiting relatives.
As long as the Ba people have it, the Uzbek people are basically the first to get it.
Moreover, the Uzbek people own the only copper mine in the entire country of Pakistan, and it is also the earliest and most important mineral mined.
Copper mines have accumulated a lot of wealth for the Uzbek people.
Rich and powerful people are particularly strong-willed at all times.
This is the case for the Uzbek people at the moment. They are backed by the Ba people, and they are supported by Lei and Long, the two elders of the military and political palace. Coupled with the sense of superiority accumulated by their huge wealth, all the Uzbek people feel that they are in need no matter what the occasion.
They are superior to others, and the only people they respect are the Ba people.
Apart from this, other tribes are all savages and are objects of contempt and ridicule.
And this kind of contempt is not unique to the Uzbek people. In fact, it exists in all tribes, and it is a long chain of contempt.
The Ba tribe is highly praised by all tribes, and no matter who they despise, everyone can accept it. After all, they are the tribe of His Majesty the Witch King and the Great Witch.
The rest are the Wu tribe, the Gonghuo tribe, the Yu Gong tribe, the Pi tribe, the Youqiong tribe, the Cicha tribe, and the Moteng tribe, which are a one-stop chain of contempt.
And now, at the bottom of this chain of contempt, there are several more southern barbarian tribes.
Even in the eyes of many tribes near the royal city, the Southern Barbarian tribes are not considered a human race. At most, they are similar to monkeys and belong to the category of carnivores.
The biggest culprit in today's salt-grabbing riot is the Uzbek ethnic group.
Because they have a strong financial background and are able to buy such cheap salt for the first time, they decided to buy all the snow salt and most of the rock salt.
Rock salt is priced at one penny and three catties, and snow salt is priced at one penny and two catties.
The price is like picking it up for free, and the quality is much better than the salt from the previous small salt mine.
Today, the total amount of salt brought by the Yugong clan is only about 5,000 kilograms, and the total value is less than 2,000 yuan.
This small amount of money may be a huge amount of wealth to other tribes, but it is nothing to the Uzbek people.
Of course, they did not plan to buy them all, but planned to leave a small part for other tribes, but they also planned to grab the right of priority.
After all, apart from snow salt, there are good and bad crystallizations of rock salt. Some have more impurities and sediment, while others are more pure.
They want to pick and buy all the good ones first.
But today there are dozens of tribes from all ethnic groups, not to mention powerful tribes like the Gonghuo tribe. In addition, salt is a rare commodity, so many tribes do not want to spoil the Wu tribe, not to mention the Gonghuo tribe.
Tribes such as the Yehuo Clan, the Qu Clan, the Five Ghost Clan, which are already very powerful or have a good relationship with Xu Chen, and even the second-level tribes such as the Poor Clan, the Pi Clan, the Cicha Clan, are still unconvinced.
As a result, the Uzbek people's occupation aroused public anger and condemnation, and eventually led to a huge riot over salt grabbing.
But fortunately, although the scale was large and chaotic, all the hunters still controlled their emotions, and no one dared to make a fatal move. After all, this was a royal city or a royal palace. The great witch was in front of him, and His Majesty the Witch King was in charge.
You will definitely not be lenient.
But once the pushing and fighting started, some things could not be completely controlled. Therefore, in the chaos, many people on both sides had bruises and bruises, and many suffered head injuries.
He was as happy as if he had found a supporter for his tribe members.
Long felt entangled and hesitant in his heart.
On the one hand, he must maintain the order of the royal city, be fair and impartial, and deal with things impartially. This is Xu Chen's repeated warning to him as the leader's responsibility.
On the other side are the tribesmen of their own tribe. I am the backbone and backer of these tribal brother hunters. They also have high hopes for me and hope to receive my care and protection.
In fact, this has always been the case. With the improvement of his status and the growth of power, the status of the Uzbek tribe among all ethnic groups and tribes in Pakistan is also constantly improving. The Uzbek tribe who settled near the royal city are usually a bit arrogant.
Domineering, I heard that he often bullies other nearby tribes, but makes people dare to be angry and dare not speak out.
He knew that the main force in this riot must be the Uzbek people, and there was no need for a trial. However, it was very difficult for him to decide how to resolve this matter.
Just as Long separated the groups of hunters who were fighting and confronting each other, and the commotion and tension on the scene slowly began to turn into cheers and questions, another dense set of footsteps was heard from the west gate of the palace, and soon a group of
The Imperial Guards armed with spears lined up in neat ranks and rushed in.
Behind the team were Xu Chen and Pu Jia.
"Your Majesty the Witch King!"
Seeing the Imperial Army and Xu Chen arriving again, large crowds of people squatted down to greet them and salute.
Xu Chen nodded on both sides of the horse while scanning the entire square with his eyes. He found that apart from the broken salt bags in rattan baskets and the groceries and salt crystals scattered on the ground, there seemed to be no casualties, so he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The fact that so many people were fighting in such a melee did not cause any confusion, which shows that the education and guidance over the years have been successful.
A few years ago, faced with an extremely scarce good thing like salt, it is estimated that dozens of people would not give up until they lay down at the scene.
I think back then, just to seize the camp, the Gonghuo Clan and the Yu Gong Clan killed more than ten people on each other, and several of them were permanently disabled.
The imperial troops who rushed in lined up separately on both sides under the command of Gao, and soon surrounded the central open space. Xu Chen got off his horse and walked up to Feng He and a group of witches and asked seriously: "What's going on? You are all here.
Why is there a fight here?"
Almost all the witches bowed their heads in shame and didn't know how to explain.
Feng quickly explained what happened with a red face.
Xu Chen's face twitched hard after hearing this, and he turned to look at a group of Uzbek hunters who were still very proud of themselves.
At this time, Long was also surrounded by a group of heads and leaders of the Wu tribe with feathers on their heads, who seemed to be chirping and complaining to him.
The losses in this chaos were not great, but the impact was great.
Except for some furs, linen, animal bones, horns, teeth and other miscellaneous goods scattered all over the floor, there was nothing else, and about a few dozen kilograms of rock salt. In addition, there seemed to be a few guys with bruises and bruises on their faces, and there seemed to be a few drops on the ground.
Blood.
However, this incident happened in the palace, and the main instigator was the Uzbek people. Judging from the mood of the onlookers and the situation at the scene, if it is not handled well, it will greatly affect the reputation of the royal city.
In fact, according to Feng, it was not the Uzbek people who caused trouble in the first place.
Because the Uzbek tribe came relatively late, at first some tribes purchased salt rationally under the arrangements of a group of shamans, Ye and others.
Although there was a lot of salt this time, as the purchase progressed, in order to buy more, many tribes asked people to carry all the furs, linen, cloth and other properties brought over. This primitive barter method counted and converted
It's very slow.
A group of big and small witches and a group of little witches from the witch academy could only help count and convert the value into salt. However, this kind of transaction was too messy and slow because the goods were too messy and slow. As time went by, the transactions crowded in the front could not be completed, and
These tribes exchanged more and more salt, and the tribes who were squeezed behind couldn't bear it, so they started pushing and yelling, and then quarrels and fights broke out.
In such a chaotic scene where dozens of tribes and thousands of people gather, a group of witches who usually lead the tribes from a high position cannot calm the emotions of all the tribes. Although they are said to be the great witches of the Ba Kingdom, in fact, in the eyes of all ethnic groups and tribes,
Come on, they still represent their own ethnic groups and positions.
These witches can persuade their own tribe not to cause trouble, but they cannot persuade other tribes not to make trouble.
What's more, they are a group of passionate men.
Moreover, many clan leaders also angrily accused and shouted at each other.
Feng led several patrolling imperial troops and more than a dozen Ba hunters to maintain order here, but when faced with thousands of people gathering and hundreds of people fighting in chaos, he simply could not suppress it, so the situation quickly deteriorated.
More than a dozen tribes began to fight and rob each other, and the transaction could not proceed at all.
