Chapter 47: Give you a vassal state that will be defeated!
In this era, productivity is low and most people do not have enough to eat, but this does not include the nobles.
The nobles had a lot of land and were exploited by groups of slaves. Their granaries and money warehouses were always full. For the king of Izumo Country, the surplus grain was piled up like a mountain.
As the caravan leader of the King's Palace of Izumo Country, Brother Dao knows very well that his king owns a lot of food. If what the merchants say is true, then this is indeed a big business opportunity, and he has the opportunity to make profits from it.
Thinking of this, Brother Dao was not in the mood to taste the delicious food. He ate the tofu nao in a hurry and was ready to find an opportunity to have some contact with King Xi.
"Tou, I haven't finished eating yet."
"Eat it yourself!"
After saying that, Brother Dao threw down a small bag of knife coins to the boy to pay the bill, and then left in a hurry.
As the Izumo caravan is the main supplier of food in Xidu, the palace will naturally not neglect it. Yao Yun's bodyguard Hu Yi personally received him.
Brother Dao did not exchange pleasantries and went straight to the point, asking about Xuehua Baiyan.
Hu Yi had a smile on his face, everything was just as the king said, the biggest fish was hooked.
"Brother Dao, leader, we are also acquaintances. If you want to see the snowflakes and white salt, there is no problem. Brother, I can make the decision. It just so happens that the king of my family needs food, otherwise you will not have the opportunity to see this treasure!"
While we were talking, the waiter came with fine well salt.
Hu Yi carefully dipped a little bit and handed it to Brother Dao to taste.
When Brother Dao saw that the white salt had no trace of yellow or black color, and was as white as jade, his heart suddenly trembled. When he tasted it again, he found that there was really no bitter taste at all, only a simple salty taste.
“Good salt!”
Brother Dao admired it sincerely.
Hu Yi nodded: "That's not true. My king used this salt and the large and small caravans to exchange for spiritual grass, spiritual turtles, and even ferocious beast-level iron-eating beasts. Naturally they are good treasures!"
Brother Dao frowned: "How can I sell this? I brought a lot of food this time..."
Hu Yi interrupted him: "The king said that this kind of salt is a treasure. Caravans of all sizes have gone to the imperial capital to sell it. The king will pay tribute to the emperor in the coming year. By then, the reputation of Xidu's fine well salt will be established. We won't
I’m worried about selling it, but there’s been a shortage of food in the palace recently, and Leader Dao wants to buy it, so he needs to bring over another batch of food, and then the king will consider selling it.”
"How much is this snowflake white salt worth? How many stones of grain are worth a pound?"
"Refined salt is at least twenty times more expensive than coarse salt. Don't think it's expensive. You can't buy more if you want. Refined salt is scarce. We sell coarse salt with refined salt. If you sell refined salt to nobles, the value will be higher.
There will definitely be money to be made!”
Brother Dao fell into deep thought.
Hu Yi ignored it and quickly went to work again. Recently, there was always food entering the palace, and he was a little too busy.
Time passed, and soon it was evening. The food goods of the Izumo caravan were replaced with salt, furs, and herbs, and then they left the city in a hurry.
"Tou, why are you going back in such a hurry?"
"Go back quickly and bring us another batch of food!"
"ah!"
The tiger-headed boy was shocked.
...
Time flies by quickly, the busy autumn harvest is coming to an end, and the weather is getting colder day by day.
In the past, there must have been no foreign caravans at this time, but this year is an exception. At this time, there are still caravans arriving in Xidu with food for sale!
Obviously, these caravans were attracted by King Xi's snowflakes and white salt. In order to earn huge profits, they worked tirelessly to bring food to Xidu again.
No one knows the true value of snowflake white salt. Even if it is not as valuable as imagined, exchanging more coarse salt is still a business that is sure to make a profit. They don't know the loss, and they just have to work harder.
Those who arrived in Xidu for the second time were all large caravans backed by noble people and were so powerful that this kind of speculation was not worth mentioning at all.
The most important thing is that businessmen are very persistent in pursuing huge profits, and hard work and danger cannot stop them.
By the time the last caravan left Xidu and headed back home, the granary in Yao Yun's palace was already full!
Bald Dragon and Wu Tong came to the palace and saw the warehouse full of grain, and both of them had strange looks on their faces.
In the ten years since Xidu was established, this is the first time that the warehouses are full of food.
When piles of rice and millet appear in front of you, even the sarcastic bald dragon can't help but sigh.
"Only when the warehouse is full of food do you feel safe. Tsk tsk tsk. It's really rare. I haven't seen this kind of scene in many years."
Yao Yun pursed his lips: "That's right, Uncle Long, you can't eat as much as ten people, so you're under a lot of pressure!"
The bald dragon rolled his eyes: "This dragon is already on a diet, now you can do it, get so much food, hehehe, I can eat more!"
Yao Yun: "Just pretend that I didn't tell you. You should just eat food for ten people. I can't support you alone!"
"I, Long Batian, need you to raise me? I eat you to give you face. I have watched you grow up. You should call me uncle and uncle. It is the right thing to respect your elders!"
Yao Yun gave a perfunctory smile and complained secretly. He had known better not to talk too much. This dragon can be big or small. If the bald dragon in memory is as big as it is, it is estimated that he can eat the rations of dozens of people.
"Let's wait until next year. These grains are all bought with salt. Just buying these grains will reduce the salt storage in our salt factory by half. It is hard-earned."
Bald Dragon: "Your Majesty, you have changed. You were not like this when you were a child."
Yao Yun's heart was as hard as iron: "You go to the mountains to catch wild animals to eat, and don't worry about my food."
The bald dragon's whiskers were fluttering: "You bastard, if the king were here, I would teach you a lesson. You don't know how to respect the old and care for the young. This dragon is now in a dormant period and should not be active. You must eat and drink well."
Come on, what's wrong with you!"
Yao Yun chuckled: "Don't make excuses for gluttony. I'll give you a little more ration at most. Don't think about eating every meal to your heart's content. There wasn't so much food before. How did you survive? You really can't be fooled by Gu.
!”
"Huh, this dragon doesn't eat the food that comes from here!"
The bald dragon was obviously a little depressed. The prince used to be quite afraid of him, but now he is better, his wings are strong, and he fights with him every day.
Wu Tong listened to the two bickering with a smile and said nothing.
After becoming familiar with each other, Yao Yun no longer fears the bald dragon. They fight each other every day and no one is afraid of the other.
In addition, in the past month or so, Yao Yun has made breakthroughs in his practice. The power of his mind can already outline the seven great witches. He has made obvious progress. He will be a Qi Refiner just around the corner, and his confidence has greatly increased!
At this moment, Cang Man hurriedly came to report.
"Report to the king, there are ghosts in Xidu doing evil!"
"Huh? You didn't win it?"
"Your Majesty, the opponent seems to be a Qi Refiner-level ghost. Cangman didn't catch it for a while. I'm afraid I need the help of the second elder!"
Hearing this, the bald dragon was overjoyed: "Hahahaha, Wu Laoer, I tell you, don't help the Crown Prince. King Xuan has told us not to help the Crown Prince before, and leave the Xi Kingdom to his own torment. If he loses everything, he will
He brought him back to the imperial capital to live a stable life."
Yao Yun was shocked. In his last life, he heard that a rich man gave his son 500 million, and if he failed, he would accept his fate. Now he is even more powerful, directly giving it to a vassal state...
Yao Yun immediately looked at Wu Tong to verify the authenticity.
"Indeed!" Wu Tong smiled helplessly.
The bald dragon suddenly felt extremely proud: "Retribution has come. Your Majesty, aren't you very arrogant? You love the people like a son. Hehehe, I asked you not to give me food. You can solve it yourself, hahahahaha!"
