When the four elephants appeared, the locals in Amancheng were actually surprised. When Mayor Li took a look, he knew that these idiots probably didn't surf the Internet at home every day and didn't know there were elephants at their doorsteps.
?
After the Yancheng County Division recovered, he was still a little dissatisfied with Township Chief Li. He was thinking that you, a fucking barbarian from Yinxiang, came to my place to kill people. Isn't that a little bit like that?
This savage you are talking about...is he powerful?
After briefly recalling the knife attack at the city gate not long ago, the Yancheng County Magistrate shivered immediately. The image was very strong. At this time, the unlucky Zhi family must have been completely cold, right?
"The county magistrate is a generous man, I admire him very much."
Mayor Li looked at the sullen expression on the face of the county magistrate of Amancheng, and thought that he shouldn't go too far. The most important thing in life is to be happy. Judging from the appearance of Amancheng, it is estimated that it will be invaded by the sea next year. By then, all the young and old will
, where can I go? Gusu will definitely not accept it.
Yinxiang can be harvested.
"Um?"
County Magistrate Ji looked at Li Jie with a puzzled expression. Township Chief Li chuckled and snapped his fingers.
Immediately two strong "crocodile men" came over carrying things, including bamboo poles and baskets. The baskets contained large earthen jars, which were sealed with silk and lotus leaves, wrapped with hemp rope and buckled.
A bowl.
"A little Yinxiang specialty, a little apology."
"this……"
County Master Ji actually doesn’t really want the local products of Yinxiang. It’s really that damn place, and I haven’t heard of any good ones. Except for eels, there are probably a little more reeds, and this year they just robbed some large livestock.
But you can't kill big animals to make bacon.
"Is it possible that the county magistrate doesn't like sweets?"
"Sweets?"
"Honey."
Township Chief Li pointed to the big earthen jar, "If the county magistrate doesn't want twenty kilograms of honey, then I will..."
"No!"
County Master Ji was so excited that his beard trembled and his eyes widened, "I like sweets very much!"
After saying this, he probably said in disbelief, "Is it really honey?"
"really!"
"As soon as I saw Li Jun, I felt friendly. I think this is due to Li Jun's nature."
"you are welcome……"
Mayor Li chuckled, and then asked the "crocodile man" to lift out an earthen jar from the basket.
Honey is one of the important secrets of Yinxiang. The level of confidentiality given by Township Chief Li is the same as that of gunpowder. Although the King of Wu also has people who specialize in collecting honey and keeping bees, those like Yinxiang that can produce stable and high yields,
None of the other countries have it.
Shang Wuji opened a grocery store in Gusu City, where there were special items purchased by "Bai Si", the most valuable of which was honey.
A jar of honey, weighing about two kilograms, can be exchanged for anywhere from twenty to fifty slaves, depending on the type of slave you choose.
In fact, the inventory in Yinxiang is quite astonishing. Even if you slowly use honey to gather the wool of King Wu Gouchen, you can gather it until he dies.
A large earthen jar containing twenty kilograms of honey was given to the Yancheng County Magistrate. He was guaranteed to make a profit, and upon returning to his "fiefdom", he could immediately recruit a large number of people.
Honey is hard currency, harder than silk and gold.
The yellow wax on the wax seal used by Li Jie to communicate with Sha Dong was actually beeswax.
After receiving this heavy gift, Li Jie didn't say he was killing people, he even ransacked Yancheng, and County Magistrate Ji didn't have any objection. At most, he reported it to Gusu, saying that he encountered a group of thieves, and it was a matter of one sentence.
Does the life and death of the Yancheng bumpkin have anything to do with him?
Amancheng, a place that will soon be submerged by sea water, does not belong to him, and it will be destroyed sooner or later. But honey is different. If it is given to him, of course it will become private property.
You can control it however you want.
County Master Ji couldn't help but think about it. For these twenty kilograms of honey, Li Jie could ask for anything.
After the young and old of the Zhi family came out with four elephants, the "crocodile people" saw the giant beasts and all guarded them one after another. They were quite nervous.
However, Li Jie didn't care. He waved his hand and said, "Elephants are extremely smart, so there is no need to be like this."
"yes!"
The "crocodile men" immediately stopped their posture, but still crowded around Li Jie.
The sudden movement and quietness startled the Yancheng County Magistrate. He had judged before that the people brought by the Yinxiang Township Commander were very powerful.
Now it seems that I still underestimated it.
"Good man!"
"I came in a hurry, so I brought some small gifts to these four people."
After saying that, Li Jie grabbed an earthen jar with one hand, raised his hand and patted away the sealing silk and lotus leaves. He directly reached into the earthen jar and touched it. Then he walked to the four giant beasts and stretched out his hand.
Got out.
The largest elephant waved its trunk, rubbed it on Li Jie's palm, and then stuffed the trunk back into his mouth.
Immediately afterwards, his ears flickered, and he kept rubbing it with his nose. Probably because he was not satisfied, he directly raised his nose and rolled it into a nozzle shape. Then he opened his mouth and began to lick Li Jie's hand. The honey on it made the elephant very happy.
Yes.
"This is a father."
The young and old of the Zhi family were all stunned and nodded repeatedly: "What my dear man said is true, 'Caihua' is a male beast."
"Picking flowers? Is this the name of a big bull elephant?"
"Exactly."
"Why is it called picking flowers?"
"When Mrs. Zhi was growing flowers, a herd of elephants entered by mistake. After they were dispersed, only the 'flower pickers' stayed behind and stole the flowers raised by Mrs. Zhi."
"Ouch!"
Li Xiangchang's eyes lit up. This elephant has a good personality. It's rare for a foodie to have a grumpy brother. If he has a stutter, he's still very grumpy.
He reached out and touched the trunk of "Caihua". This is a tool used by elephants to communicate feelings. It is covered with more than 10,000 muscles. After a person touches it with his palm, as long as he is kind, he can convey it.
Why does Mayor Li know this useless knowledge?
Because once the contracted construction site was in Banna, Party A asked if the elephant could be used as payment...
Later, Foreman Li was detained for fifteen days. During this period, he carefully studied all kinds of knowledge about elephants, and finally came to the conclusion: Don’t buy and sell animals indiscriminately!
Fortunately, Foreman Li was young and ignorant, and was deceived and framed by traitors, so after Township Chief Li received an education, he went to a game restaurant to have a meal to calm his shock, and then went home.
The big bull elephant was enjoying the licking, so it was probably the smaller wife's turn to lick it, so she moved away. When the giant beast moved around, there was a lot of movement. The Amancheng County Magistrate was a little scared and shrank back.
Some.
Seeing Li Jie carelessly feeding the elephant honey, although County Master Ji was greedy, distressed, entangled, and jealous, he still did not dare to step forward.
The savages are indeed savages, so wild!
The "crocodile men" were also stunned. They knew that Shou Li was very fierce, but to be so fierce still shocked them again.
The four giant beasts were just standing in front of them. Normal people would shrink back in fear, but Chief Li was still enjoying it.
"Female elephants have no tusks, which is good. But if they have tusks, they are more likely to be killed. It's better if they don't grow tusks."
While Li Jie was talking, he patted the female elephant's nose, making her lick the honey from Li Jie's hand confidently and boldly.
Probably because they were very happy, the elephants who licked the honey made a "whoosh" sound, and from time to time their trunks stretched out, wanting to stuff it directly into the earthen jar.
As soon as "Pihua" stretched out his nose, he was slapped by Li Jie. After the nose was slapped away, Li Jie pointed at the big male elephant with his finger: "Come one by one and line up!"
"..."
"..."
"..."
When he saw Li Jie slap the big male elephant on the trunk, County Master Ji felt that his heart was about to jump out. The feeling of fear was simply suffocating.
It wasn't just Master Ji who felt numb, almost all the people from Amancheng who came to watch were so frightened that they turned around and ran away.
If they hadn't been trained, the "crocodile men" would still want to run, but long-term training has made them very professional and not show their timidity.
As a result, after Li Jie patted "Pihua" on the nose, the big male elephant was not angry. Instead, he raised his nose and showed an extremely humane smile.
Everyone can see that the mood of "picking flowers" is quite good.
"Bring me another can!"
"yes!"
A "crocodile man" stepped forward and opened the jar. Li Jie picked it up with one hand and said to the big male elephant: "Yours!"
His nose curled up, and then he walked aside. The "flower picker"'s nose was extremely flexible, and he repeatedly dipped honey from the earthen pot into his mouth and slurped it fiercely.
The look of drool flying around made the Amcheng County Magistrate feel a little greedy.
What a waste of natural resources!
There were four jars of honey in total, weighing eighty kilograms. Twenty kilograms were given to the Yancheng County Magistrate. Sixty kilograms were actually given to elephants?
He lowered his head and looked at the honey at his feet, and then at the elephant's honey. The Yancheng County Magistrate thought that he was worse than an animal?
"Family elephants are docile and extremely intelligent. Just treat them as children."
Li Jie's words were not meant for the young and old of the Zhi family, but for the "crocodile people".
If you spend a lot of time with elephants in the future, you will naturally need to be vaccinated in advance.
Even Mayor Li is not afraid of elephants. What the hell are you villagers who don’t know the truth afraid of?
"You two, follow me back to Yinxiang."
"Yes, my dear!"
The young and old of the Zhi family were already in admiration. Although Li Jie did not know how to tame an elephant, he obviously did not know anything about elephants.
The act of feeding an elephant is shocking to people just because of their courage and courage.
"Master Ji, shall we say goodbye then?"
"Leaving now?!"
County Master Ji was very reluctant to part with it, especially since Li Jie had just opened two cans of honey. Isn’t there still one more can?
He subconsciously swallowed a sip of saliva and couldn't help but stare at the remaining large earthenware jar.
Li Jie saw this and said with a smile: "The county magistrate can come to Yin Township more often in the future. Yin Township has also opened a market."
Even if the news about the Baisha Market is slow in Amancheng, it has been so long, and they will definitely know about it.
When Li Jie said this, he obviously did not intend to give him the last remaining honey, but to ask the people of Amcheng to be more conscious and go to Baisha Market to trade on their own.
"Is there any honey in Yinxiang?"
"There is still a lot of inventory."
Seeing the Yancheng County Magistrate like this, Mayor Li smiled and thought that in the future, if someone named Ji betrayed the people under his rule, the success rate should be high.
