Lu Hai quickly recorded all his thoughts, then called people and began to spread them to the caravans throughout the Western Region.
Iron hammer here has already carried grain on his back and is riding home with his eldest son excitedly. His eldest son's grain stamps were exchanged for half a catty of salt. After all, he has to cook at home today! The hammer has decided. The eldest son’s food stamps will be saved from tomorrow, and he will buy a knife first! I've seen the kitchen knife and the hammer. If I buy it and forge it again, it can be forged into a short knife.
Or you can directly exchange it for a short knife. The short knife is more suitable, but His Highness's short knife is longer. It costs about 100 kilograms of food stamps to exchange. It will be very useful for hunting, skinning, etc.
As for the other idiots who couldn't wait to exchange their food stamps back, Tie Hammer curled his lips in disdain. They were just afraid that the price would not be so cheap later, and they had no foresight at all! How could His Highness raise the price? ! What are you doing with so much food in exchange for it? Keep it for the mice? !
Just prepare a ten-day ration at home, and exchange the rest for iron tools. Wouldn’t it be more durable for hunting or something in the future? !
When Tie Hammer returned home, he met his mother-in-law and second son. From their mouths, Tie Hammer learned that they actually had a new mission. His second son has now successfully received the transportation mission. Starting today , his second son, like them, also went to work at a fixed time and followed the transportation team organized by His Highness to deliver supplies to various areas.
His wife also officially started working, but instead of cooking, she went to Huangshui to help measure things.
This means that their family can get 20 kilograms of food stamps a day, twenty kilograms a day! They never thought there would be so much food!
"Mother-in-law, I've already thought about it. We can't exchange so much food. The food can't be stored. It will break down easily over time, and there are rats. We need to exchange some iron items back. In this case, His Highness will have less work here in the future. We I don't have to worry about hunting. I even want to exchange it for an iron pot!" Iron Hammer has already begun to imagine a new life in the future. The iron pot is too important to them.
Nowadays, clay pots are often broken when they move around. They make them themselves and the quality is very poor. But iron pots are different. They can't be broken no matter how you use them.
"It's up to you." Tie Hammer's wife's face became much rosier and her body became stronger. She smiled and said, life is getting better. Now they can't starve to death even if they don't have cattle and sheep. It's really blessed by the eternal God. They used to How dare you think about an iron pot? Now you can really think about it.
"Iron Hammer!" Just as Iron Hammer was thinking about it, a man's voice suddenly came from outside.
"It's the captain. I'm going out to see if something is wrong with His Highness." Tie Zhui was startled when he heard the captain who was in charge of his construction site every day.
"Then go quickly, don't dare to delay His Highness's affairs." Madam Iron Hammer said hurriedly.
"Mu Le, follow me." Tie Zhui shouted and followed his eldest son directly out.
When they arrived outside the tent, Iron Hammer saw the captain in the distance through the bright moonlight.
"Captain Wang, what's going on?"
"It's really your home. It seems I'm not wrong." Captain Wang smiled and patted his horse and walked over. Then he turned over in front of their tent and said, "It's nothing important. I'm here to convey some of His Highness's thoughts. The main thing is to talk to him. You guys have a chat, His Highness wants to hear your opinions and thoughts."
"Don't you dare, Captain Wang, if you say that, doesn't it mean that even after my iron hammer dies, my soul will not be able to return to the Heaven of Immortality?! Your Highness is so kind to us herdsmen... His kindness is as heavy as a mountain of iron ingots. What should we do?" You may have ideas and opinions, but we can’t thank you enough!” Iron Hammer immediately became anxious.
"Hahaha, don't worry, this is His Highness's wish. So, Mule, go and call the heads of the twenty herdsmen households near you. They are..., please hold a meeting at your house!" Wang A series of names came out of the captain's mouth.
"I know, I'm going now!" When Mule heard this, he got on his horse and left. The moon was very bright today, so he didn't worry about not being able to see the road, and these people lived not far from them.
"Captain Wang, come in and sit down." Tie Shui quickly moved out of the way of the yurt.
"No, if you have firewood at home, light a fire and some mosquito weed. If there are more people coming soon, we will have a meeting outside." Captain Wang said with a smile.
"Okay!" Tie Zhui immediately called his second son and his mother-in-law to start preparations.
A strong bonfire soon lit up the night sky, and the sound of horse hooves in the distance gradually began to sound. Rough voices kept ringing in the night sky: "Did something happen to Captain Wang? Does His Highness need us?!"
Captain Wang smiled and explained each one without bothering him, smiling like a kind old man.
Soon twenty herdsmen arrived here. Captain Wang asked them to sit down, and then said with a smile: "Everyone, it's like this. Your Highness has entrusted me to come and talk to you. Don't think too much. Your Highness has nothing to do, after all, the army is stationed here now, who comes to trouble His Highness?"
"Captain Wang, tell us, whatever orders His Highness has, we will carry them out."
"It's not an order, His Highness said it, it's just a chat with everyone. Of course, there are some changes. After all, we are all people of the Tang Dynasty now! We must abide by the laws of the Tang Dynasty. Your Highness, let me tell you What this means is that for each household, His Highness will soon allocate Yongye cattle, sheep and horses to everyone! At that time, everyone will need to register their household registration."
"And you are all living in scattered places now. What His Highness means is that all twenty of your families will set up felt tents together! Then, the cattle and sheep of each of your families will be marked separately and mixed together to graze. , and gather together the pastures where twenty of your families are currently grazing.”
"There is an advantage to this. Four or five people are enough to graze the pastures of twenty of your families. Your Highness hopes that the rest of the people, except for children, can hire you to work. This will allow you to save more food. Or salt, ironware, etc. Oh, and by the way, there is also linen, a large amount of linen will be delivered in the next batch, and then the food stamps can also be exchanged for linen." Captain Wang said with a smile.
"Captain Wang." Tie Le listened to the excitement. He couldn't help but said: "Of course we are willing to His Highness's command. Not to mention moving together, even if we form a tribe, there will be no problem. His Highness is indeed doing this." It’s a lot more convenient, we can focus on grazing, but there are so many of us... Your Highness... Your Highness, I wonder if Your Highness has that much food."
"I'm not afraid that Your Highness won't be able to give us food... I'm just... I just feel like this, Your Highness is at a huge loss." Tie Zhui was a little embarrassed. He wasn't very good at talking. He always felt that it was wrong to say this, but he couldn't find it. to more appropriate words.
"Yes, Captain Wang, Iron Hammer is right. Otherwise, just give us less food every day. I think three kilograms per person will be enough." One person said immediately.
Everyone else also agreed!
Captain Wang smiled: "I know what you are saying. Are you afraid that His Highness will suddenly run out of food and your good life will be over?"
When Captain Wang said this, Iron Hammer and the others were a little embarrassed. They did have such thoughts. They would rather take less food every day and wanted His Highness to be able to continue.
