Changsheng starts from Tiangang 36

Chapter 68 Be careful, son!

"The old man actually knows so much about the Yixuan clan!"

At the entrance of the third west stall, the official from the labor service department who had spoken to him came in curiously after hearing Old Man Tu's story.

He cupped his hands towards Jiang Li and the others and said, "Xu Feng, I'm an official in the Labor Department who is responsible for selling prisoners of war. How many of you are interested in this group of Hsiu-Yun people?"

"My lord, wasn't the last Hyun-Xun tribe wiped out at the northern border by the Great Zhou defenders 20 years ago? Why did it appear here?" Old Man Tu asked.

"Old man, 20 years ago, the Xiong clan was pursued all the way by Bei Mang. They panicked and strayed into the border of the Great Zhou. They were indeed captured by the defenders of the Great Zhou. According to the laws of the Great Zhou, the whole clan should be beheaded!"

Xu Feng explained: "But the Holy Majesty is generous and merciful, and Nianxuan clan is fierce and loyal, so he decreed an amnesty to leave this remnant tribe, demote the whole clan as slaves, and move to Yunjing Shifu to serve I keep horses for a long time.

"Two months ago, King Mang went south with his sword and approached the Great Wall in the north. The troops of Yunjing Ten Prefectures were tightened. These Hsiu-Yun people who raised horses outside the city were useless. They were escorted to Beishi by the Ministry of War yesterday."

When Xu Feng said this, he paused and said: "If you are here for the name of the strongest volley in Jiuzhou, I am afraid you will be disappointed. For 20 years, they were all banned from riding horses, let alone touching any iron objects, even if there were some inheritances, they would have been abandoned long ago!"

"It used to be the strongest cavalier in Kyushu, but it's fine to be a horse slave. It's ironic that you get along with a horse day and night, but you don't have the qualifications to ride it!"

Jiang Li couldn't help shaking his head when he heard that.

Emperor Jing spared the lives of the Xiong people, saying that he was tolerant, but it may not be another cruel punishment.

He looked at the row of cages in front of him, and his eyes flashed even more.

Among the people imprisoned in narrow iron cages, besides adult men, there were also many old and weak women and children.

Years of hard work and long-term malnutrition made these Xiangyun people look very weak, all of them looked yellow, weak and skinny.

There is still a bit of the demeanor that Kyushu's strongest salvo should have.

After traveling for more than a thousand miles, these Xiangyun people have long been exhausted and exhausted.

Their clothes were tattered, covered with layers of dust and stains, filthy, and exuded a stench.

But whether it is an adult man, or the old and weak women and children, and the people who are imprisoned in iron cages and don't know what their fate will be tomorrow, there is no trace of fear, depression and helplessness on their faces.

They just sat peacefully in the iron cage, not saying a word, not saying a word.

Even a child of three or two years old is just snuggling in the arms of his mother, with bright eyes open, looking at everything around him curiously.

Such a calm and composed state is difficult for the sergeants of Da Zhou who have been trained for several years.

This made Jiang Li even more curious about the Xiong people.

"The Xiong tribe used to be my great enemy of the Great Zhou. The Holy Majesty spared their lives, which is an extrajudicial mercy. These white wolves will not eat soft and hard, and will not eat oil and salt. They will not surrender to my Great Zhou. Naturally, the Holy Majesty will not let them horse riding!"

Just as Jiang Li was secretly looking at the people of the Xiangyu tribe, the old man Tu smiled naively, "Letting these white wolves mount their horses is like giving a sharp knife to the butcher who rushed into the flock of sheep, giving them a little Time is going to go against heaven again!"

"Old man, your words are too much!"

Xu Feng frowned and said: "So what about the strongest salvo in Kyushu? Qin was once the hero of the seven kingdoms, but it was not the same that it was destroyed by my Great Zhou. Today, the strongest salvo in the world should be my Great Zhou's Tengxiang Army!"

"Hehe, the old man talks nonsense, don't blame the official!" Old man Tu was not annoyed when he was reprimanded, he just smiled foolishly.

"Everyone, take care of yourself. There are a total of 160 and nine of these people from the Xuanxuan tribe. You can't buy them. The price is 7000 taels of silver!" Xu Feng cupped his hands and walked away.

The people of Dazhou have their own arrogance, even if they are just a small official, they will not tolerate any words that damage the majesty and morale of Dazhou.

"My lord, this deal is suitable!" Old Man Tu said in a low voice as he walked Xu Feng away.

"You asked me to buy these Xiong people?" Jiang Li was a little surprised.

"Young master, the skinny man's camel is bigger than a horse. Do you think that these people of the Yunyun tribe are forbidden to ride horses, so they really don't understand horsemanship and equestrian skills. If they don't have a lot of strength, how can they raise horses for Da Zhou?" The old man smiled.

"You mean..."

Jiang Li was slightly taken aback, his eyes flickered, as if he had thought of something, he looked at the iron cage closest to him.

In the iron cage, sat a man with dirty cheeks and an ageless Xun ethnic group. He was of medium height and thin body, but he had big palms with thick bones, half covered by the ragged clothes. in the sleeve.

Seeing Jiang Li's gaze, the man of the Xun tribe subconsciously retracted his palms, his eyes were lowered, but there was an imperceptible gleam, which disappeared in a flash.

"Sure enough, it's Lianjiazi!"

Jiang Li's heart moved, he glanced across the rest of the iron cages, and gradually made a decision in his heart.

"Master Xu, I want all the members of the Xun tribe in the stall!"

Jiang Li walked out of the stall, and put the 3000 taels of silver bills he was carrying in front of Xu Feng, "I will order someone to deliver the remaining taels of silver tomorrow!"

"Sir, do you really plan to buy it? Don't think about it again?"

Xu Feng was a little surprised. Although the people of the Xiong tribe had the reputation of being the strongest salvo in Kyushu, they had been in decline for many years and were no longer what they used to be.

What's more, there are many old and weak women and children in this remnant of the Xuanxu tribe, and the asking price is 7000 taels, which is only set according to the usual practice.

From Xu Feng's point of view, the 5000 taels for this tribe of the Xuanxuan tribe is not worth it.

The frontier army of the Ten Prefectures of Yunjing in the north sent this group of Yixuans to the Ministry of War just to reduce the supply of some rations.

If there is no aristocratic family to buy it within [-] days of placing it in Beishi, it will be sent to the deep mountains and old forests for mining.

"My son has studied the books of sages since he was a child, and admires the heroes and legends that have disappeared in the classics the most. What he bought is a feeling!"

Old Man Tu curled his lips and said, "I can't miss your payment, you just need to open a bill!"

"You old man, I just kindly remind you!"

Xu Feng glared at Old Man Tu angrily.

Seeing that Jiang Li was silent, he didn't bother to ask any more. He just accepted the silver and issued a deposit contract, "Young Master, please note that when the final payment is settled, the labor service department must confirm whether the relatives of the young master are the noble families registered by the imperial court. Conditions, the deposit is non-refundable!
"In addition, the labor service department is also responsible for escorting the transport. Young master will leave the address, and the labor service department will directly send these Xunyun people to the mansion!"

"Master Xu, don't worry, before the market closes tomorrow, I will order someone to deliver the remaining silver taels and seals on time!"

Jiang Li put away the deed, bid farewell to Xu Feng, left Beishi with Jiang Xuanxin, Mo Yunliang, and Old Man Tu, and headed for Zhenwuhou Mansion.

"Xuan Xin, release Bi Falcon to contact Luo Ying, I want to ask Princess Yun Le for a token!"

Jiang Li wrote a note on the horse and handed it to Jiang Xuanxin. The latter put the note into the wooden tube, tied it to the Bi Falcon's claws, and let it fly.

Beishi belongs to the Ministry of War. Before leaving Shengjing City, Jiang Li could not let the Hou Mansion know of his secret preparations. Naturally, he could not use his identity to buy and redeem the people of the Xianyun tribe. He could only temporarily borrow the name of Princess Yunle.

"Mr. Mo, you go back to the inn and wait for my news. Once you get the token of Princess Yunle, you will go to Beishi for me, buy all the people from the Yixuan tribe, and let the labor service department send them to the farm outside the city!"

When passing a fork in the road, Jiang Li gave instructions in a low voice.

A month ago, Mo Yunliang disobeyed the order of the eldest lady and did not compromise his longevity to increase his skills for Jiang Xuanyao. He should not appear in the Hou's mansion and has been living in the inn since his return.

"Mo takes orders!"

Mo Yunliang nodded, he tightened the reins, and was about to leave when he suddenly noticed something, raised his brows, and yelled loudly: "Young master, be careful!"
