Vol 3 Chapter 1716: -Not only horse heads, but cow heads

Facing the beast blood’s compelling question, Ji Thief was speechless for a while, and then waved his hand:
What and how long have you slept? Last night we drank it until the light was bright, didn’t you just wake up? Okay, brother, don’t ask so much. Come, come down and take a good look."
After getting on the boat board, everyone got off the boat one after another. After getting off, they all looked at the scene in front of them in surprise and exclaimed.
"It's really Qinggu Plain, it's really true, King, is this really just a day away?"
"Of course, can I lie to you? Go, let's go inside."
While talking, Ji Zei walked in the forefront, and everyone followed.
Going forward, not far, I heard the sound of horseshoes in the distance.
Everyone was taken aback for a moment, looking for reputation, but saw that a small group of combat tribesmen patrolling the border in the Qinggu Plain came from a distance.
After about ten rides, they came upright, holding bronze spears in each hand and bronze knives hanging from their waists.
When these more than a dozen cavalrymen saw the Ji thief and them, they also speeded up and rushed in, and the leader of the small captain made a battle order on horseback early.
Following his action, the dozen riders raised the bronze spear in their hands and pounced at any time.
Tai and Heiteng immediately reacted, how to say, they are also the body of a hundred battles, and this experience is still there.
Isn't that right? Seeing these more than ten riders arrived, the two of them took out their own hundred piping knives and water and fire ruthless rods and stepped forward and stopped in front of Ji Thief and the princes.
With such skill, the more than ten riders have already arrived, and shouted on horseback: "Who! I wonder if this is Qinggu Plain! Put down your weapons!"
Ji Zei looked back at the beast blood, and the beast blood exclaimed: "Grey wolf!"
The team leader on horseback was stunned for a moment, followed the voice and rubbed his eyes vigorously. When he saw that it was animal blood, he yelled: "My Lord Yiyong! Why are you? You are not in the east. Will the Lihuo Tribe of the Plain participate in the world's No. 1 martial arts meeting organized by the king?"
"Huh, are you all here?"
Beast Blood looked at his subordinate, so speechless, he slammed his mouth at Ji Thief.
The squad leader named Gray Wolf was shocked and looked over as he was chasing the blood of the beast. At this time, he was sweating all over his body. When he turned his body, he fell directly off the horse and ran a few steps. When he came to Ji Zei, he knelt down with a plop, blushed, and stammered in the air: "Big, big, king!"
The thief pushed away Taihe Heiteng who was in front of him, then picked up the gray wolf, nodded and smiled, and praised: "Yes, yes, loyal and brave. As a guard, you should have this kind of treatment to anyone. The courage to draw swords."
As he said, Ji Thief turned his head and smiled at the beast blood: "Brother, your tribe is very strong."
Beast blood is familiar with Ji Zei, and looking at Ji Zei's smile, you know that Ji Zei is not angry at all.
Isn't it? He breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest lightly, saying that it was all right.
Quietly, taking advantage of the gap between Ji Thief and the other great princes, the beast blood moved to the gray wolf, bent over, lowered his voice and asked, "Grey wolf, where is this place? Is it our Qinggu Plain? ?"
The gray wolf was puzzled by looking at the blood of the beast: "My Lord Yiyong, what's wrong with you? Why don't you recognize your territory? This is the Qinggu Plain."
Hearing that the blood of the beast groaned in his heart, he said that it was really Qinggu Plain.
"My Lord Yiyong, what's wrong with you?"
The gray wolf still asked inexplicably.
"Oh, no, nothing."
Upon seeing this, the gray wolf was even more puzzled, and asked if the animal blood contest was over, so he came back.
Beast Blood also replied in a dazed state, saying no, he just came back in a panic and took a look.
Hearing this, the gray wolf was speechless, and his heart was too idle to look back.
"Then what, it's okay, you go first."
"Yes, my lord."
Leaving the gray wolf away, the beast blood came next to Ji Thief.
When he came over, Ji Thief was smiling and explaining the benefits of sailing boats and the purpose of sailing boats.
When I heard from the thief that sailing ships could be used to better carry out maritime trade, just look, none of the princes present were not excited.
From yesterday to today, it has been proved that the speed of the sailing boat is feasible.
This is as fast as eight days a day, which means that the cost of escorting goods on the road has been reduced by eight times.
Let’s put it this way, in the past, if food was transported from the Eastern Plains to the Qinggu Plain, for example, ten prey were transported, then there would be two left.
The remaining eight were all eaten on the road.
It's good now. Give ten prey, and nine can be saved. This good guy, the efficiency is greatly increased!
The nine princes present had a hunch, if they were to conduct maritime trade as Ji Zei said, the development of the 27 territories in the north and the south would increase rapidly.
When thinking of this, clever princes like Eagle Takayama, all clapped their palms at the thief and boasted: "Oh, my lord, you are so smart? Tell us, how did you think of making a ship? The way?"
Ji thief smiled cheerfully: "Everyone, it's true that I have started preparing sailboats as a tool for future trade two years ago."
Everyone has a deceptive expression. Look at Ji Thief.
Two years ago, the territories were divided two years ago, and you just arrived at the place and haven't stabilized yet. At this time, you start to think about things two years later?
Ignoring everyone’s surprise, Ji Thief continued to smile:
Also, I told you that now, Usma is building No. 2 and No. 3 sailboats. It is expected to be completed in August and September next year. At that time, There is a sailing boat in the Northern Territory and a sailing boat in the South Territory. Everyone, imagine that the specialties of the Central Territory can be sent to the north and the south. The ones in the south can be sent directly to the north, and those in the north can also be sent to the south. Mutual exchanges and support. Next, then we must not take off yet."
Everyone who said something was excited.
Even the blood of the beast, he rubbed his hands: "The king, let's stop talking here, go, go to my territory, let's talk slowly."
The thief waved his hand: "Don't don't forget me, we have to go back quickly."
Everyone wondered: "Why?"
The eagle hissed: "Is it because of the game? Don't be afraid, it's still early. Even if we start tonight, we can catch up with the game."
The thief shook his head and smiled: "It's not because of the game, but because there is no dock in Qinggu Plain."
"Horse head? Haha, King, we all have bull heads." Beast blood slapped his belly and laughed.
Ji thief sighed: "It's not this horse head, brother, you misunderstood what I mean. I mean, there is no dock for sailing boats. If there is no dock, believe it or not, when we set off at night, we will dock on the shore. Your sailboat is gone?"
Everyone: "···"
"Then, then go back?"
"Don’t worry, brothers, this time I came to Qinggu Plain, just to try the speed of sailing boats, let you see the role of sailing boats. Now that the goal has been achieved, we don’t need to discuss it here anymore. Going back earlier, I will talk to you guys about the role of the dock and how it is made. After all, you guys don’t expect that when I leaned on the boat to deliver the supplies to you, the boat could not dock for a long time. , Did it happen that the cargo floated away in the end?"
All the princes groaned when they heard the words, and then in unison, they raised their heads and said: "My lord, what you said makes sense, let's go back. In fact, it's the same to go back to the palace to discuss it."
Ji thief was just happy.
After arriving in the Qinggu Plain, it was less than half an hour. Everyone got on the carriage again and set sail for the Eastern Plain.
On the way, the grand princes chattered endlessly, and asked Ji Thief about everything about the sailing boat.
It was like nine children who had not grown up, full of curiosity about everything.
The thief was also patient, and explained in detail to all the lords.
By the end of the night, everyone has no sleep.
The thief Ji, who was already sleepy, looked at the nine princes who were squatting on the deck, leaning on the railing with their hands, and asked: "My brothers, it's getting late, it's time to rest."
All the princes waved their hands: "My lord, you go to bed first, let's see if this thing can actually reach the eastern plain tomorrow."
Ji thief: "···"
