Chapter 774 Chapter 774: Four Kills, Layout (4)
Before Jiang Yanji ran to the Alliance, Wei Ci explained a secret task.
Now that the Alliance is coming to an end, the caravans dispatched by Wei Ci have also arrived in northern Xinjiang one after another from different routes.
The three ethnic groups in northern Xinjiang were bewildered by the sudden horse plague. Not only was the military's combat power damaged, but the economy was also in a state of weakness.
The big horse farm was severely damaged. The royal court gave some subsidies and support to some extent, but the little horse farm and ordinary herders were blood-stained.
Several caravans entered the northern border, and they were all surprised when they saw a slump and no longer lively and prosperous.
"How long has it been? How did Beijiang become like this?"
Not only do they want to know about this problem, but also the countless families of herders in northern Xinjiang want to know why this is so!
Before the horse plague, North Xinjiang was a confidant of Dongqing.
In North Xinjiang's eyesight, Dongqing is just a piece of blood-stained fat, and sooner or later they will be bitten into pieces and swallowed in the stomach.
After the horse plague, everything changed.
First, the horse died suddenly from the disease and survived less than 10%, and then the horse fever spread further and ravaged ordinary horses.
The quality of ordinary horses is not as good as that of well-trained warhorses. After the outbreak of horse plague, the death rate is even more shocking!
"... You also know that since this king came into power, he integrated the three tribes of the northern territories, which has caused the northern army to increase its combat power. The king of the royal court is not satisfied with this and is still ambitious ... Just to attack Dongqing? In order to cultivate a large number of war horses in a short period of time, the royal court even urged ordinary herders to encourage large numbers of horses. Ordinary herders can buy foals from the horse farm and sell them to the horse farm after they are raised. Many Herdsmen profit from it and attract more and more herdsmen to raise ... "
"Many herders saw profitability, sold their cattle and sheep to raise horses, and many people borrowed money to raise ..."
Speaking of which, the caravan's old man snorted, and his hoarse voice was a little more gloating.
"Now a horse plague, all horses raised by ordinary herders for a year or two are dead."
Everyone took a breath.
They understand it. For many herders in northern Xinjiang, horses are silver money.
A horse fever plagued their hard work and money.
After years of busy work, I didn't make any money, instead I lost my pants.
Except for those with rich families, many ordinary herders are too poor to eat, and countless people have broken their homes.
At this moment, a businessman said with emotion, "Poor ..."
Some people disapprove, ridiculing and sneering, "Where are they pitiful, and it is clearly the northern court that is making too much evil. If they were not ambitious, where would herders be led to keep cattle and sheep instead of raising horses? Now they have caused horse plague, so we can see God opened his eyes. "
At that time, most ordinary herders were grazing sheep and raising horses.
Because of several calls from the Royal Court of the Northern Territory, the herdsmen reduced the number of sheep and cattle and switched to raising horses in large numbers.
If this were not the case, these herders would not have fallen into ruin.
Obviously the pot of the northern court, but in the end, the ordinary people paid for it.
"Shut up." Everyone heard the shock, and quickly warned, "This is the northern border. If it is heard by the barbarians, do you want to die?"
This caravan went on for a while and received very little sheepskin, rabbit skin, dried mutton and dried rabbit meat.
"The herders don't raise sheep much, how much dry goods can we receive?"
Looking at the dry goods received, many people frowned.
It took them so many days to receive such a little stuff, how to deal with it in the future.
"Isn't it? How much do you collect? Anyway, we don't worry about selling, just collect it. If you collect more, you will earn less."
This is the case. Several caravans strolled around the three ethnic groups in northern Xinjiang and received less than 20,000 sheepskin and rabbit skins.
If you leave it in the past, you can receive 30,000 or 40,000 sheepskin rabbit skins if you close it casually, and there are more dried mutton and dried rabbit meat.
The sizes of these caravans are large and small, as if they were normal. They did not attract official attention. In addition to sheepskins and rabbit skins, they also bought a lot of special products unique to northern Xinjiang, and privately with those ordinary herders. It was agreed to come back in two or three months.
Having said that, the caravan is not optimistic about the prospects for the next acquisition.
"For these goods, I don't know how many people have left ... next time I come, it is estimated that even a mosquito will not receive ..."
They have bought all the goods that they can buy, almost cleaning up the reserves in the homes of ordinary herders.
They will come again after two or three months. They are willing to pay a high price, and the herdsmen cannot get the goods.
A business man interjected, "After a while, the pastures in northern Xinjiang should be abundant, and the herdsmen can raise more rabbits and sheep ... Anyway, the horses they raised are dead, and the ranch is also alive. Raise a little animal that can feed the family. "
No longer wanting to feed their families, these unlucky herdsmen are hungry and weeding.
The merchant continued, "Look at me, the rabbits are good, the cubs are strong, and they are raising fast."
The growth cycle of sheep and rabbits is different. You cannot raise many sheep in two or three months, but you can raise rabbits.
If you want to get enough food and clothing in a short time, raising rabbits is a good choice.
The northern Xinjiang ranch is so large that there are grass everywhere, and it is convenient to raise rabbits without having to worry about feeding.
At this time, some people put forward different opinions.
"According to you, they only raise rabbits, and we can only accept rabbits. I don't know how much money to lose at a trip."
The leader of the caravan made a sound, it doesn't matter if it is authentic, "People in Marushu are rich and like these things ... We walk down the business road and make twice as much as we do. We will not lose money. Mosquitoes are small but they are also meat. Rabbit meat earns less, but it adds up quite a bit. "
"... But ..." Someone hesitated. "No matter how rich Maruju is, you can't keep doing business at a loss ..."
The caravan's argument gradually faded away.
Not only do these businessmen do not know the purpose of Maruju, even the people of Maruju do not know what medicine is sold in the gourd.
"What does the protagonist let you do? Now it is spring ploughing, and then sheepskins and rabbitskins will be collected, I'm afraid they will rot in my hands."
Feng Jin looked coldly for a while, still unable to guess Wei Ci's true intention.
Wei Ci naturally could not disclose the specific content. The fewer people who knew the plan, the better.
If Feng Jin guessed it by themselves, it would be another matter.
Wei Ci shook his head and said, "This matter is confidential. If there is no answer from the main character, kindness cannot be leaked. If Huaiyu is curious, wait for the main character to triumph, then you ask her. As for sheepskin and rabbit skin ... Although spring ploughing, But the animal skins acquired are not useless. The entire Marushu has been included under the lord's lord, and the number of people has soared. I do n’t know how much more than a Xiangyang county. If you do n’t prepare for the winter in the coming year, you wo n’t panic. Are you in a hurry? Think of us as we plan ahead and plan for the coming year. "
