Yingbao and Wei Zhan talked and gestured, and took out a handful of maltose and handed it to the dirty, naked children.
The child took it and put it into his mouth immediately.
In an instant, they screamed with joy and surrounded Yingbao, trying to ask her for another piece.
Yingbao took a branch and drew a few pictures on the ground, meaning that if she wanted to eat candy, she had to exchange it with crops from her home.
It doesn't matter what, even vegetable seedlings will do.
Most of the children didn't understand, but the adult savages did. They immediately went home to find some seeds and gave them to the black-haired witch.
Yingbao took the seeds and checked them one by one, and found that there was a very strange crop, about the same size as soybeans, and long and flat.
She used her hands to communicate with them: "Can I eat this?"
Yellow Curly nodded.
In the end, Yingbao exchanged wheat for a lot of these beans.
When leaving, those people kept asking her if she would come again, and they seemed reluctant to let her go.
Yingbao thought about it, and with a wave of her hand, she built two neat rows of thatched houses for them.
The yellow curly-haired savages were stunned and knelt down to express their gratitude.
Yingbao and Wei Zhan left and went to several places to collect a lot of crop seeds.
"It turns out that there are so many races under the same sky as us." Wei Zhan couldn't help but sigh when he saw a group of dark savages.
These savages were truly savages. They could only make strange clicking noises. Men, women, old and young were all naked and lived in low huts built of branches. They ate raw meat and drank raw blood. They were skinny but very strong. When they saw Wei Zhan and Ying Bao, they howled and threw stones and sharp spears. They were even more savage than the yellow-haired savages.
Yingbao saw that these savages didn't even know how to grow crops. They owned large tracts of fertile land, but they lived like monkeys in the forest. When they were hungry, they went hunting and picking wild fruits. When they were full, they lay on the ground motionless or played with **.
Seeing this, Wei Zhan hurriedly pulled his wife away.
After several twists and turns, they finally found a city.
Although it is called a city, there are not many people in it. Most of the houses are very rough, and the streets are smelly and muddy, full of sheep, horses and human feces and urine.
Wei Zhan had seen more than once that people living in stone houses dumped their feces and urine directly onto the streets, with maggots and flies everywhere.
Holding back his nausea, Wei Zhan grabbed his wife and ran away again.
Yingbao held him back and whispered, "Let's buy something before we go."
After finally finding a place that resembled a city, she wanted to see what specialties there were.
"Okay." Wei Zhan covered his mouth and nose with his collar, followed Ying Bao and looked around.
There are very few shops in the city, and if you ignore the tall stone castles, it looks like a market town.
Yingbao quickly found a jewelry store, took out two porcelain vases and asked, "Do you want this?"
The jewelry store clerk's eyes widened. Although he didn't understand what the black-haired stranger said, he still understood what she meant.
The clerk ran into the inner room and said to a middle-aged man, "Sir, there is a stranger in the store selling oriental porcelain."
The middle-aged man stood up and hurried to the shop, and sure enough, he saw two exquisite porcelain pieces on the counter.
There were only beautiful and graceful oriental beauties painted on the porcelain, as well as exotic flowers and plants, and a few lines of incomprehensible Chinese characters.
That’s right, this is the oriental porcelain that is worth a fortune.
but... ...
The middle-aged man looked at the oriental man and woman in front of him, and saw that they were all dressed in gorgeous oriental silk, and he couldn't help swallowing his saliva.
I have been doing business for so many years, but this is the first time I have seen someone wearing such exquisite silk clothes. The hem of the skirt is dragging on the ground. It is such a waste of resources.
He rolled his eyes and asked, "You want to sell porcelain bottles?"
Ying Bao and Wei Zhan looked at him.
The middle-aged man held up a finger and said, "A gold coin and a pair of porcelain bottles." He actually wanted to say a silver coin, but he didn't dare to say it. It was not because he was afraid of them, but because he was in awe of the silk they were wearing.
In order to make the two understand, the middle-aged bearded uncle took out a gold coin from his pocket and shook it, then pointed to the two porcelain bottles: "One gold coin, two porcelain bottles."
Yingbao roughly understood it, raised a palm, and turned it over: "Ten gold coins."
She saw that the coin in the man's hand was indeed made of gold, and each coin weighed about four cents.
Four qian of gold could be exchanged for about four taels of silver, but the porcelain bottle he took out only cost one tael of silver.
The middle-aged man frowned and stared at Yingbao unhappily: "Ten gold coins for a pair of porcelain? Are you crazy?"
Seeing his unfriendly tone, Yingbao also frowned and took the porcelain bottle away.
The middle-aged bearded man was shocked to see that this woman knew witchcraft, and he shouted quickly, "Stop!"
However, Yingbao and Wei Zhanli ignored him and just left.
The middle-aged bearded man chased after them, but they were nowhere to be seen. He could not help but beat his chest and stamp his feet.
His silk just ran away like that.
Yingbao took Wei Zhan to several places and finally reached a consensus with a duke in the city to sell him a batch of silk and some porcelain.
The Duke was very generous. He accepted the dozens of pieces of silk and more than a dozen plates, bowls, and porcelain bottles that Yingbao took out, and gave them gold coins on the spot.
Yingbao took the big bag of gold coins she earned and happily went home with Wei Zhan.
Wei Zhan stayed in the Divine Mansion and began to plant the crops they had purchased.
After a few days, the crops gradually matured. There was a kind of rhizome that had a very high grain yield, and one tree could produce a large bunch of crops. Wei Zhan called this crop "ground egg".
People in a certain place take this as their staple food. They wash it, boil it with water, peel it and eat it.
"Yingbao, let's give the ground eggs to the villagers to plant." Wei Zhan enthusiastically gave the cooked ground eggs to his wife to taste.
In the future, if people have this kind of crop, they will definitely not go hungry anymore.
Yingbao picked up a cooked egg and tasted it. It was indeed delicious. "I didn't expect that place to have such high-yield crops. Wei Zhan, let's go around again in a while. Maybe we can find more high-yield crops."
Although the Great Zhou seems to be a country of peace and prosperity, in fact, many people in the countryside still do not have enough food and clothing.
Originally, the yield of grain per mu was about 1-2 dan, which was barely enough to survive after paying taxes. If a natural disaster occurred, the whole family would have to starve. However, the yield of eggs per mu was extremely high, and one mu of land could produce about 1,000 jin.
The yield per mu is more than a thousand kilograms. After deducting taxes, the rest is enough to feed the whole family.
"Okay!" Wei Zhan happily cast a spell in the field to stimulate the growth of crops.
This time he and his wife brought a lot of exotic crops from foreign countries. He wanted to plant and check them one by one, and select the most efficient ones to give to the villagers to plant.
Nuan Nuan came running over, followed by Jiang Jie's youngest son Jiang Qi. "Dad! Mom! What are you doing?"
Yingbao: "Your father is growing vegetables. It just so happens that you have practiced the Changchun Jue, so go and help him."
"Okay!" Nuannuan ran over, her fingers flying, and she made out some spells.
The seedlings grow slowly, like a dancing dancer.
Yingbao sat in the rocking chair, watching the scene quietly, her thoughts flying far away.
If the population of Da Zhou was large enough, she wanted to send them to all parts of the world to reproduce and thrive there.
From now on, the whole world belongs to the Great Zhou.
