Xiao Ji looked at the lists in his hand and felt filled with emotion.
Everyone in the world said that merchants were profit-oriented and ruthless, so they were very repelled. Little did they know how the Jin Dynasty could develop like this without these merchants who walked the streets and sold goods.
Similar to Jinling City, this Liangzhou City is also a city where merchants gather, but Xiao Ji has been guarding it for many years, and the previous old **** also worked hard for Liangzhou, so this is the first city in the northwest. statement.
The Feng family is also a prominent family here for a century. As officials come and go from generation to generation, a rule has been passed down from the ancestors.
When the dynasty exists, the family will prosper; when the dynasty falls, the family will die.
Hence he never stingy his family's wealth and was happy to do anything for the Jin Dynasty, the people, and even foreigners.
It is precisely because of this that those people brought back by Xiao Muqian have a place to stay.
Enough food, shelter from the wind and rain, soups and medicines sent by the medical officer, everything fell on the foreigners.
In the past, they never thought about surrendering to Beidi or Jin Dynasty. They always felt that freedom was the most comfortable.
Now that I have experienced this, I feel that it is not a bad thing to have a place where fallen leaves can return to their roots.
So after staying for more than ten days, the person who was the best at Jin dialect among them approached Xiao Muqian as a representative.
General, thank you for saving us.
"You have said this many times, don't always say this when you see me, Anli."
The man called Anli is now the new leader introduced by the foreign tribesmen. The reason is simply because he can communicate normally with the Jin people. Many things are discussed by him. Therefore, he will naturally have to go back and forth. Take responsibility for the stability of the entire clan.
General, if we want to stay in Liangzhou, can we?
Xiao Muqian frowned, what does staying in Liangzhou mean? Are they planning to put down roots here?
Seeing that he was silent, Anli quickly said, "We won't eat and drink for free, we can work! Don't be afraid of getting tired!"
What An Li said was true, but Xiao Muqian didn't know what he meant by staying.
You mean that all the clan members will stay in Liangzhou City and live down there?
"Um."
But arent you used to moving around? Will it not affect you if you stay here rashly?
Anli smiled bitterly. The habit of migrating was just a way to maintain dignity. They neither raised cattle, sheep, or horses, nor chased the grasslands, nor did they have ethnic conflicts. They had been migrating for so many years just to survive.
Thinking of this, Anli looked at Xiao Muqian more firmly and said.
"If people have a house to live in, they won't build a shed, and if they have food to eat, they won't dig up grass roots. I don't want the children to have to go through the hard days in the past, so General, can you please take us in? We have the strength. You can work, the elderly and women can knit clothes, and by the way, there is a blacksmith in our clan who is very good, he can make anything, iron pots, iron carts, and iron hats, he is very powerful!"
Hearing what he said, Xiao Muqian couldn't help but let out a sigh.
It is not that difficult to make this living utensil. An ordinary blacksmith in the city can complete it, but such people are very rare among their tribe.
It's not that he doesn't want to take them in, but he's worried that they won't be strong enough to survive here.
Although Liangzhou City is tolerant, it cannot always take care of them. If you want to stay, you must find the ability to survive so that you can live a stable life. So after thinking for a moment, he said solemnly to Anri.
"I can't promise you directly now. I will take my second uncle and the head of the Feng family to see you in the shed in an hour. You ask your tribe to take out all the things you are best at and let's take a look. If you really have the ability to do it in Liang, If you want to survive in the city, then just stay.
Okay, okay, I wont let you down!
Anli's excited answer made Xiao Muqian a little embarrassed.
An hour later, the four people arrived as promised.
Fengshan also brought his wife Hua over this time. She is smart and has a unique vision. She has made a lot of money for the Feng family through many methods, so it is not surprising to have her come to see him together.
When the four of them walked in, they saw Anli and his tribe were ready.
As soon as they entered the shed, they saw some exquisite woven fabrics with patterns they had never seen before. Uncle and nephew Xiao Ji didn't understand much about these things, so they all looked at Fengshan and Hua.
Fengshan didn't quite understand these items from his daughter's house, but Hua's eyes lit up. He walked a few steps forward and picked up the knitted items. He couldn't help but exclaimed, "I have been doing business for so many years and I have never seen anything like this." The craftsmanship is just some ordinary threads, but they can be woven so vividly! Who made this?"
Anli translated her words to the tribe, and soon the women and old people of the tribe stood up somewhat shyly.
One of them spoke to Anri quite eloquently, and he got the answer.
"Grandma Man said that this is the simplest style. If there are enough silk threads, she can weave better, and so can the women in the tribe. This is passed down from generation to generation. Mothers teach their daughters, and grandmothers teach their granddaughters. !
Hua Shi nodded. From her point of view, if these patterns were applied to clothing and jewelry, it would be eye-catching. That would be much more valuable than this knitted fabric.
Can you do needlework?
Anli was a little confused, so Hua changed her explanation, "Can you sew clothes?"
Yes, yes, women can do it.
Hui was just talking about it, but Hua wanted to see the truth, so he found a knife and cut off a piece of fabric on the hem of his clothes. There was some exquisite embroidery on it. With this cut, the silk threads in many places were gone. Disconnected.
He handed over the cloth and said bluntly, "If someone can sew this thing well, then I, Tiansi Pavilion, will ask her to be an embroiderer. How about one tael of silver a month and triple it at the end of the year?"
One tael of silver has no concept in the minds of the Anli people, so Hua smiled and said it another way, "You can buy a thousand steamed buns a month."
One thousand steamed buns is a number they have never thought of.
So everyone was pleasantly surprised, and immediately stepped forward to take the cloth and began to mend it.
As expected, he is a very ingenious person. He can make all the ready-made clothes of his tribe, so this kind of sewing is not a problem.
Once one person repaired it, the material that was originally broken into two pieces was repaired perfectly. Although the stitching seemed a bit rough, this thing can be taught.
Selected a dozen with good intelligence and told them directly that they could go to Tiansi Pavilion to work tomorrow.
With her arrival, she has taken care of most of the women's places. The remaining ones, who are more or less good at cooking, have been integrated into the Feng family's shop and go to the kitchen to follow suit.
