Origin

Whether borrowing money or borrowing things, the essence is asking others for help. It is a sign of affection for others to help, and it is normal not to help. After all, money and materials are not enough for everyone.

Wu Zhongyuan was not only moved but moved by the Yi people's generous help. The 40,000 kilograms of rice, grain, fish and meat were a real help in times of need for the Xiong clan who were almost unable to open the pot. As for Huang Youyun and Lu Juntian's proposals, he declined. The Yi people could help. This is no longer easy, but you can't let others starve in order to feed your own family.

Based on the time they arrived, the Yi people deduced that they came with empty stomachs, and hurriedly ordered people to prepare meals. During the dinner, they also mentioned that in addition to rice grains, they also needed dragon oil for heating and lighting, and leather for sewing shoe scabbards. We will also do our best to provide necessary salt and other supplies.

Wu Zhongyuan did not hide his gratitude and thanked him repeatedly. In addition, he also solemnly stated that he would fulfill his promise and protect the foreigners.

Yu Qingdu and others were inexplicably moved when they heard this, and they raised their glasses frequently and made toasts.

It is undeniable that the aid provided by the Yi people to the Bear Clan is part of seeking asylum, but this cannot deny the sincerity of the Yi people. All those who provide help to others hope deep down in their hearts that the other party will appreciate their kindness. I hope that the other party will repay kindness with hatred and be ungrateful.

The Yi people like to entertain their guests with wine. Wu Zhongyuan had a drink with the Yi people before. That time, a group of people poured wine into him, and finally he ran away. This time, only three city lords drank with him, but he still He was not an opponent. Seeing Wu Zhongyuan's face flushed after drinking, Wu Di was worried that he would lose his temper after drinking. Wu Di hurriedly took care of the trouble. Don't underestimate women. Wu Di had a good drinking capacity and drank and vomited Yu Qingdu and others.

Wu Zhongyuan not only did not blame Wu Di, but also gave him a thumbs up secretly. He had experienced the hospitality of the Yi people, but the Yi people's drinking style was very problematic. It seemed that if they did not get the other party drunk, they would not be well received.

Customs are also something that can be continued and inherited. The Yi people are the ancestors of the Lu people, and the temperament and folk customs of the Lu people are still the same until now. Enthusiasm and hospitality are in their bones, and they are not good at conspiracy.

To say that they are not good at conspiracy is actually an understatement. To put it bluntly, it means that they are a little lacking in that. Sometimes they do not need others to slander and slander themselves, but they themselves are blackmailed. A person from Hongxiang Technical School can do this to everyone in the world. Everyone thinks that Lu people can drive excavators. Everyone thinks that Lu people are worthless when they are fucked by a blue Huifu doll. Everyone thinks that Lu people will hit themselves with a wooden stick when they are happy. head.

As we all know, people will be excited after drinking alcohol, and they will feel more relaxed when they are excited. Wu Zhongyuan was very touched by the Yi people's help, and reciprocated the favor. He offered to let Wu Di teach the Xiong clan's Qi training method to the Yi people. The Yi people selected one hundred young men and women and rushed to Youxiong after the festival to participate in the Five Elements test of the Bear Tribe warriors, and then were given the corresponding Five Elements stunts.

Wu Di frowned secretly when he heard this and winked repeatedly. Wu Zhongyuan just pretended not to notice, waved his hand, and made the final decision.

Although Yu Qingdu and others drank too much, they were not so drunk that they did not know the seriousness of the matter. They were very happy when they heard what Wu Zhongyuan said. They were afraid that he would change his mind after he sobered up, so they hurriedly bowed to express their gratitude and confirmed the matter.

"There is only more than a month left. Even if we practice Qi immediately, it will be too late by then..."

Before Wu Di could finish speaking, Wu Zhongyuan interrupted her, "It's easy to say, but it's really impossible to get some Qi-tonifying pills for them."

Yu Qingdu and the others were all watching eagerly, and Wu Di couldn't say anything. He just glanced at Wu Zhongyuan helplessly, and secretly blamed him for acting recklessly and too hastily.

Wu Zhongyuan's move was to teach people how to fish, and it had a long-lasting and far-reaching impact on the Yi people. The Yi people were so moved that they added another 20,000 jins of rice, fish, and meat to the 40,000 jins of rice, grain, and fish, saying they would rather eat the chaff themselves. You can't starve your benefactor even if you don't have food.

This is the role of wine. Sometimes it can really bring people closer and enhance friendship. Seeing the foreigner dig out his heart and lungs, Wu Zhongyuan wanted to give him something in return. Seeing him reaching out to take something out of his arms, Wu Di broke out in a cold sweat. He hurriedly dragged him out with an excuse.

"What do you want to do?" Wu Di glared.

"Give them a nine..."

"What can I give you?" Wu Di looked around, "You're drunk, right? Why are you so indifferent?"

"I'm not drunk," Wu Zhongyuan took a deep breath to sober up. "The Yi people are not good at practicing qi, and there are no masters of purple qi. If a war breaks out, we will inevitably have to send people to help defend the city. Instead of sending people here, it is better to join them. A lotus seed..."

"You still don't admit that you are drunk," Wu Di pulled him to a secluded place again, "Have you ever thought about how they would divide a lotus seed between you and them if there were three of them? Besides, what about the Yi people? You have seen your temper. If you give us more generous gifts, they will definitely need more rice. They have already spent all they have. If you give us more, what will you let the Yi people eat?"

Wu Zhongyuan raised his hands to rub his face and did not answer. Not long ago, the old blind man had criticized him for being too generous. It seemed that he was so, and he accidentally got sick again.

Wu Di added, "The Bear Clan's martial arts skills are the foundation for the Bear Clan's survival. How can you easily spread it to others? Have you ever thought about the consequences? What if they turn against us in the future?"

"No, I believe them. The Yi people are loyal and honest, and they will never turn against us." Wu Zhongyuan shook his head.

"Have you only been with them for a few days?" Wu Di frowned.

"Although I don't have much contact with them, I have dealt with their descendants a lot. I lived in this area five thousand years later and know their temperaments very well." Wu Zhongyuan said seriously, as the bloodline and customs continued. There are many things, including loyalty. Since ancient times, no Lu people have rebelled and become emperors, not one of them. Finally, a bandit leader surnamed Song emerged. He had no ambitions and only wanted to be recruited.

Wu Di was so angry that she couldn't refute, so she just sighed.

Seeing Wu Zhongyuan turning around and wanting to go back, Wu Di hurriedly stretched out her hand to hold him back, "Stop drinking. You should leave earlier. Leave the rice and grain transfer to me."

"That's fine," Wu Zhongyuan nodded. "The road has never been opened, so there is no way for carriages and horses. I leave Dasha to you. It can carry heavy loads."

"Okay, how are you going to distribute it?" Wu Di asked.

"What's your opinion?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

Wu Di thought for a while and said, "If the rain and dew are all wet, each walled city will distribute some. With Dasha's help, I can deliver them all within half a month."

"Okay," Wu Zhongyuan nodded in agreement, "The conditions in the walled cities we visited when we came here should be relatively good. The food shortage in the walled cities near the Niu tribe to the west is probably more serious. You don't want to distribute it equally. Look at the number of people and grain storage in each walled city."

"Don't worry, I have my own sense of discretion." Wu Di nodded.

"Don't ask for so much," Wu Zhongyuan said, "just fifty thousand catties. If we take away sixty thousand, the life of the Yi people will be very difficult."

Wu Di raised her eyebrows and looked at him.

Wu Zhongyuan added, "When they select a hundred people, you will teach them the Qi training method of the Bear Clan."

"The bloodlines of the Yi people and the Bear clan are very different, so I'm afraid there will be obstacles in practicing the mental method." Wu Di said.

"Probably not," Wu Zhongyuan shook his head, "Although the Qi training methods of the three tribes are different, they are also similar. The differences in bloodline do exist, but the Qi training method should have little to do with bloodline."

Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan was determined, Wu Di could only reluctantly agree.

"I'll go in and say goodbye to them." Wu Zhongyuan turned to leave, but suddenly remembered something and stopped and turned back, "According to your estimate, how much more rice, grain, and meat do you need to find to alleviate the Bear Clan's famine?"

Wu Di thought for a while and said seriously, "It will cost at least 200,000 catties."

Seeing Wu Zhongyuan's surprised expression, Wu Di smiled bitterly and said, "The Bear Clan has struggled to have enough food and clothing in recent years, and many people starve to death every winter. Last year's rain was very bad, so the harvest must be very poor, and the war with the Niu Clan cost a lot of money." The supply of rice grains makes misfortunes never come singly and adds insult to injury. The 200,000 kilograms I mentioned is still a conservative estimate. It is based on the efforts of the major Yuan cities to save themselves by hunting and gathering in winter. If they just sit back and have nothing, this will not be enough. In addition, it is also a debt of gratitude to you. We found purple sweet potatoes last year, and we can continue to harvest them in April next year. Otherwise, it will take at least July to survive the lean period."

"Another two hundred thousand is needed." Wu Zhongyuan said to himself.

"Don't worry too much. The current predicament of the Bear Clan is caused by Wu Ao and it is not your fault." Wu Di comforted.

Wu Zhongyuan sighed and turned around without answering.

Wu Zhongyuan returned to the room and greeted Yu Qingdu and others, then summoned the Qinglong Armor and took off to the west under the watch of everyone.

He had also swallowed Hua Persimmon before, and when wearing the Azure Dragon Armor, he could dissolve everything outside of him, including weapons and cloaks.

On the way to the west, Wu Zhongyuan's mood was extremely heavy. This time was no different than in modern times. Everyone was worried about their livelihood. There were very few tribes like the Yi people with surplus food. The measurement units at this time were not very different from modern times. One hundred thousand kilograms is one hundred tons, which is not a small amount in modern times. Where can I find it?

Before sunset, he went to meet Li Wanzi, Wu Qin and Jiang Dahua respectively. He had greeted the three of them earlier, and the three of them also agreed to use the stored grain to support the Bear Clan. Each of the three donated a piece of rice grain. Wanjin and Li Wanzi have two walled cities, and Jiang Dahua has three. However, the two of them received less hundred-day rice grains. However, Jiang Dahua's three walled cities were divided from the Niu tribe. Compared with farming, The tribe is better at herding.

The rice grains donated by the three people were personally sent to various walled cities of the Bear Clan. On average, each walled city could only receive about a thousand catties, and the carriages and horses could not pull it. The most important thing was that Through this move, the relationship between Yuancheng, the headquarters of the Bear Clan, Jiang Dahua, and Li Wanzi can be brought closer.

In addition to rice grains, Li Wanzi also promised to send some weapons to various Dayuan cities. Jiang Dahua said that while sending rice grains, he would drive some cattle and sheep there. The rabbits brought by the black widow were still in Daze. This time Daze supported You can distribute rabbit seeds to all the food and grass in various large cities.

At this time, Black Widow and others had just arrived at the city where they had settled, and were busy cleaning up and settling down. Wu Zhongyuan did not disturb it. Although Black Widow still had a lot of supplies, they were capital that could easily be exchanged for profit, and they could not be taken advantage of. .

After arranging the affairs of the headquarters, Wu Zhongyuan left Gushan and headed for Nanhuang. This time has something in common with modern times, that is, life in coastal areas is relatively affluent. Wei City where Zhu Qianwei is located should also have some food reserves. Li Wanzi The people sent to greet him were probably arriving at the end of the field soon. He wanted to go there in person and urge Zhu Qianwei to leave for the north as soon as possible...
