Rifted teeth ran to Qu Ya with a big smile, and also showed off her new clothes in surprise: "Uncle Qu Ya, look, look, this is given to me by the Niu tribe."

Cotton clothes have good breathability and are very comfortable to wear on. Although it is winter, the room is very warm when closed. Sitting by the fire pit and drinking hot broth, hot sweat surges. This feels much better than wearing a thick, breathable animal skin robe.

The cracked teeth that had been taken after taking a shower were much better than usual. The surface of her fleshy face turned healthy and red. She was very excited and curious about everything in the room. She held a steamed bun in her hand, imitating Aju, broke the steamed buns from the middle, picked up the pickled cabbage with chopsticks and stuffed them in, and then closed them, and bit them down with indescribable expectations and happiness.

A clean environment can indeed make people feel happy. Looking at the tribesmen who were having a meal with laughter around, Quchi's uneasy heart gradually calmed down.

After eating and drinking, people gradually dissipated.

Under the guidance of Xu Kun, Qu Chi walked into the room exclusively belonging to the leader of the village.

"Are you finished eating?" Tianhao's smile was a little casual, but more polite: "Sit down, I want to have a good talk with you about your future work."

Qu Ya's mouth was busy agreeing, and carefully sat down on the chair, with his butt only half of the chair, and his tight legs were kept standing up at any time.

The brave Pig tribe never despises themselves and dares to face any powerful existence.

Quchi has met many tribal leaders and even the king of a clan. But for some reason, even the king who holds powerful power is far less majestic than the young leader in front of him and gives him greater deterrence.

This seems to be because of the power generated by wealth.

The amount of delicious broth is enough, a brand new set of cotton clothes. Just these two things, the curved teeth feel that it is enough.

Not only myself, but all the tribe members who followed him have such treatment.

How much does it cost if the pig (pig) god is above?

Tianhao spoke straight to the point: "I plan to build a ramp at the mine cave in the peat excavator. In the future, it will be much more convenient for you to come in and out."

Quchi calculated the number in his mind: "This scored half of us."

The queen obviously didn't care about the details: "Tomorrow I will send someone to draw a specific ramp direction for you. Another problem is your peat mining every day."

He slowly raised a finger, and the expression on his face was rather cold than calm: "One ton cannot be lower than this number."

Quchi thought for a while and asked tentatively: "Did you say it was actually dug out or transported out of the hole?"

"Of course it's transported out." Tianhao picked up the hot tea placed on the table and took a sip: "So I ask you to repair the ramp first, so the speed of carrying peat can be accelerated. Of course, the work of building the ramp will be included in the daily mining volume combined calculation. The ramp construction time is tentatively set to one week, and the peat excavation task during this period is reduced by half, with an average of 500 kilograms per capita."

This condition is not harsh in the view of curved teeth and is completely acceptable.

He was thinking about another thing in his mind: "Ahao, how did you calculate the rewards... about us?"

"Reward?" Tianhao looked at him with a strange look: "Didn't I have already negotiated when I went to Gushan Village before? The food per person is twice as high as the daily ration."

"I know." This answer did not arouse Quchi's strong concentration, but instead increased his inner uneasiness. Quchi was brewing words in his heart, and he asked with a trembling question: "I mean, are the things we eat today...? Is it the same calculation?"

Tianhao stared at him for a long time, and five seconds passed: "Do you think... you have eaten too much?"

Quchi nodded slowly hesitantly: "If we take what we usually eat, then there may not be much left in the end."

"…so…” The dull voice even felt vague when he listened to the bells, but he really didn't have the courage to increase the volume: "Can you...can... reduce the daily food supply to us from tomorrow?"

A trace of pity appeared deep in Tianhao's eyes: "How much do you want to reduce?"

"Three quarters." This is the answer that Quchi had already thought of: "I have to bring more food back."

"If you do this, the rest will not be enough for you to eat." Tianhao shook his head.

A bitter expression appeared on Quchi's face. He wiped his rough face hard and looked down at the pot of charcoal fire under his feet.

"The food in the village has never been enough. At this time of winter every year, the village almost had to be out of food. The number of people assigned to each person is very small, and my elder brother was forced to help with the work... Ahao, you are a good person... Really! I have helped the lion tribe fight and the tiger tribe kills people. The price they offer is only half what you give. Digging peat... This is a good job, much better than killing people in war. Compared to the past, our trip is more like enjoying our happiness."

This is Qu Chi's heart.

He had never eaten such delicious fish soup at once.

It turns out that the feeling of taking a bath with hot water in winter is so wonderful, so comfortable that it makes people want to lie down forever, and they don’t want to get up when they fall asleep.

Qu Chi wore cotton clothes for the first time in his life. They were soft and light, and they could hardly feel the weight. After putting on the clothes, he became cautious, afraid of being broken. Qu Chi made up his mind and took them off after returning to the room and took them back to the village for his wife.

With this outfit alone, he felt that the reward given by Panshi Village was enough.

"Actually you don't have to worry." Tianhao, who has been paying attention to his emotional changes, opened his lips and said slowly: "I will calculate the reward according to this standard for each person's rations per day. So you can feel at ease to eat enough. When the contract ends, I promise you can bring back enough food."

The heart that had become colder in the flexion became hot again: "You, are you saying true?"

"Including the set of clothes I sent to you today. In addition, there is another set tomorrow, which is two sets per person." Tianhao smiled slightly: "So you must complete the workload specified every day in order to get full rewards."

Quchi suddenly thought of another possibility. This idea burned his brain like a fire, making him feel hot all over: "If... I mean, the more we do, the more peat we dig, will we get more food?"

"certainly!"

Tianhao's eyes became more and more smiling: "You must pay attention to fairness when doing things, and you can get as much as you pay."

...

Tiger tribe, the territory of the Claw Division, Yuanshui City.

By the standards of the civilized era, the city is not large in size, with just over 70,000 residents.

The brick and stone walls are very strong, which also demonstrate the strong economic strength of the Tiger tribe. Horse trading has always been one of the most important economic sources of the Tiger tribe. They have been doing this kind of business for thousands of years and have obtained enviable and generous profits.

The God of Winter will not give preferential treatment to anyone, and the cold covers the entire earth when it is time to come. People run in the wind and snow, and there are not many pedestrians on the road, and their footprints are soon covered by heavy snow.

The leader of the hundred people tightened his leather robe, looked at the gloomy sky outside the door frame, and walked out with his feet.

Half a year ago, a business called "Shengxinglong" appeared in Yuanshui City.

Doing business in this barbaric world is much simpler than in the civilized era. There are no cumbersome industrial and commercial registration procedures, and there are no various documents that need to be copied. Just register with the city management department and pay taxes on time.

When Changxing walked into the "Shengxinglong" store, he saw that it was densely packed with people.

"Give me fifty kilograms of peat, hurry up."

"I said, I've been waiting for most of the day. When will it be my turn?"

"Hey, the one in front of you should stop going to the line! You are talking about you, why are you pretending to behave? Get out of here quickly and follow me honestly. If you dare to go to the line, do you believe me and kill you with one knife?"

There were a long queue of up to hundreds of people, from the store to outside the store.

Seeing this scene, Changxing couldn't help but smile bitterly and slowly shook his head.

In Yuanshui City, the power of "100 people" is far less than that of small-scale villages. There are dozens of "1000 people" in this city, and there are also several "1000 people" who hold great power.

Changxing's identity is more special. He is an official in charge of business. According to the relevant regulations issued by the Tiger King, the cities in the Tiger tribe's territory are divided into frame-like areas, which is equivalent to drawing nine grids on the city floor plan. Changxing's jurisdiction is located in this area, which is usually responsible for collecting taxes, mediating commercial disputes, counting the collected money and materials in the month, and then transporting them to the city lord's mansion, that's all.

The terrain near Yuanshui City is open, with only a few ups and downs. The surrounding woods have long been cut off. Although there are many weeds to use, firewood has to be transported from other places on a daily basis. Fortunately, firewood is everywhere, as long as you are willing to spend your energy to cut trees. The tiger people in Yuanshui City don’t spend much money on fuel, and the surrounding small tribes and villages are very willing to do this kind of business.

This year's situation is a little different.

The "Shengxinglong" business started selling peat since the beginning of winter.

Changxing personally experienced the benefits of this thing: there will be no smoke when burning, and you can burn it directly in the house to keep warm. After burning it, there will be not much peat ash, and it is very convenient to clean it. The most important thing is that this thing is very resistant to burning. The burning time of a piece of peat is equivalent to firewood of five to seven times the same volume.

The Lion King is comprehensively promoting the monetization reform of the entire barbarian race. As a close allies bordering the lion race, the tiger clan naturally accepts it completely. However, not all tribes agree to the use of metal currency, so the commercial trade in Yuanshui City is still mixed with a considerable amount of barter.

Changxing knew that the boss of "Shengxinglong" was named Zumu, who was a member of the Niu tribe.

These things must be reviewed when filing for construction of a business, and no one can make a falsification.

Speaking of which, peat is indeed better than firewood. What is more important is that it is cheaper. According to the normal consumption of a family of five, the cost of burning peat is only two-thirds of the firewood.

Since the beginning of winter, the "Shengxinglong" business has become bigger and bigger.

They now monopolize all fuel supply in Changxing's jurisdiction.

As a head of a hundred people, Changxing was very dedicated. He reported this to the top, but the reply he received was not a big deal. In fact, standing at a higher position and looking down, this matter is no big deal. Yuanshui City is divided into nine districts. It is normal for a cattle business to monopolize more fuel supply. As long as it is a person, he has to eat, and he will inevitably have to cook water and barbecue. Moreover, everyone sees the benefits of peat. Although firewood is cheap and is a business that several nearby tiger villages rely on for their livelihood, the villagers are really cunning. In order to sell more money, they often soak the firewood in water and then dry the surface, so that they can weigh more weight.

The wet firewood is hard to burn. Many business officials, including Changxing, have received similar complaints.

In contrast, "Sheng Xinglong" who pays taxes on time and never cheats on goods is simply the conscience and benchmark of the industry.

No wonder the business is getting bigger and bigger and more prosperous.

Looking at the crowd in front of him, Changxing hesitated and did not step forward.

There is not much fuel at home, and only a few pieces of peat I bought last time were left, but seeing that it is now, it will take at least more than an hour to get in my mail.

"Hey, isn't this Changxing brother? When did you come? Why don't you say it?"

A surprise voice came from behind. Changxing turned around and saw that it was Zu Mu, the boss of "Sheng Xinglong".

This is a young man with a smile on his face at any time. He is tall and has broad shoulders, and his facial lines become round from below his cheekbones, rather than the common triangular sharpening. This makes him look cute. Although he is not fat, he is born with a double-layer chin line.

Zumu has the kind of familiar nature. He went to the official office to do things and met Changxing. After chatting for a few casual words, he started calling him brothers and brothers.

Changxing was a little rigorous and was somewhat uncomfortable. He responded with a dry smile: "...I... come here and take a look."

Zumu's eyes flashed with a shrewd look. There were many people around him, so he pulled Changxing to a secluded corner with few people and asked with a smile: "Brother Changxing wants to buy peat?"

He asked the key point directly, and Changxing didn't know how to answer. He subconsciously said "Oh", nodded, and then disappeared.

"If you want peat, just say it, you don't need to travel far away." Zu Mu complained a few times, "How many do you want? Is two hundred kilograms enough?"

Changxing hesitated and did not answer. He turned his head and looked at the people queuing in the distance: "This... is not very good! I see everyone is queuing..."

"What do they do?" Zumu interrupted him directly: "Brother Changxing, you are not an outsider, why are you queuing up! In this way, I will send someone to the back to fill peat and send it directly to your house."
