Chapter 1215: Distant Alliances and Close Attacks (Part 3)
Chiyou suddenly thought of a possibility, and he hurriedly asked: "Huaxia, do they also have people like the Miao Father who can treat illnesses for others, just by using various kinds of Grass?"
Bingzhu clapped his hands: "That's right, Father! Huaxia has quite a few people like that!"
That Changle is the one who knows these things, though it seems he mainly identifies various kinds of Grass and searches for different medicinal materials; in any case, he is especially able to talk with Ayuduo.
Huaxia doesn't just search for various kinds of medicinal Grass; they also look for those that look good, as well as some strange and peculiar trees. In any case, as long as it looks relatively special, they like it and want it.
That Changle told me that if we could send the kind of relatively special Grass or trees from our Jiuli to Huaxia, he himself could use things to trade with us; in any case, he would certainly have a way to turn them into greater value."
Chiyou began to slap his own thigh. The more Bingzhu spoke, the more confused he became, and he grew even more curious about what kind of tribe this really was. He was completely unable to imagine it, nor could he understand it; it exceeded his cognition by too much.
Deep in thought, Chiyou could not help but stand up and pace, as if this activity could reduce his worries, but Bingzhu continued to add more.
"Huaxia wants those various strange and peculiar trees just for looking at them. They say they are good-looking, so they plant those trees in their own courtyards and in front of their houses, just for the sake of beauty.
They can spend a large amount of manpower and resources for such trees, Grass, and flowers, letting Soldiers go into the mountains and forests. No matter who it is, as long as they can find a good-looking one, someone will use grain to trade with them. This is the part of Huaxia I understand the least, but they have indeed built their city exceptionally, exceptionally well. By comparison, our place here is like where savages live.
And then there is the Xuanyuan Tribe. Hasn't the Xuanyuan Tribe's city, Qingqiu City, already been visited by many people who say it is incredibly good? We also thought Huaxia City was at most just a little bigger than Qingqiu City, but after we went, we discovered it was completely different.
Qingqiu City is far inferior to Huaxia City. It seems they even say that Qingqiu City itself was built with Huaxia's help. In any case, the Xuanyuan Tribe also paid a great price for this."
The Leaders who had been to Qingqiu City were also a bit shocked. They had not expected that the Qingqiu City they thought was so extraordinary was not even as good as Huaxia. They had even been preparing to build a Jiuli City.
Chiyou hurriedly raised his hand: "Alright, alright, stop talking for now and let me think about this properly."
Bingzhu hurriedly shut his mouth. Along this journey, they had wanted nothing more than to describe what they had seen and heard, as it was all too unbelievable. However, the Soldiers traveling with them had already heard it countless times and were almost sick of listening to it. But back at Jiuli, telling it made everyone feel it was just too incredible.
Although Chiyou did not want to listen anymore, there were others who did. Those Leaders pulled the three of them aside, whispering to ask about their doubts and the things they wanted to hear, chasing Bingzhu and the others for answers.
Shi was heartbroken listening from the side. He had not expected that the one called Changle would have such a status and be so wealthy. He could not even give Ayuduo those Silk items, let alone a room paved with Silk. It seemed he had not lost unjustly, but he now did not even have the heart to listen to gossip.
Chiyou walked over to those few boxes himself and opened them one by one to inspect them. Besides Silk and Porcelain, there was also the Glass he had not yet had time to look at. When he picked it up, he could actually see things behind it; it was completely transparent.
However, this did not make Chiyou feel too shocked, because he had seen this kind of material before. Although he had never seen such a large piece, it could certainly be found. As long as one found a large enough crystal, couldn't one make a cup like this? Huaxia calls it Glass, he calls it crystal; there is no problem with that.
There were also a few gourds, which he had also seen. Such utensils were still relatively widespread on the land, and everyone used them, as they were very useful.
But he discovered that this one could be opened and there was something inside. He shook it; it should be water, but why would one put water in here?
He opened the stopper, and a very thick, fragrant aroma rushed into his nose. His nose instantly felt much clearer. As an excellent Miao Father, Chiyou immediately understood that this was a very good thing and could be used as a medicinal material.
He beckoned with his hand: "Bingzhu, come here, what is this thing?"
Bingzhu hurriedly broke through the crowd's encirclement and ran to his father's side. Looking at the gourd, he hurriedly introduced: "Father, this is the Wine Huaxia gave us. What is in the gourd is only a small portion. They call this a gourd."
"There are also a few large jars inside containing a lot more. Because we were afraid of breaking them, we didn't carry them in; they are outside, and there are Soldiers watching them."
"This is Huaxia's medicine?"
Bingzhu saw his father sniffing deeply and immediately took out a small cup from the side and said: "Father, this is not medicine; it is what the people of Huaxia use to drink. And after drinking too much, one will have a dizzy feeling; it is very special.
We drank it on the day they held the sacrifice for Ayuduo and Changle, and we drank a lot, a lot."
"Father, you can taste it. It's just that the taste doesn't drink as fragrant as it smells. Once you drink it, your whole body feels hot. Drinking this in Winter is especially good. It's just because it's relatively difficult to carry, so we didn't bring much this time. It was also a gift from Huaxia to us."
Bingzhu poured a small cup for Chiyou. Chiyou did not resist the temptation and took a sip; mainly because it smelled fine and was also especially fragrant.
As soon as the Wine entered his mouth, Chiyou frowned, then bared his teeth and smacked his lips. After all, everyone is like this the first time, but his expression frightened the other Leaders, who thought there was something wrong with the Wine.
After Chiyou drank it down and felt the changes in his body, he quickly determined that this Wine was a good thing, but it could not be drunk in excess. Just like tiger blood, drinking too much had no benefits and was instead harmful; after all, all medicine is like this.
There has never been any medicine that is not poisonous; it is only a matter of the degree of toxicity. Even the best medicine, if drunk too much, will harm the body.
"Good stuff, good stuff. This must be kept. This Huaxia is truly extraordinary to be able to produce such things, and to be able to give us so much at once. It seems that trading with them is indeed worth considering."
