Chapter 312
Si Cheng just smiled and didn't say anything. If the old man didn't have a smile in his eyes, he might still believe it.

"Come on, let's go back and discuss it later." Si Cheng felt that standing here was a little unbearable, after all, the smell of snakes and wild boar excrement coming up from the trench was unbearable.

Of course, Patriarch Wu has no opinion. After all, he has seen the experiment that needs to be seen. Now he is bound to get this batch of medicinal materials. The next step is to see the results of the discussions between the two parties.

On the short way back to the village, the Wu patriarch made many drafts of bargaining in his mind, but when he got to the place, he was dumbfounded.

"This is the ratio of materials we exchanged with several surrounding villages. You can always check for yourself, our villages treat them equally." Si Cheng took out the list of items exchanged with several other villages and placed them in front of him.

Various exchange ratios, including all daily necessities and food, etc., the head of the Wu clan made a simple statistics in his heart, and found that Pinghe Village is simply a lucrative business.

But he didn't expect that this was just a part of it, and it was also the latest exchange list.

"Don't look at the high exchange rate, but you have to know that these medicinal materials have been planted for a long time, and they haven't reached their medicinal properties within a certain period of time. Some of them are more troublesome than growing crops." Si Cheng saw His reaction was immediately explained to him.

"That is, even if I don't know much about Chinese medicinal materials, I know that it is definitely not as simple as growing crops. It's just that we are in urgent need of many of these things, and it is impossible to exchange them for them." Patriarch Wu also knew his own Most of the whole family is cattle and sheep, but this is also their important property in the future. Of course, it is good to talk about the conditions a little higher.

"We don't beat around the bush with you. Our village has taken a fancy to your cattle, sheep and horses, and wants to exchange some medicinal materials with you. Of course, this needs to be matched with males and females. After all, we also need to expand breeding." Si Cheng knew. Both sides knew the bottom of their hearts, so they directly opened up the conversation.

With the two of them coming and going, constantly probing and bargaining, Sicheng exchanged [-]% of the village's existing medicinal materials for two horses and six cattle and sheep, just like this, the Wu patriarch was so distressed that he burst into tears.

Just as Patriarch Wu was about to leave, Si Cheng stopped him.

"Patriarch Wu, some villagers in our village want to exchange supplies with you for horses in private. I wonder if it is possible?"

"That won't work." Patriarch Wu hurriedly shook his head, "You have also seen that there are only a few horses in our clan, and the two horses we replaced just now
The horses that have just grown up are given to you, and the rest, except for a few that are in their prime, are all old horses. "

Hearing what he said, Si Cheng no longer insisted, "How about other animals? Then let them exchange seeds."

Patriarch Wu was stunned for a moment. It seemed that he was really old. He was only focused on exchanging medicinal materials and completely forgot about the seeds.

He looked at the young village chief in front of him, and saw the smile flashing in the corner of his eyes, and he knew that all of this was planned by others.

"Change," he gritted his teeth, "but there should be more types of seeds. If there are farm tools, it's best to use some."

"Farm tools are indeed more difficult. When you went to the countryside, didn't the army allocate some to you?" Si Cheng knew that the pig iron dug out of the previous warehouse in the city was basically used to make farm tools.

"Yes, I have, but the quantity is too small, and two or three families can't even allocate one set." Farm tools are the foundation of farming, so they can't just use their hands to plan.

"To tell you the truth, we also wanted to change some farm tools this time, but they were all rejected. But we do have some construction tools, I wonder if it is possible?"

"Building tools?" Patriarch Wu was also very tangled, after all, he had made up his mind to build some wooden houses or thatched huts to make do with it.But since he arrived in Pinghe Village, he was also moved to see such a neat house.

"Your house is not made of cement, is it?" Wu Patriarch stood up and walked to the corner, carefully observing the mud layer between the bricks.

"This is a compound made of limestone from the back mountain. It has good adhesion. In Xinsan Village opposite, they used compound soil and crushed stones to build a wall. We just came here and saw it."

"God really favors people on your side, as if everything has been arranged for you." Patriarch Wu was really jealous now.

"If this is the case, then you will also be favored immediately."

"I just don't know what price we have to pay for this limestone?" Patriarch Wu's heart began to bleed.

"Look at what you always said, the limestone is stored in the back mountain. Generally, anyone who needs it can get it by himself. Our village does not intervene."

Si Cheng found that the moment he finished speaking, the eyes of Patriarch Wu lit up, and he suddenly felt that this old man was actually quite cute.

"See if this works. When I get to the mountain, I will see the specific situation and decide whether I want to exchange this batch of tools with you." Patriarch Wu also wanted to determine the type of exchange according to the conditions on the mountain.

"Of course, but at this point, I still suggest that if you can carry some limestone into the mountain tomorrow, everyone should carry some limestone into the mountain. After all, the mountain also needs to be defended. "

"Thank you for the reminder, otherwise we are all at a loss and don't know where to start."

"In fact, there are still some things that we didn't tell the military at the time, and we also concealed it from you."

"?" Patriarch Wu looked at Si Cheng inexplicably, and he was almost at the door, and there was nothing to hide.

"It's actually not a bad thing." Si Cheng took out the previous drawing paper and pointed to one of the places, "This is the old den of wild boars. There are about twenty or thirty big wild boars here. There are a dozen or so small wild boars in our river ditch. It was brought back from here."

Patriarch Wu saw that it was not far from the place where they planned to settle down, so he couldn't sit still, "Then what should we do? I don't know if Captain Xiao and the others can clear the payment, it's too dangerous, mainly because we still have so many Poultry, it’s not good to be frightened at that time.”

"The wild boar's skin is a bit thick, and it may be difficult to shoot from a long distance. I just don't know if you want to keep them for breeding?"

Village Chief Wu was a little moved when he thought of the wild boars raised in the trenches in the back mountain, but he quickly shook his head and refused.

"No, our village has already raised so many cattle and sheep, and what we value most is this plain, so we should find a way to exterminate these wild boars. At that time, we will have to ask Village Chief Si for help." Since the other party was able to bring back so many young wild boars under the eyes of so many wild boars, it showed that they were very capable, and now they could only point to the other party's ability to help them solve this matter.
