Chapter 297 Don't Waste Your Efforts
Chong Shan immediately wanted to deny it.

His intuition told him that he must never admit in front of the Beiliang people that they wanted to try to cultivate the fields.

The reason why from Emperor Ji to now, hundreds of years, dynasties have changed, and they have ignored their nomadic people is because their living habits are to live by water.

Living without a fixed place, not knowing how to cultivate the fields, and having to feed on cattle and sheep, this is the trouble they have never been in the heart of the Central Plains.

However, Chongshan felt extremely sad.

They are not strong enough to be insignificant. No one wants their group to be so humble that they can't even be called a threat.

They are always looking for changes and better development. Raising war horses is the first step, and wanting to try farming is the second step.

Now that Jiang Yuanxi's people have seen them raising war horses, if they can exchange war horses for food, it will be a happy thing for everyone, but hundreds of war horses, if they can really exchange enough food, they will be able to survive this winter. Living well, the old, weak, sick and disabled people don't have to die in the cold winter, and they can also have the confidence to try farming.

But this idea cannot be admitted in front of the Beiliang people, Chongshan intuitively felt that the Beiliang people would not allow them to act like this.

Chongshan has read a lot of books in order to make the ethnic group grow stronger. He feels that whether it is Tianzi Ji or the current Beiliang people, they can thrive in the Central Plains and keep suppressing them, nomadic peoples, because they know how to farm.

Chongshan's lips moved, and before he could say anything, Jiang Yuanxi waved his hand and interrupted what he was going to say, "Master Zuo Xianzhe, don't deny it in a hurry, the reason why I said this is not to test you .”

Chongshan slandered in his heart, if this is not considered a temptation, how could it be considered a temptation?

"I want to tell you that you can't farm, and if you don't talk about it in vain, it is very likely that you will be displaced."

Jiang Yuanxi's tone was leisurely, as if he didn't know how much his words would affect Chongshan.

After all, Chongshan is the sage left, otherwise he would not have let King Laiha rest assured that he would be fully responsible for this matter. Even though he was anxious in his heart, he could hold back on his face and asked in a tone that seemed unintentional: " I don’t know why the county magistrate said that?”

Jiang Yuanxi smiled at him, "Why should I tell you?"

Chong Shan immediately felt that the smile on her face was extremely hateful.

The second prince glared at her, and the rest of the people from Kazakhstan who could understand Beiliang dialect also looked at Jiang Yuanxi angrily, very angry at her disrespectful attitude towards the mountain.

Jiang Boyong and Jiang Boxin were still calm, but the leader of the caravan was already frightened. Didn't Wu Niangzi just say that she must buy a war horse? Why did she keep teasing him when people from the Ha tribe came to their door?
Chongshan understands the saying that those who know current affairs are heroes, and understand the truth that people have to bow their heads under the eaves. This is Beiliang, Danyang County, and the county government. Chongshan thought, if Jiang Yuanxi kills them all, come here. King Ha would not go to war with Jiang Yuanxi just for their lives, even if there was King Ha's second son among them.

Before coming, King Laiha had a secret discussion with him. If they don't come back after five days, the tribe will migrate. They are developing, and the tribe's vitality must not be seriously injured for the lives of a few people.

So Chongshan immediately lowered his figure. He is also a smart person, and he no longer asked Jiang Yuanxi why he was so sure that they couldn't grow the land. how?"

He took the initiative to lower the price, and if Jiang Yuanxi wanted to negotiate this deal, he would tell him the reason.

"Master Zuo Sage, how smart do you think you are compared to your predecessors?"

Jiang Yuanxi smiled, "Could it be that before you, no one thought of trying to find a place to stay on the grassland and learn how we plow and weave in the Central Plains? Then why hasn't anyone in the grassland succeeded until now? Zuo Xian Sir, don’t you think that your predecessors will be so useless that they can’t even get some food from us?”

Chongshan's heart was shocked, yes, Jiang Yuanxi was right, there must have been ancestors who had thought of this idea before him, so why have they never heard of a tribe settling down in one place?
Chongshan's lips twitched a few times, and he wanted to continue asking Jiang Yuanxi why, but he also knew that the county magistrate had a temperament of not seeing rabbits and not hawking, so he would not be willing to tell him the reason simply like this.

So he continued to ask: "I wonder if my lord thinks my price is reasonable?"

Jiang Yuanxi smiled again, "Of course it's unreasonable. Didn't I say that you want so much food that you won't be able to grow the fields? Don't waste your efforts."

The second prince couldn't bear it anymore, and said in a choked voice: "Who told you that we need food for farming, can't it be for filling our stomachs?"

Chongshan applauded the second prince in his heart, and let the second prince say what he was inconvenient to say.

Jiang Yuanxi propped his chin, and turned the teacup with his right hand casually, "We men in Beiliang only have a one-stone ration for a year. Since it is to fill our stomachs, isn't it just right to exchange a horse for one stone of grain?"

The second prince suddenly became angry, "How can it be the same! Those are all war horses! Do you know what a war horse is? Not all horses can be called war horses!"

Jiang Yuanxi was still lazy, "I know what a war horse is, so what, I'm not used to fight anyway."

Knowing that Jiang Yuanxi wanted war horses to build a cavalry, Jiang Boyong and Jiang Boxin said: "..." Wu Niang's skin became thicker.

"Then why did you buy the war horse?" the second prince asked in astonishment.

"Use it to plow the fields!" Jiang Yuanxi took it for granted.

The second prince almost vomited blood, pointing at Jiang Yuanxi's trembling fingers, "Violence! Violence!"

Instead, Jiang Yuanxi looked at him with admiration, "Our knowledge of the Central Plains is pretty good."

The second prince was half dead with anger.

Chongshan took this opportunity to look at Jiang Yuanxi carefully. He didn't believe Jiang Yuanxi's nonsense about using war horses to plow the fields. If they were used to plow the fields, they clearly had cattle in their tribe. Wouldn't it be better to buy cattle? The word "cow" is not mentioned.

As always, people from the Central Plains are full of duplicity, nonsense, secretiveness, and duplicity.

Jiang Yuanxi, who didn't know that he was such an image in Chongshan's heart, still looked at the second prince's helplessness of "I really want to beat you, but I dare not do it".

"Master County Magistrate, the men of our Ha tribe eat a lot. We need to eat three stones of grain a year. Why don't we exchange three stones of grain and one stone of coarse salt for a war horse?"

Chongshan bargained again, and at the same time looked at Jiang Yuanxi expectantly. He even lowered the price on his own initiative, so he should have told him why he couldn't farm.
