After Lu Songli and his team entered the boundary of Jizhou, they slowly advanced northeastward and the villages became denser.
Their group did not enter the village, and there were more than fifty people. The situation of entering the village was too big, and they were afraid that it would cause panic. I went to Qingxi Village before, because it was because it was snowing heavily in the heavy winter, and sleeping in the wild would freeze to death.
They usually find places to stay near the village and try not to disturb the villagers.
Living next to the village, it is convenient for them to change things.
I don’t know how to start, but their convoy will exchange supplies with local villages for some local unique land.
Although they have sufficient food, it is good to change their taste occasionally. After all, their supplies were brought out from Chang’an City, and the locals were willing to exchange them.
In addition to local specialty foods, Lu Songli and others also consciously collect some local high-quality grains.
Then the opportunity happened during an exchange. An old man from the local area took half a sack to collect the rhizomes of herbs that he had dried, and wanted to exchange them for some fabrics from Chang’an City.
Xiao Wu, who is responsible for exchanging materials, is not sure and it is difficult to exchange it with him.
This scene happened to be seen by Lu Songli, and she walked over, “Wait, I’ll take a look.”
Lu Songli not only looked at it, but also broke a small piece with her hands and chewed it.
She recognized the half-sack of Chaihu, which was cylindrical or oblong conical, which was Shexian Chaihu. Its roots are thick, with dark brown or light brown on the surface, hard and tough, difficult to break, with a slight fragrance and a slightly bitter taste.
Chaihu and Forsythia in Shexian were national geographical indication products in later generations and were also commonly known as authentic medicinal materials.
The old man talked happily, “Mrs. Don’t look at the herbs of my sack, but it can really be exchanged for money.”
Lu Songli smiled and said, “Uncle, I believe you, your sack is actually a medicinal material called Chaihu. You can exchange it for money when you go to a pharmacy in the city.”
The old man gave her a thumbs up, “Yes, every year, people who make medicinal materials in our county come to our village to collect this medicinal material.” After their village knew that this thing could be sold for money, they would go to the wild to collect it and sell it to vendors who came to the village to purchase it.
“In addition to Chaihu, are those medicinal materials merchants still purchasing another medicinal material in your village?” Lu Songli said about Forsythia.
The old man gave a thumbs up again, “Mrs. You are aware of the goods.”
“Uncle, we want these Bupleurums. Just tell him what you want.” Lu Songli pointed at Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu cleverly stepped forward and greeted, “Uncle, what kind of fabric do you want? We brought a lot of them when we came out of Chang’an City. Come and have a look?”
The old man followed forward with a smile.
Lu SongLi returned to the temporary garrison with half-sack of Bupleurum, and she looked at the half-sack of Bupleurum and fell into deep thought.
The gold, silver and treasures they seized from Qinglong Village have not been distributed yet, no, they have not yet rewarded them according to their merits.
However, the plan for rewarding merits has been determined.
The tone of the entire plan is: the whole team has a share of everyone, after all, everyone takes risks together.
It’s just that there are differences between members who contribute more and less, so that the contributions vary in size and the rewards they receive varying. If distinguished by the size of members’ contributions, it is tentatively divided into five echelons.
Everyone is very happy about this plan.
When it comes to rewarding merits, the Qin family is naturally the team that gets the most money.
Because of the first echelon who contributed the most, the Qin family occupied four people, and Xu Zheng and Yang Wei were also in the first echelon.
Hu Guangcong and Yang Zifa, deputy of Yang Wei’s escort agency, and four officers are considered the second echelon.
The third echelon was naturally the soldiers in charge of reconnaissance led by Qin Sheng, and they also made a lot of efforts.
The fourth echelon are the escorts from Yang Wei’s escorts, who are considered to be attacking the outsiders.
The female family and children of the Qin family are considered the fifth echelon. They focus on participating and receive the least reward, at most they are counted as personal expenses.
And because Qiu Hai’s private warehouse was discovered by Qin Sheng, he rewarded Qin Sheng and the soldiers who were patrolling with Qin Sheng at that time.
These seized property should have been rewarded according to merit and the distribution of gold and silver property should be put into personal pockets. But Xu Zheng, Yang Wei and others considered that they still needed to travel a long distance, and if they held it themselves, what if they lost it? It’s better not to distinguish them first and place them on one or two carriages together to facilitate guarding and not easily throw them away. Before arriving in Pingzhou, it will be distributed to individuals.
Their concerns are reasonable, so the property was not distributed for the time being, but the amount of gold and silver that each person gets is recorded.
Lu Songli was thinking about these things, mainly because she couldn’t stand so much wealth being idle.
