Chapter 247 The Return of the Eldest Son
The goods brought by each tribe were placed in an empty house in the tribe. Su Ying went in and began to check them one by one. She found that the medicinal herbs grown by these tribes were indeed different. When added together, the varieties of medicinal herbs increased a lot.
Protector Orange followed Su Ying, and the two of them quickly completed the inspection.
"Does City Lord Su think there is any problem?"
Su Ying shook her head. "Everything is fine. You can give the list to Protector Cheng and he will give you the money."
"Thank you, City Lord."
After checking the list, Orange Protector simply distributed the silver he brought to the people of each tribe.
When they received the silver, smiles appeared in the eyes of the tribesmen, as this was their food money for next year.
"I have a list of medicinal materials here. Anyone who can read can take a look and see which tribe can grow the types without circles." Su Ying took out the paper that she had shown to Patriarch Zhang before and handed it to them.
A very handsome young man stepped forward, took the paper and read it carefully. Although they all lived at the foot of the low mountain, due to their different locations, the moisture and quality of the soil for planting were also different. They have been growing medicinal herbs for generations and know more about them than ordinary people. As soon as they see the names of the medicinal herbs on the list, they know which ones can be planted in their own tribe.
Su Ying asked Protector Orange to register them, and write down what each tribe can grow and how much they can grow. When the time comes, she will have someone send the medicinal seedlings or seeds over.
"As long as you can grow it, I will buy it and I won't give you a bad price."
The people in the tribe didn't expect Su Ying to be so easy to talk to.
"Some of these medicinal herbs were actually planted by the tribe over the years, but because there were not many buyers, we replaced them with other herbs. Don't worry, City Lord Su, as long as there are no natural disasters or man-made disasters, these herbs can basically be successfully planted."
"Okay, then I'll trouble you all. Also, I didn't bring a car this time, so I need you to deliver the herbs to Tiankui City. I will pay for the round-trip fare."
When the tribesmen heard that she wanted to pay for the journey, they quickly refused, "We will just send it to City Lord Su. City Lord Su is too polite to ask for travel expenses."
If they don't want it, Su Ying won't force them. She will just compensate them with other things in the city.
After explaining everything to them, Su Ying went back to the previous house with Protector Orange, "You make some preparations today, and take them and the herbs back to the city early tomorrow morning."
"Isn't the city lord going back?" Orange Protector asked without thinking. As soon as he asked, he seemed to have done something big wrong and shrank his shoulders in fear.
Su Ying looked at him, as if he was waiting to be punished, and was speechless.
"Orange Guardian."
"City Lord, please calm down. I shouldn't ask too much about your decision."
Su Ying exhaled a breath of foul air, "You are just asking normal questions, I won't punish you, get up."
The Orange Protector quickly looked up at Su Ying and saw that she was indeed not angry, then he stood up tremblingly.
"I'll go around a bit, you go back first."
"Yes, City Lord."
The next morning, Protector Orange led the tribesmen and drove cartloads of medicinal herbs to Tiankui City.
"Lord Su, where do you want to go? Although we can't see you off, we can still show you the way."
Su Ying unfolded the map in her hand and pointed to an icon on it that was closest to the tribe's location. "I want to go there and take a look."
According to the annotated records, Zhang Nuo said that a large number of cattle and sheep were raised in this area. From the description in the records, the living habits of the people here were very similar to those of a nomadic group. Since she had already come out, she didn't mind traveling to more places to get a deeper understanding of the situation in the Northern Wilderness.
"Here, if the city lord wants to go, he should go from behind the tribe and head north. But I heard from Nuoer that there is a big rift here, and it's not so easy to cross it."
"Whether it's easy or not, you'll know after you go and see it."
"Then City Lord Su must be careful..."
"Afu, mother, I'm back."
Before Patriarch Zhang finished speaking, a hearty voice rang out in the yard.
When Zhang Shulun heard this, his face lit up and he said happily, "Big brother is back, big brother is back."
"It's Nuo'er who's back." Patriarch Zhang was also very happy after he realized what was going on.
After a moment, a tall young man with a tanned face came into the room with a gust of cold wind.
When Zhang Nuo saw Su Ying in the room, he smiled generously, "Afu, there are guests here."
After saying that, he turned to look at Patriarch Zhang, only to find something was wrong.
After recuperating for two or three days, Zhang Zuzhang's spirits improved a little, but his face was still pale and his blood looked very weak.
Zhang Nuo stepped forward nervously, "Father, what's wrong with you?"
It was cold, and most people in the tribe hid in their houses, whether day or night. When Zhang Nuo returned to the tribe, he did not notice anything unusual.
The joy on Zhang's face gradually faded, and he told him with a heavy face about the disaster that the tribe had encountered.
Zhang Nuo clenched his fists tightly when he heard this. "Those southerners are so abominable!"
"But fortunately, City Lord Su showed up in time to save us. This is City Lord Su of Tiankui City, our savior."
Zhang Nuo looked at Su Ying with surprise in his eyes. This was not surprising. At first glance, Su Ying was just a heroic and smart woman. How could she be someone who could stop a large group of people?
Zhang Nuo thanked Su Ying and said, "Thank you, City Lord Su."
"If you really want to thank me, take me around the Northern Wasteland."
Chief Zhang continued, "City Lord Su wants to visit the Shepherd Tribe you mentioned last time. Please lead the way for City Lord Su."
Zhang Nuo had just returned, and Patriarch Zhang was reluctant to let him go so soon, but Su Ying couldn't wait. She couldn't stay here forever and let the family reunite before leaving.
Zhang Nuo agreed immediately upon hearing this, "No problem, City Lord Su, please leave whenever you want."
Su Ying said: "You just came back, take a rest first, you can leave tomorrow."
"good."
After Su Ying finished speaking, she stood up and walked out, leaving the space to them.
After Su Ying left the house, Zhang Nuo asked in confusion, "Father, when did Tiankui City have a new City Lord Su?" As far as he knew, Tiankui City had always been ruled by the Queen, but it was tightly sealed inside, so he could not find out much.
Patriarch Zhang did not ask for too many details. He only learned sporadically from the Orange Protector that Tiankui City is now managed by Su Ying. As for what happened to the previous queen, they didn't know.
But he felt that things were good now. At least Su Ying was not like the previous empress, whose moods were not like those of ordinary people.
