This is also part of the commercial district planned by Song Liyun.
Centered on Mida City, the surrounding tribes can also earn money.
Perhaps because they were both Di people, the old man's words reassured Nanka, and she immediately understood.
Our group of seven bought seven spoonfuls first, then stayed overnight outside the city, and came back the next day to buy another seven spoonfuls. That would still be quite a lot.
He looked at the shop assistant, but before he could speak, the shop assistant rolled his eyes and said, "We only care about who buys salt. One spoonful a day. You can buy it today or tomorrow!"
This has been the established rule for a long time, and these Di people are too slow-witted to understand it.
This means I can buy it one more time.
South Carolina's tense face, which had been tense since entering the city, finally broke into a smile: "Then let's buy seven spoonfuls today!"
I've bought the salt, and there are still a lot of other things I need at the department store.
Thinking that they would be going into the city tomorrow, Nan Jie and the others decided to put it aside for the time being and buy it when they left.
Feeling relaxed and full, the people of the Xuan tribe planned to explore Mida City thoroughly, including the hot springs where they could take a bath, so they could brag about it to their tribespeople when they returned.
This time, the group stopped before even visiting the second shop.
South Carolina, who was at the front of them, stared blankly at the group of people coming towards them.
Those were three beautiful young women from the Di ethnic group... and a string of little babies behind them.
That was Shayi, who had just come out of the bathroom, with her children who had changed into fresh clothes.
To be honest, South Carolina has never seen any of the Wu Dynasty's children, especially these twenty carefully selected ones.
Each one is also cute and pink.
The boys' hair was tied into a single bun on top of their heads and covered with a headscarf, while the little girls had double buns and headscarves of the same color. They were also wearing matching red short jackets and blue trousers.
On this simple street full of rough men, it is beautiful and pleasing to the eye.
As soon as the children stepped out of the bathroom, they were surrounded by people on the street.
Wan Jia Gu leaned against the door frame, coughing up melon seeds and chuckling, "These will be the lady's maids and servants from now on. We'd better keep our eyes open and recognize these little guys."
Another Wu Dynasty guard, who was strolling around, grinned and said, "What's so special about recognizing them? In Mida City, apart from the lady and her three maids, even the rats are all bachelors."
Now that there are these little children, even a blind man can tell they are people from the lady's side.
The guard said this, but his eyes remained fixed on the children.
The guy is right.
The lady and her maids rarely went out; from now on, it will probably be these little children who go out to buy things.
Once he gets to know everyone well and strikes up a few conversations, he can get a few good words for himself from the city lord and his wife when he gets back.
Mida City is so small that a single sentence can be heard from the city gate to the other side of the city simply by being loud.
Basically, when Manager Wan's caravan entered the city, everyone in the city knew the origins of these children, their future positions, and that they would be the ones to curry favor with.
At this point, the onlookers are naturally driven by both goodwill and ulterior motives.
The children traveled from the southeast of Wu Dynasty to the Di Lu Grassland for two months, and were trained by the Wan family along the way. They had long since accepted reality.
Upon arriving in Mida, after meeting the gentle mistress, eating and drinking to their heart's content, and then washing, dressing, and putting on new clothes, they were no longer afraid.
She felt a little shy as the uncles and elders around her smiled and watched.
Under everyone's gaze, Nanka stopped Shayi, pointed at the group of dolls, and asked blankly, "How much are these little slaves?"
He felt that everything in the city could be bought with silver, it was just a bit more expensive.
These dolls are beautiful; I could buy two for my new wife to keep her company.
Before Shayi could speak, someone next to Nanka had already picked up the youngest girl, a five-year-old, pinched her chin to examine her teeth, and clicked their tongues, saying, "This little rascal is so pretty! She's even more delicate than newborn lambs!"
Xiao Ershi was first stunned by the burly man who picked her up, then her face was pinched painfully, and she burst into tears.
A boy suddenly rushed out of the group, trying to snatch the little girl from the Di people.
"You lowly slave, you're asking for death!"
The Di man cursed angrily and flung his hand away, causing the boy to stagger backward.
Shayi scooped up the little girl and yelled at the thuggish Southern tribesman, "You're the lowly ones! Where did you come from, you stupid donkeys? Get out of here!"
Nanka and his men had just been insulted by the Wu Dynasty people, and now they were being told to get lost by their own Di tribe woman. They were instantly enraged. One of them, who couldn't resist, raised his hand and slapped Shayi across the face: "You filthy woman, we want to buy these little slaves!"
"Bang!" Shayi dodged to the side, missing the hit.
She kicked him: "These kids aren't for sale. Are your ears stuffed with horsehair?"
"Clang!"
The people of the southern tribes raised their scimitars and struck at Shayi...
They've started! They've started!
The Wu Dynasty guards, who had been idly chatting and gossiping, clapped their hands and stopped watching the commotion. They swarmed forward and surrounded the Di people, and a fight broke out in the street!
Shay pulled the children back to the bathroom, and a maid ran back to the city lord's mansion, saying that someone was trying to snatch the children!
When Zhao Tingduo and Song Liyun arrived at the scene, they saw several Di people being pinned to the ground and beaten until they were covered in dust by the caravan guards.
"Stop! Let them go!"
A clear shout rang out, and Nanka felt the hand that was pressing down on him leave. He looked up and gasped for breath.
Just now, he felt like he was almost crushed to death.
The others from the southern tribe were also released, and they all sat on the ground, looking completely bewildered.
They were all beaten up just now.
