Transmigration: From Farmer To Empress

Qing County belongs to Bianzhou Prefecture, and is only more than a hundred miles away from Bianzhou Prefecture. A Tianlun Mountain that stretches for dozens of miles separates Qing County from Liaodan and Lingbei.

Two hundred miles to the west, over the Tianlun Mountains, is the border of Liaodan; more than one hundred miles to the east, over the mountains, is Lingbei.

Lingbei was originally the territory of the Jin Dynasty. It was occupied by a nomadic people called Meng Nu more than a hundred years ago. At that time, the Jin Dynasty was first established, with external and internal troubles, and many wastes waiting to be revitalized. The emperor at that time had no time to care about a small The small prefectures and counties allowed the invasion of the Meng slaves. Many years later, when the world was settled and the emperor of the Jin Dynasty wanted to regain the land north of the lost mountains, the Meng slaves had become very powerful. The country mobilized troops and conducted many expeditions, spending countless military resources, but in the end they all failed. The high Tianlun Mountains separated Dajin and Lingbei, like a natural chasm, which added a lot of inconvenience to the expedition to Lingbei.

In the end, the Emperor of the Jin Dynasty had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​regaining Lingbei and allowed Lingbei to become the world of the Meng slaves. This has been the case for more than a hundred years since then.

The Mengnu were a nomadic people with tough folk customs and barbaric rudeness. However, because they were a small country and they had gained territory from the Jin Dynasty, they did not dare to do anything beyond the Jin Dynasty. For a hundred years, they had been fighting against the Jin Dynasty. The Jin Kingdom coexisted peacefully, and everything was fine.

Occasionally, the Mengnu people, like the Liaodan people, would cross the vast Tianlun Mountains and come to Qingxian County to trade, or sell the beef, mutton, leather, and milk they produced, or buy cotton, silk, and other products produced in the Jin Dynasty. Cloth, tea, ceramics and medicines, etc. Therefore, in Qingxian County, not only Liaodan people can be seen, but also occasionally Monnu people carrying leather, meat, or milk cans on their backs. It's just that the number is smaller than that of Liaodan people.

At this moment, Caiwei was leisurely standing in line in the queue selling steamed buns. Suddenly she saw two men wearing leather Mengnu robes, each carrying a large basket of beef, walking from the back of the queue and speaking with a stiff Da Jinyu sells their beef to everyone.

In the Jin Kingdom, cattle are not allowed to be slaughtered casually. Anyone who slaughters a farm cow privately will be sentenced to severe penalties by the government. Therefore, beef is definitely considered a rarity for the people of the Jin Kingdom. , with how much money I have, there is no place to buy it.

When people queuing up to buy steamed buns saw a beef seller coming, they immediately ignored the queue and crowded around, scrambling to buy. After all, steamed buns can be bought every day, but beef cannot be bought every day. of.

"Don't worry, come one by one, two hundred coins per catty, no bargaining..."

A bearded Mengnu man shouted rudely.

"What? Two hundred coins per catty?"

"Why is it so expensive? It's almost as expensive as swan meat!"

Upon hearing this price, most of the originally enthusiastic people wilt. Two hundred coins, for an ordinary Jin citizen, is by no means a small amount of money, and a pound of fat pork with thin skin and thick fat is not a small amount of money. It only sells for twenty cents per pound, but this beef is sold for ten times the price of pork. This is too scary!

Everyone was talking a lot and expressed their dissatisfaction with the price.

A bearded Mengnu man yelled rudely: "If you want to buy it, buy it. If you don't want to buy it, throw it away. We carried this beef on our backs and climbed the mountain all night to bring it here. Why is it not worth the price?"

When he yelled like this, the people around them became entangled, looking at the bright red beef, and fighting in their hearts.

Finally, someone spoke up: "Okay, I'm not short of this little money. Give me a pound!"

"Hey, give me a pound too!"
