Yelu Qi's eyes passed through a big hole in the wall and looked towards the distant north. Where was their pasture, but now it was almost their tomb. He could not learn from the large tribes to move further north to avoid the butcher knife of the Tang people, because his clan was only 20,000 to 30,000 people. Moreover, as far as he knew, the large tribes that migrated tribes did indeed successfully cross the vast sea in the north, but the entire tribe went ten and six or seven, with heavy casualties.

He could never afford such losses. He didn't want his tribe to starve to death in vain and die of thirst in the vast sea. He stayed outside his mouth and was a dog for Zhang Zhongwu. Although he was awkward, everyone could finally survive. Even if he was a little poor or a little harder, as long as he survived, there would always be hope.

In the past, he had no other choice except to succumb to Zhang Zhongwu's tyranny. But now a choice suddenly appeared and he wanted to try it.

Even if you are just a little better than before, it will be fine!

As long as the days when the snow is covered in winter will no longer be covered with heavy snow, the elderly in the clan will walk naked into the vast snow, peel off all their clothes for their children, saving a bite of food so that their children can eat more.

As long as he doesn't let him watch those injured and tortured people die in wail, as long as he doesn't let him see the children who were born abandoned because of their weakness, he is willing to try it.

Thinking of this, he looked at Li Ze and couldn't help but become eager.

"Young Master, our Khitan tribe lives outside the mouth and relies on grazing, and grazing requires a large grassland. I want to know how to survive if you moved us to Texas? We will not have anything except grazing!" Yelu Qi said.

"Who said you only know how to grazle?" Li Ze looked at him with a smile: "You will get more, but you will not turn these into your wealth."

"We will have a lot?" Yelu Qi looked at Li Ze in a daze.

"Of course. You can grazle. When you arrive in Texas, you can grazle, but the way of grazing is changed. In the past, you were free-range, but we will keep it in captivity in the future! If you can't raise so many, we can raise less." Li Ze smiled and said, "In the past, we raised sheep just to eat meat and drink milk. We could change the variety. For example, in my Wuyi, there was a workshop that specialized in making clothes with wool. In the past, because of insufficient raw materials, we could only make small fuss. If there was enough wool supply, we could expand this workshop."

"Can wool be money?"

"Of course." Li Ze looked at him and said, "Sheep, not only eat meat, drink milk, hair, but also good things."

"How to wear clothes made of wool, hard-popping, how to wear them?" Yelu Qi said he didn't believe it.

Li Ze reached out and untied his fur clothes outside, pulled out a piece of clothes from inside, and showed them to Yelu Qi: "Come on, take a look, touch."

Yelu Qi looked at the white clothes and looked furry. When he reached out to touch it, it was so soft that it made people extremely comfortable.

"Is this made of wool?" He opened his mouth wide.

"That's right!" Li Ze looked at him with a smile, "Do you know how much does such a cashmere underwear cost?"

Yelu Qi shook his head violently.

"Ten taels of silver. This is still the cost price." Li Ze raised a finger. "I made it in my own workshop, and I have to take out at least double and even roll."

"Those wool that we threw away can actually be sold for thirty taels of silver in your hands?" Yelu Qi felt that his world was being smashed by the young boy in front of him with a sledgehammer. "How did this do it?"

"Some special potions and some special craftsmanship." Li Ze said.

"Can you teach it to us?" Yelu Qi's eyes were filled with hot light.

"This is my exclusive secret recipe." Li Ze faced Yelu Qi's sudden dim gaze and said, "But I can let you invest in the stock, you provide raw materials, and then pay dividends every year. Yelu head man, it's not that I underestimate you. Even if you make such clothes, it will be difficult for you to sell them, because those who can afford such clothes must be not ordinary people."

"Invest, I invest!" Yelu Qi nodded repeatedly.

Seeing the fish taking the bait, Li Ze smiled even happier. "One of my subordinates has calculated that if there are enough raw materials, my workshop can earn him 70,000 or 80,000 taels of silver in a year with this thing alone. I will give you 10,000 taels of shares, which is 10,000 taels. Remember, this is dividends, as for your wool, we will still pay to buy it."

"Why?"

"Because of this dividend, I think you, Yelu, is worth this price!" Li Ze said with a smile.

Yelu Qi took a deep breath. This was the first time that someone used this method of clearly marked price to measure his value. Ten thousand taels a year, not low.

"Of course, this little money alone will not allow your tribe members to live a good life. I can only say that they will not starve to death or freeze to death, right?" Li Ze said.

Yelu Qi thought about the annual expenses of the clan and nodded in agreement.

"So, I have also thought of a lot of ways for you. For example, you can brew macadamia wine, which can change money, you can make cheese, which can change money. Don't be afraid that you can't sell it. There is an economic model under my rule called unified purchase and sales. Well, let me put it simply, that is, how much you produce such things, my chamber of commerce will buy them all. As for the price, you can discuss it yourself at that time, but how much you sell in the future will have nothing to do with you."

Yelu Qi nodded repeatedly. He might have made less money by doing this, but in the same way, the risks are less. He is still very clear about the risks in doing business.

" Raising livestock will save you a lot of labor, and these labor will naturally not be wasted. In Texas, I will also send someone to teach you how to cultivate land and how to grow grain. Not to mention bumper harvests, the grain collected in a year will be enough for you to eat." Li Ze continued.

Yelu Qi nodded and said, "What Mr. Li said is indeed very thoughtful for us, but I want to know what we need to pay? You give us so much, of course it is not just to win Yingzhou, right?"

Li Ze smiled and said, "I told you before that your tribe is my people under my rule, and that is my people. I will naturally treat them equally. Of course, your tribe will also bear the obligations that my original people need to bear. For example, taxes, such as corvee service. For example, when I go to the throne, I need to recruit troops from you."

"That's it?" Yelu Qi asked.

Li Ze thought for a while and shook his head: "No, anyway, in a word, you can do whatever my earlier people can do, and you can't do whatever they can't do, without exception, and without special. If your people violate my law, I will still cut off their heads. Yelutou Ren, can you understand what I say?"

Yelu Qi lowered his head and closed his eyes slightly. No one knew that at this time, his eyes were a little hot and his nose was a little sore, because what Li Ze said was what he wanted to get under Zhang Zhongwu's command but never got it.

"Yelu head man?" Li Ze asked again.

Yelu Qi suddenly raised his head. This time Li Ze could see clearly that there was a splash of water shaking in the eyes of this man with a windy and frosty face.

He actually cried?

"I agreed." Yelu Qi was almost roaring, and the loud voice forced Li Ze to lean back.

"I agreed. Although I don't know if you can finally fulfill what you said, I am willing to take a gamble." Yeluqi almost ran out of his voice: "Mr. Li, from now on, I, Yeluqi, will be a dog for you. If you can really fulfill what you said, everyone in the Wandan tribe is willing to become your most loyal lackey and never betrayed."

Yelu Qi knelt down on the ground with a loud bang, protruding himself into the ground.

Min Rou, behind Li Ze, finally smiled on her face.

He dragged Yelu Qi up from the ground, and Li Zelang said, "Tiele should have told you that you will be a human being with me in the future, and I don't need a dog. In the future, you will be my subordinate like Min Rou and others," he said.

Yelu Qi seemed to be unable to wait for a moment. After standing up from the ground, he said, "Young Master, I will return to the garrison and raise all my troops. On the ground that Shi Yi's troops were surrounded and our troops were ordered to enter Yingzhou City to assist in the defense, he tricked the Yingzhou City gate. The young master waited for Yelu Qi to hand over a complete Yingzhou City to you."

Li Ze laughed: "Okay, I'll wait and see. Yelutouren, the day after tomorrow, see you in Yingzhou City."

Yelu Qi bowed to the ground, turned around and left with great strides.

Li Ze stepped out of the hut, watched more than a dozen cavalrymen go away, and let out a long breath, Yingzhou took it.

"I didn't expect Yelu Qi to have such a side? This person is under Zhang Zhongwu's command, and he is a Khitan general who is good at fighting." Min Rou sighed.

"Everyone has his own weakness, and Yelu Qi is no exception." Li Ze said: "I found the weakness and naturally hit it with one blow. So Min Rou, not every enemy needs to be killed. If we can turn some enemies into our own people, then we will have more and more people, and fewer enemies will be. This is what is called "Getting the truth has more help, but losing the truth has fewer help."

"I'm sure you will be taught!" Min Ju said: "Young Master, I guess that your kindness to Yelu Qi is not just for the sake of the present, right?"

"Of course." Li Ze nodded and said, "In the future, Yelu Qi can become a bridge between us and the Khitans. It is also a great thing to be able to cause some trouble for Zhang Zhongwu outside the mouth."

"Young Master is not worried about helping the Khitans. Will they bite us back in the future?"
