Liu Che squinted his eyes and looked at the Wusun man for a while.
The little calculations in my heart were buzzing.
As the saying goes, as long as the hoe is used diligently, there is no corner that cannot be dug.
However, this moment is not a good time.
Therefore, Liu Che laughed and said to the attendant: "Tell him: Our country is willing to sell pepper, rhubarb, salt, and silk to anyone who can bring species like black hemp that are not available in our country!"
After the attendant translated it, the Wusun man was obviously very happy and chattered a lot.
After he said what he said, Xu Bu Diao Nan's face suddenly became ugly, and he immediately started talking to the Wusun man in another language.
Liu Che looked at the attendant and motioned for him to translate.
The attendant hesitated for a while and then translated: "My family, the man said: He has a spice that is better than our Han Dynasty, called black pepper. In addition, he can also provide many specialties from the Western Regions...
I don't understand the rest..." The attendant knelt down and apologized: "Please atone for your sins!"
After Liu Che heard this, he laughed and whispered to the attendant: "Get up, you have already performed very well!"
At this moment, he was even more convinced of his guess.
As for the conversation between Naxubudiaonan and the Wusun man, Liu Che could barely guess some of the content.
It's nothing more than the so-called black pepper that the Wusun man brought out. I'm afraid Xu Budiao has never heard of it, or knows about it, but he never thought that the Wusun man has it.
Liu Che laughed twice in his heart.
In this world, even brothers have to settle accounts.
What’s more, between countries?
Who doesn’t have something private?
Who doesn’t have his own little calculation?
What's more, the nature of nomadic people is to be mothers if they have milk.
If it weren't for the fact that the Han Dynasty could not reach the Western Regions now, Liu Che really wanted to add a strong dose of medicine to this and teach the Huns a lesson.
But it's not bad now.
Liu Che watched the dispute between Xu Bu Diao Nan and the Wusun man with a smile.
Although I don't understand what they are talking about.
However, is there anything in this world that is more enjoyable than causing trouble for one's enemies?
Of course, Liu Che also knew very well that the close relationship between Wusun and the Xiongnu could not be shaken overnight by a mere rhubarb.
In the previous life, Xiaozhu dug into Wusun's walls for decades. It was not until the Zhaoxuan period that he pulled the Wusun people onto the chariot of the Han Dynasty.
Now, the relationship between Wusun and the Xiongnu is in the honeymoon period.
The two even fought together, shared the spoils of war, and frequently intermarried with each other.
Such a close relationship cannot be compared with the NATO member countries of the later American Empire.
The only thing that can be used as a reference is probably the Anglo-Japanese alliance in modern times on earth in later generations.
Xu Bu Diao Nan argued with the Wusun man for a while, and finally seemed to reach a compromise.
The Wusun man handed something to Xu Bu Diao Nan, and then Xu Bu Diao Nan smiled and faced Liu Che and said a few words.
The attendant immediately translated: "At home, the Huns envoy said that rhubarb, pepper, silk, and salt can only be traded with the emperor of the Han Dynasty by the Huns plowing Gutu!"
When Liu Che heard this, even though he had always had a good temper, he felt a little worried at the moment.
This was the first time since his rebirth that he had tasted such naked threats and intimidation!
However, Liu Che glanced at the young man who was suspected to be the Wusun royal family. At this moment, the man no longer had the confidence he had before and became a little lonely.
Obviously, he has been frightened by Xubu Diao Nan.
In other words, he was frightened by the Hun Empire represented by Xubu Diao Nan.
This fact proves that no matter how close the alliance is, there will still be disagreements when interests are involved, and fists still have to do the talking!
Obviously, the Huns would never allow such a hugely profitable monopoly commodity as the silk trade to be interfered with by others, even if that person was their younger brother!
What's more, there are also Sichuan peppercorns, rhubarb and table salt that are equally profitable and have political significance?
However, Liu Che lowered his head and smiled slightly, thinking: "This is the best..."
Since the death of Shan Yu, the Huns have lost their spiritual mentor and guide to guide the progress of this huge empire.
The successors, whether military ministers or later Yi Zhixie, are at best just mediocre people with a little cleverness.
Looking at the performance during the entire Han-Hungarian War, Junchen and Yi Zhixie clearly failed.
Proud, complacent, arrogant, and even foolish.
This allowed Xiaozhu to easily achieve the strategic goal of capturing the Hetao area in the early stages of the Han-Hungarian War, thereby compressing the activity space of the entire Xiongnu and creating favorable conditions for the subsequent decisive battle in Mobei. During this period,
Huo Qubing even created the miracle of 800 cavalry raiding Dragon City and destroying the place where the Xiongnu worshiped their ancestors!
This is true militarily, and even more so politically, a good card has been turned into a bad one.
Originally, the old Shanyu spent his whole life to conquer the entire Western Region for the Xiongnu and made all the countries in the Western Region surrender.
As a result, Zhang Qian caused chaos in the back garden of the Huns, and even used lollipops to win over many countries in the Western Regions. Even Wusun, the younger brother trained by the Huns themselves, was shaken.
Zhang Qian is certainly great.
But if the Huns were not too proud and complacent and exploited the countries in the Western Regions, especially powerful countries like Wusun, would they be considered enemies of the Huns?
The countries in the Western Regions are the Xiongnu’s biggest source of wealth!
"I'll add more fire to this!" Liu Che thought maliciously in his heart.
So he raised his head and said to Xu Bu Diao: "This is natural..."
Therefore, Liu Che and Xu Bu Diao Nan discussed the specific transaction through a translator.
After some haggling, the transaction standard using silk as a reference was initially determined.
After determining the standard of silk, the transaction pricing of various commodities was naturally implemented quickly.
For example, one stone of black sesame (black sesame) can be exchanged for ten bolts of silk, and ten bolts of silk can be exchanged for one pound of pepper or rhubarb.
In this entire transaction, it is basically all barter.
Liu Che did not ask for anything like gold or horses that might irritate the Huns.
The Huns also wisely did not mention sensitive materials such as bronze and iron.
It seems that Liu Che used pepper, silk, salt and rhubarb to trade many local products from the Western Regions with the Huns.
The Huns took advantage of the whole deal.
It is no exaggeration to say that as long as the entire transaction continues, the national power and strength of the Huns will be greatly enhanced in the future.
In fact, through the use of pepper and rhubarb, the Xiongnu could even further tighten the relationship between their own tribe and Shan Yuting.
but……
Liu Che knew very well that this was a pit, a big pit!
If the Huns fall in, it will be difficult to climb back up! r1152
