There was almost a wall of people in front of Cheng Dalei, and the crowd was densely surrounding, exchanging the things in their hands for Cheng Dalei's goods.
Among the three goods he carried this time, salt was the most popular and valuable, followed by medicinal materials, and then tea. Cheng Dalei also discovered that cotton cloth and ironware were also popular goods among the Rong people, so he could bring more next time
Some. However, the current roads do not support the transportation of large goods, so opening up new roads has become a top priority.
Cheng Dalei happily traded with everyone. People said that the Rong people were cruel and greedy, but that was not necessarily true. In Cheng Dalei's view, they were both generous and straightforward. As long as they saw something they wanted, they would be extremely generous and never bargain.
Cheng Dalei exchanged the goods on hand for some beautiful stones and jade, ten horses, and some grassland specialty herbs. Some people wanted to exchange slaves with Cheng Dalei, and there were many beautiful female slaves among them, but Cheng Dalei declined with a smile.
Of course, if Fan Lihua hadn't been standing by and staring at Cheng Dalei with unkind eyes, Cheng Dalei might have laughed, but he wouldn't have refused.
After all the goods were finally sold, there were still people who didn't want Cheng Dalei to leave and wanted to continue exchanging with Cheng Dalei.
"Stay, stay, we will come again tomorrow. You have to bring more things." Cheng Dalei waved to everyone happily. Today is just to get a feel for the situation. Tomorrow will be the official opening day of the market.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Cheng Dalei's voice fell, the expressions on the faces of the people around him instantly froze. Mo Mingmi did this once, first using a small batch of goods to attract everyone's interest, and then waiting for everyone to drive the cattle and sheep.
During the transaction, Mo Mingmi deployed heavy troops, stole everyone's goods, and killed everyone.
In this way, it also left the impression in the minds of the Rong people that the imperial people did not keep their promises.
What Cheng Dalei said was exactly the same as what Mo Mingmi said back then. Could it be that he was trying to do the same thing again? Everyone was inevitably on guard.
Cheng Dalei, who just returned home with a full load and was in a happy mood, didn't notice everyone's eyes.
He drove the horses and left with the goods, and met with the large army. Qin Man Yun Zhonglong and others did not expect that a few bags of salt and a few bags of tea could be exchanged for so many things. Cheng Dalei asked everyone to count them.
Everything is registered.
"Master, you didn't sleep well this whole trip. You should go to bed early tonight and I will keep watch," Qin Man said.
Cheng Dalei yawned subconsciously. He really didn't get a good rest during this trip. Hearing Qin Man's words, he felt really sleepy. He gave Qin Man a few more words and then got into the tent.
Qin Man ordered people to set up a guard post, and he stood by the bonfire with a big gun. The moonlight was hazy, and Qin Man did not notice that there were pairs of eyes looking towards this side under the grassy slope not far away.
"It turns out these Imperial people are hiding here."
"You stay and keep an eye on them. I'll go back and report to the leader."
"Hurry up, we are not the only ones staring at them."
In the grassland at night, the crescent moon hangs in the sky, and I don't know how many pairs of eyes are hidden in the darkness.
At dawn the next day, the air on the grassland was very good. Cheng Dalei stretched out lazily after walking out of the tent. He felt refreshed and refreshed after sleeping this night, and the fatigue from the past few days was relieved a lot.
The reason why Cheng Dalei is so energetic is mainly because today is the official day of the transaction. As long as all the goods are sold, everyone can go back home. If this trade route can be maintained, there will be a steady flow of money in the future.
Profits. And these profits can support the early development of the cottage.
"Set off!"
Cheng Dalei was riding on a horse, with a big ax on his back and a sword hanging on his waist, waving his hands vigorously.
The team set out for the mangroves. When waiting, Cheng Dalei discovered that there were more people gathered here today. There were seven or eight hundred people in groups of three to five, carrying all kinds of goods. This was already considered a relatively prosperous place.
market.
More people came to trade, which meant that Cheng Dalei could get more things. He hurriedly ordered his brothers.
"Quick, quick, put all our goods on the table."
Cheng Dalei had already been here once yesterday, and everyone knew the reason for his visit. Before Cheng Dalei could put the goods away, someone had already come over.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of rapid horse hoofbeats. Cheng Dalei looked around and saw smoke and dust, and a Rong cavalry rushing towards this side.
Without Cheng Dalei's instructions, the team had automatically entered a defensive state. Cheng Dalei guessed correctly that these people were really coming after him.
The leader, holding a saber, appeared without saying a word and charged directly towards the team.
Cheng Dalei grabbed his wrist, took the opportunity to use his strength, jumped up, and directly knocked the opponent off the horse. While he was riding on the horse, Cheng Dalei rode in a circle in the forest, steadying the horse.
Look at this person condescendingly.
This move was so beautifully executed that even the Rong clan, who were famous for their riding skills, secretly praised it in their hearts at this moment.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
Before the man could stand up from the ground, Qin Man's gun was pressed on his shoulder. He raised his head and stared at Cheng Dalei with ferocious eyes, but said nothing.
In fact, there is nothing to say. He just came to snatch Cheng Dalei, but his hands were too weak, so Cheng Dalei captured him in just one round.
The horses roared loudly, and they saw people coming from all directions, ranging from hundreds to dozens of people, all riding horses and carrying weapons. It was obvious that they were not here to trade, but to rob.
Cheng Dalei sighed softly. He was new here, so he had to either eat a killing stick or show off his muscles to let the other party know that he was not easy to mess with. Only in this way can he do business safely.
It's such a boring truth.
"Qin Man!" Cheng Dalei shouted on his horse.
"exist!"
Cheng Dalei stretched out his hand and swept through the teams one after another. The teams he swept through felt a chill down his spine. Cheng Dalei was also making a choice. Those who were too strong may not be able to defeat them, and those who were too weak could not show their own strength.
Finally, Cheng Dalei determined that there was a team of fifty people, and his outstretched hand fell heavily.
"He broke the army with me, beheaded the generals, and killed the enemy."
"yes!"
The team launched a charge in a very short time, with Qin Man taking the lead, Fan Lihua following closely behind, and the three Yun Zhonglong didn't know what to do at this time, so they gritted their teeth and rushed over with weapons in hand.
Qin Man's big gun was swung out, and no one around him could get close. Fan Lihua's embroidered velvet knife was even more unpredictable. Using these two people as a breakthrough, the team rushed in.
The main reason was that the attack of the Barbarian Team came so fast that these people did not react at all. Then the leader was killed and the others fled.
Cheng Dalei was riding on the horse, watching this scene coldly. When he glanced at the others, the people around him subconsciously took a step back.
"We are here just to do business. If someone is not good at doing business..." Cheng Dalei said, "Just ask me about Cheng Dalei's axe."
