When doing business, you need to set a price, a price that both parties are satisfied with. Su Ren is a layman and does not understand pricing. The first person who came wanted to buy grain, and Su Ren asked: "What are you going to exchange for it?"
The man pointed at the horses behind him, there were no more than three in total.
Su Ren nodded: "Then how much are you prepared to change?"
The man looked at it for a long time, then pointed at the bag containing grain and made various gestures. Su Ren understood clearly that the man meant a horse and a bag of grain. Su Ren nodded, and the deal was considered a deal.
Okay. With this reference, the remaining salt and linen can be priced according to grain.
Behind the camp in Riwobuji is Eagle Lake. The snow water coming down from the plateau nourishes the vast grassland. Now that spring has begun, the floating ice in Eagle Lake has just melted, and it is the time when the bottom is clear. Large and small
The fish twisted its body and darted back and forth in the lake water, and was picked up by the waterfowl flying from the sky and flew away.
Herdsmen continued to gather, and many people gathered in front of Su Ren's stall, driving cattle, sheep, and horses to exchange needed goods. The guys who came with the caravan were sweating profusely, and they all laughed with their mouths open. Here.
Doing business is almost like robbing money, and they finally believed that there was nothing wrong with Su Ren's tenfold profit.
Hawking turned over and sat on a black horse. The horse was not domesticated. He raised his back kick and was about to throw Hawking off. Ke Muzhi shouted loudly: "Hold your neck tightly, grab the mane, clamp your legs hard, and hold on."
live!"
The black horse kept spinning, and suddenly a pirouette threw Hawking heavily to the grass.
Huang Shisan laughed loudly: "Okay! Good fall!"
When Su Ren saw Lu Yi approaching, he hurriedly walked to the other side of the stall. After that incident, he was afraid of meeting Lu Yi and didn't know what to say when they met. He took a handful of lake water, which chilled his bones, and threw it away with all his strength.
On his face, Su Ren took a deep breath.
"Look, it's so beautiful!"
Leng Jun stood beside Su Ren holding his sword angrily: "I went to propose marriage to Riwo Buji, but I was laughed at. Is his daughter so worthless?"
"It's not that it's worthless, it's that I'm not prepared to marry my daughter to you at all."
"But that night..."
"Don't take it to heart. This is the custom of the people here. Maybe the daughters of people who came before have also slipped into their beds."
"Uh! This is too..." Leng Jun wanted to say pervert, but felt uncomfortable all over, swallowed the words, turned around and left.
Su Ren asked loudly: "Why are you leaving? Are you not going to catch fish with me?"
"I'll go back and take a shower!"
Lu Yi came anyway. Su Ren just caught a fish and accidentally fell into the lake. He smiled at Lu Yi: "This fish is too cunning."
Lu Yi smiled slightly and sat quietly by the lake. That green skirt looked really good with the newly sprouted green grass.
Su Ren waved his hand and rubbed it on his clothes twice. The two of them became silent. Su Ren stood there awkwardly, with the lake water flowing over his feet, and his feet were almost numb.
"Will you marry me?"
"What?"
"I'm kidding!" Lu Yi stood up and handed Su Ren's coat to him: "Come up quickly. If you stand for a while, your feet will be gone."
Luyi is a beautiful girl who combines the tenacity of the Bo people with the charm of the Han people. After living in the Han region for so many years, she has always been clean and self-sufficient. Su Ren understood this when he saw some peach blossoms when he got up in the morning. However, Su Ren never
He thought about marrying Lu Yi as his wife, but for some reason, when he saw Lu Yi, he always felt like a little girl. Maybe it was his actual age that made him forget that he was no longer an adult.
"Hey!" Su Ren sighed, looking at Lu Yi's back and standing for a long time.
The business of the caravan is very prosperous. This is the first day. Only the herdsmen near Eagle Lake come to trade. As the tax collector, Riwobuji sent people to spread the information that the Han caravan can trade. So much
Since the beginning of the day, many people have been waiting for the leader's words. They hurried here early in the morning. They brought their best horses and the largest cattle and sheep. Although these animals are thin and small, it is because of the winter.
Because of this, Su Ren knew that if fed with good grass for half a month, he would become the best animal.
Sun Ermazi leads people to maintain law and order. He likes this job very much. From the eyes of the Qiang people, he can see that he is like a god, controlling their destiny. Whoever he wants to give way to first, as long as Sun Ermazi says
That said, it feels good.
The old fox didn't come out. He had been hiding in the tent since he arrived at the camp. He didn't even participate in the bonfire party last night.
No one knows whether Riwobuji sent a woman to Old Fox, but he probably didn’t. The two of them were big enemies. Back then, Old Fox’s Heifengling was the most ruthless in robbing the Qiang people. Facing the bandits, weapons and armor were needed.
The Qiang people, who were all backward, had no other way out but to mount their horses and escape.
Su Ren opened the tent. There was not only the old fox in the old fox's tent, but also five men following him. It was only theoretical to expect these people to protect his safety.
Su Rendao: "Let's go out and bask in the sun? The weather is nice today! Today is the opening day of the caravan, so aren't you worried that you won't be able to earn as much money as I said?"
The old fox sighed: "Life still matters."
Su Ren nodded: "Sure enough, the older you live, the smarter you become. Older people do have unique insights into things. It's a pity that with the few people you have, if the Qiang people want to murder you, they can't stop them."
"Hey! I can't help it. Who knew you would be the first to come to the Yellow Sheep Tribe?"
"This is the tribe closest to Yuanshan. If I don't come here, how can I go there?"
He dragged the old fox out of the tent with force. The dazzling sunlight made the old man unbearable, and he quickly stretched out his hand to block the sun. It was indeed a beautiful and sunny weather, neither cold nor hot. All the Qiang people gathered at the caravan.
The long stretch of stalls spread out in a spectacular way. Under the crowds of people, there was no language barrier at all. Everyone abided by the rules of mutual consent, and the transaction went smoothly.
There was no one in the camp, and it was completely empty. The ashes from last night's burning had been cleared away, leaving only a dark trace. There was a burst of fragrance coming from the tent in the distance, which must be the presence of women from the Qiang region.
Cooking. The fried wheat has a burnt smell, and the aroma will be fragrant when sprinkled with salt and cheese.
Su Ren took a big sip: "Who said the Qiang people can't cook? It's because they don't have good food. Old fox, what did you rob when you came to rob the Qiang land?"
"They robbed whatever they had, including cattle, sheep, horses, and even women and children."
"So it turns out that you took back all the Qiang people among the bandits?"
The old fox shook his head: "Not all, most of them are voluntary. This place looks good now. It's snowing. If there is not enough hay for the animals, those Qiang people will only starve to death."
“It’s not easy for the Qiang people to live, either!”
"No one has an easy life. Do you know what I did before I became a bandit? I'm afraid you won't believe me if I tell you. I am also a merchant. I just took the northern road and entered here through Hehuang. There were Huns everywhere. I
The caravan encountered the Huns, and he escaped alone but was plundered by the Yuanshan people and lost his life."
"Oh? This is the first time you have told me about your life experience. It turns out you are a fellow traveler!"
"I can't compare to you!" The old fox smiled awkwardly.
"Then what do you think of our deal this time?"
The old fox smiled: "Do you still need to look? Just one glance at the large number of cattle and horses behind the caravan, and you will know that this transaction is very successful."
"Hahaha... you are really a good judge of things."
The two of them chatted while walking, and then came out of the camp and went straight to the caravan stall. The Qiang people are very obedient, and you can get whatever you say. As long as he thinks the price is reasonable, he will generously take out his own things and exchange them with you. Here,
Real money and silver are of no use. Living in hardship makes people realize that only food is the most precious thing. These are life-saving things.
Riwo Buji and his two sons were also standing next to the caravan, with smiles on their faces and beckoning Su Ren to pass. Su Ren glanced at the old fox and walked over alone.
"Mr. Su, on behalf of the Huangyang tribe, I welcome you to come again next time. Can you get us some iron tools when you come again?"
"Oh? I wonder what kind of iron tool the leader needs, a sword or an iron pot?"
"Can you also get a weapon?" Riwo Buji was overjoyed.
Su Ren nodded: "Although there are not many, you can still get some. My shop is not only in Dahan, but also in Yelang. Dahan's ironware control is stricter, but Yelang is a different matter."
"Hahaha!" Riwo Buji hugged Su Ren, and the smell of sweat all over his body made Su Ren almost suffocated: "God sent you to our Huangyang tribe. As long as Mr. Su can get iron tools, what do you want?
What do I give?"
"You're welcome, chief. I'm a businessman. As long as it's profitable, I'll do it."
As time went by, almost the entire Yellow Sheep tribe’s herdsmen came to trade with Su Ren. Su Ren got a lot of cattle and horses, and the herdsmen got the grain and salt they wanted. Watching their livestock team day by day
As the group grew stronger, Su Ren decided to send a group of people back first, as it was too risky to bring them back together. Leng Jun and Sun Ermazi became the leaders of the team returning home.
Sun Ermazi patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, Mr. Su, I will send these cattle and horses out of Yuanshan safely."
Lengjun rolled his eyes and remained silent.
On the day of the caravan's journey, Vala watched the groups of cattle and horses being taken away like this, and he murmured in his heart. At first, he was very much in favor of these caravans coming in, but that didn't mean that he would naively think that Su
Ren was here to help them. There were many things he wanted to say to his father, but unfortunately every time he saw his father and elder brother being obsessed with the fact that Su Ren would bring them weapons, he swallowed his words again.
There are not many people in the Huangyang tribe, but there are many cattle and horses all over the mountains and plains. Su Ren's caravan brought a lot of goods this time, until the herdsmen finally stopped exchanging cattle and horses for goods, Su Ren said, except
In addition to cattle and horses, fur is also one of the resources for exchange. The second round of commercial climax has appeared again. (To be continued)
