In the distance, a group of people appeared on the horizon. First a black dot turned into a black line, and then there was a situation of thousands of horses galloping. Su Ren's wandering on the grassland was not in vain. The tribe that had been pursuing Su Ren's footsteps finally
Got the chance.
Namtso, the leader of the yak tribe, was the first to arrive at Eagle Lake. He brought many horses, cattle and sheep, and it was obvious at first glance that he was preparing for a big deal.
Namtso is like Maitreya Buddha, full of genial warmth in both appearance and temperament. When he saw Su Ren, he hugged Su Ren, his fat belly pressed against Su Ren’s belly, and his two short arms were behind Su Ren’s back.
It can't be reached.
"Hahaha! Han merchants, you are easy for me to find. Just when I was about to send someone to invite you to my tribe, you came to Eagle Lake. It was lucky that this old boy Riwobuji caught one.
Golden doll.”
Riwo Buji, who was on the side, laughed and said, "You have no vision, who can you blame?"
"That's it, that's it! This time I'm going to make a big change. All the livestock I brought will be replaced with grain and salt."
Riwobuji glanced behind Namtso: "You won't bring all the livestock of your tribe, right? Look, there are thousands of them here."
"Are we that poor?" Namtso shook the fat on his face: "Your Yellow Sheep tribe occupies the best grassland in Xianlingqiang. Our place cannot be compared, but you can't underestimate us either."
"Hahaha... How could I underestimate the Namtso brothers? They are all children of the White Stone God. However, if we want to trade with Mr. Su, we must abide by the rules of our Yellow Sheep tribe."
"Rules? What rules?"
The Yak Tribe is relatively close to the plateau. Riwo Buji's messenger did not arrive at the Yak Tribe, but he came earlier than other tribes. Naturally, he did not know the rules that Riwo Buji had formulated in order for his tribe to monopolize the advantage of the grassland.
"Brother Namtso, the rule of our Huangyang tribe is that when trading with Mr. Su, we can only exchange a maximum of one hundred stones of grain, fifty stones of salt and one hundred pieces of linen cloth."
"Ah?" Namtso was surprised: "Riwo Buji, are you kidding me? Before I even walk back, all the people I brought will eat up this little thing."
"Haha! Then there is no other way!" Riwobuji sneered twice: "If Brother Namtso thinks it is too little, you can go back with your cattle and sheep."
Namtso smiled helplessly, not angry, at least it didn't show on his face. He took two steps forward and got closer to Riwobuji: "Dear brother Riwobuji, we all know that you have been doing business with the Han people for a long time.
, is the richest tribe in the entire grassland. Since we are all brothers, you can’t watch my herdsmen starve to death, can you?”
"Your people starving to death is your own business, what does it have to do with us?" Lexon rolled his eyes, a look of contempt written all over his face.
Namco smiled and said: "Well, my nephew Lexen, as the leader of the grassland, you and your father can't ignore the life and death of the people in the grassland, right?"
"Grassland chief?" Riwobuji looked at Namtso in confusion.
Namtso said: "Everyone knows that the Huangyang tribe is the largest tribe on the grassland. I have decided that at the next leaders' meeting, brother Riwobuji will be elected as the big leader of our grassland. With his leadership, we will first eliminate the Qiang.
It will be more prosperous and all herdsmen will be able to have enough food and clothing."
This temptation is very big for Riwobuji. As a tribe on the grassland, everyone wants to ascend to such a position. If he can become a big leader, it means that his herdsmen can graze anywhere on the grassland. Eagle
The lakeside is not the only place with rich water and grass in the whole grassland. The Yellow Sheep tribe is very large and they have more livestock. Every year, Wobuji is worried about the lack of forage.
"Namtso, are you serious about this?" Riwo Buji's eyes widened.
Namtso laughed and said: "As a child of the White Stone God, when have I told lies?"
"If that's the case, then..." Riwobuji fell into deep thought.
Vala took a look at Namtso's fat body. The fat was really thick. He didn't know how many pieces of cloth were needed to make clothes for Namtso. This fat man was not a good person. This was what Vala said when he first saw Namtso.
Judgment, after listening to these few words, I am more certain of my guess.
"Father!" Valala pulled Riwobuji.
Namco patted Vala on the shoulder: "Is this the smartest person in the entire grassland? Brother Riwobuji, you have been blessed by the White Stone God. Each of your three sons is better than the last. It is really enviable. The next Huang
He should be the leader of the Sheep Tribe, right?"
There was a cold light in Lexon's eyes, and when he looked at Vala again, there was a little bit of murderous intent.
Namtso did not stop praising him: "We Xianling Qiang really need smart people to lead us, so that we can fight against the Huns and Han people. Rough men who can only dance with swords and sticks will only drag the grassland into the flames of war! Brothers Riwobuji,
Don’t worry, I will firmly support you. My daughter is the same age as Vala’s nephew. I am going to betroth her to Vala’s nephew. I wonder if Brother Riwobuji will agree?”
"From now on, your Yellow Sheep Tribe and our Yak Tribe are an alliance. We will definitely follow the footsteps of the Yellow Sheep Tribe and stand by your side from generation to generation. With the union of our two tribes, no one in the entire grassland can stop Riwobu.
Brothers Ki do the big boss stuff.”
Su Ren did not participate in the discussion. He led someone to sort out his goods. The interpreter told Su Ren intermittently about the conversation there. Su Ren sneered and shook his head. When he looked at the fat yak tribe leader again, his eyes
There is vigilance.
With the cooperation of the big leader, marriage, and instigation, Riwobuji recognized the yak tribe as his ally, and promised Namtso that as long as Su Ren was willing, Namtso could exchange for anything he needed.
Su Ren was a businessman, and of course he would not refuse thousands of livestock. The transaction was very lively. On the basis of the Yellow Sheep Tribe, Su Ren increased the price by 50% and used 10% of the profit to pay the tax. All three families
Very satisfied, Namtso got the supplies he wanted, Su Ren got more than ten times the profit, and the Yellow Sheep Tribe found a reliable ally.
Since the arrival of Namtso, nearby tribes have entered the territory of the Yellow Sheep Tribe one after another. The increase in prices has made many tribes dissatisfied, and the restrictions of the Yellow Sheep Tribe have made them even more angry. Several tribal leaders came with enthusiasm, but failed.
Returned. Others also exchanged few supplies with angry faces. When these uncomfortable tribes learned about the situation of the yak tribe, their hearts became even more angry.
Su Ren's supplies were exchanged in half, and not much was left. Seeing that the business was coming to an end, the people in the caravan became more relaxed.
Sitting in the sun, setting up the Eight Immortals table, holding a cup of tea, watching Hawking ride a horse under the guidance of Ke Muzhi. Hawking has made rapid progress and can already control the relatively docile horses well. Today he is challenging the dark horse that is difficult to tame.
When he was thrown off the horse for the third time, Su Ren burst out laughing. As an audience, when others make a fool of themselves, they are always happy.
The old fox let out a sigh of relief. The Yellow Sheep tribe had not come to settle accounts with him these days, which reassured the old fox: "Sir, when will we go back?"
Su Ren smiled and said: "What? Miss your Mrs. Yazhai?"
The old fox shook his head: "I always feel uncomfortable when I'm on someone else's territory. I feel like there are dozens of pairs of eyes staring behind me every moment. It's really uncomfortable."
Su Ren put down the teacup: "Don't worry, Riwo Buji won't cause you any trouble. I have settled this matter with ten stones of grain and five stones of salt. From now on, you people from Heifeng Ridge can enter the Yellow Sheep Tribe at any time. However,
No more looting."
"Ah? Sir, you..." The old fox was very moved. According to the prices at this moment, he knew very well how many horses, cattle and sheep these things could be exchanged for: "Sir, I don't know what to say, from now on we will be black
Mr. Fengling is on the right track."
"There is no need to express your determination. Since you are my caravan guards, I should be responsible for your safety."
The old fox raised his head, drank the tea in the bowl, and wiped the tea foam from his gray beard: "Sir, hey! I won't say any more. It would be boring to say thank you too much."
"That's right! We are all our own people, and you can't say these things to others." Su Ren waved to the old fox, who quickly handed over his head. Su Ren lowered his voice and said: "It seems that we will go back in a few days.
, but I hope you can stay with your people."
"What do you mean, sir?"
Su Ren smiled faintly and looked up at the blue sky and peaceful grassland: "I think it's too quiet here. It's just a pool of stagnant water. This kind of environment is really not suitable for doing business."
The old fox rolled his eyes and understood immediately: "Sir, what you mean is..."
Su Ren nodded: "Don't have too many people. The manpower will be selected from your Heifeng Ridge for the time being. Every time my caravan enters the grassland, I will supply you at the mountain pass. I have already sent people to find the place. Remember
Stay a little longer, don’t fight to the death, just make trouble, it’s better to let the Qiang people make trouble on their own.”
The old fox smiled mischievously, straightened up, and looked greedy in his eyes: "If I had such ambitions as my husband back then, maybe when my husband came, the target of the transaction would be me, but it's a pity that I am old now."
"Hahaha...are you very old?" Su Ren laughed: "Only old people have experience and vision. It is better for a young person like Sun Ermazi to stay in Yuanshan. Don't worry, you can stay in Yuanshan."
I will make proper arrangements for those women and children, and if they want to return to Shu, they can."
The old fox stood up and bowed to Su Ren: "Sir, don't worry, even if I throw this pile of bones here, I will be able to rest in peace."
It was sunny and sunny just now, but suddenly a dark cloud floated over, and a heavy downpour came immediately, causing everyone to be in a hurry. The guys were packing up the goods, and the herdsmen drove the cattle and sheep back to the pen. There were people neighing and horses neighing, and only Su
Ren stood in the wind and rain enjoying the refreshing feeling. (To be continued)
