Yu Shan didn't understand what benefits it would bring to him, so Su Ren was responsible for explaining it to him. This matter is not easy to say, and it has to be explained bit by bit, so I won't finish it today.
"Your Majesty, you don't know. The benefits of this foraging field are not that big!" Su Ren said with a smile: "You can get the food, salt and even armor you want from the forging field, so that your tribe will not suffer.
If you are hungry, your warriors will not fight naked, and your people will have strength. These few points are enough for you to win this battle for Shanyu!"
Yu Shan frowned. He was thinking, thinking about the meaning of Su Ren's words. Yu Shan was not a stupid commoner. Although he and Su Ren were brothers, he did not think that Su Ren would help him without any strings attached. This was inconsistent with Su Ren's words.
Emotions have nothing to do with it, but everyone will have selfish motives, just like his uncle Yin Zhixie. Although he and his father Shanyu are the same mother and father, he always thinks about Shanyu taking his place after his death.
He glanced at Su Ren: "Then what will you get?"
Su Ren nodded: "Very good. You don't believe blindly, which means you are not stupid. Indeed, when you get these things, we also have to get something from your hands."
"What do you want?"
"Anything will do, animal skins, herbs, and war horses are naturally the best."
"You want war horses? Do you know..."
Su Ren waved his hand: "Don't tell me that you won't give me the war horse. That's because the price we paid did not meet your expectations. Everything has its own value, as long as you feel that the exchange for a war horse is enough.
Let you get more war horses, and then the war horses will not be a problem."
Yu Dan looked at Su Ren, and Su Ren continued: "Every tribe on the grassland has many, many horses, but only a very small part of those horses will become war horses. Most of them will either die of old age or be eaten. If you know
After a war horse has been exchanged for enough grain to feed them for a few months, you will feel that it is more cost-effective to exchange the war horse for grain than to eat the horse directly."
"Don't say that you won't give me war horses so that the Han Dynasty can have the same cavalry as the Huns. This sounds ridiculous. You can think about it for yourself, how a real cavalry needs to be trained, even if the Han Dynasty has enough war horses.
, even if they have built their own cavalry, is it called cavalry? Compared with those of you who have lived on horseback since childhood, they don't know how to ride a horse at all."
"As for the affairs of the Chanyu and the elders, I have thought about it for you. Although you are the prince in the Xiongnu, no one thinks highly of you. Even your original tribe has left you. The Chanyu is still alive now. He said
To put it bluntly, if you wait for him a hundred years later, how many people will be around you? Even if no one competes with you for the position of Shanyu by then, will you dare to sit down? Being a Shanyu requires not only opportunities but also strength."
Yu Dan held a wooden stick and lowered his head to fiddle with the charcoal fire in front of him. The fire was burning very brightly. Everyone was tired after working hard for a long time. They were all sitting on the ground drinking and chatting. They were very fond of the liquor Su Ren brought.
I like it, that's the kind of wine that men should drink. It doesn't have the sour taste of kumiss, and it's more fragrant than the wine of the Han people. After one sip, it's not a problem to ride a horse shirtless on the grassland in the winter.
Looking at the group of people in rags, Yu Shan didn't know what he was thinking. These people were the most elite warriors in his tribe, and now even they have become rags, let alone the people in other small tribes. This
Their life was very difficult in winter. They did not prepare enough food and hay, which caused him great losses. He was not a match for his uncle Yin Zhixie in the first place, but now he is even more passive in this situation.
Zhang Junyue hurried over, saluted Su Ren and Yu Shan, and knelt on the ground in a polite manner: "Your Majesty, that person meets Mr. Su."
Su Ren smiled: "He can't wait any longer. What did you say to him?"
Zhang Junyue shook his head quickly: "The villain didn't say anything, he just served him food and drink."
Yu Shan glanced at Su Ren: "Is he your enemy?"
"That's right! Tell your man to be careful. That man is very good at martial arts. If he wants to kill someone, even ten people can't stop him."
Yu Shan frowned again, with a nervous look on his face: "Then why didn't you kill him?"
Su Ren looked at Yu Dan with a smile: "Because I have a business with him, and if I kill him, my business will be gone. Although he is very powerful, I care more about my business."
Yu Shan shook his head slightly: "I really don't understand what you Han people are doing."
"What's wrong with this? You and I are also enemies, or sworn enemies. Why don't we sit together and drink and chat? There are no permanent friends in this world, only eternal interests! To tell you the truth, that's what I'm here for.
War Horse, if it weren't for this reason, I would never have come to the grassland, but for the sake of you and my friends, I came to you first."
"It's that simple?"
"It's that simple! I believe that if I go to your uncle Yin Zhixie, he will also do this business with me, but I will make less profit."
Yu Shan thought for a long time and stamped his foot: "Then how much grain are you going to trade with me for horses?"
Su Ren smiled, this time it was a happy smile. He had been waiting for Yu Shan to ask this question, and now that Yu Shan finally spoke, it was much easier: "How much grain do you think I need to pay in exchange for a horse?
"
"Just as you said, how about enough to feed one person for a month?"
Su Ren shook his head. Yu Shan frowned: "One ten days, no more!"
"Hahaha..." Su Ren laughed, picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp: "I will give you two months and another half month. Do you think this is good?"
Yu Dan's eyes widened, and he turned back to look at Zhang Junyue. Su Ren knew that before Yu Lai could see him, he had already learned the purpose of his visit from Zhang Junyue's mouth, and maybe he could also find out his bottom line. That would be it in ten days.
Yu Dan's bottom line, but he did not expect that Su Ren did not lower the price, but gave him a big surprise. How much is the ration of two and a half months for one person? Yu Dan knows! How much these grains are worth in Han Dynasty, he also knows,
Yu Shan never expected that a horse could be sold for so much money.
"No regrets?"
Su Ren nodded: "I will never regret it!"
"Then when do we start?"
Su Ren said with a smile: "We can't rush this matter, at least let me finish building the market! And I'll give you another discount. Within three years, my market will only do business with your tribe, and other tribes will have to join."
Either your subordinates can only buy my things from you, but do you know how much more food you will have this time?"
The corners of Yu Dan's eyes jumped again, he patted Su Ren on the shoulder and spoke in a gibberish voice. Su Ren didn't understand and turned to look at Zhang Junyue. Zhang Junyue said quickly: "The king said that Mr. Su is his best friend. In this life, Mr. Su is his best friend."
Mr. Su will never be forgotten, and the Immortal God will also bless Mr. Su."
Su Ren imitated Yu Dan's example and patted Yu Dan on the shoulder: "The Immortal God also bless your Majesty!"
The two big bosses have reached an agreement, and the remaining matters will be discussed by Han Qing and Yu Shan's people. After receiving huge benefits, Yu Dan readily agreed that Su Ren could establish a business in Mayi, and he and his
The tribes under his command will not harass, and they will also stop other tribes that come to harass. In terms of other goods, both parties feel that using grain as the most appropriate conversion method, who made the two bosses only discuss the prices of grain and horses, and nothing else.
Didn't you say anything?
Mo Yu was confined in the tent and was not allowed to take a step. He was not released until Yu Shan was about to leave. Mo Yu could hear the cheers outside the tent, and he could also guess that Su Ren must be with the Huns.
Whatever agreement was reached, he was even more certain that the Huns fell into Su Ren's trick, but he didn't know how deep it was.
After not seeing the sun for three whole days, Mo Yu's originally dark face had almost turned white and his face had become thinner. Combined with his thin body, he looked like a girl from a distance.
The Huns' team had already set off. Su Ren stood at the mountain pass and talked to Yu Shan for a long time. When they parted, the two waved goodbye. When the large group of people were covered by the billowing dust, Su Ren put down his arms and turned around.
"Tell me about it? Why did you come to me? Or what did your boss send you to do?"
Mo Yu's face was expressionless: "I left the Mo family and had nowhere to go. I came here when I knew you were here."
"That's not a good excuse. But if you want to stay, you can stay. If you want to eat from me, you have to work for me. Do you understand?"
Mo Yu nodded: "Understood!"
After returning to Wuzhou, the first thing they did was to notify Li Guang and Cheng Bushi of the matter, and dispatched civilian workers from the Yanmenguan construction site to Mayi. Li Guang and Cheng Bushi followed Su Ren's request without any hesitation, even providing the repair materials.
They all went from the Yanmenguan construction site. As a supervisor, Mo Yu was sent to the Mayi construction site by Su Ren. Mo Yu agreed without any hesitation, and he was conscientious, meticulous and extremely dedicated.
The dilapidated old city of Mayi is undergoing changes. In just one month, the originally dilapidated old city has undergone earth-shaking changes. The city walls do not need to be repaired, and the buildings in the city have been greatly renovated, leaving a large area for
The place where livestock is raised leaves enough space for the coming horses. The Sichuan Chamber of Commerce is also very efficient. When Mayi City was almost repaired, the first batch of goods also arrived at Yanmen Pass.
As the contact person, Zhang Junyue notified Yu Shan of the matter immediately. Within three days, while Su Ren was waiting anxiously, a black line appeared on the distant horizon. The further in, the clearer Su Ren could see.
A dozen Huns herdsmen driving hundreds of horses were coming to Mayi.
Han Qing also let out a sigh of relief: "Yu Shan was indeed forced into a hurry. He actually brought hundreds of horses the first time. Sir, it was right to increase the amount of supplies sent. With these supplies, Yu Shan
The Shan tribe is not afraid that someone will take advantage of it and rob it."
Su Ren stood on the tower and stared at the horses intently, with his hands behind his back and a smile on his face. Everyone was happy except Mo Yu who was standing outside. (To be continued)
