Since the war between the Central Plains and their grasslands, there have been very few Central Plains caravans who dared to risk being arrested and imprisoned by the Central Plains court to sell salt tea, food and tapestry in the grasslands.
And the goods brought here every time are pitifully small.
Even if the grassland raises the price three times, there will be very few caravans who dare to take this risk.
Nowadays, let alone the bone department, the fine salt from the Central Plains is in hot demand even in the facial department.
A whole cart full of salt and tea, and two carts of grain.
This will be a great asset to the Department of Bones.
There are very few caravans who dare to risk transporting a load of salt to the grassland!
Today is a double blessing. Not only can I harvest a cart full of salt and tea, but I can also harvest a wise prince.
It's true that God has blessed them to the bone.
It's a blessing in disguise, but is the blessing that belongs to them now about to come?
Thinking of this, Skull Bell immediately said, "Where is the caravan? Take Ben Khan there quickly."
The prairie man wearing animal skins and looking like a guard said: "It's not far from the leader's tent."
With that said, the guards led the way ahead, leading the Counting Bone Clock to the caravan that had entered the Counting Bone Department.
Xu Qing, who was dressed as a businessman, looked at the Bone Counting Clock, bowed and said, "Is this the leader of the Bone Counting Department?"
Bone Counter also said: "It seems that your Excellency is the leader of the caravan."
Xu Qing shook his head and said, "How dare you? Thanks to the shopkeeper, I can do some small jobs for you."
The Bone Clock knows the rules of the Central Plains caravan. You can't get straight to the point and talk about what I want to buy and whether you want to sell it or not.
People from the Central Plains are generally more tactful.
So Sugu Zhong said, "Everyone has come a long way. Thank you for your hard work. Please follow my leader to the big tent to discuss it in detail."
Xu Qing nodded and walked in with a few shadow guards dressed as caravan guards, while dozens of other shadow guards stayed outside.
Chief's tent
After sitting down for a few minutes, I ordered tea to be served. Of course, it was not a good tea, just a sip.
And Xu Qing didn't drink this tea, so who knows if there is any poison in this tea.
After all, the relationship between the Central Plains and the grasslands is very tense now.
It's not like he hasn't encountered tribal leaders who want to kill people and get goods.
It’s not surprising that the people of the Central Plains, especially these Central Plains merchants, almost never drink the tea from their grasslands.
Xu Qing looked at the bone-counting clock and said, "Since the leader is so polite, let's get straight to the point. We have a cart of salt, a cart of tea, and two carts of grain. We risk beheading these commodities.
Did the leader like these that were sent here?"
Shuguzhong smiled and said, "Of course I like you very much. By the way, my leader seems a bit unfamiliar to you. Is this your first time doing business in our grassland?"
Xu Qing, who had already been deceived once, naturally learned a lesson from the experience. He said, "What are you talking about? It's too far-fetched. I did business with the Grassland Wanyan Department a few months ago."
"Oh?" Shugu Zhong said in surprise; "You nobles can actually do business with Wanyan Department?"
Look, after I heard that I could do business with Wanyan Department, I immediately became a noble person.
Shugu Zhong, the leader of the Shugu Department, is naturally well-informed. The caravans who can do business with the Wanyan Department all have backgrounds and will be treated as honored guests by the Wanyan Department.
It was not obvious before. At most, they treated each other equally. As long as the people of this trading company walked on the grassland, the Wanyan Department would provide protection.
This is quite a preferential treatment now. I just hope that these caravans can bring more salt, grain and other things to sell!
Now the caravans who have done business with Wanyan Department come to do business with them. If they don't get more preferential treatment, they will run away soon.
But the caravans on the grassland would pass by their Bone Counting Department when coming and going. Many of the caravans knew the Bone Counting Bell, but they had never seen these caravans Counting Bone Bells.
The appearance is too new.
In order to prevent the leader of the caravan from lying, Shu Guzhong kept a careful eye on it and continued to talk, "Which gentleman from the Wanyan Department is this noble person doing business with?"
Xu Qing said, "When our shopkeeper was doing business with Wanyan Department, I followed him the whole time. That person's name was Agula. Does the leader know him?"
"Agula?" Bone Counter Bell said in surprise: "Can you do business with Lord Agula?"
Agula's name is very resounding in the Wanyan Department, and he is the number one adviser under the Khan.
Although he is not as strong as most warriors on the grassland, he is extremely resourceful.
It stands to reason that the Wanyan tribe is the largest tribe in the grassland. A few months ago, the Central Plains and the grassland were doing business normally, and these merchants were not given much preferential treatment. As the Khan's first adviser, Agula naturally had no time to take care of the Central Plains caravan.
Yu Wanyan's trade matters.
How could such a young caravan leader meet Lord Agula?
Isn't this a joke?
It’s hard to convince him!
Could he really be lying?
But his goods are kept true, why would he lie?
Thinking of this, Xu Qing looked at Xu Qing and said with a smile: "The noble man can actually meet Master Agula? This leader is really rude. This is more than just ability, this is simply great ability! What a pity, Master Agula
There is a black mole on the left side of my face, what a pity..."
Xu Qing said: "There is no mole on Agula's face. Did the leader admit his mistake?"
The Counting Bone Clock continued to test: "Your Majesty, if you think about it carefully, how could it not be there? Did your Majesty remember it wrong?"
Xu Qing shook his head firmly and said: "I worked hard with Agula for two months on that business. I can still remember clearly whether there are any moles!"
After hearing Xu Qing's words, Shuguzhong smiled and said: "It seems that my leader admitted his mistake. Speaking of which, I have only met Lord Agula once. It is normal for me to remember his face incorrectly."
The true heart of Counting Bone Clock: It seems that prostitution can’t be in vain...
Xu Qing looked at the Bone Counting Bell and said: "Then let the leader set a price. If we sell out this batch of grain as soon as possible, we can return as soon as possible to meet with our shopkeeper. Come to think of it, it's really not easy to go to the grassland now."
It’s easy, but we can’t stay too long. Alas... the world really doesn’t give small businessmen like us a way to survive.”
Counting Bones Zhong said: "You have done something like this at a young age, and you will definitely have a bright future in the future."
Xu Qing sighed and said: "Oh, the leader thinks too highly of me. When I first came out, the shopkeeper was angry at me. But he was so fierce that he even beat me! It's so abominable!"
Shuguzhong frowned and said, "How can such a thing exist? You work so hard, but your shopkeeper doesn't pay attention to it?"
Xu Qing nodded in disgust: "That's right, I helped the shopkeeper so much. When he was away, I helped take care of his daughter. Look at what he did. The swelling on my hands hasn't gone away yet.
