In the gushing introductions by Chen Lixin and others, Aslan, in addition to setting the already agreed share of tea bricks, salt and iron pots, also asked about the coal stoves newly brought by the four major families and the coal production called honeycomb briquettes. Lots of interest!
Oh, by the way, there are also those cotton-padded jacket suits that make you feel warm when you wear them!
Oh my God! What kind of brains do these Song people have? Why can they make such good things that can keep people warm? Wearing these clothes is as warm as being in the arms of Eji when you were a child.
There are also these fine tea bricks and salt. With these things, the number of people dying in the tribe every year will be greatly reduced. As for these iron pots, they can be used as heirlooms in the tribe. If there is a battle, they can even be melted and made into iron arrowheads. , but it’s a pity that there is no blacksmith in the tribe.
Aslan was dazzled by the dazzling array of good things and wished he could buy them all back. Before coming here, he thought he had enough things, but now he is not sure. He heard from other tribes that these Song people They were all greedy, and he didn't know whether the things he brought could satisfy the appetites of these Song people.
If not...
Aslan looked at the few hundred Song people in the valley, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, but then he shook his head.
The deal with these Song people was decided by Wang Ting. If Jiamu Bu made a move and let Wang Ting know about it, cutting off a channel for obtaining supplies on the grassland, Wang Ting could send Wang Ting cavalry to raze Jiamu Bu to the ground. , no man taller than a wheel will survive, and all women will become slaves of other tribes.
Therefore, these Song people are still unable to move.
After gathering his thoughts, Aslan began to calculate the things in his hands.
He had already inquired before coming. Due to the concealment of their dumplings, these Song people did not accept the method of trading cattle, sheep and other livestock, and had to trade with gold, silver and jewelry.
But where do they have this?
But it doesn't matter, you can use the tribe's cattle, sheep and horses to go to the royal court to exchange.
In recent years, the royal court had many transactions with the Xiongnu forces in the northwest of the Song Dynasty. They exchanged cattle, sheep and horses with the Xiongnu for a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry that they brought from the northwest frontier of the Song Dynasty.
Before coming this time, except for the cattle, sheep and horses that Aslan left behind, which were enough for the tribe to eat and some breeding sheep, cattle and horses for the coming year, all the rest were replaced with gold and silver, and the rest of the gold and silver were used by other people. What the tribe sent was part of the supplies that they hoped to get a share of in this transaction, which was also customary.
It is impossible for the Jiamu tribe to collect all the supplies, and they do not have the ability.
Every year, a tribe on the grassland rotates as a representative to trade items, and the benefit of these rotated tribes is that they can prioritize the selection of urgently needed supplies and obtain more supplies than other tribes.
He didn't know the Song people's method of measuring gold and silver, but he always felt that it was a bit insufficient, but now he could only bite the bullet and continue.
After looking at the goods, Aslan waved behind him, and immediately a dozen knights came to the four heads of families carrying bags made of cowhide. They put the heavy bags on the ground, and Aslan pointed. Holding these bags, he said: "Take a look, these should be enough to buy your goods!"
He is not stupid either. He had already made preparations before he came. The things these good people sell to them are very profitable. Although he does not know whether the gold and silver he brought is enough, he can pretend to deceive them. Cunning Song people.
Chen Lixin looked at the dozens of heavy cowhide bags in front of him without any surprise. This was not the first time they had seen such a scene.
With a wave of his hand, a man immediately went up the mountain and poured out the contents of the bags one by one, and dumped them on the ground.
Wow! Wow! Wow!
As the contents of the bag were poured out one by one, the clearing was suddenly enveloped in a jeweled aura.
The eye-catching gold and silver light stimulated the Song people present to burst into laughter. All kinds of gold and silver jewelry were piled up on the ground to form a hill.
There are ingots of silver, gold, various gemstones, gold and silver jewelry, and even bloody gold teeth.
There were more or less dark red dried blood stains on these properties, but no one on either side cared.
Everyone had a rough guess about the origin of this gold and silver, so no one had any strange expressions.
Following Chen Lixin's instructions from the four masters of the family, the guys immediately began to take inventory of this treasure mountain, and wooden boxes were moved in one by one.
Gold and silver were placed one by one, and jewelry was also classified according to category. In just an hour, the detailed amounts were quickly sorted out.
A bookkeeper quickly came to the four people and reported in a low voice:
"Masters, we have counted it out. There are six boxes of gold here, totaling 5,672 taels of gold.
Sixty-seven boxes of silver were sorted out, totaling 67,000 taels. The remaining copper coins were too numerous to be counted at the moment, but according to the weight, they should be around 10,000 taels.
Adding in the rest of the gold, silver and jade jewelry, converted into silver, there are almost 670,000 taels here this time! "
"Hiss!"×4
"So many?"×4
After listening to the report, the four of them all gasped, six hundred and seventy thousand taels!
Although there were many in the past, it never exceeded 500,000 taels, but this time the Jiamu tribe actually got nearly 700,000 taels. This is really rich!
This much silver is naturally enough to exchange for their goods, and it can even be exchanged ten times more within the customs!
The three of them were very excited, but they didn't show their tacit understanding. The four of them looked at each other and quickly reached a consensus.
Chen Lixin immediately came to Aslan slowly with a frown on his face.
Across the way, Aslan suddenly thought to himself when he saw his expression. It seemed that the gold and silver he brought was not enough!
But his face remained calm.
"Dear Aslan Khan, although the gold and silver you brought this time is a lot, if you want to exchange all these things for us, you may still..."
Before Chen Lixin finished speaking, Aslan knew what he wanted to say.
He immediately interrupted him, looked at Chen Lixin seriously and said:
"Song people, I know what you want to say, but what I want to tell you is that the eagle on the grassland will not be deceived by the cunning fox.
Ben Khan knows that you can get very high profits every time you trade with us. Even though we brought less gold and silver this time, I believe you did not lose money, so I advise you to put away your greed as big as the ocean. Appetite, make a good deal with Jiamube, otherwise..."
Speaking of this, Aslan's sharp eyes suddenly glared at Chen Lixin fiercely. The head of the Chen family was so frightened that he couldn't help but take two steps back, and his back was immediately soaked with cold sweat.
He remembered that he and others would not be protected by the army this time, so it was better not to be too arrogant. If these barbarians were angered, they would use their knives. Although the probability was not high, it was only this time. , he can't afford to gamble and is unwilling to gamble.
Wiping the sweat from his forehead and putting away his little thoughts, Chen Lixin smiled awkwardly and said: "Haha, respected Aslan Khan, you misunderstood. I mean these gold and silver are enough. We will give you this time." All of them were traded to Jiamube, and I hope that the friendship between Jiamube and us will last forever!"
Aslan just snorted coldly and waved his hand. The knights who were standing quietly behind him suddenly cheered and rushed to the huge mountain of supplies to start sorting and preparing for transportation.
The knights were very excited to see so many supplies, because they knew that they had a share in it, and with these things, their families would be able to live much better next year.
I don’t know if the cattle, sheep, and horses handed over to the tribe are enough, or whether they can exchange for an iron pot after exchanging tea, salt, cotton-padded jackets, and coal stoves.
That's an iron pot. If there are iron pots in the tribe, they were passed down from Grandpa Owo's time.
Most of them had many holes. They had just seen that there were many brand-new iron pots. If only they could get one of them, maybe their Adolma would agree to his proposal and marry into his family!
Thinking of the joy of getting iron pots, the faces of the Jiamube boys carrying supplies all filled with heartfelt smiles.
Aslan watched the actions of the young people in the clan with a smile on his face, and couldn't help but recall his own youth.
While everything was proceeding in an orderly manner, they did not know that the black-armored cavalry outside the valley had already blocked the entrance of the nameless valley.
Zaxia, who was left on guard outside the valley by Aslan, was fleeing with his remaining one hundred cavalry being chased by less than two hundred black-armored cavalry.
Recalling the scene just now, Zhacia could not suppress the fear in her eyes until now.
The black-armored cavalry who appeared like ghosts advanced silently and charged. The dark steel armor blocked the arrows they shot. The black-armored knights raised their spears and charged towards them!
One after another, the cold spears pierced the bodies of the Jiamu warriors. Then the black-armored cavalry threw away their spears, drew out the narrow sabers from their waists, and began to kill the crowd. Corpses were everywhere in their path, and the bodies were mutilated. Broken limbs and meat were scattered everywhere.
The cavalry led by Zaxia collapsed after being killed by the opponent several times and began to run away.
The gap between them was really too big. The moment their weapons collided, their scimitars were cut off by the opponent's saber. Even if the scimitars hit the enemy, they could only leave a shallow line on the opponent's cold armor. A shallow white mark will immediately split you in half with the opponent's saber.
There was no way to fight back, it was a massacre between the two sides!
Bloody massacre!
run! run! run!
They can only run as fast as they can!
Chase! Chase! Chase!
More than a hundred black-armored cavalry dragged their narrow sabers diagonally towards the prairie cavalry running ahead!
They run after them! They can't escape!
…
