In the direction of the grassland, groups of cattle and sheep, driven by herdsmen, slowly moved towards the market.
The herdsmen may not receive the news, but they can still calculate the time of the first household market every year. The cattle and sheep have gone through a winter and the fat is no longer available for a good price, but the calves in the belly have already fallen. , now they can be exchanged for salt and cloth, which is a profit for the herdsmen.
Of course this is only for the lower class herdsmen!
There are still good things in the grassland, such as wild horses, ginseng, pearls, yams, cordyceps, gemstones, and gold nuggets. These are all rare items. As long as one is sold, the herdsmen who own them can have no worries all year round.
However, all these people are now blocked from the border. Thousands of Wu Dynasty's iron cavalry are constantly swimming along the border three hundred miles from east to west, driving the herdsmen to concentrated areas. Apart from not using the knife, they are still so tough and decisive.
"I am the Tatar Khan's staff. My Khan has received your invitation and I want to go there!"
"Here's the letter!"
Hannu Fanwen took the invitation letter, stopped a group of patrolling cavalry, and made his request loudly.
"For futures?"
The masked cavalryman looked down at Fan Wen who stopped him.
What kind of bullshit staff are they? They are just a bunch of lackeys who have forgotten their ancestors. If it were not repeatedly emphasized above, this kind of guy who wants to rush the cards and show his superiority would have been hacked to death long ago.
"Yes, my Khan is willing to cooperate, and I have brought my Khan's sincerity!" As he said, Fan Wen pointed to the horse team in the distance and emphasized, "Where is the foal that just fell to the ground last fall? That is The descendants of the 'Fire King', Khan entrusted me to give them to the master of the futures market!"
There are legends of the Wild Horse King on the grasslands all year round. Countless strong herdsmen all regard it as their own glory to have trapped the Wild Horse King.
The year before last, a group of maroon king wild horses appeared in the grasslands near Guangchang. They were dubbed the Flame Kings by warriors and herdsmen. In order to finally catch the Flame King, in the three months of summer and autumn, countless warriors , herdsmen emerged from their pastures and went deep into undeveloped wild lands.
In the end, the Flame King was taken away by the Tatar eagle Sukotai. Unfortunately, during the three months of pursuit, he was exhausted. In order to escape, the Flame King himself was scarred and was taken back to the Tatars. The queen died not long after, leaving a legend behind.
"Are they really the descendants of the Flame King?" The knight leader was obviously interested.
During the three months when the Flame King was active, many martial arts masters had the experience of sneaking into the wilds to hunt down the Flame King. Anyone who knew horses knew about those Flame Kings who had been tracked for three months but could not be found. value.
At that time, the commander of Wanhu Mansion in the North Palace, Wanhu Niuzhang, even offered a thousand gold to privately offer a reward.
Although it is not the Flame King himself who is sent here, his pure-blooded offspring is a golden sign in the northern grasslands. Once he is trained, he will definitely be a top-notch war horse, and it is the kind that you can’t find anywhere to buy even if you want to. That kind of thing.
"I swear on the name of my Khan, that is definitely the descendant of the Flame King. Believe me, when you see it, you will no longer doubt it!"
Fan Wen said excitedly.
In grassland culture, giving away top war horses and their pure-blood offspring is the highest etiquette in the grassland, symbolizing friendship and alliance.
There is no need to say anything more, as long as the descendants of the Fire King are sent to the right person, the other person will understand what the Tatar Khan wants to express.
"Take me to see it!"
The knight leader was full of envy. As a patrol cavalry, he naturally knew the origin of the futures market and was greeted at the same time, but this did not prevent him from taking a look at the descendants of the Flame King!
If you didn't know better, it was just a little pony. He really looked like he was riding it to inspect the goods for the leaders of the futures market.
“Isn’t it great!”
Fan Wen led the cavalry to their cavalry and pointed at the carmine red jujube mother who was surrounded by everyone, "According to our inference, the Flame King should come from the wilderness north of the Horqin Grassland. Only where can wild horses be so strong and have such wild horses?" Such gorgeous hair!”
The Flame King is famous for his maroon hair. Anyone who has followed the Flame King knows that when the Flame King runs, it is a ball of flowing fire.
The foal obviously inherited the Flame King's coat color, which was carmine red. The only pity was that it was a mare.
Come to think of it, if it's a stallion, who would be willing to give it out? Wouldn't it be better to keep it for breeding?
With luck, you might be able to recreate the legend of the Fire King.
"Take it with you and come through the border with me. I will send someone to Qinggu Tun!"
With all the war horses sent out, there is no need to worry about these people causing trouble, but one still needs to be on guard.
…
With the operation of the Tatar Khan, everyone in the Northland and the border grasslands exploded when they heard the news.
No one expected that the Tatar Khan would give away the pure-blooded descendant of the Fire King, and to a warrior.
The legend of the Flame King has been the hottest topic in the southern foothills of the grassland in the past ten years. In order to compete for the wild horse King who was the first to appear in the Horqin Grassland, the most powerful warriors from all the grasslands followed the Flame King's horse group southward. Many stories happened during this period. .
If it weren't for the inconvenient news and there were no merchants on the grassland, someone might have started betting at that time to see who would be the final winner.
Although the Flame King was taken advantage of by the Tatar tribe in the end, everyone got what they wanted.
The only regret is that the Flame King died due to his injuries.
And now the pure-blooded descendant of the Flame King is given to the warrior.
The huge topicality has also ignited everyone's interest. They really want to know why the Tatar Khan sent pure-blood descendants, who got these topical war horses, and what kind of story is behind them. .
Faced with this situation, Fang Fang decisively attacked and sent Li Yannian to take over the war horse to quickly complete the packaging of the futures market and promote the concept of the futures market to the grassland.
In less than half a month, the entire southern foothills of the grassland was filled with various news from the futures market, including the Jurchens, Mongols, and even the distant Liao Kingdom.
Together with the overseas caravans that had just arrived in the grassland, before the goods were delivered to the household market, greeting cards and invitations from various caravans were delivered to the door one after another.
…
At dusk, Fang Fang and Huang An teamed up to see off the last group of guests.
Compared with the depressed Wu Dynasty family, these cross-border business leaders are bolder and more decisive, and they can make decisions on the spot without saying anything.
"If you have money, your confidence is different!" Huang An stood at the door, looking at the leaving carriage, "We have to consider it for a few thousand taels of silver, but these people, spending a few thousand taels, feel like Just like we spend dozens of taels, we don’t care at all!”
"The topic of futures is too hot now, the publicity barrier has been cleared, and with the exclusivity, the success rate is close to 70%. Unlike before, I dare not end up talking about everything. I can only say that I overestimate them!" Fang Fang said with a smile.
