Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 499 Accidentally Disrupted Rhythm

Liu Mu asked again: "Why did you come, isn't it because you saw the changes in the Alinadur tribe. Yes, or not."

"Yes. This interest is very attractive, but it is not enough to make me, the big Huihe, bend my knees and come to visit."

Hahaha!
After laughing a few times, Liu Mu turned over and jumped up, and bowed in Han manner: "Junior Liu Mu sends his greetings to Khan."

Tumidu also hugged his chest in Huihe etiquette: "Huihe Tumidu, send hello to the son-in-law of the Tang Dynasty."

Tu Midu stretched out his hand and grabbed Liu Mu's hand: "I believe even more that if you sit here and wait for me to come, you have enough interests to make me bend my knee to you."

"No, you are wrong. As the Great Khan of Huihe, there is only one person in this world who can make you bend your knees." After Liu Mu answered seriously, Tumidu smiled coldly: "If you say Xieli Khan, He's not qualified."

"I'm talking about my Emperor Tang."

"Then, bring out your temptation."

"Please!" Liu Mu pointed at the carpet, then waved the luthier to leave.Tumidu still didn't let go of the hand holding Liu Mu's arm, and replied: "Please!"

The two sat down, and Liu Mu pushed a bamboo tube in front of Tumidu: "This is the basis for us to sit down and talk."

Tumidu opened and nodded after seeing that it was salt: "Sincere."

Liu Mu pushed another paper bag in front of Tumidu: "This is the reason why Huihe and Datang are not enemies."

Inside the paper bag is brick tea, which is a scarce commodity for Huihe. Tumidu came here because he hoped to open up trade routes.

The Huihe tribe is further north of the Jieli forces. The Huihe people live on meat all day long, and there is no way to live without tea.In modern terms, eating meat alone will definitely affect the digestive system, but tea can solve this problem, and tea can provide the vitamins needed by the human body.So tea is as important a must as salt on the grasslands.

"How much tea can we have every year, we can exchange it with sheep and wool."

The wool trade is no longer a secret. Datang’s demand for wool can be said to be known to everyone in the grasslands, including Xieli.But Xieli's wool cannot be turned into money, nor can it be turned into Tang's goods.

"How much tea is enough to ensure that every family in your tribe can cook milk tea every day, I don't know if it is enough."

"Be sincere." Tu Midu breathed a sigh of relief.

Before he accepted the invitation, he had discussed among the tribes that the most basic condition for cooperating with Datang was to ensure the trade volume of tea and salt of Datang.And buy their wool and sheep.

Liu Mu opened the wine bottle and poured a glass of wine for Tumidu: "From here, it is [-] miles to the south. I went to Lingnan on purpose and stayed in Lingnan for a year just for today's meeting. years to prepare.”

"Ten thousand miles south, for today?" Tu Midu was more and more confused.

Judging from Liu Mu's attitude, it seems that the picture is very big.

Liu Mu stretched out his hand and moved an iron cylinder from the side. The iron cylinder and its contents weighed ten catties. In front of Tu Midu, Liu Mu opened the iron cylinder, took out a bowl from the inside and handed it to Tu Midu. Lost.

After taking a sniff, Tumidu reached out and picked up a piece of orange and put it in his mouth.

"What is this, it's...delicious."

"This is a citrus from the south. It is packed in this iron tube in a special way and can be stored for about half a year. I spent a lot of money and arranged for many people to continue to study how to make the storage time longer. Of course Now, these are just snacks, this is what I really prepared in Lingnan."

Liu Mu took a wooden box one foot long, six inches wide and three inches thick from the side and put it on the low table.

Just as Liu Mu was about to open the wooden box, Tumidu reached out and pressed on the wooden box: "Let's talk about this first, how much money do you want for this tube, no one has ever seen such a thing on the grassland. I like it." , I like it very, very much."

"Ah!" Liu Mu was quite surprised, this thing was originally intended to invite Tu Midu to try something new.

Huihe's territory is very far north. They have heard of what is called fruit, but only the top nobles can occasionally eat some preserved fruits, and they have been placed for a long time.

For them, fresh fruit may not even have a chance to eat it.

Liu Mu clapped his hands lightly a few times, and a maidservant appeared in the distance, Liu Mu ordered: "Go and open the Lingnan fruit cans we brought over, put each of them in a small bowl and send them over, and the rest of the banquets can be quite confusing." Khan's entourage."

The maid bowed slightly and backed away.

After a while, more than a dozen small bowls and two low tables were placed on the carpet.

Tu Midu even ate all the fruits in a dozen small bowls, and then asked: "Tell me, how much money does this cost, your Datang's coins."

"I didn't think about it. The output of this product is very low, and it is very laborious to transport it from ten thousand miles away, so the leftovers are all for myself to eat. Since you want this, I will send someone to check it out, and then I will discuss it with you. One price." Liu Mu explained to Tu Midu.

But Tu Midu demanded: "You arrange someone to do the accounting now, I will buy a lot, a lot. We have sheep, and we still have knives."

"Ah!" Liu Mu patted lightly on the forehead: "You completely disrupted my plan."

Tu Midu asked: "What was your original plan?"

Liu Mu put the wooden box back on the low table: "It's this one. I spent a year preparing it on my trip to Lingnan. For you Huihe, it's salt, tea, and this."

"What is this?" Tumidu picked up a dry leaf curiously.

Liu Mu's mood was completely disturbed, so he called Gao Xingxing over, and Gao Xingxing spent an hour explaining to Tumidu what spices are, the importance of spices to life, and why spices can be combined with salt and tea. Become an indispensable necessity for the grassland.

"I don't really believe it. These dried fruits, leaves, wood chips, and bark are things that cannot be missed."

Tumidu simply couldn't understand what spices were.

"It's very simple, let's cook mutton. Let your people cook it, and also cook it with the kind that can only chop people but not cook meat. As I said, add different spices. Let's talk about it tomorrow night The spice thing."

After listening to Liu Mu's proposal, Tumidu nodded: "You are right, I still believe you. If you can go ten thousand miles away to prepare these things, then it may be very important. Start now Try, but tomorrow night, you have to give me the price of those cans, and I will buy them."

"Okay, okay!" Liu Mu handed over the work to Gao Xing.

Tumidu immediately ordered people to kill the sheep, and then began to try whether the spice was really magical.
