Chapter 167 The Tuyuhun People Who Settled in Chang'an

Whether a country is good or not, it is easy to find clues from commercial activities.

To the Tuyuhun people, a yak is definitely not just a simple animal.

Yaks are more like family members to them. Tuyuhun people will take yak milk, yak hair, and yak dung, but they rarely kill yaks for meat. Many yaks die of natural old age or disease, not life and death. At that time, the Tuyuhun people would not kill the precious yaks to eat or sell them.

As far as Yunchu knows, this custom has even been extended to the 50s in his country.

It wasn't until the beginning of the 60s that people could eat whatever they wanted, which broke the myth that yaks usually die naturally.

Then, after people tasted the taste of yak, this thing began to be bred in large quantities on the northwest plateau, and finally became a dish on the table.

Therefore, it is not normal for the Tuyuhun people to sell such a large number of yaks. In the past, there were a small number of yaks sold in Chang'an City, but those yaks arrived in Chang'an with consigned goods, and they carried the spirit of dying on the ground. Yaks are slaughtered for meat.

Now, Yunchu can easily buy a hundred yaks, which shows that Tuyuhun no longer has enough pastures to feed so many yaks.

Moreover, they must very much need some materials from Datang to support their king to continue fighting with the Tubo people.

"Why don't you change something else? I think what you need most now is not a consumable such as tea. Look, I have a very good iron pot here..."

"We need armor..."

Yun Chu sighed and said, "Do you think I'm the kind of person who can get armor? I have a pair of armor at home, but I, a mansion soldier, wore it myself. Your request is really too much. .”

"Tang knife, spearhead, arrowhead..."

"Stop, stop, can you tell me something I can do, such as an iron pot."

A Tuyuhun businessman stood up and said sadly: "The warriors of Tuyuhun have been fighting against the Tubo people in Quling for six years. We still lost a lot of pastures, a lot of shepherds, a lot of cattle and sheep.

Those of us who graze on the Dafei River can no longer graze cattle and sheep safely, so we can only sell the precious yaks and exchange some weapons to fight the Tibetans to the death.

When we have nothing to eat, you want to sell us the iron pot, and you want to squeeze the last drop of blood from the poor Tuyuhun shepherds.Young Lichang, you have never seen those Tubo people with yellow mud on their faces. They will cut off your head cruelly and hold it in their hands to cheer. "

Yun Chu waved his hand and said: "I have done this kind of thing in the Western Regions before, it's not fun at all, blood will splatter everywhere, we usually cut off the enemy's left ear and string it on a leather rope, so that more people can benefit. Take some."

"Don't forget that behind Tuyuhun is Datang."

"You're quite right. When you and the Tibetans lose both sides, it's our turn to go up and beat the dog in the water."

"How can you Tang people do this? We are a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, and our king is the "King of Qinghai" conferred by "Tian Khan". Our Ke Dun is Princess Honghua of the Tang Dynasty, the son of our king's two sons." Ke Dun is also the princess of Tang Dynasty, we are a family."

"Well, well, it seems that if I don't come up with something good, you won't let go, will you?

You see, Tuyuhun seems to be doomed. I just bought dozens of houses in Guangfufang, which are still small buildings. Now that you have sold all your sacred yaks, it can be seen that you also There is nothing good left to offer.

Why don't you just buy a few houses from me, live in Chang'an, take over your wives and children, and live in Chang'an, leave that piece of land full of cow dung smell forever and live in Chang'an. "

Hearing what Yunchu said, the three Tuyuhun merchants who looked relatively wealthy left the hall, stood in the courtyard and chatted a lot in Tuyuhun dialect. Obviously, two of them were willing to stay in Chang'an and not go back. There was only one elderly man who seemed to be very stubborn and beat the two younger Tuyuhun men with his hands.

Seeing something interesting, Yunchu quickly ordered Mrs. Cui to take out the renderings of the construction of Guangfufang that she had drawn and spread them on the table.

The renderings are the same as those produced by real estate developers in later generations.In this rendering, Guangfufang is a city that never sleeps and is full of people and bright lights. Even after the gate of the workshop is closed, the inner street is still full of people.

There are young people who support the elderly for night tours, some men put their children on their necks and blow the car with their mouths, and some young couples swim hand in hand.

Anyway, in this rendering, everyone is smiling, everyone looks very happy, the food in the big dining hall is extremely rich, and the guests in the big inn are listening to the diva singing.

In short, if Yunchu really moved the world in the picture to the real world, then Guangfufang is worthy of being a real paradise on earth.

When the three Tuyuhun merchants came in again, their first attention was attracted by this picture.

The eyes of the two young Tuyuhun people who had already been persuaded by the oldest Tuyuhun man suddenly lit up again after seeing the picture.

Yunchu added some tea to the old Tuyuhun merchant, and said nonchalantly, "Brother looks 50 years old, right?
There must be many people in this world who are sorry for you, and there are also many people you want to repay, right? "

The old Tuyuhun man closed his eyes, sighed sadly, and remained silent.

Yun Chu continued: "When a person lives to the age of 50, basically he should pay back what he owes to others, and take back what others owe to you.

This should be the best way to live, so that when you close your eyes and die, you will have no regrets.

It's a pity that such a way of dying is an extravagant hope for many people. After you die, what about the many people who depend on you to live?
Should they continue to be killed by the murderous Tibetans, or should they be left with a place where they can survive and continue to multiply, so that whenever they live a happy life, they will think of who created this for them? happiness, so that you can live forever in their hearts. "

The old Tuyuhun merchant looked at the two selfless young Tuyuhun merchants who were chatting with Mrs. Cui and asked, "Can we live in Chang'an?"

Yun Chu nodded and said: "Of course, as long as you buy a house in Guangfufang, your name can be written on the title deed of the house, and the house will also belong to you. On this point, countless barbarians in the West Market I can testify to you."

The old Tuyuhun man shook his head and said, "Write down my youngest son's name, I am going back to Tuyuhun to fight to the death with the Tubo people."

Yun Chu sighed and said: "Tuyuhun is really a hero, I even think that with a Tuyuhun like you, Tuyuhun shouldn't perish.

I am now wondering how you drove so many yaks from Dafeichuan to Chang'an. "

"We walked out along the course of the big river. Although it was a bit difficult, it was safe. There were no people, no shepherds, and no robbers."

"The big river? The big river outside Tongguan?"

"It's the big river, but after we walked out of the canyon, we took the main road, so that the Tibetans would not be able to find us."

"It's not that the Tubo people can't find you, it's because the Tuyuhun officials and the army can't find you, right?"

The old Tuyuhun man looked at the wonderful prospect that Cui had painted, and the dazed young Tuyuhun man gritted his teeth and said, "I want ten big houses."

Yun Chu curled his lips and said, "One hundred cows can only buy one big house. You don't have that many cows."

The old Tuyuhun said calmly, "We have five hundred cows."

Yun Chu smiled and said, "Okay, the five big houses are yours now."

"I'm going to see the big house now."

"Okay, I'll take you to see it."

Half an hour later, four people on horseback came to Guangfufang. They didn't see the big house, but only a busy construction site.

"Where's the big house?"

"Under construction."

"fraud!"

Yunchu looked at the two young Tuyuhun people who fell directly from heaven to hell, and felt that they knew nothing about the new thing in Chang'an——the pre-sale of houses.

He didn't explain too much, and dragged the Hubing boy out of the shop, and said to one of Tuyuhun, "Look at his house if you like it. If you like it, you can live in it tonight."

The young Tuyuhun man looked at the dilapidated and low house of the young man who sold the Hubing, shook his head repeatedly and said, "I want a new one."

Yun Chu smiled and said, "If you want a new one, you have to wait half a year to build it. That's what you think."

"You are a liar!"

Yunchu didn't expect these barbarians to accept death in such a way, so he led him to a house whose foundation had just been laid, and said to him, "From today onwards, you will stay here, and after half a year, when the house is built, you Just live in it, the five big houses side by side here are yours."

"We want the title deed." The old Tuyuhun man finally came up with a more reliable idea.

Long before the house was built, Yunchu had already divided the original land deeds at Wannian County Hu Cao into new land deeds one by one, and asked Liu Yi to find out the land deeds of the five houses that had not been written on them. Handed it over to the Tuyuhun people, so they seemed relieved.

The business was done, Yunchu got [-] yaks, and when he saw [-] dying yaks in Luomashi, he realized why these three Tuyuhun people were so gullible and asked for a house in such a hurry Yes, in such weather, the [-] yaks will all die of heat within a month at most.

Let Liu Yi recruit a hundred people from Jinchangfang, quickly cut off all the fur on the yaks that were about to die from the heat, and feed them well water, so they seemed to have some energy.

Seeing the bare yaks that gradually began to eat grass, Yunchu felt relieved that he should do more business with the Tuyuhun people.

A tribe that is going through war, there should be many people who are willing to flee Tuyuhun and settle in Chang'an, right?
