Chapter 168 Su He
Saihan's knife was fast and ruthless, and he slashed straight at Zhu Jingyan's neck.

I saw Zhu Jingyan raised his palm and slapped it firmly on the blade.

boom!
The scimitar vibrated violently, making a buzzing sound.

Saihan didn't expect Zhu Jingyan to have such strength at such a young age, so he followed the palm force of the opponent, turned his whole body half a circle, stepped forward with his left leg, and slapped hard with his palm.

As soon as Zhu Jingyan clapped his hands, he hit Saihan directly on the wrist, and pulled him one step forward, directly pulling him into his arms.

Pushing his chest forward, he bumped Saihan twice with his left and right shoulders, knocking him back a few steps.

"The leader of Saihan is very strong in martial arts, and he is willing to bow down." Seeing that Zhu Jingyan repelled him and gained a huge advantage, Saihan was startled, and was about to call out for help from outside the tent.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Jingyan also took a step back, and at the same time cupped his hands to admit defeat.

This was obviously letting him in on purpose, giving him a step down.

If it were someone else, Saihan wouldn't go down even if there were steps, he would definitely shout loudly and call for helpers to take him down together.

But the identity of the person in front of him is very important. Saihan just pretended to be very angry, but in fact he didn't dare to kill Zhu Jingyan.

Besides, looking at the situation, he may not be his opponent.

"Hmph." Saihan snorted coldly, put the scimitar back into its sheath, "Your martial arts are not bad either."

"Think about it carefully, what you said is indeed reasonable, but I still don't trust you, Xia Ren."

Seeing that the other party's tone softened slightly, Zhu Jingyan was overjoyed, so he hurriedly said: "I know that some unscrupulous businessmen have harmed you before, but from now on it won't happen."

"Big Xia is going to issue trade orders to several specific families, and they will be responsible for trading with the tribes of the grassland from now on."

"If they are cheated in the transaction, then the imperial court can hold them accountable."

"Similarly, in the future, the trade between Daxia and all the tribes on the grassland will be carried out through the Erut tribe, and you can also get [-]% of the income from it. This is what I call countless money."

When Saihan heard it, his brain was thinking rapidly.

Indeed, as Zhu Jingyan said, with the endorsement of the Great Xia court, the selection of powerful merchants to trade with the grassland tribes can indeed ensure smooth trade in the future, and it is beneficial to both parties.

But Saihan thought of more possibilities from it.

Why is Daxia suddenly so concerned about border trade? Is there something tricky about it?

After thinking deeply for a long time, but relying on Saihan's head, he couldn't figure out the purpose of Zhu Jingyan's trip at all, so he could only say: "I have to think about this matter carefully, and I will give you an answer in a few days."

Zhu Jingyan never imagined that he could convince Saihan at once. After all, the two sides began to conduct trade, not only the preliminary preparations, but also a lot of things to be resolved in the follow-up, which cannot be decided in a few words.

"Then I will wait for the leader's decision." Zhu Jingyan nodded, and then moved into the tent prepared for the guests under Saihan's arrangement.

After Zhu Jingyan left, Saihan hurriedly summoned his younger brother, Su He.

After listening to Saihan's narration, Su He also fell into deep thought.

Different from his elder brother, Su He is not good at force, but he can stand out among many brothers and become Saihan's right-hand man, relying on his strategy.

Now when he heard that Daxia actually wanted to conduct unified border trade with the tribes of the grassland, his first reaction was joy.

In fact, Su He has been struggling with how to make the tribe survive the difficult winter for so many years.

Although he is the upper class of the tribe, he will not lack food in winter, and he can even eat and drink.

But Su He's eyes were not limited to the tribe of Erut, what he saw were all the Qiang people on the entire grassland.

The Qiang people have always lived by grazing, and their life is very difficult, especially in winter, many people will starve to death.

He also went to attack Daxia before, trying to plunder a large amount of property and people from the interior of Daxia to enrich himself.

However, because the soldiers of Daxia were brave and good at fighting, if the Qiang people were not good at riding horses, and there were thousands of eagle archers on the grassland shooting arrows to interfere, I am afraid that every time they went out, they would suffer heavy losses.

Especially after Daxia arranged an army formation for the border town, it was even more difficult to shake.

So the Qiang people changed their strategy and began to send a small group of cavalry disguised as herdsmen to sneak into the territory of Daxia, and then ran away after grabbing something.

But this will indeed not provoke the army to pursue, but every time they come and go in a hurry, they can't grab anything at all, and occasionally there will be warriors to make a move.

If this is the case, even if the Qiang people ride horses at a high speed, there will be casualties as a result. In the end, it is found that the gains outweigh the losses.

Therefore, the best way is to do business with Daxia and communicate with each other, so that with food, we can survive the cold winter.

However, all caravans that can come to the grassland are backed by powerful forces or sects.

But they came to the grassland to exchange goods in name, but most of the goods they brought were ceramics, calligraphy and paintings, and there was very little food.

And what they bought from the grassland was not cattle and sheep, but population, especially children with good qualifications. Su He was very dissatisfied with this.

What is most lacking on the grassland is food, medicinal materials and tea, and the most precious thing is population. These hateful businessmen either shoddy or refused to trade at all. There is no way.

Now Su He heard that Daxia sent a prince to discuss border trade, so his first reaction was surprise.

Especially when he heard that the other party proposed that the Erut tribe be used as a bridge to communicate with all the tribes on the grassland, and that they could get [-]% more income, Su He immediately said excitedly.

"Brother, this thing can be done!"

"Oh?" Saihan was a little surprised by Su He's attitude. He thought that his younger brother would persuade him to think about it, but he didn't expect to agree so directly.

"Don't you think there's a risk here?"

"Risk?" Su He looked at Saihan's expression and was a little surprised.

Saihan has always been too lazy to think too much, especially when encountering such profitable things, he has long been dazzled by the benefits, for which Su He has advised him many times.

What happened today? It was obviously a good thing that benefited both parties. Why did he still think about it?

"Brother, the risk you are referring to is..." Su He asked puzzled.

"Hey." Saihan smiled innocently, "On weekdays you always say that I am too impulsive in doing things and don't know how to think twice before acting. I haven't thought about it seriously."

Su He: "..."

So that's the case, what kind of insight do I expect you to have?
Seeing that the corner of Su He's mouth twitched, he began to explain to Saihan.
