Win the Ding 1617

The blizzard that lasted for several days finally subsided.

The north wind blowing from the depths of Siberia once again declared its sovereignty over this land in the form of wind and snow.

There is a vast expanse of whiteness everywhere.

Rivers, mountains, and forests are all covered with snow.

Those tall trees were covered with thick snow, and occasionally a few squirrels jumped out of the tree holes they lived in, looking for the pine nuts they had stored in the woods as food to satisfy their hunger.

Many branches cannot withstand the weight of the snow, and there is a crisp sound of breaking from time to time. This sound echoes in the woods. The branches broken by the storm and the branches broken by the snow cover a layer of snow .

It was already noon, but the sun was still lazily emitting a gloomy light in the sky, and the sky hadn't completely cleared up yet.

A few wild wolves on the snowy field were looking for prey on the snowy ground, hoping to satisfy their hunger.

Suddenly, the wolves who were in charge of sentry sent out a burst of wolf howling, and more than a dozen wolves quickly gathered at one point, and quickly fled to the depths of the snowfield. [

On the horizon in the distance, a team of sledges of different shapes are drawn by hounds and reindeer, galloping in this direction at a fast pace, followed closely by dozens of fast horses behind the sledges.

On a sleigh pulled by six reindeer headed by him, Bomu Bogor, the chieftain of Heilongjiang, was covered with thick fur, his face was smeared with animal fat, and his complexion was as gloomy as the weather.

"There, is it true that, as the head of Aldi said, there are Chinese caravans trading with those Utari people on Kuyi Island?"

"Boss, my men hunted a herd of wild sheep and traveled for six days and six nights, and encountered the tribe of the Ordi headmen. According to him, this group of Han people arrived on Kuyi Island before the first snow fell, Buy the prey of the Utali people. Later, I thought about going to Yongning Temple along the Heilongjiang River to continue to buy furs, but their boats couldn’t pass through the frozen river, so they had to retreat to the vicinity of Haikou. There they built a huge Xierrenzhu, trade with nearby tribes."

The leader of a small tribe respectfully reported to Bomu Bogor that he had asked him several times.

"I hope! Otherwise, we have been walking for more than ten days, and we have been blocked by this heavy snowstorm for four days. Just don't run for nothing!"

Riding in good weather along the frozen Heilongjiang River, a group of more than [-] people walked forward for another three days.Finally came to the mouth of Heilongjiang.I saw the caravan of the Han people mentioned by the tribe of the Ordi headman.

"This is the caravan you were talking about?! They exchanged prey with us?!"

Although he was the leader of Sauron's tribe on the ground in Heilongjiang, he had a wide field of vision, but in front of the head of Aldi who came to greet him.Bomu Bogor also showed a look of surprise.

In the distance, a "huge" city wall appeared on the ice field between the river and the sea.

That is to use felled trees to pile up in the open space, connect them with huge ropes, and then fill them with ice, snow and mud. After the cold current hits, they will naturally freeze stronger than steel.There were people patrolling on the huge wooden stacks, and several flags were frozen hard in the cold wind.

Ordi's subordinates yelled a few words in blunt Chinese to the sentry on the wooden wall. The sentry saw that they were acquaintances, so Ling Tong came to answer a few words.

"This is the big boss of Heilongjiang. Bomubo is indeed an adult. He led several tribe leaders here to trade! Please help me!"

The thick gate of the village slowly opened on the muddy land, and several fast horses galloped out from the gate, "Head Aldi, have you brought your friends to exchange again?"

"Yes! Mr. Lin Da!" [

Lin Wenbing jumped off his horse and carefully looked at the trade team in front of him.The sled was piled up with furs and furs of various sizes, and dozens of people who looked like hunters and warriors also carried packages of animal skins of different sizes on their backs.This team is indeed here to trade.

After Lin Wenbing received Li Shouhan's landing in Nigu, he was ordered to come to this bitter and cold place in the extreme north. He first went to Kuyi Island, where he and the Utali people (this is what they call themselves, and a familiar name is Ayi) Nu people) in exchange for fur and other things in their hands.

Taking advantage of the fact that the snow had not yet frozen, Lin Wenbing led his people upstream along the Heilongjiang River.I was going to visit Yongning Temple, the former seat of Nuer Gandusi. I didn't want to, but after driving inward along Haikou for more than a hundred miles, it started to snow.The guide told him that if he didn't withdraw immediately, everyone would be frozen to death on the river.

Therefore, the group had to turn the bow of the boat and go down the river to build a house near Haikou for the winter.

Hell, this guy Aldi showed up right here and now.

At first, he saw that there were Han people from the far south here, so he planned to take a closer look. If there were few people, then he didn't mind turning these people and goods into his own wealth.

As a result, when he got closer, he realized that this caravan was not only large in number, but also equipped with refined weapons, and his small tribe of dozens of people was absolutely untouchable.

So they changed from collecting protection fees to doing business.

"What can fur be exchanged for?"

"How much fur can be exchanged for an iron pot?"

Walking into the encircled village of Lin Wenbing's caravan, the leaders are like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, (Huh? It seems that the author's ancestors are still slaves under the hands of Huang Taiji and others at this time.) Looking at that is enough A resting column that accommodates the entire population of the entire tribe.

"Business matters, don't worry, please settle down first, leaders and warriors, we Han people have a saying, it's not easy to talk about friends coming from afar. When you come to my place, of course we will invite everyone to drink and eat meat."

Several huge iron pots were set up in the yard, and the tongues of fire happily "licked" the bottom of the pot. The broth in the pot kept tumbling, bringing out the tangy aroma and huge pieces of meat from the bottom of the pot.

All the people from Bomubogor and below were attracted by this tempting fragrance. Someone heard Tongshi translate Lin Wenbing's words, and immediately took out a huge wooden bowl from his arms, ready to start enjoying this delicious taste. hot food.

In the long wooden house, Lin Wenbing ordered people to bring in the stewed animal meat, and brought several jars of burning knives for the more than two hundred people to enjoy.

"The head of Aldi probably told me about the rules here. Anyone who comes to exchange prey with me is my brother. I have a gift for everyone!"

As soon as Lin Wenbing finished speaking, someone came from behind carrying several bamboo baskets, and inside were stacks of large copper bowls. "This is my gift to every brother!"

Holding the copper bowl given to everyone by Lin Wenbing.The bowl was full of hot animal meat. The meat was cooked with salt and spices. Everyone almost swallowed their tongues. While eating the meat and drinking the wine, everyone already regarded Lin Wenbing as a A good brother in his own tribe.

Eat and drink enough.warmed with wine.Someone was singing tribal songs drunkenly in the open space of the house.Singing and dancing the body.

The chiefs were so excited to see the sons of their subordinates.Taking advantage of this space, they gathered around Bomu Bogor, the big boss, to discuss the trade in a low voice.

"Mr. Lin Da, I don't know what our prey can exchange with you?"

as the big boss.Naturally, this matter should be asked by Bomu Bogor.

Lin Wenbing smiled, and led the leaders to another huge wooden house.

Everyone was immediately stunned by the dazzling array of goods in this room!His eyes were dazzled.

Bows and knives hung on the walls of the room, spears stood on the shelves, grain sacks were piled on the ground, and cloths that women liked were placed on the counter.In huge jars were salt as white as snow, and sugar as white as salt, sweeter than honey.In the corner of the room, stacks of large iron pots were piled up high.

Swords and guns, bows and arrows, salt, grain, and cloth, these things are extremely lethal and attractive to these hunting and gathering peoples. These items are both production tools and means of subsistence.

A headman snatches a bow from the wall.After looking at it carefully, the bow was actually made of iron body and copper back. When I pulled it with my fingers, the bow was far stronger than the bow I used.

"If this leader is interested, you might as well go outside and try it out."

An arrow flew away, and the inch-thick wooden plank was shot through eighty steps away.The arrow weakened slightly, flew dozens of steps away, and "shot" into the trunk of a big tree, the tail feathers on the arrow were still trembling.

When the man saw it, he immediately put his bow on himself.He patted Lin Wenbing's shoulder with his hand, pointed to the bow behind him, and there was a chatter in the room, and the head of Ordi and Tong Shi at the side almost simultaneously translated.

"He wants this bow. He asked you how much fur you need for this bow? Do you need fur as high as the bow before you can change it?"

"Or, as many bear paws and bear gallbladders as his fingers and toes?"

Lin Wenbing is also very experienced in doing business with the Sauron tribe, Utali people, and Ainu people in the Heilongjiang area and Kuyi Island. He knows what is indispensable for people living in this bitter cold place. What is missing is the most lethal.

"I use five pairs of tiger bones to buy such a bow!"

Several other heads also shouted the price one after another.

Fur, bear bile, bear paws, and tiger bones are all specialties in the Heilongjiang region, and they are also the main varieties used to exchange daily necessities.

However, even before liberation, the Han people came to this area to trade with the Oroqen, Ewenki and other ethnic groups, and the transactions between the two sides were also extremely peculiar. Such transactions have been handed down for hundreds of years.Below you will see such a scene.

Back in the wooden house where all kinds of goods were displayed, a Sauron man with a face full of wine was carrying an iron pot with a chain that could be hung on a wooden stand, and was staring at the shop assistant. each talking to himself,

"Ah Qi, what's going on, how can you be so polite to a guest?"

The clerk who was called Ah Qi was full of regret, "The big shopkeeper, this barbarian, no, this man, after drinking too much wine, broke in and saw our goods, and immediately wanted to move this pot, mouth I don’t know what to say, Tong Shi is not here, of course I can’t let him move away.”

Tong Shi and Aldi squeezed forward, talking and making gestures with the drunken man who was holding the iron pot tightly and never letting go.

Although the various tribes may be separated by hundreds of miles, the language gap may not be as large as the gap between a province in the interior, and probably the meanings are the same.

"Mr. Big, it's like this. This brave man took a good look at this iron pot, but he was afraid that someone would replace it first, so he planned to take this pot and go outside on his sled to get the fur in exchange. Misunderstood twice."

"Tell him that all of us are here, including his leader, watch over the iron pot for him, and let him get those furs."

After hearing Lin Wenbing's words relayed by Tong Shi, the man immediately put the iron pot in his arms on the ground.Excitedly ran out.

After a while, there was a lot of voices outside, and a few stout men rushed in from the sled with bundles of furs holding bundles of furs.

The man threw the fur in his arms into the iron pot.Place the iron pan on a steady basis.Seeing that the fur would cover the surface of the iron pot, he called his companions to throw the fur in his arms into the iron pot.

Soon, the iron pot was full of fur.

Seeing that the fur in the pot is about to reach the edge of the pot.The furs in the hands of several men have also run out.Seeing that the iron pot was not full, the man couldn't help but sat on the ground and burst into tears.

While crying, he slapped his cheeks with his hands, and kept screaming and cursing.

"What's the matter with him?"

Tong Shi leaned to Lin Wenbing's ear and explained to him in a low voice.

In the past, merchants from Han people or other ethnic groups brought iron products, salt and cloth to trade here, and they all adopted a very peculiar calculation method to conduct transactions.

For example, this man is optimistic about the iron pot, then he must fill the iron pot with fur and then compact it.The fur is still on the edge of the pot, so the iron pot can be taken away.

This is the very peculiar way of trade we mentioned above, or a way for a highly civilized country to plunder a nation in the primitive clan period.Do you think of hundreds of millions of shirts for an airplane?That's basically it.

This man is a soldier under Bomu Bogor. Before the leader of the guard came out for business, he made an appointment with a girl who was a good friend of his clan, and married her in after he returned from trading with the Han people.But the woman made one point, there must be an iron pot at home.This is similar to asking for a wedding room now.

When this man set off, he brought all the prey he had worked so hard to hunt all autumn.Along the way, he kept "shooting" the prey. He was full of joy and planned to change back to the iron pot and embrace his sweetheart to get married, but he didn't want to be in vain.

Perhaps Tong Shi has seen a lot of such scenes, so he naturally talked about it calmly.

A companion next to the man.While reprimanding him loudly, he took something from his waist, put it on the ground, stabbed it with the arrow in his hand, and kept yelling and cursing.

"Stop!" Lin Wenbing stared intently at the thing that was pierced by the arrow made of wolf teeth so hard to discern its true identity, and couldn't help but stop it aloud.

"How is this going?"

He held up the blond hair and blue-eyed head in his hands, and asked the surrounding heads loudly.

"This was a corpse-eating demon that the two brothers killed together this summer. Because of killing him, both brothers were injured and the shooting was delayed, so the prey they hunted was not enough!"

Bomubogor is still quite proud of the record of his warriors.

Lin Wenbing ordered someone to fetch water to wash his hands, and laughed loudly, "With this thing, are you afraid that you won't be able to marry a bride?!"

Hearing Lin Wenbing's words, the two brothers immediately became quiet, staring at Lin Wenbing with wide and slender eyes.

All the leaders of the Heilongjiang Sauron Department present, including Bomu Bogoer and Ordi, cast their eyes on Lin Wenbing.Looking forward to his answer.

"My master told me when I set off that besides fur, ginseng, bear paws, tiger bones, deer embryos, and antlers, there are two other things that can be traded here. Moreover, they are the most valuable. "

He stepped forward and patted the man who had just stopped crying, "We will weigh it later to see how heavy the head you cut off is, and then you can choose something of the same weight, and you can also pay the price."

Weight, discount?These words puzzled the growing number of Sauron's tribe.

Lin Wenbing ordered his assistant to take out a large scale, put the Raksha man's head on the scale and weighed it, "Two catties and three taels!"

In order to make everyone trustworthy, he took out a balance for weighing silver and put the human head on one end of the weighing pan, and the other end was a catty and a bag of salt.

It turns out that a catty of the head of a Raksha can be exchanged for a catty of salt!

"Man, I respect that you are a warrior who dares to kill such an evil Rakshasa ghost. I will sell you this pot at half price." Lin Wenbing ordered people to divide the fur in the pot slightly. They were divided into two piles, and the staff of the firm took away one group, while the other pile was given to the surprised man.

The man and brother were holding the iron pot, the wrinkles on their faces smiled like a chrysanthemum.

However, the bigger surprise is yet to come.

"Do you want to change something else?" Lin Wenbing's smile resembled the snake that lured Adam and Eve to eat the forbidden fruit.

"If you want to exchange it for something else, I'll give it to you at a [-]% discount!"

This made Tong Tong very difficult. After searching for a long time, he couldn't think of how to translate this sentence.

Seeing that Tong Shi was frowning and didn't know how to translate, and all the heads of Sauron's tribe didn't know what Lin Wenbing was going to say, the atmosphere in the whole wooden house was extremely delicate.

Turning his head, Lin Wenbing saw the headman who had tried to shoot the bow and arrow just now, and gestured for him to take down the bow and arrow. The headman hesitated for a moment. After a while, Ai Ai handed the bow with iron body and bronze back to Lin Wenbing.

After weighing a bow and ten arrows on the scale, Lin Wenbing ordered people to weigh the furs and other things of the two brothers. After the two weights were equal, the furs were divided into two piles again. , Keep the big one for yourself, and return the small one to the two brothers.
