Zhizhang Datang

Chapter 276 The troubles of happiness

Lin Sen didn't intend to show off the future white-robed general, he wasn't really so arrogant, Xue Rengui was also an arrogant person.

If it is really done like this, I am afraid that the good relationship will not be formed, but it will become a moment of shame in people's minds. Maybe it will cultivate a life-and-death enemy, and it will run counter to the original intention.

Although he really wanted to see what Xue Rengui's character was like, but he definitely didn't use this method.

It's just that his own caravan happened to be back this time, and Xi Junmai knew he was here, so he had already come here first to prepare to report the situation.

Lin Sen was naturally very concerned about the situation of the caravan, and since he hadn't seen Mr. Xi for a long time, he became more anxious.

There is no need to be polite, both sides have a tacit understanding and directly entered the topic. Xi Junmai gave a detailed introduction to the situation of this trip to the fortress for trade.

On the whole, the trade went relatively smoothly this time. Of course, it is impossible to say that there is no twists and turns in the grassland.

There are always a few tribes in the middle who are overwhelmed and want to directly turn into horse bandits to grab their votes. There are also some who are probably the defeated soldiers produced during the battle between the two khans, Tuli and Jieli, who also want to get a vote. Buying and selling without capital will not return to the tribe with nothing.

It's a pity that although this caravan is the largest and the most numerous, it is undoubtedly that the elites of various families are dispatched, and there are not many veterans. The Turkic cavalry has dealt with it more than once, so they have a lot of experience in dealing with it.

And Xi Junmai also showed the potential of being a general, and the central dispatch was also well-determined, successfully reducing his own losses to a minimum, and almost unscathed to resist the looting again and again.

Relying on the strength of the farmers, the Lin family has also become the one who gained the most after the battle. The captured cattle, sheep, carts and horses alone are not less than what they got in the first few transactions.

Of course, this is also thanks to the extra strength of the four-wheeled carriages at home. Every time they encounter an enemy attack, these carriages of the Lin family will always surround the outermost periphery of the caravan, acting as the first fortress for all commodities. To ensure that everyone's goods are not lost.

As a result, the Lin family won the unanimous praise of several caravans in the same industry. Naturally, Xi Jun bought this kid with a lot of praise.

It is no secret to these acquainted Wu Xun's family that the matter of the two principals, one bright and one dark, is of course no secret. They must know that Xi Junmai, as Lin Sen's personal disciple, is of great importance in this trip.

Since they will continue to go deep into the grassland to conduct transactions, of course there will be no prisoners of war. Bringing those prisoners of war who have different thoughts will become the biggest burden and hidden danger.

However, the trophies won, whether it is various livestock or various leathers, must not be spared at all.

Even with the ones obtained through serious trade, the caravan was absolutely mighty when it returned, and it was probably not worse than the formation of many large tribes when they migrated.

Even the turmoil on the grasslands could not reduce the value of these Tang luxury goods brought by the caravan. Tea also played a huge role in this transaction.

Especially after the milk tea appeared on the stage, it conquered the mind and body of these relatively monotonous prairie people almost instantly, and after learning that it also has many effects such as digestion and relief, it became the object of competition for those heads.

Of course, what is even more crazy is the appearance of spirits. After these self-proclaimed warriors drank their first bowl of soju, they immediately became the most loyal fans of this soju. All the horses, property, and property are replaced with this fairy brew called Burning Knife.

It's so appetizing!It even made them unable to bear the extremely rare fear of the future. If they didn't burn knives and drink, how would they live their lives!

So the bidding started, and many leaders wanted to monopolize these peerless fairy products, and later they fought for it.

But the brothers from Datang are very principled. They don’t sell to you first if you bid high, and they won’t look down on you just because your financial resources are poor. They didn’t even change the price. Stick to the original offer instead of taking the highest price.

Under such a fair and just transaction, Xi Jun bought them not only made a lot of profits along the way, but also won the friendship of more and more tribes, and gradually became the most popular caravan on the grassland.

Of course, it also attracted a lot of prying eyes, but the results of several battles were enough to deter those hungry prairie wolves that were about to move.

There are two invincible artifacts, industry and shochu, to open the way, and other commodities are also hard currencies that have long been famous on the grassland. Their transactions along the way have progressed very smoothly.

Before going to too many places, almost all the products on hand were sold out. This was the case when I had to sell in limited quantities.

The things brought back this trip were even more incalculable, and even Lin Sen, who had seen such a big scene, was very excited.

Needless to say, large livestock such as war horses, cattle and sheep will always be the most sought-after goods in the Tang Dynasty. At least before the capture of the Turks, the price is very firm.

However, such goods are likely to be exchanged for a small piece of silk that is very common in Chang'an, and it is not uncommon for a bottle of burning knife to be exchanged for a war horse.

Those prairie people are so enthusiastic, they just drive the horses to catch up with you, and let you choose at will, just for a jar of soju to go back and have a good drink.

You said that Xi Jun bought them, can they cool down their enthusiasm?Obviously not.

When dealing with tribes, it is natural to be fair and just. When dealing with generous friends, it is natural that friendship comes first. As for the price being several times higher than the original price, it is not a problem. Is it all a courtesy exchange between friends?

By the way, of course, it is indispensable to touch the reality of all the grassland tribes who have visited. After a few glasses of shochu, most of them are sincere and honest, so naturally they have something to say, and they must answer every question. You overfulfilled the caravan's mission to explore the hinterland of the grassland.

Lin Sen basically doesn’t have to worry about those big livestock. Apart from leaving some good-looking ones suitable for war horses to be raised on the Zhuangzi, it also allows more farmers to become cavalry. The Cheng family and others can help to contact them. You can get it if you sell it together, the price is better, and it saves a lot of thought.

But those furs gave Lin Sen a headache. The quantity brought back by the other martial arts companies is also quite large, and the biggest consumer of this piece is naturally the army. All kinds of leather armors, leather goods, etc. can be used. .Lin Sen had just eaten the army rations, so naturally he was embarrassed to grab Cheng Yaojin's share of the leather.

So how to make good use of these things that are more valuable in Datang, but ordinary people can't afford them, has become a difficult problem for Lin Sen.

The market we can face is relatively narrow, and at the same time we have to compete with those people. It is really hard to find a way out.

　My daughter's fever reached 42 degrees at its peak. I didn't sleep all night last night. I have been paying attention to her condition. I took her to the hospital for various examinations at 5 o'clock this morning. After a whole morning, the fever came back in the afternoon. I was taking care of my daughter all the time.After my wife got off work in the afternoon, I just took a little time to get off work on this chapter.

　　I was already exhausted, but looking at the subscriptions for the past two days, it was really cool. I felt that there were only 300 or [-] people reading books. This feeling is really indescribable. Feeling ashamed.

　　Then I’m sorry to say that there is probably only this chapter today. I’m not in the mood, and I’m really out of energy. Let me take a break. It’s been 36 hours since my daughter started having a fever yesterday. I closed my eyes, I really couldn't bear it anymore.I'm sorry everyone, it's time for me to take care of my daughter to rest again.
