When Li Dangtou was still a follower, he had already played with the bonfire many times at the southern herdsmen. People can dance and sing, no worse than the herdsmen who were born and raised here. It's just that tonight, because the clan king arranged for him to eat at the clan king's recent case, the clan king sat firmly in his seat from beginning to end without moving. Of course, Li Darttou would not have left the clan king and went down to sing and dance by himself, after all, he was not a rough grassland herdsman.

Li Darttou, who was not inferior at all in this regard, listened to Chen Dagongzi's provocative words, and didn't care at all. Glancing at him, he said slowly: "If there is such an opportunity in the future, I will stay away from you, so as not to let people know that I know you!" It's not good-looking on the face! ”

One sentence made Chen Dagongzi and Xiaohu roll their eyes angrily, and the two of them pretended to sleep in the quilt together, and no one wanted to take care of Li Dart's head.

Li Dart didn't care about touching his nose, and also lay down and fell asleep.

The next day, Xiaohu and Chen Dagongzi got up early, took out all the things they brought, put them on the ground, and let the herdsmen take the goods, here they wrote down the name, the name of the item, the quantity, and the exchange conditions negotiated on the spot.

After finishing the exchange of goods, Xiaohu began to teach the herders to make zuò milk powder.

"Auntie, sister-in-law" Xiaohu didn't know how to call the women in the herdsmen, so he had to follow his own name. These women didn't understand, but they also knew that Xiaohu was calling them, and they all looked at Xiaohu with puzzled faces.

He continued: "We need a lot of powder, but we don't have cows there. It's hard to supply on. Therefore, I want to teach you how to make zuò milk powder this time, and I will send someone to pick up the goods every once in a while in the future. Whether you want money or things, we will do our best to meet them. ”

With the help of Li Darttou, these women finally understood what Xiaohu meant, they had a kind of surprise that pie fell from the sky and smashed on their heads, one by one you looked at me and I looked at you, and no one knew what to say.

Milk has always been a big problem for them, unlike cows and sheep. There is no time limit, when you want to eat, you will slaughter a head, and when you don't want to eat. As long as you raise it, there will always be a saying that it will be broken. Milk, on the other hand, has to be squeezed out on time every day, and it is not eaten all at once after it is squeezed out. We have to find a way to deal with the rest. Otherwise, it will be bad and you can't eat it again. If you throw it away, you will waste it. And the cheese made from the leftover milk is not a good place to sell, and it is basically for home use. But there are only so many people in the family, where can they use so much cheese?!

Now that this foreign businessman has helped deal with such a big matter, they really dare not believe it. Both surprised and confused, and afraid of empty joy. For a long time, no one could figure out how to respond to Xiaohu's words.

Li Darttou helped break this embarrassing situation, and said to Xiaohu with a smile: "They are happy and stupid!" I don't even know how to speak! Xiaohu nodded and smiled, and received Li Dart's kindness.

Xiaohu wants to teach the women how to make milk powder. Soon Buhe's father and some nobles got the news. When they learned that Xiaohu would be buying it for a long time in the future, they quickly saw how much it meant to them. This time, the king did not sit on the throne from above. Instead, people carried a lot of precious stones, gold, silver, spices and other relatively rare valuables, and personally led people to Xiaohu's side.

Xiaohu has always used to salute the clan king, and the clan king did not care about the salute that Erya used to clasp his fists with both hands on the rivers and lakes. This time, he came, not only about milk powder, but also about a major matter of livelihood, and he really wanted to be able to get Xiaohu's help.

Tongguò Xiaohu had been here several times, and his own understanding, as well as his son's relationship with them, plus what he had heard from the southern herdsmen, made him believe in Xiaohu's credit. However, even so, he still wouldn't think of asking Xiaohu for help. It's just because Xiaohu took the initiative this time to solve the problems that have plagued them for hundreds of thousands of years, and he saw a little hope.

He sat for a long time, and after saying kind words that Xiaohu didn't understand for a long time, he said the subject: "Wang Xiashi!" Although I don't know you very well, you are the most honest businessman I have ever met among the Han people who have come to do business with me for so many years. Therefore, I would like to ask you to make an extra trip every year in the future, and send us some food, and I will give you the highest price, and only one thing is that you must give it well.

In the past, you Han merchants also sent grain to us, and we all suffered from the high price, but they were so bad that what they gave us was grain mixed with bad noodles, and after we drove them away, no one sent us grain anymore.

I came to you to do this business with you because I believed you wouldn't do anything like that! ”

Xiaohu grew his mouth and asked, "Ah! Our court is also willing to buy grain for you? ”

The clan king looked at Xiaohu who was out of shape because of surprise for some reason, and asked suspiciously: "You don't know?!" Grain, salt, and tea were the main topics of negotiation in every trade between the two countries. And food is the most important thing, and we will exchange horses or gold and silver with you for a certain amount of grain every year.

It's just because the grain sent by your court will be intercepted by the south every time, and it won't reach us at all. And your private merchants occasionally have grain sellers who will bring grain over, but they will always mix some bad grain, and we would rather not eat that kind of grain than ask for it.

We can only go to your border city every year to buy grain, but the grain merchants on your side are also very hateful, every time we buy, the grain is good, and after we come back, it will not be stored for long before it will spoil, and we can't eat it.

This time, I really want to do this business with you because I am worried about you. You don't need to send more, just send it according to the amount negotiated between our two countries. ”

Xiaohu didn't know the inside story of the court, so he didn't dare to agree to the clan king casually, so he only raised his head and looked at Li Daotou, who was standing next to him as an interpreter. Li Darttou knew a few things, but he didn't know them in detail. So he could only shake his head at Xiaohu and said, "I don't know much either!" You either wait to go back and ask Old General Qin, after all, this grain matter is relatively easy to have problems. It's better to ask clearly! ”

"Hey!" Xiaohu nodded in response, and said to the clan king: "Thank you for the king's trust in me, but I don't know anything about this matter, so I didn't dare to agree to you rashly, if I can't do it in the future, I will lose the trust between you and me." Please also give me time to understand the situation when I get back. I'll send you another message about my decision, okay? ”

Because Xiaohu's reason is very legitimate, the clan king has no choice. I had to nod my head in agreement, and finally I was worried about it: "Then you have to reply quickly, at least before your wheat is ripe next year!" Also, you made this milk powder thing. Thank you well. In the future, whatever you want, we will give you the lowest price. If someone else comes and asks for the same thing as you, we will give him twice the price, and we will not let others take advantage of you. ”

Seeing that Xiaohu was very serious and happy to accept his overtures, he was relieved to go back with people, Xiaohu shouted for him to bring back the things he brought, but he couldn't call people back.

As soon as the clan king's people left, Xiaohu discussed this matter with Li Daotou and Chen Dagongzi. Chen Dagongzi belongs to the kind of character who seeks stability. Relatively speaking, it is also relatively conservative, so it is more opposed to Xiaohu being involved in such things.

Li Dart is well-informed. He had more ideas than them, and he said: "I think it's okay for Xiaohu to do grain business with here, but it's not appropriate to send grain out of the country directly." If someone wants to go against Xiaohu and talk about this grain, Yan zhòng's words can also make people unable to turn over. I think the best way is for Xiaohu to open a grain shop in the city over there, and they will go there and buy food by themselves. Anyway, he also said that they could go to the border city to buy food. As long as Xiaohu ensures that the food is not bad and not mixed with bad food, it will be fine! ”

When Xiaohu heard this, he clapped his hands and said, "This method is good!" It just so happens that my daughter-in-law wants to open a grain shop in the north, and there is no need to worry about it, the imperial court has such and such a ban on grain exports. ”

Chen Dagongzi also thinks that this method can be used, after all, there are many grain shops in the border city, and everyone can sell them, so of course they can sell them. But he still added: "However, I think it's better for you to wait until you go back and discuss it with Old General Qin!" Don't reply to them all at once, there's no rush on this matter anyway. ”

Li Darttou and Xiaohu both felt that what Chen Dagongzi said was right and unanimously agreed. This matter was decided, and Xiaohu no longer bothered about it.

When the herdsmen were able to make milk powder independently, Xiaohu sorted out the livestock, fur, and wool that he had exchanged from the herdsmen, as well as the grass seeds that Buhe, Batu, and Bayar had helped collect, as well as the beef tendon, cheese, beef jerky, and wolf meat jerky given by the herdsmen. Together with the impatient Chen Dagongzi who had been waiting for a long time, he set off for the herdsmen of Huinan. Buhe, Batu, and Bayar took their entourage and sent them all the way, following them for several days, until the southern herdsmen border did not reluctantly turn back.

When I returned to the southern herdsmen, I found that the nobles here were more enthusiastic about Xiaohu than before. Xiaohu looked at them a little inexplicably, and secretly speculated in his heart, what happened to these people?!

When I returned to the resting place, the children who had finally come together learned the reason. One is that these aristocrats want toothpaste, toothbrushes, face towels, and the other is milk powder, hoping that Xiaohu can buy it for a long time.

Toothpaste, toothbrushes, and towels can be sold in multiple places, of course, good! Being able to get a long-term supply of milk powder was originally what Xiaohu wanted to do when he came to the grassland, and of course this is needless to say. Xiaohu asked Tieda and Kaneki to send a reply from him in affirmative.

These children who came with them, because they could read and write, their status here rose sharply. Only the children of the nobility and royal families had this special right to read and write, and the commoners and slaves were not allowed to read and write.

And Jin Mu and Tie Da read more books than the children of the nobles and royal families, because they not only can write and read Mongolian, but more importantly, they can also read and write the Chinese characters of the Central Plains, and can memorize many very mysterious books in the Central Plains, some cultures that even the children of their nobles and royal families have never learned. So since they came back, these children no longer walked among the commoners, and they were often invited to the tabernacle of the nobility. Therefore, Xiaohu asked Tieda and Jin Mu to pass the word for him, which is not rude at all!

Those nobles who had asked for Xiaohu sent some of Xiaohu's family beef tendons, wolf skins, cheese, jerky, cattle, and sheep to Xiaohu, thinking of getting closer to Xiaohu. It can be seen that it is not that people of different races do not know how to do public relations, but that they are often annoyed and unwilling. (To be continued......)
