Chapter 794: The Market Opens

The old marquis didn't expect that his grandson would propose to help the Huns, and the excerpt listed the current predicament of the Huns and the problems faced by the Mo Jiajun one by one.

From this point of view, it is indeed a good thing for the Xiongnu and Nangong to not fight. The people of both countries do not have to be affected by the war, and they do not have to have an endless supply of food and grass.

But as a general, if you don't want to fight and only seek peace, you are not a good general. And the old marquis has dealt with the Huns for many years,

The most affectionate of the nature of the Huns, they are the most untrustworthy and do not talk about credit, how can they be expected to stop harassing the people of the Huns?

The old marquis doesn't know what kind of sperm his grandson smoked, but the old marquis himself resolutely disagrees with helping the Huns.

And if the current boss in front is the old marquis, the old marquis will definitely fight with the Huns, whether it is a family feud or a national hatred, in short, the old marquis hates the Huns to the core, how can he help the Huns survive the winter.

This war was originally started by the Huns themselves, and their reason for launching it was to take the border city. This war was fought from spring to the armistice before the beginning of winter, and the Huns increased the burden on the country because of the war.

Now that they naturally have no food and grass for the winter, they want to continue to wage war, and they don't want to think about how unfavorable this shape is for them. How could that stupid grandson of his own have such a merciful heart, and to be merciful to his enemies is to be cruel to himself.

In fact, the reason why Mo Li wrote this excerpt was that he expected that the King of the Huns would figure it out and eventually cooperate with him. Sure enough, before handing out the border city, the king of the Huns personally made an appointment to meet Mo Li.

The king of the Huns felt that the war had dragged on for too long. Within a year of the entire Xiongnu Kingdom, it was supplying the needs of the army.

This also leads to the fact that the people have no meat at all, and can be made into jerky and stored. There is not much time to collect hay and store it for the livestock to eat in the winter.

Because in the past year, all the Huns have been desperately fattening cattle and sheep for the warriors in front of them.

And often a year's hard work is all given to this war. This also made the king of the Xiongnu clearly realize that the Huns were not suitable for long-term warfare at all, and there was no surplus grain and grass for the next year to start a war with the Central Plains.

Unless you have a good rest for a few years. At least let the Huns be like the Central Plains, winter will not be a nightmare, it will not be a disaster. Don't be afraid of not having food in winter, you will freeze to death in winter.

At this time, he can compete with the Central Plains people, otherwise he can only be defeated in the hands of the Mo family army again and again. It's not because the warriors of the Huns can't do it, but because the national strength can't support the war.

It is impossible to defeat the Central Plains people. Let the entire people of the Xiongnu kingdom starve to death. When the time comes, there will be no more people. Even if the Mo family army is really defeated, what is the point of entering the border city?

Therefore, the king of Hun ignored the opposition of the main battle faction and directly cooperated with the Central Plains, just to live a life without worrying about eating and drinking.

If you want to defeat the Central Plains, you don't rely entirely on force, and the strength of the Xiongnu itself is also very important. Anyway, the people of the Central Plains can do it. The Huns will only do better. Isn't it just growing grain, isn't it weaving your own cloth? What's so hard about that!

Mo Li proposed to the Xiongnu king to exchange goods with each other. And asked the people of Nangong to teach the Huns to farm and weave.

These conditions were proposed by Mo Li on his own initiative before, so Mo Li directly agreed. However, Mo Li also put forward his own conditions, that is, during the period when the armistice between the two countries was maintained, the Mo family army had the same rights and obligations as the king of the Huns, and guaranteed that no accidents would occur.

If one party violates the rules, for whatever reason, for any reason. The other party may unconditionally terminate the agreement without any resentment on the part of the other party.

This article was proposed by Mo Li, and it was also after the last time the Huns mixed into the border city to grab food and rob women, Mo Li strongly realized that no matter how tight his defense was, there would eventually be loopholes, and he really wanted the Hun King to restrain his people.

The king of the Xiongnu understood that now the Xiongnu had to ask for food, and exchanged grain for more food, as well as those furs for thick cotton and clothes, which were really needed by the people.

If they don't starve to death, they won't freeze to death, they will definitely not take the risk of going to the border city to grab things, the dozen or so Huns who hung on the border city before have already made the Huns have a sense of fear,

Of course, it also made the Huns hate the Nangong people even more. But this matter was the fault of the Huns, who ran to other people's cities to grab things, and let people catch them, so they could only let them fall.

Mo Li's conditions were immediately accepted by the King of the Huns and made a guarantee. Mo Li is very satisfied with this, now that the general direction has been decided, the next step is to discuss the details. If the details can be discussed, he needs to convince the emperor and convince his grandfather to support his decision.

The excerpt that happened to be handed to the capital in front of it was all a wake-up call, so that the emperor and grandfather had to take a good look at these problems.

However, Mo Li is not very optimistic about the decision of the capital, and with his grandfather's temperament, he will not agree to help the Huns. And the emperor, Mo Li doesn't have much chance of winning. However, to help the Huns in public and private, Mo Li is decided.

After the two parties negotiated, Mo Li and the king of the Huns began to discuss the details. For the exchange of goods, the great opportunity of mutual benefit, Mo Li has long talked with the merchants in the border city, and the merchants are more interested in the exchange of goods.

The beef and mutton of the Huns were delicious and very popular with rich people or dignitaries from all over the world. Of course, the most important thing is the fur of the Huns, and only in the hands of the Huns can they receive genuine good skins.

And if these skins are transported to the capital, or if they are not transported to the south of the Yangtze River, they can earn more than ten times the silver!

Moreover, the Huns also produced gems, and the Huns could not eat or drink those gems, but they loved the ladies of the capital very much.

Because the gemstones are gorgeous and can be made into jewelry, the ladies are vying to buy them. These gems often cost dozens of taels of silver in the border city, and when they go to the capital to transfer talents, it is hundreds of taels.

A few thousand taels of silver. Therefore, when the merchants heard that the Xiongnu and the border city were going to open a market for mutual benefit, they were excited! It's all silver!

This is why there will be a large number of merchants in the border cities, and there will also be a black market, and these merchants will do business with the Huns in private.

However, because it is a black market, there is no guarantee, but even under the premise of no guarantee, there are still a large number of Huns who trade with black merchants.

And Mo Li wants to open a market with the Huns, and the biggest premise is safety. And most importantly, there must be a safe venue. The natural site is chosen at the gate of the city,

Moreover, it is guarded by armies from both sides, and it is not allowed to rob things, or exchange things at an unequal price, or unreasonable exchange.

In this way, the interests of the merchants of the Central Plains can be safeguarded, and the Huns can be exchanged for more food and supplies. And to implement these things, it is necessary to consult with businessmen, so that businessmen can better understand the market. (To be continued......)
