Chapter 17 Canned Meat
With this idea in mind, the leaders of these tribes, as soon as spring came, hurriedly brought their tribesmen and a large number of cattle and sheep, as well as stockpiled wool, skins and other items to Tiebi Pass to exchange.
When I arrived at the place, I found that the Northwest Duke of Dachu was ready, not only made a large number of acquisitions, but also built a city of mountains and seas for these grassland tribes. In this way, they don't have to work hard to drive the cattle and sheep along the mountain trails in Tiebi Pass. Although this majestic city is under construction, you can already get a glimpse of its majesty and magnificence.
There are already businesses living in the city, and there is a large market. Everyone's stuff is traded here, and the price is transparent and very fair. The leaders of these tribes are busy selling their things, for fear that it will be too late, Da Chu has already finished buying, and if they don't need it, they will smash it. Otherwise, the grain prepared by Da Chu has been replaced, and if there is no food to change, it will be a loss. As for the silver, the tribal leaders are not worried about this, the wealth of Dachu is known to the world, and there will be no silver.
However, these tribal leaders don't all ask for silver. In their view, food is more important than silver. After all, with food, more people can be fed, and the tribe can be stronger. Food is something that everyone lacks. In fact, in the past, Da Chu was often short of food. Therefore, this time, everyone was still surprised that Da Chu was able to take out the grain and trade it.
In the end, these leaders who are not good at conspiracy, speculation, and strategy don't want to guess, no matter what crazy this northwest prince of Dachu is, as long as he dares to sell grain. I dare to change it, even if it is a hammer deal, if I change this trip, they don't change it, and I have to fight for more to not suffer a loss. Therefore, they all thought in their hearts that if they sold as much livestock as possible, they could buy as much grain as possible.
However, these leaders regretted to find that all the leaders thought so. All of a sudden, tribes from near and far in Shanhai City rushed to trade. Now. These leaders have no confidence in their hearts. With so much meat, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, how much can Da Chu want?
With so many tribes having to buy grain, how much grain can the Northwest Duke of Dachu prepare? How much can you sell to everyone? They were beating drums in their hearts. While hurrying to trade.
The deal is done. All the food that is due has been given. The skins and cattle that should have been sold were sold, and the money that had been exchanged was in hand. They are also not busy walking. First, they had to use the money to buy some goods in the city. Second, they wanted to see how long this trade could last, if there was an unlucky tribe who came late, sold nothing, and got nothing.
However, what made them wonder was that there were tribes from afar coming every day, and there were transactions every day, and even fast tribes came to trade twice. However, the Northwest Duke of Great Chu is still open to collecting livestock, and grain is still open to trading.
It seems that Da Chu is really as they advertised, and everyone is welcome to trade at any time. Preferably, it will be so traded in the future. Da Chu can eat it.
This made the leaders wonder. At this time, it may be that these emotions of the tribes are perceived. The wife of the Duke of Northwest, the county lord of Dachu, Wen Hui, came forward to invite everyone to a meal.
At this meal, Lord Wen Hui showed everyone a new thing, which was placed in a glass jar, which was very beautiful. Although this glass jar is not as good as the glass in the glass corridor of Lord Wenhui's house, the clarity is high, but the shape is still very good-looking. It's just that because the clarity is not high, I can't see what is inside.
The county lord of Wenhui sent someone to open it, and everyone saw that this one contained all kinds of cooked meat. There is beef, there is mutton, there is braised meat, there is steamed, and there is boiled.
Lord Wenhui told everyone that this is called canned food. After the meat is processed, put it in this can, seal it, and it can be stored for several months without spoiling, and it is easy to eat.
These canned foods have now been sold to the mainland of Dachu. It's very popular there. The sales volume is huge. Therefore, everyone can go back to grazing with confidence, no matter how many livestock they have, the canning processing workshops in Tiebiguan and Shanhai City can process these livestock into canned food, and finally sell them to the interior of Dachu.
The inland land of Dachu is vast and populous, and there is a lack of meat, and more or less can be sold.
As soon as they said this, these leaders understood why Da Chu was so open to acquisitions. Also, why, the weather is already hot, and Da Chu is still so open to acquisition.
The first question is solved, these leaders are bold. They took the opportunity to ask, why is there so much grain in the Iron Wall Pass of Dachu, is it possible that this year is a bumper harvest year in Dachu?
Regarding this question, Chen Wenhui has long known that these tribes will ask. Chen Wenhui told everyone that now Dachu has more than a dozen newly built cities in Nanyang. That place in the South Seas is different from the bitter cold region in the northwest. The weather is hot there, and the crops can be harvested twice a year, or even three times a year. Therefore, there is abundant grain there, and if you can't eat it yourself, you sell it to Dachu.
It just so happened that these cities were under the jurisdiction of the county lord of Wenhui, and the official position of the county lord of Wenhui was still sealed when he was the emperor, that is, the governor of Nanyang. Therefore, the county lord of Wenhui transferred the grain in his territory to the northwest. That's not just how much or how much. Therefore, the county lord of Wen Hui assured everyone that as long as everyone had silver, furs, and livestock exchange, they could have as much grain as they wanted.
These two pieces of news were explosive, and they blew up these tribal leaders at once.
What does this mean? Is this really Da Chu going to trade with the tribes on the grassland? However, these leaders also knew in their hearts that Da Chu wanted to use these means and trade to firmly tie these tribes to Da Chu.
However, there is nothing wrong with people doing this. This place in the grassland is about who has the big fist and who listens. In the past, when the barbarians were there, everyone couldn't defeat the barbarians, and everyone was bullied by them for thousands of years and ruled for thousands of years. Now the barbarians have been defeated by Da Chu. According to the rules of the steppe, whoever defeats the barbarians can receive the barbarians' chassis. This grassland used to be barbarian, and if Da Chu defeated the barbarians, then this grassland is Da Chu's.
Everyone understands this truth, though. However, the tribes of the steppe actually looked down on the Great Chu people. Because the Great Chu people are agricultural and civilized, they can't graze herd, they can only farm. How did the farmer go to the steppe to rule over these tribes? Do they know how to herd? Can they adapt to the climate of the steppe?
Therefore, these grassland tribes, especially several large tribes, see this opportunity as their own. Although Da Chu defeated the grassland, they couldn't govern it, and in the end, this grassland still had to be ruled by the people on the grassland, so which tribe would rise? The five tribes on the steppe are all secretly pinning their heads.
However, none of them thought that Da Chu would trade with them. From this point of view, Da Chu is really going to manage this area. This made the tribes sitting here feel uncomfortable. But who can refuse the benefits of trade?
Just when everyone was silent, Chen Wenhui announced two more things. The first thing is that Shanhai City is under construction, but there are already houses that have been built. There are already merchants from Da Chu who have bought it here. Most of these merchants of Da Chu bought shops, warehouses and the like in Shanhai City. There are also many merchants in Dachu who are optimistic about the development of Shanhai City, buy the land, and hire a construction team to build luxurious and beautiful houses for them.
Now, Chen Wenhui is also extending an invitation to the tribal leaders of the grassland. If they are also optimistic about the development of Shanhai City, they can also buy shops, warehouses, and build houses here. All you need to do is take the money. Regardless of identity.
When I said this, everyone couldn't sit still. The benefits of the Shanhai City transaction have been seen by everyone in the past few months. In fact, there are many special products in the tribe, such as some dairy products, such as some ores, and even if there are no these, each tribe also has livestock, and there are large amounts of fur that have been piled up for a long time.
If there is a warehouse or a store, it is indeed good for the tribe. There are also some tribal leaders who like to enjoy, and they have long been shocked by the luxury, luxury, and beauty of the county lord's mansion, and dream of having such a beautiful residence in Shanhai City. Even if it can't be as luxurious and huge as the Mansion of the County Lord of Wenhui, it's okay, at least it's much better than the tent he lives in all the year round.
The leaders of these steppe tribes couldn't help but talk to each other, the silver tickets they had traded before were still lying in their arms, and it would be a wonderful thing if these silver tickets could be exchanged for opportunities for the future development of the tribe, or for a life that could be used for their own luxury and enjoyment.
After saying this, Chen Wenhui said the second thing lightly. That is, in the autumn and winter of the previous year, when the Northwest Duke and his wife first came to Tiebi Pass, they had sent the Northwest Army to various tribes to inform them to come to trade. Most of the tribes came. So, today, everyone is gathered together. However, there were still a few tribes who not only did not come, but also spoke out in a disrespectful manner. Then, the Northwest Duke began to take the Northwest Army to fight in this spring, and those tribes had been annihilated and captured by the Northwest Army led by Zhao Chongyi. The territory was given to several tribes next to it that were friendly with Da Chu.
In this way, everyone can still know that by following Da Chu, you can get silver, grain, porcelain, silk, salt, tea, mansions, and future development opportunities for the tribe. Against Da Chu, there is nothing to say, and it will be destroyed directly.
At this time, everyone remembered that the Great Chu in front of them was a military power that even the barbarians could defeat. Everyone was shocked, especially the leaders of the five big tribes, you look at me, I look at you, and they are silent. (To be continued......)
PS: Thank you for the two monthly tickets obediently of the rabbit, and thank you for the reward of the scarlet.
