Chapter 162: Wool, Beef Cattle, and the Mutual Market

"I've heard that the wool on the grassland is sheared and burned as waste, but in fact...... I'm quite interested in them. ”

"Wool!"

Murong was stunned.

Some couldn't laugh or cry.

Ye Qing is right, this thing is indeed useless waste.

Whenever the grassland weather warms up, the herdsmen have to shear the sheep, so that the sheep can cool down and have a comfortable summer.

The second is that the sheep are cool and comfortable, and they will grow faster and fatter.

So when the weather is hot, it is the heavy task of shearing wool on the grassland.

But the wool thing is useless, it stinks, and it can't be eaten or used.

Throwing it on the grassland to occupy a place, and covering the grassland, affects the growth of forage, and is not conducive to water and soil.

So the best thing to do is to burn it with a fire.

"Your Highness, do you want that?" Murong Cheng asked with a deep curiosity:

"Your Highness, what are you doing with it?"

Ye Qing smiled mysteriously: "The southeast of my Great Zhou is Chu Yue Country, and the southeast of Chu Yue Country is the overseas islands, I heard from the traveling merchants that those island people have never seen sheep and don't know what sheep are, they are very interested in this wool and are willing to spend money to buy it, so I want to get a batch of high-quality wool wool and wipe it to see if I can do business with overseas island countries." ”

"I see, that's really something to wipe off." Murong Cheng had such an expression at this time.

The feeling is that Ye Qing has found a business route.

Overseas islanders are unheard of, they have never even seen sheep, and they are interested in wool.

It's a big world, and there's so much about it.

As a businessman, Murong Cheng knew that this business could only generate value by relying on the south to the north, and the east and the west.

What is useless on one side is desperately needed on the other.

In this way, you can make a profit.

So there is no deep doubt.

On the contrary, I really hope that Ye Qing can continue this business.

Wool, the prairie is never lacking, how much to have.

Anyway, it's useless waste, which can be exchanged for some money.

It is also a measure to fill the finances of the Great Turks.

"Since His Highness needs it, Murong is duty-bound, and he will definitely complete this matter and collect enough wool for His Highness." Murong Cheng patted his chest and said very confidently.

As for the wool, he can get as much as he wants, but he is afraid that Ye Qing will not be able to eat it.

"Good, good! I knew that I didn't see the wrong person, Brother Murong is really my confidant and sibling, and he should be revealed! Ye Qing waved his hand with great joy and said:

"Come and serve wine, today I want to get drunk with Brother Murong, feast, kill cattle for me, I want to treat Brother Murong with beef!"

Murong Cheng was also happy in his heart, and the smile on his face was also sincere from inside and outside, and he hurriedly said:

"Your Highness treats you with sincerity, and Murong is flattered, but I am forbidden to kill ploughing cattle in Da Zhou, and I ask Your Highness to withdraw the order, otherwise it will be used by people with intentions because of the spread of this matter, slandering His Highness's prestige, and bringing confusion to His Highness, which is Murong's fault."

Ye Qing shook his head and said: "Brother Murong Cheng doesn't have to be like this, rest assured that we are not killing a ploughing cattle, we are killing a beef cattle brought back from the north, this cattle is a reward from His Majesty, and it is not in the way, Brother Murong can enjoy it." ”

"I see, then Murong is disrespectful." Only then did Murong Fu understand, and he thought that Ye Qing dared to break the taboo for him.

It turned out that it was the captured spoils of the Northern Expedition.

In the pursuit of Gaonu City, the Great Zhou won first and then lost, and captured a lot of Turkic grain and grass.

This cow and sheep are one of them.

However, the Turkic cattle are not the same as the cattle of the Great Zhou.

Da Zhou is a ploughing ox, which can work in the field.

The imperial court had a strict ban on slaughtering privately.

Even if they are sick or disabled, they need to go to the official record, and the government will buy them back and sell them according to law.

The Turkic cattle are another breed that has lived in the steppe since childhood, has no constraints, cannot be domesticated, and cannot help plough the land, so it is used for food.

Eating Turkic cattle will naturally not be held accountable.

It's not a ban.

"Hey! It's a pity that there are not many cows, and there is no more after eating, so delicious can not be eaten every day, can not be shared with the world, it is a pity! Ye Qing's words turned around and became melancholy and regretful.

Murong Cheng answered: "Your Highness likes to eat beef, why is it difficult, as long as Your Highness needs it, I can turn around on your behalf and get grassland cattle for Your Highness." ”

"Oh! That's great, I know that Brother Murong is the best friend and closest brother of my Xiaoyao Mansion. Ye Qing liked it when he heard this.

Murong Cheng saw that Ye Qing was full of interest, so he also changed his words and lamented: "It's just that the cattle are easy to handle, but they are not easy to enter the customs, and His Royal Highness also knows that in this steppe land such as my Great Zhou and the Turks, the border is tense, and the ban on commerce is seriously ......."

Speaking of this, Murong Cheng didn't continue to speak, hanging Ye Qing and letting Ye Qing beg him.

In this way, the border trade embargo can be further opened.

so as not to appear abrupt and obviously deliberate.

The snowflake salt and wool mentioned by Ye Qing earlier require large-scale transactions, and it is difficult to carry out large-scale activities without opening an opening at the border.

Murong Ying wanted to tear apart the trade wall of the Great Zhou against the Turks from Ye Qing.

"The problem you mentioned is really a big problem, and it is indeed a bit difficult to do!" Ye Qing pretended to think about it, and after thinking for a moment, he said:

"Actually, I think that my Da Zhou and the Turks can be properly relaxed, the two countries just have to fight for survival, if we can establish a mutual market of commerce and trade, everyone can establish a foundation of trust, maybe the two countries can coexist peacefully in the future, everyone is safe."

Murong was stunned, he didn't expect Ye Qing to say such a thing.

It's to make him feel good.

The Turks have been fighting with the Great Zhou for hundreds of years, and they have a deep enmity with each other, how can it be so easy to coexist peacefully and peacefully.

Ye Qing was too naΓ―ve.

However, Murong Cheng was a little moved by what Ye Qing said.

Because Da Zhou can not trade with the Turks, the Turks do not have what Da Zhou needs.

But the Great Zhou did have a lot of things that the Turks needed.

If they can exchange markets, it will definitely be of great benefit to the Turks.

However, Murong Cheng sighed without leaving a trace: "Your Highness, I'm afraid this matter is extremely difficult, not to mention whether the Turks will agree, even the officials of my Great Zhou will not agree, after all, the Turks don't have what my Great Zhou needs?"

If there is no entanglement of interests, who dares to mention the mutual market, why is it in the mutual market? ”

"No, no, no, Brother Murong, you're wrong, who said that the Turks don't have what I need in Da Zhou." Ye Qing shook his head and said:

"I need horses in my Great Zhou, the Turks have good horses, isn't this what I need in the Great Zhou, the Turks still have wool, I need wool in the Great Zhou, the Turks also have the unique medicinal materials and leather of the grassland, these are all needed in the Great Zhou, and the cattle that I eat are ...... Such a delicious thing is what I need in my big week! ”

Burst!

Murong Cheng felt that Ye Qing's words were a bit ridiculous.

Horses are indeed needed by Da Zhou, but I, the Turks, are not stupid, they will only be sold in limited quantities, and the price is high, how much can you buy in Da Zhou.

As for wool and beef cattle, you want it, and where is Da Zhou want.

However, medicinal materials and leather are really loved by the Great Zhou and the empires of the Central Plains, but they are not necessary.

Soon the stewed beef was served, and then with good wine, Ye Qing chatted with Murong Cheng again.

In the end, the two of them drank a little high, and their tongues were a little tired, Ye Qing patted Murong Cheng's shoulder and said:

"Brother Murong, it's up to you whether you can make a fortune, Xuehua salt will be sold to the grassland for me, wool will also be vigorously purchased for me, and there will be as many beef cattle as you want, I will let Your Majesty, let the officials eat such delicious things, and I don't have to worry that Your Majesty and the officials will not agree to trade with the ......Turks."

"You are not only shouldering the plan to make a fortune, but also the eternal responsibility of our peaceful coexistence with the Turks and the Turks, and eternal peace, you know it...... After you drip back, work hard......"
