Chapter 1310: The Second Silk Road

On the one hand, there are miserable and miserable Xiongnu tribesmen, people who are still bleeding, cattle and sheep who are still screaming, and the gloomy appearance, and on the other hand, there are soldiers who are happily roasting and eating the unfortunate death of injured and incurable beef and mutton.

"General......

Yu Fuluo stood in front of Fei Qian, and he really didn't know what to say for a while.

Speaking of the friendship between Fei Qian and Yu Fuluo, in fact, it has always been changing, at first Yu Fu Luo still had some psychological advantages, and as time went by, such psychological advantages gradually shrank, and now not only does not have any so-called advantages, but is a little afraid of Fei Qian's majesty and bearing......

Fei Qian smiled, pointed to the side, and said, "What's wrong?" Something? Come, sit. ”

At this time, there was naturally a momentum in the words of General Fei Qian, although the words faintly revealed the attitude of the superior to the inferior, but Yu Fuluo did not dare to have the slightest dissatisfaction, and hurriedly sat down on the side.

"A certain and Shan Yu are brothers...... "Fei Qian opened his mouth and said, these official words, basically do not need to make any drafts, "Since it is brotherly love, it is natural to help each other, what difficulties does Shan Yu have, you might as well say bluntly, someone who can help will naturally help, never stingy, Shan Yu can ......rest assured" Of course, if you feel that you can't help, there is no way.

When Yu Fuluo heard this, he was naturally greatly moved, and said with a salute on his chest: "The general is affectionate and friendly, and Xiao Wang will never forget!" Alas...... Now in the royal court, such a catastrophe really makes me ashamed of my clansmen...... At present, the people of the royal court are short of food and clothing, and the general ...... Can the general support a batch of supplies to tide over the current difficulties......"

Oh, is it the fate that is coming?

Fei Qian smiled, and said without hitting a single one: "Do you need supplies alone?" There is no problem, go back and ask Yongyuan to contact you...... "Yu Fuluo wants to take it for nothing, he must not even think about it, Cui Hou, as the person in charge of the caravan on the eastern and northern routes, and the person who has been in contact with Yu Fuluo since the beginning, naturally understands the meaning of Fei Qian, and when the time comes, what price it should be is what the price is, at most it will be a small discount if the amount is large."

Yu Fuluo was stunned for a moment, blinked, and said, "Let Cui Yongyuan come?" This one...... General, you see, the royal court is already like this now, little Wang...... I really don't have anything on hand, can I ...... Can you ......?"

"On credit?" Fei Qian said, and then said very generously, "Look at what you said, what is this, no problem!" But the amount can't be too big, after all, the business is all about turnover, as the saying goes, there is a loan and a repayment, and then it is not difficult to borrow...... "Anyway, in the Han Dynasty, in fact, many times are traded on credit, even the folk farmers sometimes have no money, they are all borrowed or credit, and then repaid when they have money."

"Credit...... Credit...... Alas......" Yu Fuluo glared, sighed for a long time, and said, "Okay, let's take credit......"

Fei Qian smiled slightly, nodded, and then in front of Yu Fuluo, he ordered someone to send an order to go to Xihe to find Cui Hou here.

For the foreign races who come around to worship or pay tribute, in the Han Dynasty there is still some equivalent exchange, and in the later feudal dynasties, it seems that it is not more than ten times a hundred times to give out, as if it is a shameful thing, and even to the heaven and earth of the universe to unify Jiangshan in the Qing Dynasty, there are people who specially hire foreigners, fake some messy so-called national letters, and go to the capital to do this business, it can be said that it is not an exaggeration.

"Hey, business is business." Fei Qian smiled and waved his hand and said, "No matter whether the business is successful or not, there is always a friendship with Shan Yu, so I will sponsor Shan Yu with some funds in my personal name...... Zichu, take a certain money bag! ”

Huang Xu took the order, took out a cowhide bag from his bag, and handed it to Yu Fuluo's hand.

Fei Qian motioned for Yu Furo to open it and look at it.

"This is ......" Yu Fuluo opened it and couldn't help but be stunned, only to see some gold and silver Zhengxi Tongbao in the money bag, which was exuding a pleasing brilliance, "This ...... What kind of 'sponsorship' is this? ”

Fei Qian looked up to the sky and smiled, and then said, "Of course it's more than that!" Shan Yu, these Tongbao are just a partner...... Shan Yu, I don't know if you have heard a sentence called 'Linyuan envy fish is better to retreat and close the net'? ”

"I seem to have heard that the general means ......" Yu Furo nodded, then lowered his head to look at Tongbao, and said, "These are 'retreat and netting'?" ”

"Exactly!" Fei Qian clapped his hands and praised, "Shan Yu is really smart!" Just think about it, if you and my soldiers are used to eating for nothing, will anyone be willing to fight on the battlefield? Shan Yu thinks about it again, when I came to the north before, compared with Shan Yu's current situation, how much better can I go? Also, Bai Shiqiang's current situation, Shan Yu hasn't heard of it, right? ”

"Well......" Yu Fuluo originally felt that Fei Qian threw out these treasures, which seemed to be a little insulting, and he was a little unhappy in his heart, but after listening to Fei Qian's words, he frowned, blinked, pondered for a while, and seemed to feel that what Fei Qian said was also somewhat reasonable.

Back then, Feiqian's strength may not have been so good or strong, but now it ......

"The general is saying that he is willing to teach me this 'method of fishing'?" Yuvro said tentatively.

Fei Qian nodded very seriously, then waved his hand and retreated.

Yu Fuluo also immediately sat up straight with a solemn expression, and also ordered his own guards to stand farther away.

"Shan Yu, can you know, what is business?" Fei Qian said slowly, "Can you know that the reason why Huaxia is Huaxia is born from business, and it starts because of business?" One of the earliest dynasties in China, called the Shang Dynasty? ”

"This ......" Yu Fuluo's eyes widened, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with Fei Qian's grammar of "one of the most" that later generations were accustomed to, but he was immersed in Fei Qian's words, hoping that Fei Qian could say it more clearly, "The general means ......"

"I mean, Shan Yu is sitting in the middle of the treasure mountain and doesn't know it......" Fei Qian smiled slightly, with a confident smile of a life mentor.

"Baoshan?" Juvro repeated.

Fei Qian nodded and said: "Bai Shiqiang, Shan Yu knows, now people drink mare's milk wine, drink a bowl and pour a bowl, eat beef and sheep barbecue, eat one, look at one...... Why, rich! Why is there money, trade! Although the big man is big, he needs a lot of things, especially those who don't have it...... Just flowers and plants, all of them, and they are all money! ”

"Do you want flowers and plants?" Yu Furo subconsciously looked to the ground.

"Of course, it's not just random flowers and plants...... Fei Qian smiled, "There is a kind of flower, called cotton, I don't know what those tribes or small countries in the west call it, it's as white as snow, as wool as wool, it's very beautiful, cough cough, no way, our emperor likes it, so those of us who are courtiers naturally like it...... There is also a kind of grass called alfalfa grass, the leaves are flattened, like a heart, or oblate, most of them are three leaves together, and legend has it that if you can see four leaves growing on one stem at the same time, you can get the help of the god of luck and can make your wishes come true...... As far as you know, we Han people still believe in this......"

"Shan Yu you see ......" Fei Qian looked at Yu Fuluo and nodded ignorantly, and continued to indoctricate, "Bai Shiqiang has only a few people, how far has he gone to the west, and soon he sells some cattle and sheep skins and furs, and some fruits and drinks that the big men don't have, they are already very rich, and Shan Yu has so many subordinates now, if you find some things that the big men need, you can not only exchange for materials to restore the royal court, but also make a fortune, and even ...... Hehe...... Besides, Shan Yu didn't want to track down where the renegade Great Elder had fled? Is this a multi-pronged thing, does it mean that you just sit in the treasure mountain at the moment and don't know it? ”

"This ......" Yu Fuluo pondered for a while, although he knew in his heart that all of what Fei Qian said might not be true, and it was impossible for all of them to be beneficial to the Huns as Fei Qian described, but there were some other things hidden in it, but the problem was that what Fei Qian said was also true, Bai Shiqiang had indeed become a lot richer in the past two years, and even the complexions of ordinary people seemed to be ruddy, and he really needed to investigate the situation in the west and north, to track down the damn great elder who had fled, If you can find something by the way, you can exchange it for supplies......

"But...... The west and north sides are mostly deserts, and I'm afraid there is nothing to ......" Yu Fuluo is now a little smarter and knows how to bargain, "I'm afraid that what I find will be said by the general when the time comes...... Besides, the general needs it too, so why not find it yourself? ”

"How do you know I didn't send someone?" Fei Qian smiled, as if he said casually, but Yu Fuluo suddenly changed color a little, "I have already sent someone out...... Have you ever drunk wine from the West? It's inconvenient this time, so next time I will ask someone to bring some to Shan Yu...... As for things, everyone is an adult, and everyone doesn't know if it's valuable? It's like ......"

Fei Qian picked up a stone from the ground at random, and then said: "For example, this stone, I said that it is very precious, it was accidentally dropped by the heavenly immortals, do you believe it?" Isn't that the end of it? What is useful is useful, and no matter how good it sounds, it is still useless, right, Shan Yu? ”

Yu Fuluo nodded subconsciously, as if he felt that something was wrong, but he just didn't know what was wrong with Fei Qian's words.

Fei Qian smiled slightly, looked at Yu Fuluo, and thought to himself, when I won the title of the best debater in college, it was a void? What is the concept of stealing? What is taken out of context?

"Baishiqiang takes the road of the Hexi Corridor, Shan Yu can also go, but Shan Yu also has a road here, which Baishiqiang does not have......" Fei Qian took the stone in his hand, scratched the ground at random, and said, "My people reported that from here, along the western mountain range through this desert, and then there are several mountain ranges, and some tribes, and even through these distant mountain ranges, you can reach a place where most of the places are plains, and the boundless is where the grasslands are......"

What Fei Qian painted is the route that later generations called the Steppe Silk Road, and it is also the second Silk Road connecting the East and the West by land.

The Steppe Silk Road refers to the trade channel connecting the Eurasian continent from the Mongolian steppe zone, and after crossing the Yinshan and Yanshan areas, along the Great Wall, to the northwest through the Mongolian Plateau and the northern part of Central and Western Asia, you can directly reach the Mediterranean Europe.

Compared with the Silk Road in the traditional sense of the Hexi Corridor, the grassland Silk Road is more widely distributed, as long as there are water and grass, there is a road to go, so the route of the grassland Silk Road often changes with the times, not static, of course, the difficulty of walking is also greater, but the problem is that the Hu people are naturally adapted to this long-term migration, and they are naturally more adaptable than the Han people.

Besides, the vegetation at this stage of the Han Dynasty was not so damaged, and there were many more oases in the desert than in later generations, and the Jin merchants in later generations were still able to walk in a more demanding environment, so there is no reason why the Huns at this stage could not go......

Fei Qian looked at Yu Fuluo's eyes wide, as if he wanted to memorize the route on the ground firmly, he deliberately waited, and felt that it was almost time before he wiped it with his feet, swept away the traces, and said: "If Shan Yu is intentional, I can let people prepare some equipment and materials for long-distance travel first, even if it is given to Shan Yu on credit, according to the cost price...... Brothers belong to brothers, and business belongs to business...... When the time comes, just if you find good things, you will naturally earn back hundreds of thousands...... Even if you don't have any special good things, just think about it, did you accumulate a lot of dried meat or something back then? Those tribes in the west, how many years have not had a caravan passed? Decade? Twenty years? Or even longer? After so many years, how much skin have you to accumulate? Think about the time when a clay pot ...... A copper kettle...... Even a little tea brick...... How many things can be exchanged? How many skins can be exchanged? Shan Yu thought about it again, if Shan Yu had what these tribes wanted, would they still choose to cooperate with the defected Great Elder? When the time comes, maybe someone will directly exchange the head of your defected Great Elder for something...... Haha, anyway, everyone is a brother, and they will never let the price be at a loss......"

As Fei Qian described, Yu Fuluo's eyes lit up a little.

That's right, when there was no Fei Qian to open a trade, many of the skins of the Huns were watched a little bit of mold and rot, and then became a pile of waste that no one wanted, and those tribes who had not had a caravan for many years, wouldn't there be as many skins in them as if they were picked up for nothing?

Just like what the general of Zhengxi Fei Qian said, bring some Han utensils, and then even if you don't find any special flowers and plants, but as far as those skins are concerned, they can still be regarded as a million profits!

And crucially, maybe more tribes can be gathered, and when the time comes......

"Good! That's it! Yuvro made up his mind and agreed. Yu Fu Luo thinks that he can do this!

For a while, Fei Qian and Yu Fuluo both laughed, but in the laughter, what was hidden, who could benefit in the end, and who could have the last laugh, was unknown......
