At this moment, everyone understood, and began to look at the two brothers who became nouveau riche in an instant with envy, jealousy, and hatred.

The younger brother, who was still crying bitterly just now, immediately held on to the bow, and the sharp arrow gently glided over his rough skin, giving him a feeling better than the caress of a lover.

When the elder brother had already understood, he began to search around the room with the fur in his arms, looking at all kinds of items on the walls and shelves.

It is very painful to choose half a day among the dazzling items, (in fact, there is nothing special, you can imagine the supply and marketing cooperatives in the early days of reform and opening up, or hardware and grocery stores.) But in the Heilongjiang River basin in this era, it is very remarkable. This is a good thing, and that is necessary, but there is a limit to what you can exchange for.

Gritting his teeth, the elder brother pointed to a spear on the shelf and motioned for the man to take it and see it for himself.

Compared with the spears made of Jiannu wrought iron that the Sauronians had seen, this "steel" spear was much stronger in terms of sharpness, length, weight, and toughness.

The Sauron man jumped into the open space outside the house, and danced his spear from side to side, although there were no rules and moves, but because of his natural strength, he struggled in the harsh environment every day, and every move and every movement was the experience of fighting between life and death, which made the guys of the business very admirable.

After dancing, feeling very close together, the Sauron man consciously ran to the guy in charge of the big scale with a pile of fur in his arms, and asked for the spear to be weighed.

The actions of the brothers gave the leaders a simple and straightforward explanation.

The owner of the Han caravan could exchange the heads of the Rakshasas for any goodies. You can use the weight of the head to offset the weight of the goods, if you have a head and are not willing to deduct the weight of the goods, you can use the so-called "6% off" price to buy the qiē items you like, you want.

Several of the leaders wept and regretted why the Rakshasas didn't go to the village they had gathered last summer. If you are beheaded by a warrior in your own village, then you can't enjoy the treatment of a warrior now?

But Bomu Bogol had a look of joy on his face, and ordered someone to go to his sleigh and fetch a basket made of birch bark. There were four or five Rakshasa heads in a mess.

"This is the head that the big boss tribe had beheaded during their battle with the Rakshasas last summer. In order to kill a few Rakshasas, the big boss tribe lost more than a dozen warriors. I wonder what these heads can be exchanged for? ”

After listening to the general words, Lin Wenbing once again showed that harmless smile that looked harmless to humans and animals.

"The big boss is really a warrior, just like Humar Woji Mountain (isn't the place name familiar?) ) on the trees. Able to cut off so many Rakshasa heads. In this way, one-two-three-four-five. Count the one in the hands of the brother above. That's six Rakshasa heads. Because that brother has already changed things, you can't use the Rakshasa head in his hand anymore. But. Five Rakshasa heads, you can choose here for yourself, just like the rules of this brother just now. ”

Looking down and thinking about it, the big boss of Bomu Bogol pointed to the bow and arrows and knives and guns on the wall and asked the men to weigh him.

Then, in the envious eyes of the leaders of the Sauron tribe, the big leaders exchanged furs, bear paws, tiger bones, deer fetuses and antler velvet and other items at extremely low prices for hundreds of arrows, hundreds of catties of salt, dozens of jars of spirits, and dozens of bags of grain.

As for the beautiful cloth that could be used to curry favor with the women of the tribe, the chief was very generous in exchanging all the remaining supplies for cloth, which was to be used to make some new clothes for the women and children of the tribe.

For a while, the warriors of the big boss's headquarters cheered loudly.

But the big and small people weren't happy. His prey is not as much as that of the big boss Bomu Bogol, and now he has the heads of these Rakshasas in exchange for such cheap knives, guns, bows, arrows, salt, and spirits, he has these good things as helpers, this winter, I don't know how much prey he will hunt, will he occupy the hunting grounds of other people's tribes?

In the long run, will the warriors of the tribe defect to his tribe?

Thinking of such a frontal scene, the leaders couldn't help but feel a little cold on their scalps, and bursts of cold sweat broke out on their backs.

It's still Aldi's brain is faster, relying on the earliest friendship with Lin Wenbing, he has the courage to ask Lin Wenbing.

"Your master said that there are two things that can be worth more than Dongzhu tiger bone fur, bear's paw ginseng, deer antler and deer fetus, we knew one just now, so, what is the other one?"

That's right! A small flame of hope reappeared in everyone's eyes, we didn't catch up with the head of this Rakshasa people, but if the owner of the Han caravan said that we have another thing in our hands, wouldn't it be a good thing?

The entire Sauron caravan that came to trade was silent, quietly waiting for Lin Wenbing's reply.

Lin Wenbing called a guy to come closer, and gave a few orders in a low voice, and the guy took the order.

After a while, two men came back with a long wooden stick carrying a white cloth, and slowly unfolded the white cloth in front of the people, and several drawings appeared in front of the people of the Sauron tribe.

In the first picture, a man dressed in fur is clearly dressed as a native of the Heilongjiang River Valley, and his identity can be clearly identified from the bow on his back and the wooden spear in his hand. The man was fighting with Jiannu, who had a money rat-tail whip on his head, and the spear in his hand pierced between Najiannu's chest and abdomen, and blood flowed down the shaft of the spear. I have to say that this painting is very ordinary, and from an artistic point of view, it is worthless, but from the point of view of explanation, it is clear at a glance, especially these Sauron tribesmen who have no words and do not even know how to count.

The second picture is pleasing to the eye. On the front of the screen, a headless corpse is still bleeding outward, the Sauron who killed Jiannu. He cut off the head of Jiannu and turned to a Han merchant standing behind him to exchange the head for various goods.

Not far away, a group of warriors from all the tribes of Sauron happily walked in this direction with all kinds of human heads, most of them were Jiannu men with money rat tail hair, and there were also some women's heads.

"Everyone, do you understand?!"

Everyone nodded in a trance.

Lin Wenbing gave everyone another boost.

"My master said that the heads of Jiannu, regardless of men, women, and children, can be sent! The heads of two women and children can be on the head of a man, and the heads of two old men can be on the head of a man! Do you understand?! ”

This time. Everyone understands! Originally. Those Jurchens from the south with money rattail pigtails, and fake Jurchens, can be exchanged for so many good things!

However, Bomu Bogol immediately raised a new question.

"Your Excellency. For example, I'm in the Sauron Ministry. There were also those who married with Jiannu. People who are close to each other, should this be considered a member of my Sauron tribe, or a slave? ”

"Jiannu! Of course, it's a slave! ”

After the old slave took control of Liaodong. In addition to attacking the south and west, he set his sights on the north, using military strikes and political appeasement to effectively control the land and population of the region. Successively, the leaders of the Huerha tribe of the East China Sea Department, Nahada, Tunchang Kabai, Goldun and others led their troops to surrender to Shun, and presented famous dogs, red fox skins, white lynx suns, black foxes, yuan foxes, green mouse skins, otter skins, black sables and other products.

After Huang Taiji ascended the throne, there were more Saharcha tribes who lived in the middle reaches of Heilongjiang and produced sable skins, five chiefs including Izana, Sakti, Olika, Kangzhu, and Gajiana in the upper reaches of the Heilongjiang River, four chiefs such as Toenke, Jiang Tuli, Chakmo, and Tuqiu, and Sadaran, the chief of the Huerha tribe in the Songhua River Valley, came to pay tribute and accept official positions.

In the eighth year after Huang Taiji's accession to the throne, that is, the so-called eighth year of Tiancong, the leader of the Sauron tribe, Bardaqi, went to Shenyang to pay tribute and offered 1,818 mink skins in exchange for Huang Taiji marrying his daughter to him. Became the forehead of Jiannu. Under his leadership, the leaders of the Sauron tribe such as Kongchatai, Habai, Wuduhan, and Jingguji went to Shenyang to pay tribute and accept official positions.

And in the eighth year of Tiancong, he sent troops to the Heilongjiang River valley to recruit the so-called disobedient people, and in the Huerha Department Xia surnamed Wuyintun Chang Kabai, Kurmututun Chang Guoerdun and others acted as guides, pointing out rivers, mountains, roads, and walled cities, and the natural military action was extremely smooth. In the spring of the following year, he returned to the nest. 2,483 strong men were plundered and incorporated into the banner households, and more than 7,300 women, including the old and weak, women and children. Eight hundred and fifty-six horses, five hundred and forty-three cattle, and more than 3,140 pieces of precious skins of various kinds were seized.

For a time, the arrogance of the Baldachs rose to the extreme in the Heilongjiang River Valley.

These are naturally things that Bomu Bogol does not want to see.

"What does Mr. Big mean is that even if we cut off the heads of the traitors of the Sauron tribe who belonged to the Qing Dynasty, we can still exchange them for these good things like Jiannu?"

Bomu Bogol blinked his eyes and looked at Lin Wenbing with wolf-like eyes.

"That Jiannu himself is my Ming official, and he doesn't want to serve the country, but instead raises an army. The leaders of the Sauron and Huerha tribes were originally my Ming officials, but they acted as tigers, attached to Jiannu to do evil, and it was not enough to correct people's hearts if they didn't kill! If you kill them, you can get a reward according to my Ming military merit reward. His wife's property, cattle, horses, clothes, weapons, etc., belonged to the meritorious warriors. ”

Regarding the acceptance of the official canonization of the Ming Dynasty by the Huerha Department and the Sauron Department, this can be known from a speech by Ming Yingzong. "Since the beginning of the founding of the country, the women and the barbarians have set up guards and conferred officials, awarded seals, and governed the people." Moreover, during the reign of Emperor Wanli a few decades ago, the tribes in this area often went to Beijing to pay tribute, accept canonization, and ascend the throne. So, it is also appropriate to fasten a traitor's hat on these people.

Then, Lin Wenbing threw out a fat bait again.

He slapped his palms, and a dozen men and guards moved out of the storeroom a dozen straw bales that were tightly wrapped in straw.

The men quickly removed the straw from the bale, revealing the contents of it.

Twenty iron bows and five hundred arrows, fifty spears, and twenty steel knives.

"These are the warriors I lent to the big boss, and you led them to kill those traitors of the Rakshasas, the Saurons, and the Hulha, and after killing those Jiannu. You can take their heads and pay me for them. ”

Give you the weapon first, and then you can take the head and report it to me.

Everyone showed their yellow teeth for Lin Wenbing's generosity, expressing great joy.

However, it was at this time that a discordant event arose.

I don't know which of the chief's subordinates, when they saw that everyone no longer used the concept of volume when exchanging goods, but used the "new" concept of weight, they began to move their hearts. It has to be said that greed and desire have run through the entire history of human development, regardless of the stage of human development.

This hunter, who was still in the primitive clan stage, was such a person.

He excitedly took out four pairs of huge bear paws from his fur backpack. Queue up behind a group of hunters waiting to exchange their furs for items.

His actions were immediately attacked by hunters from various tribes.

"It's a place to collect fur. Your bear's paws are on the side and waiting to go! ”

"Let's go!"

The guy in charge of weighing the fur saw that someone came to weigh it with a bear paw, and he didn't know what to do with it for a while. Before, it was only said that the weight of the fur could be exchanged for the same weight of iron, but how to exchange this bear's paw was something that he, a buddy, did not dare to call the shots.

The hunter was a little unconvinced. In his own words, he quarreled with the hunters of the Sauron tribe. Roughly that means. The Han man didn't say that you can't weigh the bear's paw here, why did you jump out and fight against me? Don't I have fur? My fur is much better and much better than yours!

Those who can hunt black bears with primitive weapons and tools are good hunters among the tribes. The hunter was even more of a leader, as could be seen from the four pairs of Xiongzhou people tied with rattan branches on his shoulders. Therefore, although everyone expressed their dissatisfaction with his strong words, no one dared to step forward to stop him.

"Mr. Big, this can't work! You have to hurry up and set the rules for the trading of all kinds of goods, otherwise someone will hold tiger bones, someone will hold deer fetal antler velvet, and someone will use Dongzhu, I'm afraid it will be here," Aldi, the head man who first dealt with Lin Wenbing, didn't know what words to use to describe the chaotic scene for a while, but Lin Wenbing understood what he meant.

This is the need to develop a standard for the measurement and acquisition of various types of purchased native products.

"How many leaders, what kind of goods do you have in your hands to exchange?"

"Dongzhu. Fur. Tiger bones, bear paws, deer fetal antler velvet, ginseng. ”

The leaders of the various departments are basically these, the difference is that the fur in your hand is a red fox, the sable in my hand, and the black fox in his hand, and the main species are slightly different because of the habitat distribution of these animals.

"Good! It's all good stuff, and they can be exchanged with me. However, there are many kinds of things, and we have to make an agreement to avoid disputes in the future. ”

So, Bomu Bogol, Aldi, Lin Wenbing, as well as the ten tribal chiefs, tun chiefs and other characters, began to discuss the standard and value of exchange in the wooden house, outside the wooden house, the hunters of each department braved the bitter cold to stand in the snow, lest they would change too early, suffer a loss, and fear that they would change late, and there would be no more things they liked.

However, they did not wait long in the snow, and after a while, the huts were opened, and the chief of Bomu Bogol, the head of Ordi, and the head of the ten chiefs ran out excitedly, their faces flushed with excitement, and those who did not know thought how much Han spirits they had drunk in the house.

The big boss of Bomu Bogol jumped excitedly onto the wooden rack where the leather goods were collected, and shouted loudly to his men: "Warriors of the Sauron tribe! I tell you great news! ”

"Me! As the leader of the Sauron Tribe, he agreed with Mr. Lin Da, a Han man, and the leaders of each tribe to exchange the rules for our prey! ”

"The Han people respect warriors, so a pair of bear paws can be exchanged for a weapon, whether it is a sword or an iron bow, and a bow will give you another twenty arrows! Just as many fingers as your hands and feet! One bear bile can be exchanged for ten arrows! ”

"Among the furs, tiger skins and bear skins can be exchanged for one weapon, or twenty arrows!"

"If you don't want to change your weapons, then after weighing a bear's paw, you can exchange it for five times as much food or salt!"

What is five times, the hunters present couldn't turn a corner for a while, and several leaders stepped forward to talk and gesture with their hands, and finally let these rough men roughly understand. It turns out that one finger-heavy bear's paw can be exchanged for five finger-heavy grain and salt!

A guy took out the small cloth bag used by Lin Wenbing and the leaders to discuss the price from the house, and opened it for everyone to see, it was full of snow-white refined fine salt, "This bag happens to be one catty." The guy fiddled with a few small cloth bags in his hand, "A bear's paw, one pound can be exchanged for five pounds of salt!" ”

The hunter, who was about to exchange bear's paws, immediately pounced like a little bear, snatched the salt bag from the man's hand, threw the four pairs of bear paws in his hand to him, and asked the man to take him to choose a weapon.

After a while, the man screamed happily and ran out of the storeroom.

His outfit seemed to the Sauronians to be a nouveau riche and made the hunters' eyes redden. He carried a huge iron bow on his back, and twenty feathered arrows in the quiver were neatly arranged. He carried a long knife at his waist and a spear in his hand. The animal skin backpack on the back is bulging, and I don't know how many good things are inside. With a circle of cotton wrapped around his waist, he thought he was going back to please his woman. There are also several copper bowls and flat copper kettles inserted in the cloth.

A howl rang out in the crowd, and the hunters were both happy for their companions and set themselves a new goal.

The rest of the things are much simpler, in comparison, most of the items with tiger bones, deer antlers, and Dongzhu in their hands are the various heads around Lin Wenbing.

A Humpty Dumpty man pulled out a dozen Dongzhu from the deerskin pocket around his waist and asked for the same number of bows. Lin Wenbing picked up one and shone it in the sun, if such Dongzhu is transported to the capital, each one will be at least three thousand taels or more.

"I will exchange each bead with a bow and twenty arrows, and I will give you five more knives and five spears, and if you have such beads in the future, you will give them to me!"

The other man ordered a few intact pairs of tiger bones to be brought out of a birch bark basket, and made gestures for wine, food, salt, and cloth.

After three days of trading, the Sauron tribe exchanged the leather goods and local products they brought for all kinds of iron weapons, salt, cloth, grain, spirits and other daily necessities. All the way to the south happily home.

Before leaving, Bomu Bogol swore an oath to slaughter the beasts with Lin Wenbing on behalf of the Sauron Department, and when he arrived at Heilongjiang to civilize, he would exchange at least 500 heads of Jiannu for all kinds of supplies.

"Don't worry, big boss! Even if I'm not there, I'll ship things from Kuyi Island and leave them with the Lords of Aldi, and ask him to complete the deal for me. ”

The headhunting operation of the Sauron people, who were hated by Huang Taiji and gritted their teeth, began.

And the head of Aldi, after sending away Bomu Bogol and others, also obtained a new identity, the business agent of the Han Yuan firm in the Heilongjiang Valley, and he can get one percent of the intermediary fee for each transaction. (To be continued......)
