On the first day of June, the weather in Shuofang in June was not hot, but early in the morning, the newly built market outside the north gate of Shuofang was already full of people, and the two long streets were full of people coming and going, a busy scene.

The trading hall is even more noisy, Turkic dialect and Datang dialect are mixed together, and if you don't speak loudly, you can't hear it clearly, just like the Spring Festival many years later.

Feng Daiwen has already taken the guards to inspect a circle, and all he saw was a satisfied smile, the grassland people were satisfied, a sheepskin can be exchanged for three catties of refined salt, enough for a family to eat for a year, you must know that coarse salt was used before, and many times only vinegar cloth was used, that is, a cloth boiled with coarse salt and vinegar, when it was used, put a little boiled in water is salt, a sheep can be changed to an iron pot, although it is smaller, not very thick, but it is an iron pot, and there is no need to worry about breaking it when you move in the future. A lamb can also be exchanged for several exquisite porcelain bowls, and more importantly, grain, a skin can be exchanged for 10 catties, and wolf skin can be exchanged for 50 catties.

The Datang people are also very satisfied, seeing that the grassland people are like copper coins moving around one by one, they almost don't shout that people are stupid and come faster.

Everyone thinks they have earned it, they are very happy, this is a small transaction in the bazaar, to Feng Daiwen's surprise is that there is no dispute that needs to be resolved by the management office, a merchant of the Tang Dynasty and a Turkic herdsman completed a transaction by comparison, the Turkic people who completed the transaction will deliver the cattle and sheep to the merchant under the leadership of the guards, and the merchant will go to the unified storage of cattle and sheep after the completion of the collection,

Jieli and Tuli this time were generous with 10,000 horses, thousands of horses, 50,000 sheep, more than 200,000 skins, in exchange for a large number of grain, porcelain, salt tea, silk, iron pots, the deal was quickly negotiated, they all thought it was very cost-effective, and after the transaction was completed, they hurriedly left with a large number of materials, probably afraid of being robbed by the other party on the road.

You must know that the grasslands are not very safe, there are often fights between tribes, and it is not uncommon for a few herders to disappear occasionally.

"Well, look at the way you guys get a good harvest." Feng Daiwen saw Qin Huaiyu and the others chatting happily, so he walked over and asked:

"Hehe, the country is here, it's not bad, several big tribes were swept away early in the morning, and finally lived up to their holy hopes, transporting 50,000 stones of various grains, in exchange for 8,000 war horses and 50,000 sheep, it's like robbing, isn't it easier than robbing," Qu Tuquan smiled from ear to ear:

"I don't have much, it's all new tea that is a little more expensive, so I'll change it to three thousand horses," although Qin Huaiyu pretended to be reserved, he couldn't hide his happy look.

"Hehe, my family pulled over 10,000 iron pots and exchanged them for 10,000 sheep, hehe." Changsun Chong was already happy and stupid.

"Your porcelain is even more powerful, and most of it has been exchanged by Jieli, so it is estimated that it will be exchanged elsewhere," Qu Tuquan continued:

"Hehe, that's good, it looks like there won't be a big deal until noon." Feng Daiwen was also very happy:

"Of course, some merchants used to smuggle secretly, how many goods are there, this time it can be said that the scale is grand, these people are afraid that there will be no more in the future, and they can't wait to change the clothes on their bodies, and the people who go back only have the horses they need to ride and the consignment of goods, and the others are taken to change, and some merchants actually changed the rations for the return trip, and plan to buy them all the way back, and there is a funnier one, who actually took off the silk clothes of himself and his companions and put a leather around his body, haha, he is not afraid of heat and problems this day." Qin Huaiyu grinned:

"Hehe, this is what everyone is worried about, the grassland people are worried that there will be no transactions in the future, and the Datang merchants are worried that they will be replaced by others, and they will not have to change in the future. It's all about profit. Feng Daiwen smiled and said:

"We plan to return to Chang'an tomorrow, I don't know what Weiguo needs to bring back." Qin Huaiyu said:

"There is a storybook, just sort out a part, you help me go back and hand it over to the princess to relieve the boredom, I will go back to Chang'an after a while, there is nothing else to bring, what time will I leave tomorrow, I will send you off, next time I come to Shuofang I will entertain you." Feng Daiwen to:

"Knowing that you are busy, you don't have to send each other, and there are still many opportunities for us to go to Shuofang in the future." Qin Huaiyu to:

"It's okay, then you have a good walk around Shuofang, I won't accompany you, you take care all the way," Feng Daiwen said goodbye to the three of them and continued to inspect.

As expected, just at noon, there was basically no one in the market, and the whole process of the market was very similar to buying New Year's goods in the town when I was a child, and a large group of people were busy buying things, carrying things in their hands and shoulders, walking around in the crowded crowd, and shouting at their separated friends and family from time to time.

Many of the Turks came together in small tribes, and they were all busy rushing back, after all, the steppe was not so safe.

Xue Yantuo and the Hui people also left, and secretly went back with the weapons that Feng Daiwen exchanged for them, although there were swords, guns, swords, and halberds in a mess, but the grassland people didn't care, how could they be better than theirs, as for the crossbow arrows and armor, Feng Daiwen clearly told them that this was not for sale, and would only equip Datang's own army, and if they joined Datang, these would be distributed for free,

Although it was a bit regrettable, Xue Yantuo and the Hui people were still very satisfied with the harvest of this trip, and agreed to bring more goods in exchange for Feng Daiwen next time to give them the idea that they could go to a farther place to buy furs, cattle and sheep to exchange, after all, the tribe that was too far away from the Tang Dynasty didn't know and couldn't go so far to exchange, as for whether they went to grab or exchange, it was none of Feng Daiwen's business. Not only weapons, but also exchanged a lot of salt, tea, and grain, Feng Daiwen also gave them 500 pieces of porcelain, which moved the people of the two tribes.

As the sun went down, the outside of Shuofang calmed down, and the city began to be lively again, and the merchants who had been busy all day counted the goods and began to prepare for the return journey, and acquaintances would gather together to drink some wine, have a meal, and talk loudly about their respective receipts. Shuofang people are also very happy, doing business, opening a restaurant during this period of time is very popular, and the people who have nothing to do are also invited by businessmen to help carry and earn a little money, which is enough to improve their lives, make a new clothes, and the whole Shuofang is full of laughter,

Even many Turkic people who live outside the city and work do not want to return to the steppe, although they are a little tired, they can eat enough, and they do not have to worry about the wolves of the steppe at night, and they do not have to live in damp tents, nor do they have to worry about encountering strong winds and rains. Everything is very satisfying, the Datang people said that they can become Datang people after five years, and they can get money for their work, and their wives will help with grazing, so they don't have to worry that the patriarch will take a fancy to his wife. All in all was beautiful.
