After explaining the affairs of Zhongshan Kingdom, Bai Gui left the checkpoint with the caravan carrying horses and went to the border checkpoint between Zhao and Korea.

Just now, the guards came to report that Han Shen did not miss the contract after returning and brought a large amount of supplies for the purchase of horses.

"Hey! This Shinko! So decisive! "Knowing that Shin Bu is not harmful, Bai Gui is very happy.

I thought: I forgot to say it! You don't need to transport everything to the border to trade. Just send some of them over, and bring the supplies we need. Other materials can be temporarily suspended.

Not all the materials were transported to the grassland. But! Selectively ship it over. And what about the steppe people! Not all the supplies they want. For example, practical utensils such as pottery are needed by the grassland people, but they are not convenient to transport. Transported to the depths of the grassland, I am afraid that half of it will be damaged. So! The cost is too high to be cost-effective.

The copper utensils that were shipped last time were all damaged. And what about pottery? So! Not all supplies can be transported to the grasslands.

So! He had to come over as soon as possible and tell Shen that it was not harmful. Some materials do not need to be transported directly by them, and can be digested nearby. In South Korea, he has a chain of warehouses, and some goods can be stored in the warehouse. Such! It is not only convenient for South Korea, but also saves a lot of trouble, and there is no need for round-trip transportation.

The horses promised to South Korea have not yet been shipped, and the goods from South Korea have already been delivered. So Bai Gui is very anxious, and he must rush over first, meet with Shen Buxian, and explain.

And also! I heard that the Chu State has also brought the ore, and it is waiting for him to go over and deal with it. Ore is also an important strategic material, with ore, he can find a market. You can't talk to anyone without ore.

There was a part of the ore that he was going to transport to the savannah. But! Not all ore is shipped over. The ore transported to the steppe is mainly copper ore and corresponding auxiliary ore. For example, tin mines and other places.

After the ancestors discovered copper and used it, they found the corresponding auxiliary ores, and added some to the copper to smelt better copper tools. Pure copper, the copper made is brittle and not durable. So! The ancestors experimented countless times and discovered other auxiliary ores.

The states of Chu and Wei are both big ore countries. Especially in the state of Chu, there are more minerals.

At that time, the mining conditions were poor, and the so-called minerals were minerals, not minerals buried in the ground. No matter how abundant the minerals were underground, the mining capacity at that time was limited, and even if it was discovered, it could not be mined.

At that time, the state of Chu was mainly rich in ores, all kinds of ores. At that time, the Wei State, because of its limited land area, was mainly rich in "rare earths", that is, auxiliary ores. Both countries have their own strengths, so they have become military powers.

Having minerals and resources is equivalent to having wealth and tickets, and it is easy to do things if you have money. So! These two countries became the hegemons of the time.

Bai Gyu rushed to the border between Zhao and South Korea, and the transaction site was not in Zhao State. He went out of the Zhao State checkpoint and entered South Korea, and in a small town on the border, it was the real trading scene.

The South Korean side pulled the goods over and put them at the gate of the town.

There is a square in front of the town, but! It's all possible to complete the transaction. Some of the valuable goods were kept in the compound of the town. In the square in front of the door, there are those who are large and not afraid of rain.

When Baekyu came over, the two sides were in the process of handover.

The head of the caravan, led by South Korean officials, counted the number of goods. Then make a report, in duplicate. One for himself and one for the South Korean side. And then! Accounting for the statistical value, the guy can receive the goods.

Wait until the handover of this type or batch of goods is completed, and then receive the next class or the next batch of goods, and so on.

The South Korean side handed over the goods to the caravan, got the manifest, and it was completed. The specific settlement is not their business, it is the business of the higher-level leaders.

The caravan received all the goods, and then unified and reconciled them with the Korean accountant, and then! Calculate how many horses can be exchanged.

"So much pottery?" Seeing pottery everywhere, as well as broken pottery, Baekyu couldn't help but sigh.

Korean pottery making is quite good, and there are all kinds of utensils. Most often bowls, plates, basins, pots, jars, ...... It's so good, it's just not convenient to transport. So! After the Korean transportation came here, it lost a lot.

"White officials!" When the person in charge saw Bai Gui and Bai Guanren coming, he quickly put down the work at hand and ran over to say hello.

"You work hard! You guys work hard! Let's take a break, everybody! Bai Gui hurriedly greeted.

"White officials? He's a white official? "Among the caravans, there are still many people who don't know Bai Gui and Bai Guanren. The name Bai Gui and Bai Guanren are on his lips every day, but he only hears his name but does not see his person.

"He's a white official! Our Yiyi parents! Someone I know said.

"Oh?"

After seeing Bai Gui and Bai Guanren, many people were in awe, and did not dare to step forward, standing in place and looking at Bai Guanren.

"White officials! And a lot of food! After the scales were passed, they were all sent to the warehouse. In the courtyard of the town, there is also exquisite lacquerware! ……”

"Lacquerware?" When Bai Gui heard this, his brows immediately stretched again. Lian Sheng said: "This is good! This is good! ”

Lacquerware is furniture and the like, usually trays, food cabinets, boxes, vanity boxes for aristocratic women, and so on. At that time, lacquerware was a high-end product.

"But! The number of cases is a bit large! The person in charge sighed.

A few cases! It is also inconvenient to transport it to the prairie. So! The person in charge sighed.

"Oh! Can be sold domestically! Domestic! Bai Gui hurriedly answered.

"Bronze and jewelry, because they are too valuable, I heard that Shin Xiang will personally send them. Right now! The goods handed over to us by South Korea can be exchanged for 2,000 horses. Looks like! They don't just want to buy three thousand horses......"

"Oh? Hush! When Bai Gui heard this, he quickly shushed lightly and didn't let the person in charge say so loudly.

"Oh oh oh!" Seeing this, the person in charge understood what Bai Gui and Bai Guanren meant, and quickly lowered his voice. "If it can be transported to the grassland, I will put it aside, and when the horses come over and the official handover is successful, South Korea will let us go!"

Bai Gui nodded in understanding!

South Korea is already very kind in doing this: before the horse sees it, it will hand over the goods to you first, so as not to be in a hurry. Wait until the horses come, and then let you out of the country. So! This is completely understandable.

If something happens! With the receipt in their hand, they can still ask for the goods or equivalent goods. If all the goods are sent out of South Korea, it will be a bit troublesome to ask for them.
