Chapter 673: Vulture Grass

Nanmurwei lives on nomadic herding and hunting, supplemented by fishing and agriculture; The North Chamber, the Bowl Chamber, and the Deep Late Chamberwei are mainly engaged in hunting, fishing and animal husbandry, and some of them either make a living by catching mink, or "wear fish skins"; Omuro is mainly engaged in animal husbandry and hunting. Tuli was still speculating that Xu Jingzong, a member of the Great Sui Rite Department, had already gotten up and asked the envoy of Murwei Bulu: "If the Great Sui trades with Murwei with down jackets and ironware, I don't know if you are willing?" ”

Of course he is willing, Bulu is not a fool, but Bulu can't say that he is willing, the Turkic and Goguryeo missions are on the side, and from the current trade volume, the share of the Great Sui is almost zero. Bulu pretended to drink too much wine and said: "The things of the Great Sui are indeed good things, and we also want them, but the weather is cold and the materials are scarce, so we really can't get anything that can be exchanged at an equivalent price. ”

Bulu This is directly wanted, Xu Jingzong smiled slightly and said: "Lord Bulu said that it is a joke, we have already discussed with the Black Water Indigo and will set up a crushing farm in Gaimu City, if Mu Wei wants to trade, he can go there." As for supplies? And they exchanged mink and vultures. ”

Bulu's face changes suddenly, the vulture grass is a kind of herbaceous plant in the Great Khing'an Mountains, the stems and leaves are slender, green, clusters of clusters, the flower spikes are greenish-brown, this grass fiber is tough, not easy to break, every autumn, people go to the mountain to cut the vultures, dry and store, in the winter to the straw sandals, straw mattresses, leather boots. There are many wild grasses in the Northeast that resemble vultures, but only the vultures have the best warmth performance, but this secret is hidden even from the Turks, but the Great Sui people know it.

When Tuli and Kang Sheli saw each other, they knew that their work had not been done well, and that mink was a tribute from Muwei to the Turks, but they had definitely heard of the name vulture, but they never cared about it. Bulu took a deep breath and said, "Lord Xu, the envoys of the Turks and Goguryeo are here, please continue." ”

Yang Chong glanced at Bu Lu Gao, and in the face of Xu Jingzong's unprepared question, Bu Lu just panicked for two or three seconds and returned to normal, he was a talent. Xu Jingzong kept a smile and said: "There are granaries in the north of Murowei, fishing grounds in the south, herds in the west, and orchards in the east. ”

Murowei also produces tiger bones, deer antlers, and bear paws, which are all products for the Turks, and Xu Jingzong didn't mention it, so it is obvious that Da Sui has a thorough understanding of Murowei's family background. Yuan Wensheng reluctantly stepped forward and said: "Lord Xu, Murwei and we have been trading for a long time, and we have become accustomed to each other. ”

Xu Jingzong bowed his head and said: "Lord Yuan didn't hear what I meant, the reward is only temporary, the quantity is limited, and trade is long-term, what we hope is that Murowei will really develop and become a major force in the Northeast." Lord Bulu, you bring back our Great Sui opinions, and see what the tribes say, no matter how valuable the vultures are, they can't catch up with the local production money you took to trade with Goguryeo. ”

Xu Jingzong's words did not have the slightest threat, but it was a completely different meaning in Bulu's ears, the Khitan Alliance of the Dahe clan was developed by the tribe of the Murowei people who went south, and its strength was once stronger than that of the Murowei, but because it was not attached to the Great Sui at the beginning, in less than three years, it was already a remnant in the northeast, and there were less than 30,000 people left, and all the southbound routes were blocked by the Great Sui and the Turks, and it was completely a piece of meat on the chopping block.

Kang Sheli had just asked the entourage behind him, and only then did he know that the vultures were everywhere in the Great Xing'an Mountains, so he immediately snorted and said, "Lord Xu, why don't you trade the vultures with us?" ”

"That's a good feeling." Wang Gong took over the topic and said briskly: "For the first time, 20,000 catties, five catties of dried vultures and one catty of iron, were traded in Fangcheng, Anzhou. ”

The price was not low, and Tuli and Kang Sheali were thrilled and agreed; Bulu regrets it, it is obvious that what the Great Sui wants is vultures, and the Turks will definitely exploit and squeeze Murwei in the future, and it is better to agree from the beginning if they knew it. Brother Cave sighed, all the people who just started to deal with Da Sui will have the same old idea, thinking that Da Sui wants to play tricks, but in fact, the other party only wants materials, and is not interested in foreign races, and like the Khitan two years ago, today Mu Wei missed the opportunity to get rid of fate.

Kang Sheali picked up a big bargain, anyway, it was Murwei who worked, and he got four thousand catties of iron for nothing; Kang Yanli was happy in his heart, and in the later time, he kept saying good things about Yang Chong, and those who came in late couldn't figure out the situation; Yang Chong was not satisfied, so he had no choice but to do so, the cotton boots that can solve the problem of the army in the northeast are necessary materials. Not only for the Murowei, but also for the Beji tribes, Xu Shiji also asked them to collect them from Changbai Mountain, dry them and send them to Gaimu City in exchange for iron tools and grain.

Yu Xuan immediately read out the edict of the Great Sui, established the Heishui Governor's Mansion, and appointed Agu Lang as the Governor of the Great Metropolis, which was located in Helong City. Helong City is the second king of the early Sushen Kingdom, Xidu, about 1800 B.C., the Hui and Mo tribes of the southern branch of Sushen gradually migrated to Xidu and merged into the Huimo tribe, in order to commemorate the integration of the two major tribes into the Sushen Kingdom, the King of Sushen then changed the country name to Dehui, and changed the "Xidu" to "Helong City". In the long years since, this ancient capital has changed many different names, but it has always been the royal capital of the Northeast Kingdom.

The black water deer can get this kind of benefit, just because the attitude is obviously better than that of Murowei; Zhuojun, who came to the county in person from the big chief Agu Lang, has been sitting at the bottom of Tuli, watching the changes on the field with cold eyes. The Great Sui and Goguryeo wars together, Agu Lang began to pay attention to the situation in Liaodong, and received the news that Gaimu City was captured by the Sui army.

Sure enough, as Agulang expected, Bo Du Yan Ya joined the Great Sui, and the Hao Mu fled to the eastern coast, and the Great Sui occupied the north of the Liao River; Helong City was the main battlefield of the Black Water Cave and the Horn Chamber, and in the end, because the 6,000 horsemen of the Horn Chamber, went south to help in the battle, Helong City fell into the hands of Agu Lang. The canonization of the Great Sui gave Agulang a backer, and the Heishui Governor's Mansion and the Great Sui Xuansu County were connected, and with each other's support, it should be difficult for Goguryeo to come back.

Yuan Wensheng heard the difference between this appointment and the original, the Metropolitan Protectorate was dominated by the Great Sui, and the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion said that the Great Sui was not in a hurry to enter that area; The Beji tribes were a little happy to hear this, and the Black Water Turtle and Beji had always been allies. Wang Gong replaced Yang Chong and toasted Agu Lang and said: "The Baishan Metropolitan Protectorate will choose a site between Longtan Mountain and Longshou Mountain, called Baishan City, and after the imperial court is built, the Beji tribes can come to live." ”
