Chapter 274: The Troubles of Happiness

Lin Sen didn't have the intention to dry this future white-robed god general, he wasn't really a fool of himself, and Xue Rengui was also an arrogant person.

If you really do this, I'm afraid that the good fate has not been formed, but it has become a shameful moment in the minds of others, and it is difficult to cultivate a life and death enemy, which is contrary to the original intention of the beginning.

Although he did want to see what Xue Rengui's heart was, he definitely didn't use such a method.

It's just that his caravan happened to be back this time, and Xi Junmai knew that he was here, and he had already come here to prepare for the report.

Lin Sen was naturally very concerned about the situation of the caravan, and since he hadn't seen Xi Jun for a long time, he was a little anxious.

There is no need to be polite, both sides have a tacit understanding and directly enter the topic, Xi Junmai gave a detailed introduction to the situation of this trip out of the city for trade.

On the whole, this trade went relatively smoothly, and of course it is unlikely that there will be no twists and turns in the grassland.

There are always a few tribes in the middle who are not self-sufficient, and they want to directly turn into horse bandits to rob them of their votes, and some are probably the routs generated during the struggle between the two khans of Tuli and Jieli, and they also want to do a deal without capital, so as not to return to the tribe without gain.

It's a pity that although this caravan is the largest and the largest in number, there is no doubt that the elites of each family are dispatched, and the veterans of a hundred battles don't know how many, and one by one is the most brave, and some of them have dealt with the Turkic cavalry more than once, so they have a lot of experience in dealing with it.

And Xi Junmai also showed the potential to be a general, and the central dispatch was also a command, and he successfully minimized his own losses, and resisted the plunders again and again almost unscathed.

Relying on the strength of the farmers, the Lin family has also become the most rewarded after the battle, and the captured cattle, sheep, carts and horses alone are in a row, and they will not even be less than the first few transactions.

Of course, this is also thanks to the extraordinarily powerful four-wheeled carriages at home, every time they encounter an enemy attack, these carriages of the Lin family will always surround the outskirts of the caravan, acting as the first fortress of all goods, which can ensure that everyone's goods are not lost.

Because of this, the Lin family won unanimous praise from several caravans in the same industry, and naturally there was a lot of praise for Xi Junmai's kid.

The two main things, one bright and one dark, are naturally not a secret to these familiar Wu Xun families, and they must know the weight of Xi Junmai, who is Lin Sen's personal disciple, in this trip.

Since they have to continue to trade deep into the grasslands, of course, there are no prisoners of war, and bringing those prisoners of war with different minds will become the biggest burden and hidden danger.

However, the booty of the harvest, whether it is all kinds of livestock or all kinds of skins, must not have been spared at all.

Even with those obtained through the serious trade, when the caravan returned, it was definitely immense, and it was not worse than the formation of many large tribes when they migrated.

Even the turmoil on the grassland could not reduce the value of these Tang luxuries brought by the caravan, and tea also played a huge role in this transaction.

Especially after the appearance of milk tea, it conquered the body and mind of these grassland people with a relatively monotonous diet almost instantly, and after learning that there are many effects such as eliminating food and relieving greasy, it has become the object of competition among those leaders.

Of course, what is even more crazy is the emergence of spirits, after these self-proclaimed warriors of the grassland people drank the first bowl of soju, their faces were flushed, and they immediately became the most loyal fans of this soju, and they hated to exchange all the horses and wealth in hand for this immortal brew called burning knives.

It's so appetizing! Even made them can't help but have an extremely rare fear of the future, if they don't burn the knife and drink, how can they live their own lives!

So the bidding began, and many leaders wanted to monopolize these peerless immortal products, and later fought for the real fire, and almost put down the scene directly, with a white knife in and a red knife out.

But these brothers from Datang are very principled, they don't give you priority when you bid high, and they won't look down on you because of your poor financial resources, and they haven't even changed the price, they still stick to the original offer instead of taking the highest price.

Under such a fair and just transaction, Xi Junmai not only made a lot of profits along the way, but also won the friendship of more and more tribes, and gradually became the most popular caravan on the grassland.

Of course, it also attracted a lot of peeping eyes, but the results of several battles were enough to deter those hungry wolves of the steppe who were about to move.

With industry and shochu, two invincible artifacts to open the way, and other commodities that have long been famous hard currency in the grasslands, their trade along the way is going very smoothly.

Before I could go to too many places, I almost sold out all the items on hand, and this was when I had to sell them in limited quantities.

The things brought back from this trip are even more incalculable, and even people like Lin Sen, who have seen a big scene, are very excited.

Needless to say, large livestock such as war horses and cattle and sheep will always be sought-after goods within the Tang Dynasty, at least before the Turks are defeated, the prices are very strong.

And this kind of goods is likely to be just a small piece of silk that is very common here in Chang'an, and it is not uncommon for a bottle of burning knife to be exchanged for a war horse.

Those prairie people are so enthusiastic that they just drive the horses to catch up with you and let you choose at will, just to exchange for a jar of soju and go back to have a good drink.

You said that Xi Jun bought them, can you cool their enthusiasm? Apparently not.

When facing the tribe, it is natural to be fair and just, and when facing generous friends, it is natural that love and righteousness come first, and it is not a matter of several times higher than the original price, it is all a courtesy exchange between friends.

By the way, of course, it is indispensable to feel the reality of all the grassland tribes that have been visited, a few glasses of soju, most of them are honest, so naturally what to say, if there is a question to answer, it can be regarded as overfulfilling the caravan's exploration mission into the hinterland of the grassland.

Those big livestock, Lin Sen's side basically doesn't have to worry about it, in addition to leaving a part of the good condition suitable for being a war horse to raise on the Zhuangzi, so that more farmers can become cavalry, and the rest simply let the Cheng family and a few of them help to contact and sell it together, the price is better, and it saves a lot of thought.

But those furs are a bit of a headache for Lin Sen, and the number brought back by several other martial artists is also quite a lot, and the biggest consumer of this piece is naturally the army, all kinds of leather armor, leather goods, and everything can be used. Lin Sen had just eaten the piece of military rations, and the piece of skin was naturally embarrassed to grab Cheng Biting Jin's share again.

So how to make good use of these things that are more valuable in Datang, but ordinary people can't afford to consume them, has become a thorny problem at Lin Sen's eyes.

The market that can be faced is relatively narrow, and at the same time, it is really difficult to find a way out with those people.
