Xue Rengui's words were categorical, and there was no room for the businessman to refuse.

In fact, in the past few years he has been outside, he has met many such merchants, but every time he refuses the kindness of these merchants, he will return some things that can be returned, such as some food, he will often buy them according to the market price, no matter how difficult it is, he will not take advantage of the merchants at all.

This is not to say that Xue Rengui is high-minded, nor is he singing a high note, but because Li Chengqian has confessed not to take advantage of him before this.

First of all, the money of those merchants does not fall out of thin air, it is not easy for them to make money, and it is unkind and unjust to eat their things for nothing.

Secondly, there is no such thing as a free lunch, this time you took his things, next time if he asks you for something, do you want to agree? After all, eating people with short mouths and short hands with people, it is unreasonable not to agree, but if you agree, it will violate military discipline, isn't this situation like roasting yourself on the fire?

It is precisely because of this that Xue Rengui will refuse all the labor and military actions from the merchants, and he is not responsible for himself, but also for the entire Zuo Wuwei.

After knowing Xue Rengui's plan, the merchant thought that he was deliberately humble, but after trying to persuade him a few times, he found that Lao Xue was serious, so he could only nod his head and do what he wanted.

"Tell me about the Nebora, how much do you know about the country that you have been doing business there all year round?" Seeing that the merchant was not insisting, Xue Rengui smiled with satisfaction, and then asked about the situation in Nepal.

The merchant was not surprised that Xue Rengui would have such an inquiry, thought for a while and said: "This country is not easy to say, they believe in the native church of Nepal, which can be regarded as a branch of Buddhism, and their country's population is not large, and the military strength is not very strong, for General Xue and the army of the Tang Dynasty, it is estimated that they will not be able to stop even a round." ”

"......" Xue Rengui looked at the businessman a little speechlessly, feeling the businessman's expansion from the heart.

If the Nepalese were really so weak, how could they survive between Tianzhu and Tibet, and with the ferocity of the Tibetans, it is estimated that they would have been wiped out long ago, right?

"General Xue, do you know, because you are stationed at the border, now the status of our merchants from the Tang Dynasty in Nepal has been greatly improved, as long as the Tang people enter the city, they don't have to pay the city tax, well......, they can speak the Tang dialect and they don't need to pay taxes."

"In addition, if there is a conflict with someone, as long as it is not a major crime such as murder, the Tang people can be exonerated from the crime, and they don't even have to pay the bail money, or as long as the identity of the Tang people is revealed, they can leave on the spot immediately."

Xue Rengui was silent, and the merchant tongue was bright, and he talked about all the changes in the country of Nepal in the past month, and finally said with some emotion: "General, this is the first time that our Han people have been so respected abroad, and this is all thanks to you, when you were not here, we would often be exploited by outsiders, and those horse thieves would often rob us. ”

"But now, we will not be subjected to any difficulties at all from Datang all the way to the Western Regions, as long as the identity of the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions is revealed, the goods can be exempted from being turned over and inspected, and the horse thieves on the road will immediately flee thousands of miles away as long as they see the caravan of Datang, these are things that have never happened before."

"So, so ......," the merchant said, his eyes turned red: "General, in fact, we merchants who travel far away are also human beings, and we also have parents, wives and children in our hometown, and we don't want to go so far to do business. ”

"But we always have to live, in order to make our families live a better life, even if there is danger, we must continue to do it, and for this reason, many people have fallen in the desert of the Western Regions."

"You know how proud we are when those people from the Western Regions bow their heads to us, and you know how grateful we are when those people from the Western Regions smile at us, these are all given to us by you, so please accept our hearts, otherwise our conscience will be uneasy!"

After talking for a while, the merchant brought the topic back to square one, and once again rejected Xue Rengui's opinion that he wanted to buy the vegetables and water products he sent at the original price.

Xue Rengui didn't speak for a long time, he had to admit that he was moved by the businessman's words, but he didn't want to violate his principles, and finally thought about it and said: "In this case, I have accepted your things, but I still can't collect them in vain, the things you send must be registered, and you have to leave a note, these things will definitely be presented to Your Majesty after returning to Chang'an in the future, and Your Majesty will decide how to dispose of them when the time comes." ”

"It's done, it's done!" The businessman was immediately overjoyed when he saw Xue Rengui promise not to give money, and he barely jumped up with joy, leaving countless words of gratitude to say goodbye and leave, and the old Xue cried neither laughing nor laughing.

It was the first time he had ever seen a merchant do such a thing, and he would be grateful to the man who took it for nothing.

However, the hell that made Xue Rengui hell not end here, just the day after the merchant left, a larger wave of caravans drove into the camp, still countless vegetables and fruits, still crying with emotion.

In the end, Xue Rengui could only nod his head and agree to accept the things according to the way he dealt with the merchant yesterday, which made the other group of merchants leave satisfied.

Such days lasted for nearly half a month, and it was not until Zuo Wuwei's soldiers fed their fat-filled stomachs with vegetables and expressed infinite emotion with satisfaction that this life came to an end.

The Western Regions are bitter, there are no vegetables to eat, and it is really painful to eat meat all at once.

In the past, when I was in Chang'an, there was not much meat, and these big-headed soldiers always complained that the meat sent from the farm was not enough.

But after arriving in the Western Regions, it only took a month for these guys to start nostalgic for their previous lives, and they began to miss the days of eating food at meals.

But there is no food in the Western Regions, even the food is scarce, and they can't get any other supplies except meat, so in the end, the most fearful thing for the guys of Zuo Wuwei every day is to eat, looking at the pot after pot of carnal desire and crying without tears.

It can be said that after entering the Tibetan Plateau, even if these big-headed soldiers saw a weed on the side of the road, as long as it was not poisonous, they could immediately pull it out and put it in their mouths to eat it, which was used to neutralize their stomachs full of fat.

Therefore, the full supply of vegetables in this half month almost made these big-headed soldiers think that they had arrived in heaven, and several lieutenants and generals even began to instigate Xue Rengui to move the garrison forward for a few hundred miles and station it in the capital city of Nepal.
