Since stepping on the land of the plateau, Shi Lei's team has had more outsiders, a team composed of a female noblewoman and her guards. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

They came from the eastern country of Yazhou, which borders Yazhou. And the role of these people is more similar to that of translators and guides, who will guide Shi Lei and them, and rush to the plateau cities where commerce and trade are more concentrated, with goods, to help them complete this first trade.

The East Female Country is also called Jiaermu, and you will know from this name that this territory is actually a daughter country. People still practice a female-centered, and female-worshipping social system, and the person in charge of political affairs is the queen who is upright, also called the king, because there is also a little king as a deputy, and he is also the successor of the king.

The Queen's husband is also a king, but like all other men in the country, he is only responsible for fighting wars outside the country, and has no right to interfere in internal affairs.

In such a place that is almost a matriarchal society, every family is naturally proud to have a daughter.

So it's not surprising that this woman is the main part of this line.

It's not that people came out of pure kindness, because Dongnuguo is actually doing the work of a second-class dealer now.

The business and trade between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty are all handed over, and of course it is okay to sell them directly.

Tubo is an emerging power, and now it has not really been recognized by the Tang Dynasty, and the Dongnu Kingdom has been much longer than Tubo, and there have been contacts since the Sui Dynasty, and it is a country recognized by the Central Plains, and there are a lot of trade contacts.

Nowadays, this system is not quite the same as in later generations, it does not mean that you can do business with people if you want to, especially with foreign countries, you have to have a mutual market place recognized by the country, that is to say, you have to go through the customs permission.

Like Shi Lei, he ran out of Yazhou to do business with people, which must be regarded as smuggling, but he has a good relationship with the military leaders at the border gates, and this is not a big deal.

Besides, what Shi Lei sells is not a sensitive material, and it is not a problem to get some daily necessities to go out, not even a single iron weapon, and the military leader does not have to worry about his own responsibility.

The only thing that is not suitable for this caravan is that there are too many weapons in the caravan, and they are all the most sophisticated things, which are enough to deal with a local war.

However, the military commander also knew that it was impossible for Shi Lei and them to sell these good things to Tubo or others.

Shi Lei is not a fool, a descendant of the current captain of the emperor's guard, he has a good life in the country, but he went to send warmth to the Tubo people, no one will do this.

So he asked Shi Lei and them to clear the customs, and there was no pressure at all.

This is not like today's uncle and grandson Wuji's family, which opens the largest blacksmith shop in Datang.

The weapons that came out were not only equipped with their own families, but they were sold more, and by the way, they sold some to outsiders, and they didn't care.

The military leaders are worried about the colleagues who have opened the door of convenience, in case something happens one day, it is not those military leaders who are unlucky, and this board will definitely not fall on the head of the uncle of the country.

Shi Lei and this eldest sister with plateau red get along quite happily, and they have a deep seriousness about the strength of the Central Plains, so in the face of a marquis of the Tang Dynasty, this etiquette is quite thoughtful.

"The Dongnu country is small and weak, and it can't get rid of the Tubo bandits, and the safety along the way has to be bothered by the Hou Ye himself."

This female official came up and made her position clear, and told Shi Lei that their Dongnu Country is at ease to be a second-class dealer, and if there are really horse thieves to rob, don't expect the Dongnu Congress to stretch out their hands.

I can't take care of my own family, and I won't offend those Tubo forces, no matter whether they are real horse thieves or which leader's subordinates make up makeup, anyway, they have to rely on Shi Lei himself to settle it.

Shi Lei can also fully understand this, Dongnu Kingdom is more like a tribal alliance, composed of dozens of large and small tribes, relying on a total of about 10,000 warriors, to maintain this close to the Tang Dynasty, convenient for trade and exchanges.

If they really offend Tubo, they will definitely not dare to do it, and of course they will not be embarrassed by Datang's side, in short, it is a neutral attitude.

The flag of the Eastern Women's Kingdom erected high in their ranks is probably to prevent accidental injury.

Those robbers should also give the East Woman Kingdom this face, because they still rely on the East Woman Country to sell the stolen goods in the end, so as not to offend their own financiers.

Shi Lei feels that the interests in this are also an important reason for the tacit understanding between the two sides.

Shi Lei just nodded, indicating complete understanding. When a martial aristocrat encounters a robbery, he has to rely on others to save it, which is not enough to lose money.

Shi Lei didn't feel that he needed to go to the eastern women's country for help, unless he encountered the army of Tubo.

But in that case, Shi Lei may choose to die on the battlefield.

"I don't know what kind of goods Hou Ye brought this time?" The female official asked generously in fluent Tang official dialect.

"I prepared some silk and brick tea, as well as porcelain and wine."

Shi Lei definitely came prepared this time, silk and tea are undoubtedly the best stepping stones, such things have an unparalleled attraction to people living on the plateau.

It's just that this tea, the current recognition is still a little worse, and the plateau does not seem to have formed the habit of drinking tea.

Shi Lei planned to take advantage of this opportunity to talk to them well.

Needless to say, porcelain is such a good thing, for the surrounding countries, the technical content is too high, but it is really exquisite and lovely, so that they yearn for it very much, it is an irresistible temptation, even on the plateau, it is definitely hard currency.

What Shi Lei brought over this time were all fired by the farmers themselves, and they were all unsightly goods that Shi Lei looked down on, but when they were brought here, it was said that they could be exchanged for gold of the same weight.

Such a profit amount is an important reason why Shi Lei must start this trip to Tibet.

This is thanks to the great ancestors, who made the people on the plateau definitely think that a piece of porcelain should be worth so much gold.

For such a cognition, Shi Lei will definitely not break it.

And the wine that Shi Lei brought over this time was all purchased from Yazhou, a high-grade wine produced by a small workshop.

The real Jiannan Burning Spring, only a little was prepared, and it was to be given to the real key people as a gift to open up the trade route.

For people living in the highland mountains, something that makes people feel warm when they drink it in their stomachs is sure to conquer everyone.

It's just that it takes a bit of effort to transport wine from the mainland, and it's completely understandable that it's a little more expensive to sell at this price.

"Master Hou has vision and courage, this trip will definitely be able to succeed immediately, and the wealth will be rolling."

After getting the information she wanted, the female officer didn't mind sending more auspicious words.

After all, these things have been shipped, whether they are sold directly to the Eastern Women's Kingdom or continue to go deep into the hinterland of Tibet, their profits are indispensable. Naturally, the more bold you are, the more goods you can ship, the better.

Just as the two were chatting, an inconspicuous-looking special combat team, riding his takin, ran over quickly and rushed to Shi Lei's side to report loudly.

"The head of the Qiqi family, fifty miles ahead, I found a large number of people with weapons, and the scale was about a thousand people.

It should be a horse thief, and the target is us, and it is expected to meet the enemy in an hour. ”

Although the report was on the enemy's situation, the scout was not nervous at all, and his tone was still so flat.

"Oh? I've been waiting for a long time. Shi Lei said with a little excitement. (To be continued.) )
