Luan Yi smiled and said to Qubei: "The relationship between your ministry and my Han has a long history, and although there were some conflicts during the period, who didn't have a bump in the neighborhood?" Now, if we are willing to live in harmony with your neighbor, we must first show some sincerity. And the first step to show sincerity is to open the country and export the blade to your ministry. As long as you want to buy it, although you choose the sword, gun, sword, halberd, axe, hook and fork, as for the armor...... We have also prepared the best armor for your department, and you can have as many as you want. ”

"Platoon?" Go to the humble bar and click your lips, "Yesterday, did His Royal Highness King Qi's triumphant army sergeant wear the new fish scale armor, Mingguang armor and that step heavy armor for sale?" There are also magic knives and thunderbolts that are not sold. ”

Yikes! This is quite familiar with the new equipment of the big man. Luan Yi had long expected that Qubei would ask like this, so he said: "Redeem the truth, whether it is the divine sword, fish scale armor, Mingguang armor and step armor, or thunderbolt car. It's very complicated to make, and even my Holy Sect army can't complete all of them, so naturally they can't be sold to the outside world. ”

This Luan Yi is not so kind, clean those old-fashioned weapons of the Han Dynasty to fool people, what kind of swords, guns, swords, halberds, axes, hooks and forks...... Even the row of armor, it is all eliminated by the Han people, and it is not a rare thing.

But then again, with the forging process of the Han people, these eliminated things can be regarded as divine weapons on the grassland. Listening to Luan Yi's meaning, not only will the price be very fair, but it will also be a finished product. At least it's more cost-effective than buying smuggled iron and stone at a high price.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but move. Use the weapons of the Han people to capture the Xianbei people, and then sell the Xianbei people to the Han people to earn money, and then change weapons and then captivate the Xianbei people. If this cycle continues, you can not only continue to weaken the strength of the Xianbei tribes, but also continue to increase your own strength. Why not kill two birds with one stone.

But after calming down, Qubei still felt that it was too hasty to agree like this, so he said, "His Royal Highness the King of Qi." In the next visit to the Han in the capacity of an envoy, the specific matters still need to be reported to the list, and the old man will decide personally. ”

Luan Yi smiled and said, "That's nature. Later, the drama master will draw up a detailed recital, and the bothersome Lord Bei will bring back Shan Yu to report to the kitchen Shan Yu. ”

"Humble and willing to serve."

"There is a hard work to be humble!" Luan Yi returned to his seat and said leisurely: "That's all I have to say today. I still have a lot of important things to deal with, so if you have nothing to do, let's step back for now! ”

To humble himself and get up, covering his chest with his right hand is another standard grassland salute, "Go and humble and say goodbye." Then he bowed down and walked away.

Seeing the figure disappear outside the door, Xi Zhicai asked Luan Yi, "Brother Yi, do you say that the Huns will go to the Xianbei people to plunder slaves and trade with us?" ”。

"Yes, definitely!" Luan Yi said confidently, "Although there are many wise people among the Huns, their vision is definitely not as long-term as ours. They only knew that large sums of money could be obtained through the slave trade, which were exchanged for sharp weapons and tough armor from the Han Chinese. This is beneficial to them without any harm, and they do not do it in vain. Didn't you see the triumphant look on his face when he left? At least Qubei himself has been moved by our words, attracted by our fragrant bait, even if the Huns do not agree to our request, he himself will secretly instruct his subordinates to rob the Xianbei people and trade with us alone. You must know that he also has tens of thousands of Hun elite horsemen under him, and if it is only appropriate, it can also bring a lot of trouble to the Xianbei people. ”

Xi Zhicai nodded, "That Xianbei person has a hard time." But then again, Yige'er is not too hasty in selling weapons to the Huns. They are not easy people, and you are not afraid that they will use our weapons to turn against us in the future. ”

"Afraid, how not afraid! But the old play. The Han Dynasty has closed the Saibei trade route for so many years, have the Huns ever broken iron tools? ”。 Luan Yi asked himself: "No...... The reason for this is that as long as there is demand, there is trade, and there is no wall that can intercept trade. Although the Han Dynasty explicitly forbade the sale of ironware to Saibei, what was the result, there were not a few smugglers and traffickers who took risks, and they were repeatedly banned. The Huns and Xianbei people still have scimitars and iron armor. The world is all for the sake of profit, since it can't be blocked, it is better to let go. Right now, all the soldiers and horses of our Holy Sect are replacing with new equipment, that is, the steel weapons made by Pu Yuan using the Su Iron Method, as well as all kinds of new armor. In this way, the old-fashioned fried iron makes old weapons and armor useless. These blades are not as good as the new ones in terms of hardness and strength, and most of them are products of the Yongxing period, they are older than both of us, and they are rusty in the warehouse. It can't be used, it's impossible to return to the furnace for forging, and it's a pity to lose it. Rather than continue to stay in the warehouse and corrode into ashes, it is better to sell it to the Huns and turn waste into treasure for some money. Old drama, what do you think! ”

"What Yi Ge'er said is very reasonable." Xi Zhicai laughed, "Use the rags to exchange money with the Huns, and the Huns will lose a lot of money now." ”

"They're not going to lose that." Luan Yi took a sip of tea, "I think I earn money from the Han through the slave trade, but I can't imagine the degree of thirst for Han products among the Xiongnu nobles. Only a small part of the money they earned will be exchanged for relatively useful blades, and most of them will eventually be exchanged for tea, glass, silk, machinery and other items and finally flow back to the Han Dynasty. You must know that these things are consumables, and they are used up or broken once and have to be used a second time. In this process, with round after round of exchanges, the nobles in the Xiongnu will gradually adapt to the luxurious life of wearing silk, drinking tea and wine, and using luminous cups in daily life, without which they will be very uncomfortable. As a result, they will become more and more frantically capturing slaves and exchanging products with the Han. For our Han, the overnight wealth of the Huns will inevitably increase the demand for our Han products, which will bring a large number of orders to the various chambers of commerce in the Han Dynasty. Correspondingly, the arrival of slaves has also greatly increased the production capacity and production volume of our chambers of commerce in Dahan. The superior market and abundant human resources form a virtuous circle, which will bring immeasurable wealth to Dahan. Since we produce all deep-processed products, and the slave trade of the Huns is just the most basic bottom trade, the benefits obtained by the Han merchants will be much higher than those of the Huns, and it is we who will profit in the end. Do you understand? ”。

"I see. If it weren't for Brother Yi'er's words, I wouldn't have seen through it. "The drama is full of energy.

"One more thing is crucial. The Huns plundered slaves from Xianbei, and it may have been relatively smooth at first. However, it is impossible for Xianbei and Lian and Kebineng to ignore this, and they will definitely retaliate against the Huns in the future. At that time, the Xianbei Huns and grassland tigers and wolves will kill each other, and we can fight the tigers in the mountains and seek the benefits of the fishermen. ”

Xi Zhicai stroked his palms and laughed, "It's a good place to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight." Yi Ge'er not only strengthened himself with this plan, but also weakened the enemy. It can be said that there are many birds with one stone, and the day of the destruction of the Huns and Xianbei is not far away! ”

Luan Yi waved his hand and said: "Eh~ It's too early to say such things at this time, we must not be careless, we still need to plan carefully." He paused for a moment, and then said to Xi Zhicai: "Now that the cold winter is coming, the heavy snow will close the road, and I am afraid that I will not be able to return to the grassland for a while." In the past few days, the tired old drama has taken more people to go around the Han Dynasty, and go to the prosperous areas of Qizhou, Qingzhou, and Xuzhou to take a walk, so that he can see the current style of the Han Dynasty, so that he can have an understanding of the national strength of the Han Dynasty. Thinking of seeing the abundant products and strong national strength of the Han Dynasty, he must be jealous and dare not be our enemy in the future. Also, take him to church more often, preferably a few times. ”

"What do you mean?"

Luan Yi said with expectant eyes: "It would be best if we could get him to believe in the Holy Sect before the beginning of spring next year." When the time comes, I will give you credit for the old drama. Even if he didn't want to be religious, try to persuade him to allow the Holy Church to send messengers to spread the gospel of the Lord Mother in the realm of his right king. ”

"It shouldn't be difficult, it's on me."

Luan Yi smiled and bowed his hand, "Then there will be Lao Lao's play." ”

"Oops! Brother Yi is polite to me. With my old play's three-inch incorruptible tongue, I will be able to say that I am humble, if not, you will cut my tongue. ”

"That's not going to happen! I'll have to keep it for me to tell me a story! Luan Yixiao's eyes narrowed into a line, "I won't say more kind words." Come, replace the wine with tea, and wish the old opera a victory. ”

Xi Zhicai immediately picked up the teacup and drank it all, "Dry!" Brother Yi, just wait for my good news! After speaking, he put down the teacup and went to the post station to find him.

In the next two months, Xi Zhicai took him to the east of Beiyi Road, crossed the Tiger Prison Pass and turned south, and visited the newly built dry dock in Runan.

Here, for the first time, I saw what is called the rolling traffic, thousands of carts from Tiannan and Haibei gathered outside the market at the dry wharf, carrying silk and tea from the south, and transporting wine, cloth, glass and other goods from the north to the south. Merchants from the north transported crops from the south to the canal and river ports, and then transported them to Jizhou, Youzhou and other places in the north after being loaded on ships.

Some of these goods were sent to the Saibei grassland. However, after squatting on the dry dock for a day, he saw only two ships of goods destined for the outside of the Saiwai. It accounts for only a small part of the total currency, and its quantity is only one-tenth of the amount of food in the state......

It can be seen that the wealth of the Han Dynasty has such great purchasing power. At the same time, it can also reflect the barrenness of the grassland.

"It's a shame!" The dignified prairie is not as strong as the purchasing power of the poorest state of the Han Dynasty, and he feels a big loss of face when he goes to Beidu, "It seems that I have to hurry up and take some slaves and make more money." ”

Leaving Runan, Xi Zhicai took Qubei to take the ferry to the north at the nearest canal and river port, and the prosperous scene along the river made Qubei feel frightened for a while, and the rich city made his mouth water. He knew that he once wanted to return to Shan Yuting, and suggested that Shan Yu send troops to the Han Dynasty to plunder these mountains of gold and silver. But recalling the triumphal ceremony he saw a month ago, those majestic and mighty Han soldiers, he couldn't help but shiver and threw that stupid year out of his mind.
