The Chinese nation has always been a tolerant and assimilating nation, often able to adopt foreign cultures for their own use, and can make foreign nations also accept the cultural customs of the Chinese nation. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In the Han Dynasty, especially after the solution of the Xiongnu problem, the influence of the Chinese nation on the surrounding areas became more and more obvious, especially for those high-level people of different races, to be able to live the same life as the Han people, is their greatest pursuit, so there will be a trading point on the border of the Han Dynasty, these high-level people of foreign races will use their own tribe of cattle, sheep and horses, in exchange for the unique tea silk in the Han region (of course, tea has a great effect on the nomads, It's not just for enjoying life), and something unique, so that these high-level people of different races can live the life they "want".

Therefore, Liu Xin wants to start from this point and grasp the weakness of the foreign race, so that these high-level people from the foreign race can obediently send these war horses that Liu Xin wants.

Therefore, Liu Xin's chips this time are still those items from modern times, but this time Liu Xin only intends to provide a few items, such as the most basic lighter, after all, there are too few fire-making tools in these years; Then there is the mirror, after all, everyone has a love for beauty, but there are not many bronze mirrors in the outside area, so the mirror provided by Liu Xin will undoubtedly be the favorite of those high-level people of different races; Finally, there is a batch of ceramic knives, because the mental habits of foreign races are basically based on barbecue, and then use daggers to cut large pieces of barbecue to eat, and although the ceramic knives provided by Liu Xin are similar to these daggers in nature, but this foreign atmosphere, so Liu Xin feels that ceramic knives will not lack a market in the foreign races.

Thinking of this, Liu Xin told Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang his thoughts, and said the role of the three commodities he prepared, and Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang were all dazzled when they listened.

After all, Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang can be regarded as people who have seen the world on the border, so they also know that those foreign races yearn for the life of the Han Dynasty, and often let the caravans of the Han Dynasty bring some porcelain or silk satin to send them over, and buy them at a high price, so Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang brought a lot of porcelain when they went to the border last time they traded on the border, and in the end, each piece of porcelain was sold at a good price.

And now the three items provided by Liu Xin are undoubtedly very surprising, and just this gimmick, which is rare in the Han Dynasty, is enough to make those high-level people of the foreign race compete with each other, so Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang have already decided in their hearts that as long as Liu Xin can give them enough goods, they can definitely exchange a thousand war horses from the hands of the foreign race!

Of course, the "enough" here is actually not much, Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang estimated that the three commodities should each come four or five, after all, scarcity is expensive, even foreign races understand this truth, so Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang both feel that it is enough for each commodity to have four or five looks, which is enough for them to use their eloquence to convince these high-level people of foreign races, and there will definitely be some kickbacks...

Of course, Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang didn't dare to ask for these kickbacks, after all, they didn't dare to offend Liu Xin.

Therefore, Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang didn't dare to be cautious in front of Liu Xin, so they simply told Liu Xin their thoughts.

However, Liu Xin also remembered a question, that is, whether he should sell the toiletries that were about to be put into production to the hands of foreign races.

You must know that these Saiwai ethnic groups are nomadic people, according to the different seasons of the year to migrate their ethnic groups to different horse farms to live, and the living conditions in the Saiwai area are very difficult, there are only a few large lakes in the grassland, and these lakes also have to provide drinking water for the foreign races and their cattle, sheep and horses, where can people go down to bathe casually?

As mentioned above, ordinary officials in the Han Dynasty can only take a bath about once a week, and ordinary people can only take a bath almost once a month, so the number of baths of foreign races is even more touching, and there is really nothing to say about their sanitary conditions...

Of course, Liu Xin has also heard that Europeans in the Middle Ages were proud of not bathing, and their time was about two hundred to one thousand years, you must know that in the ancient Roman period and ancient Greece, Europe was full of public baths, and even formed its unique bathing culture, but according to the research of scientists, the water pipes used by the ancient Romans contained a large amount of lead, resulting in a large amount of lead poisoning by the ancient Romans who liked to bathe, and their physique and intelligence were greatly affected, so they were broken by the Germanic and other barbarians at that time.

Of course, there is also a saying that in the Middle Ages, there were large-scale plagues throughout Europe such as the Black Death, so some people attribute the cause of the plague to bathing, because the hot water used in bathing will open and close the pores on the skin, so that germs can better invade the human body, so that the absurd reason in modern times is regarded as a classic by the royal family members of European countries, so a large number of European kings have stood up to advocate this statement, plus Christianity at that time also stood up to join in the fun, It means that "the filthy body can be closer to God", and canonized those who insisted on not bathing for the rest of their lives (such as Abraham), and from then on Europeans were never bathed.

Thinking of Liu Xin here, he couldn't help but mourn for those friends who traveled to medieval Europe, because medieval Europe is synonymous with dirty and messy, and there is feces and urine everywhere, Liu Xin still remembers that the moats of many European cities are composed of feces and urine, and in palaces like the Palace of Versailles, there are no special toilets, and they can defecate anywhere...

Therefore, it's better to travel to the Han Dynasty, at least compared to the living conditions in Europe, the Han Dynasty is more able to be recognized by modern people...

The words are far away, Liu Xin felt that if the toiletries were sold to the hands of the foreign races, the price would definitely be several times or even dozens of times higher, so Liu Xin discussed with Zhang Shiping and Wang Shuang for a while, and then made up his mind to include the toiletries in the trade with the foreign races, and Liu Xin also sought benefits for Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang, and handed over the right to operate the toiletries to the foreign races to Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang, and then Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang gave Liu Xin's share of the benefits according to the ratio of five to five. Directly converted into war horses or some other goods, and then sent to Yizhou.

As a result, Liu Xin and Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang reached a trade agreement, Liu Xin will give Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang enough start-up capital, and then Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang can also borrow Liu Xin's name business, Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang will send a thousand horses to Yizhou within half a year to Liu Xin for acceptance, and will continue to deliver high-quality iron resources to Liu Xin within a year, predicting that the number of iron will be about 100,000 catties, and all transportation costs will be borne by Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang.

Everyone was happy.

Liu Xin, Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang all got the results they wanted, and He Jin saw that the time was almost up, so he said goodbye to Liu Xin with a smile and left with Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang.

Although He Jin seems to be just a middleman this time and does not get much benefit, in fact, or in the next time, He Jin can get a lot of benefits, because He Jin successfully promoted the cooperation between Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang and Liu Xin, which made other people who are interested in making friends or doing business with Liu Xin see He Jin, a middleman who can speak, so Liu Xin can have a hunch that the threshold of He Jin's mansion will soon be stepped on.

However, these are not things that Liu Xin should care about, because Liu Xin refocused his attention on the Luoyang auction, and the reason was that Liu Xin saw an old acquaintance, the first Wang Situ of our Han Dynasty - Wang Yun (the second is naturally Wang Lang who was scolded to death by Zhuge Liang).

Liu Xin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, Liu Xin didn't expect Wang Yun to come to participate in this Luoyang auction, although Wang Yun, as He Jin's old friend, it is not impossible to come to support the scene, but now Wang Yun can be described as poor and white, after all, Wang Yun's foundation is not in Luoyang, but in Bingzhou, so Liu Xin has heard that Wang Yun's mansion in Luoyang City is not big, and he is not at all the style of the three princes of the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, Liu Xin felt that Wang Yun should not be present on the way to the Luoyang auction at the beginning, after all, the auction items in the Luoyang auction this time can all be sold at a high price, but they all belong to the kind of auction items with added value higher than the actual value, as for the added value here, it naturally refers to Liu Xin.

Therefore, if Wang Yun really wants to support He Jin, he will definitely auction an auction item, and it can't be the kind of auction item with the lowest price, so the money Wang Yun needs to pay can be imagined, and in this era, there is no card payment, transfer payment operation, can only be paid in cash, so in order to ensure the smooth progress of the Luoyang auction, He Jin asked all the participants to misplace the auction funds they prepared in advance He Jin here, Then He Jin opened a note to these people, and after the Luoyang auction ended, they could refund more and make up for less.

Therefore, unless He Jin and Wang Yun planned to perform a play together, either He Jin provided Wang Yun with sufficient funds in advance, or He Jin returned the money used by Wang Yun to participate in the auction afterwards, both of which were very troublesome.

However, at this time, Liu Xin noticed that Wang Yun was joking with a young man beside him from time to time, and it seemed that Wang Yun and this young man should have a very good relationship.

Therefore, Liu Xin suddenly felt that the reason why Wang Yun came to participate in the Luoyang auction today was for the young man beside him, and nine times out of ten, he would still come to him.

Thinking of Liu Xin here, he couldn't help but start thinking about a question, that is, who is this young man?

In various records, Wang Yun almost did not see Wang Yun's son, but when Wang Yun was killed, almost all of Wang Yun's clansmen were buried with him, and according to the etiquette of the Han Dynasty, the young man next to Wang Yun should not be Wang Yun's son, because there is no possibility of such an equal relationship between father and son...

Therefore, Liu Xin estimated that this young man should be Wang Yun's distant relative, or Wang Yun's son of a world friend.

As Liu Xin expected, the young man next to Wang Yun auctioned off an auction item at the beginning of the second half of the Luoyang auction, Liu Xin felt that he was going to meet Wang Yun nine times out of ten today, but Liu Xin adhered to the idea of striking first, and decided to let Dian Wei invite Wang Yun and the young man up.

So, Dian Wei went downstairs and invited Wang Yun and the young man up.

As soon as Wang Yun entered the VIP room, he said to Liu Xin with a smile: "Lord Wang, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Liu Xin naturally smiled and said: "Wang Situ, how can you say that we haven't seen you for a long time, we only met a few days ago, just now this king saw Wang Situ from above, so he couldn't help but call Wang Situ up, I don't know if you have disturbed Wang Situ?" ”

Wang Yun shook his head with a smile, and said to Liu Xin in a mocking tone: "Where is it, since it is the prince who summoned him, how can he talk about it as an interruption, by the way, this is the nephew who is below, Wang Lingzi has a long article." ”

Wang Yun took the opportunity to introduce the young man behind him to Liu Xin, Liu Xin looked at the young man with some surprise, but he didn't expect that this young man turned out to be Wang Yun's nephew Wang Ling.

Wang Ling is a native of Qi County, Taiyuan, and his uncle Wang Yun was the Situ of the Han Dynasty, because he presided over the assassination of Dong Zhuo, and the rumors that Wang Yun wanted to kill all Dong Zhuo's subordinates, so Dong Zhuo's generals Li Dao, Guo Yan and others in the name of avenging Dong Zhuo, the first strike was strong, and killed Wang Yun's whole family in Chang'an, Wang Yun left in Chang'an, only Wang Ling and Wang Ling's brother Wang Chen were still young at the time, so they were able to escape from Chang'an and return to their hometown in Taiyuan.

Wang Ling in the early years and Sima Yi's brother Sima Lang, Jia Kui and others became friends, and later was promoted to filial piety, as the head of the hair, and was later sentenced for the crime, but during Wang Ling's sentence, he happened to meet Cao Cao's inspection, because Cao Cao learned that Wang Ling was Wang Yun's nephew, and he committed a crime in the line of duty, and immediately relieved Wang Ling of his servitude, and entrusted him with the post of Xiao Cavalry Master Bo, and then turned to Zhongshan Taishou, because of the meritorious service in governing Zhongshan, and later was appreciated by Cao Cao and served as the prime minister's subordinate.

However, Wang Ling's birth time was around 172 AD, so Wang Ling was able to escape in the Chang'an Rebellion, so now Wang Ling should still be a seven or eight-year-old child, but Wang Ling, who is now standing in front of Liu Xin, looks like he is about twenty years old, not to mention that he has already taken the table words.

Liu Xin felt that he seemed to be pitted by the way of heaven again...
