When he arrived at the Tianhu Lake mentioned by Lai Ba, Yun Zheng found that the Tubo people were very sincere in trading, and a large open space was specially enclosed by a wooden fence on the edge of the rippling Tianhu Lake, which was specially used as a place for the caravan to trade. Yun Zheng even saw the majestic Tibetan warriors guarding here, and this kind of treatment was already very high for a businessman.

This time there was no need to blow the trumpet himself, and the shepherds themselves had already blown the horns to the sound of the horns, and such sounds were transmitted to the depths of the grassland one after another.

When Lai Ba introduced Yun Zheng to Naxi as his young master, the headman's butler gave Yun Zheng a great welcome, and after hugging him affectionately, he hurriedly reported the news of the caravan's high-level visit to his master.

Yun Zheng smeared a little Suhe incense into his nose without a trace, this viscous liquid immediately exuded a clear fragrance, and his head, which was smoked by the smell of Naxi's body just now, immediately sobered up, this time the meeting with the Tubo head person is very important, and he needs to stay awake enough.

The Tibetan people have a very magical place, that is, the herdsmen and farmers at the bottom are very simple, and they can even be said to be uncivilized, but their social elite class is smart and terrifying, and later generations have encountered those reincarnated living Buddhas, even the living Buddhas in the smallest temples, their profound knowledge and unique insights often make Yun Zheng breathtaking.

The head man was amiable when he saw Lai Ba, but when he saw Yun Zheng, he put the pomp and circumstance on a full display, and the two rows of majestic warriors lined up on the wall, with an extraordinary momentum of standing tall and shy. Some of the knives inserted indiscriminately in the waist are deliberately exposed, and the complicated tassels on the handle of the knife are fluttering in the wind, and the mighty mess is a mess, Yun Zheng persistently thinks that those knives are not terrible, what is really terrible is the smell of sheep in the sky, there are many people, and this terrible aura makes people have nowhere to hide.

had to increase the dosage of Su Hexiang, Yun Zheng had to admit that the head man's dismount was too powerful.

Walking into the big tent of the head man, the situation here is even more terrifying, seven or eight women in flower clothes are chattering around the head man and telling their demands. Sandalwood smoke curls from the incense burner. The ghee on the fire pit was boiling away, and the grease-stained oily carpet silently conveyed to Yun Zheng the richness of the Eagle Division.

Agate and tortoiseshell are all Buddha treasures, and they are paired with holy silver. It has become the most noble jewelry of the Tubo people on the grassland. The samurai would only put these on their weapons. And the woman will make them all over the place,

Yun Zheng admitted that the plateau red on their faces was beautiful and sunny, but in front of their own masters. Giggling and putting his hand in his arms, is it really appropriate to look for something everywhere?

The monkey and the Han Niu were holding two red lacquered wooden plates, the wooden plates were covered with red silk cloth, this is the gift that Yun Zheng brought to the head person, the tea brick was only available in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and was taken out early by Yun Zheng now, the reason is that the tea is not easy to transport, and it is loose, and the volume is not easy to transport at all, and then Yun Zheng remembered that he had visited the Yangdonglou Tea House, so he steamed the tea leaves with steam to soften, and then pressed them into strips with molds, In this way, a pound of tea bricks can not be compared with the place saved by loose tea leaves, as for the nutrient-rich fungi in the tea bricks of Yangdonglou, whether there are any of them in their own tea bricks is really not something that Yun Zheng can consider.

Anyway, the volume of tea has shrunk, and it doesn't take up much space, so I broke a piece and tasted it, the taste is really not enough to say, a small piece can make a lot of tea water, presumably this is enough.

Tibet belongs to the alpine region, the altitude is more than three or four thousand meters, tsamba, milk, ghee, beef and mutton are the staple food of the Tibetan people. In the alpine region, it is necessary to consume high calorie fat, but there is no vegetable, the tsamba is hot and dry, too much fat is not easy to decompose in the human body, and tea can not only decompose fat, but also prevent dryness, so the Tibetan people have created a plateau living habit of drinking butter tea in their long-term life, but Tibet does not produce tea.

Originally, he was still a little apprehensive, but since he heard about Lai Ba's surgical process, Yun Zheng felt sad for his such a ruined behavior when he thought of the tea stalks he had sifted and threw away.

The white silk cloth was held in both hands and hung around the neck of the bewildered leader, of course he had never seen such a high-end gift, which had only prevailed after the preaching of Phags-pa.

"Venerable headman, this is the fairy streamer, I wish you eternal protection by the gods, it also symbolizes pure friendship, it is the most haode gift I offer you."

The head man touched the white silk, but he stared at a person who was huddled in the corner, and hurriedly said a few words of Tibetan language.

"Master, this Hanke is paying you his boundless respect, he says that this white silk is a fairy streamer, and bless you to be forever blessed by the gods." The man sitting in the corner hurriedly replied.

Although he spoke in Tubo, Yun Zheng still found out that this guy was a Han at the first time, and it could be seen from the gesture that this guy was a scholar.

Oops, since Zhang Yuan's defection to the party Li Yuanhao was reused, many scholars who were unhappy in the scientific examination room followed suit, feeling that their full revenge had nowhere to be shown, so they took the initiative to serve the barbarians around them, hoping that their talents would be recognized.

Yun Zheng's eyes flashed with coldness, and with a smile on his face, he arched his hand to the person in the corner and asked, "But I don't know where Mr. studied before, what kind of writing does he have?" Being able to meet my ancestor Hongru in the distance was really a surprise to my late life. ”

"Oh? You are a businessman, you are actually a scholar, it is really strange, the old man Huang Youting, the words are good and beautiful, the past is unbearable to look back, not to say, now it is the knife and pen of the king of Qionghou, you come from the Han land, you should know the rules, the grassland is scarce, the profits you should earn will naturally be earned by you, but you must not be insatiable, the people are simple, but the steel knife on the waist is also good, don't make mistakes. ”

"This is natural, in business, you get what you pay for, this is the ancient adage, Yun's firm Tong Su is not bullied, since you have arrived at the Eagle Department, you must have heard of it, the goods of the trumpet can have defective products, and the shoddy haode thing is even more unheard of, right?"

"The old man has seen your goods, and they are passable, and the transaction in Han is nothing more than that, although the price difference is huge, considering your difficult trafficking process, it is also reasonable, maintain your character, the eagle department is rich and powerful, and nature can make you rich."

When the Han man named Huang Youting came out of the dark corner, Yun Zheng clearly heard the Han Niu and the dog behind him crying "Huang ......" in surprise.

Yun Zheng slapped the monkey's head with a backhand, between the lightning and flint, Yun Zheng already knew who the Han man in front of him was, this guy must be the Mr. Huang on Yuanshan who relied on storytelling to eat, at this time, there would be a hundred harms and no benefits to debunk him.

"Haha, Mr. Huang is my Han master, this is really good, it just so happens that there is a new tea to introduce to the head person, so please ask Mr. to explain it hard, and there should be a small gift after the event."

When Huang Youting saw the monkey and the cow at first glance, a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face, he was slightly stunned, but he maintained his superiority and nodded reservedly in agreement.

The monkey and the Han Niu put the wooden plate in front of the headman, Yun Zheng lifted the silk cloth on the top, and said to the headman: "Since the Han and Tubo began to have tea transactions, our generation of merchants can be said to have suffered the hardships of tea, light weight, easy to damage, I don't know how many people on the long trade road for these tea leaves in the wilderness, become lonely ghosts.

The same is true of the first few transactions with your department, the three horses are all tea, but the goods exchanged are not as good as the salt of the thirty percent, it is ashamed to say, because of this matter, the late life has been scolded by his father and brother several times, after a lot of hardships, the income is not as good as the income in the Han land, but the tea is inseparable from the people of Tibet, if there is no tea in the goods of a trip, you say, this is still a caravan that is beneficial to Tibet?

Therefore, the late life tried his best to develop a new method of transporting tea, that is, the loose tea leaves were pressed into such strips, and the surprise appeared, under the same weight, not only can you bring more tea, these tea leaves also have some other flavors, the tea soup is red and bright, after brewing, you can also regulate the stomach after drinking, which invites the head person to watch. ”

Yun Zheng picked up a tea brick and gave it to Huang Youting with both hands, and the moment the two of them handed over the tea brick, a piece of silver in Yun Zheng's sleeve quietly slipped into the sleeve of Huang Youting's leather robe.

Huang Youting really has the temperament of a Han person, there is an extra heavy thing in his sleeve, but his face is light and light, and he respectfully handed the tea brick to the headman, and the head man put it on his nose to sniff after getting the tea brick, looking at Yun Zheng suspiciously, waiting for him to explain further.

Yun Zheng beckoned behind him, Han Niu took out a small stove that had been lit from the bamboo basket on his back, put a wooden plate on the greasy carpet of the head family, and the monkey took out a set of tea sets from the rattan box behind him, this set of tea sets was customized by Yun Zheng, the Song people like rabbit cups, but Yun Zheng likes this kind of white porcelain cup as thin as cicada wings, the outside of the porcelain cup is painted with a cluster of orchids, the whole tea set looks elegant and noble, and it is a first-class product at a glance.

"Please sit down and have a cup of tea." Yun Zheng knelt straight with his waist pulled out and sat straight, and invited Huang Youting to take a seat.

Poor Huang Youting was half down, there was a chance to accept such a noble invitation, and after muttering in the headman's ear for a while, Yun Zheng found that the smile on the headman's face was gone, and with a wave of his hand, he drove those chattering women out of the tent, and sat straight waiting for Yun Zheng's performance.

The monkey and the Han Niu put all kinds of dried fruits and snacks in a small porcelain plate of the same style, candied fruit, wine dates, soft pears, black plums, and half-green and non-yellow baked apricots. The crispy ring cake, the well-known dripping crispy snail, and mung bean cake are all some of the delicacies that are durable and not easy to spoil.

Huang Youting and the head man's throats kept stirring, and if it weren't for Yun Zheng's presence, they would have pounced and chewed. (To be continued......)
