Text Chapter 370 Grassland Trade Plan The Dangentropy Mountain Prairie is vast, and the entire area is basically equivalent to the sum of the two great empires, and there are many ethnic groups in the grassland, and the specific number of large and small tribes of each ethnic group is even difficult to count!

Life on the prairie is far more difficult than in the interior, and every time a large-scale natural disaster occurs, it is a nightmare for the people living on the prairie! In the previous year, the grain production in the entire territory of the Eastern Continent was reduced, and some small tribes were even exterminated in the Dangentropy Mountain prairie affected by it, which was unbearable!

Under such circumstances, the people of the prairie have an unusual desire for life in the interior, and countless wars have broken out between the two sides for the land for thousands of years, the most recent example is the recent destruction of the Song Dynasty by the Six Kingdoms!

However, although the soldiers of the grassland peoples have amazing physical strength, extremely strong individual combat effectiveness, and the quality of the army is far above that of the inland army, if you count the wars over the past generations, you will be surprised to find that the two sides have won and lost a lot!

There are two main reasons, first of all, there are many ethnic groups on the prairie, and the hatred between various ethnic groups is also countless, so most of the time it is a plate of scattered sand, and it is difficult to work together to deal with foreign enemies.

In addition, another important reason is that although the fighters of the grassland people far exceed the inhabitants of the mainland, they do not have the skillful iron-smelting technology, and the level of weapons and equipment is obviously inferior to that of the hinterland.

It was this situation that made Wang Dafu full of doubts about whether to sell arms in the Tongye Tribal Market! - If it is only sold in small quantities. It will not make any profits, and it will not have any obvious benefits for promoting the development of the Tongye Tribal Market, but if it is sold on a large scale. The consequences are hard to say!

After all, there are two blacksmith grandmasters in Green Willow Town, and the weapons they produce are among the few in the entire Eastern Continent! If such sophisticated weapons flow into the steppes on a large scale, it is likely that the inhabitants of the interior will face the steppe peoples in the future. Lose an important dependence!

If such a thing really happened, then Wang Dafu would be the sinner of the entire nation!

In view of this situation, although he knew that there was a huge value of interests hidden in it, Wang Dafu still hesitated......

Seeing that Wang Dafu was a little hesitant, Qiao Zhiyi already knew what he was worried about after thinking about it, and asked with a smile at the moment: "Isn't the Lord worried about the impact of these refined weapons on us in the future?" ”

Wang Dafu shook his head slowly when he heard this, and said, "I'm not worried about the situation in Greenwillow Town...... "There are two blacksmith grandmasters in Greenwillow Town, two tailor grandmasters, and Shen Kuo. Snape, Arslan is such a special talent, Wang Dafu is not worried at all that someone will surpass him in the manufacturing level of weapons and equipment, manufacturing technology - he will definitely not be stupid enough to take out the most advanced and cutting-edge weapons and equipment here to sell, the problem is that the most rubbish weapons and equipment produced in Greenwillow Town may be regarded as high-end goods if they are sold elsewhere!

Qiao Zhiyi chuckled: "Lord, you don't have to worry about this problem. I've got the whole plan. ”

Wang Dafudi's eyes lit up suddenly: "Old Qiao, come and let me hear it!" ”

Shopkeeper Qiao smiled confidently: "In the final analysis, my plan is still based on the technology of our Green Willow Town, and I prepared it like this......"

Joe's plan is simply control! Control the types of trade. Control the quantity of trade, control the object of trade, and control the way of trade!

The types of munitions sold in the Tongye tribe are strictly controlled, limited to weapons, and mainly focused on combo crossbows, in addition to a small number of swords for sale. It is strictly controlled and absolutely not allowed to be sold.

That's why. It is because the raw materials used in the various armors produced by Greenwillow Town have been specially processed by the skeleton alchemist, and in the case of the same thickness, the weight is one-third lighter, and the defensive performance is one-third higher, that is to say, relying on the armor made of this material, you can form a super heavy cavalry with a speed comparable to that of ordinary light cavalry and a defensive ability that exceeds that of ordinary heavy cavalry! This is also one of the reasons why the combat effectiveness of the troops in Greenwillow Town is so terrifying!

If that steppe people were allowed to form such an army, it would be a nightmare for all inland empires, and Wang Dafu would never tolerate it!

Of course, Qiao Zhiyi also has his own reasons for making such an arrangement, from a purely commercial point of view, the formation of heavy cavalry is not the traditional habit of the grassland people, so restricting the sale of this kind of commodity, that is, it will not affect the reputation of Luliu Town on the Dangentropy Mountain prairie, and it is a good thing to kill two birds with one stone!

As for the "Combo Crossbow", Wang Dafu doesn't care about selling, although this weapon is also a very terrifying murder weapon, but after all, Green Willow Town has a "Magic Combo Crossbow" that is far more powerful than the "Combo Crossbow", so this weapon was originally intended by Wang Dafu to be sold.

The most important thing is that the crossbow arrows used in the "Combo Crossbow" have strict production requirements, and without drawings, they cannot be made elsewhere, that is to say, even if they are bought by the peoples on the grassland, as long as Wang Dafu refuses to provide them with crossbow arrows, this thing will immediately become scrap metal! So Wang Dafu is not worried about the uncontrollable consequences of this kind of weapon outflow!

As for the war knife, the war knife that Wang Dafu plans to take out and sell cannot split the standard armor of the army in Green Willow Town, as for whether it can split the standard armor of other armies...... Wang Dafu doesn't plan to pursue this!

"Anyway, the amount of sales won't be too much!" Wang Dafu muttered thoughtfully: "At most, it is enough to arm tens of thousands of people......

It is easy to understand the number of weapons sold to the Dang Entropy Prairie according to Qiao Zhiyi's plan. It will be strictly limited to a controllable range, but in line with the principle that rare things are expensive, coupled with the excellent quality of the weapons produced in Greenwillow Town. The price will be a little higher!

"Hmm~~ Old Joe, the price you set is too outrageous, right?"

"What? Lord? Do you think it's still too low? ”

“…… Still too low? ”

"Lord, don't worry, I will continue to raise the price after the buyer has used it!"

“…… Old Joe. You are really ......" The profit is so high that people like Wang Dafu feel embarrassed, is this still called business?

In Qiao Zhiwei's plan, it is also necessary to strictly control the trade object, which has been strongly affirmed by Wang Dafu, but Qiao Zhiwei is simply in business, and controlling the trade object can reduce a lot of unnecessary risks for him, and cultivating loyal customers is of great significance for future development. (Anyone who sells should know the importance of loyal customers, right?) ）

However, Wang Dafu seems that the significance of this is far more than that!

If the subject is not provided with these high-quality weapons to anyone, it is likely that the chaos in the Gran Prairie will remain uncontrolled for a long time. Such a result is not in the interests of Greenwillow Town!

If only one or two targets are provided with these high-quality weapons, it is likely that the Dangentropy Mountain Prairie will be unified by one tribe or divided between two tribes in a short period of time, and this result is not in the interests of Green Willow Town!

Greenwillow Town needs a peaceful Dang Entropy Prairie, but Green Willow Town does not need a unified group of Dang Entropy Prairie!

"Old Joe, I think we should have five or six people to trade."

"Oh, Lord, that's exactly what I'm going to report to you. This time, we visited all the large tribes of more than 10,000 people in the Dangentropy Mountain Prairie, and reached a trade agreement with the seven tribes in the middle of it! According to Wang Dafu's intelligence. There are as many as twelve to thirteen large troops of more than 10,000 people in the Dangentropy Mountain Prairie, all over the entire territory of the Dangentropy Mountain Prairie, and the farthest barbarian tribe is stationed on the Arctic Ice Sheet all year round, Qiao Zhiyi actually reached a trade agreement with this tribe this time!

"Old Joe, you're too powerful!"

"Hehe, thank you, Lord, for the compliment. I suggest that this arms business be carried out only with these seven tribes! ”

"Good! Do as you say! ”

Seven large tribes came forward. It is believed that it will soon be possible to calm down the Dang Entropy Mountain Prairie, and it is easy for the tribes of seven different ethnic groups to jointly dominate the grassland, and it is basically impossible to unite to attack the interior......

The last point put forward by Qiao Zhiwei: controlling the way of trade is the essence of his entire trade plan!

According to Qiao Zhiwei's plan, all trade operations must be carried out in the Tongye Tribal Bazaar, and Greenwillow Town is not responsible for transporting goods! This not only greatly reduces the risks taken by oneself, but also comprehensively promotes the development of the Tongye Tribal Market - if you want to trade, you have to send people, as long as someone comes, you will make other consumption, and as long as you consume the Tongye Tribal Market, it will develop!

But this is just a small trick, the real feast is in the back! - When trading, the Greenwillow side does not charge any gold coins, but adopts a bartering situation, allowing each tribe to exchange the products produced by their own tribe for the goods that their tribe needs to sell!

At first glance, there is nothing special about this, and it seems very verbose, but the trap set by Qiao Zhiyi is here! ——The "products that Green Willow Town needs" he listed are all kinds of luxury goods, such as high-end carpets, exquisite artworks, and various traditional crafts on the grassland!

As mentioned earlier, luxury goods are labor-intensive, take a long time to make, and have no real use, but they are a necessity for upgrading township-level territories to city-level territories in the future!

So as soon as Wang Dafu saw Qiao Zhiyi's plan, he immediately realized that this was simply a few birds with one stone, killing several birds with one stone!

With the supply of these luxury goods, Wang Dafu no longer needs to worry about the problem of territorial upgrading in the future!

At the same time, because luxury goods are not necessities, horse thieves on the grassland have no interest in them, and are unlikely to be looted in the process of transportation, and the risk taken by Greenwillow Town in this trade is minimized - here, Wang Dafu directly ignores the risk taken by the other party in the process of transporting the arms back to the tribe!

In addition, Wang Dafu also discovered an extremely insidious and extremely hidden intention hidden by Qiao Zhiyi: although the price of luxury goods is high, the manufacturing process is difficult and the output is limited, and because the price of arms in Luliu Town has also been raised to the point of unreasonableness, so in order to exchange for a little more arms, these tribes are bound to transfer a large number of people to make luxury goods, and their production efficiency of daily necessities is reduced......

Sure enough, Qiao Zhiyi followed up and said: "Also, Lord, I suggest that we increase the supply of the necessities of life for these tribes, and it is best to fully meet their needs in this regard, and in order to do this, even reduce the supply price appropriately!" At the same time, we have to start stocking up on some necessities for the unexpected! ”

What did Wang Dafu rely on to control the Tongye tribe in the first place? Grain! The most basic necessities of life!

When the needs of the seven tribes who were busy fighting for the necessities of life were fully satisfied by Greenwillow Town, they were eager to improve their own strength, and they had to find ways to produce more luxury goods in exchange for more weapons from Greenwillow Town......

Thinking of this, Wang Dafu couldn't help but laugh: "It seems that this chaos is still full of time!" "This guy is just trying to excuse his decision-making mistakes!

This time, Qiao Zhiyi didn't give him face: "Alas~~ If it weren't for this inexplicable chaos, where would we need such trouble, at most it would take an ordinary amount of time, and we would have been able to achieve the purpose of acting together!" ”

Wang Dafu: "......"

Suddenly seeing that Qiao Zhizhi was still unsatisfied, and seemed to want to lash out at himself, Wang Dafu quickly diverted the topic: "By the way, Old Qiao, your family was also one of the nine business leaders in the Eastern Continent, do you know who the most mysterious ninth elder of that merchant is?" And what is Mr. Zigong's identity in the business? ”

Qiao Zhiyi blinked when he heard this: "Mr. Zigong? He's the guest elder of the merchant! What else can you be? After a slight pause, he shook his head and continued: "As for the ninth elder, to be honest, I don't know who he is, maybe my third brother will know, I only know that this elder is the elder of the merchant family who replaced the wealthy merchant Wang Yuanbao of the Tang Empire, and since then, his identity has been a secret!" ”

Wang Dafu thought for a moment when he heard this, and at this time Qiao Zhiyi was already about to leave, and when he was leaving, he suddenly added: "By the way, the time when he ascended the throne was actually not long, probably before and after the first emperor was assassinated, right?" ”

"Before and after the first emperor was stabbed? Isn't that ......" After Qiao Zhiyi left, Wang Dafu completely fell into deep thought......
